Chapter 253 Naruto: Appointment

Chapter 253 Naruto: Appointment
Facts have proved that children don’t understand reasoning too much, and they don’t have the tolerance and understanding of adults.

After learning the truth, Naruto now feels endless grievance and budding hatred.

Even the scorching sun could not melt the frozen ice. Even a child like Naruto, who was naturally optimistic and cheerful and willing to forgive others, could no longer look at the village in front of him with love.

"Why? Isn't this how Konoha always treats heroes?"

Lu Li's tone was full of sarcasm.

Naruto wiped his tears and looked at Lu Li curiously, "I'm sorry, big brother, I don't know your name yet. Do you know my parents?"

"I can tell you my name, but Naruto, it's a secret between the two of us."

Lu Li smiled and said, "My name is Lu Li. If your father were still alive, he might tell you some of my stories, but Minato is dead."

"Land from……"

Naruto chewed on the name, but he had little education and just spent his days in the village in a daze. He had never read any history books, so he didn't know the meaning of this name.

"Brother Lu, can you tell me about my parents?"

Naruto no longer wanted to ask why the village treated him like this. The reason seemed unimportant anymore. He just wanted to hear about his parents and imagine what a wonderful life his life would be like if his parents were still alive.

"That's a long story, why don't we talk while we eat? How about Ichiraku Ramen? It's my treat."

Lu Li said with a smile, after wandering around Konoha Village for an entire afternoon, he felt hungry again.

He didn't care at all about the actions of the explorers and Anbu in Konoha Village. Even if all the strong men came out, it would be difficult to stop him anyway.

Obviously, the Third Generation was not stupid. Although he couldn't hear what Lu Li said to Naruto during the surveillance, when he saw Naruto so excited with tears in his eyes, he would of course feel that something was wrong.

If they were not in the village and Naruto was not with Lu Li, they would have probably captured the mysterious man Lu Li and tortured him.

"Really!?"

Naruto said with some excitement, but he didn't forget his sadness and anger, he just buried it deep in his heart.

"Of course, I can still afford a few bowls of ramen."

Lu Li took Naruto out of the park and headed to Ichiraku Ramen's restaurant.

Uncle Yile was a little surprised when he saw Lu Li, and his eyes seemed to be saying, "You can eat so much?"

"Boss, ten bowls of ramen first."

Lu Li generously ordered ramen and talked to Naruto while eating.

Since he was surrounded by the Anbu anyway, he had nothing to worry about and didn't care about letting Uncle Ichiraku hear their conversation.

"Well, my dad was really great, and my mom was also very good, but unfortunately... they are both gone."

Naruto listened to Lu Li's narration and constructed an image of the two people in his mind. He loved and admired his parents, but he was very sad when he thought that they had passed away.

He felt even more upset when he thought about how his parents risked their lives to defend Konoha and used him as a sealing vessel for the Nine-Tails to successfully protect the village.

Even with his stupid brain, he could clearly understand that his family were heroes who protected the village, but how did the village treat him, the heroic orphan and little hero?

There is only exclusion and endless indifference.

As soon as he thought of this, Naruto no longer had any desire to become Hokage.

As a Hokage, should he protect those who treated him cruelly and make them accept him?

Why!

He just wants a few friends of the same age with whom he can have genuine interactions. Why is it so difficult?

When walking out of Ichiraku Ramen, Naruto touched his stomach. Ichiraku Ramen should be delicious, but after eating, he did not feel the usual satisfaction.

"Brother Lu, you are actually... not from the village, right?"

Naruto asked as they strolled to the park again.

Lu Li was a little surprised. He didn't expect that little Naruto would have such an IQ, but he still admitted it readily, "Yes, I am a traitor. I fought alongside your father in the Third Ninja World War, but I was eventually squeezed out of the village. The specific reasons are too complicated, so I won't explain them today."

"That's it..."

Naruto was in a low mood. Traitor-nin, what a harsh word. In the past, he always thought that traitor-nin should be a vicious and evil villain, but he did not think that Brother Lu in front of him was a bad guy.

As far as he could remember, apart from his third-generation grandfather, the only person who was kind to him was Brother Lu whom he met today.

After knowing the truth, he is now very disappointed with his third-generation grandfather.

"Brother Lu... do you feel lonely as a rebel ninja?"

Naruto looked up at Lu Li's face and asked carefully.

"Lonely? Maybe. I am alone most of the time. But when traveling, I also meet all kinds of interesting people and sometimes I can make friends."

Lu Li said this with emotion, he was not saying this as a ninja, but as a pioneer who traveled through the heavens.

Naruto stood there with a conflicted expression. After thinking for a long time, Naruto mustered up the courage to speak: "Brother Lu...I want to go with you, is that okay?"

Lu Li was stunned. This was not in his plan. He just wanted to tell Naruto the truth, change Naruto's development path, and earn a lot of exploration points.

But he can't take care of children, and he is a pioneer and will leave this world after his stay is over.

He looked at Naruto and knew what Naruto was thinking. Even though the kid had said so much, the fact that he wanted to leave the village now was not because he hated this place.

But Naruto was moved when he heard him say that he could make friends by being a rebel ninja outside.

In the final analysis, Naruto was just too afraid of being alone. If Konoha Village couldn't give him warmth and let him make friends, he wanted to go somewhere else, a place where he could make friends. "Naruto-kun, you are Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. You are still young and may not understand what this means, but Jinchuriki are usually regarded as decisive weapons by the village. If I take you away, Konoha will hunt you down to the ends of the earth."

Lu Li said with a serious expression.

Naruto lowered his head upon hearing that, digging the toes of his thin boots into the ground, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made such a willful request."

"but."

Lu Li's change of tone made Naruto's heart tremble, and he looked up at Lu Li with hope.

Lu Li smiled, "If you are willing to believe me, Naruto, I know a good village where you can be placed. I remember there are several excellent young ninjas around your age. You two may have something in common."

Naruto's eyes lit up when he heard that, "Really?"

"Really? But not now. I've been targeted because of my contact with you. I'll find a chance to take you away after a while."

Lu Li said that he would not take Naruto, a little guy, to break out when Konoha was on guard, because if he did that, Naruto might die on the way.

If you want to take Naruto away, it's better to wait until Konoha's destruction plan is complete and the situation is in chaos.

"When was that?"

When Naruto heard that he had some friends, he couldn't wait to leave this cold place.

"It won't be long. I have an appointment with you."

Lu Li stretched out his little finger and made a pinky promise with Naruto.

"Then it's a date!"

Naruto smiled, showing off his neat white teeth.

"I have to leave now. The Hokage will probably summon you for questioning. Relax and just say I told you who your parents are."

Lu Li said this, turning and walking into the woods outside the park.

Just after leaving Naruto's sight, figures came from all directions, all of them were Konoha's Anbu. The explorers did not take action because they saw Lu Li's attributes...

Most of those who entered this world were explorers in the late third stage or early fourth stage, and those in the early fourth stage were also a minority. After the third-stage explorers guessed Lu Li's identity, they naturally did not dare to act rashly.

Sensing the approach of the Anbu, Lu Li used Flash Step and instantly sped up, disappearing into the jungle like a phantom. From another location, he used the transformation technique again to blend into the crowd of Konoha.

It can only be said that Konoha is still not serious enough. The Third Hokage should not have sent out the Anbu, but should have gone there in person. Otherwise, Lu Li could have left whenever he wanted, and ordinary ninjas would not even be able to see his shadow.

At this time, in the Hokage Building, the Third Hokage had a gloomy look on his face.

"Who was that person? What did he say to Naruto?"

He asked the ANBU in front of him.

"According to the information obtained at Ichiraku Ramen, the mysterious man seemed to have told Naruto the truth about his life experience, and he was talking about the Fourth Hokage and his wife in the store."

The Anbu, who was kneeling on one knee, reported quickly.

The Sandai rubbed his brows and said, "Things are a bit troublesome... It's really a troubled time."

The recent Uchiha affairs have already given him a headache.

Kakashi was attacked by someone with the Sharingan, and this incident caused tensions to build again between the village and the Uchiha clan, which had finally eased their relationship.

The third generation was not so impulsive. He rejected Danzo's plan and suppressed the matter for the time being.

But for some reason, the Uchiha clan actually found out about this and thought that the Konoha high-ups had made them the number one suspects. They were very angry, and these days someone had been clamoring for Kakashi to come out and confront them.

Obviously, most Uchiha did not believe that this was done by their clansmen, and thought that this was a means for the Hokage lineage to throw dirty water on them.

Originally, the Uchiha clan were suppressed by the clan leader's authority in the past few days, so they did not continue their rebellion plans and had to swallow their anger and go through the marriage.

You have to know that most of the Uchiha people are rebels, and they are not very willing to get married. This policy is only implemented under the authority of the clan leader.

Now that this incident has happened, what the Third Generation did not expect is that before they could hold anyone accountable, the Uchiha people were already unwilling to do so after hearing the news.

All I can say is that there is no longer any trust between the Hokage clan and the Uchiha clan, as both sides believe that the other side will do bad things.

The third generation has been worrying about the Uchiha affairs these days, and now a mysterious person has appeared to instigate his good great-grandson and Konoha's Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto, which makes him feel like he is about to have high blood pressure.

"Huruzen, you seem worried."

At this time, someone walked into the office. It was Konoha's advisory elder, Danzo Shimura.

"It's all because of Uchiha and Naruto."

The third generation rubbed his eyebrows, extinguished the crystal ball, and stopped monitoring the actions of the Anbu over there.

"I heard about Naruto, Hiruzen. It seems you have your bad moments too."

Danzo seemed to be gloating. "If you feel that you lack energy, why don't you step down and let me help you deal with this mess?"

The Sandaime frowned, "Danzo, if you use your methods to deal with this situation, the village will suffer serious damage."

"You can continue to use your plan to deal with the Uchiha side, but compared to the Uchiha, we have more serious problems now, right?"

When Danzo heard that Naruto was instigated, he knew that his chance had come. "The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is an important asset of the village. As a weapon to intimidate other countries, its importance is even higher than that of the Uchiha. If this matter is not handled well, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will become alienated."

He looked Hiruzen in the eyes and smiled, "Even if he is the son of your disciple Minato, do you think he will forgive the village?"
