While Shisui was frantically thinking, he walked back home and, after leaving the bustling area, turned onto a road built along the river.
"Ah... damn... he escaped again..."
Suddenly, Shisui heard a complaint, unconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man shouting on the shore with a fishing rod, his golden hair looking particularly dazzling in the sunset.
"Naruto..."
Shisui was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected to run into Naruto here. Speaking of which, this was the second time he'd met Naruto. The first time was when Naruto came looking for Shisui.
At that moment, Naruto also spotted Shisui. When he saw the same pattern on Shisui 's sleeves as on Sasuke's clothes, Naruto was surprised. This must be Sasuke's tribe.
The two looked at each other in the air and the world seemed to stop at that moment.
call…
A gust of breeze stirred the grass and flew away. Shisui and Naruto looked away at the same time and sat down doing their own things, it seemed as if nothing had happened at that moment.
For Naruto, although Shisui is from the Uchiha clan, he is not familiar with him and may be another person who harbors resentment towards him.
For Shisui, having the Mangekyō Sharingan and coming into contact with the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki was simply to provoke the Third Hokage into tolerating it.
At least now is not the time. Shisui shook his head and continued walking toward his house. Suddenly, Shisui heard a scream and turned around quickly.
For the past two days, it had been raining continuously in Konoha, and the shoreline was extremely wet. Naruto slipped and fell into the water with a splash. The rushing current instantly submerged him.
The next second, Naruto leaped out of the water and swam desperately to shore, but the current was strong and Naruto was only seven years old. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't resist the gushing current with all his might.
"Help... Gululu... help..."
The gushing current kept coming, and as Naruto opened his mouth to call for help, the water from the current poured into the water. The current wasn't just gushing, it was also freezing cold. In less than a minute, Naruto felt as if he were in an ice cellar; his limbs were numb, and he felt so heavy that he no longer had the strength to swim.
Am I going to die?
Shisui looked up at the darkening sky and as soon as this thought came to his mind, a figure descended from the sky, grabbed his hand and lifted him out of the cold current.
Before Naruto had time to clearly see who the other party was, he saw an amazing scene: the other party's feet were actually walking on flat ground above the panting water.
"Amazing!"
Naruto was surprised, looked up and realized that the person who rescued him was from the same family as Sasuke.
Shisui reached the shore in a few steps and set Naruto down: "Are you alright?"
"cough…"
Naruto coughed up the water he had just drunk into his stomach and said thank you: "It's okay. Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I would have choked a moment ago."
Shisui said, "It's easy. You'd better stop fishing here. It's getting late. Go home and eat quickly."
"I'm the only one home and nobody cooks."
Naruto lowered his head, feeling sad, but soon he settled down and looked at Shisui with a smile on his face: "You saved me a moment ago, and I have nothing to thank you for. I'll treat you to grilled fish. I'll grill it. The fish technique is very impressive."
Upon hearing Naruto's invitation, Shisui thought for a moment and nodded: "Then I'll give it a try. Anyway, I'm going home alone!"
As for whether contact with the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki would make the Third Generation and other high-ranking officials think too much, it's no longer necessary; anyway, they've already been in contact and it's not too late.
"Same to you..."
Naruto looked at Shisui in surprise; he hadn't expected the man in front of him to be an orphan without parents, like himself. This brief phrase instantly reduced the distance between Naruto and Shisui.
Only those who share the same illness will feel sympathy for each other!
call…
A gust of cold wind passed by and Naruto, who was already wet, shivered from the cold, crossed his arms and rubbed them vigorously to increase the warmth.
When Shisui saw this scene, he raised his hand and placed it on Naruto's shoulder. When he felt Shisui 's hand, Naruto was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a warm current emanating from Shisui 's palm. This warm current surged through his body, first in his abdomen and then flowing out to his extremities. Wherever the warm current passed, the cold body warmed up rapidly.
If someone else did this, Naruto would unconsciously dodge it. Even though he's just a student at a ninja academy, he still has basic common sense.
I don't know why, but Naruto has an inexplicable trust in the person in front of him. Maybe it's because they're both orphans, or maybe it's because the other person doesn't harbor the slightest dislike or resentment toward his identity as a fox demon. Naruto can't say exactly what. Come on, but he can be sure that the man in front of him is a good person. Aside from his third-generation grandfather, he's the best person to him, by far.
The warm current heated Naruto's body and did not stop; it was released along Naruto's skin. Under the action of this warm current, Naruto's wet clothes heated up quickly, and a large amount of white steam rose.
"It's really... so amazing..."
Naruto was stunned by the scene, his face a picture of astonishment. As he fondled his body, he asked curiously, "How did you do that? Heat my body with just a touch and make me wet? My clothes are dry."
Seeing that Naruto's clothes were completely dry, Shisui withdrew his hand and explained, "This is just one way to use chakra. You can bring chakra into your body, and you can do so as long as you control a certain amount..."
"It's so simple," Naruto said excitedly, "Then teach me this trick."
"You can't learn this trick now. Maybe you can when you graduate from ninja school."
It's not that Shisui doesn't want to teach it to Naruto; it's that Naruto simply can't learn it. The principle seems simple, but making it simple with one hand requires incredibly precise chakra control.
"Alright."
Naruto was a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mood. Suddenly, something occurred to him. He eagerly ran toward the bucket in the distance. When he saw all the fish in it, he sighed in relief: "Luckily, I didn't run away. I caught four today. Enough to eat."
Naruto held the cube, turned to look at Shisui and asked, "I still don't know your name?"
"Shisui, Uchiha Shisui!"
Shisui smiled slightly.
Half an hour later.
A light rain was falling. Shisui and Naruto hid under the bridge and lit a fire. The flames illuminated their faces. The roasted fish sizzled in the fire, and its aroma wafted through the air.
Naruto smelled the aroma of the grilled fish and continued swallowing.
Shisui couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene and asked, "Did you run out of living expenses at the end of the month and have no money, so you went fishing?"
"Almost..." Naruto rubbed the back of his neck and said shyly, "I bought some kunai this month and spent a lot of money, so I can only fish for food. In two days, I'll pay off my living expenses." "I'll treat you to a big dinner again."
Upon hearing that Naruto had lived such a difficult life, Shisui sighed softly, feeling a little sorry for Naruto. Is this the life of the Hokage 's son ? Even the most basic necessities are insufficient.
In the same comparison, Konohamaru is not the son of the third generation, but the grandson of the third generation; not only does he have a prosperous life, but he also has the special Jonin Ebisu as an individual tutor.
On the other hand, Naruto, the son of the Fourth Hokage who saved the village on the Night of the Nine Tails and son of a hero, did not receive the treatment he deserved; no one knew his identity, everyone treated him like a demon fox, and excluded him and treated him with resentment.
It's a world of difference.
Equality, freedom, and the will of fire are nonsense.
