Chapter 51 School Start (Part 2)(1/2)
When a person truly cares about others, he often temporarily forgets himself.
This is what Uzumaki Naruto looks like today.
He seemed to be aimlessly walking back and forth in the square of the Ninja School, but he turned a blind eye to the looks in the eyes of a few people that had severely damaged his soul. On several occasions, he even took the initiative to look at other children.
But after their eyes collide, he will immediately move in another direction. His extremely serious look makes people unable to ignore his movements.
Unconsciously, his heart was no longer as empty as before.
"How could it not be?"
He muttered as if he was looking for someone.
The improvement in his diet in the past two months has allowed Naruto to grow two or three centimeters in height, and the color of his hair is now much brighter than before.
The thin clouds that covered the sun were moved aside by the wind, and the nine o'clock sun in the morning shone on his golden hair, embellishing the beads of sweat falling on his forehead into a unique light, which contrasted with the sky-blue eyes.
.
The light-expanding white swirl pattern short sleeves make the gentle light scatter in all directions, making it dazzling but not eye-catching.
Because of this light, many children who thought Naruto looked weird because of his beard also changed their minds.
When many veteran jounin saw him, they couldn't help but feel slightly dazed, remembering the trustworthy figure they once had. Now that man's face was carved on the Hokage Rock not far away.
But today, Naruto didn't care about other people's opinions at all. Because the person he wanted to see the most had not yet met.
[Yiyong was injured outside the village and may not be able to report tomorrow.]
Last night, the reminder from the third generation old man was swirling in his mind.
Naruto was eager to see Giyuu, not because it would relieve his loneliness; but based on his understanding of Giyuu, if Giyuu couldn't come here today, his injuries must be very serious! After all, he had never seen Giyuu who was more capable than Giyuu.
People who endure pain.
So how could he not be worried when he didn't see anyone?
"If only I were taller, I could see everyone..."
Driven by worry, Naruto looked around and finally noticed a lush evergreen tree standing on the edge of the square, which was very suitable as an overlooking point for observation.
He passed through the crowd again and ran towards the tree, passing by the girl with white eyes who had just raised her right hand.
"Ming..."
Before the white-eyed girl could say hello, Naruto had already hurriedly walked around from the other side.
The little sound Hinata Hinata just made was extinguished in her throat. She lowered her eyes, looking a little disappointed, worried that she had been forgotten because she was too inconspicuous.
She cautiously raised her head and glanced at her father.
The latter was looking at every child around him with a scrutinizing gaze, but when his eyes returned to his daughter, he pursed his lips tightly, frightening the latter to immediately lower his head and stare at the pale fingertips without moving.
"Ningci was the leader of the first grade last year and brought glory to Hinata, so the elders in the clan are very happy."
Hinata Hinashi calmed down in a stern tone: "As the heir of the clan, even if you cannot be the same as Neji, you must not fall too far behind. Do you understand what I mean?"
There are two Uchiha in his daughter's class, and he has given up hope of being number one.
Originally, he had not planned to come today, but the misunderstanding between Uchiha and the village had just been resolved, and the clan felt that it was necessary for him to show up on such an occasion, so they changed their minds.
But after listening to his second-grade teacher talk about Ningji's performance last year, while he was relieved, he was also more dissatisfied with Hinata.
"……yes."
Hinata replied quietly in a voice that only she could hear.
Her father's expectations weighed on her shoulders like a mountain, making her a little breathless. However, she was somewhat happy when she heard that brother Neji was praised.
Hinata Hiashi didn't hear her daughter's response, and just about to scold her, she noticed that Uchiha Mikoto was walking over with a child, and it was Giyuu who still had a bandage on his knee.
Although it is not nice to say this, when Hinata Hiashi saw Giyuu, a child who was said to be even more reserved than his daughter, he inexplicably gained some psychological comfort.
Who says a tiger father has no canine son (female)? Isn’t this just a fact?
[But, aren’t they twins? Where did the other one go? 】
On the other side, Uzumaki Naruto quickly climbed up the evergreen tree outside the square while no one was paying attention to him.
He held the tree trunk with one hand and stepped on the four-meter-high branches with both feet, looking down constantly.
His eyes fell behind the podium in the square, and he saw a third-generation old man discussing something with a man with a pineapple head. After looking at his watch, the man with the pineapple head pointed at the podium, and the old man also put away his cigarette rod and began to organize his
clothing.
"It looks like the ceremony is about to begin."
Naruto made a judgment.
Sure enough, as the three-generation old man stepped onto the podium, the parents and children in the square quickly dispersed, each stood in a quiet position.
Naruto smiled. The crowd dispersed, and he could see the backs of the people below more clearly. As for what the old man said, he had no intention of listening now.
His eyes were like a scanner, searching for Yiyong's back in the crowd.
But at this moment, he heard a muffled sound of footsteps, and the source was under his feet.
Naruto looked intently, his eyes bursting with dazzling light - a young man with a hedgehog hair and wearing a high collar and short sleeves with a table tennis racket pattern was holding the tree trunk with one hand and looking at the crowd over there.
His head turned slightly, obviously looking for someone.
【It’s volunteerism!】
Naruto will never forget the symbol behind Giyu, which is the Uchiha clan emblem.
Not only did he firmly believe that this child was a volunteer, he even immediately figured out the reason why the child was here.
【Is he here because he is looking for me? 】
Although he only guessed half of it right, his whole body and mind were immediately surrounded by huge warmth. Especially when Giyuu didn't seem to be seriously injured, Naruto's worries were completely relieved.
Just when he leaned out slightly and wanted to say hello to "Yiyong" in a low voice and let him go to the tree to watch the opening ceremony together, "Yiyong" seemed to be very annoyed. He clenched his fist with his left hand and hammered the tree trunk hard, gritting his teeth.
He spat out a few words.
"Damn it! Damn it! Where are you?!"
It was "Yiyong" that contained an angry strike. As soon as he leaned out of his body, Naruto, who had trouble maintaining his balance, suddenly felt a violent vibration coming from the tree trunk.
"Wow--"
His feet were unsteady, and he danced like a cat on roller skates. When he fell from the tree branch, he did not forget to let out a scream that resounded throughout the audience.
When the "Yiyong" under the tree heard the noise, he suddenly looked up and saw a yellow-haired child, hitting him like a comet falling to the ground.
At this distance, he should have been able to avoid it.
But after the two of them looked at each other, he felt dazed for no reason, as if they had known each other for a long time, but he was sure that he had only seen each other a few times on the street.
But in this dazed moment, he missed the best opportunity to dodge. The yellow-haired kid had already bumped into him and hugged his shoulders. The two of them fell to the ground at the same time and rolled several times on the playground.
Just stopped.
Eventually, the smoke and dust cleared, revealing its contents——
Because of the loud shout that Naruto just fell from the tree, everyone in the square, from the Third Hokage to the vendors who were joining in the fun and selling exam stationery, all looked in their direction, and then unanimously
stunned.
After all, no one would have thought that today’s children would perform such an outrageous act as kissing on the first day of school.
And one of them has the Uchiha clan emblem painted on his back.
After the two children suddenly separated, both of them looked horrified.
"Who are you?!"
After the two people asked this question in unison, they turned around and held their throats, holding on to the nearby trees and mouthing "yue". It was obvious that they had suffered great psychological trauma.
Especially Naruto, when he noticed that the other person's eyes contained too much emotion when he landed, he knew that this person was definitely not a righteous hero.
However, everything happened too fast.
The new students in the square were already deeply impressed by these two children because of some previous events. They will never forget them after this time, and can even bind their memories.
In short, when you think of one of the two, you can't help but think of the other. The more famous they are, the wider the story will spread.
"Sasuke, Sasuke's first kiss..."
In the crowd, Ino leaned weakly in her mother's arms, her eyes dull, as if she had lost hope.
The Third Hokage only spoke less than 1% of his speech, and his old body stood motionless on the stage.
"Mrs. Mikoto..."
Hinata Hiashi covered his daughter's eyes and turned his head with a strange expression, "That black-haired child must be Sasuke."
Uchiha Mikoto did not answer, her expression dull.
【Sure enough, I should have asked Fugaku to bring them here.】
It's not that she didn't expect that her son would do something embarrassing to her today, but what she never expected was that this person was not a giyu who couldn't read the air, but Sasuke!
Just now when he said he was going to the toilet, he should have been stopped.
To be continued...
