NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 2: Naruto: Don't you...... hate me?
"Whoosh~Whoosh~"
The white and blue waves crashed against the rocks, splashing into crystal clear white water several feet high.
They rushed to the shore and drew strips of silver on the beach, like setting a sparkling silver frame on the mighty sea.
Looking from a distance, the sky and the sea seem to be connected together.
Although it was just a scene simulated using the Book of the Red Moon, it still made people feel relaxed and happy from the bottom of their hearts.
On the beach, two figures, one large and one small, sat cross-legged facing each other.
Next to them, a "cold and domineering" nine-tailed fox was sleeping soundly, purring.
It looked like it was sleeping soundly, but the pair of fox ears that stood up high and twitched from time to time revealed its intentions.
——Fox Eavesdropping.jpg.
"I know you have a lot of questions but try to pick the ones you want to ask the most."
Uzumaki Menma was the first to break the calm and said: "If it takes too long, a certain old man may become suspicious."
"The Strongest Hokage" Sarutobi Hiruzen has a ninjutsu called "Telescope Jutsu".
As long as you master the chakra characteristics of any person, you can use a crystal ball to monitor specific people from a distance.
According to Menma's perception, as long as that smelly old man uses the telescope technique, chakra fluctuations will appear on the top of Naruto's head.
But now, Naruto's every move is under the surveillance of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Although little Naruto was curious about who the "old man" mentioned by his elder brother was, he still asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Big brother, don't you... hate me?"
The first question Naruto asked made Uzumaki Menma stunned.
He expected that little Naruto would ask him who he was, who the big fox was, or where this place was and how to get the fuck out.
But he didn't really expect that little Naruto would actually ask him if he disliked him.
"Why would I..."
I was about to ask in confusion.
Menma lowered his head and met the child's eyes. The second half of the sentence was choked in his throat, and he fell silent for an instant.
"I'm so dumb of course he would ask that" thought menma
He saw the purest hope in these blue eyes and also saw his own reflection.
Even Kyuubi, who was pretending to sleep, snorted loudly.
From the time Naruto was born until Naruto was three years old, the two of them had always been paying attention to his life.
After the death of the fourth hokage couple, the third-hokage was very old menma wondered if he was stupid and confused.
He actually left the infant Naruto in the care of a nanny.
The nanny was good in the beginning.
But ever since the rumor that "Uzumaki Naruto is the incarnation of a demon fox" came out 2 years ago, the nanny began to abuse little Naruto.
At first, she deliberately made Naruto hungry and thirsty, but later she actually wanted to add spices to his food
It was obvious that the ANBU responsible for "protecting" Naruto were outside, but they turned a blind eye.
Menma couldn't sit still anymore.
"Although he is a bit silly, he is still my peer in [the present world] and my appointed subordinate. How can he still be bullied by you?" menma thought at that time
He made the Kyuubi release a trace of unpurified tailed beast chakra, directly to the nanny's brain turning the stupid nanny into a brain fried idiot out of frustration.
It was great, but the result was that Hiruzen Sarutobi mistakenly thought the seal was loose and reinforced Naruto with a layer of the Five Elements Seal.
It had no effect on Menma Uzumaki, but the Kyuubi's cage was obviously smaller and tighter.
At the same time, the village also began to strictly prohibit mentioning words like "nine-tailed demon fox".
The villagers began to call Naruto "that" or just "demon". Due to fear and hatred of what happened to the nun, the previous beatings and scoldings developed into the current cold stares and emotions.
Although the news that "Uzumaki Naruto is the incarnation of the demon fox" was secretly spread by Shimura Danzo.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen just gave him a few "gentle" lessons to Danzo for spreading the nine tails information.
Now he is still watching in the dark, and it seems that he also wants to take the opportunity to test the stability of Naruto Uzumaki's the "container".
Then wait for the opportunity to enter, become the white moonlight in little Naruto's heart, and teach him the will of fire.
So far, the only three attitudes that little Naruto can feel from other people are disregard, hatred, and scrutiny.
No wonder the first question he asked Menma when he came up was if he didn't hate himself.
It is really stupid and sad to transfer all the hatred and malice to a child with just an inexplicable gossip.
"This guy Namikaze Minato is a qualified Hokage and a qualified ninja. But he is definitely not a qualified father, let alone a qualified politician." thought Menma
If Naruto is just an ordinary ninja, then as the son of a hero and the son of a Hokage, the higher-ups in Konoha will definitely not mind throwing him a bone.
But Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, the equivalent of Konoha Village's nuclear weapon.
Both Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo want to firmly control the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki in their own hands.
It's just that one method is extreme and low-level, and the other method is secretive and high-level.
Menma Uzumaki sighed inwardly.
Destiny's Child?
Ridiculous!
He's just a poor guy who has been manipulated by others all his life and can't change anything about himself.
Apart from his will and character, no matter in terms of vision, structure or means, the great Naruto we know in the story is simply terrible.
Even your lifelong dream may have been forcibly indoctrinated and brainwashed, so you won't leave the village.
"Instead of being used as a gun by that old toad and the old man danzo, why not let me show you the reality of the world."
Thinking of this, Menma's expression became gentler: "You are optimistic, strong and sensible, how could I hate you?"
It was just a simple sentence, but it made little Naruto stunned.
Then under the astonished gaze of the fox and the man.
His eyes became red, and tears could not stop falling.
"I'm sorry, oo~"
Little Naruto wiped his tears in panic and kept saying sorry.
The big brother just said that he admired his strength and optimism, but the next second he couldn't help but cry.
It's not easy to meet someone who appreciates you and has no malice, which is something worth being happy about.
I should have laughed like before.
But why do I feel so sad and want to cry...
The Nine-Tails didn't pretend to sleep anymore, and pouted at Uzumaki Menma, indicating that he should coax this kid quickly.
he hates the crying of these human cubs the most, which really makes the fox upset.
Menma's eyes twitched, and he really felt so uncomfortable.
He had never coaxed a child in his two lives.
"Alas." Uzumaki Menma touched little Naruto's head, "Cry, it's okay to cry."
No matter how sensible and precocious he is, he is just a three-year-old child.
But Naruto forced back his tears and showed his usual sunny smile: "I, I'm fine, sorry, big brother..."
"My name is Uzumaki Menma, call me Brother Menma."
"Brother Menma, I, I'm Uzumaki Naruto."
This was the first time that little Naruto introduced himself so solemnly, and he seemed a little embarrassed.
"Dried bamboo shoots" in Japanese is メンマ, and the Chinese translation is 麺马, which means "dried bamboo shoots on ramen", and the name "Naruto" is also synonymous with "Naruto roll" in ramen.
Naruto said in the original work that he likes Naruto rolls and hates dried bamboo shoots.
If nothing unexpected happened, Menma and Naruto should have been two completely opposite people.
But with the variable of the foreign soul, everything is different.
