Xu Fan turned around and looked and found that the person who came was not someone else, but Naruto Uzumaki before.

He closed his eyes, held a stick in his hand, and made a yelling sound in his mouth, rushing towards this side.

"Naruto?"

Xu Fan was surprised by this and couldn't figure out how Naruto was here for a while.

Isn’t he enjoying ramen in Yile Ramen?

Kakashi quickly recognized the person.

"I'll leave it to you to deal with this." Xu Fan looked around, looked at the corpses all over the ground, and threw them directly to Kakashi. Regardless of his reaction, he rushed forward quickly.

In any case, Naruto Uzumaki is a child now. If he is allowed to witness the corpse at the root with his own eyes, it may have a psychological impact on him.

Taking two steps at a time, Xu Fan pulled the wooden stick in Naruto's hand, then turned around and reversed his and Naruto's body positions at two levels, so that he could turn his back to Kakashi and the corpse of the Root Ninja.

However, this did not calm down Naruto. Instead, he clenched his small fist and swung the turtle punch hard.

Xu Fan looked speechless, so he had to throw the wooden stick away and then hold his hands tightly.

As a result, Naruto naturally began to struggle.

"It's me, Xu Fan."

Xu Fan took a deep breath and had to reveal his identity.

As soon as he heard the name Xu Fan, Naruto paused for a moment, and his closed eyes slowly opened.

When he saw Xu Fan really standing in front of him, his eyes suddenly became wet, and then he burst into tears like a river breaking through the dam.

"Very good……"

"Xu Fan..."

"Woooooooooooo...I thought..."

Xu Fan glanced at Kakashi and noticed that he had begun to deal with the corpses here and temporarily hid them in the woods.

At the same time, Kakashi also gestured to Xu Fan, indicating that he could stabilize Naruto's emotions.

Xu Fan nodded, slowly let go of Naruto's hands, then half-squatted down and wiped Naruto's tears.

"Men don't cry easily if they have tears."

Xu Fan's voice was very gentle, "Why did you run here? Is the ramen not delicious?"

Judging from Naruto's performance, it was not like a coincidence that he appeared here.

"I……"

Naruto sucked a handful of his nose and began to explain.

Xu Fan was the first friend he made and the first peer to treat himself to ramen.

Perhaps to Xu Fan, I am just one of many friends.

But Xu Fan was his only friend to him.

When the root ninjas took Xu Fan away, Naruto was particularly worried.

So he ran out of the ramen restaurant and walked all the way until he saw the root ninja attacking Xu Fan.

Naruto had seen such a scene, and he was suddenly frightened.

"I'm sorry, Xu Fan..."

Naruto apologized to Xu Fan while crying.

When he saw those people attacking Xu Fan, his instinct was not to help him immediately, but turned around and ran away.

Xu Fan was obviously his first friend.

But at a critical moment, I chose to escape because of fear.

"It's because of this?"

Xu Fan couldn't help but be stunned, not knowing for a moment that he should cry and laugh.

Although those root ninjas are not their opponents, Naruto is not sure.

In his eyes, he was just better than Sasuke, not a real ninja.

Even Naruto was afraid of running away, which was enough to prove this.

But even so, Naruto turned back.

In Xu Fan's opinion, this can be done not just by mustering up the courage.

It is precisely because I am alone that I understand that helpless mood.

Because of being isolated, we treat people with gentleness.

"Okay, okay." Xu Fan's lips raised, and the brightest smile appeared, and he wiped Naruto's tears. "Aren't Naruto coming back to save me?"

"But……"

Naruto was still twitching his nose and wanted to turn around, but found that Xu Fan's hand was wrapped around the back of his head, stopping his turning back.

Looking at Xu Fan while smiling, Naruto seemed to understand something.

"It's already... it's okay." Xu Fan said gently, "Thank you, Naruto, for not giving up on me at critical moments. In my opinion, you are already the bravest person in this world."

"Thank you."

Looking at Xu Fan in front of him, Naruto became even more excited.

first.

This is the first time someone has said thank you to me.

It was the first time that some people said they were brave.

This is the first time someone praises themselves like this.

Even at this moment, Naruto felt that Xu Fan was the angel that descended beside him.

No one is better than him.

However, this also made it more difficult for Naruto to suppress his emotions and cried louder.

"Okay, OK."

Seeing this, Xu Fan had to stand up and gently touch his head.

Kakashi also took this opportunity to hide in the woods.

Xu Fan had no intention of urging Naruto, and allowed him to release all the pressure he had been doing.

In fact, Xu Fan knew in his heart that the reason why Naruto cried so sadly was not just because he chose to turn around and run away because of fear.

And his always helplessness, weakness, pity, and loneliness.

It is precisely because of this that he is so persistent in his feelings.

Treat Sasuke like this, Sakura like this, and Jiraiya like this.

Now... to myself too.

Even Xu Fan didn't know how long Naruto had cried, but he knew that after he completely released the pressure, it was already dark and his chest was wet.

"Xu Fan..."

"I'm here." Xu Fan nodded, "Are you going back?"

Instead of speaking, Naruto was silent for quite a long time, and seemed to be struggling with something to choose.

Xu Fan was not in a hurry and waited patiently for Naruto.

After a long time, Naruto asked Xu Fan as if he had been plucking up all his courage and made up his mind.

"Can you teach me?"

"Um?"

"I want to be stronger..." Naruto took a deep breath, his hands clenched into fists, "I want to be stronger..."

"Then become a Naruto?" Xu Fan joked, thinking that Naruto must want to become stronger and then become a Naruto, and gained recognition from the village.

In fact, Naruto has such a personality.

However, Naruto's answer surprised Xu Fan a little.

"Well, I want to be a Hokage, and then surpass all Hokages and get everyone's recognition, but..."
