Naruto: If I ask you to kill Sasuke, you will become a succubus?

"No, I'm afraid he'll hurt you."

Naruto was stunned for a moment, "Why would he hurt me?"

He seemed to hate Uchiha Sasuke very much: "Humph! That guy doesn't even have me in his eyes! That arrogant, self-righteous guy! One day, I will catch up with him and defeat him!"

I immediately said excitedly: "I support you!"

"Really? Chaolu believes I can do it?"

"Of course! I'll always support Naruto!"

"Hey..." Naruto looked at me and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Asahi is worthy of being my best friend!"

"Ok!"

We continued walking for a while, and Naruto's emotions gradually calmed down. Suddenly, he said, "But... that guy... is also alone now..."

"He has a brother."

"It makes no difference whether he has a brother or not! No, it's better not to have him at all."

"Then he is different from us."

"What's the difference?"

"If the two of us go to play on the swings, we'll be chased away, but if Uchiha Sasuke goes, the adults won't dare chase him away."

As the only orphan after the Uchiha massacre, anyone who dares to look down on him will probably be stabbed in the back and scolded to death.

"But, if that happens..." Naruto did not feel envious, "Wouldn't it be even more difficult for anyone to get close to him? Wouldn't that be the same as being rejected by everyone?"

I said nothing.

It's written in Orochimaru's intelligence that Naruto and Sasuke once became very, very good friends.

However, he also said that at this time, Sasuke was only thinking about revenge.

How did they become friends?

……

Naruto and I left the river.

But it’s not over yet.

The parents of the children who fought with us did not go to him, but went to complain to the management of the welfare home.

I was put in detention and not allowed to go to school for two days.

But on the first day of confinement, I heard Naruto's voice coming from the door in the confinement room.

"What?! You actually locked up Chaolu and didn't allow her to go to school! That's not Chaolu's fault! This is too much! Let Chaolu out now! Damn it!"

He was about to rush into the welfare home, but was obviously stopped by the staff.

"Rules are rules!"

Soon, there was no sound outside.

I thought Naruto had given up, but after a while, the ventilation window of the confinement room suddenly shook, and Naruto's face appeared outside the window. He said, "Chaolu, don't be afraid! We will definitely rescue you!"

NS?

I was a little surprised, and then I saw Shikamaru and Choji's faces appear beside him again.

Shikamaru looked helpless: "Ah... let's get it done quickly, the sun is so nice... it's perfect for a lazy nap..."

Naruto urged him, "Come on, Shikamaru, you can definitely open the lock!"

The door lock of the welfare home's solitary confinement cell was not complicated; it was just a wooden bolt blocking the door.

Shikamaru used his shadow to pull the wooden plug, and I was able to slip out of the room.

There was a wall next to the confinement room. Naruto and the others came down from the roof and squatted on the top of the wall. Choji used the partial multiplication technique to swell his arms, then let them down and pulled me up.

The four of us started running immediately and didn't stop until we had left the welfare home far behind.

Naruto was very happy: "Great!! We rescued Chaolu perfectly!!"

Shikamaru was not so optimistic: "It's not enough to just escape. If we don't go back to the orphanage, where will Chaolu go in the future?"

Naruto immediately said, "Live with me!"

Shikamaru was shocked: "…Is this true…!"

"Really!" Naruto didn't think there was anything wrong with it: "I live alone anyway, and my house is pretty big, so it's no problem for one more person to live here!"

"That's not the problem... You two are just kids, how could the orphanage agree to that!" Although Shikamaru is the same age as Naruto, he is as mature as an adult: "If you want Chaolu to leave the orphanage, an adult must come forward to take care of this matter!"

Naruto always thinks things are simple, he hates it being so complicated: "Why——"

"Otherwise, the people at the orphanage will definitely take Chaolu back." Choji said, "As for adults... the only reliable adult we know... is Iruka-sensei, right?"

The school teacher was not a good choice, but for now, there was no one else but him.

Shikamaru said: "We can only try to find him."

Dingci said with a bitter face: "If he knew that we ran out secretly, he would definitely scold us first."

But there is no way, I can't not go back to school.

Naruto and I are fine, but Shikamaru and Choji are taken care of by their parents.

It was almost noon, and the four of us were hungry because we hadn't eaten lunch. Although Choji had been eating snacks all the time, he was even hungrier after using the family secret technique.

We decided to go find Iruka-sensei for help after lunch.

As expected, Naruto took us to Ichiraku Ramen again.

As Naruto was eating, he didn't know what he was thinking of. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said to the boss of Ichiraku Ramen: "Uncle! Can you do us a favor?"

"what?"

"Uncle, can you tell the orphanage that Chaolu is not going back?"

"Eh? Is Naruto helping sister Chaolu find someone to adopt her?"

"No way! I want Chaolu to live with me from now on!"

When he heard that he didn't have to deal with the teacher, Choji became excited and felt that it would be better to find Uncle Ichiraku than Sensei Iruka.

Shikamaru said: "It should be something like a guarantor, right? Speaking of which, Naruto, who is your guardian now? Isn't that also an adult?"

Naruto slurped another mouthful of ramen, "It's the Third-generation grandfather. But, I always feel that he won't agree if I tell him, he's so old-fashioned!"

Choji was surprised: "Third generation? The Third Hokage?"

"Yeah. He comes to see me sometimes."

"You kid..." Shikamaru was a little surprised: "There is such a thing!"

The boss of Ichiraku Ramen looked at me and hesitated for a moment: "There is someone...who might be able to help."

Naruto was surprised and asked, "Really?! Who is it?"

"I'm not sure either. Let me try to contact you first."

"Wow - thank you uncle!"

The other party had probably called home several times to order Ichiraku Ramen's home delivery service, so the owner of Ichiraku knew his landline number.

Naruto looked at the boss with anticipation as he turned around and went to the inner room to make a phone call. He immediately turned around and looked at me excitedly, as if I would be able to go home with him soon.

The boss's voice came faintly, and his tone was very polite: "I'd like to ask you for help with something... I wonder if you have time to come over... Thank you very much..."

I didn't care, so I smiled at Naruto and continued to eat ramen in silence.

I was born not long ago and was not used to eating, so I ate very slowly.

Shikada has already started his third bowl, but I'm only halfway through it.

While waiting for the "someone who might be able to help" to arrive, Shikamaru was bored and calculated how much it would cost him every month to support me.

After all, I am an orphan from an orphanage. If I leave the orphanage, my monthly expenses will have to be paid by my adoptive family. Unlike Naruto, the village will give him living expenses every month.

He asked Naruto, "Do you have enough money to live on?"

Naruto knew that his living expenses were allocated from his parents' inheritance, but he was not very clear about how much his parents' inheritance was: "Well, I'll ask the third-generation grandfather to give me a little more!"

Not long after, a man dressed as a ninja with a body between a teenager and a young man opened the door curtain and came in. When the boss saw him, he smiled and said, "Hatake-kun!"

He glanced at the boss, nodded in return, and turned to look at us.

The boss introduced, "This is Hatake Kakashi. Don't be fooled by his young age, he is already a jonin in the village! These are the children who need help."

When Hatake Kakashi saw Shikamaru and Choji, his eyebrows twitched slightly because of the obvious family traces on them. When he saw Naruto, he paused, and finally his eyebrows fell on me.

I was sitting in the innermost seat. I had just put down my chopsticks and swallowed the last mouthful of noodles before I turned to look at him.

When he saw my face, he was visibly stunned.

"…Lin?"
