From time to time, someone would still cast strange and weird looks at Naruto, but after their gaze shifted to Amamiya Zero, they would quickly hide the disgust in their eyes.

Although Naruto is the nine-tailed demon fox hated by everyone in the village, Amamiya Rei has a good reputation in Konoha.

Everyone knows the brutality of the Battle of Kintai River Bridge, and they also know how much Amamiya Zero has sacrificed for Konoha.

They couldn't look with disgust at a hero who saved Konoha and ended the war.

When Amamiya Zero walked into a toy store holding Naruto, the busy store owner's eyes suddenly turned into horror and disgust the moment he saw Naruto.

Despite this, he didn't dare to say something as blunt as "Get Naruto out."

He just avoided his gaze and tried to avoid too much contact with Naruto.

Amamiya Zero didn't care about these things. He was concentrating on selecting various toys suitable for children.

A short while later, he left the toy store with a bag of carefully selected toys and walked with Naruto towards the peaceful meadow beside the Konoha River.

Arriving at the river, Amemiya Rei carefully spread the picnic blanket on the soft grass, and then gently placed Naruto in the center of the picnic blanket.

Then, he randomly scattered the colorful and variously shaped toys he had prepared for Naruto around the picnic blanket.

Naruto, sitting on the picnic blanket, waved his tender little white hands excitedly, trying to grab the toy closest to him.

Amamiya Rei sat next to Naruto with a smile on his face, basking in the warm sunshine.

He looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and a feeling of emotion welled up in his heart.

Which other ghost in the world can bask in the sun as leisurely as he does?

Amamiya Zero was sitting there quietly.

Sudden.

The sound of rustling footsteps came into his ears.

The sound broke the silence around him. Amamiya Zero turned his body slightly and looked behind him.

Not far away, a small figure slowly emerged from the swaying grass.

It was a child who looked no more than seven or eight years old.

His face was covered with green grass leaves, his hair was a little messy, and his big eyes were full of panic.

When the child saw Amamiya Zero, he was stunned at first, and a look of confusion flashed across his face.

However, just a moment later, he seemed to have made up his mind and ran towards Amamiya Zero without hesitation.

Just when the child ran to about three meters in front of Amemiya Zero, many children suddenly emerged from the originally quiet grass.

These children looked about the same age as the child in front of Amamiya Zero, but the expressions on their faces were much more wild than those of the child in front of Amamiya Zero.

The savage look on the faces of these children suddenly disappeared without a trace after they saw Amamiya Zero. Tension flashed in their eyes, and the steps they had just taken suddenly stopped, and then they began to slowly retreat.

Amamiya Zero watched the scene quietly without making any move, and roughly guessed what had happened in his heart.

As the children retreated, they looked at Amamiya Zero and the little boy in front of him with vigilant eyes.

After a long while, until all the children retreated back into the grass and disappeared, the little boy in front of him breathed a sigh of relief, as if a big stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.

Amamiya Zero stared quietly at the little boy in front of him.

His eyes passed across the little boy's short silver hair and fell on a pair of black glasses on the boy's nose.

Although the little boy is young, his eyes behind the lenses sparkle with intelligence and alertness.

After looking him over, Amamiya Zero already had the answer in his mind.

Another high-quality reserve food!

Amamiya Rei was in a good mood.

This is like takeaway food delivered to his door. How can he not be in a good mood?

Amamiya Zero waved gently at the child, with a gentle smile on his face.

The child's attention was attracted by Amamiya Zero, but the deep vigilance in his eyes never disappeared.

Looking at the child like this, Amamiya Zero couldn't help but laugh softly.

He is really as vigilant as he is now grown up!

Amamiya Zero waited gently for him to approach.

The child seemed to be no match for Amamiya Zero, and he looked around cautiously.

When his eyes passed over Naruto beside Amamiya Zero, the vigilance in his eyes seemed to ease a little.

Then, as if he had made up his mind, the child took slow and cautious steps, step by step, towards Amamiya Zero.

The child took at least three minutes to walk the short distance of three meters.

He finally came in front of Amamiya Zero, like an alert kitten, slightly raised his head, and stared at Amamiya Zero intently.

It seemed as if he would jump away immediately if Amamiya Rei made any movement.

Amamiya Zero smiled slightly, then gently reached out to the child and carefully picked off a leaf that was stuck on the child's cheek.

"Oops, your face is scratched."

Amamiya Zero said softly, looking at the child in front of him with concern in his eyes.

"Be careful when playing games with your classmates!"

Amamiya Zero gently touched the child's head.

He could feel the child stiffen completely when his hand landed on the top of the child's head.

The child pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, but his big eyes were always fixed on Amamiya Rei, as if he wanted to see through Amamiya Rei's eyes to see his true nature.

Seeing this, Amamiya Zero said no more, but stretched out his hand to cover the child's injured cheek.

A light green chakra glow appeared in Amamiya Zero's palm, and the shallow scar on the child's face healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, the bloody wound disappeared without a trace, leaving only smooth and delicate skin.

The child felt the stinging pain quickly disappear, and he reached out and touched his cheek in surprise.

However, he did not feel the familiar wound on his face.

The child couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

After a long while, he came back to his senses and stammered, praising in a low voice: "Wow... so amazing!"

Amamiya Zero smiled and replied, "It's called medical ninjutsu."

After saying this, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the dirty face of the child in front of him.

"What's your name? Where are your parents?"

Chapter 140 The King of Acting’s Peak Showdown!!!

Amamiya Zero knew that he had asked a very tricky question.

He did it on purpose.

After hearing Amamiya Zero's question, the child who had been standing calmly in front of him suddenly seemed to be stimulated by something. His lips began to tremble uncontrollably. After shaking up and down several times, the child slowly lowered his head and remained silent.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the child never uttered another word.

Seeing the child like this, a trace of worry appeared on Amamiya Zero's face.

Amamiya Zero asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere else?"

As he spoke, Amamiya Zero reached out and gently placed his hand on the child's wrist, carefully feeling the beating of his pulse.

Saliva began to secrete uncontrollably from Amamiya Zero's mouth again, and he swallowed it.

There was a bright and dazzling light shining in Amamiya Rei's beautiful eyes, full of care and worry for the child in front of her.

The child in front of him was almost hurt by the look in Amamiya Rei's eyes.

Amamiya Ling once again gently said to the child in front of him: "How about this, I will personally take you home, okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he bent forward slightly and very gently tidied up the hair on the child's forehead that was messed up by the wind.

After a long while, the child who had been keeping his head down finally moved.

He slowly raised his head, and when Amamiya Zero saw his face clearly, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

The child's tender face was already covered with tears.

His eyes were red and crystal clear tears were sliding down from the corners of his eyes.

However, even so, the child still bit his lips tightly, and refused to make any crying sound.

That stubborn and strong look really makes people feel pity for him.

When Amamiya Zero saw this, he suddenly felt greedy, and his originally gentle eyes and brows became even more tender.

Amamiya Rei quickly took out the handkerchief he carried with him and carefully wiped away the tears on the child's cheeks, fearing that a little force would hurt him.

"what happened?"

Amamiya Rei is so gentle that it's unspeakable.

His tone was extremely soft and slow, as if he didn't dare to put even a hint of emphasis on the word.

"Why are you crying?"

As Amamiya Zero spoke, he carefully stretched out his hand and took the child in front of him into his arms with great pity. He gently patted the child's back, one after another, his movements soft and rhythmic, as if he was coaxing a little baby who had only turned three years old.

"I……"

The child sobbed and stopped talking after just one word.

After a long while, he spoke again with a little bit of suppression and sobbing, "I don't have a father or a mother."

This short sentence was like a heavy hammer hitting Amamiya Zero's heart.

Amamiya Rei's body trembled, and he froze in place instantly.

He "didn't" expect to hear such heartbreaking words from the child.

For a moment, thousands of words were stuck in Amamiya Zero's throat, and in the end, they turned into only one sentence full of guilt and apology: "I'm sorry, I didn't know..."

The child in her arms shook her head stubbornly, then sniffed hard, trying to stop crying, and said in a mature tone beyond her age: "It's okay, don't blame me."

Seeing the child being so strong and sensible, Amamiya Ling felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"What's your name?"

After calming down a little, Amamiya Zero continued to pat the child's back slowly and gently to comfort him, while asking softly.

The little boy was silent for a moment, as if thinking about how to answer.

Finally, he slowly raised his head, looked at Amamiya Rei with a pair of large, clear eyes, and said word by word: "My name is... Yakushi Kabuto."

The corners of Amamiya Rei's lips curled up slightly: "Yakushi Kabuto? How old is he this year?"

Yakushi Kabuto nodded very obediently and replied, "I am eight years old."

After saying that, he twisted his body gently and carefully crawled out of Amamiya Zero's warm embrace.

After standing firm, Kabuto Yakushi raised his head, his big eyes fixed on the gentle Amamiya Rei in front of him, pursed his lips slightly, and a trace of reluctance that was difficult to conceal gradually emerged in his clear eyes.

Seeing this, Amamiya Rei gently took the soft little hand of Yakushi Kabuto and asked with concern: "Did Kabuto go to school?"

Hearing this question, a faint blush instantly appeared on Yakushi Kabuto's originally fair cheeks. He lowered his head shyly, shook his head slowly, and muttered softly: "There is no money in the orphanage...so I can't go to school..."

Amemiya Zero looked at the slightly uneasy Kabuto Yakushi in front of him with heartache, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose slightly, forming a firm and caring arc.

Amamiya Rei said to Yakushi Kabuto in a gentle but unquestionable tone: "Don't worry, let me pay for your schooling from now on! How can a child not go to school?"

When Kabuto Yakushi heard this, he opened his mouth in shock, and his two round eyes stared straight at Amamiya Rei, completely unable to believe what he had just heard.

He just stood there motionless, like a sculpture, obviously stunned by this sudden and huge surprise. For a moment he didn't know how to respond.

"Or, should I adopt you?"

Amamiya Zero muttered to himself, frowning slightly and falling into deep thought.

After a long while, Amamiya Rei seemed to have finally made up his mind and slowly said, "You're old enough to go to school now. If I were to adopt you, I would personally take you to school every morning and prepare a lunch box for you. That way, you'd be able to get enough nutrition and stay healthy!"

As he spoke, Amamiya Rei gently reached out his hand and gently stroked the slightly thin palm of Yakushi Kabuto, his face full of worry, and he sighed distressedly: "Look at your little hand, it's so thin."
