His third birthday had just passed.
Naruto Uzumaki was finally allowed to leave the house after completing his literacy training according to his grandfather's request.
Naruto had enough of being alone. With the strong desire to find friends to play with, he rushed out of the house excitedly.
On the street, whether it was the pedestrians or the shops, everything was new to Naruto.
"Is that the little demon that the Nine Tails Fox Demon transformed into?"
"The Nine Tails Fox Demon eats humans, right? I remember that he was the one who killed the fourth generation master. "
"Why would the third generation master let him stay in the village? It's too dangerous. We will be killed by him sooner or later."
"God of Plagues."
However, as Naruto walked past, whispers could be heard behind him. At the same time, there were also looks of disgust.
Although Naruto was still young, he could clearly feel the strong malice in the eyes of the adults around him.
Moreover, this was not an isolated phenomenon. Naruto realized that almost everyone was looking at him with hostility.
He went to look for friends who would often appear around his house to play, but they rejected him without hesitation. Their parents did not allow them to interact with Naruto.
Occasionally, there would be young and ignorant children who did not know this and were quickly pulled away by their parents to educate them.
Soon, these children began to look at Naruto with disgust.
Even when he wanted to buy some daily necessities with the pocket money that his grandfather gave him, he was rejected without hesitation. Then, he was chased out of the shop.
The young Naruto did not understand why they were so against him.
He did not do anything wrong.
Perhaps, there was a misunderstanding?
Since there was a misunderstanding, it would be better to clear it up.
On the street, facing the hostile looks of the adults, Naruto opened his mouth and refuted loudly with all his might, "I am not the Fox Demon, I am Naruto Uzumaki! I will not eat humans! "
Naruto felt that as long as he explained it seriously, he could improve this situation.
However …
It was a futile effort.
Day after day passed, and Naruto did not change anything. People still looked at him with anger and disgust, and it was getting stronger.
On a new day, after eating instant noodles, Naruto went to the street again. He wanted to explain to the people again.
However, he didn't know where the eggs and leaves came from, but he didn't know where they came from.
Facing the overwhelming attack, Naruto could not dodge it. In an instant, he was drowned and his body became dirty.
Someone in the crowd threw a stone and it hit Naruto's head. His head hurt and a big bump on his forehead.
"Kill this Nine Tails brat!"
"Take revenge for everyone! Take revenge for the fourth generation head!"
"How can such a kid be qualified to live in Konoha?"
Someone shouted with red eyes, rushing towards Naruto with a weapon in hand, with cold killing intent.
Naruto looked at the distorted faces that were approaching him. Fear appeared in his eyes. At the same time, he felt a little suffocated. Tears fell from the corner of his eyes. He shouted: "I am not a demon fox, I am Naruto Uzumaki!"
However, no one listened to Naruto's explanation.
A long stick, with a whooshing sound, came smashing towards his head and face.
Naruto was scared and closed his eyes.
However, the expected pain did not come. Two ninjas with masks stood in front of Naruto. One of them blocked the crowd and the other hugged Naruto.
"I will take Naruto back first. You stop them."
...
It was almost evening.
The Third Hokage of the Wood Leaf Hidden Village, Flying Ape, opened the door of Naruto's house.
Walking into the living room, he saw Naruto sitting at the table in a daze. He looked depressed. It was obvious that he was thinking about what happened during the day.
At this moment, Naruto took a shower and changed his clothes, but the big bump on his forehead that hasn't melted yet clearly showed that what happened today wasn't an illusion.
"Naruto."
A soft voice sounded. Naruto looked up and saw the person who came. His eyes couldn't help but light up. It was the Third Hokage!
Since Naruto could remember, the Third Hokage would come to see Naruto once a month to care about his life and bring him the living expenses for the next month. He always had a kind smile on his face. In the eyes of Naruto, he was an amiable person.
Naruto has no family. He regarded the Third Hokage as the closest person.
Seeing him, Naruto couldn't help but ask: "Third Hokage, am I really the Nine Tails Demon Fox?"
The Flying Ape gently said: "Naruto, you are not the Demon Fox. I have ordered everyone not to talk about this matter. Today's matter will not happen again. You can go out without worry."
Naruto was not interested. Although the Flying Ape gave him a definite answer, but his heart inevitably doubted the authenticity of the words of the villagers.
Is he really not the Demon Fox?
Then why do they hate him so much?
"Naruto, don't think too much. You are you, not the Demon Fox. Eat something, have a good sleep, and tomorrow morning you will be fine. Grow up quickly, and then you can go to the Ninja School.
Then you can meet a lot of friends. No one wants to play with you if you are always so depressed. "
The Flying Ape saw the hesitation in Naruto's heart and comforted him with a warm voice.
"Okay, I'm going to eat." Naruto suddenly became happy. He opened the refrigerator and took out instant noodles and milk and began to boil water.
Since he can remember, he has been like this. Although he is still young, he has already learned to take care of himself.
Seeing this, the Flying Ape smiled and lit the pipe, then turned and left.
After Naruto finished eating, he lay down on the bed, and then it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.
Then, Naruto found that he appeared in an empty space.
At this moment, he was sitting on the ground.
In front of him, there is a book.
On the cover of this book, there are colorful illustrations.
Among the illustrations on the cover, there were some square words. Flipping through the pages, there were even more dense words than the cover.
These are Chinese characters.
These words are very similar to some of the words he has just learned, but they are not exactly the same. Naruto, who has just learned to read, was confused and didn't understand the meaning of these words.
This book seems to feel Naruto's embarrassment, and the words on it began to change.
After a while, these square words were completely replaced with the common language of the ninja world that he can understand.
At this time, Naruto finally understood the meaning of the words written on this book.
