Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

The ragged girl knelt on the ground, holding a broken bowl in her hands, her eyes filled with pleading.

"cut!"

"What bad luck!"

boom--

"what!"

The girl not only failed to beg for food, but also...

He was even kicked away.

His already frail body was struck hard, leaving him lying helplessly on the ground.

The pain in my body and the hunger pangs in my stomach.

She could only curl up her small body.

I want to cry, but I don't dare to.

She didn't even dare to rest for a moment and quickly stood up.

Without even shoes, she took her first steps without hesitation.

It hurts to step on the cold ground.

"Mom...wait for me!"

Please!

The girl was exhausted, but at the last moment, she managed to grab the woman who had just pushed her down.

Two small hands gripped the woman's skirt, but the woman did not stop, dragging the girl forward.

However, the woman eventually stopped.

He turned back, his eyes filled with disgust and regret.

"You're completely useless!"

"If you're useless, you're someone no one needs!"

The woman left.

The girl stood frozen in place, tears welling in her eyes, but she dared not let them fall.

I'm afraid of being disliked again.

......

"Violet!"

"You dare betray..."

"Please, let me be alone," Violet said without turning her head.

Baby5 paused for a moment, then her pretty face visibly heated up.

"I feel needed!"

Violet walked around the street corner, her beautiful eyes darting around.

"We're not here yet?"

"Forget it, let's just wait here. The palace isn't far from here."

Violet found a place to sit down.

Baby5 is still happily in the same place.

"Hey, you're blocking my way!"

A light, melodious voice rang out.

"Feel sorry."

This is the Don Quixote family's maid and assassin.

They just moved aside like that.

Perona swung her toes.

Looking at Naruto beneath him, he said, "Lord Naruto, the royal palace is just ahead."

Why don't we just go directly there?

Naruto looked up at the towering palace and said:

"If you go directly to them, they'll run away."

"We've been exposed."

"Someone will come to test us, even though Doflamingo has given the order... Doflamingo hasn't returned yet, we should go see Caesar."

Perona tilted her head. "So what do we do now?"

"Encircle and attack reinforcements."

Naruto's lips curled slightly.

At this moment, baby5, who was behind them, heard the conversation between the two and was stunned for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Naruto's silhouette was reflected in her beautiful eyes.

"Naruto Uzumaki!"

The Weapon Fruit ability is activated.

Baby5's right hand transforms into a cleaver, and his left hand into a flintlock pistol.

"Don't move! What are you doing here?!"

clatter--

Perona snapped her fingers.

A clever ghost, resembling a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll-shaped object), passed through Baby5's body.

However, to Perona's surprise, Baby 5 was not affected much.

She made a startled expression.

"What did you do?"

Why do I feel so uncomfortable?

Upon hearing this, Perona looked over and saw that Baby 5's goggles, which had been transformed from her Weapon Fruit ability, were now wet with tears.

"You...you're so strange."

Naruto turned around as well.

Looking at this woman, who was abandoned by her biological mother in childhood and has been affected by the trauma of her childhood ever since.

"An existence that cannot refuse anyone's request."

Even when deceived and burdened with debt, they still yearn to be useful and to be needed.

Upon hearing this, Baby5 took off her goggles, blinked, and looked at Naruto curiously, wondering why he knew these things.

Perona also stared wide-eyed, somewhat incredulous.

To be fair, Doflamingo is very kind to his own people.

Moreover, this Doflamingo is different from the others.

Regardless of the circumstances, at least publicly, Doflamingo is to be publicly executed.

"Is that really true?" Perona became slightly interested.

Plus, with Baby 5 dressed as a maid, Perona had a natural affinity for her.

Naruto nodded slightly.

"Baby5's existence in the Don Quixote family is very special."

"Aside from Doflamingo, who also had a tragic childhood and treated her like a younger sister."

"Most other people see her as someone to borrow money or as a useful tool."

"Baby5 is aware of this, but she just can't resist the feeling of being needed."

"She is firmly imprisoned by her childhood experiences."

The cigarette in baby5's mouth fell to the ground.

She panicked slightly, "I...I'm not like that!"

Perona's lips curled slightly. "I'll give it a try."

"Hey, baby5!"

"Can I beg you to die?"

hum-

baby5 paused for a moment.

My body trembled uncontrollably, and a strange feeling rose in my heart.

I couldn't refuse... At least, I was needed.

baby5 raises her left hand.

The muzzle of the musket was pointed at his temple.

A slight smile curved her red lips, and a blush rose to her pretty face.

"Understood~"

Perona was stunned.

The woman, who was about to commit suicide, was actually smiling so happily.

"I'd be happy to die."

"If this will be helpful to you."

I... am needed now.

baby5 slowly closed her eyes.

"Don't move! You idiot!"

Perona gasped in surprise.

With a slight twitch of his finger, Baby5 pulled the trigger.

boom--! ! !

The musket that appeared in her left hand roared to life.

Perona burst into tears.

She never imagined that this woman could commit suicide with just one specific sentence.

However, to Perona's relief, the musket bullet did not hit baby5's head.

"There's no need for that."

Naruto stepped forward.

Perona quickly jumped down and ran over to help baby 5, who thought she was dead.

"Have you been living with this kind of thinking all along?"

Why didn't your companions refute your ideas?!

Perona was a little angry.

Baby5 opened her eyes, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She looked at Naruto with some fear.

Looks fierce...

Naruto shook his head, his expression softening.

"Telling you directly won't work, so let time smooth things over."

"baby5".

"Yes." Baby5 hesitated for a moment, but still answered.

"I need you."

hum-

Baby5's heart rate increased.

I was indeed needed.

"What do you want me to do?"

Baby5 said with a face full of anticipation and longing.

Perona panicked.

Naruto waved his hand to stop Perona.

"I need you, and I need nothing else."

baby5 frowned, unable to understand the meaning of the sentence.

Naruto crouched down and gently touched her little head.

"Please, from now on, listen to only me, okay?"

Baby5 looked at Naruto and noticed a gentle smile on his lips, and his eyes weren't as fierce as before.

I'm needed now~

She blushed and nodded gently.

"very good."

"So, my first order..."

Baby5 opened her eyes slightly and listened carefully.

"You can only be needed by me."

"From this day forward, no matter who begs you, pleads with you, or needs you, you must not listen to or accept their request, regardless of their identity."

"Because I need you... I need you to do these things."

baby5 blinked.

"Old... I understand what you mean."

"Would this... make you happy?"

"Will they really need me?"

Naruto nodded slightly. "That's right, I need you very much. No one in this world needs you more than I do. So, can you help me?"

"Okay!"

Baby5 excitedly stood up and rushed into Naruto's arms.

"So, we'll be getting married soon?"

Well...

Well, Baby5's unique situation led her to encounter many scumbags.

Of course, Doflamingo protected her very well.

People have been following baby5, and this situation is likely to occur.

Doflamingo would simply wipe out the enemy, along with the entire town.

"Baby5, I need you. Please, can you help me up?"

Perona understood and prepared to conduct an experiment.

baby5 was stunned.

But all I could think about were Naruto's words.

It's just the feeling of being needed.

Just when Baby5 was somewhat undecided...

A large hand gently pressed down on her back.

Baby5 felt the warmth coming from the baby and gently closed her eyes.

Reject her.

"Hmm~"

"Sorry, I'm needed by others, not needed by anyone else, only needed by him~"

Seeing this, Naruto finally released his grip.

Perona again pleaded with baby5 with longing and yearning.

Baby5 couldn't stand it, so she simply kept staring at Naruto.

Finally, Perona stood up on her own.

"Naruto-sama is amazing."

Naruto waved his hand and said, "You're not suitable to be here right now."

"I'll take you to my mother's."

Then, Naruto spoke inside the sealed space.

Nine-Tailed Fox rolled his eyes. "Okay, I know!"

Just then.

A rough voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Rao G transforms into a strong body.

"I knew you'd be here."

"I didn't expect you guys to know how to use Baby5."

Rao G. crossed his arms and shouted sharply.

"Baby 5 is ours."

"I'd give up my life if someone needed me."

"Where can you find a woman this convenient?!"

Perona was furious.

However, the next second, Rao G suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Conqueror's Haki.

Naruto glanced at Rao G indifferently.

Then he clenched his fist.

"Conqueror's Haki, is it?"

"It came faster than I expected."

Then, turning to look at baby5, I noticed that she only slightly raised the corners of her mouth, without the excited and happy look she had before when she heard that she was needed.

"Naruto-sama needs this the most, so ignore the others."

"But I'm so happy to be needed by so many people~"

She couldn't help but step forward and hug Naruto.

"Naruto-sama, I'm so happy~"

At that moment, a portal to Yomotsu Hirasaka appeared.

A strand of red hair floated out first, followed by Kushina pouting and blinking her big eyes.

A look of joy appeared on her little face at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Hmm? They're all dressed as maids?

"Naruto, which of these two... was Kurama speaking about?"
