Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Every day before dawn, Naruto would get up and go outside to train. While training, Naruto would also hunt, and every night he would carry his prey home...

Naruto wears the same clothes all year round and never washes them because water is very scarce and cannot be used to wash clothes, and even if he did wash them, they would get dirty again immediately.

Naruto's clothes were always dirty and covered in patches.

By the way, there's only one shop in the entire Hidden Leaf Village that's willing to accept Naruto, and that's Ichiraku Ramen.

However, considering public opinion, the owner, Handa, didn't dare to openly serve Naruto. He could only make a bowl of ramen and leave it on the table after closing time, with a back door open...

Naruto's greatest luxury is to go to Ichiraku Ramen and have a bowl of hot ramen after finishing his daily training and hunting!

Late that night, after Naruto finished his ramen, he found a note under the table.

The owner personally typed out the message: "I'm sorry, Naruto... This is the last bowl. It seems that the fact that I treated you privately has been leaked. My daughter has been threatened."

Naruto was taken aback, his expression turning somber.

But then he placed the money for the ramen on the table, clasped his hands together, and solemnly bowed to the kitchen door: "Thank you, Uncle, I will never forget your kindness!"

Whoosh! Naruto left... and never came back.

"Sigh..." After a long while, Shou Da sighed, tidied up the kitchen, packed his bags, and left with his young daughter.

It is said that Ichiraku Ramen disappeared from Konoha after that... while a shop with the same name appeared in the Feathered Emperor Castle of the Hidden Ninja Country.

Naruto, dressed in dirty clothes, walked alone on the streets of Konoha.

The streetlights were dim, casting lonely shadows.

Only when it's late at night and everyone is quiet can he take a walk on the street like this; otherwise, he'll be met with insults and verbal abuse.

"Little Nine-Tailed Fox..."

"Why aren't you dead yet?!"

"Child of the Devil, don't breathe the same air as us, you'll get dirty!"

The shop owner would sprinkle salt at the door, and adults with children would tell their kids never to have anything to do with that child...

Initially, those who ostracized the family were mostly people who had lost family members or suffered property losses in the attacks, and they blamed everything on Watergate's negligence...

Although it is extreme, it is understandable, but humans are creatures that can be influenced by the atmosphere.

In such an environment rife with exclusion, if others do not join in the exclusion, they will immediately become the target of criticism, so they also join in the exclusion.

Over time, even ignorant children who have no right or reason to hate will start to curse and mock!

Adults do it that way, so isn't it only natural for children to listen to adults?

Many people do nothing but guard the road that Minato's family always takes. When Minato's family appears, they attack them and yell at them to get out of Konoha. If they don't appear, they feel disappointed!

Actually... whether Minato neglected his duties or not is completely unimportant. What they need is someone to vent their dissatisfaction with life on!

Life's misfortunes are all Minato's fault!

Business was bad, and I lost money in trading. It was all because Naruto, the devil's son, happened to be passing by!

Illness and misfortune are caused by breathing the same air as the devil!

In the alley, a drunk man is harassing a girl!

"Little sister, it's so late and you're still not home. Did you have a fight with your family? Do you want me to have a heart-to-heart talk with you?" the drunk man said, staring lecherously at the girl's chest and starting to grope her.

"Let me go!" the girl struggled in disgust.

"Stop struggling, I'm a low-ranking ninja in this village... If you don't obey, I'll kill your whole family!" The drunkard pulled out a kunai and pressed it against the girl's waist.

The girl was terrified, trembling all over, and dared not move.

"That's right..." The drunkard was pleased with himself and was about to use his kunai to cut the woman's shoulder strap.

"Stop! Do you even deserve to be a Konoha ninja?" Naruto shouted righteously from the alley entrance.

"Huh?" The drunkard looked up, his brows furrowing. "It's you! Naruto Uzumaki, that devil's son!"

Naruto said sternly, "Whether I am the son of a demon or not is not important. Your actions have violated the laws of Konoha. Ordinary ninjas who harass civilians will be stripped of their ninja qualifications and imprisoned!"

"Tch!" The drunkard, his eyes gleaming with suppressed anger, finally released the woman.

"If it weren't for your demonic family polluting the feng shui, I would have become a Chunin long ago! Die already, you little Nine-Tails!" The man left these words, spat on the ground, and then swaggered away into the alley.

"Are you alright?" Naruto asked the still-shaken woman as he approached her.

"Get away from me! If it weren't for you, my father wouldn't be an alcoholic, and my mother wouldn't be fooling around with men. It's you, it's all your fault, you devilish son!" The woman glared at Naruto and ran away.

Naruto stood under the streetlight, looking lost and forlorn.

"Naruto, Naruto?" A familiar female voice rang out.

Naruto turned his head and looked over, surprised, "Sakura?"

Chapter 393 Devil on Earth!

It's no secret that Naruto Uzumaki, Neji Hyuga, and Sakura Haruno were originally a three-person team.

Since Hanabi was also kidnapped, Hiashi has been in a slump. Hizashi was forced to act as the head of the main family, and Neji became the successor of the Hyuga clan. With such a noble status, no one dared to bring up his resume!

Sakura Haruno is different. She is not from a prestigious family, and her parents died in a disaster, leaving her with no one to rely on...

Sakura's past as Naruto's teammate also caused her a lot of trouble.

It wasn't until half a year ago, when Sakura Haruno became Tsunade's personal disciple, that the controversy gradually subsided!

During this period, Sakura and Naruto had almost no interaction. Whenever they met, Sakura would deliberately avoid them.

Naruto was sad, but he understood Sakura's situation, because getting involved with her wouldn't end well...

"I'm going home now, Sakura..." Naruto tactfully turned around.

"Wait a minute, Naruto!" Sakura called out to Naruto from behind.

Naruto stopped in his tracks... his heart was far from calm!

Sakura said, "I have something to tell you..."

The two walked to a quiet place. Sakura looked around cautiously, afraid of being seen or heard by someone.

Naruto said, "Sakura, there's no one around here, just say what you have to say."

Sakura said, "Naruto... your relationship with the Shadow, no, the Feather Emperor, is quite good, isn't it?"

The establishment of the Shadow Ninja Kingdom has caused a huge sensation in the ninja world, but no ninja village dares to follow suit because they do not have the strength, resources, or technology.

Naruto laughed and said, "Ah, speaking of which, it's been over a year since I last saw Uncle Yu! I was really shocked when I heard he established a country!"

Sakura didn't delve into the matter of the Ninja Kingdom with Naruto. Instead, she eagerly asked, "Naruto, if you ever have the chance to meet the Shadows, could you... take me with you?"

Naruto paused, then his expression turned serious: "Sakura, you wouldn't be thinking of betraying Konoha and joining the Ninja Kingdom, would you?"

Sakura's expression changed instantly: "Naruto, in your eyes, do I, Sakura Haruno, look like someone with such an indecisive stance?"

She was immediately furious and turned to leave.

Naruto quickly grabbed Sakura's arm and said, "I'm sorry, Sakura, I misunderstood you! Don't be angry!"

Sakura broke free from Naruto's hand, turned around, and wiped her arm.

Naruto said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sakura, my hands were all dirty. I forgot you're a clean person..."

Sakura said, "It's okay, just be more careful next time."

Naruto asked, "Then why did you go to the Shadow Ninja Country?"

Sakura blushed slightly: "I... I haven't seen Sasuke-kun in a long time. I want to see how he's doing. Would you be willing to do me this favor, Naruto...?"

A hint of disappointment flashed deep in Naruto's azure eyes, but he quickly laughed heartily, "Sasuke? I'd love to see that guy too! Okay, I'll take you with me!"

"Really? It's a deal then! You have to call me!" Sakura was overjoyed. Before leaving, she said, "Naruto... actually, I've already heard the whole story from Lady Tsunade. Your father wasn't a deserter. I've misunderstood him all along. I'm sorry..."

"Ah, it's okay, that's all in the past." Naruto scratched the back of his head.

Sakura clasped her hands to her chest and said pitifully, "But, that's just how things are now, and no one can change it... I'm just an ordinary girl who wants to live a peaceful life, that's all. So, from now on, I'll still have to pretend that I don't know you. Will you blame me, Naruto?"

Naruto said, "No way, we're friends..."

Sakura said emotionally, "Thank you, Naruto. You are such a good person. When I become Hokage, I will find a way to improve your family's life!"

Naruto exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, so your goal is also to become Hokage!"

"Also?" Sakura frowned. "Naruto...you're not still clinging to unrealistic fantasies, are you? I'm not trying to discourage you, but I'm just trying to give you a friendly reminder. You should give up those unrealistic ideas and think carefully about how to survive as a genin in Konoha! Give up on that unattainable dream of becoming Hokage. This is for your own good!"

Naruto asked, "What's going on? Why are you suddenly saying this?"

Sakura said, "I just received news not long ago that you have been permanently disqualified from being promoted to Chunin. You will forever remain a Genin. To become Hokage, you need to become a Jonin first. In other words, you will never be able to become Hokage, even if you are strong enough. You are destined to never have the chance to become Hokage!"

At the foot of the garbage mountain, in a shabby house, lies Shuimen's home.

Kakashi brought Minato a bag of rice and the news that Naruto would forever remain a genin.

Minato, his beard unkempt, sat by the candlelight and said wistfully, "Is that so? Naruto will only ever be a genin for his entire life..."

Kakashi said apologetically, "I'm sorry, teacher. I've tried my best, but the village advisors and most of the Jonin don't want Naruto to continue advancing as a ninja. Even as the Hokage, I have no choice but to follow their wishes..."

Minato said, "It's alright. Ninja rankings don't determine the future. Naruto, that kid will definitely make it!"

"Speaking of teacher, and his wife, she..."

"I've been feeling particularly sleepy lately. The little one in my belly seems to be quite unusual. My due date is probably next month."

"I understand. Konoha will make the arrangements. Please get some rest..." *Boom!* Kakashi vanished into white smoke—a shadow clone.

Creak! The bedroom door opened, and Kushina emerged, her belly bulging: "Minato, Naruto..."

It turns out that she had overheard Kakashi and Minato's conversation.

Minato sighed, "Ah, how should I tell him this news? Because to become Hokage, first of all, one must reach the Jonin rank..."

Snap!

Suddenly... the glass shattered, and a brick flew in from outside, smashing onto the table and overturning the candlestick!

"Who!" Minato suddenly stood up, and several dark figures ran away without looking back!

"A child?" Minato frowned.

Because the other party wasn't even a ninja, just a mischievous kid playing pranks!
