Chapter 20 Friends of Konoha
E looked at Naruto in front of him who was still devouring it. Sure enough, he was still eating Ichiraku Ramen. After finishing the last sip of soup, Naruto raised the bowl and said loudly, "One more bowl!"
The boss also generously added a bowl. Echu looked at Naruto with his head tilted, and when he saw him asking for another bowl, he shook his head helplessly and chuckled. Fortunately, he got a lot of money from Orochimaru, otherwise he would have I can't afford to let him waste his family like this. .biqugev
Suddenly, a bowl of ramen was placed in front of her. The full bowl looked delicious. She looked at the boss in surprise, but she didn't order ramen!
"Hey, this is for you. I haven't seen you for a long time. Welcome back!" The owner of Yile said generously.
Naruto also grinned, "E, welcome back!"
Hui looked at the two of them blankly, sighed softly, but could no longer hold back the smile on his lips, "I'm also very happy to be back."
Everyone laughed when they heard her words. It is always a joy to meet again after a long absence.
Eya happily picked up the chopsticks and ate the Ichiraku Ramen, feeling warm from his stomach to his heart.
It was no longer the time for her to stay at Orochimaru's place. She could be so relaxed and comfortable, without the need to be frightened or feel guilty.
By the time the two of them came out after eating, it was starting to get dark. Looking at the familiar street scene, E felt inexplicably at ease. The sense of belonging belonged to Konoha after all. Although these people still didn't treat Naruto and herself well, she always missed this kind of thing in her heart. A life of ease and no killing.
"Naruto, let's go to the snack street, I'll treat you." E looked at Naruto with raised eyebrows and said with a chuckle.
"Oh!" Naruto accepted the proposal without hesitation and ran over following Ei's footsteps.
But when he arrived in front of E, he found something covering his face, and then only the part in front of his eyes could be seen. He wanted to take away this thing that blocked his sight out of habit, but he heard E say, "Put it on, let's go."
Naruto looked at E in confusion. He didn't know why she suddenly took out this mask, but he saw that E had a child-like mask on her face. The funny mask was not cute at all. He wanted to laugh inexplicably. He pointed at E The mask laughed, "Haha, Hui, your mask is so childish!"
"Huh? Really?" Emo glanced at Naruto's even stupider mask and snickered.
"Let's go!" E ignored Naruto and turned towards the night market.
"Hey, wait for me!" Naruto hurriedly chased after him, but was hit by a stone under his feet. The pain of being restricted in his field of vision immediately became apparent. He adjusted his mask angrily, wanting to take it off but not daring to do so.
E turned around and looked at Naruto who was angry with the stone, and smiled helplessly, "No, let's take you away!" As he said that, he stretched out his hand to Naruto, and Naruto looked up at E in surprise.
Wow, I have never seen such a considerate painting! However, he didn't hesitate and reached out his hand to hold Hui.
E tilted her head and smiled, leading Naruto towards the night market. Many times in the past, this mask was a prop for her to operate in the dark night, hiding behind others and walking alone, just to complete Orochimaru's mission. I never thought I could share it with others now. In fact, it was right for her to come back, wasn't it?
Not long after E and Naruto left, a man wearing a fox mask completely disappeared from the darkness, and when he reappeared, he was in the third generation's office.
"Third generation sir, everything in Hui Youling is still the same as before, and nothing unusual has been found yet." Du Su said respectfully.
Sandai raised his head and looked at him, "The surveillance during this period will trouble you again."
"Yes, Third Generation-sama, I will pay attention to the people she comes in contact with."
"Okay, you go back first!"
The next moment after Sandai finished speaking, Dusu also disappeared from the place. He frowned and glanced at the scroll in his hand. Orochimaru's recent activities became more and more suspicious.
However, no clear information has been obtained yet, and now Hui is back, which inevitably makes people suspicious, but Hui Youling's return is indeed what he hopes.
……
"No, I just want to eat the baked meatballs here!" came the immature child's voice, the tone was obviously angry, but it was inexplicably familiar.
"Let's buy it again next time, okay? Mom will be angry if we don't go back." A gentle man coaxed softly.
Hui turned around and looked at the father and son behind him. With their chubby bodies, obvious baby fat, and red circles on their faces, the two of them seemed to be carved from the same mold.
E chuckled helplessly and looked back at Naruto. He had already worn the mask at an angle, holding two skewers of meatballs in his hand and happily eating one in his hand, with a coveted expression full of happiness.
E shrugged helplessly and took another bunch of meatballs from Naruto's hand. Naruto, who was eating happily, was about to take a bite when he found that the meatballs were gone. He looked at Ei leaving with the meatballs with a confused look on his face and swallowed. .
E handed the meatball to Choji, "No, I'll give this to you."
In the next moment, the meatball was snatched away, leaving only a bamboo stick in Choji's hand. Ei opened her mouth in surprise, and finally laughed silently.
Seeing his son like this, Ding Zuo felt so embarrassed and quickly said, "Thank you, I'll buy you another one..."
"It's okay, uncle. It was originally given to him. I just wanted to make friends with him." Ei said softly, turning around and calling Naruto.
Ding Zuo looked at the child in front of him, inexplicably making him feel very sensible and gentle. He glanced at his child silently, but Ding Zai looked at E with a silly smile on his face, and heard him say, "Well, my name is Akimichi Dingji. it's happy to meet you!"
"My name is E You Ling, and this idiot is Uzumaki Naruto." E pointed at Naruto, who looked confused, and watched him explode again.
"I'm not an idiot, I want to be... wu... wu..."
E hugged Naruto and raised her hand to cover his mouth.
Naruto looked at E with an aggrieved look on her face, who looked kind but actually smiled. He didn't dare to speak anymore and struggled slightly to get rid of the hand on his shoulder.
"Okay, since you have something to do, I won't bother you. See you next time!"
Seeing that Naruto stopped speaking, Emi released her cover of Naruto's mouth, and the surrounding eyes were slowly attracted. She didn't want Naruto's roar to attract too many people's attention, and their eyes didn't look at him at all. Be kind.
Eya realized that it was not easy to stay here for too long, so he pulled Naruto and Choji to say goodbye.
Dingci also waved, looked at the two people leaving with their arms around their shoulders, looked back at his father, and reached out to hold Dingzuo's big hand, "Dad, let's go back too."
Ding Zuo was stunned for a moment, held Ding Ci's hand, and smiled lightly, "Let's go."
Naruto, who was dragged away by E on the other side, said angrily, "What's wrong? Why are you leaving?"
E shrugged and let go of Naruto, "It's time to go back."
Naruto looked at E and frowned slightly, feeling that she had changed a bit, but she was still as good to him as before, and finally said "Okay."
……
E did not practice ninjutsu anymore, as if he had never learned anything. Instead, he picked up the thick book that Qingsi had given to him before. This book recorded his "lifelong effort".
Hui looked at the book that she had faked as a children's book and laughed silently. She wondered if Qingsi would beat her to death if she saw it.
However, according to the normal development, Duzhu must be monitored all around. If it is too abnormal, he will be discovered to be different. It is like a child, learning silently, but she can no longer touch Orochimaru's ninjutsu.
Hui Youling didn't leave the house for several days in a row. She was studying Qingsei's book on medical ninjutsu. Naruto was kicked out by her to practice. Idiot, he should practice his physical strength first.
I heard that not long after she left, Xiao Li became more diligent in practicing, and the amount of practice increased exponentially. I don't know if it was the influence of the ninja school, but Naruto couldn't keep up with him at first, and finally became lazy. No matter what Xiao Li said, he couldn't keep up with him. She practiced seriously and went to plant the flowers in her old house one day.
Knowing these things, Naruto was angry and moved. In fact, Naruto was still very lonely. Even if they met in advance, wouldn't they be able to really get along without experiencing those things in the future? After all, it felt to him that these people were her friends, not his.
It seems that it will be time for Naruto to go to ninja school soon. If she is with him, he will not be so lonely, but how much can she do for him? He has not yet finished solving his own mess. …
