Nagato carrying rice in Konoha

Chapter 87 Never Changed
Facing Naruto's question, Shikaku and the other three had different expressions.

Just as Naruto looked at the three jounin in front of him, the expression on his face became more and more anxious, Nagato on the side spoke. He asked Shikaku and others: "Are you ninjas of Konoha?"

Everyone present obviously did not expect that Nagato, an ordinary person, would suddenly open his mouth to interrupt.Naruto was even more stunned for a moment, looking at Nagato with a puzzled expression, as if he just thought about it, there is still such a person in the store.

"What's the matter with you?" Haiichi said politely, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Nagato's eyes, "I am the jounin of Konoha Hidden Village."

He, who was proficient in the secret arts of the mountain clan, did not see anything unusual in Nagato's eyes.

"I have some information to sell to you in the Leaf Village." Nagato said, pointing to the ramen in front of him, "But you have to pay for the noodles first."

Hai glanced at Shikaku and saw that he had no reaction. He simply paid the bill and said calmly: "Okay, now tell me your information."

He still didn't care about the price of a bowl of ramen. Although he didn't think the person in front of him could tell any useful information, he still thought it would be better to send him away early.

And he wasn't afraid of Nagato fooling him. This was Konoha. Which bold person would dare to fool a Jonin like him here?
Nagato breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up from his seat: "It was a great help. Speaking of which, my luck has always been good. Not long ago, on the way to Konoha, I saw a red-haired ninja riding a big dog. , looks murderous, and is also on his way to Konoha, he doesn't seem to be a good person, so I want to remind you."

"Red haired ninja?!"

The three Jonin present, including Naruto, suddenly turned to look at him.

"Where did you see it? What does that ninja look like? How do you know he is a ninja?" Haiyi immediately took a step forward and asked.

"In the forest not far ahead, the man was riding a big dog. You could tell he was a ninja at a glance. And to be honest, the dog was too big. So I couldn't see him clearly. It doesn’t look like that, but I can feel the murderous aura from him, so I think he’s doing it badly.”

Nagato said as he walked out, wanting to leave this small shop quickly, change his appearance, and wander around Konoha Village again.

After hearing the information from Nagato, Shikaku and the other two people all started to think seriously, and Nagato also took the opportunity to walk out of the ramen shop.At this moment, Naruto suddenly remembered something and shouted to Nagato: "Wait a minute!"

He remembered that something was wrong with this guy.

After Nagato heard Naruto's voice, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly sped up and ran away.Naruto slapped his forehead and ran after him, not even paying attention to the questioning voices of Shikaku and the others.

One ran and the other chased, but the distance did not get any closer.

Just when Naruto felt more and more that there was something wrong with the person in front of him, Nagato saw the opportunity when no ninjas were paying attention around him. Tiny electric lights flashed on his body, and his speed suddenly accelerated, and several ups and downs disappeared from Naruto's sight. .

"Damn! Let him run away!"

Naruto took a breath and glanced around again unwillingly. He didn't see Nagato, but he saw the villagers of Konoha around him. When they saw him, they stopped at the same time, with expressions of resentment on their faces.

"Fox!"

"You hateful demon fox."

"Why haven't you died yet? So many people have died, why haven't you died yet?"

······
Naruto's face suddenly turned pale, and he quickly sped up and left here, intending to stay away from these people just like when he came.

"Go to hell!"

"Die quickly, you demon fox!"

The Konoha villagers couldn't catch up with his escape speed, so they could only grab the debris on the ground and throw it at his back.

Although with the strength of these ordinary people, anything thrown could not hit Naruto at all.But every missing stone seemed to leave a scar in his heart, making his expression become more and more disappointed and painful.

Naruto discovered that as time went by, the hatred of Konoha villagers towards him not only did not get better, but intensified.

Yes, hatred, although he has not yet learned the nine-tails chakra mode at this time and cannot sense malice.

But when the Konoha villagers saw him, they showed fierce and hateful faces, which made him clearly taste the taste of hatred.

He also knew very clearly that these villagers really wanted him to die, and there was no way to deceive himself about this.

At first, he was confused and painful about this, trying to explain everything to the villagers and begging for their understanding.

He knelt on the ground and shouted to the villagers, admitting that he was indeed defeated by Pain. It was all his fault and that he failed to protect Konoha.

But he will not give up, he will continue to work hard, and he will definitely defeat Payne next time. He promises everyone with his life!

But the way the villagers looked at him did not change at all. A female villager came towards him with a child in her arms, stared at his face with resentful eyes, and asked: "In this way, my husband can Did you come back alive??”

Looking at her face full of resentment and her eyes like a murderous ghost, at that moment, Naruto felt that his heart was frozen and he was speechless on the spot.

"Why didn't you, the demon fox, die?"

"The enemy's target is you, right?"

"It's all you, it's you who led the enemy to the village!"

"The demon fox has killed so many people, and it will definitely kill all of us in the end!"

"kill him!"

Naruto knelt on the ground in a daze, looking at the Konoha villagers in front of him with ghastly and terrifying expressions, like evil spirits. Before he could recover, he was knocked to the ground.

Fists and kicks rained down on him, and many people threw stones at him, scratched him with their fingers, and even pounced on him and bit him with their teeth, desperately trying to tear him into pieces.

Naruto fell to the ground, completely unable to understand what was going on. He turned his eyes dully and saw several Konoha ninjas standing aside, watching all this indifferently.

Do you also want me to die?

Does everyone want me to die?
······
"Why is this..." Naruto's mind went blank, at this moment, he suddenly felt that it was not unacceptable to just die like this.

"Naruto!—Run!"

At this time, a girl's voice suddenly penetrated into his ears, passing through his brain like a bolt of lightning. This voice was Xiao Sakura...
Only then did he come to his senses with a pale face, struggled to shake off the crowd, and stumbled out.

When everyone was thrown away by him, only a few ANBU responsible for monitoring him were left, following him from a distance.

Naruto looked at himself in a daze, but he couldn't find Sakura. Everything in his mind, including Sakura's voice he had heard before, seemed so vague, as if everything was just an illusion.

He felt his stomach suddenly twisting into knots.

Past memories and angry faces merged in his brain, leaving him at a loss as to what to do.

Naruto stayed away from the crowd and rushed into a deserted alley. As if a stray dog ​​had finally found a dirty shelter, he knelt on the ground, opened his mouth wide, and vomited.

The ramen he had just eaten poured out of his mouth in the most ugly manner. Tears and snot flowed across his face, making him look miserable.

I... why am I crying...
You clearly promised that you would never cry again?
In the pain that felt like his heart was being torn apart, Naruto suddenly became the child who cried alone in the night deep in his memory.

Encountering the cold eyes of countless people, he stayed away from the lights of thousands of houses and stayed alone in this cold darkness, letting tears flow freely on his face.

Isn't this the young him?

Yes, that's what he looks like.

It turns out that everything...has never changed...
The so-called growth is just redundant self-righteousness...
Naruto knelt on the ground, staring at his own vomit, his eyes dull as if he had lost consciousness.

He didn't realize that the figure he had just chased had appeared behind him unknowingly.

The man's ordinary appearance had disappeared and turned into a tall and thin figure, wearing the red cloud and black robe of the Akatsuki organization, with long hair as red as blood, and he made a sound that could not be heard as mockery or emotion.

"My stupid junior brother..."

The voice was very soft, but it was like thunder when it fell on Naruto's ears.

Naruto's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he turned around as if he was electrocuted. He saw the long scarlet hair of the person coming, and his cold and ruthless Rinne eyes with a metallic cold light.
