I sell sweets in Konoha

But Naruto was lucky.

As the protagonist of the story, his greatest luck may not be the cheating, but that he always has kind people to guide him to the right path at critical moments.

Just like this time.

When the inner darkness is activated.

It was like the hatred and resentment that had been accumulated for who knows how many years and how deep he was rushed into his mind.

Some were brought to Naruto by the villagers, and many belonged to the Kyuubi.

Naruto, who had never faced so much malice, was directly overwhelmed by the malice like a mountain torrent!

You can only go with the flow of these malicious intentions.

Totally don't know what to do.

Just at this time.

Sudden.

A hand was stretched out towards him.

Who is he?

do not know.

Naruto, who was stirred by those malicious intentions, couldn't clearly see the person coming. He could only barely feel that it seemed to be a man.A man with hair like his own.

He suddenly thrust a hand into the torrent of malice.

Pulled Naruto out of this quagmire of malice.

"who is it?"

Naruto has not yet completely regained consciousness, but after being pulled out of the quagmire, he finally did not become groggy and unable to think about anything like before.

And the appearance of the man in front of him gradually became clearer.

A head of golden hair, a gentle and kind smile.

It looks like a little sun.

It's a bit heart-warming.

like...

Like where have you seen it before?

he...

He seemed to be telling me something.

he...

Who is he?

Why so familiar?

he is...

he...

"I remembered!" Naruto suddenly woke up and said, "I remember you are the Fourth Hokage in the stone face?!"

"The Fourth Hokage..."

The man was made to laugh a little by Naruto's words. The corners of his mouth twitched and he said, "It's not wrong if you say that. I am indeed the Fourth Hokage."

"Namikaze Minato."

"Eh?! It's really true!" Naruto pinched his chin.

Before he realized anything was wrong, he carefully observed the man in front of him and said, "It really looks exactly like the man on the stone statue."

"Hmm...but I remember that the Fourth Hokage didn't seem to have died in the battle?"

Naruto crossed his arms and said, "It seems..."

"Well...died in battle..."

"Hey!!!!" Naruto was suddenly shocked, his face suddenly turned gray and he said, "Could it be that... could it be that I'm already dead?"

"Impossible! Impossible! How is it possible?"

"I actually did!"

"Naruto! Naruto!" Minato was a little helpless.

He didn't expect that his son would be so excited. Why did he suddenly feel like he was dead?

"Calm down Naruto." Minato pressed Naruto's shoulders and said, "You are not dead yet."

"This is not the world after death either."

"This is your inner world."

"The world deep in the soul."

"Huh?" Although Naruto didn't understand what the inner world, the world deep in the soul, was, he could at least understand what the Fourth Hokage said that he was not dead yet.

"Fortunately, fortunately..." Naruto comforted himself by saying, "I would have died here because of such a trivial matter."

"Then I really let Junko-san down, and Junko-san is so powerful."

"How could you let me die here?"

"Are you talking about the Fifth Hokage?" Minato heard another familiar name say: "It seems like Naruto and the Fifth Hokage get along well."

"If you can, maybe you need to take me to say thank you to the Fifth Hokage."

"Oh..." Naruto crossed his arms and said, still feeling a little strange: "Then again, if this is what's in my heart."

"Well, the world deep in the soul."

"Then why is the Fourth Hokage here?"

Naruto's question immediately made the Fourth Hokage very embarrassed.

He opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer.

"This question..." Minato was a little embarrassed, and said with some expectation and apology: "It should be said that I need to introduce myself again and formally."

"My name is Minato Namikaze, and I am the Fourth Hokage."

Yeah, Naruto nodded, he still didn't seem to realize what Minato wanted to say.

"Well, by the way, Naruto, do you know your mother's name?" Minato suddenly changed his attitude and asked.

"Mom?" Naruto curled his lips and seemed to be a little more resentful and said, "How do I know this? Who knows where these two irresponsible people went after giving birth to me."

"I never knew their names."

Naruto was very angry when he said it, and he couldn't be coaxed even if he was very angry.

But besides being angry, his voice also contained a lot of expectation, longing and loneliness.

Mom, dad...

These are probably the two most common words and the easiest to learn as a child.

mom, dad.

These two words represent not only two people, but also a family relationship and a true home.

Even though he said he was angry.

But for Naruto, he really didn't want to know what happened to his parents all the time and why they abandoned him.Why is there no news?

If one day, one day they will stand in front of me...

"Are you really not curious?" Minato knew what Naruto was thinking, but he didn't rush to say it.

He asked tentatively: "If your father was standing in front of me, what would you do?"

"Beat him first and then talk about it." Naruto clenched his fists and said viciously: "This guy has no idea how I got here all these years."

"Damn it, even if he disappears, at least let me know his name!"

"That bastard!"

"Hahaha~" Minato smiled awkwardly and said, "Maybe he has his own reasons for leaving."

"What reason?" Naruto asked.

"No, wait a moment." Naruto suddenly felt that this conversation was a bit strange.

"Uncle the Fourth Hokage." Naruto said angrily: "Why are you suddenly saying this? Do you know where my nasty parents have gone?"

"By the way, as you asked just now, do you really know what my mother's name is?"

"What is your relationship with my mother?!"

"It's a long story." Minato smiled and said, "How should I address this question? Your mother's name is Uzumaki Kushina. She is a very powerful woman with fiery red hair."

"What about you, uncle?" Naruto didn't seem to have any reaction, he asked with his hands folded across his chest.

"What is your relationship with my mother?"

"Me~" Minato touched his head and said with a silly smile, "Actually, your mother, Kushina Uzumaki, is my wife."

"but me."

"Naruto."

Minato said word for word: "I am your father."

"Naruto."

Chapter 222 Sorry, Naruto

I am your father.

Naruto stood there dumbly as if he had been struck by lightning. He stared at the man with the same hair as himself in front of him with wide eyes and could not speak for a long time.

Father...

"You..." Naruto said a little incoherently: "My father..."

"Yes." Minato finally couldn't maintain his smile.

"That's me," he said apologetically.

"Naruto."

"asshole!"

Naruto suddenly seemed to explode. He raised his fist and hit Minato in the face.

"This joke is not funny at all, even if you are the Fourth Hokage."

"I won't let you off lightly either!"

Minato didn't hide, he took Naruto's punch firmly.

Then...

He was hugged by Naruto.

Hate is real.

Abandoned since birth, never seen them, it is impossible not to have a little bit of resentment in my heart!Without parents, what is missing is not just parental love.

And the protection of parents.

Almost no one would stand up for him when he was being bullied casually.

Except Junko-san.

Love is also true love. I long for the love from my parents all the time.

This punch was really, really hateful.

This hug is also a real hug. All the things that I couldn't let go of before are finally let go at this moment.I don't want to pursue anything, at least at this moment.

Naruto finally understood.
