The next day.
Noon.
The sun was shining brightly as Anko Mitarashi returned home from a mission.
She spotted a little kid standing in front of her house, staring blankly at the door.
Acting sneaky and suspicious, Anko raised an eyebrow.
She quickened her pace.
Intrigued, Anko suddenly appeared next to the kid.
"Hey, brat... who are you?"
"What are you doing in front of my house?"
Anko asked playfully.
"Wah! Augh!"
The kid jumped in fright at the sudden voice!
"W-w-w-who are you!"
"Why did you scare me!"
Clearly frightened, the kid's voice even trembled a little!
"Wait..."
Seeing this, Anko became even more intrigued. She feigned anger, put her hands on her hips, and said somewhat unhappily.
"You're standing in front of my house, then asking me who I am?"
"Whose kid are you?"
The kid in front of her, with blond hair and blue eyes, was somewhat familiar.
But for a moment, she couldn't remember.
"I... is it any of your business!"
Hearing the word "house," the kid's eyes showed a hint of melancholy.
But he still tried to maintain a tough and defiant attitude.
However, as soon as the words left his mouth, the kid immediately realized something was wrong...
"Wait... is this your house?" The kid asked with a puzzled expression.
"That's not right... I clearly saw that big sister come in here last night?"
The kid was named Naruto.
Naruto Uzumaki.
Last night, he was beaten up badly.
Then, a kind-hearted big sister saved him and even treated him to two bowls of ramen...
The ramen was delicious, Ichiraku's master's skills were impeccable, especially the chashu… wait.
Ramen wasn't the point.
The point was, that big sister… was so strong!
He didn't even see how the big sister made her moves, and those guys, along with those loudly yelling guys, were instantly taken care of!
So cool, so awesome...
Naruto had followed her all the way last night, wanting to thank her, but in the end, he didn't have the courage...
Then, all that awaited him, was a sleepless night.
If only he could be that awesome...
Then, those people in the village wouldn't treat him that way, would they?
So.
Naruto, who had fallen asleep in the early morning hours, woke up and came straight here.
He wanted to learn.
Learn those whooshing powers, learn how to become that awesome...
But... although he found the place.
That tightly locked, damned door.
Had become his first insurmountable obstacle...
"Oh... you're here to find Haruko, are you?"
A look of understanding flashed in Anko's eyes, but her expression gradually turned strange.
In that short time.
She had already recognized the kid in front of her.
The Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, the one with that ominous presence sealed inside him.
She heard that he was usually a troublemaker, many families in the village had been messed with by him, very mischievous.
Anko's eyes narrowed.
"What, you're planning to bring your pranks to my house?"
"I'm not as easy-going as Haruko, you know... little brat."
Naruto's face tightened!
He quickly looked behind him, as if afraid of being overheard.
"I'm not here for... that!"
"Then what are you here for?"
Anko pressed, her eyes growing more playful...
With Anko's carefree personality.
She wouldn't blame a little kid for the disaster from years ago.
Besides, looking at the kid's nervous demeanor...
It was kind of fun?
Intrigued, Anko was preparing to tease the little guy some more.
And inside the courtyard.
Only a wall separated him, Qingchuan, who was practicing as usual, even though the perfect professional fake smile was still on his face, his expression was full of strangeness.
He heard the conversation outside clearly.
He had even sensed Naruto's approach an hour ago.
It was a little difficult...
He hadn't expected that just treating him to two bowls of ramen would bring Naruto here?
Qingchuan's heart was somewhat conflicted.
Naruto had come.
The ANBU had followed him as well.
Although he didn't pay much attention to Naruto's life, Hiruzen Sarutobi was clearly cautious about the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.
But he had just finished his Bankai training, he hadn't even started his peaceful life yet...
The arrival of the ANBU was making him a little annoyed.
He.
Wouldn't stay in Konoha for too long.
He already obtained Bankai. He only waited for the night of the massacre to pass, then he could take his mission rewards and leave with a flourish.
He didn't want to deal with the Uchiha Clan.
He had no interest in Konoha.
Let them fight if they wanted to fight, let them kill if they wanted to kill, what did he care?
It was as if he was eager to transmigrate to Konoha, transmigrate to the Uchiha clan...
If he had a choice back then.
He'd rather have chosen Kirigakure from the start, to train his muscles or something.
After all, he was a real man!
But now Naruto was standing at the door, it was making things difficult...
Chase him away? He probably wouldn't leave.
Naruto's persistence was even more ridiculous than Orochimaru's yearning for truth.
He could chase after Sasuke from the beginning to the end, you can imagine...
But the key was to take him in...
Wasn't a good idea either?
Take in a Jinchūriki? And get a bunch of ANBU staring at him 24/7 as a bonus?
Why would he want to suffer that...
Qingchuan was now incredibly conflicted.
However.
Just then.
He didn't know what got into Anko.
The damned wooden door, suddenly opened...
Qingchuan was stunned, looking over.
He happened to see Naruto, who was looking completely bewildered.
Their eyes met.
And the next moment, Naruto's little face suddenly turned red to his ears...
"Hello... Ah! Sister Haruko..."
"We meet again, huh?"
Naruto's voice was small, completely different from when he was talking to Anko.
He also scratched the back of his head, his eyes darting around, acting guilty...
And Anko, on the side, was giving him encouraging glances, encouraging him wildly!
Naruto gathered his courage.
"Um... Can you teach me how to train?"
