Konoha: Doing good deeds can make you stronger

Chapter 34 The Gradually Expanding Circle of Friends
Although very excited, Sasuke did not step forward in the end. Unlike Naruto Uzumaki, Marutani Kou was still too unfamiliar to him. He held Itachi's hand and watched the small interaction between the two enviously.

Uzumaki Naruto is too clingy, Marutani Koko has no choice but to promise to help him solve the problems he encounters immediately.

"Okay, okay, isn't it just that no one asked you to help? I'll help you solve it later."

"Great!" Uzumaki Naruto grabbed Marutani Kou's hand excitedly, wanting to move forward, "Then let's go!"

Marutani Kou was pulled forward by Naruto, turned his head helplessly, and said goodbye to Itachi.

"Then let's go first, Naruto, and say goodbye to Itachi and Sasuke."

"Bye! Brother Itachi! And Sasuke!" Uzumaki Naruto turned his head excitedly, shaking his hands.

Itachi nodded friendly.

"Goodbye Naruto."

"We don't know you that well!"

Sasuke's attitude was not very kind, and he didn't have any affection for this "idiot".

Naruto didn't care about Sasuke's attitude. Over the past few years, he has become accustomed to how others treat him like this, but Naruto can ignore it, but Itachi can't ignore it. He tapped Sasuke's head lightly.

"Have you forgotten what you said just now?"

"But he is not an elder."

"It's the same with friends."

Sasuke still wanted to refute, but seeing his brother's serious eyes, he finally looked away and nodded slightly.

"Eh? Are we friends?" Naruto opened his eyes wide, and the joy in his eyes seemed to overflow immediately, "Is Sasuke my friend?!"

Although very reluctant, Sasuke still admitted.

"Ah."

Although the sound was very small, Naruto heard it clearly enough, and jumped up excitedly in an instant.

"Yeah! I have a friend!"

Although Marutani Koko took great care of himself, the age difference between the two of them was still far away, so they were not considered friends. Naruto looked at Sasuke Uchiha, who was about the same age as him, and was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

"Sasuke! I will definitely protect you in the future!"

"I don't need your protection."

"You guys have to get along well in the future." Marutani Kou touched Naruto's head, "Since we are friends, we can't quarrel over trivial things in the future."

"Okay!" Naruto responded positively.

Although Naruto was very happy to have gained a friend, he was still thinking about becoming popular, so he pulled Marutani Kou away from the place.

The two brothers of the Uchiha clan stayed where they were.

"Brother, why do I want to be friends with Naruto?" Sasuke felt very strange about his brother's decision to make himself friends with Naruto. As the son of the Uchiha patriarch, he also had his own pride. There's no need to be friends with someone like Naruto.

Itachi reached out and stroked his brother's hair tenderly.

"Don't underestimate anyone. The world will never lack miracles. If we are self-righteous, we will be eliminated."

"Is this why my brother and Marutani Kou become friends?" Sasuke was still a little confused, "He obviously looks very weak."

"You have to call him brother, he is very special."

"Ok?"

Uchiha Itachi remembered when he first met Marutani Kou, at that time he didn't know each other, and thought he was just an ordinary civilian.

"The attitudes of everyone in the village towards our family are either fear, awe, or hatred, but he is very special, very special. He is obviously just the most ordinary civilian in the village, but there is no trace of separation in his eyes, and What you want is equality, when you talk to him, although he also uses honorifics and titles, you can feel that in his heart, everyone is equal."

"Do you know how amazing this is in this world?"

Sasuke shook his head bewilderedly.

"Yeah, you don't know." Itachi pampered Sasuke's black hair, "You will understand when you grow up, this world is really too complicated."

"My brother is obviously only five years older than me."

Sasuke pursed his lips, closed his eyes, silently enjoying the unique tenderness of his brother.

As for the fact that Marutani Kou and Uzumaki Naruto had run away at this time, Marutani Kou regained the initiative and led Uzumaki Naruto to Nara's house.

"Where is this?"

Naruto Uzumaki turned his head curiously, observing the strange environment around him.

"It's Shikamaru's house."

"Shikamaru's house? Is his house so good?"

Before the two got close, they heard the miserable wailing sound coming from the house.

"Marutani Kou! Why haven't you come yet!"

"Who called me?"

Marutani Kou knocked on the door of Nara's house, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Nara Shikamaru standing by the door with his hands raised high, and he was actually carrying a huge bucket on his hands.

"Shikamaru, what are you doing?"

Seeing such a scene, Naruto asked curiously.

Nara Shikamaru was gritting his teeth and complaining about Marutani Kou, but when he heard the voices of the two, it was as if a lost traveler had found a lighthouse in the dark, and his eyes instantly shone.

"Brother Marutani Koko, you are finally here! Hurry up and explain to your mother!"

"Oh? Now you know how to call me brother?"

Marutani Kou couldn't help molesting.

The sound that Nara Shikamaru made in surprise was not small, the couple Nara Yoshino and Nara Shikahisa who were inside the house came out after hearing the sound, they saw the voice before seeing the person.

"What's the matter? Who's here?"

"Teacher, it's me."

Nara Yoshino and Nara Shikahisa appeared in the yard at the same time, Shikamaru was still carrying the huge bucket, and he didn't dare to put it down without his mother's consent.

"Oh, it's Xiaohang. Just now Shikamaru said that he met you guys. Is it true?"

Nara Shikamaru explained the situation as soon as he returned home, but Nara Yoshino did not believe it, but thought that his son was lying, and punished Shikamaru to stand outside in a fit of anger.

"Teacher, teacher's wife, the thing is like this."

Marutani Koko quickly told about the little things that happened between Shikamaru and Naruto.

Yoshino Nara, who learned the truth, was a little guilty, and stepped forward to put the bucket aside.

"I misunderstood you, I'm sorry Shikamaru."

"saved!"

Nara Shikamaru, who escaped the catastrophe, didn't feel dissatisfied or complained. He knew that his mother's personality was like this, so he just massaged his sore muscles and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, Mother."

Shikahisa Nara had spotted Naruto Uzumaki before, and he gave Marutani Kou a wink.

"Naruto, play with Shikamaru first, the teacher and I have something to talk about."

Marutani Kou pushed Naruto to Shikamaru's side, and he followed Nara Shikoku to the side.

Nara Shikahisa's expression was a little serious, he was afraid that his students would get into trouble.

"Do you know Naruto's identity?"

"I know, teacher, I have consulted three generations of adults for instructions."

"That's good."

Nara Shikahisa breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, when he saw Naruto Uzumaki just now, he was extremely nervous. You must know that Naruto Uzumaki is now the "treasure" of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he can't tolerate anyone at all. touch.
