This was the first time someone had taken the initiative to talk to him. Naruto answered very carefully, not too loudly or very softly.
Danzo took his hand off Naruto's head and sat down beside him. He continued to ask,""I've heard of you. You're a monster in the village. No one wants to play with you.”
It was like a casual sentence, but it hurt Naruto deeply.
"Group storage!" Shouda growled.
Perhaps it was because he felt that Danzou's attitude towards him was different from the others, his words were very unpleasant, and he hurt Naruto more than the others.
Suppressing the pain in his heart, Naruto said with an ugly expression,""They're just talking nonsense. I'm not a monster.”
He wanted to salvage the impression this uncle had of him.
Another one.
Just one.
It would be great if there was another person who could treat him as well as Uncle Handsome and Sister Chang Pu.
Naruto had some extravagant hopes in his heart.
His voice was very soft and soft, but it was clearly transmitted into Tuan Zang's ears.
He had a strong personality, but he was not confident.
However, it was also true that if one's personality was not strong, they would have long turned dark in such an environment.
Tanzo seemed to not have sensed Naruto's emotions and continued,""If you're not a monster, why don't others like you? Moreover, you look very guilty.”
"Are you a monster or not?"
His expression was calm, but his words were somewhat aggressive.
Naruto looked at Tanzang who was sitting beside him and staring at him. He felt inexplicably sad. Even this good-looking uncle was prejudiced against him.
At the same time, Naruto was puzzled.
Why did he suffer such injustice?
"How do I know if I'm a monster? What's the difference between me and others?”
After enduring for a long time, the pain, anger, and confusion finally could not be suppressed and vented.
Tears streamed down his face as Naruto couldn't control his volume and shouted,"
"Why? Why does everyone hate me? I didn't do anything!"
His cheeks were flushed red as he questioned Tanzang.
An inexplicable malice emerged in his body, making him speculate about the group treasure with malice.
The beard on his face that grew because of Nine-Tails became more obvious. His blue pupils were dyed with a hint of redness, and an ominous aura was emitted from his body.
"Naruto…"
Chang Pu wasn't afraid of Naruto's aura at all. He held Naruto's hand and glared at Tanzo."Sir, although you're a guest, we don't welcome you here now.”
Shouda didn't say anything. He stood awkwardly behind Chang Pu and pressed his palms together, hoping that Tuan Zang would leave first.
Naruto, who was being held by Chang Pu, was startled. The evil aura quickly shrank, and the scarlet in his eyes slowly receded, returning to a pure blue color.
Ignoring the two of them, Tanzo looked at Naruto and asked,""Naruto, do you think you're a monster?”
"No!" Naruto replied.
Even if others kept calling him a monster, distancing themselves from him, or even hating him.
However, he knew very well that he was definitely not a monster.
He was just an ordinary child.
"Louder!"
Tuan Zang stared at him and said seriously,"Since you don't think you're a monster, then be generous and tell me with your chest out."?”
"Are you a monster or not?!"
"No!"
Naruto's eyes became firm. He was not a monster, definitely not!
"Very good." Seeing Naruto's determined look, Danzo finally nodded in satisfaction and reached out to brush his golden hair.
An inexplicable power was transmitted from Tuan Zang's hand into his mind.
The originally bright surroundings instantly darkened.
Under the guidance of Tanzo Chakra, Naruto's pupils gradually lost their focus.
"Where is this place?"
It was damp and dark.
When Naruto came back to his senses, he was no longer in the ramen shop.
Naruto did not panic. He felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when he arrived at this place.
It was as if he had been here before.
Pixie---
The sound of flowing water rang in his ears. In the dark space that was like a sewer, a voice was intermittently echoing in Naruto's mind, leading him forward.
Puzzled, Naruto followed the sound of the water and walked deeper into the sewers.
"Wake up."
Tanzo suddenly patted Naruto's shoulder, waking him up from his trance.
Naruto woke up from his trance and stared at the unfamiliar environment in front of him with wide eyes. Then, he looked at Tanzo beside him and asked,""Uncle, what is this place?"
As he spoke, he unconsciously moved closer to Tuan Zang.
He was a little afraid.
"This is in your inner world, or in your body.”Tuan Zang replied.
"Body?"
Naruto's eyes widened as he touched his body." Isn't my body still here?”
“……”
He hadn't gone to the ninja school yet, and Tanzo didn't want to explain too much about chakras to him. He picked him up from the water and walked deeper into the sewers with an expressionless face.
Naruto did not struggle and asked,""Uncle, where are we going?"
Tuan Zang calmly replied,"I'm going to see the monster in your body."”
His words were like a bolt from the blue, making Naruto's body tremble. He was stunned for a long time before he stuttered,"Uncle, am I…am I really a monster?”
He began to doubt his own existence.
It was in his body, but he had no idea that there was such a place in his body.
Was he really a monster?
"Didn't you just swear that you're not a monster? Since he was certain that he wasn't, he had to stick to his own ideas and not change his mind just because of one or two words from others.”
Noticing Naruto's low mood, Tanzo reprimanded him.
"But…"
Naruto wanted to say something, but he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
At the end of the sewer, a huge cage appeared in front of him.
There was an incomprehensible piece of paper stuck to the cage, and the cage was pitch black. Naruto could not see what was inside.
"Uncle, what's inside?" Naruto asked carefully.”
The group had already put Naruto down, but the unfamiliar environment made Naruto hide behind the group in fear.
"There's a tailed beast locked inside." As Tuan Zang explained, he released his chakra to explore the cage.
