Chapter 22 Guilt
🕑 Added 2025-03-08 06:14:28 +0000 UTCIt had been five years already and it was time for Tsunade to bring Naruto back to the village.
“Are you sure you want to go back to the village with me, Naruto?”
Tsunade asked him with concern.
She didn’t know what happened to him before but now she knew everything.
Konohagakure had changed so much. She didn’t think the village that her father loved so much would be full of vicious people.
‘I should do something about them as the princess of the Senju clan.’
Senju was the cofounder of the village along with Uchiha.
She had an authority that could overpowered the councilors.
She knew that something bad must have happened to Naruto inside the village in the past. But she didn’t think it would be that much.
‘To think someone would dare to stab a five year old kid in my village. I have to find that sh*t and kill him.’
Seeing how concerned Tsunade was for him. Naruto felt very touched.
“It’s okay, Tsunade-shishou! I am very strong now. Those villagers won’t dare do anything to me as I am now also a Senju!”
During the five years they lived together. Tsunade came to love him like he was her little brother.
Even though their age was quite far apart. Daji said that to a cultivator. Age is just a number.
‘How old are you, Daji-san?’
‘Naruto-chan, I will tell you that asking women about their age and weight is like seeking death. So don’t do that in the future.”
‘Yes…’
Looking at how energetic Naruto was, Tsunade shook her head.
She had adopted him into her clan. Hiruzen was in support of it as he told her to do as she pleased. He would help by adding him into her clan legally.
Both she and Naruto were of the last of the loyal blood line of the both clans anyway.
Sticking together was the best choice.
“If you were to have a daughter in the future just let him marry your daughter huhu.”
Tsunade sighed when she thought about her sensei. She was too old to have a lover let alone kids.
“Let’s go, I want to go back to the village already. There are many things I want to do!”
Naruto believed that he could do many things he couldn’t do before.
Tsunade smiled and just followed him behind along with Shizune and Kakashi.
During these five years not only did Tsunade and Naruto relationship improve but both Shizune and Kakashi began to become closer as well.
…
Konohagakure, the kid playground.
Two young girls about ten years old could be seen playing with each other.
Both of them had different hair colors. One was blond and the other was pink.
They were Naruto’s childhood friends. The ones that abandoned him.
Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino.
Sakura and Ino were playing with each other like usual. They were at the age that liked to have fun.
However, even though they were playing. They seemed to be thinking about something.
“I miss Naruto-chan…”
Ino said while sliding down from the slider. Sakura heard and she was about to nod but changed to shake her head instead.
“But he is the demon fox. My mother told me that he would kill me if I were too close to him.”
Sakura lost her father because of the giant demon fox. So she was feeling conflicted right now. She also missed Naruto very much.
Only he would show her affection unlike the other kids who always bully her because of her hair and forehead.
‘Your hair is beautiful Sakura-chan! And your forehead is cool as well!’
“Are you still on about that, Sakura. Couldn’t you see that he was just like us! How could he do that kind of thing when he was just a baby back then. Now he has gone and no one knows where he is!”
Ino wanted to cry. She shouldn’t do that to him. She should believe in him and not ever let him go.
Back then the three of them were very close but because of the adults. They were apart and now she didn’t know where he was.
Guilt was eating her away. Sakura went silent. She also didn’t believe wha
t her mother had said but before she could say sorry to Naruto. He had completely gone.
