Naruto's smile was like a beam of light, shining into Xiang Lian's heart.

Somehow, Xiang Lu felt that his nose was a little sour.

Naruto asked sheepishly: "Although I know your name, I still want you to tell me your name, is that okay?"

"I..." Xiang Ling didn't dare to look into Naruto's clear blue eyes. She turned her head and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito, "I don't have a last name. My name is Xiang Ling."

After Xiang Lu finished speaking, he buried his head lower.

In this world, only a "few people" deserve to have a surname.

Most people don't have surnames.

People without surnames are like weeds.

"Karasu, you have a last name." Naruto corrected him seriously: "Your name is Uzumaki Kaorus."

"Uzumaki Uzumaki?" Uzumaki looked blankly into Naruto's eyes.

She didn't know how she had the same last name as this blond boy.

Naruto saw Xiang Lian's doubts and uneasiness, and took the initiative to explain:

"This is what Brother Hokage told me. He said that you, like me, have the blood of the Uzumaki clan."

Naruto...

This is the second time Xiang Phosphorus heard this title.

She became very curious about Naruto.

"So, your real name is Uzumaki Uzumaki, which is the same as the Uzumaki in my Uzumaki Naruto."

"From now on," Naruto said, scratching his head in embarrassment, "we will be a family."

The word "family?" is both familiar and unfamiliar to Xiang Lu.

Naruto's heart was beating wildly, and he asked nervously: "Is it okay?"

Naruto couldn't help but feel nervous.

Although he has made a lot of friends now, he still hopes to have a family-like person by his side.

When Naruto learned about the existence of Xiang Phosphorus from Qianye, he was extremely happy.

He knew that Xiang Lian, like himself, had the blood of the Uzumaki clan.

He also learned about the history of the Uzumaki clan's destruction. This history made Naruto hate the third generation and Konoha in the past even more.

At the same time, he also has great expectations for Xiang Lian, the orphan of the Uzumaki clan.

He really wanted to have another person in his family.

People will become brave and timid when facing things they like very much.

Seeing Naruto's nervous look, Xiang Ling was deeply touched:

'It turns out that besides my mother, there are people in this world who really care about me.'

Xiang Ling clutched the quilt with both small hands, and her voice trembled: "I, I will try my best to become a member of Brother Naruto's family."

When Naruto heard Xiang Lian's affirmative reply, he jumped up happily: "That's great! Hahaha, I have a family!

I have a family!

"

Xiang Ling sat on the bed, looked at Naruto who was in high spirits, and giggled happily along with him.

After a while, the two children sat on the ground.

Xiang Ling looked at the setting sun outside, pursed his lips, and squeezed out a heart-wrenching smile: "Brother Naruto, can I go see my mother?"

Her heart is definitely not as peaceful as it seems on the surface.

However, Xiang Phosphorus did not collapse to the point of crying.

This hopeless world is enough for people to grow up quickly and become more mature.

People are used to sadness, used to death, used to separation.

Even children are no exception.

The only thing is that everyone has never been accustomed to happiness.

Because the word 'happiness' is too far away and this thing is too luxurious.

Like a fragile mirror.

The world is reflected in the mirror, and our lives are reflected.

But it only needs a slight drop, and everything inside will be shattered into countless pieces.

If you reach out and touch it, you will only get bruises all over your body.

So, Xiang Phosphorus is already used to it.

Naruto reached out and touched Xiang Lian's head, and nodded vigorously: "Well, let's go together, just in time, I also want to take you to meet my parents."

"Naruto-nii's parents?" Xiang Ling was a little envious, but more of a blessing.

Some unhappy people want others to have a bad life too.

Only in this way can they find solace.

But there are some unhappy people who hope that the people around them can live a happy life and not fall into the same situation as themselves.

Phosphorus belongs to the latter.

"Well," Naruto's smile revealed something complicated and unspeakable: "Brother Hokage buried them together after asking my opinion."

Buried together?

Xiang Lu turned her head, her eyes widened, and she finally reacted.

"I'm sorry, Brother Naruto, I didn't mean to do it, I'm sorry." Xiang Ling noticed the strange look on Naruto's expression and apologized to Naruto at a loss.

"It's okay," Naruto reached out and rubbed Xiang Ling's head: "I didn't mean to blame you, I just thought of some unhappy things."

Naruto has been to Konoha's cemetery more than once, but no one has ever told him that there are two stone tablets in the cemetery belonging to his parents.

One piece belongs to the Fourth Hokage and Namikaze Minato.

One piece belongs to the second Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, the orphan of the Uzumaki clan, Uzumaki Kushina.

No one had ever told him, if it wasn't Qianye.

Naruto didn't even know how long he would have to wait to know all this.

Maybe you will be kept in the dark your whole life.

Maybe he will be regarded as a "monster" for the rest of his life.

There are no friends, no goodwill, only indifference, malice, harsh criticism, and abuse.

Will of Fire?

Ah!

Naruto only believes in one truth, and that is Qianye's "New Edition of the Will of Fire".

In the entire Konoha, the only person Naruto could truly trust was Qianye.

It was that person who brought him light and dispelled the darkness for him.

Therefore, he will work hard to learn everything Qianye said and become the person Qianye needs.

"However," Naruto took the initiative to hold Xiang Ling's hand: "That is all in the past."

"let's go."

"Brother Naruto, can you tell me about Naruto?"

"Is his name just Hokage?"

"No, Brother Hokage's real name is Uchiha Qianye, and he is the greatest ninja in the world."

"Xianglan, you have to remember that everything we have now is given by big brother Hokage."

"Without Brother Hokage, you and I would still be struggling in hell!"

Naruto's eyes became cold and stern: "We can betray any of us, but we can't betray Brother Hokage. If you do anything to regret him in the future, I will kill you without hesitation!"

Xiang Ling was startled by Naruto like this. She nodded quickly: "Brother Naruto, I remember, I will never betray you and Brother Hokage."

"Sorry, I must have scared you just now."

Xiang Phosphorus nodded and shook his head vigorously.

"Nothing."

"I will definitely protect you from now on, Xiang Phosphorus."

"Yeah! I will also protect Brother Naruto!"
