The smell of grilled fish wafts from the shore.

Naruto sat aside and did not pick up the grilled fish to eat. Instead, he secretly looked at the boy in white who was enjoying the grilled fish.

Guessing the identity of the young man in white.

No matter how you look at it, the identity of this young man in white is very suspicious, and his behavior of drowning in the center of the lake is also very strange.

Seeing the other person eating grilled fish with a nonchalant expression, Naruto finally couldn't help but say:

"that……"

"Um?"

The boy in white still had grilled fish in his mouth. After hearing Naruto's voice, he raised his head and looked at him, blinking his eyes, as if he was wondering why Naruto stopped him at this time.

"Why are you unconscious in the middle of the lake... That must be a very dangerous behavior."

Naruto said.

The boy in white stopped eating the grilled fish, took the remaining half of the grilled fish from his mouth, and then slowly said to Naruto: "Suicide."

"suicide?"

Naruto's eyes widened, looking incomprehensible.

"Yes, I want to commit suicide."

The boy in white definitely nodded.

"..."

Now Naruto couldn't understand it even more.

Moreover, the answer of the boy in white was beyond his understanding.

How could a perfectly good person suddenly commit suicide?

"Is it difficult to understand?"

Seeing Naruto's confused look, the boy in white asked.

"Um."

Naruto didn't understand the young man's thoughts at all, nor did he know what was going on in his mind.

But the act of committing suicide is originally a negative thought to avoid the world and cannot solve any substantive problems.

If you really have to commit suicide, how desperate do you have to be about your future life to have such unbearable thoughts and put them into action?

However, he did not see any sadness or despair on the face of the young man in white. Even when he said the word 'suicide', it seemed that it was just for explanation and explanation.

Therefore, Naruto could not understand.

"After all, in my opinion, there is no obstacle in life that I can't overcome. I have been hated by many adults in the past, and many of my peers have also been affected by it and started to stay away from me. It is somewhat desperate to say that, but escaping can't solve anything.

I believe that only by facing the problem can we seize the opportunity to change other people’s views on ourselves.”

At least, it’s not like he doesn’t have people around him who care about him, or friends who are willing to get along with him.

Although there are few, these are enough to become the light in his heart and drive away those bad and dark thoughts.

"?"

The boy in white looked at Naruto blankly, was he being lectured?

Although the explanation given was very reluctant, the other party seemed to be dispelling his negative thoughts of suicide.

However, the other party's remarks clearly misunderstood something.

He did not commit suicide out of despair about the future.

"Noisy...want quiet."

"What?"

"No, it's nothing. Just pretend that I didn't figure it out for the moment. However, after hearing what you said, I no longer have any thoughts of committing suicide."

The young man in white shook his head, unwilling to dwell on this topic any further.

After all, his own existence is too incredible for outsiders.

"Eh?"

Naruto looked at the boy in white in shock.

One moment he wanted to commit suicide, the other moment he gave up on committing suicide, this guy's face changed too quickly.

Could it be that what I said was really so useful?

"Because I want to protect my father. He is the creator who gave me life. I must keep fighting until I fall."

The expression of the boy in white suddenly became firm.

"Yes, really? Look, don't you still have family caring for you?"

Naruto didn't know what was going on in the heart of the boy in white, but giving up suicide was undoubtedly a good thing.

Moreover, regarding protecting his most important relatives as his life goal, this is also a great dream in Naruto's opinion.

Naruto's favorability towards the boy in white suddenly soared.

People who have this kind of ideological awareness to protect others and even give up their own lives are definitely not bad people.

"Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask, that forehead protector you're wearing...are you a ninja?"

The boy in white changed the topic, fixed his gaze on the forehead protector on Naruto's forehead, and began to ask.

Naruto raised his brows, with a very proud smile on his face. He put his hands on his forehead protector, lifted the forehead protector upwards, and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, I am a genin from Konoha Village, Uzumaki Naruto."

people."

"Konoha? The mark on the forehead protector does seem a bit familiar."

"Have you met any other Konoha shinobi?"

"Um."

The boy in white squinted his eyes back, and his eyes fell on the long-handled object wrapped in a white cloth belt.

It seems that quite a few Konoha ninjas have died under this gun.

"So, that means you are also a ninja?"

Naruto became interested.

The boy in white nodded calmly and took out a forehead protector with a strap from his arms. The format was the same as the ninja forehead protector in Konoha Village. The difference was that the pattern on the forehead protector was a blooming aster flower.

"I remember seeing this pattern somewhere. Strange, where is it?"

Naruto stared at the mark on his forehead protector and scratched his cheek.

"This is the forehead protector worn by ninjas from the land of ghosts."

"Ghost Country?" A flash of inspiration flashed in Naruto's mind, and he suddenly realized: "Ah, I remembered it, no wonder it looks so familiar. At the port of Wave Country, I saw a huge ship of the Ghost Country, with this flag engraved on it.

The same mark as the forehead protector.”

"That's the escort fleet belonging to the Demon Country's military."

The boy in white nodded.

The Country of Waves is an island country. If Konoha ninjas want to come to the Country of Waves, they can only cross the sea by boat and land at the port.

It is inevitable that you will find military ships belonging to the Kingdom of Demons there.

"In other words, you are indeed a ninja from the Kingdom of Ghosts."

"That's right, my name is Ako... The ninja level, according to the position assigned to me by my father, I should be a jounin."

"Jounin!?"

Naruto's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he looked at Ako, the boy in white, with a surprised look on his face.

The other party looks like he is barely fifteen or sixteen years old. He is a jounin at such a young age?

From Naruto's point of view, this was simply a fantasy.

After being trained by Kakashi, Naruto understood the difference between genin and jounin.

Even if he was given three years to make amends, Naruto could not guarantee that he could become as powerful as a Jonin.

"Well, may I ask, how old are you this year?"

Could it be that this child just looks younger? In fact, he is older?

Chizi was stunned by the question.

"What's wrong?"

"No, I was just thinking about how old I am... If it were counted from the year when I really regained consciousness and could move freely, my current age should be five years old... or four years old?"

Ako looked like he was thinking seriously.

This was the first time someone asked him his age.
