Seeing passers-by gradually gathering around, the boss asked Naruto fiercely: "I also want to ask you, the god of plague, why are you here?"
"I just……"
Naruto suddenly felt a little aggrieved. He had lost sister Kushina today. Now couldn't even the mask let him look at her?
In the mask shop, seeing more and more villagers gathering outside the door, the boss was worried that Naruto would affect his business, so he quickly picked up a mask and threw it at Naruto.
"This is for you, get out of here!"
Seeing the mask hitting his head, Naruto subconsciously closed his eyes.
In the crowd, Kushina's eyes turned cold, and she stood in front of Naruto.
There was a "bang" sound.
The mask hit her body, bounced up, drew an arc, then fell, finally stopping at her feet.
Hearing the sound, Naruto opened his eyes.
"Kushina-sister!"
Seeing the red-haired girl in front of him, he cried out excitedly. It turned out that Sister Kushina had not abandoned him!
"Naruto, it's me! Sorry... I'm late!"
Kushina turned her head and smiled gently at Naruto, picked up the mask from the ground, and said to the surrounding villagers in a positive tone.
"He is not a god of plague, nor is he the son of a demon fox. He is who he is, and he is Naruto Uzumaki!"
Looking at the boss in the mask shop who was glaring at herself and Naruto, Kushina threw the mask back with all her strength.
"Give it back to you, trash!"
The mask grazed his cheek, and the boss cursed angrily: "Damn bastard! It's better to let the demon fox eat you!"
"Demon fox?"
Jiuxin shook his head disdainfully and said, "I'm not afraid!"
Seeing the girl protecting Naruto like this, the surrounding villagers pointed at Kushina and started talking.
"She is actually protecting the son of the demon fox!"
"How abominable!"
"You know how many people were killed during the Demon Fox Rebellion!"
"Alas... even the Fourth Generation died that night!"
"It's the son of the demon fox in front of me who destroyed my home!"
"Yes! He should be driven out of the village!"
"that is……!"
Gradually, everyone turned their attention to Naruto, and one ugly curse after another came out of their mouths, directly hitting the boy's eardrums.
Naruto huddled up subconsciously.
"Come at me, don't bully the children!"
After Kushina yelled at everyone, she knelt down and held Naruto in her arms distressedly.
She understands the life of a jinchuriki very well.
Kushina knew that she could not change other people's opinions, so she chose to change her own mood.
But Naruto is still so young, at the age when he needs someone to coax him, and he has no ability to control his emotions!
Can't the village send some personal protection to protect Naruto?
Kushina thought about it and became more and more uncomfortable. She rested her head on Naruto's head and protested to the surrounding villagers.
"The village needs a container to hold the Nine Tails, and someone has to make sacrifices. If it were you, would you be willing to be treated like this?"
Upon hearing the girl's words, the surrounding villagers suddenly became silent.
After a while, everyone started talking again, and there was a feeling that the matter had nothing to do with it.
Kushina listened and burst into tears when she thought that Naruto had begun to bear her previous pain at such a young age.
But Kushina is not willing to give in. She doesn't believe that among so many people, there is no one who can understand them!
So, Kushina made one last attempt and spoke softly.
"One of my elders said that before you become a container, you must fill your heart with love so that you will not be lonely."
"A friend of mine said that jinchūriki should receive the greatest kindness from the village because they have given so much."
The surrounding villagers were unmoved and even became more sarcastic.
"Tch! Love? Is the fox demon worthy of love?"
"The fox demon still wants to be treated well by us? How ridiculous!"
"Wait until the fox demon eats you!"
"That's right! It's best for you and the demon fox to die together!"
Kushina couldn't bear it anymore, she took Naruto's hand, stood up, and glanced around the surrounding villagers with an indifferent expression.
"In my opinion, your malice is understandable. Tailed beasts and jinchūriki are one and the same! The little fox's sins are on my head and don't matter!"
"However, Minato and I have sacrificed so much and are even willing to contribute our own children as Jinchuuriki. Why can't you be a little better to him? Even a little bit will do!"
Upon hearing this, Naruto's tears fell in clusters.
He is not an orphan, he is not abandoned, his parents are here to find him!
Naruto raised his head and stared at Kushina with blurred tearful eyes.
In the field of vision, the girl's blood-red hair was already flying up and down in the air!
Seeing this, the surrounding villagers subconsciously stepped back.
Kushina smiled disdainfully, took Naruto's hand, walked into the mask shop, and looked at the culprit provocatively.
"Naruto, you can see whichever of these masks you want! I'll see who dares to stop you!"
"Um!"
Naruto nodded vigorously and looked from one mask to the next with his wide blue eyes.
He liked the feeling of being bullied and having someone stand up for him.
The boss on the side had a grimace on his face and rushed to Naruto and said.
"Give me...!"
"Hmph! What's wrong?"
Kushina snorted and interrupted the boss directly.
"When we open the door for business, everyone who comes is a customer. I, the Bloody Red Chili Pepper, are not someone to be trifled with!"
"You all get out of here!"
The boss was furious and pushed Kushina and Naruto out.
Seeing the two of them fall to the ground, the boss was still angry and spat on the ground before continuing to curse.
"Disgusting son of a demon fox!"
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding villagers shouted "You deserve it" one after another at Kushina and Naruto!
"Son of a demon fox? Deserve it? Hahahaha!"
Kushina hugged Naruto and laughed sadly.
After a while, the laughter gradually disappeared.
In front of the mask shop.
Kushina raised her head indifferently and looked at the horizon. She felt that today's sunset was not red enough!
"Today I am not the Konoha ninja Kushina, but a mother collecting debts for her son!"
After saying this, Kushina paused and uttered two words contemptuously: "Run!"
The next second.
Dark red chakra suddenly erupted, and a tail instantly grew from behind the girl.
One, two, three!
It turned into Kujo in the blink of an eye!
Dark red light pillars soared into the sky!
The clouds were violently pushed away by the beam of light in an instant!
Even the sunset has lost its beauty at this moment!
Unknown! Uneasy! Not good!
Unspeakable terror instantly enveloped the entire Konoha Village, and people finally remembered the fear of being dominated by the Kyuubi!
Junk Street.
The instigators dispersed in a hurry. Faced with the terrifying scene before them, they wished they had two more legs to escape from!
Naruto stood on the roadside, looking at the red light beam in front of him at a loss.
He instinctively felt fear, but he was more worried about Kushina!
"Jiusin...Mom——!"
Hearing Naruto's call, a blue figure flashed over and held Naruto in his arms.
