Chapter 237

The lights of the store attracted Naruto, and after Naruto stood there for a long time, he finally went in...

But to everyone's surprise, this time Naruto only bought a twin popsicle!

Afterward, Naruto came to a bench not far away and sat down!

Throughout the whole process, Naruto kept his head down; none of the viewers could see his expression...

Above the bench was a lonely street lamp; the light emitted by the street lamp attracted a few moths playing on it! Occasionally they would hit the street lamp, making one or two collision sounds!

And Naruto sat lonely on the chair under the street lamp, one hand holding the opened popsicle, but the popsicle was intact, without a trace of having been eaten...

Perhaps it had been left for too long, the popsicle began to melt, and the melted water slowly gathered together, finally forming a drop of water!

Under the action of gravity, the water drop slowly dripped into the soil, leaving a black dot...

At this time, the second drop of water, the third drop of water also dripped down!

But this time, the dripping water drops were clearly much heavier than before! When they hit the soil, they would form several small water drops, falling into the surrounding soil~

The image moved slowly upward, and at this moment, the people finally saw Naruto's expression...

At this time, Naruto's eyes were streaming with tears, the tears from both eyes slowly flowing down the corners of his eyes, finally meeting, forming countless tears dripping into the soil...!

Naruto had no reaction; he didn't make any sound, nor did he wipe away the tears, and he didn't even blink his eyes!

Just sitting there quietly......】

"I originally thought Naruto would cry and make a scene, but he didn't; just these silent tears make my heart feel even worse..."

"This might be the real Naruto... Before meeting Iruka, in countless nights, Naruto spent them alone in this loneliness, and he never even shed tears in front of outsiders..."

"Even more regrettable is that they didn't even leave a single photo together..."

"To think that I, a ninja who has seen life and death, would actually feel sad at this moment—it's truly ironic!"

"The more beautiful the memory, the more painful it is when it's lost..."

At this moment, no matter where they were in the Ninja World, whether they were doing something or on the road, they all stopped their footsteps and looked at the boy silently shedding tears in the video!

And at this moment, in the Hokage's office, Kushina's tears also flowed slowly, just like Naruto's in the video!

But the difference was that Kushina couldn't shed tears with a blank face like Naruto!

She only saw her biting her lip hard, her hands tightly gripping the round table in the office, her expression appearing very sad!

And at this moment, the people in the Hokage's office also felt bad!

Some of them lowered their heads, some turned their heads to the other side, unable to bear it!

And Jiraiya was full of self-reproach!

"I'm very sorry, Naruto, for bringing you so many bad memories!"

Jiraiya lowered his head and muttered to himself with some guilt!

【"Naruto!"】

Just at this moment, Iruka appeared slowly in the video!

Seeing who it was, Naruto hurriedly wiped the tears from his face!

"I heard about Lord Jiraiya!"

Iruka said while sitting down beside Naruto!

Naruto's head moved slightly, but his eyes remained listless...

"I wanted him to keep watching me; I clearly wanted him to watch the moment I become Hokage! I can't let Pervy Sage keep seeing my embarrassing side! I..."

This might be the first time Naruto had opened his heart and said so much since coming out of the Hokage's office today!

But before he could finish, Iruka interrupted him first!

【"Lord Jiraiya always praised you, just like his own grandson; he always spoke of you with great pride! He believed that you are the existence that inherits his will! He firmly believed that you would definitely become an outstanding Hokage one day!

Lord Jiraiya, always watching you!

Even now, he is watching you from somewhere!

That person wouldn't praise you if he saw you looking so depressed! So, just be the you that he could always praise, just like before!

Don't be depressed anymore, because you are the excellent disciple recognized by one of the Sannin, Jiraiya!"】

Iruka stood up slowly, came to Naruto, split the popsicle, and then handed one to Naruto...

And after hearing Iruka's words, a smile began to slowly appear on Naruto's face...

【"Thank you, Iruka-sensei!"】

Naruto slowly took the popsicle Iruka handed him and said!

"Why is there so much sand, making my eyes stream continuously..."

0 ·········Seeking flowers 0 ········

"Exactly, clearly I don't want to shed tears, but the sand gets in my eyes, making my tears unstoppable..."

In Sunagakure, in the viewing area, many ninjas rubbed their eyes while saying slowly!

"Popsicle, is it!"

In the Hokage's office, Minato looked at the video and silently noted this thing in his heart!

He hoped that one day, he could also share a popsicle with Naruto...

【In the video, the scene shifted; it was already the next morning!

Outside Naruto's house, Shikamaru kept pressing Naruto's doorbell, but strangely, no one came to open the door...】

【"What is it, he's not home."】

Just when Shikamaru intended to give up, the door to Naruto's house slowly opened...

【"Shikamaru, what's wrong?"】

Naruto looked at Shikamaru with listless eyes and asked!

【"Anyway, can I come in first?"】

Afterward, Naruto and Shikamaru walked into the house...

【"So, did you understand anything?"】

Shikamaru handed the photo with the code to Naruto to look at!

【"Hey, Naruto, what's wrong?"】

Seeing that Naruto hadn't responded for a long time, Shikamaru couldn't help but ask again!

But Naruto still had no reaction!

【"Naruto!"】

Finally, with Shikamaru's loud shout, Naruto came back to his senses......

【"Ah, sorry, sorry, what did you say?"】

Naruto, who had come back to his senses, apologized to Shikamaru while holding the photo with the code!

【"You come with me for a bit!"】

【"Where to?"】

【"Alright, just come with me!"】

Shikamaru, who couldn't stand Naruto's depression, brought Naruto to the Konoha Hospital!

【"Why did you suddenly come here!"】

Naruto, who was at the entrance of the hospital, asked, puzzled!

【"Wait a moment!"】

Shikamaru smiled slightly!

【"Oh, here!"】

At this moment, a faint sound of a door closing came from the video!

【"Ah, Kurenai-sensei? You were sent to the hospital because you ate too much barbecue! Your stomach is bigger than Choji's..."】

"This child..."

Seeing Naruto's reaction in the video, even Kushina, whose mood had just improved a little, had black lines all over her head!

"Hehe, Naruto is only 16 years old; it's normal that he doesn't know..."

Minato explained awkwardly!

And the people in the viewing area looked at this nerve-dull boy even more speechlessly!

"Making me cry and laugh, this kid, not bad..."

"Exactly, there should be a limit to being simple-minded..."

Everyone complained one after another! ===== CHAPTER 239 =====
