Naruto tiptoed, stood on the stool and watched, the sun warmed his body, he liked this feeling very much.

However, when he saw the children playing happily on the street and the adults clapping their hands benevolently, his expression darkened silently, and then he silently shifted his gaze elsewhere.

His gaze moved upwards, and the Huoying Rock in the distance was reflected in his eyes. Looking at the four rock statues above, his gaze showed a different kind of light.

"Hokage... what!" He stretched out his hand and grabbed it, but it was blocked by the glass of the window. At this time, he still didn't understand the meaning of Hokage, or even what Hokage actually did.

But in his only memory, he was visited several times by the Third Hokage, and the respect others showed for the Third Hokage was deeply reflected in his young heart.

For him, Hokage is someone who is respected by others.

"It would be great if I could become Hokage, so that others wouldn't look at me with strange eyes." He thought silently, then he clenched his fist, showed a bright smile at Hokage Rock, and said loudly: "It's decided , I want to become Hokage."

On the first day he lived alone, Naruto Uzumaki made a decision that would affect his life, even though he didn't even know what Hokage was at this time.

...

Just standing in front of the window and watching the people coming and going all afternoon, when the sun quietly set, his stomach protested on time.

Rubbing his stomach, Naruto's little face became bitter, and he took out some coins in his pocket. If he could save enough for him to eat a few meals, it would be the living expenses delivered on time every month. I heard that He is a member of the three generations of Hokage.

But these living expenses are not much.

Turning around and getting off the chair, his legs were already a little numb, he moved a few times and walked towards the door.

boom!

After closing the door, he went down the stairs. Even though he had money to eat, he didn't know where to eat. He just walked aimlessly on Konoha's main street. The small figure blends into the crowd, but it is so out of place. The more you walk in this kind of place, the more you feel a sense of loneliness that cannot be suppressed.

Finally, he changed his route and walked towards the silent river in the distance.

At dusk, a small figure walks along the river bank, the shadow stretches long, and as the breeze blows the green grass by the river, a sense of loneliness arises spontaneously.

At this moment, the young Naruto turned his head, and a figure entered his eyes.

It was a figure wearing a black robe, sitting leisurely by the river, holding a fishing rod in his hand, under the afterglow of the setting sun, this figure exuded a different kind of halo, Naruto froze in place, only feeling the other side It is incomparably harmonious and natural with the surroundings.

The other party didn't seem to notice his existence. With a slight swing of the pole, a fish was pulled up with its tail shaking. The figure took the fish off and put it into the river to release it.

It was also at this time that Naruto saw that the opponent's hook was actually straight.

This man is fishing with a straight hook...

The little tail of the new group number: 465501993

Chapter 1071 Riverside

Unknowingly, Naruto came to this person, but he didn't disturb him, because the fisherman in front of him was too focused, as if he was accomplishing a sacred thing. ∑ Magazine ∈ Bug ∑ Viewed from the side, this person is very young, probably in his twenties. Because he can only see the side, Naruto cannot determine his specific appearance.

In this way, on the riverside of Muye Village, a fisherman, a person who watched the fisherman fishing, just sat quietly until the sunset became lower and lower, and the night quietly fell.

During this period, Naruto watched in shock as he used a straight hook to catch different kinds of fish one after another in the river, and then released them casually.

Legend has it that this river leads all the way to the sea, together with the big waterfall in the Valley of the End, so there are many kinds of fish.

But Naruto couldn't understand anyway, how the other party used the straight hook to catch these fish, which is totally unreasonable.

Until the night completely enveloped the land, the man put away his fishing rod, seemed to have noticed Naruto beside him, and turned to look at him.

At this time, Naruto noticed his appearance. He was in his twenties, exuding an indescribable temperament, natural and harmonious.

"Hello." This was the first sentence the other party spoke, which made Naruto stunned.

In his short life, this was the first time someone greeted him like this.

"You... hello." Naruto got up quickly, and then explained: "I... I didn't intend to keep quiet, but I just saw that you were too serious about fishing and didn't make a sound to disturb you."

"I know." The fisherman smiled, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Lu Xuan, what's your name?"

"Naruto!" Naruto said subconsciously, "Uzumaki Naruto!"

Then Naruto came back to his senses and said, "Lu Xuan... Uncle, you are really good at fishing. This is the first time I saw someone catch fish with a straight hook. How did you do it?"

Because he was not sure about the identity of the other party, and whether the other party would be disgusted by his identity as a "demon fox", Naruto hesitated when calling him uncle, and quickly looked at the other party's reaction. After seeing that the other party didn't have any strange expressions, he was slightly relieved.

"This..." Xuan shook the fishing rod, "Actually, it's not a difficult skill, do you want to learn... I'll teach you."

His words were very flat, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.

However, Naruto's eyes widened in an instant, and he asked in surprise, "Can I really learn?"

A touch surged in his heart. For the first time, someone took the initiative to greet him and chat with him in such a non-discriminatory tone. For the first time, someone took the initiative to teach him something.

Although he didn't know what the purpose of this straight hook fishing was, he subconsciously believed that it must be a very powerful technique.

Gollum...

However, at this moment, Naruto's stomach let out a cry of hunger.

The corner of Xuan's mouth curled into a smile and said, "It looks like you're hungry, but it's getting late, it's indeed time for dinner, so how about I treat you to grilled fish?"

As he said that, without waiting for Naruto's reply, he threw the fishing rod into the river again, and soon after, a fat white fish was caught, but this time, he did not release it again.

...

On the riverside, a bonfire was raised, and a fat white fish was grilled on the fire, and the smell of the fish was overflowing.

After a while, Naruto picked up the grilled fish and began to bite into it. This is the most delicious fish he has ever eaten, although he has only eaten fish two or three times this year.

The most important thing is that this is the first time he has met someone who is willing to communicate with him on an equal footing, which makes him feel a warm feeling.

"Eat slowly, there are more here." Xuan smiled and put another fish on the fire.

After eating the fish in one go, Naruto patted his stomach, lay down on the grass and said, "I'm so full... I don't want to move anymore."

Xuan couldn't help laughing dumbfounded, looking up, the sky full of stars had already appeared, and the starlight accompanied by the moonlight dyed the lake surface into a sparkling color, like a dream.

The scenery of this river is good. Usually at this time, there will be Muye villagers coming for a walk after dinner, but today I don’t know why, until now I haven’t seen anyone coming.

Fortunately, Naruto was young, so he didn't notice these minor details...

"By the way, Naruto, won't your parents be worried if you don't go back so late?" Xuan said suddenly at this moment.

Naruto sat up, his expression suddenly darkened, and he said in a low voice, "I... I don't have parents."

Xuan didn't ask any more questions, and was silent for a while.
