2 Chapter 2: Old Friends
In order to confirm the current time, Naruto tidied up a bit and came to the street to carefully observe Konoha. However, the malice from the pedestrians, whether instinctive or deliberate, made him feel very uncomfortable and even nauseous.
The evil of the human heart is even worse than the remnants of the demon!
Fortunately, Naruto's perception has weakened and he won't feel this evil too clearly. Despite his diminished perception, he retained the ability to discern the good and evil thoughts of others, rather than returning to his previous self.
Having strong perception is not necessarily a good thing. Being more sensitive to kindness will make you feel a more beautiful world. Being more sensitive to malice will make you clearly feel the malice from the whole world.
And now, the malice of the villagers in the village is enough to make Naruto feel very troubled. This kind of malice is too strong, it's like countless black hands want to pull him into a deep abyss.
This feeling is really uncomfortable
What's even more terrifying is the contrast!
Naruto has just returned from Teyvat, and he hasn't even had time to forget the faces of his friends and family, and hasn't forgotten their final blessings when he set off on his journey.
But the more he remembers these, the more he can recall that kind of warm and sunny kindness in the past, the more he will feel this malice disgusting, and it will be harder for him to rise up to Konoha village that should have belonged to him. He only feels that this place is strange, like a strange hell.
...
Why do they treat me like this?
Should I really bear all this?
Are they plotting something?
Naruto's current feeling is as if he has eaten too much mountain delicacies and seafood in Teyvat, but after returning to Konoha, only to be surrounded by ordinary, biased villagers and their stupid mind. He can't even stand the sight of them,. He doesn't want to say a word with those prejudiced villagers at all, or even contact them for an extra second.
The former Naruto could bear malice because he did not have a complete worldview and did not have his own correct values. He took humble flattery for granted. Even if he was bullied by others, he just smiled and then endured silently. He always felt that he had a chance and could be accepted by others if he worked harder.
Contrary to this, constantly retreating and seeking to please everyone will not improve his situation. Instead, it will only deepen the disdain of those who already dislike him, potentially making matters worse.
Think about it carefully...
His former posture of wanting to please and change against others' targeting and humiliation was really humble and pitiful. It was like a lost puppy who could be kicked by anyone. He was kicked dirty and dirty so that no one wanted to take him in or get close.
Now, the former puppy has grown up and become a mighty lion.
...
"Remember what mom said, stay away from that kid or it will be dangerous."
"Here it comes again, it's really bad luck."
"It's better for that kid to die."
With his extraordinary hearing, Naruto heard those villagers' whispers heard those dirty and filthy words heard those curses and curses.
Actually there is another possibility...
Naruto can hear these not because of his keen hearing, but because people are too lazy to curse behind his back and do it directly in front of him, even openly expressing their contempt to their children.
If it were him before going to Teyvat, he would cry and wonder why this was happening. He had done nothing wrong, so why were people treating him this way? How could he change all of this?
Without parental guidance and relief he can only do some pranks in his own way trying to attract other people's attention with this let them understand him more see his sunny heart so as not to target him so maliciously anymore.
But...
His approach is wrong, it won't be of any help but will instead lead to more trouble.
Naruto carries the weight of painful memories deep within his heart. Upon his arrival in Teyvat's world, he grapples with fear and hesitation, uncertain about how to interact with people in this unfamiliar realm. Fortunately, he finds his way back to his place of origin.
He is a sunny and kind child whose brilliant soul has been discovered and praised by people. Naruto also met that man like a father in Teyvat's world... Morax.
After continuous attempts and learning Naruto finally mastered the power of wind elements and the first whisper of wind elements was. People who are favored by wind all have unpleasant pasts and once now with the blessing of wind live happily freely become new ones yourself!
So Heavenly Fox of the Red Sage was born!
...
Naruto looked at the other side of the street where there were two girls who looked very familiar one with pink long hair and another with golden long hair.
He felt somewhat familiar, past memories gradually emerged in his mind two extremely ancient names were gradually remembered by him.
They are... Sakura and Ino?
Say hello!
Naruto cheered up showed a sunny and refreshing smile slowly raised his hand and opened his mouth.
Before he could speak, Sakura had turned away, acting like she didn't know him. Ino, on the other hand, just frowned slightly and mimicked Sakura's actions with a subtle wave of her hand.
It's a bit embarrassing it seems I'm not very popular right?
But I felt Ino's kindness. Although she ignored me like everyone else she still waved her hand secretly. This silent kindness is also interesting.
She is the first person in this world to give me kindness. I will remember it firmly.
Naruto sighed softly, his face showing a mix of resignation and relief. Though he wasn't popular, at least he wasn't completely unpopular.
Isn't Ino still there?
It's better than no one has any kindness to me...
I'm really miserable now!
Soon a black-haired boy came out from the shop on the other side holding a bag of training bandages naturally showing a cold and arrogant expression as if he was not the same as other children at all.
"Sasuke!"
"Sasuke-kun!"
Sakura and Ino shouted excitedly their eyes also shining brightly completely opposite to the gloom when looking at Naruto that proactive look seemed to be able to stick on at any time.
"Humph, don't bother me."
Sasuke casually remarked before smoothly sliding his hand into his pocket and walking towards the training ground. He couldn't be bothered to spare another glance for the two individuals, as he firmly believed they were on an entirely different level in his heart.
He is an avenger who needs to work harder!
Then kill that man!
"Ah~!"
"Sasuke~"
Sakura and Ino were not frustrated by Sasuke's cold attitude but liked him even more because they just liked such Sasuke.
"Ah, I really envy him."
Naruto sighed his expression was still helpless but his helplessness contained an inexplicable pride and self-confidence. He seemed to firmly believe that he could do better and get more.
But Naruto still had questions. Why did people treat him so differently in other worlds? Was it all because of the world itself?
But in another world, he had the guidance and protection of Morax. Since childhood, Morax taught him how to use weapons to defend himself, how to uphold his principles, and how to transcend himself through faith.
And in Ninja World he has nothing...
