One Punch Naruto

Chapter 139 You are my angel

"Although Lord Hokage died, he died to protect the village from being destroyed by Orochimaru. Although he sacrificed his life, he successfully stopped Orochimaru's ambitions, so I think he must be very happy." Sakura looked at Xiang Lian's sad look and comforted her.

"He certainly didn't want us to be immersed in the sadness of his death. After all, the deceased is gone, and those of us who are alive should continue to work hard."

But after listening to Xiao Ying's words, the disappointment on Xiang Ling's face was still not relieved, and on the contrary, it was getting worse.

Sakura was a little confused. She thought to herself: "It's not that exaggerated, is it? This sad look is almost comparable to that of Naruto. Is the affinity aura of the Third Hokage so terrifying? I have only met him a few times. My face, I was so deeply affected."

But then she realized that it was entirely her own fault.

I saw Xiang Ling shaking his head and saying: "Sakura, in fact, although Lord Hokage is very good to me, not only agreed to let me stay in Konoha, but also asked me to teach me ninjutsu, but to me, he is nothing more than It’s just a stranger.”

"Although I don't quite understand it, the reason why he treats me so well is because of my status as a member of the Uzumaki clan, right?"

"Similarly, Lord Hokage asked me to learn the sealing technique, probably because he wants me to do something that only people from the Uzumaki clan can do, right?"

Although Xiang Lian is only twelve years old, she is not stupid, and because of her tragic experience as a child, she is much more mature than her peers. She is especially sensitive to her identity as a Uzumaki clan. After all, this is what led to the tragic death of her mother. source.

When Kakashi faced Akashi Kazuto before, his initial attitude was to hand her over, but when Kakashi learned that she was a member of the Uzumaki clan, he changed his previous attitude.

Later, when Kakashi took her to see the Third Hokage, Koro discovered that the other party also agreed to let her stay in Konoha after repeatedly asking her about her experience and confirming her identity as a Uzumaki clan.

Otherwise, the Third Hokage would have handed her over to Akashi Kazuto to take her away to avoid conflict with the Kusanagi Village, right?

Moreover, when the Third Hokage sent someone to teach her ninjutsu later, he did not ask her opinion and directly chose to let her practice the sealing technique. Although he later explained the reason to Xianglan, saying that the sealing technique was the most suitable for her, but Xianglan Phosphorus still saw a sense of urgency in him.

"Hokage-sama, he is the same as the people in the Grass Ninja Village. They are all coveting my abilities, but his method is more humane and different from the forced method of the Grass Ninja Village."

"I think he wants me to do what he wants me to do willingly in the future, right?"

"Perhaps one of the necessary conditions for doing that thing is that I have to be willing. Otherwise, Hokage-sama's attitude towards me may not be much better than that of the people in the Grass Ninja Village back then, right?"

For Xiang Phosphorus, who has seen the ugliness of human nature since she was a child, she has never been afraid to think of others with the worst possible malice.

Xiang Ling said and shook his head again: "So, although Lord Hokage is dead, I don't have much sad emotions."

"That's right." Sakura nodded. She was a little surprised. She didn't expect that a child could be so keenly aware of the real reason why the Third Hokage was so good to her.

But then Sakura had more doubts in her heart, and she asked: "If this is the case, then why are you still looking so sad?"

Xiang Ling lowered his eyes and said, "I'm like this just because I feel guilty."

Sakura was confused: "Guilt?"

Xiang Phosphorus nodded: "Yeah."

She said with a sense of guilt: "What I feel guilty about is that although Lord Hokage treats me so well because he wants to take advantage of me, he is indeed very kind to me."

"But when the teacher told me that Hokage-sama died and asked me to attend the funeral, although I felt a little sad, I was even more happy."

"Because I think, as a ninja of Konoha, Sakura will definitely attend the funeral of Lord Hokage, right?"

"In that case, if I also decide to attend the funeral, I can see Sakura again."

Xiang Lian raised her eyes and looked at Sakura. Her eyes were bright: "When I thought of this, all the sadness caused by the death of Hokage disappeared. All that was left was to be able to see Sakura. The joy it brings.”

Sakura's eyes widened. She was a little at a loss. It turned out that she had thought completely wrong. If the other party showed sadness, was it actually because of herself?

She stammered a little and said: "But...but, Xiang Phosphorus, we have only met once, haven't we? According to you, to you, no... I am also a stranger? Why? …”

"Of course it's different!" Before Sakura could finish her words, she was rudely interrupted by Xiang Phosphorus.

She said loudly: "For me, in my heart, Sakura is the most important, because Sakura is the only one who is truly good to me."

"Whether it's Naruto, Mr. Kakashi, or Mr. Hokage, although they have all protected me and treated me well, it's just because I am a member of the Uzumaki clan. If it weren't for this, They must not even look at me, right?"

Xiang Ling looked at Sakura, his face softened, with a smile: "Only Sakura is not like this, Xiao Sakura helped me simply because she sympathized with my experience, and did not want to take advantage of my identity as a Uzumaki clan member. .”

"Because when we met in the Death Forest, Sakura didn't even know that I was a member of the Uzumaki clan, but you still saved me without hesitation."

"At that time, those two guys, Ibuki and Kuito, completely ignored me as their companion and wanted to use me as their bait."

"At that time, I thought I was already dead."

"But just when I was desperate, Sakura suddenly appeared like a dream. Not only did she protect me, but she also killed the two bastards who bullied me."

"Sakura's appearance is as if the gods in the dark world really heard my prayers."

"During the whole process of being rescued, I felt as if I was in a dream and couldn't believe it. I even thought that maybe this was just my own fantasy and that I might wake up in the next second."

"Because I think such incredible scenes can only appear in dreams, right?"

"So, for me, you are the only one who is completely different from the others."

Xiang Ling looked at Sakura with eyes full of happiness, and she whispered softly: "Because in my mind, Sakura, you are the angel sent by God to save me."
