Chapter 2: He is a Competent Brother

"Are you really my brother?"

On the road, a big and a small figure walked together. When he turned back, the little eyes that met Sato Akira's suddenly dropped. Although it was only a moment, Sato Akira still saw the little hope in that look, and the deeper fear that almost occupied everything. Afraid that all this was fake?

Before Sato Akira could answer, the voice rang again.

"They all call me a demon fox, saying that I am an orphan, and everyone in the village hates me."

"I think... a child like me is not worthy of having relatives! So..."

Naruto looked up and tried his best to meet Sato Akira's eyes, reluctantly saying:

"Brother, you are fake, you are here to tease me, right?"

You are here to tease me. Right?

When he said this, he was laughing, although the smile was very reluctant, but he was still laughing. The sunshine of his smile.

"I am the man who will become the Hokage, such tricks can't fool me!"

This is the stubbornness of a three-year-old child. It's a pity that all this is true! It's really true.

So, Sato Akira did not hesitate and directly grabbed Naruto's ear, pretending to be angry and said:

"Stupid, what are you thinking about again!"

"It hurts, it hurts, let go!"

Sato Akira let go, stretched out his palm and placed it on Naruto's head, rubbing it hard a few times, and in the same tone said again.

"My foolish brother!"

"I'm not stupid! I'm..."

"But you are the man who wants to become Hokage, right? Hahaha!"

On the streets of Konoha, the big one carried the small one on his back and walked slowly. The setting sun cast a brilliant light, and this scene was a rare warmth.

However, along the way, Naruto on Sato Akira's back was not at ease, and kept asking questions.

"Brother, why did you come back now?"

"I came to perform a mission outside."

"Oh, brother, are you a ninja?"

"Yeah."

"Brother, are you strong?"

"Brother, will you protect me?"

"Brother, when you are not around, Naruto is so scared, so scared, so scared."

After all, he is still young, only three years old. After chattering for a while, the young Naruto finally fell asleep on Sato Akira's back. Sleeping extraordinarily soundly.

Sato Akira recalled Naruto's words in his mind and couldn't calm down for a long time. Three years old. While other children were still enjoying their childhood happily, his younger brother had such an experience. After seeing his brother, he would still doubt whether someone was teasing him? Has such a thing happened before?

Anger burned in Sato Akira's chest for a long time.

Naruto, please rest assured, your brother will definitely protect you! Definitely!

Naruto's place is a distance away from the park. Sato Akira walked very slowly on the road. He didn't want to wake up Naruto who had just fallen asleep, even though he was sleeping soundly. But Sato Akira didn't want any accidents. Not at all.

Not long after walking, many figures appeared on the road. A dozen children blocked the road and stopped Sato Akira.

"Put down the demon fox!"

"Bringing the demon fox into the village, could it be that you are an accomplice of the demon fox?"

"Look at him, he doesn't look like a good person!"

The leading child took a stone from somewhere and threw it directly at Sato Akira and the others.

"Kill him! Kill the accomplice of this demon fox!"

A large stone was thrown in an arc in the air and was held in Sato Akira's hand. He exerted force.

Bang.

The stone broke. Sato Akira raised his hand and drew out the long sword worn at his waist. The tip of the sword pointed forward, reflecting a pale little face. He did not speak, but walked forward slowly.

"Don't, don't come over here!"

Seeing this, the children were almost scared to death. On the way back, one of them slipped and fell to the ground. He looked at Sato Akira with fear in his eyes.

The next moment.

A figure wearing a dog-head mask appeared in front of the child.

"You've gone too far!"

Anbu.

Sato Akira raised his eyebrows, "Have you cleaned up?"

This Anbu was naturally the one who appeared in Naruto's house and was ordered by Sato Akira to clean up the house.

After hearing Sato Akira's words, the Anbu was also angry. However, when he noticed the cold light on Sato Akira's sword, he could only hold back his anger and nodded.

"Then I'll spare your life, don't let it happen again."

After saying that, Sato Akira no longer paid attention to the Anbu, but just looked at the group of children behind the Anbu and turned the direction of the sword.

Swish! It fell directly to the ground, and most of the sword body sank into the ground.

The Anbu saw it and his heart jumped. He had overestimated the person in front of him as much as possible, but he found that he still underestimated it. Looking at Sato Akira, who was a head shorter than him, he was secretly shocked. Is he really just a child?

Sato Akira, eight years old this year.

"I have a bad temper, so if someone bullies my brother again, the next time the sword pierces his body, it will be his body."

He drew his sword and grinned.

"Don't think I'm joking, unless you want to be a dead man."

No one dared to answer, and the scene was extremely quiet.

The long sword returned to its sheath. Sato Akira, who was about to leave, suddenly found another figure on the road. He raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to dance too?"

The Anbu also looked over when he heard the voice, and when he saw the person clearly, he murmured in a low voice:

"Uchiha."

In front of Sato Akira, there were also two figures, one big and one small. The big one carried the small one on his back. Uchiha Itachi, and his brother, Uchiha Sasuke.

Facing Sato Akira's words, Itachi shook his head.

"I am also a brother."

I am also a brother. So, I understand how you feel. If someone bullies my brother, he will not let him go either.

Sato Akira nodded, observing the genius boy of the Uchiha family up close for the first time. This boy who was able to think about life with the mindset of a Hokage at the age of seven, and who worked hard for the village and family. A person who obviously liked sweets but had suffered all his life.

However, Itachi was only eight years old at this time. According to the original work, at most he had just opened his Sharingan. But for Sato Akira, none of this mattered. After his parents passed away, the only important thing was Naruto. He didn't care about things that had nothing to do with Naruto.

Sato Akira took a step forward. When passing Itachi and Sasuke, Sato Akira suddenly spoke:

"If you really love your brother, try to believe in him and his abilities, instead of constantly arranging a path for him."

When Itachi heard this, his body trembled noticeably. When he came back to his senses and wanted to say something, Sato Akira had already left with Naruto on his back.

Itachi fell silent. After a moment, Sasuke, who was curled up on Itachi's back, raised his little head.

"Niisan, who is that man?"

"Him? He is a competent brother."

Itachi turned around and looked at Sasuke on his back lovingly.

"What, Niisan, I'm not asking that at all! I'm asking, is that person strong?"

"Very strong." Itachi showed a rare solemn look.

"The moment he drew his sword, I even felt that I would die under his sword."

"How could it be? Niisan is the strongest!" Sasuke's eyes were full of confusion.

However, fortunately, he was young and Sasuke soon forgot about it. After a moment, he looked at his brother with some excitement.

"Niisan, practice with me for a while!"

"Next time, Sasuke!"

"Same again!"

"Forgive me, Sasuke!"

Itachi turned around and gently tapped Sasuke's forehead with his fingers.

"Next time."
