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.
Viewed from the side, this person is very young, in his twenties, because Naruto can only see the side, and Naruto cannot be sure of his specific appearance.
In this way, at the riverside of Konoha Village, an angler, and a person watching the angler fish, sat quietly until the sunset became lower and lower and the night fell quietly.
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 let them go.
Legend has it that this river always leads to the sea, together with the big waterfall in the End Valley, so there are many kinds of fish.
But Naruto couldn't understand in any case. How the other party used the straight hook to catch these fishes was completely unreasonable.
Until the night completely enveloped the earth, the man put away his fishing rod, as if he had noticed Naruto beside him, and turned his head to look at him.
At this time, Mingren noticed his appearance. He was in his twenties, and he exuded an indescribable temperament, natural and harmonious.
"Hello." This was the first sentence the other party said, and Naruto was taken aback.
In his short life, this was the first time someone greeted him like this.
"You... hello." Naruto quickly got up and said, and then explained: "I...I didn't mean to keep silent, I just saw you fishing too seriously and didn't bother."
"I know." The angler smiled, "Introduce myself, my name is Lu Xuan, what is your name."
"Naruto!" Naruto said subconsciously, "Naruto Uzumaki!"
Then Naruto came back to his senses and said: "Lu Xuan...Uncle, you are very good at fishing. The first time I saw someone catch a fish with a straight hook, how did he do it?"
Unsure of the other party's identity and whether the other party would be disgusted by his "demon fox" identity, Naruto hesitated when calling Uncle, and quickly looked at the opponent's reaction. After seeing that the other party didn't have any strange expressions, he let out a sigh of relief.
"This..." Xuan shook his fishing rod. "It's actually not a difficult technique, do you want to learn... I will teach you."
His words were very plain, as if they were telling a very common thing.
However, Naruto's eyes widened in an instant, and he was surprised: "Can I really learn?"
There was a feeling of emotion in his heart. For the first time, someone took the initiative to greet him and chatted with him in this non-discriminatory tone. For the first time, someone took the initiative to teach himself something.
Although he didn't know the use of this kind of straight hook fishing, he subconsciously thought that this must be a very powerful technique.
Guru...
However, at this moment, Naruto's stomach made a cry of hunger.
A smile appeared at the corner of Xuan's mouth and said, "It looks like you are hungry, but it's not too early. It is indeed time for dinner, so how about I invite you to eat grilled fish."
As he said, he didn't wait for Naruto's reply and threw the fishing rod into the river again. Soon after, a white fat fish was caught, but this time, it was not released.
...
On the riverside, a bonfire rose, and a plump white fish was grilled on the fire, and the fragrance of the fish was overflowing.
After a while, Naruto picked up the grilled fish and bit it. This is the most delicious fish he has ever eaten, although he has only eaten fish two or three times so far this year.
The most important thing is that this is the first time he meets 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 breath, Naruto patted his stomach and lay on the grass and said: "So full... I don't want to move."
Xuan couldn't help laughing dumbly. He looked up and saw that the sky full of stars had appeared, and the starlight accompanied by moonlight dyed the lake into a sparkling color, like a dream.
The scenery of this river is good. Generally, at such times, villagers from Konoha come to take a walk after dinner, but I don’t know what to do today, and I haven’t seen anyone here until now.
Fortunately, Naruto was young and didn't notice the strangeness of these details.
"By the way, Naruto, won't your parents worry if you don't go back so late?" Xuan said suddenly at this moment.
Naruto sat up, his expression dimmed fiercely, and said in a low voice: "I...I have no parents."
Xuan didn't question any more, and was somewhat silent for a while.
Naruto obviously didn't like this kind of atmosphere, and smiled at Xuan cheerfully: "But I'm used to it. Don't think I am young now, but I am very good, and I can live well by myself."
"Yes, I believe it." Xuan smiled and said, he had no doubt about this.
Naruto touched his head and laughed twice, obviously very happy to be praised, "By the way, Uncle Lu Xuan, are you Konoha's ninja?"
Unexpectedly, the other party would suddenly ask such a question, Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then raised his gaze and looked towards the direction of Hokage Rock.
After a while, he whispered: "Well, it used to be."
"Once?" Xiao Naruto asked in confusion, not understanding why the other party said that, but he continued to ask with a smile, "Then Uncle Naruto must be a very powerful and famous ninja, how does it compare to Grandpa Naruto? My dream is to become Hokage."
Xuan smiled and said softly, "Ah, it was once famous, but now there are not many people who know me."
Since the Battle of the End Valley, Konoha has deliberately weakened the influence of the Uchiha clan, and from the beginning of Senjuka, he has focused on publicizing the achievements of the first generation of Hokage. As for Uchiha Madara and Uchihagen, they deliberately abandoned them in a corner of history.
At this time, those who could know the names of the three gods were all powerful men in the ninja world. As for Konoha's ordinary villagers, and even those middle and lower ninjas, they were only unfamiliar with these two names.
"Eh?" Naruto scratched his head. He is too young to understand the specific meaning of this, but it seems that Uncle Lu Xuan has many stories.
"By the way, Naruto, why do you want to be Hokage."
