Chapter 280 The "me" in this world has no parents?
As Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Hiruzen Sarutobi successively expressed their choice of Naruto, their unique chibi-style avatars appeared one after another next to the Naruto option on the screen.
The final selection is just one crucial vote away.
The atmosphere in the entire audience instantly became subtle and tense.
All eyes involuntarily turned to Sakura, who had not yet made a formal statement.
Sakura felt the invisible pressure, and a conflicted and struggling expression appeared on her face.
Her gaze swept back and forth among the crowd.
Sasuke had a cold expression ever since Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped Sakura from voting rashly.
He was frowning, looking displeased.
Sakura is going through a fierce internal struggle.
"I really want to help Naruto fulfill his wish! He longs to see his mother so much! Sasuke chose Aunt Kushina for that reason, right? But—Kakashi-sensei, Jiraiya-sama, and the Third Hokage also have a point—"
[Ding! Sakura Haruno's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
Just then.
"hehe."
An enigmatic, cold laugh came from the other side of the audience.
Obito, who had been observing coldly, slowly raised his hand and said casually, "Since it's so hard to choose, then don't choose at all."
"Let me be kind and help you make a decision."
"I'll choose Naruto Uzumaki too."
The moment the words fell.
Ding!
A crisp notification sound rang out.
Obito's chibi-style avatar wearing a tiger-striped mask immediately appeared next to the "Naruto Uzumaki" option.
The vote was reached with four votes.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
Fireworks suddenly exploded on the screen, and rousing, joyful celebratory music resounded throughout the audience.
A line of dazzling gold text froze in the center of the screen, announcing the final result.
[Congratulations! Character selected: Naruto Uzumaki!]
Stay tuned!
As the large golden characters appeared, the screen gradually darkened.
This means that the dream is about to come to an end.
This unexpected vote left Sakura and Sasuke both with undisguised astonishment.
Neither of them expected that the mysterious masked man would make the final decision.
Sasuke's brows furrowed slightly.
He suddenly realized that this cowardly fellow was the mastermind behind the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage back then.
No wonder he intervened to stop Aunt Kushina from arriving.
He naturally couldn't allow the powerful Kushina and Minato Namikaze to come to this world.
Once Sasuke understood this, a surge of anger and frustration welled up inside him.
hateful!
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
He had originally thought that Naruto would finally be able to see his mother—
However, due to the concerns of the people from Konoha and the interference of the enemy, their efforts were in vain.
Sasuke couldn't help but glance in the direction of the elders of Konoha, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction.
What a rare opportunity this is!
Just as Sasuke was feeling indignant, the black Zetsu in his sleeve caught the boy's emotional fluctuations.
"Hehe, kid, you already know who your enemy is."
1
What does that mean?
Isn't his enemy that counterfeit product?
Sasuke frowned even more upon hearing this.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
However, before he could ask any further questions...
The surrounding scenery had begun to blur and distort.
The dream has ended.
The next morning, in Konoha Village.
On the bed, Naruto lay sprawled out, fast asleep.
His lips were glistening with drool, and he looked as if he was still lost in a sweet dream.
In his sleep, Naruto smacked his lips and unconsciously turned over.
He habitually stretched out his arm and put it to the side, as if he wanted to hug the blanket.
-
but----
"Um?
'
Naruto, half-asleep, felt something was off about the touch.
The fingertips didn't touch the soft bedding, but rather a warm and elastic sensation, it seemed to be—
human body?!
This strange occurrence jolted Naruto awake.
His sleepiness vanished instantly, startled awake.
He suddenly leaped off the bed, his movement so forceful that he tumbled off and landed heavily on the floor with a thud.
Wow!!!
Naruto ignored the pain and stared wide-eyed at the thing on the bed in front of him that he had just touched and that was now moving because of his movement.
To his surprise, there was someone lying on his bed!
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
The person was curled up in bed, and the head that was sticking out was covered with short, golden hair just like Naruto's.
"W-What's going on?!"
For a moment, Naruto wondered if he was still half asleep.
He rubbed his eyes hard and looked again.
That's right, there really is another Naruto lying in my bed!
Moreover, after his shout, Naruto on the bed seemed to be disturbed and was slowly sitting up from under the covers.
Naruto, who was being stared at, shook his head and slowly opened his sleepy eyes.
However, when his self-light focused on Naruto under the bed, who was pointing at him with a look of utter disbelief, a look of utter astonishment and confusion instantly appeared on the face of the dream Naruto.
The two locked eyes, and an eerie silence fell over the room for a moment.
Naruto in his dream on the bed frowned, but didn't yell or scream like the real Naruto.
Instead, after waking up, he quickly scanned his surroundings; the room looked both familiar and strange.
In his dream, Naruto muttered in confusion, "This doesn't seem to be my room—"
He didn't act rashly, his mind racing as he analyzed the current situation.
Naruto on the ground finally came to his senses. After recovering from his shock, a surge of anger at having his territory invaded rushed into his mind.
"You bastard!"
He scrambled to his feet, hands on his hips, furious, and pointed at the uninvited guest on the bed, shouting hoarsely, "This is my room! My bed! What are you? How dare you disguise yourself as me and sneak into my bed?!"
"You despicable imposter, just you wait!"
Faced with Naruto's angry questioning in reality, the dream Naruto on the bed frowned but did not argue or retaliate.
Because the moment he woke up, he had subconsciously used the sensory ninjutsu his mother had taught him.
An invisible sense of perception instantly spread out, silently enveloping the entire room.
In particular, I took a deep breath and examined myself from head to toe, feeling the loud and boisterous person I was in front of me.
However, the result greatly shocked Naruto in his dream world.
The chakra aura of the guy in front of me is exactly the same as mine!
How is this possible?!
Even more incredibly, there was a type of chakra in the other person's chakra that was very similar to his mother's.
What's going on with this noisy self?
Why does he possess the same chakra as me, yet also carry my mother's aura?
Just as Naruto's mind was racing in his dream, the door to his room was suddenly pushed open from the outside with a bang!
"Naruto! What's wrong?!"
Before the person could be seen, their voice came hurriedly.
A girl with a full head of red hair stood at the door, her red eyes filled with worry.
She was wearing a light-colored apron with the Konoha Village logo and holding a spatula in her hand, clearly having rushed over after hearing Naruto's shouts.
She rushed into the room, panting, looking around nervously. "I think I heard you shouting something about an imposter. What happened?"
Her words came to an abrupt halt, stuck in her throat, unable to escape.
[Ding! Xiang's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
Because the scene before them was simply too illogical.
Xiang's eyes widened as she quickly scanned the room.
"Two, two—Narutos?!"
Xiang completely lost her composure, standing dumbfounded at the door, her mouth slightly agape, almost big enough to fit an entire egg.
Meanwhile, Naruto, in his dream state on the bed, also noticed the sudden intrusion of Xiang.
His previously calm expression clearly showed a hint of surprise when he saw who it was.
However, despite the turmoil in his heart, he remained calm.
Naruto in his dream nodded slightly and smiled gently, "Kana-san? Do you know what's going on here?"
"Karin-san?"
Xiang looked completely bewildered.
She noticed that the way Naruto spoke in bed naturally conveyed respect and politeness.
In a flash, Xiang Dian seemed to remember something.
In real life, Naruto is never this serious.
This guy always calls her Xiangjiang in a very casual way, and sometimes when they have a disagreement, he'll add some rude nicknames like "violent woman," never calling her Xiangsan in a serious manner.
Moreover, the calm and composed demeanor of Naruto on the bed in front of her, and the dignified politeness he exuded—all these details were completely different from the Naruto she knew.
After a brief moment of surprise, Xiang suddenly clapped her hands and exclaimed in realization, "Ah, I understand!"
She abruptly pushed up her glasses, striking a pose as confident as a master detective solving a case. Excitedly, she pointed at the dream version of Naruto on the bed, then turned to the still-angry Naruto beside her and shouted, "Naruto! He's not an imposter, he's—you from the dream!"
As a long-time viewer, an insider, and Tsunade's apprentice, Kaori also knew about Nawaki's situation.
Upon hearing this, Naruto in the real world stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "Me in a dream?!"
"Really?!"
Naruto scratched his head, unable to resist his curiosity, and began to carefully examine the dream world on the bed.
"Tsk tsk—looking closely, it really does seem to be that pretentious guy!"
He observed and exclaimed in amazement.
Once Naruto confirmed that the person on the bed was indeed exactly the same as himself in his dream, his initial anger turned into excitement, like discovering a new toy.
"Feed"
Faced with reality, Naruto's observation was almost rude, like watching monkeys in a zoo.
Sitting upright on the bed, Naruto in his dream world twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth. Even he couldn't help but feel helpless and uncomfortable being watched so rudely by another version of himself.
He suppressed the slight displeasure rising within him and tried his best to maintain a polite smile, until the other Naruto was about to poke his cheek with his finger—
Naruto in his dream finally couldn't hold back anymore.
"cough."
He cleared his throat lightly and got out of bed.
At this moment, the two were very close. After standing up straight, the dream Naruto found that he was half a head taller than the real Naruto.
This detail caused a strange glint to flash in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, his gaze sweeping over Naruto and Kaori before finally settling back on the room he was in.
"Excuse me—can anyone tell me what's going on here? Where exactly is this place?"
After he finished speaking, the room fell silent again.
Kaori and Naruto exchanged a glance.
Xiang was the first to react, and she said excitedly, "Finally! Naruto, quick, tell him what happened!"
'
"Oh, oh!" Naruto also came to his senses and nodded repeatedly.
He glanced at the dream version of Naruto, then at Xiang, scratched his head, and said, "This—it's a long story, we'll explain it to you slowly!"
After half an hour.
Naruto's home.
In the living room, the three sat around the dining table.
A simple and delicious breakfast was laid out on the table.
At this moment, Naruto in his dream had already put down his chopsticks.
He stood upright, his movements fluid and natural, picking up a neatly folded napkin from the side and gently wiping the corner of his mouth.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Xiangsang. The breakfast was delicious."
"Oh, no, it's nothing, no need to be so polite."
Xiang was a little embarrassed by his sudden and formal thanks, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she quickly waved her hand.
She secretly glanced at the real Naruto next to her, who was now bored after eating and poking the rim of his empty bowl with his chopsticks, making a clinking sound. She couldn't help but marvel at the difference between the two Narutos once again.
One is polite, calm, and restrained; the other is carefree, restless, and always fidgeting.
They look exactly alike, but their personalities are almost completely different.
However, in Kagura's perception, the two were not fundamentally different.
The only difference is that the real Naruto has some other chakra traits.
Naruto's gaze swept over Xiang's face in his dream, he smiled slightly, and then placed his hands on the table in a folded manner.
"So, according to your explanation, I can understand that I was summoned to this world from another world, and will only stay here for about a day, right?"
His expression was concise, accurate, and logically clear.
What's even more astonishing is that when he recounted this unbelievable event, there was not a trace of shock or panic on his face.
Xiang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's it!"
She had barely finished speaking when she couldn't help but tilt her head curiously and ask, "But—after hearing that, didn't you find it strange or scary at all? This isn't something that happens often!"
"Strange? Scared?"
Upon hearing this, Naruto in his dream blinked and gave a playful smile.
He gently shook his head and said, "Why? I can sense that what you are saying is true. Moreover, although the atmosphere of this world is very similar to the world I am familiar with, there are indeed differences in many subtle ways."
"This sense of difference has been there since the moment I woke up. So your explanations, ironically, give me an 'Ah, I see' feeling."
"However, I have reservations about you calling my world a dream, since from my perspective, that world is real."
Upon hearing this, Xiang opened her mouth, but was momentarily speechless, unsure of what to say next.
She thought that even if Naruto in his dream was calm, he would still show some surprise after such a bizarre encounter.
Unexpectedly, the other party accepted reality so calmly.
Looking at Naruto's composed face in the dream, Xiang felt only sincere admiration.
No wonder he's "someone else's Naruto"—calm under pressure and with exceptional analytical skills.
"Hmph! It's not good at all!"
Suddenly, Naruto, who had been sullen all along, finally couldn't hold back and exploded.
He let out a muffled groan, threw his chopsticks into his bowl, and then collapsed onto the table like a deflated pufferfish.
He slammed his head against the wooden table, making a loud noise.
"Naruto? What's wrong?"
Xiang was startled by his sudden action.
Naruto turned his head to one side, half his face pressed against the cold table, cheeks puffed out, glaring resentfully at the dream version of Naruto opposite him: "The last time Sasuke came to visit, it was his brother, Uchiha Itachi—"
Why is it that when it's my turn, it's not my dad or mom who comes, but me instead?!
"What's so great about me? I've seen plenty of people—this is so unfair!"
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
Seeing this, Xiang sighed helplessly, got up and walked to Naruto's side, gently patting his back to comfort him: "Naruto—about this—"
Xiang was at a loss for how to comfort Naruto, but the dream Naruto across the table did not show any displeasure or embarrassment.
He listened to Naruto's complaints with a smile, without interrupting.
But in the dream, a sharp glint flashed in Naruto's blue eyes.
Naruto and Kaori didn't hide anything from him just now.
In his dream, Naruto knew that he had no parents in this world.
