The minions of Xadano
* - "No !! Let go of me !! My parents are still in the village and are fighting !!" The little blond boy screamed as hard as I could, but the soldiers from Lyiziel would not let themselves be spoken to. They carried him far away from the burning village, so that after a short time only a light, reddish glow could be seen through the dark night. Mother, father!!!! - *
"NO !!" Naruto's breathing was quick and erratic when he woke up from his nightmare and understood that he was safe behind the thick city walls of Hijate. The blond young man sighed and wrapped his arms around his stomach. A dream, everything just a dream, Naruto told himself and let his sleepy gaze slide through his little wooden hut in which he lived. He rubbed his lazy eyes with the palm of his hand and walked up unsteadily in the direction of the kitchen, crouched down and rummaged in a cupboard for something edible, which he did not find. As a carpenter's apprentice you don't earn that much that you can always buy food, no matter how much your stomach growled. You couldn't change that at the moment and that meant going to work on an empty stomach. He went through his hut and closed the heavy wooden door. The air blowing towards him smelled rotten and of excretions. No wonder, because, in the poor parts of the city, all residents threw their chamber pots directly on the street.
Naruto leaned the door against the door frame with an annoying squeak, sighed and ran, very close to the houses, so as not to step into "digested food". There was one disadvantage, however, and the blonde really felt that. “Attention, down there.” With a loud clap, content also loaded onto his head. The yellowish broth ran down his face and dripped onto the floor. "You clumsy! Look how you look now!" A woman, in her 40s, looked out of the opening of her house, which was on the first floor of the house. Naruto didn't care what Alexandra Gries, the "good woman" was called, thought of him. With a bang she closed the window and drew the old, brown curtains in front of it. Naruto stared at the closed window for a few minutes longer before he realized that he would be late for work. Even without stopping at the city fountain. But who likes going to work with that smell? Some might do this, but Naruto was not one of them, and in order not to waste more time, he ran to the fountain.
The dry sand under his soles cracked with every step Naruto took. The old houses rushed past the blond boy, as did the people. A young man with brown hair and a beard stepped out of a small bakery and looked around. However, he did this too slowly and could no longer avoid Naruto, who collided with him at top speed. The rolls flew up and landed next to the two young men."Au ... ey, can't you be careful, you stupid child?" said this irascible, stood up and patted the sand from his clothes. He picked up the basket with the leftover rolls, put the others on the floor and picked up the remaining rolls. Instead of helping Naruto, he went back to the bakery, from which it switched loudly shortly afterwards. Why was he treated like he was ... dirt? A worthless unclean? More impure? That means something like outcast sage, whose life ends on the gallows anyway, with whom one must not be nice. It was best not to consider the person.
Naruto got up and went to the fountain. He was right there anyway. Two women brought a bucket of water to the surface and filled it into small wooden canisters. When the first woman with the bucket disappeared, he went to the well and took out water, but a lot in the bucket over the stone edge, back to the bottom of the well. "Not that too." he whispered and started pulling the chain again to make the bucket come up. However, the bucket slipped out of his hand again. Another female hand was still holding it, so that only a little water sloshed out. Astonished, Naruto looked at the person next to him before his facial features relaxed and transformed into a smile. "Hinata!" said Naruto smiles. This grinned briefly embarrassed and lifted the bucket. “Bend down, please.” Naruto did so before Hinata let the cool fountain water run down his back.
"Naruto, hold on to this." Franco said and pointed to the wooden board under Naruto's fingers. "Yes!" he said and did as he was told. "Naruto. You did your work very carefully today." said Naruto's master and gave Naruto a short smile. Franco's attention was then only on the wooden board that he began to sand it. “You can go now.” Naruto was amazed. It didn't happen every day. "Thanks master." said Naruto and opened the wooden door, from which he then stepped and then locked it behind him.
Naruto walked slowly, at a snail's pace, to the market square where there was a market every day. The young man walked past the stalls where apples and all kinds of things were displayed. “Hey you!” Naruto turned in the direction where the voice was coming from. "Do you mean me?" the blonde asked curiously. A man with white hair waved to him at the booth. “Yes, come closer.” The person addressed did the same and went to the older man. "Brand new, you see. Made of real troll bones." The older man held a short sword in front of Naruto 's nose. “Only 100 gold pieces.” A 2-week salary. “You know, there's a rumor going around that this is going to be swarming with Xadano's henchmen, and a good weapon will come in handy.” Naruto bent down a little so the old man could speak in his ear. “Have you never heard of Xadano's henchmen? Child, what world do you live in?These are the country's adversaries. Those who overthrow the king and want to destroy humanity. They're dangerous, I'll tell you. Worse than the wolves or the carnivores behind the city walls. Do you want the gun or not? "Naruto thought about it. Minions Xadanos. Destroying humanity. To him that sounded rather absurd. But one thing is certain." Yes, I'll take it. "Naruto said. With a new sword and 100 gold coins less in his pocket, Naruto set off to get home. Only one thing was still not clear to him. Was the old man right and the Xadano minions are already lurking outside the city gates or was the man just mad? And if this was really true, how could he stand against these beasts Naruto slipped his hand to the weight of his belt that was attached to his belt, it was all just speculation so far.
