Amidst the crowd, a little boy broke free from his mother's hand and ran out.
He imitated the man who performed a "dogeza" and knelt before Naruto, speaking loudly and earnestly: "Hero-sama, can you stay in our village?"
Naruto looked at him, "You want me to stay?"
"Pirates..." The boy seemed to have exhausted all his strength just to make this request, and now his voice was weak and small. "There are more pirates than just those people."
"Our village gets raided by pirates every few days."
"Even if we move somewhere else, they will find us."
"My father was killed by other pirates."
"Hero-sama! Please stay in the village and protect us!"
