[NARUTO] Night of the Full Moon

"Anyone who would believe that there are heroes in this world is a hopeless fool." Inari seemed to no longer want to argue with Naruto and turned to the kitchen.

"What did you say?" Naruto became even more angry.

But he heard Sasuke calmly answer: "That's right."

"Sasuke!" Naruto turned his head in disbelief, not expecting that Sasuke would say such a thing.

"No hero will save a bug who is willing to wallow in the mud. Garbage that doesn't even have the courage to save itself is only worthy of rotting in the dark sewers." Sasuke continued, without even looking at Inari's figure who turned back. He was simply stating the facts in a calm tone, "If your grandfather had not sent us a request to protect him from completing the bridge construction, we would not have cared about his life or death at all."

"Sasuke." Kakashi shook his head in disapproval. These words were still too cruel for such a child.

Inari was obviously greatly stimulated by Sasuke, and his expression began to collapse uncontrollably, and tears poured out.He roared: "What do you know! You don't know anything about this country or us, you just talk big words! Guys like you who grew up in a rich country and haven't experienced suffering will just look down on others from a high position." !”

"So you're just here complaining and doing nothing but crying about the injustice of the world!" Naruto increased his volume to suppress Inari's cries, "A guy who can only cry can't change anything at all!"

"Naruto..." Sakura grabbed Naruto's arm and asked him to calm down.

"I hate you!" Inari rushed out.

"Troublesome brat." Sasuke frowned and went out to bring him back.

An untrained child would naturally not be as capable as a ninja.Sasuke followed him all the way and saw him crying enough by the small bridge outside the house before walking over.

"You actually know the truth, right? It's just that the losses you have paid are so heavy that you all can't believe that you can still win."

Inari remained in a balled-up position, making no movement.

Sasuke sat down: "But even if we ninjas face a stronger enemy, we will rush forward with all our strength."

"For the people, for the children, for the beliefs in your heart, for those things that must be protected even if you die. Now that you have accepted your grandfather's entrustment, we will protect you. If you are really too timid, you can really wait for everyone to protect you. You can come forward after everything is resolved. After all, you are still very young, and your grandpa and mother are in front of you in everything. But there will always be a day when you need to stand up on your own to protect what you want to protect."

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Inari finally responded.

"To live in confusion and then die without achievement is the most terrifying thing."

"That……"

"There's no need to say unnecessary nonsense. I'm not interested in the psychological journey of a brat like you. If Naruto didn't have to fight with you to win or lose, I wouldn't bother to talk. No matter how much you say, it's useless. If you have anything else If you have any doubts, you can look at what that guy does when faced with difficulties." Sasuke stood up and pulled Inari up by his collar, "He is a fool. That's why he can become what you call a hero."

"Now, go back and eat. Don't let down every meal your mother prepares for you."

Sasuke pursed his lips. Such a long conversation made his mouth dry.It seems that after getting along with Naruto more, he even talks more. Ah, it's really hard to imagine that this guy who just talked so much about things is actually me.

Fortunately, Inari was not a messy guy. After listening to Sasuke's suggestion, he went back and stared at Naruto, making him look dumbfounded.

"Sasuke, what did you say to him? Why has he been looking at me since he came back?" Naruto leaned over and whispered to Sasuke.

"How do I know?" Sasuke said without changing his face, "Maybe I still want to see how you can prove that you are right."

"Oh oh oh!" Naruto clenched his fists, "I will definitely become a hero and let him see it."

"come on."

Perhaps he really wanted to set a good example for Inari, so Naruto began to practice sleepless nights.If treading water wasn't a training that required someone to monitor it, Naruto might not have even bothered to come back and sleep at night.

But despite this, he still dragged Sasuke out of bed before dawn every day, went to practice for two hours and then came back for breakfast.

Although Sasuke wanted to tell Naruto to take more rest, he also knew that Naruto would be stubborn once he decided on something. Fortunately, he saw that it would not be easy for him to have problems, so he practiced with him.

After being able to stay on the water surface for a period of time, change to another water area and conduct a complex terrain test to ensure that you have truly mastered the method, and not just remember the amount of chakra that needs to be output in which water quality environment.Sasuke can also observe more different environments while Naruto is training to prepare for subsequent battles.

On this day, Sasuke and Naruto got up early and prepared to walk through the woods to the other side of the river where the current was more rapid.

In the forest, I saw a young man carrying a medicine basket, who was estimated to be no more than two years older than them.When the other party saw them, he smiled slightly as a greeting and continued to collect his own herbs.

Sasuke slowed down because of this.

"Why, you think that sister is so good-looking that you can't bear to leave?" Naruto laughed at him.

"Are you stupid? He is obviously a man." Sasuke ignored Naruto's teasing, still thinking about where that familiar place came from.

"Huh?" Naruto stopped because of his words and suddenly turned his head to look, "It's impossible, it's obviously cuter than Sakura."

"Is there any problem?" the young man asked.

Even the voice is soft and feminine.

However, with this glance, Sasuke completely matched the outline of his figure with his memory, and drew his knife straight at the opponent's neck.

"Sasuke, what are you doing!" Naruto was startled by his sudden movement, but he still rushed over and instinctively cooperated with Sasuke to cut off the boy's retreat.

The doubtful look in the young man's eyes only stayed for a moment, confirming that Sasuke had indeed recognized his identity, and pulled out a Senbon from nowhere to stop his attack.

"What, you were the one wearing the mask that day!" Naruto also recognized the boy's weapon.

"You have such good eyesight, can you recognize it like this?" the young man asked Sasuke.He had disguised himself well before.

Sasuke ignored him, and the movements in his hands became more and more fierce. He cut off a lot of the young man's long hair.

The boy was restrained in every way, and there was Naruto behind him who was trying to catch his flaw. He knew that being entangled in this way was not good for him, so he suddenly used his strength to fight off the injuries and deflected the attacks of the two, and opened a mirror knot made of ice crystals. boundary.

He covered his severed shoulder and melted into the mirror backwards.

"What a pity." The shadow reflected by the mirror made it difficult to figure out the boy's position. "I didn't want to use this method... but you are Mr. Zabuza's enemies."

"A very troublesome enemy."

Sasuke and Naruto stood back to back in the center of the barrier, looking at this area that was obviously just established by the other party, and clenched the weapons in their hands.

"You are more difficult to deal with than I thought." Sasuke's eyes flickered from side to side, "To be able to do this, you must have the blood inheritance limit of ice."

"That's right." The young man agreed generously, "So you all have to stay here."

As the end of this sentence fell, the young man also started to move.The figure in the mirror was distorted into various creases. It was obviously just a reflection in the mirror, but the thousands of books flying towards it were the reality.Even though the two of them were prepared, they still couldn't deflect all the attacks.

"Why are there so many!" Naruto cursed.

"There are also some ice needles." Sasuke explained, "His ability is probably to condense water into the ice weapons he wants. The main function of these mirrors is to disrupt vision."

However, the woods in the early morning were full of dew, and not far away was filled with thick mist from the river.For ninjas who can control water, this is their home field.

Therefore, there was no nervousness in the young man's voice coming from all directions: "So what if you guessed it? You still can't deal with it."

Seeing that Sasuke was able to block most of the attacks and still have enough energy to help Naruto clear the obstacles, he changed his tone and said, "Your companion knew the answer when he asked you. Is he the person you want to protect?"

"That's a lot of nonsense!" Sasuke shot the ice edge he chopped back, but still failed to touch the boy's body.

"I don't want to kill you. After all, I just want Mr. Zabuza to complete his mission. If you give up resistance, I can just let you sleep for a few days."

"Only a fool would believe the nonsense of demons like you!" Naruto roared, this style of play that failed to catch his opponent made him very annoyed.

But the young man is still saying: "You have people you want to protect, and I am just protecting the people I want to protect. Why should I use this to define good and evil?"

"Because we didn't hurt more people in the name of protection." Sasuke's movements suddenly became faster.With a sudden dash, he actually grabbed the young man's ankle, and when the other boy twisted around to fight back, he shook him off and threw him backwards.

The mirror behind the boy was slightly cracked by the impact, and the moment he stood up, it was filled with frost and disappeared.

"Are you serious?" The young man murmured, and also increased his attack speed.The shadow projected from the mirror was too fast to show the entire figure.

Naruto's joy when he wanted to cheer for Sasuke was immediately suppressed. Now he really couldn't catch the other party's movements at all.Apart from passively intercepting the opponent's attacks, there was no way to cause him any substantial damage.

"What should we do?" Naruto and Sasuke circled in the center of the circle, subconsciously looking to Sasuke for a solution to the problem.

Sasuke took a deep breath, and the hot breath he exhaled dispersed into white mist within the ice realm.

“Next, pay attention to protect yourself.
