Naruto Warm Jade

Chapter 286: Belated birthday wishes

The friendly matters were left to Xu Yan. Xu Jin was of little use in terms of technology. Hongyu and Zeyu were always worried about how to fully control the power of Platinum Star.

She just wanted to be alone to think of a solution, so she kept Wen Junlan and Tobirama away. Even Kakashi was not spared, and she rushed him to practice with Fengruo.

Now I am sitting alone on a rocking chair in the yard, looking sadly at the pond shimmering in the sunlight. I have been thinking for a long time and have no idea, so I can only sigh.

Suddenly, she casually controlled a pebble and was about to throw it into the pond. Halfway through, it fell to the ground, and the only response she received was a "ding" sound.Normally, she would have flown into the pond long ago, but now it made her feel extremely unhappy.

"Xu Jin, what are you doing here?" Sasuke came down from the corridor and noticed that Kakashi was not with Xu Jin, so he made a rare joke on Xu Jin, "It's so rare that I'm not stuck with Kakashi. "

"He's practicing with Fengruo. Are you bored... Come sit down and talk."

Xu Jin replied and found that Sasuke seemed to have come here specially to find her. She happened to be tired of thinking about things and chatted with Sasuke to relax her mind, so she moved her seat to the side and patted the empty space to indicate to Sasuke to sit down.

Sasuke paused on the spot, not wanting to go over and sit next to Xu Jin.

Although he has stayed in the Wen family for more than two months and knows that the Wen family are very enthusiastic, his temperament is not as lively as when he was a child. He is still taciturn and introverted.

He is still not used to Xu Jin's enthusiasm. Speaking of which, he is not used to the enthusiasm of the Wen family, but he thinks this is good. After all, Xu Jin is the only one who will not stop him. It should be okay to talk to her. good.

"What's wrong?" Xu Jin tilted her head and asked him.

It's not that she doesn't know Sasuke's introverted character, it's just that Sasuke has experienced too many and too dark things, and he has been led by others. If he continues to be alone, he is afraid that he will sink deeper and deeper and never get out.

Xu Jin didn't want to see Sasuke become like that. She promised Itachi that she would protect Sasuke. She also felt sorry for what Sasuke had gone through and hoped that his life would be better, so she was extra enthusiastic and considerate towards Sasuke.

"It's nothing." Sasuke came to his senses, walked towards Xu Jin, and sat down next to her.

The two siblings sat on the rocking chair and chatted awkwardly. Xujin put her heels on the ground and used the force to rock the rocking chair. They lazily looked at the pond and guessed with Sasuke how many carp there were in the pond.

Sasuke didn't want to play such a boring game with Xu Jin, so he kept replying perfunctorily and a little absent-mindedly.

He actually wanted to ask Xu Jin what the situation was like when she met Itachi before, and whether Itachi had mentioned him to Xu Jin, or told her about the darkness of Konoha.

But he couldn't ask.

Didn't he already make his choice? Why bother bothering about Itachi anymore?

Xu Jin noticed Sasuke's little thoughts. She dealt with Itachi and Sasuke and understood better than anyone the reasons for Itachi and Sasuke's choices.

She did keep her promise to Itachi not to tell Sasuke the truth, but she didn't think that Sasuke would find out one day.

When Xu Jin saw Itachi for the last time, she still couldn't bear the relationship between the two brothers to remain in hatred forever. Before leaving, she gave Itachi a suggestion, asking him to leave some thoughts for Sasuke.

Fortunately, Itachi agreed, and now it can be left to Sasuke, but I don't know if it is possible.

"You want to ask about Itachi?" Xu Jin took the initiative to ask him, looking confident.

Sasuke hesitated for a moment. He didn't know that Xu Jin could see into people's hearts so much, so he simply stopped hiding it and nodded: "Yes. Itachi...has he told you about me?"

"Yes." Xu Jin recalled carefully.

The first time she saw Itachi, she understood the whole story. She knew the matter was serious and did not dare to tell others casually. Thinking of Itachi's evaluation of Sasuke, Xu Jin really felt that it was word for word.

"What did he say?" Sasuke was a little anxious and urged Xu Jin to speak quickly.

He didn't know if Itachi was treating him like a child at that time, saying that he must not tell him the truth and entrust him to so and so.

"He said you are like a blank slate and can easily be led astray."

"Brother is right."

Sasuke lowered his head, remembering that he was led by Itachi, and was tricked into joining the Akatsuki organization by Obito. He completely misunderstood Itachi's thoughts and consciousness, and almost made Itachi's hard work go to waste.

He is literally a blank slate.

Xu Jin didn't think so. What happened back then would have happened without Weasel, and something even more terrifying than the genocide would have happened.

Sasuke was only a few years old at that time. He didn't know the stakes. He didn't have the opportunity to come into contact with the core of Konoha when he grew up. He didn't know that the political game was about choosing the lesser of two powers.

He couldn't understand Itachi's painstaking efforts, and it was only human nature to choose revenge.

Seeing that Sasuke was a little disappointed, she explained: "How can I blame you? After all, it is a political matter. It is normal for you not to understand. What's more, the suspicion between Konoha and Uchiha had reached its peak at that time. If it wasn't If Itachi is willing to do such an unfaithful, unjust, unkind and unfilial thing, I'm afraid Konoha will already be in ruins."

When Sasuke heard Xu Jin's relief, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Xu Jin was not much older than him and had only been in Konoha for a few years. When she met Itachi, it had been more than half a year since she had arrived in Konoha.But she could understand Itachi's painstaking efforts as soon as they met, and knew the seriousness of this matter, looking back at himself.

He only saw the pain of Itachi being tortured by Konoha, but could not see the essence of the matter.

"I couldn't understand Itachi at first. I just felt that Konoha went too far and chose to force Itachi to exterminate the clan. That's why I wanted revenge."

"It's human nature, not to mention he's your brother."

"Don't you think I did something wrong?" Sasuke raised his head. Why is it that Xu Jin is the only one who doesn't think he is crazy?

"Brother Protector is so caring, what's wrong? If you care about him so much, it's not in vain that he took the trouble to remove you. Whatever you want to do in the future is up to you." Xu Jin continued to untie Sasuke, stretched out his hand, and asked Said: "Do you want to meet him?"

Sasuke felt that Xu Jin's words were heart-warming. It was really a happy thing to be understood. The haze that enveloped his heart was relieved. He was in a good mood at the moment.

However, he was a little dizzy due to Xu Jin's last words which had no beginning and no end. He saw Xu Jin put her hand in front of him and motioned for him to put his hand on it.

"What do you mean?" Sasuke hesitated.

"Just accept the belated birthday gift and leave the rest to me." Xu Jin said mysteriously, not allowing Sasuke to nod, and took the initiative to take Sasuke's hand. She closed her eyes and concentrated, and the power of her thoughts was gradually absorbed. Radiate out.

In just a few seconds, dark blue thoughts quickly surrounded Xu Jin and Sasuke.

Sasuke didn't like physical contact with others. Just as he was about to break away, he noticed that the scenery around him had changed.

He stood in the woods, with a steady drizzle falling in the sky, as if his state of mind could not clear up no matter what, and the person in front of him——

It's a ferret.

"elder brother!"

Sasuke's voice was full of helplessness. The moment he saw Itachi, the pain that had just calmed down surged up again, making him almost breathless.

Sasuke hates, but he doesn't hate others, he hates Konoha, he hates Naruto.

He just hates that he is the only one in the world who is so slow and unable to realize the problem earlier. He will only be swayed by hatred, superficial phenomena, and led by others.

Even Xu Jin, before sending him to Orochimaru's hands, once said that you should not trust others' words and that you have to make your own judgment. She also asked him if his pair of Sharingan eyes could really see through the truth.

But he... didn't listen at all.

Not at all.

If he hesitated for even a second about revenge, this would not be the outcome.

"Sasuke."

Itachi spoke slowly, not as calmly as usual, his voice was very gentle, and his expression was full of the majesty of an elder brother.

"Here I am."

Sasuke's face was already filled with tears. He nodded with a cry but found that Itachi couldn't hear his voice at all. Only then did he realize that it was Xu Jin's ability that allowed him to see Itachi.

It seemed that Xu Jin specially asked Itachi to leave the message.

"I'm sorry, everything I did was for Konoha. Thinking about it now, if I had waited a little longer and bought more time, when you grew up, maybe you wouldn't be in the situation you are in now."

"I'm sorry to let you live such a life, but I believe you can survive it. Be careful about the people around you, protect yourself, protect everything you cherish, make more friends, don't always be alone in the dark There is no benefit in walking alone."

"Finally, I want to say that I will always love you, always protect you, and support you no matter what you do."

"Today is your 17th birthday, happy birthday to you."

"I know, brother." Sasuke cried and nodded, finding that the sky suddenly became clear.

He saw Itachi from Xu Jin's perspective. After that, Xu Jin and Itachi said goodbye. Itachi chose to face Sasuke, while Xu Jin brought back the news that Pain was in Yuyin Village.

Xu Jin and Itachi parted ways, just like Sasuke and Itachi were separated forever.
