"Naruto" Moon Redemption and Burial

At four o'clock in the morning, Kamizuki Izumo and Kozitetsu obtained the conclusion from Haruno Sakura that Uchiha Sasuke had defected, and Chunin Shikamaru quickly formed a team to attack.

It is reported that Uchiha Aoi, a relevant person, is leaving the village on an S-level mission and cannot be recalled immediately.

Shortly after completing the mission, due to process requirements, Aoi still had to go to the ANBU for interrogation to clear away the suspicion.

The news of Sasuke's defection was immediately suppressed by Konoha's top brass.

After all, he is one of the last Uchiha, and even a member of the Hokage disciple's family. Although he has no direct contact, if word spreads, he doesn't know how others will view him.

But strictly speaking, the village did not suffer losses, so the matter of Sasuke's defection seemed to have been lightly revealed and no longer caused any trouble.

The only people who can be affected are those who have a deep bond with him.

Next, the ANBU had to conduct a thorough search of her house for one day in accordance with the regulations, resulting in Aoi having to find somewhere else to stay for the day.

Coincidentally, Kakashi had just finished the ANBU interrogation and happened to see Aoi, who had just come out. He looked at her slow and heavy steps and walked quietly behind her at a distance.

Kakashi couldn't see her expression, but she had her hands behind her back, holding the elbow of the other arm with one hand, pressing it tightly against her back. Her back was straight as usual, but slightly tilted. He lowered his head, looking like he was thinking about something.

It wasn't until he reached the stone bench on the path that Aoi turned around and faced Kakashi directly, saying, "Is it interesting to follow me?"

Kakashi didn't feel any embarrassment about being discovered, he just said normally: "Well, I'm just a little worried about you."

"This is not the first time this has happened."

Kakashi knew what she was talking about, but the excessive indifference and calmness she showed made him a little uneasy.

I'm afraid it would be much better to catch him and give him a beating or make a fuss than to say nothing.

After a period of silence, Aoi first planned to leave, not knowing where to go. Kakashi stepped forward with some anxiety and grabbed her shoulders. In her slightly surprised eyes, he turned to another topic. ——

"I can't go back today. Have you decided where to go?"

"……Training Course."

In order not to trouble everyone, she actually planned to find a place to stay, preferably somewhere with few people.

"It's very dangerous for a girl to stay out alone at night. Why don't you stay at a friend's house?"

"It will cause trouble for everyone, and you will continue to go on missions tomorrow, so go back early and have a good rest."

Cang Yi's tone unconsciously took on a toughness that could not be refuted, and her expression suddenly became lively, not as cold as before.

"You also need to have a good rest." Kakashi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I'm not worried about you being outside. If you really can't come to my house."

Cang Yi thought for a while and nodded as an agreement.

"Ah - it's getting late. Let's buy some things and go back to cook. I'll cook. Is there anything you want to eat?"

"Just leave the cooking to me."

However, her interest was not very high, her eyes were still staring into the distance, and she did not put too much energy on Kakashi.

She must be thinking about Sasuke.

Kakashi thoughtfully handed her the key to the apartment, changed lanes, and went to buy ingredients.

Before going to the Anbu, both of them had just completed an S-level mission and rushed back. Although it was not a big deal with the ninja's physical strength, but now that the village is in dire straits, they are afraid that tomorrow , or even tonight, they may receive another urgent mission and go out.

It's important to get a good rest.

The waterfall of black hair was scattered around her, and her body was completely submerged in the running water of the shower. She held her breath and did not dare to reveal anything.

Itachi chose the village, and Sasuke chose the Uchiha clan.

Aoi chose the village and the clan.

She has always, always, always been unable to make a choice.

She belongs to the clan, and the clan belongs to the village. This is how it should be, but she also knows the many oppressions on the clan in the village, as well as the harsh words against the clan brought about by the police.

Some people regretted the overnight decline of the Uchiha bloodline, but there were also some people who applauded the disappearance of the police force.

But she didn't dare tell Sasuke any of this.

Because there are only clear black and white in his world, without any gray areas.

And this is exactly the information that will push him into darkness.

She didn't know if she was doing the right thing, but she couldn't watch Sasuke fall into darkness like this.

Because... for the brothers and sisters, he is the only symbol of a bright future and one of the few salvations for them who are trapped there.

But officially because of these brothers and sisters, he must also stand on the side of light, look directly at the turbulent darkness, and even... step into the same abyss as them.

It would be nice if Sasuke wasn't an Uchiha.

She thought suddenly, feeling very sad.

She thought of the child's innocent smile when she was a child. The more she recalled it, the more heartache she felt.

"Knock Knock-"

Kakashi knocked on the door outside and told her that he had found a new bath towel and put it outside.

After humming softly, Cangyi couldn't help but make a sound.

"Kakashi."

"I feel like a failure."

Through the frosted glass, two gray shadows almost overlapped each other, and no one moved at all.

"Many people say that I am a genius. I can do things that many people cannot do. I can help and protect many people."

"But what have I done, and have I really protected the people I want to protect?"

She was almost crying.

He spoke in a low voice with a choked voice.

"I miss Anai."

Kakashi's back was to the door, and his hand holding the towel tightened involuntarily.

"Don't belittle yourself. If you insist, I am the same."

They all survived, and they all lost a lot of people.

"But even so, there are things we can still do now."

"I will protect my companions."

The same to you.
