Naruto the Cat and the Fox

The medical equipment in the room occasionally made beeping sounds, and the monitor also showed the steady heartbeat of the person lying on the bed.

Sasuke sat on the chair and looked at Itachi who was sleeping on the bed. Although the other person was unconscious, his expression was starting to improve, which made him feel relieved.

He saw the past he had experienced through Itachi's memories, and he also knew the burden Itachi had been carrying and his pride in wanting to protect the village and the Uchiha clan. He also knew that he was careful and tried every means to think about it. protect one's mind

The suspicion caused by the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the expulsion of the Uchiha clan and the subsequent rebuttal prepared, the almost breathless burden Itachi carried as a double agent, the persecution of Danzo, and the dealings of the third generation of Hokage but... It ended in failure, the persecution Shisui suffered, the realization of his parents in the end and their entrustment before their death.

Everything is just a supplement to the incomplete truth, but after seeing it with my own eyes, it gave me greater shock and thought.

What is a village? Why do you have to bear everything for the village? Even the hatred of relatives and the hostility of everyone are silently carried.

But everything now is not as important as the person in front of me

His brother is still alive, which is more important than anything else.

Quietly looking at the sleeping person on the bed, Sasuke thought to himself, maybe the reputation of the Uchiha clan is really important, and I am also proud to be an Uchiha. However, now I only have a brother. No matter what others say, I will clear his name and remove those unfounded charges.

I will protect my brother's will to protect the village well, just because that is what my brother wants. Sasuke smiled slightly, but the next second his smile turned cold, but this does not mean that it is hurt. Brother's people will not get the retribution they deserve.

Sasuke sat on a chair to the side and looked quietly at the person lying on the bed.After a while, he lay down beside the bed, looking at the sleeping person without blinking. Then he carefully reached out and grabbed Itachi's bandaged right hand, and the slight pulsation under his fingertips made him feel uncomfortable. He was relieved a lot.

The wound hadn't healed yet, which made him feel a little sleepy. He slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, without letting go of the hand he had been holding.

Maybe they can no longer go back to the carefree time they had many years ago, but as long as their brother is by their side, they will definitely be able to create better memories.

It doesn't matter what the world does to them next, it doesn't matter if those ninjas or whatever they doubt them.

After a while, Wu came in with a bottle and just smiled slightly when seeing this warm scene.

The young man lying beside the bed had a relaxed expression and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, as if he was having a good dream. The young man lying on the hospital bed also had a peaceful face. His right hand was gently held, making him feel the worry and concern from his brother even in a coma.

After gently changing the medicine bottles, Wu quietly left here, and the door she gently closed bore her heartfelt blessing:

You will be very happy, that's all we can do

Over there at Mount Miaomu.

Naruto began to learn senjutsu from Master Fukasaku. Although it was not smooth at the beginning and he became like a frog from time to time due to natural energy, but fortunately Master Fukasaku was watching from the side.

However, the most painful thing is the insect feast every time

At night, after struggling to swallow the insect meal, Naruto lay on the roof and looked at the bright stars in the night sky. The scenery of Mt. Myoboku is very beautiful, and you can hear the chirping of toads from time to time.

Naruto lay on his back on the roof and looked at the stars. After reviewing what he had learned today, he took out a small glass bottle from his pocket.

There is a small roll of sky-blue candy wrapper in the transparent glass bottle, which is very dazzling under the light of the starry sky.

"", Naruto stared blankly at the small glass bottle, suddenly remembering the scene when he first saw it. The warm sun at that time, the gentle smiling person at that time, everything at that time

Master Fukasaku jumped to the roof, looked at the person lying there for a while, and then looked at the small glass bottle in his hand, "Naruto-chan, this is"

"Feng gave it to me. She gave me a candy when we first met, and I kept the candy wrapper." Naruto said calmly, his eyes clearly looking at the small glass bottle but his focus was a little blank. "I don't know where Feng is now, and I don't know that she has heard from the lustful immortal."

Suddenly unable to speak, Naruto pursed his lips slightly and focused his attention on the small glass bottle again.

Master Fukasaku frowned slightly and then asked, "That girl named Feng is from the Sakura Clan."

"Ah."

Lord Fukasaku thought for a moment, and then said hesitantly, "Naruto-chan, actually"

"I know." Naruto interrupted it softly, looking at the small glass bottle in his hand expressionlessly, "I know, Grandpa Sage."

Lord Fukasaku sighed and then said, "If you have time, don't think about your little beauty. Time is very tight now. Have a good rest tonight and seize the time to practice tomorrow."

"I understand, Grandpa Sage." After nodding, Naruto put away the small glass bottle and jumped to the ground to rest.

Lord Fukasaku looked at his back, then looked up at the stars in the sky.The twinkling starry sky is very common in Miaomu Mountain, and the croaking frogs are a bit noisy but also pleasant to the ears.

The day after tomorrow will be here soon.

Except for Xianglan who stayed here to take care of Itachi, the other two members of the Eagle Team went with him. Although Xiang Phosphorus made various awkward complaints and excuses, he was elated by Sasuke's words, "Do me a favor, my brother, please." He happily agreed.

Wu, who was still wearing a black vest and black trousers, shook her two long ponytails. After turning the long knife in her right hand, it was flexibly inserted into the rope on her back.At this moment, she was standing in front of Sasuke's room in the base with her hands on her hips.

Not long after, Sasuke, who had been stuffed with a set of clothes by her, came out. The style of Zuo Xin's clothes is the same as before, except that the clothes that were originally wide open are now closed a lot. After all, the power of the curse seal no longer exists. Another bigger change is that the Uchiha family crest on the back of the clothes, which was originally only about the size of a thumb, has become much larger.

Sasuke already knew the secret behind the clothes, and couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw the person waiting at the door, "Thank you."

"It's okay~ If you really want to thank me~" Wu suddenly came up, holding a small white bottle in her right hand and said with bright eyes, "Young man, I'm not as good as you."

"Absolutely not." Sasuke refused in a accustomed manner and reached out to adjust the position of the Kusanagi sword.

"That's too much." Wu Gu puffed up his face and stuffed the medicine bottle back into his pocket in frustration before turning around and leaving. "Let's go~ The aqua-haired boy and the orange-haired boy are already waiting~"

"Speaking of which, I haven't said where the destination is yet."

"Konoha."

There in the forest outside Konoha.

After running here, Shuiyue suddenly drooped her shoulders and looked weak.Sasuke threw him a water bottle as usual, and then leaned against the tree trunk to wait for someone.

After biting the straw and drinking a few large gulps of water, Suigetsu finally seemed to be alive again, "I'm saved, Sasuke was almost dehydrated."

Mai, who had never been to Konoha, poked her head around and asked curiously, "Young man, why don't we go in? I haven't gone in yet."

"Just wait here." Sasuke said calmly, standing there with his eyes closed and his hands folded.

Jugo stood a little behind, with a few birds occasionally landing on his body, and he looked at the chirping birds and got information from them.

"I'll go to a farther place to cover you." Shuiyue waved lazily, biting the straw and walked towards the river not far away. He might as well go and soak in the water.

After waiting for a while, I heard the faint sound of footsteps. Not long after, the owner of the footsteps appeared in the field of vision. His braided hair and bored expression on his face were very eye-catching. "I am very busy today. Suddenly What's the matter with calling me out, Sasuke?"

"It's not me." After Sasuke said calmly, he opened his eyes and glanced at Mai nearby.

"" Shikamaru looked at the cute girl with two ponytails a little strangely. Although he was curious about her identity, he was even more curious about her relationship with Sasuke.

Seeing the lazy expression on Shikamaru's face, Mai's admirable spirit of fighting and defeating came out again, and she immediately rushed forward and patted Shikamaru on the shoulder with one hand, holding a small white bottle in the other hand. He spoke in a passionate voice, "Young man, I can tell from the look on your face that you feel boring about life and often feel bored. This mentality is not good when you are so young. Youth is so hot. Come on, let me give you a ride." A bottle of medicine will make your life more colorful.”

"", Shikamaru was caught in a rare moment, a little confused as to what this strange girl was thinking.

He came a little closer and shook the small white bottle full of sin. Wu smiled slyly and said, "So, boy, do you have any dream lover or someone who has a crush on you? I guarantee that it will make your heart happy." All your wishes come true~"

"Ha", although a girl from Sunagakure Village with short yellow hair in four strands flashed subconsciously in his mind, Shikamaru did not say it out loud, but looked at Mai with a slightly twitching corner of his mouth, who didn't know what he was planning. .

Sasuke stretched out his hand as usual, grabbed one of the guy's ponytails and gently pulled her back, and said helplessly, "Mai, let the person delivering the medicine go. Let's talk about important things first."

"Don't pull my hair, young man." Wu Gugu puffed up his face and reluctantly took the medicine bottle back before coughing slightly and asked seriously, "Hey, braided young man, do you know that dead fox is here?" Where?"

Hearing this, Shikamaru became alert, frowned slightly and said, "What happened to Naruto?"

"I can't tell you the details directly, but you have to watch that fox and tell him not to see Sister Feng in the near future. He must not let him meet Sister Feng." Wu said calmly, and then puffed her face selfishly. Say, "It's best not to do it for the rest of your life."

"What's going on?" Shikamaru asked, but the suspicion he had always had in his mind was confirmed. Since Ying Luofeng's sister has come to warn them, something must have happened to Ying Luofeng.

"Anyway, that's the end of my reminder. If something happens and hurts Sister Feng, it will be you who regret it." After saying the last sentence slightly coldly, Wu turned around He left, speaking lightly, "Then let's go back, young man~"

Sasuke calmly glanced at Shikamaru, who was sweating slightly, and then left without saying a word.

"", Shikamaru pursed his lips and looked at their backs. Although he wanted to ask clearly, he also knew that she would not elaborate anymore. After pressing his lips tightly for a while, he just whispered, "Sasuke, which side are you on now?"

Without stopping, Sasuke's cold voice came out calmly, "It's none of your business."

Shikamaru clenched his teeth slightly, but did not stop them from leaving. After all, he was self-aware of the strength gap between the two parties.

And the most important thing now is what Wu reminded him, which confirmed his previous conjecture.That means something must have happened in Yuyin Village, which led to the current situation.

Unexpectedly, troublesome things were coming one after another. Shikamaru frowned with a headache, feeling that his IQ was not enough. Now we not only have to be on guard against Payne who may attack at any time, but we also have to be wary of that guy Naruto going off to find his girlfriend who is now becoming dangerous.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered something." Mai suddenly remembered something, turned around suddenly, ran in front of Shikamaru, and stared at him with a smile.

Shikamaru was a little creeped out by her stare, but he still asked calmly, "What's wrong?"

"Penn is dead." After whispering these five words, she stuffed a small white porcelain bottle into Shikamaru's hand, winked mischievously and whispered, "And this is a gift from me. Your wow, don’t pull my tail, young man.”

Sasuke, who had walked over at some point, let go of his hand, glanced calmly at the hairy man, then just turned around and left, and presciently decided not to eat any food Mai handed him in the next few days.

"Young man, you've gone too far." Wu angrily grabbed her ponytail and followed him, deciding in her heart that she would put medicine in his food when she went back.

sp;"", Shikamaru watched the two people leave with the corner of his mouth twitching, saying it was a bit hard to believe that the guy just now was the cold and ruthless Uchiha Sasuke.

However, why did she give me that information? Not to mention that Payne should be a living person, why would she say he was a dead person. And this bottle is. Shikamaru looked at the small white bottle in his hand with a serious face. He always felt that this bottle contained a big secret, maybe it was related to Payne's information.

Well, when Shikamaru took the small bottle to the verification room for testing with a serious look on his face, everyone thought something had happened. But when the results came out, everyone looked at Shikamaru with an inexplicable subtle expression.

After all, it's very rare for Konoha's most powerful brain to wander around with a bottle of aphrodisiac.

On the way back, Wu Cai suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, young man, who is that boy with the braided hair?"

Sasuke didn't say anything about her slowness, but just explained calmly, "Nara Shikamaru, I just happened to meet him when I went back to the village to get medicine last time."

"I see." Wu nodded, then looked at him with a slight frown, "But you came back with a lot of injuries last time."

"Ah, I just went to visit the counselor in the village." Sasuke said calmly, but Shikamaru, who knew about it at that time, did not stop him and instead found a way to send him out of the village. It was strange no matter how you looked at it. .

Did he know something? Sasuke frowned slightly. After all, the lazy-looking guy gave him a lot of antlers generously last time.

"After visiting the consultant, did they die?" Wu asked curiously.

"No, it just gave them nightmares for a few days." Sasuke said calmly, not caring whether the two people's hearts could bear it.

Then, he asked worriedly, "Wu, when will my brother wake up? It's been nearly a week now."

"Please, don't think about your brother's physical condition." Mai rolled her eyes and said angrily, "He will wake up if he lies down for another four or five days, but remember to remind him not to use the power of the Sharingan casually. ah."

"Ah."

"In addition, although the power of Xiang Phosphorus is very useful, the body still needs to be well cared for." Wu said calmly, then frowned and said, "Remember to remind your brother to take medicine."

"Yeah," Sasuke was a little confused, "Itachi, brother, he drank obediently before."

"Yes, when you brought it to me before, you would drink it expressionlessly. After others brought it to you, they would secretly pour it away. The reason is that they don't like bitter drinks."

"I understand." Sasuke nodded seriously and made a mental note that his brother hated bitter food.

"Also, don't allow him to eat sweets." Wu slowly gave her advice as a doctor. Anyway, as long as Sasuke is watching, it will be fine. "There are still many things to pay attention to. I will explain it to you when I return to the base. .”

"it is good."

"Why is Sasuke back?"

A shout of disbelief came from the Hokage's office. In the Hokage's office, only Tsunade, Kakashi and Sakura were here, and the loud roar was made by Sakura. Tsunade and Kakashi both looked at Shikamaru who brought the news back in surprise, a little hard to believe it.

Shikamaru, who had known this for a long time, waited until the sound almost stopped before he calmly put down his hands covering his ears and corrected, "It's not that Sasuke is back, he just came to Konoha with a girl."

After regaining her composure, Tsunade said in a deep voice, "Shikamaru, let's make things clear first."

Shikamaru explained briefly, deftly avoiding anything he shouldn't have said.

Sakura's brows furrowed more and more as she listened. After finally listening patiently, she immediately asked anxiously, "But Shikamaru, how did you meet Sasuke? Why did Sasuke come back to send a message to you instead of me or Kakashi?" teacher"

"Who knows, maybe I won't interfere with his stay," Shikamaru said. Although Shikamaru was a little surprised, it was not difficult to think of the reason why Sasuke came to him instead of Kakashi and the others.Not to mention that he occasionally extended a helping hand last time, the other reason was that he knew that he wouldn't care whether he stayed or went next.Although he is considered a traitor now, since he has done nothing detrimental to Konoha, he can still turn a blind eye.

Seeing his indifferent attitude, Sakura gritted her teeth angrily, "Why don't you interfere with his whereabouts? Isn't Sasuke a friend from the same village?"

"That's what I said, but obviously I can't beat him." Shikamaru knew the difference in strength, so he didn't do anything in vain.

"It's okay to tell us. As long as we see him, we can convince him. Sasuke is obviously outside the village."

"To be honest, Sakura, I don't think you can convince Sasuke. And it's not a good thing if too many people go." Shikamaru said calmly, after all, this is also a fact. If that guy could be persuaded so easily, Naruto wouldn't have to put so much effort into it, and he wouldn't have to drag himself into the water.

Sakura slowly clenched her fists and then rushed outside, "I want to go find him. He must have just left not long ago."

"The girl you're talking about who can create the smell-eliminating medicine is right next to Sasuke. I don't think there's any way to trace their scent or chakra."

Shikamaru's words made Sakura stop suddenly. Only now did she remember that Shikamaru said that Sasuke was bringing Sakura with him this time.

The hand that gripped the doorknob kept tightening, and then she just opened the door with a sullen face and left quickly. Since Sasuke has only been away for just over an hour, we can find him if we speed up a little bit.

"Sakura," Kakashi couldn't help but frown, and then looked at Tsunade sitting there.

"Okay, we'll discuss these later." Tsunade said in a deep voice and asked Shikamaru seriously, "Shikamaru, are everything you said true?"

Shikamaru nodded, his face became serious, "Ah, that lady said that Payne is a dead person, and asked us to be careful not to let Naruto see Miss Feng. These two points have already proved many of our guesses. .”

"Penn is a dead person," Tsunade frowned slightly, "Is there no more detailed information?"

"No, that's what she said." Shikamaru shook his head, then raised a small white bottle and said with rare gritted teeth, "Then she gave me this thing."

Kakashi glanced at the unusually familiar thing and couldn't help but laugh a little, "It is indeed Miss Mai's style. Without the bottle, you have to wonder if she is a fake."

"Ah, Kakashi once reported that Sakura Luofeng's sister Sakura Luofeng's personality is to sell aphrodisiacs to people everywhere. It seems to be true." Tsunade nodded, and then continued to the topic, "And From the second information, it seems that something happened to Ying Luofeng in Yuyin Village. That’s why her sister and Sasuke came together to remind us."

Kakashi thought for a while and then asked, "Shikamaru, did you ask about Uchiha Itachi? After all, Sasuke fought him before. Something must have happened."

"Probably he is still alive, but since he also killed several members of the Akatsuki and fought with Sasuke, it seems that he will not appear again for the time being. Moreover, he might still be alive."

Tsunade frowned slightly, "I have no idea what that man is thinking about."

"But let them handle the matter of the Uchiha brothers themselves." Shikamaru put the bottle in his hand on the desk and asked, "Then Tsunade-sama, what should we do next?"

"In short, let's focus on investigating Payne's matter first. After all, this matter is already urgent. As for Sakura Luofeng, I believe Miss Wu and Sasuke will find a way. After all, if she is controlled by someone, it is very likely that she will Eye Technique, then it can only be left to Sasuke who can use the Sharingan."

"But will Sasuke help?" Kakashi was a little unsure. Although Sasuke was his student, his impression of him still remained when he left Konoha more than three years ago. He couldn't figure out what had become of the boy who was full of hatred at the beginning.

"Yes, Kakashi-sensei." Unexpectedly, Shikamaru smiled firmly, "Although I don't know what that guy has become now, but the last time I saw him, he was so cold and inhumane. The feeling is gone. And I still feel that he is just as unhappy as before."

Seeing Shikamaru's expression, Tsunade couldn't help but smile, "According to what you said, compared to being curious about the changes in Uchiha Sasuke, I am more curious about what Sakura Luofeng did."

Kakashi also nodded in agreement, "That's right. Since the last time she took Uchiha Itachi away regardless of other people's misunderstandings, we have no news at all. And so many changes have happened suddenly, It really makes people curious about what Miss Feng did.”

After saying that, the two people's eyes moved to Shikamaru. After all, the only person who is related to Sakura Luofeng and Sasuke in Konoha, besides Naruto, is Shikamaru.

In response to their probing glances, Shikamaru simply said, "I don't know what Miss Feng did, but knowing that it is definitely not a bad thing."

Two people with countless experiences just stared at Shikamaru in tacit understanding, saying nothing but giving people pressure silently.

Shikamaru still looked calm, although in his heart he began to want to stab the golden fox that had dragged him into this quagmire.

After Tsunade squinted her eyes and stared at Shikamaru for a while, she said calmly, "Forget it, I'll leave this matter to you, Shikamaru. I believe you do things in a measured way."

"Although I'm a little sad that my students don't come to me as a teacher, maybe it's because of the generation gap between people of different ages." Kakashi sighed heavily, and then looked at him seriously, "Anyway , I’m begging you too, Shikamaru.”

Shikamaru nodded solemnly at their trust in him without asking for a reason, "I understand."

"Then you first bring the news to Shizune, and then combined with Jiraiya's code, maybe you can find Pain's identity soon." Tsunade said calmly, seeing Shikamaru nodding and getting ready. On the way out, he added calmly, "Also, take this medicine bottle with you."

Shikamaru's steps froze, and then he could only come back dejectedly to take the medicine bottle away. He originally thought that this was how he would get rid of this troublesome bottle of medicine.

After Tsunade saw him going out, she whispered, "Kakashi, what do you think?"

"Although there are some things that I still don't understand, the only thing that is clear is that Miss Feng is in danger now."

"It always feels like those young people are planning something when we don't know it."

"But it may be a good thing. After all, if nothing happened, it would be impossible for Sasuke's character to automatically appear around Konoha." Kakashi said lightly, "And more importantly, that guy Naruto has never been around since After he came back last time, he no longer did things impulsively without a chance as before. And after what happened with Jiraiya, he became more and more stable and mature."

"That's right, but judging from the current trend, nothing bad should happen. However, Naruto probably doesn't know that Sakura Luofeng is related to Jiraiya's death."

"No, there are only a few people who know about this. I have already reminded them."

"That's okay." Tsunade tapped her fingers on the desk. Suddenly remembering Sakura's expression before leaving, she immediately said seriously, "Kakashi, you go and talk to Sakura first. I always feel that she will be with Sasuke. I can’t think about it.”

"take things too hard"

"Well, since Sakura saw Sakura Luofeng having contact with Akatsuki's member who may be Uchiha Madara, and saw her rescuing Uchiha Itachi, something was wrong with her whole person. Especially when she found Sakura last time When Luo Feng was related to Jiraiya’s death, I felt a faint murderous aura.”

Kakashi frowned and immediately thought clearly about what Tsunade wanted to express.Especially after hearing that Sakura Luofeng being controlled by others may be detrimental to Naruto, and coupled with what Tsunade said, the decision Sakura will make can be easily guessed.

"I know, I'll go find her right now." After nodding, Kakashi jumped out of the window and left here.

"Leave it to you, I just hope there won't be any problems with this joint." Tsunade stood up and looked at Konoha outside through the transparent window, and couldn't help but frown slowly.

Thinking of the scene where the blond boy was willing to kneel down to save his beloved and his promise that he would take care of all the mistakes the girl made, and then think of the pink-haired girl just now who wanted to remove all obstacles because of her beloved. Determined, Tsunade felt a headache.
