[Naruto] It turns out you are the tail end of the crane

It's like engraving your name on a commemorative monument.

It was indeed something that the paranoid and willful Uchiha could think of and fight for.

Over time, apart from Kakashi, the first person to notice something strange was her colleagues who were close friends with her.

"Obviously Kakashi-senpai has come back, why does it feel like he has become busier?" The junior approached her with a smile, his long dark purple hair hanging on his shoulders, "Have you found the person you want to protect? ?”

Yuzuha's hand that was being bandaged paused slightly.

Then, she pursed her lips and showed a smile, "Yes."

"Hey -" the little girl sighed, and then asked curiously: "Whose child is it?"

Yu Ye lazily raised her eyelids and did not answer.

"You are still a child yourself, Xiyan," another colleague who walked in from the door laughed and joked: "There is time for gossip, but there is no time for writing reports?"

Hearing this, the purple-haired girl flattened her mouth and said, "I understand."

She turned and left, but her colleagues who came in behind did not follow her in a hurry.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Yuye asked, "What's the matter?"

The colleague then replied: "...Nakajima-sama wants to see you."

Yuzuye was stunned for a moment, and then reacted belatedly.

——The "Nakajima-sama" he refers to is Mr. Nakajima who has just taken over Nakajima Yu's position.

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but show a bit of boredom on her brows, and she weakly thanked her colleagues.

……

When Yuzuye saw Nakajima Dai again, he was wearing a consultant robe and his face was pale and serious.

Becoming a bit like Yu Nakajima.

Yu Ye thought aimlessly, kneeling on one knee in front of him, "I heard that you are looking for me?"

Across a desk, Nakashimadai sat still and did not speak.

A solemn atmosphere spread around.

Yuzuha's eyes fell on the wooden floor, unable to see his face.

He didn't speak, so she could only keep kneeling like this, blood oozing out from the wounds on her knees and wrists, feeling faintly hot and painful.

I don't know how long it took before his suppressed angry voice sounded, "What a nonsense. How many S-level missions have you taken on in a month?"

Yuzuye answered him expressionlessly: "Only three times."

"Three times? Are you crazy!" He yelled through gritted teeth.

If she hadn't still been wearing this outfit, Teacher Nakajima would have jumped up and beaten her up.

He raised his hand and put it down again, and finally tightened his grip on the tea cup, "It's a good fortune for you to come back alive."

That's a real pity, Yuzuha raised the corners of her mouth mockingly.

"You're still laughing!" Nakajimayo instantly became furious.

Yuye:......

She rolled her eyes at the teacher who had finally regained some of his former self, and said calmly: "You are wrong, I didn't smile."

Nakajima Dai choked on her.

As if he thought of something, the new consultant's eyes became guilty again.

As if she was pitying someone, Yu Ye felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

So she spoke first and broke the silence, "You're not looking for me just to scold me, are you?"

"Of course not." Nakashimayo was made to lose his temper by her, and his voice was weak.

As he spoke, he hesitated, and even after opening his mouth several times, no word came out.

Yuzuye was quite patiently waiting for his next words. She looked at his expression and kept guessing in her heart.

Which high-level executive should she be asked to assassinate? Or should she be separated from the ANBU?

It doesn’t matter what it is anyway.

Teacher Nakajima took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said sincerely: "I want you to...um...come back to me again, is that okay?"

Yuzuha:...?

Why does it feel weird coming out of your mouth?

She raised her eyebrows and said meaningfully: "Teacher, when you say this, it's a bit like a person who has always given up and finally wakes up and looks back."

"Hey," he laughed and winked at her, "are you allowed to say such nonsense?"

Yuzuha also laughed with him.

"Then will you agree?" Nakashimayo touched his chin, "At least, I think I still have some ability to protect you now."

At this time, the teacher still confidently believed that it was safe to put her next to him.

Youye sat down cross-legged, extremely confused: "Does this kind of thing still need my consent?"

Nakashimayo replied: "I have already told you, Hokage-sama, and also your clan leader."

"What do they mean?"

"Of course there is nothing wrong with Hokage-sama, but... your clan leader seems..."

Yuye held her chin up and raised her eyelids, "Clan leader... doesn't he agree?"

"Not at all..."

After thinking for a moment, Nakashimadai put his hand into a fist and put it to his lips, and suddenly lowered his voice, "Do you know how important the Mangekyo is to the Uchiha clan?"

"know."

He continued: "Then you should also be aware of Uchiha's awkward position in the village."

——After the Kyuubi Rebellion, he was forced to move to the edge of the village and was monitored by ANBU.

Counting all the families in detail, there should be no one more "honored" than the Uchiha clan...

As the arrogant Uchiha clan, they were naturally dissatisfied with this move, which led to a monthly gathering, and the number of participants was gradually expanding.

From people from the police department to their families, and now there are scattered civilians involved...

Yu Ye thought about it one after another, and after thinking about a certain moment, her heart suddenly stopped.

She raised her head and her eyes fell on the person opposite her in disbelief.

The shadows of the trees outside the window are whirling, and even the familiar faces will become extremely strange in the flickering of light and shadow.

He met her gaze and nodded hesitantly.

Yuye said with some difficulty: "What do you mean..."

Nakajimayo rubbed his temples, "You are my most trusted disciple, so I don't want to hide it from you. As you think, Uchiha is ready to make a move."

Yuzuha's brows jumped, and the fingers hanging by her side suddenly tightened, "...but don't forget, my surname is also Uchiha."

"I will not betray my family." She raised her head and said seriously.

After a long silence, Nakashimayo spoke: "But you can't let go of this village, can you?"

As if a secret deep inside her heart had been poked, the girl's hands trembled and she grasped the hem of her clothes.

She raised her head and lowered her gaze.

"Because of the war, loved ones sacrificed for the village, and companions and teachers died as a result," Nakashimayo said with a hint of chill in his tone, "You won't bear to see the war break out again, Yuzuha."

Yu Ye's face became pale and decayed inch by inch.

In the silent room, the teacher's voice was strange and clear, "Yuye, I'm not forcing you to take sides. It would be best if both parties can reconcile, but if something goes wrong, they will have final considerations."

His voice softened, "I don't want you to be dragged into this muddy water by them, and if you continue to stay with the Sandaime Hokage, I will make you do some messy things..."

——As for what kind of things, he didn't want to think deeply about it, and he didn't want to tell her.

"I don't want to make it too difficult for you." He said slowly, his eyes falling on her face.

Yuzu clutched the wound on her wrist tightly, with cold sweat covering her forehead.

She didn't speak, and Nakajima Dai didn't rush her.

After a while, Yuye finally recovered.

She raised her eyebrows and asked softly: "...Who are they?"

This time, Nakashimayo answered without hesitation: "The Sandaime and the remaining advisors."

The hot wind filled the curtains, making a tiny scraping sound.

It was obviously a scorching summer day, but Yue Ye only felt cold sweat running down her spine and a chill to her bones.

Letting the cold sweat flow freely on her palms, she frowned and murmured: "How did you know so quickly?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Yuzuha felt stupid.

The Sandaime Hokage has Uchiha Shisui by his side, and there are many Anbu monitoring the clan. They know what those people want to do.

It’s ridiculous that the patriarch and the others are still kept in the dark.

"But it's not serious." Nakashimadai smiled at her reassuringly.

He handed a handkerchief to her, "Nothing has happened now, there is still room for recovery."

Yuzuhe held out his hand hesitantly.

Nakajima Dai couldn't help but put the handkerchief into her hand and said: "If we really want to do something, let the two sides try to reach a reconciliation."

His eyebrows raised slightly, as if he had returned to the look he had when we first met him, "Don't worry, I'm here, I will help you."

……

Time passed leisurely.

In the autumn of Konoha 49, news of Orochimaru's defection came.

After Yuzuha received the hunting mission, it only took half a day to find the rebellious ninja in the vast forest of the Land of Fire.

As soon as they met, Yu Ye understood it——

He was here specifically waiting for her arrival, just like waiting for prey to get into a cage.

Feeling the cold chakra, Yuzu held the kunai across her chest tighter, and the scarlet eyes exposed from the mask stared coldly at the person with his arms crossed.

Even though he was covered in mud and wounds, Orochimaru smiled calmly.

"Even with the mask on, I know it's you..." His golden vertical pupils narrowed slightly, and his hoarse voice could not hide the joy in it: "Yu Ye, we meet again."

The named girl simply blocked his path dutifully.

Orochimaru's smile did not change, "You have been forced to look like that, but you are still doing things for them. Don't you feel tired?"

Yuzu frowned and raised her chin: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Do you want to come with me?" Orochimaru's smile gradually deepened, "I will fulfill your wish without using too much energy..."

His hoarse voice was filled with endless temptation, "I will let you meet again."

The cool wind that came from nowhere picked up the fallen leaves.

His reflection uncontrollably appeared in her mind again. The kunai in her hand loosened and she unconsciously took a step towards him.

"How is it?" Seeing this, the curvature of the man's mouth widened a little.

One step away from him, Yuye stopped vigilantly, frowned and asked: "Then, what do I need to exchange for?"

Orochimaru slowly stretched out his hand to her, "It doesn't take much, I just need your eyes, and you can be with him forever..."

Trading a pair of eyes for his life sounds like a good deal.

The desire in her heart gradually increased, and she placed her trembling palm on his palm, and her whole body slowly fell down.

"No need to be bound by the family anymore..."

Come closer……

"You don't have to trade your life for those trivial honors..."

a little closer...

The coveted Sharingan is just around the corner.

Orochimaru raised his arm slightly, and just as he was about to catch her, the girl in front of him suddenly dropped a kunai from his sleeve, and stabbed his arm with quick eyes and hands.

He was caught off guard and blood splattered.

Orochimaru covered his arms and took a few steps back. Under his frown, his golden snake eyes became gloomy.

Yu Ye distanced herself from him and tightened her grip on the weapon in her hand.

"You're wrong. I don't want to trade my life for the honor of my family." She mocked.

"Oh?"

The black-haired girl took a breath and began to form fluid seals in her hands, "Also, I will never forget that you are the one who wants to take my life, and I will never believe you."

The exploding flames rolled over with heat waves, entangled with several chaotic snake shadows.

When Kakashi found Yuzuha, she was standing upright among the scorched trees, with many shurikens and kunai scattered around.

She didn't wear a mask, showing her face full of depression and exhaustion.

It seemed that nothing happened and he was not messing around. Kakashi's hanging heart immediately fell to the ground.

She seemed so focused that she didn't notice his approach.

Kakashi stood behind her and coughed.

Hearing the movement, the girl who was still immersed in her thoughts finally turned her head, "Your mask..."

Kakashi touched the blood slowly dripping from his forehead and replied concisely, "I couldn't stop him."

Yuzuha nodded and bent down to pick up the kunai on the ground.

In the silence, the young man's young and hoarse voice suddenly came from behind her, "...that person didn't say anything to you."

The movement of his men paused, and Yuzuye answered decisively: "No."

"……That's good."

……

After briefly explaining her duties to the two adults, the first thing Yuzu did was to find Kaguya.

At this time, she was doing rehabilitation and correction for a child.

The setting sun shines through the transparent windows and spreads on the ground like brocade.

Another black-haired girl picked up the young child and smiled with crooked eyebrows.

Yuzuye also smiled silently.

Not wanting to disturb such a peaceful time, she leaned against the door frame and looked at it quietly for a long time.

As time passed slowly, the increasingly obvious smell of blood made the sensitive medical ninja raise his head in awareness.

As if thinking of something, Hua Ye turned around suddenly.

What caught his eye was a girl in a cloak leaning against the door frame with a tired face, taking a nap with her eyes closed.

She is really tired.

Thinking at this point, Hua Ye sighed inaudibly and wanted to take the child back to the ward.

However, just after taking a few steps, Yuzuo woke up alertly.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked softly: "...are you finished?"

Huaye nodded.

She held the child, who blinked with big eyes and looked at the visitor full of curiosity, and said, "You go over there to rest. I'll take him back first."

Yuzuye said "oh" but covered the wound without moving.

When Hua Ye came back, she was startled by the strong smell of blood.

She looked at the pale girl with messy hair and snorted coldly, "Won't you take care of it yourself first?"

"Sorry." The girl carefully apologized to her and sat down on the chair, "I forgot this time."

"Really, Teacher Nakajima has clearly restricted your tasks, so why are you still like this?" Hua Ye complained while using scissors to cut open her blood-soaked clothes.

The black clothes were soaked in blood and dried, and had long been stuck to the wound.

Yuzuha snorted, and the knuckles holding the back of the chair turned white, "Don't ask, ANBU's missions are kept secret."

"It must be a mission issued by the Sandaime," Hana Ye said thoughtfully, "I heard that Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, defected."

The air suddenly became stagnant, and the atmosphere became dull and depressing.

After a long time, Youye asked with a hint of hope: "Huaye... tell me, is there really a forbidden technique in this world that can bring people back to life?"

Huaye's hand holding the scissors couldn't help but tremble, almost poking her wound.

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and finally they were summed up in one sentence: "It's impossible."

Hearing this, Yuzu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Really... I'm still looking forward to it."

"Huh?" Hua Ye raised his head and looked at her, "Did someone tell you something?"

"Someone wanted to use my eyes to make a deal with me, but -" Yuzuye raised her eyebrows and said in a longer tone, "I rejected it."

Hua Ye scoffed, she rolled her eyes, and her eyes fell on her back.

——The naked/white/skinned back is covered with scars, and the raised butterfly bone is so fragile that it gives people the illusion that it will break at the touch of a button.

"Really, pay more attention to your body." She couldn't help but persuade her.

"I think so too," Yuba Yoshimasa replied sternly, "But you also know the Uchiha clan..."

Hua Ye couldn't help but interrupt her, "But, with Teacher Nakajima and Shisui, you don't have to do this..."

"Please, does Mr. Nakajima have the word 'Uchiha' hanging on his forehead?"

Yuye turned around, pressed her hand, and said seriously: "Hanaye, Shisui are still young, I can't put all the burden on their heads, I am the oldest one .”

Hua Ye was stunned for a moment by what she said.

"Okay, stop making excuses," she reacted, using a little force in her hands, "You clearly have selfish motives."

Ah, exposed.

Yuye laughed, only to feel pain in her waist, "Hey, please be gentle."

Hua Yecai didn't bother to pay attention to her.

She changed the topic casually, "By the way, do you still have the medicine? Logically speaking, you should have come here to fill it up a long time ago."

Yuzuha: Oops! Completely forgot about it.

She showed a guilty expression and couldn't help but laugh.

Hua Ye still didn't understand. She took a deep breath and said, "You forgot to take your medicine again, didn't you?"

Yuzu couldn't help but argue in a low voice: "No."

"You know the side effects of the Sharingan, right?" Kaguya tied the bandage in her hand tightly and threatened: "When you go blind, I will throw you directly into Orochimaru's snake cave."

Thinking of the dense group of snakes, Yu Ye felt a chill in her heart.

Her eyes subconsciously became erratic, and she began to make excuses for herself frantically: "Actually, I've been too busy recently. It's all my fault..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a cool touch on his eyelids.

Huaye's face suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes, and Yuye leaned back unconsciously, "What are you doing?"

"Let me check you out. You haven't taken any medicine for a while."

"no……"

Hua Ye didn't expose her, but warned her earnestly: "Don't use the Sharingan. I don't want to ration your brother's medicine at all."

"I know," Yuzuha put on her clothes and leaned back lazily on the chair, "I'll take a rest here, I'm a little tired."

Hua Ye nodded, grabbed the rolled cloak and tried to cover her.

As soon as it was shaken open, a "pop" was heard, and a white medicine jar fell from it and rolled twice on the ground.

"I'm sorry." Hua Ye quickly picked it up, only to feel that there was something wrong with the sound.

She opened it curiously, but what hit her face was not the bitterness of the medicine, but a sweet taste.

——It’s full of all kinds of shiny, round candies.

The appearance was so familiar that Hua Ye recalled the summer long ago, and she couldn't remember how many years ago it was.

She closed the bottle cap in a funny way and threw it back to the black-haired girl, "Don't you like sweets? Are you afraid of tooth decay?"

Yuye smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, life is too hard."

……

Days like this flew by.

From time to time, Yuye would take time to visit the commemorative monument and carefully count more and more names attached to that name.

As she counted slowly, she thought endlessly——

When can we meet again?

In deep thought, her eyes measured inch by inch, and she felt a bit regretful.

By the time her name was engraved on it, she didn't know how far away from his name it would be.

……

Another place, in a dark cave.

Without paying attention, several brand-new fan bones that had just been whittled with kunai fell from his hand again.

He picked them up again very patiently, his eyes under the mask turned slightly, "Jue?"

"Madara, the fourth Mizukage Yagura has succeeded."

His blood-filled pupils narrowed slightly, he put down the things in his hands, stood up and said, "I understand."
