A total of twenty corpses were lying scattered in the forest, and ANBU in twos and threes were handling the follow-up work.

Beside their busy figures, Uchiha Naraku and Itachi stood quietly.

Uchiha Itachi stood there gloomily. Although his face seemed calm, looking at him without saying a word, Naraku knew in his heart that he was probably still very sad at the moment.

Because, a few minutes ago, they finally confirmed one thing from the ANBU, that is, the leader of the Uchiha clan, that is, Itachi's father, Uchiha Fugaku, was indeed killed in the battle.

After hearing the news, Itachi, who originally had a glimmer of hope, fell silent.

Although in his previous life, this man had personally killed his parents, it was indeed a painful decision he made after being forced to have no other choice.

In this life, he had not experienced the days that almost drove him crazy. At this moment, the young man was indeed immersed in endless sadness.

To this day, he can still recall the last words his father said to him the night before yesterday, which are also words his father often talks about:

Remember, no matter what, I am always proud of you.

But he failed to respond to his father's expectations. After all, he couldn't protect anything. Thinking about it this way, his life was really a failure.

Thinking of this, Itachi turned around. He didn't want the girl in front of him to see his wet eyes.

"..."

Naraku didn't feel very good. After all, Uchiha Fugaku's death had indeed saved her life. She also wanted to comfort the young man in front of her who was immersed in sadness, but for a moment he was at a loss for words.

She couldn't help but brush the broken hair around her ears, blinked her cute big eyes, what could she say? To comfort the man, I don’t have much experience myself.

Naraku thought for a long time, and finally recalled that he seemed to have a girlfriend in his last life. When her grandmother passed away, he seemed to have comforted her, and the effect seemed to be quite good at that time!

Yes, just do it this way, you are really a genius!

She slowly walked up to Itachi Uchiha. When Itachi was still dazed, she hugged his head, then touched his head gently and said:

"Stop crying, from now on, I will protect you on behalf of...Uncle Fugaku!"

At this moment, Itachi was suddenly hugged, and his mind was completely blank. What was going on? Naraku actually took the initiative to hug him?

Moreover, Naraku actually said that he would always protect himself? Is this a confession to yourself?

Wait, wait, that’s not right, I am a boy, how can I be protected by Naraku? I should obviously protect her forever!

I must never live up to Naraku-chan's tenderness, and I can't be depressed anymore. I think my father doesn't want to see me like this. No matter how sad I am, as a man, I have to cheer up.

Thinking of this, Itachi Uchiha held Naraku's shoulders, lifted her up to a position just facing his face, and then said solemnly:

"No! I should be the one to say this, Naraku, let me be your patron saint in this life!"

[Congratulations to the host, your friendship with Uchiha Itachi has increased and you have gained 100 currency points. 】

Uchiha Naraku continued to blink his big eyes, looking confused. What the hell is going on? This currency always feels a bit awkward to hold?

I'm just going to comfort you, don't think too much, and I'm not a panacea, so you don't have to regain your energy so quickly!

By the way, who will protect you for the rest of your life? In two years, I will be able to dominate the ninja world. By then, I will be the god of the ninja world. Men will only slow down the speed of me drawing my sword.

Thinking of this, Naraku broke away from Itachi's hand, and then said with a smile:

"Don't talk nonsense, Itachi-kun, you can't just promise such a thing to a girl."

"Do not..."

Just when Itachi was about to explain, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the two of them and interrupted Uchiha Itachi's words.

"Hey! Naraku-chan, it's great that you're okay. I told you that if it were you, nothing would happen to you. I stared at the roots all night last night, and finally I discovered something fishy. Now, I have a day. I have great news for you!"

The two of them turned around and took a closer look. The person coming was the smiling Kakashi Hatake!

Uchiha Itachi gritted his teeth and stared at Kakashi's face. Sure enough, this person was so annoying!

"Ah, Kakashi-senpai, what's the good news?"

When Naraku saw Kakashi running over, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief in his heart, finally escaping again.

It seems that next time I interact with Itachi, I must be more careful and careful! But we can't make the same mistake again.

"Naraku-chan, I captured the prisoner who captured your brother last night, and he is now in the ANBU's prison. Although he has always been very tough-talking, don't worry, even if he doesn't speak, ANBU has many ways to be direct. Learn everything you want from his mind."

Kakashi ran over and patted Naraku on the shoulder, as if he had made a great contribution, as if he was waiting for Naraku to praise him.

It wasn't until he waited for a while and Naraku didn't say a word that he felt something was wrong. Why was this different from what he imagined? He originally thought that upon hearing the news, Naraku would be so surprised that he would jump into his arms!

"What's wrong? Naraku-chan? Are you not surprised at all?"

"What's my surprise? Kakashi-senpai, did you misunderstand something? I don't have a brother at all."

Uchiha Naraku was speechless. What the hell is going on today? Kakashi is really capable. I don’t know which unlucky guy he caught.

......

And in the ANBU prison, a certain unfortunate guy with a bruised nose and face was staring blankly at the damp ceiling of the dungeon. (What kind of brother is he? I was so wronged!)

(ps: Well...it’s early to write and post early today.)
