【Naruto】Hyuga Neji’s Beautiful Life

Theoretically, there is no real darkness on Earth. At least, in the world of ninjas, they have not yet obtained the raw materials to make darkness - a material that is opaque in a practical sense.

But now, Uchiha Sasuke can clearly feel that he is in the true "theoretical" darkness. It's not like you can't see your fingers, but it's a perception on a spiritual level. As a human soul, it reminds its owner that it is not in the familiar world at this moment.

He sank to the bottom like drowning, feeling suffocated.

Just now...just now, I was fighting to the death with that man: Uchiha Itachi, but at the moment when he released the Yamata no Jutsu, he fell into darkness. Uchiha Itachi was far stronger than he thought, but the only way he could go was to kill Uchiha Itachi.

From the beginning of the genocide, he has only lived for this one thing. Uchiha Itachi left his body but took away his soul. The Avengers, from the very beginning, only need revenge.

As for Uchiha Itachi's entanglement from the beginning of the battle - he seemed to want to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he was suppressed by some emotion.

Sasuke should have recognized that emotion, but he couldn't connect it with Uchiha Itachi.

That cold-blooded brother who killed all his clan and defected to Konoha, would show such complex emotions of shyness, entanglement, shame, regret, and so on?

No, any human would find this completely unrealistic.

The young man fell into darkness and his consciousness drifted away. He may have sensed the approach of death and the separation of the body, but all that came to his mind was: the brother who is always recognized by his father, the brother who always does everything well. , the brother who always said next time, and Uchiha Itachi, who was gone as a rebellious nin and never returned.

He hasn't killed that man with his own hands yet!

But the warmth of the past was like arsenic in honey. From the depths of darkness, thick and sticky tentacles stretched out to wrap around the young man.

It says:

"Relax, open your eyes again, and everything will go as you wish."

"Here, your beloved family is waiting for you."

"The brother who always keeps his word will no longer appear."

"My parents will only see 'Uchiha Sasuke' in their eyes, not Uchiha Itachi."

"Close your eyes and sink..."

"Everything you pursue will be found here..."

"Quiet, peaceful, without strife and death..."

The translucent soul slowly emerged from the body and floated into the bottomless darkness. But Sasuke always felt that something was wrong and wanted to float upwards, but was unable to move due to suffocation.

A strange yet familiar voice came from above:

"What, the last genius of the Uchiha clan is only of this level."

"You can follow the other person in just a few words."

"In a while, I won't even know who I am anymore."

Sasuke's consciousness was still hazy, and he could only judge the general content of the other party's words. He was about to become angry when he was dragged down further.

"Woo..."

Once a drowning person becomes entangled in aquatic plants, there is almost no possibility of survival.

The darkness is cold and devoid of temperature, but the temperature belonging to the soul is about to be exhausted.

Is he going to die? This sounds like a good idea too.

Just didn't kill the man...

Before he died, he could only think of the good things about that man. I'm sorry, fellow Uchiha people...

I have not forgotten my hatred, I just want to call him "brother" again before I die.

Maybe I'm not suitable to be an Uchiha, but more suitable to be Sasuke.

...

"Can you give him back to me first?"

"It's not yet time."

"His brother is still outside waiting for him... to come home."

The waterweed wrapped around Sasuke seemed to be hesitating. It was shaking slightly, as if it was negotiating terms with the person who made the sound.

"Summon all the ghosts!"

It seems that the negotiation failed and the waterweed angered the man.

Sasuke was in chaos, but he felt that his soul had returned to its original place. He couldn't fully open his eyes, so he could only squint through a narrow gap and observe the situation outside.

Dark, no light, where does the reflection come from, how can he see?

But by chance, he saw it.

Buddha beads as big as half a head surround a person, and the light covers them, making it difficult to see the specific face.

"Hinata...Neji."

He was thinking just now about which happy child and brother were waiting for him to come home.

It turned out to be him.

Sasuke saw the prayer beads spinning around and spitting out a gray-white soul - he was very familiar with it, wasn't it the good master Orochimaru.

Before the boy had time to think about it, he felt a warm feeling on his arm.

Different from darkness, it is the temperature of a living person.

Is it Hyuga Neji?

...

When Sasuke regained consciousness again, there was a bonfire in front of him. The bonfire is surrounded by golden Buddha beads, which seem to use the power of these beads to maintain the flame.

There are even traces of drilling into the wood to make fire...

"Where...is this?"

He could barely open his eyes, and his robes were soaked, making the sound of liquid falling on the ground from time to time.

It can be said to be the ground. Where is the ground here?

It's just darkness, with no boundaries and no volume. There is only a bonfire here.

But it was this bonfire that gave Uchiha Sasuke his human color.

After almost five minutes, the young man sat up crookedly. Not surprisingly, he found the man beside the campfire.

What's even more annoying is that he has his eyes open.

He would blink his eyes from time to time, and he looked completely awake no matter how he looked.

When a normal person hears someone ask "Where is this?" they will probably reply with a voice! Whether they know it or not...after all, there are only two of them here.

"Hey..."

Uchiha Sasuke glanced angrily at Hinata Neji, who was lying on his side with his back to the bonfire. He was dressed in white, with only the cuffs and pants black - they were all wet now and stuck to their master.

"..."

He looked at those white eyes and blinked twice, as if in response.

Maybe, it's not impatient or just ignoring?

He tentatively moved to Neji's side and put his palm on his forehead. Sure enough, he felt cold sweat on his hand - that's not what the liquid was for.

"Hey...are you okay?"

Anyone with eyes can see that he couldn't be worse. But Uchiha Sasuke still asked, "Are you okay?" But the other party turned out to be serious and blinked.

Do you mean it's okay?

Uchiha Sasuke had nothing on him except this wet and extremely revealing outfit. Even if something happens to Hinata Neji, he can't do anything.

Fortunately, people said he was fine. But he just didn’t open his mouth.

Sasuke looked at Neji and blinked a few more times. The bonfire flickered and then went out. The beads surrounding the bonfire entered Neji's joints, mouth, nose, and ears respectively.
