Naruto hodgepodge
Chapter 99: The Night of Genocide
In the early morning of Konoha, the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkles on the courtyard of the Uchiha family, giving this quiet morning a warm golden color. Uchiha Itachi got up earlier than usual and quietly walked into the kitchen. Soon, the kitchen was filled with the tempting aroma of food. It was the breakfast Itachi prepared for his family, hot rice porridge, paired with the side dishes he made by himself and freshly baked bread. Every bite contained his deep affection for his family.
When Itachi walked out of the kitchen with a sumptuous breakfast, the first thing that greeted him was the gentle smile of his mother Mikoto. Mikoto took the tray from Itachi, her eyes slightly moist, and said softly: "Itachi, you are really your mother's pride. It's so thoughtful to get up so early to prepare breakfast for the family." Her words were full of love and pride for her son.
At this time, his father Fugaku walked out of the study with a slightly heavy expression on his face, as if he was still thinking about the complicated relationship between the family and the village. But seeing Itachi's busy figure and the rich breakfast on the table, his eyes softened a lot, and he gently patted Itachi's shoulder and said in his unique calm voice: "Itachi, you did a good job."
Sasuke rubbed his sleepy eyes, as if he had just returned from an adventure in his dream. After a simple wash, he walked into the restaurant filled with tempting aromas with light steps. The morning light shone through the window and sprinkled on his young but energetic face, adding a bit of liveliness and color to the early morning scene. When he saw the dazzling and colorful food on the table, Sasuke's eyes lit up instantly, as if the whole world had become beautiful. He cheered, quickly sat down at the table, and couldn't wait to pick up the tableware and prepare to feast.
"Wow, my brother made breakfast! It looks delicious!" Sasuke's cheers were full of innocence and joy. He didn't care about his image at all, and tasted every dish with big mouthfuls, his face filled with a satisfied and happy smile. That look was like he had obtained the most precious treasure in the world, and Mikoto, who was watching from the side, felt warm and relieved.
Seeing this, Mikoto raised a gentle smile. She walked to Sasuke, patted him on the back gently, and said lovingly: "Sasuke, seeing you eating so happily, mom is very happy too. But don't forget to thank brother. He got up early in the morning to prepare this delicious food for us." Hearing this, Sasuke looked up at Itachi, still chewing food in his mouth, and said vaguely but with gratitude: "Thank you, brother..." After that, he lowered his head embarrassedly, with two red clouds on his cheeks.
Itachi sat aside, looking at Sasuke with his deep and gentle eyes, full of love and care. He reached out and gently rubbed Sasuke's slightly messy hair, as if conveying his love and encouragement to his brother in his own way. However, Sasuke seemed a little shy, or felt that he was already a big boy and didn't need his brother to treat him like this, so he shook his head gently and escaped from Itachi's "claws", but the upward arc at the corner of his mouth revealed his inner joy and happiness.
Mikoto was moved by this scene. She turned to look at her eldest son Itachi, who was eating quietly, with pride and admiration in her eyes. "Itachi is such a gentle and good brother." Her words were full of affection and emotion, as if she was celebrating the harmony and happiness of this family.
Although Fugaku usually kept a serious face, he couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile in this warm atmosphere. Although he didn't say much, the gentle echo and the approving look when he looked at Itachi were enough to express his recognition and pride in his son.
However, in this harmony and happiness, Sasuke's heart quietly aroused a little emotion. He saw his parents praising Itachi, but he seemed to be forgotten in the corner, and he couldn't help feeling a little lost. "So I am redundant..." He thought to himself, but this emotion was quickly melted by the warmth and happiness around him. He knew that in this family, everyone is indispensable, and he is trying to become the one who can make his family proud.
Itachi noticed Sasuke's mood change, he gently patted Sasuke's shoulder, and conveyed encouragement and comfort with his eyes. Sasuke felt his brother's support and understanding, and the haze in his heart instantly dissipated. He looked up at Itachi, and the two smiled at each other, as if all the words were self-evident.
Mikoto immediately noticed Sasuke's thoughts and added with a smile: "Of course, Sasuke also has his merits to be proud of. Mom has seen your progress and hard work. You must continue to work hard today and become a better person together with your brother." As she spoke, she gently ruffled Sasuke's hair, giving him the same encouragement and affirmation.
After hearing this, Sasuke's eyes lit up and a smile returned to his face. He nodded vigorously, as if he had gained the greatest motivation: "Yes! I will, Mom! I will become a powerful ninja like my brother!"
Itachi finished his breakfast quickly and orderly. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. Before leaving the table, his father's deep and expectant voice echoed in his ears: "Itachi, don't forget our action tonight. This is of great significance to Uchiha." Itachi paused slightly, and his eyes met with his father's. It was a tacit understanding and trust that did not need to be said. He nodded gently.
Soon after, Sasuke also finished his breakfast time, picked up his schoolbag, and set off for the ninja school. When passing by the old pancake shop at the entrance of the village, a tempting aroma came to his nose, making people slow down their pace.
In front of the pancake shop, Uncle Tesaki was wearing reading glasses and reading the Konoha Daily attentively, his brows were furrowed and his mouth was upturned, as if he was deeply attracted by the content of the newspaper. His wife Aunt Jing was busy tidying up the shop, skillfully taking out the steaming pancakes from the pan and placing them on the plate, ready to greet the upcoming customers.
Seeing Sasuke passing by, Aunt Jap greeted him with a smile: "Hey, little Sasuke, are you going to school? You must be full of energy today!" Her voice was warm and kind, as if it could dispel the last bit of chill in the morning.
Sasuke stopped and responded politely: "Yes, Aunt Jyo, good morning! Your pancakes smell so good, I will buy one to try after school." As he said that, he also winked at Uncle Teiyaki mischievously, and the uncle also looked up, smiled from the edge of the newspaper, and said humorously: "Little Sasuke, you must study hard, and you can't be without pancakes, otherwise how can you grow up?"
In a quiet corner of Class 201 of the Ninja Academy, the spring sun shines through the window, dappling on the desks, but it cannot completely dispel the heaviness and uneasiness in the air. Sakura is staring at Sasuke sitting next to her, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes, including worry, confusion, and a deep sense of powerlessness.
As Sakura grows up, it becomes easier and easier for Sakura-ge to synchronize with her. Unlike Kurama and Nine-Tails, who experienced two worlds with different self-perceptions, they are originally from the same world, and it won't be long before they no longer exist as independent individuals.
Sasuke is about to face a turning point in his fate. Although Sakura does not fully understand the heavy secrets behind Sasuke's family, she can vaguely feel the shadow hanging over him. The Uchiha clan was suddenly destroyed by Uchiha Itachi. Even her master, the fifth generation Tsunade, knows very little about the reasons behind it. She can only sigh silently at the impermanence and cruelty of the world.
After receiving the synchronized memory of Sakura, Sakura's heart was shrouded by an unprecedented heaviness. She clearly foresaw that Sasuke was about to step into the valley of despair, an abyss that she could hardly reach with her current strength. This foresight made her anxious and eager to become Sasuke's pillar in her own way, hoping to illuminate his way forward even if it was just a glimmer of light.
However, reality was like a cold iron wall, isolating her enthusiasm and determination. She realized that she was still too young, without the strong strength she would have in the future, and without the prominent background of being a disciple of the Hokage. All this made her feel unprecedented powerlessness and frustration. This feeling of powerlessness was like a huge rock pressing on her chest, making her almost breathless, but she knew that crying and escaping were not the solution.
In such a desperate situation, Sakura couldn't help but think of Naruto in her mind, the brother who was brave and unafraid of difficulties. However, when she looked around, she found that Naruto's seat was empty, and a faint sense of loss came over her, but she quickly adjusted her mood. She also understood that Naruto was also a child now and couldn't help her at all.
Sakura took a deep breath and fixed her eyes firmly on Sasuke again. She knew that even if she couldn't provide any substantial help now, she would stay with Sasuke in her own way. She could use her tenderness and care to provide a peaceful haven for his tired heart, and she could use her tenacity and courage to inspire him to face the coming storm.
So, Sakura put away her loss and powerlessness, and continued to watch Sasuke silently with a more mature and determined attitude. She believed that as long as there was love and faith in her heart, one day, she would become Sasuke's strongest backing in her own way.
Sasuke's profile was more three-dimensional under the light. He frowned slightly, and the doubt and puzzlement he inadvertently revealed made everything around him look dim. In his eyes, there was both confusion about today's abnormality and a subtle curiosity. He occasionally observed this guy, because Sakura was now tied with Naruto for first place in the class in theory, and tied with himself and the white-eyed boy in actual combat. Although Sasuke usually ignored the so-called female fans, he was still very proud in his heart when they admired him. "Is this guy possessed today? He doesn't usually look at me." Sasuke muttered, and then he also looked at Sakura who was looking at him.
"My heart is beating so fast. There's a reason why so many people like him." Sakura's fingertips gently stroked the pages of the book. She seemed to be concentrating, but in fact she was in a state of confusion. A faint blush appeared on her cheeks, like the first blooming cherry blossoms in spring, shy and beautiful. When her eyes met with Sasuke's, her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, as if a little deer was running around in her chest. She tried to make herself look natural, but the panic that was hard to hide was like transparent water drops, shining in the sun, and could not be ignored.
The students around them were either thinking or writing furiously, but no one noticed the subtle emotional exchange between the two. At this moment, their world seemed to be paused by time, with only their eyes on each other, conveying thousands of words in silence.
At this moment, the teacher's voice sounded at the right time, pulling the two people's thoughts back to the classroom. "This strange woman." Sasuke quickly adjusted his state and devoted himself to studying. He knew that to become a ninja like his brother, he needed countless efforts and sweat.
Early this morning, Naruto went directly to the Hokage's office, and helped the Third Hokage to review some documents and make some arrangements. He knew that Obito would come today, and what would he do if he was captured? Now Konoha is safer in the Hokage's office building. After all, there is still a sealing barrier here. Without the Samsara Eye, Obito would not have the courage to break into the Hokage building with the Sharingan. The Third Hokage also knew that Naruto's safety was also crucial to the big operation tonight, so he asked Naruto to help him deal with the documents, and he was ready to deal with this conflict.
Originally, according to the report of the Uchiha traitor Uchiha Itachi, the Uchiha would launch a coup tonight. For the safety of Konoha, they must take action this time. According to the Third Hokage's idea, they would only fight with the Uchiha in the end. Fighting is inevitable, so they can only try their best to save the remaining women and children. The Uchiha's change plan is too slow and needs time. At this juncture, the Uchiha has already launched a coup, so there are naturally other ways. Naruto thought of the sealing technique inherited by their Sarutobi clan during the Warring States Period in the secret storage in the warehouse. Through the sealing technique, those Uchiha who attempted a coup were temporarily sealed in the scroll, and then trained and transformed one by one.
