Shocked! I can't hide my tears!

"Is that so, Mr. Kakashi? I must be even more powerful than Sasuke!" Naruko waved her little fists, her little face full of excitement.

She would never lose to that idiot Sasuke. She would definitely be stronger than him in the future, a hundred times stronger than him.

"Just you? You'd better stop daydreaming, you're the last one." Sasuke mocked mercilessly.

Looking at the small interaction between Sasuke and Naruto, there were faint warm laughter in the office, and Itachi narrowed his eyes and watched this scene..

"Naruto-kun, thank you for making friends with Sasuke." Itachi murmured in his heart, but his eyes were unusually gentle.

【On the screen】

[As the Rasengan and Chidori collided, the entire scene slowly became blurred, and then, there was a golden and brilliant space...]

[In this brilliant space, Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other calmly..]

[“Sasuke…”]

[“You know, the people in the village used to hate me because of the Nine-Tailed Fox in my body. I also hated the people in the village and thought about revenge…”]

[In the picture, Naruto looks at the other person and calmly tells about his past..]

[“If there is a slight deviation, I might do something terrible like you and think about destroying Konoha…” Naruto muttered, describing his pain.]

[Sasuke was unusually calm, quietly acting as a companion.]

"Naruto-kun..." Hinata looked at the sky and saw Naruto's painful expression, and her heart ached.

Iruka also had the same idea, his eyes filled with tears and heartache.

The entire ninja world was much quieter at this moment, listening quietly to Naruto's narration of pain in the picture...

[The scene changes, and along with Naruto's perspective, that is Naruto's childhood memory, emerging in the sky...]

[“Why do you still keep that thing in Konoha Village? Why don’t you lock him up? Why don’t you think about us, Sandaime-sama?”]

[“Get out of here, you monster! Monsters like you are not welcome in my store!”]

[“It’s him. He’s the one who killed…”]

The Jinchuriki of the ninja world looked at the scene on the screen and fell silent.

Obviously they are not the protagonists, but why do these scenes seem so familiar, as if they have experienced them personally?

That kind of pain, that kind of being excluded, isolated, hated for no reason, that kind of suffocating coldness, the feeling of loneliness...

Aren't they the same? They have done nothing, have no memory, understand nothing, and are excluded for no reason.

They have all thought about whether there is any meaning in their existence?

[“Why, why on earth? Why does everyone treat me like this?”]

[“Why does even the homeroom teacher have this expression?”]

["I'm not a bacteria nor a nuisance, I'm... I'm Uzumaki Naruto!"]

[That was young Naruto, shouting at the villagers who were ostracizing him. He had done nothing wrong, so why were they doing this to him? ]

[What did I do wrong? What is the meaning of my existence? What do I exist for? Being excluded, isolated, hated, and treated as a monster...]

[As a young boy, he didn’t understand or comprehend.]

That feeling of not being needed by anyone, that feeling of suffocation, made the ninja world sigh.

The Kage-level masters of the five great nations were also silent. They all understood what had happened to the Jinchūriki, but they could not change the status quo.

"This child is so pitiful. It must be very difficult for him to grow up so healthy without parents, right?"

"Wuwuwu, you Konoha are so inhuman. You force a child into this. Are you still human?"

"I really want to hug him. It must have been hard to go there, right? It must have been very difficult and painful, right?"

All the tender-hearted women in the ninja world showed kindness and concern towards him. They felt sorry for this little Naruto.

At the same time, he felt strongly dissatisfied with Konoha.

[“I thought I would never have any intersection with anyone.” Having said this, Naruto paused, looked at Sasuke, and said softly: “Until I met you and Iruka-sensei.”]

Outside the sky, in the Hokage's office, Sasuke was startled. This sentence reminded him of what Naruto said before...

"Until I met you..."

Naruto at that time also said something like this, met me? Met me? Someone like me?

For some reason, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, but it was quickly hidden, but still discovered by the careful Naruko.

"Haha, Sasuke, did you laugh just now?" Naruko asked, moving closer curiously.

"No."

"You're blushing, you must be laughing!"

"I've already told you to stay away from me!"

[In the picture, Naruto was walking alone by the river and met that lonely child...]

[The two of them just glanced at each other and turned away awkwardly.]

[The scene changes again, that is the battle against Bai...]

[“Why, why do you want to protect someone like me?”]

[“Shut up, you loser… It’s my body… I can’t help it…”]

["No matter what... you have to live..."]

[“Sasuke!”]

Naruto and Sasuke looked at the scene and their expressions changed slightly, it was the battle from that day that they remembered, and the former felt a little sad at the same time.

[The scene returns to that brilliant space]

[In the picture, Naruto rubbed his head with a silly smile, showing a warm face, and said: "I also know that you are always alone. Looking at your figure, I know that there are people who are like me, and I feel at ease."]

[“I carry the Nine-Tails, and you carry the fate of the Uchiha. We carry similar things.”]

[“When I saw you that day, I actually wanted to talk to you right away. I was very happy and thought you could understand my feelings…”]

[“But... I still gave up.”]

[Here, Naruto paused again, his azure eyes dimmed, and he said: "If you want to know why, it's because I envy you for being able to do everything. I took the liberty of treating you as my opponent..."]

[Naruto suddenly raised his head, with a kind face, and smiled: "From then on, you became my target!"]

Mingzi, who was outside, witnessed this and changed slightly. Her little face looked a little unnatural. She wasn't going to say that, was she? In front of so many people?

Naruko looked at Sasuke secretly, but Sasuke ignored her and stared at the sky.

He was so familiar with what Naruto said, because... he had heard it before.
