【Ming Zuo】Walking Alone in Darkness

Itachi feels that his younger brother has changed a lot.

It's quite strange to say that, a six-year-old child is not considered a stereotyped personality, everything is normal.But Itachi just felt that since that day, when he heard a sound in his brother's room, he walked over and caught a brother who fell directly from the sliding door, his brother was different.

She still behaves cutely in front of him and smiles cutely at him, but... still feels different.

Sasuke doesn't cling to him anymore.

He would rather play with another child of the same age than let him send him to and from school, accompany him in practice, and guide shuriken.

Itachi was very happy at first, and he was a little relieved. What he was doing was very troublesome. As the bond between Konoha and the Uchiha clan, it would be much more convenient for him if Sasuke didn't bother him.

But then, he felt very lonely.

People are really... He obviously wanted his younger brother to play more with his peers before, but now he is playing well, but he is staring at the back eagerly, waiting to see when his younger brother will stick to him again, he even practiced shuriken. The venue has been chosen.

Unfortunately, after ten years, Sasuke never said anything similar to him again.

Is it because... I said too many "next time" before?

So much that Sasuke no longer hopes that the "next time" will really come.

Itachi's work soon became extremely easy because of Shisui's help.Danzo's side is basically tantamount to retiring. There were three generations before, and the fifth generation that came later can also withstand the occasional radical opinions of the two consultants on Uchiha.Two years ago, the Security Department was finally disbanded.Although the Uchiha tribe has not been relocated in remote places, it is no longer the most hated guard job. Uchiha ninjas have also slowly entered the various departments of the Konoha management in the past ten years. Basically, Already fully integrated.

Itachi had retired from Anbu a long time ago, and now he is just an ordinary Jonin.

Completely free.

Then I found that my younger brother has not been sticky to me for many years.

Very lonely.

Speaking of which, I haven't been back for a few months this time... I should be back soon.

His family knew about Sasuke leaving with Orochimaru.Called undercover to the high-level, and practiced to the family, Sasuke has always behaved well in front of the family, Itachi and the others did not become suspicious.On the contrary, Tsunade, who was tricked by Sasuke and reluctant to put on the gown of the fifth generation, sneered at his saying that he was an "undercover agent".

Is there any undercover who goes undercover to be offered as an ancestor?

However, Sasuke still used the excuse of returning to the mission, and went home every few months, and had to go through a process to report to Tsunade.Tsunade especially didn't want to see him, because he didn't want to hear that Ziraiya had any interaction with Orochimaru again.

She didn't expect the gift from the two of them together.Good things don't exist.

But for Itachi, the day when Sasuke returns home is always something to look forward to.And this time I received Zhishui's letter. After so many years, Zhishui will be able to come back once, and this expectation has become doubled.

But Itachi never expected that these two people would appear in front of him like this.

Shisui jumped out of the window and entered Itachi's room, Itachi was startled, and then saw the boy wrapped in Shisui's robe, his face was abnormally pale, and his eyes were closed tightly.

"Sasuke!?" Itachi didn't even care about being surprised, he quickly took his younger brother over, lowered his head and pressed his forehead to his forehead, and asked Shisui: "What's wrong with him?"

"Should... nothing serious, just a little mental stimulation." Shisui said vaguely, he himself didn't know what provoked Sasuke to be like this, he did know the reason why it happened like this, but he couldn't Talk to Itachi.

"Mental stimulation? Illusion? Have you encountered an enemy?"

"I don't know, but it's not like an illusion. I met Sasuke on the road. It was very close to Orochimaru's base over there. I planned to stop by to see him and found him nearby. I saw Sasuke's By then, he had passed out. He..."

Shisui hesitated for a moment, and looked at Itachi's face: "He was not conscious at the time, but he was calling 'brother', and he was not too far away from Konoha...so I want to bring him back to find you."

Itachi felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He was obviously sad because his younger brother was no longer attached to him, but now he knew that his 16-year-old brother would still think of him when he was weak, but his heart ached so badly.

"He should be a little bit out of breath." Zhishui said softly, "It's healed now, I checked briefly, no trauma, no hallucinations. I think...he just needs to take a good rest."

Itachi gently pushed aside Sasuke's bangs, slowly caressed his younger brother's cool cheek, and said in a low voice, "Okay, I see."

Zhishui had already changed out of the conspicuous red cloud black robe before he entered the town, and now he was wearing an ordinary cloak.He took off the cloak, tugged at the neckline, and stretched his muscles and bones.

Itachi carried Sasuke to his bedding, unzipped his collar, covered him with a quilt, and looked back at Shisui after settling down: "You haven't rested all the way, don't go back to your side, in my Rest here for a few days. Let's have dinner together later."

Zhishui smiled: "I probably won't 'can't stay' at my side, right? I wrote you a letter saying I'm coming back, and Xiao Weasel must have cleaned my room."

He teased Itachi by his childhood address, Itachi smiled helplessly, ignored him, and went out to fetch water to wipe Sasuke's body.

Shisui rubbed his nose, and felt that Sasuke's character of blowing hair when teased would give people a sense of accomplishment, but it is a pity that Itachi doesn't have this attribute at all...

That Uzumaki Naruto is very lucky.

...Wait, speaking of Naruto, does Sasuke's appearance have something to do with him?

Sasuke's connection with Shisui has never been broken over the years. Shisui knows that he is at Orochimaru, and also knows that Orochimaru and his Eagle Squad dote on him, and the place where he fell is some distance away from the base.There are still half of the soup pot and bowl left by the campfire, Sasuke is probably not there alone, so...

Shisui frowned, said hello to Itachi, and went out.

Shisui didn't wait for long, half a day after he came back, Naruto also came back.

Still a little embarrassed.

Zhishui took a look, and felt that the holes on the sleeve were bitten by snakes, and there was a not-so-obvious bruise on his left eye.

Sakura was startled when she saw Naruto like this, and was about to heal his wounds, but before she had time to ask him what happened, Naruto grabbed his wrist: "Is Sasuke back?"

Sakura was a little confused: "Sasuke-kun? No, didn't you say you would come back together? Wait, what happened to you, what happened to Sasuke-kun??"

Naruto almost collapsed and forced himself to calm down.He wanted to strangle that stinky and shameless tenant fox—

I just kept whispering in his ear, saying that Sasuke didn't see him at all, he was always looking at others through him, and that he was too far behind Sasuke, never knew Sasuke, and the relationship between the two was not equal ——

Of course, Naruto wouldn't just believe it. Every time he added another lock in anger, but if he didn't want to believe it, it didn't mean he really didn't care.He was training the use of the Nine-Tails Chakra again, and his mind was a little unstable. The quarrel with Sasuke got out of control. He pretended not to care before, and the doubts he had buried early blurted out.Naruto was afraid that he would do something if he stayed any longer, so he turned around and left first.

When he was very young, he told Shikamaru that he felt that Sasuke didn't love him enough, and he would never get angry with Sasuke.

Shikamaru said at the time that he was sick, but what Naruto wanted to express was that he felt that Sasuke was looking at someone else through him.

Later, after telling Shikamaru about this, Shikamaru didn't know how to reply.He didn't know Sasuke as well as Naruto. Although he couldn't be regarded as sensitive, Naruto's intuition was still very accurate. Shikamaru thought, since Naruto felt this way, it must have explained something.But after all, he was only an eleven or twelve-year-old child, and Shikamaru couldn't figure it out, so he could only tell Naruto not to think so much, and think about whether Sasuke treated him well.

Naruto fled the small bonfire far away at that time, and remembered what Shikamaru said at that time.

Yes, Sasuke is so kind to him, how could he not know?

When throwing his dirty socks into the washing machine with disgust, when pulling his ears to force him to eat vegetables, when showing him the Chakra form carefully.

Those beautiful black pupils are full of him.

Even if Sasuke is really looking at other people's shadows from him, the person he has really taken care of for so many years is himself.

What do you mean by saying that stupid thing? Are you accusing Sasuke of being a fake for being nice to him?Sasuke would be so sad when he heard this...

This time Naruto really got angry, he had a big fight with Kyuubi, who was gloating at other people's misfortunes, maybe the power came from anger, he actually directly summoned the huge god gate and smashed the mouth of the fox that couldn't spit out ivory, anxiously After hurriedly sorting out my mood, I went back to find Sasuke.

He didn't leave for a long time, half an hour at most, but when he returned, there was only a lonely soup pot and two bowls scattered on the ground beside the campfire, and even the leftover fish heads and fish bones he had eaten before were still piled up in the original place. land.

——Where is Sasuke! ?

Naruto completely panicked.

It never occurred to him that he would lose Sasuke.

Naruto went to Orochimaru's base and asked Sasuke if he was back.He didn't know how to turn things around, and in a few words, he exposed that they had just had a fierce fight and left Sasuke there alone, and lost him in the end, and he was beaten at that time.If Chongwu hadn't caught Xianglin, Naruto would have been scratched and disfigured by her.Orochimaru's face also turned cold, and with a roll of the snake hand, Jilai, who had only eaten half of the meal, was also thrown out, and the master and apprentice were kicked out, and an extra "Whirlpool Naruto" was hung outside the door. Dogs and Men Not Allowed" sign.

But Naruto didn't have the slightest desire to protest. He was completely panicked. He was completely bewildered. He asked himself whether he would go back to Konoha first. He turned around and headed towards Konoha at full speed Hurry up, there is no rest on the road, and it is only half a day later than Zhishui.

But Sakura told him that Sasuke never came back.

Naruto let out a trembling groan.

"What have I done..." Naruto squatted down slowly, holding his eyes tightly with his palms, his voice was almost whimpering.

"Sakura, I... lost Sasuke..."
