【Ming Zuo】Walking Alone in Darkness

"Uzumaki Naruto-kun, is it?"

Naruto and Sakura looked over together, neither of them knew Shisui, but the blood-colored Gouyu that marked him had clearly revealed his identity.

Naruto stood up quickly, and didn't realize that he was impolite, he rushed over and grabbed his arm: "Are you from Sasuke's clan? You know, do you know where Sasuke is?"

To his surprise, Zhishui actually gave him an affirmative answer, but soon he became unhappy.

"I know." Zhishui said, "But he is very bad now. When I found him, he had lost consciousness and suffered from respiratory symptoms."

When Sakura heard this, she froze for a moment, a strange feeling floated by suddenly, but she didn't catch it at all.

Naruto didn't know what overbreathing was, he heard that Sasuke was so angry that he passed out, he regretted so much that his heart ached, he turned his head to look at Sakura helplessly.

Sakura whispered: "It's due to...some reasons, respiratory alkalosis caused by excessive breathing, may cause loss of consciousness, numb hands and feet..." She turned her head to look at Shisui again, hesitated and said: "I It's a medical ninja, and it's also Sasuke-kun's classmate, can I... can I go and see him? I can heal him."

Shisui glanced at Sakura, nodded: "Go. He is in Itachi's room, remember to jump out of the window, we haven't told Uncle and Aunt about Sasuke yet."

Sakura was a little stiff.

...Who gave you the confidence that I know which direction Itachi-san's window opens to and can accurately hide the Uchiha patriarch's writing wheel eyes from his son's window! ?

"Your words, I have something to ask you." Zhishui finally said to Naruto.

His tone was not cold, very peaceful, but those eyes were extremely oppressive, Naruto pursed his lower lip, and followed Shisui into the deserted forest.

"Tell me first, what did you do before." Shisui folded his arms, "I know Sasuke, his psychological endurance is unbelievably strong, there is no reason for him to be so angry by a brat like you. Say you all Tell me exactly what happened."

Shisui is indeed a mild-tempered person. Itachi and Sasuke have never seen him angry, but this does not mean that he is really an unconditional good-tempered person.On the one hand, Sasuke is Itachi’s younger brother, so he will definitely love him like his own younger brother. On the other hand, he also has a lot of care and protection for Sasuke himself. Seeing Sasuke’s accident, his heartache is no less than Itachi’s, and his attitude towards Naruto Of course it is impossible to come down gently.

Naruto seemed to be wilting, but he didn't refute. He honestly told Shisui what happened before, and then closed his eyes to prepare for the beating.It's okay to be beaten, as long as he lets himself go to see Sasuke.

But he was not beaten.Naruto opened his eyes again, and found that Shisui was looking in another direction, with an uncertain expression on his face.

Shisui has always felt that Sasuke has done too much.Since his body was only a child's physique, such a burden was too great.But he really couldn't help much, he was able to go to Akatsuki as an undercover agent, which was already giving Sasuke a lot of trouble, and Konoha's affairs could only be relied on Sasuke.

Just staring at the movements of Gen, Konoha and Uchiha, Sasuke spends most of his time playing house with children.Shisui said Sasuke a long time ago that he spent too much time on Naruto, and he could only compress his reasonable rest time when doing business, which was too much of a burden on his body.

At that time, Sasuke wrinkled his little bun's face and said that if he didn't accompany him during the day, the person at the end of the crane would think too much.

This is true, after all, he was an orphan since he was a child, and he finally had a playmate, so his mind would be very delicate...

But what does it matter to us?Are the troubles of the Uchiha clan small? ?

Shisui has long suspected the relationship between Naruto and Sasuke in his previous life, and Sasuke was definitely vague.He felt that Sasuke must like Naruto.Since Sasuke likes Naruto, his proud personality cannot be unrequited love. In his previous life, he and Naruto should have had a mutual affection.

But after listening to Naruto's account of their quarrel, Shisui's face was almost clouded, the kind that couldn't be stopped.

It's really... unrequited love.

It's a pity that the Uchiha clan has never been good at swearing, otherwise he would have to add a sentence to replace the ellipsis.

Of course Naruto didn't understand, but when Shisui heard it, he almost immediately connected the past and present.Sasuke liked Naruto for two lifetimes, but Naruto in the previous life didn't respond at all - he even married the girl named Hinata very likely.

Zhishui now looks at Naruto, and also wants to kick him in the previous life through him.

Naruto stared at Shisui's pair of three-god jade that wanted to stab him with a thousand arrows, shrank his neck from the opponent's murderous aura, and asked cautiously: "I...can I go and see Sasuke? explain?"

Zhishui almost said that he would have the face to come to see him after marrying someone else, but he held back.He understood why Sasuke was depressed like this, and finally collapsed to the point where he couldn't breathe.He has been suppressing his feelings, being so close to Naruto, so close that he takes care of every aspect of his life, but he dare not have any fantasies, but at this time Naruto directly said "like", "want to get married" "This kind of words, while tearing away Sasuke's self-deceiving wall, also pulled out the pain of his previous life that he tried hard to cover up, and spread it bloody in front of him.

In the letter that Itachi wrote to him, he complained that Sasuke was not sticking to himself at all.Shisui asked a few more questions, and found that after Sasuke was reborn, he hadn't asked Itachi once in the past ten years.Not once, not even asking Itachi to pass the soy sauce bottle on the dinner table.

Sasuke's feelings are strong and warm inherited from the depths of Uchiha's blood, but he has tasted all the pain that people can taste.I used to have a serious father, a gentle mother, and a considerate brother, and then lost all my family members overnight. I was completely caught off guard, and I could only focus all my hatred on the brother I loved the most. For an eight-year-old child Shisui couldn't imagine how painful it was, and he knew that even Itachi couldn't understand this kind of pain.

Afterwards, he had partners, best friends, and fetters—but he had to cut them all out of hatred.

Later, his hatred collapsed, and fate told him mockingly that the end of his hatred was nothing but a cruel deception, the biggest joke.

From then on, all he had left was to hate being able to support him.

But he was stopped.The person who stopped him entangled him for the entire first half of his life, and tried everything to bring him back.Finally he compromised and went back with him——after going back, the man told him, I'm getting married.

Then there is only despair and homelessness in the second half of my life.

Sasuke has nothing.

Zhishui raised his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows.

That's why this child gave wholeheartedly, but didn't ask for anything in return.

He wants to protect Itachi, his tribe, Naruto, and even what they want to protect, but he no longer expects Itachi's company, Naruto's sincerity.

How else could he hope?

He couldn't bear to lose anything more.

Now that the clansmen are all here, Naruto is also laughing heartlessly. For Sasuke, I am afraid that death has no regrets.

This kid...

Shisui glanced at Naruto, the young man still looked a little ignorant, trying to suppress the eagerness in his eyes, obviously still wanted to rush over to see Sasuke right now.

...It is obvious that the two of them should like each other very much.

Zhishui didn't want to care about what happened in the previous life.How old was Naruto when he died, and he, who has long passed away, is not qualified to talk about the living.Shisui shook his head and looked straight at Naruto: "Do you know how the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan appeared?"

Naruto was startled, and suddenly clutched the clothes on his chest tightly, and replied in a shy voice, "...I know."

Shisui did not expect that Sasuke had already told him, so he glanced at him in surprise: "Then you should know that the Uchiha clan is more intense and persistent in their feelings than others, and the pain of loss may be temporary to others. sad, but fatal to Uchiha."

"……Yes, I know."

"You may feel aggrieved, feeling that Sasuke doesn't care about you..." Shisui looked in the direction of the Uchiha clan from a distance, "but he is just too afraid of losing. If you feel that he is not close enough to you, too Indifference, that is his self-preservation, if he did not deliberately suppress his own feelings, he would have collapsed a long time ago. The child has experienced far more pain than you can imagine, if it is not guaranteed, he will stay by his side forever , then it’s still too late to leave now. If you want to stay with him forever...don’t betray him. Also, please understand his subconscious behavior of wanting to protect himself, and don’t choose to force him by hurting him.”

"If you made the second choice but didn't accompany him to the end, I don't know what others think, but at least I—" Shisui looked straight at Naruto, his blood-colored eyes turned into pinwheel-shaped Kaleidoscope, "I will never let you go."

Naruto didn't back down at all, looked straight into Shisui's eyes, and said forcefully: "I will not betray Sasuke, absolutely, definitely not! I swear."

"...Young little Itachi didn't misunderstand the person." Zhishui said softly, put away the kaleidoscope, "Come with me, don't forget what you promised me."

"That,—" Naruto wanted to say something, but got stuck.Zhishui paused, a little funny for a moment, he actually forgot to introduce himself - the kid didn't even ask.

"Shisui." Shisui said, "Uchiha Shisui."

"Well, Shisui-san," Naruto scratched his head and summoned up the courage to ask, "Sasuke...doesn't he have Sharingan?"

Shisui was stunned for a moment, of course he knew that Sasuke had opened it long ago, but Sasuke had indeed kept it a secret until now, and never showed it to the outside world, so he nodded.

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, and the fingers that were clutching his chest relaxed a little.He whispered: "I... promised him, I will protect Sasuke well, and won't let him open his eyes."

Shisui shook his head, but he didn't pour cold water on him, and took the lead to walk in the direction of the Uchiha clan.

How can you protect him, protect him from rolling his eyes?

============TBC=========

Shisui and Sasuke are in sync (.)

As expected of clan brothers
