【Ming Zuo】Walking Alone in Darkness

Xiao Ying felt that her brain was about to explode, and it was really not human to perform five major operations in a row. She yawned and replied to Sasuke's letter in a daze, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, but she just wanted to sleep now, The letter box was tied to the eagle's feet (slipped twice), and as soon as it fell on the table, it was ready to fall asleep first.

However, the way of heaven is unkind...

"Sister Sakura-"

Sakura got up in pain: "Hey... Boruto, what do you want to do with my sister? There is nothing to do, let my sister sleep first..."

Hmm... wait...

Blogger...?

Sakura shuddered and stood up abruptly.

The five-year-old blogger was taken aback by her: "What, what's wrong..."

"It's over, it's over, I said the wrong thing... Your father must kill me." Sakura was mad, but the eagle was Sasuke-kun's psychic beast and not hers, so he couldn't chase it back... It's over, it's over, it's over !This time she couldn't fall asleep, so Sakura hurriedly grabbed a nurse and entrusted Boruto to her, and ran to Hokage Building to apologize.

"sorry!"

Naruto was a little stunned. He who had already put on the seventh-generation imperial god's robe seemed to be much more mature than before, but he also had an unspeakable lifelessness.

"I'm sorry!!" Sakura put her palms together above her head and repeated it again.

"Hey, hey... Okay, let me say, I'm too bad for Sakura to apologize for this kind of thing." Naruto smiled wryly at Sakura, who had no makeup on and had dark circles under her eyes, and threw the document away. Stepping aside, he rubbed his temples, "It's not your fault, let me tell you..."

"Really, there are a lot of operations today, so I didn't think about it..." Sakura said awkwardly.

"But why do you always tell Sasuke so many useless things..." Naruto's tone seemed to be a little complaining.

"It's useless?" Sakura couldn't help but said, "It's just that you have listened to what he said a little bit, if you don't let him know what you are busy with, you will really die of exhaustion on this page. It's behind the desk, congratulations on being the first Hokage to die in a real job? Uh... But I really didn't mean to do this..."

Naruto smiled wryly.

He really wouldn't blame Sakura, this matter...was his fault.

In fact, it’s not a big deal, Sakura was just writing a reply in a dizzy way, when Sasuke asked Naruto if he was in a bad state recently, she complained casually, she was busy like a dog, let alone eating and sleeping, he My son is sick and doesn't have time to visit.

... Just like that, Naruto spent nearly six years without knowing how to say it.

Naruto really didn't know what to say to Sasuke.

He has a... weird feeling.Obviously he married Hinata and was thinking about Sasuke in his heart, but he felt that it was a kind of derailment and betrayal in front of Sasuke.Marrying Hinata was enough to make him feel embarrassed and guilty, and he was ashamed to tell Sasuke that he had a son with someone else.

But in fact, he should have known it earlier, just like he could laugh at the news of his marriage with Hinata at that time, his reaction to the fact that he had a son was also so flat.

Not only accepted it naturally, but also seemed to be a little interested.Sasuke's next letter was much faster than before, and it was a rare one with less official business, but he didn't greet Naruto, but asked a lot about Naruto's son.What's your name, how old is it, does it look like you?

If they are really just ordinary friends, it's just the best buddy who cares about your son, Naruto should be happy and then brag about it happily, show off like a stupid dad, and talk to Sasuke to persuade him marriage or something.

But is it possible?

Looking at Sasuke's questions, Naruto felt ashamed.

He knew he was sorry for Hinata and Boruto for his thoughts, but he really...

I would rather he had no son than Boren not be his son.

Blonde hair and blue eyes, Boruto, who is exactly like him, was born with another woman.

In this letter, Naruto rarely answered Sasuke's question seriously. Instead, he was mainly talking about business, so he casually added that Boruto is five years old.

Sasuke obviously wanted to know more, and the next letter came very quickly, and he asked a lot of questions about Boruto, and even sent back a small thing for the first time, which was a gift for Boruto.

A special water polo ornament from the Land of Water, very exquisite and beautiful, suitable for children to play or placed at home.But when Naruto held this gift, his heart hurt so badly that he almost suffocated.

He knew Sasuke liked him.

He couldn't imagine how Sasuke felt when he seriously wrote down the questions about his son, and carefully tried to buy gifts for his son.

He imagined that Sasuke rarely went to a noisy town he didn't like, walked into a shop out of place, stroked the ornaments with his only right hand, and seriously considered which one was suitable for a five-year-old boy.

Naruto squeezed the glass water polo tightly, almost crying.

He still didn't reply more.He said that bloggers liked it quite a bit, so don't bother.The handling of the Water Country incident... oh yes, Yile's new ramen is also good...

It took a long time to receive the reply this time, and the previous low frequency was restored.Sasuke didn't ask Boruto any more, he just wrote a sentence of liking it, and the rest was business.

Sasuke didn't say much, and Sakura kicked his door open.

"What do you mean?" Sakura asked with a blue face.

Naruto was receiving information from the shadow clones who had just returned, and his mind was a little lost: "...what?"

Sakura gritted her teeth, and said in a low voice: "You don't want Sasuke-kun to know about you so much?"

Naruto's lips trembled: "...I dare not."

"But... Sasuke-kun, he really misses you." Sakura looked at Naruto with a sad expression, "You are like this...he will think that you hate him for paying attention to your private affairs."

Naruto was a little panicked: "I, of course I didn't mean that..."

"Even if they are ordinary friends... No, you are already ordinary friends now." Sakura said in a low voice, "Isn't it right for you to pay attention to each other and understand the current situation?"

Of course Sasuke wouldn't make it so obvious, but she could clearly see that after Sasuke knew that Naruto had a son, the few letters Sasuke sent her, from faint joy, anticipation and imagination, to the latest one, were cautious. Inquire: Does Naruto really like others talking about his private affairs?

how could it be possible……

Sakura looked at Naruto in front of her almost sadly, she felt that she couldn't remember what the Seventh Squad who fought side by side during the Fourth World War was like.

Sasuke-kun will still dislike Naruto coldly, and Naruto will yell for Sasuke to cooperate, and he will rush to the front to clear the way for them, without worrying about the dark guns coming - they will work together for themselves Get rid of.

Those two high-spirited teenagers have now turned into such a forbearing, restrained, but lifeless look.

She never thought before that one day Naruto and Sasuke became very gentle, but she would rather they still have that bad temper.

In the next letter, Naruto attached a photo of Boruto, of course a single photo.Naruto would only show Sasuke his "family portrait" when his brain was broken, and he was also ashamed to post a photo of him and Boruto.

But this time, Sasuke's letter was still the same frequency as before, and he didn't ask Boruto any more.Naruto asked Sakura, and Sakura said that Sasuke didn't ask her again.

Naturally, they didn't know that Sasuke kept that photo with great care.

Looks like Naruto.The way he smiles is also the kind of comforting silly feeling.

Sasuke gently stroked the two whiskers on the child's face in the photo with his fingertips.

This is... Naruto's son.

Sasuke smiled lightly, and a slight pain flashed across his heart.As if he didn't realize it, he carefully put away the photos and put them in the already thick and deformed book.

Of course he couldn't feel it.

After the pain becomes a habit, it becomes a habitual feeling, which cannot be regarded as pain.

He wants to remember the appearance of this child, and there will be one more person he will protect in the future.

Time always passes the fastest, whether in pain or happiness, time is the most ruthless.

Boruto has reached the age to go to school with Shikayo and Ijin, and Sunflower has also learned to lift a plate on tiptoe and hand it to her mother for a small favor.

Shikamaru and Kiba became more and more masculine, and Ino and Temari became more and more beautiful with age. At the same time, everyone accidentally mentioned Neji when they met again. Only he was still the same boy, eternally young.

And Naruto.

Whether it is Shikamaru or Sakura, sometimes they are talking to Naruto, and they will suddenly realize that among all their contemporaries, only Naruto has changed the most.

They could hardly find a trace of what he had been in him anymore.

The guy who used to yell and be considered noisy when he talked, now has a calm and dead air in his deep and soft tone.

It seems that his soul also died at that most beautiful age, on the battlefield where Class [-] teamed up to seal Kaguya.

They also know the most difficult thing for him recently.

Apart from Sasuke, what else could make him so concerned.

Shikamaru and Sakura sat next to Naruto, watching him pour wine into his mouth, Shikamaru sighed: "Drink less, the alcohol capacity is so bad, don't we still want us to take you home."

"No, just take me back to Hokage Tower." Naruto muttered, drank another bottle, shook it but didn't pour out another drop, and snatched the bottle from Shikamaru's hand casually.

Shikamaru frowned, and Sakura hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't talk to him, he's already drunk. I'll help you send him off later, you can't lift it alone like a dead pig."

"Oh, thank you very much."

Xiao Sakura can lift it alone, but it's better to avoid suspicion a little bit.

Although... Hinata won't care.

Thinking of Hinata, Sakura sighed again.She felt that Hinata was aware of something.It is true that she is not that smart, and she loves Naruto enough, but as long as she is not really stupid to the extreme, who can not feel that Naruto is abnormal?

For the Hyuga family, Naruto is actually benevolent, and there is nothing wrong with it.With the name of Hokage's son-in-law and the status of the powerful family in the village, the Hyuga family has risen all these years and has become the most powerful family that cannot be shaken. It is even stronger than when the Sarutobi family was most prosperous power.In addition to the Hyuga family, the Nara family is already considered the largest family, but the Nara family has always been in a detached position but does not have much real power. It is impossible for the Buddhist family with successive family heads to compete with each other in terms of power struggle. what opponent.Other clans, Senju, Uchiha, and Uzumaki, who were the biggest back then, could no longer be called "one clan" for a long time. Sarutobi clan also declined rapidly after the death of the three generations of father and son. family.

Today, because Boruto said that his eyes had an accident, Naruto took him to Hyuga's house to ask about the opening of his eyes, but what he really wanted to talk to Hyuga and Hyuzu was another matter.

The status of the consultant team in Konoha is still very high, and they hold real power. Even Hokage is constrained by some major decisions.But to put it bluntly, Mitomonyan and Zhuanju Xiaoharu are just two high-ranking seniors in the old era who have no strong family backing and are only highly qualified. How could it be possible to have such great power all the time?

Naturally, the real manipulator behind them is the current big family.
