【Ming Zuo】Walking Alone in Darkness

Naruto's emotions and his tyrannical Chakra were completely out of control. Kurama yelled at him a few times, but he couldn't hear a word. The huge Chakra swept across in an instant, almost flattening the surrounding forest.

Sasuke's body was thin and almost lonely, Naruto hadn't seen him for 13 years, now he was holding him in his arms like this, he felt the strange touch in his hands that broke his heart.

He simply... didn't hug him well, at most he could only catch or support his body during the battle, and he didn't have a real hug.

Naruto stood up slowly holding Sasuke's body like this, Sasuke's head rested lightly on his shoulder, his right hand rested weakly in front of his body, and his empty left sleeve drooped down.

Naruto kissed his forehead lightly, a bloody, cold kiss.

Like the kiss that Sasuke landed on his forehead 20 years ago.

Ah, how could he not remember.

At that time... After the battle in the Valley of the End, he passed out, Sasuke knelt in front of him, and in the pouring rain, he leaned over and planted a kiss on his forehead.

How could he not remember this?

"How far is it?"

"I don't know, I can only follow his scent, he runs too fast." Ya suddenly called out, "He seems to have stopped! Let's chase after him!"

All the members were running at full speed, and Ino, who is not good at speed, was a little struggling, so Sai simply took her for a ride from time to time with super beast fake paintings.No one can stay strong, although Naruto has already rushed over, but it is because of Naruto that they have to rush like this.

In Sasuke's last scroll, the most important thing is to tell Shikamaru to be optimistic about Naruto and not to face Otsutsuki head-on.They are good at condensing chakra, and the primary purpose of coming to this world is the strongest chakra body - renzhuli.Naruto is what they want most.

The abilities of the three Datongmu were written concisely and clearly in the scroll. The handwriting was scribbled, and the ink was mixed with blood, which was shocking.

Sakura has already opened the Seal of Baihao, and her speed is starting to be faster than theirs.

The one who worries about those two people here is her.

Sasuke and Naruto, she couldn't accept any accident.

After all, Sasuke-kun is so strong, as long as he joins hands with Naruto, what enemy can't be defeated?They are the ones who sealed the goddess of Mao!Xiao Sakura comforted herself like this, but she heard a voice whose pitch had changed: "... Naruto?"

Everyone was startled, Iba's alert range was extremely wide, and there were no white-eyed users in the team, and they didn't see any trace of Naruto, only Shino also got the news from the bug, everyone slowed down, followed Iba and Akamaru jumped under the tree and ran in the direction he felt.

They soon saw Naruto.

Instead of running like a ninja, Naruto was still wearing the seventh-generation god robe, holding a man who was almost soaked in blood in his arms, and walked step by step in the direction of Konoha.

Sakura rushed over to treat her, but Kiba and Shino reached out and grabbed her at the same time.

Fang, who had always been the most disconnected, looked so pale that he almost looked like a different person, and Akamaru was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and completely fell on the ground.Ya almost said out of breath, "...don't go there."

"It's...too late." Zhi Nai whispered.

"What...?" Sakura couldn't understand, she couldn't react.

What does late mean?

What's so late, Naruto has already brought Sasuke-kun back, and I, Konoha No. [-] Doctor Shinobi, is standing here, and I'm going to treat him!

Naruto acted as if he hadn't seen them, and walked step by step with Sasuke in his arms. The orange clothes and the white royal robe were all stained red.Sasuke's head rested quietly on his shoulder, as if he had fallen asleep, half of his blood-stained but still beautiful and fair face was covered by bangs, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Sakura was stunned.

Sasuke's exposed left eye has a sunken socket.

He, could it be...

The nine partners stood there, and even subconsciously got out of the way, not daring to block Naruto, and no one dared to talk to him.

But after all, there is something to say, Shikamaru pursed his lower lip, mustered up the courage to say: "Seven..."

"Shut up," Naruto said.

Everyone froze.

Naruto didn't even look at them, just hugged Sasuke and walked back quietly.

Although Naruto and a group of jounin left in a hurry, Shikamaru also made some arrangements before leaving. Now the other jounin in the village are temporarily handling affairs, and Kakashi will hand them over to him when he comes back.

Naruto has never left the village since he became Hokage. Hinata knew that he would not come back that day, but she still couldn't help standing at the entrance of the village. Seeing that the sun was about to set, she wanted to wait a little longer before going back.

Boren didn't know what serious things happened, but he knew that it was a big mission that his father also dispatched, and it seemed to be related to that person.

"Mom, will he come back this time too?" Bo Ren asked excitedly.

"Ah..." Hinata became a little stiff when thinking of that person, and twitched the corners of her mouth, "Probably... well, don't wait here with me, Sunflower is at home alone. Your father probably won't come back today Alright, let's go home."

"Oh, well... Ah! Isn't that Dad!"

Hinata was also taken aback, she didn't expect that so soon, the mother and son ran towards the entrance of the village, only to see a person coming from afar.Bo Ren was happily running towards his father, but he stopped suddenly. He saw a person in his father's arms.

He knew this face, he had seen a picture of this person on his father's desk.There are very few photos of him, there are only three in total, and only the youngest one is a photo with his father, Aunt Sakura, and Uncle Kakashi, and the one who looks sixteen or seventeen is the other three. A group photo of people I don't know, the adult one is a single photo, it's very strange, it seems to be measuring the height, and the ruler is included in the photo.Boruto also asked Naruto. At that time, Naruto showed an expression of being greatly shocked, and Boruto thought it was very fun.

What these three photos have in common is that each one was put in the most exquisite frame by his father, without any dust at all.

Now, for the first time, Boren saw the person in the photo face to face. He was even more beautiful than in the photo, but he was lifeless, leaning against his father's arms, motionless.

"Dad..." Bo Ren had never seen his father look so cold, and he didn't dare to rush over like usual, so he yelled timidly.

"Get out of the way." Naruto said.

Hinata ran over and saw that Sasuke, who was covered in blood in Naruto's arms, also froze. He didn't say anything to call Naruto, but Naruto looked up at her, and said lightly, "We're divorced."

Then without saying a word, he just hugged Sasuke and walked in the bustling streets of the village full of hustle and bustle, and walked step by step to the most remote Uchiha tribe, as if he had never heard the screams of passers-by on the street.

Bo Ren looked at his mother who suddenly knelt on the ground and burst into tears, and looked at his father's strange and cold back, completely dumbfounded.

He saw that several jounin who set out before almost came back with his father. It seemed that Naruto was walking, and the others were running in the way of ninjas, but it seemed that they were trying to keep up with his speed.The blogger looked at the familiar uncles and aunts, at a loss: "My father..."

Sakura hugged Boruto, stroked his hair comfortingly, but tears fell down at once, from silent tears to bitter tears.

The person she loved all her life... completely left this world.

This world was too cruel and terrible to him, but she still couldn't restrain the heart-piercing pain.

Naruto carried Sasuke all the way back to the Uchiha Mansion, where Sasuke lived when he was a child. After the tragedy, it was completely sealed off. Although Naruto wanted to rebuild it many times after becoming Hokage, it was blocked. So he can only come over by himself from time to time to clean up the mansion briefly, and Sakura will come to help him.

"Sasuke, we're going home."

Naruto stood at the door of the mansion and said softly.

Naruto scrubbed Sasuke's body, his thin body and multiple wounds made his hands tremble slightly, but he still completed the work seriously, his movements were extremely gentle, as if a little heavier, this beautiful person Will raise his hand to open him, and complain to him that the one at the end of the crane is an idiot.

Naruto changed Sasuke's clean clothes, carried him to the room where he used to live, opened the barrier, and tightly protected the entire room.In fact, he wasn't quite sure whether Sasuke would like to come back here.He knew that Sasuke loved his family very much, but what this house brought to him in the end was by no means any good memories.

But... in the whole Konoha Village, only this place is barely clean, so it won't get you dirty.

Naruto bowed his head and kissed Sasuke's forehead and eyes tenderly. He took off the imperial robe, but when he saw the bright red word "Hokage", he changed his mind, put it aside, and went to find a clean blanket. cover.

It seemed that he was still afraid of the cold.

Put everything Sasuke was carrying neatly beside him, and after everything was settled, Naruto picked up the imperial robe and walked out of the Uchiha mansion.

At the entrance of the Uchiha Clan, Shikamaru and Sakura are both there, and they both seem a little worried.Naruto glanced at them calmly, and said, "Sakura, don't let anyone disturb him."

"You, go to Hokage Tower and wait for me."

He didn't even have Shikamaru's name.

Shikamaru's face turned pale, and he tried his best to answer.

Naruto didn't stay any longer, and went straight to the village.

After running for a whole day, the chakra was exhausted, but Naruto didn't seem to need a second of rest. Ku Lama opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.He went to his home first, called Hinata to go with him to complete the divorce procedures, then turned around and went to the Hokage Studio to let Shikamaru prepare for the public press conference.

It is still the kind that broadcasts to the five major countries at the same time.

This press conference was broadcast live simultaneously. All the advertisements and programs were squeezed out on the big screens in Konoha Village, and the figure of their Seventh Generation Lord was shown. Stained with dried blood, these civilians who have not known the war for a long time were shocked just by seeing it.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the content of the press conference is shocking. First of all, it directly details the truth about the extermination of the Uchiha clan many years ago: Uchiha Itachi is a high-level leader headed by Shimura Danzo, Mitomon Yan, and Zanju Koharu Threat control, coupled with the inaction of the third generation, with their secret help to kill the entire Uchiha family and bear all the charges, and the framing of Uchiha during the Kyuubi incident, the intention to establish a security department from the second generation, and The dedication of Uchiha Madara, who co-built Konoha in the first generation, ended the achievements of Uchiha Obito during the Fourth World War——

Finally, all these years, what Sasuke Uchiha has done.

How many threats he secretly ruled out for the village, how much the Hyuga family and the advisory group slandered him, how they blocked his support when he was alone in danger, all the families have overtly or covertly seized power and Sasuke's silence over the years.

Naruto's word for word was exposed coldly and clearly in front of all the people.

The darkness and cruelty of war, the cold-blooded and ruthless people around you, how much blood you paid for your daily boring noises, and how much you paid for the heroes you casually slandered.

It's something all of you should have known.

The stupid people who should be grateful to their protectors just because they live in this world have no value in supporting them.

Those who have harmed Sasuke for their own benefit, or who have never spoken out for Sasuke, do not have the benefits of hiding to avoid scolding.

The TV crew in charge of filming and hosting almost went crazy with fright, and the hands of the people holding the cameras were shaking.These truths are too terrifying, and it is even more frightening to be told by the hero of the Fourth War and the Seventh Hokage respected by the five major countries.It’s not that no one has tried to stop this press conference. Now the elder Hinata, who has two broken ribs and leg bones in the corner and is not allowed to be carried out for treatment, is a pioneer.

The contemporaries stood outside the camera with cold hands and feet.

They all knew that Naruto was completely insane.

He lost his half, his soul, the vision of his life.

Also his love.

He's crazy.

And none of this is as scary as the last thing Naruto said.In front of the camera, the last thing Naruto said was the news that the Otsutsuki clan was about to attack.This is a world-class disaster, and there is nowhere to escape. As ordinary people, if they want to live safely, they can only live quietly under the protection of powerful people. abandon.

Naruto raised the corners of his lips ironically, propped his chin with his right hand, and the blood on the bandage made people shudder even across the screen.

"After all, there are only two people who have the ability to save the world." Naruto said with a smile, "Now there is only one left. Whether you can protect you or not, whether you want to protect you or not is another matter."

The simultaneous live broadcast of the press conferences of the five major powers simply drove the whole world crazy, especially the Land of Fire and Konoha Village.The daimyo ordered the elders and the Hyuga family to be held accountable, and the people condemned them, and even gathered at the Hyuga family's mansion to demand an explanation.In addition to those who condemned the Hyuga family and the advisory group, there were also those who begged for the protection of Seven Generations. For a while, people panicked, and the bustling village was in chaos. The deeper the hatred and the louder the yelling and killing, the more they will be protected by the Seventh Generation Goal.

Ridiculous.

And these, Naruto did not pay attention.

He is now sitting in Uchiha Mansion, Sasuke's childhood room, gently stroking that face that will no longer feel warm.

None of his contemporaries dared to come to see him—or even approach him, and the only ones who dared to appear in front of him now were Sakura and Kakashi.

"... Naruto, you don't have to do this." Kakashi said.

"Mr. Kakashi, you feel that you are qualified to preach to me, you have to say something 'others dare not tell him but he needs to know', right?"

Kakashi was silent for a while, but did not speak.

Sasuke's sudden death, he is also distraught, Sasuke was his favorite student, how could he be indifferent.But compared to Naruto and Sakura, he is more rational and calm, and he also told himself that when Naruto is not calm, he must be calm.

But now he suddenly realized that Naruto was probably the calmest one.

"Actually, I don't understand you, Kakashi-sensei." Naruto gently smoothed Sasuke's hair, covered him with a blanket, twisted his body slightly, and looked at Kakashi. Is he always absent? When he was young, if you rushed over in time, you might be able to stop him. This time, if you were there at that time, at least you could delay the time until I arrived? Why are you always absent—ah, it’s revenge My dad, isn't he always there when you and Obito need it?"

Kakashi's face paled instantly.

Naruto smiled: "Ah - I really understand Obito's feeling. I know everything, understand everything, but I just can't bear it, I just want to find an excuse to blame everything on others. That time Even if you stop him once, if you can't resolve his knot, he will leave for the second time. And this time, Sasuke deliberately let himself be killed, I know all of this."

"But I still want to find a reason to blame you." Naruto raised his head and looked at the ceiling, "but I found that it didn't work at all. So I really understand Obito more and more-he was with me at that time Said, I was just too young. Yes, there is nothing wrong with it, I should have ruined this damn world with them back then, at least without losing Sasuke."

Xiao Ying outside the door listened to Naruto's words, her whole body was cold, and she didn't dare to say a word.

He is really crazy.

The most frightening thing about a madman is not his madness, but his sobriety.Naruto is now an extremely sober lunatic, if destroying the world can bring back Sasuke, she has no doubt that he will immediately destroy the world.

"But please forgive me for reading in Infinity Moon...the Sasuke there is not real." Naruto rubbed his short hair, and he smiled again. After becoming Hokage, he rarely Laughed so many times.He just thought of his youth, whether it was when he was still with Sasuke, or when he was practicing alone to go to Sasuke. At that time, he had a messy hedgehog head, and he liked to pull himself when he encountered distress. Even Sasuke disliked her hair, so she is not afraid of becoming bald in the future.

Hey, it really doesn't look good when it's so short, is it Sasuke's idea?

Obito will always be Kakashi's deepest wound. Even the most offline Kai knows not to mention Obito in front of him. Now that he is being dug out by the students in revenge, Kakashi even feels that it is difficult to breathe. Clenched his fists: "I..."

"I don't blame you." Naruto said again, "I know, it's not your fault. You just agree that he should go to 'atonement', and you are also an accomplice who made him wear a straitjacket, and you also feel that letting him go It's all about tolerance for him, and you didn't seriously negotiate with those two old things for him."

Naruto sneered: "What's the difference between what I did."

"I'm the one who really hurt Sasuke."

Naruto lowered his head and buried his face in his palms: "Ah... If I do it all over again, I'll just let him kill me at that time. Isn't Sasuke happy? What's important in the world... No, it should be Earlier, when he wanted to find Orochimaru, I should have gone with him, such an interesting thing as rebellion, why wouldn't I let it go?"

"Sasuke could have made many other choices."

"He can choose to kill me, leave me completely, destroy Konoha, forget everything...he has the ability to do so."

"He's all for me."

"This bloody place ruined his life and his whole family. He hates this place to death. But I, a super idiot, want to protect it, so he protects it too."

"He can also kill Hinata and cast illusions on me, but he wants to buy gifts for Bo Ren..."

Naruto looked up at Kakashi: "Mr. Kakashi, I really envy you. Fortunately, you took the soil away early, so you wouldn't hurt him too much. If he survived, you will be injured by you now." What is it like?"

"As Hokage, is there one who is worthy of Uchiha?"

After a long silence, Kakashi leaned against the wall with some exhaustion, pressing his left eye.

For many years, it was the eye of Obito's Sharingan.

Naruto's words hit him hard.

How could he not feel guilty, how could he not know, even if he wanted to help Sasuke, but since he failed to do anything, what is the difference between him and an accomplice.

It's just that from a "rational" point of view, he feels that he should let Naruto, who is the seventh Hokage, regain his calm and rationality, and discuss with the other four shadows who are rushing to Konoha the important matter of fighting Otsutsuki.

But Naruto let him throw away his armor and armor with just a few words.

"...I'm sorry." Kakashi said dumbly, and walked out slowly.

He didn't have the face to say anything to Naruto in an attempt to make him protect others.

It's even shameless to say that in front of Sasuke.

Kakashi left for a long time, and Naruto just stayed there quietly without making a sound.After a long time, Naruto suddenly said, "Sakura, come in."

Sakura outside the door froze for a moment, and walked in slowly: "Naruto...?"

She was a little afraid to look at Sasuke lying in it.

She had seen countless deaths, but this time... was the one she couldn't face the most.

Unable to bear it at all, she shed tears again.

Naruto watched her cry calmly, he didn't comfort her like he did before to reassure her, he just said lightly: "Come and help me pack Sasuke's things."

"But I..." Sakura wiped her tears in a panic, and Naruto shook his head: "When the three of us were together, we used to tidy up each other's ninja bags. If you touch his things, he won't mind of."

Sakura walked in slowly and sat next to Naruto.

"What do you want to say?" Naruto asked.

Sakura shook her head vigorously.

Naruto nodded, his eyes stopped at Sakura's hand without focus, and said in a low voice: "I'm actually sorry for Hinata, I'm really sorry for her, I'm also sorry for Boruto and Sunflower, and I've never been a good father or husband. "

"But from now on, even if I'm sorry to people all over the world, I don't want to be sorry to Sasuke again."

Sakura couldn't speak, leaned over to hug him comfortingly, but shed tears again.

Naruto waved his hand lightly, and moved Sasuke's belongings over.

Sasuke really has very few things, a few scrolls, a ninja bag, a little basic medicine, and a small but full bag of military food pills.

But in the inner pocket of Sasuke's shirt, there was a small notebook.Not big, but thick.Naruto had seen it before, but never opened it.Sakura went to get Sasuke's storage scroll, and Naruto opened the book.

He froze for a moment.

He'd already cried once, thinking he'd been numb to the pain.

But when he saw this notebook, he trembled all over, his tears couldn't be stopped at all, and his weeping turned into a heart-piercing wail.

Sakura looked at him in panic, and then, she also saw the book in Naruto's hand.

That notebook didn't seem to be used seriously as a notebook, it was so thick because there was a thick stack of notes inside.

It was every letter Naruto sent him.

Arrange them neatly in order, with business and private affairs included.

At the back, there are two thin paper bags folded with clean paper to look like envelopes. Inside are Naruto's height measurement photo and Boruto's photo.

He has been carrying something close to his body.
