【Ming Zuo】Walking Alone in Darkness

*I have a personal interpretation of Naruto's feelings for his children, and we only seek common ground without reserving differences

"What's the matter?" Orochimaru asked.

Jiraiya looked around, his eyes fell on the seemingly quiet room, and he said in a low voice, "Is the first Daime-sama and Madara in there?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" Sasuke felt that his expression was very strange, and the bad feeling became stronger.

Jiraiya's voice was lowered: "...the cemetery of Uchiha's old clan was invaded, and several old coffins were stolen, including... Uchiha Izuna's."

Both Naruto and Sasuke opened their eyes wide, they were so shocked by the news that they couldn't react.

"Wait, but how is it possible!? Uchiha's—" Sasuke stopped suddenly. Recently, the Uchiha people have moved into the new site, or the old site in the core area of ​​Konoha, but this is far from the original site in the village. The family cemetery on the edge is much farther away...

"Don't talk about it here." Sasuke made a decisive decision, "When did the incident happen, is there any trace of the other party, and what the witnesses said, tell me everything, and I will go after it now."

"Me too." Naruto said, red marks appeared on his eyes, and the fairy mode was turned on.

"Where are you going."

The two of Mingzuo froze, thinking that something was wrong—the worst situation was known by the worst person.

Madara stood behind them with an indifferent expression, and Hashirama was next to him, looking at him a little worried.It was very inappropriate, but Sasuke couldn't help looking at Madara's waist - where a hand from Hashirama rested on it.

Is it so natural and shameless? ?Sasuke's reincarnation eyes stared at him, he and Quanna looked so much alike, Hashirama was stunned when he saw him for the first time, and flinched back very skillfully, it was like talking to Madara every time on the battlefield It feels the same as being stared at by Quanna when saying a word.

But Sasuke, who was obviously staring at Hashirama, had no self-knowledge about the hand on his waist.

Madara felt that Hashirama's fingers trembled, looked at Sasuke following Hashirama's line of sight, and said softly: "It's very similar, even I feel very similar. And you still sold it, let this kid rely on him His face turned dark on me."

Hashirama knew nothing about Ming Zuo's past life that had nothing to do with him, and he really didn't want to take the blame, but the timing was wrong, so he had no choice but to not mention it, and said in a low voice: "I will chase them now, and I will definitely Take... back."

Madara looked into the distance, everyone knew it was the direction of Uchiha's cemetery, Madara said lightly: "If you catch it, you must catch it back, but you don't have to be so careful, Quanna is fine."

Everyone was stunned.

"Quanna is not here... I took him away long ago. I took him away when I knew that there was such a troublesome spell left in Tokaima. The one in Uchiha's tomb has always been Empty coffin," Madara said.

He couldn't accept... couldn't tolerate anything that would disturb Quanna's tranquility.In his plan, he himself can be reincarnated by the dirty soil, but no matter how much he misses Quanna...he will not use the dirty soil reincarnation method to make him "back" to himself.

Madara let himself stop thinking about it, and said, "I'll bring Quanna here, and you go chase those tomb robbers."

Sasuke nodded: "Naruto and I will go now."

The reason is still unknown, but stealing the remains of the Uchiha ancestors is unforgivable, and it must not be forgiven lightly.Sasuke glanced at Orochimaru and frowned.In his memory, everyone who knows the reincarnation of the dirty land is in front of him except Dou, but Dou and his brother are now running an orphanage, so no matter how they think about it, they don't have such leisurely thoughts... Why is that?If you just want to explore the secrets of Sharingan, why do you want to steal the remains of your ancestors with only bones left?

"Madara, I'll go with you." Hashirama said.

Madara wanted to object, but he was not in the mood to entangle with him now, and sighed: "It's up to you. That guy with soil... Tsk, he's here."

Obito and Kakashi came here together, and obviously just received the news, with a frightened expression on his face: "Old ancestor, calm down..."

"You are the one who calms down." Madara frowned, "Come with me when you come."

The four pillars Madara Obika disappeared in an instant. Sasuke asked Jiraiya about the details of the known information, and turned to look at Naruto: "Have you found it?"

"Well, I found it, it should be them." Naruto held Sasuke's hand and passed on the perception of the position to him. Sasuke opened the time-space door out of thin air with one eye, and the two jumped directly to intercept the tomb robber.

Orochimaru spread his hands: "I really don't know where the villain came from. It's so pitiful. You Konoha are so lucky. That kid is willing to live here now."

Jiraiya still complained: "Aren't you the same? At least you count Konoha's background, well, it always seems to be talking about other people's business."

"Ah la... In my opinion, it's other people's business." Orochimaru smiled, "Let's go, let's go to the scene to see. Tsunade, how about you?"

"I'll go with you too. This is a big deal, and it needs to be discussed by high-level officials...but they should have arrived by now." Tsunade sighed.

The word "high-level" used to refer to Konoha's core decision-making group centered on Hokage, including the elders, chiefs of various clans, and high-level cadres.

Now... Hokage, Uchiha, high-level cadres, and other major clans that do not include Hinata that I occasionally think of.

Not including Hinata is Naruto's doing.

That team of ninjas on the run will probably never know how they were knocked down.There was no warning, and I didn't feel the slightest breath of the enemy. I lost consciousness when I realized that I was attacked.

Three coffins were stolen.Naruto and Sasuke carefully laid down the three old coffins with the Tuanfan family emblem printed on them, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

No matter how many times you have seen it, even if you have experienced it once, as a human being, you cannot ignore death.

As an adult, Naruto has met many people.There are stunned teenagers who don’t know anything about war, yelling that peace is boring and unable to make achievements;

The so-called "accustomed to seeing life and death" is so numb, it will never be a symbol of strength, it will always only represent weakness.

Because to live, to live by yourself, to protect the one you love to live well, is the most difficult and most worthy of respect.No life should be ignored.

Some people may say that a dead person is just an object and is no longer a person—but they would still prefer to protect the dignity behind them.

Naruto and Sasuke used Sasuke's gate of time and space to transport the coffin back to the Uchiha cemetery.When they jumped out of the door, they saw Fu Yue was talking to Tsunade, and Zhi Itachi was also there.

"Brother, what did you find?"

"The damage is not too big, it should be to avoid being detected by touching the higher protection mechanism." Itachi frowned, "These are too early, although the protective barrier may be too old, but the location is in the innermost It’s strange how it got to such a deep level... How about you, have you been caught?”

"I caught them all, alive." Sasuke turned his head, just in time for Naruto to drop a few ninjas from the door, and he trapped them with illusion.Sasuke tore off the masks of several people, and Shisui next to him let out a cry.

"You know?" Itachi asked.

Shisui turned one of them over with his feet, looked at his face carefully, and frowned: "Yes, I have seen him. It should be Zagen...he is Danzo's subordinate. His name seems to be Shigara Tanuki. "

"Danzo?" Naruto and Sasuke's expressions became ugly in an instant.Both of them hate this name deeply. Danzo may have his own reasons and persistence, and he is doing what he thinks is right, but for Sasuke, he cannot be forgiven.

"...But the name Shigaraki Tanuki...?" Naruto felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while.

"Does Gen still have remnants?" Itachi's brows were furrowed again. Sasuke had done a very thorough job these years, but he didn't expect that Gen, who had fallen so far, would still have a remnant of faith.He used Shisui and himself in his previous life, but he didn't trust them at all. Although the tragedy of the Uchiha clan was inevitable in history, Danzo was the one that played the most direct role.

"It's too troublesome to ask." Sasuke said, "We will take these people to the interrogation room and let the people from the Yamanaka family cooperate. Brother, I will leave this to you, Madara and the others don't know when they will come back."

Itachi smiled at him: "Don't worry, I'll take care of this side, you go. Madara and the others will be fine too."

Naruto came over and squeezed Sasuke's hand: "You go first, I'll go back to Hokage to find information, and then I'll look for you. The name Shigaraki... I think I've heard it before."

"Okay." Sasuke couldn't say it was an accident either. The information on Saigen's previous life was systematically sorted out by Sai, so it's possible that Naruto could have an impression after scanning it.But... with his brain and memory, it is probably not very likely that he will remember it at a glance.

Sasuke and a few Uchiha tribesmen sent the tomb robber to the torture department, where Yamanaka Kaiichi and Ino were already waiting.

"Is it possible to bring my consciousness into his brain and watch?" Sasuke asked.

Hai nodded, Sasuke put on the special chakra device, and Haiyi activated the mind reading technique.

A few minutes into the memory, the culprit of the incident emerged.

Really, it's not surprising at all.

Sasuke squeezed his knuckles, looked indifferently at the man named Shigara Tanuki standing intently in front of the black barrier, and listened carefully to its description of the key points of the barrier of the Uchiha tribe.

Knowing Madara's weakness, invading Uchiha's barrier with minimal damage, and the reason for doing such a sudden thing... this time it's all clear.Really can't take it lightly for a while.

After reading these, Hai Yi also knew it was important, so he suspended the operation.Sasuke took off the device: "You continue to analyze his memory."

"it is good."

He knew that Heijue's ability to bewitch was extremely strong. Although he didn't have an entity and had almost no ninjutsu available, Madara and Obito both suffered greatly from its ability to control people's mind and body.They've obviously made the best possible defenses, but they never thought that just relying on words can play such a big role... Has this guy learned eloquence from Naruto?

Sasuke first changed all the people who were monitored in the interrogation room. The previous ninjas were temporarily placed under house arrest, and they could only be released after a thorough investigation without being bewitched.Shigara Tanuki used to be Gen's person. Although Gen's list has not been fully exposed, he will inevitably hide. Heijue's enchantment has always been on duty, so how to let him in is also a big problem.Of course, he also re-fortified the barrier once, but Hei Jue's method of initiating the technique and the scope of his ability are still unclear, and it's hard to say whether this method will be effective.Fortunately, Madara and his party had already returned at this time, and Quanna was naturally fine.The reason for Madara to bring Obito is obvious. Quanna's coffin was brought back by using the Kamui space.

"Sasuke!"

"You're here too, have you checked the information?"

Naruto nodded, but his expression was very ugly, Sasuke poked him: "What's wrong?"

Naruto sighed with embarrassment on his face, but what should be said still had to be said: "This incident... Sakura should have told you, before... before... well, there was a girl in Boruto's class before... A troublesome psychic beast, and something happened."

Sasuke remembered this incident: "Well, she said it. Why, Shigara Tanuki has something to do with this matter?—Okay, don't worry about it, you talk normally." He knew what Naruto was embarrassed to say, hold Naruto's hand squeezed his palm reassuringly.

It is because Sasuke is really good, and knowing that he really won't blame him, Naruto doesn't know how to relieve the guilt in his heart.He really didn't want to mention Boruto in front of Sasuke.

He will not have any resentment towards his children, because it is his fault and has nothing to do with them who are innocent.But...he doesn't love bloggers and sunflowers that much.At least, it is far from the love that a normal father should have for his children.

They are not his and Sasuke's children, how can he love them?

Naruto didn't even have the courage to hold this soft and delicate palm.

Guilt and self-blame made him think more than once that maybe he really didn't deserve it.The self who once married and had children is not worthy of Sasuke who has been alone for many years.This kind of pain and shame devoured him all the time. Sasuke was in such a bad state before that Naruto couldn't show his half back in front of him, but it couldn't mean that he had forgotten.

Naruto's hand was hanging down, and it was rare that he didn't shake Sasuke back.He calmed himself down and continued, "That girl is Shigara Tanuki's daughter. He sealed the psychic beast on her body in order to inherit Danzo's will and avenge Konoha."

Sasuke noticed that he was in a bad mood, so he didn't say much, he still held his hand and didn't let go: "Inherit Danzo's will, and ended up planning to blow up Konoha, even Danzo's coffin board can't hold it down. "

Naruto grinned at the corner of his mouth, and was actually amused by Sasuke. He gently shook Sasuke's hand, and smiled helplessly: "...I'm sorry."

"How many more times do you want to be sorry?" Sasuke's voice was a little gentle, "You can take it as my fault, for example, I should have been an earth-exploding star and turned Konoha into a moon at that time, and put you away from that marriage. It was stolen during the ceremony. Now let’s settle the matter of Heijue first, let’s talk slowly about yours.”

"...Okay." Naruto finally hugged Sasuke again, and kissed his lips lightly, "Yeah... Ha, I want to say it again, let's talk about it after this matter is over."

"Speaking of Earth Explosion Star." Sasuke said, "The research on Orochimaru is about the same. I was just thinking about using Earth Explosion Star to stick it on the moon to accompany his mother."

"Well," Naruto said, "it's about time."
