[Naruto] The hardest thing to do

I don't really want to go back at this time. My mother's last expression has been stuck in my mind. There are so many doubts that I feel that I am starting to have a headache.

I basically don't have such a thing as intuition. I can't find the key to connect these clues, so I can only rely on clues to deduce.I always vaguely feel that something has been overlooked by me, but every time I want to think about it, I am stumped by other things.

As a result of walking and thinking about my thoughts, I almost bumped into someone. Fortunately, I am a ninja, and I narrowed my heels and passed her dangerously.I blurted out an "sorry", but the other party also seemed absent-minded.

"Flower... Inuzuka Hana?"

The girl I admired smiled reluctantly as if she just saw me: "Uchiha-kun..."

See it.

For Uchiha Itachi, it's "Itachi-kun", and I'm just "Uchiha-kun".

So don't blame me for not liking Uchiha Itachi.

If it were normal, I would definitely start to panic seeing her in such a rare state of despair.But I'm not in the mood right now, so I scratched the back of my head and asked, "Did something happen?"

I don't quite know what expression I'm wearing now, and what tone I'm using.But Inuzuka Hana suddenly raised her head to meet my eyes, and I saw that her ears were red.

"I have something to say to Uchiha-kun."

We went to the woods in the back mountain of Konoha, where no one usually passes by, which just happened to echo my unwillingness to meet people face to face.I usually come here occasionally, as if it is a secret base that only I know, if it was not for Inuzuka Hana who proposed it this time, I would not bring it here for anyone.

The stream was slow, and Inuzuka Hana sat on the ground with her knees hugged, seemingly still sorting out her words.I picked up a stone, weighed it in my hand, threw it out, and sank into the water with a bang.

I didn't think there was anything, but the girl laughed out loud.

"I didn't expect Uchiha-kun to be so good at nothing."

"...It's nothing funny." I was slightly embarrassed by her laughter. I only watched other people play when I was very young, and this was the first time I played it myself, because the rest of the time I was...

……Eh.Speaking of training, except that I worked hard for a period of time in order to chase Zhishui, I rarely did any serious training after that.But apart from training, I didn't come out to play, so what am I doing?

The childhood memories that I thought were clear began to blur, and I couldn't remember anything for a while.

"Uchiha-kun?"

Inuzuka Hana's voice brought me back to my thoughts, I couldn't be worse for being distracted in front of the girl I like.I pursed my lips, but saw her picking and picking around, finally found a broken tile, and waved it in front of me.

"Watch it, that's how Shui Piao works."

The tiles bounced again and again on the surface of the water, and fell almost halfway across the stream before falling to the bottom.

Among other things, my learning ability is obviously inherited from the excellent genes of the Uchiha clan, but the tiles I threw out three or four times were farther than Inuzuka Hana's.We sat on the grass together, and she scratched her hair like I did. The slanting sunset cast a layer of light gold on her pretty face, and made her black eyes clearer.

"I like Itachi-kun, Uchiha-kun knows it."

I am silent.

Such a proposition cannot be answered.

"Itachi-kun will be graduating soon...so. I'm going to confess."

I couldn't help tightening my fingers, and my nails sank into the damp soil.At this moment, I suddenly found that I didn't like her as much as I thought, because at this moment, I didn't want her to succeed because of being able to see her desire, and I didn't want her to fail so that I could take advantage of it.

It's better to say that she has only one possibility of failure.

Instead, I started to diverge my thinking, thinking about how Itachi Uchiha would react, and then I found that I didn't know him well, so I couldn't guess at all.

"I'm sure I won't succeed." Inuzuka Hana's smile was a little sad, which was completely different from her usual appearance in the class.I looked at her carefully, her smooth black hair, the red inverted triangle paint marks on her cheeks, and her slowly flushing face.

"Why are you telling me?"

I changed my posture, put my hand into the slightly cool water, and began to wash my hands carefully. I didn't forget to remind her: "I asked the teacher. Even if Uchiha Itachi passed the graduation exam, he will take this year You can become a ninja only after you finish it.”

I actually knew I shouldn't have said that at this point.

But if I don't say it, some of the things I get from it may not be what I want.

Inuzuka fell silent, she looked like she was about to cry.

"What's more... we are only six years old." I still couldn't help but spit out, "Even if you become a ninja, everyone is still in Konoha after all, and it's not like we will never see each other again. Find a spare tire when you have time It’s better to study hard and work harder, and it’s possible to graduate only one year later than him.”

I stretched out my hand and said, "At that time, it won't be too late for you to tell me the rest."

Inuzuka Hana wiped her eyes fiercely with her sleeve, and without lending my hand, she stood up by herself, returning to the cheerful and energetic appearance I was familiar with.

"Hmph, I'm going to chase Itachi-kun by then, so there's no business for you!"

I withdrew my hand, put it in my pants pocket, and couldn't help smiling: "Then I'm going to be sad."
