[Comprehensive Hokage] A pair of wings

In the middle of the night, a torrential rain swept across the earth, thunder continued, and the wind howled through the outer corridor. Kagura was awakened by the massive rainstorm and could no longer sleep. Mixed with raindrops, it rushed into the house in an instant, carrying a few petals of wisteria.

"I always feel... the world seems to be crying", Kagura murmured, tears falling from his eyes uncontrollably.

Ever since she took charge of the library, she can feel the emotions of the world to some extent. Most of the time, she just vaguely floats in her heart. Even she herself can't tell whether it is her own occasional miscellaneous emotions or something else, but this time the emotions Extra strong.

Withered Leaf Butterfly flew to her finger, and confirmed Konoha's news of Jiraiya's death.

"Is that so..." Kagura sighed silently. The end of a generation marks the beginning of a new era. unknown road.Only those who have experienced the ups and downs that have been tasted repeatedly in countless days and nights will understand, and they will always remember it.

On a noisy night, the thin sound of Jianfeng breaking through the air suddenly reached Kagura's ears. She got wet.

Kagura wiped the rain from his face, pulled his hair back, and looked for the direction of the sound, and sure enough, he saw Sasuke swinging his sword in the rainstorm in the courtyard.

The boy's whole body was soaked in the water, and his hair, which was usually fangs and claws, was also wet by the water, and then limply stuck to his head and forehead. On the skin, there is a faint white and powerful luster.

Sasuke focused on waving the Kusanagi sword in his hand, but there was no focus in his eyes, and there was no impetuousness or killing intent in his body. At this moment, he seemed to be integrated with the sword, splitting the wind and rain, and returning to heaven and earth, integrated with the environment and independent of the world. outside of nature.In the eyes of outsiders, it is a kind of mysterious realm, but to the young man, maybe he is just unconsciously repeating what he has done tens of millions of times.

The sound of thunder rang muffled in the ears, lightning tore through the dark sky, and bursts of white light shone on the faces of the two.

The rain-soaked clothes were a little heavier than usual, and they seemed to have a sense of presence. When Kagura stepped down the corridor, the sadness in his heart still did not dissipate. It was like a bitter medicine that was too thick to dissolve. That bitterness.

She seemed to see the silent cry from Sasuke's face, which was neither sad nor happy - it was the voice of the emotions that had been suppressed in the bottom of her heart going to collapse. She watched the person she loved gradually move away from her, and she couldn't grasp it and couldn't open her mouth to keep it. .

What can he do, because the person who is going to leave, the brother who is full of righteousness but still gives everything for him, that person said that he is really happy in this life, so he dare not even give up Revealed, as if it was a blasphemy to the other party's life.

What can he do?No one can give him back a complete Uchiha, no one can give him a complete family, but he finally chose to withdraw from the hatred, even though he was covered with scars, even if he was full of reluctance, even if he was actually You can choose not to care about the so-called righteousness and peace.

For the first time, Kagura stepped forward and held down the boy's sword-holding hands. She snatched the Kusanagi sword and put it back into the scabbard. How long has the sword been swung here.

"Stop it." After she spoke, the girl realized that her voice was crying. She wiped away the bangs and water drops in front of the boy, and then gently pressed the boy's head on her shoulder. Kagura hugged him, and she Coaxed in a low voice: "Stop it, okay?"

Sasuke didn't speak, didn't even tremble a bit, but Kagura knew that he was crying, obviously his clothes were already soaked, but she just knew that he was crying.

The girl looked up at the constantly flickering thunder in the night, and the rain blurred her vision.She buried her head on the side of the boy's shoulder, "I'm sorry, I know you've been in a bad mood, but I can't do anything, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...".

……

Two weeks later, in the early morning, Otoha's house.

Itachi sat halfway on the bed, looking much more energetic than the previous few days, but both Kagura and Sasuke knew that this was a sign of returning to life before dying.

Itachi himself knew that his time was running out, so he showed his gentle smile as always, and poked Sasuke on the forehead, "I didn't expect my brother to take care of me for the last month of my life. It was truly a wonderful and happy experience.”

"...", the black-haired boy didn't answer.

Itachi shook his head helplessly, smiled and looked at Kagura, "And you too, this place is really beautiful, it reminds me of home after a long absence."

The girl also smiled, and she looked at the young man in front of her who looked very weak due to illness, "The reason why home is called a home is because there are family members, and I have not had a family member who cares about me for a long time, so for me this It is also an unforgettable time." After Kagura finished speaking, he got up and left the room, leaving time for the two brothers inside.

"...", Sasuke is still silent, his feelings for Itachi are very complicated, on the one hand is the hatred for the unforgivable enemy, and on the other hand is the admiration for the brother who is connected by blood.But Uchiha is a family of love, his love for Itachi has never disappeared, even when the hatred is the strongest, this love for his brother has always been recognized by him, so he never denied that the other party is "brother "fact.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke", Itachi finally chose to speak first, "Since you were young, I have said 'forgive me' countless times in my mouth and in my heart".

He paused, squinting his eyes slightly to look at his younger brother who still had a youthful face, and suddenly recalled the child in his memory who could act like a baby and show all his emotions on his face. At that time, they were very close , It was he who pushed the younger brother away from his side again and again, "Obviously my 'sorry' has never tried to truly reach your heart, but I have been shamelessly begging for your forgiveness."

"I won't forgive you." Sasuke stared at the young man in front of him. The elder brother, who had always been tall and untouchable, was so weak that he couldn't even use Chakra. Apart from looking at him like this and remembering his appearance, the boy I don't know what else I can do.

"Ah, I know." Itachi stretched out his hand to hold Sasuke's head, and gently pressed his forehead against his. The place where they touched had the temperature of two living people, "It doesn't matter if you don't forgive me, I know, this is The way you choose to remember".

Sasuke didn't speak, the hand on his head was slightly warm, but he couldn't feel any strength. The man in front of him had no strength, neither to push him away nor to hold him back, but the boy still Submissive without action.

"Do you know that your eyes glowed when you heard Saiba-san describe the laws and life of that world?" Itachi smiled sullenly. At that time, Sasuke looked eager to try, as if he was pestering him to learn new ninjutsu when he was a child, " I don't know exactly what you want to do, but just let it go, Sasuke."

Itachi's arm rested weakly on Sasuke's shoulder, and he couldn't continue to maintain the posture of placing his hand on the back of the opponent's head. He was already at the end of his strength.

Itachi opened the same black eyes as his younger brother, and his eyes were already blurred at this time, "No matter what you want to do, we have always loved you deeply. Me, Mom and Dad, Kagura, and Shigego are supporting you. with you, so you are never alone."

The last word "loneliness" seemed to be the last breath squeezed out of his throat. After finishing speaking, Itachi slowly closed his eyes, his arm slipped from Sasuke's shoulder, and the whole person fell forward.

Sasuke caught his brother who had stopped breathing and laid him flat on the bed. His youthful gentle and elegant appearance remained on the day when he was 21 years old. His expression was peaceful and serene before he died, and he was able to love his beloved brother when he was alive. Saying the word "love", this is probably the ending he dared not even dream of.

Sasuke gently pressed Itachi's hand to the side of his face, "Brother, sweet dream".

Outside the door, Kagura leaned against the outside of the door, looking up at the blue sky, a few crows flew by, and the bright morning light made her squint her eyes unconsciously, "Have a good dream, brother".

The girl walked into the house and said to Sasuke: "My brother told me to save his eyes for you. Masato should be on his way now."

The boy turned his back to her, gathered Itachi's hands under the quilt, and did not speak.

"The choice to use or not is up to you." Kagura stepped forward, and seeing Itachi's peaceful expression, she suddenly felt that this was fine. If Sasuke was unwilling to use it, she would find other ways to help him reduce the side effects of Kaleidoscope Sharingan. .

"I want to use it", Sasuke accepted unexpectedly quickly without the slightest hesitation.

Kagura looked at the young man with drooping eyes in surprise, the expression on his face gradually became firmer, Sasuke slowly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a flame burning deep in the hexagram, "This is the strength he left for me, The power that allows me to forge my way, and I will take his eyes to see where the world is going."

Once, hatred gave him strength, but he failed to follow the path expected by his brother; later, the gentle boy was dyed a unique color by this unreasonable world, he was still gentle, but also full of hopelessness Unrivaled sharpness; and now, he is waving his sword in the rain, silently declaring war on this era, inheriting his brother's ideals, and he will open up a road of innovation that no one has traveled.

The girl then understood that Yaren was already waiting outside the door, she turned sideways to get out of the way, "Then let's start, the eye exchange operation will be completed here."

Here is the starting point of a new story, each of them will carry the gifted strength and inherited determination to move forward.

The operation process was very long and complicated. Kagura closed the door and walked out of the room, completely isolating the noise outside, so that Masato could concentrate on completing the operation.

On the opposite side, a crow rests on the vine flower's support. The flowering period has passed, and the black crow stands out among the lush green leaves.

The crow opened its mouth, and suddenly spoke human words. It was Itachi's voice: "I put Zhishui's eyes in the eyes of this crow and left them to you. They will definitely become your strength when necessary."

After finishing speaking, the crow fluttered its wings and landed on Kagura's shoulder, gently rubbed her face, and then turned into a red and black headband to tie the girl's hair into a ponytail behind her back.

Kagura caressed the hair rope, and slowly sat down on the promenade. The girl looked tired, listening to the cicadas in the courtyard and the noise of people coming and going on the street coming from outside the wall, she leaned on the wooden pillar, closed her eyes Wait for the end of the operation.
