[Hokage] The Realm of the Sky

The room looked pleasing to the eye and walked in.

"..." Then, I fell silent.

Da Da Da rushed to the door of his room and opened the door: "Hey!! Uchiha, please explain to me! Why is that room full of dust and spider webs!! How can this kind of room sleep!"

"Ah? Which?" Uchiha, who took off his leather jacket and lay down on the bed, propped himself up lazily, and looked in the direction of my fingers, "Oh, that's my brother's room, which has been unused for many years It's over. Come here and sleep if you can't stand it."

"I said, don't you usually clean it?"

"Cleaning? Those rooms are not used. Why don't you just take care of yourself?" Does he mean that he only cleans the guest room and bedroom?No... Judging by his appearance, I'm afraid he has never cleaned it before! ?

"Ahhh, how do you usually live your life!"

"...I said Yantiao, you are very noisy. If I knew it, I would not have brought you back."

Hearing his words, I completely shut up.Anyway, this guy is my savior, and I am surprised that I am so verbose.

——Obviously I have never been a nosy person. ……Why?

Forget it, it's too late to tidy up the room now.Just spend the night in Uchiha's room.Could something happen when two big men were in the same room?

Uchiha's bed is very big, it is estimated that it is more than enough to squeeze two people, but I don't think he has the habit of giving up the bed, and he is the host and I am the guest, so I am very sensible and plan to sleep on the floor like this.

"... There should be something like a quilt in the closet." When I just lay down, Uchiha said so suddenly.

"...Why didn't you say it earlier!" I immediately sat up, opened the closet, and there was indeed a quilt inside, which seemed to be specially used to make a floor, "I said, Uchiha, where did you come from. "

"Ahhh... It seems that because I used to like to sleep in my brother's room, my mother specially prepared it." Uchiha's voice came from behind, as if he was thinking about something very distressed.

"Brother... So Uchiha, you still have an older brother?"

"Hmm..." His answering voice became weaker and weaker, and he seemed to be asleep.I lightly hugged the quilt and spread it out on the ground and lay down on it. Facing the darkness of the room, I said softly, "Good night."

……

There was a click, probably from the next room.

It's almost ten o'clock.It was only a few minutes before I threw my work-weary body onto the bed.Woke up from a light sleep, and fell asleep comfortably again.

The noise from the next room was only that one time.

The partition was opened.It is a partition that connects to the next room.A square of light enters my room without lights.

Is it mother?I half-opened my eyes and looked over there.

...I always think about it every time I come here.

It would be nice not to see this kind of scene.

It was the mother who opened the partition.In the backlight, she could only be seen standing there.For me, the tragedy in the next room was more striking than that figure.

Lying on the cheap low dining table was the figure of my father.

The low dining table, which should have been brown, was stained crimson, and the father lying on it was still bleeding bright red blood onto the mat.It looked like a broken water pipe.

"Ba, die."

The figure standing there all the time said.

Knowing that the figure was my mother, the moment when I was stabbed in the chest.

My mother stabbed me in the chest again and again with a kitchen knife, and finally sent the knife down my throat.

"...!!!"

Sitting up suddenly from the bed, there was a slight pain in the injured body.By the time I realized that this was not my room, the white bed was already empty.

"...What, did you leave so early?"

I habitually complained, but suddenly realized that as a ninja, he should have a task to do, so I understood his leaving without saying goodbye.If you stay in Uchiha's territory, you probably won't be discovered.Since he didn't mean to drive me away, I just stayed back with a stern face.

With the idea of ​​repaying him, I rolled up my sleeves and prepared to tidy up the entire Uchiha mansion today.The first place to bear the brunt is naturally Uchiha's brother's room-I don't want to keep laying the floor in Uchiha's room.

Running around in Uchiha's house, I found the necessary cleaning tools while lamenting the spaciousness of this house. In the original house, I have always played such a role. My father was addicted to alcohol and gambling. There is no regular job anymore, and my mother works while bearing the beatings and scolding from my father, but she has no skills.In the end, even when I was just walking outside, others scolded me and threw stones at me.

The antipathy from around escalates day by day, but I don't feel angry.Because what the father did was the truth.I think differential treatment or stigmatization are all natural responses.It is not this society that should be hated, but the father.

But on the other hand, I can't use my parents as a target to vent my anger on.

I, from then on, hated everything.The obstacles surrounding me are really troublesome.

No matter what you do, or how hard you work, the result will not change anyway.No matter how fast he ran, if there was such trouble as family, the future would be doomed.

Without a doubt, I gave up fighting against that era.

I suffered a lot from pursuing the kind of normal life that society takes for granted.Accepted, my life is just such a thing, and I have this concept, and I don't feel any misfortune.

Same as me when I was young.Replacing fantasy with so-called reason, I decided to live on my own strength.

Therefore, cleaning the room and cooking are already common things for Yan Tiaoba.

I opened the door of brother Uchiha's room. In fact, apart from the thick dust and cobwebs, it is a simple and tidy room on the whole. It can be seen that his brother must be a meticulous person.

A bed in the middle of the room with dusty dark blue covers, an old-fashioned wardrobe standing in the corner, and a dusty table and chairs.These are all the furniture in this room.

I opened the closet first, and the first thing I saw was the picture pasted behind the closet door.The little guy standing in the middle must be Uchiha, and the guy next to him must be his brother, who is quite handsome.But it turns out that Uchiha, the kid, would also show such an expression?

The closet is full, and all kinds of clothes and ninja tools are neatly packed. The bandages used for binding feet are all rolled up and placed side by side in a certain drawer. Uchiwa logo.I haven't seen such clothes in Uchiha's closet. That closet is full of all kinds of colorful kimonos and several red leather jackets. I never thought that a man could have so many kimonos. patterns.

I cautiously reached out and tried to touch the clothes, my hands were dusty.

Speaking of which, Uchiha's brother also... died?

Even an ordinary person has heard a little about the tragedy of Uchiha. He only knows that there is only one child of Uchiha left. As for who did it, it is a ninja's business.

Has he lived in such an environment since he was exterminated?In the most important time of a person's life, without the company of his family, no one to cook for him, no one to talk to him, just sitting here in the silent late night... Children should be afraid of the dark, right?

...No, if you think about it, the time of this day will be wasted here.I withdrew my thoughts just in time to start my task for today.

……

The sun was about to set, darkness spread in from the window, and night fell before it knew it.

I'm staying in the kitchen.At this moment, there was the sound of the entrance door being opened.

"Rouge? You're still there." It was Uchiha who came back.I dried my hands on the towel: "You little brat, don't you know how to say "I'm back" before you come in? "

"Ah? Ahh. I didn't have this habit when I was alone before. I will pay attention next time." Uchiha took off his shoes at the entrance and walked in. His eyes widened slightly when he saw the guest room , "What... Rouge, did you make this?"

The subject of his words is naturally the Uchiha house that I have cleaned up, and I said with some pride: "How is it? I didn't expect that I have such abilities. You haven't eaten dinner yet, have you? It's done."

"Oh." He nodded, took off his leather jacket and threw it on the sofa, "I didn't expect you, Rouge, to be able to cook. It seems that keeping you here is really a good choice."

"What, that tone of voice."

Uchiha called me Rouge.Therefore, I only call him Uchiha.Uchiha himself doesn't like being called by his surname, but I don't want to call him Sasuke anyway.

The reason is simple.It's just that, for me, I haven't made that kind of mental preparation yet.It is not acceptable to increase intimacy more than necessary for a person who will be separated forever at some point.

"...What is this smell?" His nose moved slightly, and that look seemed quite cute to me, "Huh? I made tomato eggs and wooden fish rice balls tonight. The note stuck on the refrigerator door , it says the food that your whole family likes to eat... You like to eat tomato and wooden fish rice balls, right? Come and try my cooking."

"Huh? Do I like to eat that kind of thing?" He frowned, but still sat down at the dining table, said "I'm starting" and put down his chopsticks on the two dishes. After taking the first bite He paused, then ate it with a speed that surprised me too.

"...It's delicious." He commented, his eyes seemed to be shining when looking at me, "Rou Tiao, I will leave the cooking to you from now on."

...Although this appearance is very cute, why does it make me feel very uncomfortable! ?

——All in all, starting today, the cohabitation life between me and the Uchiha kid officially begins.

The author has something to say: Yan Tiaoba... Anyway, he looks very similar to Emiya Shiro, so I also quoted Shiro's related characters (can cook and do housework)!The so-called grabbing a man's heart must first grab a man's stomach. You've done a good job on this.

Ba is a tragedy in the original work, and he is also a tragedy in this article.The author's writing is too useless to write such a profound philosophy of life, so the writing is like a running account... Wait, I seem to be giving up on myself...

☆, Haruno Sakura·The rain is coming

"Hey, Sakura~ Look over there, isn't that Sasuke-kun?" One morning, I came to Ino's flower shop to chat with her because I didn't have a job to do, and she was Pulling me to lie on the glass window of the flower shop and look out.

"Ah~ Sasuke-kun is still as handsome as ever~" This guy probably started fantasizing about the scene with Sasuke-kun again, I snorted coldly and said, "Don't think about that kind of thing, Ino~ No matter how you look at it, it's me You're closer to Sasuke-kun!"

"Cut~ But Sasuke-kun is really becoming more and more popular. Since the Chunin exam, as long as he goes around the street, people will always notice him~" Ino is crazy, although I am not as obvious as her, But there is still a little feeling in my heart.Chunin exam... It seems that Shikamaru is the only one who has become a Chunin this time: "That's natural, after all, Sasuke-kun shined in that exam, although he didn't get the Chunin qualification, he got the strength With the affirmation of many Junin, coupled with his handsome looks, it is unreasonable not to become Konoha's idol! But Ino, the only Chunin in this exam is in your class, I really congratulate you!"

"It was Shikamaru who became a chunin and not me, what are you doing congratulating me!" Ino curled his lips, "But I will definitely advance in the next exam, just wait and see, Sakura!"

"Ha, wait and see. Let's work hard together, Ino!"

"Oh!"

Today is still a peaceful and happy day.

……

"Good morning!...Uh, you are at home now, Yantiao."

"...I'm here to find Uchiha, Ms. Aozaki. I'm sorry he went out, do you want to wait for him?"

"Ah? No need. Anyway, I'm only here to give him something this time." Aoqi Orange waved his hand to express his refusal, and wrapped the bamboo knife bag that looked like a kendo practice bag against the wall, like After running a very long distance, he adjusted his breathing in large gulps.

Before he knew it, Yan Tiaoba had been living in the Uchiha house for about a week. During this period, he also met Aozaki Chengzi who came running over from time to time.Chengzi was surprised when he learned of his existence, but he quickly accepted him, most of which should be due to his cooking skills.

"This porridge tastes good, did you make Yantiao?" Cheng Zi picked up Wan Wan from the table and took a sip.

"That was made by Uchiha. Although he doesn't cook too much, it's amazing to make Japanese porridge. I don't know why."

"Hey, he can cook." Cheng Zi blinked in surprise.Ba also agrees with this opinion, Uchiha Sasuke does have good skills like a chef.In the past week, Riba caught a cold once and had to ask Sasuke to cook by himself, and the meal was unexpectedly delicious.

But it's not surprising, in Ba's cognition, the Uchiha family is a famous family, so he thinks it's no big deal for his heir to cook well.And Sasuke himself is a gourmet. Although he has no taboos, he will never take a bite of bad food.Accepting the fact that you can cook and cooking at a corresponding level, it is only natural that your cooking skills will improve as a result.

"But this cooking skill is a bit too good. He's not a woman who knows how to cook."

"Cough." Responding to Cheng Zi's muttering, Ba lightly coughed to indicate that there is still a man who can cook, "It's not surprising, after all, he has lived alone for so long."

"Ah, it's been a long time. I guess I don't even have a birthday present." Cheng Zi nodded in agreement, then turned his head in the other direction, "That is Sasuke's birthday present this year. Although I didn't remember it, I still The authenticity of Kanesada is uncertain. But please leave it to him.”

"Birthday gift!? Today is his birthday?"

"Ah? No. That little guy's birthday was too early, and I gave it to him. Anyway, it's not very useful to me. He is a person who is good at using knives, that kid." Cheng Zi rummaged in his pocket She was smoking a cigarette, but a thin piece fluttered to the ground following her movements.

"Miss Aoqi, something has been dropped." With sharp eyes, he spotted it and picked it up.It's a photo.

On the stone road, under the dark sky where snowflakes could fall at any time like today, three people stood side by side.

Two men, and a woman in between.

The men's heights are not low, and they fit into the scenery together with the petite women without any sense of disobedience.No... the black-haired man was too strong.The presence of the black-haired man standing with a dark expression is too strong, and he has become a relief independent of the scenery.

A black-haired man in a black kimono-like coat, and a handsome blond man in a red coat.

There is a maiden between the two.

Black, ebony-colored hair that seemed a little lighter than the coat on the brunette.The hair that extends down to the waist is not so much long hair as it is an overly beautiful accessory.She still has the innocent and quiet face of her teenage years, which can be described as Linglong in one word.Girls can also make people lose their souls through photos, and they are very gorgeous.

"What a beautiful person." Ba couldn't help but whispered, and then raised his eyes to Cheng Zi, "Well, Ms. Aozaki, this photo—"

Orange seemed to take off the glasses to wipe off the mist formed on the glasses due to the heat from the porridge, and replied while wiping: "Huh? Ahh, that's someone I knew before. The face already wants to I can’t get up anymore, I only got a little impression when I saw the photos... When I was in my hometown, I only saw this guy once.”

Orange, who took off his glasses, can be described as a cold person in one sentence.

Cold words and deeds, cold thoughts, cold theories...the human being described by these words is exactly Aozaki Takako who took off his glasses.

"Well, how many years ago did it happen? It must have been at least eight years ago. Although I am very good at remembering other people's faces, I am not good at recalling them. Since it is a useless behavior, I don't feel like sorting them out one by one. .”

"But there is only one thing I want to say. Listen to Yantiao. I will warn you in advance. No matter what happens, don't get close to the man in the photo. Of course Sasuke is the same."

After saying this, Cheng Zi jumped out of the window.

Ba stayed in the living room wondering what he was thinking, he was still holding the photo in his hand.Suddenly, as if he had realized something, he put the photo on the table and walked out.

"...Speaking of it. No matter how unpopular our family is, people who died in the family should be discovered by the police and wanted. Why... has there been no news for a week? ?”

……

Ba walked aimlessly on the street. Although he was very confused about the current situation, he didn't want to go back to that place again and recall that nightmarish scene again.

"...It was obviously hard to get rid of it."

During the week of living in the Uchiha otaku, although I did cleaning and cooking every day, and occasionally wandered around in Uchiha’s domain when I was bored, I can’t deny that this feeling is very fulfilling. completely different.Thinking this way is probably because of the existence of that boy.

Sasuke Uchiha.When I think of him, I feel satisfied, when I see him, I feel happy, and when I see him eating, I feel very cute. It feels like an older brother treating his beloved younger brother.

"It would be nice to have such a cute younger brother." Ba said to himself, walking on the street like this, suddenly saw a figure in a kimono and a leather jacket on a crosswalk far away.That was Sasuke Uchiha, and there would be no one else but him.

When Bazheng watched from afar...but found a familiar face.

One of the guys who made the night that Rinjoba and Uchiha Sasuke met.That guy looked very skilled, following behind the black-haired boy very naturally.

Knock, click, click, click.

...It seems very dangerous.

Ba frowned, blended into the crowd, and began to follow the man who was following Liangyi.

That guy seemed to follow Sasuke wherever he went.Afterwards, as a shift change, another person from that night started following Sasuke.

Those guys didn't seem to intend to do anything to Sasuke, they just followed him.Even so... Judging from what those guys did, it was undoubtedly organized.

After monitoring for an hour, Ba finally thought that he should go and see where the guy after the shift went.

The guy who just passed out from Sasuke's roundabout kick stopped following him and left.

Ba trotted and followed.That guy... walked into the alley where he and Sasuke met before.

...is a trap.

For what he didn't know.This undoubtedly represents something inauspicious.

Ba stopped at the thin line-like entrance extending into the alley, staring at the situation inside.Something has to come out of here no matter what.

Looking around, there is someone standing there.

red coat.

This tall, thin figure is probably a man.The hair is long and golden.From a distance, it can be seen that they are the type of people who are used to bossing around.

So, who is this guy.

"Einneues Gesetzl..."

The smooth pronunciation came from the ear.

When Ba suddenly looked back, there was no one there.

Turning back to look in the alley, the man in the coat also disappeared.

No, a man with blond hair in a red coat...

He had seen it before, in the photo of Cheng Zi.

……

"That, what is it?"

After dinner, Sasuke stretched out his thin white fingers, and asked Baba a question.

"Ah, that was sent by Ms. Aozaki. She said that she didn't remember it, or that it's undecided about Kanesada's authenticity."

"Kanesada, is that Kanesada engraved with nine characters!?"

With a rare light on his face, Sasuke reached out to take the package leaning against the wall, and began to untie the straps that bound the package.

Like peeling a banana.The cloth package was rolled down along the contents.What appeared in front of him after a while was a slender metal plate.No, it's more like ancient iron than metal, with a copper-like texture.Although only about one-tenth of the cloth that was wrapped around the top of the package was untied, it was clear that it was a rod-shaped thing.

The iron in the bamboo knife bag is also wrapped with pure cotton or something like that.The iron is an iron plate twice larger than the slender ruler, with two small holes in it.Chinese characters are carved on the rough surface.

"Miss Aozaki said it was a birthday present for you, what is that, Uchiha."

Sasuke looked too abnormal, so he asked.

After asking, Sasuke turned his head and smiled happily at him.

"Want to see it? This thing is not so common." Sasuke took out the contents of the bamboo knife bag, "It's a knife. But even if you show a Japanese knife without decoration, you can't understand it. It doesn't even have a handle Get ready, alas."

"Is the sword... the weapon used by the warriors of the Iron Kingdom?"

"Enn, although ninjas also have ninja swords, but this is an authentic samurai sword. There are even nine characters on it. All fighters are in the front line." Sasuke skillfully opened the wooden box and took out the sheath, handle and A collar as big as a copper coin, and assemble it.

"Oh, the tan is too small. It can't be closed because of the pickaxe. Damn... there is no way, there is only one tan."

Said dissatisfiedly, Sasuke turned the naked sword into a rather impressive Japanese sword, then put the sword on the bed casually, and turned his head to Ba.

"Okay. You have something to say."

Taking a breath, Ba told Sasuke truthfully what he saw today.

……

Today should have been a happy and fulfilling day as usual.

But the good mood was completely ruined by a bad news.

I got the news from those stern-looking Jonin that Kakashi-sensei was attacked.

As for the person who did it, I didn't know his name until a long, long time later.

That is a person who is enough to change Sasuke-kun's fate.

——Itachi Uchiha.

The author has something to say: What do Q-types usually do at home?Have you been practicing swords?

Nai: Playing the piano, flower arranging, calligraphy, swordsmanship, judo, dancing, and all other talents, and her hobby is cooking.

Brother Itachi will appear in the next chapter, are you looking forward to it?Wait until the day I return on the 21st, Kouhu...

☆, Rougeba · Returner

I told Uchiha about his being stalked.Say the guys from that night have a plan to spy on you.

However, Uchiha's answer was as succinct as ever.

"Hey, really."

So what?Wugou's eyes asked.

Me too, this time completely freed from the shackles of reason.

"It's not as simple as 'so what'. It's not just those guys watching you! Do you remember a blond man in a red coat?"

"Huh? Is that Uzumaki's father?"

"Uzumaki?" Uchiha looked at my puzzled look and explained: "Uzumaki Naruto, a guy who is on a mission with me."

"Oh." I suddenly realized, "But he is an orphan, Uchiha, don't you know. And that should be someone Ms. Aozaki knows," I showed him the photo that Ms. Orange left behind, and pointed to the blonde The man said: "That's it. Uchiha, do you know how to contact her?"

"Chengzi has always come here by herself. Although I have also been to her place called "Garan no Hall", but the distance is too far, I don't want to go after I have been there once. "...Well, it really looks like his style.

wrong!The problem is not this! "Wait a minute, Uchiha! Listen to me! This is not someone else's business. This is your own business! You should also think about how I worry about you!"

Impatient with me having a loud noise, the boy in the kimono neatly sat cross-legged and looked at me.

At this time.I thought, I was serious.

Not due to Uchiha's indifference.The reason is simpler.That is……

"Well. It's really not someone else's business but mine. So why should Yan Tiao worry about my business?"

"Of course, right?! Because, because! We lived together for a while at least!"

"That's not the reason." Uchiha interrupted me without hesitation, "I just provided you with a shelter at the beginning, and you also repaid me with the cleaning and meals you made this week. In that case , do we have any other relationship besides cohabitants?"

"...What do you mean by this?"

"I'm just describing the facts." Seemingly noticing my gloomy face, Uchiha curled his lips and said, "Okay, I understand. Just pay attention to those strange people, right? Tomorrow's wooden fish rice balls Don't forget to do it."

...that's the only way I can deal with Uchiha, without cooking him.This little guy seems to be in love with the wooden fish rice balls I made by accident. Although he is very upset if he usually uses this as a bargaining chip, he will still agree to my request.

In this way, it seems that Uchiha is still a child... and a child with super ignorance! !

"Also, Uchiha! I told you many times to close the door when you take a shower!!"

"What, what does it matter.... Rouge, aren't you a man too?"

"Don't take it too far, I think in your situation - even if the person you live with is a girl, you will open the door to take a shower carelessly!! And you don't lock the door at night when you sleep!"

"... Rouge, you are so annoying."

"Whose fault is this?!"

……

In just a few days, the viscous midsummer seems to be more and more refreshing, and the feeling of sultry heat and dizziness begins to subside slowly. Walking on the street, I still hear passers-by gossip about the weather from time to time. Autumn is near" and so on.

——That guy Rouge is really nagging more and more.

This is the thought of Uchiha Sasuke who is walking on the street at this time.If it weren't for the fact that the wooden fish rice balls he made were unexpectedly delicious, he would definitely drive that guy out of the house.

In this way, would he not be able to live without the wooden fish rice balls made of Yantiao?

would not!Uchiha Sasuke is not so fragile!

And actually threatened him with wooden fish rice balls!Rouge is really impatient! !

"Sa, Sasuke-kun?"

The pink-haired girl who was holding a bouquet of flowers looked in surprise at the boy who was stabbing the big tree by the street with a dagger.Well, to be precise, he hit him with his fist at first, and then he stabbed him with a knife before he knew it.It's just that no matter how he treats the innocent big tree, Uchiha Sasuke's behavior at this time is definitely not normal in the eyes of ordinary people.

"... Haruno?" Throwing a puzzled look at Sakura, Sasuke stopped what he was doing, "Good morning."

"Well! Good morning, Sasuke-kun! Today's weather is really good!" Sakura pulled her lips and smiled, and then a hint of worry appeared on her pretty face, "Well, Sasuke-kun, don't you want to see it?" Are you watching Kakashi-sensei?"

"Hatake? Is something wrong with him?" Sasuke had a surprised expression, as if he didn't know anything.Sakura stretched out her hand to press the pink hair on her forehead, and said in confusion, "Don't you know, Sasuke-kun? Mr. Kakashi seems to have been attacked a few days ago, and Mr. Asma and Mr. Hong..."

"Oh. Are you going to see him?"

Facing the boy's bland reaction, Sakura finally couldn't help but whispered: "Sasuke-kun, aren't you worried? Kakashi-sensei's condition...he still hasn't woken up yet!"

"Even if you go to see him, he won't wake up. If he has a sense of survival, he will force himself to wake up even if he is on the verge of death." The black-haired boy looked up at the sky, his voice was lukewarm: " In the final analysis... Hatake himself is avoiding something, so he doesn't want to wake up."

! !

After regaining consciousness, the pink-haired girl looked astonished and puzzled: "Sasuke-kun? You... But anyway, it should be normal for students to visit their teachers, right?"

"Ha..." Blinding his eyelashes, Sasuke looked at Sakura expressionlessly, "Where's Uzumaki?"

"Uh? Naruto?" It took a while to realize that Sasuke was referring to Naruto—for some reason Sasuke liked to call other people's surnames, although they were polite enough, they were indifferent and alienated.The girl took a deep breath to wipe away the inexplicable gloom in her heart, "Don't you know, Sasuke-kun? Naruto has gone out to practice!"

"Cultivation?" No wonder I haven't seen that golden figure in the past few days, but it also relieved myself a lot, "Forget it. Going to see him won't affect me too much."

"That's really great!" Xiao Sakura smiled like a flower when she heard the words, her short hair lifted by the wind was really elegant - that long hair had already been cut off in the duel between Chunin Exams and Ino, but such a girl looked like a girl. More capable, "But Sasuke-kun is going to go like this? Don't buy some flowers or something... Ahhh! You don't need to buy them specially, it's awkward for a boy to hold flowers or something..."

On the way to Konoha Hospital, Sasuke remained silent, while Sakura tried to find some topics to relieve the depressing atmosphere.

"Speaking of which, there are only a handful of people in the five major countries who can knock Kakashi-sensei down and have not woken up until now."

"...He is, why can't he wake up?"

"Ah, it is said that he was attacked by an illusion." Sakura pursed her lips and smiled, "Kakashi-sensei was so nervous by Kai-sensei, she rushed in with tears in her arms and yelled, 'Kakashi can't do it. ’ What, it’s still kind of scary to think about it now.”

"In that case, I'll go and ask him."

"Uh?"

The boy who made the sound still looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and he bent the corner of his mouth and said in a vacuous tone: "That person must have fought against the other party. If you don't know who is the person who can severely damage the copy ninja here, which one of Konoha? No one will be at ease."

"Ah... so it is."

So, that's why the black-haired boy came to the Jonin meeting room.At this moment he was standing in front of the closed door, just about to knock—

"Things are getting tricky..."

"Indeed. If the other party is him, he can't openly guard at all." The gentle female voice was mixed with worry.

"Akatsuki's goal is the tailed beast, so there shouldn't be any threat to the village. It's safe for Naruto and Jiraiya-sama to be together now."

"but……
