Zuo Ershao's Road to the Sea King

Uchiha Sasuke rested in his mansion for half a day, but he didn't feel sleepy after nightfall.

Because the Uchiha mansion has been abandoned for many years, and now it is completely without water and electricity, so Uchiha Sasuke lit an oil lamp and sat by the wall, his thoughts flew away.

The dim light added a touch of nostalgia to the furniture and ornaments in the room, and the flickering candlelight was reflected in Uchiha Sasuke's pupils. He thought: Actually, they are all old things.

In fact, Uchiha Sasuke noticed it the first time he came home: Unlike other places that have been in disrepair and gradually decayed for a long time, his home is only covered with a thin layer of dust, and the weeds in the courtyard are also very sparse. Someone came and cleaned it regularly.

For this person, Uchiha Sasuke already had an answer in his heart, so it was not a surprise.

So, after midnight, when Uzumaki Naruto broke into his house alone, Uchiha Sasuke just frowned and asked him why he picked this time to come.

"Sasuke, it's really you! You're back!" Uzumaki Naruto is like a wife who has been looking forward to her husband's return home for a long time. After seeing Uchiha Sasuke, she changed from stunned to disbelief, and then to extreme excitement and joy. Mixed with a bit of grievance that he didn't even notice, all kinds of emotions intertwined and merged, and finally turned into the relief that he couldn't be himself for a long time: "I am relieved to see that you are well."

Before, Sarutobi Konoha Maru rushed back to Konoha to inform Uzumaki Naruto of the news that Uchiha Sasuke appeared in the Fire Country, but he set off immediately but failed to track down Uchiha Sasuke.Uzumaki Naruto, who returned in vain and disappointed, was emotional when passing by the old site of the Uchiha clan. Thinking that it had been more than a month since he helped clean Sasuke's house last time, he bid farewell to his teammates and came in over the wall.

After approaching the mansion of Uchiha Sasuke's family, Uzumaki Naruto discovered that there was a light in the supposedly lonely room, and the strings in his heart tightened. His body rushed in before his brain. Regardless of the danger, he wanted to find out. Let him see Uchiha Sasuke who thinks about it day and night.

The overjoyed Uzumaki Naruto soon returned to his normal state, and began to talk about people they knew well, such as Kakashi Hatake who became the Sixth Hokage. I just want to retire; Nara Shikamaru is already married to Hana Temari, the village next door; Ichiraku Ramen has launched a new devil-spicy ramen so far no one has successfully challenged it... Uzumaki Naruto said that he never gets tired of it, and Uchiha Sasuke also Listen carefully, and even echo once or twice once in a while.

"Great..." Uzumaki Naruto said happily, "It's like a dream to see you come back. I will be able to fight together again in the future. Teacher Kakashi and Sakura will be very happy knowing that of……"

Uchiha Sasuke interrupted him: "Naruto, I think you have misunderstood something. I have no intention of returning to Konoha life."

This answer made Uzumaki Naruto unacceptable, and he asked incoherently: "What? Then you come back...why don't you want to come back? Everyone misses you so much..."

Uchiha Sasuke said calmly: "Uchiha Mansion, here is my former home, it should be normal for me to come back and have a look."

Uzumaki Naruto raised his voice: "But...but Konoha was also your former home!"

"It was just once." Seeing that Uzumaki Naruto was about to say something to refute, Sasuke Uchiha said seriously: "Naruto, I want to talk to you, sit down and listen to me."

Uzumaki Naruto hesitated for a moment, then sat down, as if facing a formidable enemy, his body collapsed straight.

"Let's not mention my hatred." Uchiha Sasuke asked him: "Do you think that apart from you, Kakashi-sensei and Sakura, at most our contemporaries and some ninjas who fought with us during the Fourth World War, wood Ye, who else sincerely welcomes me back?"

Uzumaki Naruto hurriedly said: "You are the hero who saved the entire ninja world. Everyone will be grateful to you and welcome you."

Uchiha Sasuke pointedly pointed out: "Your father Namikaze Minato, the fourth Hokage, was also the hero who saved Konoha; your mother, Uzumaki Kushina, sealed Kyuubi to protect the villagers; even the infant You became Nine-Tails Jinchuriki... But how did you live when you were a child, have you forgotten?"

"I, I..." Uzumaki Naruto was speechless.

Uchiha Sasuke went on to say: "There is also Kakashi's father, Konoha Baiya, you should have heard of his incident, right? Because he gave up the mission and chose to rescue his companions, he was blamed by the villagers, and even the rescued companions turned the other way. Accused him, and finally committed suicide."

"And I, a descendant of Uchiha, a rebellious and cursed clan, killed Konoha high-ranking Shimura Danzo, and attacked the Five Kage Forum... Do you think everyone will accept my existence without any scruples like you? No, they are only afraid, they just want to escape, and they will send someone to monitor my actions, just like monitoring Orochimaru."

"Because of human nature, it is always selfish and ugly."

Uchiha Sasuke's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Naruto Uzumaki's head buzzing, and he couldn't even think of any words to refute.A series of realities are in front of him, so Naruto Uzumaki has to face up to the bright future he imagined.

He didn't want to believe it, maybe what Sasuke said was true.

The despair of being isolated, the disgusted eyes of people, those people who subconsciously wanted to stay away from him, even in retrospect, I feel sad.

If he hadn't met Sasuke, the grandfather of the third generation, Mr. Jiraiya and the others, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.

Uchiha Sasuke asked quietly: "So, do you still want me to go back to Konoha?"

"I think!" Uzumaki Naruto raised his head and said firmly, "But it may have to wait. When everyone in Konoha changes their minds and accepts you sincerely, and...you are willing to come back."

Uchiha Sasuke covered his eyes: "What is going on in your mind?"

"Mr. Kakashi is now Hokage, and he is planning to rectify some stubborn conservatives in Konoha's senior management." Uzumaki Naruto said enthusiastically: "And I am the man who will become the next generation of Hokage! I believe that after my The unremitting efforts of the two generations of Mr. Kakashi and Mr. Kakashi will definitely change everyone's thinking!"

Uchiha Sasuke sighed, "You are still naive as always, no, it is more appropriate to say that you are stupid."

"Because, this is my way of ninja! Go straight to a path that you will never regret." Uzumaki Naruto raised his right hand to Sasuke Uchiha.

Uchiha Sasuke stretched out his hand and high-fived Uzumaki Naruto: "Then, my way of ninja is to inherit Itachi's last wish and walk freely and unrestrainedly."

Naruto Uzumaki sat alone on the roof looking at the moon in a daze.

Hatake Kakashi came over and sat next to him, "Has Sasuke left yet?"

"Yeah..." Uzumaki Naruto sighed sadly, and almost fell, "Mr. Kakashi? You actually knew that Sasuke was coming?!"

"I'm also Hokage after all!" Kakashi Hatake unfolded the "Kind of Heaven" he was carrying with him, and said casually while reading: "Well, because that guy Sasuke didn't deliberately hide his breath, Parker smelled him, and I Seeing that you were communicating, you didn’t bother me. Speaking of which, that kid is really bad, and he didn’t even come to see me as a teacher when he came back. But...you are willing to let him go, which is even more unexpected to me.”

Uzumaki Naruto opened his hand, and shook hands with the distant moon: "Hmm..."

Uchiha Sasuke is the most special existence for him.

It has nothing to do with the past events of Indra and Asura.

From a very young age, Uzumaki Naruto, who was a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, whose parents died, and was ostracized and treated indifferently by the whole village, and Uchiha Sasuke, who suffered from the pain of extermination and carried blood feuds, remained indifferent and wait-and-see attitude towards everyone and everything. At the beginning of the encounter, the two equally lonely teenagers got to know each other and stayed together in getting along with each other again and again, and then parted ways after years of hard pursuit, and finally fought side by side during the Fourth Ninja World War. fetters.

Even after the Five Kages symposium, facing the avenger Uchiha Sasuke who fell into hatred, Hagi Kakashi was disappointed, and Haruno Sakura was desperate, Uzumaki Naruto's heart was not shaken at all.

Perhaps everyone will find it incredible, from the establishment of the seventh class to Uchiha Sasuke's defection, but in a few years, they can't understand Uzumaki Naruto's persistence.

In fact, Uzumaki Naruto couldn't tell what this emotion was, maybe it was an unexpected meeting of two equally lonely souls, or maybe it was tied to a stake and ordered not to eat when Sasuke was hungry. Maybe it was Sasuke's life-saving protection during the battle with Zabuzhan... Uzumaki Naruto can't remember it, but he will always remember the rice fragrance of that mouthful of rice, and he will always remember seeing Sasuke's body covered with steel nails Anger and resentment when stabbed.

Uzumaki Naruto thought of his senior brother Nagato, if one day Sasuke was killed like Yahiko, would he still be able to forgive him?The answer is no; if Sasuke dies, will he create a world with Sasuke like Obito Uchiha did?He dare not imagine...

Uzumaki Naruto buried his head in his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "Mr. Kakashi, although he doesn't want to admit it, what Sasuke said is correct."

"Hmm." Kakashi Hatake patted Naruto Uzumaki on the shoulder, "That's why people like us are needed to change! Those old-fashioned people in the high-level are really a headache."

Uzumaki Naruto turned his face: "Ms. Kakashi will also encounter headaches?"

"Because it can't be solved by simple and crude force." Hatake Kakashi said seriously: "But with the power of you new factions, I believe that one day it will change."

"Okay! Having said that, I haven't seen you for a while, Sasuke seems to have become stronger again, and I can't lag behind!"

Hatake Kakashi's forehead: Sure enough, Sasuke is the best medicine to motivate Naruto.
