[Naruto] Shura's Beloved

Nara Ruri woke up, and many people were very happy, but immediately everyone found that Nara Ruri had changed. The former Ruri who loved to play and play and play pranks with Naruto disappeared.She became quiet and often liked to be alone.Sometimes he would stare at Akamaru with his teeth in a daze, and would show Naruto distressed eyes, and she would still smile at everyone, but they also found that there was something missing in Ruri's smile.

In the midst of everyone's worries, it lasted for ten days. On this day, after school, Liuli came to the stream by herself, and sat quietly, thinking about all the things she had with Zhishui in the past.Watching the flow of the stream, Liuli was immersed in her own memories.

At this time, Itachi had just completed the assignment and returned home, and the first person to greet him was of course his beloved younger brother.

"Brother, you are back!"

"Yeah." Itachi replied wearily, the task that was originally scheduled to be completed in half a month, he completed it in ten days, and only he knew the hard work in the middle.

"Brother, will you stay at home for more time after this mission?"

"Yes, I will."

"Then brother must teach me shuriken when he has time." Sasuke followed closely in his brother's footsteps.

"Sasuke, how is Xiao Li?" Itachi turned around and asked, he went to report the mission as soon as he came back, and then went home without rushing to the hospital.

"Xiao Li..." Sasuke expressed dissatisfaction with his elder brother mentioning Xiao Li as soon as he came home, his little face wrinkled into a little bun, and reluctantly said, "She's awake."

"Really?" Itachi's voice swept away the exhaustion just now, revealing a hint of joy.

"Really... It's just that everyone has changed, she is different from before."

"Changed?..." Itachi wanted to ask something more, but he stopped, because his father should be standing in front of him.Now is not the time to discuss others, what he needs to do is to report this mission to his father.

After a long conversation, Itachi hurriedly changed his clothes and wanted to go out, but Sasuke in front of him blocked his way.

"Where is brother going? Dinner is coming soon."

"I have something to go out for a while." Facing his beloved younger brother, Itachi patiently explained.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you go after dinner? I want to ask my brother what he saw and heard outside."

"Sorry Sasuke, I'll tell you when I come back." Itachi, who wanted to spare Sasuke, was grabbed by his clothes just as he was about to take a step.

"Brother, are you going to find Nara Ruri. Is that why brother cares about her?" Sasuke asked dissatisfied.In the past, when my brother came back, he would definitely look for him first, but since he got to know Nara Liuli, in his heart, his brother seemed to be inferior to her in his heart.

"Sasuke, Shisui once asked me to take care of Xiaoli, I promised, and I will do it, Xiaoli was unconscious when I left, and now I know she is awake when I come back, so I should go and see her, right? "Although Itachi said so, he knew in his heart that even without Shisui's request, he would still want to see Xiaoli.

"Really?"

"Ah."

"Okay, then brother, come back early." Sasuke obediently stepped aside, and Itachi left the mansion in a blink of an eye.

All the way to the stream in an instant, looking at Liuli leaning on the big tree and facing the stream from a distance, all the worries of the past ten days disappeared the moment he saw her.

Since when did this little person make him so interested?Is it in the hospital?After Zhishui died?Or earlier?It seems that it is not important to worry about these things now, she already exists in his heart.

Slowly came to Liuli's side, and said softly, "Xiaoli, I'm back."

Hearing the voice, Liuli looked up in surprise, "Brother Itachi."

"Is your illness all cured?" Sitting down beside her, Itachi asked worriedly, after all, she was still unconscious when he left.

"Well, it's all over." Liuli smiled sweetly at Itachi, hoping to reassure him.

"Sasuke said you've changed, it seems to be true." Seeing Liuli's smile, Itachi truly believed his brother's words, Xiaoli changed.Something was missing in her smile.What happened in the past ten days?It will make some changes in her.

"Has it changed?"

"Can you tell me what happened?" Itachi asked patiently.

"When I was in a coma, some images appeared in my mind, some were blurry and some were clear. Those images may be my previous memories." Liuli said lightly, she didn't even want to tell her family these words, but no I know why she is willing to confide when Itachi asks her.

"What kind of image?"

"There was a boy about my age. His face was blurry, but his lake-green eyes were very clear. Those eyes were full of loneliness and loneliness. When I looked at those eyes, I would feel very distressed and regretful. But I really can't see his face clearly.

The other images are a bit blurry, sometimes it is yellow sand flying all over the sky, and sometimes it is a quiet valley.Sometimes it was the voices of several children.Sometimes there are dead bodies and blood all over the place. "Liuli quietly talked about the images she saw in a coma. It was these images that made her very concerned. Who is that child? Where are the deserts and valleys? Did she stay there before? And those corpses Whose?

Too many questions hovered in her mind, and she couldn't find anyone to help her, so she could only rely on her own memory to recall slowly.

"Children, yellow sand, valleys, and corpses." Itachi summed up Liuli's words, "Children and yellow sands are not very clear. But valleys and corpses, I do know a little."

"Brother Itachi, what is it?" Liuli asked eagerly, clutching Itachi's arm.

"Then can you promise not to get excited no matter what you hear?" With the previous incident, Itachi began to become cautious.

"Okay, I'll try my best."

"I heard that Nara Shikaku and the others met you from a valley. And there is a village not far from your coma. When they went there, the village was burned beyond recognition, but the traces left from those It can be seen that all the people in that village were dead. They were burned by fire.

So there's a good chance that that village was where you lived, that your family hid you in the woods, and they died in the fire. Itachi analyzed while paying attention to Liuli's emotional changes.

"You mean, it is very likely that my village and people have been wiped out?"

"It's not that it's absolutely right, and there's also that child and Huang Sha. Maybe that child is your relative, and the valley and the dead are just for you to meet."

"Child, Huangsha." Liuli knocked her head and forced herself to think, this kind of behavior made Itachi feel distressed.He wrapped Liuli's small body into his arms, and said softly, "Xiaoli, don't force yourself like this. If your clan is really destroyed, then you can't save anything. Now you have the Nara family, and you have Classmates and friends, although Zhishui is gone, you still have me."

"Brother Itachi." Hearing Itachi's words, Liuli's tears rolled down, and she hugged Itachi's neck tightly and cried loudly.

Feeling the wetness on her shoulders, Itachi couldn't do anything, but it's not bad that she can cry so loudly now, at least it's better than being bored in her heart.Gently patted Liuli's back, slowly comforting her.

After venting, Liuli calmed down slowly, wiped away her tears, and smiled at Itachi.Seeing such a smile, Itachi knew that Xiao Li was fine.

"When did Brother Itachi return to the village?" Liuli asked, lying in Itachi's arms.

"I just came back, and I came here after I reported the mission." Itachi hugged Liuli's small body and sat on the ground against the tree.

"Is this task very hard, brother Itachi looks so tired."

"Fortunately, have you visited Zhishui?"

"Well, I went to see it. These days, I'm either staying by Brother Zhishui's tomb or staying here..." Liuli's voice became smaller and smaller, and when Itachi realized that there was no sound, Liuli was already sleeping in Itachi's arms. caught.

Feeling the quiet breathing of the person in his arms, listening to the sound of the flowing stream, and looking at the bright and bright moon, Itachi's heart became calm for no reason, and all the fatigue and irritability disappeared.

In this way, the two of them stayed by the stream for a long time, until Itachi felt it was too late before sending Liuli back home.

Since that conversation by the stream, Liuli has slowly returned to her original state, turning back to the playful and troublesome Nara Liuli.This change reassured everyone who was worried about her.

In the ninja school, Nara Ruri seems to have been infected by her elder brother Shikamaru's lazy personality, and she also sleeps when she gets the chance at school.Now she is lying on the table and sleeping soundly.

Liuli, who was eating a big meal in her dream, was suddenly interrupted and woke up, and looked up at the person coming with sleepy eyes.It was Sasuke with a poker face.

"Sasuke, what are you doing? He's eating a big meal in a dream." Liuli rubbed her eyes dissatisfied. What she hated most was when someone disturbed her while she was sleeping.Sasuke better have a good reason or don't want her to let him go.

"You foodie." Sasuke tutted softly.Sitting down beside Liuli. "Do you and my brother see each other often?"

"Well, yes, what's the matter?" The confused Liuli was still not fully awake.

"Uh... Where is the place where you two met?" Sasuke asked a little uncomfortable.He never got an answer from his brother, and he always lost track of him.In desperation, he had no choice but to ask Liuli, hoping to get an answer from her.

"You really want to know?"

Sasuke nodded seriously.

"Hey... I don't want to tell you."

"you……"

"Did you get out of Brother Itachi's mouth, so you started from me? Hmph... Let me tell you, Sasuke, this is a secret between me and Brother Itachi, I want me to tell you, there is no way, don't talk about it, There's not even a crack in the door." Liuli said in shock.It's just that her words almost made Sasuke go berserk.This little glass always has the ability to drive people crazy.

"Hmph, one day I will find it by myself." Sasuke, who refused to admit defeat, carried Liuli on the shoulder again.

"Then I'll wait and see." Liuli smiled, but her smile was very awkward.At least that's how Sasuke sees it.
