[Hokage + Natsume] Do you believe it?

Although he knows that there are no monsters in this world, Natsume still doesn’t want to live in the human world. Naruto brings Natsume and the little fox to live on a mountain not far from the country of flowers. Some daily necessities, life may be a little monotonous, but both Naruto and Natsume enjoy this state of being undisturbed.

The first time Natsume and Naruto went down the mountain was half a year after he came to this world. Naruto said that winter is coming, and Natsume should go buy some winter clothes.

Natsume ended up buying a voluminous cloak, but Naruto declined when he offered to buy some clothes as well.

"We don't have much money, and I'm a ninja, I don't need those, even in winter we mostly wear sandals." Naruto picked out a few more clothes for the little fox and was ready to go back, the little fox was alone Although nothing will happen on the mountain, he is still not at ease.

Naruto carried everything on his back, because Natsume's body was just that of an ordinary person, and he would have to climb the mountain later, but the next moment he dropped everything on the ground.

"Blue Fox?"

"It's okay." Naruto bowed his head, picked up his things and left quickly.

Before Natsume left, he looked at the expressionless man in a thin white coat and black pants not far away, and instinctively told him that Naruto knew this person.

Neither Naruto nor Natsume mentioned what happened that day, but Naruto didn't go down the mountain blatantly throughout the winter, even if he had to go out at night and go back quickly.

When it was spring, Naruto hesitated and left the country of flowers with the little fox and Natsume.

Naruto who left would not know that the place where they lived was visited by two groups of people less than three days after he left, but it was a pity that the building was already empty by then.

The man with the black hedgehog head had a blue ribbon tied around his wrist, watching Konoha Ninja's pupils change for a moment, but quickly changed back, and then led the people away quickly.

"Natsume……"

"Natsume……"

"Guizhi..."

"Wake up, Natsume..."

Natsume sat up abruptly from the bed, his heart was pounding, he took a few deep breaths, lifted the quilt and walked out of the room.

"What's the matter, Natsume-kun, did you have a nightmare?" Naruto, who was standing in a daze at the door, turned back with a smile when he heard the movement behind him.

Natsume fell asleep for longer and longer, and Naruto thought that maybe when Natsume fell asleep completely, it was time for him to return to the original world.

"Sorry, Blue Fox, I fell asleep again, where is Little Fox?"

"I couldn't go out to play because of the bad weather, so I put him to bed."

"Hey, Blue Fox, I'm very pitiful, right? You've hit the mark, they can't tolerate me." Natsume sat down and said softly.

He hasn't told Naruto how he came to this world until now, Naruto only knows that he is probably dead, how did he die?why die?Where is Mr. Kitty?None of these Natsume said, "They can't tolerate me, Bing snatched the friend account, told me not to contact the monsters again, if I saw it, I just pretended I didn't see it, everything about the monsters has nothing to do with me, but when I return At Fujiwara’s house, Aunt Toko and Uncle Shi told me not to go back, they all told me to find monsters..."

"What happened?" Those monsters and those around Natsume really liked Natsume, so what happened after he left?Naruto absolutely did not believe that they would actually want to push Natsume away.

After Naruto and the little fox disappeared, many things happened. The Fujiwara couple finally found out about him and the monster, but they didn't say anything. Those things can still be resolved, until the people from the field caught a The vicious big monster, the monster's subordinates wanted to rescue their leader, but they were not strong enough, so they thought of devouring the little monster.

Natsume couldn't bear to ignore even the fact that the monster's blood was taken, let alone such a serious matter?It's just that those monsters who live by devouring are different after all. The matter that time was extremely difficult. Although they succeeded in destroying those monsters in the end, both the monsters and the field family suffered heavy losses, and Natsume wanted to protect the intermediate and a passing The girl lay in the hospital for more than a month.

Natsume didn't take these seriously, but the account of friends was lost on the day he was discharged from the hospital. He and Madara searched for a long time before they found out that the account of friends was taken away by C.

Madara took Natsume to find C, but he didn't know what C and Madara had said. In short, Madara didn't help him get back the friend account, and he didn't even want to go back to Fujiwara's house with him.

"Lord Natsume, go back to the human world. The account of friends will stay here. From now on, you have nothing to do with the monsters. Even if you see a monster next time, just pretend you didn't see it. Go back to the human world. You are a human. We don't exist in the same world as us." When Bing said these words, the monsters he was familiar with stood behind her, and they all looked at him silently, and even Madara didn't speak.

They must not know how sad he is. Natsume thought this was the limit, but when they returned to Fujiwara's house, Aunt Toko and Uncle Shi didn't smile for the first time.

As he said to the girl with short red hair a long time ago, humans don't like him, even they hate him.

Neither of the two worlds he likes wants him to blend in.

At that time, he suddenly felt that everything was so boring. He has always known the taste of loneliness and loneliness since he was a child, but that was the first time he felt boring.

"Natsume-kun, I think you have misunderstood. You see, we are so similar. We were once feared and disgusted by the people around us, but we are different. Natsume-kun, you and I are ultimately different. Yes." Naruto stood under the eaves and stretched out his hand, the rain kept flowing from his fingers, "You are different from me, you are much luckier than me. Those two worlds don't want you, that's because they think You will be better in another world. The monsters think that the peaceful life of human beings is suitable for you. The Fujiwara couple and your human friends think that the monsters will protect you from harm. They are sincere to you, as long as But forget your own choice, forget your feelings."

Natsume sat on the floor with her knees hugged and looked at the pattering rain outside in a daze, as if she didn't hear it.

No wonder this country is called the Land of Water. It rains half the time of the month, but it can be annoying if it rains all the time.

"Our childhood was very similar, but you compromised and remained silent, and I... and I was naughty, mischievous, and played pranks everywhere, just hoping to attract their attention, and then I thought, if I become Hokage, they will agree Me? I never give up, always..."

"Blue Fox, who was that person you met that day? Why did you run away as soon as you saw it?"

"You said him...he is a partner I agree with, but he doesn't agree with me. After he left, as time went by, fewer and fewer people believed that he would come back. Only I still believed that, so we had a fight. Another fight, I have been unwilling, chasing after him and waiting for him to turn back, but the result is...they are right, he will not come back."

"What's the result?" Natsume usually doesn't touch other people's pain. He always takes care of other people's emotions with empathy, and for some reason today there is always a knife in his words.

"Have you seen the cloth-wrapped sword I hang in the house? That sword is called Grass Pheasant. It's not mine. It's his sword. When the little fox saw me for the first time, the sword was stuck in the My heart, what do you think is the result?" Naruto tilted his head and smiled, that smile made Natsume feel very sad for no reason.

If Natsume hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten how he died.

The weather was so good that day, the sun was shining, the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming. It should be a day suitable for picnics, but most of Konoha was destroyed on such a day. He and Sasuke met again in the Valley of the End .

Again he can't do it, he always does, he always can't do it with Sasuke.

Someone had carried him back before, but not this time, even if there was, it was unnecessary.

He remembers holding Sasuke's hand to prevent him from pulling out the Kusanagi sword, and then Sasuke actually let go, and he asked him, "The one at the end of the crane, are you going to die?"

He tried hard to smile, but it was too much effort, it was really too much effort, "Ah, yes, you can come and destroy Konoha next time, next time... I won't care about it next time..."

On such a beautiful day, he only remembered the coldness of the waterfall in the Valley of the End, and... Sasuke's back that gradually faded away.

"Blue fox, do you like that person very much?"

"Sasuke."

"what?"

"His name is Sasuke, Sasuke Uchiha. He is a genius. He has been popular with girls since he was a child. He was the first girl I liked." Naruto may be tired from standing, and sat down by the door, feeling a little nostalgic Said, "I hated him when I was young because I was jealous of his popularity. After the Uchiha family was wiped out, he became more and more indifferent... We always quarreled, but..."

Yeah, we fight all the time, but I just like him and I trust him.

Because only Sasuke’s view of him has never changed, he has never been disdainful and disgusted because he is the tail of the crane, and he has never been looked up to because he has become Hokage. Although Sasuke called him the tail of the crane, it seems to be just a code, just like he likes to call it He is like an asshole to Sasuke, but in fact Sasuke is not an asshole at all.

"Natsume-kun, you will go back to that world, there are many people waiting for you there."

I envy you Natsume-kun, you finally got their sincerity.

We are different, I didn’t get Sasuke’s approval in the end, I never got it, I got Konoha’s affirmation, but Konoha was almost destroyed because I mistakenly believed that Sasuke really returned to Konoha, although I know now Konoha is recovering very well, but it doesn't mean that after the injury is healed, it can be regarded as never injured. The scar there really exists and reminds me all the time.
