Naruto You

He woke up again in a bloody chaotic dream.

Naruto sat up, Sasuke had already left, there was a trace of coolness in the air, he stroked his beating heart, his cold fingertips touched the exposed skin on his chest, stabbing like needles.

He gradually realized that those bloody nightmares stemmed from the deepest uneasiness in his heart...

Maybe he and I were suspicious long before I knew it, and it's only because of you that I'm pampering an idiot who doesn't know anything.

Naruto bent down, scratched his head vigorously, a little irritable, and didn't want to think about the reason for his unintentional connivance.

The hands that abused the scalp inadvertently grabbed a lot of Jincan vigorously, and he realized that his body was different. He grinned and rubbed the painful scalp, looked at his hands, and tried to Make a fist.

The feeling of limpness and weakness that had been there for many days has disappeared.

He got up and tried to gather chakra, and then confirmed that the drug on his body had indeed lost its effect, presumably it would automatically expire after a long time.

Naruto got up and put on his clothes, and ran into Sakura who came to check.

"Ah, Sakura, I'm done!"

Naruto waved his fist as he spoke, but Sakura frowned, stepped forward to check Naruto's situation, and after repeated confirmations several times, he looked at Naruto's puzzled opening, "The effect of the medicine has really disappeared, it's strange, obviously it was checked yesterday I think it will take a few more days."

"Ah? Is that so? It's because I'm in good shape!"

Sakura couldn't think of the reason, so she could only nod her head uncertainly, but accidentally saw the red mark on Naruto's neck, "What is this?"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to touch the red mark, Naruto was stunned for a moment before realizing what Sakura had seen, and hurriedly zipped up the neckline, "Ah, it's nothing, nothing!"

Then, leaving Sakura in astonishment before she blushed, she turned around and fled from the window in embarrassment.

Naruto leaned against the wall, raised his hands to cover his flushed face, those things were secrets that he couldn't let Sakura know no matter what.

Careless, he has always carefully maintained the relationship between the three of them. When he grew up and found that his liking for Sakura should not be defined as love, he was fortunate that he did not love Sakura who liked Sasuke so much. .

The relationship between the three of them can be simple and best, no one will be hurt if there is no overlapping love.

He hoped that the good memories in those memories could last without any embarrassment of misplacement.

Even if you accidentally make two mistakes, you can keep it in your heart and never mention it for the rest of your life.

Then the girl he liked the most when he was young will marry his best friend, and he will have his own family. Even though he felt a kind of loneliness inexplicably when he made this decision, he also knew that it was the best thing they should go on. The way of life, passed on to each other like the fathers, and maintain the fetters of a lifetime, the friendship of a lifetime...

The friendship of a lifetime.

Naruto frowned slightly when thinking this way, is that bastard now an enemy or a friend?

Why do you wish to persist in this war?

Scratching his head, Naruto clenched his fists, deciding that it would be better to do something quickly, since his strength has returned, he is no longer limp, if he panics because he doesn't understand, then do something!

Think about it and execute it.

Naruto hurried to the Hokage Tower without further pause. He called Sai, and sent back a few Anbu guards who were close to him. He wanted to rearrange Anbu and add some fresh blood. Before confirming what Sasuke planned to do, he first Prevent him from every opportunity to do wrong.

After discussing with each other, the two decided that Naruto would first implement Sai's functions in Anbe as Hokage, and then suspend all of Sasuke's external activities before the conflict between the water and fire ended. Have a good exchange, if possible, arrange work for Sasuke outside of Anbe.

The dark part of Anbu may be too similar to Sasuke's character, but it is not suitable for Sasuke...

The bloody brutality that he heard frightened him. He hoped that Sasuke would return to Konoha's original intention. He hoped that he would be more like an ordinary person, live warmer and brighter...

Naruto, who planned these things, received an unexpected message before he could implement it.

A homing pigeon that fluttered and landed in front of the Hokage window brought news that shocked him——

Mizukage is in trouble!Come to the country of water!West Pole Border Island!

It was Grandma Tsunade's handwriting, and Naruto recognized it at a glance.

Therefore, Naruto, who originally planned to convene a meeting to actually reorganize Anbu, only had time to leave Sai with a temporary letter of appointment before rushing to the country of water.

Sai, who was left behind, gathered high-level personnel early in the morning of the second day and held a meeting. He originally planned to issue an order to cancel all of Sasuke's external activities according to Naruto's intention, and took out the order Naruto gave when he left. He who had the letter of appointment was shocked to find that the letter of appointment in his hand was blank.

He has been carefully keeping the letter of appointment close to him, and it has been replaced at some point...

The door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside.

Looking at the figure who came in, Sai slowly raised his hand to take off the raccoon mask with white background and red stripes on his face, and a pair of lacquered abyss eyes on his delicate face.

Sasuke Uchiha.

Is it you...

He looked at Sai, raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a half-smile expression, met Sai's smirk froze on his lips, and spoke, his cold voice revealed the news that Sai had not had time to speak in the future.

"The seventh generation went to the country of water yesterday."

Naruto left in a hurry, and he didn't inform anyone about the matter. It should have been news that hadn't been known yet, but he said it as if he already knew everything.

"Our Hokage will personally confirm the truth to Mizukage."

wrong!

Naruto left because Mizukage was in trouble!

Sai was convinced that Sasuke had known the truth through some means, but he said that Naruto went to the country of water to confirm the truth——Sai wanted to refute the truth, but suddenly found that he had lost all the ability to move, he stood stiffly Where, apart from breathing, I can't even make a sound.

Naruto-kun, all these coincidences are like a conspiracy—you who suddenly got rid of the medicine, the carrier pigeon who brought the news, your departure, Sasuke Uchiha who knew the truth, and me who was left behind but could do nothing...

Naruto-kun, this is all a conspiracy.

At that moment, Sai really saw a kind of fetter running counter to it.

He seemed to still remember the determination of the young man who touched him first, squinting his eyes and smiling.

So, will the fetters you insist on eventually become the existence that hurts you the most.

Naruto.

I will want to protect you.Because of you, I came back to this world, alive.

Sai looked at Sasuke who was standing opposite, and didn't understand why such a person surrounded by sunlight, went all the way to the darkness and was so stubborn that he would never turn back.

He watched the meeting initiated by himself go in the opposite direction under the trigger of Sasuke. Those high-level Konoha, those who opposed or supported Naruto, were all under Sasuke's strength and ignored him who could not move. thorough.

The two factions of the main station and those who did not fight finally became unbalanced without the host of Hokage. In this meeting after Naruto left, war almost became an expected existence. The main station factions were led by Sasuke. , I am almost convinced that Naruto will bring back the decision to go to war after confirming the facts.

"You know the truth about his departure, but imply that everyone believes he will bring back the decision to go to war."

After the meeting ended, Sai finally regained the initiative of his body. He slowly retreated to the window and said to the only other person left in the meeting room after the meeting was over, "You let people prepare for the battle according to your expectations. , but you know it's not true, how dare you?"

"Because." Sasuke allowed Sai to retreat, approaching step by step without haste, "I will make me, my Hokage-sama, disappear in the land of water."

"So this war is inevitable."

Sai's heart turned cold for a moment, missing?

He stared at Sasuke almost in disbelief, what are you going to do to him?

He turned around and jumped out of the window in a hurry, hoping to escape, hoping to catch up with Naruto who was about to fall and didn't know about the conspiracy!

The footsteps of the people behind him were neither fast nor slow, as if they had allowed him to escape and had already controlled everything, like a game of cat and mouse...

After being unable to escape for a long time, Sai really hated Sasuke in extreme anxiety, "He said you were his best friend, is that how you treat him? Sasuke Uchiha!"

"I don't care to be his friend."

He approached him, sword in hand.

"I don't care that he classifies me and you as the same existence."

He raised his long sword and pierced through it.

"I don't want to see such a you living in front of me, let me remember the existence that he wants you to take over from me again and again."

Blood splashed on his pale face, and there was a raw chill under the faint moonlight.

"I'm different, you can't replace me."

He put his sword back into its sheath, and gently pushed Sai back.

Sai, who fell backwards while being seriously injured, saw the fierceness flashing across Sasuke's face at that moment, and suddenly understood something.

"Uchiha Sasuke..." He said softly cursing when he fell off the cliff, "How do you face him..."

Naruto, maybe the bond you insist on has lost its shape in the process of persistence, but you who are equally paranoid to a certain extent can't understand where the real turning point is, and what is the ending of your collision and struggle, me...

I really want to see it again, the bond you told me...

pity……

me……

rain.

It's raining.

Naruto raised his head to look at the sky, his azure blue eyes met the gray sky, and the rain slid down the corners of his eyes like tears.

The world is foggy and pale.

He has come to the westernmost island of the country of water.Two years ago, he also chased grandma Qianxuan who was robbed to the beach of this small island, and met a man in black who made him unable to fight back.

Now here again.

The sage imprint at the corner of his eye receded after a long run, Naruto sat down on the soft sand on the beach, adjusted his sage mode, and carefully sensed where Grandma Tsunade was——

But can not perceive.

Naruto, who didn't know where to find someone, came to the seemingly bustling street on this island, but there were not many people coming and going on the street, and they all had a feeling of depression.

The air in the country of water is always filled with light fog, and the expressions of those people have become unclear like the fog, as if they were suppressed by some unknown force into the same chaos.

They looked around like rats coming out of their holes, and they spoke softly and cautiously to each other.

Naruto faintly sensed that things were unusual.

This place has secrets that he doesn't know. Naruto looked at the strange things he saw along the way, and if he contacted Grandma Tsunade's letter, it is almost certain that something important happened in the country of water in a time that everyone didn't know.

He wanted to find Grandma Tsunade right away, hoping to get a definite answer from her. He quickly shuttled back and forth among the crowd, searching aimlessly and anxiously.

Naruto was finally pulled into a dark alley by someone.

He glanced at the man pulling him wearing a black cloak with a hood, and immediately remembered the man in black two years ago. He gathered Chakra and planned to fight back, and suddenly met the one under the big black hood. familiar face.

"Gang--"

Tsunade covered his mouth and nose with one hand at the moment he spoke, then pulled out the same black cloak from his backpack to cover him, "Shh! Someone is watching here!"

As she spoke, she covered Naruto's hood, looked around for a while, then pulled Naruto and hurried into the deep alley, turned around many forks, and finally stopped in front of an extremely remote dilapidated house. The partial partition wall of the dilapidated house entered a secret deep tunnel.

"Grandma Tsunade! What happened?"

Naruto anxiously hoped to get an answer, and ran forward behind Tsunade while asking questions, and Tsunade, who had always looked solemn and silent, finally opened his mouth after entering the tunnel.

"Naruto, when Kakashi was kidnapped two years ago, you caught up with the kidnapper, right?"

Naruto nodded, "Catch up."

"Are those people wearing this black cloak?"

"Well, it's this kind." Naruto looked at the cloak on his body, he remembered correctly, the man in black also wore the same cloak.

"You just turned on the fairy mode and you can't feel my breath."

"...Is it because of this kind of cloak?" He guessed, because even now that Grandma Tsunade was in front of him, he couldn't feel the breath that belonged to Grandma Tsunade, but a strange feeling.

"Yes, the fabric of this black cloak has the function of interfering with breath and chakra, and the breath of the person wearing it will become very unstable and cannot be easily located." Tsunade explained, and then said Another message, "This cloak is almost an emblem of an organization."

"An organization?"

"Well, this organization doesn't have an exact name, and those who know it are used to calling it the 'Dark Temple'."

"It probably started four years ago, but it has infiltrated the five major countries in just a few years."

Tsunade stopped while speaking, and the two of them had come to the end of the tunnel, and entered a tall forest that covered the sky from between the mountain walls, "Now the kingdom of water is almost controlled by the dark palace, Look there."

Naruto looked up in the direction of Tsunade's finger, and a huge building complex loomed in the distant forest.

"That's the headquarters of the Dark Temple, and Shui Ying is trapped there now."

……

Naruto listened to Grandma Tsunade's explanation. Although he couldn't digest the information he heard for a while, he had already understood that when Konoha's high-level officials were angry at the silence and arrogance of the country of water, the country of water had fallen into a crisis. It is called the vortex of the Dark Temple.

It turns out that Grandma Tsunade had already heard about the Dark Temple when the news of Kakashi's death came out, and she has been secretly investigating in the Land of Water for the past two years.

Although the Dark Temple still exists in the Land of Water as an external organization, nominally having nothing to do with political affairs, secretly it has the right to negotiate with Mizukage.

"They have a forbidden drug that can completely change into the opponent's appearance when mixed with the opponent's blood. At some point, people from the Dark Temple have mixed into the Anbu, the army, and high-level decision makers of the Kingdom of Water. , the influence is growing."

When Konoha was arguing over whether to mobilize the army to prepare for war, the country of water also had a stalemate on whether to go to war with the country of fire.

"People are constantly missing at the border, and rumors from nowhere have been pointing to the Land of Fire. The high-level people in Wuyin Village began to point out that they want to start a war with the Land of Fire, but Mizukage insists that just rumors cannot be used as a reason for war. The pigeons sent by Konoha have never responded, the envoys have been dying on the way, and the Kingdom of Fire has not responded..."

……

Listening to Tsunade's statement, Naruto was shocked, and gradually became convinced that the two countries of water and fire were almost in the same situation.

"Grandma Tsunade, we don't have any news from the Land of Water. Your carrier pigeon is the first message from the Land of Water in so long."

Tsunade nodded, "Ah, I also recently tried to return to Konoha but couldn't live without it. Almost everything outside the country of water has been sealed off. Now, there is an internal knot formed by immortal arts around here. Outsiders can come in, but people here can't get out, and I guessed it..."

Tsunade paused when he said this, raised his eyes and looked at Naruto seriously, "Even if the carrier pigeon flies out, it may be robbed and killed when it reaches the destination——Naruto, has Konoha been captured by the Dark Palace?" Infiltrated?"

Infiltrated?

Sasuke who behaved strangely...is he still Sasuke...

Naruto only felt a chill from the soles of his feet sweeping through his whole body in Tsunade's almost all-seeing eyes, he didn't dare to answer Tsunade's question, he opened his mouth, unable to make a sound no matter what.

Tsunade sighed, "We'll talk about this later, now Mizukage is trapped somewhere in the headquarters of the Dark Temple, and the upper-level ninjas of Mizukage's faction dare not speak out about it, for fear that Mizukage's disappearance will completely demoralize them. That's why I sent a carrier pigeon to see if I can inform you—there is also a layer of fairy magic barrier around the headquarters of the Dark Temple, and ninjas who don't know fairy arts can't get in."

"So Naruto, now only you can break this barrier." Tsunade looked at Naruto with a determined seriousness in his eyes, "We must rescue Mizukage! Otherwise, the Dark Palace will gain the absolute right to the Kingdom of Water Afterwards, war will definitely be declared against the Nation of Fire, and this world will fall into a terrifying vortex where the Dark Hall has no purpose!"

……

In this world, unknown darkness will appear at any time.

What kind of cause does the Dark Temple originate from, and what kind of fruit will it produce?

But even if the world is never as it should be, I want to protect it...

Do your best!

Naruto reached out and touched the transparent barrier in front of him, thinking about the unknown horror brewing in the barrier, his anger almost burned his mind - so both Mr. Kakashi and Grandma Chizuru died from this organization!This organization infiltrates everything in a disgusting way!This organization provoked a civil war in the country of water!Provoking sharp conflicts between the two countries——

This organization is trying to destroy the peaceful consciousness brought about by the tragic Fourth World War—to lead the resting world into chaos again—

He made a seal angrily, trying to swear to the people inside the dark hall in the most violent way that he was resolutely dissatisfied and irreconcilable, but was suddenly stopped by Tsunade behind him.

Naruto looked back puzzled, but Tsunade explained, "Naruto, the Nine-Tails in your body is still sleeping, and the strength of the Dark Temple is terrifyingly unknown—I don't want anything to happen to you."

Naruto understood what Grandma Tsunade meant, she wanted this rescue to be carried out in secret.

He couldn't help frowning with dissatisfaction, but he also knew that Grandma Tsunade's consideration was correct - the nine tails in his body hadn't awakened yet, and his experience of being defeated two years ago did prove that there were people in the dark temple with extraordinary strength.

He adjusted his breathing, changed a way to create a hole by combining the fairy art and the enchantment, made a soft breakthrough, and sneaked into the dark hall silently, looking for the water shadow.

Because they were wearing the cloak of the Dark Hall, it was not too difficult for the two of them to walk inside the Dark Hall.

The place where Mizukage was trapped is not a secret in the dark hall. It didn't take too long to find Mizukage. Mizukage seemed to be seriously injured, and several men in black were still torturing her about Wuyin Village.

The two who decided to save people in the dark suppressed their tempers and waited until nightfall before they sneaked up on the men in black and rescued Shui Ying from the prison.

Naruto carried Mizukage on his back and left with Tsunade quickly, came to the edge of the barrier and broke through the barrier silently in the same way.

Naruto asked Tsunade to leave the breakthrough hole first, and then supported the unconscious Mizukage to let Tsunade go out, but the breakthrough hole was suddenly frozen before Mizukage passed through!

He turned around in a hurry, and a man in black stood behind him, and the moment he turned around, he suddenly pressed him against the solid ice behind him.

The unconscious Mizukage fell down in a series of movements, Naruto subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab her.

There was a taunting murmur in his ear, and before he could react, the man in black who was suppressing him raised his hand and said two words, "Frozen."

The water shadow that fell to the ground has been swallowed by a large piece of spreading ice.

Naruto turned around in astonishment, and an angry spiral pill hit the man in black, but the man took his attack, leaned his face and whispered in his ear, "You know you can't beat me."

You know you can't beat me...

His voice and the same sentence coincided with those in his memory, and Naruto realized at that moment that he met the man in black two years ago again.

When Grandma Qianxuan died in a hurry, the sound of bones breaking rang again...

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Grandma Tsunade who was isolated outside the barrier. Before everything started, he almost shouted in a voice of fear, "Grandma Tsunade, go!"

Even if you always fight until you fall down, at that time, you should already know that you will not be able to escape...

You are always like this, worried about your friends, worried about your elders, worried about all the people in this world who should live a happy and stable life but may not be able to...

You will be my enemy for this imperfect world you like, so I, who hate this world, easily decided to count you together.

I watched you fall into my plan, step by step towards my preset conspiracy.

But in the end, it came to an ending that we all didn't expect.
