Naruto You

The four major wars are over, and after a catastrophe, several major countries have calmed down unprecedentedly.

After the catastrophe, the mentality of hoping to maintain peace, because of a unity of life and death, has taken root in the hearts of ninjas from several countries, and there will never be any major battles in a short period of time.

Tsunade, who has no burden, looks at Konoha's energetic children and those gradually becoming reliable teenagers, and suddenly misses her long-abandoned gambler career, so, about the sixth generation of Hokage The question of choice was formally put on the agenda.

The most vocal voice in the village is undoubtedly Naruto Uzumaki, the core of the Fourth World War.

However, Naruto himself is not very clear about this kind of high popularity—the two people who were exhausted in the first battle at the end of the Fourth World War, were ordered by Tsunade to rest after being brought back to Konoha, a resting place Considering that the environment should not be too noisy, it would be better, so it was finally settled in the Uchiha Mansion.

Uchiha Sasuke was noncommittal about this arrangement, so the domineering Tsunade-sama sent the two of them in together, and the person who came to take care of them regularly was naturally Sakura Haruno, who was in the same class.

A rare reunion, especially cherished.

Haruno Sakura must be careful in taking care of the two of them. In order to let the two patients rest completely without being disturbed, the violent woman also set an iron law that no more than five people visit the patient every day, and entered the Uchiha without her permission. The guy at the gate wants to reward two iron fists, and Haruno Sakura's iron fist is frightening after the fourth battle.

In this way, the two people who were recuperating were almost isolated from the world.

These days, Sasuke, who was not much talkative, seems to have developed the habit of Shikamaru, lying on the wooden partition of the corridor and watching the clouds in the sky when he has nothing to do, his black hole-like eyes can't see any emotions or thoughts.

And Naruto, who has always been restless, also calmed down and recuperated because of Sasuke's quietness. He seemed to have endless things to say all day long, lying next to Sasuke and talking to himself. The bits and pieces that can pass together are stored somewhere in my heart, and when I finally have the opportunity, I immediately turn on the mode of "I can't stop at all", with rich and colorful expressions, occasionally laughing so happily that it hurts Just grinned in pain for a long time.

"...Speaking of senjutsu, Sasuke, you must not have guessed what I ate in those days at Mt. Myogi, right? You can't guess it? Can you?"

"what……"

"Bugs! It's really a bug! At the beginning, I couldn't eat it at all, but if I don't eat, I don't have the energy to practice——I want to be a man of Hokage, so a few bugs are nothing! My lord, I can't even eat a fly." error!"

"Flies..."

"I'm not talking about flies! What I'm talking about is practicing at Mt. Miaomu - after eating the flies, I have the strength to lift the stone frog - Sasuke, you must not know how the stone frog got here? You don't know ?”

"how did it get here……"

"That's how people change. They say that if you fail to practice immortality, you will turn into a frog—so Sasuke, you don't even know how many times Grandpa Immortal beat me to prevent me from turning into a frog..."

……

"And..."

"..."

……

After a few years of no specific participation, some gaps were left between each other after all, but for Naruto, the gaps are not a problem at all. We still have a long, long way to go together when we are young. Don’t you Yes, I will tell you all.

Sasuke, who has been silent all the time, doesn't talk much about his own affairs. He quietly listens to Naruto's noise, and occasionally speaks a sentence or two, but it is just a continuation of Naruto's story, quietly watching.

His thoughts are still like black eyes, bottomless.

When the appointment of Naruto's sixth Hokage was almost finalized, the partners of the same period finally couldn't help flocking to the Uchiha Mansion.

Seeing that the two were recovering from injuries similarly, Sakura also acquiesced in the excitement of her companions. After all, she wanted the two of them to recuperate and kept the news from Naruto. expression.

"Huh? Sixth Hokage!"

"Yes."

"Ahh! Really? Really? Grandma Tsunade wants me to be the sixth Hokage!"

As soon as Naruto said that, he jumped on Shikamaru who told him the news, grabbed Shikamaru's neck with one hand and shook it vigorously, grinning happily with a Naruto-style smile on his face.

"Cough, cough cough——you're stuck on my neck again, cough cough, you will be disqualified for killing Konoha ninja..."

Shikamaru was strangled, and said helplessly, trying to push Naruto's bear hug away, but there was an uncontrollable smile in his lazily half-opened eyes.

"Alright Naruto, Shikamaru will be strangled to death by you."

"Naruto-kun, let go."

Naruto also realized that he seemed to have strangled the ground too much, he immediately let go of Shikamaru, scratched the back of his head and apologized, "Ah, I'm sorry Shikamaru, I'm so happy!"

"Happy enough to kill someone? Then maybe I will be the one at the inauguration ceremony half a month later!" Kiba also joined in the fun and put Naruto's shoulder on his shoulder and joked, "But you are going to be demoted from Hokage candidate to Konoha Rebellion!"

"Naruto became a traitor? That's really hard to imagine."

"Haha, I will remember to order you to be hunted down! Hahaha...haha...ha..."

He paused his teeth halfway through the laugh, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have accidentally mentioned an extremely sensitive word.

Glancing quietly, I saw Sasuke Uchiha who had been sitting quietly with his back against the porch pillar since everyone entered the door. At this glance, he met Sasuke's black hole-like eyes that couldn't reflect any light. As a living person, the goosebumps on his teeth unsatisfactorily swelled up his arms.

The group of people who came together also thought of Sasuke because of the word "betrayal and ninja". The group of people who had been taking stimulants suddenly became quiet as if they had been blown by the cold Siberian wind. , glanced at Sasuke, and remembered at the same time——During the Fourth World War, the Uchiha genius also said that he wanted to be Hokage...

But from the beginning to the end, he was not among the candidates of Hokage this time. Although Sasuke Uchiha was once again accepted by everyone and returned to Konoha because of the merits of the Fourth World War, but that kind of acceptance is not yet available in a short period of time. It may become a supporter without any grudges, so he will not be among the candidates for the sixth generation of Hokage.

Sasuke, who was suddenly watched by the crowd, didn't respond.

No words of congratulations, no frowns, as if they didn't care who the sixth Hokage was at all, everyone looked at Uchiha with a calm face, and secretly thought about it——

Uchiha, who can't communicate, has a lot of criminal records and is extremely paranoid, really can't make people stop being suspicious...

"Hey, what's the matter, you guys! Why are you looking at Sasuke! I'm the man who wants to be Hokage!"

Naruto's energetic voice suddenly broke the frozen atmosphere.

He stepped forward and squatted beside Sasuke, put his hand on Sasuke's shoulder and narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Sasuke, please say something, I really want to be Hokage, don't you want to congratulate Master Hokage for coming to listen?"

"idiot."

"What! Bastard Sasuke, if you want to be Hokage or something, you don't want to be inferior to me! I'm only recognized by everyone for my real skills, how about it? The one at the end of the crane can also defeat a genius! Come on, Give me a smile and congratulate my dream come true."

Naruto smiled without malice, he looked at Sasuke, it's not that he didn't realize that Sasuke was quiet these days as he grew up and became sensible.

From the conversation that seemed to be confided after the fight between the two at the end of the Fourth World War to the present, Sasuke seems to have returned to the old taciturnity.

He has always felt that Sasuke has nothing to say because of the blankness of several years, so these days he tried his best to fill in the gaps between each other, and gradually felt a little unspeakable uneasiness.

Maybe it's the unreal feeling caused by cherishing too much. I'm afraid that the seventh class who finally reunited will disperse again.

But Naruto could feel that the fact that he was selected as the Sixth Hokage didn't make Sasuke have any big emotional reactions.

Naruto was only disturbed by Sasuke's unresponsive reaction.

There is always a sense of distance that the two of them are not in the same world at all, and he doesn't seem to be able to feel his happiness, just like he can't guess the thoughts hidden in his heart.

So Sasuke, what will happen to us in the future because of this feeling of isolation...

"At the end of the crane..."

Sasuke complained lightly again, pulling back Naruto's slightly wandering thoughts.

Naruto couldn't help but grinned again after hearing the phrase "the one at the end of the crane". He always felt that it was not bad for Sasuke to say this kind of title that was like a mantra when he was a child. At least it made him feel that the distance between the two was slightly reduced. A little bit--well, Sasuke can't know what he thinks now, who likes to be called the tail of the crane is really an idiot!

"Bastard Sasuke! You who didn't become Hokage are really jealous of me, right?"

So the mouth is still noisy.

"cut."

So complaining is still a link between the past and the future.

"Ahh! I hate it to death, why can't you congratulate me!"

"..."

……

So, it's still endless.

Assholes and idiots, we will continue to fight like this for the rest of our lives, just like when we were young...

always.

But not long after, Sasuke disappeared from Konoha again.

At that time, Naruto seemed to have an expected feeling...

Although, I really don't understand, why did you leave my side again this time?

I'm just really, kind of terrified of where we end up.
