Naruto You

After the dust settles, the world still has to embark on a new journey.

Naruto and Sasuke, who really woke up, made an agreement to wander for an unlimited time. There were joys and sorrows along the way, but the world of ninjas still has joys and sorrows. The new darkness and sins in the karmic cycle will not be wiped out—

But there will always be frivolous teenagers clamoring for distant dreams.

Yin and Yang twins, endless life.

And we've been on the road.

A long time later, on a certain summer afternoon, the light rain was ticking quietly, and the two people who were rarely at leisure changed into loose kimonos, lay on their backs next to each other on the wooden floor of the corridor, and looked at the sky.The small drops of water hanging under the eaves are clear and transparent, and occasionally there will be small drops of water falling on the face with the wind, a little cool and a little naughty, life is free from paranoia and pain, and after waiting for the years, it finally becomes real and vivid. Those things can finally be asked...

"Naruto, what did you say at that time?"

Sasuke asked softly.

Naruto, who put his face on Sasuke's shoulder, had already squinted his eyes sleepily. After hearing the voice, his blue eyes blinked at the sky for a few times before slowly opening, realizing what Sasuke meant...

"When I came across the Lingshi, I had already entered the illusion of the outline, and I have no memory of what happened after that..."

"Then...why did you choose that way?"

"Because you're an asshole."

Naruto yelled this in a funny way, then turned his head slightly to look at Sasuke, and after meeting those black eyes, he slowly calmed down, looked back at the sky in a blink of an eye thoughtfully, and then answered again after a while. Said, "Actually, before that, I often had a similar nightmare. At the beginning, I only remembered that the dream was full of blood, but the rest was very vague..."

Thinking about it now, the answers to those nightmares are slowly coming to light. Maybe long before he understood everything, there was already a deep anxiety in his subconscious, "The dream like that after the last battle with you gradually became clear——I stand In the pool of blood, there are flesh and bones all over the ground, and it is impossible to tell who belonged to the broken ones, and in the dream I knew very well that I killed them all."

"Because of guilt?"

If you really can't save them, it will be regarded as death in pieces...

"Probably so." Naruto nodded, glanced at Sasuke and continued to look at the sky with an embarrassed smile, "But the most important thing is that I can't think of any other way to die... Uh, I can let you see Me once."

Hearing this, Sasuke was slightly stunned, and gently pulled Naruto's hand beside him and held it in his hand, without answering, listening to Naruto slowly talking about what was on his mind at that time...

"Sasuke, do you know? Although you became like that because of me in the next three years, I don't think it's too late for you to repent or anything. It's useless to give you another 30 years if I don't die—it's like a place a long time ago. If you just bandage the fracture and leave a broken knot, if you want to cure it, you can only break the bone and find a way to reconnect it-if you don’t let you hurt the last time you won’t wake up, it’s not a matter of time.”

Hate that can't be blamed is mixed together, that paranoid anger is as indestructible as your Susan and makes you see nothing...

"I was just thinking about how I can let you see me..."

Stab yourself in your eye, even for a split second.

"My thought at the time was, if you hurt, I win."

Sasuke didn't ask further questions, and after a while Naruto said again, "So at that time, what I probably wanted to say to you the most was 'I'm sorry'."

sorry……

Because I actually love you, I feel sorry for you who are considered selfish and paranoid by everyone, and I feel sorry for you who are stubborn and self-respecting. In fact, I live the most selfless life-when I work hard for my dream, you are chased by revenge Growing up, when I practiced hard to be recognized, you were chased by revenge to grow up, when I was accepted by everyone to enrich my life step by step...you were still chased by revenge and made yourself crazy growing up……

I feel sorry for you, because you are forced to live with regrets and anger brought about by the loopholes of this world, and you have always been trapped in that paranoid world and cannot escape...

I feel sorry for you, because apart from hatred, you have no time to think about everything other than hatred, and you don’t have a dream that belongs to "yourself"...

I would like to say I'm sorry - because even if I feel bad, I still choose that way to bet on a chance to hurt you.

I'm sorry, the world I'm obsessed with is that we can all live without being sad, but in the end I chose to leave like that, but I want to deliberately hurt you and waste all your future--Obviously I know your persistence--if you I didn’t get hurt, the tragic thing is me who failed and this suppressed world, if you hurt, I won’t know if you leave... The tragic thing is only you...

I am sorry.

Because I, who tried to save the world by using your liking, actually really like you.

So what I wanted to tell you most at that time was to say I'm sorry...

After saying the sorry, Naruto turned his face to look at Sasuke, bit his lips when he met the unblinking seriousness in his black eyes, hesitating how to say what was in his heart without being too embarrassed——

Sasuke, who had been silent all this time, suddenly came over, quickly kissed him on the forehead, then backed away, avoiding Naruto's sight and looking at the sky.

"Thank you."

The soft voice cut off all Naruto's embarrassing explanations.

The rain outside the porch was ticking, and the breeze was gentle.

Naruto touched his forehead with his hand and couldn't help grinning.

You understand what I want to say.

We, who used to be incompatible, are now finally able to connect with each other.

Fortunately, the future we all thought didn't exist has finally returned.

Fortunately, I still have a chance--

see the same world as you.
