Naruto You

I remember seeing a man with a mask in my dream.

Under the moonlight, most of the face is hidden in the shadow under the mask. The exposed nose tip and thin lips have a nice and familiar alienation, very close to me...

When he opened his eyes in the morning, Naruto vaguely remembered such a dream.

He thought for a while, he didn't seem to see the appearance of that person clearly, but he subconsciously knew who the person who only saw half of his face was...

He dreamed of Sasuke Uchiha.

The person who makes the mood a little subtle and uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Naruto sat up and scratched his head a little irritably, wondering why he kept thinking of Uchiha Sasuke for no reason these two days.

Inexplicably shaking his head with some anger, Naruto didn't want to think about this issue any more. Naruto got out of bed barefoot and came to the window. There were a few ninjas who were injured for some reason and were trying to recover in twos and threes walking behind the hospital in the early morning.

Although I have no memory, I have learned a lot about ninjas during this period of time because of curiosity and questioning. Naruto was lying by the window to pass the time bored, thinking that since he has been the Seventh Hokage, he must be very powerful. That's right, then after being discharged from the hospital, you must be able to practice quickly to regain your glory...

When he was thinking wildly, he was startled by the figure on the big tree in front of the window.

The man wore a mask on his face, and the forehead without the Konoha logo was slanted to cover one eye. He was dressed in light clothes and was different from the ninjas in the village. He seemed to be squatting on a tree branch and watching him for a long time. , the exposed eye suddenly bent with a smile after meeting his gaze.

"Yo~"

The voice was lazy and inattentive. The man on the tree raised his hand and greeted casually. Although he looked very unscrupulous and didn't look like a ninja from any country, Naruto almost immediately recognized this strange Uncle is harmless.

Familiar intimacy can not deceive people.

The people on the tree should also be the ones they were close to before.

I just don’t know why he suddenly appeared in such a place... Thinking so, Naruto waved to the tree and shouted, "Uncle Mask! Why are you squatting here?"

The person on the tree smiled and squinted the exposed eye, and said indifferently, "Well~, I must have lost my way."

"Huh? Lost?"

"Ah, I haven't been back to the village for a long time..."

As he spoke, he jumped down from the tree and walked to the window, leaned his face and looked at Naruto like that, and didn't speak for a while, the exposed eye unexpectedly showed a very serious emotion.

The inexplicable Naruto stepped back and wiped his face in confusion, then he narrowed his eyes again with a smile, and suddenly stretched out his hand to rub Naruto's messy hair, "Little brother, what's your name... ..."

"you do not know me?"

Naruto pointed to his face and asked doubtfully, a little surprised, after all, he should be a famous person in the ninja world from the stories told by his companions, "Is Uncle Mask the ninja of Konoha?"

"Well~, I'm retired, I'm getting old."

He answered the wrong question and said such a sentence, and the confused Naruto then obediently explained his name, "I am Uzumaki Naruto."

"Huh? Is that so?" The voice under the mask seemed to be puzzled again, "But in my impression, Naruto is bigger than you."

The childish face was wrinkled because of the other party's words, "I'm almost 25 years old. Grandma Tsunade said that I was seriously injured three years ago to prevent a ninja war. The treatment method will make my age go backwards. That’s why it became what it is now.”

"That's it..." The man wearing the mask was silent for a while, his half-closed eyes were wondering what he was thinking, and he asked again after a while, "...then did they tell you what kind of ninja war it is? Woolen cloth?"

"It means that someone started a war to hurt everyone."

"Who is it?"

Naruto was stunned for a moment, and then realized that no one had ever asked him about the question of "who" and he had never asked it.

Obviously, it should be worth mentioning about the past, why was it ignored by everyone...

The blue eyes looked at the half-closed eye, Naruto looked at the masked uncle in front of him and couldn't answer, and then saw the uncle in front of him suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes again, and casually started haha——

"Well~"

But was interrupted by Naruto——

"Bad guy."

He answered such a sentence, thinking that such an answer can never be wrong—since everyone said that he is a hero, then the person opposite the hero is a villain...

The person under the mask didn't answer the conversation this time, but stretched out his hand and rubbed his hair again, his half-closed eyes were full of emotions he couldn't understand.

After a while, he smiled and closed his eyes again.

"Why did Uncle Mask ask me this? Don't you know about the war three years ago?"

"I didn't see it with my own eyes after that."

At this point, the door of the ward creaked. Naruto, who was lying on the window sill, turned his head to look. Sakura, who was carrying breakfast, pushed open the door and walked in. When she saw the person in front of the window, she froze for a moment before speaking in surprise, "Ms. Kakashi?"

"Yo~"

"You're back."

"Yeah, I suddenly heard a lot of people talking about Naruto..." Kakashi said as he rubbed the messy hair in front of him again. The golden color under the morning sun had a familiar bright color, but he never thought that there would be One day, we will see again...

Long time no see, Naruto.

"It's not Uncle Mask, call me Kakashi-sensei."

Naruto, who was confused, realized that he was being tricked, and after shouting a few words, he was easily distracted by the inattentive "Uncle Mask"...

"Ms. Kakashi has been traveling outside for the past two years? Will you meet many powerful ninjas? Mr. Kakashi must be very powerful too. When I am discharged from the hospital, Mr. Kakashi must teach me ninjutsu!"

"Well……"

Kakashi slowly answered Naruto's endless curiosity, looking at the boy's innocent blood as if it was a long, long time ago, his squinting eyes are like crescent moons...

It's the same as before, but some people have forgotten it all.

How will those fetters stuck in memory be implicated again?

……

Although he couldn't help but get upset about the entanglement between his two students, Kakashi, like everyone else, didn't mention a word about Uchiha Sasuke on the day he saw Naruto, so he brought the seventh class and the ninja period together. All the time, because of avoiding the existence of a person, I kept silent.

But no one mentions it, but it doesn't mean that Naruto can ignore Uchiha Sasuke's existence. He couldn't help but struggle with those two unreasonable dreams, and slowly began to care about that one person.

When many contemporaries gathered in the ward, he would pretend not to care and look behind the crowd, wondering if that person would stand in front of the door with his back against the door frame, or any inconspicuous position, and then So quiet and silent out of place.

But I didn't see it for many days.

The person who has clearly appeared in real life is like a fiction that I inadvertently imagined. I can't hear anything about him, and I can't see his existence. It seems that he has nothing to do with my life, no matter before or after...
