[Naruto Storyline] Wandering

In the early morning of that day, the sky was dawning, less than three hours before Sasuke entered the territory of the country of water, the remaining members of the KSII team met at the army station of the country of fire in Tingshui Temple Town, and the Kamiyama branch sacrificed two Anbu members. The Heyuan branch sacrificed three Anbu members, and the original 12-member team now has only seven members. Although KSII agreed that the beheading mission should continue, there was no unified answer in everyone's mind on how to proceed.

"Why don't we pretend to be homeless residents of Tingshui Temple Town, apply for asylum to the Land of Water, and then enter the Land of Water to track Sasuke's whereabouts." After pondering, Haruno Sakura suggested.

"I think Dr. Haruno's proposal is very good." At this time, the doctor from the Kamiyama branch sitting opposite Haruno Sakura said, "It's just that Dr. Haruno and Uchiha Sasuke are husband and wife. If you meet Uchiha Sasuke when you enter the country Being recognized is a very dangerous thing."

Haruno Sakura raised her eyes and stared at the other person in surprise. The man smiled at Haruno Sakura indifferently, and continued: "Doctor Haruno may not know me, but I know you. We are the same class of Konoha Military Academy medical staff." The students in the class, except that Dr. Haruno was in Class [-] and I was in Class [-]. Because Dr. Haruno was the last disciple of Master Tsunade, he was quite famous in our class." He stretched out his hand to Haruno Sakura, "Not yet I have time to introduce myself, my name is Shenshan Qianyu, my hometown is from the Shenshan area, and I am very happy to be able to participate in this operation with Dr. Haruno."

As soon as Chiba finished speaking, everyone cast strange glances at Haruno Sakura. She felt a little embarrassed: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Dr. Kamiyama. Regarding Uchiha Sasuke, he and I are no longer husband and wife. Many things happened during this, and I will I won’t repeat it here.”

"If we want to disguise ourselves as refugees and enter the territory of the water country, all of our weapons and ammunition will not be able to be carried." Said the captain of the Shenshan dark army, "unless we have the opportunity to get close to Uchiha Sasuke, it will be difficult to do it even after entering the water country. But The risk of getting close to Uchiha Sasuke is too great, if you are not careful, you may lose your life..."

Haruno Sakura showed a thoughtful expression. She frowned and thought about it, and proposed another method: "If the plan just now doesn't work, I have another idea. I don't know if you think it is feasible. I was in the water twice Xiaodu expressed his idea of ​​recruiting to the country to participate in medical support, and now I am going to the country of water as Haruno Sakura to seek asylum, and strive to enter the affiliated hospital of the country of water military, and use this method to inquire about Sasuke. "

"Doctor Haruno means that he intends to undertake the entire task by himself?" Qian Yu asked worriedly.

"This is just my idea. If you have other better proposals, that would be the best." Haruno Sakura nodded.

"I am willing to go to the country of water with Dr. Haruno." Qian Yu made a statement, "I hope to assist Dr. Haruno to complete the task."

"Only relying on two doctors, I'm afraid..." The Anbu members present all felt vaguely uncertain, but no one proposed other plans.

"Then let's deploy Dr. Haruno's proposal as an action plan first." The leader of Shenshan Ananjun thought for a while and agreed. He took out a pen and paper and drew a sketch. Go together, but you have to hide your identity as a soldier of the Fire Country and keep a certain distance from Haruno Sakura, so as not to have doubts about Haruno Sakura. Looking for a temporary job in the country, the most important thing is to keep in touch with Haruno Sakura so that she can be taken care of in time."

"After completing the mission, how should we retreat?" Qian Yu asked.

"Maybe you can consider retreating by water." Haruno Sakura said, "The affiliated hospital of the Water Country military is located in the capital area. I heard Sai said before that it takes a train from the capital area to reach the border between the Water Country and the Fire Country. Twelve hours, once we kill Sasuke, all train stations in the Land of Water will be strictly inspected and sealed off and martial law will be imposed. It will be difficult for Dr. Shenshan and I to safely evacuate from the Land of Water. But there is a land of water near the capital area. The country's largest trading port responsible for the import and export of ships, Wuyin Port, it only takes six hours to reach the territorial waters of the country of fire from the Wuyin port. Ships or merchant ships from other countries, let them pick us up in time, and it will be easy to handle."

"When it comes to arms dealers, you may be able to use KMWRC's influence in military industry and weapons to find reliable arms dealers who have business dealings with Akatsuki." Said the captain of the Shenshan Army, "The former head of KMWRC, Nobuo Sakuma, used to be a wooden An employee of the Leaf Microbiology Research Institute, after he left Konoha and established KMWRC, he once attracted many people who were ready to move, including Orochimaru who defected to Konoha a long time ago, but Orochimaru did not join the traditional military industry in the end. Or The microbial weapons industry went to the country of water to establish itself, but as far as I know, Oshemaru’s former student, Mitarai Red Bean, had a private arms relationship with Oroshemaru for a period of time after Orochimaru left Konoha Later, he moved to a military enterprise in the Iron Country, and now he has become one of the famous arms dealers. The military enterprise in the Iron Country has a huge business network, and maybe he has some contacts with Akatsuki."

"Mitarai Red Bean, I remember she was originally from the domestic military industry." Haruno Sakura had heard of Mitarai Red Bean's name when she was in college.

"That's right—then, if everyone has no objection to this plan, we will act according to this plan. I will report the situation to the Central Committee of the Land of Fire as soon as possible and then proceed to contact Hongdou." Said the captain of the Shenshan Anan Troop, "Qianyu, enter the Land of Water From now on, Haruno Sakura will work under Akatsuki's eyes, so the work of communicating with the outside world and delivering information will be left to you, and you must be careful to hide your identity."

Chiba nodded solemnly.

The procedure of entering the land of water is smoother and simpler than Haruno Sakura imagined, but the identity of Haruno Sakura has attracted great attention from the high-level officials of the land of water. After hearing that she came to the land of water to seek asylum, the medical treatment of the land of water The minister personally called the entry application office, hoping to approve Haruno Sakura's application as soon as possible and transfer her to the Affiliated Hospital of the Water Country Military Hospital.Of course, the entry application office did not forget to carefully ask and check the reasons for Haruno Sakura's entry and her background in the Land of Fire, but Sakura Haruno had already fabricated a set of half-truths and half-false statements in advance, so the Land of Water did not Perceived the true purpose of her trip.

After going through strict security checks, Haruno Sakura's entry procedures were quickly completed.

This is the third time Haruno Sakura has come to the country of water. At the invitation of the head of the medical department, she returned to the hospital where she participated in the medical support of the country of water for the first time, the military affiliated hospital of the country of water, which is also the largest in the capital area. Hospital.Walking on the familiar street, Haruno Sakura saw the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic and the Parasite Research and Disease Control Center that she founded a few years ago. Her favorite dessert shop remained the same as before, and Haruno Sakura stopped at the entrance of the dessert shop, feeling an unspeakable melancholy in her heart.

Under the arrangement of the affiliated hospital, Haruno Sakura moved into the staff dormitory near the affiliated hospital in accordance with the hospital staff standards.Accompanied by the dean, Haruno Sakura came to the hospital to complete the registration process, and then the dean invited Haruno Sakura to the office.In the office, the director of the medical department of the country of water is also there. The two first expressed their welcome to Haruno Sakura's return. On the other hand, the director of the medical department also made a request to Haruno Sakura: "Dr. We are working in the Affiliated Hospital of the Military of the Kingdom of China. There have been several surgeries recently, and we plan to record some surgical teaching videos for the students of the medical school as video teaching materials. These surgeries were originally arranged for the dean. Now that you are here , we hope that you will perform the surgery yourself, and provide explanatory materials for the teaching video."

"Please let me see what types of surgeries are available." Haruno Sakura nodded, and took the order of surgeries from the dean.However, when she saw the name of Uchiha Itachi in a list of patients, Haruno Sakura felt that her heart seemed to stop beating at this moment. She held her breath and looked back along the column of Uchiha Itachi, only to see Uchiha Itachi's name was followed by "Early Peripheral Lung Cancer-Right Lobectomy", and she couldn't help clenching her teeth.

Haruno Sakura browsed through the operation sheet and returned it to the dean, then nodded as if promising.

According to the address and key given by Deidara, Sasuke found the Japanese-style courtyard where Itachi lived. This Japanese-style courtyard looks somewhat similar to the old Uchiha mansion. He thought Itachi would open the door and come to him in the next second, but after a long time, the door was still tightly closed.Sasuke looked down at the military boots on his feet and Akatsuki's uniform on his body, suddenly smiled, and knocked on the door forcefully.

He was no longer the child who could only cry in the face of death.

Sasuke knocked for a while, but no one came to answer the door, maybe no one was at home.The rain in late autumn soaked the gloomy sky above, dripping in the crevices of the stone slabs at the feet.Sasuke held the key in his hand, hesitated for a moment and used it to open the door. He stood on the spot and pushed gently, and the quaint door opened quietly in front of him.

In the cloudy landscape pond, the lotus has withered, leaving only a lonely lotus leaf floating, and the raindrops falling on the bamboo stalks make a muffled sound.Sasuke put his hands behind his back and looked at everything here curiously. He walked around the corridor and opened the sliding doors of each Japanese room. whimper.Sasuke stood in the corridor, surrounded by emptiness and loneliness, which reminded him of the days when he lived alone after the extermination of the genocide. Even with his classmates by his side, Sasuke felt that there was always a bottomless well in his heart, buried His most desperate and darkest emotions.

So, is itachi who is alone in a foreign land also like him?

When he was surrounded by hatred, was Itachi also imprisoned in the self-blame and guilt that Obito said?

Sasuke walked into each Japanese room and looked at the books on the bookshelf. The bottom shelf was filled with books such as "Explosions and Cases", "Chemical Engineering", and "Preparation of Explosives". However, there were also a few booklets of the Flower and Bird Illustrated Book, which surprised Sasuke a little.On the upper three floors, there are books on military affairs, automobiles, and philosophy, all in a style that Itachi would like.Sasuke tiptoed carefully and took out a stack of records on the top shelf of the bookshelf. Those records should have not been opened for a long time, and the outer casing was covered with a layer of dust. Sasuke flipped through these records one by one. Music, also rock music.

Sasuke shook his head - really two extremes, not at all like Itachi's gentle personality in his childhood memories.

But when you think about it carefully, it is not unreasonable for Itachi to like these music. What is hidden in his deep and introverted body is the most forbearing tenderness and the most tragic decision. These two extreme emotions are in him without any contradiction. mix together.

Sasuke stood there holding the record, he closed his eyes, and felt that he had inadvertently peeped into Itachi's unknown heart.

He put the record back in the distance, looked around in the study, and his eyes fell on the rosewood table opposite the desk, on which the Blade of Indra was placed upright.Sasuke turned around and picked up Indra's Blade, and pulled it out with a swipe. This Indra's Blade was as sharp and cold as he remembered, and the light of the knife like water flowed slowly in the dark and indoor room. It has already drank countless blood. It seems that Itachi loves this knife very much, and he must have specially hired a swordsmith to maintain it.

Sasuke held the Indra Blade in both hands, and what appeared in his mind was the rolling head of his mother on the night of the genocide, the pale moonlight, and the Uchiha mansion where blood flowed like a river.

Sasuke decided to wait for Itachi to come back in this courtyard.

At this time, Haruno Sakura nervously flipped through Itachi's medical records in the high-level ward of the Affiliated Hospital of the Mizukuni Military Hospital.The corridor was extremely quiet, the soft light fell on the floor tiles, Haruno Sakura stood in the mirror of the nurse's station and stared at her own face reflected in the mirror, full of timidity and anticipation in her heart, she squeezed her face vigorously, The pain on her cheek confirmed that all this was not illusory, she was really going to see Itachi soon.

Haruno Sakura suddenly lamented the impermanence and wonder of fate. At first, she wanted to avoid the water country battlefield where Itachi was located, but in the reincarnation of the world, she finally returned to Itachi's side. The doctor meets with the identity of the patient.Haruno Sakura raised the corners of her lips helplessly, maybe the emotion and bond between her and Itachi is destined to be unbreakable.

This was the first time Haruno Sakura faced her inner feelings without fear and courage. She came to the door of Itachi's ward, turned the doorknob softly and pushed the door open.

Itachi was leaning on the hospital bed and reading a book, his black hair was tied behind his head by a hair rope. Hearing the movement at the door, Itachi raised his head. When he saw Haruno Sakura, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his face was in disbelief. expression.

"Mr. Uchiha, I am your chief surgeon Haruno Sakura, your operation is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, so..." Haruno Sakura went around and stammered out the words deep in her heart, " I wanted to see you today."

Itachi looked at Haruno Sakura and showed a slight smile. He waved to Haruno Sakura: "Since you're here, don't stand there, sit down and talk."

Haruno Sakura sat down beside Itachi's hospital bed, the two of them looked at each other in silence, only the ticking of the wall clock was left in the silent ward.

"Why do you..." Haruno Sakura and Itachi said at the same time after a while, and after they stopped talking, they couldn't help but smile at each other.

Itachi waved his hand to let Haruno Sakura speak first, but Haruno Sakura shook her head and declined, "You go ahead."

Itachi closed the book in his hand and put it beside the pillow: "Why are you here?"

Haruno Sakura lowered her head and thought for a while: "I came to the country of water to seek asylum, and the situation in the country of fire is not good." This statement is also what she said when she applied for entry, and she does not want to tell Itachi her true intention for this trip , "Ministry of the Water Country's Medical Department heard that I'm here, and especially asked the Entry Application Office to pass my entry application as soon as possible. He hopes that I can work in the Aqua Country Military Hospital."

Itachi looked at Haruno Sakura for a long time, her black eyes made Haruno Sakura a little guilty, but she still mustered up the courage to meet Itachi's gaze, after a long time, Itachi whispered: "You shouldn't come here, you think the land of fire The situation is not good, but as far as the current battle situation is concerned, Akatsuki's situation does not have much advantage, once you lose the battle, you will not even be able to return to the Land of Fire."

Haruno Sakura chuckled: "It's fine if I can't go back, I'll find a town where no one knows me to live in, practice medicine and treat diseases, and live my own happy life-but I really didn't expect to meet you here, I guess Maybe it was fate that led me to come to the Land of Water to save you."

Itachi was amused by Haruno Sakura's words, he stroked his forehead and muttered to himself: "Tell me, every time I am in a life-or-death situation, why do I always meet you and save me?"

"So it's fate that led me to save you." Haruno Sakura raised her eyebrows, and Chao Itachi showed a sly expression. Then, she straightened her face and explained to Itachi the precautions before the operation. promise.

After Haruno Sakura finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment, then slowly stretched out her hand to touch Itachi's fingertips, perhaps because she was nervous, she found her hand was shaking.Feeling the warmth of Haruno Sakura, Itachi was startled, the corners of his lips curved slightly, and he naturally pulled Haruno Sakura's hand and held it tightly.Haruno Sakura's hand was surrounded by itachi, like a fire in winter, burning quietly in the cool palm.Haruno Sakura stared at their clenched hands motionlessly, then raised her head to look at Itachi, and said firmly, "Trust me."

"Yes, I know."
