[Naruto Storyline] Wandering

Since the fleets of the Kingdom of Thunder and the Eastern Theater of the Nation of Fire restrained Akatsuki's fleet distributed in the islands of the Nation of Water, Hongdou's cargo ship entered the territorial waters of the Nation of Fire without much obstruction.Haruno Sakura and his party were completely relieved when they saw the battleship with the national flag of the Fire Nation appearing on the sea reflecting the bright starlight, she smiled joyfully, held Itachi's hand and said, "We are going home. "

Itachi smiled and nodded.

In the Land of Water, Sasuke was in a coma for three full days after the bombing incident at Kirigakure Port. His injuries were serious—epidural hematoma, multiple fractures throughout his body, ruptured abdominal organs, and severe damage to his left upper limb. Amputation.When he woke up, he found himself lying in the hospital, the pale ceiling and overhead lights reflected in his dark pupils, he turned his eyes with difficulty, and saw the monitors in the ward and various drainage tubes placed on his body.The ward was extremely quiet, except for the regular beeping of the monitor, and the pain from all over his body at this moment reminded Sasuke that he was still alive.

Sasuke turned his head slowly. There was a fruit basket on the bedside table, with a card attached to it, with Didara's name written on it. Seeing Didara's flailing handwriting, he blinked and couldn't help laughing.

Perhaps because he had been lying down for too long, Sasuke felt that the joints on his body were stiff and sore. He moved his toes, calves, and thighs lightly. When he moved his upper limbs, he suddenly found that his left arm could not make any movements. How he desperately conveyed the command to raise his left hand from the brain, but there was no movement in the left upper limb.The smile on Sasuke's face froze, his eyes widened, his right hand tremblingly crossed his body to grab his left hand, but the moment he touched the sleeve of the left hospital gown, Sasuke found that the one that should have had an arm Now there was nothing left but the empty sleeves. He held on to the thin sleeves tightly, his heart sank a little, and he let out a low moan.

The severe pain at the moment when his body hit the container reappeared in his memory, and Sasuke had to accept the fact that he lost his left hand.

Sasuke's fingers numbly touched the bandage at the amputation site along the sleeve of the hospital gown, he repeatedly stroked the bandage-wrapped section, and opened his eyes dejectedly, now he really has nothing.

Fortunately, his life was finally saved.

Sasuke's right hand was hanging down on his chest, the beating from the apex of his heart kept vibrating the palm of his right hand, it was the still beating heart in the chest cavity that was pumping out blood for this broken body.Sasuke raised his head, and his eyes stayed on the monitor's screen for a long time, such as heart rate, respiration, blood pressure and blood oxygen saturation. Those values ​​changed slightly, but they were always within a stable range. The steady breathing fluctuated up and down, and the electrocardiogram also showed a regular shape.

These emotionless numbers and curves declare that the various organs in his body are working in an orderly manner in order to allow him to continue to live. A touch originating from life itself is like a gentle cocoon wrapped around Sasuke. , he thought that he had returned to the time when he was a newborn baby. In front of his eyes were the smiling faces of his mother and brother full of joy. Even his father, who had always been unsmiling, rarely showed a look of expectation.

Being alive, even if the process is full of pain, there are always more happy moments than sad moments.

To be alive means hope and the future, and an unknown landscape.

It's good to be alive, even if you have to go on the road again alone.

Sasuke closed his eyes - if the trajectory of life could start again, he didn't know whether he would still be obsessed with the truth of the extermination of the genocide, whether he would impatiently shake off Haruno Sakura and take his hand.

However, he can no longer go back to the beginning of everything, and he can only go to the end alone on the next road.

Danzo learned the news of Itachi's return to Konoha at the first time, and he summoned Itachi to his office for a secret meeting.Haruno Sakura insisted on sending Itachi to the gate of the military building. Itachi patted her on the shoulder reassuringly, then turned and walked into the fortified military building.Walking up the stairs silently, Itachi heard his footsteps echoing in the corridor. He remembered that the last time he entered this building was on the eve of the Genocide Night 16 years ago. He was 19 years old at that time. Today, I listened to my own footsteps until I walked into the office of Hokage's high-level executives.

Itachi looked up at the office sign, and knocked on the door of Danzo's office.

The content of the conversation was nothing more than the wanderings of these years and the current situation of the Fourth World War. After exchanging information between the two sides, Itachi and Danzo reached a consensus-the decline of Akatsuki was already looming, and the victory of the Allied Forces of the Four Nations was just a matter of time. question.During the secret conversation, Danzo asked something, and Itachi answered truthfully.Talking about the Uchiha genocide, Itachi said calmly: "In the days when I left Konoha, I kept the agreement with you and other high-level Konoha, and never told the truth to anyone, even Haruno Sakura. She told the truth. As for Sasuke, it was Obito who told him all this." His eyes looked at Danzo, "I kept my promise, so I hope Konoha can let Sasuke go according to the old agreement."

"You want me to forgive Sasuke for these actions during the war?" Danzo was a little displeased.

"His life and death are unknown now. If he dies in the land of water, then it will be assumed that I have not said this, but if he is still alive, I hope that, no matter what, Konoha can exempt him from the death penalty." So far, Itachi solemnly Ji bowed to Danzo, Danzo frowned and weighed in his heart, Itachi continued, "Sasuke is my most cherished younger brother, the person I want to protect the most, but he will go on the road today and he will be with him." I have an inseparable relationship, and I have always blamed myself for this, but Sasuke's heart is still very pure, after receiving correct guidance and education in a military prison, he is still a usable talent."

Danzo looked dignified, and after a while he slowly asked, "Besides that, do you have any other requirements?"

"Back then, I exchanged Sasuke at the price of killing the Uchiha clan, leaving the Fire Nation and joining Akatsuki. Today, I want to exchange another person at the price of leaving the Fire Nation forever."

"Haruno Sakura?" Danzo asked tentatively.

Itachi nodded, and he suddenly showed an embarrassed smile: "I will leave the Fire Country far away, and I will not set foot in the other three countries. You can rest assured that I will continue to keep the secret of the past, so you don't have to do anything for me. To clarify, what the Nation of Fire needs now and after the war is to stabilize people’s hearts and unite forces. I am from Konoha Anbe, so I naturally understand that Konoha, a big tree with luxuriant branches, needs victims in the dark to make it stronger. Good growth, this is the mission of Anbu, and it is also the original purpose of your establishment of the Root Troop. In essence, the Root Troop, like Anbu, safeguards the interests of Konoha and even the Kingdom of Fire in unknown places .”

Danzo sighed deeply, in his hand was a roster that recorded the members of Anbu and Root Troops, he stroked the cover of the roster and said: "Itachi, it is precisely because of such a person who sacrificed himself for Konoha , the Kingdom of Fire is so powerful, the will of fire is not just the burning leaves, this will also belongs to you."

"I understand your painstaking efforts." Itachi smiled, "It's just that the root troops you sent at that time were really merciless to me. What did you think at that time?"

"Because I didn't trust you at the beginning." Faced with Itachi's question, Danzo also replied directly, "I have never trusted the Uchiha clan."

Itachi didn't argue, but smiled slightly: "Then, I'm also very honored for your praise now."

"About Haruno Sakura, what do you want to say?" Danzo asked.

"I want to leave with Haruno Sakura." Itachi said, a calm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I was diagnosed with lung cancer in the early stage this summer, and I underwent a lobectomy in the country of water, but this does not mean that lung cancer will not stop in the future. I will relapse, so I don't know how many days are left in my life, maybe I won't relapse in my life, maybe I will relapse again in a few months or years, but I have made up my mind, leaving the country of fire means dying Leave it to the will of God, before the deadline, I would like to stay with her selfishly for some more time - but all of this depends on her own will, I will not forcefully intervene, if she is not willing, I will still leave the Land of Fire .”

"What if she leaves with you, and you get sick soon?" Danzang asked.

"I'm just going to tell you about this—if I die of illness, I hope that Haruno Sakura can still return to the Land of Fire to serve, and her future will not be affected by this."

Danzo looked into Itachi's firm eyes and finally nodded.

"I believe you are a trustworthy person. Regarding the Uchiha extermination, Konoha has always kept his promise and treated Sasuke very well." Itachi bowed deeply, "This time, please also fulfill your promise,"

"I promise you." Danzo also said seriously.

Walking out of the military building, Itachi saw Haruno Sakura who was waiting eagerly, her green eyes looked at Itachi expectantly.When Haruno Sakura heard that Itachi was still leaving the Fire Country, she lowered her eyes in disappointment and took Itachi's hand: "This is the result of your conversation with Danzo-sama? When are you leaving? Soon Yet?"

Itachi put his hand on Haruno Sakura's soft hair: "Since I've talked to Danzo-sama, I should go too."

Haruno Sakura bit her lip, tears kept rolling in her eyes, but she couldn't utter a single word to persuade her to stay.Itachi looked at Haruno Sakura's face about to cry, and squatted down in front of her: "Before I leave, I want to ask you..." He fixed his eyes on those green eyes, "Would you like to be with me?" Let's go? Go to a place where no one knows us, and live our own happy life."

Haruno Sakura remembered that this was what she said when she was joking with Itachi in the country of water.

Tears fell down unexpectedly, and the tears stuck in her throat made Haruno Sakura speechless, she could only nod her head vigorously, put her arms around Itachi's neck, and hugged him tightly.

What you love is separated by mountains and seas, and both mountains and seas can be leveled.There are paths to walk in the mountains, and boats to cross the sea.

It took too long for him and her to be able to recognize their hearts, hold each other's hands, and hug each other without any scruples. Be let down.

Haruno Sakura and Itachi finally decided to go to Tanokuni.The land of Tian and the land of fire are located at almost the same latitude, the climate is similar, and they are not within Akatsuki's rule, but the entire land of wind is separated between the two countries. Leaves of Mt. Myogi.Danzo sent people to escort Haruno Sakura and Itachi to the border between the Land of the Wind and the Land of the Wind. On the border, Haruno Sakura and Itachi reluctantly bid farewell to Anbu who was escorting them. The country's domestic trains.

On the swaying train, Haruno Sakura leaned against Itachi and fell asleep quietly. She felt that she had had a long, long dream. With a smile, he stepped forward and held Itachi.The winter sun shone into the carriage, Haruno Sakura's eyelashes cast light shadows on the lower eyelids, Itachi held Haruno Sakura's hand tightly, watching her wake up with a stretched smile.

"What dream did you have?" Itachi asked.

Haruno Sakura blinked: "It was indeed a good dream, but I won't tell you right now."

"Let's talk about it later—we're here, let's get out of the car." Itachi picked up his luggage, and Haruno Sakura responded, took Itachi's hand, and followed him quickly into the dazzling winter sun of Tianzhi Country .
