[Hokage] On those lives that are open and hanging

"Naturally... Let me tell you with the monthly reading, this time it's real."

Itachi is not very good at expressing words, so he chose the way Zofan said last time.

"……it is good."

Sasuke thought of the first time Itachi dragged him to the monthly reading, and the tragic scene of killing over and over again almost became a knot in his heart.

Starting from the family meeting initiated by the continuous disappearance of Uchiha's people, one after another was like watching flowers on a horse, and together, Sasuke clearly saw that Uchiha was getting more and more restless at that time.

"The continuous disappearance of Uchiha personnel was done by the Akatsuki organization, but we didn't know it at the time. We suspected Konoha more. Bo's attitude is not optimistic, and in the end Uchiha chose to betray the village when he still has a little power."

As the picture changes, Madara wearing a whirlpool mask appears more and more. Sasuke clenches his hand tightly. He watches Shisui die, and Itachi walks on the road of Shisui again. Danzo is pressing every step of the way. His intolerance is mixed with a little fear and hesitation, and in the end it is Uchiha's genocide.

"Sasuke, I'm sorry, I made decisions and plans on my own, but didn't consider your wishes. I'm still too conceited."

Itachi sincerely apologized to Sasuke, his tightly pursed lips did not always have a gentle and tolerant smile like when he was a child. In eight years, they have changed a lot.

Sasuke looked more and more indifferent and tough, but he was still soft to the people he valued in his heart.

Even if she is proud, even if she is angry, she no longer has the heart to push away the hard-won family affection.

"... Now that I have these eyes, I also have the strength to protect you. I am still growing, so don't leave me behind..."

Sasuke said in a calm voice, but his eyes were lonely.

"You are like this, so is Zofan, I am always the one who is thrown far away in your reserve..."

"I'm sorry... Sasuke, I won't do it anymore..."

"If you break your promise again, I will never forgive you again."

"No... As an older brother, it's not right to lie to my younger brother once."

……

"Itachi is willing to leave you here alone, isn't he afraid that we will bully you?"

The room of each member of the Akatsuki organization is only enough for a bed and a bathroom. Without a kitchen, they can only choose to go out to eat. Zuo Fan was bored for a long time, and his body was slightly able to move independently, so he went out to the restaurant in Yuren Village , but was unfortunately met by Didara who also pulled the scorpion out.

Didara jumped to Zofan's side, with a mischievous smile on his face, and the kneaded spider in his hands quietly crawled towards Zofan.

"Brother always has to do tasks, otherwise Senior Loquat will be angry."

Zofan seemed to be smiling unconsciously, the wound on his wrist was still grim, and his thin arm seemed to be able to break with a strong touch, Didara eagerly wanted to pinch it.

"Don't ignore me, little friend Didala, that fellow Itachi is about to become ill, how can you rest assured that Zuofan is alone."

The crow came over in an instant and was inserted between Zofan and Didala. He dragged a chair over and sat on it very smoothly. He stretched his long legs in front of Didara. If Didara wanted to go there, it would be the most convenient The best way is to either give way or cross over.

Of course, as a rebel with a little temper, Didala is unwilling to take the usual path.

After Didala pulled the crow out for a duel, Xie slowly walked up to Zofan.

The dark green eyes looked at Zuo Fan thoughtfully.

"You seem to be looking a lot better, can that kind of poison be undone?"

Xie, who didn't wear the crimson liuhu, spoke a clear but icy boyish voice, now with a little curiosity to soften the coldness in it.

Zuofan, who had just opened the kaleidoscope for Sasuke, immediately thought of Sasuke, his sense of scorpion improved slightly, and he chatted with him very gently.

"Human life is too short and fragile. No matter how hard we struggle, we will inevitably die. There are still so many diseases."

Xie looked at Zuofan's eyes still covered with white cloth and his surprisingly thin body. After chatting with Zuofan for a while, he realized more deeply about Zuofan's superb medical skills. Being able to escape from A Fei and Jue also showed that Zuofan was definitely not That kind of medical ninja with very weak combat effectiveness, but such a person is still haunted by illness and may die at any time.

Scorpion sighed with emotion, and suddenly proposed:

"If you want, I can make you into a puppet. I know you also know how to use chakra lines. You can control yourself."

His puppets are all used for his own battles. The only person he wanted to make into puppets was Didara, but they had different ideas. He yearned for eternity, but Didara was obsessed with the beauty of the moment. Make him a puppet.

Now I suddenly think that there is a person like him, Zuo Fan treats himself so tenaciously, endures such pain and wants to live, probably because he is pursuing this person who can have eternal life.

"I thought you weren't like an ordinary person before. Did you turn yourself into a puppet? It's a wonderful idea, and you actually succeeded."

Zuofan turned his head and faced Xie, his words were full of amazement.

"This is my best work. It will save a lot of trouble if you throw away the flesh and blood. Although your body is not very good, I can use other materials and you can see things again."

Xie stared at Zuofan intently, and was already thinking about how to make Zuofan a perfect puppet and what to replace the bones of his body with.

"I'm very interested in making puppets, thank you for your proposal, but although my body is almost exhausted, I still hope to use it to live."

Zofan smiled and said softly.

"...Human life is very short, and eternity has always been pursued by those strong, just like Orochimaru and Kadotsu." Although Xie was rejected, he was not displeased. He could tell that Zuofan was serious, and he himself The pursuit of eternal art does not require others to understand, but Zuo Fan's peaceful attitude makes Xie interested in chatting with him for a while.

"A person's eternity is a kind of pain, but a world where everyone exists forever is impossible. When all the people you care about die and only you live, that kind of loneliness will drive people crazy. Strong people are also inevitable. To embark on this path, you need a stronger mind, and I am still insufficient now."

Zuo Fan recalled his experience before rebirth, the loneliness that seemed to be forgotten is still clear and terrifying when he thinks about it now.

Zuofan stretched out his hands to cover his chest, and had to inject some life energy into himself, so as not to damage his weak body due to the fluctuation of his soul.

Xie was very sensitive to the oppressive feeling of loneliness surrounding Zuo Fan at that moment.

Looking at his young and childish face, Xie tilted his head slightly.

"You are only in your teens, yet you speak as if you have experienced this."

Zuofan smiled, but didn't speak.

Scorpion didn't care, and continued talking by himself.

"There are only so many people or things that a person cares about. If you don't want to be lonely, just take care of your heart, or make what you care about eternal."

Scorpion's voice was cold, but his gaze remained firm.

Eternity is what he pursues. Even though he knows that he can't give up his feelings, he will not give up his belief and path for the sake of feelings.

"It is true, but people's emotions are always uncontrollable. Greed and cowardice often make them forget their original intentions."

Zuo Fan is very clear that he will leave this world sooner or later, but he has invested too much affection in this place. He has deliberately distanced himself from his relatives and friends over the years, but he still does not want to give up. It is just like this in one world, but he will continue to live in other worlds in the future. Find soul power fragments in it.

He has no confidence in himself. He seems to be very powerful now, and he is even a little complacent, but at this moment he suddenly remembered that he is actually just an ordinary person. Its power and knowledge are completely different from this world.

Compared to him, perhaps someone as firm and rational as Scorpion is suitable for such an eternal existence.

The conversation between Xie and Zofan ended after the crow came back with Didara.

Xie helplessly looked at Didala who was obviously knocked out, sighed, stepped forward to take Didara, put it on his shoulder and left.

Zhishui sat next to Zuofan and watched them go away.

"Why do you suddenly want to talk to Xie, but you can still talk? I knew he didn't want to talk to me." Zhishui rubbed his chin.

"I just want to get to know him and see if it's possible to dig a corner." Zuofan shrugged.

"and then?"

"They only focus on art, and money and medical care are basically useless. Let's not talk about Xie. Didara looks naive but has a firm mind, and looks cheerful but has a kind of arrogant arrogance. It probably won't work."

"Who says they only have art in their hearts?"

Zhishui raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully.

Zofan:? ?

"They clearly only have each other in their hearts!"

Zhishui said it categorically and definitely.

Zofan: ...

I didn't expect Zhishui to say this sentence, but it seems that it is true.

However, this weakness seems to be not very easy to use, so Zuo Fan thought for a while and gave up.

No matter how much he struggles with his arrogance, it is undeniable that he does have relatively strong strength and influence.

Now that the world consciousness has awakened, although he is ignorant, with the help of his own instinct and Sora, he has begun to build a perfect law to fight against the original world law. Even if he directly violently kills Uchiha Madara now, it should not cause any harm to the world. too much impact.

In this case, he doesn't have to be so careful, and Xie and Didala are not too polite if they hinder him.

Itachi stayed with Sasuke for a few days, and both of them tried hard to make up for the vacancy of these years.

When Itachi left, Sasuke didn't want to pay attention to Orochimaru, and wanted to follow Itachi directly to the Akatsuki organization.

But considering that Konoha is about to have a confrontation with Akatsuki, no matter what, it is better to control the uncertain factor of Orochimaru's hatred of Konoha.
