[Comprehensive] Sasuke, come back

In the most critical situation, when the Third Hokage was cornered, two Uchiha ninjas with kaleidoscope sharingan joined the battle, which completely changed the situation of the battle. The members attacked fiercely wave after wave.

And the people who joined the battlefield behind them made the already heavily injured Hizan spit out a mouthful of old blood. He stared at the man with black hair and golden eyes standing on top of the dragon-like snake, and decisively closed his eyes He chose to play dead - he really didn't want to see the scene where Orochimaru attacked Konoha again.

In the case of a deadlock between the two sides, the belated one temporarily stopped the raid.

Hatake Sasame, who was reincarnated into the body of Kaguya-kun Maro, shouted "I'm sorry, I'm late", while forming a seal to activate the sealing technique, successfully sealing Payne's actions, and under the incredible eyes of everyone, the An untold story from the past.

It turns out that in the kidnapping case a few years ago, Sanshoyu Hanzo was seduced by Konoha senior Shimura Danzo with benefits, and he believed his slander, and kidnapped Konan as a hostage, which made Yahiko commit suicide at the hands of Nagato, and also It is the current Payne body.

"Nagato, I know this incident is a devastating blow to you, but it's all over, isn't it?" Zuo Yu seemed to be talking to Payne, but actually he was talking to Payne himself who was thousands of miles away Nagato said. "If Yahiko knows the truth, I don't want to see you and Xiaonan avenge him in this way. You have been in the dark for too long. You should have inherited Yahiko's will and ended the war completely, not..."

"Jun Malu!" Orange-haired Payne interrupted suddenly, looking at the pale man with Samsara Eyes, and said. "It's not your turn to intervene with me and Xiaonan."

"The information about Uchiha Itachi and Kisame going to the Land of the Wind, you secretly passed it to Uchiha Sasuke, right? I have suspected you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to betray the organization so soon."

"I didn't want to betray the organization, but I found the best way to solve the war." Speaking of this, Zuo Yu looked sideways at the blond girl who was half kneeling on the Third Hokage, probably because of the excessive consumption of Chakra , the girl's face was abnormally white, but her eyes were bright and firm, looking at them vigilantly and flawlessly.

"Mutual understanding between people will fundamentally avoid war." He said what the girl and Kakashi had said to him in the Death Seal Barrier.

Although he failed seven years ago, he quickly came out of the failure and summed up the reasons. He tried to think of another way to change this world with light and darkness. He tried to imagine that if I am Hatake Saun, what will I do.

After a fierce ideological struggle, he decided to become Hatake Sagu again, Konoha's Hatake Sagu.

The first thing he did was to inadvertently reveal to Uchiha Itachi that the Akatsuki organization intends to collect tailed beasts—if the tailed beasts are withdrawn from Jinchuriki's body, Jinchuriki will die. Forbearance, the actual identity is the undercover agent placed by the third generation in the Akatsuki organization.

As he expected, Uchiha Itachi quickly managed to convey the news to the third generation, and the third generation would send Kakashi's team to the country of the wind, but he still relied on his ability to see the future, too Too conceited, underestimated Nagato and Konan.

The original trajectory of this world has been changed because he can see the future. The third Naruto Sarutobi Hiruzen should have died in the Konoha destruction plan launched by Orochimaru three years ago. The only high-level person who knew Uchiha Itachi’s undercover identity died, Uchi When Bo Weat will never see the sun again, he can only continue to lurk in the Xiao organization.With the passage of time, the number of battles has increased in intensity, plus the burden of never giving up the thought of extermination, Uchiha Itachi will die from overwork and illness in the near future. The last thing he will do before he dies is to help His younger brother Uchiha Sasuke sealed the curse mark that Orochimaru left on him.

However, because of the butterfly effect between him and Uzumaki Naruko, the Third Hokage did not die three years ago. During these three years, Uchiha Itachi had secretly contacted the Third Hokage. I don’t know when Nagato and Konan discovered this move. That's why they sent Uchiha Itachi and Kisame to the Land of Winds to capture Ichichuriki, but in fact they brought the rest of the organization members to raid Konoha.

Smart as Hatake Sasame, he has already seen through Nagato's plan, and he is also worried that Uchiha Itachi is bound by his physical condition instead of Kisame's opponent, so he passes this information to Uchiha Sasuke who doesn't know what plan he wants to make before they set off.

Uchiha Sasuke did a lot of things in just seven days. First of all, he recruited Orochimaru and the pharmacist without a fight. Orochimaru is a scheming and very conceited person. Zuo Yu suspected that he had premeditated.The second thing was to recruit the members of the Eagle Squad seven years later, and then they disappeared completely as if they had disappeared from the world. He also found him through his extraordinary ability.

As he expected, after Sasuke knew that Kisame was likely to kill Uchiha Itachi on the way to the Land of the Wind, he led the Eagle Team, Orochimaru, Yakushidou and others to rush to the Land of the Wind, and it was obvious that they He worked together to defeat Kisame, and he also successfully brought Uchiha Itachi back to Konoha, becoming the most critical backbone against the Akatsuki organization.

But there was one thing that he didn't expect, and because of his ego, he thought Payne wouldn't doubt him.

It was also for this reason that when Payne sent him to the Land of Rain in the name of a mission two days ago, he did not expect that he would attack Konoha so quickly, which was why he arrived so late.

"What naive words are you talking about, mutual understanding between people?" Payne turned his reincarnation eyes to scan the Konoha ninjas participating in the battle one by one, and finally landed on Naruko, sneering. "People don't grow without suffering, so how do they understand the despair I've experienced?"

Having said that, his eyes turned, and he looked at Itachi Uchiha who had almost reached his limit but was still holding on, and continued. "Mutual understanding between people? Uchiha Itachi killed all the Uchiha people, including his own parents. Can you understand what he did?"

"..." Itachi's scarlet eyes narrowed slightly, under the shroud of bright sunlight, they reflected a gloomy light, like sighing helplessly one after another.

"Uchiha's matter, it's not your turn to point fingers." In order to reduce chakra consumption, Sasuke, who had already released Sharingan, came over and just blocked Payne's sharp gaze at the girl, and his black eyes met him quietly. , I no longer have the hatred I had when I first met Uchiha Itachi.

"Is that so?" Payne replied, and looked at Zuo Yu again. "It seems that we have taken different paths. You who are standing opposite me are already my enemies. Let me destroy all the people you cherish, and let you experience the pain and despair that I have experienced. You You should be able to understand my thoughts and actions..."

"It's not my turn to tell you about Uchiha." The sealing technique on Payne's body followed the movement of waving his hand, and small cracks appeared, and then they all exploded with a bang.

"Which race do you think the sealing technique comes from? As outsiders, you still want to use the sealing technique to restrain me, a Uzumaki tribe."

"Everyone be careful!" Naruko shouted seeing that the sealing technique was broken.

At the same time, Sasuke and Itachi activated Susano again to block the orange-haired man's large ninjutsu.

"Uzumaki Naruko, take Third Hokage-sama first and go to the barrier." During the battle, Itachi/Kami said to Naruko.

"..." Naruko used earth escape ninjutsu to barely block the attack, and looked at the boy hesitantly.

"He is more familiar with the intelligence of the members of the organization than we are, so follow his instructions." Sasuke manipulated Susanoo, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes that did not appear to fluctuate, but Naruko read a touch of comfort in it.

Naruko nodded, helped up the seriously injured Sarutobi Hiruzen, and activated the instant body technique to enter the barrier.

Only then did she realize that there was another person in the chaotic battlefield, wearing a pure black robe, wearing a swirling one-eyed mask, and holding a weapon similar to a plantain fan, fighting one-on-one with the silver-haired ninja.

Naruko sent the third generation to the side of Sakuraichi who was liberated from the puppet master battle, but the young man was rarely distracted, and saw his blue eyes overflowing with light, and shouted excitedly towards the direction behind her. "Tsunade-sensei! It's Tsunade-sensei who is back!"

Naruko followed his gaze and saw a giant toad rising from the ground, with a pipe in its mouth and a face full of flesh.Standing above his head was a white-haired man with a hedgehog head, who was posing handsomely at this moment, and said to the crowd who were beating hard. "They are really rude guys. To attack Konoha arbitrarily like this, have I agreed with Miaomushan Toad/Toad Immortal?"

What answered him was a large ninjutsu like raindrops.

"Jiraiya..." The man with black hair and golden eyes standing on the giant python squinted his eyes, showing a meaningful expression, looking at the familiar scene of playing treasure, his eyes condensed an emotion called nostalgia, "I didn't expect... ..."

"Who allowed you to beat Mr. Hirizhan like this!" Orochimaru's words were interrupted by the sound of heavy hammers from landslides, followed by the woman's furious scolding.

"..." Orochimaru trembled three times from the shock, looked at the woman standing on the slug, the tight lip line was slightly curved, it seemed that they had returned to the time when they fought together during the Third World War, that was really true Nostalgic time.

"I can see the reunion of the 'Sannin' again in my lifetime, and I will die without regret." When I heard Sakura shouting 'Tsunate-sensei', Hizaru, who was in the state of 'playing dead', opened his eyes suddenly , looked at the three disciples who appeared at the critical moment, and said with emotion.

"Tsunate-sensei is back, Third Hokage-sama, you will definitely not die, even if you want to die, she will pull you back from hell!" Sakuraichi, who was treating him, showed a big honest smile.

"..." Why can't I be happy at all, there are talented people from all over the world, and it really doesn't work if you don't accept the old, Ri Zhan once again lamented that it was a bitter tear for him to be a Hokage at a young age, and began to estimate when to take the position of Hokage Pass it on to these young aspiring youths.

Naruko saw that he was fine, and when she picked up the ninja sword and was about to rush out, Hizun stopped her first.

Naruko looked back and met kind eyes.

"Naruko, you are still young, and you have endured enough. Now that Jiraiya and the others have returned, if they can protect you well, then you..." At this point, he paused, looking past Naruko. later.

Naruko looked back and saw Sasuke walking towards the side with the black-haired man with bleeding eyes.

"Is it... Itachi Uchiha?" Doctor Xiong who was treating the injured ninja looked over and recognized the man.

The man has black shattered hair, the ends of which are simply tied up. He wears a Konoha Ninja forehead with horizontal lines on his forehead, which symbolizes his identity as a rebel. He does not seem to be seriously injured, but his physical strength and chakra Excessive consumption, half-closed his right eye and looked at them indifferently.

Compared with him, the boy looked a little embarrassed, with scratches on his arms and cheeks, and dust on his dark blue collared shirt.

This is... Uchiha Itachi...

Different from Sasuke's three-dimensional and resolute facial contour, Uchiha Itachi's facial contour has a neutral softness. If she hadn't activated the red Susanoo just now to stop Sasuke who almost lost his sanity, she really wouldn't be able to see that It is really hard for a person with gentle eyebrows to exterminate his family for the sake of righteousness, and has been lurking in the Xiao organization for so many years.

Probably because of the man's rebellious status, when the two of them came, the noisy atmosphere fell silent, and everyone looked over.

Naruko hesitated for a moment, stood up and walked to the left side of the man, took his arm and put it on his shoulder, helping the boy to support the man.

"Don't worry about me, go and heal Uchiha Itachi first." Hirizhan struggled to sit up, brushing away Sakuraichi's hand and shouted.

"Hi! Hokage-sama." Sakura stood up quickly and ran over.

The light green chakra light condensed and covered the man's weak body. Sakura's face changed instantly, but she pursed her lips and raised her eyes and said to Sasuke. "It's not a serious problem, it's just that the chakra is consumed too much, and you can recover quickly if you pay more attention to rest."

"Thank you, Sakura." Sasuke replied.

Hearing the thank you from the usually indifferent young man, Sakuraichi and Naruko were taken aback at the same time, they looked up at him, their faces were still expressionless, their eyes were also very cold and indifferent, but it seemed that something had changed, became soft .

Sakura nodded in response, got up and walked towards the wounded not far away.

In the battle outside the barrier, with the joint operations of the three ninjas and the cooperation of the man wearing the whirlpool mask, the situation gradually tilted towards Konoha, especially after Matt Kai and other jnin who had solved Kakutsu and Hidan joined the battle .

He will definitely win, and Konoha will be fine.

Seeing the seniors fighting bravely outside the barrier, what flashed through Naruko's mind was the situation in the world seven years later, when Konoha Maru took over as the Sixth Hokage.

"As long as there are flying leaves, there will be fire burning, and the shadow of the fire will shine on the village, and new leaves will sprout."

Now, Naruko seemed to understand the meaning of this sentence.All the seniors, including the third Hokage, are the fire of Konoha, and they will sacrifice their lives to burn themselves to bring peace and stability to the younger generation.

She thought of the miserable world seven years later, and an idea took root in her heart, which soon grew into a towering tree.

As if reacting sensitively to the gaze, Naruko turned his head and looked over, just in time to meet the boy's bright eyes as dark as lacquer.

When Naruko looked outside the barrier and cared about the battle situation, Sasuke carefully looked her over from head to tail, top to bottom, and when he was sure that the girl was not seriously injured, he let out a breath of relief.

The four eyes met, as if thunder attribute chakra came through the air and broke through the wind, it hit my heart with an indescribable numbness.

"Naruko..." Sasuke opened his mouth and said only two words, then he tightened his lips and remained silent. His focused eyes did not flutter, but the light in his eyes gradually changed from indifference to gentleness, as if falling into A little bit of fluorescence from the mortal world shone with a soft luster under the ninjutsu that covered the sky and the sun.

"..." When did Sasuke become so gentle, Naruko quietly looked at the pair of black eyes that were looking at her intently, facing such Sasuke, she didn't know how to speak for a while.

Sometimes it's not because we are in the dark, but because we close our eyes to find the light.

Now, Sasuke opened his eyes, and what he saw was a world warmed by sunlight streaming in through the crack.

"It's okay, Sasuke." Naruko guessed what he wanted to say, shook her head to stop what he wanted to say, and then showed him a very light but very real smile. "I said that I will be your destination, waiting for you in Konoha, and I will do what I say. This is my way of ninja."

"..." Sasuke was dazzled by the girl's crescent-shaped eyes, and it took him a long time to speak in a voice that only he could hear. "How lucky should I be to meet you, Naruko..."

During their conversation, the battle outside the barrier became fierce, and finally the war provoked by the Akatsuki organization ended with Payne and other five people retreating. The death of personnel is also something to be thankful for.

……

After the war, the village quickly entered a state of reconstruction.

On the third day, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third Hokage, was still on an IV in the hospital, but was caught by Hokage's assistant Nara Shikohisa and continued working in the office.

"I think I should abdicate to the virtuous." Ri Zhan raised his head from the pile of scrolls and said solemnly.

"No, Hokage-sama, I think you can do it for another 500 years." Lu Jiu ignored the growing resentment in his own Hokage's eyes.

"Although I still prefer Jiraiya, Tsunade seems to be a good candidate." Hirizhan resolutely ignored Shikahisa's flattery, touched his chin and said, already imagining the scene of Tsunade taking over Hokage in his mind.

"Master Hokage, you'd better finish today's work first, and then think about these things." Lu Jiu ruthlessly pierced his dream.

"But Tsunade went through so many sad things during the Third World War, and she looked haggard. If she were to be Hokage, she would grow old soon." Hirizhan said to himself, thinking about it After a few days, I will be able to remove my armor and return to the field, and I will feel inexplicably comfortable.

"..." Does Tsunade-sama still look the same? She's as strong as a cow. How do you know she's haggard?Lu Jiu silently covered his face, the most critical issue was that he had to agree to be Hokage.

On the other side, in the izakaya, two people who had no awareness of Hokage candidates were feasting on wine.

"Tsunade, can I ask a question?" Jiraiya was already drunk, his face was as red as a tomato, and he looked at the beautiful woman with a smile.

"Huh? What's the problem?" Tsunade took a sip of his wine and looked at Jiraiya.

"What kind of cup are you, let me touch it... ah..."

When Orochimaru walked into the izakaya, it happened that his former male teammate was retreating at an incredible speed. Orochimaru's eyes moved slightly, and he moved a step to the right very quickly, and then saw the male teammate hit hard on the ground. On the door, a twisted human-shaped hollow appeared on the wooden door.

"..." Although this kind of scene has been seen countless times, Orochimaru still feels very shocked. From another perspective, after being beaten for so many years, he is still stubborn. I don't know whether he is stupid or infatuated. .

Orochimaru decided to ignore him, went straight to sit down opposite the woman who was still clenching her fist, and stared at her with golden eyes.

"Tch, every time I see you looking so old and immortal, I really get angry." Tsunade narrowed his slightly drunken eyes.

"To each other." Obviously you look much younger than me, Da Shemaru replied with a sneer.

After a while of teasing, when Jiraiya walked over in a state of embarrassment, clutching his bleeding nose, Orochimaru stood up and said to them. "I'm leaving. I don't know when we will see you next time. You two must not die."

"Eh?" Wait, I seem to have misheard.

Jiraiya covered his nose with his left hand, stopped Orochimaru with his right hand, stared at him with eyes that were more white than black, and choked out a word during the day. "You're gone, who will be Hokage? Don't you really want to be Hokage?"

"That was all a long time ago." Orochimaru raised his eyes and glanced at his male teammate, "Besides Hokage, I didn't care at all."

"Then what do you care about?" Tsunade said suddenly, looking at Orochimaru faintly, "Is it because of the child from the Uchiha family? Is that child still leaving the village? Do you want to be with him?"

"Which child?" Jiraiya's brainwaves were not connected.

"Tsunate, you are actually a good woman besides drinking and gambling." Orochimaru sent a good person card to Tsunade.

"..." Tsunade watched him go away, looked back at Jiraiya who said 'I don't understand what you are talking about', and spread his hands. "Oshemaru is really smart. He knows how to appear at the most appropriate time. He used this war as an opportunity to successfully get rid of his identity as a traitor. On the other hand, he has further gained the trust of the children of the Uchiha family. But now he seems to have no idea about immortality. I'm not so persistent anymore, I don't understand why he must follow that child?"

"This...probably..." Although Jiraiya didn't understand, he seemed to understand a little, scratching the back of his head and said. "After all, he is a teacher. Isn't that what a teacher is like? Even if a student has surpassed himself, as long as the teacher is still alive, he has the responsibility to protect the student."

"He also wants to see how far the child can grow, or maybe he wants to see his future with his own eyes."

"Yeah." Tsunade nodded, unable to deny, suddenly remembered something, and suddenly grabbed Jiraiya's hand. "There is another question. Orochimaru patted his ass and left. Who will be Hokage?"

"..." This is really a question, Jiraiya also fell silent.

In the early morning of the next day, when Zaizhan happily sent someone to find the three good disciples, what he got was the news that all three of them had left the village.

The plan to disarm and return to the field failed again.

Time went back to an hour ago, at the gate of Konoha Ninja Village.

"Do you have to leave? Our seventh class reunited after a long time, you..." Sakura clenched her hands into fists, her blue eyes staring at the expressionless male teammate, "You know Naruko she..." Like Looking at you, why do you want to leave...

"..." Sasuke didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.After a long time, as if waiting for the awkward parting atmosphere to settle down, he opened his mouth to explain. "Itachi's eyes have been temporarily blinded due to excessive use of Sharingan, and his body has become sick from overwork. I am afraid he will die soon. The ninja world is so big. I want to find a way to cure him."

"..." Tsunade-sensei had already said that he was terminally ill.

Sakura frowned, endured it and still didn't say anything.

"I'm leaving, Suigetsu and the others are still waiting for me." Sasuke glanced at the three people who had already stood as statues outside the village, and said to Sakuraichi.

"But..." Sakura shouted, "Is it really okay not to say goodbye to Naruko? Although she looks carefree, she is actually very careful. She..."

"It's okay, it's not like I won't see you again." Hearing the word 'Nariko', Sasuke's footsteps paused slightly, and a soft light appeared in his side eyes. After leaving this sentence, he walked towards the gate of the village.

5 minute later.

Xianglin quickly walked a few steps to keep up with the boy, and said in a low voice with his hands. "Sasuke, someone is following us."

The super perception ability of the Uzumaki family came into play.

Sasuke stopped and looked up at the towering ancient tree at two o'clock from [-] meters away. After hesitating for a moment, he stopped and said to the other three members of Eagle Squad. "I still have something to do, you guys go first, gather at Kikyo City in a while, Dashewan and Yaoshidou are waiting for us there."

"But, Sasuke..." Xianglin was about to say something, but the boy's figure had disappeared into the woods.

When Sasuke jumped onto the branch, Naruko had already noticed it.

Still on duty at the root, she was wearing an Anbu combat uniform, with a mask that symbolized the identity of the captain pinned to her waist, standing there a little awkwardly.

"..." Seeing Sasuke leap onto the branch, she opened her mouth to say something, but in the middle of it, she clenched the corners of her lips and looked at him quietly.

"Are you promoted to the captain of the dark army?" Sasuke looked at the girl's disturbed appearance, and his calm heart collapsed, as if it was stuffed with cotton. It was soft and full, and his eyes moved down to at least the girl's waist, and asked. .

"Well, the third Hokage-sama just issued an order yesterday." Naruko followed his line of sight, touched the mask and replied.

"The task of Anbu is difficult and dangerous." Sasuke stared at the mask for a while, then suddenly raised his eyes to look at the girl. "be safe."

"Okay." Naruko nodded in response.

The atmosphere fell into silence for a while, and even the sudden morning breeze stopped, the air was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling on the ground, only the sound of each other's steady breathing remained.

Naruko was looking at her toes, but when she raised her eyes, she found that the boy had been staring at her. Inexplicably, her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously took a step back to distance herself from him. retreat.

She secretly took a deep breath, trying to swallow back the heart that was about to jump out, but the young man stepped forward as if deliberately against her.

Sasuke thought Naruko's reaction was cute, like a frightened bird, nervous and uneasy, probably because she was too nervous, which caused a crack in her always calm expression.

This is rare, even after seven years Naruko still rarely showed any expression, most of them were very calm and wise.

Naruko suddenly didn't dare to look at his face, and pressed her back against the tree trunk, trying to calm her nervous heart with distance.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of the tree trunk being crushed, and she raised her eyes again. The boy supported the tree trunk next to her face with one hand, restraining her in a small space. She was too close and she could clearly see the boy's black body. In his eyes, his own appearance was reflected.

After defeating Hatake Zuoyu, they looked forward to returning to the past world as soon as possible, except for Naruko.

Going back to the past world means that everything is back to the original point. She is no longer the Fifth Hokage, and he is no longer the leader of the Eagle Squad. She is just the most ordinary member of Konoha Ninja Village Anbu. He just left the village to follow Orochimaru Konoha Ninja.

She has her own circle of life in Konoha Ninja Village, and he has something to do outside the village bearing the name of Uchiha.The seventh class has been together for less than a year, and it is just the intersection of two rays. After the intersection, they go further and further in different directions.

Naruko didn't know what was going on with her. She was fine at first, but those feelings of girls who were abandoned by her came out inexplicably, making her unable to think normally and calm down. out of the village.

Uchiha was born to win, and the best Sasuke is the overlord who soars in the blue sky. Although they don't know when they have feelings beyond their companions, those loves are not worth mentioning in the world that advocates force. The impulse has passed It's over, how can she become the shackles that bind him.

"Naruko." Sasuke suddenly lowered his head and whispered softly in his ear.

"Huh?" Naruko tilted his head slightly, trying to avoid the air he exhaled.

"It looks like my hand is stuck in the trunk."

"..."

Naruko was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened spontaneously, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the boy. After two seconds, he realized the meaning of what he said, and quickly looked at the boy's left hand propped on the tree trunk—it was intact.

"I lied to you." Seeing the worried look on the girl's face for a moment, Sasuke's mouth twitched, and warmth overflowed from his eyes.

"You hate..." Naruko became angry from embarrassment, subconsciously raised her hand to push him, but was pulled by her wrist halfway, and her voice had a hint of coquettish resentment that she didn't even notice.

Naruko's hands were so soft.

Sasuke pinched her Rouyi, as if pinching it into his heart.

"The reason why I insisted on leaving the village is..." Sasuke said with a serious expression as if he had organized his words. "Itachi is the clan that was exterminated under the orders of the high-level Konoha. No matter what the reason is, so many Uchiha clansmen have died. Even though Itachi has forgiven them, I have no way to forgive them...or I haven't yet. way to forgive them."

"From the age of seven to the age of 16, the only purpose of my life for nine years was to kill Uchiha Itachi, but now..." He paused, and sighed silently.

"Even if Itachi had to kill the tribe, I still can't forgive him now, and I can't forgive the village that forced him to kill the tribe. This may be the reason for my lack of experience, so I want to go to the outside world to see, go to Find the reason and goal of living again, or more precisely, it should belong to my path of ninja."

"En." Naruko nodded, as smart as Naruko, how could he not know what he was thinking, but that was all.

"Maybe it's presumptuous to say that to you." Sasuke let go of her hand, and met the girl's soft eyes, "Come with me."

"..." Naruko was taken aback for a moment, and the young man's focused and serious expression came into view. For a moment, she was actually tempted. She wanted to nod her head heavily, and said yes with a smile.

But, just for a moment, she soon regained consciousness and calmed down.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke." Naruko thought that she would be sad or a little bit difficult or embarrassed to reject him, but the moment she spoke, the originally gripping heart slowly let go, and even her tone changed. firm. "I can't go with you, I...I want to stay in the village, I want to stay in the village like Kakashi-sensei to be a ninja, take the task of the ninja team, and watch the students grow from only knowing to hide behind me to being able to stand alone Be an excellent ninja on one side."

"I...I also want to contribute to Konoha's future."

"Sure enough." Looking at the girl's shining eyes, Sasuke frowned slightly and then quickly relaxed, "You are the only one who regards this kind of life that every ordinary Chunin can achieve as a dream. ..."

"..." Naruko scratched his head in embarrassment.

"So……"

The boy's words stopped abruptly, and Naruko looked up at him.

"You...how are you thinking?"

Naruko noticed that when the young man said this, there was a flash of embarrassment in his eyes, as if he felt that the girl was looking at him, he turned his head unnaturally, not knowing where his gaze fell.

"Huh?" Naruko frowned lightly, and didn't realize the meaning of his words for a while, thinking that the young man is not a person who can be difficult, so it shouldn't be a question of whether to follow him or not. "Think about what?"

"..." Sasuke's deep eyes moved slightly, and his eyes moved from the half-meter-high bushes in the distance to the girl's face, as if he had hesitated for a long time and finally made up his mind, he opened his mouth and said. "Let's date, Naruko."

"Ah? I..." Naruko was taken aback for a moment, but was interrupted by the boy before he finished speaking.

"I remember that I expressed my heart to you. If you forget, I won't say it again."

"..." Naruko saw the young man's focused expression in his eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly curled into a beautiful arc, and his blue eyes were also bent into a crescent shape in an instant. "Even if I won't leave the village to follow you, do I still want to date?"

"Yeah." Sasuke nodded.

"Even if it's possible we'll only see each other once a year, or maybe the next time we meet will be many years from now?"

"Ah."

"Even...you didn't find a way to forgive Konoha's dark side until the end, maybe you will never return to the village for the rest of your life?"

"Ah."

"even though……"

"Naruko." The girl's question came like a cannonball, Sasuke stopped it in time, put his right hand on her head, and rubbed it gently, "There are not so many even..." And it is impossible for me not to come back , because even if Konoha doesn’t have anything for me to commemorate, at least you and Itachi are here, no matter how far I go, I will come back.

The sudden interruption caused Naruko to fall into silence, Sasuke couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and began to wonder if he was too aggressive just now, and then he heard the girl's cheerful voice. "Then let's date."

"En." Sasuke nodded, took a step forward, and gave the girl a light hug like many times before, but this time the mood was different, he knew that the girl in his arms belonged to him from now on.

This time, he finally embraced his sun with open arms.

Sasuke walked very neatly, just said "see you again", then jumped off the branch and walked towards the direction he came from.

Naruko stood on the spot for a while, and took a step to leave after the parting mood calmed down. She touched her waist with her right hand and wanted to put on the mask.

Where's my mask?

Naruko looked down at her empty waist, and recalled the hug just now, and when she left, the boy took the opportunity to take away her mask of the leader of the dark army.
