Someone once divided the human mind into three parts: rationality, will, and emotion, and concluded that their status is distinct from high to low, presenting a hierarchical relationship.

Zuo Ji is used to analyzing the pros and cons of things, and many people think that she is terribly rational among her peers.But only this time, she felt that her emotions had the upper hand.

Knowing that it will do no good if she continues to do so, she will be looked down upon by the villagers, questioned by the Uchiha, and will strengthen the surveillance of the village's high-level officials, but when she sees Naruto's blue eyes full of hurt expressions, her mind is full of tears. After passing through countless bad points, she still picked up the mask and handed it to him.

Then she turned around and walked towards the store manager, pretending to be ignorant: "Boss, can you give me a mask?"

The boss glanced at her suspiciously, seeing her weak body, seemingly harmless: "You choose."

So she quickly chose a new fox mask, and while Naruto was in a daze, she returned to his side.

"Let's go." She smiled gently at him.

The two did not walk side by side along the way, but Saki was in front and Naruto was behind.He didn't follow her closely, but kept a distance of three or four steps away from her, not too far or too close.

No one spoke, the soft breeze slightly lifted the broken hair on the forehead, and there were noisy streets on both sides, but I felt extraordinarily peaceful in my heart.

Zuo Ji stopped when he reached the grove where he often trains.She turned around and saw that Naruto stopped along with him.

"In the future, I'd rather not play with Zuo Ji." Naruto lowered his head slightly, and kicked the pebbles beside his feet.

Seeing Naruto's lost look, Zuo Ji quickly guessed his thoughts.

Although he is currently very young, he has grown up in a depressive environment for a long time and has a very keen intuition.He could sense others' indifference to Zuo Ji, and he felt in his heart that it was because of his involvement.

Zuo Ji stretched out his hand in front of him and clenched it into a fist: "Did you know? The human heart is only so big."

After all, she waved her fist.

Seeing Naruto raised his head and looked puzzled, she continued: "Some people's hearts can hold the whole world, while some people's hearts can only hold one person."

"And my heart can only accommodate the people I care about and cherish."

She doesn't have a great feeling of tolerance for the world, nor a noble thought of self-sacrifice for others. No matter in the past or now, no matter what era she is in, she only wants to cherish the people around her who are good to her.

Perhaps at this time, ignoring Naruto is the best policy, but compared with Uchiha's reputation or the disgusting eyes of others, Naruto is more important in her heart.

Because she feels that losing after gaining is more painful than never gaining.

Therefore, a person like her who has no patience should not be able to achieve great things.

"Without someone in my heart, no matter what you do, you can't hurt me." Zuo Ji raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

Can this be regarded as Uchiha-style paranoia?In fact, she has more or less inherited Uchiha's way of loving people. She only cares about people in her eyes, and dismisses others.Many Uchihas are shown with an indifferent and arrogant appearance, and although she shows that she is not indifferent, she is somewhat similar to them in her heart.

Naruto looked up at her seriously, blinked, and there was a hint of expectation in those beautiful blue eyes: "Am I also in Zuo Ji's heart?"

Zuo Ji nodded heavily: "Of course."

However, Naruto did not show a bright smile, but instead asked in a trance, "Why?"

Maybe it's because I have been hurt too many times, even if I encounter good things, I will think it is a mirage.

Zuo Ji raised her eyes, considering how to explain her actions to Naruto.

"Probably I had a dream one day. In the dream, you were very nice to me, so I also want to be nice to you." In the end, she said to him like this.

Then she saw that the hazy mist in those blue eyes seemed to be blown away by the wind, and gradually dispersed, turning into joy.

Maybe other children would be suspicious, but her great-grandfather was indeed an optimist since he was a child.No matter what hardships he has experienced, he is always willing to believe that the world is beautiful.

Just when Zuo Ji quietly looked at Naruto with a smirk, a cry brought her back to reality.

"Saki!"

She turned her head and saw Sasuke, who was holding his knees and panting.

He seemed to be running all the way here, and he was still gasping for breath: "Huh, I found you! Mom is calling you to go home for dinner!"

Before she could speak, Naruto beside her shouted happily: "Sasuke!"

Only then did Sasuke see Naruto next to him, he raised his chin: "Hmph, what's the matter."

Naruto stroked his blond hair and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just wanted to call you."

"Idiot!" Seeing the other party's silly smile, Sasuke didn't know what to say other than this.

Zuo Ji glanced at the two noisy children in front of him, feeling extremely speechless.

Two great-grandfathers, it will be very difficult for her if you continue to do this!Didn't the rumors say that the two of you cooperated internally and externally, creating the most prosperous era for Konoha with just one light and one shadow? !Didn't you also say that the two of you raised a child together, that is Boren's grandfather?

Just when she was in trouble, a gentle voice rescued her: "You are indeed here."

Zuo Ji had noticed just now that a familiar Chakra breath was walking towards them.So she wasn't too surprised to see Itachi who suddenly appeared here.

"Brother! You're back!" Sasuke decisively abandoned Naruto and rushed towards Itachi.

Itachi nodded: "Sasuke, you're here too."

"I'm here to ask Zuo Ji to go home for dinner, and so is my brother!" Sasuke said with a smile, curling up the corners of his mouth.

"Then see you next time." Saki smiled at Naruto, then took out the mask he just bought from his bag, "This is for you."

Naruto took the mask, and then looked at Sasuke's back, being led by Saki and Itachi, drifting away.

"That's great." He murmured enviously, then lowered his head, staring at the brand-new fox mask in his hand, holding its edge tightly, as if it would fly away if he let go of it a little.

Before leaving the woods, Zuo Ji glanced into the jungle intentionally or unintentionally.

The two children present would definitely not know, and even the Itachi today should not be able to detect the aura of the watcher hiding in the tree.Saki, who has the ability to perceive, naturally noticed Naruto's existence from the first moment he saw him.The other party followed Konoha's main street all the way to the grove, and Zuo Ji guessed that this might be an Anbe who monitored Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Or it can be said that he is an Anbu who knows how to hide his breath very well and has a high level.

Her words and deeds today should be known to the upper echelons soon.

what can she doShe is also very confused!

Want her to abandon Naruto?She can't do it.After all, she is not only a Uchiha, but also a member of the Uzumaki family.But now her position is too delicate, no matter what she does, she will be criticized.

Only one step at a time.

"I passed the Chunin exam." On the way home, Itachi suddenly said.

When he passed, his first reaction was to tell Shisui and Zuo Ji.Zhishui was out on a mission recently, so he ran to the training ground where the two often go, and found Zuo Ji here.

Zuo Ji was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized: "Congratulations."

In fact, she was not surprised at all, because she thought that the current Itachi was stronger than her.He became a Chunin later than her, just because he didn't go to the exam last year.

After that, she will hear the appreciation of Itachi from all the clan. After all, he is the first ninja in Konoha to take and pass the Chunin exam alone.

And Sasuke's reaction was obviously much bigger than that of Zuo Ji. His eyes were full of joy, and he cheered, "Really?! It's great!"

After returning home, Fugaku and Mikoto were very happy to learn that Itachi passed the Chunin exam successfully. Mikoto prepared a large table of dishes, including more than half of desserts.This undoubtedly made Itachi and Saki very happy.

Sasuke stared at the three-color ball and natto with a sad face: "Mom..."

"Ah, picky eating is a bad habit, Sasuke." Mikoto said to him with a smile.

Sasuke suddenly puffed out his bun face, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't see you saying such things to brother!"

Looking at Sasuke's bulging cheeks, Saki almost couldn't control the prehistoric power in his heart.She resisted the pain of poking her cheek with her hand, and set her eyes on the red bean cake in front of her.

"I knew you would react like this," Meiqin smiled knowingly, "Fortunately, I was prepared."

As she spoke, she brought out a plate of tomato scrambled eggs from the kitchen and placed it in front of Sasuke.

Seeing Sasuke's smiling face for a second, even Uchiha Fugaku, who usually has a straight face, slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

After dinner, after everyone returned to their respective rooms, Saki knocked on Itachi's door.

"Is there something wrong?" Itachi opened the door and saw Zuo Ji,

"Is it convenient to come in? I'll leave in a while." Zuo Ji glanced behind him intentionally or unintentionally.

After all, boys always have little secrets, so it would be bad if she broke it.

"Come in." Itachi nodded, turning sideways to make room.

This was the first time Saki entered Itachi's room after growing up.She is a well-educated person, and she will not do things like breaking into other people's rooms, especially if she is a boy.And I usually don't go to visit when I have nothing to do, after all, men and women are different.

The room was as clean as she thought, and everything was neatly arranged. I have to say that the tutor at the patriarch's house is excellent.

After quietly looking around for a week, after satisfying her curiosity, Zuo Ji turned her head and met Itachi's calm eyes: "It's actually nothing wrong." After finishing speaking, she took out the necklace she bought in the gift shop some time ago .

"This is?" Itachi looked at her suspiciously.

"A gift for passing the Chunin exam?" Zuo Ji tilted his head.

In fact, she didn't buy it specifically to celebrate the Chunin Exam, but because she picked out several pieces when she visited the jewelry store last time, one for Shisui and one for Itachi.

"Thank you." Itachi raised the corners of his mouth, took it with a gentle smile, and looked down at the necklace in his hand.

It's a very simple style, just a few silver circles strung together.

He always felt that it was a burden for ninjas to wear jewelry, but Zuo Ji gave him such a gift, and he was actually a little conflicted.But anyway, he will keep it well.

"How are you doing?" Itachi asked seemingly unintentionally.

In fact, he has more or less heard from his parents that Zuo Ji was pushed out by his superiors in the security department recently.

"That's it," Zuo Ji sighed, "The favorability can only be increased slowly, work hard, hope it can be redeemed."

"Well, come on."

Although he was encouraged by Itachi, it was not easy when he found out that Saki was in the security department.

Her boss is a radical who has completely opposite ideas to her. After knowing her thoughts, he has a lot of opinions on her.And after discovering that she had been in contact with Naruto and refused to change after repeated admonitions, he never gave her a good face.

In fact, it doesn't mean that she will be given difficult tasks, but that she will not be given core tasks, and she will be completely placed on the edge of the security department.This is undoubtedly the biggest blow to Zuo Ji who wants to climb up.

Zuo Ji couldn't help lamenting that his behavior was inappropriate.

It may be the identity of the granddaughter of Hokage. Although she is young, the adults have always treated her kindly, including those elite jounin.Even if she occasionally says some sharp words, others will talk to her patiently.

However, now she is just an orphan girl adopted by the patriarch. Even though she has good abilities, but given her age and status, the adults will only show their prestige, and will not treat her as gently as before.

Besides, she felt that Zuidun didn't seem to work on Uchiha, otherwise why did great-grandfather Uzumaki Naruto chase the other for so many years before he got him back?

But when it comes to Naruto, she still does her own thing, but she doesn't act in front of those Uchihas who have objections to her.

It seems that other people in the department are unwilling to go to the Hokage office building, so the task of sending the documents during this period to the Hokage office falls on Zuo Ji.

After the Third Hokage saw her, he took the pipe from his mouth: "It's Saki."

"Hello Hokage-sama, I put the document here." Zuo Ji nodded, and respectfully placed the document neatly in a corner of the table.

"I see." The Third Hokage paused, and looked at her kindly. "You were taught by Shisui, right? The Chunin exam was very exciting last time."

Hearing what the other party said, Zuo Ji suddenly had a bad premonition: "Master Hokage praised me, I am still far behind Konoha's other seniors."

I don't know what the old fox in front of me is thinking at all, anyway, it's right to be modest!

"What a humble boy," Sandai exclaimed, thinking of the proud Uchihas he had met before, and asked seemingly casually, "Is someone teaching the strange power?"

Sure enough, there was a trick, Zuo Ji couldn't help but slander, but he shook his head calmly on the surface: "I taught myself."

The third generation couldn't help sighing: "It's really scary for young people. If you add the power of Sharingan, you can't imagine the progress. Will you come to work under me?"

Zuo Ji suspected that he had heard wrong, so he froze on the spot, staring at him with wide eyes.

And the third generation didn't care about her rudeness: "Zhishui is also working under me, you should go back and think about it."
