[Hokage] Kiss you in the wind

The sky was dark, and the icy rain kept falling from the sky.

The howling wind gradually disappeared, and the explosive thunder and lightning gradually disappeared. Except for the sound of pattering rain, the world became quiet again.

All dust settled.

The vast ground turned into ruins, and the entire Uchiha ancestral hall was torn apart, only a tall stone wall painted with the Uchiha clan emblem stood quietly among the rubble everywhere.

Sasuke gasped heavily, he slid slowly against the stone wall with all his strength, and then lay down on the ground, his open eyes didn't have the slightest focus.

He is the last victor in the battle.

His enemy, Itachi Uchiha, had lost his breath, lying quietly on the side, eyes closed forever.

—he won.

Sasuke stared at the sky above his head in a trance.

The dark clouds entrenched above that would not dissipate weighed on his heart like a haze.

There was a meandering bloodstain from his forehead to his eyes, which was getting lighter and weaker with the washing of the rain until it disappeared completely.

— Just now, he killed Uchiha Itachi.

He should be happy, because he was the winner in the end, he killed the enemy he had always wanted to kill, but he was not happy at all.

The feeling of rainwater falling into his eyes was painful and astringent, Sasuke simply closed his eyes.

Both he and Xiazhi persisted until now to kill Uchiha Itachi, and he can even say that his life since the age of seven exists for revenge, and all the choices he has made in these years are for revenge.

Today, he finally succeeded in revenge.

He relieved the nightmare of himself and Xia Zhi, they no longer have to work so hard to live, and no longer have to force themselves desperately for another person...

All the past will come to an end with Uchiha Itachi's death, and he can finally put aside his negative obsessions and lead Xia Zhi to plan and move towards their future together.

But Uchiha Itachi really died, but he was more confused and at a loss.

What is the meaning of Uchiha Itachi's last action and the sentence he said before he died?

Sasuke frowned speculatively.

It is said that when a person dies, he will suddenly become enlightened, and he will reflect on his life. Even the most vicious people will wake up and regret what they have done... So, in the end, did Uchiha Itachi mean that he regretted it?

Do you regret killing the Uchiha clan, regret ruining the happy life of yourself and others, regret becoming the executioner who slaughtered the whole clan, or regret that you chose the wrong path, or regret letting yourself go?

And Uchiha Itachi actually smiled at him in the end, and his expression looked relaxed and relieved.

relief?

Sasuke turned his head to look at the person lying face up next to him.

Uchiha Itachi who closed his eyes looked mature and stable, as gentle as jade, as if he was still the reliable and amiable brother, not at all as cold and cold as Suzaku Akatsuki before—the appearance of lying so quietly and buried with Sasuke The older brother in my memory looks exactly the same.

——"As long as people are living by relying on their own knowledge and cognition, they are bound by these at the same time, and call them reality. But knowledge and cognition are ambiguous things, so the so-called reality may be just a dream. People actually live in their own obsessions, don’t you think so?”

Recalling the words Uchiha Itachi said before the battle started, Sasuke let out a long breath.

He frowned with some headaches, then stood up with effort on one hand.

After wiping the rain off his face, Sasuke pulled out the Kusanagi sword next to him and put it into its scabbard.

One last glance at Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke withdrew his gaze, and left the gravel-strewn place without hesitation.

So what if there are more questions?

——everything is over.

……

In order for Sasuke and Itachi to fight one-on-one without being disturbed, Kidou Mizuki and Kisame Kisame were all waiting in another far away place, so they didn't know that the battle was over.

At this time, Sasuke was not in the mood to find his teammates at all, but walked casually in another direction.

He found a cave with poor paving.

Re-arrange the hay on the ground so that they lay flat on the ground, then Sasuke took out colorful scrolls, medicine, gauze, food and water, and clean clothes from the ninja bag. Take it out.

When all the injuries on his body were cleaned up, Sasuke was already breaking out in cold sweat several times, his face was pale and gloomy, and several bandages were wrapped around his bare upper body.

He was so tired that even though there were so many things in his mind that were crowded like they were about to explode, he really didn't have the energy to think.

The battle with Uchiha Itachi exhausted all his Chakra and strength, and he even thought he would die in the end... It turned out that Uchiha Itachi would be the first to fall in front of his eyes.

Such a powerful Susanoo.

Sasuke let out a long sigh of relief, and simply lay down on the ground in a relaxed manner.

He was so tired that he didn't have time to think about it, so Sasuke closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

However, the ninja would still be vigilant when he was sleeping, so when someone appeared not far away out of thin air, and then stepped towards his direction step by step, Sasuke immediately broke out of the sleep state, and the whole person became vigilant.

It wasn't until the man appeared in front of him that he slowly opened his eyes.

The person who came was dressed in black and black pants, and also wore black gloves on his hands. Only the orange turbine-shaped mask on his face was the only bright color—the other party covered himself very tightly.

Sasuke said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

The visitor said without any concealment: "I am A Fei from the Akatsuki organization, and my real identity is... Uchiha Madara."

Sasuke frowned: "Uchiha Madara?"

Although he has never met Uchiha Madara, he also knows some of the other party's deeds, and it is impossible for other Uchiha clans to survive. Also, even if the strong often look much younger than their actual age, this person in front of him is also...

"I know you don't believe me, but there is one thing that can prove my identity."

"what?"

The person raised his head slightly, exposing the eye hidden in the mask to the light.

Sasuke's eyes widened!

——Sangouyu Sharingan!The opponent must be from the Uchiha clan!

"you……"

Before he finished speaking, Sasuke felt a burst of scorching power gushing out from his left eye, and then a stream of bloody heat slid down from his eye socket.

At the same time, the black flame instantly ignited the person's arm, and spread to the whole body!The other party wailed and retreated into the darkness, the voice became weaker and weaker until it disappeared.

Sasuke covered his painful eyes, his eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

- That's Amaterasu!Why can his eyes use Amaterasu? !

"Uchiha Itachi is dead, but you still have to find a way to prevent me from getting close to you." The man walked out from the darkness of the cave again. Hei Yan had disappeared, and he didn't seem to have any damage.

Sasuke frowned fiercely: "What did you say?!"

……

After more than ten days of cloudy and rainy days, the forest country was once again covered by sunshine.

The earth seemed to have been thoroughly washed by the clear water. There were crystal dewdrops hanging on the trees and grass, refracting colorful rays of light in the sun.

Finally, when the weather was good, Xia Zhi evenly spread the herbs that had been processed earlier on the special hollowed-out wooden board, and then took it to dry in the sun.

After laying out all the medicinal materials that needed to be dried, she turned around and planned to go back to the room to pack up her things, and then go to the forest—more surprises can always be found in the forest irrigated by sufficient rain.

But when she turned around, her excellent insight as a ninja allowed her to instantly discover the abnormal small black spots on the horizon, which were definitely not the shadows of birds.

The beautiful pupils narrowed slightly, tightly locked on those few black spots.

As the other party got closer, Xiazhi recognized those people-it was Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, and a stranger dressed as a root.

They were sitting on rough summoned beasts with black outlines on a white background that were obviously transformed by ninjutsu, and they were flying towards her direction.

—They must have come for her.

"Xia Zhi."

Kakashi was the first to jump off.

Xia Zhi looked at him without surprise or avoidance, and said slowly, "Mr. Kakashi."

Kakashi looked at Xia Zhi with a complicated expression.

His feelings for Xiazhi are different from those for Naruto Sasuke, but they are not much different.

Although Xiazhi is not a member of the seventh class, but because of Sasuke, she has a very close relationship with the members of the seventh class. Not only did she arrange all their medical supplies, but she always appeared at the first time when they were injured. He always shouted "teacher" and "teacher".

In his impression, this girl who always had a soft smile on her face and looked at Sasuke with a glowing gaze was really suitable for Sasuke, just like the people around them said - a perfect match.

Although Xiazhi looks weak, she is actually very strong, rational, kind and generous. Her personality and Sasuke complement each other in many ways, and she can easily influence Sasuke and lead Sasuke in a good direction.

But he didn't expect that such a reasonable Xia Zhi would accompany Sasuke to do so many outrageous things, such as defecting with Sasuke regardless of the consequences, such as going to Orochimaru knowing the danger.

"It's been a long time."

When all the staff arrived, Kakashi stood at the front, and beside him were Naruto Sakura and Sai.

The breeze whipped a leaf across their line of sight.

"Yeah, it's been a long time, Kakashi-sensei, Naruto, Sakura, and..." Xiazhi looked at Sai, "Did you join later?"

Sai nodded: "Hi, I'm Sai, you guessed it right, I did join later."

Xia Zhi nodded, then looked at Kakashi and said, "Mr. Kakashi, tell me, what do you want from me? It shouldn't be to bring me back to Konoha, or to chase and kill me."

She was very calm, with a flat expression on her face, showing no emotion or anger.

Kakashi shook his head and asked, "Do you know what Sasuke is doing now?"

Hearing the word Sasuke, Xia Zhi's expression finally changed: "What's wrong with Sasuke?"

"You do not know?"

"Tell me, what happened to him? Did something happen?"

Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Not long ago he killed Uchiha Itachi."

Xia Zhi squeezed her hand tightly: "I know, what then?"

"Then he chose to cooperate with the Akatsuki organization. First, he captured the tailed beast, then made a big fuss at the Five Kages Conference, and killed Danzo. Do you know all of this?"

Xia Zhi was obviously a little shocked: "Why would he do this?"

Sasuke killed Uchiha Itachi, shouldn't he come to her first?Why haven't you come to her for half a month?And what about the latter?Aren't he and Akatsuki at odds?Why would you cooperate with Akatsuki again?And Tailed Beast and Danzo... What happened next?

Naruto frowned: "Because he wants to destroy Konoha!"

Xia Zhi looked into Naruto's eyes and asked persistently, "Why?"

Sasuke must have encountered other things after killing Uchiha Itachi!Because they have been together for so many years, Sasuke has never had the idea of ​​​​touching Konoha, and it is impossible for him to deal with Konoha suddenly for no reason.

Kakashi and Naruto know the truth about Itachi Uchiha, but this involves a high-level secret of Konoha, and it has not been confirmed, so they must not tell it.

Naruto took a step forward and said, "He can't keep making mistakes like this. You always know, Xia Zhi, we always hope that you two can return to Konoha, and I will never give up on this point!"

Xia Zhi didn't speak.

Naruto continued: "He shouldn't be with Xiao's people. I can understand his hatred and understand his feelings, but everything he does will only make more people fall into the same hatred as him. Moreover, the leaders of the Akatsuki organization have officially announced their goal, which is to set off the fourth ninja world war. If Sasuke is on the side of the Akatsuki organization at this time, then he is making an enemy of the whole ninja world and will inevitably be criticized countless times. I know that you have always wanted to take revenge and revive the Uchiha, but if this continues, you..."

"Naruto." Xia Zhi interrupted Naruto.

Her palms were already sweaty, and her heart was beating violently. She was far less calm than she appeared on the surface.

Naruto is like a sun.

No matter how bad the people around him are to him, he will still find ways to face it positively and try to change other people's thoughts. He is willing to save even those who have hurt him, even Sasuke who is just a partner with him. Also always refuse to give up the chase.

But Sasuke is different from him.

Even though he also has a very sad life experience and experience.

"People's ideas are different, just like everyone's ninja way is also different." Xia Zhi said slowly, "I know, you must have met with Sasuke before you came to me, there is nothing you can do about it." Talking to him, that's why you thought of coming to me and letting me change his mind, right?"

Xiao Ying, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Because only you can convince him, only you can save him!"

Xia Zhi looked at Sakura who suddenly spoke in surprise, and slowly shook his head: "Sasuke must have his reasons for doing this, he never does things for no reason. If he wants to take revenge on Konoha, then something must happen What made him feel that Konoha was sorry for him."

"I like Konoha very much, and I also hope for peace, but what are these compared with Sasuke? I will never stop what he really wants to do. Also, you think highly of me, obviously I have always been His staunchest supporter."

"And why do you say 'rescue'? He just chose a different path from yours. Is this wrong?"

Kakashi stopped Naruto who wanted to speak: "I think I know your answer."

"You should have expected it, Kakashi-sensei."

Kakashi sighed: "You're right, but I don't give up, I still want to give it a try."

"Anything else?"

Kakashi shook his head.

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "See you then."

"Don't want to come with us? We can take you to meet him."

Xia Zhi shook his head: "He asked me to wait for him here."

A group of people came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

After their figures completely disappeared into the distant sky, Xia Zhi turned and entered the house.

The room was a little messy, and there were thousands of paper cranes on the table by the window, some were painted with spells, some were stained with blood, and some were stained with other strange colors.

Xia Zhi picked up a paper crane and watched it intently.

——It seems that she can't go out, she must find a way to make things as quickly as possible.

The author has something to say: Xia·Dingdangmao·Zhi is about to appear again.

After thinking about it, everyone might ask why Xiazhi didn’t go with Kakashi and the others. The answer was that if Xiazhi left, the author would have to write tens of thousands of words more, so after careful consideration, the witty author decided not to let her go with her. [Okay, it’s a lie, the reason is actually... Guess what? 】
