Hokage - Mirror Love

?A rare holiday, Eri took Naruto to the street to buy vegetables, and unexpectedly saw Sasuke who was shopping not far away. He was holding a large bag of bright red tomatoes in his hand, and he seemed to be asking the boss about the price of rice balls.

Eri was slightly stunned, although she hadn't seen him for more than a month, Sasuke was quite different from the last time she saw him, his expression was indifferent and depressed.

Just when she was in a daze, Naruto let go of her hand and ran towards Sasuke, "Sasuke!"

Sasuke raised his head to look at Naruto, followed Naruto and glanced at Eri behind him, then retracted his gaze without any response, seemingly not wanting to pay attention to them.

"Ah! Sasuke, you bastard | you actually ignored me!" Naruto had already run to Sasuke and shouted loudly in his ear, but Sasuke was still picking things expressionlessly, not being moved by him at all.

After reacting, Eri tentatively greeted, "...Sasuke, long time no see."

Sasuke handed the money to the boss as if he had never heard of it, then turned around and left.

Naruto froze for a moment, then chased after him, "Sasuke?"

Sasuke finally stopped, frowned and looked at Naruto with dissatisfaction, "You are in the way, the end of the crane."

Naruto immediately became furious, "Bastard, who do you think is the tail of the crane!"

But Sasuke just snorted coldly, and turned his gaze to Eri who was standing behind him who was a little at a loss, "Hey, what did that man say to you that day?"

That day...does it refer to the day the Itachi exterminated the clan?

Eri opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. Sasuke probably hated him, otherwise he wouldn't call him that man.

Seeing that Eri was hesitant to speak, Sasuke's tone was slightly angry, "Aren't you his friend? Why would he do such a thing! Why did he ask Mom and Dad..."

The voice gradually became weaker, Sasuke took a few short breaths, then lowered his head in frustration, "...forget it."

Looking up at her with complicated eyes, Sasuke didn't say anything, turned around and left directly. As a result, facing Sasuke's questioning, Eri couldn't say a word.

"...Sister, Sasuke him..." Naruto looked at Eri dumbfoundedly, and then didn't continue, because Eri looked like he was about to cry.

Time passed so quietly. I don't know if it was because of her influence that Naruto's performance has always been at the tail of the crane, and Sasuke has become a genius that everyone envies just like Itachi back then.

If it weren't for Konoha's abolishment of the system that allows early application for graduation, Sasuke would probably have graduated from school very early, just like Itachi did back then.

Naruto, who was unable to pass the graduation test, did not know when he secretly learned the multi-shadow part|shenjutsu, obtained Iruka's approval, and obtained Konoha Shinobi's forehead protection.

Eri sighed and looked at her rather old forehead protector. Over the past five years, she is still a ninja, her strength has not improved much, only her cooking skills have improved.

Unable to receive any tasks, and to maintain the family's expenses, Eri started to help Itachi's favorite meatball shop four years ago to earn living expenses. It is still as lively there, but the person who likes to eat meatballs is no longer there. Here it is.

Teacher Morijiu would occasionally take her to train, but she didn't seem to have any ninja talent, just like the five attributes of Chakra that Teacher Morijiu once taught her, the attribute she tested was water, but she still only knows how to use it now. The two most basic water escape ninjutsu.

She still remembers Mr. Morihisa holding his forehead and sighing deeply two years ago, "Has Eri considered other goals? Must he become a powerful ninja?"

In fact, Eri has considered this kind of problem countless times. Maybe she is really not suitable to be a ninja. At that time, Itachi said that everyone has their own path, but she has not found her own path so far. .

Speaking of Itachi, after he left Konoha, Eri never heard anything about him, as if he had disappeared from this world.

Sasuke hated Itachi just as she expected, to the point where he wanted to kill him, and even made killing Itachi his goal in life. Although Eri knew this, he couldn't use any reason to persuade him He changed. After all, Sasuke lost all his relatives. His pain must be far greater than his own, even to a degree that he could not imagine.

So every time she saw Sasuke, Eri felt a sense of guilt and dared not look him in the eye.

Probably because she has always regarded herself as Itachi's friend, not only did she not understand Itachi's affairs at all, but in the end she couldn't do anything to help.

Naruto and Sasuke, who successfully became Genin, were actually in the same class. Although they were fighting, they also successfully completed many tasks.Eri became a mission to go out of the village that Naruto hadn't had for so long. Naruto's seventh class quickly received it. According to Naruto's description, it was a C-level task that was as difficult as an A|-level task. They Defeated Momoji Zabuza, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Wuyin Village.

Naruto kept describing how powerful he was, and Eri tilted her head, feeling as if she had heard of this name before, if she had heard of this name, she should be a very famous ninja, and this kind of ninja is often also powerful Powerful, so Kakashi, who is in charge of Naruto's class, must be a very powerful ninja.

But the things that surprised her didn't stop, just like now, Naruto who had just returned home took out a registration form for the Chunin Exam and handed it to her.

"Chunin...you have been a genin for less than a year, right?"

"Sister, Mr. Kakashi recommended us, you should trust me too." Naruto said indifferently with his hands behind his head.

Eri looked hesitantly at the precautions at the bottom. It was written in black and white: The Chunin Exam contains dangerous exams, which may endanger your life. Please consider carefully.

"but……"

"Ah sister, you've become so verbose, it'll be fine!" Naruto gave her a thumbs up, with a confident smile on his face.

Even if you completely believe in you, you will be worried...Eri sighed and returned the registration form to Naruto, patted his head, "Okay, come on."

"That, sister, if I can successfully become a Chunin, I will be one step closer to Hokage!"

... This child is still thinking about that dream.

But compared to the aimless self, Naruto is much more powerful, it seems that it is not impossible to become Hokage or something.

Huh?Since when did you start to have such confidence in Naruto?

But speaking of it, Naruto is indeed always beyond her expectations. Although he is still as strong as the tail of a crane, Eri knows very well that he is actually very hardworking, and his motivation to study is no less than anyone else.

A week later, Naruto returned home with a smile on his face despite being embarrassed, saying that he had passed the first two tests and the third qualifying match, and the final test will be held a month later.

"..." Eri wasn't surprised by the result, "Then, shall we celebrate with ramen tonight?"

"Uh, sorry, sister, Kakashi-sensei found me a new teacher, I'm going to practice, after all, I can't lose to that guy Sasuke." Naruto grinned and showed a bright smile, "When I become Zhong After forbearance, sister will come and help me celebrate!"

Eri was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, seeing Naruto's trotting figure leaving, she suddenly felt a sense of sadness that my family had just grown up.

Just like Itachi back then, it felt like she was getting farther and farther away from her.

No, no, she was the only one who stood still.

Naruto went out early and returned late every day to train hard. After a month, he called Eri to a large open space, saying that he would show Eri the psychic art he had just learned.

"..." Eri silently glanced at the empty surroundings, "Do you need such a big place? What kind of animal did you sign the contract with?"

"Hey, my sister will know it when she sees it, it's very powerful!" Naruto bit his finger and quickly formed a seal, "Spiritualism!"

With a bang, a small toad appeared in the white smoke, and then jumped on top of Naruto's head, "Naruto, what's the matter?"

"Ah! Why is it Ha|Toad who came out!" Naruto squatted down with his head in his arms, wanting to cry, "Where's the boss Toad?"

"Why is my dad someone you can summon casually." Ha|Toadichi snorted, "It's nothing, I'll go back."

"..." Naruto Shiyu looked at it, "Go back."

After Toadichi disappeared, Eri glanced at Naruto, "...so, the psychic beast you signed is Toad."

"Sister! I really summoned a super big toad yesterday, super! Big!" Naruto wanted to open his arms and gesture vigorously, "It's as big as this open space! I didn't lie to you!"

"I trust you," Eri patted Naruto's head, "Naruto never lies, I trust you."

Naruto was stunned, and then lowered his arms, "Actually, I really want to show my sister, now I am really stronger than before."

"I know, because Naruto has been working hard." Eri laughed, "Tomorrow's game, before going to work, I will go to cheer you on, although I can't see the end."

Naruto nodded vigorously, "It's okay, sister, I will never lose to that guy Neji!"

But that being said, she heard that Ningji Hinata is also a rare genius, who graduated a year earlier than Naruto, and graduated No.1 in their class.

If Naruto really wins, it is estimated that many people in the village will be surprised.

When Eri, who got up early the next day, arrived at the venue, the auditorium was already very lively. The third generation grandpa and Kazekage were also there. It is said that many famous names also came to watch the game.

Eri found a place with a good view and sat down, there were seven people standing in the field, Naruto and others had already arrived, but Eri didn't see Sasuke in the queue, she remembered Naruto said that Sasuke also passed Yes, it's not late, is it?

The grandpa of the third generation said some polite words before announcing the official start of the final match, and the first match that followed was between Naruto and Neji. ?
