"Why didn't you kill Sasuke…I think I know the reason!”Naruto slowly leaned against a nearby tree and slowly sat down along the tree trunk. He blinked and looked at Sasuke in confusion, but it was as if he was looking at another person.
" The first time I saw a ferret was when I was six years old. I was running and I didn't expect to run into a ferret…Because of Nine-Tails, I was already used to the expressions of others when they looked at me. I was used to disgust, hatred, and disregard, but... He was the first person to smile at me gently. Later on, I slowly became familiar with him. Whenever I went to the lake, I would almost always meet him. However, it seemed to have been like this from the beginning... I always felt like I was out of place in this world. Everything I saw and the people I saw seemed to be fake…Sometimes, I even wonder if I'm still alive…" She reached out to catch the falling leaves. They were like fire, blood, and eyes that could not be removed." I'm not used to being with others. Most of the time, I'm always alone…" And Weasel, I'm used to his company…He was used to being alone before he met Weasel!”It was as if he had returned to the time when he was alone in an empty room. The suffocating darkness made him want to call out to someone, but no one could. It was empty and dull…like the dark clouds before a storm, dark and heavy…
"Hey... Sasuke, let me tell you! On that day, the Heavenly Weasel that was exterminated once asked me,'If one day you had to choose between your parents and your brother, who would you choose?'Hehe…" Thinking of the past, Naruto was almost drowned in bitterness. He looked at Sasuke, who suddenly raised his head, and slowly continued," Guess how I answered! I said that if I had siblings, I would definitely choose a younger brother or sister because adults had the ability to protect themselves. The reason why older brothers were born first was to protect the younger siblings who were born later…That day, I found out that you were Weasel's younger brother. Because I'm not good at remembering other people's faces or names, I didn't think of you and Weasel together..." At this point, Naruto's voice could not help but lower. The water vapor gradually blurred his eyes, and he tried to focus his gaze on Sasuke." Also, I remember that the ferret once said that he likes Kiba very much, but he loves you more and wants to protect you. He's your brother! That day was also the first time I made an oath to someone else. I just said that I would protect Weasel and protect his brother…Itachi was Sasuke's older brother. Itachi had been using his own methods to protect Sasuke, and he was their older brother. If it was really him, then he had to protect them now. There were many more things he had to protect, but...
He lowered his head weakly and stared blankly at the ground. Whether it was in the past or now, if there was anything that would not change, it would be his powerlessness.
" Sasuke, everyone is the same. Whether it's the dead or the ones left behind…everyone is equally lonely. Before this, it was Itachi who was protecting you, but now... * Cough * * Cough * It's your turn to protect him, cough... Don't let him bear it alone…"
For a moment, everyone looked at Naruto and Sasuke speechlessly. The heavy truth made them not know what to say, what to do, and what to do. What they heard overturned the original impression of Itachi in their hearts, but they knew that they could not intervene. They had no reason to intervene.
The wind gently wiped away the tears on his face. Sasuke also lowered his head. He wanted to escape from something. Was it something called reality? Was it possible that as long as he gently closed his eyes, he would not be able to see the things he did not want to see? Everything that he had that day, everything that he would have tomorrow, no matter what he wanted to live for, he only wanted to become stronger. In order to continue moving forward, the urgent desire that had reignited in the depths of his heart seemed to burn his entire body, and the darkness in his heart began to slowly dissipate…
The nightmare that he could not get rid of was also his. Then, who exactly owed whom this…
It was quiet inside the enchantment. Only the rustling of leaves could be heard. The sky emitted a gentle light, clear and ethereal. It made people want to hear the song of a skylark flying high, just like looking at the blue sea and thinking of a white sail. That tree, a person, sat there stubbornly, bringing with it the golden color of the branches, standing firmly in the wind.
“... * Cough * Cough, cough cough…" A heart-wrenching cough broke the silence, followed by a wave of shaking, rolling up the red leaves in the sky and causing ripples.
The powerful impact attracted everyone's attention. They all looked at Naruto in shock. It was a scene similar to the Valley of Eradication. At this moment, Naruto's body was surrounded by red, black, and blue powers that intertwined to form a small barrier. The power within the barrier was crazily chaotic, and from time to time, ear-piercing sounds could be heard. Sasuke was instantly pushed back more than ten meters by the aftershock of the impact, and several trees around him were cut in half.
"Naruto…Tsunei, come here quickly." Feeling a trace of strangeness, he called out to Okami," Just now, I felt the Nine-tailed chakra for a moment!”
"What, Nine-Tails! What's going on?" "Yes, that's right. It should be the nine-tailed chakra…" I think it might be because Naruto was too emotional just now, but I can't feel anything now. The power in Naruto's body doesn't seem to be Chakra... However, if this continues…" Zirai looked worriedly at Naruto in front of her. She wanted to get closer, but she couldn't. She could only watch helplessly from the side.
Okami also tried to get closer with an anxious expression. His body seemed to be blocked by a thin film and stopped ten steps away from Naruto.
"Master Okate, how is Naruto?”Sakura immediately asked Tsunete when she encountered the same problem.
“... The power is too chaotic. Although it's fine now, it's only a matter of time. Naruto might die..."
"Will die…Then what should he do…Couldn't he think of another way?”
“... The power is too chaotic. If we start from the outside, it will only cause the power to become even more chaotic. Moreover, we can't get close to it now, so I have no choice…" Okami looked at Naruto in front of her. The pendant that slipped out of her clothes was very dazzling. She had lost her lover and brother. Was she going to lose him too? It shouldn't be... She shouldn't have given him that pendant…
He would die! Sasuke, who had just stood up, immediately panicked and stood there in a daze.
