Naruto: First Love

Chapter 402 How Can I Bear to Hurt You
Sasuke paused for a moment and nodded calmly, "You can go back."

He thought that Koko would not be willing to let him go to Orochimaru, but Koko agreed.

Sakura knew he was going to leave, and kept begging him humbly, but he didn't agree.

Sasuke was wondering, why did Xinzi agree to let him go to Orochimaru? Because Xinzi said that he should become stronger and then tell him the secrets of the Uchiha clan?

He already knew who Xinzi was and the relationship between Xinzi and that person. Even though he knew this was the case, he still couldn't help but want to know the truth.

Is the so-called truth a lie told by Shinko to prevent him from taking revenge, or is there really another hidden story? The girl who once appeared in the Uchiha clan became Usami Shinko after leaving the Uchiha clan. She has an unusually good relationship with that person, even better than his girlfriend Izumi. Does it mean that maybe their relationship is closer, and she knows more about Shisui's death and the demise of the Uchiha clan?

"When you meet Naruto next time, don't hurt his feelings too much. The Mangekyō Sharingan doesn't have to be opened by killing the person closest to you." Xinzi warned again with concern.

She was just worried that Sasuke would really cut off all his feelings just because he became stronger, and then he would become a revenge tool who only knew how to kill, which would be unfair to Itachi. Sasuke did not answer again. While it was raining, he slowly walked away and disappeared in the rain and fog.

Xinzi sighed and turned away.

"why did you leave?"

Kakashi, who had just arrived with Puck, was stunned when he saw that Kokoro actually left Naruto under the tree. He wanted to find out what was going on, but in the end he didn't go.

Xinzi is not a ninja now, nor a member of the Anbu, so he can't care so much about it. On the statue of the Valley of the End not far away, there stood a man in a black robe, with red clouds, which was extremely conspicuous.

"He's gone." Xinzi stood beside him and reminded him.

Itachi sighed secretly, turned around, and left the scene with Kokoro.

"There's no one in Konoha worthy of my return now. Can I go with you?" Xinzi pulled his hand playfully, not caring at all whether it was raining heavily or not.

Itachi paused for a moment, then returned to normal, his brows raised slightly, "Where's your shop?"

Xinzi opened a store in Konoha, and she just abandoned it like that?

Xinzi raised her lips proudly: "I asked Tiantian to watch over it for me, and..." Xinzi suddenly blinked and looked at him pitifully, "Business there is not good either, I'm almost out of food..."

Itachi was somewhat amused.

Xinzi's abilities are not weak to begin with, and she also has ninjutsu. Even if she doesn't open a store, she can support herself. How could she not have food?

But when he saw Xinzi crying to him like this, Itachi's heart softened again. Even though he knew that Xinzi was joking and just wanted to go with him, he still surrendered.

Xinzi is his weak spot, how could he bear to see Xinzi unhappy?
Because of Sasuke, he had already let Kokoro stay alone in Konoha for so long and forced her to do things she didn't like to do. How could he deprive Kokoro of her freedom again?

"Don't you have any missions recently?" Xinzi was happy to see him compromise, so she took his hand and asked happily.

Itachi's eyes flickered, "Well, Kisame went to carry out the mission."

In fact, there were some, but they were not very serious tasks and Kisame could handle them alone, so he sneaked out and met Shinko.

Moreover, after this mission, there will be a long vacation, and Itachi plans to spend some time with Kokoro.

I had originally just wanted to use this holiday to investigate 'Ban', but since Kokoro is around, forget it.

"How long will you rest?"

Akatsuki's missions aren't always there, just like Konoha's ninjas, they also have holidays.

It’s just that everyone’s vacation is different. For some people, even when they are on a mission, it feels like they are on vacation, or more like they are training their ninjutsu.

Besides Scorpion, Xiaonan and the leader are the ones who don't like to go outside. They don't like to go outside, even when doing missions.

Kakuzu and Hidan, on the other hand, always liked to go outside to promote their cult and make money, and never liked to stay in the base, so they preferred to do missions and take the opportunity to go around.

Kisame is a relatively calm uncle. He doesn't like to run around, nor does he like to stay in the base and go with the flow.

Itachi meets with Kokoro almost every month, so it is naturally impossible for him to stay in the base all the time.

"Two months." Itachi touched her head and took her towards the Land of Hot Springs.

In fact, it is only one month, but during this month, all the tasks they have to do are given to Kisame. He believes that Kisame can complete the task within one month.

Next month will be their time to rest.

During the rest time, Xinzi naturally couldn't take Kisame with him, so he threw the task to Kisame and left to find Xinzi.

What he didn't expect was that he was lucky enough to come to Xinzi when Sasuke defected. Itachi had heard Xinzi say that she would tell Sasuke the truth, so he was not too worried about Sasuke going to Orochimaru.

It's a rare opportunity to have a holiday and relax, so naturally he wants to reward himself well.

"Why does it take so long? Is Payne so kind?" Xinzi didn't quite believe it.

Payne exploits people whenever he can, and he seems to be looking forward to the day of reform and opening up as soon as possible.

In his words, the ninja world needs a change.

Peace will come - of course it is impossible.

"Use these two years to confirm the whereabouts of the tailed beasts. After two years, we will officially start the operation."

Koko nodded, "Yes, I've already told Sasuke that he has two years to get stronger. After two years, we'll tell him the truth."

But whether Sasuke would listen, Xinzi was not sure.

After all, the stone has been covered for so many years, so it should be warm, right? With Naruto, I believe Sasuke will not come to trouble Itachi again, right? Even if he wants to, she will make him retreat.

"Sasuke should be safe with Orochimaru." Itachi said uncertainly.

Seeing his worried look, Xinzi couldn't help but pull his clothes and said unhappily, "He's not a child anymore! When you were 12 years old, you were already a member of the Anbu. Are you still worried about him?"

Itachi looked at her cute look and curled his lips, "Yeah, yes, he has grown up, and you have grown up too."

Xinzi's face turned slightly red. It sounded as if she had never grown up before when she said this.

"By the way, I heard Sasuke keep saying that Uchiha Itachi killed the entire Uchiha clan and even spared his girlfriend."

Xinzi's words were sour.

Itachi's heart stagnated. Every time he talked about Izumi, he felt uncomfortable.

Because Xinzi is the genuine one, but only she herself knows who she is. No one in the Uchiha clan, whether dead or alive, knows who she is.

After a long time, Itachi sighed and disappeared in the rain and mist: "How can I bear to hurt you..."
