Naruto: All depends on Kyuubi C

"Naruto, why don't you come with us?"

The people from the caravan were helping several Uchiha children clean up the puppets.

As if she was used to the other party's occasional frustrations, Sara calmly took some gifts from the caravan to appease the other party, and then asked Naruto.

"It's not urgent. In fact, I'm not the protagonist this time. It's been so long since Sasuke met his clan members again. He definitely needs some private time, so I won't disturb him yet."

Naruto looked at Taro Uchiha's unyielding look in front of him, and felt that he seemed somewhat similar to Konohamaru.

He stepped forward and touched his head, and asked with a smile: "Can you tell me more specifically about how you talk about the Uchiha outside? I can help you fix the puppet together!"

On the other side, Sasuke was already walking inside alone.

This was once the relic of the ancient Loulan Kingdom. Occasionally, you can see extremely rigorous and precise artistic patterns on the towering towers and walls, but they have been destroyed to the point where only part of the artistic patterns are visible. You can still vaguely see how glorious Loulan was in the past.

But now it has become the residence of survivors.

Sasuke was still confused at first, why no adults came over even though the noise caused by the children just now was not a small one.

However, when he walked into a place that looked like a street and just took a look, he understood.

There were not as many tribesmen living here as he imagined. Except for a few elderly-looking old people sitting at the door and looking at him as a stranger, there were no other young people anywhere.

Most of the old people here are elderly. Even if the person in front of them looks a little familiar, it is difficult to recognize who he is.

[Were the only Uchiha people who survived back then were the old, weak, women and children?Or is there something else going on? 】

Sasuke's heart sank.

The houses renovated from ruins along the way are all marked with the emblem of the Uchiha clan, proving that they have not forgotten the glory of their family.

But even calling the houses renovated from the ruins "simple" is an exaggeration.

At this moment, what Sasuke saw no longer corresponded to the Uchiha clan he remembered as being glorious in Konoha.

The houses are even slightly separated from each other, and everyone does not live together as a group.

Instead, there are a group of houses that were obviously built later. The architectural style is somewhat similar to the Uchiha clan houses in Konoha before. When they are connected together, they look much more normal, but these houses are far away from the ruins here.

Sasuke went over to check and found that no one was living in the houses that were built later, but it was still possible to see that someone lived in a few houses.

He returned to the previous street, looking at the occasional elderly people standing at the door and some children poking their heads at home, trying to recognize a few familiar faces in his memory.

But unfortunately, most of the people Sasuke knew when he was a child were the neighbors around his home and his parents' subordinates who occasionally interacted with him.

But those people have long since become the dead souls of Uchiha Itachi.

There is no one he knows among the Uchiha here.

"Hello......"

Sasuke mustered up the courage to try to communicate with them.

But under the other person's slightly wary look when looking at strangers, he finally just put away his words and continued to walk forward in silence.

Sasuke became more and more disappointed, and he couldn't help but begin to wonder if he actually didn't care about his own people.

Because I have been looking forward to meeting these people for so long.

Instead, he felt a strange flatness in his heart. There were no emotions such as happiness, sadness, joy, or any other emotions that he had imagined.

Even though he knew that they were the surviving Uchiha clan, he seemed to be just looking at a group of strangers with the same surname "Uchiha".

He even felt a little bit of restraint and depression, and the further he walked, the more so.

It seemed as if there was a voice in his heart telling him: "Don't stay here. You are just imagining the once glorious Uchiha clan. You can't even sympathize with them after they have fallen into decline. In fact, the clan members here have never been like you." Any relationship.”

This thought frightened Sasuke——

[Am I actually the same as that guy Uchiha Itachi...]

Suddenly, Sasuke stopped when he heard a conversation and couldn't help but look over there.

"Auntie, you are not in good health. In fact, the main reason is that you don't want to go out for a walk. Although the scenery here is not very good, you will still get bored if you stay at home. Remember the nutritional supplements I brought you this time Take it, it’s more effective than ordinary medicine!”

"Hey, chief, please don't always worry about me, an old woman. I'm of no use. You really don't need to come here every time..."

But before she could finish speaking, looking at Uchiha Izumi's sincere eyes and dimple-like smile, she couldn't continue.

He just sighed: "Okay, okay, I'm going to walk around a little more now, and also go there to have a look. Chief, you can go back too."

"Okay, then I will also let those children come to your place more often and move around more. It is better to watch the children than to stay alone, right?"

Hearing the child, the old man's eyes obviously became a little brighter and he nodded.

After comforting the old man who had been sick recently, Izumi Uchiha watched the other person walk away on crutches.

She did not look back at Sasuke who was standing behind her, but put away her smile and said, "How is it? Is it very different from what you imagined?"

From Sasuke's perspective at this time, although he could only see her tall back and black hair, he still realized her identity——

The sister who was once very gentle in her memory is also the real leader of the Uchiha clan mentioned by Queen Sara!

[It was she who really shouldered the burden of the Uchiha family when the Uchiha family was completely destroyed. 】

[Unlike the self-righteous self who hides in Konoha, she is Uchiha's...]

"Chief Quan."

However, Izumi was stunned when she heard Sasuke call her this way. She turned around, looking very surprised.

However, she could only hear one more sentence: "Thank you for your hard work these years, Chief Quan."

Izumi blinked and looked at the figure in front of her whose face was so blurry that she couldn't see her face clearly. She didn't show the smile she just showed to the old man, but instead let out a sigh: "You have grown up, Uchiha Sasuke."

There was no concealment of unfamiliarity in her tone, which even made Sasuke vaguely feel that she was showing this emotion on purpose.

After all, for the Uchiha clan at this moment, the son of the former clan leader and the brother of the murderer of the clan is completely an uninvited guest...

Sasuke, who has a lot of inner drama, doesn't even know how to speak, but Izumi seems to know what he wants to know:

"Not all the people who survived are here. In addition to children and the elderly, there are still some young people."

"Then...have they left?"

Sasuke could almost imagine the scene. After the genocide, the desperate old man gave up hope and was willing to die alone in such a place.

But the young people were not reconciled. They also wanted to take revenge on Uchiha Itachi.

Of course, the target of revenge is not only Uchiha Itachi, but also himself, Uchiha Itachi's younger brother.

Uchiha Sasuke, who has been shamelessly living in Konoha but has not done anything for them, should also be punished...

"Of course I left. If I don't go out to work early in the morning, how can I retire here?"

"I think so, they must also...wait? Go to work?"
