I looked at Iruka-sensei's anxious face and knew that now was not the time to cause trouble for others, so I said nothing and cooperated by lying on Sasuke's back.

My hands originally wanted to hug his neck out of habit, but then I realized that Sasuke and I were not that close, so I helplessly changed my focus to his shoulders.

In fact, I could sense that not only was I a little nervous, but Sasuke's body was also tense.

I think he was willing to carry me because he felt that Ya and the others hadn't been rescued yet, and he shouldn't cause trouble to others because of his own affairs.

Even though our relationship was so cold, he was willing to temporarily put aside his unhappiness with me. It seemed that he also cared about others and was willing to put himself in a difficult position and endure.

...This is simply unimaginable for the Uchiha Sasuke of later generations.

I wonder what that tyrant would think if he could see myself now and see how gentle I was when I was a child.

That tyrant looms large in my memory, and Sasuke...

Even through his clothes and cloak, I could feel how thin he was.

But when he carried me on his back, his hands firmly supported my knees, which was enough to show that he was very comfortable with it.

Several Chunins came to the rescue and soon they carried three stretchers down the mountain.

Ya and his two companions were lying on it, with a lot of snow on their clothes and hair, even their eyelashes were dyed white. They were pale and unconscious, and it was unknown what was going on.

Shino and Hinata, who were following the Chunin down the mountain, were both stunned when they saw me being carried on Sasuke's back.

But three students were unconscious, so Iruka-sensei didn't waste time and immediately urged us to rush to the exit.

As soon as he started, Sasuke followed closely behind the teacher with me on his back.

I turned around and glanced back, and saw Naruto trying hard to catch up, while Shino and Shikamaru were huddled together, as if they were exchanging information.

I turned my head and looked forward again, only to feel the cold wind as sharp as a knife as I moved forward quickly.

I was wearing goggles so my eyes were not obstructed, but without the mask, my already frostbitten cheeks felt even more numb. I didn't want to make my injuries worse, so I lowered my body and tried to hide the lower half of my face in the collar of Sasuke's cloak.

I followed the direction of his gaze and looked forward. Since I had nothing to say to him, I could only find ways to pass the time myself.

For example, everyone agrees that Sasuke is a great man.

He is a genius, so when I see him as my helper and standing beside him, I naturally feel at ease; if I see him opposite me, as an enemy or a rival, my heart will subconsciously sink and I will feel quite troubled.

It's a pity that such a powerful person is destined to become an enemy. How great it would be if he could always stand on the side of Shikamaru-sama...

Obviously at this moment, he can still stand with us and fight side by side.

Thinking about this, it brings me back to the question - why did Sasuke grow up to be like that in the end?

Lord Orochimaru and Lord Shikamaru did not have the time to tell me too much information. Even if they gave me the scroll, the space was limited and it was impossible to mention everything in detail.

Orochimaru and Shikamaru-sama might think that it is unnecessary for me to know too much and think too much. Extra thinking will only make me more confused.

I just have to make sure Naruto survives to the end, that's all.

However, I am becoming more and more curious about Sasuke.

The cold, hateful aura on him never dissipated, but...

how to say……

I don't think the hatred in his heart at that moment was as strong as it would be later.

What Uchiha Sasuke did in later generations was as if the Uchiha clan was killed by the five major countries together.

Something must have happened... or many things, to deepen his hatred and make him become what he later became.

I wanted to know what happened, but my mind told me that since Orochimaru didn't write it in the scroll, it meant that he and Shikamaru-sama felt that I didn't need to know, or that it wasn't important to know how he became like this.

Before, I didn’t understand how the hatred of genocide and the betrayal of family members shaped Sasuke’s current character. In fact, until now, I still don’t really understand it.

Because I have no relatives, if I have to mention relatives, they would be Lord Shikamaru and others in later generations.

Then the enemy who wants to destroy my clan is Sasuke.

Whenever I think about the fact that I am here and that Lord Shikamaru and the others may have been hurt or killed by Sasuke in the future, my heart starts to palpitate, I break out in cold sweats, and I feel at a loss.

But in my memory, everyone was still fighting tenaciously. I didn't see the scene of them being killed, so I firmly believed that they must still be alive.

So I just felt wary and fearful of Sasuke, but not that kind of gnashing hatred.

As for abandonment...

So far, all I have come into contact with are good people who have been very kind to me.

Lord Orochimaru and Lord Shikamaru reminded me in the scroll not to trust others too much. Even within Konoha, there are dangerous people who must be watched out for, but the world I have come into contact with has always been very gentle.

Sasuke and I live in the same place, but it seems like we are in different worlds.

For example, at this moment, are the scenes and things we see the same?

Even if they are the same, our feelings may not be the same.

This will be the case in the future, and it seems to be the case now as well.

I remembered the Uchiha base I visited three years ago. That place was out of tune with the entire Konoha, just like a scar on a healthy person that would never heal.

But when seeing Uchiha Sasuke, who would think that such a handsome, proud genius is a scar?

Who wouldn’t sigh and lament knowing that such an outstanding person is a scar?

There will definitely be countless people who will come one after another to cure him.

I feel my mind is in a mess and I can't sort out my thoughts.

So I hate getting close to Uchiha Sasuke, because every time I get close to him, many inexplicable thoughts pop up in my mind.

I always couldn't help being curious about him, and then I had to tell myself again and again - since the scroll didn't say it, it didn't matter.

Since Lord Orochimaru and Lord Shikamaru didn't tell me, that means there's no need for me to know.

I can't sympathize with him, like him, or pity him...

because……

I realized that in the future, if I completed my mission and succeeded in making Naruto win, Sasuke might not have a good ending.

There is a possibility that he will be killed directly by Naruto, and even if he survives, his future will probably be to be feared, monitored, or directly imprisoned for the rest of his life.

If he were my friend...if he were my friend...

I will definitely feel pain about this, very, very painful.

I would be sad if he was not living well, and I would be even more sad if he hurt my other friends. If I have to kill him myself, I don't know if I can do it, but will I feel better if I watch Naruto do it?

"Sasuke..."

I couldn't help but call him in a low voice.

"Ok?"

"you……"

Could you have stayed in Konoha forever, been the Uchiha of Konoha forever, and formed Team 7 with Naruto and me, instead of having to start a fierce battle with Naruto that could decide the fate of the ninja world?

But I also know that these words are extremely confusing to Sasuke right now.

I swallowed my words again: "...Nothing."

Sasuke: "..."

He frowned and looked back at me: "If you have something to say, just tell me."

I opened my mouth and said, "I..."

I wanted to ask again, "What do you see now?", but I felt that if I really asked, he would think I was a fool.

I hesitated to speak, and felt Sasuke's pace slow down.

His tone was a little stiff, as if he was not used to saying soft words of concern: "Do you feel any pain?"

"No." I had to bring up another topic temporarily: "Yes... Kakashi showed me his ninja beast before, it was a ninja dog."

Sasuke was a little confused: "So?"

"He said that if I like it, I can sign a contract with a ninja dog like him in the future. But I like cats more... I heard that the Uchiha clan is very close to ninja cats... Does the Uchiha clan have a contract for ninja cats?"

"……Have."

I didn't expect it to be true, and I immediately had something to say, half-seriously and half-fakely surprised, "Then can I... sign a contract on your Ninja Cat Contract?"
