Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

It's really cold tonight; it's probably the coldest day of this autumn.

Kurenai sat kneeling on the ground, her arms still in an embracing position. In fact, she hadn't hugged anything; Kaze was lying on her knees. Perhaps she had hugged him at first, but a child's strength wasn't enough for her to hold him for long.

The bloodstains on her face were not ugly; instead, they gave her a bewitching beauty. She was born a beauty, and her ruby ​​eyes were her pride, but now they were not bright at all.

She seemed to sense something, and turned her head blankly, like a wound-up toy.

She saw it.

A pair of jet-black eyes slowly turned crimson and desolate, and a jet-black magatama appeared around the pupil, spinning around the iris.

One tomoe, Sharingan.

The Uchiha clan had hoped for years that Uchiha Sora would awaken the Sharingan. In their minds, to become a future leader, one needed at least three tomoe, since the Sharingan was the symbol of the Uchiha clan.

After years of fruitless pursuit, they gradually gave up, because even without awakening the Sharingan, Uchiha Sora was still the strongest young man in the Uchiha clan; he had won over the clan elders with his strength.

For the Uchiha, not having the Sharingan was actually a great thing, as it meant he was very happy. In times of war, being able to survive was a good thing, let alone being able to live happily.

As for Uchiha Sora, he gained immense strength through the system. He once dreamed that one day the system would reward him with a pair of Sharingan. He didn't want to lose anything, but he did want to possess the cool Sharingan.

Even now, the system still hasn't rewarded him with the Sharingan, but tonight, he awakened the Sharingan on his own initiative, at the cost of... his only friend in the Anbu.

Kurenai stared blankly into those alluring eyes, then suddenly shivered. The blankness in her eyes slowly faded, replaced by deep worry. She pursed her lips and whispered, "Sora... he saved me."

Half an hour ago,

Uzuki Kazunari fought Pakura. At first, Uzuki Kazunari was able to put up a fight.

However, as time went by, he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. Although he had some strength that could rival that of a special Jonin, he was still somewhat inferior to a true Jonin like Pakula, not to mention that Pakula was a Jonin with a bloodline limit.

The reason why Kaze was able to hold out for so long was entirely due to her more than ten years of experience in the Dark Division. Every attack and defense was perfectly timed, allowing her to make the greatest use of her smallest size.

After a prolonged and fruitless battle, Pakura grew impatient and finally turned her attention to Kurenai and the other two. She no longer wanted to waste time on Kaze, and planned to kill Kurenai and the other two young people and then run away.

If the younger generation is killed, Konoha will have no future.

So, she created distance between herself and Uzuki Kazunari with a single move and charged towards Yuhi Kurenai! To her, this little girl who knew illusion magic was the most troublesome.

In the wind of Uzuki, he recognized Kurenai Yuhi. After all, when Uchiha Sora was in the hospital, this little girl often came to visit him, and over time they got to know each other.

Although he was wearing a mask and Kurenai Yuhi didn't recognize him, he couldn't just stand by and watch Pakura kill Kurenai Yuhi.

……

"Why, why?"

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. Kurenai Yuhi stared blankly at Kazunari Uzuki, who had shielded her from the fatal blow, her eyes filled with confusion.

In that attack, Pakura was determined to kill. She couldn't dodge it. At the critical moment, Uzuki Kazunari used her swordsmanship to cleave through the attack, while he... was directly pierced through the heart by the next kunai.

With a muffled groan, Uzuki Kaze drew a perfect arc with his sword, and the terrifying burst of energy struck Pakula directly in the abdomen!

The latter turned pale and decisively gave up on killing Yuhi and the others. She turned and ran away. She could tell that Uzuki Kazunari was doomed. Although she hadn't killed any of the Konoha juniors, killing Uzuki Kazunari, an elite member of the Anbu, was not a loss for her. What was more important for her was to find a place to heal her wounds.

Kurenai and the others were powerless to stop Pakula from leaving.

"Why, why did you save me..." Kurenai Yuhi asked, her face pale and her voice trembling.

Through the mask, Uzuki Kazunari looked at the panicked face in front of her and chuckled softly, "Because, a certain little guy would be very sad if he saw your corpse."

Kurenai couldn't hear what he was saying, but she could feel the life force in her arms rapidly and irreversibly draining away.

"How...how can I save you?" She was panicked, extremely panicked, and couldn't breathe.

Kurenai Yuhi is skilled in illusion magic, but knows nothing about healing magic. In Team 8, no one knows healing magic!

Uzuki Kaze slowly reached out and pressed his head against Yuhi Kurenai's forehead. His blood-stained hand gently rested on her cheek. At this distance, Yuhi Kurenai could clearly see the depth in the man's eyes.

She suddenly realized that this man had no will to live; he wanted to die!

"If I remember correctly, your name is Kurenai, right? You're such a beautiful girl..." Uzuki Kaze said softly, her voice seemingly carried away by the wind.

Kurenai's pupils dilated.

"If possible, please take good care of Sora..."

Thump, the mask slipped off, and the man's eyes completely lost their sense of reason...

The corners of his mouth were always turned up, because he had been eagerly anticipating this day!

Kurenai Yuhi also recognized the man.

His name is Maoyue Fengzhong.

#

Uchiha Sora didn't know how he had received the body from Kurenai Yuhi. He looked down at the man's peaceful face.

He suddenly laughed. He knew, he had known all along. This man, who had lived in the shadows for more than ten years, had long since had enough of life.

With his parents dead, his younger brother dying young, and his accomplices dying one after another, he was left all alone and had long wanted to die.

You can't truly understand others if you haven't experienced the same pain.

Uchiha Sora couldn't understand why Uzuki Kazunari sought suicide, and Uzuki Kazunari hoped he would never understand.

"A year...we've been together for a year." Uchiha Sora murmured softly. "In this year, you've taken care of me a lot. Heh, even though ANBU members can't let their emotions get the better of them."

Uzuki Kaze treats him as her deceased younger brother, but he also regards Uzuki Kaze as his half-brother.

He slowly picked up the broken fox mask from the ground, and with a slight pressure of his fingers, the mask shattered.

This smiling fox mask is a symbol of Uzuki Kazunari's time in the Anbu; he felt that Uzuki Kazunari should be freed from her Anbu identity after her death.

"I'm sorry, I didn't bring you flowers this time."

"Next time, I definitely will."

Two nights ago, the moon was very full.

That day, a man hoped that the boy would bring him a bouquet of flowers the next time they met.

That day, the boy thought it was too cloying for two men to give flowers.

"Sora, bring me a bouquet of flowers next time we meet."

"No, that's too cloying."

"You will."
