gold and silver rule

and said to him with embarrassment: "...Thank you...because this child likes to eat the cake here the most, so...I really trouble you!"

Naruto was startled, and then scratched his head with his hands in a state of bewilderment: "W-Where...you're welcome."

The young woman smiled, nodded to him, took the child's hand and left.Xiaoling walked bouncingly, but she still didn't forget to turn around and wave to Naruto cheerfully.Naruto stared at them blankly, and after a while, smiled.

The red-haired girl "watched" this scene with a smile, and suddenly clasped her hands together in shock and said, "Ah, my cake!" She hurriedly turned around and entered the store, then remembered something, grabbed the door to keep her balance, and leaned back Sticking his head out, he shouted to Naruto: "Brother, someone is waiting for you in the backyard!"

Naruto came back to his senses: "I see." He turned around, because the people around him who were still staring at him - customers in line and passers-by - were stunned, smiled handsomely, and then entered the store and disappeared Behind that door inside.

What he didn't know was how completely his image had changed in the minds of those who had witnessed the whole process.At this time, he just walked through the room that his sisters used as the living room behind the door, and came to the backyard full of soft and low weeds.

A crow with red eyes watched him silently.

☆, guess

Naruto walked to the side of the crow in silence, sat down cross-legged, and looked up at the sky.

A pink barrier slowly rose around the man and the crow.

The black crow tilted his head and glanced at him. Suddenly, a man's voice sounded: "The bounties you earned in the past three years should all be used for this house."

It was clearly a question, but the affirmation in the tone was beyond doubt.Naruto glanced at the crow, and threw a bombshell in response to the question: "Oshemaru is dead."

On the way back from Sand Hidden Village, Toad, who was sent by him to monitor Orochimaru, received news.The dying Orochimaru was killed by Sasuke Uchiha.At the same time, Zabuzhan also sent a letter from the country of water, introducing the specific situation of several generations of Mizukage in detail.

The crow looked at him again, and there were three rounds of jade slowly turning in his red eyes: "...will you keep your promise?"

This promise naturally refers to the promise not to tell the truth to Sasuke.

"Of course. I always do what I say." Naruto said, his blue eyes looking up to the sky flashed a sly smile where the crow couldn't see.

The crow was silent for a while, as if he had made up his mind, the voice sounded again: "'The only God, for the sake of stability, separates Yin and Yang poles, and the opposite poles interact to give birth to all phenomena." This is what I can read now. Yes, the content on the stone tablet."

Naruto's eyes widened all of a sudden, he straightened his waist and lowered his head to look at the crow, his eyes narrowed slightly because of thinking: "...the only God, Yin and Yang are polarized, everything is omnipresent..."

The voice sounded again: "According to my guess, the only god must be the Sage of the Six Paths who left the stele, and the two poles of yin and yang probably refer to the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan. In the long history, the struggle between these two groups It has been going on and on, and the Uchiha clan is even called the "cursed clan", because the condition for opening higher-level eyes is to lose a dear one..."

"Conversely, the Senju Clan has always been known for being full of vitality and love. It can be said that it is exactly the opposite of the energy of the Uchiha Clan..." Naruto continued, getting a positive nod from the crow.

"Then, these are easy to guess, as for the myriad things..." Naruto looked at the sky again, thinking carefully.

"...Do you know what kind of eyes you need to see the next part?"

"...I was just about to ask you, what will happen to your eyes after you die?"

"You already guessed it, didn't you?"

"So it really is true." Naruto's eyes were burning, "Kaleidoscopic Sharingan is harmful to the body, and excessive use can cause blindness?"

Crow acquiesced.

"So, what happened after your eyes were transplanted to him?"

"Sasuke... can get eternal light."

"Oh? How do you know?"

"Legend has it that Uchiha Madara was also once blind, but he took away his brother's eyes and obtained the harmless Kaleidoscope Sharingan."

"Can those eyes see what's left?"

"If that eye-catching legend is true, then it should be possible." The crow's answer stunned Naruto.After thinking for a while, he said, "Do you think there is any relationship between Samsarayan and Sharingan?"

"...Do you think it's related?"

Facing the doubts of the crow, Naruto smiled but did not answer, and said: "I have another guess, you might as well listen to it..."

Raven looked at him.

"You said before that [Xiao]'s leader has a pair of reincarnation eyes. According to my information, [Xiao] was first established by three people from Yuyin Village, and one of them has a pair of reincarnation eyes. But the strange thing is..." There seemed to be a storm brewing in his eyes, "That man has blood-red hair."

It can be seen from the eyes that the crow is quite shocked.The voice was silent for a while before it rang again: "I have never seen the true face of the leader, so I don't know what he looks like, but if this news comes from Mr. Jiraiya, I think it will be right. From this point of view, the leader is from the Uzumaki clan. people, then those eyes..."

Crow was puzzled.According to the ideas discussed before, if Samsarayan is the final form of Sharingan, what is the Uzumaki Clan?unless……

Seeing that the crow gradually understood, Naruto spoke again: "The things used to collect tailed beasts are called 'heretical golems', and only those with the eyes of reincarnation can summon them. Then we might as well guess that Uchiha Madara possessed them somehow. The reincarnation eye, and for some reason transplanted the eye to the leader Payne, asking him to collect tailed beasts for him."

"Wait... how did you know that thing's name is 'Heretic Golem'?"

"That kind of thing, I have ready-made experts in my stomach to explain it to me. Also, after thinking twice, I decided to tell you one thing."

"?"

"Don't ask me how I know, you just need to know that this is the fact—that masked man is not Uchiha Madara, but Uchiha Obito."

The crow was stunned.Naruto didn't wait for him to digest it, and told him all the information he had collected bit by bit over the past few years, as well as his recent reasoning.

The symbol of the power of the Uchiha clan is Sharingan, and correspondingly, the symbol of the Senju clan is Mutun.Senshou Clan is the only one who owns Mudun, so it is easy to think that Uchiha Madara has merged the power of Senshou somehow, and has the eyes of reincarnation-this interacts with "opposite poles, "Give birth to everything" corresponds to it, because the harmless kaleidoscope can only be obtained by changing eyes from within the Uchiha, and does not require the power of Senshou.The reincarnation eye is the necessary condition for channeling the "heretic golem", and then implements the things recorded on the stone tablet. Therefore, Naruto believes that the reincarnation eye is the final state of the sharingan.

Combining legends and history, Uchiha Madara took the eyes of his younger brother and restored the sight of the blind eyes.Shortly thereafter, he broke with Senshou Zhujian, fought in the Valley of the End, and was defeated in the end.Naruto, combined with the Uchiha brothers around him, believes that the death of Uchiha Madara's younger brother is by no means what Uchiha Madara would like to see, and it is even more unimaginable to be eye-catching.

He made a bold guess, and Uchiha Madara, who got his younger brother's eyes, regretted it too much, and wanted to know what the last content on the stone tablet was.Combined with the behavior of Uchiha Obito later, Naruto affirmed that it was a method that could bring the dead back to life.And the way to put that method into practice is to collect tailed beasts.Because after leaving the village, Uchiha Madara did not make any move to collect tailed beasts, nor did he have any chance to contact Senjujuma, so it can be considered that he did not have the eyes of reincarnation before the duel with Senjuzhujian, and he did not know final content.The time when the first Mizukage of the country of water appeared coincided with the time when Uchiha Madara "death".Before and after the fourth Mizukage came to power, the huge contrast between the young and promising shadow and the cruel "iron blood policy" also appeared after Uchiha Obito's "death".

Therefore, he believes that Uchiha Madara obtained Senshou's "wood escape" power after the battle between Senjujujian, and came to the country of water bordering the country of fire to recuperate and control the first generation of Mizukage.During this period, he must have found a way to integrate the power of the two races, opened the eye of reincarnation, channeled a powerful golem of the heretics in one fell swoop, learned the final content, and immediately decided to take action.But he was too old after all, so he arranged everything before his death, and Obito Uchiha and Payne took over from him to continue his plan.But from this point of view, Uchiha Madara will appear one day, because he wants to watch the resurrection of his favorite brother with his own eyes.

In this way, all the clues are connected.

Maybe a lot of it is wishful thinking, maybe some things don't exist at all.But Naruto believes that, in terms of the urine|nature of the Uchiha clan—especially the brothers—such a shocking second-year guess is completely in line with their character.

No matter what Uchiha Itachi thinks, he just decided so.

Kageko, who was sent by Naruto to pay attention to the situation of Gaara before, felt outside the cave that there is a lot of chakra full of vitality in the "golem of the outside world". According to the nine lamas, it is "ten tails" The drive shell.The Nine Lamas obviously don't want to say more, so Naruto can only come to a conclusion that "collecting all the Nine Tailed Beasts will bring the Ten Tails back to life".

After listening to Naruto's narration, the crow was silent for a long time.After a while, the voice sighed slightly: "On the whole, I don't think there is any contradiction in your speculation, and the rest is sufficient evidence... So, after you figure this out, what are you going to do?"

A trace of sternness flashed in Naruto's eyes: "Of course it is to figure out his ultimate purpose, destroy his plan, and then..." His eyes flashed sharply, as if a deadly ghost from hell, cold and ruthless.

Suddenly, the door opened, and the red-haired girl came over with a plate of three-color meatballs, put it gently in front of the crow, and said with a smile: "Please use it." She turned her head and "looked" at Naruto, in exchange for him Rubbing his head, he giggled.Naruto looked at Naeko's smile and sighed helplessly, but a smile rose in his eyes.Sensing that Naruto's mood had stabilized, Naeko got up and walked back, closing the door.

At this time, the voice sounded, with an imperceptible melancholy: "...What a good girl." Naruto looked over proudly, and when he found that there were only clean bamboo sticks left in the plate, he couldn't help but have black lines all over his head.Laughing and standing up, he brushed the dust off his body, turned his head and wanted to leave, but behind him, Uchiha Itachi's voice sounded again: "Naruto, Sasuke... I'll leave it to you."

The corner of Naruto's mouth twitched, but his voice was extremely solemn: "...ah, leave it to me."——that's strange!My younger brother will go and see for himself!If you have the spare time to take care of that brat, it's better to think about how to cultivate a relationship with Kakashi-sensei...

Calmly, Naruto sighed as he heard the sound of the crow flapping its wings going away.

"Brother..." The red-haired girl appeared again, calling him softly.

Naruto rubbed her head lovingly, and frowned: "Have you thought about it?"

The girl's face was full of determination, and she nodded slowly.

Naruto looked up at the direction where the crow was going away, and muttered to himself: "It's been bad luck for eight lifetimes, it has something to do with those troublesome brothers..." He turned around and passed the girl who was also "looking" over there, It seemed to be telling her, and it seemed to be talking to herself: "...It's just been two days."

After leaving the dessert shop "Uzumi", Naruto walked slowly on the street, thinking about how to solve the biggest thing at this stage-tell Kakashi everything.Suddenly, he stopped in his footsteps, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. The next second, he turned into a hidden alley, and disappeared in a flash of golden light.

Almost at the same time, the torture room in the underground of Konoha Village——

Tsunade was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the blond boy, and the veins on her forehead twitched. She said viciously: "Stinky boy... where did you fly Thunder God? This is the torture room!"

That being said, facing a room full of Konoha's core staff, she didn't have the slightest intention of holding him accountable.The Fifth Hokage, Senju Tsunade, treats Uzumaki Naruto as a younger brother.Moreover, his strength and methods were more or less understood by everyone present.

"Okay, old lady, there are still guests waiting..." Naruto sneered, staring closely at the man who had just been imprisoned in the iron prison, and raising his hand, a barrier of confinement came out.

Tsunade frowned, and sighed: "You really... Xiao Sakura just told me that the Red Sand Scorpion had subordinates working as undercover agents at Orochimaru, and you arrested them behind you... You still used the shadow part|body , aren't you afraid to startle the snake? Let me tell you what's good about you..."

Naruto looked at her pretending to be surprised, and raised his eyebrows: "Ah, didn't I say that? Orochimaru was killed by Sasuke, just the day before yesterday."

For a moment, Tsunade, Nara Shikahisa, Yamanaka Kaiichi, Morino Ibiki, and several Anbe elites in the room were stunned.Strangely, no one questioned the teenager's words.Maybe it was his calm explanation in front of many ninjas just now, maybe it was the determination of his expression at the moment, or maybe it was the power that made people believe him.

The air began to become heavy, but it was broken by Tsunade's iron fist on Naruto's head: "Of course I didn't say that!"

Regardless of Naruto holding his head and grinning, Tsunade's mood was slightly complicated.After all, there is a companionship for most of her life. Even though Orochimaru has done a lot of things that are not good for the village, she still feels a little unspeakable when she hears that such a person is dead.

Shaking his head, Tsunade pushed the complicated thoughts out of his mind.She is Hokage now and has no time to take care of her own mood.Looking up at the man who was firmly trapped by Naruto's barrier, Tsunade looked at them calmly, and said again: "So, what do you want to do by arresting him?"

Naruto put down his hands, with a hint of cunning in his expression: "Well, you can't leave troubles behind. I have sent someone to collect all the materials, and they will be delivered in a short time. The rest of the experimental subjects and so on Just send two ninjas to deal with it, anyway, I know the location. This guy is not simple, he has participated in most of the experimental research of Orochimaru. Moreover, because of my lovely sister, I have some personal grievances with him... ..." He looked at the man, and smiled coldly again, "Are you right, Yaoshidou?"

☆, prepare

The man with silver-gray hair standing in the middle of the golden barrier, although his body was clean, his face was bruised and purple, and there was no good spot.He doesn't wear those eyes, probably lost them during the fight with Naruto.

When Yao Shidou heard Naruto's malicious words, he ignored the pain on his face and pulled out a smile—he might want to smile gently, but it looked hideous anyway—and said: "Mr. Naruto is really considerate. "

"...You did a good job, Naruto. If you search his brain carefully, you will definitely gain a lot." Tsunade spoke, first praised Naruto, and then gave orders to Yamanaka Kaiichi and others with.For a moment, the people who were startled by Naruto's swift action stopped talking.Even if some people were worried about Naruto's ability to handle affairs, no one objected to Tsunade's obvious trust in this Chunin.

Xu Shi lost the cover of his glasses, and Naruto clearly saw a glint of haze flashing through Tou's eyes, which was fleeting.He immediately said: "As for the girl who was taken away by Naruto-kun... think about Oshemaru-sama's character. He won't be interested in those eyes without blood stains."

Naruto's momentum froze, and he charged towards him with a murderous aura, locking him firmly.In an instant, Dou felt as if he had entered hell, his every move was under the control of the other party, he was tightly surrounded by terrifying killing intent, every inch of his skin seemed to be touched by an evil ghost with cold hands... he could be killed at any time Death, even breathing is held in the hands of the other party...

This feeling... life is worse than death.It was like an ant, a fish on a chopping board, nothing could be changed, and he could only helplessly wait for the death sentence to come.This feeling of waiting for death is the most tormenting and can drive people crazy.

"Hmph!" A cold snort full of sarcasm and contempt came, and the murderous aura receded. It seemed that Dou had returned to the world from hell, and all the senses in his body returned to his body in an instant.There were footsteps going away in a daze, he looked up and saw the back of the murderous young man.Only then did he realize that the cold sweat on his body had already wet his clothes, and when the others began to interrogate him, all the muscles in his body were still trembling uncontrollably.

He had no doubt that he had just walked around before the gate of hell.I thought that using Toad to cast Flying Thunder God could restrain me for a moment because he caught me by surprise, but now it seems...

He held his right hand with his left hand, trying to stop the trembling, but found it futile.Despite his best efforts, they were still shaking... the same way he was feeling right now.

The difference in strength doesn't have to be obvious... From the very beginning, the result was doomed.

In Hokage's office, Tsunade grabbed Naruto and asked him in detail how he captured the bag.Sakura has been dazed in a daze since hearing Orochimaru's death. Seeing this, Tsunade cleared his throat: "So, where is Uchiha Sasuke now?"

Sure enough, Sakura suddenly came back to her senses, and looked straight at Naruto.

Naruto rubbed his chin: "Well...yesterday, I took away a girl named 'Xianglin' ​​from the southern stronghold of Orochimaru...and then went to the north. Now there is no news from Toad, So I don't know."

Tsunade pondered for a while: "What are you going to do?"

Sakura's eyes lit up "swish": "Of course I went to him..."

"Of course it's waiting." Naruto suddenly said, interrupting Sakura's words.

Both looked at him.Naruto let them scrutinize him, calmly.

"...You said wait... What are you waiting for? Sasuke's safety is no longer threatened by Orochimaru, now is a good time to bring him back, Naruto!" Sakura excitedly pulled Naruto, violently shaking his shoulders.

"Stop, stop, stop... Hey Sakura!" Naruto was dizzy from the shaking, struggled out of her clutches, and took a few steps back, "Now go and bring him back? Think about it carefully, with Sasuke that guy character, will he come back before completing his revenge?" Moreover, maybe after completing his revenge, he will not come back.A cold light flashed in Naruto's eyes.

He didn't ask Uchiha Itachi's plan, and he didn't know what to arrange after his death.But he will undoubtedly prevent others - especially Naruto and Obito Uchiha - from speaking the truth.It's easy for me to say, anyway, I have another plan; as for Uchiha Obito...

The corner of his mouth raised a strange arc, and Naruto couldn't help making plans secretly.With that guy's hatred for Konoha, maybe he will kill someone with a borrowed knife, let Sasuke be the first bird, and reap the benefits of the fisherman himself; then, or else he will take advantage of Uchiha Itachi's arrangement and take the opportunity...?

The idea is good, but it requires too much preparation... Naruto rubbed the center of his brows, forcing himself to suppress his killing intent.This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, and it is most important to keep an eye on Sasuke's movements at present.

After all, he had to go to the place where they fought in advance...

Naruto was making calculations in his heart, but he didn't notice that Sakura and Tsunade fell into sadness and contemplation respectively because of his words.When he came back to his senses, he realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere.He said with a dry smile: "...Speaking of which, old woman, why haven't you announced the news of Sasuke's defection to the village to the outside world, and then issued an execution order?"

As soon as these words came out, the air in the room changed instantly. Naruto didn't seem to feel it, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and smiled sunnyly: "In the past, the ninjas who defected all printed out photos and information. After saying hello, when we arrived at Sasuke's place... just keep the news and suppress the execution order, isn't that the way to go?"

Tsunade didn't speak, but looked straight into Naruto's eyes.Naruto smiled, and looked at her silently.

Sakura was already wondering if the person in front of her was Naruto, she clenched her fists: "Hey Naruto, what do you mean? Master did this for us, according to your idea, how will he return to the village in the future—"

"——just to make him unable to come back." Naruto lowered his head slightly, smiling slightly.

"...you, what did you say?" Sakura took a step back.

"...Just do as you say, Naruto." Tsunade said suddenly, seeing what Sakura wanted to say, he waved his hand to signal them to go out.Let them solve the juniors' affairs by themselves.She didn't know how Naruto planned to get Sasuke back to the village, but obviously he had an idea, so she believed him—the boy she regarded as her younger brother.Naruto paused, turned around and went out. Seeing this, Sakura immediately followed and stopped Naruto in front of the gate of Hokage Building.

Naruto knew he couldn't fool him, so he said helplessly first, "Sakura, think about it carefully."

"?"

"It is precisely because we have not announced the news of Sasuke's defection for a long time that he can do some troublesome things outside without worry. Because our behavior is tantamount to implying to him: 'If you want to do anything Yes, you can come back anytime, the door of Konoha is always open for you.'”

"But, isn't that our original intention? Isn't that what we thought at the beginning? Let Sasuke come back anytime, and never give up on him!" Sakura shouted excitedly, obviously not agreeing with Naruto's words.

"That's right, that's what we thought, because Sasuke is the most important companion to us; but what about the other people in the village? They are obviously rebellious, did something wrong, but returned to the village Sasuke, will What do you think, how do you do it?" Naruto asked sharply, and Sakura was stunned.

"Tolerance is not only about the feeling, but also the corresponding means. It is not so easy for others to agree with us." Naruto said meaningfully, "We have already experienced the feeling of losing him, so I cherish him very much; on the other hand, if Sasuke, who has been acting recklessly, is 'abandoned' by us, what will happen?"

Sakura's eyes widened suddenly.

Naruto continued to instruct: "Do you understand? Doing this now, on the one hand, is to convince the public, and on the other hand, it is to make him realize his identity—a traitor without help, so that he can Think about the consequences a little bit; there is another aspect—" He elongated his voice, and Sakura asked eagerly: "What is the other aspect?"

"—Now that the connection is severed, he will be able to make amends in the future and come back naturally." Naruto smiled cunningly.

Sakura froze for a moment, realizing Naruto's plan.Seeing that she understood, Naruto laughed and joked: "So, next time we meet, treat him as an enemy and see what he will do... Maybe you will regret it right away, and want to come back crying."

——So, for a brat like Sasuke, it has to be said that a brattier parent like Naruto can manage it.

Sakura was amused by this thought: "Hehe...if only it were that easy." Naruto nodded, waved goodbye to her with a smile, turned and walked towards the hospital.Xiao Ying rolled her eyes, and shouted at his back: "Naruto, you need to work harder for Teacher!"

Seeing the blond-haired boy stagger, the cherry-haired girl turned around with a snicker, and walked in another direction.

His eyes turned to Konoha Hospital.

Since Naruto bid farewell to Sakura, his footsteps began to become a little heavy.He rushed to the hospital slowly, went upstairs slowly, and came to Kakashi's ward slowly, he finally stopped there, hesitating.

He stared at the dark handle of the white door, lost in thought, wondering how Kakashi would react when he knew what kind of person he was.

[People who don't know how to value their companions are even worse than trash! ] This sentence, which I had already memorized, rang in my ears again.Naruto clenched his fists suddenly, his blue eyes filled with bitterness.

He is such a selfish person, he did such a thing as standing by and watching the red-haired boy who trusted him.Ask yourself, if Gaara, whose fate is so similar to his in this life, is like this, then what about people in the same village who are only familiar with each other?

He is not a saint, on the contrary, his body is full of darkness, and his heart is also dark. Except for important people, he can not blink his eyes at the loss of human life. After all, there are countless people who died at his hands.First joined Anbu, he was still alone, and he couldn't even integrate into Mr. Kakashi's team; however, once you live in this world, how can you not take a cloud with you?

In his previous life, he only had that tender lover who was as gentle as jade; in this life, he has had many more one after another.He is happy, but at the same time scared.

The more you value something, the more you fear losing it.Especially, Kakashi who taught him to value his companions.

Therefore, he is used to hiding, and only shows the bright and beautiful side to others.

——What a hypocritical [trash], me.

Naruto stood silently for a long time.He had already thought about cutting himself apart, showing him to the most important people, telling him all the darkness hidden in the dark, and telling him what he had done.Even if it makes him disbelieve and sad, even if it makes him loathe himself.

However, he still had a little bit of luck.Perhaps, it was his words...?

Naruto shook his head and smiled wryly again.I can't think about these things now, and I don't dare to think about them.The higher the expectation, the worse the fall.Because I love him, I want to hide my darkness, I want to take care of everything and protect him; I also think I love him, so I decide to confess and give it a go.

If he is defeated, he will watch silently from then on, protecting him in the dark; if he wins...

Naruto laughed to himself.

We won, let's talk about what happens after we win.

Taking a deep breath, Naruto raised his hand, gently turned the doorknob, and slowly but firmly stepped into the room.

His heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. He lowered his head and closed the door behind him. After a moment of silence, he slowly raised his head and looked in the direction of the hospital bed.

Kakashi-sensei fell asleep.

Realizing this, Naruto suddenly felt powerless.

It seemed as if he had punched the cotton with all his strength, and his chest was stuffy and uncomfortable.If you want to die, just do it... so procrastinating...

After thinking wildly for a while, he walked over quietly.

It took three days to rush back to Konoha from Sand Hidden Village. Although my footsteps were very steady, it was really not suitable for rest... so I am still very tired now.He thought, looking at Kakashi's sleeping face.

The lower half of the face was hidden under the quilt as usual in any hospitalization.With fair and delicate skin, her complexion was still a little pale, but it was no longer a serious problem; the silver-white hair without the restraint of the forehead was a little messy, but it looked as soft as ever.The brows are calm, the eyelashes are long and straight, and they flutter occasionally, and the scar on the left eye does not diminish his beauty in the slightest—at least in Naruto's eyes, Mr. Kakashi's current appearance is extremely beautiful.

A pink barrier rose around the hospital bed. Even though he understood the sound insulation effect of his barrier, Naruto still moved lightly and put the bed next to Kakashi's together. He turned on the bed and leaned against the bed Lu took out the book that he had also given him.

A glance to the lower right corner of the eye reveals Kakashi.Expand the barrier to enclose two people.For a moment, the small space seemed to be isolated from the world, only the breathing of the two remained.

Forgive my last selfishness...just let me and Kakashi-sensei be alone for a while.

Not knowing who he wanted to ask, Naruto thought silently, flipping the pages of the book.

Let me enjoy... this last peace.

Last.

☆, the sun

It was dusk when Kakashi woke up.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and above him was the ceiling dyed orange by the sunset.Hmm, there was a layer of pink stuff before that... enchantment?

All of a sudden, Kakashi woke up quite a bit, and then Kakashi suddenly realized that the surroundings were a little too quiet, so quiet that only the breathing of himself and another person was heard.Almost at the same time, a familiar breath came from the side.His heart was pounding, and he slowly turned his eyes, looking to the left.

It's him.

The boy didn't wear a forehead protector, and his loose blond hair was dyed orange by the sunset, making it look extra soft and warm.He is wearing a white shirt with a simple blood-colored vine on his right chest.The two sleeves are rolled up to the elbow, exposing the lean forearm; the left leg is bent and stands, the right leg is straight, and a half-turned book is leaning on the left knee.He was leaning against the head of the bed, his head tilted slightly to the left, his blue eyes showing a serious look, reading the text in front of him.

From Kakashi's angle, he could just see his sharp side face, his brows slightly frowning inadvertently.

There is a saying that serious men are the most handsome.At this moment, Naruto exudes a clean and focused temperament. In Kakashi's eyes, he seems to be a luminous body, making him reluctant to look away for a moment.

Suddenly, Naruto's eyes glanced to the lower right, the movement was so natural and fast that Kakashi was unprepared, and directly met those blue eyes.For a moment, both of them were stunned.

Naruto first looked away somewhat unnaturally, he coughed, sat up, and at the same time closed the book in his hand with a "snap", and said, "Teacher, you're awake...do you feel uncomfortable?" Time didn't speak, his voice was a little hoarse, but it brought out a bit of sexy and low, and it went round and round to Kakashi's ears, like a feather, tickling his heart.

Kakashi's ears felt a little hot. Hearing Naruto's voice now, he felt his face start to heat up.He cleared his throat: "Ah... I don't feel anything. What are you doing here? Teacher, I'm not weak enough to need your care, am I?"

He said it half-jokingly, alluding to Naruto's pushed-together bed.

However, Naruto pursed his lips and did not take Kakashi's words as usual.Kakashi paid attention to his expression, and suddenly understood.Before rescuing Gaara, something was wrong with him... Now, are you here to confess to him?

Seeing that he was uncomfortable lying down like this, Kakashi tried to sit up with his arms. Naruto immediately sensed his movement, put the book down, moved over and knelt on his bed, passed his right hand under his neck, and embraced him His shoulder helped him sit up, and at the same time took the pillow with his left hand, put it upright, and let Kakashi lean on it.

Inevitably, Kakashi leaned into his chest.A keen sense of smell immediately smells the familiar fragrance of washing powder.

A series of movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, very natural and smooth.But in this way, Kakashi faced Naruto face to face with plain makeup.

Kakashi was extremely grateful that it was dusk, and the sunset glow could help him cover the changes on his face.Gathering his mind, he looked at Naruto.

He sat cross-legged, facing him, with "I have something to say" written all over his face.Still half-joking, Kakashi said, "So, are you going to stay here overnight? Sensei, I still have Jiraiya-sama's new work waiting to be read."

Naruto was taken aback, and forced a smile: "It won't take too long. Kakashi-sensei... I just want to tell you." He looked up into Kakashi's eyes, "I want to tell you —even if you hate me for it.”

Kakashi opened his eyes slightly, and then regained his composure.In my heart, I sighed slightly.

No matter what happens, this is the only thing that will never happen, Naruto.do you understand?

Naruto moved his eyes away, staring at a spot on the snow-white quilt.After hesitating for a while, he spoke: "...for the past three years, I have been collecting information about the [Xiao] organization. I disguised myself as someone else, followed the members of the organization, watched them fight, recorded their combinations and division of labor, Each person's appearance, weapons, tricks, and unique physical strength. If you can't see them, you can go out on your own. Anyway, there are space ninjutsu and Flying Thunder God. If you can't beat them, you can run away. There is no pressure at all.
