[Ming Zuo] Father-daughter journey

They soon arrived at the base camp of Orochimaru in Tanokuni.

Orochimaru was very happy that Sasuke completed the task so quickly, and at the same time expressed his welcome to Asano and his interest in Naruto.

Naruto decided to keep these perverts at arm's length.

Sasuke led Naruto to a room that looked quite spacious, and said to him: "You can live here temporarily, I live next to you, you can call me if you need anything. I'm going to rest, you Take it easy."

Naruto let out an annoyed "Oh" and watched Sasuke leave.

He also hasn't had a good rest for several days in a row, and now is obviously a good opportunity to have a good night's sleep (although beware of Orochimaru), but his mind is like a mess, and he has no sleepiness.

Not to mention that Sasuke's hot and cold attitude made him feel anxious, but the fact that Sasuke already had a daughter made him flinch from Sasuke and dare not express his feelings.

It is undeniable that Maki and Sasuke's looks are too similar, and her personality is very pleasing. It is impossible for Naruto to hate her, but when thinking of her background, Naruto can't help but think-if As he guessed, Maki is the result of Orochimaru's research, so she may be in danger at any time, Sasuke loves her so much, if something happened to her, how sad Sasuke would be; but if she is normal girl, then her mother...

I don't want to continue thinking about it at all!

But he couldn't control his thoughts.

"Sure enough, he's an idiot kid. Why don't you just ask Uchiha's kid about this kind of thing?"

The voice in his consciousness scared Naruto, who was tossing and turning, almost fell off the bed.

"Hey, Nine Lamas, aren't you sleeping? Why did you suddenly appear and startle me?" He immediately came to consciousness and yelled loudly at Nine Tails as a complaint.

Kyuubi rolled his eyes: "Isn't it because your mental activities are too frequent recently, making the old man unable to sleep? And it's all about Uchiha, which made the old man almost dream about Madara again."

"Hey! Jiu Lama, you can actually dream, I said! Do you often dream of Madara? Could it be that you like him? No, no, I remember you said you hate Madara. Ah, could it be Tsundere... "

"Shut up! Be careful that this old man really takes control of your body! Also, stop thinking about Uchiha!"

Naruto: "..." If you don't want Sasuke, can you think about Orochimaru?

When Naruto woke up, the room was dark, but because the snake cave was originally built against the mountain and located in a cave, the room was always dark day and night.So Naruto doesn't know what time it is.

He originally wanted to wake up Sasuke, but thinking that Sasuke hadn't rested for so many days, it was better not to disturb him.

So he walked out of the snake den alone.

It was about midnight, the moonlight was just right, and the earth was covered with a layer of silver light.

As soon as he got out of the cave, he saw the back of a person. The night wind blew his clothes slightly, and he stood there under the moonlight, motionless.

There is always a person in the world who does not need to see with eyes, smell with nose, hear with ears, or sense with chakra. As long as the other party appears in front of him, he can know the identity of the other party.

"Sasuke." Naruto finally walked towards Sasuke's position.

Sasuke turned around, and they stood facing each other. "No more sleep?" he asked.

Naruto shook his head: "I'm full of sleep, I can't fall asleep anyway, so I came out for a walk. Sasuke too?"

Sasuke nodded, humming lightly.

Although the atmosphere was good when the two were quiet at the same time, Naruto didn't like this kind of awkward silence, so he simply sat down on the open space beside Sasuke and started talking.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we sat down and talked like this. The last time we met, and this time, Sasuke, you're always busy."

Seeing that he was about to have a long talk, Sasuke just gave him a slight sideways glance, and finally sat down next to him as if he compromised.

Naruto seemed to be pleased by Sasuke's actions, and he obviously regained his energy. He began to ramble about all kinds of interesting things he experienced after Sasuke left. He didn't deliberately avoid Hinata, but he didn't mention his love with Hinata either. experience.He also consciously brought the topic to Sasuke, asking about Maki—

"However, Sasuke is the most powerful in the same period. Even Shikamaru, who is called the 'winner in life' by everyone, has not been married yet, and you have already become a father. But Maki is really cute, You and Sasuke are completely carved out of the same mold. I really envy her mother, not only has a husband as handsome as Sasuke, but also a daughter as cute as Maki..."

The latter sentence is a bit awkward no matter how it sounds, and that kind of words should come from a girl's mouth, right?

Sasuke tried his best to get this strange thought out of his mind - it must be because he was not thinking about Naruto normally, and even thought too much about what Naruto said.

"Maki's mother..." he replied to Naruto, "If I have to say it, it should be Orochimaru. There is nothing to envy."

Naruto: "..." Σ(дlll)

"Sasuke Orochimaru did something to you, right? When did it happen!" Naruto suddenly grabbed Sasuke's shoulders, shook them vigorously, and then started talking to himself incoherently before Sasuke opened his mouth, "Xiao Maki is about Sasuke was five years old and Sasuke was 20 years old, which means that Sasuke was 15 years old when Maki was born, so what happened to Sasuke when he was 14 years old is all my fault. If I had found Sasuke earlier, Sasuke would not have been hurt..."

Sasuke was stunned by Naruto's painful expression and words that seemed logical but completely incomprehensible for a while, chewing Naruto's words repeatedly, it took a long time to understand Naruto's meaning.

However, after realizing it, he began to feel ashamed for Naruto to say such a thing.

"Idiot." He cursed in a low voice, and broke Naruto's hand holding his shoulder, "Maki was cultivated by Orochimaru with my cells, and it is the same as Asano-sensei's "child" spirit.And she has been less than two years since she was born. "

"Ah?" Now it was Naruto's turn to be confused. After a moment of brain freeze, he immediately understood what Sasuke meant. Thinking of the nonsense he said just now, his face immediately burned, so he had to "hehe "The smirk is trying to fool the past like this.

Sasuke didn't catch Naruto's sarcasm, but went on to say: "Ms. Asano started the research on cell culture six years ago. Well, I went there because I was asked by Orochimaru to assist in the experiment. Base, maybe the previous failed products also have my genes. I don’t know when Orochimaru started this research. When I knew that Maki was almost one year old when she was born, yes The only one among all the test subjects survived, but it was only a failed product that survived completely on drugs, even now she has to take drugs every day, and she doesn’t know how long she can live.”

"The failure of Mr. Asano's works is because he does not have a normal human personality, and his memory is prone to confusion. Once he falls into confusion, he will spontaneously fall into a deep sleep-you should already know this. And the research results of Orochimaru, also It is Maki, although she has an independent personality, she will fall into a deep sleep periodically - although it is for a short period of time, but no one knows if she will just sleep like this... Her shortcomings are much more than Ling more, life is more fragile.”

"It's not so much that I want to save Maki, but that I can't do without her. She is the best gift God gave me, and she is my last family."

It was rare for Naruto to listen to Sasuke quietly without saying a word. The two were silent for a while before he spoke: "So that's why you're going to Ghost Valley?"

Sasuke nodded: "It's also the explanation you wanted to hear before."

"Feel sorry."

Naruto's inexplicable apology made Sasuke a little puzzled, and he looked at him suspiciously.

Naruto went on to say: "I apologize for my wild thinking before, to you, and to Maki-chan."

Probably because Naruto who became serious and apologized about this kind of thing is cute, or maybe because he felt relieved to finally confide the things in his heart. Lingering, let Naruto's heart beat faster involuntarily.

That's how Sasuke should be when he smiles.he thinks.

As if the big stone in his heart had finally fallen, Naruto began to ask about what Sasuke saw and heard during his travels in addition to his own affairs.

They let go of their hearts, and then they talked freely under the night sky like old friends they haven't seen for a long time.

However, compared to Naruto's rambling, like pouring out everything in a basket, Sasuke just echoed Naruto when Naruto paused, and talked about his journey in one sentence, as if he didn't experience any interesting things.

When mentioning the island country where they had a common experience, it is inevitable to mention the bloody incident, and it is also inevitable to mention the cause of the incident-Shinpei Uejima.

For Shinpei, Sasuke just let out a faint sigh.

But Naruto knew that Sasuke didn't even bother to mention his name, not to mention sighing to those who didn't care.

So he asked cautiously: "That kid...is called Shinpei, right? Sasuke, do you like him?"

Sasuke didn't answer, but the long silence was no different from acquiescence, and Naruto felt his heart sinking gradually——

Is he still late in the end?

If he had spoken out when they parted at 17, if he had spoken out when they reunited at 15, if he had spoken out when they had parted at 13...if he had realized his feelings earlier...

It's a pity that there is no if in the world, no matter how powerful space-time ninjutsu can turn back time, he missed Sasuke's first love, the only thing to be thankful for is that the poor boy is no longer there.

Knowing that it is despicable to think like this, what can I do then?Who told them that they were attached to the same person?

"Xinping is a perfect brother." Sasuke, who was silent for a long time, seemed to be considering his words, but he did not hide his affirmation and praise for Xinping, "Although he made irreparable mistakes in the end, he also made my sister who was obliterated by hatred If he is freed, Chunxiang must be proud of him."

Hearing his sweetheart praise his rival in front of him, Naruto felt even more uncomfortable—even if the rival was gone.

This little episode was quickly covered up by Naruto with other topics, and the rest were happy topics. They talked about the past, the present, and the future, and they kept talking about the moon falling and the stars sinking. Naruto's voice became more and more The smaller it is, until it turns into a uniform breathing sound.

Not only Naruto, but even Sasuke was a bit sleepy.

They lay side by side on the ground, and they could see each other's profile just by tilting their heads.

Naruto faced the starry sky, his sky-like eyes were closed, his expression that was always vivid became quiet, and his even and long breathing proved that he was probably fast asleep.

"Naruto?" Sasuke leaned over to Naruto and called his name softly.

Didn't get any response.

Sasuke felt his heart beat faster, as if it was going to jump out of his chest.He made a move that he didn't even dare to think about before.

He leaned closer to Naruto, and the two of them faced each other, with only an inch of difference between their noses. The breaths of both sides were quick and long, blending together, and the warm breath sprinkled on each other's face.

Only this time.

Sasuke consoled himself.

So his head moved down a little bit, and finally touched Naruto's dry lips, the four lips met, and they were just touching.His dark eyes greedily traced every part of Naruto's face, and softly bid farewell to this unspeakable secret love: "Goodbye, Naruto."

He stood on the ground with one hand and was about to get up to leave, but his wrist was suddenly grabbed, because the opponent was Naruto, he couldn't and couldn't guard against it, so he fell straight down and fell on Naruto.

Four eyes facing each other.

Naruto's blue eyes were clear, he stared at Sasuke's dark right eye and the purple reincarnation eye of his left eye, earnestly and firmly: "I like what you said, Sasuke."
