[Ming Zuo] Exchange of positions

The note was still there, and what was written on it was quite ironic.

——I went to carry out the task, Sasuke you take care of yourself.

He squeezed the note hard, as if he could catch someone.

In fact, you can't catch anything!Then it was, and it is now...

Sasuke's face changed, and there was a hint of madness in his eyes.Angrily, he tore the note into pieces and scattered it in the air.The white confetti fluttered down like petals.

There was a sudden burst of pain in his left eye, which made it difficult for him to even stand up, and he had to fall to the ground.The left hand is covering the left eye, and the right hand is pinching the low table fiercely. The pale knuckles are protruding, and the trembling hand has no intention of showing the pain of the owner.

The pain was as if even the bones were pulled out at that moment, but the most painful thing was not the physical pain, but the memories that surfaced in the past.

I don't know how long it took, but the pain slowly subsided like the tide, and what was left was the sand soaked by the tide.Some things, even if it fades slowly, in the end, there will still be something left.

Sasuke lay powerlessly on the tatami, panting heavily, looking at the ceiling with unfocused eyes.Suddenly, he moved his fingers, and the subtle touch seemed to touch something, which was paper scraps.

As if madly, he popped up, looking for the scraps of paper scattered around the room, and began to piece them together.

But is it useful?

The finished product you put together is just scraps of paper, like scattered memories.Whatever you do, that's just the past.

Looking at the shattered paper, Sasuke couldn't help whimpering.It was not crying, but howling like a wounded beast.

When people think that the scarring of the wound means that the wound is healed, in fact, only the injured person knows that the wound has always been there.

Standing at the door, Shikamaru clenched the hand that was about to knock on the door, and he suddenly realized that now is not the best time to come.

He had come to say thank you.If Sasuke hadn't arrived just in time, he might be suffering for the loss of an important person just like that young man at this time.

Although he was not familiar with Sasuke before, but now, he really owes this young man a favor.This favor cannot be easily settled with the word companion.

Another boring task!This kind of boring practice again!It had no effect at all.

Naruto gritted his teeth and couldn't help clenching his fists.

It has always been like this progress, when will I be able to become stronger!

After these days of boring and ineffective cultivation, Naruto became more and more irritable.

"It's really boring here, and there are no beautiful ladies..."

Hearing Jiraiya's boring complaints lying on the side, Naruto finally couldn't help but burst out: "Master, can't you teach me more useful and powerful techniques?!"

Sure enough, he was still so impatient.Jiraiya put down the hand that was covering his face, and then lit the pipe, "Naruto, you must know that all powerful people need to accumulate for a long time before they can gain great strength."

"But..." Naruto lowered his head and clenched his fists.

"Still haven't forgotten revenge?" Ji Laiya slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

Naruto took a step forward and growled, "How could I forget it!"

"How can you defeat an enemy that even Junnosuke can't defeat?" Jiraiya sighed.

"I know, so, I want to become stronger quickly!"

"Naruto, you can beat him to death~" Jilai also joked.

Naruto's eyes flashed a look of 'you're fucking kidding me', and then he said through gritted teeth, "Master, stop joking. I want to defeat the person who killed my uncle with my own hands, this is called revenge!"

"That's a very strict practice, maybe you will die." Jiraiya's expression became serious.

"I won't die!" Naruto smiled, his eyes full of determination, "I haven't personally avenged my uncle, how could I die so easily!"

"I understand." Jiraiya lowered his eyes, showing a relaxed smile, "Then let's go to Mt. Miaogi!"

"Oh!"

"Ah!!!! I'm going to turn into a frog!" Seeing the webbed fingers, Naruto couldn't help screaming, and ran around.

Jiraiya's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he couldn't help roaring: "Didn't you say that in addition to the balance of mental energy and physical energy, you also need to maintain the balance of the natural energy you inhale from the outside world!"

"Ahaha!" Naruto scratched his head and couldn't help showing a smirk, "Master, your words are too complicated!"

Jilai also frowned, and the expression on his face became serious: "Naruto, you have to know that you need to calm down for any cultivation, Naruto, you are too impatient."

"I know." The smile on Naruto's face slowly collapsed.

"Naruto, do you want to retreat?"

"How could it be!" Naruto clenched his fists and retorted, "I will never give up."

"Then," Jiraiya patted Naruto on the head, cheering him up, "Calm down. Don't let those become your burden, the past is just motivation!"

"En!" Naruto nodded vigorously.

Zilai also scratched his head and smiled: "But, that's how I came here at the beginning."

"Really?" Naruto said curiously, widening his eyes.

"That's right, I really troubled you at that time, Fukasaku-sama." Jiraiya turned his head and said to Fukasaku-sama.

"Haha, Naruto's appearance like this can't help but remind me of Ziraiya at that time."

Naruto nodded, and said to himself, "Since Master can do it, I can do it too!" After speaking, he ran to practice hard again.

Pushing open the door and going out, Sasuke noticed Shikamaru waiting outside.Without asking him why he came, Sasuke said directly: "You should know the information about the two Akatsuki members."

This kind of tone is really a headache!Shikamaru sighed: "Sasuke, you don't want to chase those two people, do you?" Although the words were doubtful, the tone was very firm.

"You don't need to know this, just tell me the information." Sasuke said indifferently.

"Tch." Shikamaru couldn't help frowning, he looked at Sasuke carefully, and his heart skipped a beat.This situation is really bad.

Seeing that Shikamaru didn't speak for a while, Sasuke didn't bother to wait any longer, turned around and left.

"Sasuke, have you told Lord Hokage about this kind of thing?" Shikamaru sighed, but chose to follow.

"Going right now."

"So, you want to hunt down and kill those two members of the Akatsuki organization now?" Unexpectedly, it will become more and more difficult this time around.Tsunade is having a very headache now, she couldn't help but glared at Kakashi fiercely.

With a silent drop of cold sweat behind him, Kakashi pulled out a stiff smile and signaled Tsunade with his eyes.Hokage-sama, this is none of my business! ! !

"That Sasuke, you need to know the strength of those two people." Kakashi advised patiently.

Sasuke was not moved by it at all: "It is precisely because of this that we must deal with them while we still know the whereabouts of these two people."

At this time, Shikamaru suddenly said, "Master Hokage, please allow me to go with Sasuke-kun."

As soon as these words came out, Tsunade and Kakashi couldn't help but look sideways.Shikamaru sighed, and then said seriously: "For these two people, I still have some countermeasures."

Seeing the stubbornness in Sasuke's eyes, Tsunade knew he couldn't hold him back, so he reluctantly agreed.But as soon as she opened her mouth, she saw three more people barging in.The three of them were Sakura, Choji, and Ino.

Shikamaru looked at the companion who broke in with some surprise, but heard them say seriously, "If it's for revenge for Teacher Asma, I'm going too!"

"As Sasuke-kun's companion, I'm going too!" Sakura also said.

Seeing this situation, Kakashi was also helpless.He scratched his head and smiled: "Then Hokage-sama, allow me to go too."

Companion...

Sasuke's eyes moved inaudibly, then slowly lowered.
