Somewhere in the north of Konoha.

Haki Kakashi and his three men, Sai, Sakura and Kasumi, were following the ninjutsu Parker and tracking in a certain direction.

"Naruto, he should have found Sasuke."

Seeing the atmosphere was particularly quiet, Sai couldn't help but speak.

Since Danzo died, the forbidden tongue seal set on him also disappeared. The state of being cautious in his words in the past was lifted, and Sai was also quietly changing.

Now, he has been learning to communicate with people recently. The formula book for making friends said that in this atmosphere, you must take the initiative to find topics and be active in a not-so-good atmosphere.

The dark pupils stared at Xiang Fu next to her. Xiang Fu didn't seem to hear his words, with a worried look on his face, and I don't know what I was thinking.

“…”

Sai maintained a bit of sincerity and turned his gaze to Sakura, who was leading the way forward.

The girl's short pink hair was blown by the oncoming wind, just like the disorderly cherry blossoms in spring. Sai noticed that Sakura's fists were still tightly clenched, and she was a little nervous.

Maybe she heard him, but she chose to remain silent and did not want to answer.

“…”

Sai forced himself to keep a smile and finally placed his hope on the tall man on the right. Their teacher, Haki Kakashi, was also a former senior from Anbe, so he would not ignore him.

Occasionally, a few rays of fine sunlight shone between the leaves and fell on the fleeting silver hair of the tall man.

His perception was very sharp, and he saw the abnormal gaze beside him, so he turned his head.

The face covered with a mask showed no expression, but the half-tugged eyelids were always lazy.

"Did you say anything, Sai?"

Sai's smiling face froze, and the maintained smile immediately closed.

"nothing……"

When Kakashi turned around, Sai realized that it was difficult to communicate with others. A strong sense of frustration invaded his gradually revived heart.

His eyebrows slightly gathered toward his eyebrows. He didn't quite understand why such a situation occurred, and he would not deal with the embarrassing situation now.

After all, the dating formula book does not mention the possibility of failure.

"Did you be cheated by the book?"

A false smile appeared again on his fair face, and he murmured.

When he walked out of the gap in the forest, his eyes moved towards the sky and looked at the leisurely white clouds. He told himself that at least the sunlight was very warm.

The sun shines on the vast land, and not many people can feel the warmth from it.

People are either immersed in their own world or are plagued by many troubles, and often forget their existence.

Only a very small number of people walking on the edge of darkness can experience its value from their warmth.

On the other hand, the forest that collapsed due to the intersection of Spirenoid and Chidori showed a bald Mediterranean landform.

On the soil that has lost its protection from trees, the sunlight can finally pour down unscrupulously.

The two teenagers faced the enemies coming around, back to back.

The bonds that I wanted to cut off were once again connected by form.

Sasuke, who had made up his mind to walk in the darkness, twitched slightly, sucking the air mixed with the warmth of the sun into his lungs.

The warm feeling began to flow in the cold body. Naruto leaned in from behind, and the heat from his body made the warm flow faster.

Sasuke still couldn't understand why Naruto was treating him like this.

Even though he killed Konoha's senior management, even if he spoke coldly, even if he really wanted to attack Naruto, that guy Naruto still approached him as always, without being indifferent or alienation.

They may have been companions in the same class, or friends who can entrust life and death during the mission, but when they think about it carefully, all of this is Naruto alone.

Naruto of Hatano blocked Bai's attack for him. When Gaara's beast-turned into a threat to his life, Naruto rushed to save him again.

When Itachi appeared and wanted to continue to make him hate in the past, Naruto revealed the truth about Itachi and solved the misunderstanding between the two.

And when he escaped from Konoha, Naruto clearly had the strength to stop him, but let him go.

What happened in the past was like flowing water, and with the warmth became clearer in Sasuke's memory.

And now, at the moment when he was in danger, Naruto appeared again and saved him again.

With this blonde boy of the same age and his former companions and friends, Sasuke's heart was complicated and difficult to understand.

From beginning to end, he had been accepting Naruto's kindness, but from beginning to end, he had always wanted to cut off the bond between the two.

Naruto wanted to pull him back to the world of light, but he had already sunk into the abyss of darkness and could never return to the light.

Can you still go back to Konoha?

The black hair on my forehead swayed with the occasional breeze that passed through the woods. It told Sasuke the answer, obviously not!

Even though Konoha issued a notice that Itachi was a hero, even if Konoha informed all ninja villages that the person who dared to attack Itachi and Sasuke was Konoha's enemy, even if Konoha said that the two of them were welcomed back.

But what I did would not disappear because of Konoha's attitude. Sasuke killed Danzo and also knew the darkness of Konoha.

It is impossible for him to return to Konoha because there is always a hurdle in his heart. His parents, his family, his ethnic group, and his brother were all swallowed up by Konoha's darkness.

Taking a deep breath, Sasuke blinked, and the blood-red hexagonal star Sharingan reflected a bit of a strange light in the sun.

“Now is not the time to think about this!”

What he has to do now is to let his hands be covered with more blood and to destroy all those who attempt to kill Itachi.

His eyes focused on the remaining Musty Ninja Village assassination ninja in front of him, "Naruto, I'll leave it to you later."

"I'll leave it to you later!" Naruto's familiar voice came, with a smile on his face.

Whoosh!

The heat coming from behind was stripped away, and Naruto had already jumped out, dealing with the Cloud Ninja who could absorb Chidori Chakra.

"Then... I will deal with you."

Sasuke's mouth curled, and the focus of his pupils was already on the Mizuna.

"Amaterasu!"

Sasuke can't count the number of times he used Amaterasu these days because there are too many people who want his and Itachi's lives.

Under the eyelids, the state of bleeding that would have been caused by excessive use of pupil surgery disappeared. The strong pain pressed the eyeballs, but Sasuke didn't say a word.

Just letting this pain come to the enemy twice as much. He decided while being glad, and fortunately, that guy Orochimaru changed Itachi's eyes to him.

Otherwise, these eyes must not use Amaterasu so many times!

Blood was filled with eyes, but it could not flow out. A ninja in the fog ninja ahead had a black flame ignited.

"one!"

Sasuke endured the pain and continued to move his target to the next one.

Suddenly, the broken ground under his feet shattered again, and an assassination ninja emerged from it, pinching Khuwu and stabbing him ruthlessly.

"Susanoo!"

Eyes trembled, purple chakra overflowed from the surface of the body, and a blurred purple bone condensed.

bite!

Kyuubi was unable to get close to his body, Sasuke controlled the chakra and formed another hand bone, smashing the assassinated ninja into a bloody meat sauce flower.

The interrupted vision continued, and he continued to look for the next target, "Amaterasu!"

There was not much chakra left in my body and rushed into my eyes. The sunny weather turned dark.

The cold feeling came suddenly, causing Sasuke's body to become stiff.

The numbness and pain were heavy and painful, tormenting him, and finally, Sasuke fell to his face.

"Sasuke, leave the rest to me."

A vague sound came from his ears, and the blonde guy caught his body.
Chapter completed!
