Under the leadership of Yakushi Kabuto, Captain Yamato, Sai, Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura went to the forest to meet Uchiha Sasuke.
"By the way, this is yours, right? You fell over there at the Tianchi Bridge." Haruno Sakura handed Sai's old picture album.
"Thank you." Sai took it.
Haruno Sakura asked in a deep voice: "Sai, do you have to do that? Carry out Danzo's order?"
Sai said with a fake smile: "Actually, my name is not Sai. Sai was given because of this task. I am no one. I am just the hands and feet of Danzo-sama. I don't exist at all, so no matter what you say to me, it is nothing."
There is no doubt about it.”
"Really?" Haruno Sakura asked, "What about this picture album of yours? Why do you cherish it so much?"
"..." Sai's fake smile disappeared.
Haruno Sakura said: "You are a little sad now. Although I didn't notice how you were doing when you got it just now, I think you must be relieved to be able to get back the memories you and your brother shared."
Zuo Jing asked a little dumbly: "Have you guys seen it?"
Haruno Sakura said: "Yes, I'm sorry, we read this album."
"You and your brother each drew half of this picture album, one starting from the front cover and the other starting from the back cover. What you drew was the scene of your practice, defeating the enemy step by step, so you cherish it very much."
"Because it contains the past of you and your brother, and it is the only thing that can prove the existence of you and your brother, so you have not abandoned your feelings as you said. Even a ninja cannot give up his feelings."
Sai was a little confused and asked: "Why can you prove your existence by holding this picture album?"
Haruno Sakura said: "The reason why you can't let go of this picture album is because you can't let go of your feelings for your brother as a younger brother."
"Do you know why?"
"Because for you, the bond with your brother is very important, and you cannot erase the bond with your brother."
Sai said confusedly: "Is it a bond?"
Captain Yamato said: "Sai, only the middle spread of this picture album is left. Your brother's half has not been completed yet, and the half on your side depicts faceless people."
"I know you are a Gen person, and I also know that you have received special training to suppress your emotions."
Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but interjected: "Suppressing feelings?"
Captain Yamato said: "The training of ninjas in the roots is the same as the bad habits in Kirigakure in the past, and it is even more cruel."
Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura were startled, and thought of a problem together. Sai's brother probably died in Sai's hands, because only one of the two could survive.
Captain Yamato said: "You and your brother, in the end..."
"You're wrong. This was a gift I planned to give to my brother, but just when the album was about to be completed, my brother," said Zuo with a fake smile, "he fell ill and died."
Uzumaki Naruto said: "You lied."
Sai said: "There are many orphans in Genli, and my brother is my brother. He always praises me for my good paintings. The last spread of this album is what I want to show my brother the most."
"But after my brother died, I couldn't think of what I wanted to paint."
"Forget it." Captain Yamato sighed and changed the topic, "Have you seen Sasuke?"
Uzumaki Naruto asked: "Yes, this is the most important thing?"
Haruno Sakura asked: "Is he okay?"
"It should be good." Said Sai, "But he won't go back with you, because even if the three of you join forces, you can't be his opponent."
Uzumaki Naruto said: "I'm not here to fight with him, I'm here to convince him."
Sai asked: "Why must we do this?"
Uzumaki Naruto said: "Although he has no family like me, he is an elite, and I am a low-income person. But I am really happy to be with him. That guy's recognition of me is beyond any recognition of me."
people."
"Sasuke is my friend. It took a lot of effort to establish a precious bond."
Zuo Jing was a little distracted, "Is it just because of this?"
"No matter who the opponent is, if his hand is broken, kick him to death, if his leg is broken, bite him to death, if his neck is broken, stare him to death, if his eyes are gone, curse him to death, even if he is shattered into pieces, I will take Sasuke with me.
go home."
Naruto Uzumaki's joking but serious vow made Sai lose his mind.
Kabuto Yakushi couldn't help but interjected: "It's interesting, but what if the opponent is Sasuke himself?"
Sai said: "Naruto, let me help you. I really want to know what will happen to the bond between you and Sasuke."
"Sakura said that the bond between my brother and I still seems to exist, so as long as I understand the bond between you and Sasuke, I may be able to understand something."
Yakushi Kabuto laughed and said, "It's really funny. You don't know the real Sasuke at all."
Uzumaki Naruto said: "What's so funny? The only ones who don't understand him are you."
Zuo Jing suddenly thought of his brother. He was very motivated in everything he did and refused to admit defeat.
Zuo Jing thought of what to draw, and quickly stopped to open the picture album and start drawing.
Finally, on the middle spread, a pair of brothers, Sai and his brother, holding hands and smiling appeared.
A smile appeared on Sayi's face, "What I have always wanted to show my brother is this painting of these two people's dreams."
Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura confirmed that it was not a fake smile, but a smile from the heart.
"Kabuto, didn't you say you are not allowed to come over and disturb me?"
"Sa-Sasuke!"
"Oh, it's Sakura."
Haruno Sakura heard Uchiha Sasuke's voice and quickly looked for him, and found Uchiha Sasuke sitting on the top of a big tree in the open space in front of him.
Wearing a loose white shirt, revealing a large area of the chest and abdomen, she is very charming.
Yakushi Kabuto smiled and said: "His Royal Highnesses Yamazaki and Meidaizi brought them here, so there is nothing I can do."
"Where are the two of them?"
"They are looking for Lord Orochimaru."
"Still avoid me, don't you want to have a meaningless fight?"
"So, Sasuke, you still need to work hard."
"Okay, let's take these people back."
"Everyone, you have met Sasuke..."
Uzumaki Naruto shouted: "Sasuke, it's me, didn't you see me?"
Uchiha Sasuke said without emotion: "I saw it, I saw it too..."
Captain Yamato said: "Well, I am Yamato who temporarily takes over from Kakashi-senpai. I am ordered to lead Kakashi's class and bring Sasuke back to Konoha."
"Kakashi Ban?" Uchiha Sasuke looked at Sai, "Then you are the one to succeed me? You are really too weak."
Zuo Jing said: "Originally, I wanted to kill you..."
"What!" Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura were shocked.
Sai continued: "Because you will become an excellent body for Orochimaru, but I have changed my mind now. I will bring you back to Konoha, and I will protect the bond with you that Naruto desperately wants to save.
