Naruto: Fox and Cat

Naruto and his friends over there.

Naruto and Sasuke have never been to the Kingdom of Water. Fortunately, the Mist Ninja Village is quite easy to find. What's more, the Sakura Fall clan is a big family, and almost everyone knows about the family head's birthday banquet.So they set foot on the road to the Sakura Clan's house before Kakashi was found.

Although Kakashi, who was following closely behind, knew their destination, his speed was still much slower because he had to take care of Sakura.Moreover, even though he originally planned to entrust Sakura to the hotel to take care of him, the pink-haired girl insisted on coming with him. After all, the two who ran away were also his companions.

Of course Kakashi didn't agree and left her after entrusting her to the owner of the hotel. As a result, Sakura followed him. In desperation, he had no choice but to take her with him. After all, he couldn't waste time here.

The sky has begun to get dark, and only some of the afterglow of the setting sun is still struggling, while the moon has begun to rise, and the round moon dazzles and occupies its own territory.

The Yingluo clan's house is surrounded by forests and hills that stretch for hundreds of miles, interspersed with countless rivers.However, there was only one wide road winding through the forest, and then pointed to the main entrance of the Yingluo clan's house.

The surrounding slightly gloomy forest was very quiet, with only the occasional footsteps and vague breathing sounds of Naruto and Sasuke, and the road seemed to have no end, and it was so crooked that it was impossible to see where the end was.

The warm glow of the setting sun completely disappeared on the horizon, and the night with a sparse moon and stars looked beautiful.

The two of them, whose physical strength was almost exhausted, stopped temporarily and decided to take a rest. After all, they had almost been on the road for a day and a night, and they were almost overtaken by Kakashi several times.

Naruto sat on the ground and gasped, "Why is this road so long?"

Sasuke wiped the sweat from his face, calmed down and looked at the lush forest around him, "And this is too strange, why is the Sakuraro family house in a place like this? Don't those people say that the Sakuraro family is a famous family?"

"Indeed, something is very wrong here." Naruto also looked at the surrounding forest, and then looked ahead to the road that disappeared into the forest.

Suddenly, it seemed as if colorful fireworks were rising from the horizon, and bright flowers bloomed in the blue night sky. In just a few seconds, they withered and were replaced by those who came after them.

You can also see the large-scale fireworks from here, and you can even hear the faint sound of the fireworks being set off.The beautiful fireworks lit up the sky, and the light and darkness made people a little uneasy.

"Fireworks." Naruto raised his head blankly, and then felt relieved, "Great, it seems like it's just an ordinary birthday party. In this case, Feng will be safe."

"" Sasuke looked at those gorgeous fireworks, frowned slightly and listened to the discordant sounds that began to appear. After carefully identifying them, his face darkened, "That's the sound of an explosion."

"What?" Naruto's heart was raised again after he finally put it down. After pricking up his ears and listening carefully, he heard the sound of an explosion, and it became more and more obvious.

The number of fireworks in the sky began to decrease significantly, but the explosions continued to sound, and even became more and more intense. The sky was still bright, but the brightness was no longer brought by the fireworks, but by the light of the fire. .

Looking at the increasingly brighter fire, Sasuke raised his eyebrows slightly, "It seems that this birthday banquet is really big enough."

"We don't have time to joke now. We have to get over quickly." The continuous explosions and increasing flames destroyed his last bit of peace of mind, and tension and worry began to fill his heart.

Even though the brighter fire seemed to be right in front of them, even though they had tried every means to shorten the distance, it still took them nearly half an hour to reach the main entrance of Yingluofeng Mansion.

The house located at the foot of the mountain was completely immersed in flames. The raging flames occupied every corner of the house like a devil, baring its teeth and claws to prevent anyone from approaching.Burnt houses occasionally collapsed, making dull sounds when they were hit by the flames, and there were also faint explosions from time to time.

Naruto and Sasuke did not appear openly at the main entrance, just because there were many injured people nearby, many of whom were wearing ninja costumes. However, strangely, they seemed to be worried about Sakura in the raging fire. Luozhaiyuan turned a blind eye and was discussing something in a low voice.

Many people were lying on the ground wailing, not only because of burns, but also because of poisoning.There is also a river passing by not far from the main entrance of Yingluofeng Mansion. If those water-type ninjas want to put out the fire, it will not be difficult at all.Unfortunately, they wanted to use their chakra for something more rewarding.

At the very least, it would be useless even if the fire was put out in the house that was about to burn to ashes, since its owners had all been driven away.

There is also a signboard of the Yingluo clan hanging on the archway at the main entrance. Even in the flames, the two characters "Yingluo" with flying dragons and phoenixes can still be seen as ordinary and unrestrained. Moreover, even if it is constantly being burned by the raging flames, it is still persisting silently. Standing, as if upholding the dignity of the Yingluo clan.

Naruto and Sasuke hid in the thick bushes in the forest and looked out cautiously.Naruto originally wanted to rush directly into the fire, but luckily Sasuke stopped him. After all, it was hard to imagine that there were still people alive under such a fire.

Naruto pursed his lips tightly and looked at the house in the sea of ​​fire. When his eyes moved to the burned plaque, he felt his eyes burned even more.If he hadn't been held down tightly by Sasuke, he would have rushed inside to find someone.

What happened to Feng's family? Didn't they say today was a birthday banquet? Why was the entire family burned down? And why did those ninjas not save them, but kept talking there, as if they were the culprits?

Although Sasuke had already guessed most of it when he saw the fire, he didn't expect that he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.A well-known family was destroyed by fire, and no one even came to help.

Looking at the crowd at the gate with dark eyes, he could see their seriousness, but that seriousness was like someone who was about to get something important but ran away, mixed with a little regret and solemnity.

There are so many mysteries surrounding this matter that even now we don’t even know whether it is true or false.

Sasuke looked at the ninjas who were ready to take action, and lowered his voice and said to Naruto, "Naruto, Feng and the others must have retreated in a planned way, otherwise those people wouldn't have that expression on their faces. Let's start now Follow her carefully and find people from Feng and her family first. If they are from the same family, they might know which direction she went."

Naruto slowly loosened his clenched fists, and then nodded slowly. Just when he was about to leave, Sasuke pressed his head hard to the ground, and at the same time, he also warned him vigilantly, "Don't talk."

Naruto suppressed the trace of doubt and squinted his eyes slightly to see three ninjas rushing in their direction quickly, and he also heard the vague conversation between them:

"What to do if everyone is gone?"

"Tear off the coat of arms and kill him?"

"It's useless to kill and keep"

"The key point is Yue Ping who troubles the dead"

Only a few key words could be heard in the few seconds of conversation, and the ninjas did not notice Naruto and Sasuke hiding there and left quickly.

The people who were originally at the gate also began to leave one after another, and those who were originally injured were transported out for treatment. After all, they did not bring medical ninjas out this time.

When the voices of those people could no longer be heard at all, Naruto asked in a low voice, "What did they mean by what they just said?"

"Probably the Sakura Fall clan has the emblem that those people want, so those people have to peel it off and kill it. And the key target is the person named Yue Ming, but he is protected by a troublesome dead soldier." Sasuke tried his best He quickly connected those key words into one sentence, but he still hesitated a little, "Just listening to their words probably means this."

After a pause, he remembered the first sentence and added, "However, they seemed to have said just now that the people of the Yingluo clan are still alive. Feng and the others have already left."

"It's great that Feng and the others have left." Naruto immediately cheered up. Remembering that the purpose of those people was to hunt down the Sakura Clan, he immediately stood up and prepared to chase those people. "Feng is in danger. Just hurry up and catch up."ok composition network.okzuowenxs.

But before he could run a few steps, he bumped into someone. He was bounced back hard and sat on the ground. "It hurts so much."

Sasuke almost immediately took out his shuriken, but found that standing there was Kakashi with a dark face, although only his right eye was exposed.

"Who are you going after, Naruto, haven't you made enough trouble? Do you know what the consequences of this will be?" Kakashi said in a deep voice, with a rare sternness in his eyes.After all, if this matter had been a little careless, these two guys would have died on the way.

"Fuu is in danger, Kakashi-sensei," Naruto excitedly pointed at the house in the blazing flames and said in a panic, "Look at her house, it's all burned to ashes, maybe Fuu was also injured. ah"

"Why is this happening?" Sakura didn't expect to see such a scene, and she covered her mouth tightly not knowing what to say.She originally thought it was just an ordinary birthday party, why was this happening?

"" Kakashi looked at the burning house, then sighed helplessly and said to Naruto who looked determined, "Naruto, sometimes things are like this. That's why Miss Feng and the others didn't If I tell you anything, I plan to take you back directly."

"Then just look at me stupidly waiting for Kaze and the others to come back and continue living in Konoha Village, because you also know that she will most likely not come back, and like everyone else, you think I will soon forget." Naruto Clenching his fists tightly, he raised his head suddenly and shouted, "I am indeed still a kid, but she is very important to me. Why should I drive away the only person who is good to me?"

"" Kakashi suddenly opened his eyes wide. This was the first time he saw Naruto showing such a negative and desperate emotion.Just because whenever he saw this student, he only saw him struggling, optimistic and positive, but he never knew that he would also have those despairs.

Kakashi frowned and looked at the excited Naruto thoughtfully. Is it because he has suffered from indifference since he was a child that he is so obsessed with the first touch of warmth? And Sakura Luofeng is indeed the kind of person who is easy for people to treat. Did she have a crush on the person, which directly caused Naruto to be unable to get out after he stepped in?

"Naruto", Sakura was also worried when she saw Naruto like this, because it was the first time she saw someone who always smiled brightly and cheerfully show hatred.And this is all Sakura Luofeng

Sasuke looked at them, suddenly snorted, and said disdainfully, "Tch, it's true that he's the idiot behind the wheel."

"", Naruto stared at him fiercely, with anger on his face.

Sasuke stared back at him unwillingly, and spoke in a deep voice, "If it is really so important to you, then use your hands and everything to hold it tightly. It doesn't take any effort at all." You pay, then you resent others for taking away your treasure. This just shows your cowardice."

"Sasuke-kun", seeing him like this, Sakura couldn't help but tighten her clothes in worry.

Sasuke looked down at his hands, slowly clasped them and spoke coldly, his words seemed to be speaking to Naruto, but they also seemed to remind himself, "In this world, only the strong will always stand." Over there. Your own things always need to be fought for with your own hands. What others give you is always someone else's own journey, and sooner or later it will go away on its own."

"" Naruto had calmed down a lot. He looked at the house in the flames in the distance, then looked down at his hands, and then slowly clenched them.

Yes, ever since I was young, I have always worked hard to get what I want.

Kakashi frowned slightly and looked at Sasuke, then at Naruto. It felt like the latter had learned something terrible from the former.

"Ah" Sakura suddenly said in surprise, and then pointed to the main entrance of the Yingluo Mansion, "There seems to be an old man there, as if he is looking at the archway. Could it be that he belongs to the Yingluo family?"

Before Sakura could finish her words, Naruto had disappeared like a gust of wind. When he reappeared, he was already near the old man. Although he was grabbed by the collar and lifted up by the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared in the next second. .

"Trouble", Kakashi sighed, and quickly took his two students out, otherwise the other party might kill him directly.

The middle-aged man easily carried the struggling Naruto, ignored him yelling to let him go, and respectfully said to the old man who was still standing there, "Master, we have captured a child ninja, what should we do with it?"

"Just do as you did before. It's troublesome to stay anyway." The old man said calmly, with his hands behind his back and he silently looked up at the archway in the flames.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute," Kakashi hurriedly ran out and persuaded with a smile, "We are not ninjas from the Kingdom of Water, we are just ninjas from Konoha. We are just passing through here this time."

"Konoha", after hearing this, the old man finally moved his gaze to their faces, and then said lightly, "Team Hatake Kakashi, I remember they are the ninjas who escorted Xiaofeng back this time. , why are you here?”

"We came here to ask Feng whether she is safe or not and what happened here." Naruto immediately asked a series of questions, struggling constantly but still unable to break free from the middle-aged man's hands.

The old man still looked at the archway that was beginning to collapse, and only answered one of the questions, "Xiaofeng was still safe when we went out, but I don't know now. You don't need to know other questions. If you don't want your life to be in danger, you It’s better to leave here as soon as possible.”

"I don't know now," Naruto's pupils shrank and he shouted excitedly, "Isn't Feng your child? Why don't you even know about her safety? And why do you want to watch this home burn down? Aren't you the head of the house?"

The old man was not angry, but spoke as if he was amused, "Children's words are sometimes really naive. Sometimes a family does not have to guard a piece of land. What we have to protect is a family. Originally, the family still needs We protect our country, but unfortunately, it has nothing to do with us anymore.”

After a pause, the old man turned his head to look at the stunned Naruto and said calmly, "Furthermore, boy, Feng and the others are theoretically my children, but in fact they are the swords and shields I use to protect this family. Theirs Fate, do you understand it?”

"", Naruto's eyes suddenly widened, and after a few seconds his face darkened, and he said coldly, "In other words, you just used her as a tool and never thought about protecting her."

"It's them, some sacrifices are necessary, and they know it too, and you will understand when you grow up." The old man looked at the archway that was about to fall again, and said with sigh, "The wind is a What a good boy, what a pity.”

Naruto gritted his teeth, and with one force he broke free from the middle-aged man's hand. He ran in front of the old man, raised his head and shouted firmly, "I will protect Feng well so that you won't use her as a tool." Used the same”

This was the first time that the old man heard that someone was willing to protect the person he used as a chess piece. He was a little surprised and looked down at the young man with a green face. After a while, he found that his eyes were not shaken at all.After staring at him for a while, I found that he still didn't hesitate at all.

After narrowing his eyes thoughtfully, he suddenly said something incomprehensible, "It's a pretty good look, and it also seals something good."

"What", the sudden words made Naruto a little puzzled, and he couldn't turn around and looked at him for a moment.

Kakashi couldn't help but frown when he heard the old man's words. After all, the other party knew what was sealed in Naruto with just one glance. This was no small matter.

"No wonder those two kids said they wanted to attract the Jinchuuriki. It would be really fun if they made a big fuss." The old man glanced at him and continued to look back at the burning house in front of him, "But unfortunately, it's useless now. .”

The archway of the Yingluo clan finally couldn't withstand the erosion of the flames, and finally fell down helplessly, and was then burned down.After watching this scene quietly, the old man suddenly raised his finger and pointed to his right, then turned around and walked away without saying a word the whole time.

"", Naruto looked in the direction he pointed just now. The forest there was lush and dark, and even though the moonlight was bright, he still couldn't see clearly what was inside.

After he came to his senses, he smiled brightly, waved to the old man and said thank you, then rushed directly into the forest without waiting for his companions.

"Hey Naruto, wait a minute." Kakashi slipped away without paying attention, but now they had no other choice but to go into the forest.

The old man stopped, looked back at the place where they disappeared, and then remembered the resolute eyes of the child just now, and couldn't help but smile, "He is still a good person, but it depends on fate."
