Naruto: Fox and Cat

In a dark, cold secret room, two people were sitting side by side on the cold jade bed. One was Naruto who had passed out due to hyperpnea, and the other had been sleeping here for the past two years. The cherry blossoms are falling in the wind.The two people held each other's hands next to each other, and the wrist of the other hand was wrapped with a thin invisible gold thread.

The other ends of the two golden threads were on Yuyue's right hand. She, who was sitting not far away, had no other unnecessary movements except moving the two threads from time to time, and her face covered by the veil could not be seen. What expression.

Near the door, Yue Ling was standing there holding a sleeping child. A thick and warm mink coat wrapped the child's whole body to prevent the cold from affecting him.

The cold jade bed was placed in a six-pointed star, not too big nor too small, just occupying the center of the six-pointed star.The old head of the Yingluo clan was also standing on one side, leaning on a cane and standing in one corner.

"It doesn't seem to be successful," Wu folded her hands and waited aside, frowning to hide her anxiety, "And is the fox boy really okay in the formation? Although he has many tailed beasts in his body, but the chakra The amount won’t last long.”

"The situation is not good." Mitsuki moved the gold thread on her finger, and her usually calm voice was rarely cautious, "The seal of the Nine Tails has also been weakened. It is estimated that it will come out even if it flicks its tail."

The two Nine Lamas lying in Naruto's inner world could also hear the conversation outside. After hearing this, the eighteen big tails that were swinging around in boredom stopped moving and spread directly on the ground like a fan. .At the same time, he stared at the other tailed beasts lying on the ground to warn them to calm down their tails.

"It seems that we can only stop here, we can't let anything happen to Uzumaki Naruto," the old patriarch sighed, and knocked on the formation with his crutch, "I just hope that Xiaofeng can say goodbye to him properly this time. , don’t let him be obsessed with it anymore.”

"All this started because of Xiao Feng, and will end because of her. After a complete farewell, Naruto will start a new life again." Yue Ling sighed. She originally hoped that Naruto could bring Sakura to life. Brought back by Luofeng.

"Even the fox boy can't do anything... Sure enough, it's because the trauma caused by the forbidden technique was too great..." Wu looked at the two people on the bed sadly. She was still waiting for a miracle.

"Maybe it's a good thing that he can't wake up. Xiaofeng also decided not to trouble him anymore before he fell asleep. Naruto still has an endless future, but even if Xiaofeng is rescued, he can't stay with him for long." Yue Ling hugged the child and left. Come over, pat his face gently and try to wake him up while continuing, "It makes up for the regret that the two of them couldn't say goodbye in the end, and it also fulfills Xiaofeng's dream. This is the last thing we can do."

"Hey...", the old master sighed, and when he was about to move the crutch away from the formation, he suddenly found that the crutch was entangled in a red chakra extending from Naruto's body.The chakra, which was not too powerful, was still tightly wrapped around the crutch he used to control the formation, silently persisting even as the formation continued to weaken.

The old head of the family paused, and pressed the cane again with some surprise. After seeing the chakra dissipate, he sighed and said, "It's really surprising. Obviously you are the one who suffers the most in this formation, fox." .”

[Hmph,], the Nine Lamas lying in the inner world just snorted disdainfully. Just as he was about to flick his tail to show his contempt for the old man, he remembered what Mitsuki said just now and continued to spread his tail on the ground.

"Then wait for another five minutes. This is the limit." Yue Yue said calmly and continued to touch the gold thread on her finger. ,

Yue Ling carefully checked the child in her arms, couldn't help frowning and whispered, "I guess it won't last 5 minutes. You have to be prepared to end it at any time."

....................................................................................

The originally beautiful and peaceful night sky began to collapse, with many large and small fragments still embedded with stars.At some point, there were no more pedestrians in the town, and the vegetation was drying up quickly as if it was approaching the end of the world. The cherry blossom petals all over the ground turned into powder and disappeared.

Only the location of the Ferris wheel is still intact, and the small lights wrapped around the Ferris wheel bracket are still flashing, trying hard to maintain the last bit of beauty in this collapsed world.

"Naruto, it's time for you to go back." The girl sitting next to him spoke softly, but the close distance brought an unprecedented sense of alienation.

After his vague guess was confirmed, Naruto calmed down. After looking outside and estimating the position of the Ferris wheel, he said with some regret, "The Ferris wheel hasn't reached the top yet."

"Naruto...", the girl looked at his regretful look helplessly, sighed and whispered, "The letter I left you should have made it clear. The war had done to my body The damage is almost irreparable. I can no longer be by your side like before. It has been two years now. You should also think about this and start letting go of me. There are still many friends in Konoha. I’m waiting for you, and you’re still the child of prophecy, so you can’t waste time on me anymore.”

Naruto just lowered his head and grabbed her hands and played with them. The familiar temperature made him very nostalgic. At the same time, he just listened quietly to the voice in his ears that had been absent for two years, although her persuasion was constantly pulling her. He tried to put distance between the two of them, and even tried to put an end to their fate, but unfortunately, he refused all of these.

The girl talked a lot, but found that the person in front of her had no other response besides holding her hands quietly. She couldn't help but pull her hands back angrily, "Naruto! Are you listening to me?"

Hearing her obviously angry voice for the first time, Naruto was stunned and quickly nodded his head, "Yes! You must have listened!"

Seeing that he was obviously distracted, the girl couldn't help biting her lip angrily, but after a few seconds she just sighed helplessly, held his hand again and whispered, "Naruto, you really should go back. .The time has come and it’s time for me to leave.”

"!!" Naruto's pupils shrank, he subconsciously held her hand tightly and shouted in panic, "Where are you going, Feng?"

"I don't know, maybe go where your parents are." The girl just shook her head. No one knew her situation better than her.

"No! Feng, you said you would accompany me! We agreed to travel everywhere together after the war!" Naruto, who instinctively felt fear, subconsciously wanted to hug her, but his hands seemed to pass through the air. The same thing passed through the girl in front of him, just like the person in front was just a phantom.

"What...what's going on..." The overwhelming despair made him breathless. His trembling hands carefully touched her face like a fragile object. There was nostalgia in her eyes, but The tentacles were nothing.

"The time has come faster than I thought..." The girl tried her best to curl her lips into a smile, but the tears of reluctance slipped quietly, "Naruto, promise me, okay? Put me down and go back to Konoha. Well, you've done enough for me. It's my fault, I just don't want to think about the memory of that day anymore...it hurts too much..."

She also wanted to wake up, but she was even more afraid to wake up...

The last scene she remembered on the battlefield was the tailed beast jade that destroyed the world. She remembered the ten-tailed beast jade that could bring doom and the suffocating despair they brought...

She remembered that when the forbidden technique was activated, the severe pain that was like being torn to pieces from the depths of her soul to her body only lasted a few seconds, but it seemed like countless years had passed.

She no longer knew what happened after that, she only knew that she was repeating the despair and pain of that day every day, every hour, and even every minute.

Just like reincarnation without an end, even though two years have passed, the suffocation and severe pain are still as vivid as what happened in the last second.

She didn't know what she was holding on to or what she was waiting for. It wasn't until the blond boy appeared in front of her for some reason that she seemed to suddenly realize it.

It turns out that I owe him a 'goodbye'...

The time when a flower blooms and fades is her last wish, the simplest realization of her dream, and her final farewell.This will be her end and the new starting point for the blond boy.

Feeling the endless despair and fear in her heart, Naruto's mind went blank.For a time that he didn't know, the girl he swore to protect was here alone, enduring the pain day after day, year after year, until she couldn't bear it anymore and collapsed.

"It's really nice to see you again for the last time, Naruto. Don't be sad for me for too long. I'm already very happy in this life~" The girl also raised her hand and gently traced his eyebrows in the air, and then gently He tapped in vain on the lines on his right cheek, raised the corners of his lips and blinked his tearful eyes, "Okay, just smile."

Naruto, who was trembling with panic and despair, suddenly calmed down abnormally. When he spoke again, his words were a little confusing, "The Ferris wheel hasn't reached the top yet..."

"?", the girl was stunned for a moment, wondering why he suddenly mentioned this completely unrelated matter.

"My ninja forehead protector is in Feng's hand. I said it at the end of the war. If you hadn't tied it for me personally, Feng, there would be no point in saying it." Naruto raised his hand and touched the forehead protector. His forehead protector looked a little nostalgic, after all, he hadn't touched a ninja forehead protector for nearly two years.

"Then it counts as tied, and I don't break the contract~" The girl looked at the Konoha logo on his forehead protector, as if she saw the little blond boy who got the ninja forehead protector for the first time many years ago.

"Yes," Naruto's right hand went around the back of his head, and he moved his fingers to untie the blue ribbon with one hand.The blue ribbon loosened weakly, and the forehead protector that symbolized the way of the ninja quietly fell down.

"Wait...!!" Looking at the forehead protector that fell from his forehead, the girl's expression suddenly changed. She subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab the forehead protector, but her outstretched hands were suddenly grabbed by someone. He took the opportunity to pull her hard and ran directly into his arms.

"I caught you~", the blond boy who smiled like a fox hugged the person in his arms tightly with satisfaction, and rubbed her hard to make sure she wouldn't disappear again before he felt a little relieved.The feeling that she was clearly right in front of him but unable to touch him almost scared him to death. As expected, it was only by holding her that he felt real.

The sudden change made her face not very good. When she saw the collapse of the surrounding environment approaching, she even panicked and wanted to get away from him, "Naruto, you..."

"I'm sorry." The blond boy who was holding her and burying his head in her neck suddenly spoke. He could clearly feel his slight trembling as he slowly tightened his embrace. There was only endless regret and apology in his slightly hoarse voice. "Feng, I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

The inexplicable apology stunned the originally emotional girl. She listened quietly to the words "I'm sorry" over and over again. After a while, she sighed softly, raised her hand and patted his generous chest. Back, "Naruto did nothing wrong. My innate ability meant that you couldn't save me. I didn't blame you, and you don't have to blame yourself."

"Not just during the war, whether it was when Obito controlled you or when Sakura wanted to assassinate you because of a misunderstanding, I was never with you..." Thinking of my own feelings at that time when I could only learn this news from others, Naruto still feels helpless and regretful, "Even if I save Konoha, I save the world, but I can't even protect you once. I'm really useless..."

"Naruto..." Listening to the helplessness and regret in his words, the girl opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she remained silent.It was a lie to say he didn't care at first, but what could he do who didn't know anything at that time?After feeling relieved, I was glad that he didn't know about these things so that he wouldn't have to worry.

There are too many differences in their identities and positions, and there are many potential enemies around her.In addition, Naruto was the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi, so she couldn't let him get involved in the trouble she caused.

What's more, there is a three-year age difference between the two, and he was only a ten-year-old child when they first met.Every time she senses danger, she subconsciously puts him among those who need protection, even though he is now powerful enough to save the world.

"I couldn't stay with you during the war. I knew you were seriously injured but still didn't protect you. If I insisted on letting you leave at that time, Feng wouldn't have faced those tailed beast jade by himself, nor would he I can't wake up..." Naruto recalled the fear and despair he felt from the girl in front of him, and felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, "It's all my fault..."

"Don't always take the blame on yourself. It's a war. It's impossible to cover everything." The girl who calmed down raised her hand and patted his back, comforting him in a low voice, "At that time, Naruto saved everyone. The ninja is super powerful."

"But I can't save Feng and Feng's family..." Naruto hugged her tightly, and felt a throbbing pain in his heart when he thought of the sky full of fire and the beautiful but deadly pink light spots that exploded in front of his eyes.

Such a desperate scene was shocking to onlookers, not to mention that she was in the middle of the explosion?

The girl looked at the approaching collapse outside the Ferris wheel pod. Knowing that time was running out, she broke away from his arms, grabbed his hand and said anxiously, "Naruto, listen to me, I..."

"I'll accompany you." The blond boy just interrupted her, with only determination in his sky-blue eyes, "No matter what Feng decides, I will accompany you."

The girl couldn't figure out what he meant for a moment, and looked blankly at Naruto, who looked serious, "What...means..."

"If Feng is afraid of waking up, then I will accompany you, so that Feng will never be alone again..." Naruto took her right hand, lowered his head and kissed the back of her white hand, calmly His voice was like an oath, "I will love you and protect you, whether in the real world or this unknown world. I will bear everything that Feng is afraid of for you. So, Feng just needs to be happy by my side." That’s fine, I have my say in everything.”

They should have been sweet words of love, but there was a slight cold sweat on the girl's face. If she had heard such words before, she would definitely be happy.But under the current circumstances, the true meaning of Naruto's words made her feel scared...

If she guessed correctly, did Naruto mean not to return to the real world?

Her eyes moved to the neglected forehead protector on the ground in disbelief. The idea that was slowly confirmed made her even her body couldn't help but tremble slightly. She was flustered when her plans were disrupted, and she was unfazed by the situation. The fear of control, and the inexplicable joy that is hidden.

A hand touched her face and gently made her panic look at him again. The blond boy narrowed his eyes and said, "Although I don't have time to say goodbye to my friends in Konoha, they can definitely understand. .The world has also been saved, and no one will start another war for a while, not to mention that Sasuke and Brother Itachi are also super powerful."

The girl opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't know what to say.Naruto's sudden decision, which was beyond her imagination, made her mind go blank, and she couldn't say anything to dissuade him.

"If Feng wants to stay here, then let's start a new life here." Naruto wiped the cold sweat on her face with some distress, and gently took her right hand and pressed it on his heart. , said calmly and seriously, "Feng, if you decide to leave me this time, no matter where you are going, I will chase you at all costs. No matter what you say this time, it will not change my decision. .”

The heartbeat coming from his hands was steady and strong, silently conveying his decision.After the girl stared blankly at his smiling eyes for a while, she seemed to have just found her voice and said a few words in a low voice, "But, Naruto..."

"And Konohamaru~ Although I want to say Sasuke, that guy will definitely refuse." Naruto puffed up his face, slowly interlocked the fingers of her right hand and then said with some pity, "But if I say If I’m sorry, I really have something to say.”

"..." The girl looked down at the hand intertwined with hers blankly, and then looked up at him in confusion after a while.

"Do you remember the calla lily I gave you then?" Naruto quietly touched her black hair with his other hand, missing her current healthy appearance.

The girl was still a little dazed, and after a while she whispered, "The one you brought back from the Country of Waves?"

"Yes, at first sight I thought that kind of flower was very suitable for Feng. I have always wanted to take Feng to see it since then. Although I brought Feng there after the war, Feng happened to be asleep and couldn't see it. That sea of ​​flowers. I've always thought about taking you to see it again after the wind wakes up." Naruto thought of the sea of ​​flowers, but it was a pity. He originally planned to do other things there, "But I will definitely do it again in the future. I’ll find a better place~”

"...", the girl's lips moved, not knowing how to reply.

"Will you see your parents later? Then we can reunite together~" Naruto looked at the disintegration getting closer and closer outside, and looked up at the ceiling of the pod with some pity, "It's a pity that the first The first time I rode the Ferris wheel, I didn’t reach the top. I’ve been waiting to say it. But I will definitely have the opportunity to say it in the future~”

The girl just lowered her head and looked quietly at the hand intertwined with her own.Obviously, Naruto will not wake up. Even if he will be forcibly taken back after the formation is over, he will probably find a way to come back here later...

There is everything he wants in the real world. After the Ninja World War, his fame and power have spread throughout the world. His dream of becoming Hokage since he was a child is just around the corner.

My only wish is for him to let go of himself and continue his bright life.

But she also knew his character well. As long as she stayed here, he would definitely find a way to stay.

[Now it seems that the person who completely ruined him is me...], the girl's hands trembled slightly, and there was only a mess in her mind, [When did I become so willful? I obviously want to stop being involved. his……]

Naruto was still saying something, looking cheerful as if he couldn't see this inexplicable world except the Ferris wheel where they were.

After slowly tightening her lips, the girl who made up her mind calmed down, and the Ferris wheel that had stopped began to slowly rise again.

"Peak!" Naruto's eyes lit up. Although he didn't know what was going on, after the Ferris wheel reached the top, he could try the legend openly.Just before the Ferris wheel was about to reach its top, the golden-haired fox, with almost a few tails waving in the air, happily approached, but was covered by a slender hand.

"Just skip it this time," the girl's long black hair turned into the color of snow. After a rare sly blink, she disappeared, leaving only a fleeting sentence, "I'll wait for you to take me to the real place." Ferris wheel~"

"Wind!" Naruto, who reached out and grabbed something empty, shouted subconsciously. Before he could react, his vision went black and he completely lost consciousness.

The empty Ferris wheel also broke into fragments and merged with the previous scenery. Among the fragments that began to disappear, a few bare branches could be vaguely seen sprouting green shoots.

Spring has arrived.
