Naruto: Fox and Cat

"Wind!!", the panic that she disappeared from his sight made Naruto suddenly widen his eyes and sit up, panting heavily and looking around in disbelief, only to find that he was lying on the bed at some point, with slightly familiar decorations. It was obviously the guest room where he stayed at the Sakura Clan's side.

But at this time, except for him, the room was empty, as if everything not long ago was just a dream.

And so is it.

"Wind..." Recalling the last scene in the dream, Naruto suddenly felt happy. When he wanted to get out of bed, he realized that his whole body was sore and weak, and the chakra in his body could not do anything about it. transfer.

"Hey, wake up, boy." Wu's voice sounded, and as the door was pushed open, a girl with two ponytails carrying two bowls of medicine walked in. Wu, who had always been cheerful and smiling, now only had tiredness and fatigue on his face. He was tired, and there were a lot of bloodshot eyes in his originally bright eyes.

After yawning, she put the medicine on the bedside table, pulled out a chair and sat down, "Just wake up and drink the medicine."

"Where's the wind?!" Naruto was only concerned about this matter now. He didn't know or care what happened to him. He directly ignored the reason why he felt like he had been beaten hard and jumped out of bed. He rushed to her and asked anxiously, "Has Feng woke up? Where is she now?"

"Don't yell, I haven't rested for a week..." Wu, who had serious dark circles under her eyes, glanced at him angrily, yawned again and then said weakly, "Sister Feng is fine, now In the guest room. For the convenience of care, she was not sent back to her own residence."

"Really?!" Naruto's eyes lit up and he wanted to rush out immediately but he didn't know which room she was in. "How is Feng doing now? Where is she now? I have to go see her quickly. explain!!"

"Sister Feng doesn't have any major problems for the time being. She still needs to rest and cannot visit for the time being. Especially you, young man, I know what you are planning." Wu glared at him, then pushed the two tables on the table. A bowl of medicine, "Drink it quickly. After drinking it, I will check your body. Then you can do whatever you want."

Although he wanted to rush to the girl immediately, Naruto also knew that he could not disturb her rest now.After taking a breath to calm down, Naruto didn't care what the two bowls of medicine were for, he just picked up one and almost spit it out as soon as he took a sip.

"If you dare to spit it out, I will chop you up directly." Wu stared coldly at the golden-haired fox with a pained expression, and habitually reached back to pull out the knife, only to realize that she did not have the knife with her.

After drinking the two bowls of terribly bitter medicine with a distorted expression, Naruto immediately grabbed the teapot and drank water. After drinking most of the pot of tea, he felt that his taste buds had returned.After sitting down with a sigh of relief, he said angrily, "I now fully suspect that you are trying to trick me..."

"There's no doubt, I'm really teasing you." Wu rubbed her eyes and saw that after he finished drinking, he stood up with the empty medicine bowl and prepared to leave.Although I don’t know what the blond boy did to give Sakura Luofeng the idea of ​​​​living, but the formation is not something that a ninja can bear, even if there are several tailed beasts with endless chakra support, Naruto was also in a coma for nearly a week before waking up.

In order to confirm their condition this week, Wu barely slept a wink. Now that she had finally stabilized, she could go back to sleep.And that child is also being watched by Mitsuki, so there is no chance that anything will go wrong.

Only now did Naruto realize that he seemed to be a little confused, and couldn't help but ask, "Mai, what happened?"

"Oh, you fainted due to hyperpnea before, and your mental state has rarely relaxed a little. We just want to try to see if you can enter Sister Feng's spiritual world and wake her up." Wu, who was not very energetic, started to fight again. Yawning, he then gave Naruto a thumbs-up with his free hand, "I have to say, boy, you always make people unexpected. We all had to give up at that time. That was the last resort."

"Then why do you have to wait until two years later? If you told me before, I will definitely cooperate with you!"

"Without a medium, you wouldn't be able to enter Sister Feng's spiritual world at all. Fortunately, he occasionally wakes up for a few minutes in the past month, otherwise even if you beat yourself half to death, there is nothing we can do." Wu waved his hand and beat again. After yawning, he slowly prepared to leave, "As for whether you can go into Sister Feng's room, you can ask Sister Yuyue. I'm going to sleep for a while, young man, don't disturb me..."

Naruto watched her leave blankly, still unable to understand what she meant.Then for some reason, he suddenly remembered the child that Yue held carefully in his hands before.

More and more mysteries seem to suddenly have a solution, but they also seem to have fallen into a fog.

After standing there confused for a while, he decided to wait for Wu and the others to explain themselves. The most important thing now was to wait for the girl to wake up...

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

After waiting for a few days, Naruto was told that Sakura Luofeng was fine and all he had to do was wait for her to wake up.He was also allowed to go into the room and leave to see her, although after hearing this decision, Wu almost drew a knife and chopped him into pieces.

At this time, two years had passed since the war ended, and finally, the despair that had always been on tenterhooks dissipated when it touched the girl's warm skin.

The girl who was sleeping quietly had a soft face and shallow breathing, as if she was just taking a nap.The long white hair was scattered on the light blue pillow and quilt, and the pale bandage wrapped around the girl's eyes, making the bloodless face even paler.

Her eyes were one of the costs of being taken away from her this time.However, through the hands of Mai and Mitsuki, changing eyes is not a problem.

and……

Naruto, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, carefully held her right hand with both hands, feeling the weak but steady pulse under his finger with piety.

[Wind, wind~~], Naruto looked at the girl on the bed with gentle eyes. The wandering and wandering for more than two years completely melted away at this moment, and only the girl in front of him was left in his heart.

As long as she is alive, everything is worth it~

With one free hand, he carefully touched the gauze on her face, and then slid it onto her still cold face. Naruto looked at her tenderly, and then said softly, "Feng, Wu said I'll wait for you to wake up." You still need to recuperate well after that. I will accompany you well, and then let’s go back to Konoha together. By the way, I will also take you to the Ferris wheel and the sea of ​​flowers I mentioned to you before. Sister Ling said you have no memory of this~"

The girl was still sleeping quietly, not feeling the tenderness of the people around her at all.

There were three rhythmic knocks outside the door, and then the faint voice of the eldest daughter of the Sakura clan came, "Naruto-kun, is it convenient for us to talk?"

"Well, here we come." Naruto was not surprised by her arrival. After all, he was the only one who was kept in the dark from beginning to end, and it was time to know the truth now.

"Feng, I'll be out for a while, don't worry." After gently tucking the quilt for the girl and bending down to kiss her forehead, Naruto reluctantly walked out the door.

Yue Ling was waiting outside the door. She also had many unhealed wounds on her body. It was obvious that she had been outside before.

After seeing him close the door carefully, Yue Ling said calmly, "You must also know why I came this time, so I will get straight to the point."

Although Naruto had almost guessed it, he was still not sure. He nodded silently and looked at her.

"It's true that Xiaofeng faked her death. After all, that was the only way to save her life. And the reason why I hid everything from you and told you that she was dead was Xiaofeng's decision. But in the future, we can I was saved thanks to the medicine you brought back."

Naruto had already guessed this possibility, but he couldn't help but feel his breath hitch when he heard it with his own ears.

"The formation my brother invented caused great harm to the caster. Even if Wu protected their bodies in time, the possibility of rescuing them is slim. Moreover, even if they are rescued, their bodies will not last long."

Naruto slowly clenched his fists, and then spoke in a low voice, his voice a little hoarse, "So..."

"You are still young and your future is immeasurable. And Xiaofeng knew before that even if she was rescued by luck, it would only harm you. She also knew that you would not give up easily. So the only way is to make you believe that she has died."

Naruto's clenched fists unclenched and then clenched, his eyes dark and unclear but he spoke calmly, "Then why are you telling me now?"

Yue Ling just glanced at him lightly, her expression indifferent but as if she had seen through everything, but she did not answer directly, but asked, "If Xiaofeng really dies, what will you do?"

Naruto was silent, but his eyes that became ghostly had already answered.

Yue Ling looked at him and secretly sighed that Ying Luofeng was attracted by a powerful person. Then she just continued the original topic lightly, "So we decided that instead of letting you take dangerous actions, it is better to tell the truth. You. What happens next is Xiaofeng's fate."

Naruto's expression returned to calm and he said calmly, "Thank you for telling me this."

Yue Ling just paused and then said, "The real difficulty is after Xiaofeng wakes up, you should learn some necessary knowledge from Wu during this period. Xiaofeng's body can no longer withstand any torture."

"Well, I will definitely study hard."

"You two can solve your own problems. That kid Xiaofeng always thinks about others but rarely cares about his own thoughts." Yue Ling sighed silently, then patted Naruto on the shoulder and said solemnly He said, "Xiao Feng, I'm leaving it to you, Naruto."

Yue Ling's eyes were serious, but also warning. It was obvious that if Naruto could not complete this task, she would never show mercy.

Naruto was not moved at all, but instead smiled brightly and said, "I have decided a long time ago that I will love her and protect her! This determination will not disappear even after death!"

Seeing his determination, Yue Ling's cold face finally showed a fleeting smile. She waved her hand and turned around to leave, "Then Xiaofeng, I'll trouble you to take care of him."

"Well, thank you Sister Yueling!" Naruto waved happily, feeling very happy because he was recognized by them.

Then he suddenly remembered something and immediately called out anxiously to the woman who was about to leave, "Wait a minute, sister Yue Ling. What happened to Yue Ming?"

"Guess who connected the spiritual world between you and Xiaofeng?" Yue Ling stopped and looked back at him, smiled softly and continued walking forward.

Although the other party didn't give an obvious answer, Naruto seemed to have guessed something.After watching her leave, he turned around and went into the room.The girl on the bed was still lying quietly, just like before he left.

Gently reaching out to lift up a strand of the girl's hair, Naruto quietly looked at the white snow on his hands.Knowing the truth, he should feel angry, but now he only feels distressed.

From the first moment they met until now, all this girl has been thinking about is other people.No matter what others think or accuse, she silently carries it all by herself.

And this time, had she long ago planned to send herself to a future she thought was wonderful?

But if that future doesn't have her, how can it be beautiful...
