Naruto: Fox and Cat

Chapter 252: Starting again

The darkness in her field of vision made Ying Luofeng close her eyes. After staying motionless for a long time, she reached out and scratched the tatami. Her fingers became harder and harder and even scratched the surface of the tatami. "Why do you want me to survive..." …]

Yu was not surprised when he saw this question. He had never seen the always strong Ying Luofeng have such a fragile side.He kind of watched Ying Luofeng grow up, from a toddler who was selected to join the escort team to an outstanding and intelligent girl step by step.Even though she was still a child at the time, she already knew her future destiny.She rarely relies on others, and no matter how difficult the task she takes on is, she will complete it brilliantly without leaving any trouble.

Her experiences and education since she was a child made her only rely on herself. Especially after the hunt for the Sakura clan in Hidden Kiri Village happened, she also understood that in this world, if she wanted herself or the people she cared about to survive, , the only thing she can believe in is her own power.

She is an extremely outstanding warrior among the Sakura clan. Even though this status brings countless burdens to her, she is proud of her abilities.However, everything that could bring her confidence disappeared along with the cherry blossoms on the battlefield.

Although a long time had passed, her belated collapse was also expected.Sometimes it's easy to break a strong person, just take her power away.

Yu could only help her up, pat her face gently to make her focus on him, and then asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you afraid that the second brother will continue to arrange your next practice plan?"

Recalling the practice that tortured people to death, Ying Luofeng, who was originally depressed, couldn't help but smile.

"It's great to be alive. You are our precious family. Especially after escaping from Kirigakure Village, we don't want to lose anyone." Yu raised her hand to comb her messy long hair, her expression rarely relaxed, "Now the war It's over, the family has settled down, and there won't be much to fight for in the next few decades. If you want to live in Konoha in the future, no one will dare to go to Konoha to cause trouble. Although there is no guarantee that it will take decades With what happens next, Konoha now and in the future will undoubtedly be the safest place in the world."

Ying Luofeng lowered her eyes and looked at her hands, silently wondering what she was thinking.After a while, she continued to write on the ground, "What happened after the war?"In that case, the final solution should be followed. ]

"That's true, but that kid always acted unplanned. You seemed to be dead at that time, and we also knew that even if you woke up, you couldn't accept the cruel reality of losing all your power. So we planned to make Naruto believe The fact that you are dead, and then start his future life again." When Yu thought of Naruto's unusually calm performance after learning about Sakura Luofeng's death, his usually smiling expression couldn't help but become serious, "He has always believed that you were just sleeping and will wake up one day. And he also prevented the funeral for you, and even persuaded the old family owner to exchange for four years. We will protect your body during this period , and then he finds a way to save you."

Ying Luofeng frowned slightly, still unable to figure out what the solution was, "There should be no way to save us in the ninja world. Even if I had lost all my strength at that time, Ninjutsu would not be able to save me." ]

"I heard from Sasuke that Naruto went to the place where Princess Kaguya was sealed, and also went to all kinds of messy places to find those illusory stories. There were no clues where the light was, so he stepped into the dirty and dark world. On the other side, we also saw the other side of human nature with our own eyes. Things began to develop beyond our expectations. Even if we believe that Naruto will not change, but seeing too much darkness like that, he will be affected to a greater or lesser extent. ", Yu. At first, I thought Naruto just needed some time to accept the truth, but he still underestimated the determination of the blond boy.Before they could stop him, Naruto had already seen the hearts of those who would not change much no matter how hard they tried.

They didn't want him to know the cruel other side of the world, the darkness that was so deeply ingrained that it couldn't be changed.The peace gained after the Fourth Ninja War can last until this generation of people finishes their lives. Naruto, who saved the world, should also have a glorious and bright future, but everything has changed.

"In order to end all this in time, we gave him Mizuki's information. But that guy Mizuki asked Naruto to kill everyone in a village. There was no reason or explanation, just this request." Pursing his lips, he still couldn't believe it, "He agreed without even thinking about it."

Ying Luofeng trembled, and her originally bloodless face turned pale. She looked at Yu in disbelief, but she only saw him nodding helplessly.

Seeing his confirmation, Ying Luofeng was stunned.To be honest, destroying a village for no reason can be put on anyone, but it shouldn't be Naruto, and it can't be Naruto.

"The people in that village are fine. Sasuke and Itachi set up a barrier there, and later modified their memories." Yu took a breath and continued, "It's not difficult to restore life characteristics to your body. Later, the young master You woke up too, and Mitsuki tried to find a way to let Naruto enter your spiritual world. Although I don't know what happened specifically, you woke up later, and you also know what happened after that."

Ying Luofeng pursed her lips, still unable to believe what Yu just said, but she knew better that Yu could not lie to her.To be honest, she was very confused now. It had only been three years, but so many things had happened beyond her imagination.

"Naruto has done a lot for you and lost a lot. And that boy refused to give up on you no matter how much you tried to persuade him. He obviously had more choices after the Fourth Ninja War." Yu stretched out his hand to rub her. The long hair that had just been combed could only be knocked on her head when he saw that she was still lowering her head blankly. "When you lose your ability, you lose it. Now everyone is worried about you. What's more, Naruto's The kid has been sticking to your side, how can you get a chance to take action? If you really want to hit someone, just punch that golden fox a few times."

Ying Luofeng raised her hand to write something, but finally lowered it weakly.She was desperate for her current fragile self, and was touched by Naruto's sacrifice. She was even more afraid that she would become someone else's weakness.But no matter how you think about it, Naruto's current changes are all thanks to her.

That young man should have a bright future, he should believe that he would bring peace to the world, and he should also believe that the darkness of this world would one day disappear.

She used to travel around for all kinds of information all year round, so of course she knew the rules of the game in those places.In that kind of place, there is no so-called love and peace, only infinite entanglements of interests.Come for profit, leave for profit.It's that simple.

"Xiao Feng, you should know that Naruto has grown up, and he has his own understanding of the world. Even if you don't want it, he will be exposed to some unknown things after becoming Hokage." Yu paused, Finally, he returned to the original topic, "Actually, are you worried that after you lose your family's ability, you are afraid that you won't be able to protect him like before?"

Ying Luofeng shrank slightly and slowly clenched her bandaged hands.

"Xiao Feng, you should know one thing. Naruto never wanted your help. What he wanted from the beginning to the end was just you." Yu held her wrist and carefully opened her left hand. Fingers to avoid aggravating the injury on the palm, "Moreover, you have to believe that he will protect you. Even if you have lost all your strength now, you will not become his weakness. He has the ability to do this now, and you only need to All you have to do is trust him, okay?”

Ying Luofeng just lowered her head, wrapping her hands around the bandage and grabbing her long snow-white hair unnaturally.

"Naruto is a person worth trusting. He will solve all problems." Yu put his arms around her and let her lean on his shoulders, patting her back gently like he did when he was a child. "Cry, after you have completely vented your anger, If you talk to him properly, he will go crazy these days."

At first, Ying Luofeng didn't make any movement, but in the end, when her eyes became moist, she still buried her head on his shoulder and cried silently, as if she wanted to vent all the negative emotions after waking up.

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

Naruto had been waiting at the stairs. When he saw the rain coming down, his eyes immediately lit up and he wanted to go up to see the situation, "Second brother, how is Feng's situation now?"

Yu just raised his hand to stop him and glared at him angrily, "Although Xiaofeng's physical condition is not as good as before, she is not a porcelain doll. You don't have to stay by her side all the time. Just let her rest alone. It's just right." You two can have some quiet time."

"But..." Naruto was still very worried and kept looking around to see what was going on upstairs.

"She has already fallen asleep. She will be fine if she wakes up tomorrow." Yu picked up his bow and arrow and prepared to find a room to change out of his wet clothes.

Naruto also caught a glimpse of the moisture on the black cloth on his shoulders, and his body trembled slightly as he guessed what it could be.If he guessed correctly, did the girl who had always been gentle and strong cry...

Mai happened to pass by carrying a basin, and when she saw Naruto standing there, she just shrank her neck, silently walked around him and ran up to the second floor.She has never been good at comforting others, so it would be better to leave such troublesome matters to older people~

It didn't take long for Yu to pass by carrying two wine bottles, threw one to Naruto and then found a table to sit down.He took out a wine glass and filled it with wine. "You should be able to drink now?"

Naruto looked upstairs again, then walked to sit across from him, took an empty wine glass and poured it in, then looked at the transparent wine in the glass, "I haven't drunk it."

"You can try it. Sometimes wine can make people relax a lot."

Naruto took a sip of wine and silently got used to the pungent taste in his throat before speaking in a low voice, "Feng, were you crying just now?"

Yu shook the wine glass and looked at the swaying drink with a smile, "Have you forgotten one thing? Xiaofeng is three years older than you. With her strong character, how could she be so unfaithful to someone younger than her?" Cry in front of people?"

Naruto wanted to say something, but he couldn't deny the fact, so he just turned the wine glass in his hand silently.

"Xiaofeng is much stronger than you think. She rarely wavers, let alone collapses like this." Yu recalled the girl who was curled up and shivering, but suddenly found gave a good metaphor, "I have watched her grow up, but this is the first time I have seen her cry so hard, and the first time I have seen her look so helpless, like a bird without protective thorns. Like a hedgehog.”

Listening to his words, Naruto couldn't imagine that scene.In his memory, the girl had always been gentle and strong. Even when he learned that she was one of the murderers of Jiraiya, she was only at a loss for a short time before she came up with a solution for him. The results of the confession.

Yu just looked at him with a straight face as he finished the drink, and spoke with some emotion about Ying Luofeng's past, "Xiao Feng was sent to the clan when he was more than two years old. Being the young master's guard means that She completely severed ties with her previous family and lived with a new identity. In my impression, she is the only child who has not made any noise since coming to the Zong family. She knows her responsibilities and her future mission is to become The shield and sword of the new generation of family heads. She also completed her duties very well. She is an excellent warrior. Xiaofeng is very smart and has great talents in family abilities. She is also very capable in strategy, intelligence, etc. Outstanding. Her excessive strength makes her rarely rely on others, and the tasks she is responsible for in the family are all solo tasks. Duo tasks are usually done with Wu, and the little guy is even more unreliable. She has lived an independent and strong life since she was a child. , she woke up and saw everything destroyed, no wonder she collapsed."

Naruto held the wine glass tightly and spoke in a low voice with a hoarse voice, "Wind... she seemed to be in a good mood after she woke up..."

"That was our negligence. Everyone has been too busy since the war. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about her, we thought she had accepted the fact." Yu didn't notice anything unusual at the time. After all, Ying Luofeng didn't need it since she was a child. Others worry too much, "After Xiaofeng woke up, it was you and Wu who took care of her, right?"

"Yeah," Naruto nodded. During this period, other people also came to visit, but most of the time Ying Luofeng was asleep, and the people he saw the most were him and Wu.

"One is someone she has watched grow up, and the other has been watching him grow up since he was ten years old. With Xiaofeng's character, it is impossible for her to show any inappropriate emotions in front of you. She will only act like She is as calm and steady as ever, hiding all worries and pain in her heart. That's why she didn't want to see you after the collapse." Yuxiao narrowed her eyes, took a sip of sake and looked at Naruto's complicated expression in amusement.

Naruto stared at the wine glass in his hand with a solemn expression, and finally drank it down in silence. The slightly spicy sake made him cough uncomfortably.Of course he knew these things, because Ying Luofeng often left him again and again to prevent him from being in danger. Naruto could even see Ying Luofeng's determination every time.If she hadn't given up, she would have completely severed contact with [Xiao] when she had a deal.

"She asked me a question, why should I let her live?" Yu continued to shake the wine glass, squinting at the clear wine, but the only things that came to mind were the bloody fruit knife and the girl in the broken room. Fingers scribbling on the ground in despair.

Naruto's hands shook and he looked at him in a daze, as if he didn't hear what he said clearly, and more like he was overwhelmed by the content of his words.

"You tell her the answer to this question yourself. According to the current situation, Xiaofeng will most likely live in Konoha from now on. Although the world is peaceful now, the world is unstable. Konoha is outside our family's sphere of influence. There are many things that Far Water can't save Near Fire. The only person she can rely on in Konoha is you."

The strange thing is that Naruto just stayed silent until he drank a glass of wine, his expression was a little incomprehensible, and even his eyes changed slightly when he heard Yu's last words.

Noticing the look in his eyes, Yu's originally smiling expression suddenly turned cold, and there was only coldness in her slender phoenix eyes.After staring closely at Naruto, who had no abnormal expression for a while, he reminded her word by word, "Naruto Uzumaki, it was you who left her in this world, then you should risk your life to let her go." Live this life happily, do you understand?!”

Naruto's expression was calm, but his firm eyes showed his usual attitude, "You know I will do whatever it takes, second brother."

Yu just stared at him with squinted eyes for a while, and then suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes. His relaxed and indifferent expression was no longer as sharp as a few seconds ago. He even poured Naruto a full bottle of wine with great interest, "I I have no doubts,”

Naruto lowered his eyes and looked at the wine glass that was gradually filling up with wine. He couldn't help but curl his lips silently as he recalled the conversation just now.Is he the only one I can rely on in the future?

That's really, really good to say~

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

When Naruto woke up the next morning, he only felt a splitting headache. The hangover made him rarely sleep in bed.After an unknown amount of time, Mai's enthusiastic voice began to be faintly heard from downstairs, as if she was discussing interesting things with someone, but Naruto did not hear the other person's voice.

"Wind?" Naruto sat up suddenly, but his head was almost split in pain. After a while of grinning and adapting, he wanted to rush downstairs, but he soon stopped at the door.After thinking quietly for a while, he just took a deep breath and turned towards the nearby bathroom.After washing up quietly, he looked at his face in the mirror, which was stained with a lot of water drops, expressionlessly.

The face that has lost a lot of its childishness looks a lot more mature, especially after two or three years of traveling alone, it has become much calmer.The eyes that used to be unable to hide much emotion are now calm. Even if they hear the most outrageous things, they can now remain calm.

After looking at himself in the mirror in silence for a while, he suddenly rubbed his face vigorously, showing his usual cheerful expression before grabbing a forehead protector and rushing out of the room. His brisk figure was just like a few years ago. The roaring young ninja.

Downstairs, Ying Luofeng was sitting at the table near the door chatting with Wu. Judging from Wu's dancing, she should be talking about something interesting.The brilliant light of the first day illuminated the entire hall, driving away the darkness.

Naruto stood at the top of the stairs holding a forehead protector, squinting at the slender figure with his back turned to him.Bathed in the sun, she supported her face with her left hand. Her right hand was writing on the table from time to time, and sometimes she was amused by the exaggerated dance movements.Every move she made seemed to be glowing, as if she was out of reach, but Naruto knew that he had caught the light of desire.

Due to her position, Mai was the first to see Naruto standing there. After realizing that his eyes were all on her sister, she just rolled her eyes as usual. She was too lazy to continue making light bulbs. After talking to Ying Luofeng, she grabbed He picked up a piece of corn and ran out of the door.

Ying Luofeng turned around, her long snow-white hair shining brightly in the bright sunlight.Seeing Naruto who was motionless, she tilted her head in confusion, and a few strands of her long hair fell from her shoulders.

"Good morning, Feng~" After admiring enough, Naruto raised his legs and walked towards her. As soon as he sat down, he hugged her as if he were boneless and complained feebly, "I got drunk by my second brother yesterday...and now my head hurts. It's going to explode..."

Sakura Luofeng also heard about how Naruto was given several bottles of wine yesterday. She couldn't help but smile and then raised her bandaged hands to hug the coquettish golden-haired fox.Perhaps due to the nature of the chakra in his body, Naruto's body temperature has always been relatively high and he feels warm when held in his arms.After hugging him for a while, Ying Luofeng patted him on the back to signal him to let go of her. She pulled away slightly and saw the aggrieved face of a certain golden-haired fox.

Naruto placed the forehead protector on the table and carefully held her wrist. He looked down at her bandaged hands and asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"

[A bit,] Ying Luofeng didn't intend to hide it from him. She gently wrote on his palm with her right hand, "Did I scare you yesterday?" ]

"Yeah. But next time if Feng wants to be angry, just hit me and don't hurt yourself again. Anyway, I have strong recovery ability and recovered in no time." Naruto carefully touched the knot outside the bandage. Small scab wounds, I always feel that those scars and bandages are an eyesore.

[Am I that violent? ], Yingluo stretched out her hand and poked his face with enthusiasm. Yesterday, she was just in a bad mood. After venting her anger, she relieved the frustration in her heart.What's more, anyone who wakes up and finds that he has become so much weaker will definitely collapse.

"No, no, the wind said it the most gently!!" Naruto, who was immediately desperate for survival, quickly shook his head, fearing that he would be hammered into the ground in the next second.Yesterday Yu also reminded me that although I have lost my family's abilities, my original strength is still there.For example, breaking rocks is not a problem. In short, Ying Luofeng was very self-controlled when she didn't demolish the hotel yesterday.

Ying Luofeng just looked at him suspiciously, then reached out to comb his hair and glanced at the forehead protector he put on the table.

"If you want Feng to put it on me~~" Naruto just moved forward when she poked him back with her finger.Under his doubtful gaze, Ying Luofeng just wrote on his palm, "Don't you have a headache?"I'll give you a massage, and I'll prepare hangover soup in the kitchen. ]

"Okay... no, no, no, I'm much better now." Naruto, who was about to nod happily, could only force himself to shake his head aggrievedly when he noticed the growing chill. He did not ignore the sword being drawn outside the door. If she had nodded just now, she would have rushed in with a knife and cut herself into several pieces in the next second.

Ying Luofeng also noticed this, and could only raise her hand to press briefly for Naruto in a funny way, took the forehead protector, put it on him and tidied his golden hair.

"I'll go to the kitchen to get some hangover soup first." Naruto quickly leaned forward and kissed her on the face. He left there with satisfaction and avoided the sharp knife that flew over the next second.

Ying Luofeng just patted her slightly hot cheek, pulled out the knife and handed it to Wu who ran in angrily.

"Really! Sister Feng, don't indulge that fox boy too much! How much tofu has he rubbed against along the way!" Wu gritted her teeth and found that she couldn't defend herself and decided to solve the problem from the root. She turned around and rushed away with the knife in hand. Kitchen, "As expected, just drug him!"

Ying Luofeng watched her running over in amusement, and not long after, she heard a commotion in the kitchen.
