Naruto: Fox and Cat

When the eagle flew back to the back mountain of Shuanghua Inn, it was already after noon, and Ying Luofeng went into the underground base and wandered around to find the medical room.

Xiang Lu, Suigetsu and Chongwu were all sitting or standing guarding outside one of the rooms. When they saw her appearance, Xiang Lu was the first to shout out of temper, "Hey! Where did I say you went?! You actually directly You left us and ran away?! It took us a lot of effort to get rid of those guys who were chasing after us!"

"Sorry, I didn't know Naruto would catch up..." Sakura Luofeng was a little embarrassed, and then asked about the business, "Where are Itachi and Sasuke?"

"Inside." Xiang Ling raised his chin and pointed to the room, then said angrily, "I really don't know what you said to Sasuke. The person he always wanted to kill is clearly right in front of him, but now He kept staring at him with a heavy expression."

"Indeed." Suigetsu, who was carrying a beheading sword, narrowed his eyes suspiciously and spoke with vigilance, "The origin is unknown, the purpose is unknown, and there is no way to convince people. What on earth do you want to do to Sasuke? "

"Indeed." Xiang Ling also became vigilant and said with a frown, "Sasuke has become very strange now and feels very different from before. You must have done something to him!"

"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing." Ying Luofeng smiled and then opened the door and went in.

The only sound in the room was the sound of medical equipment operating, and the lights were dim but visibility was pretty good.Itachi lay on the bed with his eyes closed, breathing shallowly.The pale young man's long hair was spread down, and the two nasolabial folds on his face made him look a little older, but he still looked handsome.

Sasuke leaned against the nearby wall with his hands folded and stared at him. His face was expressionless and his eyes were calm. There was no trace of what he was thinking. There was a contemplative look on his face that was somewhat similar to Itachi's.

They are brothers, but they are also enemies. They are living quietly together in harmony at this moment...

Ying Luofeng saw this scene as soon as she came in, but she didn't say anything. After looking at Itachi who was still unconscious, she couldn't help but ask, "Isn't Itachi awake yet? Did I punch him so hard?"

Sasuke opened his mouth, but just let out a soft 'hmm'.He knew that the reason why Itachi hadn't woken up yet was not only because of his serious injuries after the battle, but more importantly, because his body was already seriously ill.

After pressing his lips tightly for a while, he turned and left without saying a word.

Ying Luofeng watched his figure disappear through the crack of the slowly closing door. After a moment of silence, she just walked to Itachi's bedside.

She closed her eyes and waited until the breath outside the door had faded away. Then she opened her eyes and said calmly, "Sasuke is gone."

The person on the bed remained silent, and Ying Luofeng was not in a hurry. She just found a chair to sit down, took off her cloak and put it aside.

After another period of time, Itachi opened his eyes without any emotion, forced himself to sit up slowly and said, "Sasuke knows the truth?"

"Well, it's just a transaction." Ying Luofeng nodded and did not elaborate. After all, Itachi would definitely guess what he said.

"I see." Itachi didn't bother to ask. After being quiet for a while, he continued to ask, "Have you untied the other gods on Sasuke?"

"Huh? What is that?" Ying Luofeng was a little confused and didn't know what he was talking about.

Itachi looked at her, knowing that she wasn't lying, and then just shook his head, "No, it's nothing."

Ying Luofeng tilted her head and asked a question, "What will you do next? Sasuke won't give up until he gets your answer."

After Itachi was quiet for a while, he said expressionlessly, "Just return everything to the time when nothing changed. The so-called truth is actually nothing more than a fact that has passed long ago. As long as the most important person denies it, then the truth will be It will become an illusion that is very close to reality. No matter what Sasuke knows, he still has hatred in his heart. After all, no matter what the reason is, I am the sinner who killed the entire clan. It is impossible to untie the knot in his heart so easily. .”

Ying Luofeng narrowed her deep black eyes, then smiled slightly, "I'm surprised, why did you tell me?"

"Everyone relies on their own knowledge and understanding, but is bound by it, and they call it reality. However, knowledge and understanding are very ambiguous things. That reality may be just an illusion. People live in their own minds. In consciousness." Itachi spoke without emotion, and after a pause he just looked at her, "Besides, Sasuke doesn't completely believe you yet. In other words, the peace now is only temporary."

"Oh, it's true. Human beings will subconsciously choose to deny and reject words that others have no evidence and whose truth or falsehood is uncertain, especially those that are closely related to themselves and subvert their usual cognition. But this is just a common problem among most people. That's all." Ying Luofeng said calmly, and then looked at the long-haired young man, "But, how do you know Sasuke won't believe me?"

"You're so suspicious." Itachi only said four words, but it made Ying Luofeng laugh out loud.

"Hehehe~~~~It's true~~~" Ying Luofeng didn't deny it. After laughing for a while, she just raised her eyebrows and said, "But no matter how suspicious I am, Sasuke still believes most of it, otherwise You won’t survive until now. Besides, you were also impulsive this time, and you actually wanted to destroy [Xiao] with a body like this.”

"A little bit, but this may also be one of the results you want." Itachi calmly said what was supposed to be a question in an affirmative sentence, without a trace of emotion in his dark eyes, "You know very well, if I If I know that someone else knows the truth about the Uchiha clan, then for the sake of Konoha and Sasuke, I will definitely not let him use that truth to lead Sasuke astray. Especially when that person is Uchiha Madara. And he is equally suspicious. Between the two of us, between you and Uchiha Madara, I would choose to deal with the latter."

"Then I have to thank you for not killing me." Ying Luofeng said with a soft smile. Her calm face showed no trace of any hidden plot. "However, for my sake, it doesn't matter this time. For the sake of saving you, the past things will be wiped out? Although I plan to use you to deal with [Akatsuki], after all, I know that they have targeted our family. But you won't suffer, right? At least Uchiha Madara is sure He really knows the truth, and he also plans to do what I guessed to Sasuke after your death~~"

Itachi just pursed his pale lips slightly and didn't refute anything, because that was the fact.

Originally, his body had already reached its limit, and that battle had almost exhausted all of his strength. He originally thought that he would not be able to fulfill his long-cherished wish and end his life on that pile of rocks.But he didn't expect that Ying Luofeng would appear and save him, and before handing him over to Konoha, he even met his brother who had been away for many years.

And all this is because of Ying Luofeng's help.Although she was suspicious, and although he didn't believe her, he knew that she would not hurt Sasuke.

Itachi slowly closed his eyes for a while, then opened them and said expressionlessly, "Make a deal with me."

"Oh?" Ying Luofeng smiled and narrowed her deep black eyes slightly, "Don't you not believe me? And you are not worried that I will be harmful to your dear brother?"

"Sasuke will not hinder you, although it may only be for now. In addition, you are very smart, and most importantly, you do not take sides. As long as it is a deal that is beneficial to you, you will agree." Itachi glanced at her. He glanced at it and said calmly, "You told Sasuke the truth because he helped you erase the research on the Sakura clan in Orochimaru's base."

"Oh?" Ying Luofeng raised her eyebrows, but there was no surprise. She just smiled with an unclear meaning, "What deal do you want to make with me? Do you want me to tell Sasuke that everything I said is a lie?"

"No, suddenly denying it now will only make people more suspicious. Cough cough cough cough..." Itachi suddenly coughed violently, clutching his lips tightly and his face was filled with pain, and bright red blood seeped out from between his fingers.

Ying Luofeng was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and took out a few tissues and handed them to him, and patted his back carefully, "Itachi, are you okay??"

"Cough cough cough cough..." Itachi continued to cough uncontrollably for a while, and a large amount of blood dripped from his fingers.The white paper towels soon became stained red, and there were also a lot of bright red spots on the white bedding.

Feeling that his consciousness was beginning to drift away with the severe pain, Itachi forced himself to stay awake, breathing heavily but his vision had begun to go black.

Ying Luofeng quickly wiped off the blood on his hands and face, and then carefully asked him to lie down, "You take a rest first, and we will discuss it when you feel better..."

"No..." Itachi shook his head weakly and took a deep breath before continuing to speak calmly, "I need your help to suppress Sasuke's chakra and then let me use a ninjutsu on him to return his memory to unknown When the truth comes."

Ying Luofeng's eyes widened slightly, wondering why he did what he did, "Why..."

Itachi looked at the dim ceiling, as if he could see the little dumpling who would act coquettishly to him many years ago.After the corners of his lips raised slightly, he spoke softly, "No matter what changes he has undergone, in my eyes, he is just a child who needs to be carefully guarded. He is my only brother, and I obviously need to protect him. But it can only hurt him severely and make him become what he is now... The person I am most sorry for is Sasuke..."

Ying Luofeng pursed her lips tightly for a while, then spoke in a low voice, "You can explain everything to him. It's not too late now, isn't it..."

Itachi just shook his head, with helplessness in his words, "It's too late. The gap between Sasuke and I is already too deep, so there's no way we can go back. The only thing I can do for him now is to end it with my own hands and give him hatred..."

"..." Ying Luofeng didn't know what to say, because she knew what Itachi's consciousness was.After being quiet for a while, she said softly, "But your current body is simply unable to fight another fierce battle..."

"I know..." Itachi didn't hesitate much. After all, he had already decided to die at the hands of his younger brother when he left Konoha.Although many changes have occurred now, the results will not change.

No matter how smart Ying Luofeng is, she doesn't know what to say. After hesitating for a while, she nodded, "I know, I will keep it a secret from Sasuke. But what if Sasuke knows about it later..."

"When everything is about to end, I will show him my memories, including the answers to the questions he has always wanted to ask..." Itachi didn't have much consciousness left, but he still tried hard to open his eyes.

"Itachi, even if you have calculated everything, don't underestimate your brother, he is no longer a child." Ying Luofeng spoke softly, with a sigh in her words, "You know, the human heart is the hardest to calculate. .”

"I know, but for me,..." Itachi's voice was erratic, but he didn't hesitate, "I was doing it for the village at first, but now it's just for my brother. No matter what, I am the sinner who killed my tribe. , even I can’t forgive myself…”

"But, if you die, the one who bears everything will become your favorite brother. Are you willing to leave him alone in this cold world..."

"I..." Itachi opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.Although I also want to be with him, but...

Itachi trembled slightly and raised his hands in front of his eyes, as if he could still see the blood-stained appearance from many years ago.He closed his eyes in pain and whispered, "Unfortunately, I don't have the qualifications..."

"..." Ying Luofeng looked at him for a while, and then just sighed, "I know, I will help."

"Thank you...Sakura Luoxue...I was in Yuyin Village recently...", the clear voice slowly disappeared, and Itachi, who had been trying to stay awake, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep that was almost comatose.

"..." Ying Luofeng looked at him quietly, and then changed the quilt that was stained with a lot of blood. After tucking the quilt, she said calmly, "You are indeed doing everything you can to protect me. I love your brother, but the way is too cruel..."

After a while, she stood up, put on her cloak and left the room. After closing the door, she turned to look to the left and said without any surprise, "You are indeed here, Sasuke..."

The young man leaning against the wall heard everything, but now he just lowered his head and covered his mouth with a complicated mood. Tears poured out uncontrollably and his body was shaking slightly.

It was the first time for Ying Luofeng to see Sasuke showing such emotions. After all, he had always kept all his emotions in his heart.Looking back at the closed door, she smiled slyly, [I didn't say anything, it was your negligence for not noticing that Sasuke was outside~]

Silently looking at the boy who was crying uncontrollably, Ying Luofeng suddenly remembered something. Her hands hidden under the cloak were clasped together, and a pale pink light flashed past.

After a long time, Sasuke calmed down, but he still lowered his head and remained silent.

Ying Luofeng, who had been standing aside, looked at him and then said calmly, "It's really surprising that you didn't rush in. I thought you would ask him directly."

Sasuke didn't answer, and the shadow covered most of his face.He didn't know why he had so much self-control and didn't go in, and he didn't know why he could stand outside and listen quietly to the conversation inside.

Ying Luofeng was a little worried about him, but she just waited quietly.Because she knew Sasuke would figure it out on his own, and what choice he would make next would be his own decision.

Time passed by, and I don't know how long it took before Sasuke spoke, but his usually cold voice was now a little hoarse from crying, "I really want to destroy Konoha, which has tortured him for so long, but If this is the case, everything Itachi has done will be meaningless...but..."

After a pause, he suddenly raised his head with clenched fists, and the red lines in his pupils resolutely turned into six-pointed stars, "Those culprits! I will never let them go!!"

"..." Ying Luofeng stared blankly into his eyes, not surprised by the murderous intent in them.After leaning forward to look at his eyes, she said in surprise, "Sasuke, your eyes seem to have changed, like flowers, so beautiful~~"

Sasuke was stunned for a moment, then reached out and touched his eyes.Although I feel that the power of the Sharingan has become much stronger, after the three magatama, it becomes the Mangekyou.The kaleidoscope can only be opened by seeing the person you love die in front of you. What is going on...

But the six-pointed star disappeared after a while. Sasuke was stunned for a moment, and after blinking in confusion, he looked at Sakura Luofeng who looked curious, "Feng, did you do something?"

"???" Sakura Luofeng asked with questions on her head, "Didn't you do something? I don't know how the Sharingan evolves..."

"But the Mangekyou Sharingan requires..." Sasuke didn't know what was going on. After all, there was no precedent for this.Moreover, although the power just now disappeared suddenly, he did not feel wrong.

"Now is not the time to think about these things. Anyway, just open it. Although it disappears, just practice hard~~" Ying Luofeng didn't take this weird thing to heart at all and stretched out her cloak. She patted his shoulder with her left hand and said with a smile, "But, what are you going to do after killing those culprits?"

"Rehabilitate Itachi!!" Sasuke's attention was instantly diverted and he spoke firmly, "Brother is perfect! Those unwarranted stigmas must be removed!"

"But Itachi definitely doesn't want you to do this."

"That's right, he only thought about the village, but never thought about himself..." Sasuke slowly clenched his fists, his voice slightly hoarse, "Perhaps if the truth is told, the Uchiha clan will receive a lot of criticism. But. For me, only the living are the most important. I...have lost everything..."

"..." Ying Luofeng looked at him silently, and then said, "However, even if it is revealed now, those high-level officials in Konoha will still deny it, and one or two witnesses must be left first."

Sasuke gritted his teeth and his face was gloomy for a while before he spoke viciously, "But that mastermind will definitely make him regret it!"

"Okay, let's not show so much murderous intent now." Ying Luofeng was a little helpless, and then got down to business, "What are you going to do about Itachi's decision?"

Sasuke was stunned for a moment, then slowly clenched his fists, and after a while he asked in a low voice, "Feng, how is Itachi's body..."

"I'm not a doctor, and I don't know. Didn't Feng Ruo say something?"

"After he finished the examination, he ran away with a serious face. He just told me that he was seriously injured and in poor health..."

"Well..." Ying Luofeng thought for a while and then said, "Wu should arrive today. Let her discuss it with Feng Ruo then. After all, I am not a doctor."

"Well..." Sasuke nodded, but his face looked heavy and sad.It was hard to find out the truth, and it was hard to be sure, but in the end, we were still destined to lose everything.

Maybe he was really confused and didn't know what to do.But he didn't expect Itachi to be so decisive, and even wanted to use the pupil technique to make himself forget everything he knew and return to his previous self that hated him.

Maybe Itachi wanted to use his own death to make up for his previous mistakes, but what to do next? ?Are you leaving yourself in this world with everything lost?How could he be so arrogant, how could he be so cruel...

Moreover, knowing everything, how can I be cruel enough to attack my brother who is dedicated to me...

Ying Luofeng looked at him and then said, "If you plan to do something next, think about it carefully first. After all, judging from Itachi's current state, he won't wake up for more than a week. The previous battle His body is too exhausted, and after waiting for so long, his energy is almost exhausted. During this time, there will be a way to do anything..."

"Um……"

"Besides, I believe that as long as you two brothers are together, no matter what is in the past or the future, we will be able to overcome the past."

"Well, I will face it with him this time. This time, I will protect him." Sasuke clenched his fists with determination on his face.

"Then I'll leave first. Take good care of your brother." After smiling, Ying Luofeng turned and left.

"Wind." Sasuke suddenly stopped her, and when she turned around, he said seriously and gratefully, "Thank you."
