Naruto: Fox and Cat

Itachi had already woken up, but as soon as he woke up, he had a fight with Sasuke. Although the latter was just complaining angrily, the former just closed his eyes and rested indifferently with an expressionless face.

Sasuke asked many times why he didn't tell him the truth, why he didn't take him with him, and why he had to bear everything by himself, but Itachi just kept silent with his eyes closed the whole time.Sasuke, who was sulking, kept sitting there, staring at him closely.

When Wu came down carrying a small fruit basket, he saw Xiang Lu and Sui Yue standing at the door with headaches on their faces, while Zhong Wu was expressionless as usual.

"What's wrong with you?" Wu looked at them doubtfully, wondering why they were waiting outside.

Suigetsu didn't hear her words at all, with an expression on his face as if he had seen a ghost, "Such a willful and impulsive Sasuke is definitely not the one I know... He actually makes a lot of noise like a child..."

"Hmph! I have completely lost the loftiness and pride I had before. I am like a little kid!" Xiang Ling pushed up his glasses, but he was so excited that he was a little irritable inside. [Wow! ! !This is the first time I see Sasuke like this! !so cute! ! !It's a pity that I was kicked out!Sure enough, I have to buy a camera next time, a camera! ! ]

"..." Zhongwu didn't express his surprise, he just stood there quietly with his hands folded.

"Speaking of which, people from Konoha were wandering around just now. Be careful when you go out. Remember to bring the sachet with you." After a reminder, Mai went in carrying the small fruit basket.

"The chakra I sensed outside the barrier just now is indeed from Konoha, and I also brought a dog." Occasionally, I went out to feel the surrounding fragrance and frowned slightly. After hearing the sound of the door closing, I suddenly came back to my senses and immediately He clenched his fists and looked at the door with gritted teeth, "Why can this woman go in openly?!?!"

"I'm a doctor after all..." Shui Yue rolled her eyes and decided to go to the inn to find a bottle of yogurt later.

"I also have the ability to heal, okay!" Xianglan said angrily, wanting to enter but couldn't because Sasuke said before.

Although Sasuke said he could let them move freely, he still felt uneasy.

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

In the room, Sasuke was sitting on the chair beside the bed, staring closely at Itachi on the bed without blinking, for fear that he would run away the next second.

Under the orange light of the oil lamp, Itachi was concentrating with his eyes closed.He was reading a book, but Sasuke forcibly confiscated his book because reading was bad for his eyesight.

Itachi originally planned to continue playing the cold and cruel role before, but Sasuke obviously knew the truth. No matter what he said, he no longer wanted to believe his cruel appearance.

In desperation, he could only remain silent.After all, he had frozen all his emotions on that night of genocide. Now when he suddenly saw his cherished brother looking at him with the same eyes as when he was young, he still felt uncomfortable.

This is the legendary...awkward~~~

Wu Da, who opened the door and came in, was so nervous that he didn't feel the obvious awkwardness. He closed the door and raised the fruit basket in his hand and said, "Itachi, I brought what you asked me to bring. And boy, your brother Have you taken your medicine?"

"Eat." Sasuke nodded, then frowned slightly and said, "And don't always call me 'boy', I'm not a child anymore."

"Young man who is younger than me, don't ask for opinions, boy~" Wu smiled proudly, and then handed him the fruit basket, "Here, here are the wooden fish rice balls and small tomatoes that your brother asked me to prepare and give them to you. of."

"Alas..." Sasuke was stunned for a moment, unable to recover. After all, those two were his favorite foods.

"That's not right!" Wu came to her senses and handed the fruit basket to Itachi who was concentrating with his eyes closed, "You should have given this to yourself~"

"..." Itachi was also stunned for a moment. He looked down at the basket in his hand and then at Sasuke, who was obviously looking forward to it but tried hard to pretend not to care about anything.

Wu looked at them, then quickly checked Itachi's body and then left, taking away the three guys who were still guarding the door.After all, she still needs them to find a way to lure those Konoha ninjas away.

What's more, it's better to leave some space for them now...

There were only two of them left in the room. After sighing silently, he stretched out his right hand and waved to Sasuke.

After a second or two, he paused, and suddenly remembered that Sasuke was no longer the kid who would run over to him whenever he waved, and who only had eyes for himself.And after so many twists and turns, it's a miracle that he is now willing to sit next to her and take care of her with an expressionless face.

But the next second, Sasuke made a move that surprised him.After moving the chair a little closer, he moved his face closer, closed his eyes and waited for something.

There was obvious shock on Itachi's usually expressionless face, and he kept waving for a while before he came back to his senses.After the corners of his lips raised slightly, he stretched out his index finger and middle finger together and lightly poked Sasuke's forehead, just like when he was a child.

The gentle movement didn't have much force, but it made Sasuke feel a little aggrieved for no reason. He closed his eyes tightly to prevent tears from falling. He just lowered his head and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "It hurts..."

The young man's tightly closed eyes were still overflowing with transparent liquid, no more, no less, just enough to moisten his eyelashes, but it made him feel a pain in his heart, and it even hurt so much that he felt like he had stopped breathing.

After making that difficult choice, he knew that he no longer had the qualifications and rights to protect him around him.Even if he was left in relatively safe Konoha, even if he was cared for by the Third Hokage, there would still be beasts with fangs in the darkness staring at his still young brother.

The only thing he can do is to make him become stronger by hating himself, strong enough to protect himself, but the people who want to kill the Uchiha clan are still watching, and even Approaching step by step.

After the death of the Third Hokage, the only protective umbrella in Konoha fell. Even if he appeared in Konoha in time, it was just a drop in the bucket and could not keep him safe at all.

Maybe he was really cruel back then, and it was because of his actions at that time that Sasuke went to Orochimaru.Although that guy has an ulterior motive, it is still a safer refuge than Konoha, and it can also make Sasuke stronger.

From time to time, he would send crows to check on Sasuke, watching silently as he became stronger step by step, although the motivation came from his hatred for himself.

However, seeing his increasingly cold and taciturn younger brother sometimes staring at the full moon at night with hollow eyes as if he had no soul always made him feel suffocated, but he could only remain silent and carry out the task. My own plan...

Looking at the full moon that was similar to the night of genocide, what was he thinking about...

His wandering thoughts quickly came back, and his eyes stared deeply at the young man who was somewhat similar to himself.His snow-white skin, handsome facial features, and his always cold and stubborn expression were extremely fragile at the moment, and his eyebrows and eyes were trembling slightly because he was trying to hold back tears, just like the little white dumpling he had been many years ago.

After putting the fruit basket aside casually, Itachi carefully stretched out his hand to wipe the moisture from the corner of his eyes, then approached and carefully reached out to hug him, with hesitant strength for fear of rejection, but more like hurting him.

The other person's familiar breath and familiar embrace made Sasuke stiffen, and his hands didn't know whether to push him away or grab him.After hesitating for a while, he carefully grabbed a corner of his clothes and buried his face in his arms.

I'm not weak, it's just because he's still injured that I didn't slap him away!

Itachi didn't expect that he would be hugged by him obediently. After his face softened, he gently touched the short hair. After slowly hugging him tightly, he suddenly apologized softly, "I'm sorry, Sasuke... "

The boy he was holding didn't react at all. After a long time, he let out a muffled groan.
