Naruto, Time of Dawn

Xingxingxiangzhu reminds you: Please bookmark () after reading, so that it will be more convenient to read again.

Naruto looked at the windbreaker in his hand, and all kinds of questions flashed through his mind.It took me a long time to reluctantly turn my mind and attention away from this "insignificant" little thing.

Yes, regardless of whether Sasuke was away yesterday or not, he shouldn't hesitate in the slightest.

Naruto rolled the two windbreakers into a ball and kept them aside, then turned on the Slug Sage mode to allow his body to recover faster. At the same time, he manipulated the power of nature to stimulate his chakra source and accelerate chakra recovery.Being so familiar with the road shows that this guy often uses this unconventional method to speed up the recovery of chakra.

'With his attitude of using the Immortal Human Body to cause chaos, if the Immortal Human Body is no longer used, he will definitely have to stop eating! '

In the conscious world, Kyuubi, who was still asleep, severely despised Naruto's behavior. In the end, he simply turned a blind eye and let himself fall asleep completely.

………………

When Sasuke returned to the cave, he saw light green patterns appearing in the corners of Naruto's eyes. For a moment, he was not sure of Naruto's current situation, so he had to stand there and wait for an opportunity to act.

'Is this... coming? '

Even though he had guessed that Sasuke was nearby, Naruto didn't know how to explain it for a moment, and it was inevitable that he would be upset.In desperation, he had to stop, opened his eyes and took back the slug fairy's body.

"came back."

He tried his best to control himself and pretended to be nonchalant, but his eyes could not deceive others.The panic in his blue eyes was clearly visible in Sasuke's eyes.

"Ah."

Sasuke nodded slightly. He didn't want to push Naruto too hard, so he didn't ask anything. He walked directly to the place where the fire was lit last night, set up firewood, and lit the fire by himself.

"I caught some fish, can I grill it?"

Sasuke asked with his back to Naruto, his hands were not idle, it seemed that he was all ready to grill the fish.

"Um... ok."

Naruto was stunned and immediately agreed to Sasuke's proposal.

He originally thought that Sasuke would ask him what happened yesterday, but fortunately, Sasuke didn't ask anything, otherwise he really didn't know how to explain.

Suddenly there was an awkward silence in the cave.Everything around him was extremely quiet, which made Naruto very uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to break the silence.

"Are you feeling better?"

Even though his back was to Naruto, Sasuke could still feel Naruto's discomfort and spoke to break the uneasy silence.

"Well, if we're in a hurry, we can go back now."

Naruto was not exaggerating.The slug sage mode is not inferior to the toad sage mode by even half a point, and the self-healing power of the slug sage mode is more than several times that of the toad sage mode. In addition, he has been using the power of nature to stimulate his own chakra source, and he has truly recovered. It's almost done.

"There's no rush. Nissan and the others can see that nothing will go wrong with Li Xiao. You should have a good rest first."

Sasuke flipped the grilled fish in front of him, a little anger flashing in his eyes like midnight.

He was indeed angry.He was angry at the idiot Uzumaki Naruto. He didn't understand why this idiot could be so careless about his body. He was still in pain last night. Did he forget everything today? !

"Oh."

Naruto responded.

If Kyuubi hadn't already fallen asleep holding its nine fluffy tails, he wouldn't be able to disturb him, otherwise he really wanted to wake up the stinky fox.Ask him what happened last night when he was unconscious!

The awkward atmosphere around him didn't seem to be alleviated by Sasuke's words, but instead made the embarrassment more conspicuous.

Sasuke thought that since the dull atmosphere could no longer be changed, it would be a good choice for him to change the topic.

Sasuke turned over the grilled fish in his hand and asked, seemingly unintentionally: "Why did you say that only I can save Li Xiao?"

In fact, he wanted to ask this question yesterday, but after hearing about Naruto, he threw the question out of his mind.If it hadn't been for the deathly silence just now, he might not have thought of it until after he reunited with Itachi and the others.

He waited for a long time but did not get an answer, so he had to urge: "What? Is this question difficult to answer?"

"……no."

Naruto walked to the fire, squatted down, and watched the dancing flames in front of him in trance.

Even though he didn't see Sasuke's expression, he still had some understanding of Uchiha Sasuke.So he knew very well that if he couldn't give a reasonable explanation, this person would definitely not give up.

"Have you ever heard of the power of the sun?"

As he spoke, Naruto stretched out his left hand, palm facing up, and a ball of golden, vital energy gathered in his palm.

Sasuke raised his eyes, golden light reflected in his black eyes, and asked with confusion: "Is this it?"

"Yes." Naruto nodded and said: "People from the Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan are born with this kind of power. The difference is just the purity and the amount. That child Li Xiao is born with deficiencies, but he has a terrifying amount of Yang power in his body. He needs A large amount of Yin power is used to neutralize it, and Yin power has always been the unique power of the Uchiha clan. Your Blood Successor Sharingan comes from this."

"Where did you hear this?"

Sasuke shifted his gaze to Naruto, his eyes were unusually calm and seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

"Xiaojiu told me."

Naruto took back his left hand and dispersed the energy in his palm. He didn't dare to look into Sasuke's eyes anymore. He was obviously lying.

After a long time, Sasuke sighed softly, and said with a little helplessness and unobtrusive tolerance: "I know, when you want to say it, I will always be here."

How could he not see that Naruto lied?It's just that over the years, the idiot crane tail of the year has become shrewd.What you say is half true and half false, and you can’t believe it all.

"You will have a good rest for a while." Sasuke handed the fish he had tested in his hand to Naruto and said: "Kyuubi told me that your medical ninjutsu is good, and you also have a complete immortal body that can repair itself. In this case, take good care of yourself. body. You don’t have to always take your body seriously.”

After saying that, Sasuke stood up, walked to the edge of the stone platform, picked up the ANBU windbreaker that Naruto had thrown carelessly earlier, and spread it on the stone platform.

"I'll take a look around, just call me if you need anything."

After saying that, Sasuke lifted his legs and walked out of the cave.He understood that staying with Naruto without anyone else would make him uncomfortable, so he simply asked to go nearby to have a look, so as not to delay Naruto's treatment of his injuries.

"Wait a moment!"

When he was approaching the entrance of the cave, Naruto stopped him, pulled out the grilled fish stuck next to the fire and handed it to him.

Sasuke took the grilled fish from Naruto's hand, his expression was absent-minded for a moment, and he almost couldn't control himself and took this man into his arms.God knows how much he misses this person!But he did nothing, just looked at Naruto quietly, his expression gentle and struggling.It took a long time to get out of the cave.

After watching Sasuke leave, Naruto eliminated the grilled fish in his hand three times and then began to sort out his meridians with wood attribute chakra.

This time he miscalculated, but the moment he saw Hei Zetsu he really couldn't think calmly.Just like that time when he forced his way into Akatsuki's base camp, if Xiaojiu hadn't caught him in time and if he hadn't happened to meet Mr. Nobi, he would have been a corpse by now!But that time, Li Xiao was scared to death. It was really...

Naruto sighed softly, looking doting and a little helpless.Although the child was just an accident, he really cared about the child.Only now did he take such great pains to protect and cultivate it.

………………

Sasuke stood at the entrance of the cave, hiding all the chakra and aura on his body, otherwise he would not dare to stand outside the cave so openly.He felt Naruto's chakra carefully.It was still as gentle as the warm spring breeze in his memory, and he couldn't help but immerse himself in it.

Naruto, I still have a lot to say to you, and I still have a lot of questions I want to ask you for confirmation, but I don’t know where to start or where to ask.

I want to know how you are doing these years, but I know you are not doing well.I want to know the child's life experience, but I know you won't tell.I want to know what you have been through over the years, and I don’t want to miss any of it. However, I know that I have no reason or position to question you.

Naruto, my idiot idiot.Will we be like Manzhu Shahua on the banks of the Santu River?You are here, but I insist on leaving, but when I look back, you are leaving.

Inside the cave, Naruto's expression flashed slightly.It was obvious that the people outside the cave were a little out of control, and it only took a momentary mistake for Naruto to capture his chakra.

Naruto was overwhelmed by the realization that Sasuke had been guarding the outside of the cave.

He was once the second-generation leader of the Ninja Sect. He had "friendly talks" with all kinds of people with bad intentions, and he had preserved the Ninja Sect's only pure land in those troubled times.He can be regarded as someone who has read countless people, but no one has taught him how to deal with such a contradictory and complicated relationship with Sasuke.

Now he can't even see clearly what the relationship between him and Sasuke is?

A stranger?friend?Or an indispensable companion? !He didn't even know how to face the man he had been chasing for nearly six years.

After a long time, Naruto slowly spoke and said, "It's cold outside."

It is now October, which indicates that this year's autumn has come to an end. However, with the natural and man-made disasters coming this time, it is not known whether those families with bright smiles can survive this severe winter safely.

Sasuke was startled, and tiny stars flashed across Midnight's eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking.

His ability to conceal his aura was extraordinary, even Itachi found it difficult to detect it.How could Naruto find out?In the end, he thought about the meaning of Naruto's words, and it was obvious that he cared about him.This made him unsure of Naruto's meaning for a moment.After all, Naruto was kind, he always knew it.Then what kind of psychology does Naruto's concern for himself come from?

Seeing that Sasuke didn't move, Naruto planned to leave it alone, but after a while he found that he couldn't calmly adjust his state and was always inexplicably irritable. In this state, he would be a fool to think of alienating his own meridians. Things to do!

Helpless, he had no choice but to stop and press his temples hard to relieve his unreasonable irritability.

In the end, he couldn't help but appeared in front of Sasuke and said in a hateful voice: "Do you want to freeze yourself to death or something?! Don't tell me that the injury on your back has healed!"

Although Sasuke's recovery power is a little stronger than ordinary people, how can he be completely healed after only two days? !

But Sasuke still didn't say anything. His black eyes were filled with confusion, but it made Naruto feel like he was being seen through.But he wasn't the kind of person who would flinch casually, so he simply stared back, as if he was competing with Sasuke to see whose eyes were bigger.

"……why?"

Sasuke's cold voice was like a wisp of gauze, caressing his ears softly, like a question or a sigh.

"what?"

Naruto didn't understand what Sasuke wanted to say, so he had to ask back and throw the question to Sasuke.

"It's nothing."

Sasuke moved his somewhat stiff body and turned around to approach the cave, but stopped at the entrance, hesitating whether to speak.In the end, he just sighed softly: "Naruto, if you like Konoha so much, you will definitely not leave."

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then smiled in relief and said, "Sasuke, people will grow up and will not just stay in one place."

Yes, people will grow up, and new ideas and pursuits will continue to emerge.The place where people can stop forever is their destination, home, and the place where the people they miss are.But now, Konoha is not his destination, nor is it suitable to be his destination.Maybe he once regarded Konoha as his destination, but he couldn't stay there, and it wasn't the place he yearned for now.

"But you asked me to come back!"

Sasuke is so smart, he naturally understands what Naruto means.He seemed to be accusing and venting his dissatisfaction.

"Naruto, if Konoha doesn't have you, then why should I go back?"

Hearing Sasuke's answer, Naruto opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, so he only said one sentence in the end.

"Sasuke, where is Itachi."

After finishing speaking, they still just stood there, saying nothing and doing nothing.Time seemed to have been paused.The surroundings were extremely quiet, and one could only hear the other party's shallow breathing.

"Naruto, I just hope you understand one thing."

Sasuke looked at Naruto with indescribable determination in his dark eyes.

"There has always been only one person who can keep me. And there is only one person I want to reach. But that person will not be Itachi or Konoha."

After saying that, Sasuke walked straight towards the cave. The indescribable loneliness and desolation in his back made Naruto feel like he was facing the abyss.

The dark, bottomless abyss always has a fatal attraction, making people want to explore it but are discouraged at the same time.

Sasuke, if Itachi can't make you stay, then what can make you stay?

You said there is only one person who can keep you, and there is only one place you want to reach.

Then...who is that person?Where do you want to go?Sasuke Uchiha.
