Naruto the Cat and the Fox

After hearing the truth about Itachi told by Uchiha Madara, everyone present felt unprecedented shock. Even Darui, who is not a Konoha ninja, feels his heartfelt admiration for Itachi's sacrifice and decision, as well as the heaviness that is so oppressive that he is suffocating.

How can a person with such caliber be able to take on all this? How can he value his younger brother and pave the way for every bump in the road for him? Only then can he stifle his feelings and let himself choose. Such a road that destroys one’s true nature

"How is it possible for you to lie like this?" Sakura shouted emotionally, unable to believe what he said.

"How is this possible?" Yamato said blankly, with cold sweat breaking out on his face because of the shock.

"Stop joking, who would believe such a thing?" Kakashi, who had been maintaining Reiki, also said in a deep voice, unable to believe the too heavy truth.

"This is not a lie, this is the truth about Itachi." Madara Uchiha said calmly, his eyes always looking at Naruto who was silent in the wooden cage.

"But even if this is the case, why doesn't Sasuke come back to Konoha? Isn't that Itachi's wish?" Kakashi said in a deep voice, with confusion in his words.

"Return to the village that persecuted his family and drove his brother to a dead end, then forget all the past, and go to guard the village that suspected him, warned him, and even wanted to kill him. I think Uchiha Sasuke will feel it whenever he steps into Konoha. It’s so heavy that it’s suffocating.”

Sakura clenched her fists and said, "We will all help him. We will definitely make him feel the warmth of before."

"Ha~" Uchiha Madara just smiled and taunted inexplicably, "As Sasuke's friends and partners, you know how much he knows about him. Considering what you have done, it is nothing more than an obstacle to him."

"Obstruction." Sakura's face turned pale, and her clenched fists were trembling slightly.

"Sakura, don't be swayed by his words," Kakashi reminded her, frowning and speaking, "Besides, Itachi is still alive, isn't he? If what you say is true, then Sasuke should listen to him. "

"Maybe, I don't know what the two brothers are thinking about now." Then he just looked at the expressionless Naruto and said calmly, "It seems that you are not surprised at all, because you have known it for a long time. I thought you would yell impulsively?"

"Yelling won't solve the problem," Naruto said expressionlessly, "And I don't want to be treated like a child anymore. That kind of seemingly passionate but almost reckless impulse won't let me get it. Something I want."

"What you want," Uchiha Madara narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke with some interest, "Now that you are a hero of Konoha, it is not easy for you to get what you want. Is there anything else you can't satisfy?"

Naruto was quiet for a moment, then the corners of his lips slightly raised, and his eyes glanced at the motionless quilt in the corner.

"Forget it, it's none of my business anyway." Immediately, Uchiha Madara used time and space ninjutsu to disappear without waiting for others to react.

Darui couldn't help but frown when he saw his ability for the first time. He looked around cautiously and then put the long knife back.

Naruto pursed his lips tightly, then just lowered his head and remained silent. The second time I heard about Itachi, I could still feel the heavy weight that made me unable to breathe.

What will Sasuke think now? After learning the truth, how will he decide? Itachi is still alive, which may be the blessing among misfortunes.

However, that luck was not brought by me who had always threatened to take him back.Of all the things that happened, I couldn't do anything to help.

All the miracles were achieved by Ying Luofeng under unimaginable pressure and misunderstandings, and she never stopped even if she was hunted down by her former acquaintances.

and yourself

Naruto closed his eyes and silently took a deep breath to relax his heavy heart a little.

Maybe I should really think about how important Feng is to me, and what I will do for her.

Sakura sat down on the ground without any strength, her head lowered but her tears kept flowing down. Although I don’t want to believe what Uchiha Madara said, but if it is true, then what exactly did I do?

Because I like Sasuke, I want to protect him, but in the end, I find that I am just overestimating my abilities, and I have never even understood him from the beginning to the end.

His loneliness, his pain, his hatred, everything he carries, everything he has, he has never understood.

Only now did I realize that I was still so far away from him, and I still couldn't see the pain underneath his emotionless face.

Moreover, even in the last meeting, I didn't even notice that Sasuke's still expressionless face no longer had the coldness and cruelty before, only plain silence and vague happiness.

And all that was just because Uchiha Itachi was still alive. And all of that is a miracle created by Yingluofeng

I couldn't even see Sasuke's mood clearly at that time, no wonder Uchiha Madara said he was stupid.

Because Sai was a member of ANBU Gen before, he had seen a lot of things that were too dark, but even so, he felt heavy and admired everything Itachi endured.

In the end, did he choose to bear everything in order to let his favorite brother survive? Sakai looked down at the ground, but for some reason the corners of his lips slightly raised. Sasuke-kun, you have a very good brother. I don’t know why. A little envious

Shino and Kiba remained silent because they didn't know what to say. When they were young, they had not seen the dark side of Konoha. Although they knew that there were many ninjas silently guarding Konoha in the darkness, they did not expect it to be in this way.

How much ninja blood and sacrifices are their current laughing life based on? How much hatred has begun to breed in the darkness? And in what darker way is that hatred buried?

Although sometimes necessary sacrifices are unavoidable, there are too many dark methods used. When it breaks out, who can stop it?

Darui remained quiet on the side. After all, he knew that this was Konoha's private matter, and as an outsider, he had no right to interfere. But even if he had some doubts about Uchiha Madara, he still felt sincere admiration for the man named Uchiha Itachi.

This is the most perfect ninja that every hidden village wants. He is powerful and dedicated to what the village wants, and he also has wisdom and foresight that ordinary people don't have.

However, once such people become enemies, they will be the most troublesome.

Darui looked at the motionless bed and thought, if what Uchiha Madara said is true, then he is really curious about how the girl named Sakura Luofeng did all this. It's a bit incredible to reunite two brothers who were supposed to be enemies.

Sakura tried her best to calm down, then stood up suddenly and said anxiously, "Kakashi-sensei, let's go find Sasuke now. I want to see him right now."

"I understand how you feel, but being anxious gets things done." Kakashi jumped down from the roof and said to the group of people who remained silent, "Listen, what Madara said, we have to keep it secret first. It's confidential. Now the village is busy rebuilding and cannot create unnecessary chaos. Before finding out the truth of the matter, we cannot completely believe it. The Uchiha clan was wiped out and it was the upper management of Konoha who used Itachi. What we don't know There are too many things. Especially you, Naruto, you know."

"I know, but I believe it's true." Naruto said calmly, his calm look completely gone from his previous impulse, "I'm already dealing with this matter."

His words made everyone present look at him collectively. After all, not to mention when Naruto knew about this before them, just hearing Naruto calmly saying that he was dealing with the matter felt incredible.

After all, this guy should be the type who strikes first regardless of the consequences. The only way to clamor to bring Sasuke back is through action, that is, using brute force, not brain power at all.

Now seeing his mature and steady look, I feel a little scared, and then I start to wonder if he is really Naruto.

Kakashi-sensei remembered what had gone wrong when Naruto returned to the village, and then recalled Shikamaru's overly active behavior regarding Sasuke's affairs. He couldn't help but frown and asked, "Is this what you and Shikamaru are planning? This is too messy.”

"It's not a mess. At least I didn't rush directly to Danzo to settle the score or to explain things to Granny Tsunade."

"But why do you start planning how to solve this kind of thing that you don't know whether it is true or not? If it is true, the people in the upper echelons of Konoha will definitely not let it go."

"The evidence has almost been collected, Kakashi-sensei." Naruto said calmly, his eyes only firm, "For those at the top, it may lose some face. But, their face is not worth anything. "

"Naruto", Sakura stared blankly at Naruto who seemed to be a different person, unable to believe that this steady and confident person could be Naruto.

"", looking at this student who had become calm at some point, Kakashi sighed, pulled down his forehead protector to cover his left eye, and then said, "Even if what Uchiha Madara said is true, even if You have now begun to plan how to solve it. But the darkness caused by Konoha cannot be solved overnight. "

"I know, and I also want to be foolproof. Although it may take a little longer, I want to use my own hands to handle this matter." Naruto looked down at his hands and spoke seriously, " I said before that if you can't even bring back a companion, then you have no qualifications to be Hokage. But I don't want to just use brute force to bring Sasuke back regardless of anything. Although I don't know what his choice with Itachi will be in the future. So, but I want to turn Konoha into a home that they can come back to."

The blond boy's serious words were innocent, but his firm sincerity was conveyed to everyone's heart.

Perhaps it would be difficult for his words to come true. After all, the darkness that had accumulated since the beginning of the village could not be easily illuminated by the sun. But for some reason, I always felt that as long as the words he spoke, they would definitely come true.

Maybe it’s because of those eyes that always carry sunshine and hope.

Kakashi seemed to see the shadow of the Fourth Hokage in him, the same brilliance and the same determination. After clenching his hands into fists, he whispered to the student who had already made up his mind, "Naruto, you have to know that this is not an easy path to take."

"I know what to say. And that, Kakashi-sensei. Although the traditional methods have been good, ninjas are not tools. The Konoha I hope for, the Will of Fire I long for, is something that everyone can A place to smile heartily. Maybe this is naive, and I also know that sometimes some unscrupulous means must be used to solve things. But I don't hope that those means will lead to tragedy in the future." Naruto paused. , a bright smile that had not appeared for a long time appeared on his face, "Sometimes, change is also a good thing, Kakashi-sensei. I want to turn Konoha into a place that every ninja can call home." This is what a Hokage should do~~~"

Everyone looked at him blankly, as if it was difficult to connect those words with the seventeen-year-old boy in front of them, but he gave people a convincing feeling.

Sakura stared at Naruto and suddenly shed tears the next second. Naruto was silently trying to find a way to allow Sasuke to return to Konoha with peace of mind, but he acted without regard to anyone's last wishes. Maybe he was the one who almost caused a catastrophe.

Ya took a breath and suddenly said with a smile, "It's really hard to get used to seeing Naruto like this. But if Naruto really wants to do this, I will support you. "

"Woof woof", Akamaru also barked twice loudly, wagging his tail and looking at him.

Shino also nodded and whispered, "I agree, although there will be many unimaginable difficulties in realizing it, everyone will support you Naruto. After all, we are all partners."

Sai said with a smile, "If Naruto can become Hokage, he will definitely make Konoha warmer."

"Thanks.". Naruto smiled brightly, and the next second he formed a seal with his hands, "Then I will chase the wind now, and then go to Sasuke."

Before anyone could react, he disappeared in the smoke with a bang.

"Is it really the Clone Technique?" Kakashi sighed, then looked at the corner where there was a ball of quilt.

"Then I will send the news back to the main body first." Shino and Sai said at the same time. In the next second, one of them turned into a bunch of bugs and the other turned into a puddle of ink.

Ya, who didn't notice at all that they had changed into shadow clones, blinked his eyes, and then yelled directly, "You didn't tell me anything, ah, it's too much for me to not notice."

"", Sakura stared blankly, then reached out to wipe her tears.

"Oh, it is like this as expected." Kakashi rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and then looked at the only person who did not belong to Konoha, "Mr. Darui, what are you going to do?"

"I follow the Raikage's order to take care of Miss Feng. I have to find her now." Darui replied calmly. Fortunately, he had just sent a shadow clone to follow the person who escaped.

"Now we can only find Miss Feng first." Kakashi raised his head and looked at the ceiling with a hole, and then looked at the wooden escape user who had remained quiet.

"" Yamato felt horrified for a moment, especially when he saw the white-haired senior's only exposed eye curved into a crescent moon because of his smile.

As expected, Kakashi, who had no sense of guilt, said with a smile, "Yamato, I'll leave the repairs to the hotel to you~~"

"Yes", Yamato, who couldn't refuse, lowered his head and nodded mentally.
