Naruto: The secret in the wood escape barrier

"Brother! You are finally back, I miss you!" Sasuke shouted excitedly while hugging Itachi tightly.

Itachi smiled softly: "Have you practiced well recently? Let me see how much your strength has improved."

Thinking that every time he wanted his brother to accompany him to practice, he would be rejected. Today's brother's words were like a huge reward. Sasuke excitedly took his brother's hand and walked to the training ground.

Several shurikens accurately hit the bull's-eye. Sasuke happily wiped the sweat from his head and ran towards his brother.

"Well done, Sasuke," Itachi said to his brother with a smile.

"There is still a gap compared with my brother." Although Sasuke was happy, he still said modestly.

"Sasuke will do better in the future." Itachi encouraged him.

"However, it's not enough to be strong on your own, you also need to have partners who can support you."

Sasuke said "Oh" and remained silent.

"So, has Sasuke found a partner like that?" Itachi bent down and was eye level with Sasuke.

"Partner..." Sasuke thought seriously, looked up to the sky, then looked back at his brother and said, "It's enough for me to have my brother, I don't need other partners."

"But two days ago, I heard that Sasuke brought his friends back, didn't he?" Itachi looked directly into his brother's eyes.

"Oh, he's just my classmate." Sasuke replied.

"Is he just a classmate? But Sasuke invited him to his home as a guest, right? Ordinary classmates wouldn't do this, right?"

"That's because... I want to ask him to do me a favor." Sasuke said this with a guilty conscience.

"Since you are asking for help, shouldn't you thank them properly?"

"I wanted to thank him properly for coming...but, he shouldn't have walked away without even saying hello to me."

"Didn't he tell you when he left?"

"Yes, my father asked me to carry water, but my mother asked me to wait until they finished talking before going over. But when I went over, there was no one in the house. Later, my father said that he had something to do and went back early. "

"Oh..." Sasuke's words made Itachi understand that his father had indeed deceived him.

"Then what if he didn't go home?"

"He didn't come home?" Sasuke was stunned.

"Yes, he didn't come home. He was lost in our house."

"You said he was lost? Is he still at our house?" Sasuke didn't understand what his brother meant: "How is that possible?"

"His father said he didn't go home, and today, you should go to the ninja school, right?" Itachi asked him: "But why didn't you go?"

"Because mother said that father won't let me go to school these days -" Sasuke seemed to suddenly understand something.

"Brother, are you doubting that my father didn't let me go to school because he was afraid that Hatake's disappearance would be exposed..."

Itachi lightly patted Sasuke's shoulder.

"Father wants to hide this, but we can't. He helped you. You can't do this to him, can you?"

"Yes...but brother, I don't understand. Why would father do this?"

"Let's not discuss those for now. The focus now is how to get him back." Itachi stared into Sasuke's eyes: "Think about it, he hasn't eaten for so long, we have to hurry up, otherwise, He could be in danger."

"it is good--"

Itachi put his index finger on his mouth, making a silent gesture.
