[Naruto] Did the outdated idol die for love today?

Hearing her question, Uzumaki Naruto stood in awe.

"What? Sasuke said you can't eat dried bamboo shoots in ramen? To be honest, I don't like it very much..."

The blond boy scratched his face and laughed dryly.

"Hahaha, those terrible words... I must have heard wrong."

Sasami pointed at herself calmly, pursed her lips and said, "It's really weird."

"Dried bamboo shoots are really weird to pair with ramen..." Uzumaki Naruto nodded in approval.

"Well, can you let me get up first?"

His eyes wandered for a while, darting up and down and looking left and right, but he didn't dare to look at her face.

"I don't mean you are heavy, it's just this posture..." Something is wrong!

His voice gradually dropped.

The room was shrouded in misty darkness, and only her focused eyes could be seen, like the waves flashing in the river. This reminded Naruto of the memory of when they first met——

Nestled among the lush woods, the family emblem of the fan on the back of the girl's neck... and her frowning expression.

"Walk slowly. No need to thank me."

The red light passing through the Sharingan Eye was his last impression of her.

"...Naruto Uzumaki."

It was like yesterday reappearing, her voice flowing like spring water.

The next words, even though he had already received the previous round of mental shock, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"From the first day I came into this world, my hair stopped growing and my face never changed."

When she said this, the girl's face was calm, as if she was telling someone else's story.

Wouldn't that mean eating mermaid meat?

It turns out that it is the curse called loneliness. Naruto suddenly realized.

"But Sasuke asked me..." Sasami said, lowering her eyes.

Under the boy's blank gaze, she took his hand and placed it on her belly.

"Is it possible to create a new life here?"

Her tone became a little weird.

She probably won't.

Creating life is something that only God can do.

Time passed by fiercely on everyone, but it never left a mark on her body. It's more like a curse than a preference.

She is not a god, she is just a lonely person played by fate.

How could she have such ability?

"As a mature adult, I have to be reminded of the 'future' by Sasuke."

She concluded coolly, "I don't think I have a future."

"you……"

At this time, Uzumaki Naruto became uncharacteristically quiet.

"Are you... Sasuke's girlfriend?"

he said hesitantly.

"No."

The girl shook her head and frowned, as if she was deep in thought.

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief.

——He knew it! If she admitted this, then Sasuke would be another big step ahead of him in life.

He didn't like this feeling of not being able to catch up with Sasuke.

Another reason is... Naruto raised his eyelids and secretly glanced at the girl in front of him.

Fortunately, she didn't notice the glare.

"I just kept losing and becoming a person with nothing."

Sasami said calmly.

Why do all the loves we have die one after another?

Naruto found that the shining eyes were drooping down at this time, looking a little sad.

"Things you want to hold on to always keep flowing away..."

As she said this, her eyes stopped moving.

She thought of Izuna who was resurrected by Orochimaru, but her pale face disappeared in an instant.

Seeing the look on her face, Naruto's breath couldn't help but suffocate, as if a pile of feathers were stuffing his chest.

"If it doesn't work no matter how hard I try, what should I do?"

The girl finally withdrew her gaze, clasped Naruto's hand that was resting on her lower abdomen, and asked him the most crucial question.

Her eyes looked eagerly at him.

The boy's Adam's apple rolled.

How should I put it, this subtle similarity...

"I said, there are indeed some similarities, you two." He said pretending to be worried.

After he finished speaking, his blue eyes blinked rapidly at her like some cunning animal.

"It is difficult for me to understand Sasuke. It took me a long time to understand a little bit of Sasuke's pain."

"What's the use?" she said lightly.

Not caring about her negativity, Uzumaki Naruto continued: "It is because of that pain that he has to push people away over and over again. I always want to catch up with him, but always fail, that is, I have never been able to Something to grab onto.”

"and then?"

Sasami urged with a frown.

Uzumaki Naruto stood up from behind and continued to stare at her slyly, "Then..."

While she was listening in rapt attention, he grabbed her wrist and raised it high like a victory——

"Look, I caught it."

"Caught...?"

Seeing her surprised expression, Uzumaki Naruto's tone was more certain than ever before, "No matter how many failed attempts, as long as you catch it once, the probability is 100%. So I will succeed 100%."

"It's like I got you."

"The moment I catch you, isn't a new future born?"

"..."

"What childish words to say, Naruto-kun."

After a long silence, Naruto heard her chuckle.

"But, I no longer want to create new connections." Sasami said with a smile, "People will always die, right? I can't resurrect the dead."

"Then all the more reason you should catch me."

Naruto suddenly stood up.

"I'm super strong!"

He showed an exaggerated smile, put his wrist into the girl's palm, and closed her fingers again.

"Now, you hold the future in your hands!"

Sasami's hand was originally cold, but after doing this, it was actually infected with his own warmth.

Naruto solemnly promised her: "I am strong and will definitely become Hokage. I will never die. Please feel free to catch me."

"so……"

He said, grabbing her and stepping back.

"Don't go back again, that guy Madara is doing terrible things." Naruto paused, his blond hair shook a few times, and his blue eyes became extremely clear.

Another moment of silence.

Sasami suddenly turned to look at him, a familiar scarlet flashing in her eyes.

"You cheat!"

Naruto was shocked.

Before he could finish shouting, the girl was already standing behind him, and the touch on her wrist disappeared.

"Thank you, Naruto."

Behind him, Sasami said softly.

"Why is this..." The young man finally reacted, with a look of grievance in his eyes.

"Naruto is still a kid."

She touched her chin and looked out the window at the rainy night sky, "...It is precisely because of this that your words are enough to move people."

Uzumaki Naruto once again saw those bright dark eyes, staring at him intently as if staring at the whirlpool of love.

"I will consider your proposal carefully."

Immediately afterwards, his forehead seemed to be lightly touched by a branch with dew.

"...Goodbye. This is your good night kiss."
