I, who was determined to stay in Naruto, became the white moonlight

Itachi Uchiha was both eager to learn the severity of the price, but also terrified to learn how much his aunt had paid.

His shoulders trembled unconsciously, and the tears that he had been suppressing finally fell vertically at this moment, hitting the table heavily.

One by one, filled with pain and regret.

Did your aunt always come here like this before?

Pay the price, go back in time, and change the fate of the Uchiha.

After returning, not only did he lose all his memories, but he also had to experience the Uchiha's path to a coup again.

Having lost her memory, she ignorantly returns to the past again and again, obsessed with realizing Uchiha's happy ending.

Finally, the Uchiha really changed for the better.

But what about her?

She was forgotten by the Uchiha who should have remembered her the most, her figure was ruthlessly wiped out by the fate of history, and finally, she was deceived by her own memory.

Even Uchiha Itachi wanted to ask for her, why did she have to pay such a heavy price? !

Everything she did was not for herself, but for the Uchiha. If there was really a price to pay, why couldn't she let them come!

Uchiha Itachi's collapse was silent and powerless.

The only sound in the silent room was his uncontrollable sobbing.

Uchiha Fugaku, who was sitting opposite, did not say anything else. He remained extremely calm from beginning to end.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, he could be described as cold-blooded. Not only was he not moved at all when his sister returned, he even prevented his tribe members from keeping her.

But only he himself knew how much willpower he had to suppress the idea of ​​keeping her in front of his tribe members.

As captain, he must lead by example and remain calm.

As the patriarch, he must consider the overall situation and assess the situation.

However, as an older brother, he just wanted to keep his sister.

In his deep eyes, which have experienced many vicissitudes of life, anyone can be reflected except himself.

This was perhaps the first time in all these years that he felt overwhelmed by the responsibilities he had to bear.

Behind the not-so-heavy sliding door, Uchiha Sasuke was leaning against the door, eavesdropping on their conversation.

Hearing that they had nothing else to say, Uchiha Sasuke left the place in a daze, took bigger steps, and ran back to his room.

The moment the door closed, Uchiha Sasuke slowly slid down against the door and sat on the ground.

So... the Uchiha clan genocide really happened...

It wasn't his dream...

There was also a coup d'état, and everything the Sharingan saw actually happened...

His self-proclaimed clever brain was a little confused at this moment.

The scene brought by the first Sharingan is already blurry. He only remembers that the Uchiha clan was exterminated and he was the only one who survived.

At that time, he hadn't even graduated from school.

Endless despair and pain shrouded his life, and he was blinded by hatred, which was particularly unfamiliar to him now that he had a happy family.

It shouldn’t be like that…

That was not his life...

His real life should be that he has a gentle mother and a strict father from childhood to adulthood.

As long as his brother was not busy with his work in the Anbu, he would accompany him. If he wanted to do something at the moment, his brother would hardly let him wait until later.

But is all this happy and fulfilling life achieved at the price paid by Haruko Hayama?

Uchiha Sasuke lowered his head, his face full of confusion.

The visual and psychological darkness swallowed up everything, and in this huge world, it was so quiet that it seemed as if he was the only one left.

Suddenly, he seemed to have become his seven-year-old self.

After experiencing countless blood and terror on the way home, he locked himself in a dark room, curled up and dared not open his eyes to accept reality.

All kinds of complicated thoughts tightly entangled him, making him on the verge of suffocation.

Uchiha Sasuke came to his senses, gasping for breath as if he had escaped a tragic fate and survived a calamity, and his already pale face became even paler.

That’s right…that’s not his life…

His life has been changed...

His life...has been changed by Haruko!

This realization shone with light, dispelling all the gloom lingering around him, and Uchiha Sasuke stretched out his hand to support himself and stood up.

Unable to suppress the impulse and eagerness in his heart, he quickly walked to the window and pulled open the curtains with both hands.

Under his violent force, the curtains flew apart on both sides, revealing the bright moonlight pouring down on him.

Uchiha Sasuke was not attracted by the moonlight. He took a step and jumped out of the window.

Flying over several rooftops, he rushed towards Haruko's home.

It was the middle of the night and there was almost no light along the way except for the street lights.

Soon, he arrived at the familiar house as he ran.

In the morning, Haruko's room was on the second floor, and there was a roof just outside her window, which made it convenient for Uchiha Sasuke to land on it.

Maybe it was a little hot tonight, so she didn't close the window and just casually pulled the curtains.

Through the half-drawn curtains, Uchiha Sasuke was able to clearly see into the room and see Zaoma Haruko sleeping in the bed.

She closed her eyes, her fine eyelashes drooped softly, her cherry-red lips lightly pursed, and her shiny black, soft long hair tangled around her, revealing the youthfulness and cuteness unique to a young girl.

The peaceful and harmonious scene calmed down Uchiha Sasuke's chaotic heart.

He unconsciously moved closer, gently raised his left hand and placed it against the glass window, just enough for his fingertips to touch her face.

Suddenly, Uchiha Sasuke recalled the feeling of touching her forehead.

Unlike the cold and hard windows, she is warm and soft, with a faint sweet fragrance, tempting you to explore deeper.

Maybe he was too impulsive... What else could he say when he came to see Haruko Hayama?

Thanks?

But she didn't remember what she had done at all.

Want to talk?

But he already has the happiest family.

Sad?

But what right did he have to feel sad for her?

The white palm placed on the glass window was slightly bent. Uchiha Sasuke concealed the sadness in his eyes, withdrew his hand, and took a step back.

After creating some distance, he did not leave immediately.

Instead, he stood there, tracing her graceful face over and over again with his eyes.

"Sasuke Uchiha."

The sudden sound aroused Uchiha Sasuke's vigilance.

He turned his head and looked at the long-haired boy who was also standing on the roof opposite him.

Bai was wearing pajamas, still with a smile on his face, but it looked a little fake.

"Isn't it inappropriate to come to Haruko in the middle of the night?"

Uchiha Sasuke sneered, without any sense of embarrassment of being caught, and his unique sharp temperament was rekindled.

"Why don't you think about yourself? It's not appropriate to live in Haruko's house all the time, right?"

Bai's smile remained unchanged, and he replied calmly: "It was Haruko who gave me a new life, and I should repay her for my whole life."

He emphasized the word "a lifetime", and under Uchiha Sasuke's unfriendly gaze, he added the next sentence as if on purpose.

"Even if it means sacrificing myself, I am willing to do so."

The vague "self" is not sure whether he refers to life or something more subtle.

Uchiha Sasuke, who had never thought about love, could not understand the deeper meaning of his words, and was only annoyed by his falsely gentle face.

He frowned, put one hand on his waist and sneered.

"If you like to act pitiful, why don't you wag your tail at me?"

The smile that Bai had always disguised as was disappeared in the face of Uchiha Sasuke's merciless and harsh words.

Bai had a cold face and took into consideration that he was Haruko's teammate in the morning and did not make any attacking gesture.

"It's time for you to leave."

"You don't need to tell me."

Uchiha Sasuke turned his head and looked at Hayami Haruko in the room with eyes that had lost all their coldness.

After watching for a few seconds, he left under Bai's vigilant gaze.

Seeing the annoying figure in the distance disappear, Bai's sharpness faded away and returned to his usual gentleness.

After standing still for a while, he silently walked to the window of Haruko Zao, stood in the position where Uchiha Sasuke just sat, and looked deeply at the sleeping girl.

He looks rather feminine, and even when he goes out wearing men's clothes, many people still mistake him for a girl.

He didn't mind it before, and besides, misleading others was more beneficial to his mission.

But...it's different now.

He didn't want to be mistaken for Haruko Hayama's sister when he went out with her.

In other words, he didn't want to be recognized as her brother.
