【Ming Zuo】Walking Alone in Darkness

At the next intersection, the two also bid farewell to Sakura.Naruto thought that Sasuke would accompany him home like when he was a child, but this time Sasuke didn't: "You go back first."

"Ah? Why? I said, Sasuke should come home with me."

Sasuke laughed: "Even if I'm fine, it's still your home. After dinner, I should go back to my own home. Besides, I have something to do today, and Shisui is leaving soon. I'll see him off."

Shisui brought the fainted Sasuke back for timely treatment. Naruto had a good impression of him, and immediately nodded when he heard it: "Shall I also send Shisui-san?"

"No, he is going to perform a confidential mission, the lower the profile the better, you go home first. Remember to put hot water in the bath, don't just wash it with cold water or leave it alone."

Naruto blushed a little, and shook his hand in embarrassment: "Hey, I know, I said, don't always treat me as a child!"

"You're older than before? I didn't see it." Sasuke wondered, "You fell on the bed the first day you got dirty, and if I hadn't kicked you into the bathroom the next day, you still haven't planned to take a bath, have you? "

Naruto covered his ears and yelled in despair: "Ah, stop talking! I'm going to go back and take a shower, Sasuke-sama!!"

Sasuke smiled lightly, turned to leave, but was hugged again suddenly, Naruto put his arms around his waist from behind, and kissed his temple with his head sideways.

"--Naruto!"

"Just a kiss, I won't be able to see Sasuke all night soon, it's weird."

"Why are you still clingy at such a big age!" Sasuke's ears were burning, he glared at him, turned around and directly flashed his hand.

Naruto hugged a branch that was unknown how many miles away, and laughed.

"Sasuke's shy look is really cute, I say."

After waiting at the old place where he made an appointment with Shisui, Sasuke still had to pat his face hard to let the heat off his face as soon as possible.

When Shisui came, he saw Sasuke patting his head dizzily, and thought he was sick.

"what happened to you?"

"Uh, it's okay, why are you here so late?"

"Spoken a few more words with Itachi." When mentioning Itachi Shisui, his tone became very gentle.

Itachi's strength and reputation in this life are far inferior to those in his previous life, and he hasn't even opened the kaleidoscope until now.Sasuke was also a little uneasy. After all, he is not Itachi and shouldn't make decisions for Itachi. He doesn't know if Itachi will be dissatisfied with his intervention.But just considering his own selfish thoughts, he wants Itachi to be like this.Like this, it's just an ordinary Jōnin, performing the tasks that ordinary Jōnin should do. It's ordinary, but it doesn't need to suffer too much pain.

"How is Itachi's health?"

"No problem." Sasuke also heaved a sigh of relief when he said this. Since he was reborn, he dragged Itachi to do a full-body checkup every year, using various excuses.After Sakura also started working part-time at Konoha Hospital, she entrusted him with full authority.He told Sakura all the symptoms of Itachi's illness that he knew in his previous life, and he actually found some early signs two years ago, Sasuke almost died of fright.But fortunately, it was discovered early enough to prescribe the right medicine. Itachi is also a very well-behaved patient, and his health has been well maintained in the past two years.It may not be completely healthy, but at least so far, it will not affect life expectancy if it is maintained like this.

Only Itachi's health allowed Shisui and Sasuke to reach a high degree of consensus.Zhishui asked some more details, and felt at ease.When Itachi detected the early symptoms, he didn't tell him at all, and Shisui pretended not to know, and communicated with Sasuke completely.

"It's good that he's fine." Shisui breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to Sasuke, "What about you?"

"Me?" Sasuke was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong with me?"

"You are too similar to Itachi's previous life now."

Sasuke was puzzled: "Where does it look like? You are all alive."

"I'm not talking about this." Zhishui sighed, "The group of people who have been suppressing the root these years, in order to avoid a big conflict, you have been using illusion to assist other gods to maintain it. After leaving with Orochimaru, you come back every few months. , it is necessary to use a high-intensity illusion, isn't this a big burden on you?"

Sasuke pressed his right eye, which is his only Sharingan left now.

"... These are Itachi's eyes." Sasuke said softly, "This is his eyes. So... I won't be blind. I'm already much better than he was then, the pain he went through... I can't help it at all. alternative."

Zhishui was not so optimistic: "But can your current body really withstand using the reincarnation eye like this?"

Sasuke didn't speak again.

Apart from Shisui, the only person who knows about Sasuke now is Orochimaru.Orochimaru also mentioned this question to him.

Sasuke raised his hand again and touched his left eye.

"Let's take one step at a time, and it's much better now, the illusion has stopped for a while." Sasuke said, "Don't talk about my business, talk about the business."

"Your business is the real thing." Shishui frowned, "Anyway, after the plan is successful, Itachi will know about these things sooner or later. If he finds out later that I let his precious brother do so many dangerous things, he may still harm his body. Cause permanent damage, can I still catch him?"

Sasuke became angry: "You really have impure thoughts, I felt that you looked at my brother in the wrong way when I was a child!"

"This is wronged." Zhishui quickly denied, "I was only a few years old at that time, and I was not as dirty as you think."

"Get rid of this idea as soon as possible, and I will warn you." Sasuke threatened, "You dare to attack my brother—"

Zhishui tilted his head: "Aren't you and Naruto the same?"

"I—" Sasuke choked, and even stuttered, "We—we are not in that kind of relationship now, and—"

"Anyway, sooner or later." Shisui spread his hands indifferently, and finally started to talk about business, "Obito finally showed up."

Sasuke felt uncomfortable, and still wanted to hate him.

Zhishui sighed: "Okay, I want to make a move now, but what I did is too dangerous, I can't say anything to him, if you want to be an evil aunt, you have to wait for me to come back after dealing with Xiao's affairs. "

Sasuke thought that at least she was an evil little girl, but after thinking about it, she was still wrong, so he let out a bah, and became even angrier: "Did Obito suspect you?"

"How could it not be possible? I have been suspicious for a long time. Anyway, we don't trust each other. Don't worry, it is still under my control. Including this return to Konoha, I also arranged it."

Sasuke nodded, to be honest, Shisui and Obito were not worried about Shisui at all...

No, he didn't mean to despise Obito on purpose.

However, Shisui has been partnered with Shisui for so long since Obito was a hooligan, and Shisui has done everything he should have done...

"They are already preparing to attack the tailed beasts. Akatsuki is in a team of two, and they spread out their actions. I can't stop them all. I have sent news to Yun Yin, Feng Yin, and Taki Shinobi Village, asking them to strengthen Take precautions, but it can only be done to the extent of human affairs. The current situation... It is impossible for the major ninja villages to achieve the kind of complete trust cooperation you mentioned."

"I can imagine." Sasuke snorted.He is not as kind as Zhishui. In his opinion, reminding him is the best of benevolence. The villages are self-styled and treat their own family Zhuli harshly. No one can blame anyone for something wrong.But he also knows that Zhishui has a kind heart and will try his best to help no matter what, so he won't say much.

"Still as planned," Sasuke said.

Zhishui nodded: "I will as soon as possible."

Sasuke remembered one thing: "By the way, look at the group of Didara and Scorpion. Are they moving?"

"It's hard to check too clearly. We can't contact each other unless there is a rally."

"Keep an eye on Gaara, they are in charge of Gaara, don't let Gaara get into trouble."

Shishui raised his eyebrows.

Sasuke glared at him: "What's wrong?"

"You didn't go into details, but it seems... Naruto had a good relationship with Kazekage in his previous life? Didn't you think you were the type who would help a rival in love?" Zhishui looked at him with a smile.

Sasuke didn't hold back this time, and kicked Shisui out: "What a mess, I thought it was just like you!"

But in fact, he knew that it was because of Naruto that he paid extra attention to Gaara.Last time Gaara had an accident, Naruto was in a hurry...he just wanted to avoid trouble.That's all.

"Okay, I know... I will definitely protect him." Zhishui patted the leaves and grass clippings on his body and crawled back, "My side is generally going well. Looking at the time, many tragedies that have happened have been prevented. It will happen again. The important thing is you, the situation in the village is much more stable now, pay more attention to yourself. If something really happens to you, don’t mention Itachi, I can’t forgive myself.”

Sasuke showed a little smile: "You put gold on your face if you miss anything, what's your business? Otherwise, let's change it, and I'll go to Akatsuki?"

"Then besides Itachi, another Naruto will kill me." Shishui said helplessly, "I should go, you know for yourself."

"Yeah." Sasuke nodded, "Be careful."

In fact, Sasuke's body does have some serious problems, and they have existed in previous lives.

He and Naruto abolished each other's dominant hand in the final battle, which was the part where the yin and yang escape chakra bestowed by the sages of the Six Paths was stored.So after that, the two of them could no longer use Yin Yang escape chakra.But Sasuke's reincarnation eye was opened because he got the Chakra of the Sage of the Six Paths. Although it can be used later, it is equivalent to losing the most powerful support. If it is not for its own strength, it is uncontrollable.

His death in the previous life was not unrelated to this.

After rebirth, although the existing chronic diseases of the body were also eliminated, it is a pity that he did not have time to give this young body too much rest. If it were not for the strong support of Chakra, his body could still grow into the current state. The look itself is a miracle.

In fact, Sasuke couldn't help but think that Naruto might indeed surpass his height in this life.

But these are less important.

Seeing Shisui leave, Sasuke also turned around and walked back, thinking, let Naruto eat ramen tomorrow, he has been talking about it for a long time... But he can't eat too much, three bowls at most, or he will have a stomachache again.
