[Hokage] One tit for another

"Sasuke, although I don't quite understand, I know that everyone is dedicated to the village." Naruto looked at me and said very seriously.The outline of his face has been blurred, and the shadows are overlapping and intertwined, which looks like a funny ball of wool, but I can almost imagine the resolute and serious expression on his face, perhaps frowning, slightly A little distressed, and those blue eyes must be shining in the flying dust, "Everyone...it's not like what you said. Every shadow is working hard to make people's lives better, It is because of them that the village can flourish and develop into what it is now...they are all beloved shadows."

I faced him impassively.

Why are these words spoken by Naruto?Those who should be self-defensive just let Naruto speak for them as a matter of course?

"Although I am an idiot, I think, if there were no three generations of grandpas and Tsunade's mother-in-law, then I, and many children in the village, would not be able to grow up like this. Konoha is a very good Don't... Sasuke think so?" Naruto's voice trembled, but it clearly penetrated the roar of Ten-tails not far away.

"When we were walking on the street and eating Ikraku Ramen... Sasuke was also happy, right?" In this land, it seemed that only Naruto's slightly hoarse voice echoed.He couldn't make any big sense, so he could only stumble and try to speak his mind.

Naruto forced a smile, looked straight at me and said, "I think this is what everyone sacrificed for."

As if he couldn't hold it anymore, Naruto took a step forward, approached me, and rested his head on my shoulder, his fluffy hair rubbed against my cheek, a little itchy.He whispered in my ear, "Hey, Sasuke, don't say that... okay? Everyone is working hard."

Yes, everyone is working hard, heading in that wrong direction.

But idiot Naruto doesn’t need to understand this, he just needs to continue thinking about his beloved Konoha, his Ikraku Ramen, and many happy things.

I pulled Naruto's head away from the socket of his shoulder, and said casually, "Okay."

Naruto's eyes lit up, and before he said anything, I turned my head to look at the shadows, and urged, "Hurry up and sign."

"Sasuke..." Naruto grabbed me anxiously.

"Naruto, no matter what kind of shadow they are. As long as a treaty is signed, peace will be guaranteed in the future." I slowly explained to Naruto, "Don't you want to end the war?"

"I'm not joking. If you sign, I will save them. If you don't sign, I will kill them and join hands with Madara." I paused, and concluded, "This is a threat."

Outright threat.

Don't try to let Naruto convince me, they can sit back and enjoy the benefits.Why can you get it without paying?

"But..." Naruto's intuition was wrong, he held me tightly, as if he was afraid that I would do something terrible if I didn't grasp it firmly, and then stammered for a long time before insisting, "This is wrong of."

Naruto seemed to have finally found the correct way of expression, he said loudly: "You are forcing this! The peace you get like this is meaningless! Obviously... there is a better way..." Naruto's voice dropped again , "Now everyone has formed an alliance. Even without this treaty, I believe it will become better in the future. I believe in the kages! They are all very good people. Sasuke, what you do will only make everything worse. Oops, no matter what, coercion and violence cannot bring true peace, and you are destroying the trust that everyone has worked so hard to build!"

The wind seemed to be blowing from a very far away place, carrying a faint smell of blood, as if it still had the dry smell of sunlight, but I couldn't tell the difference.Ten Tails was still growling.

After a long silence, under Naruto's Jiji gaze, I finally said softly: "Naruto, you believe it, but I don't."

This is the difference between us, Naruto can always trust others without hesitation, and I don't believe in these illusory things at all.

Just like so many times before, when he got close to me, he would be stabbed and used, but next time, Naruto would still believe in me, hug me, and hold hope in me.

And I was always the one who stabbed other people.

What's more, my violence and coercion will not bring peace.But the one who brings peace is not me, it's you, Naruto.

Just keep upholding that trust and peace will come.

"In this case..." Naruto paused, clenched his hands tightly, and his gaze was firm, "I won't let you do this."

He said seriously: "I won't let you join forces with Madara, and I won't let you force them to sign a treaty."

Those eyes seemed to be burning again, what color should they be?I don't know if it is as clear as the sky at this time.

I recalled Naruto's appearance, his shining eyes, and the golden hair that was curled up everywhere, like a cat with teeth and claws, and a bit like the Dodo I once raised.

It's strange how I keep reminiscing recently, I heard that people love when they get old... Bah!I'm not an old man who can only pick up newspapers with his reading glasses every day!My uncle is young and young, in his prime!

I simply turned to the shadows, raised my eyebrows, and asked, "Have you made a decision yet?"

"We won't sign!" Tuying said first, he and the others looked at each other, reached a consensus, and said firmly, "We can't accept this kind of treaty, no matter what you say, we will be ourselves, and we won't give up because of you." Shaken. We will stop you too, after all...we are shadows!"

"I don't agree either." Tsunade said slowly, "Sasuke, if you join forces with Madara, I will do my best to stop you."

What a bloody and righteous scene.Everyone is united, united, righteous, and ready to sacrifice to stop the villain who is trying to destroy the world.

The situation seemed to be clear in an instant, and everyone automatically and consciously divided the camps. Surrounded by the standard "good guy camp", I slowly looked around.Madara stood not far away, looking at us leisurely, as if he really had great expectations for me to jump back before the battle.

"Naruto, are you going to fight me?" I turned to Naruto and asked, a little headache and a little funny.

"Boss, there is always a way to stop you without fighting!" Naruto said stubbornly, he looked around and asked for support from the previous Hokage standing beside him, "Hey, isn't it?"

The first one to respond was Hashirama, who nodded in agreement and said loudly, "It is impossible to maintain such a forced peace for a long time."

The reaction of the first generation of Hokage was completely expected. He and Naruto are basically the same, and come from the same strain.

But some people are different, such as a certain big white fur collar.

I looked towards Tobima and said meaningfully: "Actually, some people seem to agree with my point of view, right?"

Apparently the older brother knew his younger brother's virtues very well, so Hashirama immediately turned to look at the younger brother beside him.

"Ah." Facing the resentful gaze cast by Zhu Jian, Feijian answered unnaturally.

But that's all, it's impossible for Mao Lingzi to stand on the opposite side of his brother.The next three generations of Hokage are probably the ones who know the most about the situation among the four Hokages. Since he came out and saw Orochimaru, he has stared at me with a heartbroken expression like a boy who has lost his way, sometimes mixed with extremely complicated feelings of guilt and embarrassment. have no choice.He does have a compassionate heart, just like he was willing to communicate with me on an equal footing when I was only seven years old, and reserved the Uchiha fiefdom for me, but the war is imminent, and all concerns will be put aside, of course he can't let me nonsense.

Not to mention the fourth generation, can the father not help his son?

Everyone seemed to stand in line quickly.

I ignored those insignificant people, just faced Naruto and said: "Naruto, you can't beat me."

It's amazing.

Although in the eyes of others, what I said is just nonsense, and Naruto's strength has long been different from what it used to be, but no matter whether it is the tail of the crane and the empress of the famous family in the past, or the current body of the sage and the blind Uchiha, For this, Naruto has always taken a natural and default attitude.

"Although I admit this..." Naruto smiled sarcastically and scratched his hair, "But I still have everyone, and we won't fight, Sasuke."

"You and Madara teamed up, it's just two people, do you think you can beat so many of us?" Lei Ying finally couldn't help but said.

so many people?

I raise my eyebrows.Indeed, the four Hokages stood together, with the breeze blowing, each of them had a powerful past. Although the five Hokages were seriously injured, they all gradually recovered and tried their best to stand up.And Naruto, and...Itachi.

weasel...

"Are you going to stop me, Itachi?" I finally looked at Itachi beside me and asked calmly.

It seems that this moment has been infinitely elongated. This may be just my illusion. It seems that even the ten tails have become very quiet, the wind has stopped blowing, the earth is no longer trembling, and there is no deafening roar.

Itachi was staring at me.

The violent lines in mid-air seemed to calm down for a moment. They bypassed Itachi, and there were blank spaces and swirling blackness all around. Only Itachi stood there, and I could see his outline. He put on the forehead guard again. , The soft hair hangs from the side of the cheek.The sun fell on his body, and the flickering lights and shadows intertwined, outlining his facial features.His smooth eyebrows, the light shadows at the corners of his eyes, the dark color next to the bridge of his nose, the indentation under his lips, and the sharp line of his chin.

I saw the complex patterns in Itachi's eyes flowing quietly like the moon reflected in the water.Obviously they are no longer the quiet eyes like midnight in my memory, they are obviously blood-colored hideous pupils, but they give me a strange sense of familiarity.As if the time had been reversed back to a long time ago, my figure was simply reflected in those eyes.

In fact, I know Itachi's choice.For him, the individual is always placed after the whole world.

He was able to kill his whole family for the village back then, and of course he can sacrifice everything for the world now.But it doesn't matter... I have already made perfect preparations.

Itachi smiled suddenly, those eyes seemed to be hidden behind the smile in a trance, and the shadows filled up again, blurring light and shadow.I only know that he seems to be smiling very gently, as if I put my cold little hand along his collar in the distant time, and he looked back at me, not angry, just smiling, with a little helplessness and kindness. indulge.

Then warm fingers stretched out and poked my forehead, which was quite heavy, and I felt a little pain on my forehead.

"Brother." Itachi said softly.He put his hand on my head, pressing it toward him so I could meet his eyes.

"Sasuke, you are my younger brother." Itachi looked at me and spoke slowly and clearly, as if he was afraid that I would mishear, "I will stand behind you whatever you want to do."

Ten Tails' tail fell heavily, and with a bang, the ground shook.

My eyes widened suddenly.

What are you kidding? !

What did this guy... say?

Am I hallucinating, or is the world crazy?

I'm under illusion?

The one standing in front of me is really Itachi?

"Do you know what you're talking about?" My ears were buzzing, and the lines started to go wild again. Standing in the snowstorm, I couldn't tell up, down, left, and right, so I could only ask blankly.

As if seeing my doubts, Itachi smiled lightly, with some bitterness in his voice: "Sasuke, I have done many things wrong in the past, and now I don't want to make any more mistakes."

wrong?

wrong? !

No!Itachi did nothing wrong.The only thing he was wrong about was that he shouldn't have hit me. I've always held grudges, but is it a serious matter for my elder brother to beat my younger brother?

If he is very concerned, at worst, I will call back when I grow up?

I know that although Itachi is arrogant and self-willed, authoritarian and rigid, his choices can never be regarded as wrong.

How can there be so many right and wrong in this world?

A hand quietly held my hand, that hand was very warm, with hard calluses, opened my tightly clenched fist bit by bit, then reached in, held me tightly, and met my palm stick.

My hand was cold, with greasy sweat, but the hand I stretched out was dry and warm.

"Sasuke." Itachi grabbed my hand solemnly, just like countless times before, he firmly held hands with me to go home, he looked at me, his voice was quiet, "From the very beginning, you are the meaning of my existence .”

Itachi said... I am the meaning of his existence?

I... am... the meaning of his... existence?

I?

Is that who I am?

Can it also become the meaning of existence for others?

A great sense of absurdity filled my mind, and I finally came back to my senses, trying to shake off those chaotic lines.I stared at Itachi in disbelief, as if Uchiha Itachi had suddenly turned into a squeaky mouse.I belatedly realized that I was clenching my teeth, my head was rumbling like steam roaring, and my whole body was tense.Those thick black lines screamed and whizzed past me like crazy, as if everything dormant around me was excited to move, and the darkness surged.

Is it moved?excited?happy?

No, it's anger.

The kind of anger that wants to kill.

"You're crazy." It took me a long time to squeeze out such a sentence from between my teeth.

You stop fucking kidding me!

I think my face must be terribly distorted, because I can't wait to jump up and bite Itachi's throat hard, so that he can't say such nonsense anymore, let his head clear up, let this stand in front of me pretending to be Uchiha Itachi's counterfeit go to hell!

But my ability tells me that he is Itachi, the proudest eldest son of the Uchiha family, the annoying man who made me call him brother over and over again, the genius who sweated and trained countless times, the executioner who killed the whole family, That... Uchiha Itachi who has been silently sticking to the principles and has righteousness in his heart.

Itachi, stop fucking kidding!

You are the Uchiha Itachi who carries righteousness on his back and holds the whole world in his heart.How could you stand by me, you said, you want to help me destroy the world?

Itachi Uchiha wants to destroy the world because of one person.

This is the biggest joke in the whole world.

Stop it.

The Itachi who no longer insists on protecting the people of the world is no longer Itachi!

A man must have principles and persistence.

If you completely gave up all your persistence just for me, where would you put your dignity and pride?

Uchiha Itachi has never been a weak person without principles.

The Uchiha Itachi I know, my older brother, would never make such a playful choice!

My elder brother can never be the person in front of me who says he wants to help me!

"You don't have to do this." I shook my hands violently and said coldly, "You do your thing, and I will do mine."

Brothers don't have to stand together, standing at the two ends of the world is also very romantic, Uchiha Itachi!

"Your business is mine." Itachi held my hand tightly, not letting me shake it off. He said it seriously and firmly, without any trace of joke or deceit.

He's serious... He really wants to help me, even if it's against the whole world.

stop fucking kidding...

I turned my head away and closed my eyes.

Terrible……

Itachi is really scary.

I almost shuddered.

For a moment... I really wanted to give up.

I actually really thought of giving up the possibility of doing this, and the next seat apologizes to everyone.
