[Hokage] One tit for another

That was probably Naruto's happiest time, and when Naruto recalled it later, he couldn't find anything happier than that.Maybe this is why everyone recalls their childhood?

Naruto goes to school with Sasuke every day.Sasuke thought Naruto was great, and gradually, Naruto himself believed it.What Sasuke said was always right, Naruto found that he had better physical strength than other students, even if he was tired, he would recover quickly.He has a lot of potential and all he needs to do now is find a way to tap it.

Naruto thought of many ways to practice, and he also developed many hobbies other than ramen.

Naruto also started trying to dress up and decorate his small apartment, trying to find things he liked.Sasuke never really laughed at him, on the contrary, Sasuke really admired Naruto's taste.

Naruto was fascinated by the art of spray painting. He first painted on the outer wall of Ichiraku Ramen, and both Uncle Ichiraku and Sasuke expressed their support for this.So Naruto developed more inkjet locations. Although many people don't understand him, Sasuke can understand what Naruto draws every time, and even Sasuke will provide Naruto with inspiration.

Naruto is super happy, even if he is often chased and beaten by people nearby after painting, and is forced to clean the wall honestly, Naruto is also very happy.

Then suddenly one day, very abruptly, Sasuke didn't come to school.

are you sick?

Naruto looked at the empty seat beside him, the students in the class were still the same as before, chattering together, chasing and playing with each other, it was very lively.

No one noticed that Sasuke hadn't come, except Naruto.Naruto turned his head to look at the door of the class after a while, and looked out the window vigorously, trying to find Sasuke's figure appearing at the school gate.After a whole day, Naruto jumped up and down anxiously, scratching his hair into a messy bird's nest.He couldn't sit comfortably on the chair at all, as if a nail had been placed on the chair, and it hurt so much that Naruto wanted to jump up immediately.

After class, Naruto plucked up the courage to ask the teacher, but the teacher was taken aback. He looked at the list carefully, only to find that there was one student missing in the class.He didn't care about this matter, but said casually: "Maybe it's because of illness, the children of big families always don't ask for leave."

Sasuke won't be absent from work for no reason!

Naruto really wanted to say that, but the teacher ignored Naruto's hesitation and turned away indifferently.

Naruto asked several teachers one after another, and even went to the monitor who always looked down on him, but all he got was the same indifference and indifference.It seemed that Naruto's anxiety and worries were all an unnecessary joke.

Naruto and Sasuke are very marginal children in the class, there is no difference at all whether they stay in the class, no one will notice, let alone care.

After Sasuke's terrifying and violent fighting power spread among the bear children, there were very few people who even found fault with them and laughed at them.Every day they are in school, the only ones they communicate and interact with are actually each other.

Standing outside the crowd, Naruto watched his classmates chatting and laughing in a circle, and suddenly understood this point.Without Sasuke, Naruto doesn't even have anyone to turn to for help.

It was as if the world suddenly became an isolated island. Naruto stood on the small island and looked out desperately, but all he saw was a lonely ocean. There were beautiful and magnificent ships passing by the isolated island, but Naruto The island is really too small, even if he danced and shouted loudly, he couldn't get any response.

There are so many big ships, none of which belong to Naruto, and they will sail to the distance after all, just like the clouds drifting in the sky, only Naruto will stay on the isolated island in the end.

Maybe it's really sick, Sasuke will be back soon, I'll ask him then.

In the end Naruto could only think so.

However, one day, two days, three days, three full days Sasuke did not show up.The seat next to Naruto has been empty and cold, and no one around still cares, as if Sasuke was abruptly erased by a blackboard eraser, and everything about him only exists in Naruto's imagination.

Naruto couldn't bear it anymore, he didn't even attend the afternoon class.He ran desperately, out of the classroom, out of the school, all the way through the criss-crossing streets, across the wide river banks and grassy beaches.He was panting from exhaustion, and his ribs were burning hot, but he was unwilling to stop, as if he would be swallowed by something terrible if he stopped.

That is in countless sunsets, Naruto has traveled thousands of times.Naruto knows every street, every turn by heart.But when he came to Uchiha's clan, he was surprised to find that there was a seal, and the white line surrounded the huge block.

Naruto froze there.

It was a completely different scene from before.

Naruto has been here many times, although every time he hides in the corner and watches from a distance.But Naruto still remembers the prosperity of the Uchiha Clan, so powerful ninjas come and go, looking very proud.Decorations depicting the Uchiha clan emblem are hung all over the long street. When the wind blows, the windmills spin, and the wind chimes under the eaves jingle.Many young children were playing on the street with their toy kunai, and the adults who opened the shops on both sides sat at the door, chatting with each other with a smile.

The aroma of croquettes and sweet meatballs is mixed together, and every time Naruto sees the croquette shop at the corner of the street, his mouth waters.

There is also that flower shop, the flowers hanging at the door are different every day, so many flowers that Naruto can't name are clustered together, blooming in the sunset.The owner of the shop is a very beautiful elder sister. In the evening, she will give the remaining flowers at the door to passers-by.It is clear that the ninjas of the Uchiha family all have a face that looks very proud, but the big sister is not afraid at all, and will force a few flowers into the hands of those ninjas.

So Naruto, who was watching secretly, was not afraid anymore, because the ninja, who was so stiff that his facial muscles were twitching, was holding a few small red flowers in his hand, which was really funny.

But now, Naruto doesn't have to hide in a corner.He stood straight at the gate of the Uchiha Clan and looked inside, but the bustling scenes of the past were gone.

The streets were empty.

Those gorgeous decorations are all gone, there are no flags on the roof, no windmills with various designs, no hanging signs and ribbons, and no wind chimes swaying in the wind.There are no bright flower baskets, no tables and chairs for people to rest on both sides of the street, and no novelty and interesting stalls.

Only the wide and flat streets, bare roofs, and closed doors and windows are left.In front of the pale paper door, there are only a few white lanterns swinging around.The wind blew through the long street, and Naruto saw that there was only one black thread hanging from the eaves of one house, and the only small shell on it was missing a corner. sound.

Black curtains hung down over the windows, and the sun shone on the red and white Uchiha crest.

In a daze, Naruto seemed to see those curtains when they were rolled up, as if those windows were open, the paper doors were painted with ukiyo-e paintings of animals and birds, the streets were bustling with pedestrians, and the lively stalls Surrounded by a group of children, some of them walked into the shops along the street and rang the wind chimes under the eaves.

However, in the blink of an eye, Naruto's eyes were still pale and dead silent, even the air was icy.

Naruto felt his heart being pinched tightly, and he stared at everything in front of him in a daze, as if such a completely different contrast was beyond his comprehension.

He just instinctively felt the cold, as if his strength had been drained, and those pale seals reflected a glare of cold light in the sun.Inexplicably, Naruto shuddered.

"It's so miserable, everyone died."

"I heard it was done by one person."

"It is said that they are still their own people, and they are really self-inflicted."

……

Naruto didn't know how long he stood there in a daze, until some sporadic words drifted into Naruto's ears.Those words were like a thunderbolt, which exploded in Naruto's mind with a bang.

dead? ! !

Naruto's mind went blank, he struggled to understand the meaning of these three words.

"What did you say?!" Naruto jumped up, threw himself in front of the speaker, held him tightly, and asked loudly.In the panic, Naruto didn't even notice that he was so strong that he could hold an adult.He also didn't pay attention to the disgusted gaze cast by the other party, but when he saw his expression, he turned into fear.

It's probably because they haven't seen the demon fox they talked about when it really turned into a monster.

The little child's eyes seem to have been pulled into the pupils of a wild beast, and the gnashing of teeth seems to be able to bite off a person's neck with one bite.

Naruto didn't care about that, he couldn't think of anything, he just rushed back regardless, he didn't realize that his running speed had far exceeded the level of previous training.

Go to the third-generation grandpa and ask what happened.Three generations of grandpas must know such a big thing!

That was the only thing Naruto could think of.

But Naruto didn't know how to find the grandpa of the third generation.In the past, three generations of grandpas came to see him.

Naruto only vaguely knew where Hokage's office was, so he didn't care if he could go to that place, he had to break in anyway, and he had to meet the third-generation grandpa.

Naruto was stopped by the ninjas guarding the door. Those ninjas were so tall that Naruto had to look up his neck to see their faces. They just stood there silently and became a wall that Naruto could not cross. wall.

"I want to see the third generation grandpa!" Naruto shouted loudly, struggling hard, waving his arms wildly, trying to break through the blockade of the guards.He grabbed the ninja's shoulder, trying to climb over.

Naruto's mischievous behavior aroused the disdain and disgust of passers-by around him.

Naruto didn't even know that he threw away Jonin's hand in the confusion.Just when he broke free from that Jōnin and almost turned over, how many powerful ninjas were dispatched from various places in an emergency, lurking in the dark, and would rush out in the next second, pressing Naruto hard on the ground , take him to some dark and boundless dungeon.

Fortunately, the third Hokage appeared in time, the old man smiled kindly at Naruto, and waved secretly to let those ninjas disperse.He took Naruto back to his office, let Naruto sit down on the sofa, and gave him some steaming tea.

Naruto was very anxious, but at the same time he also trusted the third-generation grandfather very much. He could only wriggle around on the sofa, and even rolled on the ground, like a caterpillar.But anyway, it no longer looks like a ferocious beast.

But no matter how Naruto played rogue, no matter how loudly he made a scene, the Third Hokage never told him what happened.In the end Naruto was tired, he sat up from the ground, and looked at his three-generation grandfather pitifully.

After some nonsense, Naruto's voice became hoarse, his blond hair was hanging limply, and his clothes were messed up like a little beggar.Although Naruto is stupid, he can also understand certain truths.From the attitude of the three generations, he noticed the silent but firm rejection.He knew that it was impossible for him to know the answer to this matter no matter what, and it was useless to play tricks.

"Grandpa of the third generation..." Naruto's voice was full of tears, he called out, but couldn't speak.His eyes were sore, Naruto had to rub his eyes hard, he didn't understand why he was like this, why he was crying.Naruto felt that he was already an adult, a strong man, and he would never shed tears again.

But Naruto just felt very uncomfortable, he couldn't express that feeling, and he couldn't understand it.Maybe these emotions are too complicated, so much anxiety, worry, helplessness, fear... Countless feelings are intertwined, constantly surging in Naruto's heart.Naruto didn't know what to do, he only knew that his heart seemed to be kneaded into a ball, and it hurt so much that he wanted to curl up, tears couldn't be controlled at all, and they were about to flow from his eyes.

Naruto gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, but he held back.

After a long time, Sandai seemed to sigh slightly.

"Sasuke is in the hospital, you go and see him," he finally said.

Hospital!

"Thank you three generations of grandpa!" Naruto jumped up in surprise, because his legs were weak and he fell, but he didn't care at all, and ran outside as soon as he rolled over.

Naruto only knew to rush to the hospital, he couldn't think of anything more in his simple mind, and he didn't even hear the third Hokage calling him from behind.The hospital is so big, Naruto found himself blindfolded when he arrived, so he had to drag the nurse to ask where Sasuke was.He has such a loud voice, is rude and impulsive, doesn't care about others at all, and asks endless questions, so no one wants to talk to him.

When the doctors and nurses saw him from a distance, they turned and left, and Naruto looked for him one by one.

The hospital was made into a mess by him, with countless curses and white eyes thrown out, and some people even threw things directly at the door, Naruto dodged, bowed down to apologize, and then quickly slipped to the next room.

The staff had to come out to clean up the mess. They were ashen-faced. They originally wanted to throw Naruto out of the hospital, but in a place Naruto didn't know, it was the three generations of grandpas who rushed over slowly, apologized, and asked them to throw Naruto out of the hospital. People took Uchiha Sasuke's ward.

Sasuke is in the intensive care unit.

So many tubes were inserted into Sasuke's body, and white bandages were wrapped around Sasuke's head and half of his face.It took Naruto a lot of effort to find Sasuke through the complicated medical equipment and layers of bandages through the glass.The cry of crows outside the window was extremely shrill, Sasuke was lying there quietly, Naruto could only see Sasuke's hand protruding from under the quilt, it had no blood at all, it was almost transparent white, as if it would disappear without a sound .The needle stuck in Sasuke's hand, and the transparent liquid dripped drop by drop.

"Sasuke...is he alright?" Naruto asked softly.It seemed that he was not the same as the guy who rushed into the hospital and yelled just now.

The head nurse didn't want to pay attention to this dirty monster, but when she looked down at Naruto's expression, she fell silent.Those azure blue eyes were as clear as the sky, faintly flowing with fragments of light, so blue that it seemed to drip water.

"More than a dozen fractures and a shattered skull. I almost died. I was lucky to save my life. Now I don't know when I will wake up." The head nurse is also very sad when he thinks of the child's injuries. Such a young child was beaten like this, and it is said that he was dragged into the illusion and tortured, and suffered very serious mental trauma.Of course, even without the illusion, the mental damage would be enough, after all...

The head nurse thought for a while, and reluctantly said a word of comfort: "It's not easy to survive, he is the only survivor."

Sole Survivor...

Naruto put his hand on the glass, looked at Sasuke, after a while, he put his face forward again, making a funny look on the glass.As if this would bring him closer to Sasuke.

It's so quiet.

Naruto thought in his heart, he kept looking at Sasuke, looking at the screen next to Sasuke showing the heartbeat, the straight broken line would bounce up and down every few seconds, repeating itself.His eyes were sore, but Naruto still refused to look away.

Sasuke is still alive.

Naruto wanted to breathe a sigh of relief.

Only Sasuke is still alive.

But Naruto wanted to cry again.

The author has something to say:

Regarding the publication of the book, if it does come out, there will definitely be a few more episodes than the online version, because I haven't finished writing it yet, so it is expected to increase the daily interaction between the characters, send out candy and so on.In addition, I may modify the text of the physical book a little bit, and there will not be much difference, but I may modify some details that I wanted to change before.Whether it is the online version or the physical version, the final ending will definitely be a happy ending. Don't worry, everyone, you have to trust the dick~

But it still depends on the specific number of people and operations, etc. I am a super novice, so interested little angels should join the group first, and then we will communicate.It would be even better if there is a master who understands this aspect~ And remind me again, the group number is on the copy, and those who join the group must write information related to this article!For example: Wenming, Sasuke, Hokage, etc.

And, I seem to have lost a lot of comments recently, especially a long one, which is super well written!I also refined it, but it’s so big that I put it there, why can’t I find it!I don't know if it's still there and I just didn't see it, or it's really missing QAQ
