life is like a dream

With Hideyoshi escorted by the captain of the genuine escort team, Konoha and his party walked very easily and happily for the remaining few days of the journey.After driving for three consecutive days, Liuli and his party finally returned to Konoha's area smoothly.During the whole trip, apart from occasionally meeting Hideyoshi, Liuli and Hideyoshi had no communication at all.It seemed that what he said on the cliff that day was just a dream of Liuli. In the dream, it was raining continuously, swords were shining, and a sad and stubborn boy called my sister softly and begged me not to leave.In fact, Liuli wanted to tell him that even though she couldn't respond to his request, she still hoped that he could be happy.

When approaching the entrance of the village, a group of people divided into two groups, Ruri, Kakashi, and Konoha Four. They went directly to Konoha to report the situation to Hokage, while Hideyoshi was escorted back to the palace by the guards.

After reporting the operation to Hokage, except for Kakashi who was left behind, the rest of the people went back to their respective homes to find their mothers.The longer you go out, the better it feels to go home. Walking on the trails of Muye Village, breathing the fresh air, it seems like your body is filled with energy. There is no dust, no pollution, and no exhaust. The quality is OK.

Just as Liuli was lying intoxicated on the grass and enjoying the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere, a hoarse male voice suddenly reached her ears, which made her jump up immediately, her whole body tensed.And the person who suddenly appeared was none other than Hideyoshi's guard Hanzo who had just separated.

Liuli patted his still-shocked chest before saying, "Mr. Hanzo, are you still elusive as always?"

"Your Highness asked me to bring this to you." Hanzo handed Liuli a file and a letter expressionlessly.

Liuli took the item suspiciously, with a bewildered expression on her face, just about to ask the sender what it was, when she looked up, she realized that the postman had already left while she was in a daze.

Liuli sat under a tree, first opened the envelope on top, and a string of vigorous and elegant characters jumped into view.

"The file contains the truth that you have been searching for all this time. I am sorry that I did not give this to you earlier for some reasons. I have missed too many things without knowing it for six years. This time, I will pay back the truth that you saved back then. The interest of my life. From now on, I will be responsible for this country and be a good monarch. But if one day, you need help, as long as you ask, I am willing to help you achieve it."

After reading the contents of the letter, Liuli's heart suddenly rose to her throat.

"The truth I've been looking for..." Liuli was so nervous that even the hand that opened the file was trembling slightly.

For a while, the huge back mountain training ground was surprisingly quiet, except for the sound of Liuli turning pages of paper, there was no other sound.

Two flowers bloomed, one for each. Kakashi returned home with mixed feelings, but what greeted him was darkness, and there was no sign of Liuli in every corner of the house.There are already prepared meals in the kitchen, which are well kept.But the hostess who was supposed to be at home disappeared.Kakashi checked the room again and found no suspicious or signs of fighting, so he relaxed a little.There is no way that this girl is always kidnapped, and the enemy is getting stronger every time, which scares Kakashi. I am afraid that if he doesn't pay attention to this girl, he will be bullied again in a place where he can't see.

Kakashi, who had been waiting at home for a while, couldn't sit still anymore.Running out of the house to look for Liuli who "hasn't returned home for a long time", I searched around where Liuli might go, and finally found Liuli in one training field after another. Several empty wine bottles were lying crookedly around her.

Kakashi walked in with a frown, and as the distance shortened, the strong smell of alcohol emanated from Ruri's body, like an alcoholic who had just been fished out of a barrel, Kakashi's already frowning brows seemed to be It can pinch a fly to death, the veins on his forehead are bulging, and there is a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Liuli." Kakashi squatted in front of Liuli and called out, although angry, he subconsciously slowed down his tone.

Liu Li, who heard the voice, looked up blankly.

A tear-stained face immediately appeared in front of Kakashi's eyes. Even when his eyes were almost taken away, Liuli had never cried so sadly, his eyes were full of self-blame and pain.Looking at Liuli at this time, Kakashi's anger seemed to be poured over his head by a basin of cold water, and there was not a single bit of it extinguished, leaving only a heart full of distress.

Liuli actually has a "bad problem". She can forgive others for hurting herself, but she can't forgive. When people hurt the people she wants to protect or keep in her heart, it hurts her more than directly hurting her, not to mention this This time she also played a hurt role in it.

Looking at the familiar figure in front of her, Liuli threw herself into Kakashi's arms, and tightly hugged Kakashi's waist.

"Kakashi...."

Kakashi stroked Liuli's hair, and said softly, "Well, I'm..., what happened...."

After a long time, when Kakashi had given up knowing, Liuli's voice hoarse from crying slowly sounded, "Kakashi, you know, for three years, I have been trying to kill Uchiha Itachi , to avenge my people, to untie the shackles on Sasuke’s body, I blame Itachi for Sasuke’s miserable life, but…” Liuli smiled self-deprecatingly, “I didn’t know this until today All my persistence in the past three years is more like a joke."

"Back then, Konoha's high-level officials suspected that the Nine-Tails rebellion was controlled by the Uchiha clan, so they began to monitor the Uchiha clan for 24 hours. The Uchiha clan were unwilling to be suppressed and rejected all the time, so they planned to initiate it under the leadership of Sasuke's father. Rebellion. Itachi, who was only 13 years old, had to deal with the two and became a double agent. Danzo Shimura exchanged Sasuke's life for Uchiha Itachi..., my 14-year-old brother, beheaded himself The entire Uchiha clan, including his parents."

Liuli tightly grasped Kakashi's clothes, her raised little face was full of distress and anger, every word was filled with pain that could not be relieved, "Kill father and mother, kill the whole family, kill the only one His younger brother forced him to do so, and the only younger brother hated him to the bone. How can such a person..., such a person hated by the whole family...how can they survive? How could they be so cruel? That year, he was only 14 Old....Why did they let my brother bear such a heavy sin, bear such a heavy pain, and suffer from the torment of heart desire... What did he do wrong...but he was persecuted They had to choose between killing the whole clan or more people, and finally had to leave the village, bearing the name of betrayal and tortured, why should they..., why..."

"Liu..." Kakashi called out worriedly.

"Kakashi..., I have always liked this village so much, this is my only home in this world, my teacher, my friends, my family, my lover, everything I cherish Everything I want to protect exists here. But the truth is... Uchiha and Konoha, what should I believe is right."

Liuli lowered her head and stared at her hands, her voice was low and depressed, "These hands were supposed to save lives, but they wanted to put Itachi to death more than once. Last time, they were taken away by the masked man and treated by Itachi... Kakashi, you know Well, that time....., that time I could have cured Itachi... I could have cured it, but I gave up. I knew that if I missed that chance, his life span would be half a year at most ... As long as I miss that opportunity, even Tsunade-sama will be helpless, but I... still give up. I am so vicious, I just watched this opportunity disappear..., I deliberately gave up my only chance to cure my brother. And..., you know."

Liuli looked at Kakashi, and the knuckles of Kakashi's clothes turned white, "He is the mysterious brother who has been teaching me Uchiha clan ninjutsu for three years... I should have thought it was his... ..., except for the Uchiha clan, how can anyone else be so clear about the secret art that the Uchiha clan never spread. It turns out that what my masked man said is true. For three years, he has tried his best to train me to learn Uchiha All kinds of ninjutsu of the family, but never taught me anything about writing sharing eyes, just because he knew that my eyes were injured... He tried hard to learn to be a good brother, tried hard to protect me, and took care of me. Me, make me up, but what have I done, I've tried to kill him again and again, look what I've done..."

Liuli hugged herself and curled up in Kakashi's arms, repeating "Kakashi, I did something wrong, I was really wrong..."

Kakashi hugged Liuli distressedly, "It's okay, Liuli, didn't you say it too, there is still half a year left, let's go find Itachi, we will bring him back, and we will definitely find a way to cure him , if you give up without trying, then your brother is really hopeless. No matter what, I will be here and accompany you to face everything, you are not alone, you know?" Kakashi Kissing the top of Liuli's head, the deep voice contained reassuring power.

Muttering to herself, Liuli looked up at Kakashi who had been guarding her all the time, and burst into tears, her voice came out intermittently, "Kakashi...Kakashi, I still have a chance to make up for it. Can I still save my brother?"

"Yes, it will be possible." Kakashi reassured softly.

The next day, Liuli got up from her own bed. Speaking of which, the frequency of such plot developments is really high.After waking up, Liuli first wrote a reply letter to Hideyoshi. The general idea was to thank him for the information he provided me, and to let him not care about what happened back then. happiness.Although the expression was very cryptic, Liuli still felt that she was meddling in her own business and was a bit out of line. She, a commoner, should care about the important affairs of the heir to the empire, but she didn't realize it until the letter was sent out, and it was too late. carry on.So Liuli, now I only hope that Hideyoshi doesn't have time to read my letter or doesn't understand it. This is the terrible hangover.

Then, Liuli went to the hospital and explained the things she needed to pay attention to after she left.After doing all this, Liuli came to Hokage Building and planned to take a long vacation with her master Tsunade. She was going to find Sasuke and Itachi. Even if she was willful, she couldn't control so much.Liuli secretly made up her mind to keep her last two relatives.

Ruri pushed the door open and found Hokage's office. Not only the master, Shizune-san, and Sakura were there, but Kakashi, Yamato, and even Naruto Hinata, who rarely appeared in normal times, were there.

Tsunade looked at Liuli and said, "It's just in time for you to come here, so I have to send someone to find you." Then he turned to Jingyin and said, "Go on."

"Yes" Jing Yin glanced at me, and continued what was interrupted by my arrival just now.

"A few days ago, we received news that Orochimaru had been killed by Sasuke. Afterwards, Sasuke organized a new team "Snake", with members including Uzumaki Kaoru, Libra Shigego, and Onito Suigetsu. On the other hand, according to Jiraiya Based on your information, the Akatsuki organization is likely to have targeted Naruto, and Itachi used to be a ninja in the village, so it is likely that the target will be transferred to Konoha Village."

"So..." Tsunade took over the conversation and continued, "After careful consideration, I decided to let Kakashi and Yamato lead the team, the original seventh and eighth classes would assist, and Ruri would accompany him. As for the hospital, I will temporarily leave it to Shizune Right. The content of this mission is to capture Itachi alive and bring it back to Sasuke. If it is as expected, Sasuke must also be looking for Itachi's whereabouts. If you can't have both at the time, choose the most beneficial plan, are you clear?" Tsunade asked everyone with a serious face, but his eyes looked at Liuli, who seemed to be absent-minded.

"Understood." Everyone replied in unison, including Liuli who was stunned.

After everyone exited Hokage's office and returned home, Kakashi grabbed Ruri who was walking in front.

Ruri, who was being held back, looked back at Kakashi's worried face, and suddenly felt warm in her heart, she raised her arms around Kakashi's waist, "I'm fine, Sasuke can defeat Orochimaru and live well Come down, I'm really happy. I'm just very worried... I can't stop the two brothers from meeting in time, I'm afraid that they will lose both, and I'm even more afraid that Itachi will give up his life and die in Sasuke's hands, and Sasuke who will know the truth in the future , will fall into hell forever, and there will be no future to speak of. In fact, Liuli doesn't know why she has such thoughts, but there is always a feeling of depression that can't go away." Liuli raised her head and said with a smile, "Maybe it's because I care about It’s chaotic, too many things have happened recently, so think too much.”

Kakashi rubbed Ruri's hair, and said with a smile, "It will be fine, we will set off tomorrow, so don't think about it today, go to rest early."

"Well, good." Liuli replied with a smile, turned and entered her room.

So Ruri didn't know, Kakashi looked at her back and frowned.

Liuli returned to the room and sat on the ground with her back against the door.The uneasiness in her heart tightly entangled her, this awful feeling was so familiar that it was impossible not to remember it.But this time, even just this time, she prayed that this feeling was just because of physical discomfort, not that damn sixth sense, and she subconsciously resisted something.

In the end, she was able to avoid her own feelings, but she couldn't avoid the fact that it would eventually come.
