[Hokage] Bell Heart

☆、Chapter 40

Early the next morning, Kakashi took all the members of the seventh class, including the new members Sai and Yamato, and left Konoha for Yuyin Village.

Along the way, the team leader and main team members were extremely anxious. Let alone Sakura, even Sai and Yamato, who were born as men, felt that the intensity of the journey was quite overwhelming.

However, facing Kakashi and Naruto who looked so sad that they wished to fly to their destination immediately, the three of them also knew that it was time to race against time, so they followed the footsteps of the two in front without a word of complaint.

——Damn it, I would have left a mark on A-Ling if I knew it earlier, and it would be there in an instant with Fei Lei Shen's words.

Junliangwan knocked one after another, seeing Naruto who quickened his pace again, Sai suddenly said with emotion: "The last time I went to Orochimaru base to look for Sasuke-kun, I didn't see Naruto-kun so impatient."

Of course, he didn't dare to say such words out loud, but just muttering to himself was easily caught by Naruto in sage mode.

"Sasuke..." Hearing that familiar name, Naruto was a little sad, but he also understood that now is not the time to think about these things, so he threw these nonsense out of his mind a little irritably, and Naruto's teammates in the back wanted to cry without tears. Under his eyes, he kicked hard again.

——He has a very strange idea, the person who sent a message to Konoha to let them rescue Suzuna is very likely...

When the outline of Yuyin Village could finally be seen from a distance, all members of the seventh class breathed a sigh of relief.It was late at night at that time, in order not to attract the attention of the people in the village, Yamato didn't even use the usual wooden escape, and everyone just found an open space in the woods to rest temporarily.

Looking at Sakura and Sai, who closed their eyes and rested their minds, and Naruto who couldn't hide his irritability and kept pacing in the same place, Kakashi thought about it carefully, and called Naruto.

"Naruto, after dawn, I will go into the village to check the situation, and you all stay here to meet me."

Without thinking, Naruto rejected the proposal: "No, I want to go with you."

"Listen to Naruto first. When I was in Konoha, what Tsunade-sama was worried about was not unreasonable, so it's better not to enter Akatsuki's headquarters unless necessary.

"I promise you, I will definitely bring Ah Ling back intact, so you can stay here and wait for us."

"Mr. Kakashi, it's not that I don't believe you." Naruto sighed deeply, still unwilling to accept such an arrangement, "However, my little aunt is my relative, the family who brought me up single-handedly, So I have to do it myself.”

"Besides, I am very sensitive to Chakra in Immortal Mode, so it will definitely help you."

Seeing Naruto's stubbornness and determination, Kakashi was finally convinced.

"I can't help it, so let's take you with me."

When the sky was slightly bright, Kakashi left marks on Yamato who was watching the night and Sai and Sakura who were sleeping deeply, and told Yamato that they might come back through the Flying Thunder God at any time, so they left the place together, planning to go to the village Check out the surrounding area.

As soon as he approached the gate of the village, Naruto grabbed Kakashi who wanted to step forward.

"someone is coming."

Knowing that in the sage mode, Naruto's perception of the enemy is definitely much better than his own, Kakashi stopped without thinking, and hid his figure behind the big tree.

Not long after, a black figure gradually emerged from the gate of the village.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Naruto's extremely complicated expression suddenly, Kakashi was very puzzled, and then looked at the black shadow, but felt a little familiar.

However, Naruto ignored Kakashi's question, just fixed his eyes on the comer, and even jumped out when he found that he was approaching.

"Naruto!"

Kakashi was shocked, but it was too late to hold Naruto back.

——Damn it, this child Naruto has become so impatient after seeing what it is.

Looking at Naruto again, he was a little excited and looked at the man in disbelief. After a long silence, he finally found his own voice and spoke three syllables faintly.

"Sasuke..."

"Sasuke, it's really you?! The person who reported to us was also you, haha, I knew it!" Seeing his old friend in this unexpected place, Naruto knew his previous guess—or intuition That's right, the gloomy mood of the past few days finally dissipated a little.

——I knew you, Sasuke, were still studying our seventh class!

Thinking of how Sasuke kept his hands back several times before, and now he was willing to help Suzuna, Naruto felt more and more convinced that Sasuke's stern attitude was just a faux pas.

"Hmph, I thought that no matter what, you guys should arrive by now, but it's so slow... But that's okay, that masked man just left the village today."

Facing Sasuke's tacit sarcasm, Kakashi was dumbfounded at this moment, and seemed a bit unable to react.

——He actually came to help them.

"Ms. Zero has won A Fei's Tsukuyomi, and now he is locked in his room." Seeing Naruto who would not show any malice to him no matter how many things happened, Sasuke's mood was actually very complicated, but he still did not forget the present What is the most important thing, "He placed a restriction at the door of the room that only the Uchiha family knew about, but unfortunately, this small restriction can't bother me."

"Uchiha...?" Kakashi pondered for a moment, remembering that the man named A Fei claimed to be Uchiha Madara, he didn't believe it, but now he had to be a little suspicious.

Seeing what Kakashi was thinking, Sasuke hesitated for a moment, and said everything he heard that day: "No...he should not be Uchiha Madara. Moreover, that A Fei seems to have known Mr. Zero from the beginning. look."

"The day they had an argument, I heard Mr. Zero call him Uchiha... Obito."

"Obito!" Kakashi took a sharp breath, the news shocked him even more than when he heard that the man was Uchiha Madara, "Impossible... Sasuke, are you sure?"

Seeing Kakashi, who was still faintly guarded against him, grabbed his arm without thinking about anything, Sasuke also looked a little frightened by Kakashi who was so excited, and he was not so sure about what he said. .

"I really think I heard Teacher Zero calling it that way... I'm not sure, it probably is the syllable."

"Why, it will be like this... Obito... How could it be Obito, impossible..."

——Did Ah Ling feel the same way when she heard the news?

The author has something to say: After the stupid author finished coding, the Internet was disconnected after eleven o'clock, so this paragraph was sent by mobile phone. Please forgive me if there is something wrong with the format in the first attempt o( ╯□╰)o

By the way, I made a rough outline for the fourth volume and found that there are a lot of things to explain, so I decisively combined the two wars into one. The goal is to finish it in April and then prepare for the fourth level with peace of mind.

I am very grateful to those who did not give up on this flawed article, I will continue to work hard for you n(*≧▽≦*)n

☆、Chapter 41

Facing Kakashi, who was clearly out of his mind after hearing the news, both Sasuke and Naruto knew that now was not the time to disturb him.The two had a tacit understanding and decided to let Kakashi stay outside the village to meet him, but they had a dispute over Naruto's going or staying.

"I said that I would go back alone and bring Teacher Zero out. Payne's perception is very keen, and if outsiders enter the village, they will be discovered immediately."

Facing Naruto who would not listen to what he said, Sasuke, who knew very well that there was a high probability of success in convincing others—no, it should be said that he was cheating—felt the long-lost headache again.

Naruto, who only came here after Lien Chan, was getting braver as he fought harder, and he retorted confidently: "No, you also said that the current identity of the little aunt in the village is a Konoha spy, so if someone sees you and Wouldn't it be dangerous for you to be together with a spy!"

"Letting you into the village is really dangerous! Mr. Zero was only accused by A Fei of being Konoha's person, but you really wear Konoha's forehead protection!"

It's been a long time since he negotiated with such an unreasonable person, and Sasuke finally couldn't hide his irritability.Fortunately, I finally remembered not to disturb others, and just roared in a low voice.

"Then I'll be careful not to be discovered, okay?"

Seeing that the usual swirl-style cheating was about to start again, Sasuke was tough for a while.

"Anyway, if I say no, I won't. Are you still listening to me?"

It has been a long time since Sasuke roared, Naruto felt nostalgic, but he still did his part to fight for it.

"Ms. Kakashi has already taught me the technique of Flying Thunder God. As long as you take me to see my little aunt, I can take her away, so it will save trouble."

"Then you can teach me too." Almost without thinking, Sasuke blurted out, and the two of them froze as soon as the words came out.

——This long-lost feeling is almost like it was three years ago.

At that time, Sasuke was not Konoha Renin, and there was not so much estrangement between the two of them. They often discussed ninjutsu together.For them at that time, sharing a newly learned ninjutsu was a normal thing.

——However, such "normal" is no longer suitable for them today.

Sasuke coughed lightly in embarrassment, and was about to say something to remedy, but Naruto quickly agreed.

"Okay."

"What?" Sasuke was taken aback, obviously not responding.

"I said yes, I'll teach you." Naruto smiled warmly at Sasuke, just like he did many years ago.

Not long after watching Sasuke leave, Kakashi woke up from his own contemplation. If it wasn't for the lingering darkness on his face, Naruto would almost have thought that what he saw before was just an illusion.

After briefly explaining the current situation, Naruto smiled embarrassingly: "Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke...you can trust him, right, you won't blame me for teaching him the Flying Thunder God Art."

"Maybe you already believe him, don't you?" Kakashi also smiled, "Sasuke is actually a good boy, it's just that some things went astray, so he went astray."

"With you as a good partner who always trusts him and thinks of him wholeheartedly, I think Sasuke will turn around one day.

"It's just that you don't have to give up by then."

"No." Facing Kakashi's worry, Naruto was determined, "I will definitely wait until the day when Sasuke turns back."

--hope so.

Kakashi smiled and said nothing, but he thought of the companion who also went astray in his mind.

——I don’t know if Obito will turn back someday.

Seeing that he was about to fall into deep thought again, Kakashi suddenly noticed that the air around Naruto twisted, and then Sasuke appeared on the spot, holding Suzuna who had fallen into a deep sleep in his arms.

However, Sasuke's face was not very good at this time, but a little irritated.

As soon as Suzuna was thrust into Kakashi's hand, Sasuke urged, "Go quickly."

"What's the matter...is there an accident?" Facing Sasuke who was not calm, Naruto also became a little nervous.

"I bumped into Payne on the way back to headquarters, and I think he's getting suspicious."

——After hearing that Mr. Zero might be from Konoha, have you already become wary of yourself who is also from Konoha? He is really a man that cannot be underestimated.

Hearing this situation, Kakashi made a decisive decision to take Suzuna to join other members of Class [-], and then return to the Land of Fire as soon as possible, and find Tsunade Hime as Suzu after returning to Konoha. Nai untied Yueyue.

"Then let's go first." Without further words, Kakashi hugged Suzuna with one hand, grabbed Naruto with the other, and activated Flying Raijin.

Sasuke watched them leave, and just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but found that someone from the village had already chased them out.

"It was still discovered." He had known for a long time that Payne's perception was different from ordinary people, but it was beyond his expectation that he was discovered so quickly. "Obviously there is only one person missing."

——Could it be that they put some mark on Mr. Zero?

Seeing Payne Liudao and Konan chasing in the same direction at the same time, Sasuke secretly wondered when the mark landed on Suzuna's body.

——Obviously before they were locked up by A Fei, they had always believed in Teacher Zero.

Of course Sasuke didn't know that Suzuna did have Nagato's mark on her body - even Suzuna herself didn't know about it.However, at that time it was for the convenience of protecting their little A-Ling, but it was unexpected that it would be used in this situation at this time.

After hesitating for a long time, Sasuke chose to follow their footsteps and followed them from a distance.

At this time, Sakura and Sai, who woke up to find that Kakashi and Naruto had successfully rescued Suzuna, were naturally very surprised.It's just that Sai's emotions were not obvious all the time, and Sakura was anxious to check Suzuna's body for other injuries. For a while, the two of them seemed to be calm unexpectedly by Kakashi and Naruto.

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense, we must leave here quickly." Seeing that the students' reactions were all normal, Kakashi just saved the effort of explaining, and directly ordered everyone to pack up and prepare to run away.

Although Sakura and the other three were a little puzzled, they could tell the seriousness of the matter from Kakashi's tone, and they obediently obeyed the order.

Only Naruto remained motionless, he just closed his eyes to perceive it carefully, and the frog lines appeared at the corners of his eyes.

"It's too late, they're already here."

"Really." Hearing Naruto's conclusion, Kakashi also knew that the matter could not end in such a smooth way all the time, so he could only change the previous order.

"Then, get ready to fight."

The author has something to say: the campus network crashed, so this is what a stupid author copied to his phone and posted _(:з)∠)_

I haven’t had any ideas recently, so the progress is always slow. I’m really incompetent in fighting.

By the way, Qingming is coming soon, do you want to write some plots that fit the occasion?

☆、Chapter 42

When they were scrambling to catch up with the members of the seventh class, what Payne and Xiaonan saw was that they were firmly guarding Suzuna behind their backs and guarding their own side, which made Ben worry that the person who took Suzuna away would The hearts of the two who were unfavorable to her sank.

"Unexpectedly... it's really Konoha's person." Xiaonan murmured with some disappointment, and at the same time looked worriedly at Payne beside him.

Of course, Payne will not have any emotions, and puppets will not have emotions.However, Nagato, who is sitting at the headquarters and manipulating the puppet at this time, has mixed feelings in his heart.

For a while, no one moved, and the two sides were deadlocked.

"Are you the ones who arrested Auntie! Damn it, I will never let you go!"

Naruto, who was the most impatient, was the first to speak. He couldn't calm down when he thought that Suzuna, as a captive, might have been tortured by this group of people.

——Come on, Young Master Uzumaki, who is going to not let anyone go in this posture?Besides, Mr. Zero didn't suffer any injuries other than Tsukito, so even if you want to settle accounts, you shouldn't find these two people who obviously have nothing to do with Uchiha.

Haruno Sakura rolled her eyes inwardly, but her expression did not change at all.As Naruto's partner for a long time, Sakura has already learned how to complain about Naruto's brainlessness in her heart without showing it at all.

"Little aunt... Are you family?" After hearing Naruto's declaration, Nagato's focus was completely different. Some distracting thoughts came out of my mind.

—In any case, they are the enemy's.

"What kind of relationship has nothing to do with you, no matter what, we will never hand over Ah Ling." Keenly aware of Payne's hesitation, Kakashi can roughly guess the relationship between Suzuna and the man in front of him. complex relationship.

But he also knew that as Payne, he should be Akatsuki's leader first, and then the good brother who is worthy of A Ling's trust, so he didn't dare to let A Ling fall back into his hands, and he didn't dare to bet on this seemingly The soft heart of a cold hearted man.

Kakashi, who took the initiative to make a sound, really caught Payne's attention. He narrowed his light-colored eyes, and looked at the man who was firmly protecting Suzuna behind him: "... Copying a ninja?"

Seeing that the other party exuded a bad breath towards him, Kakashi also knew that there was really no room for maneuver, so he pulled out Kunai and rushed forward first.

"It's Konoha's Hatake Kakashi."

"Xiao, Penn."

After reporting their identities to each other, the two immediately rushed to each other to fight. Yamato saw that Kakashi planned to fight with one against six to prevent him from losing, so he quickly joined the battle.

The three people who stayed beside Suzuna exchanged glances with each other, and quickly decided that Sai would hold back the female ninja who looked weaker on the other side, Naruto would help the two teachers deal with Akatsuki's leader, and Sakura stayed where she was and continued to take care of Suzuna.

"Well, let's start now."

Because he was afraid of being discovered by Payne, Sasuke followed them far away, and when he also found this place, the two sides were fighting in full swing.

—Tsk, was he still caught up in the end?Since there is such a flying thunder god, why don't you just leave a mark in the village and teleport back directly.

Looking around, Sasuke easily found Sakura, who had been trying to lower her sense of existence, and Suzuna, who was still deeply asleep in her arms.

"Give her to me." A moment later, Sasuke came behind Sakura, and Sasuke heard the girl let out a frightened gasp.

"Sasuke-kun?!" Sakura looked at Sasuke who suddenly appeared in front of her in disbelief, and changed into a defensive expression after realizing the current identity of the other party.

"Sasuke-kun, since Mr. Zero was once your teacher, can't you just let her go?"

"It's really troublesome." Sasuke frowned impatiently. After seeing Sakura heard his words, instead of listening to his words, he hugged Suzuna even tighter, with a big look of "I won't let go even if I die, so don't let me go." Want to come to grab" posture, the already irritable mood suddenly became worse.

Taking another look at the stalemate battle situation, Sasuke knew that if Suzuna couldn't wake up, they wouldn't be able to successfully bring her back today.

— This stupid woman.

I don't know who was scolding and said something silently, Sasuke didn't say any more, just squatted down beside the two, his right hand oozes out and attaches to Suzuna's forehead.

After seeing Sasuke's intentions, Sakura was completely stunned. She never thought that Sasuke-kun... was actually helping them?

Uzumaki Suzuna felt that she had a very long dream, but the content of the dream was very monotonous - it was just endless red.

Suzuna only felt that the whole world in front of her was red, with red people, red blood, red nine tails, and a red Sharingan.

In her dream, she just looked at that night 16 years ago over and over again, watching Kyuubi's sharp claws penetrate the chest of her most beloved sister and brother-in-law again and again; or three years ago, a group of men in black The scene of the day when they rushed into the village and slaughtered - just watched, can't do anything.

She also tried to rush to help, but found that she couldn't touch everything in this world.She just watched over and over again, breaking down over and over again, she wanted to cry, howl, and wanted to stop all this as soon as possible, but in the end she just watched numbly.She couldn't take her eyes away from those eyes that she felt unwilling to die, and felt that her life was just like a big joke.

——You are the future pillar of our family.

——No, mother-in-law, you are wrong. There has never been a pillar of the family who is so helpless when facing a family that is going to the end.

——I'm just a waste, a waste that can't do anything.

"Mr. Zero, Mr. Zero? It's time to wake up... Aunt Suzuna?"

Just when Suzuna felt that she might stay in this hopeless world forever, she heard a very familiar voice, which gradually brought her back to reality.

--who is it?

Gradually regaining consciousness, Suzuna struggled to open her eyes, and vaguely saw the blood red in her dream.

——Sharingan!

The familiar eyes pulled Suzuna back to that horrible dream, she fixed her eyes on the pair like a nightmare, and at the same time, she heard a shrill scream in her ears.

Facing Suzuna who had such a big reaction, Sasuke obviously didn't react, and was almost stabbed by Kunai who was suddenly swung by the other party.

The author has something to say: It is a joy to congratulate all members of the seventh class ╮(╯▽╰)╭【Although one of them is not insane now】

So this chapter has finally written all the protagonists. It’s really satisfying~(≧▽≦)/~ Actually, this part and the previous plot of Aling Sasuke by the small pond are what I first thought of, but really After I wrote it out, I found that it was much different from the original idea _(:з)∠)_ Well, I can barely accept it, but it’s a pity that my A Ling’s domineering style is not rough at all QAQ

☆、Chapter 43

Huo Di jumped back, Sasuke looked at the crazy woman in front of him in surprise, and dodged her continuous attacks on him in a bit of embarrassment.

He Uchiha Sasuke swears that even when she easily stopped himself and Naruto under the roof before, he never discovered that his teacher could have such a fast speed and such a great strength.

Now it's not a question of whether he can't bear to attack this obviously delirious teacher, but that he has lost the initiative and can't find any chance to fight back.

Kakashi and Nagato, who were fighting, obviously noticed the scene here, and out of concern for Suzuna, the two stopped fighting tacitly.

The leaders on both sides had already ceased fighting, and the remaining people naturally had no need to continue fighting. For a while, everyone surrounded Sasuke who was jumping up and down, Suzuna who was chasing Sasuke relentlessly, and at this time, they didn't know what to do. Who should worry about Sakura's side.

"What's going on." Kakashi looked at the only person who could explain the current situation to them, and found that the other party didn't know what to ask.

"Sasuke-kun just unlocked the monthly reading for Mr. Zero, and Mr. Zero became like this..."

Naturally, such an explanation did not give Kakashi any useful information. When he looked intently at the two who were still playing cat and mouse, he found something that was enough to scare him.

"A-Ling, stop!"

There were obvious orange-red bubbles all over Suzuna's body, and the original gray-black eyes had also turned into red vertical pupils.

In order for Suzuna to adapt to Kyuubi as soon as possible, the team leader's mother-in-law once injected a large amount of Kyuubi Chakra into her body, so that she can simulate the situation of an adult Churiki in her body on weekdays, so that Kyuubi can be transplanted at any time.

Kakashi actually knew about this, but Suzuna has always been calmer and more able to control herself than Naruto, plus she is very aware of the danger of Kyuubi, so she never loses control. So he gradually stopped taking this matter to heart.

After knowing each other for so many years, this is the first time Kakashi saw Suzuna's Nine-Tails transformation, and he didn't expect it to be such a scene.

——A Ling, what exactly did Obitu show you, which gave you such a big stimulus.

"That's enough, Ling, stop." Kakashi who rushed over suddenly surprised Suzuna. She looked at this silver-haired man who looked very familiar, but quickly He focused on his left eye.

Instead of chasing Sasuke, Suzuna stabbed Kakashi in one go.

He grabbed Suzuna's hand holding Kunai, and then pressed her left hand that was going to reach her knee, Kakashi suppressed Suzuna tightly: "Ling, look carefully, I'm Kakashi! Then Next to him is Sasuke!"

The woman whose hands were held by Kakashi was still struggling restlessly, her eyes exuded great resentment, and Kakashi and Sasuke, who were stared at by such lethal eyes, were a little frightened .

"Aling, what's wrong with you, I'm Kakashi, I'm here to pick you up.

"And Naruto, Naruto is here too, you should miss him very much."

Hearing his name being mentioned, Uzumaki Naruto ran over as if he had just woken up from a dream, and he was still in shock when he arrived in front of Suzuna.

He never knew that when he transformed into Nine-Tails, he would have such a terrifying appearance, and that the little aunt, who was always gentle and gentle, could show such a fierce look in her eyes.

——Have they been facing such a terrifying him for so long?

Thinking back to the beginning, every time I couldn't control the power of the Nine Tails, the little aunt would always hug me with an extremely gentle movement, telling him to calm down, and never dislike him who showed a beast-like expression .

She is Konoha's unique and outstanding ninja. She obviously should have a better space to play, but she is bound by herself in a small village, and she spends all day with herself as an insignificant little person.

——Not only the little aunt, but even Kakashi-sensei.

Thinking about it carefully, how could a small rookie team be qualified to be led by two elite Jōnin? It would be too wasteful.

——Yes, it has been wasted until the death of three generations of grandfathers, and some people plan to split up this team.

Naruto remembered that Lecherous Immortal once told himself that on the day he and Sasuke were fighting on the rooftop, Suzuna and Kakashi received a notice saying that the seventh squad would be split into two groups in order to perform tasks more efficiently.At that time, they were emphasizing the indivisibility of the seventh squad to those high-level officials, but they did not expect the news of their fight.

——That's why the little aunt was so angry at that time.

Obviously he has made her worry so much, but he is still unrepentant.Because Sasuke left the village, he chose to practice with Jiraiya without hesitation, and left in a hurry without even saying goodbye.

Is it because she is afraid that she will be worried when she sees the injuries on her body?No, it was actually because she was afraid that she would stop him from going out to practice.

——Look, I am such an ignorant child.

When he returned to Konoha, Naruto was actually very disappointed to hear that Suzuna was not in the village. When he heard that she was going on a trip, he even complained that his little aunt was not at home and waiting for him.

But in fact, this is not the case. When he stayed at home and made some meaningless complaints, it was the time when Suzuna was in danger and needed him the most.

In fact, he has never experienced such a terrifying Tsukuyomi world, but he was with Sasuke who was defeated by Tsukuyomi back then, and he once clearly felt the pain that that dream brought to Sasuke.

Although the way of expression is different, he knows that Suzuna's pain at this time is absolutely no less than, or even far stronger than that of Sasuke back then.

——Sorry, little aunt, I should have come earlier.

"Little aunt, I'm Naruto, it's already late, I should go home.

"I'm here to take you home."

Seeing Naruto who was a little closer to Suzuna and wanting to reach out to touch her, and Suzuna who didn't care that Naruto was still staring at Kakashi and Sasuke, Sakura suddenly discovered a very important thing.

——Ms. Zero... seems to be staring at Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke-kun?

Thinking of when I went to the country of water three years ago, because I saw too much blood, when I saw Teacher Zero's red hair, I subconsciously thought it was blood, which caused a lot of trouble for the teacher. Sakura felt as if she had thought of something.

"...It's the eyes, she's afraid of your Sharingan!"

The author has something to say: Naruto's last words echo what Suzuna said to him when he first exploded Kyuubi in Uchiha House many years ago.

I always feel that when I write inner monologues and the like, it is easy to explode the word count, and then I get stuck when I write something specific

By the way, after finishing writing, I found out that Kadian actually touched the Nine-Tails Chakra directly, what a mighty【pi】武【hou】tyrant【wu】qi【bi】

☆、Chapter 44

After retracting Sharingan, Suzuna gradually calmed down, her eyes returned to their original color, and the chakra around her also began to dissipate.

——Are you really afraid of Sharingan? What did Obito show her!

The moment the Nine-Tails Chakra dispersed, Suzuna, who was already overdrawn, was about to fall to the ground as soon as her feet gave way, but was caught by Kakashi who was already very close to her.

"A Ling, what's the matter, do you still recognize me?"

"Kakashi..." Suzuna let out a breath, with a blank face, "I seem to have a dream."

"I dreamed that...everyone died. Obitu, Sister Lin, Sister Jiu, Mr. Minato...and many, many Uzumaki clansmen. They died one by one in front of me. Before they died, everyone used He looked at me with a terrifying look, as if he was blaming me for not saving them...yes, why didn't I save them..."

"Okay." Kakashi stopped Suzuna who wanted to continue talking, and hugged her, "You are tired and need to rest, so don't think so much anymore."

"These things are in the past."

Kakashi did not comfort Suzuna that this was just a dream, because they all knew that this was not just a dream, but their real past.

It was the past that none of them wanted to recall.

Suzuna nodded obediently, but after seeing Naruto standing there looking at her worriedly, she managed to pull herself together again.

"Don't worry, I'm fine Naruto.

"I heard what you just said, I am very happy."

Naruto didn't speak, just nodded silently, and showed his trademark sunny smile to Suzuna, which made Suzuna smile at him involuntarily.

"Good boy, I'm so glad to see you, thank you."

Her gaze shifted to Sasuke who had stood beside Naruto at some point, and she widened the smile on her face again.

"And you too, Sasuke."

Payne just looked at them from afar, seeing Suzuna's crazy appearance, and the way she was comforting Naruto even though she was obviously weak, no matter which one she was, he had never seen it before.

When she was in Yuyin Village, in order to make herself look more harmless, Suzuna always used to disguise herself as an innocent girl who didn't know much about the world. She educated him carefully that she was willful and reckless, and she never showed such a mature and loving expression.

But this attitude is extremely familiar to him.Nagato clearly remembered that every time the girl named Xiaoling was sick, she would smile at them like this.It was as if she could look less miserable and worry them less if she smiled brighter.

Their Xiaoling and Uzumaki Suzuna in front of them are not the same person, but they have the same gentle personality.

——She loves this child named Naruto very much.

Payne looked at Xiao Nan who was standing shoulder to shoulder with him, and understood that the other party must have the same idea as him at this time.

"That child is Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, our
