Naruto Diary

As soon as it came out, even Ningci couldn't help showing a look of attentive listening, let alone Xianglin who was concerned about his own life experience.

"Red hair, tenacious vitality, these two points are almost necessary. In addition, depending on the situation, there are generally characteristics such as keen perception, bold personality, and bad temper."

"Woo!" The red eyes behind Xianglin's thick black-rimmed glasses widened when he heard the words, and his mood fluctuated... He probably shouted "Quanzhong" or something in his heart.

"Wait!" Xianglin suddenly realized something, and his voice suddenly amplified, "You are not red-haired!"

...It's revealed, Ms. Uzumaki Karin, who has a bold personality and a bad temper.

Turning my gaze around, it turns out that everyone is quite subtle in their hearts and expressions.

Xianglin immediately realized that she had unintentionally exposed her true nature again, coughed a few times to cover up, and said with a stiff smile: "Anyway, anyway, since red hair is a must, why aren't you red-haired?"

The eyes in my heart narrowed happily, but there was no expression on my face habitually.

"Just 'almost,'" I said, "I got my hair color from my father."

"...Father? Isn't your father from the Uzumaki clan?" Xiang Lin was a little suspicious.

"It's really not, I inherited my mother's surname... The reason for this is a bit complicated, and it involves some secrets, so I can't tell you." I apologize, but it is the truth.

"Is that so..." Xiangphos murmured, as if thinking about something.

I didn't know what to say for a while, I was really not good at negotiating or something...

So the small open space fell silent for a while.

No one had the intention to speak actively, and I could feel a few curious eyes slowly turning back and forth between Xianglin and me.

...Forget it, it's not a problem to keep silent like this.The old rules, straight to the point.

"Xiang Lin, what are your plans for the future?" I asked, rubbing my forehead.

But if you use your brain a little, the pain will become more intense, and you will have to heal your injuries as soon as you reach the central tower.

"...What plan?" Xianglin asked subconsciously, obviously absent-minded.

I don't care about this point, this question is just used to open the topic, anyway, even if it is this tough girl from the Uzumaki clan, no matter how much she plans, she probably won't directly plan to move to Konoha.

So I tried to sound sincere so that no one would think I was joking.

"How about it, have you ever thought about moving to Konoha?"

……

Well, I am digging the foot of the wall of Caoyin Village openly and squarely.

But what about this?

Uzumaki Village has been destroyed, and the mother has died.

I just hope that at least my mother's kin...my kin can live better, that's all.

29, oath

As soon as my invitation was so straightforward, not to mention Sasuke Sakura, Asma Benkaiban, even Xianglin and An who was hiding in the dark were shocked.

"Wha...do you even know what you're talking about!!!" Xiang Lin yelled straight away, and the idea of ​​pretending to be her own nature had probably disappeared from her mind. Bar.

"Hey... Hey! If this kind of ninja who bewitches other villages directly betrays the village, it will cause big trouble!" This is Shikamaru with cold sweat on his forehead.

"That's right! Naruto, even if she's your clansman, she's a Kusanagi after all!" This was Sakura with a worried face.It's just...it's obviously a persuasion, why do you say it so without confidence? ... this worry mixed with sadness ... what's going on?

Ignoring Ino Tenten and the others' quick-talking persuasion, I looked at Sakura suspiciously, her reaction made me a little worried.She didn't know anything about my past and life experience. If it's just that I was excluded by the villagers, there shouldn't be such sadness...

What happened when I didn't know...

...I probably can't see anything from this look... No matter how sharp my perception is, all I can perceive are mood swings and simple intentions, and it's not mind reading after all.

Involuntarily rubbing his forehead lightly, the dull pain in his head has not been relieved since he woke up, and now it is gradually getting heavier, and his concentration has begun to be a little lax.

……

Forget it, now the first thing to solve is the problem of Kaorin, and the matter of Sakura... we can only wait for the next time.After all, they are in the same group, and there is still a chance... Although the possibility of me meddling in the end is probably not small.

I closed my eyes and calmed down, and I stopped everyone's persuasion.

"Everyone...I'm sorry for saying such capricious words all of a sudden...it's just..."

"...I just want to ask you one question. If one day, you suddenly learn that your brothers, sisters or other relatives who have the same blood as you are living outside...even other ninja villages, you will want to pick them up come back?"

Everyone was silent.These people, except for Sasuke, even if their immediate blood relatives are gone, there are still some relatives who are still alive.

"But, even so..."

Shikamaru couldn't finish his words of persuasion, but was interrupted by Sasuke who had been silent since the beginning.

"...Of course I want to." Sasuke lowered his head, as if his murmuring voice was not as low as before.

Sakura couldn't help but stepped forward worriedly: "Sasuke, you..."

"This kind of thing..." He raised his head slowly, his blood-red eyes reflected the boundless pain and hatred in his heart, "I will take it back at any cost—" At the end of the sentence, the voice was already hoarse, as if to be with you. Cries of blood and tears.

"Sasuke..." Sakura's tears finally rolled down.

No one cared to comfort Sakura, and everyone present felt so heavy.

Ino's blue eyes looked at Sasuke with distress and worry, the corners of his lips moved, trying to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

This is probably the only time Sasuke exposed his inner weakness in front of others...

Actually, Sasuke, in a sense, you are the person who knows me best in this world.

We have also witnessed the tragic death of our parents, we also have a family that was once prosperous but was destroyed, and we are also so... close to darkness.

It’s just that, just like I can never understand your paranoia towards hatred, you will never understand my contempt and calmness towards hatred.This is an incomparably precious wealth bestowed on me by my previous life, which "doesn't exist" in this world, which no one can understand.

"..."

The oppressive silence lasted for a long time.

After all, they are still just children. This topic is indeed too heavy for them.

The dull dull pain in the head gradually disappeared, and on the contrary, it was a feeling of drowsiness that was getting worse.

Already... not much time left.

"...Anyway, Kaorin, please think about it carefully."

"Not for anything else, just for the same surname 'Uzumaki', I hope you can stay...I can't and will not deny the darkness of Konoha's existence, but I also sincerely believe in her light..."

"If you are sincerely willing to stay, I dare not guarantee it... But at least half of the confidence will allow you to move to Konoha peacefully and without any worries..."

"If you can move to Konoha... as long as you don't do anything outrageous, I guarantee that you will be able to live in the sun without any worries like a native of Konoha Village..."

"All of this, I swear in the name of 'Vortex'."

The author has something to say: something has happened these days, but today is a little less

30. The Last Hometown

I never imagined that one day I would swear on a stranger.

And today, I did just that.

When facing this girl of the same clan in front of her, the vow she once thought she would never have in this life was spoken so naturally, without any stagnation.

I don't know when, an inexplicable faint sadness welled up in my heart.

Perhaps, this is the sorrow and long-cherished wish of the blood of the Uzumaki family in my body.

Suddenly remembered the fantasy of the long past.

The ancient blood is alive.

Maybe, that's really the case.

Maybe it's because of my oath, maybe it's because of Sasuke's true feelings, or maybe both, the atmosphere in this small forest clearing is silent but no longer suppressed, and a slight sadness permeates lightly, Bring everyone into your own thoughts.

"...Why? Why do you think that Konoha will come back to the Uzumaki Clan? The destroyed Uzumaki Village is the Uzumaki Clan's hometown, isn't it! If so, if this is the case, no matter where you go, you will still be a 'wandering' 'What! Is there a place where I can 'come back'... woo..."

Facing a girl who was mourning because of being homeless, no one could speak words of persuasion.

"...If there is any place in this world that can become the hometown of the Uzumaki Clan, it is Konoha..."

Close your eyes, and deeply hide the overwhelming feelings in your heart.Although I also know that my eyes are no longer the windows to reflect the soul, and closing them is just a habit.

It wasn't until this time that I suddenly realized that my recognition of the blood of this life was far deeper than I thought.To me, Konoha is not a temporary residence that can be abandoned at any time.

"The beginning of Konoha stems from the union of the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan, which were known as the strongest ninja clan back then. Since then, other ninja clans have come here one after another, and finally formed today's ninja clan together. The Hidden Leaf Village I saw."

"The Uzumaki Clan was originally distantly related to the Senshou Clan. Back then, although they already had their own village, they didn't directly become a member of the Konoha Clan.
