The Loved Flower

Sasuke lives alone in Inari's house, and Uncle Tatsuna is urging his daughter Tsunami to prepare dinner.

He didn't visit them as he had planned before, but unexpectedly met Uncle Dazina who had just returned from work on the Naruto Bridge. He recognized Sasuke at a glance, and dragged him home together.

Looking at the familiar face of Uncle Dazina, who had aged a bit due to time, but still in good spirits, Sasuke felt that this trip was not fruitless.

Inari was not at home, as if he had just gone to Konoha for new construction work. Uncle Dazna looked proud when talking about him, and Inari's mother also looked happy.

The missing piece of the photo on the wall has been completed, and it has been properly framed on the wall. Although the damaged traces are still there, everyone is smiling happily.

Sasuke still can't understand Naruto's so-called "family theory", although he once had, father, mother, brother, that kind of thing that seems to be far away now seems to be very close, it is in his memory.

The feeling of home is indeed very nostalgic, the love of family members once tortured him and hated his biological brother, but now he let go of those things, Naruto said that his dream is to want something like that.

"That child, Enari, you won't be going home for the New Year this year." Uncle Dazina complained helplessly, seeing his daughter getting happier day by day because of his son's growth, his life gradually became easier.

"It's not because of Dad!" Tsunami complained, put the miso soup gently in front of Sasuke, and added a bowl of rice for him, "Inari is only so old, and he has to work everywhere. Will go home, do you know how worried I am?"

"A man should be wandering around!" Uncle Dazna took a sip of soup happily, laughed a few times seeing his daughter's dissatisfied expression, and turned his head to look at Sasuke, "You think so, Sasuke-kun ?”

Sasuke was thinking about Naruto, he was stunned when he heard his name, and nodded.

The weather in early winter, however, seemed to be deep winter in Nami. Tsunami lit a brazier to keep warm, and the whole room became warmer. The big thistles placed in the window during the day also brought a little earthy smell.

Sasuke took a sip of Zengsu, and the chill all over his body immediately dissipated. The lazy feeling made him want to sleep.

Seeing Uncle Dazina and Ms. Tsunami quarreling, my eyes blurred, as if I saw Fu Yue and Mikoto again. When my brother was on a mission, there were only three of them in the family. My father would occasionally talk about my brother. At that time, my mother more or less A proud expression will appear on the faces of young people, excellent sons, happy families...

Sasuke gave a wry smile.

"By the way, Sasuke-kun, are you alone this time? Are Naruto-kun and Mr. Kakashi not here?" Uncle Dazina drank, his face began to turn red.

Sasuke lowered his head to eat, affirming his question. The taste of Ms. Tsunami's food remained the same as before. Remembering that Naruto wanted to eat again after making a noise, the sour taste in his heart became a little bit heavier.

"That child, Enari, has also grown up. A while ago, I received a love letter from the girl next door... Haha, I can see it very clearly, old man... The girl next door is a good boy, but she has a bit of a bad temper. ..." Uncle Dazna muttered to himself with a smile, ignoring his daughter's stare and continuing to sweep the dishes on the table.

How do you feel, dear one?

Is the "dream" that Naruto wants more important than his love?Is it more important than the deepest, deepest bond between them?

Sasuke didn't figure it out until the next day when he was standing outside Dazina's door and was about to leave.

Walking on a single-plank bridge, the bridge body made creaking noises due to its age, and the surrounding lake was covered with thick fog, making it impossible to see the place ten meters away. Sasuke squinted his eyes, but he didn't care to observe the surroundings. scenery.

And the movement in the water was too great.

The sound was gurgling, gradually getting louder and clearer, and Sasuke, who was distracted, had to stop on the bridge and lower his head to look expressionlessly.

"Gulu Gulu Gulu—bang!" There was a sound of breaking the water, something jumped out of the water, splashing a lot of water at the same time, Sasuke frowned, but still stretched out his hand helplessly——

The ice-cold water polo landed firmly in his palm, and softly trembled a few times in his palm.

This is the ninjutsu of Suigetsu, a psychic that transmits information through water.

The water polo trembled a few times, but he still didn't give him any information. Sasuke frowned, wondering if it was broken?I couldn't help pinching my fingers, but in return the water polo trembled more violently, and even got a little hot.

Sasuke felt some black lines on the top of his head.

Seeing that Sasuke was impatient, Shui Polo stopped acting coquettishly, twisted his body and spit out a text on the light screen, and then turned into a ball of water dregs.

"Sasuke! My uncle is doing very well recently! Don't ask me how I am! How is your trip? Let me tell you a good news. I met another Uchiha clan that remains in Sand Ninja Village! Don't ask me Why is it in Sand Ninja Village? If you want to meet her, please send me a message with Ninja Beast!..."

Sasuke frowned, crushed the light screen, and his heart was spinning like a mess, Uchiha's people?Isn't he the only one?Why are there still clansmen living outside?

Recalling what my brother once said, Muye Village placed all the clansmen on the periphery of Konoha because of fear of the family, and strictly controlled the population of the clan. From this point of view, it is basically impossible for anyone to escape...

But the joy of still having the tribe buried those doubts and speculations, and Sasuke immediately summoned an eagle to bring a message to Suigetsu.

He wanted to see what was going on with that clansman.

As for Naruto, he should have already returned to the village. When he finds his clansman, he should go back to Konoha to find him.

Sasuke thought about it.Then he said goodbye to the Dazna family and left his house.

The night is peaceful, and the land of waves that has just snowed is a vast expanse of white, pure and beautiful.Walking across the Naruto Bridge, watching everyone rushing home pass by him, Naruto bit his lip and quickened his pace.

Standing at the door of Enari's house, he couldn't knock on the door for a long time.

Naruto originally didn't want to come to Sasuke, but just as he turned around and walked a few steps, there was a voice in his heart, calling him to go after Sasuke, don't abandon Sasuke like this, don't turn his back on Sasuke like this.

As a result, he traveled all day and night, and arrived in the country of Waves in the early morning.

But will Sasuke be here for so long?Sasuke was visibly distressed by his fucking, and he could see in his eyes that he was hurt.

Sasuke, are you hurt?

It's not the body, but the heart. His words can actually hurt the powerful and extremely indifferent Uchiha Sasuke.

Maybe Sasuke will leave immediately, go far away, never see him again, and never return to Konoha.

Sasuke told him that he liked it, he knew it and felt it, Sasuke's palm was very warm, different from the coldness he thought, even hotter than him, it was a temperature that could warm people's hearts.

Different from the indifference of Sasuke he imagined, even when he was doing it with him, Sasuke's eyes were still clear, and different from his confused emotions, he was always incredibly calm. He thought Uchiha Sasuke would always be like this, so Even his liking wouldn't mean anything, other than being closer than before.

But Sasuke's "Fire Dun" palm shook Naruto a little.

Maybe he could have a good talk with Sasuke.

Naruto did not deny his heartbeat, that thumping, thumping heart, only when he met Sasuke would he be so disorganized, or be satisfied with ease, "Sasuke..." He muttered his name, blushing a little.

Is it love, or family.

He thought like this, is it really necessary to make a choice?

If you choose Sasuke, you will no longer be able to imagine the warmth of a wife and children. Because of Sasuke's cold temperament, they will always have to rely on each other. If you choose a family, you must abandon Sasuke... At least, you can no longer hold that person's warmth. palm of...

Naruto's heart ached.

At this moment the door opened suddenly.

He froze for a moment, then saw Uncle Dazna looking at him in astonishment, and after a long time, he choked out a sentence: "Naruto-kun?"

Delicious mushroom soup, paired with wooden fish rice balls for breakfast, the warm charcoal fire next to it made a crackling sound, Naruto was a little stunned, the wooden fish rice balls were still steaming, delicious.

This is Sasuke's favorite food.

"You said, Sasuke just left early this morning and didn't eat breakfast?" Naruto stared at Uncle Dazina who was still yawning.

The uncle drank too much wine last night, and he was still a little drunk, so he sat on the sofa and answered Naruto with a smile: "Yes, he came alone. Did you two make an appointment? But why didn't he come?" How about waiting for you a little longer?"

Naruto's eyes dimmed, he traveled day and night, but still missed him.

"Uncle Dazina, do you know where he went?" Naruto asked, taking a bite of the rice ball, his bulging cheeks made the uncle feel that the savior of the world in front of him seemed childish.

The uncle coughed, looked out the window, and said leisurely: "Young man is going out to practice, how do we old men know!"

Naruto lowered his eyes in disappointment, and continued to eat with a dull head. Daz saw the dark circles under his eyes sharply, and knew that there might be something wrong with the two of them, so he patted Naruto's head lovingly and said nothing.

"Uncle." Naruto said suddenly, "What is love, do you know?"

Daz was taken aback for a moment, then smiled clearly: "What's the matter, have you met someone you like?"

"..." Naruto scratched his head embarrassingly.

"Hey, you young men, love is when you meet a person you want to protect the most. She may not be weak, but you don't want her to get hurt, or you want to be the first person when you open your eyes every day." The person you see, she doesn't need to be the most beautiful, but you feel that you can't take your eyes off when you look at her—the most important thing is that she will make you give up everything—willing to give up everything..." Dazna The uncle whispered in Naruto's ear in an originally cheerful but unexpectedly calm tone.

Naruto nodded in understanding.

"Uncle, I know."

"Sasuke-kun received a message from his companion when he left my house." Uncle Dazina rubbed his forehead and said to Naruto, "He should have gone to Sand Ninja Village."

Naruto's eyes lit up, Sand Shinobi?

He thanked Ms. Tsunami, took some more wooden fish rice balls from her, and said goodbye to Uncle Dazina.

Going after Sasuke like this, maybe you can catch it...

Thinking of this, Naruto's depressed mood picked up again: "Oh! I'm going to chase Sasuke right away!" The light in the blue eyes was the same as before, undiminished.

Uncle Dazina smiled, even though these years have passed, Naruto and Sasuke-kun have not changed at all.

Thinking back when the two teenagers helped each other back after practicing, the uncle vaguely felt something, so fast that he couldn't catch it, it was inexplicably clear.

I just hope that Naruto like this can get what he wants...

Looking at the figure of Naruto running away and disappearing in the fog, the road may still be very long...
