[Zuo Ming] Bone Eater

Hearing the hurried arrival behind him, listening to the hasty, anxious, and angry breathing of the people who came, the man who was still cleaning the tombstone stopped the rag in his hand, and the surrounding area was quiet.

And in this silence, an extremely dissatisfied voice broke the surrounding atmosphere.

"The eighth prince returns to the moon!!"

The boy shouted angrily.

It could be seen that he ran all the way, his breathing was uneven, his hair was a little disheveled due to sweat, and he was in a state of embarrassment.But he ignored it and just stared at the man.

And hearing this inexplicable name, the eyes of several onlookers were full of doubts.This is a completely unfamiliar title.

So, they tilted their heads, looked at the black-haired boy cautiously, and looked at the big black-haired brother worriedly, not knowing what to do.Seeing that they were frightened, the black-haired man just gently raised his hand to make a gesture, and said gently:

"It's okay, don't be afraid. Maki, Zetaro, you take Xiaotachi and they go first. Come back later to see the carp."

Hearing this, the two leading children nodded in a daze, then turned around and ran away quickly with a group of children.Seeing the children running away, the black-haired man said to the boy:

"You are really slow, I have been waiting here for so long, did you come?"

However, before he finished speaking, the black-haired boy quickly stepped forward, grabbed his shoulder and pushed him away, his eyes only staring at the tombstone.But it's okay not to look at it, after finishing it, his eyes froze there.

This tombstone is made of a whole piece of black rock, polished very carefully, so it is flat and bright.

In the middle of the tombstone is a photo of a very young blond boy.

There is no need to say anything about the boy's face, because this face, whether it is ten years old or 15 years old, the boy Sasuke will recognize it. ——His face is so kind, his spirit is so radiant, and there is strength and tenderness hidden in his eyes.There is no other person with this kind of temperament in the whole village.

The moment he saw this, the black-haired boy unconsciously took two steps back, his mind went blank.

But he won't admit such a thing so easily.

After thinking about it, he turned to look at the black-haired man, drew out his knife and pointed at him, and said sharply:

"Who the hell are you? Where is this place? Could it be that this whole world is an illusion world created by you, with the purpose of humiliating me, laughing at me, deceiving me, and making me regret being indifferent and ignoring Naruto? If so , you have miscalculated. I will not believe you!"

Hearing this, the black-haired man with a face similar to his just stretched out a finger, touched his blade lightly, and then said in a very soft voice: "Don't pull out your knife in front of him!" Knife, take it back."

The black-haired boy heard it, and then looked at the photo on the tombstone, the expression in his eyes kept trembling.

He didn't believe that this was Naruto's tomb, let alone the words of the Eighth Prince Guiyue, so instead he stretched the knife even longer, directly touching the neck of the Eighth Prince Guiyue. Sever his arteries.

However, just as he poked the tip of the knife over, he suddenly felt that he had been kicked in the stomach. Under all kinds of severe pain, he rolled backwards, and it was very difficult for him to stand still. Immediately, he rushed up and punched him again, and then kicked him, sending him flying five or six distances away from the tombstones.

"If you want to fight with me, we can choose other places, just not in front of this tombstone. I will not allow a living person to draw a weapon in front of him. But because it is you, I will spare your life."

Having said that, the black-haired man turned around and walked back to the tombstone. When the young Sasuke saw it, he didn't know where he came from, and shouted loudly at his back: "Stop pretending, pretend to be me a few years later!" , Create such a qualityless Muye Village six years later, engage in these messy things, and let so many people play such a bad show, isn’t it just to make me regret and make me feel guilty?! It’s ridiculous, boring, and disgusting. ! I have seen your illusion a long time ago, so hurry up and untie it! If you feel dissatisfied, we will have a formal fight! I hate this kind of whining method the most!"

However, the black-haired man seemed to turn a deaf ear to these words.

Amidst the cursing of the black-haired boy, he just squatted down, clasped his hands together, and whispered something to the tombstone.Then he took out the incense stick he brought, lit it and plugged it in. ——The aroma is dense, gently rolling towards the tombstone, like a gentle sympathy.

At first, the young Sasuke just looked at this man provocatively, thinking that he would rush up to beat him again at any time, and also prepared for battle.But after waiting for a long time, I saw that he was just staring at the tombstone in a daze, pulling out two weeds from time to time, and then wiping the tombstone. After completely treating himself as air, the black-haired boy also gradually lost his violent mood swings and became Gotta quiet down.

And within just a few minutes, he suddenly saw the black-haired man covering his eyes, kneeling on the ground with his head resting on the tombstone, his shoulders trembling.Kneeling while leaning on the tombstone, his body completely lost his strength and he put his head against the tombstone, as if he was kneeling down, and it was more like whispering closely with the tombstone, but this whispering was just a sound, that is, sobbing.

The black-haired man clutched the tombstone tightly, the uncontrollable grief shattered in his throat, and when it overflowed through his lips, he was already broken.

I'm afraid no one in the world has heard that kind of sobbing sound from his mouth again. This is a sharp leak of emotion after remorse and collapse of a strong man of heaven.Whereas in the past he'd only done it secretly in the dark without letting a second person hear him.

In an instant, tears began to flow down his cheeks more and more violently, and he was sobbing intermittently, repeatedly saying:

"Naruto, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, so I was such a person in the past, causing you pain and sadness, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Hearing the cry of the saddest man in the world, the black-haired boy was completely stunned.His brain froze, his blood froze, and it was difficult for his muscles and bones to move.

***

In fact, whether this world is real or not, and whether the stories here are truth or lies, cannot be told clearly with the mouth.

However, the boy Sasuke did feel the pain of this man.

It wasn't audible, it was conveyed through a body language of desperation.This expression is worth a thousand words, and it also deeply shocked his heart.

His eyes were fixed on the twisted kneeling body of the eighth prince Guiyue, and the hand that was grasping the tombstone to the white knuckles, suddenly forgot all the hatred and anger, just opened his eyes and looked at him tightly.

At this moment, the low valley inexplicably stirred up mournful echoes, the grass near and far undulated like waves in the strong wind, and the vast energy between the heaven and the earth condensed into a painful sonata, rolling up countless poplar flowers and willow catkins. , Across this forest of tombstones, across this empty sky, lingering paleness like snow, loneliness like snow, sadness like snow, the world began to become an unknown light-year, unknown season, unknown time.

At this moment, somehow, the face of the black-haired man in front of the black-haired boy suddenly became more and more clear, and his shape seemed to begin to change.Under all kinds of shocks, he saw that the appearance of the black-haired man suddenly became more and more similar to himself, until at a certain moment, he suddenly realized that those black eyes soaked with tears were actually his own. The sword in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and he said in a daze:

"This is..., what's going on?!"

The black-haired man just looked at him with tears in his eyes, which contained countless sorrows.

After a long time, he said slowly:

"Isn't it obvious, Uchiha Sasuke. I am you, and you are me. There are no Hachioji Kizuki, but there are two Uchiha Sasukes. You are me six years ago, and I am you six years from now. And Naruto died four years ago."

These words hit the heart of the black-haired boy fiercely.He was as stiff as a statue, standing still in the strong wind, and fell into infinite shock.

***

"I have no reason to lie to you, and I don't have the energy. I didn't tell you in the past because of the constraints of time and space. No matter how I reveal the future, it will cause nasty side effects to Naruto. But after a few experiments secretly, After finding that I was more free in the original time and space, and the constraints I suffered were greatly reduced, I made a decision in my heart to bring you here. Because I believe that if I tell you the truth here, there should be no harm. Punishment. At least the loss can be minimized. After all, many things are not let you know through my mouth. "

Standing in the woods a few hundred meters away from the cemetery, Sasuke said to himself as a boy.The location will be changed suddenly. The reason for choosing this location is very simple. First, Sasuke does not want to be seen by villagers who worship other people, let alone by his past companions.Second, he doesn't want to disturb Naruto's quiet, recounting the sad memories of the past in front of his tombstone.At the same time, in this kind of green and sheltered forest, people's hearts are easier to calm down and conversations are easier.

And for some reason, the young man who didn't believe in men in every possible way just now didn't have any mood to refute his words.But he still couldn't believe it.

After staring at the direction of the tombs for a long time, he said: "Are those... all true? Itachi didn't kill the Uchiha clan himself. Itachi is a double agent and was wronged. I will die at the hands of Danzo, so I am forced to become stronger... Are these true?"

Seeing this, Sasuke said softly: "In order to avoid trouble, I can't directly tell you yes or no, but I believe that if you were me, you should know how to judge."

The boy heard it, and became fascinated again.

He took two steps in a daze and then said: "Then...it's all true. Naruto, Naruto died too...but why? Why?!"

He looked eagerly at the black-haired man, and his eyes became agitated.

Seeing him like this, Sasuke whispered: "The main reason is that at the earliest time, he thought too much about Sasuke Uchiha, and he suffered from a respiratory emergency. The first attack was not very obvious, the second and third time It started to get serious gradually. Later on the battlefield, in order to reverse the form, he used ninjutsu that consumed a lot of chakra, which caused his body system to collapse, and he couldn't breathe suddenly. Itachi tried to save him, but on the way he was already... …he was 15 at the time, just shy of his 16th birthday."

This topic was too sad, the man didn't continue, but the boy stood there blankly, an unprecedented shock was hitting him mercilessly at this moment.

"Naruto will be 13 years old in two months. That is to say, if this development continues, he will be gone in two and a half years?"
