The Pain of Summer's Depression

The boy said, "Naruto, what happened to you in the past few years?"

Naruto managed to regain his expression, and replied stiffly, "What, Neji, what happened to you all of a sudden?"

"What's wrong with me all of a sudden?" Naruto's words didn't make Neji calm down, but became even more irritable. He stepped forward and grabbed Naruto's shoulder, making Naruto frown with so much strength, "What happened to you all of a sudden, Fireworks Ji disappeared suddenly, and there was no news for several years."

The voice was deep and nasal, "Everyone...everyone said you were dead...but, what's going on now. Why do they have no sense of disobedience when faced with the sudden appearance of a person whom they haven't heard from for several years."

"Everyone thinks that Uzumaki Naruto has been living in Konoha, why? Why?"

It's you, Naruto, I know it's you, your weird chakra can't lie...but...

Naruto was still stiff, Neji didn't know what happened, and Naruto didn't know either.Didn't it mean that their memory has been changed?Why Neji...

The cat jumped onto Naruto's shoulder from behind and whispered to Naruto, "Someone reserved it."

Why didn't you say this kind of thing earlier, and what's with that tone of asking for credit, don't be so willful.

Although I feel sorry for Neji, this feeling of being cared for by others still makes Naruto feel very warm.

First calm down your heartbeat.

He put his hand on Neji's and conveyed the warmth in his heart, "Ningji, I'm back."

……

Knowing that Neji really cared about him, Naruto didn't want him to be hurt, didn't want to tell him what happened that night, and always felt that he was an extremely dangerous man.If Neji was told, he would definitely be involved in that incident.

So in the face of Neji's questioning, Naruto just answered simply.

"Ah... that, I did fall off a cliff, but I was rescued later, maybe that's why I thought I was dead." In fact, it can't be considered a lie, it just hides some details .

Neji stared at Naruto's eyes full of disbelief, "Then, how to explain the memory of the villagers..."

"Ah..." Guilty avoided Ning Ci's eyes, those pure white pupils were too sharp.I blame Teacher Cat in my heart, really, since I want to change, why did I keep Neji out, and now I have to explain.Someone as shrewd as Ning Ci would definitely not be able to fool him.

"that……"

"By the way, I want to come back because I want to, but if a person who everyone thinks is dead suddenly appears, it will definitely cause panic, so..."

"This is an illusion I learned outside, it's very powerful."

"is it?"

"En." Naruto nodded heavily, and then he didn't dare to raise his head in that posture.

"That's it..." Neji left after leaving such a sentence, leaving so eagerly that Naruto could only see his back in the sunset.

can't wait any longer...

Neji knew that what Naruto said just now was half-truth even if it was not completely made up, if he stayed any longer, he would definitely continue to ask, even if it was not what Naruto expected.

So I had no choice but to leave as soon as possible, suppressing my increasingly irritable mood...

After walking for a long time, Ningci stopped. The sound of the impact of fists and tree trunks startled the resting birds in the forest, and the falling leaves almost hid the boy's figure.

Why...don't tell me the truth...

--------

The fat cat walked into Naruto with what he thought was an elegant pace, "I should be angry, after all, you lied to him."

Punched on the cat's head, "It's not because of Mr. Cat, why don't you take Neji's memory into account?"

He took off the paw covering the wound on his head and licked it with his tongue, "It's not that I haven't thought about it, it's just that it will be very difficult."

Maoyan stared straight at Naruto, "He hid your memory too deeply."

Frozen "What do you mean?"

"It's normally very difficult to change people's memories. The more important people are, the more they will occupy the deepest memories. Well... because of your identity, most people are actually very repulsive to you, so change their Memories are easy."

"But Neji is different. Although it can be forcibly changed, it will be very troublesome, and if you are not careful, it may cause memory confusion."

"Is that so?" Naruto didn't know how he felt for a moment.

"Let me tell you a good thing. There are still a few people similar to Neji."

"However, except for Jiraiya, their memories have been forcibly changed. Because they are also very strong, they may remember it. It's just that the time is uncertain. It may be a few days or a few years later."

"You may have to explain it to that old man Jiraiya, but if it's him, you don't need to lie."

……

Silently listening to Teacher Cat's words, staring at the flowing water in the river in a daze.

Teacher Cat can't see Naruto's depressed look, (although he made it).He went directly to Naruto's shoulder in the way of 'bumping', and said to Naruto in a voice that was obviously watching the show, "That Hinata Neji likes you too."

Although I never thought about it that way, what Teacher Cat said made Naruto blush, "Teacher, what nonsense are you talking about? Neji and I are good friends and both are boys. Isn't it strange for Teacher to say that?"

"Didn't I tell you? Monsters don't care about human gender."

"But I care...and what does your 'also' mean?"

"Well~ stop pretending." Cat teacher made a very old-fashioned and weird expression with the cat's fat face, "That kid Uchiha Itachi is so obvious, don't tell me you can't feel it."

"... Itachi and I are just friends." The voice was so small that he couldn't believe it.

In fact, I never understood why Itachi was so kind to me. At the beginning, I thought it might be Itachi who took care of him like a younger brother, but later Naruto himself felt that something had changed. Itachi would try his best when doing tasks. Choose tasks that are close to where you are, keep in touch every month even when you are the busiest, and make some intimate moves every time you see yourself.

But subconsciously told myself that it was impossible, both of them were boys, such a thing...

"You like him too~" The cat said his conclusion in a firm tone that I knew.

"Hey~~ how could it be?"

Naruto stood up in a panic and ended the conversation with a straight punch.

The cat looked at Naruto's almost fleeing back and covered the swollen bump on the top of his head.

"Naruto! You bastard!!!"
