[Comprehensive] Sasuke, come back
Chapter 50 The pit is 050 meters deep
That night, Sasuke, who was slightly injured, opened the door of the bedroom and told Naruko an unknown past.
"So the Kuruta tribe is also the descendant of the Uchiha tribe..." Naruko recalled that when Lacey used medical ninjutsu, Qingling's eyes instantly turned fiery red. It is indeed a bit like Uchiha's writing wheel Eyes, but the pupil shape does not change.
If this is the case, then combined with the situation in the dream, she seems to have cleared up the chaotic plot-the Kuruta tribe is before the Konoha Ninja Village was established, because of years of wars and continuous migration of the tribe, they were killed by the strong Uchiha. A part of the old and weak women and children who have almost no fighting power abandoned by the tribe, the fox in the dream that grows up with time is the nine tails, because of the protection of the nine tails, they can survive the war-torn era. Migrating incognito, intermarriage with outsiders made the blood lineage more and more impure, and the sharing eyes degenerated into red eyes.
Even the degraded Sharingan still has powerful abilities. It is said that during the time when the red eyes appear, the Kuruta tribe can exert 100% of the power of the whole system, but they cannot appear for a long time.After the mysterious man attacked the village at night, the surviving clansman lived a life of non-stop migration again. In the end, the new patriarch and the daimyo of the Snow Country confessed their experiences and found asylum. that power.
However, the good times didn’t last long. In order to consolidate the regime after the last daimyo Yuno Daiki came to power, he began to suppress and persecute the Moderate faction. During that time, many officials of the Moderate faction died at home. He was charged with insufficient strength and insufficient protection, and was questioned and rejected by the people of the whole country. During that time, there were heavy casualties. Dahui reached out to help them when they were down and wanted to use them, but he was selfish and arrogant by nature. Believe anyone, and in the name of the alliance, the patriarch's daughter was named a princess and imprisoned in the palace. This person is Yuna Yuno who is about to get married.
After a brief silence, Naruko's brain felt more and more confused. After all, she was just a college student in the Heping Dynasty/Dynasty, and she knew nothing about political power. The daimyo trusts Hokage very much. Except for intervening in military expenditures and supplies, under normal circumstances, they will not go deep into the interior to interfere with decisions/powers.
According to Sasuke, although the previous Daimyo Yuno Daiki of the Snow Country has abdicated with great merit, he must still have military power and immeasurable strength in his hands. This description is not appropriate, but he is indeed like a puppet now, and the military and political power must still be in the hands of Yukino Daiki.
The Kuruta tribe is a branch of the Uchiha tribe, so it makes sense for Yuuna Yuna to kneel to Sasuke.
"Sasuke, you..." Naruko suddenly turned his head to look at his teammate with a cold side face, eyes downcast and hidden in the shadow of the light, hesitating for a long time before opening his mouth. "You...you don't mean to..."
"Yes, I want to help them overthrow this country built on the blood and corpses of the Kuruta tribe." Sasuke looked sideways, and the original black eyes had turned into scarlet Ergouyu Sharingans.
"Writing, Sharingan..." Kurapika suddenly yelled at the side, his brown pupils turned into fiery red eyes in an instant because of surprise and excitement, he ran to Sasuke with a slightly curved smile on his mouth, knelt down on one knee and clenched his right hand In front of the chest, with a pious expression on his face. "It must be the spirit of Indra-sama who guides Sasuke-sama to help us! In this way... my sister will be saved..."
Speaking of this, the blond boy showed a lonely and sad expression, but it disappeared quickly for a moment. He raised his eyes and looked at Sasuke, "Master Sasuke will protect us, right? We have not been abandoned by Uchiha ,Yeah?"
"En." Sasuke's eyes were slightly dazed, he turned his head to look elsewhere, and replied with a soft but firm voice.
"But..." Naruko hesitated to speak, pursed his lips and found a reason to push Kurapika away, sat up straight and said seriously. "Sasuke, do you know what you're talking about and what you're doing? We are ninjas from Konoha Ninja Village in the Land of Fire. We are here to represent the entire Land of Fire. Every move we make is related to the relationship between the two countries." Peace and friendship, you..."
"Naruko, you are so naive, you haven't seen the essence of this matter until now." Before Naruko could finish speaking, Sasuke interrupted her first. "This was originally a trap. The daimyo of the Snow Country never thought of getting along with the Fire Country. Otherwise, even if we committed serious crimes in the Snow Country, the Snow Country would only have the right to imprison us because of the relationship between the two countries, but it did not. The power imprisoned us and even wanted us, and you know the strength of Mr. Kakashi best. Ordinary guards are not his opponents at all. They can stab the daimyo under his nose. This shows that the snow country has premeditated, and I am afraid they hired ninjas from other countries assist……"
"There are only four of us. If Yumin Daiki insists that we assassinated Yumin Daisuke, what do you think Hokage-sama will do? The Snow Country is located in the remote northwest of the continental plate, and it will take ten days just to come here." It will take a long time, and you still need to go through the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, once the battle starts, the defense will become weak, do you think Hokage-sama will put Konoha and the entire Land of Fire in danger for four people?"
"Naruko, I won't force you to help us, but... ever since the Uchiha clan was exterminated by that man, I swore that I would only live this life for revenge, and now... I finally met my relatives again, and I will I also don’t want to see my relatives die in front of me.”
What kind of mess is this...
Why are there so many conspiracies and tricks interspersed in the ninja world that advocates force...
The effect of the chakra-suppressing medicine passed, and the body's injuries began to recover quickly, but Naruko stayed up all night, and her mind turned over and over again what her teammates said during the day, until then she guessed that she seemed to be always indifferent to this chakra. In addition to training, the male teammate who doesn't care about anything else doesn't understand at all. His situation is much more complicated and dark than she imagined.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. There are many things I hate, but there is nothing I like. As for dreams, they are just talking casually. I am not interested. I have my own ambitions. I want to revive the Uchiha clan and Kill that man."
Recalling Sasuke's self-introduction in the early days of the seventh class, Naruko seemed to understand his thoughts and practices, but...probably an occupational disease, as a ninja, Naruko always felt that he should obey the orders of his superiors instead of making decisions without authorization.
Sasuke's analysis is correct, there is absolutely no problem with Kakashi-sensei's strength against ordinary guards, but to be able to imprison him, there must be a more powerful ninja organization behind him, and this organization has no position at all. Konoha, who is the head of the five great ninja villages, pays attention to what is the purpose of this organization, is it just for money or there are other conspiracy...
Naruko turned over, the more he thought about it, the more chaotic his thinking became, his brain was as sticky as paste, and he couldn't figure it out. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any suitable reason, so he had to give up and start thinking about the problem in front of him. .
Because Kyuubi is the fox who used to protect the Kuruta tribe, I don’t know if Sasuke told them that he is Kyuubi Jinchuriki, probably not yet, if he told them, the tribe’s attitude towards her should be respectful.
So now, she is facing a problem, whether to stand still or help them.
It would be great if Kakashi-sensei was here, and I would definitely tell her clearly what to do...
Naruko stayed up all night because she wondered whether to participate in the rebellion of the Kuruta clan, but the news from the Daimyo Mansion the next morning forced her to make an immediate decision—Konoha, the Country of Fire Ninja Kakashi Hatake and Sakura Haruno were suspected of assassinating Yukino Daisuke, the daimyo of the Snow Country, an unforgivable crime. After high-level discussions, they decided to hang them at noon tomorrow.
—
At the same time, on the most prosperous street in Snow Country.
"Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruko haven't been caught yet, and I don't know what Konoha's ninja is up to. It would be great if they could be caught together and then executed together." In front of the bulletin board where the arrest warrant was posted, several people Residents of Snow Country chattered.
"What do you know? This is called leading a snake out of its hole. I heard that Hatake Kakashi is the teacher of the two of them. If the teacher is going to be executed, they will definitely not ignore him. When they come to rescue them, they will catch them all." A middle-aged man with a goatee stroked his beard and said.
"Speaking of which, we have always been friends with the Nation of Fire, why did Konoha's ninja assassinate Daimyo?" Pushing his glasses, another resident asked curiously.
"Oh, I know you're ignorant, haven't you heard about Princess Yuno Yuna?" The man who spoke first glanced around with black eyes, and continued in a low voice. "I heard that she is the daughter of the head of the Kuruta clan. You know the Kuruta clan. It is the clan with ominous red eyes. It is said that their red eyes have the effect of demagoguery. It is probably Konoha's." The ninja was bewitched by that enchantress to do such a rebellious thing..."
He whispered something again, causing people around to cover their mouths and giggle, and finally said, "If I want to say it, I should kill all the people of the Kuruta tribe, and this ominous race should completely disappear from this world." He raised his voice.
"Tsk, stupid people, advocating force and fearing force at the same time." Years of experience as a ninja allowed Kisame to clearly hear the residents' discussions even when standing on the opposite roof, with thin lips slightly curved to reveal a sharp edge teeth, sneered.
This reminded him of the dark rule of the Kirin Ninja Village in the country of water. A large number of blood-successor limiters were regarded as assassinations of a different kind. In those years, even the sky was dyed scarlet, but he did not feel sympathy. After all, he had Xueji doesn't have the ability to protect himself, which will only make people feel ridiculous. The so-called aliens must have some aspects beyond ordinary people, so they won't be tolerated.
"That Uchiha Sasuke is your younger brother..." Seeing that his words did not attract the attention of the people around him, Kisame tilted his head slightly, and looked at the man in the same attire as himself from behind the thin tassels of the bamboo hat. "He's not like you, Mr. Itachi, I never thought that he would get involved in such a boring thing as overthrowing the country... Oh... No, it should be said this way... I didn't expect him to think so much about his tribe, even if it's just the Uchiha clan. Branch, he also takes it so seriously."
"..." The man called 'Mr. Itachi' lowered his bamboo hat, light-colored sunlight fell, and beams of light and shade hit his face. The stand-up collar blocked half of his face, revealing only a pair of scarlet eyes with pupils in the shape of three tadpoles. There was no answer, and the expression on his face did not fluctuate.
"Speaking of which, Hatake Kakashi, who is going to be hanged tomorrow, can be regarded as a difficult opponent. If there is a chance, I really want to compete with him..." Recalling the night when he assassinated Daimyo, Kisame's thin lips slightly curled up. With a playful face, he didn't expect that besides Uchiha Sasuke, there would be a man who has the same Sharingan as Uchiha Itachi, and he can use it with great proficiency. If Itachi hadn't warned him not to act rashly, Kakashi would have been defeated by him long ago. "I heard that he is also your senior Anbu, you are really merciless."
As if feeling his fighting spirit, the shark muscles on the back also trembled with hunger and thirst.
"Senior Anbu..." Itachi looked away from the wanted notice with the appearance of a handsome boy printed on the bulletin board, looked up to the southeast direction—the direction where Konoha Ninja Village was located, and his tone was indifferent. "There is no need to show mercy."
"..." What a terrible man. Even though he has been with him for a long time, Kisame still thinks Uchiha Itachi is a complicated and difficult person. Fortunately, he has no intention of establishing a deep friendship with him, "Really An unpleasant country, just like Payne’s hometown of the Rain Country, it’s snowing and raining, it’s very humid, it’s annoying... let’s start the war quickly, we’ll get the bounty and go back early.”
"People from the land of water still hate humidity?" Itachi shook the heavy snow off his shoulders, squinting at the complaining Kisame.
"It's not the humidity itself that I hate, but the changes brought about by the humidity..." Kisame continued, looking at the raised knife handle with her head tilted. "No one cut it, the shark muscle is almost rusted."
"..." Itachi glanced at the big knife on Kisame's back, closed his eyes, his red eyes turned black, and said calmly. "It will come in handy tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the wanted notice on the bulletin board again, his black eyes gloomy like a tide.

A few days have passed since the assassination of Daimyo in the Snow Country, but there is no news from Konoha about coordinating the incident. Is it true that the four of them will be abandoned as Sasuke said, or does Hokage-sama have other plans?
After drinking the medicine, the bitter taste spread in her mouth, but Naruko's brain was unprecedentedly chaotic. She had already sorted out the ins and outs of this incident. I am afraid that the current puppet daimyo did not meet the wishes of the previous daimyo, so Yukino Daiki wanted to borrow This incident gets rid of him or gives him a blow or something.After all, they are descendants of the Uchiha. As the Kuruta people who have been framed and restricted for many years, they are not going to continue to swallow their anger and wait for death. Instead, they want to use this incident to overthrow the rule of the previous daimyo and truly gain the right to survive in this country.
Does Kakashi-sensei know these things?
Why is there no movement at all on his side, is he waiting for Hokage-sama's order or something else happened?
Intuition tells Naruko that something else has changed, probably not because the teacher doesn't want to do something, but because he is suppressed and incapable and unable to do anything. After all, the teacher always teaches them to be flexible, assess the situation, and adapt to the situation.
but……
Naruko put the medicine bowl on the bedside table and fell into a dilemma. It was like playing Jiuqu Lianlian. A person who thinks on his own, what he has decided is that he will not turn back if he hits the south wall, so he is determined to help the Kuruta tribe overthrow the decadent rule of the previous daimyo, not to mention whether it is successful or not. Their current identities are Konoha's ninjas, and they cannot do anything that will damage the relationship between the two countries.
As a Konoha ninja who has not yet been captured, she must calmly maintain a rational state, analyze the pros and cons of this matter objectively, and focus on the overall situation and not do more serious things on impulse, however... Tomorrow at noon The teacher is about to be hanged!She can't just watch Kakashi-sensei and Sakuraichi being killed.
What should I do……
What exactly should I do...
—— Naruko Uzumaki.
Just when reason and impulse collided in Naruko's mind, in the spiritual world, she was 'invited' into the barrier again by Kyuubi.
——Kyuubi, I'm not in the mood to play 'temptation' with you right now.
Unlike the tense encounters in the previous few times, Naruko was worried about the matter of her teacher and teammates, her slender eyebrows were twisted into a Sichuan shape, and she glanced at the unexpectedly quiet Kyuubi, and turned to leave, but when she took a step was shouted.
—— Naruko Uzumaki, I... I have one thing I want to ask you.
Although it was a violent and arrogant voice, it was faintly awkward.
Naruko thought she heard it wrong, she paused, and subconsciously looked back at Kyuubi who had stood up from the prison.
——What are you thinking about?
—Smelly brat!Don't be too complacent, don't think that with the seal, I can't do anything to you!
There was always a quarrel if there was a disagreement, Naruko raised her eyebrows and watched the bubbling chakra overflow the cage and break through the wind, but stopped abruptly one meter away from her, and closed it with a rustle. go back.
Its eyes became unnatural, flickering with tangled and hesitant light, and there seemed to be some kind of emotion that she couldn't understand faintly in it, although it was very reluctant to admit that this kind of Nine Tails didn't seem like someone who only knew about destruction and destruction. A demon is more like a person, a person with feelings.
--You are a good person.
After a long time, Kyuubi choked out five words, Naruko came back from the dream, surprised by being issued a good person card, stared at Kyuubi dumbfounded for a while, but saw that Kyuubi's eyes instantly became fierce , said angrily.
—Smelly girl, didn't you hear me when I said 'you're a good man'!Shouldn't you be happy to hear this!What kind of expression do you have, do you want to fight!And why haven't you asked me what I want you to do!
No one would be happy to be issued a good guy card...
Naruko felt that Nine-Tails was weird today. Although she still had such a violent and fierce tone and expression, she seemed to know how to respect her a little bit, and she no longer released Chakra to take her body without saying a word like the previous meeting.
—Oh, what do you want me to do for you?
Naruko asked in a friendly manner.
——I would like to ask you to help me protect the Kuruta tribe, which can be regarded as repaying the old man of the six paths for his upbringing.
Kyuubi's angry golden pupils softened a bit, as if recalling something happy, in the dark cage in the background, the pair of rays of light that seemed to shine through the cracks were extraordinarily dazzling, Naruko recalled inappropriately before The Inuyasha that Tianjiqiao met—that is the gentle eyes of a monster with feelings, but also the firm eyes of wanting to protect things in his heart.
"Although I don't understand how you human beings use demons for power, I can feel the unwillingness and anger of that fox, and I can also see that your spirit and will are being eaten away by it. Maybe you should talk to it, try To understand its inner world."
It seems that I can understand your inner world. I was willing to give my life to protect the Uchiha people. Even though I was expelled from fear and loathing later, you still want to protect them even if you are bloodthirsty and killing. Maybe you are grateful It's not that scary.
In comparison, I seem hesitant, mother-in-law, even Kyuubi is willing to ask for help from Jinchuriki who imprisoned it, but she is in Hesitating and entangled whether to wait for orders rationally or impulsively to save the teacher and teammates, and put myself into a dead end, it's really bad...
--are we friends?
If you think too much, you will be bound by stereotypes. Naruko's blue eyes regained their original expression, and she added with a smile to Kami Kyuubi's doubtful golden eyes——I will only help my friends, if you are not me If you are a friend of mine, I will not promise to protect any Kuruta clansmen, just let them fend for themselves.
——You... take advantage of the fire!
——Tsk, I also know the idiom 'to take advantage of the fire', you are becoming more and more human, Nine Tails... Have you thought about it, are you my friend... If you haven't thought about it, I'll leave first, wait for you to think about it Call me again.
When you're done, turn around and leave.
—Smelly brat!Sooner or later I will kill you!
Nine-tails' violent roar came from behind, but when the girl left the barrier, she whispered.
——Even if I say I'm not friends with you, you'll still help me... Naruko Uzumaki, thank you.
——There is no need to say thank you between friends, I will protect the Kuruta people you cherish.
Naruko didn't look back or slow down, she had more important things to do now.
However, what Naruko didn't expect was that the first answer to Kyuubi would break his promise.
—
People who have never experienced war do not know the horror of war. However, sometimes advancing is not being fearless, but being able to move forward bravely for the faith in your heart even with fear.
On the question of whether to overthrow the rule of the previous daimyo, the elders of the Kuruta clan have experienced a long period of migration and are divided into two factions. Yuuna Yuna is still the princess of the snow country, so the Kuruta tribe will not be abandoned, and they can survive even in the cracks. Another radical/radical faction headed by Ukon believes that everyone should have the pursuit of beauty The power to live, the Kuruta clan is called the "unlucky clan" is also a rumor that the high-level officials are afraid of their abilities. The time has come for the family to tell the world to abandon their blood and family, they are just ordinary people and yearn for peace, and now is the best time.
The two factions are arguing endlessly over whether to reach an agreement tomorrow to participate in overthrowing the rule of the previous daimyo.
"Hmph, Elder Sato means that the glory and survival of the clan should be borne by Yuna alone?" Sasuke said with a sneer after hearing Sato's theory of "should remain unchanged to cope with all changes". "Why? You are also a member of the Kuruta tribe. Why did this heavy responsibility fall on her shoulders? Why did she give up her freedom and dignity to fulfill your happy life? It's not fair that souls smile happily in a caged and groveling world!"
"As a young master who has been pampered and pampered since childhood with a pure blood, and has never experienced the world, what do you know! Do you understand the feeling that people of that race can only die in front of you one by one, and you are powerless! Have you ever seen blood flow into rivers, corpses Do you know the feeling of having the whole world collapse overnight!" That day the mysterious man attacked the village at night, and Sato fought him to the death as the backbone of the village, but his strength was not enough Fighting against that man, his companions died one by one under the cattail fan, every swing of the chain brought out large swathes of blood, his wife and son also died on the way to escape, and he was killed by the belated Kyuubi If you save it, you still have one life left.
From that day on, Sato vowed to protect the villagers even if he lived without dignity.
"You mean... the feeling of having lost the whole world overnight?" The man's expressionless face, his indifferent and cold back, who was walking further and further away, flashed in his mind. No one knows that kind of feeling better than him. Feeling lost...
"Sure enough, you have forgotten Uchiha's pride after being in the greenhouse for a long time." The clear black eyes were replaced by scarlet Ergodama Sharingan, Sasuke's face was slightly distorted by hatred and anger, and he gritted his teeth. "I think you are old and confused. Do you think that if you just compromise blindly, Yukino Daiki will let the Kuruta tribe go? No, it should be said that you know better than anyone else why Yuino Daiki suppressed the Kuruta tribe. The reason is that you are just a coward who has become timid because of the fear of losing again, and you will only kill yourself if you continue like this."
"Sasuke-sama is right, Sato, you should let go of what happened in the past, it's not your fault, no one in the whole village can fight against that person, even me... I was saved by Kyuubi from being poisoned Yes." You Jin glanced at the boy who was suppressing his anger, and he had to sigh in his heart, this boy has a pair of eyes that can see through people's hearts, quick thinking and his own unique insights, and in time he will definitely show his sharpness, and he can be called a shadow who can stand on his own A super ninja, he really deserves to be a descendant of Uchiha.
"You know it too! We survived that day because of Nine-Tails, and now we don't even know where Nine-Tails is, we... we who were once abandoned have already given up our dignity and courage, what can we do? What!" Sato shouted emotionally, as if immersed in the pain of losing too many clansmen that night. "Tell me what we can do!"
"As long as you think, you can do anything." The door of the conference room was pushed open with a creak, and Naruko, who had already changed into the Kuruta costume, walked in.
Sasuke blinked his red eyes, and subconsciously opened his eyes to say something, when he saw the girl take out a ninja forehead from the ninja bag and hand it to him—this is the ninja forehead he took out when he decided to participate in the Kuruta clan's subversion of the daimyo's rule. After that, even Naruko was able to realize what bad consequences would be caused if he made trouble in other countries as Konoha Ninja Village. As a newcomer, how could he not think of it.
"You..." Sasuke hesitated for a moment, and looked at the pair of blue eyes for two seconds. The thin bangs of the drooping eyes just blocked the corner of the slightly curved mouth, and took the ninja forehead and put it in the ninja tool bag on his waist, "here Don't hold me back any longer."
"...Oh." Naruko responded, and was interrupted by Sato with a sneer when she was about to say something.
"Oh, take a look, even a stinky brat can't stop you, who allowed you to break into the conference room without permission, you..."
"Master Sato, she is not an outsider." Sasuke raised his hand to stop Sato from howling, raised his chin slightly and pointed at the girl with a firm expression. "Didn't you say that you have given up your dignity and courage? She is your dignity and courage—Nine Tails."
—
Sasuke is such a horrible kid.
As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who once guarded the Kuruta tribe, Naruko was given a heavy responsibility. He sat at the round table of the tactical team and listened to their strategic plan for the mission. The male teammate calmly discussed tactics with several adults. Zizi's resentment towards geniuses is deeper, and it's true when you think about it carefully. Uchiha has been Konoha's high combat power since ancient times, ranking among the best in terms of comprehensive strength and intelligence.
Soon, the meeting ended, Naruko helped organize the documents, got acquainted with the members of the Assault Sharp Knife Squad who will follow tomorrow, and returned to the place where he lived. The appearance of saying nothing.
"Naruko... my lord... you will definitely save my sister, right?"
elder sister……
Yuuno Yuna...
This child is the son of the patriarch...
"Yes, I bet my life that I will bring your sister back intact." After finishing speaking, he added. "By the way, just call me Naruko, plus my lord...it's too strange..."
"Hi, Naruko."
That night, Kurapika said a lot to her. Yuuna Yuna's original name was Kazimir, but she changed her surname to the royal family after being sent to the Daimyo Mansion. In Kurapika's impression, her sister is a gentle and strong person. Because of the patriarch's father's conservative style, he hoped that they could live as ordinary people without the influence of blood successors. They were forbidden to learn ninjutsu since they were young, and Kazimir would sneak to the training ground to watch others train. She is very talented and intelligent. He has obtained the basic three skills and stands out among his peers.
Her dream was to become an excellent ninja, but she failed. On the way to Daimyo Mansion as a hostage, Kurapika's temperament is similar to Kazimir's, and he also secretly learned some basic ninjutsu, but his talent is not as good as that of his sister. Can only deal with petty thieves and robbers.
He told Naruko that when he was ten years old, he should have gone to the Daming Mansion as a hostage in exchange for his sister, but her sister rejected the proposal for his freedom, that is, she agreed to this year's marriage at that time. Kurapika's only younger brother, Kazimir, is willing to do anything, including freedom and dignity.
This touched Naruko deeply, because she is also a person with a younger brother.
Probably due to the living environment, she didn't know if Kazimir could do this for her brother if she were replaced by herself.
Naruko seemed to understand why Sasuke was willing to help Kazimir.
In the early morning of the second day, the sky had just dawned, and the rising sun had just climbed the mountainside. The Kuruta tribe had already woken up early, including women, children, old and young who had not been organized into the team, gathered on both sides of the tribe square, and Naruko and others who were going to fight People lined up in a column in the center of the square.
First, the patriarch of the Kuruta clan read out the pre-war mobilization oath inherited from the Uchiha clan in the early years, and then read out the establishment of the three teams. Ojinchuriki, she is the symbol of the courage of the Kuruta tribe, so she should be active and brave. Finally, the descendants of Uchiha made a concluding speech.
The pre-war mobilization meeting was over. When Naruko, who was the assault unit, was about to leave the tribe with the team leader, Sasuke ran over. Today they are fighting for the freedom of the Kuruta tribe, and they are also fighting to save their teachers and teammates .
"You who didn't participate in the war, don't hold back my people." Without a ninja forehead guard, his fluffy black hair was blown into a floating color in the snow, and his eyes were as black as lacquer. Faintly, showing some awkwardness, added. "Retreat if you can't. I don't want to find you with only a cold corpse."
Although Sasuke tried his best to keep his voice down, the players who had learned ninjutsu all had very sharp hearing. Hearing his voice, they all looked around curiously. There were still a few minutes before the scheduled departure time, and Naruko hurriedly pulled the boy's sleeve to the wind place, whispered. "Hey, Sasuke, how can you say that in front of the tribe, I am a symbol of courage, how can you retreat..."
Naruko was still a little nervous. After all, this was her first real battle. There were tens of thousands of guards in the Daming Mansion. Even if one could stand up to ten, it was still very difficult for a team of a hundred to challenge tens of thousands.
She told herself in her heart that it didn't matter, her teacher and companions were waiting for her to rescue her on the gallows, let alone tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands and millions had to rush forward, and she couldn't just stand by because of her cowardice watched them die.
If you die together, you will be a hero again after 18 years.
Naruko already has the consciousness of 'being killed at any time'.
Assault squad leader Clemello came over, scratched his neat black hair and smiled at them, "Sasuke-sama, don't worry, Kyuubi-sama will protect us!"
"..." These people have already equated Naruko with Kyuubi. This is what Sasuke is worried about. Although he has never seen Naruko's Nine-Tails transformation, it seems that the Nine-Tails transformation will hurt her from Sakuraichi. .
Whether he is greedy or naive, Sasuke, who is only 12 years old, has already lost too much, and he is unwilling to lose anyone, including Naruko, Sakuraichi, and Kakashi-sensei, including the one who met with difficulty. Kuruta people.
If possible, he hopes that everyone can come back here one by one.
"In short, be careful." Sasuke seems to be able to understand Sato's mood now. People who have lost too much are always afraid and fearful. Even if the blonde girl patted her chest and promised that she would survive, she still couldn't calm down his fear. .
"That's right." Clemenello returned to the team to explain something, Naruko suddenly turned to look at Sasuke, and asked the question that he had been thinking about last night. "Sasuke...have you...have you ever thought...if we win this war and the Kuruta tribe can obtain the right to live in the land of snow, you...you...would you go back to...the village? "
This is what Naruko is worried about.
Naruko doesn't know exactly what happened when the Uchiha was exterminated. He only knows that there seems to be only him and the murderer in the Uchiha clan—Uchiha Itachi, and the Kuruta clan is a branch of the Uchiha clan. After the war is won, Sasuke will choose to return to the village, or will he stay here to live with his people.
"I don't have to ask you to go back to Konoha, what I mean is..." The heavy snow fell, like countless flying feathers blinding people's eyes, Naruko saw his male teammate tightening his lips, and quickly waved his hand to explain.
"I'll answer you when you see me alive." Sasuke looked at the female teammate whose head and shoulders were covered with snow, but what flashed through his mind was that sunny morning when Grandma Ida asked him, "Is Naruko good-looking?" 'The situation at the time.
Although it is still a little bit worse than the Uchiha people, it is still very good-looking.
Sasuke recalled the situation when he had promised Grandma Ida to take good care of her, and he called out to stop the figure that was getting further and further away. "Naruko, don't make me break my promise to Grandma Ida, don't die..."
"Hey, hey." Naruko turned around again and responded, labeling Sasuke as long-winded for the first time.
—
At noon, when it was snowing heavily, two prison cars turned slowly out of the prison and headed towards the entrance of the mansion.
Kakashi frowned tightly, secretly refining chakra to no avail, he never thought that he would meet the S-rank rebel Ninyu here.
"So the Kuruta tribe is also the descendant of the Uchiha tribe..." Naruko recalled that when Lacey used medical ninjutsu, Qingling's eyes instantly turned fiery red. It is indeed a bit like Uchiha's writing wheel Eyes, but the pupil shape does not change.
If this is the case, then combined with the situation in the dream, she seems to have cleared up the chaotic plot-the Kuruta tribe is before the Konoha Ninja Village was established, because of years of wars and continuous migration of the tribe, they were killed by the strong Uchiha. A part of the old and weak women and children who have almost no fighting power abandoned by the tribe, the fox in the dream that grows up with time is the nine tails, because of the protection of the nine tails, they can survive the war-torn era. Migrating incognito, intermarriage with outsiders made the blood lineage more and more impure, and the sharing eyes degenerated into red eyes.
Even the degraded Sharingan still has powerful abilities. It is said that during the time when the red eyes appear, the Kuruta tribe can exert 100% of the power of the whole system, but they cannot appear for a long time.After the mysterious man attacked the village at night, the surviving clansman lived a life of non-stop migration again. In the end, the new patriarch and the daimyo of the Snow Country confessed their experiences and found asylum. that power.
However, the good times didn’t last long. In order to consolidate the regime after the last daimyo Yuno Daiki came to power, he began to suppress and persecute the Moderate faction. During that time, many officials of the Moderate faction died at home. He was charged with insufficient strength and insufficient protection, and was questioned and rejected by the people of the whole country. During that time, there were heavy casualties. Dahui reached out to help them when they were down and wanted to use them, but he was selfish and arrogant by nature. Believe anyone, and in the name of the alliance, the patriarch's daughter was named a princess and imprisoned in the palace. This person is Yuna Yuno who is about to get married.
After a brief silence, Naruko's brain felt more and more confused. After all, she was just a college student in the Heping Dynasty/Dynasty, and she knew nothing about political power. The daimyo trusts Hokage very much. Except for intervening in military expenditures and supplies, under normal circumstances, they will not go deep into the interior to interfere with decisions/powers.
According to Sasuke, although the previous Daimyo Yuno Daiki of the Snow Country has abdicated with great merit, he must still have military power and immeasurable strength in his hands. This description is not appropriate, but he is indeed like a puppet now, and the military and political power must still be in the hands of Yukino Daiki.
The Kuruta tribe is a branch of the Uchiha tribe, so it makes sense for Yuuna Yuna to kneel to Sasuke.
"Sasuke, you..." Naruko suddenly turned his head to look at his teammate with a cold side face, eyes downcast and hidden in the shadow of the light, hesitating for a long time before opening his mouth. "You...you don't mean to..."
"Yes, I want to help them overthrow this country built on the blood and corpses of the Kuruta tribe." Sasuke looked sideways, and the original black eyes had turned into scarlet Ergouyu Sharingans.
"Writing, Sharingan..." Kurapika suddenly yelled at the side, his brown pupils turned into fiery red eyes in an instant because of surprise and excitement, he ran to Sasuke with a slightly curved smile on his mouth, knelt down on one knee and clenched his right hand In front of the chest, with a pious expression on his face. "It must be the spirit of Indra-sama who guides Sasuke-sama to help us! In this way... my sister will be saved..."
Speaking of this, the blond boy showed a lonely and sad expression, but it disappeared quickly for a moment. He raised his eyes and looked at Sasuke, "Master Sasuke will protect us, right? We have not been abandoned by Uchiha ,Yeah?"
"En." Sasuke's eyes were slightly dazed, he turned his head to look elsewhere, and replied with a soft but firm voice.
"But..." Naruko hesitated to speak, pursed his lips and found a reason to push Kurapika away, sat up straight and said seriously. "Sasuke, do you know what you're talking about and what you're doing? We are ninjas from Konoha Ninja Village in the Land of Fire. We are here to represent the entire Land of Fire. Every move we make is related to the relationship between the two countries." Peace and friendship, you..."
"Naruko, you are so naive, you haven't seen the essence of this matter until now." Before Naruko could finish speaking, Sasuke interrupted her first. "This was originally a trap. The daimyo of the Snow Country never thought of getting along with the Fire Country. Otherwise, even if we committed serious crimes in the Snow Country, the Snow Country would only have the right to imprison us because of the relationship between the two countries, but it did not. The power imprisoned us and even wanted us, and you know the strength of Mr. Kakashi best. Ordinary guards are not his opponents at all. They can stab the daimyo under his nose. This shows that the snow country has premeditated, and I am afraid they hired ninjas from other countries assist……"
"There are only four of us. If Yumin Daiki insists that we assassinated Yumin Daisuke, what do you think Hokage-sama will do? The Snow Country is located in the remote northwest of the continental plate, and it will take ten days just to come here." It will take a long time, and you still need to go through the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, once the battle starts, the defense will become weak, do you think Hokage-sama will put Konoha and the entire Land of Fire in danger for four people?"
"Naruko, I won't force you to help us, but... ever since the Uchiha clan was exterminated by that man, I swore that I would only live this life for revenge, and now... I finally met my relatives again, and I will I also don’t want to see my relatives die in front of me.”
What kind of mess is this...
Why are there so many conspiracies and tricks interspersed in the ninja world that advocates force...
The effect of the chakra-suppressing medicine passed, and the body's injuries began to recover quickly, but Naruko stayed up all night, and her mind turned over and over again what her teammates said during the day, until then she guessed that she seemed to be always indifferent to this chakra. In addition to training, the male teammate who doesn't care about anything else doesn't understand at all. His situation is much more complicated and dark than she imagined.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. There are many things I hate, but there is nothing I like. As for dreams, they are just talking casually. I am not interested. I have my own ambitions. I want to revive the Uchiha clan and Kill that man."
Recalling Sasuke's self-introduction in the early days of the seventh class, Naruko seemed to understand his thoughts and practices, but...probably an occupational disease, as a ninja, Naruko always felt that he should obey the orders of his superiors instead of making decisions without authorization.
Sasuke's analysis is correct, there is absolutely no problem with Kakashi-sensei's strength against ordinary guards, but to be able to imprison him, there must be a more powerful ninja organization behind him, and this organization has no position at all. Konoha, who is the head of the five great ninja villages, pays attention to what is the purpose of this organization, is it just for money or there are other conspiracy...
Naruko turned over, the more he thought about it, the more chaotic his thinking became, his brain was as sticky as paste, and he couldn't figure it out. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any suitable reason, so he had to give up and start thinking about the problem in front of him. .
Because Kyuubi is the fox who used to protect the Kuruta tribe, I don’t know if Sasuke told them that he is Kyuubi Jinchuriki, probably not yet, if he told them, the tribe’s attitude towards her should be respectful.
So now, she is facing a problem, whether to stand still or help them.
It would be great if Kakashi-sensei was here, and I would definitely tell her clearly what to do...
Naruko stayed up all night because she wondered whether to participate in the rebellion of the Kuruta clan, but the news from the Daimyo Mansion the next morning forced her to make an immediate decision—Konoha, the Country of Fire Ninja Kakashi Hatake and Sakura Haruno were suspected of assassinating Yukino Daisuke, the daimyo of the Snow Country, an unforgivable crime. After high-level discussions, they decided to hang them at noon tomorrow.
—
At the same time, on the most prosperous street in Snow Country.
"Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruko haven't been caught yet, and I don't know what Konoha's ninja is up to. It would be great if they could be caught together and then executed together." In front of the bulletin board where the arrest warrant was posted, several people Residents of Snow Country chattered.
"What do you know? This is called leading a snake out of its hole. I heard that Hatake Kakashi is the teacher of the two of them. If the teacher is going to be executed, they will definitely not ignore him. When they come to rescue them, they will catch them all." A middle-aged man with a goatee stroked his beard and said.
"Speaking of which, we have always been friends with the Nation of Fire, why did Konoha's ninja assassinate Daimyo?" Pushing his glasses, another resident asked curiously.
"Oh, I know you're ignorant, haven't you heard about Princess Yuno Yuna?" The man who spoke first glanced around with black eyes, and continued in a low voice. "I heard that she is the daughter of the head of the Kuruta clan. You know the Kuruta clan. It is the clan with ominous red eyes. It is said that their red eyes have the effect of demagoguery. It is probably Konoha's." The ninja was bewitched by that enchantress to do such a rebellious thing..."
He whispered something again, causing people around to cover their mouths and giggle, and finally said, "If I want to say it, I should kill all the people of the Kuruta tribe, and this ominous race should completely disappear from this world." He raised his voice.
"Tsk, stupid people, advocating force and fearing force at the same time." Years of experience as a ninja allowed Kisame to clearly hear the residents' discussions even when standing on the opposite roof, with thin lips slightly curved to reveal a sharp edge teeth, sneered.
This reminded him of the dark rule of the Kirin Ninja Village in the country of water. A large number of blood-successor limiters were regarded as assassinations of a different kind. In those years, even the sky was dyed scarlet, but he did not feel sympathy. After all, he had Xueji doesn't have the ability to protect himself, which will only make people feel ridiculous. The so-called aliens must have some aspects beyond ordinary people, so they won't be tolerated.
"That Uchiha Sasuke is your younger brother..." Seeing that his words did not attract the attention of the people around him, Kisame tilted his head slightly, and looked at the man in the same attire as himself from behind the thin tassels of the bamboo hat. "He's not like you, Mr. Itachi, I never thought that he would get involved in such a boring thing as overthrowing the country... Oh... No, it should be said this way... I didn't expect him to think so much about his tribe, even if it's just the Uchiha clan. Branch, he also takes it so seriously."
"..." The man called 'Mr. Itachi' lowered his bamboo hat, light-colored sunlight fell, and beams of light and shade hit his face. The stand-up collar blocked half of his face, revealing only a pair of scarlet eyes with pupils in the shape of three tadpoles. There was no answer, and the expression on his face did not fluctuate.
"Speaking of which, Hatake Kakashi, who is going to be hanged tomorrow, can be regarded as a difficult opponent. If there is a chance, I really want to compete with him..." Recalling the night when he assassinated Daimyo, Kisame's thin lips slightly curled up. With a playful face, he didn't expect that besides Uchiha Sasuke, there would be a man who has the same Sharingan as Uchiha Itachi, and he can use it with great proficiency. If Itachi hadn't warned him not to act rashly, Kakashi would have been defeated by him long ago. "I heard that he is also your senior Anbu, you are really merciless."
As if feeling his fighting spirit, the shark muscles on the back also trembled with hunger and thirst.
"Senior Anbu..." Itachi looked away from the wanted notice with the appearance of a handsome boy printed on the bulletin board, looked up to the southeast direction—the direction where Konoha Ninja Village was located, and his tone was indifferent. "There is no need to show mercy."
"..." What a terrible man. Even though he has been with him for a long time, Kisame still thinks Uchiha Itachi is a complicated and difficult person. Fortunately, he has no intention of establishing a deep friendship with him, "Really An unpleasant country, just like Payne’s hometown of the Rain Country, it’s snowing and raining, it’s very humid, it’s annoying... let’s start the war quickly, we’ll get the bounty and go back early.”
"People from the land of water still hate humidity?" Itachi shook the heavy snow off his shoulders, squinting at the complaining Kisame.
"It's not the humidity itself that I hate, but the changes brought about by the humidity..." Kisame continued, looking at the raised knife handle with her head tilted. "No one cut it, the shark muscle is almost rusted."
"..." Itachi glanced at the big knife on Kisame's back, closed his eyes, his red eyes turned black, and said calmly. "It will come in handy tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the wanted notice on the bulletin board again, his black eyes gloomy like a tide.
—
A few days have passed since the assassination of Daimyo in the Snow Country, but there is no news from Konoha about coordinating the incident. Is it true that the four of them will be abandoned as Sasuke said, or does Hokage-sama have other plans?
After drinking the medicine, the bitter taste spread in her mouth, but Naruko's brain was unprecedentedly chaotic. She had already sorted out the ins and outs of this incident. I am afraid that the current puppet daimyo did not meet the wishes of the previous daimyo, so Yukino Daiki wanted to borrow This incident gets rid of him or gives him a blow or something.After all, they are descendants of the Uchiha. As the Kuruta people who have been framed and restricted for many years, they are not going to continue to swallow their anger and wait for death. Instead, they want to use this incident to overthrow the rule of the previous daimyo and truly gain the right to survive in this country.
Does Kakashi-sensei know these things?
Why is there no movement at all on his side, is he waiting for Hokage-sama's order or something else happened?
Intuition tells Naruko that something else has changed, probably not because the teacher doesn't want to do something, but because he is suppressed and incapable and unable to do anything. After all, the teacher always teaches them to be flexible, assess the situation, and adapt to the situation.
but……
Naruko put the medicine bowl on the bedside table and fell into a dilemma. It was like playing Jiuqu Lianlian. A person who thinks on his own, what he has decided is that he will not turn back if he hits the south wall, so he is determined to help the Kuruta tribe overthrow the decadent rule of the previous daimyo, not to mention whether it is successful or not. Their current identities are Konoha's ninjas, and they cannot do anything that will damage the relationship between the two countries.
As a Konoha ninja who has not yet been captured, she must calmly maintain a rational state, analyze the pros and cons of this matter objectively, and focus on the overall situation and not do more serious things on impulse, however... Tomorrow at noon The teacher is about to be hanged!She can't just watch Kakashi-sensei and Sakuraichi being killed.
What should I do……
What exactly should I do...
—— Naruko Uzumaki.
Just when reason and impulse collided in Naruko's mind, in the spiritual world, she was 'invited' into the barrier again by Kyuubi.
——Kyuubi, I'm not in the mood to play 'temptation' with you right now.
Unlike the tense encounters in the previous few times, Naruko was worried about the matter of her teacher and teammates, her slender eyebrows were twisted into a Sichuan shape, and she glanced at the unexpectedly quiet Kyuubi, and turned to leave, but when she took a step was shouted.
—— Naruko Uzumaki, I... I have one thing I want to ask you.
Although it was a violent and arrogant voice, it was faintly awkward.
Naruko thought she heard it wrong, she paused, and subconsciously looked back at Kyuubi who had stood up from the prison.
——What are you thinking about?
—Smelly brat!Don't be too complacent, don't think that with the seal, I can't do anything to you!
There was always a quarrel if there was a disagreement, Naruko raised her eyebrows and watched the bubbling chakra overflow the cage and break through the wind, but stopped abruptly one meter away from her, and closed it with a rustle. go back.
Its eyes became unnatural, flickering with tangled and hesitant light, and there seemed to be some kind of emotion that she couldn't understand faintly in it, although it was very reluctant to admit that this kind of Nine Tails didn't seem like someone who only knew about destruction and destruction. A demon is more like a person, a person with feelings.
--You are a good person.
After a long time, Kyuubi choked out five words, Naruko came back from the dream, surprised by being issued a good person card, stared at Kyuubi dumbfounded for a while, but saw that Kyuubi's eyes instantly became fierce , said angrily.
—Smelly girl, didn't you hear me when I said 'you're a good man'!Shouldn't you be happy to hear this!What kind of expression do you have, do you want to fight!And why haven't you asked me what I want you to do!
No one would be happy to be issued a good guy card...
Naruko felt that Nine-Tails was weird today. Although she still had such a violent and fierce tone and expression, she seemed to know how to respect her a little bit, and she no longer released Chakra to take her body without saying a word like the previous meeting.
—Oh, what do you want me to do for you?
Naruko asked in a friendly manner.
——I would like to ask you to help me protect the Kuruta tribe, which can be regarded as repaying the old man of the six paths for his upbringing.
Kyuubi's angry golden pupils softened a bit, as if recalling something happy, in the dark cage in the background, the pair of rays of light that seemed to shine through the cracks were extraordinarily dazzling, Naruko recalled inappropriately before The Inuyasha that Tianjiqiao met—that is the gentle eyes of a monster with feelings, but also the firm eyes of wanting to protect things in his heart.
"Although I don't understand how you human beings use demons for power, I can feel the unwillingness and anger of that fox, and I can also see that your spirit and will are being eaten away by it. Maybe you should talk to it, try To understand its inner world."
It seems that I can understand your inner world. I was willing to give my life to protect the Uchiha people. Even though I was expelled from fear and loathing later, you still want to protect them even if you are bloodthirsty and killing. Maybe you are grateful It's not that scary.
In comparison, I seem hesitant, mother-in-law, even Kyuubi is willing to ask for help from Jinchuriki who imprisoned it, but she is in Hesitating and entangled whether to wait for orders rationally or impulsively to save the teacher and teammates, and put myself into a dead end, it's really bad...
--are we friends?
If you think too much, you will be bound by stereotypes. Naruko's blue eyes regained their original expression, and she added with a smile to Kami Kyuubi's doubtful golden eyes——I will only help my friends, if you are not me If you are a friend of mine, I will not promise to protect any Kuruta clansmen, just let them fend for themselves.
——You... take advantage of the fire!
——Tsk, I also know the idiom 'to take advantage of the fire', you are becoming more and more human, Nine Tails... Have you thought about it, are you my friend... If you haven't thought about it, I'll leave first, wait for you to think about it Call me again.
When you're done, turn around and leave.
—Smelly brat!Sooner or later I will kill you!
Nine-tails' violent roar came from behind, but when the girl left the barrier, she whispered.
——Even if I say I'm not friends with you, you'll still help me... Naruko Uzumaki, thank you.
——There is no need to say thank you between friends, I will protect the Kuruta people you cherish.
Naruko didn't look back or slow down, she had more important things to do now.
However, what Naruko didn't expect was that the first answer to Kyuubi would break his promise.
—
People who have never experienced war do not know the horror of war. However, sometimes advancing is not being fearless, but being able to move forward bravely for the faith in your heart even with fear.
On the question of whether to overthrow the rule of the previous daimyo, the elders of the Kuruta clan have experienced a long period of migration and are divided into two factions. Yuuna Yuna is still the princess of the snow country, so the Kuruta tribe will not be abandoned, and they can survive even in the cracks. Another radical/radical faction headed by Ukon believes that everyone should have the pursuit of beauty The power to live, the Kuruta clan is called the "unlucky clan" is also a rumor that the high-level officials are afraid of their abilities. The time has come for the family to tell the world to abandon their blood and family, they are just ordinary people and yearn for peace, and now is the best time.
The two factions are arguing endlessly over whether to reach an agreement tomorrow to participate in overthrowing the rule of the previous daimyo.
"Hmph, Elder Sato means that the glory and survival of the clan should be borne by Yuna alone?" Sasuke said with a sneer after hearing Sato's theory of "should remain unchanged to cope with all changes". "Why? You are also a member of the Kuruta tribe. Why did this heavy responsibility fall on her shoulders? Why did she give up her freedom and dignity to fulfill your happy life? It's not fair that souls smile happily in a caged and groveling world!"
"As a young master who has been pampered and pampered since childhood with a pure blood, and has never experienced the world, what do you know! Do you understand the feeling that people of that race can only die in front of you one by one, and you are powerless! Have you ever seen blood flow into rivers, corpses Do you know the feeling of having the whole world collapse overnight!" That day the mysterious man attacked the village at night, and Sato fought him to the death as the backbone of the village, but his strength was not enough Fighting against that man, his companions died one by one under the cattail fan, every swing of the chain brought out large swathes of blood, his wife and son also died on the way to escape, and he was killed by the belated Kyuubi If you save it, you still have one life left.
From that day on, Sato vowed to protect the villagers even if he lived without dignity.
"You mean... the feeling of having lost the whole world overnight?" The man's expressionless face, his indifferent and cold back, who was walking further and further away, flashed in his mind. No one knows that kind of feeling better than him. Feeling lost...
"Sure enough, you have forgotten Uchiha's pride after being in the greenhouse for a long time." The clear black eyes were replaced by scarlet Ergodama Sharingan, Sasuke's face was slightly distorted by hatred and anger, and he gritted his teeth. "I think you are old and confused. Do you think that if you just compromise blindly, Yukino Daiki will let the Kuruta tribe go? No, it should be said that you know better than anyone else why Yuino Daiki suppressed the Kuruta tribe. The reason is that you are just a coward who has become timid because of the fear of losing again, and you will only kill yourself if you continue like this."
"Sasuke-sama is right, Sato, you should let go of what happened in the past, it's not your fault, no one in the whole village can fight against that person, even me... I was saved by Kyuubi from being poisoned Yes." You Jin glanced at the boy who was suppressing his anger, and he had to sigh in his heart, this boy has a pair of eyes that can see through people's hearts, quick thinking and his own unique insights, and in time he will definitely show his sharpness, and he can be called a shadow who can stand on his own A super ninja, he really deserves to be a descendant of Uchiha.
"You know it too! We survived that day because of Nine-Tails, and now we don't even know where Nine-Tails is, we... we who were once abandoned have already given up our dignity and courage, what can we do? What!" Sato shouted emotionally, as if immersed in the pain of losing too many clansmen that night. "Tell me what we can do!"
"As long as you think, you can do anything." The door of the conference room was pushed open with a creak, and Naruko, who had already changed into the Kuruta costume, walked in.
Sasuke blinked his red eyes, and subconsciously opened his eyes to say something, when he saw the girl take out a ninja forehead from the ninja bag and hand it to him—this is the ninja forehead he took out when he decided to participate in the Kuruta clan's subversion of the daimyo's rule. After that, even Naruko was able to realize what bad consequences would be caused if he made trouble in other countries as Konoha Ninja Village. As a newcomer, how could he not think of it.
"You..." Sasuke hesitated for a moment, and looked at the pair of blue eyes for two seconds. The thin bangs of the drooping eyes just blocked the corner of the slightly curved mouth, and took the ninja forehead and put it in the ninja tool bag on his waist, "here Don't hold me back any longer."
"...Oh." Naruko responded, and was interrupted by Sato with a sneer when she was about to say something.
"Oh, take a look, even a stinky brat can't stop you, who allowed you to break into the conference room without permission, you..."
"Master Sato, she is not an outsider." Sasuke raised his hand to stop Sato from howling, raised his chin slightly and pointed at the girl with a firm expression. "Didn't you say that you have given up your dignity and courage? She is your dignity and courage—Nine Tails."
—
Sasuke is such a horrible kid.
As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who once guarded the Kuruta tribe, Naruko was given a heavy responsibility. He sat at the round table of the tactical team and listened to their strategic plan for the mission. The male teammate calmly discussed tactics with several adults. Zizi's resentment towards geniuses is deeper, and it's true when you think about it carefully. Uchiha has been Konoha's high combat power since ancient times, ranking among the best in terms of comprehensive strength and intelligence.
Soon, the meeting ended, Naruko helped organize the documents, got acquainted with the members of the Assault Sharp Knife Squad who will follow tomorrow, and returned to the place where he lived. The appearance of saying nothing.
"Naruko... my lord... you will definitely save my sister, right?"
elder sister……
Yuuno Yuna...
This child is the son of the patriarch...
"Yes, I bet my life that I will bring your sister back intact." After finishing speaking, he added. "By the way, just call me Naruko, plus my lord...it's too strange..."
"Hi, Naruko."
That night, Kurapika said a lot to her. Yuuna Yuna's original name was Kazimir, but she changed her surname to the royal family after being sent to the Daimyo Mansion. In Kurapika's impression, her sister is a gentle and strong person. Because of the patriarch's father's conservative style, he hoped that they could live as ordinary people without the influence of blood successors. They were forbidden to learn ninjutsu since they were young, and Kazimir would sneak to the training ground to watch others train. She is very talented and intelligent. He has obtained the basic three skills and stands out among his peers.
Her dream was to become an excellent ninja, but she failed. On the way to Daimyo Mansion as a hostage, Kurapika's temperament is similar to Kazimir's, and he also secretly learned some basic ninjutsu, but his talent is not as good as that of his sister. Can only deal with petty thieves and robbers.
He told Naruko that when he was ten years old, he should have gone to the Daming Mansion as a hostage in exchange for his sister, but her sister rejected the proposal for his freedom, that is, she agreed to this year's marriage at that time. Kurapika's only younger brother, Kazimir, is willing to do anything, including freedom and dignity.
This touched Naruko deeply, because she is also a person with a younger brother.
Probably due to the living environment, she didn't know if Kazimir could do this for her brother if she were replaced by herself.
Naruko seemed to understand why Sasuke was willing to help Kazimir.
In the early morning of the second day, the sky had just dawned, and the rising sun had just climbed the mountainside. The Kuruta tribe had already woken up early, including women, children, old and young who had not been organized into the team, gathered on both sides of the tribe square, and Naruko and others who were going to fight People lined up in a column in the center of the square.
First, the patriarch of the Kuruta clan read out the pre-war mobilization oath inherited from the Uchiha clan in the early years, and then read out the establishment of the three teams. Ojinchuriki, she is the symbol of the courage of the Kuruta tribe, so she should be active and brave. Finally, the descendants of Uchiha made a concluding speech.
The pre-war mobilization meeting was over. When Naruko, who was the assault unit, was about to leave the tribe with the team leader, Sasuke ran over. Today they are fighting for the freedom of the Kuruta tribe, and they are also fighting to save their teachers and teammates .
"You who didn't participate in the war, don't hold back my people." Without a ninja forehead guard, his fluffy black hair was blown into a floating color in the snow, and his eyes were as black as lacquer. Faintly, showing some awkwardness, added. "Retreat if you can't. I don't want to find you with only a cold corpse."
Although Sasuke tried his best to keep his voice down, the players who had learned ninjutsu all had very sharp hearing. Hearing his voice, they all looked around curiously. There were still a few minutes before the scheduled departure time, and Naruko hurriedly pulled the boy's sleeve to the wind place, whispered. "Hey, Sasuke, how can you say that in front of the tribe, I am a symbol of courage, how can you retreat..."
Naruko was still a little nervous. After all, this was her first real battle. There were tens of thousands of guards in the Daming Mansion. Even if one could stand up to ten, it was still very difficult for a team of a hundred to challenge tens of thousands.
She told herself in her heart that it didn't matter, her teacher and companions were waiting for her to rescue her on the gallows, let alone tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands and millions had to rush forward, and she couldn't just stand by because of her cowardice watched them die.
If you die together, you will be a hero again after 18 years.
Naruko already has the consciousness of 'being killed at any time'.
Assault squad leader Clemello came over, scratched his neat black hair and smiled at them, "Sasuke-sama, don't worry, Kyuubi-sama will protect us!"
"..." These people have already equated Naruko with Kyuubi. This is what Sasuke is worried about. Although he has never seen Naruko's Nine-Tails transformation, it seems that the Nine-Tails transformation will hurt her from Sakuraichi. .
Whether he is greedy or naive, Sasuke, who is only 12 years old, has already lost too much, and he is unwilling to lose anyone, including Naruko, Sakuraichi, and Kakashi-sensei, including the one who met with difficulty. Kuruta people.
If possible, he hopes that everyone can come back here one by one.
"In short, be careful." Sasuke seems to be able to understand Sato's mood now. People who have lost too much are always afraid and fearful. Even if the blonde girl patted her chest and promised that she would survive, she still couldn't calm down his fear. .
"That's right." Clemenello returned to the team to explain something, Naruko suddenly turned to look at Sasuke, and asked the question that he had been thinking about last night. "Sasuke...have you...have you ever thought...if we win this war and the Kuruta tribe can obtain the right to live in the land of snow, you...you...would you go back to...the village? "
This is what Naruko is worried about.
Naruko doesn't know exactly what happened when the Uchiha was exterminated. He only knows that there seems to be only him and the murderer in the Uchiha clan—Uchiha Itachi, and the Kuruta clan is a branch of the Uchiha clan. After the war is won, Sasuke will choose to return to the village, or will he stay here to live with his people.
"I don't have to ask you to go back to Konoha, what I mean is..." The heavy snow fell, like countless flying feathers blinding people's eyes, Naruko saw his male teammate tightening his lips, and quickly waved his hand to explain.
