[Comprehensive] Sasuke, come back
Chapter 74
It is said to be the commander-in-chief's office, but it is just a temporary house built by Tudun Ninjutsu. There is only one earthen table. 23-year-old Hinata is sitting in front of the table. On the table are piles of documents and scrolls.
Hearing the regular knock on the door, she looked up at the person who was coming, and two dusty figures crashed into her field of vision.
The dim light hit the thinner figure than in memory, and the mask was removed, revealing a familiar face.
The air in the house instantly became thinner, as if traveling a long distance through thousands of rivers and mountains.
Hinata's light-colored pupils constricted for a while, and she opened her mouth but made no sound.
He got up and walked around the table, and performed a standard Hokage salute, as if struggling with how to address him, it took him a long time to say a word. "Ji has already told me about your situation."
"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, I failed your expectations. I failed to protect Konoha, and even my subordinates failed to protect me. I..." The 23-year-old Hinata no longer stutters because of nervousness, with slightly lowered eyes and thick eyelashes A silhouette was left on his face, his face was pale and exhausted, and the circles around his eyes were darkened, obviously he hadn't closed his eyes for several nights.
"Hina, Hinata, I..." Hinata, who has faded from the youthfulness of the girl, looks mature and attractive. She has experienced the baptism of war so that she can control her emotions well, but Naruko feels inexplicably against harmony. Distressed or guilty.
Why did Konoha become like this in her hands seven years later...
Sure enough, she is still not suitable for Hokage...
Sasuke hadn't seen Hinata since he left the village. His impression of her was that he stuttered and would point fingers when he saw people. Unexpectedly, ten years later, she would look so amazing. He unconsciously looked at her twice , Pulling down the mask broke the awkward atmosphere.
"Reminiscing about the past is unnecessary. The most urgent task is to rescue the captured Shikamaru. What's your plan?"
Hinata looked at the 16-year-old Sasuke with a subtle expression on his face, but it disappeared for a moment.
She looked at Naruko, hesitated to speak, turned around and handed her the unsealed scroll on the table.
"Shikamaru has already noticed that spies have been mixed into the ninja alliance stationed in the country of fire, but in order to obtain information and not startle the enemy, he has already made complete preparations..." Hinata paused when she said this , looking at Naruko with a trace of sadness in his eyes.
"What to prepare?"
"Preparation for sacrifice."
"..." Naruko's eyes froze for a moment, and his pupils dilated to reveal an expression of surprise beyond comprehension. "He knew that the stronghold would be attacked, but he didn't run away? Why? Didn't he know that he was the commander-in-chief of the Ninja Alliance? He..."
"Naruko." Naruko couldn't control his emotions, Sasuke patted her on the shoulder, looked at Hinata and signaled her to continue.
"It is precisely because he is the commander-in-chief that he cannot escape early. Under the terrorist rule of the five major powers headed by Danzo, the morale of the coalition forces has gradually weakened over time, and the number of casualties has skyrocketed. If there is another explosion at this time There are spies inside, which will have an impact on the hard-won military spirit..." The enchantment team set up an enchantment around the house, and when it was confirmed that they would not be monitored or discovered, Hinata took the two of them to the Tudun to dig out The underground cave, when he said this, he clenched the cup with both hands.
She saw Naruko frowning for a moment, and then glanced at Sasuke, whose expression never fluctuated.
Among female friends, she is the best friend with Naruko Ino, but compared to the optimistic and confident Ino, who was neglected because of her lack of talent since she was a child, she is more intimate with Naruko, who is hated and rejected by the whole village. She was able to guess what was in her mind based on the changes in the girl's expression.
She can understand Naruko's current mood. After all, she came here seven years later by accident. Everything that happened here has nothing to do with her. As a person in the past, she just needs to find a way to go back to the past, but now... …they really need her help.
Hinata took a sip of water, took a deep breath, and continued to explain the reason.
"Shikamaru handed over the general command to me a week before being captured. He and Neji are the people you entrusted with important tasks. Neji is a member of the Hyuga clan. Although he died, the heavy responsibility he carried is up to you. I took over, so I became the commander-in-chief of the ninja alliance stationed in the Land of Wind."
"Even ninjas have patriarchy. What's more, I didn't even have the right to inherit the clan before, and the enemy didn't recognize my ability at all. Shikamaru seized this point of the enemy and turned the coalition operation on the Land of Winds underground. Logistics, responsible for the transfer of military supplies and personnel, while he leads the coalition forces of the Land of Fire to confront the enemy head-on, establish prestige and revive the momentum."
"Actually, he dispatched the main coalition forces of the Fire Nation to this place in batches a week ago, leaving only the old, weak, sick, disabled and ordinary villagers guarding the Fire Nation stronghold. He fooled everyone including me. , Successfully killed one member of the Akatsuki organization and wounded three, and wiped out one-third of the main combat force members under Danzo's command in the stronghold, of course, the coalition forces also paid the price of annihilation of the entire army."
Hinata handed Naruko the scroll that Shikamaru sent before the captives, and the words on it were all written in blood.
Hinata, I'm done here too, let's take a step to see Godaime.
They want to kill me to destroy hope, and I won't let them.
Believe me, I will become a fire that illuminates the village like the third and fifth generations.
I will also say for you what I couldn't say to Neji.
I will also tell all the Hyuga clansmen that Hinata Hinata is the pride of Konoha.
Signed: Shikamaru Nara.
Shikamaru……
Naruko covered her mouth reflexively, tears were rolling in her eyes, but she was stubborn and refused to fall.
Unexpectedly, the young man who said "I'm dead in trouble" could do this for the world, for the village, for his companions, and for hope.
She can't cry, tears are an insult to a brave soldier who dies.
but……
"Hinata, what are you going to do?" Sasuke, who hadn't spoken yet, asked her one step ahead. Naruko looked sideways at the boy, the right side of his face was hidden in the shadow, and a soft halo fell on the left side of his face, with sharp edges and corners. There was a cold breath in the facial features, and even the voice was frozen.
he is angry?Although I don't know what he is angry about.
But now is not the time to think about these things, Naruko shifted his gaze to Hinata.
"We don't have time. If we procrastinate, we will perish ourselves. However, we haven't fully obtained all the information about the organization that supports Danzangxiao behind the scenes. They are all capable of fighting against one hundred, and they also have the cells of the pillars. Based on the [-]-man army created on the basis, we only have a hundred people who are not their opponents at all, and we only know part of the organization's leader's plan, we..."
"You just need to answer whether you want to follow the path Shikamaru paved for the coalition forces, or don't you want him to die?" Sasuke's habit of interrupting people's conversations was repeated, and Naruko didn't notice the too cold and serious tone frown.
"Hinata, although I'm not the Fifth Generation, I don't want Shikamaru to die, no matter in the past or in the future." Naruko rubbed her eyes and gave her a bright smile, adding. "Sasuke also wants to express this meaning."
"..." Sasuke was taken aback, and turned to look at the wall. "I just don't want to make him happy."
"Naruko, Sasuke..." Hinata looked at the girl with a sunny smile, then at the boy with an awkward expression, recalling a day in the spring two years ago.
The sun was just right that day, the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming. It was the second day after the letter of appointment for 'Naruko Uzumaki' to take over as the Fifth Hokage was issued.
The third generation of Hokage is old and disrespectful. He disarmed and returned to the field as early as a month ago. Since then, he has never heard of ninja affairs. The good-tempered Naruko was forced to activate the Hokage state one month in advance, and almost moved into the Hokage office.
In the early morning of that day, after she finished reporting the task, she saw Hokage-sama in workaholic mode with blank eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
"Ahem..." Hinata had to pretend to cough, trying to pull back Hokage-sama who was wandering in the air, but it was Nara Shikamaru, the next Hokage assistant who was busy writing, and the latter unceremoniously threw a The scroll was precisely hit on Hokage-sama's forehead.
"Oh, it hurts..." Naruko came back to his senses, looked at Shikamaru with tears in his eyes, saw that he ignored her, then looked at Hinata again, and then laughed out of a sudden realization. "Sorry Hinata, I, I... didn't hear what you said just now."
Hinata chuckled, and repeated what she said just now, but Naruko stood up abruptly when she finished speaking, rushed to her as fast as she could, and pulled her out the door, ignoring the noise coming from the office. Nara howls.
When they came to the gate of the village, the man in the black cloak was leaning against the wall with his arms folded. When he saw them approaching, his dark eyes lit up and quickly returned to their original indifferent color.
Hinata wisely didn't follow and stopped a hundred meters away from them.
Naruko walked over, and imitated him and stood against the wall. From a distance, the two looked like Konoha gatekeepers who were about to dry out.
Facing the straight road facing the Konoha gate, three figures jumped out from the horizon.
"Go back, I'm leaving." Sasuke broke the silence first, turned his back to Naruko, but didn't act as if he was waiting for her to say something.
"En." Naruko responded, looked at his back for a while, and then spoke. "Don't die."
"..." Her words made him turn around, the corners of his mouth were tightened, his face was tense, and he squeezed out a word for a long time. "Don't underestimate Uchiha, Hokage is the one who is the easiest to die."
"I won't die. You and Sakura are protecting me outside the village and inside the village, so I won't die so easily." Naruko smiled and said serious words, and added a sentence at the end. "Well, I received Sasuke's concern."
"..." Sasuke was taken aback, then turned to look to the right. "Hmph, you're being sentimental."
At that time, the sun was just right, and the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming.
It wasn't until the four figures disappeared into the horizon that Hokage-sama turned around leisurely, and the third person from class [-] was standing in the direction he came from.
Even if we take different paths, even if we go in the opposite direction, even if we are in different places in the world.
The teacher of the seventh class will always be Hatake Kakashi, and the students will always be Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruko and Haruno Sakuraichi.
It's just that things are impermanent and life is unpredictable.
When the three got together again, it was life and death.
The author has something to say: the future Er Shao's tsundere attributes are still full.
Hearing the regular knock on the door, she looked up at the person who was coming, and two dusty figures crashed into her field of vision.
The dim light hit the thinner figure than in memory, and the mask was removed, revealing a familiar face.
The air in the house instantly became thinner, as if traveling a long distance through thousands of rivers and mountains.
