Despite Ino’s warning, Sasuke drove the chain through his heart without hesitation. At the same time, Sasuke notices that the space has changed and looks around.
“Is this…Leaf Village?”
Sasuke soon noticed that the Sharingan was a space created by phantom magic. Infinite Tsukuyomi, Sasuke immediately came up with the answer.
“Is it okay if I go out to find Naruto here?”
Sasuke started wandering around the leaf village in search of Naruto. And I found that people here do not recognize themselves and that the original leaves are slightly different. And above all, he also learned that the ten tails chakra was eroding his body little by little.
“I need to find Naruto soon…!”
Sasuke opened his Sharingan and while looking for Naruto, he suddenly found traces of red chakra. Sasuke immediately noticed that it was the Gumi Chakra and followed the trail. And I found Naruto living with the 4th Hokage and a woman named Kushina. And a red fox called Kurama also lived next to Naruto.
Upon first seeing Naruto, Sasuke spoke to him and reached out his hand, but Naruto, like other genjutsu people, did not recognize himself or even touch him. However, Sasuke did not give up and continued to follow Naruto and talk to him. Then Sasuke noticed one thing.
Naruto looked the happiest he had ever seen. Did you say that Infinite Tsukuyomi shows what the target wants most? What Naruto wanted… It was just a small, ordinary life, a family.
Laughing and talking with others… Naruto said that ninjas hate other humans… In fact, he only wanted to be like everyone else. just family… I wanted to have normal happiness with my friends.
“Naruto… are you… are you… happy right now …?”
[ Naru… saturday..!]
While Naruto was flustered, another figure of Sasuke disappeared. Naruto continued to look at the place where Sasuke had disappeared, then took Sasuke’s hand and headed for the graduation ceremony. Sasuke’s fantasy just now bothered me so much, but I decided to erase it from my head and focus on the graduation ceremony.
“Naruto, why are you like this?”
“…”
“Naruto!”
“Yes!”
Sasuke noticed from earlier that Naruto couldn’t concentrate on the graduation ceremony and Minato’s speech. Sasuke’s question surprised Naruto, who laughed a little and evaded it. Sasuke patted Naruto’s head and said without further contemplation.
“Well, tell me if you have any concerns.”
“Yeah, thank you. Sasuke”
“Eh.. again… lastly, we can never pass Naruto, so that’s how you know..!”
Observing this, Minato shouts while glaring at Sasuke during his speech. Others were taken aback when they saw the sudden change of Mito, but those who already knew that Minato was the most famous idiot among the leaves laughed and watched.
“Dad, what if you put that into your speech!”
“Ah..no, Dad is just..!”
“Don’t make excuses!”
“I… At times like this, I really feel like Kushina…”
“Reflection!”
“Yes..yes!”
After a small incident, classmates gathered around Naruto and Sasuke. And each of them started talking about what they would do in the future.
“Shikamaru, what are you going to do after graduation?”
“I don’t have anything specific. To be honest, I want to rest quietly because it’s annoying…”
“It’s like Shikamaru! I’m going to be the best cook in Tong Tong!”
“Heh, this Kiva-sama is the best dog trainer in the leaves…”
“I can’t think of any other job for Kiba. Because…”
“You dude, Shino! You’re so obvious! You’ll study insects without a twist.”
“Of course. Because I’ve dreamed of becoming an insect doctor for a long time.”
“Did you hear that? Sai is about to debut as a painter and hold an exhibition!”
As I was smiling while listening to such a conversation, Ino approached Naruto and asked a question.
“Naruto, what do you want to do?”
“I mean…?”
“Honestly, I’m the most curious of the two. Sasuke… Of course, since Uchi, he will become a police officer. And in my case, since Uribip runs a flower shop, I will take over the family line.”
“Come to think of it, I’m curious too!”
“I… I too… I will take over Hyuuga’s dojo, but… I’m curious… about Naruto-san’s dream…”
At Inoe’s words, everyone’s eyes focused on Naruto. Sasuke also looked at Naruto, wondering if he was really curious. Naruto was embarrassed by the burden of his gaze, but decided to think about his dream once.
“Um…well, I never thought about it…”
crackle-
– Anymore… A night without crying… –
support position-
“…!”
In an instant, an image appeared in Naruto’s mind. It means that he mumbled something while shedding tears. And before the graduation ceremony, I remembered Sasuke’s fantasy. And a voice was heard.
[all… Even if it’s fake… is it okay?]
“What was it…that was…?”
“Naruto?”
“Yes?”
“Something’s wrong with you today… are you sick?”
Sasuke approaches Naruto with a worried expression and puts his hand on his forehead. Not only Sasuke, but other friends also gave Naruto a worried expression. Naruto pretends to be nothing and smiles and opens his mouth.
“Ah…no, I’m fine! I’m just a little tired”
“Okay…Then don’t push yourself too hard.”
“Tell me if it’s difficult!”
“Yes, if it’s Naruto, of course you should help!”
“Of course. Because Naruto…”
“Because we’re best friends!”
Naruto smiled at his friends’ sincere words and nodded. can’t be fake Let’s not think useless thoughts… Naruto thought to hypnotize himself. And I decided to bury the sense of incongruity that I felt for a moment deep in my heart.
“Um…no matter how much I think about it, I still don’t know what to do.”
“Is Naruto the same as Shikamaru?”
“It’s okay! Whatever you do, Naruto will do everything well!”
“Yeah, thank you. Ino”
While I was talking about that with my friends, someone sneaked up behind Naruto and lifted Naruto up. Naruto looked back in surprise and smiled brightly.
“Grandpa Jiraiya!”
“hahaha! Yes, baby. As promised, this old lady is here at the graduation ceremony!”
“I heard you’re busy…Are you okay?”
“Yes! There is nothing more important than the work of the baby! How is this old woman the best?”
“Yes, Grandpa is the best!”
While Jiraiya and Naruto were smiling and hugging each other, Kushina and Kurama approached. Kurama jumped into Naruto’s arms, and Naruto happily stroked Kurama.
“Did Kurama come too? I’m really happy!”
“…”
“Jiraiya-sama, I suddenly told you not to hug Naruto!”
“hahahaha. Sorry, sorry, Kushina! But what about Naruto being cute?”
“Now, Naruto. Shall we go to the ramen restaurant that our princess likes after a long time?”
“Whoa, really?”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t go with you because I’m busy with work…”
“It’s okay. Daddy is a proud Hokage-sama!”
Kushina is behind Naruto having such a conversation… Minato, who is being dragged away by his secretaries from far away, is shouting ‘I’ll have a meal with Naruto too!!’ as he uses his time, but he decides to ignore it.
“Come on, let’s go !”
” Oh, who is this! Isn’t that Naruto!”
“Naruto? Kyaa! Long time no see!”
When Naruto entered the ramen shop, Teuchi and Ayame greeted him with smiles. Ayame ran to Naruto and hugged him, rubbing his cheek.
“Oh my, Kurama came today too?”
Ayame sees Kurama in Naruto’s arms and strokes his head. Kushina and Jiraiya sat down first. Then Jiraiya suddenly sees a poster on the wall of the store and opens his eyes wide.
“Kushina, can that be…?”
“Hehe, is there any other cute child like that?”
The poster was of a ramen restaurant with Naruto and Kurama cutely eating ramen and fish cakes. Later, when Naruto is not around, Jiraiya gets a poster of Naruto by kneeling down on Teuchi.
“Come on, Colonel Naruto’s favorite special miso ramen!”
“Wow, I’ll eat deliciously!”
“And I’ll give Naruto (fish cake) to our Kurama.”
“…”
Naruto immediately took a bite of the ramen. It was really good. It was really good, but something was strange. Something different and lacking. But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure it out.
[really… Did you really forget Mr. Teuchi’s ramen?”
“!!!”
Naruto looked at the place where he heard the voice in great surprise, and saw Sasuke looking at Naruto with a sad expression on his face. But it soon faded and disappeared.
“Naruto, what’s wrong? Is it not delicious?”
“Ah… no, it’s really good!”
Naruto smiled and answered Teuchi’s question. And inside, he thought deeply, recalling Sasuke’s words from earlier. Kurama just stared at Naruto.
That night, after getting ready for bed, Naruto said goodbye to Minato and Kushina and went to his room. Then, while thinking about the strange things that happened today, I lay down on the bed with Kurama in my arms.
“Kurama, what did I see and hear today…what was it?”
“…”
“It must be an illusion…?”
“…”
“But…I don’t know why…”
“…”
“Sasuke’s fantasy… looked really sad…”
Naruto remembers Sasuke’s eyes and knows Kurama even more. At that time, Kurama escapes from Naruto’s arms and starts pulling on Naruto’s sleeve.
“Kurama, what’s wrong?”
“…”
“Are you asking me to follow you?”
Naruto followed Kurama out of bed and started walking somewhere. After leaving Naruto’s room and passing through the living room to the entrance, Naruto opens his mouth.
“Ku..Kurama, no matter how you do it, mom will scold you if you go out at night like this..!”
“…”
After hearing Naruto’s words, Kurama continued biting and pulling at Naruto’s clothes. Naruto sighed inwardly at the sight of Kurama and cautiously opened the front door and went outside.
“Where are you going…?”
“…”
“Kurama…Now, if I don’t really go back, I’ll get scolded…”
Naruto was attracted to Kurama and eventually came to the academy. Then, Kurama walked over to the tree at the end of the academy grounds and jumped on the swing.
“Kurama, what the hell is this…why…”
Naruto spoke as he approached Kurama, but couldn’t finish and looked at Kurama’s side. The vision of Sasuke I saw today was standing leaning against a tree.
“Sa…sas..ke?”
Hearing Naruto’s voice, Sasuke slowly opened his eyes and looked at Naruto. Then, taking two steps closer to Naruto, he opened his mouth.
[Naruto, is this really enough?]
“…what are you saying”
[Uncle Teuchi is worried about you..]
“Why is Mr. Teuchi me…”
[The sacrifice of Grandpa Jiraiya… It’s okay to pretend it wasn’t there…?]
“Grandpa Jiraiya is still alive…”
[Kurama, I’m thinking of you waking up]
“I don’t understand what you mean… I don’t understand…”
Sasuke approaches the confused Naruto and taps his forehead with his finger. Then, as his body slowly fades away, he opens his mouth.
[Sorry, Naruto… I couldn’t help you properly..]
“…?”
[The choice is yours, forget everything and stay here… Or will you come back with me
“…”
[Know this, if you go back, I will never leave you alone]
“…”
[I like you, Naruto… ]
Sasuke once stroked Naruto’s hair and kissed him on the forehead. And at the same time, Sasuke disappeared. Naruto looked at the place where Sasuke disappeared and understood the situation.
“I see… that’s how it happened…”
Naruto recalled the memory and looked at the moon. The moon looked like it was thinking of Yoon Hoi-an. Naruto murmurs, remembering Sasuke’s words.
“There are no parents who abandoned me here…”
“Grandpa Jiraiya is still alive…”
“Even Mr. Teuchi doesn’t resent me…”
“Iruka-sensei remembers me…”
“I have friends who really care about me…”
“There is no ninja I hate…”
“Everyone in town likes me…”
