“No one hates me…”
“I have a family…I have peace…I have hope…”
“Everything you really want is here…”
“But… but why… I…”
Naruto looked at the moon and remembered Sasuke’s words. Even if I tried to forget it, it wouldn’t leave my mind again and again. Naruto sat down and muttered involuntarily.
“Am I… happy… ?”
A
week has passed since then. After that day, Kurama disappeared. I don’t know why, but the others didn’t even remember Kurama. No, it didn’t matter anyway. I decided to forget Sasuke and the original world and stay here. No, this was the only option in the first place. This is what I want…
“Naruto!! Who do you resemble so cute!”
“Uh…Mom, I’m suffocating!”
“Ku… Kushina, now it’s my turn to hug Naruto…”
“It’s a mother’s privilege!”
“Ah.. What is Dad’s privilege?!”
okay… I want to…
“hahahaha! My dear, this old woman’s novel is very popular!”
“Grandpa, you’re amazing!!”
“Isn’t that right? A novel dedicated to Naruto, huh?!”
“What kind of dirty book are you trying to give to our Naruto!!”
“Ku…Kushina! Dirty books, this love love paradise…!”
“You still haven’t come to your senses!!”
I want to…
“Naruto, this time I became a cop!”
“Really? After all, Sasuke is amazing!”
“Although it’s still temporary…Anyway, did Naruto still have a cool dream?”
“Yes…”
“Shikamaru tried to play chess this time… well, don’t rush!”
“thank you…”
I want to… ?
“Miss Naruto! You said you graduated this time? Congratulations! Call it a present, but fresh apples have arrived. I’ll give you some!”
“Thank you, I’ll eat well!”
I…
“Ohh, is Naruto here?”
“I’m sorry I’m late, Mr. Teuchi.”
“It’s okay, thank you for working part-time at my house.”
“That’s right, after our Naruto became a part-time job, sales increased by 10%!”
what you want…
“Naruto-san, long time no see!”
“Older brother Haku!!”
“hahaha, I’m sorry I’m late. I was a bit busy opening a shop with Zabuja in Wave Village.”
“It’s okay, can I see you more often now?”
“Of course, maybe next time I can come with Mr. Zabuja.”
really…
“Naruto!”
“Naruto..!”
“Oh my, Naruto!”
“miss!”
“My princess!”
“baby!”
“Naruto!”
Was it like this… ?
As time passed, Naruto’s expression darkened. And it felt even more certain. A sense of incongruity in everyone’s attitudes and behaviors. The more kind and nice they were to Naruto, the more I realized that it was fake.
After Naruto realized that fact, he became afraid to leave his room. If you meet other people, you will realize that this place is fake, so Naruto decided to lock himself up.
smart-
“Naruto… are you sick? I made porridge…”
“I’m sorry, it’s a little… difficult. Please leave me alone…Mom…”
“Don’t overdo it… Call your mother if you need it.”
“Yes…Thank you, Mom.”
Sasuke’s recovery of his memories is very temporary. So, if you endure for a few days, Naruto will forget this hellish memory and he is sure that he will be able to live happily like before.
– I like you, Naruto –
“…!”
Naruto remembered Sasuke kissing him on the forehead before disappearing. Naruto blushed and involuntarily touched his forehead. Then he comes to his senses and shakes his face while muttering.
“Why do you keep thinking about that…!”
Naruto tried to forget, but the more he tried, the clearer the memory. Naruto finally got up from his seat and banged his head against the wall. I seriously hit my head, and blood started dripping from my forehead along with the pain. I was barely able to regain my composure through the pain.
Quaang-
“Naruto, what’s going on? There’s a loud noise…!”
“Three… Oh my God… I… Naruto!”
While Naruto was thinking about that, Minato and Kushina broke through Naruto’s locked door. He was horrified to see his forehead torn open and bleeding.
“Me..Nato..! What to say..! Naruto!! Naruto!”
“Kushina…Calm down, first of all, 119…Wait, how many 119 were there?!”
“Ask 114!!”
Kushina and Minato, who were panicking, regained their senses after seeing Naruto bleeding. And hurriedly disinfected and tied a bandage to give first aid.
“Naruto, come on, wait a minute!”
“Mom and Dad quickly finish preparing and go to the hospital..!”
With Minato and Kushina gone, Naruto’s world became even more futile. It’s not real, it’s fake. Unchanging, unchanging truth. Naruto decided not to see his parents until his memories faded and ran outside through the window.
“All you have to do is forget the memories…if you forget…it’s okay…”
While hypnotizing himself by talking to himself, Naruto walked through the dark night. Then Naruto encountered the person he hated the most to meet.
“Naruto..!”
“Sasuke…”
“What are you doing alone at this time… You got hurt for a while..!”
Sasuke speaks while looking at Naruto’s wounds, but Naruto despairs that it is even more fake. Naruto quickly tried to get away from Sasuke, but Sasuke grabbed Naruto’s hand.
“Wait, Naruto..!”
“Next time… can we talk about it?”
“I’m sorry. I don’t think it’s now or never.”
not now…
“Naruto…I’m sorry for saying this all of a sudden…”
Relapse…
“I… actually…!”
Stop it… !
“you!”
Why is it now…!
“I think you like it!”
Ahh…
“Go out with me!”
I… finally…
Naruto finally realized. No, I knew it, but I tried to deny it and turned away. But in the end, I had to admit it. Naruto slowly removed the bandages he had been wearing, and the wounds from earlier had completely disappeared.
“Naruto..?”
awesome-
Around Naruto, the world began to crack like glass. At the same time, Naruto had returned to his original form, not his youthful form. However, the long golden hair had been bleached and turned silver.
“Sorry, I…”
damn-
“I hate being fake…!”
Clink-
The world crumbled like a broken window. And the moon in the form of Yoon Hoi-an darkened as it was, and the surroundings turned into trees. Sasuke also turned into a wooden doll.
“Naruto, you’ll be happy here”
The wooden doll gradually approached Naruto, emitting the same voice as Sasuke’s. And after that, Minato, Kushina, Jiraiya Hakuna Teuchi, wooden dolls that gave voices to Naruto’s surroundings rushed at Naruto.
“””””Naruto, stay with us forever…!””””
Naruto felt a sense of fear as he was taken aback by the bizarre appearance. Because of this, the moment he was about to be caught by the wooden dolls, someone grabbed Naruto’s hand and started running.
[Naruto, this way!]
“Really… Sa… Sasuke…?”
[Together in this fake world… Let’s get out!]
Sasuke started running to avoid the wooden puppets rushing at him with Naruto. However, as time passed, the number of wooden dolls increased beyond count, and even the floors and buildings all turned into trees and moved to catch Naruto.
[Sorry, Naruto. Please bear with me for a moment!]
“…!”
Sasuke picked up Naruto and started running. Naruto was surprised for a moment, but he calmly hugged Sasuke. Then, suddenly, he looked up at Sasuke’s face as he desperately ran while holding him.
pounding.
Naruto stared blankly at Sasuke’s face. Then I realized that my heart was beating loudly and my face was red. But Naruto just stared at Sasuke with twinkling eyes.
‘I see… I’m Sasuke… ‘
cool. It was how Naruto looked at Sasuke. More than anything else, Naruto, who noticed his own heart, felt the hole in his chest fill up.
[a little bit… more..!]
Sasuke ran desperately avoiding the attacks of the trees. Even in this bizarre and scary situation, Naruto felt relieved and warm when he saw Sasuke.
[Susanoo!!]
Sasuke climbed onto the Hokage statue and jumped as high as he could to activate Susanoo. Then, he attacked the moon and broke the moon. Sasuke jumped into the broken space without hesitation.
“…!”
When he opened his eyes, Naruto noticed that he was in a different space. The most familiar and comfortable place, the world of one’s own image. But unlike usual, the walls were bloody and the floor was full of black, gooey liquid. Then, suddenly, in front of him, he saw Sasuke eating away at the plant little by little, with the chain sticking out of his chest stuck in his heart.
“sars..!”
Naruto tried to run to Sasuke, but realized that he was also being eaten by a giant plant, the ten tails. As Naruto tried to move, the tree branches restrained Naruto even more.
“Sasuke..!”
“…”
“Sasuke…?”
Naruto finally understood the situation. The reason why Sasuke was able to enter in his dream. That Sasuke sacrificed himself to save Naruto. It was also known that Sasuke was also being eaten by the ten tails because of the chakra connection through Naruto’s chakra chain.
“Sasuke…”
Naruto fell into an unknown emotion. I couldn’t understand why he was acting like that for himself. It looked stupid. I thought it was stupid. However… I was so grateful and cool and sorry for that appearance.
“I can’t lose you…I don’t want to lose something precious…”
Naruto desperately started resisting the ten tails. Little by little, little by little, he moved towards Sasuke. At that moment, as Sasuke was further eroded by the ten tails, Naruto moved desperately while shedding tears.
“I don’t like being alone anymore…!”
At the same time as Naruto shouted, countless chakra chains came out from Naruto’s back and restrained his ten tails. After unbinding the ten tails, Naruto immediately approaches Sasuke and frees him from the ten tails.
