Sasuke sees that and smiles.
The ramen that Naruto and Sasuke ate that day was really warm.
“Sasuke…”
“yes?”
“The warmth… it fills my heart…”
“…are you sick?”
“It’s slowly disappearing…”
“…I’m glad”
After a few years, Naruto began to have other friends.
Beginning with Hinata and Shikamaru, more and more people began to recognize Naruto. The gaze of the village also began to run.
Naruto and Sasuke started helping the villagers from small to big things. At first, he hated and disgusted Naruto, but with Naruto’s pretty and cute smile and always helping people without giving up, little by little changes began to occur, and soon he began to acknowledge Naruto.
Furthermore, people started to like Naruto.
Even just walking down the street, the outpouring of profanity turns into a warm greeting…
Violence that is habitual even when it is still is turned into hopeful encouragement…
Even if you don’t do anything, the hateful eyes turn into a gentle smile…
started to change
the village…

More than anything… Naruto…
A child who used to cry alone laughs with others.
A child who has always suffered from violence bravely helps people.
The child who hated the village started to love the village.
Naruto leans on Sasuke’s shoulder and smiles.
“Sasuke…if…then…if I had left town…what would you have done?”
Sasuke thinks about that question for a moment, then smiles softly kissing Naruto’s eyes.
“Things like that…I didn’t want to even think about it…but…if…if it really happened…I would’ve followed him until I died…”
“…why did you like me?”
Niruto digs into Sasuke’s arms and sits on his knees.
And hold Sasuke like a kitten.
“Because they were like me…Eyes that know loneliness…Eyes that have lost something precious…
Eyes wanting revenge… “
“…Sympathy?”
“…I won’t deny anything. But, the more I looked, the more I felt emotions other than sympathy.
“A different feeling?”
“That child has more scars than me… He is a child who needs affection… I want to protect him…”
Niruto puffed out his cheeks as if he didn’t like that answer.
Sasuke lightly poked Naruto’s cheeks with his fingers.
And smile and kiss your foreheads.
“Then I realized…that you were kind…that you were enduring it even though it was so painful…I respected you after noticing that…and I started to like you more and more…”
Sasuke kissed Naruto on the forehead and opened his mouth.
“…I became the Hokage this time.”
“…!”
Naruto opened his eyes wide in surprise.
But right away, he smiles and hugs Sasuke.
“…Congratulations, your dream has finally come true…”
“Naruto…”
“…why?”
“let’s get married…!”
Naruto is even more shocked and breaks out of Sasuke’s arms.
And with a red face, he opens his mouth as if embarrassed.
“What… what… what?!”
“Will you… marry me? Naruto…!”
Sasuke knelt before Naruto under the moonlight and gave Naruto a ring. Naruto shed tears and nodded.
“I’m not good enough… but I’m not good at it…”
A ring is put on Naruto’s finger.
Naruto looked at his hand with a hard-to-believe expression, then opened his mouth.
“…I’ve had a dream since before…”
“What?”
“I… will make… a night where I won’t cry…”
“…”
“But not anymore…”
“Can you hear me?”
Naruto’s hair reflects the moonlight and shines beautifully.
Niruto smiles and opens his mouth.
“Sasuke, I want to…walk with you…!”
Naruto approaches Sasuke who is sitting.
They try to kiss, but are blocked by Sasuke’s fingers.
“Sa…Sasuke…?”
“Shhh…”
Sasuke stood up and put one hand around Naruto’s waist. Then he stroked Naruto’s cheek.
“…This is… what men do in the first place.”
“…”
Naruto and Sasuke kiss under the moonlight.
Unlike last time, Naruto didn’t shed a tear.
just smile brightly
Just when the atmosphere gets better, a hindrance appears.
That’s Jiraiya. Jiraiya happened to pass by and witnessed the scene where Naruto and Sasuke kissed.
Usually, Jiraiya treated Naruto as if he were his own granddaughter.
He witnessed Naruto getting eaten by a wolf (Sasuke).
“Yes…yes…You bastard!!!!
“Oops, I got caught…”
“…Ha… Grandpa?”
“Go…dare…my baby…now…well done!!!!”
Sasuke smiles and hugs Naruto.
and open your mouth
“Shall we run away?”
“…I guess so”
Naruto smiled and kissed Sasuke on the cheek.
Seeing that, Jiraiya loses his temper…
That night, the villagers say they witnessed a large toad and a large skeleton dancing around in the moonlight.
“… Yes, Naruto is still in the house”
“Yes, the finals are not far away…”
“Baby… has this old man made a mistake?”
The 3rd generation and Jiraiya receive the report from the dark department and their expressions darken as they worry about Naruto. But he opens his mouth as if he can’t help it.
“First of all, since Naruto’s match is the last… let’s wait until then.
“Kuh…”
Jiraiya’s expression darkened even more at Hiruzen’s words.
At that time, another dark part appears and reports.
“Hokage-sama, the identity of the corpse found last time has been confirmed.”
“Okay, listen”
“Tosu Kinura, you are a low-ranking ninja from Sori Village who advanced to the finals this time. And… the bodies of Sannin and Hayate have also been confirmed.”
Hiruzen heard the report and um… I thought about it.
“Sori Village Ninja..?”
“…it is certain that there are sounds and movements of the sand, good or bad”
“There is a possibility of war…”
Hiruzen moaned lowly. Hearing that, Jiraiya quietly opened his mouth. Hiruzen, who was expecting a war, nodded heavily without denying it.
“So there is something I want to ask you.”
“Yes? Master! I have to watch my baby’s match..!”
“The future of the leaves is at stake!”
“That…but…!”
“Jiraiya!!”
“Ugh…”
When Hiruzen screamed, Jiraiya sighed and nodded helplessly.
“Haa…You mean to learn more about the relationship between sound and the sand village? Really…I heard Master really takes care of people…”
“Don’t you know…”
“Let’s finish quickly and watch the baby’s game”
“Yes, please.”
Jiraiya scratches his head and leaves.
Hiruzen confirms it and starts moving to watch the final match.
“Now it’s time to meet Kazekage-dono..”
“Yes, I will guide you”
“Please”
Before the finals begin, all players gather in the center of the arena.
However, Sori Village Ninja and Naruto did not appear.
Sasuke and Shikamaru look around and think.
‘Naruto… why can’t I see it?’
‘Dos, the guy who will fight me… Don’t you have one too?’
“Hey, don’t look the other way”
Then, this referee, Genma puts the wooden stick in his mouth and opens his mouth.
“Since you guys are the protagonists of this final round, look straight up at the audience.”
After some time, the Kazekage appears and greets Hiruzen. And Hiruzen came forward and opened his mouth.
“From now on, the 8 players who passed the preliminaries will be holding the finals, so please watch until the end.”
“If there are 8 people, isn’t 1 short? Hokage-dono”
“Don’t worry, just come before the match, Kazekage-dono.”
Shikamaru thought while scratching the back of his head.
‘Eight people? Did DOS at least give up?’
“I have something to tell you before the match. Look at this.”
Genma shows the match tickets to everyone.

“There are some changes. Check carefully.”
“…Naruto hasn’t come yet, what happened?”
“If you don’t come before the match, you will be defeated by corruption.”
Sasuke’s expression darkened slightly and he thought of Jiraiya.
While learning summoning, Jiraiya’s complexion was not good.
When I inquired about it, it was said that Naruto was getting discouraged when he didn’t come out of the house.
‘What’s going on?’
“Okay then, except for Sasuke Uchiha and Neji Hyuuga, who will have their first match, let the others move to the waiting room.”
Neji and Sasuke stare at each other and begin to prepare.
