The Night the Fox Doesn’t Cry chapter 8

The Night the Fox Doesn’t Cry 8

“Is that kid?”

“Will you come out without hiding?”

Naruto cautiously emerges from behind a tree.

Of course, the face is covered with a hood.

“You…the hood of the same class…?”

“…”

“If it’s okay, would you like to practice shuriken with Sasuke?”

“…I… refuse.”

“Instead, I’ll teach you shuriken techniques later.”

“…”

Naruto is worried.

people can’t be trusted But that person has no hostility.

If you learn the shuriken technique you just saw, you will surely become stronger.

However, I hate being with other people.

“Hyung? You didn’t even tell me!”

“Don’t worry, Sasuke, I’ll let you know too.”

“Can’t you teach me now?”

Itachi smiled bitterly and motioned for Sasuke to come.

Sasuke sees that and runs to Itachi.

Itachi tapped Sasuke’s forehead with two fingers and opened his mouth.

“I’m sorry, let’s do it next Sasuke. Practice with that kid today.”

“Sheesh, you’re always like this.”

Itachi leaves Sasuke behind and walks away.

Getting closer to Naruto, Naruto warns Itachi, but Itachi walks by without paying attention. Instead, I talked to Naruto in small words.

“I’m asking for Sasuke. I want you to be close to me.”

Naruto didn’t answer and looked at Itachi’s back.

Naruto was watching Itachi so he didn’t notice that Sasuke was getting closer.

Sasuke spoke to Naruto without thinking.

“You, are you that hoodie in the same class?”

“…?!”

“I’m Sasuke Uchiha, what’s your name?”

“…Uh…Uzumaki…Naruto…”

“Do you know your brother?”

Naruto shook his head left and right.

Sasuke thought for a moment while watching Naruto.

Grab Naruto’s wrist and move it.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. Let’s go practice shuriken.”

“after?!”

Naruto is startled when Sasuke suddenly moves his wrists.

At the same time, the blue eyes change to red eyes.

Sasuke is looking ahead and doesn’t notice.

“Naruto! Calm down.”

“Ha..but, someone else touched me…I hate it…it’s unpleasant…”

“…Still, bear with it for now, there is no dark part right now, but if you harm it again, you will be suspicious.”

“…Okay”

Naruto’s eyes turned blue again.

Sasuke, unaware of this, takes Naruto to the place where Itachi was standing.

And start practicing by throwing the shuriken.

Naruto watched Sasuke from a distance.

Sasuke, though not as good as Itachi, was good at throwing shurikens.

“Aren’t you going to practice?”

“…”

“Really…I don’t know what you’re thinking…”

Naruto gets up slowly and picks up the shuriken.

and throw it at the target.

Still, the shuriken is not centered and misses a little bit.

After that, I threw several times, but the result was similar.

Sasuke watches Naruto and talks to him.

“I think it would be better if you relaxed and threw it..?”

“…”

“So, if you use your arms and wrists without being too strong or too weak…”

At the same time as he spoke, Sasuke threw the shuriken.

And it hits right in the center of the target.

“And it’s important to learn the senses.”

“…Why did you tell me…?”

“Um…since hyung told me to practice with you?”

“…”

After that, Naruto throws shurikens several times.

And I finally succeeded in aligning it to the center.

“Ha ha… ha… finally…”

Naruto catches his breath, takes off his hood, and wipes away his sweat.

Then Sasuke opened his eyes wide and looked at him.

Her beautiful golden hair fluttered and fluttered in the wind.

And Naruto’s small and cute face, which was always hidden and invisible, is visible.

Sasuke stares blankly involuntarily.

Naruto realized that Sasuke was there and hurriedly put on his hood.

Because I put on the hood in a hurry, the hair does not go in and comes out.

Sasuke finally came to his senses and slowly opened his mouth.

“You…you…was a girl…?”

Naruto is very confused.

The reason Naruto always covered his face with a hood was because he thought people were bullying him when they saw his face.

I showed my face to someone else. In other words, Naruto thinks he will be severely bullied again. I don’t know why I didn’t bully myself until now, but I’m going to bully you more than I’ve seen your face. While thinking about that, Naruto pressed the hood down even more.

“You…were you a woman?”

“…”

Sasuke asks a question, but Naruto doesn’t answer.

Sasuke looked at Naruto, who was wearing a hood, and opened his mouth again.

“Why are you covering it with a hood?”

“…Because I… am a monster…”

Hearing Naruto’s words, Sasuke suddenly remembered what the children at the academy were saying. The children called Naruto a monster.

While Sasuke was thinking about that, Naruto quietly got up and tried to leave.

“…the hair came out”

“…!”

Only then did Naruto panic and tidy up his hair and tuck it into the hood. Sasuke laughs involuntarily.

And talk to Naruto again.

“Why are you a monster?”

“…”

Naruto stops trying to leave and looks at Sasuke.

If it was Naruto in the past, it would surely be something that would make you cry and be happy.

However… Naruto now…

‘Anyways… all the same… can’t believe… no..’

“You guys… made me into a monster…”

“…What does that mean?”

Sasuke asks Naruto again, but Naruto doesn’t answer and leaves the training ground. Watching Naruto like that, Sasuke makes a subtle expression.

“…Really…Unknown guy…”

Sasuke looks around the empty training ground and prepares to go home. At that time, Sasuke immediately remembered Naruto’s face.

‘fairly… You’re pretty… ‘

Sasuke thought so involuntarily. Soon, if you are surprised and startled, you deny it right away.

‘My..why did I think that way..!’

The place Naruto is heading to is the hospital. One of Naruto’s daily life. I open the door of the hospital room and head to the bed where someone is lying.

“…I’m here…Iruka-sensei”

Iruka lost consciousness after the battle on the back mountain that day.

Fortunately, before he died, he was helped by Ambu and treated at the hospital, but Iruka is unable to wake up.

“I…I’m lonely…quick…please wake up…”

Naruto murmured softly as he looked at Iruka lying down.

However, no one could answer Naruto’s words.

“Sorry, Shisui, I’m a little late”

“It’s okay, I’m here now, Itachi”

Itachi and Shisui are standing on a small cliff in a dark forest.

After exchanging glances, Itachi spoke first.

“Bad news. For me, the only thing I could do was delay the coup.”

“This one too. Danzo is trying to protect the village only in his own way.

“…but it can’t be like this forever”

“Yes, in the worst case, I’m going to use my kaleidoscope Sharingan.”

“…!”

“If you use Kotoamatsukami on Danzou, you will be able to prevent a coup.”

“…Is it possible?”

“Don’t worry about me, ask the clan.”

“…Okay, don’t overdo it, Shisui.”

After that, several days passed. Sometimes Naruto and Sasuke ran into each other at the training ground.

Of course, we saw each other at the academy, but there was no situation or reason to talk, so we didn’t do it. If we run into each other at the training ground, we just train without saying anything. Then one day, Itachi came to Naruto and Sasuke who were training.

“It’s been a while, thank you for being close to Sasuke.”

“We’re close, we just trained in the same place.”

“…”

“Well, then, as promised, I’ll teach you shuriken techniques.”

Naruto didn’t like being with other people, but he kept silent because he had no choice but to become stronger. To Naruto and Sasuke, Itachi taught shuriken techniques and, by extension, taijutsu. And when the sun goes down…

“Is this enough? Now you guys will be able to practice on your own.”

“Where’s your brother?”

“…It’s a mission. It’s okay to come in late today. Let’s practice hard together.”

“Really? Good! I’ll master the shuriken technique my brother taught me today!”

“…”

Naruto watched Itachi’s face as he listened to the conversation between Itachi and Sasuke.

That face is the face Naruto always had.

I don’t know why, but Itachi is… .

“…why..sad face..?”

“…!!”

“What are you talking about?”

Itachi seemed surprised by Naruto’s question, but wrote bitterly as if nothing had happened.

And left the camp. As Sasuke watches Itachi’s back as he leaves, he puts on an expression of realization.

“…If it’s sad, Shisui died two days ago…Is that so?”

“…”

Naruto unknowingly said that his face was sad, but he decided not to care.

He started training again thinking that it had nothing to do with him, just because he had a face similar to his own. That day, the practice continued until late at night. Naruto went home first, but Sasuke stayed alone to train.

“Oops, I said it was okay to be late, but I practiced until too late…”

Sasuke hurries home.

I have no idea of the tragedy that will happen in the future…

* I misunderstood the name of the 3rd Hokage. It’s not ‘Sarutobi Haruzen’, it’s ‘Sarutobi Hiruzen’*

Itachi remembers the end of Shisui.

As usual, Itachi was waiting for Shisui at the cliff.

“It’s a little… late…”

It’s been a while since we met, but Shisui didn’t show up.

After a while, I saw a familiar shadow in front of Itachi.

However…

“Sissui?! You… your eyes…?”

“Itachi, you know that too, right? Now… we can’t stop the Uchiha Clan’s coup.”

“…”
