"Sasuke … Where did Sasuke go?"
When the fainted Naruto slowly woke up under the dual effect of Sakura's Medical Ninjutsu and Nangong Zhe's Internal Force, the first sentence he spoke was to ask about Sasuke's whereabouts. If it wasn't for the deep friendship between Naruto and Sasuke, perhaps anyone would think that Naruto was a little too obsessed with Sasuke's existence.
"He's gone …" Looking at Naruto, Kakashi said slowly: "He left with Orochimaru again."
We didn't make him stay after all? Whether it was Kakashi or Sakura, they began to ask themselves. Sasuke, as their subordinate and teammate, didn't have the slightest bit of nostalgia for their existence. This really made Kakashi, who valued the bond between companions, and Sakura, who cared about Sasuke since childhood, feel very frustrated.
"I … I'm going to find him!"
Naruto heard Kakashi's words and tried to stand up with his hands on the ground. But the weakness of his body was far beyond his imagination. Naruto's body just propped up halfway and fell to the ground. Naruto's face was buried in the scorched soil on the ground. A face with scars was now covered with dust.
But the most memorable thing was Naruto's eyes. The originally clear blue eyes were now full of crystal light. The tears in Naruto's eyes wrapped the dust on his face, leaving traces on his face. Naruto, who usually looked carefree, showed such a sad look at this moment.
"Naruto …" Looking at Naruto's lost look, Nangong Zhe, who watched him grow up, also felt very moved. If it wasn't for the fact that he revealed Sasuke's true feelings, Naruto would be more eager to find Sasuke, perhaps Nangong Zhe has already told the truth to Naruto. But now, it's not the time for Naruto to be depressed.
"You should have understood Sasuke's words just now, right? The reason why he left Wood leaf is that he thinks that staying in Wood leaf can't achieve his goals. Although this sentence is biased, it's not unreasonable to a certain extent. If you really want Sasuke to return to Wood leaf willingly, it's meaningless to just blindly pester him. "
Naruto heard Nangong Zhe's words, and the depression in his eyes began to loosen a little.
"Uncle Nangong, what do you mean?"
Seeing that Naruto took his words to heart, Nangong Zhe also nodded, as if to affirm Naruto's inner thoughts, and said to Naruto:
"Yes! If you want to make a person understand that his decision is wrong, you shouldn't blindly plead and force him. You should use facts to tell him that his decision is decisively wrong. Wood leaf can't give birth to a real strong person? Then let yourself be an existence that can break his inference. A person who lived in a village like Wood leaf, who grew up in the same era as Sasuke, even if he didn't leave Wood leaf, even if he didn't abandon Wood leaf's guardian spirit and the Will of Fire, he can become a rare strong person. Isn't this way much better than your crying and despondent appearance right now? "
Nangong Zhe has always been a teacher, father, and brother in Naruto's heart. In his childhood without a father, Nangong Zhe also occupied the role of a father in Naruto's heart to a certain extent. Although as he grew older, Naruto has slowly hidden his dependence on Nangong Zhe, such a feeling can't be hidden without traces. On the contrary, in the face of a difficult situation, those hidden feelings of wanting to find someone to rely on will become more and more intense.
Now Nangong Zhe is equivalent to providing Naruto, who lost the direction of his efforts, a seemingly bright and effective way. Why do people care so much about such a vague thing like 'hope'? Because once there is something to rely on, then people will become extremely strong, and Naruto is the same. Now, although Naruto is still distressed by Sasuke's behavior, Naruto has begun to slowly walk out of the haze he set for himself.
Kakashi looked at Nangong Zhe, who was persuading Naruto, and didn't know why he thought of his father. Did his father also use such an unusually serious tone to express his inner care like Nangong Zhe did to Naruto? The boy who was valued by his father has now grown to a point that even his father didn't expect.
"Uncle Nangong, don't worry, I will definitely let Sasuke know that the decision he made is not completely correct. But I also know that my strength is not enough. I will consult my father and Lascivious Sage after returning to the Wood leaf! "
Naruto, who has never been able to accept Watergate, directly called him father at this moment. Nangong Zhe didn't know why, but it must be a good thing. After all, Nangong Zhe was very happy to be able to witness the family go from being separated to the ends of the earth.
Sasai, who has been standing on the side like a bystander, also looked at the way Naruto and Nangong Zhe get along. He couldn't help but think of his brother who gave up his life so that he could live. Maybe this is family? Sasai didn't quite understand. After all, under Danzō's deliberate teaching, Sasai's emotions have become extremely weak.
However, at this moment, Sai Jingjue really wanted to know. If his elder brother could really survive until now, would he be able to give him an answer when he was at a loss? Would he be able to rely on him when he was helpless? Although all of this couldn't be verified, Sasai couldn't help but give a positive answer for his brother in his heart.
Although there were some gains in this operation, it could be judged as a failure. After all, most of the information collected was about Sasuke, and Sasuke himself had passed away. Even if there was this information, it couldn't immediately provide effective help to the Wood leaf. But no one was immersed in the sadness of the mission not being so successful.
Nangong Zhe's words also entered Sakura's ears, so Sakura looked full of fighting spirit at this moment. Kakashi was immersed in his memories, Sasai was slightly envious, and Yamato's dull face didn't look like they had experienced failure at all. Instead, they seemed to have gained more.
