Chapter 172
The old man was so angry that he was forced to leave.
Begging, this is something Sasuke has never said.
Since the night of the genocide, Sasuke has decided to rely on himself to become stronger and kill Itachi. He will not beg anyone because he does not trust anyone.
It used to be like this...
And now, Sasuke trusts Naruto, Kakashi, Sakura, Kurama, Jiraiya, Tsunade, etc. Because of the existence of these people, he chose to believe in the village, the village that made him feel a sense of belonging.
And now, he saw that the village he trusted betrayed him.
Betrayed a person who loved the village, his brother, Uchiha Itachi.
The person he wanted to kill as an enemy, the person who gave him the courage to live and become stronger, the murderer who killed his father and mother and destroyed his childhood in the most cruel way.
And now, this murderer has turned into a hero of Konoha, and those people he respected, his father, mother, uncle, and uncle... have become the culprit who wants to destroy that sense of belonging.
Sasuke stood there with a blank face. Even if he was hugged by Kushina, he could not feel a trace of warmth. He looked at Naruto, just staring at Naruto blankly, hoping that the person in front of him could tell him the answer.
Why...
Naruto opened his mouth and looked at the gradually disappearing picture. The whole person fell into an inexplicable state of confusion. He admired Itachi's greatness, but he knew that Itachi's approach was not correct.
Facing Sasuke's question, he fell silent.
It's not that he can't answer, but at that moment, he didn't know whether he was qualified to answer.
"Naruto! Speak!" Sasuke looked a little hysterical. His heart had completely collapsed at this moment. It can be said that the only reason left was for Naruto.
Naruto took a deep breath and his eyes became firm: "Go ask Uchiha Itachi."
Sasuke was stunned.
Naruto continued to say: "You know my personality. If it were me, I would definitely say 'We must have a better way. We can find a way to coexist peacefully together', but I can't say it..."
Everyone's eyes were on Naruto, and the corners of Kurama's mouth raised a curve.
Naruto lowered his head, his eyes full of complexity: "I can't say that to Sasuke, even if I know that you will choose to believe me if I comfort you, I can't convince myself to lie to you, because just like you believe in me, I don't want to betray this trust."
"So, ask Uchiha Itachi, this may be the only way for you to know the truth." Naruto raised his head and looked at Sasuke, "You trust me, and I don't want to betray this trust, so I will help you find the answer. At that time, whether you choose to continue to walk with me or choose your parents' side, I will support you."
Naruto is no longer the humble Naruto in the original book. Sasuke's defection is completely understandable in his eyes now, and he even wants to catch Danzo and the masked man and kill them now.
Naruto has never experienced this feeling, he can't understand it, but he believes in Sasuke, just as Sasuke believes in him.
"At that time, even if we are enemies, I will never forget... You, Uchiha Sasuke, are my best friend, Uzumaki Naruto." Naruto's tone was firm and serious, and no one would doubt the authenticity of his words.
Sasuke's crazy appearance recovered a little, and his eyes were filled with blood red, but his state seemed to be stable.
Facing Naruto's eyes, Sasuke clenched his fists: "I am confused now, Naruto, but I believe you, so..."
He stared at Naruto with his eyes: "Help me, help me find the answer, help me figure out the truth of this matter."
"I promise you." Naruto nodded without hesitation.
The two people's eyes collided with each other, as if a ball of sparks burst in the air.
Sasuke took a deep breath, and his Sharingan slowly closed: "I will not vent my anger on Konoha, at least before I find out the truth of the matter, I believe Konoha believes in you more. After finding the answer to the matter, I will tell you my choice."
"By then, whether I choose to be an enemy of Konoha or choose to stand with you, I will not forget that Uzumaki Naruto is Uchiha Sasuke's best friend."
Naruto smiled, he stretched out his right hand and raised it in a fist, looking at Sasuke with burning eyes.
Sasuke did not hesitate, and stretched out his fist to collide with Naruto's fist, and the chakra built a bridge to connect the two people's hearts.
At that moment, the two of them were serious and determined without reservation in each other's eyes.
They would not regret, let alone betray.
Minato looked at Naruto and Sasuke with relief. He smiled happily, and did not change his mindset at all because Sasuke might be an enemy of Konoha, because he believed in Naruto.
Kushina was full of tenderness. She stretched out her hands and embraced the two of them, holding Naruto and Sasuke on the left and right: "No matter what the future will be, Naruto, Sasuke, you two are children that make Mikoto and I proud."
This feeling will never change.
Sasuke's heart gradually calmed down. He leaned on Kushina's arms and closed his eyes. His voice was light but firm: "No matter what the reason, the fact that Itachi killed his father and mother will never change. I will definitely make him pay the price."
"I support you." Naruto rubbed against Kushina's arms, and then proudly raised his thumb.
Yu Yi stroked his beard and watched this scene, with a smile on his old face: "Sincere and firm, no matter how this relationship changes in the future, I believe that their ending will not be like Ashura and Indra."
Kurama glanced at him: "People who have seen the finale speak with confidence."
Yu Yi laughed dumbly and shook his head gently: "Even if there is no ending called "Naruto", I still believe in these two little guys."
The two of them are not framed by the so-called plot.
"I believe it too." Jiu Lama nodded in agreement, but a sneer appeared on his face the next second, "And I believe that if either of these two people changed genders, Naruto would not be able to shoot 700 episodes."
Hagoromo: "..."
"Alas." Hagoromo sighed, "Jiulama, you should talk less in the future."
"I won't." Jiu Lama raised his head willfully, "I have been sealed for so many years and no one has ever talked to me. Now that I can finally talk to someone, you ask me to talk less. Are you mocking me?"
Hagoromo looked at him in silence and did not answer.
But his eyes have already explained the answer to the question.
Jiu Lama's face twisted instantly: "Old man Liudao, you have changed. You used to spoil me a lot. When you divided chakra, you would deliberately give me an extra portion. Now you actually despise me. Am I not your cute little fox cub?"
Hagoromo's face gradually became strange.
