They haven't seen each other for a long time.
I didn't expect that when we met again, Sakura was still as talkative as usual.
Naruto smiled faintly, "I will be taller than you more in the future."
"Tsk, I'm a girl, what are you competing with me for?"
"Didn't you compete with me first?"
"I'm competing with you, can't you give me some ground? I'm a cute girl!"
"Sorry, no, I only like married women now."
Seeing Naruto seriously saying that he liked young women, Sakura laughed and waved her hand to pat Naruto's arm: "Why are you so funny now?"
???
What is funny?
I'm serious, okay!
But Sakura was just a little girl after all, so Naruto naturally wouldn't argue with her about the pros and cons of other people's wives. He just tilted his head, closed his eyes, and kept silent.
This made Sakura a little annoyed. The idiot Naruto was still the same as before. Every time she was having a good chat with him, he would shut up.
The flowers in early spring have not yet sprouted, and only the green grass has sprouted quietly. Pedestrians cannot notice it, and they will trample to death if they are not careful.
It was almost time to set off, and more and more people were coming and going, which meant that Naruto was about to leave.
At this moment, Sakura didn't want to be angry with Naruto, so she rolled her eyes at him and poked Naruto's chest with her slender green jade fingers.
"what?!"
"Hey, why are you speaking so fiercely?"
Sakura couldn't hold it in and retorted, then took out a letter from her bag and handed it to Naruto: "I saw this when I went to your house to clean this morning. I haven't opened it yet, so I brought it to you."
"You still come to my house to clean?"
"Is it ever not me who cleans your house?"
"How did you get in?"
"I'm a ninja, don't underestimate me!"
"I mean, you could be considered a thief if you were like this."
"Ahhh, you bastard Naruto, if you talk to me like this again, I will never clean again, believe it or not."
Seeing Sakura's angry look, Naruto didn't care much and took the letter from her.
The letter cover was signed by Mao Yue Xi Gao.
It is written that.
will!
Naruto took a deep breath, quickly tore open the letter, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the contents.
"Naruto, this is the first letter my sister has ever written to you. It may also be the last one."
"This is a will that all ninjas on the front lines need to make. I've been thinking about it for a long time but I still don't know what to write."
“But just write something.”
"Because it's a will, by the time you see this letter, I may have already died. By then, please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye."
"Your name is written as the heir to my property. You can live directly in my apartment."
"And there's a box I left under the bed. It contains all my savings from being a ninja over the years. You can spend it as you please."
"If I die"
"I hope you will live your life well."
"If possible, I'm still looking forward to seeing you grow up and get married in the future. After all, I've watched you grow up, and I'm still a little reluctant to let you go."
"Forget it, I won't say any more sad words. I wish you a happy life in the future and find a beautiful and virtuous wife to spend the rest of your life with you."
"If possible, can you send flowers to my sister's grave once a year? This is my sister's last wish, I think you won't refuse!"
"Maoyue Xiyanliu!"
"."
The sky above our heads is glowing with gray light, shining sadly on the earth. The snow falling from the sky buries the green grass of early spring.
Naruto held the suicide note in his hand stupidly, feeling mixed emotions. For the first time in his life, he felt sad for someone else.
In the past, he would only be unhappy because he couldn't achieve his goals.
Now, I actually feel emotional because of a letter from Uoyue Xiyan.
It was Naruto's first birthday, and she brought a cake.
'It's fine.'
"Even if she died in battle, we can still find a way to revive her."
After silently saying this in his heart to calm himself, Naruto gave Sakura a cheerful smile: "Thank you, Sakura."
"Thank you for bringing me the letter."
The boy didn't know that his smile at this moment was as gentle as water. Sakura, who was facing her, suddenly blushed on her cheeks. Looking at Naruto's smile, her heart inexplicably felt beating fast.
When was the last time Naruto smiled at her like that?
Probably before graduating from Ninja School.
But at that time, Sakura hated it and thought Naruto's smile was stupid.
Looking back now, I was so stupid back then and didn’t know how to cherish it at all.
So, will he, who loved me so much before, come back?
The girl's heart was moved, her imagination ran wild, and she pursed her lips and wanted to talk to Naruto about the past.
However, the next moment, Naruto raised his hand and touched her forehead: "You don't have a fever either. Are you stupid? Why are you so dazed?"
Sakura: “.”
"Idiot Naruto!"
"You will die if you don't speak!"
Sakura was really mad at the idiot Naruto. Her emotions just started to rise but were wiped out by his words.
Today, she no longer wanted to deal with Naruto.
She glared at Naruto and turned away. Naruto waved goodbye to her and she pretended not to notice.
But when she was about to enter the village, she suddenly turned around and ran back, shouting, "Stupid Naruto, you must not get into any trouble, do you hear me?"
"What did you say?"
"Don't let anything happen to you. I'll be waiting for you to come home. Do you hear me?"
"You're waiting for me? Then I'll get into trouble!"
"Don't talk about it, you're going to piss me off to death."
Sakura stomped her feet and ignored the angry Naruto again. This time she really turned around and left the gathering point, returned to the village entrance, stood inside the village and watched Naruto leave with other ninjas.
"Wide forehead, where is Naruto?" Ino asked, appearing out of nowhere.
Ino's long golden hair was particularly messy, and one could tell at a glance that she was running very fast.
She had wanted to come here for a long time, but her mother had a fever today, and she had to run the store and take care of her mother, so she had been putting it off until now.
It’s a pity that it’s still a step too late.
Xiaoying smiled lightly: "He left, I sent him away alone."
"???" Ino frowned, feeling the provocation from Sakura.
"Broad forehead, what do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to tell someone, Naruto, I will never give in."
"Oh, you sound like you have any right to say give in."
"."
"."
When Konoha's thousand-man army led by Naruto set out for the front line, the ten-man elite team led by the two Two-Tails Jinchuriki and Bokuto from the Hidden Cloud Village had already arrived in the Land of Fire by boat.
They were guarding the route that the Konoha troops had to take to reach the front line, waiting for the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
"This time, Konoha will definitely bleed heavily."
Chapter 138 The show begins
The Land of Lightning is located in the colder north. When the ice and snow in the Land of Fire are melting, the people here are still wearing bulky cotton coats.
Do as the locals do.
Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame, who grew up in the Land of Fire and the Land of Water, also added a long coat over their auspicious cloud robes.
The two men were wearing straw raincoats with bells hanging on them as they walked in the main city of the Land of Thunder.
"Mr. Itachi, why did you suddenly think of coming to the Land of Lightning?"
"Let's go and have a look, maybe Orochimaru is here."
"Haha, I thought you would go to the Moon Kingdom to stop the war between the two countries."
"You're too worried."
"There's news from Zetsu that a lot of people died in Konoha a few days ago, and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki from Kumogakure has appeared."
"Oh, I see."
Uchiha Itachi was not moved at all, and continued walking forward with a calm expression. He turned a corner and entered an alley where there was someone waiting for them.
"He's here to see you. So Mr. Itachi, you guys go ahead and chat. I'll wait outside." Hoshigaki Kisame stopped and leaned against the wall.
