Discussion: How the Nine-Tails led Naruto astray

The two of them were very close, and the two of them were very close.

"Okay!" As expected, Naruto agreed without any hesitation.

Hearing the firmness in his words, Kurama was helpless: "So I really don't agree that you and Sasuke are not a pair. The degree to which you two worry about each other is a bit too much to say that you are brothers."

"Ah?" Naruto didn't understand what Kurama meant.

"Haha, you don't need to understand." Kurama fell silent with an ambiguous smile, and the sealed space became silent.

Naruto knew that Kurama was going to learn ninjutsu from the Eight-tailed Ushiki, so he directly exited the sealed space, looked at the lights on in the corridor, and looked outside through the windows of the corridor. The morning sun had already shone on the earth, and the whole sky was extremely blue.

He clenched his fists: "For Sasuke! I will definitely learn the Rasengan!"

After asking the nurse in the hospital to leave a message for Sasuke, Naruto ran to Jiraiya to practice the Rasengan, and he could also learn the sealing technique by the way.

There was still a week left. Naruto had completed the first two stages of the Rasengan practice before. Now all that was left was the third stage, which was to condense chakra from the water ball and balloon. A week was a little short, but Naruto believed in himself.

Around noon, Sasuke woke up. The bed was blocked by a white curtain, and Sakura was standing next to the bed.

Sasuke endured the pain and got up. He looked around and then fell on Sakura: "Sakura, where is Naruto?"

Sakura paused slightly while sorting out the medical equipment. She turned around and looked at Sasuke, smiled and said softly: "Sasuke, you are awake. Naruto asked the nurse to tell you that he went to practice and asked you to wait until the evening. He will come to see you again."

Sasuke was stunned.

He was not stunned because Naruto went to practice, but because of Sakura's attitude.

It was strange that Sakura's tone was very calm. Although she had a smile on her face, she gave Sasuke an inexplicable feeling of quietness. What made Sasuke stunned was this feeling of quietness. It seemed that this was the first time he was alone with Sakura, but Sakura didn't stick to him like before.

Uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.

But Sasuke inexplicably felt that this Sakura was more real than before.

Sasuke was silent for a moment, then he seemed to remember something and slowly said, "Where did he go to practice?"

"I won't tell you." Sakura stepped forward and put a pillow on Sasuke's back, her eyes never on Sasuke, "Naruto said you were hit head-on by the Tailed Beast Ball, and the exploding chakra caused your body to be seriously injured. The curse seal can improve your body's self-healing ability, but you must stay in the hospital for a short time."

Sasuke felt a little awkward, it seemed that this was the first time Sakura refused him: "I'm fine..."

"Whether there is anything wrong is not up to you." Sakura interrupted Sasuke directly, her tone was flat but unquestionable, "Teacher Kakashi will come over later, I will notify the doctor to see you, now you eat first."

Sakura said, taking out the lunch box from the side, and she could feel that the lunch box was still warm.

Sasuke was a little at a loss. He took the lunch box and felt the warm breath on it. Inexplicably, a trace of apology emerged in his heart: "I'm sorry, Sakura..."

Sakura's action of packing things paused again, as if the pause button was pressed: "You... are not sorry for me, I am sorry for you, I am too weak, sorry."

"I didn't mean that." Sasuke didn't know why he was anxious to explain, but listening to the inferiority in Sakura's words, he inexplicably wanted to explain, "Because this matter is too dangerous, I only told the Hokage and Naruto, even Kakashi didn't know, I didn't mean it..."

"I know." Sakura continued to pack up, "I know everything..."

Her face was facing the other side, so Sasuke couldn't see her expression, but the slight tremor in her voice made Sasuke speechless for a while.

Sakura turned her back to Sasuke, her voice no longer calm: "I know I'm weak, I know I'm far away from you now, now think about it, I used to look down on Naruto, thinking that Naruto was just a vassal of our team, I was really a fool."

"Think about it carefully, obviously... I am the vassal."

A drop of water fell to the ground, leaving a mark on the smooth stone slab.

"Why am I so weak? I didn't know at first, I thought it was because I hadn't made up my mind, I thought it was because I was too cowardly, but the night before last I

I understand. When I could only look at the backs of Naruto and the others, I understood. "

"Sasuke, the reason why I am weak is that I have never looked you in the face..."

Sakura's shoulders trembled slightly: "I thought my grades were good, I thought Naruto was the last one, I thought you would always be you, but not... Sasuke, I have good grades but I never thought about why, I just want to look at you."

"I thought Naruto was the last one, but I suddenly found out the night before yesterday that Naruto could deal with such a powerful enemy, and I didn't even have the qualifications to keep up. I like you but I am getting farther and farther away from you."

"I thought you would always be you, but I never thought about why you would be you. It turns out that you can also be another person, saying the words that you couldn't say before, and using lies to reassure me."

Tears fell and gathered on the ground. There were only three drops, but they were as turbulent as waves.

"Sasuke, I know I am stupid, deceiving myself like a fool. I like you, but... I began to hate myself. ”

“An arrogant person who wants you to look at me, but puts the hope of saving you on others... Why am I like this? When I found out, I suddenly seemed to understand why you never cared about me. ”

“I hate myself for being like this.”

Sasuke looked at Sakura’s back and opened his mouth to say something, but found that he didn’t know how to comfort her. He could only look at Sakura’s back in silence. It seemed that the only thing he could say in the end was: “Now you are very similar to me…”

The me who hated my weakness and hated my incompetence.

At that time, the words I asked myself the most were ‘What should I do?’ What should I do? Sakura, what should you do?

Sakura reached out to wipe the tears from her face and turned to look at Sasuke. Her face was still as bright and smiling as before, but her eyes were not as cheerful as before: “Sasuke, I will become stronger and catch up with you. ”

“Like the fool Naruto before, chasing after him on his own, like the fool Sasuke before, chasing after him regardless of everything.”

Sakura took a deep breath: “In the past, Teacher Kakashi asked about the dreams of the three of us. Naruto wanted to become Hokage, you wanted to kill that person, and at that time I wanted to get your attention, but now, my dream has changed.”

“I will catch up with you, stand beside you, and say in surprise when you see me…”

Ah, Sakura, you have become so strong.
