I, Naruko, don't want to be Hokage

"correct!"

"Ok?"

The corner of Naruko's mouth was filled with a little pride, she was immersed in the joy of bullying Kakashi now, seeing Kakashi's sudden seriousness, she also tilted her little head in doubt.

"It's that boy..."

"Young man?...Young man!!!"

Naruko's body kept tilting, as if he wanted to pour all his thoughts to his head, so that he could quickly recall, but when he really remembered, the whole person immediately jumped in front of Kakashi.

"Yes... yes! That boy named 'Bai'..."

"Where is he now?"

"he..."

"No no.. help..!??"

"No, he's still alive, just now..."

"Where? I'm going to see him!"

Naruko quickly stood up from the bed, ignoring the sudden soreness that came from not moving for a long time, and ran out of bed!

When he was about to change his clothes, he recalled something, and stared straight at Kakashi who was beside him.

After Kakashi tactfully slipped outside the door, he began to speed up his movements again.

...

"Where is Bai?"

"Probably still on a cliff to the west?"

"cliff!!??"

Naruko was a little confused, why did she run off to the cliff for nothing! ?

But Kakashi couldn't see Naruko's brain fruit, and immediately added:

"Yes...because we buried Zabucho..."

Kakashi's voice fell, and Naruko seemed to be poured with cold water in an instant, and the original anxiety seemed to calm down, and she turned around slowly...

There was silence between the two, both Kakashi and Naruko had similar experiences...

It is also because of this that he (she) can deeply understand Bai's feelings...

With her long golden hair swaying slightly with gentle steps, Naruko quietly walked down the stairs..

Kakashi just let out a helpless sigh when he saw Naruko's lonely back, but suddenly an inexplicable square object hit his forehead with precision, and he couldn't rub his hands in time!

"Also, don't read this kind of book in front of students next time, okay?"

"..."

Momentarily speechless..

"...Yes..."

Chapter 49 Commitment

Obviously it wasn't that far away, but the faint sense of fatigue had already made Naruko pant a little. Although most of the scratches and abrasions on the surface were healed, only deep wounds remained.

But the actual recovery of the body does not seem to be as easy and pleasant as I imagined.

Thinking about the bandages wrapped around my body, I should also know that my body's recovery of physical strength is not so optimistic.

The wind and waves in the land of waves located in Haikou are obviously normal, not to mention that the wind is also mixed with the slight cold in the morning.

Although I regret it very much, there is no need to pursue the matter of Kyuubi too much. After all, the emotion of fear is really not something that can be overcome in a day or two.

People can make reactions and choices beyond their expectations in urgent situations, and even overcome obstacles that they could not overcome in a short time, but this does not mean that they can calmly screen in a calm state of mind.

Fortunately, as long as Naruko is still alive, Kyuubi will not be able to leave Naruko's body unless under the action of external force. Of course, it is not impossible to see Kyuubi once.

It's just that Naruko can't freely enter and exit her own deep consciousness without the key of the "Bagua Seal". I don't know when the next meeting will be, but this "next time" may not be very far away.. .

It was more exhausting than expected. After walking through the market and streets of the Nami Country, and through the woods on the west side, a small mountain peak appeared in front of Naruko.

Huan'a Hongshan Road is not steep, on the contrary, it is unexpectedly gentle, and it does not cause much burden to Naruko now.

After walking two-thirds of the mountain road, you can clearly see the entire small country of Na in a flat manner.

The golden hair shone in the sunlight, and only a wooden tablet could be seen on the unexpectedly flat peak..

And a boy with long black hair, a figure wearing only a thin white coat, knelt in front of this small mound of dirt...

Don't even think about it, it should be the final destination of not beheading..

Taking a look at the young man not far away, Naruko's eyes also flashed a trace of loneliness.

Zabuza was buried by Kakashi, Kai and others..

So Bai was still in a coma when Zabu Zhan was buried, he was not at the scene at all, and in the end he didn't send Za Bu Zhan away with his own eyes.

This is when Naruko inquired about the exact location of the cliff, Tsunami told her.

In the final melee, a mass of corpses collapsed on the half-built bridge.

Not to mention how much the villagers hate these mafia and Kado, just because of the destruction of the bridge, the leading bridge builder will not let go of any saboteurs who disturb again.

As for the rest of the corpses including Kaduo, apart from being cremated in public, they were all carried away by the resisting villagers, sunk into the sea or disposed of in other ways..

Let Zabuza be buried, even if it is simply to express respect for Zabuza's last act, this is the last thing Kakashi and others can do.

There is no right or wrong in the ninja world itself, everyone lives with their own value, whether it is for the country, the village, or themselves...

If it is said that all actions done for the sake of one's own ambition are defined as wrong, wouldn't the simplicity of wanting to live be also denied?

In the end, if you don't cut it, it's just a different position from your own side...

"How long...have you been here?"

The girl's concerned voice pierced through this small cliff, and Naruko tried her best to keep her voice from being too sad, but under the silence that was only the sound of the wind, it seemed inexplicably heavy. ..

He couldn't see Bai's face, but his jet-black long hair was drooping feebly, covering his drooping head..

No matter how strong the external wind is, Bai still let his long hair be disheveled by the wind...

Naruko's temptation didn't get any response, not even a slight tremor, Shiro seemed to be isolated from the world, kneeling blankly in front of the mound..

In desperation, Naruko approached slowly, trying to make her footsteps as light as possible, not like frightening the haggard boy now, and when she approached, under the effect of the breeze, Naruko finally saw the boy Beneath his bloodless face, those absent-minded eyes...

It's impossible to say that I don't feel distressed, but Naruko, who knows what happened, can only frowned at the end, thinking about the remedy.

Maybe Bai is more painful than before..

If it is said that when she lost Miss Wakaba, Sasuke and Sarutobi were behind her, then for Shiro now, if she leaves without killing her, she really has nothing...

Naruko may not be able to fully understand the pain of losing the only pillar to rely on, but the same experience has told Naruko that this is not a good feeling, and there will be an urge to want to die...

So is she going to regret saving Bai?

Isn't this even more ridiculous?

Looking back at the wooden sign with no name engraved on it in front of the mound behind her, Naruko frowned, and chose to make a sound again under the shake:

"Don't kill him again..."

Hearing the name of Zabuzhan, Bai seemed to be called back to the consciousness of nothingness, and immediately looked at the figure of the girl in front of him. The moment Naruko turned his head, he met a pair of clear sky blue eyes. He got down and squatted in front of Bai.

"If I don't kill him again, I chose to save you in the end..."

Naruko paused and let out a long breath:

"At the cost of my own life..."

The end of the voice seemed to be the end, and countless crystals began to slide down from the pale cheeks, scattered on the grayish-yellow ground as if completely unconscious..

Instead of choosing to deceive and use the so-called "white lie", Naruko hopes that Shiro can accept this fact...

Even if she knows how powerful this is for Bai who has always regarded himself as a 'tool'...

"Do you know what Zabu Zhan said to you at the end?"

Naruko wiped away the tears that kept rolling down Bai's face with her own hands, but Bai's head drooped down again.

"He said you are useless, so you are no longer needed..."

Bai seemed taken aback for a moment, but remained silent.

Naruko directly picked up Bai's beautiful and haggard face, looked at the eyes that had lost their soul color, and asked, the golden hair skipped the interlaced line of sight of the two, and looked dazzling...

"You know, he even asked you to do one thing at the end."

I don't know if it's because of coercion or true yearning, but Bai's pupils shrank inexplicably, his pale lips finally began to change, and a powerless voice appeared on this peaceful cliff:

"What..?"

Seeing that Bai finally reacted, Naruko also showed a faint smile:

"Do you think you can do it?"

"what..?"

"I'm asking you, do you think you can do enough not to cut off the last promise?"

"what!!?"

Naruko's low collar was grabbed, and the white, delicate and solitary face had already occupied all of Naruko's field of vision, and every time he went up and down, even the tears fell on Naruko's face in accordance with the force of gravity , Bai's expression was mixed with bitterness, anger and urgency...

"Can you do it?"

The girl's calm voice entered Bai's ears clearly again, and Bai was taken aback for a moment. Naruko did not make any resistance to his aggressive actions, nor did he make any retreat. The girl's eyes were full of firmness. .

"I..."

"Can't it be done? Even this...can't be done?"

The hands that grabbed Naruko's collar lost strength, and Shiro's face gradually receded from Naruko's vision...

"What I said is true. After all, thanks to your mercy, I saw the end. You can even rely on other people who were present at the time to confirm...

"So you can't even promise to do what you entrusted in the end?"

Naruko's words are like sharp knives, every one of them can pierce Shiro's already fragmented heart, Bai is very simple, but also very clumsy..

Simple as a tool, clumsy as a person...

I can understand Zabuzhan's attitude toward me all the time, but in the end I didn't choose to break it, I still choose to maintain it silently, choose to follow behind as a tool that is not important...

Maybe it's just to make Zaibu cut and look down on myself...

Because he is willing to give everything for Zabuzhan, but he doesn't want Zabuzhan to give anything for him..

But it was also because of this that the contrasting ending made it even more difficult for him to accept..

"When... of course!"

His hands, which had no strength at all, clenched into fists.

"tell me..."

Every voice seemed hoarse and forceful, and transparent teardrops also fell.

"I..must..wrong!!.I....!??"

Bai's fair but shameful fingers touched Bai's lips, and every word Bai spoke made people feel sad. Under the slightly frowned brows, even Naruko showed a helpless wry smile...

Even if he hasn't finished speaking, Naruko can easily guess the follow-up: it's not certain, but it must be done...

Under Bai's moist eye sockets, Naruko put her lips to Bai's ear, as if to make the fairy Ah Bai miss any word:

"His exact words...'Alone, live.'"

The girl's ethereal voice was infinitely amplified in Bai's ears, but what he saw with his dark eyes was the gentle smiling face of the girl in front of him again.

Under his vague consciousness, Bai seemed to be able to see the scene at that time, saw the embarrassed figure standing in front of him at the end, smelled the disgusting smell of blood, and heard the hoarse voice that he was familiar with but lost the majesty of the past. ...

'What a useless tool, I don't need you anymore, alone..'

'Live on..'
