I, Naruko, don't want to be Hokage

"Don't worry, I won't leave yet."

Gaara chose to believe this unfounded promise, and under Naruko's call, Gaara also walked up to Naruko, and finally sat down as if he had forgotten his own mission.

At this time, Naruko still didn't take any precautions, but just brushed the bangs in front of Sasuke's cheeks.

"I have to leave Konoha."

"Why? Because... Sasuke Uchiha?"

Gaara remembers Sasuke's name. After all, Sasuke punched him hard at that time, not out of resentment, but simply based on the powerful strength Sasuke showed.

But the problem is also here, the idiot can also see that Naruko and Sasuke obviously had a fight before he came here, but Gaara didn't know the reason, not to mention that the mission he received would still include Naruko and Sasuke All the people inside will be caught and brought back.

Naruko thought for a while, then nodded but shook his head again:

"Hey, but only half of it..."

"half?"

This made Gaara even more puzzled.

"Is that you...don't like your village?"

"Ha...why do you think so?" Naruko was amused by Gaara's almost childlike thinking, only to find that what Gaara said seemed to be true.

"Well~ I can't say I like it, but Konoha has my friends, so maybe I still like it."

"Then..why!?"

Gaara looked straight at Naruko, because Naruko's statement was contradictory.

"Because I can't stay there."

"What about your 'companion'? That's not..."

Putting the cart before the horse?What Gaara wants to express is very obvious, but it is actually the exact opposite of what Naruko thinks.

"No, I left Konoha, it's safer for them."

This time the tone was unusually serious, Gaara could feel the firmness in the pile of sky blue that suddenly caught in his eyes.

Yes, it's not just for Sasuke, as Naruko knows that her presence could bring destruction to Konoha in the near future.

No, to be precise, it is the existence of Nine Tails.

The plot of Payne attacking Konoha may not be forgotten. Although many changes have taken place in the current world, Naruko dare not make rash conclusions, and the future will definitely change.

Before everything comes, no one knows the result, right?

Naruko doesn't think that she will be able to defeat Payne, nor does she think that she will be able to rewrite Nagato's heart. If Konoha is wiped out by then, is she really capable of dealing with Nagato?Is it really possible to convince Nagato, and even let Nagato resort to heretics and reincarnation?

So even if it is to prevent all this, leaving Konoha is not a plan. If the incident of him defecting as Jinzhuli spreads, then Akatsuki may not regard Konoha as a target in the first place.

Naruko doesn't like Konoha, but just as she thought, this is the village Sarutobi saved, and she will not allow Konoha to be destroyed.

So even knowing how reckless her behavior was, Naruko had to make a change, which was her other half's reason.

And she still has some unrealistic desires to achieve. There are other "resurrection" ninjutsu in this world. She wants to find them. She is afraid... before losing any existence around her...

"Gaara, you know what is in your body, and there is a similar guy living in my body."

"!!"

Gaara was surprised, of course he could understand what Naruko said, but what surprised him even more was that Naruko actually said that she was the same as himself.

"There are a group of guys who are eyeing the guy in our body. They are all very strong. They are too strong. Everyone in Konoha can't deal with it, so I don't want my existence to cause trouble to the village."

Hey, compared to the troubles caused by his defection to the village now, the existence of 'Akatsuki' is the one that endangers the ninja world.

Gaara fell into silence, the basic reason has been heard clearly, and he doesn't know whether it is good or bad after knowing the truth now.

"Could it be..."

"Ok?"

"Could I also...to Kankuro, Temari and the others..."

"what.."

I Ai Luo was a little lost in thought, but it made Naruko chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing..sorry"

Gaara's thinking is very serious, but it is because of this clumsy seriousness that this young man who has not known the word "companion" for a long time looks cute. This makes Naruko subconsciously stroke the boy's head, feeling the current Gaara is really like a five or six year old kid...

"It's no problem, Gaara can protect them. If you're still afraid, get stronger. Be strong enough to protect Kankuro, Temari, and even everyone in Sand Hidden."

Naruko smiled, of course it wasn't ridicule, she smiled very kindly, after all, did she know that Gaara was going to become Kazekage's person!

Gaara was a little dazed, and didn't mean to dodge, just immersed in the tenderness of the girl...

"It's almost time to go." Naruko looked at Gaara. "Aren't you arresting me and going back? What about the mission?"

"No problem, just say I didn't see you."

Naruko showed a wry smile, I really don't know how effective Gaara's serious lying can be, but based on Gaara's character, maybe it's because of Gaara's seriousness that people don't ask more questions.

After tidying up all the kunai scattered on the field, Naruko looked at the unconscious boy, and finally gently held the boy's palm.

Inky cherry blossom petals appeared on the back of the young man's hand, but disappeared after a while...

"So, here I go .. idiot."

Chapter 48 The same person

"Say, let's wait for other people to come over... I don't know how Kankuro and the others are doing..."

Gaara doesn't have much experience in taking care of the wounded, or he is a layman in this area. Regarding Sasuke who is unconscious at this time, he doesn't know whether he should choose to take him back directly, so to be on the safe side, he chose to wait for Temari and so on. the arrival of people.

But while he was waiting, an unknown coldness dotted his cheeks.

"rain.."

The surface of the lake first bloomed in circles of beautiful ripples, which gradually enlarged, and finally turned into rippling chaos.

Gaara, who fell into an unknown daze, was stunned for a moment, looked at the boy lying on the ground beside him, and began to quickly look for a place to shelter from the rain.

Seeing the raindrops gradually falling on Sasuke's body, the gray-yellow quicksand turned into palms to wrap up and lift up.

And perhaps sensing the coldness of the raindrops, the comatose teenager opened his eyes in this haze...

"Sasuke..."

Gaara didn't expect such a situation, but subconsciously called Sasuke's name.

"You are.."

The body was obviously a little weak, Sasuke covered half of his face, and his head was a little dizzy, Gaara used quicksand to support Sasuke's body, but did not stop Sasuke from making any movements.

As for Gaara who suddenly appeared in his field of vision, Sasuke couldn't figure out the situation, not to mention whether it was an enemy or a friend, but it was strange from the appearance of Gaara.

It’s just that Gaara didn’t show any hostility, and he didn’t need to make any particularly big reactions. He just thought about it this way, and when he realized something again, he looked around in a panic, as if he was looking for something.

Gaara was startled by Sasuke's unusual behavior at first, but immediately understood what Sasuke was looking for, and before he could explain, Sasuke rushed over and grabbed his shoulder.

"Where's Naruko!!?"

Yes, I don't even bother to ask why Gaara appeared, because at this time, there is no blond girl in this canyon...

"left already."

Such an answer made Sasuke a little excited, as if he didn't want to agree with such a fact, he lowered his head...

Although I don't want to hit Sasuke, Gaara still intends to complete Naruko's entrustment first.

"She asked me to tell you - 'You lost'." ! !

Just a few simple words made Sasuke's heart fall into an ice cellar. In his eyes, the meaning expressed by these three words is very simple. He himself did not stop Naruko from leaving...

"Where did she go..."

Looking at his trembling hands, Sasuke didn't know why he asked such a question.

If it was normal, he might easily recognize his failure, after all, he is used to losing, only this time he really doesn't want to admit it...

He alienated the truth that was only one step away, and at the same time lost his friend... He knows that Naruko is really gone...

He didn't know why, but he was very irritable. At this moment, he would rather he hadn't made this bet with Naruko.

He regretted why he was obsessed with this truth, which led to such a result... Now he just wants to get Naruko back...

"Where did she go!?"

The question was repeated again, and the dotted dew had turned into light rain, dyeing the boy's already wet hair once again.

Gaara didn't know what happened to Naruko and Sasuke, but unfortunately, he didn't have the right to answer Sasuke, even if he had, he didn't know where Naruko went.

Relying on Naruko who left from Fei Lei Shen, Gaara also discerned the direction where Naruko left unexpectedly...

Snapped! ——

"Hey...! What are you doing?"

Sasuke fell into the quicksand, tried to stand up but fell again...

"Qi! Damn it!"

Sasuke cursed secretly, and beat his thigh hard, as if complaining about his incompetence.

No need to guess that Gaara already knew what Sasuke wanted to do, but he wanted to stop it but was pushed away by Sasuke.

"Don't get in the way!"

"It's too messy!"

Gaara supported Sasuke who almost fell down again, and he could see that Sasuke was serious, but all he could do was persuade him.

"No Road Race!! It has nothing to do with you!"

Some people can't understand Sasuke's impulse, but Gaara understands that it's not okay to let Sasuke mess around like this, so he immediately bound Sasuke's body with quicksand, but after Sasuke finally felt a little strength back, he wanted to break free forcefully Come on!But also at this moment, Gaara, who sensed something, immediately wrapped Sasuke in quicksand, and launched an absolute defense!

"Sasuke!"

Bang! ! ——

The gravel scattered in the water wantonly, and the scattered particles were wetted in a blink of an eye, and even if such an abnormality happened, Sasuke didn't have the time to pay attention to it, and still tried to break free from Gaara's quicksand.

On the lake, the red-haired boy who was also wet by the rain was watching his movements with a smile.

"Oh, where is this going?"

"You were... during the Chunin exam..."

"Hey, just call me Hatake."

Although there was no hostility on the young man's face, the previous attack had already made my Ailuo's eyes a little more wary.

And after hearing the name 'Hatake', Sasuke regained his senses, only to realize that the voice on the other side was so familiar.

"Why attack us?"

"Where is Naruko!!!?"

Before Gaara could ask the most essential question clearly, Sasuke had already roared to Hatake to ask about Naruko's whereabouts.

He had a hunch, or he was sure that Yuzhu must know where Naruko was!

And Yuzhu didn't expect Sasuke to ask this question as soon as he saw him. I don't know whether Sasuke went through several rounds of reasoning or guessing, but he felt that Sasuke was a fool, because even if he knew, he wouldn't say it?

"Hmph, even if I tell you, what can you do?"

Yuzhu chuckled, feeling that Sasuke was really funny at this time.

Seeing such a scene, he was already sure that this battle was won by Naruko...

And Gaara, who also realized that something was wrong, looked a little bit more serious

"Where's Kankuro and Temari!?"

Kankuro and Temari scattered support with him, but after so long, Gaara felt a little strange.

More importantly, he has not seen anyone other than Sasuke and Naruko who was asked to bring back during the mission!
