After hearing Kushina's words, Sakura's face couldn't help but show a worried expression, and she gently walked into the hospital room.

Seeing Sakura walking towards Naruto on the hospital bed, Kushina shook her head slightly and stepped back.

I saw Sakura restrain the worried look on her face, pretended to be relaxed and natural, and chuckled.

"Naruto, the village is almost restored now, and the weather has been fine these days, aren't you going to go out for a walk!?"

As she spoke, she walked to the window first and pulled the curtain open.

The warm light of the warm sunlight shone into the room, and Sakura turned her head slightly and smiled at Naruto.

"The doctor has already told me that your injuries have largely healed, and Kakashi-sensei will be unhappy if you continue to be lazy here!"

However, when Sakura saw the gloomy look on Naruto's face at this time, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment!

This is just like the Naruto she remembered with a sunny smile from time to time, Naruto's face was full of indescribable emptiness at this moment, and the whole person's appearance was also a lot more decadent.

After Sakura's words fell, it seemed that Naruto had noticed her coming.

His eyelids were raised slightly, and his azure eyes, which looked dull, looked at Sakura at this time, stunned for a moment, and said in a slightly hoarse voice.

"It's Sakura... You.. Why are you here...?"

Hearing Naruto's words, for some reason, Sakura's heart suddenly felt a pang of distress for no reason.

Even though I'm usually dissatisfied with Naruto's funny pranks, Sakura's heart has always regarded Naruto as a very trusted companion!

But now... The guy who used to bring laughter to others has become what he is now...

Sakura resisted the urge to cry, forced a smile, and then pretended to be angry.

"What, I've been in for so long, didn't you just notice me, Naruto!"

Hearing Sakura's words, the corners of Naruto's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a bitter smile, and then hurriedly wanted to get out of bed, ready to pour water to entertain Sakura.

It's just that as soon as he moved, his face suddenly turned white, and he fell on the bed a little weakly.

Seeing this, Sakura immediately showed a worried look on her face, quickly stepped forward to gently support him, and hurriedly said.

"Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, don't move too much!"

Hearing this, Naruto couldn't help but gasp lightly, revealing a bitter smile, and then his eyes darkened.

"I'm sorry.. I'm worried about Sakura..."

"I'm really useless..."

Hearing Naruto's words, Sakura couldn't help frowning, and just wanted to reprimand him, but seeing Naruto's appearance at this time, the words that had originally come to his lips swallowed again and said softly.

"What you need to do now is to take care of your body as soon as possible, and then take care of Kushinai-senpai... Instead of letting Kushinai-senpai take care of you all the time..."

Hearing this, Naruto seemed to want to say something, but in the end he had to turn his head slightly, his body lying on the bed curled up slightly, and his voice was very dim.

"I'm so useless right now...."

I saw him curl up again, bury his head on the pillow, and say with a hint of sobbing in his voice.

"Father.. Father.. And he died in front of me... But I can't do anything about it... Why.. Why am I so useless!!"

Hearing Naruto's words, Sakura, who originally wanted to persuade him, was also stunned at this time, with a complicated look on his face, and he didn't know how to persuade him, so he had to gently stroke Naruto's back.

The sobbing cry continued in the room for a long time, and it was only when the sound gradually subsided that Sakura gently moved away, looked at Naruto's back, and said softly.

"But... Hokage-sama managed to protect us, didn't he...?"

"Whether it's Dai-senpai or Hokage-sama, they both made their own decisions in that battle, even if it was sacrificing their own lives, they had to do their best to prevent Aizen from taking a step forward, for... Isn't it to protect everyone present at that time from being slaughtered by Aizen..."

Sakura's pretty face tightened, and her eyes were very serious.

"In the face of the almost invincible Aizen, isn't the reason why Dai-senpai and Hokage-sama are like this is to leave a trace of fire for the ninja world..."

"Or... Even at the last moment of his sacrifice, did Hokage-sama still believe that one day in the future, that boy named Naruto would lead the people of the ninja world again to defeat that existence that was difficult to look at?"

At this time, the room was shining with warm sunlight, and on the white hospital bed, Naruto was in tears, but he raised his head, looked at Sakura in a daze, and listened to her words.

Sakura also glanced at him, her face softened, and she said softly.

"I don't think Hokage-sama wavered until the last moment, he should always be convinced... I firmly believe that even if you lose him, Naruto, you will cheer up..."

"Convinced... The ninja world will eventually defeat the invincible Aizen... And the person who can make him sacrifice everything but still believes in it unreservedly... Who do you think it would be, Naruto?"

When Sakura's words fell, Naruto's pale little face did not change, but on his stunned face, tears kept sliding down the corners of his eyes, and his voice murmured.

"Father.. Father.. Is he convinced that I will defeat Aizen in the future...?"

In this regard, Sakura's eyes flashed with a hint of complexity, and she said softly.

"Although I haven't had much contact with Hokage-sama, even I can clearly feel Hokage-sama's love for Naruto..."

"He was a great father...."

Hearing this, for some reason, Naruto's mind conjured up an image that had happened in his memory.

In the empty forest, just as Naruto began to practice the Flying Thunder God with the Water Gate, he muttered quietly.

"Obviously, you haven't taught me any ninjutsu before, but now you have to force me to learn this move!"

As if hearing his complaints, Mizuto on the side was stunned, and then an apologetic smile appeared on his face and said to Naruto.

"I'm sorry.. Naruto... It seems that I have caused you a lot of trouble in the past with your education methods..."

Suddenly hearing Mizumon's apology, Naruto was also a little unnatural, looked away, and said softly.

"It's nothing, anyway, I've become a good ninja even on my own!"

Hearing this, Shuimen smiled, his eyes were full of relief, and said softly.

"That's right... So... Naruto will definitely become a ninja even better than me in the future!"

Hearing this, Naruto's face flushed, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and he didn't have a good air.

"Then you're really confident in me... I'm too embarrassed to say that myself...."

In this regard, Mizuto looked at Naruto with a serious face, a smile gradually appeared on his face, and he said gently.

"Yes, if it's Naruto, I'm sure you'll surpass me one day..."

Hearing this, Naruto froze.
