"It's the old woman again, huh!"

Hearing Katsuragi's words, Naruto angrily crossed his arms and turned his head, ignoring even the large bowl of ramen that Uncle Ichiraku had brought in.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Naruto, who looked like a child making trouble, Katsuragi asked with a smile on his face.

"I asked her to do the task alone a few days ago, but she didn't agree anyway, and I don't know where to hide my grandfather for three generations, and I can't find it anywhere."

Naruto explained to Katsuragi in a huff.

"Of course you can't find it."

Katsuragi thought of the three generations who were recuperating, sighed silently in his heart, and then comforted Naruto and said: "Naruto, don't worry, the village is so lively now, there are so many foreign ninjas, maybe there will be danger, so don't think about leaving the village first, and when it stabilizes, I'll figure out a way with you, okay?" ”

"That's what you said."

Hearing that Katsuragi was going to help him figure out a way, Naruto immediately became happy, then looked at the steaming ramen on the table, pushed it in front of Katsuragi and said, "Here, I'll treat you to ramen." ”

"Thank you, but I just finished eating, so let's eat." Katsuragi waved his hand, just now he accompanied Hinata and Hanako to eat a lot of barbecue, and now he can't eat anything.

"Then next time I invite you to eat, I'll start first."

Naruto didn't say anything polite to Katsuragi either, bringing the ramen back to him, sniffing and saying.

"Eat, eat."

Katsuragi looked at the stacked bowls beside Naruto, and felt a little helpless, he had eaten so many bowls, and it was quite powerful to be able to eat the same bowl as the first bowl.

Because he wanted to ask about Sasuke and Sakura, Katsuragi didn't leave, and after Naruto finished eating ramen, he accompanied him and started to go home.

"How did you say Sasuke, how was he?"

On the way, hearing Katsuragi ask about Sasuke, Naruto pouted and said a little unpleasantly: "It's still that stinky fart, I go to Kakashi-sensei whenever I have the chance, and Kakashi-sensei is also very partial, and every time I go to him, he doesn't teach me well." ”

Katsuragi smiled, he didn't take it seriously, although Naruto didn't write wheels, but Kakashi would definitely not turn a blind eye to Naruto, he could only say that his fighting style was not suitable for Naruto, and he really couldn't teach as wholeheartedly as Sasuke.

"What about Sakura!?"

Katsuragi continued to ask, although Sakura already had the heart to become stronger, Kakashi's fighting style was more unsuitable for her than Naruto.

Sakura-chan ......

Naruto paused, and was silent for a long time before he spoke, "Katsuragi, I actually want to say one more thing, can you also help Sakura think of a way." ”

"She's worked hard all this time, even harder than Sasuke and me, and I know she's holding back the seventh class, but there's no such thing at all."

Looking at the excited Naruto, Katsuragi didn't know what to say, sighed, and replied, "I understand, after all, I'm also a member of the seventh class, don't worry, I will definitely find a way." ”

"Thank you, Katsuragi."

Naruto looked at Katsuragi gratefully, he knew Katsuragi had always done what he said.

"Okay, you're almost home, I'm going back too."

At a fork in the road, Katsuragi said goodbye to Naruto, and under the bright moonlight, he did not go straight home, but came to the residence of the Uchiha clan.

The cold station was empty, there was no figure, after the Uchiha exterminated the clan, although the territory of the Uchiha clan was reclaimed a lot, but most of it was still preserved, and I don't know if it was because of Sasuke, the last orphan.

Of course, Sasuke didn't live alone in such a cold station, but in a small house not far from here.

Katsuragi came to Sasuke's house and took a look, and found that the lights in the house were not on, and as far as he knew, Sasuke was not in the habit of going to rest so early.

Coming to the Uchiha clan's training ground, Katsuragi really saw a figure there, it was Sasuke, and just as he was about to step forward to say hello, Sasuke's appearance made him stop moving.

"Curse Seal!?"

Katsuragi quickly hid behind a tree, frowning and looking at Sasuke who was covered with black strange symbols all over his body, he didn't expect Sasuke to be able to open the spell mark state without the help of Orochimaru.

"Who?"

Because Katsuragi didn't think about hiding his whereabouts at first, Sasuke in the state of the curse found him at once.

"Me!"

Looking at Sasuke, who was quickly removing the curse mark, Katsuragi stepped out of the shadows.

"Katsuragi!?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Sasuke's eyes, as if he didn't expect it to be Katsuragi, and then said calmly, "Are you back from the mission?" ”

"Well, just came back today."

Katsuragi walked up to Sasuke and looked at Sasuke carefully, after all, it didn't take long, so Sasuke's appearance didn't change much, but his eyes seemed to be colder.

"Does Kakashi-sensei know about what happened just now?"

Katsuragi suddenly asked, if Kakashi acquiesced to Sasuke's behavior, he wouldn't be able to say anything, but he felt that Kakashi shouldn't be that kind of person.

Sasuke was silent, and it took a long time before he replied, "I don't know." ”

Katsura Mu looked like this, and then sighed and said, "This power is not your own, can you really rest assured that you can use it?" ”

"As long as I can find the truth of the matter, I am willing to pay whatever the cost."

Perhaps because of Katsuragi's persuasion, Sasuke is no longer so obsessed with killing Itachi, but he wants to know the secret behind it all, and he understands that it also requires strength support, and if he can't even touch Itachi's height, how can he see everything he sees.

"Then have you thought about Naruto and Sakura, and Kakashi-sensei?"

Katsuragi pressed Sasuke's shoulder, stared at him seriously and asked, "Doesn't it matter if it hurts them?" ”

Sasuke was silent again, and although he wanted to answer yes, he knew that he didn't want any of the three and Katsuragi to be harmed.

Looking at Sasuke's expression, Katsuragi knew that everything he had done was still somewhat useful, at least the current Sasuke was not so ruthless as in the original book that he directly abandoned everyone and defected.

"I can tell you one thing, my mission out of the village this time is actually to investigate Itachi and his companions!"

"What!?"

Sasuke instantly became excited, grabbed Katsuragi's arm, and asked, "Did you see him?" Where is he? ”

"You calm down first."

Katsuragi frowned and looked at Sasuke, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know where he is now, this happened many days ago." ”

Sasuke took a deep breath, although there was still some anger and confusion in his eyes, but it was much better than just now, and asked Katsuragi again, "What is your mission?" ”

"Itachi joined a mysterious organization, and has a teammate named Dry Persimmon Oni Shark, who is an S-level rebel ninja of the fog and is very powerful, and the two of them appeared in the territory of the Fire Country some time ago, because I have the ability to turn into smoke, so the three generations of adults sent me to investigate their purpose."

Katsuragi and Sasuke explained the mission, and while it was a bit against the rules of the village, Katsuragi wasn't the kind of person who liked to follow the rules.

"Did you find out anything?"

Sasuke clenched his fists and asked, in fact, he really wanted to see Itachi again and ask him face to face what was going on.

"I'm sorry, the two of them are too strong, I just found them and I found them."

Katsuragi shrugged his shoulders and looked helpless, in the final analysis, it wasn't that he was weak, but that the weasel and the ghost shark were both very strong, and at such a close distance, it was not a shame to be discovered by the two.

When Sasuke heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and although he didn't say anything, the curse mark on his neck suddenly spread, making Katsuragi, who had been paying attention, still feel very uneasy.

"Sasuke, the power of this spell seal, are you really going to use it?"

Katsuragi said again: "Actually, after losing the two of them, I went to Orochimaru's base again, and met a person who was very similar to the spell mark on his neck. ”
