Chapter Forty-Eight: A Few Years in a Hurry

Sighing, Katsuragi pushed open the door and saw Naruto talking to Sasuke who was leaning on the hospital bed with an impatient face, and Shikamaru and Ninji on the side also frowned.

"Katsuragi!"

"Katsuragi, you're here!"

Seeing Katsuragi coming in, Shikamaru and Dingji both said hello, and Naruto also quickly ran to his side and complained, "Katsuragi, Sasuke, this guy doesn't say anything!" ”

"Hmm!"

Katsuragi nodded, came to Sasuke's side, looked at Sasuke who was staring out the window blankly, and said, "Sasuke, I've heard about that incident a few days ago!" ”

Hearing Katsuragi's words, Sasuke finally reacted slightly, turned his head, and after glancing at Katsuragi calmly, he still didn't speak, and Naruto on the side asked beside him:

"Katsuragi, what have you heard?"

"Nothing!" Katsuragi shook his head and didn't answer Naruto's question, then turned to look at the three of them and said, "Let me talk to Sasuke alone, okay?" ”

"Huh! Why......"

Naruto was stunned, and just when he was about to ask something, he was pulled by Shikamaru on the side, and then Shikamaru nodded and replied to Katsuragi, "We'll wait for you outside!" ”

"Thank you!"

After watching the three of them leave, Katsuragi sat down next to Sasuke, sighed and said, "For your family's affairs, please mourn and change!" ”

"Why?"

Perhaps he really needed to vent, and in front of Katsuragi, the only person his age who was stronger than him and knew things, Sasuke finally spoke: "Why do you say he did this!" ”

"Your brother?" Katsuragi asked.

Although he knew very well that it was because the village and Danzo were forcing Itachi to do this, and of course there was also the reason why the Uchiha himself wanted to rebel, but he couldn't tell Sasuke about this, otherwise, he would have estimated that he would be taken to the dark department for interrogation after leaving the hospital.

"Why did he kill them, they are all relatives!" Sasuke had tears in his eyes and looked at Katsuragi: "And Mom and Dad, they ...... Why, why ......"

Katsuragi was silent, he really didn't know how to answer, Sasuke's feelings at this time were beyond his comprehension.

Although he is an orphan in this life, the people who are good to him around him are still alive, and he also has an almost adult mind, even if he is lonely in this world alone, there is Shikigami to tell.

That's why he couldn't understand Sasuke, who was originally the son of a famous family, the son of the patriarch, and had a harmonious and happy family, except for being bullied by Katsuragi at school, it was almost everyone's dream life.

But he fell from heaven to hell overnight, his family was ruined, and he was still the hand of his most admired brother, this kind of mood, Guimu really can't empathize.

"Sasuke ......"

Looking at Sasuke with tears streaming down his face, Katsuragi felt a little heavy in his heart, throughout Uchiha Itachi's life, it was full of tragedy, and his best friend Uchiha Shisui died in front of him.

In order to protect his younger brother, he had to kill his own people and even his parents with his own hands, and he had to hide it and admit it silently.

"I'm going to kill him!"

Sasuke wiped his tears, revealing a hideous expression, with deep hatred in his eyes, and an indifferent voice that seemed to be directed at Katsuragi and also to himself, saying, "From now on, I will be an avenger!" Until that person is killed! ”

Katsuragi looked at Sasuke quietly, he knew very well that the current Sasuke was definitely not what Itachi wanted to be, Itachi didn't tell Sasuke the truth, in addition to not wanting him to hate Konoha, he also wanted him to work hard to improve his strength and let him live better in this cruel world.

It's just that this expectation is a little too heavy for Sasuke, feeling the sense of surveillance around him, Katsuragi can't even say the words of persuasion, as the last orphan of Uchiha, whether it is the root or the dark part, it is too normal to be sent to monitor Sasuke's movements.

"Okay, don't think about it so much, even if you become an avenger, you have to take care of your body first!"

Katsuragi got up, looked at Sasuke on the hospital bed, smiled far-fetchedly, and said, "Moreover, when you are not there, everyone misses you very much, if you don't come back, I'm afraid it won't be a few of us who come to see you, and the whole class will come together at that time!" ”

"Don't say so much, Naruto and they're still waiting for me, you can rest first! Good bye! Katsuragi and Sasuke said goodbye and prepared to leave.

"Katsuragi!"

Just as Katsuragi walked to the door, he suddenly heard Sasuke call him, and he couldn't help but turn his head and look at him with a puzzled expression.

"Thank you!"

Looking at the residual warmth and emotion in Sasuke's eyes, Katsuragi smiled and waved his hand and left the ward, thinking in his heart: Even if he can't tell Sasuke the truth, as long as Naruto "takes care" of him more in his daily life, he should be able to alleviate that loneliness and hatred to some extent!

After leaving the hospital, no matter how Naruto asked, Katsuragi didn't tell him about Sasuke, rather than telling him about it, it was better to wait for Naruto to slowly find out about Sasuke's changes, which would deepen the foundation between them even more... Ahem, friendship.

Sasuke went back to school the day after Katsuragi and they went to the hospital, but Sasuke's change was something that almost everyone except Katsuragi didn't expect, in the past, Sasuke looked cool, but it didn't make people feel cold.

But after this incident, Sasuke turned into coldness, making it easy to feel the indifference and distance, except for the little girls who became more nymphomaniac, everyone else also somewhat refused to contact Sasuke.

Of course, the consequence of this was that it was more convenient for Naruto, and in the days that followed, with Katsuragi's intentional facilitation, the relationship between the two was much better, at least better than when the original book first formed a team.

……

"Crane tail, get out of the way!"

"Stinky fart, today I have learned a new move from Katsuragi, and I will definitely defeat you!"

Looking at the two people who were not far away and began to deepen their relationship again, Katsuragi sighed silently, these years have passed, Naruto really has perseverance, he has been defeated repeatedly, defeated again and again.

"Huh!?"

Hearing Naruto mention Katsuragi, Sasuke glanced sideways slightly, glanced at Katsuragi who was lying on the table with a weak face, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then said disdainfully to Naruto: "Hmph, it's just the tail of the crane." ”

"You bastard......"

Where can Naruto withstand this kind of anger, and instantly raised his fist and hit Sasuke, and in his mind he forgot the strategy that Katsuragi told him to use the "color lure" to sneak attack first and then attack.

"Idiot!"

Looking at the attacking Naruto, although Sasuke was a little surprised that the other party had increased a lot of strength, but after so many times, he was already familiar with Naruto's attack routine, so he dodged it on one side slightly, and then stretched out his right foot and stumbled, and Naruto, who couldn't stop, immediately fell towards the crowd.
