Chapter 116: I've Always Loved You
"You ......" Uchiha Sasuke's eyes widened in vain.
Why did Sakura do this, and why did she value someone who only knew revenge so much?
He didn't understand, but he couldn't ignore the residual hot and moist touch on his lips.
Sakura let go of Sasuke's hand, and there were only two of them in this forest.
"Sasuke, I really like you."
“……”
The forest fell silent because of these words, and the two people inside looked at each other silently, each with a different scenery in their eyes.
The corners of Sasuke's eyes slowly returned to normal, and his dark eyes stared at the girl's pretty face with tears on it, and the coldness in his eyes suddenly dissipated.
He wanted to react with a cold face, but for some reason, he couldn't do it.
"Sakura-chan, give up on me. We are not people of the same world......"
A cool breeze hit, but Sakura's figure seemed to be fixed in the wind, letting the wind blow her beautiful short pink hair.
"Sasuke, you know what?" Sakura's eyebrows lowered, "Since I was in the same group as you, we carried out the mission together, even if the task was hard and tiring, I felt very happy." ”
"Because you're always there for me. You have become my companion, I can watch you every day, I can talk to you, I can do things together, I think there is no happiest thing than this. ”
She took a deep breath, "I know it's hard to change your decision, so if you insist on leaving, please take me with you." ”
Sasuke stared at her, as if to carve Sakura's shadow into his eyes, and he made a decision in his mind.
……
After a few moments, Sasuke Uchiha was already far away, running in the direction Itachi had left.
"Forget me, Sakura-chan, forget about me, Naruto......"
Even if there were still companions in the village who cared about him and people who liked him, Sasuke did not hesitate.
Carefully identifying the trail of the road, Sasuke hurried to catch up with the most important man.
Itachi also seemed to be very badly injured at the time, coughing up blood, and should have been recuperating somewhere for the past two days.
That guy used to stay away from the village like this, and in order to protect his only brother, he did not hesitate to kill all the people, and he did not hesitate to leave the village he had always loved and went into the darkness.
Sasuke wants to bring light to his brother in the dark.
I don't know how long it took, but it was about ten kilometers away from Konoha.
There is a small river that runs through the dense forest.
Sasuke leaned down and took a few sips, then took a large puddle of water and wiped his face.
Suddenly, a dark shadow caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye.
On the other side of the river, behind a big tree, someone came out and looked at him very calmly.
"Itachi?" Sasuke was stunned.
Itachi's expression was complicated, and his familiar voice came from across the riverbank, "Sasuke, you're here." ”
Sasuke's brows furrowed, and a complex and indescribable expression also welled up on his immature face.
Itachi's hard that guy was carrying such a heavy load, but he had been deceiving him.
The brother who has always hated it, the brother who has always wanted to kill it, is actually greater than everyone.
Two pale blue chakras welled up from the soles of Sasuke's feet, and he stepped on the surface of the water.
Behind him, Konoha Village, which has long been far away, and in front of him, is his brother who has always cared about him.
Itachi turned and walked towards the woods.
After a while, he came to a cliff, stretched out his hand and pressed it somewhere, and suddenly, a cave appeared.
Itachi got inside, Sasuke followed, and the two sat down in the hideaway.
There was a pile of firewood burning on the ground, emitting a bright flame, and the atmosphere between the two suddenly warmed a little.
"Itachi, do you know I'm coming?" Sasuke asked.
Itachi Uchiha looked sideways at him, "...... I hope you don't come. ”
"Sorry to let your hopes go up."
Sasuke stared at the burning firewood, and the memories of years ago came back in his mind.
Dad, mother, brother and him, the family is happily together, there is no conspiracy, no ambition, only the warmth of home.
Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever.
"Itachi, there's something you should tell me personally."
Itachi also looked at the firewood, the bright flames blooming in his eyes, and he squinted slightly, "Sasuke, you have made a very good friend, if it weren't for him, I might have taken this secret all the way to hell." ”
"Naruto?"
Sasuke mentioned it, and kept silent again.
"Alright, I'll tell you what you want to know."
Itachi Uchiha opened the Sharingan, "I'll let you see all the truth." ”
The two looked at each other, and Sasuke suddenly entered the memory of Uchiha Itachi.
The events of that year are truly reproduced in Sasuke's eyes, from the beginning to the end, there is no fall at all.
"It's ......"
Sasuke Uchiha saw the home from many years ago, his parents were kneeling in the bedroom, and behind them stood Itachi, the night the Uchiha was wiped out.
Contrary to what they imagined, their parents did not die in despair, but they waited for the Itachi to make a move.
"Why is this happening?" Sasuke's eyes twitched, and he continued to look.
The voice of his father, Uchiha Fugaku, came, "I don't want to kill myself with my own son. Itachi, you're already on the other side of Konoha Village? ”
"Dad, Mommy, I'm ......"
Uchiha Itachi held the ninja knife in both hands, the blade of the ninja knife was bright and sharp, and in the bedroom without the lights on, it bloomed with a cold cold glow due to the moonlight.
Itachi kept his head down, his mind making a difficult choice to swing the butcher knife at his parents.
However, his mother dispelled his hesitation and said very gently, "We understand, Itachi." ”
The father added, "Itachi, finally promise me...... Sasuke will entrust it to you. ”
In the face of death, his parents were not afraid at all, and they were even helping him make a choice.
"I understand." Tears fell silently from the corners of Itachi's eyes, and teardrops the size of beans fell on the hand holding the ninja knife, and the hand trembled unconsciously.
Even if his parents gave up hope of life, he still had a hard time doing it.
This is not an enemy, but his own parents!
"Don't be afraid," said his father, Uchiha Fugaku, "this is the path you have chosen, compared to you, our pain is only for a moment, and you have to carry it for the rest of your life." ”
A relieved smile appeared on his face, "Itachi, even if you think differently, we are still proud of you, you are really a kind child." “
Itachi hugged the handle of the knife, sobbing and choking, and the tear bank was opened, as if he had cried out all the tears of his life.
He finally raised his hand and slashed his sword towards the sky.
The bodies of his parents fell in a pool of blood, the blood was still hot, and the weasel stared blankly at the parents who were killed by his own hands, and the whole person fell into darkness completely.
At this moment, it seemed that the whole world had turned blood red, and the only thing that remained unchanged was the incomparably bright full moon in the sky.
……
"Now I have no reservations, I tell all the truth, and I don't hide it anymore."
The two of them withdrew from their memories, and Itachi's red blood chakra eyes looked at Sasuke and said.
"I always lie to you, ask you to forgive me, always push you away with these hands, I don't want to get you involved......"
He suddenly stood up and walked over to Sasuke, hugging his only brother and never pushing him any further.
"It's okay if you never forgive me, no matter what you become in the future......"
"I'll always love you!"
