Chapter 45: Sasuke
Naruto once read a news about the Thunderbolt King's treatment of Internet addiction.
Initially, he did not take it seriously, but when he saw that Sasuke was obsessed, he subconsciously used electrotherapy.
He did not expect the effect to be so good.
After apologizing to the hospital staff and promising compensation, Naruto and Rock Lee took Sasuke back to the ward.
Sasuke was confused and depressed.
After being treated by electrotherapy, he found that his previous emotions had been affected by Tsukuyomi.
In a short day, from the carefree young master of a wealthy clan to the current Uchiha's orphan and even being ruthlessly destroyed by Genjutsu and Tsukuyomi, his initially immature worldview had been distorted.
He did not know what he was going to do next.
He also didn't know what he should do.
Naruto gently wiped away the dust from the battle for Sasuke.
"Let's think about this matter again. Maybe we can help you a little."
"The brother who has always loved you suddenly changed his temperament and killed Uchiha in one night."
"But only your life was left behind, allowing you to live in hatred."
"The whole thing is full of doubts."
"Do you think Itachi can exterminate the whole family by himself?"
"Is it possible that this is not the truth?"
Hearing Naruto's slow persuasion, Sasuke was stunned for a moment, and his confused eyes burst out with a light of hope.
Itachi occupied a crucial position in his heart, which even his parents could not surpass.
After being "educated" by Itachi, Sasuke's heart was like dead ashes, and his heart was occupied by hatred. But now, what Naruto said brought him hope.
Perhaps.
Itachi was not that kind of person.
That's right!
He was like a drowning man grasping at a life-saving straw. He looked at Naruto with a burning passion. His eyes, originally filled with despair, were now filled with vigor. He said incoherently,
"Naruto, Itachi, Itachi is not that kind of person. Don't you think so?"
Sasuke liked his brother the most. Even now, he still had his fantasy for Itachi.
He hoped that he would still be the same him.
However, he saw Naruto shake his head.
"I don't know. You, I, everyone doesn't know the truth. Maybe some people know, but I believe that what they have to do is bury the truth."
"But I'm the same as you. I don't believe a gentle person like him would do such a crazy thing."
"Remember what I told you? Don't be deceived by your eyes."
"If he did it, how did he do it? Why did he exterminate the clan? Why did he leave you alive?"
"If he didn't do it, then who did it? What was his purpose? What role did Itachi play in destroying the clan?"
"These are all things you have to think about."
Naruto revealed a distressed expression as he looked at the setting sun outside the window. His tone was a little low as if he had thought of something.
"Sasuke, I once had countless questions. Why does everyone hate me? Why did they make me Kyubi? Who are my parents?"
"I have no parents. Who exactly am I?"
"All these problems were very painful, affecting me constantly."
"But then I thought it through."
"In this life, people will walk the wrong path. They will also suffer many betrayals. They will be in a sorry state, and there will be happiness. It doesn't matter. As long as they are alive, there will be hope."
"Only by living can we find the truth."
"The darkest thing in this world is to be blinded by hatred and lose the courage to find the truth. Ultimately, I found out that I hated the wrong person."
At this point, Naruto put his hand on Sasuke's shoulder and said softly,
"You have to remember that you still have us and everyone. We will always accompany you on the way to find the truth."
"..."
"Get stronger, Sasuke. No matter what the truth is, we can only confirm that Itachi wants you to become stronger, and you have no choice but to become stronger."
"Don't be blinded by hatred. You are the proud Uchiha."
After listening to what Naruto said, Sasuke fell into silence. There were thousands of thoughts in his mind, and he thought a lot.
Tsukuyomi really had a great influence on him, and the pain of being in the situation still affected his judgment.
But as Naruto said, there were too many suspicious points in the genocide incident.
When he calmed down and thought back, hatred blinded him.
Even if it was hatred, he could not hate the wrong person.
He raised his head, and his eyes became firm.
"Naruto, I know what you mean."
"No matter the truth, I must become stronger now. Only by becoming stronger can I find out the truth."
"Therefore, the current me will bear the glory of Uchiha. I want to continue to become stronger. I want to revive Uchiha. I want to find the truth."
"In the future, please advise me." Sasuke extended his hand toward Naruto.
"And Lee."
"Sasuke, Don't worry. I will help you find the truth!" Rock Lee was already in tears, sobbing silently.
"This is the Sasuke that I know," Naruto revealed a gratified smile.
That smile was brilliant, like the gentle Itachi from back then.
Sasuke was suddenly enlightened.
...
Inside Inchiraku Ramen's shop.
Uncle Teuchi closed the door early. There were only three customers in the shop, Naruto, Rock Lee, and Sasuke.
The fragrance of noodles wafted through the air, filling the entire space.
Sasuke remembered that he last came to Inchiraku Ramen with Itachi.
At that time, Itachi was very gentle and would lovingly wipe away the soup at the corner of his mouth.
At that time, Itachi...
And myself at that time...
In just a few days, things had changed.
Everything had changed.
Sasuke buried his head in his mouth and ate as if eating with all his strength. He almost buried his head in the bowl, and only the sound of the continuous slurping of noodles could be heard.
"Eat slowly. No one will snatch it from you." Naruto reminded him from the side. Through Sasuke's slightly trembling body, he could feel the sadness in his heart.
Even if he pretended to be strong, he was still a seven-year-old child.
"I have to eat my fill. I want to eat more. I want to supplement my body with nutrition. Only then will I have the strength to train and become stronger seriously! Then I will stand in front of him and ask the truth." Sasuke kept muttering in his heart, his mouth bulging.
My favorite ramen flavor at this moment was like chewing wax. He repeated, stuffing his mouth like a robot, chewing hard.
Unconsciously, two lines of tears slid down his face.
Sasuke sniffed awkwardly, picked up the bowl, and covered his face, but the unstoppable tears continued to fall on his clothes.
Damn it.
He could not be seen with such a shady side.
I am a person who carries the pride of Uchiha. I can not disgrace the face of the family.
He roared in his heart, but his tears poured out like a flood.
The drops, mixed with the soup, fell into the bowl and were drunk.
It was salty.
Naruto watched this scene quietly, feeling somewhat moved in his heart.
A youth who grew up early because of despair.
If he could cross this hurdle, he might be able to become his opponent in the future.
Naruto thought to himself.
"Eat more. I want to eat more too." To not embarrass Sasuke, Naruto pretended to be unaware and picked up the bowl and began eating as well.
"Yosh, I am also hot-blooded! I also have to work hard to eat! Only then will I have the strength to train!" At the side, Rock Lee suddenly felt his blood boil. Under Naruto's dumbfounded gaze, he ate and even shouted,
"Naruto, let's each eat three people's ramen today. Tomorrow, our training intensity will increase by three times. Only by working hard can we become stronger! Charge!"
"As expected of the most hardworking Lee." A gentle smile appeared on Naruto's face.
