After the two Anbu ninjas declared martial law over, the crowd of students in the second year's first grade suddenly cheered. Then, like a swarm of bees rushed out the door.
Naruto, with an excited expression, should also leave. Even if his palms were bleeding, he didn't even know it. Not until Hinata stopped him did he stop. “Naruto..”
Naruto stunned. In a hurry, he almost forgot about Hinata. He turned around and looked sadly at Hinata. He thought about what he should say to her, but he was stopped by Hinata's movements. He took out a cotton swab directly from his pocket and cleaned Naruto's wound.
Naruto found out that his hand was injured.
But Naruto, right now, why would he care about getting hurt or not? Uneasily. He just wants to make an excuse to go: “Hinata, i..”
He wasn't waiting for her to finish again. Hinata interrupted again. Hinata continues to clean her wounds, thinking of her own business: “Naruto, whatever happens to you... remember... I will always support you.”.
Naruto was stunned for a while.
When that reaction came, there was warmth in his heart. Because of Hinata's words, she calmed down a little. He doesn't talk anymore. He just silently looked at Hinata, bandaging her wound. Hinata took out bandages and bandaged the injured Naruto's palms one after another. The process is very soft.
‘I'm afraid I'll hurt Naruto.’
But what he didn't know was that his actions today finally touched Naruto and let Naruto really feel that there was such a person besides the big brother in this world, who cared for him.
Not long after, the wound was quickly bandaged.
Hinata raised her head, silently looking towards Naruto. There's no sound. His eyes, not avoiding at all this time, seemed to tell Naruto, ‘I will support you for whatever you want to do’.
Seeing Hinata's gaze, Naruto smiled.
“Just now, Sasuke's expression was tense. I'm worried about him. So let's go and see it together.”
“Un.” Hinata nodded.
……
Soon, Naruto took Hinata's small hand and ran out of the school.
They don't run far. They just left school. But they've heard a lot of lies and slander around.
“Halo, have you heard? Martial law just now just because Uchiha Itachi betrayed the village!”
“Yes, I also heard that Uchiha Itachi not only betrayed the village but also killed the clan members!”
“Hei~ I don't trust~. A good genius like him .. how could he be so ruthless and merciless?
These lies and slanders…
Martial law had just ended, and rumors spread rapidly throughout the village. Needless to say, this is, of course, the work of the four Konoha elders. Otherwise, the news would not have spread so quickly.
Naruto and Hinata were immediately nervous when they heard the news. Hinata was surprised by the news, leaving her head blank.
The news is really unbelievable.
Naruto became more anxious. He looked normal on the surface. But in fact, he gritted his teeth: ‘Damn it! Damnit damnit! Brother's right! This group!!!!!! Dirt!!!’
Their pace is getting faster and faster.
Not waiting for them to go far, they were blocked again. Naruto only wants to yell at her but finds that the guards are often following Hinata in the past. Naruto opened his mouth but did not scold.
“It..”.
The guard's words pulled Hinata back from reality to a dull state.
Hearing the guard's words, Hinata's heart sank even more. If it wasn't for the guard's words, perhaps he still had hope, hoping the rumors were false.
‘Does that mean even dad knew about the Sasuke clan?! How can this be wrong?!’
Hinata, who analyzed the truth of the matter in an instant, did not know what to do for a while. He wanted to visit Sasuke. But the problem was, judging from the posture of this guard, it was impossible for him to let go.
If he did not comply, perhaps it would affect Naruto.
Hinata who always works hard and never complains must hesitate to follow Naruto or not. Because it was clear that his father did not want him to participate in this matter, so he issued this order …
Hinata panic. He was so nervous that his nose was sour, and his eyes were involuntarily filled with tears.
As if looking at Naruto who was thinking about it, at this moment, another small hand of Hinata that floated in the air also lifted. He put his hand down with his own, trying to make Hinata feel warm, comfortable. “Hinata, it's okay. You can go back with him. I just need to see Sasuke. You can be sure. ”
Hinata looked at Naruto and the guard again, still hesitating.
“Go. Trust me.” Naruto gave her a warm smile.
Hinata refused and walked back to the Hyuga Clan residence while being guarded by guards.
After Hinata's silhouette disappeared from his sight, Naruto forcefully ran towards the residence of the Uchiha Clan.
……..
The time on the road seemed to pass very slowly. Naruto never felt that Sasuke's home was so far away.
While running, Naruto blames himself.
‘Sial!’
If this doubt were to disappear for a long time, perhaps he could prevent this from happening!
‘Damn it, old fogey! Why are you so cruel?!’
“”
Naruto was filled with anger. He ran for about two minutes before reaching the Uchiha residence. This showed how far the residence of the Uchiha Clan was from the reach of the village core.
It's just that when he saw the situation in his residence, Naruto's inner rage instantly dissipated.
Standing there stunned, there was a void in his mind. His face turned pale. He saw a shocking sight that he had never seen before, and he did not want to see it!
The villagers have long since dispersed. There are no villagers here!
One by one the corpses were greeted by masked ninjas from the gates of Sasuke's house and passed in front of him without disguise.
As if he didn't exist…
