After a brief moment of looking at each other, the two jumped down, seemingly followed closely by their former selves.

At this moment, they only saw each other.

The time and space of the past and the present overlap and overlap, making it difficult to distinguish. In a trance, people actually have the illusion of wandering back and forth between illusion and reality.

At first, Naruto didn't use all his strength.

He has always been so optimistic, always subconsciously feeling that things can still be undone, even if the other party has already put the unsheathed sharp knife to his throat with an expressionless face.

The young man stubbornly believed that the dispute between him and Zuo Zi was simply caused by different ideas, and there was no need to fight to the death.

But unfortunately, Sako didn't appreciate what someone did.

Taijutsu punches hit the flesh, shurikens and kuns are fired without fail, aiming specifically at the vital points.

Go Fire Ball, Chidori, Amaterasu, Tenshou, Kagi Earth Life, All-Seeing Tenki... the girl used many moves, and in the end she opened the full Susanoo that can only be used by the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan..

She spent her whole life learning just to uproot the memory that was deeply rooted in her mind.

Sako completely sealed her heart, sealing it tightly without leaving any gaps.

She focused all her attention on the battle, ignoring the screams of the idiot with dazzling blond hair.

Gradually, Naruto felt powerless for a long time.

He was really surprised when Sako used his heavenly hand power to instantly change places with Qiudao Yu.

This unexpected blow nearly penetrated the young man's heart.

In order to avoid being attacked by Tenshou again, as a precaution, Naruto threw all the remaining Taoist Jade into the rushing waterfall without hesitation.

But Sako's offensive did not weaken, on the contrary, it continued to deepen.

Facing the complete Susanoo who was as huge as a mountain, conventional ninjutsu seemed like a joke. In desperation, the boy who was forced into a desperate situation had no choice but to transform into a tailed beast.

He also began to go all out.

Uzumaki Naruto was never afraid of death.

But sometimes he was afraid of death... afraid of dying at the wrong time.

Sako was condescending, and Susanoo, who had absorbed the chakra of the nine tailed beasts, became more and more dazzling, just like the Kengo Thunder God who symbolized disaster and order in ancient legends.

The girl's eyes were particularly determined.

Although her disguise was infinitely close to perfection, Naruto still keenly captured the flash of loneliness.

Sako, you are obviously longing for redemption...why do you want to run away? ? ?

Beliefs gained by deceiving oneself will not last long.

Are you tired, Sako?

I know it's hard to give up and change.

There is no way, there are too many unbreakable shackles in the world. Most of the time, we are forced to do ridiculous things that go against our hearts.

It just so happens that both of us are the kind of stubborn people who don't know how to adapt. If we find a path, we have to go to the end.

It seems that a character who does what he says can be quite troublesome sometimes~~~

But now, it is no longer so important to discuss what is right and what is wrong.

If you really can't understand each other when you are alive, opening your heart to another world may also be a good choice.…………

In short, no matter what, this time... I will never let you step into the darkness alone again.

Naruto smiled slightly and successfully met those beautiful eyes as plain as a mirror.

In the next second, the two perfectly explained what it means to be in tune with each other.

They attacked almost simultaneously.

The moment Indra's arrow came into contact with the six-path super-tailed beast's Rasenshuriken, the color of heaven and earth changed.

The air waves surged like crazy, forming a towering tornado.

The aftermath of the attack tore through the sky and devastated the terrain of the Valley of the End. Thunder rolls, violent winds sweep in, and everything in its path wails.

The dust was endless, blocking the sky and making it daunting, even Kakashi and Obito, who were dozens of kilometers away, were affected.

The entire earth has lost a layer of color. Looking away, there is nothing but gray.

Not only monotonous, but extremely chaotic.

The world seems to have come to an end.

Deep in the clouds, the exhausted Naruto and Sako began to fall vertically in a free fall, looking like two kites with broken strings.

After this battle, the two men's chakra was basically exhausted.

Falling suddenly from a height of several hundred meters without any precautions, Naruto, who had the physical blessings of the Kyuubi and the Uzumaki clan, might be able to grit his teeth and push through, but Sako, who lost Susan's protection, would not be able to bear it.

After all, no matter how astonishing the destructive power is, a ninja who has not completely entered the six realms is only a mortal body. Without the protection of chakra coat, the defensive power is really unflattering.

If you're lucky, you might be left with a complete corpse, but if you're unlucky, you may not be able to piece together a complete set of parts.

Naruto never wanted to see that kind of tragedy happen.

For Sako's safety, at the critical moment, he decisively opened his arms and hugged her opponent's slim waist, then desperately adjusted the angle in mid-air, and finally managed to change position under the girl at the last moment before landing.

It has to be said that Naruto's temporary meat pad is really qualified.

Sako, who was firmly protected in his arms, had no scratches on her skin except for some dust on her clothes and silk. It would be an exaggeration to say that she was unscathed.

However, even though the young man's physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people, it has not reached the level of steel and iron.

After all this trouble, even if he didn't belch on the spot, he almost lost half his life.

To be honest, Naruto felt that no part of his body, from the roots of his hair to the tips of his toes, felt better. The pain came one after another, burning, as if he was being burned.

But he has no regrets.

If he could do it all over again, Naruto would definitely make the same choice in the same way.

That's how he is, reckless, impulsive, and acting without regard for the consequences.

At that moment, Naruto forgot to think and didn't need to think at all.

""Protect Sako at all costs" has long been an instinct engraved deep in the boy's genes. It is more natural than a conditioned reflex. To put it simply, the limbs are faster than the brain, and it is completely at will.

Fortunately... I managed to catch up.…………

Instead of watching Sako get hurt, it would be better to just kill me.…………

Naruto let out a sigh of relief.

He would rather die than have his ice-crystal and pure face fall apart.

The young man who endured the pain raised his arm and wanted to touch the other person, but he was too weak and failed to do so after several attempts.

This feeling of being so close but not being able to touch is really bad.

Sako sat slumped on Naruto's waist in a riding position, her eyes were quite confused, her beautiful eyes widened, as if she was filled with endless confusion.

The girl could not figure out why the idiot in front of her could help her enemy on a life-and-death battlefield.

I want to take your life... Naruto Uzumaki.

What on earth do you have to do before you are willing to give up on me? ? ?

Sako tilted her head, and the black bangs on her forehead fell to one side due to gravity.

Some questions are destined to remain unanswered.

Their eyes met, and the intersection of their gazes began to heat up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The warm breath slapped each other's faces evenly. Because the distance was so close, they could clearly feel each other's heartbeat rate.

"Cough...cough…………Sako, are you okay?"

Naruto, who was almost paralyzed, forced himself to give the girl a smile that was much better than crying.

But his disguise was so poor and full of loopholes that he couldn't even deceive himself, let alone hide it from someone as careful as his hair. Sako

"Crane tail, are you crazy?"

The voice was stuck in the throat.

She no longer had the stubbornness of the past. The girl pursed her lips, her face was stiff, and her expression was dull, like an empty shell that had lost its soul.

"why save me"

"I don’t know, my body moves on its own."

Naruto's answer is not half false.

Because he is a big fool who doesn't even know how to lie.

"Just like when you were in the Land of Waves, you sacrificed your life to block Shiro's Senbon for me."

"Tsk, don’t think this can make me change my mind!!!"

Zao Zi suddenly raised his voice, as if he wanted to dispel the memories that were evoked in the depths of his mind.

"Uzumaki Naruto, you are moved by your wishful thinking!!"

"……"

"Don't try to use some random and baseless bullshit 'bond' as a restraint. Do you really think you are indispensable to me?!!"

"……"

"Now, if I want to, I can kill you with just a move of my fingers! Do you understand?!!!"

"……"

"say something!! Stop pretending to be dumb for me. Aren't you the best at using your words to defeat enemies? Come then!! Crane tail, try to convince me!!! Do you have that ability?!!"

Sako's breathing became more rapid, and his eyes were red, and he spat hard on the ground.

"Remember, Uzumaki Naruto, I have never regarded you as a friend."

These hesitant words have no credibility.

No matter how much the girl denies it, it will be useless. Even if the lie is repeated a thousand or even ten thousand times, it is still a lie.

Her heart is already in chaos. As early as when she felt the other person's body temperature For a moment, he was completely confused.

Looking at the disgraced young man in front of him, Zuo Zi suddenly felt an inexplicable irritation.

"Crane tail, go to hell with that self-righteousness."

After saying that, Zuo Zi directly raised his fist and hit Naruto in the face. The force became heavier and heavier, and in the end it became a one-sided beating.

"Again and again, again and again... again and again…………You stand up and get in my way time and time again. Do you think this is cool? ……Fool! idiot!! idiot!! Damn it!!! Give up your resistance and die!!!"

Zaozi roared like crazy, and the words she blurted out used all the insulting words she could think of.

Her facial features were almost distorted, and her original delicate face was also deformed by anger.

Compared with the reformer who had nothing At this moment, Zuozi was more like a little girl venting her emotions to her lover after suffering a lot of grievances.

On the other side, Naruto was still lying there quietly, letting the rain of fists hit him, but he never said a word. , as if he couldn't feel the pain at all.

The boy didn't avoid it, and he really didn't have the strength to avoid it.

In Naruto's opinion, Sako, who threw away his worries and made a fuss about him, was more free and easy than ever.

He likes the messy Sako, and he also likes the unreasonable Sako.

Naruto subconsciously believes that Sako should be unrestrained.

After all, apart from all unnecessary factors, she is just a young girl who has just turned seventeen. Girl.

You are seventeen years old, the most brilliant age in your life.

Why should you bear the hatred of the whole world? Obviously, you are also one of the victims.…………

His heart was still twitching violently uncontrollably, and the corners of his eyes were inexplicably sore. Naruto, who was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, silently hugged the scarred little wild cat tighter in his arms.

Thousands of words that were originally prepared were suddenly blocked, and finally condensed into a concise and concise expression of true feelings:

"I can't do it because... I'm the only one."

Sometimes, confession does not necessarily have to be grand words, as plain as water can also stir up waves.

In fact,"love" does not need to be elaborated in too cumbersome words. It itself is the most valuable love letter in the world.

The young man expected The answer brought Zuo Zi back to his senses.

This meant that the two of them had been fighting from early morning to dusk.

Countless colors were intertwined, more vivid than blood, stronger than fire, on the boundless canvas of the sky.

Zuo Zi gathered all the remaining chakra into the palm of his hand.

"Farewell, my only one."

The tone was so soft that it was as if she was muttering to herself.

She aimed the Chidori exactly at Naruto's heart.

Although there was not much trauma, due to excessive consumption of chakra, Sako My physical condition was not optimistic either.

Unprecedented fatigue came into my mind, my eyelids became heavier and my consciousness gradually blurred. At the last second before falling into coma, the girl finally made the stabbing movement.

She could go back to being alone.

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and it wasn't until she saw the blood spurting out clearly that Zuo Zi closed her eyes with peace of mind.

"Sorry... crane tail…………"

…………………………

Under the mixture of light and shadow, it is mottled, dreamlike, and unimaginable.

The blending of blood and tears seems to penetrate the soul even further on top of the already unforgettable memory.

Like a fleeting flash of lightning.

After the dazzling thunder, the world returned to deathly silence.
