Naruto: First Love

Chapter 339 I like you, not anyone else

"come in."

After seeing his mother and brother off, Itachi turned around, looked out the window, and said calmly.

Xinzi responded and jumped in.

Seeing Itachi lying on the bed covered in bandages, with his eyes bandaged, Xinzi's nose felt sore, but no tears fell.

"Feel sorry……"

Xinzi spoke sullenly.

She didn't even know why she was apologizing.

Itachi shook his head, "Why apologize?"

Xinzi was stunned for a moment, looked at him, and stammered: "If I had listened to you and left, you wouldn't have been hurt so badly because of me."

Itachi was stunned, "Why do you feel that way?"

"Isn't this true?" Xinzi lowered his head, feeling a little lost.

She had been in the Anbu for so long and thought she had matured and become stronger, but who knew that she was still holding Itachi back.

"If it weren't for you, I might have died out there," Itachi reminded her.

Xinzi sighed, knowing that he was comforting herself.

Although Itachi was covered in blood at the time, he did not have any particularly serious wounds. If he had not helped her block that attack later, Itachi would probably not have been injured.

"Are you going to take part in the Chunin Exam?" Shinko clearly wanted to ask a question, but what came out of her mouth was a statement.

Itachi nodded, "Yeah, Shisui told you?"

"Is the Uchiha clan in trouble recently?" Xinzi neither denied nor admitted it, but changed the subject.

Itachi was stunned for a moment, and reflexively thought of Shisui, "Did Shisui tell you that?"

Xinzi shook her head, "No, I guessed."

Itachi knew that Shisui was a smart man, and Shisui would not tell Xinzi about such things, as that was too dangerous. Xinzi was no longer a member of the Uchiha clan, so there was no need for him to know.

He still had some doubts about Xinzi's guess.

If it was just a guess, how could it be so accurate? Directly saying that the Uchiha clan was not peaceful?

"Oh, you guessed wrong." Itachi lied lightly.

Xinzi's eyes suddenly darkened, "Itachi, I'm not a child. I can still tell the difference between truth and falsehood."

"I don't understand?" Itachi looked at her, his cold eyes did not reveal the slightest expression, making it impossible to understand what he was thinking, "Didn't you guess?"

"It's just a guess, but it has a basis." Xinzi frowned, "Your father is the patriarch of the Uchiha clan. What could be more important than his own son being injured? It must be a clan matter. Aren't all Uchiha clan members like that? Abandoning one person for the sake of the clan."

Itachi didn't protest this time.

Xinzi was right. His father was indeed the kind of person who could abandon others for the sake of clan matters.

People in the tribe all focus on the tribe's affairs, and quite a few of them talk about their tribe all day long.

Itachi didn't speak for a long time.

Xinzi stopped talking and stood aside. Seeing that Itachi had no intention of speaking, he sighed and said, "Thank you for saving me yesterday."

In fact, she was still surprised by what Itachi said yesterday before he fell into a coma. She wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

Because she was alone, Xinzi got used to it and just wanted to survive. She never thought that there would be someone else living with her in the future.

She also chose to ignore what Natsume said before he died. After all, Natsume was already dead, so all she needed to do was remember Natsume's feelings.

But Itachi is still alive and well. He said those words that led to misunderstandings, but now he acts as if nothing happened. Xinzi really doesn't know where to start.

Maybe I meant something else yesterday and she misunderstood me.

And didn't he hear Aunt Mikoto say that Izumi was his girlfriend? Even his family knew about it, so maybe it was true and Itachi was just too embarrassed to admit it?

But when he thought that they might really be boyfriend and girlfriend, Xinzi's face turned pale and he felt very uncomfortable.

"Xinzi." Itachi saw that Xinzi's face seemed a little strange, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, you rest first, I'll go back." Xinzi said, climbing onto the windowsill and wanting to jump out.

"No, stay. I just have something to tell you."

Xinzi had no choice but to nod and sit down.

Itachi handed her some fruit, knowing that she had no relatives and could not notify anyone else because she was injured and hospitalized, so no one brought her food.

I was indeed a little hungry.

I hadn't felt anything since I woke up, but now that I saw the food, I was really hungry, so I took it without hesitation and started eating.

While eating, he sighed and said, "Itachi, you are actually very lucky. You have your family to accompany you to grow up, so don't forget them. After all, you are blood relatives."

What she meant was that she hoped Itachi would always remember his parents and not kill everyone for the sake of the village, including his own parents.

But Itachi had no idea what she meant, he just thought she was lamenting that her parents were dead and she had no relatives.

"I will become your family from now on."

These are words of comfort, coming from the cold mouth of the itachi, but they carry a different kind of warmth.

Xinzi blinked, blushed at Itachi's serious look, and quickly turned her head away, a little nervous, even her words were not very clear, "What are you talking about? Haha, I know, the Uchiha clan, we all have the last name Uchiha, we are indeed a family, but I am no longer a member of the Uchiha clan."

Itachi frowned, "I thought I made that clear yesterday, Kokoro."

He was not angry, but disappointed.

Xinzi could sense it and knew what he meant, but she still didn't dare to believe it. After all, Itachi was so outstanding...

Xinzi wanted to escape, but Fengjian Yexue had taught her that, apart from matters concerning life, there were some things, especially matters of the heart, that one should never escape from.

Although at that time she felt that love was the love between family members and the love between teacher and student with Teacher Ye Xue, but now that there is this different kind of love, she should face it well.

"Itachi, did you misunderstand? Maybe you don't like me at all. After all, I'm just an ANBU member, and a terrible one at that... That Izumi... Izumi is also very good, and she's from the Uchiha family, so she's more suitable for you."

Itachi's face darkened a little when he heard this, he knew what Xinzi meant by that.

It's not rejection, but worry.

She didn't know what true love was and was worried that he didn't really like her, so she brought up Quan.

He did know Izumi, and she was the only woman in the Uchiha clan who was close to him, but he didn't understand her, nor did he like her.

Suitable?

Itachi thought of his father and felt unhappy.

The word "suitable" should come from a father's mouth.

"I like you, it has nothing to do with anyone else, Xinzi, you also know that the Uchiha clan is not peaceful, we don't know when something will happen, so I don't like to regret it."

I like you, not anyone else.

So what if Quan is suitable for him? He hates war, and within his limited ability, he hopes to bring his heart with him so that he will not have any regrets.
