Naruto: First Love

Chapter 348 Are you worried about him?

A thunderclap exploded in Xinzi's heart.

She seemed to be able to hear her own heartbeat, which was beating non-stop, again and again, very quickly.

Before Kokoro could react, Itachi put her down and stood in front of her, his back to the moonlight, looking at her quietly, waiting for her answer.

Xinzi had no idea how she should react.

Itachi had already said that he liked her.

But Koko was always conflicted, was Itachi really in love, or was he just pretending to like her? The story clearly said that Itachi's girlfriend was Izumi.

They are all still young, only 10 years old.

At the age of 10, do they really understand what love is? Is it Itachi's illusion? When he is 13, he realizes that he actually likes Izumi?
Koko's facial expression kept changing, how could Itachi not notice it?
He put Xinzi's shoes down, squatted down, and his cold voice had a hint of anxiety.

"Xinzi, don't you believe me?"

Xinzi knew that he was unhappy again because she didn't believe him.

He looked up blankly, meeting Itachi's eyes.

Reflected in his cold and indifferent eyes is her under the moonlight, with pink petals, seeming to be slowly swaying.

Koko didn't know if it was emotion, but she felt happy to see Itachi.

He stammered, "But, you are Uchiha Itachi, why do you like me?"

Because you are Uchiha Itachi, the pride of the Uchiha clan, the future of the Uchiha clan, the hero who wiped out the clan for the village, the lonely traveler, the guardian of the dark night. This is very different from her who is ordinary.

The light in Itachi's eyes dimmed in an instant. "Do you also think that I am the future of the Uchiha clan?"

Xinzi, do you also think that he should work hard for the clan?

Xinzi shook her head quickly, fearing that he would misunderstand, "No, Itachi, I didn't mean that. You know, I have no feelings for the Uchiha clan, otherwise, I would not have quit the Uchiha clan. I just... I just feel that you are Uchiha Itachi, a genius, and I am a loser who cannot stand the light of day..."

You now have the pride of a clan, a wonderful family, an excellent brain and wisdom, but I have nothing.

Itachi calmed down after hearing what she said.

Sitting next to Xinzi, the moonlight was reflected in his black eyes, but that moonlight, somehow, was also scarlet, just like the blood of those dead lives he had seen before.

"I hate war and want to change, so I will be an excellent ninja. You have experienced war and you should know that too many people died in that war. Now Konoha needs ninjas to protect it, and I want to be this ninja. Father said that Uchiha should be proud of the Uchiha clan, and for the sake of the clan, certain sacrifices must be made. Father also said that geniuses do not need friends. Father hopes that I can become what he wants me to be, but you should know..."

Itachi's voice began to become ethereal as he spoke of himself.

My heart suddenly stopped.

Yes.

She had experienced war and knew the cruelty of war. The war took away her father, and the man who summoned the Nine-Tails took away her mother. Later, the masked man took away her identity and gave Itachi a pair of cursed eyes.

There is also Natsume, Kong, and Wen Yuehai. They all became orphans because of the war.

She has been working hard to become an outstanding Anbu ninja for so many years. Her previous goal seemed to have always been to become stronger. Why did she become stronger? To survive!
Later, he wanted to learn medical ninjutsu in order to survive.

However, the reason she learned medical ninjutsu was actually because of Itachi, so Itachi was really more special to her than others.

She was sad when Natsume died, but she didn't give up on becoming a ninja, nor did she think about becoming a medical ninja.

In the end, the only one who could influence her was Itachi.

"I don't know how much time I have left, what the future will be like, the Uchiha clan and Konoha, the five great nations... If war can be avoided, I hope to change it, to avoid war." Itachi raised his head and looked at the sky. His voice was cold, but it was firm and passionate. "I don't want to leave any regrets. As a ninja, a tool for peace, I don't want to die one day because of something and take away all the regrets."

Xinzi was shocked.

Suddenly, I thought of Itachi's ending.

dead!
He was only 21 years old, and died young. He died quietly for Konoha and for Uchiha Sasuke, but few people knew about it.

The thought of Itachi dying made Kokoro's heart twitch.

This was a question she had never thought about deliberately.

Now, Itachi was in front of her, tearing this issue apart again, exposing it in front of her, forcing her to face it.

If Itachi died, she would be the only one left in the Mizunotsuki class.

Perhaps, she died earlier than Itachi, dying in a mission one day, following in her parents' footsteps.

If she died, Itachi was still alive, alive, Itachi died, she was still alive...

Xinzi suddenly didn't dare to imagine that scene.

My nose felt slightly sore and my eyes started to blur.

No, she doesn't!
Wasn't she studying medical ninjutsu now? For Itachi, for the future, she would definitely be able to do it, she would definitely survive, and she would definitely save Itachi.

But, fate has arranged it that way, can she really resist?
Itachi didn't get a response from her and was about to continue talking when he felt the body of the person next to him begin to tremble and he quickly turned to look.

Xinzi's eyes were full of panic and worry. What kind of pain was that? Itachi seemed to have never experienced it before.

He didn't think about it carefully, he just knew that Xinzi was crying.

He raised his hand and wiped away Xinzi's tears, "Why are you crying?"

As a ninja, I rarely cry.

Although Xinzi is not particularly outstanding, she is not a crybaby either.

The Xinzi he had seen cried only on those occasions, right? Normally, Xinzi was calm and cheerful.

His voice was still very gentle, at least not rough or cold, just the coldness that she was familiar with.

But Xinzi couldn't stand him like this.

Because he always has that expression, so cold, and he can hide everything, so that no one knows what he is thinking.

"Stop talking, Itachi!" Xinzi hugged her legs in pain, tears streaming down her thighs, and her yukata was wet.

Itachi frowned and hugged Xinzi in his arms, feeling Xinzi trembling.

Is she still afraid of death? This is not the emotion a ninja should have.

"Ninja, every day will come."

"But..." Xinzi buried her head in his chest sullenly, "Itachi, please don't die."

Itachi paused for a moment, then stretched out his body. Xinzi, are you worried about him?
