"Ano what? Ano what? Why do Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke have the same illness?" Naruto really doesn't know how to read people's expressions.
The casual question immediately froze the originally relaxed atmosphere in the ward.
Sasuke leaned against the window, pursed his lips, and lowered his head.
He happened to witness Kakashi being sent out of the Hokage Building; it was hyperbreathing.
He had personally experienced those symptoms, so of course he knew under what circumstances they would occur, and it was probably related to that screen.
Although he didn't understand why.
"You're so smug when you're lecturing, but so pathetic when it comes to yourself," he scoffed, glancing at Kakashi's almost deathly expression out of the corner of his eye, and gave a cold snort.
When he learned the truth about the Uchiha clan massacre, he was hospitalized with hyperventilation. This guy was the one who took care of him and even went on and on, offering a lot of comforting words.
Although he didn't listen.
"Oh dear, I got a lecture from Sasuke, I feel a little embarrassed," Kakashi said, narrowing his crescent-shaped eyes and trying to change the subject.
He's never proactively brought up his own affairs; that's always been his nature.
"Alright, thank you all for coming to see me, but I'm completely fine now. Seeing my lovely disciples, I've fully recovered!"
"To celebrate and thank my lovely students, come and give your teacher a hug."
Saying such things in a cloying, coquettish tone, and then reaching out for a hug, is enough to give anyone goosebumps.
Naruto moved away from him with an extremely disgusted expression, "Kakashi, you're such a pervert!! Let me tell you, I don't like men!!"
"what?"
"Wait, Naruto, this is too much!" Kakashi-sensei was so heartbroken that he made a dramatic facial expression!
"Don't think I don't know how many times you've hugged Sasuke, Naruto! Especially when Sasuke was recovering from his illness."
Sasuke & Naruto: "..." Suddenly blushed.
Damn it, I must be angry!
Sakura's face darkened, and she clenched her fists and roared wildly, "Damn Naruto, he actually stole Sasuke's hug while she was away!"
Chapter 27 Sasuke: I'm going to kill them all!
"Hey, Kakashi-sensei, those things from above can't be true, right?" Naruto suddenly asked, looking at him. Meeting Kakashi's almost blank expression, he awkwardly scratched his cheek. "It's about that White Fang of Konoha..."
"It couldn't have been done by my grandfather three generations ago, could it?"
"He's not that kind of person, is he?"
His third grandfather had always taken good care of him since he was very young. He was a powerful Hokage, and everyone respected and liked him.
He wanted to become Hokage because he saw the Third Hokage.
Because in this way, I can be loved by everyone, just like my grandfather who was three generations ago!
How could someone so powerful kill Kakashi-sensei's father, and also Sasuke's family?
That's simply impossible.
"Hmph, who knows? The higher-ups in Konoha are all rotten. Even if he didn't do it, he must have known."
Sasuke suddenly snorted. He remembered very clearly the scene of those old guys gathering together to discuss the Uchiha clan.
What do they know about the Uchiha, that they're all so arrogant and domineering, that they want to regain their power?
The Third Hokage, despite being a Hokage, was rendered speechless in that situation, and no one listened to what he said.
Either he never intended to stop it, or he was simply incompetent.
"What Hokage? Just a useless old man, a hypocrite," the contempt in his voice was almost overflowing. "If he really wanted to stop the rumors from spreading, wouldn't a Hokage be able to do it?"
"The leak of the mission must have involved his tacit approval."
The author named "Wandering Tomato" is definitely right in his analysis; those people must have forced him to his death because they didn't want Konoha's White Fang to become Hokage.
Perhaps the Uchiha clan was wiped out because the higher-ups wanted their Sharingan.
The Third Hokage might already be in cahoots with Danzo, but the Sixth Hokage just hadn't discovered it yet.
Sasuke now harbors deep disgust and hatred towards the Konoha leadership, especially those old men.
If it weren't for the fact that what Tobirama Senju said made some sense, he would have left the village long ago to go find Itachi.
"What did you say? The Third Hokage wasn't like that at all!" Naruto grabbed his collar and shouted angrily.
"Isn't the truth already clear?" Sasuke gave a mocking smile, then suddenly seemed to remember something and continued, "Didn't you also fail to learn about your origins from the Third Hokage?"
“There are people with the surname Whirlpool on the screen, maybe even your parents, but the old man still didn’t tell you anything.”
"What a kind old man! He's just a hypocrite!"
Naruto was taken aback, his azure pupils contracted slightly, then he gritted his teeth, "Nonsense!!"
"That's not how it is!" He reached out and grabbed Sasuke by the collar, like a scaly tabby cat with its claws outstretched, its angry whiskers almost materializing. "You harbor resentment towards the Third Hokage because of the Uchiha clan."
"This has nothing to do with my third grandfather, does it? He tried his best to stop it. In the end, it's your family that wanted a coup that caused this."
The words "Uchiha clan" struck a nerve with Sasuke.
The anger in my heart was ignited instantly, turning into a raging inferno.
"Huh?" Sasuke sneered. "What do you know? I'm asking you what you know about the Uchiha clan!"
"You have no parents, no clan, and have always been all alone. What do you know?" The angry question almost left Naruto speechless.
"In the end, you yourself are quite suspicious of that old man, aren't you?" Sasuke's Sharingan, glowing red, reflected the bewildered face of the loser, but he felt only a sense of satisfaction, speaking almost mockingly:
"You've just been deceiving yourself, aren't you? You're afraid that if you confront them, you'll lose the only elder who cares about you. You just lack love."
"That's why I was fooled by that clumsy disguise!"
The moment he finished speaking, the room fell silent. Naruto stood there, stunned, and weakly released Sasuke's collar with both hands.
A hint of hurt flashed deep within his constricted pupils, and he suddenly shouted angrily:
"You bastard Sasuke, I hate you so much!"
Then he turned and ran away, leaving Sasuke standing there dumbfounded, looking down in astonishment at the hand he had pushed away.
There are two obvious water droplets on it.
Those are Naruto's tears. That guy... cried.
The fleeting pleasure of venting anger by hurting others leaves only a sense of bewilderment and near-emptiness in the heart.
"Naruto!" Sakura, who was desperately trying to calm the two down, was completely ignored, becoming just a background figure. "Sasuke, really, you went too far this time, and Naruto too."
"Seriously, can't you two calm down and talk things out? Kakashi-sensei, are you just going to stand there and watch?"
"Did you feel good just now, Sasuke?" Kakashi ignored Sakura's complaint, walked towards Sasuke, bent down, and stared sharply at his pale face.
"What did you say?"
"Did you feel happy just now?" His gaze seemed to see right through everything hidden.
"You've been enduring this for a long time, haven't you? Ever since you learned the truth about the Uchiha clan's massacre, you've been holding back."
"I want to kill the elders, I want the Third Hokage to pay the price, and I want to shut up those ninjas who talk about the Uchiha, because they don't understand the Uchiha at all."
"So, having failed to do anything, you vented your pent-up anger on Naruto, didn't you?"
"And then? Did you finally feel relieved?"
The calm yet sharp question made Sasuke's face stiffen. He clenched his teeth and stared at him stubbornly, his eyes red with anger, his Sharingan popping out, and his knuckles turning white from the force.
He spoke in a near-desperate tone: "That's right, I want to kill them all!"
"That damned Danzo who stole the Sharingan, Mitokado Homura who relentlessly pressured the Uchiha clan, Utatane Koharu, and the hypocritical and incompetent Third Hokage!"
"And those ninjas who call themselves evil Uchiha, coup plotters, or traitors—I want to kill them all!"
The overt hatred in her tone and the intense killing intent in her eyes made Sakura unconsciously take a step back, her pupils contracting uncontrollably.
"So you're going to kill me now? If you don't, I'll kill them all one day when I have the power! I mean what I say!"
Sasuke stared at Kakashi with a fierce gaze, but suddenly saw him shed that sharp, insightful expression, his eyes filled with a sorrowful calm.
"I should have told you, Sasuke, that revenge only leaves you with emptiness."
Still the same sentence.
Kakashi had told him this the first time he was hospitalized because of the Uchiha clan massacre.
He scoffed at her question, "Then how about killing all the people important to you now?"
“I don’t care anymore, because,” he looked at the white-haired man, narrowing his eyes and giving a bitter smile, “all the most important people in my life have been killed.”
He took a deep breath and, facing Kakashi who said those words again, suddenly didn't know how to respond.
Kakashi sighed. "If you can't understand what that means, then think carefully about how you felt just now."
Sasuke frowned: "What?"
"After hurting Naruto, how did you feel?" He paused for a second, then continued, "You felt pain, regret, and emptiness, right? As someone who's been there, let me tell you, this is how you feel after taking revenge."
"Who cares about you!" Kakashi suddenly saw Sasuke roar, "If I let the enemy live freely, how can the souls of my dead clansmen and parents find peace?"
"Feelings? That has nothing to do with me! No matter what you say, I won't change my mind!" With that, she turned and ran out.
P.S.: You didn't expect that, did you? They were all lovey-dovey in the last chapter, and they immediately turned on each other in this one.
Chapter 28 Waste, waste, waste... Obito Uchiha roared!
"Kakashi-sensei..." Sakura frowned, worried. Naruto was like this, Sasuke was like this, and even Kakashi-sensei was like this.
Ever since that screen appeared, everyone has become abnormal.
She suddenly felt very lost, feeling out of place with her companions, and worried about them, but she couldn't truly understand their feelings.
"It's alright," Kakashi turned around, smiled at her with a crescent moon shape, placed his large hand on her head and gently rubbed it, his tone very gentle, "Nothing will happen, don't worry, everyone just needs some time to adjust."
"It will be fine after a while, and everyone will return to how they were before."
"Sakura just needs to take advantage of those two brats being sentimental and work hard to learn medical ninjutsu."
