"No rest for you huh?"
While I was panicking about Kurama noticing that I am not the actual Naruto, Shikamaru arrived in my hospital room.
"Shikamaru?"
He didn't seem to mind that I am behaving differently, being not cheerful at all. Afterall, Sasuke leaving the village will lead to some changes, so that's an excuse.
So I guess I don't really have to worry about anyone else but Kurama noticing that I am not Naruto.
Shikamaru told me that everyone survived. But many wouldn't have if not for Tsunade being here.
Neji, Chouji almost died. Shikamaru and Kiba might have also died.
Naruto did die.
"That jerk Sasuke..."
While reading the story, I liked Sasuke. In fact, I cheered when he killed Danzo. Though he went crazy after that, until Naruto had to sacrifice his arm to defeat him, I didn't feel much angry at him.
But now that I am in the story...
I can't just easily forgive him.
I am not Naruto, afterall.
Sakura and Tsunade arrived in the room.
"Naruto..."
She was shocked and worried by looking at all the bandages.
"Don't worry, I think I have already healed."
Tsunade took a look at me, and said, "I heard you were wounded pretty badly. But you look good enough for me."
Yeah. Naruto's healing abilities are amazing.
"Sasuke..."
"Yeah. He left. Just a little power was enough for him to do all this. He is weak-minded, but I don't think Orochimaru will be able to take over his body."
In any case, Sakura and Kakashi care about him. And Sasuke alone isn't at fault for all this. Hiruzen, Danzo and the other two elders, Orochimaru , Itachi, Obito...
...At the end of the day, Sasuke is just a 13 year old kid.
What I need to do is to protect him from Itachi and Obito's manipulation in the coming future.
It doesn't matter if I don't want to forgive him, but whether others whom he have hurt are willing to forgive him.
"Don't worry. I will save him."
"Naruto... I am sorry. You will need to wait for a while, but next time, I am coming with you."
Sakura said that, and left with determination.
And Tsunade began my medical evaluation.
I wonder how Sasuke will feel if he got to know that he actually killed Naruto?
