"What did you say?!"
"How is that possible? Sasuke, how could you do something like that? You're my best brother!"
Naruto Uzumaki's face went stiff. Bit by bit, he turned his head, looking at Hatake Kakashi, then at Second Pillar, who had his head lowered.
He had never dreamed something like this would happen.
"Naruto, didn't you just say you could forgive me for anything?"
Second Pillar voiced his doubt.
"I can accept anything, but this is the one thing I can't accept, Sasuke!"
Naruto Uzumaki looked pained.
The moment he thought of his wife being seen naked by someone else, his mouth felt as awful as if he had eaten shit.
Naruto Uzumaki was furious. "Sasuke, how could you do something like that!"
"Naruto, you clearly said just now that you would forgive me for everything."
Second Pillar wore that fair face of his, looking wounded. Even his usually cold eyes now held countless emotions.
The eyes of the Uchiha Clan could speak.
Naruto Uzumaki froze on the spot, unable to speak yet unable to stay silent, and a trace of reluctance actually rose in his heart.
"I understand, Sasuke. Let's pretend this never happened. From now on, don't bring it up again, and I... won't bring it up either."
Second Pillar nodded heavily.
Their gazes met.
"Naruto."
"Sasuke..."
Hatake Kakashi: "...What the hell are you two doing here?! You two are best friends, not lovers!"
Damn it.
If you two are going to talk, then talk. What the hell is with you getting closer and closer!
"Oh, right, Naruto. About the battle between you and Hinata—Kakashi-sensei was the one who showed it to me."
Second Pillar suddenly spoke.
As for why he had not said so when Naruto questioned him just now, what he wanted was unquestioning trust.
