Naruto's words were like thunder on the ground, ringing in the ears of Tokiwa and Shizuka.
"Your Highness Naruto, according to the agreement between the two adults, since you defeated Mr. Shizuka and complied with the rules set by our Nadeshiko Female Ninja, naturally you will He is the husband-in-law of Lord Shizuka. You are so..." Tokiwa said anxiously from the side, after just seeing the power of Naruto.
Whether it is for Shizuka or Nadeshiko Ninja Village, Naruto is the best husband for Shizuka!
"Sister Shizuka, I heard about your past from Tokiwa. I don't think you must abide by the agreement made by the ancestors and teacher Jiraiya and be stubborn to implement it., The path is chosen by oneself, and the future must be explored by oneself. The path that others arrange for you is not your best choice after all." Naruto looked at Shizuka and said gently.
"My teacher and brother once told me that everyone has the right to choose his own direction. Correspondingly, he must bear the responsibilities or certain consequences of this choice."
"Sister Shizuka, you were once in pain because of your lover, confused because of the important responsibilities of the village, and angry because of the marriage contract between your ancestors and teacher Jiraiya, right?"
Shizuka Listening to Naruto's words, his cold face became a little looser, but he remained silent. For Shizuka, what Naruto said was also It's just some big principles. Everyone knows the truth, but how many people can do it? After all, people can stand on the moral high ground and blame others, but when something is really put in front of them, few can make the right choice...
From Shizuka's point of view, Naruto is just a young ninja who has a good background and is apprenticed to the famous master Jiraiya. His path as a ninja has been smooth and powerful, but he has never encountered any hardships.
I simply don't understand how Naruto came to these conclusions after personally experiencing these choices.
Looking at Shizuka who was still unmoved, Naruto frowned slightly. For Naruto, Shizuka is just an outsider after all. If it weren't for Jiraiya, Tokiwa's past events, and Naruto's own sense of justice, Naruto wouldn't bother to care about these things...
But looking at Shizuka's eyes that looked like a pool of stagnant water, Naruto seemed to be touched by something in his heart.
Sighing slightly, Naruto bent down, looked at Shizuka's eyes, with a warm smile on his face, and said calmly, "Sister Shizuka, I have also experienced the feeling of not being able to be with the person I like, because that girl likes another person. I have also experienced the pain and regretful feelings of my beloved family leaving me, but I am unable to recover."
When Naruto said this, the appearance of Sakura and Sasuke appeared in his mind. Perhaps it was Naruto's words, or perhaps it was the pain that Naruto felt, which made Shizuka's expression slightly startled. He raised his head and looked at Naruto, who looked a little sad.
If Sakura brought only regret to Naruto, what Sasuke brought to Naruto was regret and heartache that went deep into the bone marrow, a sense of emptiness and loss that comes from losing a family member.
Naruto's mouth had a hint of bitterness, "Sister Shizuka, what is a ninja? I once asked my teacher and brother about this question. Their answers were different, but one thing is the same. Only those who can endure pain that ordinary people cannot endure can be called ninjas. Pain, hatred, regret, these are emotions we don't want to have."
"However, recently I have realized more deeply that not only as a ninja, but also as a human being, I should be able to learn to endure! This is the most critical point."
"I will silently support the girl I like in my heart to pursue her true happiness, and I will also vow to make up for my past regrets and find the family I once had!"
"So, Sister Shizuka, I think your one also hopes that you can live happily, right? The meaning of survival needs to be found by oneself, and the value of living must be created by oneself!"
The gentle smile, warm words, except for the appearance, everything in front of you is like letting Shizuka see his figure, such sunshine, such warmth.
Gradually, Shizuka's eyes seemed to be a little moist, and tears fell from his eyes unsatisfactorily.
"I will protect you! Even if you are a powerful ninja!" A man said to a young girl with determination on his face.
"Perhaps things in the future cannot be determined, but, Shizuka, I hope you can live happily! This is my lifelong wish! It is also the purpose of fighting for it!"
It is a promise, a sacred oath.
"Shizuka, it's not easy for a person to find someone who loves him and loves him. Some people even find someone, but they can't be together for some reasons. I know that you are resisting this agreement. I just hope that you can have more choices. I'm sorry about that. I hope you can live a happier and freer life."
The words of the ancestors immediately lingered in Shizuka's ears. It would be impossible if Shizuka didn't have any resentment against the ancestors. But in an old man who devoted himself to the development of the village and finally said such words to himself, what else could Shizuka do?
Besides, the Naruto in front of me is the figure in my memory.
The two figures gradually overlapped.
"Naruto-kun..." Shizuka's eyes gradually became blurred. Maybe this is a very good choice, isn't it? The same smell, the same reassuring feeling, such warmth and reliability.
"Thank you, thank you, really, Naruto-kun." Shizuka leaned on Naruto's chest, tightly grasped Naruto's chest with both hands, and murmured in a low voice, tears soaking the clothes in front of Naruto's chest.
Shizuka's move caught Naruto a little off guard. His face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, his body became stiff, and he suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.
"Who is it?" At this moment, Naruto's expression changed, and he quickly protected Shizuka behind him, looking solemnly in a certain direction not far away.
"Humph, are you worthy of being Naruto-kun? Three years ago, I thought you were different from ordinary people. After all, you are still Jinchūriki, the son of Nine-Tails, Fourth Hokage. I didn't expect you to grow up so fast."
A gloomy voice sounded, and immediately five figures appeared within the sight of Naruto and the other three. When he heard this voice, Naruto's expression was slightly shocked!
After seeing the appearance of the person clearly, his pupils shrank slightly.
"It turns out to be you, Kabuto Yakushi!'
Under the windbreaker, Kabuto Yakushi's sinister smile is clearly revealed!
