Leave unnecessary thoughts.

Yuu looks at her with a smile.

"I didn't expect that move, I don't know how you did it but it was incredibly clever, I still feel like my chest is burning" she smiled radiantly without any sign of annoyance at that surprise attack.

Tired, I sit next to the surprised Satsuki.

I wrap my right arm around her neck.

She is shocked by this action but she can't do anything to stop it, she is just regaining strength.

With her arm she is easily drawn to him.

Now she has the side of her body resting directly on her chest with some burns.

The scene falls into a calm silence.

"Isn't nature beautiful?"

The slightly chaotic train of thought is interrupted by him.

"Beautiful?" She decides to humor him even though he is in that somewhat embarrassing position for her.

"Yes, look at that landscape, if we ignore the traces of fighting then we will find a peaceful and beautiful place."

Satsuki looks confused at the surroundings, she only sees a lot of trees and plants.

Yuu lifts her wrapped arm and touches Satsuki's head like before.

"Haha, no, silly, I wasn't looking for the beauty of what I'm talking about." Yuu laughs lightly as he reprimands Satsuki.

Her face turns dark with a tinge of shame in it as she feels his intimate action.

"It's not about the environment itself, it's about the relationship that the environment has with the things inside it, look at those flowers for example, how much time do you think has passed for them to look that way?" He points to a flower that was growing in middle of the grass.

"A month and a half depending on the season." She ignores all of Yuu's extra moves and talks as if she doesn't know about them.

"Right, so you know why that flower is beautiful?"

"Because of its color and shape?"

"That's one part, the other reason why it's beautiful is because it's there."

Satsuki listens confused by this last bit.

"Let me explain myself better"

Yuu points in another direction, more specifically at a hawk that was flying through the sky.

"Do you know what the difference is between you and that bird with respect to life?"

"...that I'm human and he's a hawk?"

"Hahaha, certainly but other than that it makes no difference, you see, no matter who it is, human, hawk, mouse, insect, each and every one of them faces problems just like everyone else, it's just that each one does it in different circumstances." and reasons, but even though they are in situations like those, some of them find the so-called happiness of life that comes after fighting with a tough problem, it could be the death of a loved one or the confrontation with a predator"

When Yuu finishes speaking, memories of her begin to flood Satsuki's head.

She unconsciously clenches her fist.

Yuu gently slides his hand out of her grasping her fist.

"There is no need to be this sad, remember that it is what the important people in your life, those who cared about you really wanted for you, you would most likely be happy, not like this"

"But-"

"Shh."

I silence her lips with my other hand.

"No matter the reasons, remember that those who loved you did not have a specific reason for doing so"

Suddenly some good memories flash through her head making her relax her hand.

"A while ago when I was approaching you I saw resilience and sadness in your eyes. Are you still remembering the revenge against your brother?"

"That…" Satsuki clenches her fist again.

I feel how his body trembles upon hearing that he mentioned his brother.

"Calm down, calm down, I told you not to act like that, remember what I told you, I don't think your parents would want you to suffer because of his death"

"But...they were killed...by the..." Satsuki suddenly opens her heart and mentions those last words with a slightly trembling voice.

He stroked his hair.

"Don't worry, I told you not to worry about it, I know it's difficult for you to accept the death of your family but remember what they were like, remember what your mother was like at least, do you think what would happen if your mother saw you like that right now?" "What I would do is run to you to console you, right? That shows how much she wouldn't want to see you that sad, right? Think about how she would be if she found out in the afterlife."

"But..."

"I'm not telling you to forget revenge, I'm just telling you to stop living in pain, you live pleasing your brother, didn't he want you to live in pain? Well, from what I see, he would be happy to see you like this." "

She is surprised to hear these words, according to what Yuu says she would be living as her older brother wants, hating him would only please him more but although she thought this in the past she never found a way out of it, she is always consumed by it. hate, he can't find a way other than to end that person to get out of this torment.

Satsuki lost her strength and relaxes her hand weakly.

"So what should I do, day after day I can't help but remember her face and when I do the hate burns inside me..." She weakly murmurs these words making it harder for anyone else to hear them.

"I already told you, the way out of this is to stop hating and you must do that by remembering who you are, remember your brother? Wasn't he the person you always admired?"

"It was..."

"Well, think of him as a means and not as an objective, you want to get revenge on him because he killed your family right? So what happens after that, what will be the purpose of your life, will you be so disappointed that you will end up ending your life?" life?"

Satsuki is shocked by those words, she had never thought about that, or maybe what happened after her was not important to her.

"I know that your mother would be sad if she found out that her daughter committed suicide because of all this, so I propose that you go for your brother with the aim of recovering your life or at least the one that your loved ones wanted you to live. "Think of this as retribution for your brother, he did things he shouldn't have so you just have to send him back to your parents so they can make him think again."

Satsuki lowers her head in thought.

"Don't think too much about death, you know that in the end it will come to all of us so you shouldn't be sad, in the end you will go with them, you will only send your brother before you"

With those last words she feels that she has a way, remembering her mother, father and the good times she spent with them, she finds meaning in living happily as they wanted, suddenly the hatred inside her leaves, although for a moment short time, he still feels as if his body is freed from chains.

"Hehe, there is no need to think much, now you must be tired, right? Rest, today I will be and support you to do so, remember that you are a full flower in growth, many challenges await you until you bloom with splendor, be stubborn But know your limits, forcing something you shouldn't will only damage its petals and you won't be able to expose the maximum of your beauty."

Then I wrap my arms around her and shelter her in me.

At this point her tiredness has also affected her, and now that she has relaxed she no longer has the strength to stay awake.

She loses consciousness in my arms.

I look at her with a certain happiness, a moment ago when I approached to touch her head I felt for the first time a flash that allowed me to feel some things that she had inside her heart, such as the hatred and sadness that she felt.

It was a flash of inspiration so I couldn't see anymore but this has taught me that I shouldn't force some things, I should thank her for that but I think she would snore in response.

I'm also at my limit so I take out a blanket from my inventory and cover her and me inside it.

I slowly close my eyes, losing consciousness in the cold, dark forest, only feeling Satsuki's warmth.

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

The thought of stopping forcing something on Satsuki was not because Yuu wanted her to give up, he only said it because at that moment it was training and nothing good would come from attacking stubbornly, the best thing for her would be to accept her defeat and go train with more enthusiasm.

This thought conflicts with Naruto's thought of never giving up no matter what.

In general, both thoughts are valid, it's just that the people who have them are different, so don't think too much about these reflections, let the current of destiny choose.
