Looking closely, he saw a huge lion standing in front of Uchiha Sasuke.

From the outside, the lion's body is only black and white.

Its appearance seems so out of tune with everything in this world.

Specifically, it is too rough and simple.

It seemed as if this lion was not a creature from this world, but was painted with an ink brush.

At this moment, a low roar continued to come from the mouth of the ink-and-wash lion in front.

The one who had just called him was none other than Sai, who was now leaning over the lion's back and sitting steadily.

"About the Chunin Exam.

"I still have many things I want to ask you."

On the back of the ink-painted lion, Sai's face was pale, his hands tightly grasping the lion's mane, with a fake smile on his face.

Is this coming?

On this side, Uchiha Sasuke's heart moved.

He knew very well that if the other party caught up with him, it would not be as simple as just saying hello.

I was just wondering when the other party would reveal his purpose.

But I never thought it would come so quickly and so directly.

"Tell me."

Uchiha Sasuke asked coldly.

"Earlier, you performed brilliantly in the Chunin Exams."

Here, I heard Sai slowly say:

"Among them, the release of 'Fire Style: Flame Armor' surprised everyone."

When Uchiha Sasuke heard the other party specifically mention this ninjutsu, his heart skipped a beat.

Once, due to the use of this ninjutsu, the experience and memory of being interrogated by the Anbu instantly flooded into his mind.

"What do you want to say?"

Uchiha Sasuke's expression became extremely cold.

I just saw him looking at Sai coldly, and I roughly guessed what he wanted to say.

“Later, we asked Sarutobi Asuma, and he told us.

"He has never heard of this jutsu."

On this side, it seemed as if they hadn't noticed Sasuke's attitude at all.

I saw Sai's smile did not diminish, still maintaining that fake smile.

Eyes narrowed.

Those emotionless eyes looked through the slits, closely observing every expression on Uchiha Sasuke's face.

"Oh?"

Hearing Asuma's name, Uchiha Sasuke finally determined what the other party was entangled with.

Uchiha Sasuke smiled calmly and asked:

"Are you investigating me?"

Regarding "Fire Style: Flame Armor", and the relationship with Asuma Sarutobi.

Logically speaking, only the ninja who had close contact with the case would know.

Therefore, to outsiders it sounded like Sai was just chatting.

But Uchiha Sasuke, who had experienced all of that, knew clearly that the guy in front of him had indeed done a lot of "homework".

So much time has passed, and I see that Danzo Shimura is still obsessed with that matter.

Uchiha Sasuke felt both disgusted and a little ridiculous.

"I told you that I'm very interested in you."

On the lion's back, Sai smiled and repeated his previous words again.

However, Sai did not give a direct answer to Uchiha Sasuke's question.

"snort.

"I'm waiting for your investigation report."

Uchiha Sasuke sneered, walked straight past the ferocious-looking, huge lion, and walked forward on his own.

Sai was left alone sitting on the lion's back, looking at Sasuke's back from afar.

At this moment, Sai's expression once again turned cold, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

-

October 13th, the sixty-fifth year of Konoha.

After the funeral, Sai was knocked to the ground by Uzumaki Naruto with a punch, and the scar on his cheek has not yet faded.

I saw him sitting on the ground with his hands on the ground, looking embarrassed.

In front, Uchiha Sasuke was still the same as when they first met.

The look he gave himself was full of coldness and indifference, as if he was looking at a lifeless vessel.

After a moment, Uchiha Sasuke still didn't say a word to him, and turned around and left here again, walking towards the Hokage's house.

Behind him, Sai slowly climbed up and a drop of water fell on his body.

He raised his head and saw that the dark cloud above his head, finally unable to bear the gloomy moisture that had accumulated for a long time, began to drip stars slowly.

"Well, it's raining."

Sai stretched out a hand and felt the rain falling on his palm.

In front of him was the back of Uchiha Sasuke, who had already walked a long way and was gradually becoming blurred.

"what are you doing?"

Konoha, the home of the Hokage.

As soon as he entered the door, Uchiha Sasuke saw Uzumaki Naruto packing his bags.

Bags of various sizes were scattered randomly on the coffee table and the floor.

At the same time, Uzumaki Naruto was still going in and out of his room, and he was very busy.

"The lecherous immortal is dead. We can no longer stay here."

Seeing Sasuke coming back, Uzumaki Naruto still did not stop his actions.

I saw him answering questions while he was busy.

The voice also sounded much hoarser than before.

"Yes

"Is someone chasing you away?"

Uchiha Sasuke showed a puzzled look, trying to guess what had happened.

On this side, Uzumaki Naruto just shook his head vigorously.

At this moment, he was kneeling on one knee, trying to press the messy bedding into a small suitcase.

"No matter what, there's no need to rush to clean up today.

"It's still raining outside."

Seeing the other party shaking his head, Uchiha Sasuke could no longer guess why.

He just advised calmly.

An indescribable feeling of fatigue slowly rose up from the bottom of Sasuke's heart.

"But I just don't want to stay here anymore!!"

Uzumaki Naruto suddenly roared.

Naruto's reaction to Uchiha Sasuke's understatement was unusually huge.

He jumped up and kicked the suitcase under him hard.

Afterwards, the bedding that had been half stuffed in with great difficulty rolled out again and scattered all over the living room.

Uchiha Sasuke stared at the other person in a daze, not knowing what was wrong with him.

I saw Naruto Uzumaki with red eyes and gasping for breath.

"sorry.

"This quilt can't be stuffed in no matter what."

On this side, Uzumaki Naruto, knowing that he shouldn't lose his temper, lowered his head again.

I saw him picking up the luggage that he had scattered again and repacking it one by one.

While tidying up, he whispered:

"I know that you might be the successor to the Sixth Hokage.

“That way, we, we can still continue to live in this place.

"But,

"But."

Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but stop his movements.

He lowered his head to pack his bag, but he couldn't help wiping his eyes with the back of his hand and said in a trembling voice:

“But the lecherous immortal is dead.

"This is no longer home."

Seeing Naruto like this, Uchiha Sasuke couldn't bear it.

He took half a step forward, but then stopped again, forcing himself to do so.

Uchiha Sasuke's mouth trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not open his mouth.

"You know what. As soon as I came back and walked in the door.

“This house smells like a lecherous fairy.

“It was like he could pop up from nowhere at any moment.

“It really took my breath away.

"I can't stand it, I can't stand it anymore!"

In the middle of the living room, Uzumaki Naruto was squatting there, holding back tears, his whole body trembling.

Uchiha Sasuke raised his hand, but in the end he said nothing.

On this side, Uzumaki Naruto, who did not notice Sasuke's actions, took a deep breath again.

Then he stood up again and walked towards his bedroom.

Uchiha Sasuke hurriedly followed, walked to the door and looked inside.

All I saw was that Naruto's originally cozy little bedroom had been almost completely emptied.

The four walls and the empty bed and floor had never been as obvious and glaring as they were now.

On this side, Uzumaki Naruto took out two storage scrolls from the package on the ground.

Then he went back to the living room again and piled all the luggage in one place.

He unfolded the two scrolls, formed seals with his hands, and in an instant, all the luggage was stored away.

"I'm leaving."

After doing all this, Uzumaki Naruto finally calmed down a little.

He just walked up to Sasuke and spoke calmly.

"Where to go?"

Uchiha Sasuke asked.

The empty room and the luggage scattered all over the floor all indicate this fact.

But when he heard that Naruto was really leaving, Uchiha Sasuke still wanted to ask a question.

“Myoboku Mountain.

"Regarding the practice of immortal arts, I have not yet completely learned it."

Uzumaki Naruto replied.

After a pause, Naruto smiled sadly again:

“Come to think of it, the Lecherous Immortal once promised us.

"He said that after this period of work is over, he will take us to visit the big toad immortal."

"."

Uchiha Sasuke remained silent.

Originally, he just thought that Naruto wanted to leave the Hokage's house, or perhaps, planned to return to his original residence.

But I never thought that Naruto actually wanted to leave Konohagakure Village directly.

Although the destination of Myoboku Mountain was unexpected.

But if you think about it carefully, it does make sense.

Here, Uzumaki Naruto was seen fully dressed and had his shoelaces tied.

At this moment, he was facing the mirror at the entrance, solemnly tying the Konoha forehead protector on his forehead.

Doing the final dressing.

"that."

In front of the mirror, Uzumaki Naruto dressed properly, and his whole spirit seemed much better.

I saw him wiping his face, as if he remembered something.

He turned around again, smiled and said to Uchiha Sasuke:

"If you really succeed in becoming the Sixth Hokage.

"Well, remember to notify the contact frog to come back and tell me."

After a pause, Uzumaki Naruto said with a silly smile:

“Although, although I am very unconvinced.

"But I still want to come back to celebrate for you."

Naruto said these last few words with particular sincerity.

Hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but be stunned.

Looking at Uzumaki Naruto's eyes that were still a little red and swollen, I felt an indescribable mixture of emotions in my heart.

After a while, Uchiha Sasuke just nodded silently without saying anything extra.

“Then, see you later.

"Sasuke."

On this side, Uzumaki Naruto nodded at Sasuke, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he turned and left, walking towards his bedroom again.

"Psychic art!"

Uchiha Sasuke was sitting in the living room, listening to bursts of voices coming from the direction of the bedroom.

First, there was a loud shout from Uzumaki Naruto, and then the voice of Gamakichi was faintly heard from inside the house.

The sounds in the house were not very clear. I only heard Toadji agree to something and then leave.

Then, after a while, Uzumaki Naruto's presence finally disappeared completely in the house.

Uchiha Sasuke walked forward and saw that Uzumaki Naruto's bedroom had become empty, and there was no longer the scent of that idiot's life.

The originally bustling Hokage's house.

At this time, Uchiha Sasuke was once again the only one left.

Here, Uchiha Sasuke walked to the living room bar and poured himself a glass of ice water.

Outside the window, it is drizzling.

The rain gently hit the window frame, making a small and continuous sound.

Uchiha Sasuke held a glass filled with ice water in his hand. The cool touch passed through the thin glass wall, through the gap between the air and his fingertips, and quietly transmitted to him.

Forcing Sasuke to keep his mind clear.

I saw him slowly walk to the sofa and sit down.

As the ice water enters the throat, the coolness quickly spreads throughout the body, bringing waves of subtle yet intense stimulation.

Uchiha Sasuke put the cup back on the coffee table, lay back and stared blankly at the pattern on the ceiling.

The sound of rain outside the window seemed to become clearer.

It's okay to leave.

Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble this No. 1 unexpected guy will stir up in the ensuing chaos.

Uchiha Sasuke thought silently.

("Do you think we might be going too far for them?")

In my mind, Jiraiya's guilty voice slowly sounded.

When he heard Jiraiya's voice, Uchiha Sasuke did not have any unexpected reaction.

He just sighed, and then took out the [Psychic Puppet] from his arms.

I saw that the overall color of the puppet doll had changed from gray to dark red.

With his mouth raised upwards, he looks confident, uninhibited and unrestrained.

The originally lifeless black eyes now became dignified.

He has a fearless heroic spirit.

On this side, Uchiha Sasuke stared at the puppet doll for a long time, then put the doll back into his arms.

He murmured in a low voice:

“But this arrangement is the best, isn’t it?

"Master Toad."

In his mind, Jiraiya wanted to say something else.

But suddenly, the house, which was as quiet as an ancient tomb, was once again echoed with a low knock on the door.

-

"I object!"

September 28th, the sixty-fifth year of Konoha.

In the Hokage's house, in the study.

Uchiha Sasuke said loudly with a firm attitude.

On the other side, Jiraiya frowned and was also unwilling to give in.
