[Hokage] Sasuke-kun's Melancholy

"...Huh?" To Sasuke's suggestion to let her go out to play, Hitomi was startled, then shook her head decisively, "No, Hitomi just needs to stay by Sasuke's side."

"...Is that so?" Sasuke returned his attention to the book in his hand, "It's up to you."

The night fell completely, and Sasuke quietly turned another page, while Hitomi was swinging her legs in the air, until Sasuke closed the book, her eyes lit up instantly.

"Go to sleep." Sasuke picked up Hitomi who was trying to get on his bed, and threw it on her own floor, "Go to sleep on your own bed."

Hitomi puffed up her cheeks a little aggrieved, but she still got into her own bed obediently, but Sasuke also knew that this was an illusion, no matter how obedient she was at the moment, she would definitely climb into his bed in the middle of the night.

"Hitomi, I've said it many times, men and women are different, you should have this awareness." Sasuke tried to make his expression and tone a little harsher, just like his father Fugaku used to treat him.

"You did very well. 』

"As expected of my son. 』

Suddenly, he recalled what his father had said, and the tragedy of the night of extermination appeared before his eyes again. Sasuke's eyes darkened, his hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and his tone suddenly became cold: " ...don't do anything that bothers me."

Probably because Sasuke's complexion was really bad at the moment, Hitomi didn't answer him quickly as usual, but got up from the bed again, then slowly approached Sasuke, stretched out his hands and covered his face.

"Sasuke, are you in pain?"

Hitomi's voice was very soft, different from the usual noisy and energetic voice, unexpectedly filled with a sense of stability, Sasuke was stunned, and his originally chaotic thoughts gradually fell silent as if he had been comforted.

"...Nothing," Sasuke stood up and left her hand touching his cheek, "Just remember what I said."

After finishing speaking, Sasuke turned around and emphasized again as if to be sure: "Do you remember?"

Hitomi's line of sight drifted slightly, and then quickly replied: "Hitomi remembers it very clearly."

"..." Sasuke glanced at her suspiciously, didn't say anything else, and lay down on his bed as usual, then fell asleep with his back to Hitomi.

The room was dark and silent, Hitomi opened her eyes in the darkness, her golden pupils were shining brightly, she stared at Sasuke's back for a long time, until she was sure that Sasuke's breathing had gradually calmed down, Hitomi quietly lifted the quilt, tiptoeing Step by step, Hitomi moved towards that side step by step, every time he carefully took a step, Hitomi would observe Sasuke's reaction, and when he was sure that he had no tendency to wake up, he continued to take the next step.

Successfully arrived at Sasuke's bedside, Hitomi showed a triumphant smile, climbed onto his bed with both hands and feet, and was about to lean on him to sleep as usual, when Sasuke turned around suddenly, his dark eyes were so cold He met her gaze, his expression was clear, not at all like he just woke up.

Tong immediately froze there, neither moving nor moving, pulling the corners of his mouth, Tong lowered his head and whispered: "...I was wrong..."

"Sure enough, you didn't remember." Sasuke's tone sounded more like resignation than what should have been a reproach.

"I...I remember," Hitomi pursed her mouth, wringing her fingers timidly, "But Sasuke is different from others..."

"..." Sasuke sighed softly, "Forget it, go to sleep."

"Eh?" Hitomi watched in surprise as Sasuke moved a little to the side, making a small space for her, "Is Sasuke not mad at me?"

"Because you are too troublesome," Sasuke turned his back to her again, "It's fine to sleep here, don't touch me, don't kick the quilt, don't..."

The words stopped abruptly, and Sasuke was silent for a few seconds, as if he couldn't think of something suitable, "Anyway, don't disturb my sleep."

Hitomi nodded vigorously: "Yes! I will be very quiet and very quiet! Make sure Sasuke won't feel my presence!"

... No, this guarantee is still waived.

Feeling a small animal lying down gently behind him, it was indeed separated from him as he said, Sasuke yawned a little sleepily, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

After staying in Orochimaru's base for about half a year, Orochimaru suddenly told Sasuke that he could go out, of course, with conditions.

Orochimaru needs him to bring someone back.

Rather than taking it, it should be more about arresting it. Since it is arresting, armed conflict must not be avoided. Orochimaru handed Sasuke a piece of paper, which is the arrest warrant for this person.

Shiga Ryusuke, Konoha Village's A-level traitor, with a reward of 200 million.

Sasuke glanced roughly at the above content, raised his head and asked, "Konoha's rebellious ninja?"

"That's right," Orochimaru laughed hoarsely, "This guy once cooperated with me, and then took the opportunity to steal my precious experimental materials and escaped, and then disappeared."

Looking at Sasuke's slightly frowned eyebrows, Orochimaru's eyes were filled with killing intent: "But not long ago, I learned that he appeared on the Konoha border adjacent to Tanokuni."

"Just bring him back, right?" Sasuke folded the arrest warrant in his hand and put it away, "Anything else you want?"

"He must be brought back alive, I still have something to ask him," Dashemaru narrowed his narrow eyes, "Also, take Suigetsu with me."

Sasuke's movements paused, and he suddenly remembered the ghost lamp Suigetsu soaked in the jar that was accidentally broken by Hitomi a long time ago. Since that accident, he never stepped into the jar with nutrition Of course, I have never seen the man who can merge with water again.

"Suigetsu...?" Sasuke murmured to himself in a low voice, "I see, let's go in the afternoon."

After finishing speaking, Sasuke turned around and was about to leave, but Orochimaru suddenly stopped him: "How is Hitomi now? She doesn't seem to be as sticky to you as before."

"You mean she hasn't followed me recently?" Sasuke quietly opened the door of Orochimaru's room, "Because I'm teaching her to read."

"..." Orochimaru's eyes twitched, "Learn to read?"

He actually asked a humanoid weapon to learn to read?What a waste of money!Orochimaru's face darkened more than half, and he stared at Sasuke with hatred.

"Is there something wrong?" Sasuke gave him a puzzled look, "She doesn't understand a word, even the note I left."

So in order to understand the note he wrote, let a beast that can shake the ninja world every minute to read it?Orochimaru twitched the corner of his mouth, and heheed in his heart: "...No, you are doing the right thing, revitalizing the country through science and education."

"Your expression doesn't seem to mean that." Sasuke squinted at him, and replied lightly, ignoring Orochimaru's instantly black face, took the door and walked out.

Orochimaru gritted his teeth viciously on the bed, has that guy Sasuke become more and more presumptuous recently?He didn't even pay attention to him.

After being silent for a while, he smiled sinisterly by himself again, it doesn't matter, he can do whatever he likes, anyway, after waiting for more than two years, he will be able to occupy Sasuke's body and get his writing. Wheel eyes.

At that time, no matter how arrogant Ren Uchiha Sasuke is, he will still be in his pocket.

Sasuke pushed open the door of his room silently, and at a glance he saw a certain beast lying in front of the table reading a book with a bitter face. In the past six months, his body had begun to grow taller, while Hitomi's body seemed to have no body at all. The growth is still the same as he knew half a year ago.

"Ah, Sasuke!" The moment Hitomi saw him, his eyes lit up, and he ran to his side and brought the book in his hand to his face, "Hitomi doesn't know this word."

Sasuke lowered his eyes and glanced, and replied in a low voice: "This is Sakura, say Sakura."

"What is Sakura?" Hitomi asked curiously.

Sasuke was stunned, and suddenly remembered that when he was still in Konoha, the girl named Sakura who was in the seventh class with him, when he left Konoha in the middle of the night, Sakura's strong stop once made him have Momentary hesitation, but it was just a moment. If he continued to stay beside those people who did not seek to make progress, he would never be able to defeat that person with his strength... Uchiha Itachi.

"Sasuke?" Hitomi looked up at Sasuke in a daze, and tilted his head in confusion.

"Ah," Sasuke came back to his senses, and walked past her with no expression on his face, "Sakura is a flower that blooms in spring."

"Spring, flowers," Hitomi repeated, with a little confusion in her big eyes, "These Hitomi don't know."

Sasuke was stunned, and then realized that Hitomi grew up here. The base of Orochimaru is a place without spring and without flowers. Apart from the damp and dark corridors, there is a cold killing intent hidden in the dark. The people are on guard against each other and hostile, but on the surface they pretend to be peacefully co-existing.

He didn't know how many times he was provoked by some unconvinced experimental subjects, and he didn't know how many times he avoided attacks from all corners.

Thinking of this, Sasuke's tone softened: "You can go out soon, you can go see the outside world."

"outside world?"

"Well, outside." Sasuke's gaze became a little misty, and then he closed his eyes and looked away, "It's just that spring has passed, and the cherry blossoms have also withered."

Hitomi didn't seem to understand Sasuke's last words, and her expression became expectant: "Will there be monsters?"

"...a monster?"

Hitomi took out another book and held it in front of him, with a few large characters clearly written on it - "Ultraman beats little monsters".

"Hitomi also wants to fight monsters!" Putting on a few handsome fighting poses, Hitomi proudly looked at Sasuke with a black face with his hands on his hips.

... Who gave this book to her!

Speaking of which, Hitomi, you are the monster yourself!
