[Hokage] Sasuke-kun's Melancholy

Orochimaru seemed to have obtained a new experimental subject. After training, Sasuke couldn't help frowning when he heard the whispered discussions hidden in every corner.

This experimental subject was also locked in a nutrition tank just like Hitomi at first, but no one had seen him. According to those who saw the nutrition tank brought in, there was only liquid in that tank.

When Orochimaru was taking the scroll, Orochimaru looked at Hitomi who was following Sasuke wagging his tail, and laughed hoarsely: "It seems that you are already very proficient at controlling her pseudo-beast state."

"Almost." Sasuke opened a scroll with a blank expression, glanced at it roughly, and then included it in the scope of being taken away by him.

Orochimaru pursed his lips in silence for a while, then said again: "Recently, I got a new experimental product, you should have heard of it."

"En." Sasuke didn't seem to have any interest in that experimental product, he just responded perfunctorily, having one Hitomi by his side was enough to worry him, if another Hitomi came along, his revenge plan would be impossible to realize.

Observing Sasuke's unchanged face, Orochimaru laughed hoarsely: "Are you not interested? That's right, after all, you have already got Hitomi."

Hitomi raised her head curiously and looked at Orochimaru: "Get me?"

"Never mind, it has nothing to do with you," Sasuke patted her head with one hand, his fingers slid over the soft ears, and then pressed the back of her head and pushed the door out, "Let's go."

Hitomi nodded and followed Sasuke's footsteps. Before leaving, she looked back at Orochimaru who was sitting on the bed watching them, raised her hand and waved: "Goodbye, Uncle Snake."

Orochimaru nodded slightly, and after Hitomi's figure disappeared into the darkness, the smile on his face quickly cooled down: "Time flies too slowly... I really hope to get it soon, Sasuke's body. "

On the way back to Sasuke's room, Hitomi glanced frequently at the room where the nutrition jar was placed, but she dared not say that she was a little curious and wanted to see something, after all Sasuke just showed that he was not interested.

Seeing that he was about to pass by, Sasuke suddenly stopped and looked at her: "Very interested?"

"...Uh," Hitomi's eyes faltered for a while, and he replied in a low voice, "One, a little bit..."

Taking a peek at Sasuke's expressionless face, Hitomi felt a little uneasy again. He shouldn't be angry. After all, Sasuke seems to be very angry with her...

"It's okay if you don't go..." After a moment of silence, Hitomi added weakly.

"..." Sasuke turned and walked towards the room where the nutrition jars were placed, "Let's go."

Hitomi's dejected face suddenly became brighter, and he trotted to keep up with Sasuke's pace.

This room is not the one where Hitomi was once closed. Compared with the empty room where Hitomi was in before, it is obviously a bit crowded. Both sides are filled with nutrition tanks, some of which are soaked with strange creatures, while others are empty. Nothing, bubbles gurgling from the bottom.

And the one placed in the middle is the newly transported one that the experimental subjects discussed before, but it is just like what they said, there is only transparent liquid inside, and no living things exist.

"Ah... there's no one here." Hitomi looked up at the empty nutrition jar, feeling a little disappointed.

"...No," Sasuke narrowed his eyes, "There's something inside."

That's right, there was something hidden in the water, and he could feel the breath of Chakra coming from it.

Hearing this sentence, the liquid in the water began to stir, and the ripples spread round and round, and a somewhat empty voice came from inside: "Uchiha?"

Sasuke frowned, and subconsciously placed his hand on the Kusanagi sword behind him: "Who are you?"

The voice was a little frivolous and laughed: "I am Suigetsu, Suigetsu Suiyuki, but I am more curious than this, how can there be people from Uchiha's clan here."

"...It has nothing to do with you." Sasuke responded coldly.

"It's so cold~" The voice became playful, and the water also surged, and a silhouette of a human appeared in the water, "Hey, what's your name?"

Sasuke was silent for a while, put his hand off the Kusanagi sword and replied: "Uchiha Sasuke."

"Sasuke~" Shuiyue laughed, and the outline gradually became clear, and the upper body of a man with short silver hair appeared in the nutrition jar, "Then we know each other, please teach me, Sasuke."

He held out his hand to Sasuke for a handshake, a friendly smile on his face, completely oblivious to the glass barrier that separated them.

Sasuke didn't move, but Hitomi curiously stretched out his hand to cover the glass, and then patted it lightly. A crack appeared on the glass jar instantly, and tiny water jets squeezed out from these cracks, rushing towards the glass jar. Outflow.

Sasuke: "..."

Shuiyue's eyes widened in surprise: "Oshewan's specially made reinforced shell, you are so easy..."

He wanted to say that it cracked after just one slap, did Orochimaru accidentally mix in low-quality products, or was this stupid-looking little girl too scary?

"Ah," Hitomi immediately withdrew her hand like a child who did something wrong, then looked at Sasuke behind her back and said deceivingly, "I didn't do it, it split itself."

If Suigetsu, who saw Hitomi for the first time, could still believe her, then Sasuke, whose face turned black, couldn't believe her at all. He looked at the cracked and leaking nutrition tank with some headaches, and suddenly began to hesitate. It's better to tell Orochimaru about it.

Not long ago, he told Orochimaru that he was not interested, and turned around and destroyed the nutrition tank of this experimental subject.

"...Anyway, can you block it for me first?" Shuiyue smiled awkwardly, "I don't like to expose my body in front of girls."

"..." Sasuke silently took out the bandage tape from the ninja bag to fill up the crack, then took a step back and looked at the dilapidated nutrition jar, "...I will tell Orochimaru about this something."

"...Ah, thank you so much." Shuiyue's voice was a bit gritted, but full of deep helplessness, as if he felt the malice from this world.

Turning his gaze to the little girl whom he ignored at first, Shuiyue tried to make himself smile very kindly: "Hey, little sister, what's your name?"

"Hitomi..." Hitomi took a step back unconsciously, hid behind Sasuke, then poked her head out cautiously, followed by a flick of her tail.

"Huh? Tail..." Shuiyue was stunned for a moment, then looked at the top of her head in doubt, "Could it be that these cat ears are not decorations, but real?"

Hitomi touched the top of her head following his gaze: "Cat ears?"

Sasuke couldn't help frowning, and moved a step to the side, blocking Suigetsu's curious sight, but Suigetsu looked behind Sasuke relentlessly, covering the inner wall of the glass with both hands: "Sure enough, you are also Orochimaru's Experimental product? That guy injected you with something."

Hitomi blinked and asked curiously, "Experimental product?"

"She's not," Sasuke retorted immediately, then pulled Hitomi's wrist and walked out, "We should go."

After walking a few steps, Sasuke stopped again, turned his back to Suigetsu and said, "I will tell Orochimaru about the pot."

After finishing speaking, he left without looking back, but Hitomi looked back at him several times curiously, and after the two disappeared from Shuiyue's sight, he couldn't help snorting: "That guy Dashemaru, how could you Even such a small child will not be spared."

The room fell into silence again. The water moon that originally had a body began to melt gradually, and then merged with the water, and finally only a transparent liquid was left, as if there was nothing in it.

Back in Sasuke's room, watching him neatly arrange the scrolls and books he brought from Orochimaru, Hitomi couldn't help but ask, "Well, what is the experimental subject?"

Sasuke's hand stopped, and he looked at her calmly: "Why do you ask this?"

"Because Hitomi seems to hear this word often," she said, scratching her head with a distressed expression, "but Hitomi doesn't understand the meaning of this word, and Sasuke never explained it to me."

Speaking of this, Sasuke frowned slightly and looked at her: "You have learned to lie."

Whether it was her hiding her thoughts just now, or trying to avoid her fault subconsciously.

"Uh," Hitomi suddenly panicked and urgently explained, "Hitomi didn't do it on purpose... Well, does Sasuke not like Hitomi like this? Then I will never do this again..."

"...No." After Sasuke denied it in a low voice, he fell silent. He didn't want to say that it was because such pupils were becoming more and more human, like a normal child.

The original Hitomi was like an animal. Although she looked human in appearance, she didn't feel this at all when getting along with her.Although the current Hitomi will subconsciously get close to him and obey his orders, but she gradually begins to have her own ideas and also begins to produce her own "will", which shows that Hitomi has learned to think for herself instead of blindly thinking. attached to him.

Even so, her essence is still not human, whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for her, Sasuke himself does not know.

Because Sasuke ignored her, but picked up a book and read it intently, Hitomi touched her nose nonchalantly, completely forgot the question she originally wanted to ask, obediently found a place to sit down, Quietly wait for Sasuke to finish reading the book.

At this time, she will be very conscious of not making a sound, so as not to disturb Sasuke's study.

"If you feel bored, go out and play." Sasuke glanced at Hitomi who was sitting motionless on the chair, but his eyes were darting around. "You don't need to stay by my side all the time."

After finishing speaking, Sasuke lowered his eyes slightly, and suddenly remembered in his mind that when they first met, Hitomi knelt and sat motionless waiting for him to read the result and completely froze. She was indeed quite different from when they first met.
