Naruto Flower Stem

Chapter 18

As soon as I came to the lobby of Konoha Hospital, I saw Naruto lying there arguing with the nurse.

"Ah, which room is Sasuke's ward?"

"Sasuke is now forbidden to visit."

"Ah! Hey! Why is that!"

"It's useless if you ask me..." the nurse said helplessly.

"Sister, why on earth?" Naruto was still reluctant.

I hid aside and secretly watched Naruto's ridiculous appearance. I really felt sorry for the nurse who was desperately trying to explain.But I didn't intend to go there, although I came to the hospital to see Sasuke.

At this moment Kakashi stepped out from behind and stopped Naruto. "Naruto, the hospital needs quiet."

The implication is to let him stop arguing.

"It's Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto turned his head and saw Kakashi, and immediately ran over, asking Kakashi to help him practice.

It must be for the third exam in a month, so try to improve your strength.Naruto, you really worked hard.I leaned against the wall, looking at the two harmonious figures of their master and apprentice, I couldn't even notice the smile on the corner of my mouth.

Since when did I smile inadvertently when I saw them?

After much deliberation, it is better not to disturb them.After making sure they didn't spot me, I disappeared down the hospital corridor in a flash.

Naruto, I look forward to the day when you become stronger.

When passing by a ward, I stopped in my tracks.The door was ajar, and through the gap, one could see that the person inside was half lying on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Really, this guy, what are you depressed about?

I pushed open the door, "Xiao Li."

"Ah, it's Miss Huageng." The boy on the bed saw me and sat up in astonishment, perhaps because his movements were a little too big, tearing the injured muscles and bones, and he grinned in pain.

"Don't move, the injury hasn't healed yet."

"It's okay, I'm not seriously injured, and I can continue training in a few days!" In order to show that his injury was not serious, Xiao Li sat up and shook his fist at me.But when I saw the cold sweat gradually emerging from his forehead, I knew he was doing it with pain.

"Don't force yourself, Li, your injury won't heal so quickly." My expression became serious.Walk in with steps.

Seeing my sudden seriousness, Xiao Li no longer pretended to smile.He silently put away his fists and walked back to the hospital bed.I can't see his expression clearly, but I know that he must be very depressed at the moment.

After working so hard for so long, I still failed to pass the Chunin exam.And he was saved by me and forcibly withdrew from the game.Now he was seriously injured and unable to practice. This must be a great blow to him.

"Miss Huajing, why, why did you stop me." He finally asked what he hadn't finished talking yesterday in the arena.

"Because I can't just watch you get killed." I went to the window and gently fiddled with a few pale yellow daisies in the vase. "We fought side by side, didn't we? In the forest of death."

"But……"

"Needless to say, I know you must not be reconciled, but didn't your teacher say that admitting defeat does not mean failure. The days to come are still long, and you can continue to become stronger. I believe that with your perseverance, You will definitely become a very good ninja, you and Naruto, you are all the same."

Xiao Li listened to my words, as if lost in thought.

It's really unexpected that Xiao Li, who usually doesn't seem very serious and so warm-blooded, has a contemplative side.I walked up and down the ward with great interest, thinking that it was time to see Sasuke. I didn't expect to meet Xiao Li at first, but seeing his depressed appearance, since I was a companion, I couldn't help but want to come in and enlighten him enlighten him.

I don't know if it's useful or not.

Finally, just when I thought I had spent a long time talking, he still didn't listen to a word and was about to give up.Xiao Li raised his head again, and then I saw a raging flame rekindled in his two round eyes...

"Okay! I will not let Teacher Kai and Miss Huajing down! I must become stronger, stronger and stronger! In the future, I will add 1000 push-ups and 1000 squats to my daily training!" Xiao Li raised his fist and looked up. The sun outside the window.

I'm speechless.

No matter how hard you try, it doesn't have to be like this...

Nah.But seeing his helpless look made me feel relieved.

I wandered back and forth in the hospital several times before finally finding Sasuke's ward.The door of the ward was closed tightly. It seemed that the nurse was right, he was really forbidden to visit.

But how can this trap me?

After thinking about it, I ran out of the hospital, found the window of Sasuke's ward, and jumped inside.

I sat on the window sill, in the white ward, with white sheets and bedding, Sasuke was lying there quietly and fast asleep.

His even breathing echoed in the quiet room.

I tried my best not to make a sound, just sat quietly on the window sill and watched him.He was really tired, sleeping so deeply, the shadow cast by the long eyelashes covered his face, setting off his delicate and handsome appearance.

"Are you really alright...that curse seal...and Orochimaru..." I murmured softly.Only you can hear the sound clearly.

I always feel that it's all a conspiracy, and it's all connected.But the memory is abruptly disconnected here, and I can't remember anything about the future.

It is useless at critical moments, which probably refers to my head.

The second match of the third exam was Gaara vs. Sasuke.

Only one month, Sasuke, can you become strong enough to defeat Gaara?When you are fighting, I can't imagine who should cheer and support.

Gaara is my partner, and now, so are you.

To me, Konoha, you are not just the friendship between ninjas, but also the friendship that cannot be let go.

One month, only one month.At that time, we might become enemies and meet each other in battle.

This feeling of guilt tormented me all day long and made me feel extremely painful.If I didn't know you before, it would be fine if I didn't associate with you, then we are still just strangers, even if we become enemies and want to fight, I will never hesitate or show mercy.

It's just that now, no matter how regretful it is, it won't help.

I took one last look at Sasuke, felt relieved, turned around and jumped out of the window to leave Konoha Hospital.

It's just that I didn't see it. After I just jumped out of the window, the teenager who was lying on the hospital bed and fell asleep slowly opened his eyes, looked at the direction I was leaving with blurred eyes, and sighed.
