[Hokage] Sasuke-kun's Melancholy

Suigetsu went to the tavern to inquire about the news, but Sasuke took Hitomi to a dessert shop with a dark face, and ordered a small cake for her.

Hitomi, who had never eaten dessert, seemed to like this sweet and greasy taste very much. The smile on his face was about to overflow. Sasuke glanced at her expressionlessly, and then turned his gaze out of the window.

"Won't Sasuke eat it?" Hitomi pushed the plate with the small cakes towards him, and was pushed back by Sasuke, his brows frowned slightly: "I hate sweets."

"Why?" Hitomi took one bite and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing slowly with puffed cheeks, Sasuke looked at her hamster-like face in silence, and then lowered his eyes: "There is no reason, hate is hate."

Hitomi tried her best to swallow the cake in her mouth, and asked curiously, "Does Sasuke like anything?"

Sasuke propped his chin and watched her stuff another piece of cake into her mouth, and repeated in a low voice: "Do you like something..."

Hitomi blinked, waiting for Sasuke's answer, but after Sasuke pondered for a while, he said two words lightly: "No."

"No, no..." Hitomi was a little disappointed, and then cheered up again, "It's okay, Hitomi likes Sasuke the most!"

"..." Sasuke's eyes lightly passed over her, his expression looked a little nostalgic, "No, it's not that there is nothing, if I have to say... Tomato."

However, Hitomi, who grew up in the base of Orochimaru, didn't know what a tomato was. She tried her best to recall what she knew, and then determined that she had never seen a tomato.

Sasuke seemed to know what Hitomi was thinking, and added: "It's a vegetable."

"...Vegetables." Hitomi's face suddenly wrinkled. When she was still at the base, she often ate some green vegetables, but she didn't like vegetables at all, and preferred to eat meat.

However, since Sasuke likes it, she clenched her fists: "Then Hitomi will also like tomatoes from now on!"

"..." Sasuke sighed lowly, "You don't have to force yourself to like what I like, you have your own favorites, don't you? Meat, sweets or something."

"But..." Hitomi still wanted to say something, but Sasuke's eyes froze slightly just now, and the atmosphere around him changed instantly.

Hitomi keenly felt Sasuke's changes, seeing that he seemed to look past her at something behind her, Hitomi subconsciously wanted to turn around, but Sasuke held down his hand, "Don't move."

He abruptly turned his half-turned head back, and Hitomi sat obediently on the chair without moving, but just because they didn't move didn't mean that other people did the same. Soon, a big and sturdy man came to their table , staring sharply at Sasuke who was looking out of the window expressionlessly: "You are Uchiha Sasuke."

As soon as this sentence came out, the snack bar suddenly fell silent, and then there were low whispers. Even if they didn't know the name Sasuke, the name of Uchiha's family is very famous in any corner of the country of fire. famous.

Sasuke's face was so cold that it almost froze: "Does it have anything to do with you?"

"Look at this first, and then tell me if it has something to do with me." The big man took out a forehead guard from his pocket, and tied it on his forehead. Take this Konoha Renin back."

"Hmph," Sasuke sneered mockingly, "You can try."

"Even if you belong to that Uchiha family, you are still just a child after all," the big man's eyes showed a trace of contempt, "I don't want to cause a commotion here, if you follow me obediently, I will naturally not hurt you."

Sasuke, who had been irritated by the tavern owner, suddenly darkened his face, and stared at the Konoha ninja in front of him with a bit of ruthlessness. After taking off the ninja bag, a black kunai loomed. The customers in the snack bar immediately scattered when they realized something was wrong, and the boss also hid in the back kitchen. They were the only ones left in the huge space.

"Well, Uncle, your words are so difficult to understand." Hitomi seemed to be completely unaware of the tense atmosphere between the two people, and took another piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth, "Hitomi can't understand, what is rebellion? What is a leaf?"

The face of the big man known as the uncle froze suddenly: "I, I'm only eighteen..."

As he said that, he suddenly came back to his senses, and looked at the little girl sitting in front of Sasuke suspiciously: "...are you?"

"I'm Tomato." Hitomi blinked and said.

Sasuke: "..."

The big man seemed to think that this was her name, and glanced at Sasuke vigilantly: "Tomato, you may not understand me as a child, but the person in front of you is a bad person, so don't be with him anymore."

"Bad guy?" Hitomi tilted her head curiously, and shifted her gaze to Sasuke, "What is a bad guy?"

"..." The big man was silent, and then he couldn't help but slander in his heart. Could it be that this little girl has a brain problem?But now he can't care about so much, the most important thing is to bring that Uchiha Sasuke back to Konoha.

"Sasuke, I'm back..." Suigetsu's voice came from the door of the store, Hitomi immediately waved happily at Suigetsu who was frozen at the door just after entering: "We are here!"

"..." Shuiyue waved his hands twice reflexively, almost being complained in his heart, why did he just leave for a while and then a Konoha ninja ran out?Why is this ninja fighting Sasuke?Why did Hitomi still greet him with a face like nothing happened?He can't understand the situation in front of him at all!

"Are you also... Uchiha Sasuke's accomplice?" As soon as the big man said, Suigetsu suddenly realized that the person in front of him was an enemy, and hooked the corner of his mouth and said, "Sasuke, don't you see that you are quite popular?" .”

"Any news?" Sasuke asked, ignoring Suigetsu's words.

Shuiyue put her hands on her hips and grunted, "Can I come back without news?"

The beard of the big man who was ignored the whole time almost turned up: "Uchiha Sasuke! You don't think of me so much! Then you can't blame me!"

As he said that, the big man had already taken out Kunai from his ninja bag and stabbed directly at Sasuke's chest, Suigetsu's eyes widened, and Sasuke suddenly lowered his face to defend against his attack, but the big man's hand Stopped in mid-air like this, and was grabbed by another thin hand.

"Uncle, how could you do such a dangerous thing, it will hurt Sasuke." Hitomi lowered his head to look at the Kunai in his hand, his five fingers were slightly closed, the face of the big man suddenly turned pale, and his fingers were forced to loosen, The kunai in his hand fell to the table with a clang.

Suigetsu froze for a moment, and realized that Sasuke might not be joking when he said that Hitomi was stronger than him. He had been staring there just now, but he didn't see Hitomi's move at all. She stopped it almost instantly. That Konoha ninja.

"You...you..." The big man looked incredulously at the hand that was only one-third the thickness of his pupil and tightly grasped him. Her expression looked extremely relaxed, as if she hadn't exerted any force, but he But he couldn't move the slightest bit, as if he was imprisoned by something, the big man's expression gradually became panicked, "Are you..."

"Hello." The voice next to him drew his attention back, the big man turned his head subconsciously, his eyes were facing a pair of blood-red three-god jade writing sharing eyes, staring blankly at the movement of Goyu in Sasuke's eyes, the big man just froze got there.

"Ah, sharingan is really convenient." Shuiyue walked in with her hands behind her head, and punched the dull big man, "However, this person is really beyond his control, because he is a little boy. Children look down on them, they are too naive, there are many devil-like children in ninjas."

Sasuke didn't respond to Suigetsu's words, he just packed his things silently, and then put the money on the table: "We should leave, it has already caused a commotion."

"That's right," Shuiyue pulled out a smile that was sure to win, "But it shouldn't take long to catch that Ryusuke, I've already found out his address."

"After all, it's A-level traitorous ninja, so be careful." Sasuke got up and was about to leave. Seeing this, Hitomi stuffed all the remaining small cakes into his mouth, and then quickly followed Sasuke and Suigetsu who had already walked out the door.

Galloping on the roof, Suigetsu jumped and stopped on a two-storey building, then bent down to hide his figure, and hid behind the rack where the clothes were drying, Sasuke quickly followed with Hitomi, Out of the corner of my eye, I fell on the upstairs opposite: "Is this the place?"

"Ah," Shuiyue replied, "It's true that what I found out is here, but it can't be ruled out that it's fake news or that Ryusuke himself exposed it to us on purpose."

Sasuke frowned slightly, and asked Suigetsu for a rare opinion: "Go in directly, or observe for a while?"

Shuiyue hesitated for a few seconds, then clenched her fists: "Dive directly in!"

Hitomi stared at Sasuke and Suigetsu jumping towards the opposite house in a daze. She lowered her head and glanced at the somewhat deserted street, blinked, and stretched out her hands to form a circle in front of her eyes: "Ryusuke, found .”

After speaking, her figure disappeared from the spot in an instant, leaving no afterimage.

This house is not big, after sneaking in, Sasuke and Suigetsu almost turned the whole room upside down and found no sign of Ryusuke, and there were no photos or other evidence in the room that could prove that he lived here.

"Since you have worked with Orochimaru, you should be very good at experimental research," Shuiyue muttered lowly as he flipped through the bookcase, "These books don't seem to have anything to do with research."

Sasuke frowned and glanced around this room, which was no different from an ordinary residential house. When he habitually looked behind him, he realized that Hitomi who had been following him had disappeared at some point.
