[Hokage] Sasuke-kun's Melancholy

Except for the penniless Hitomi, Sasuke and Suigetsu searched all the valuables on their bodies before barely escaping the fate of being left to wash the dishes.

Shuiyue carried the unconscious Ryusuke on her shoulders, and complained unhappily as she walked: "Damn it, whoever said to play for a day, you'll lose your fortune if you play."

Sasuke rolled his eyes at him: "Isn't it you?"

"It's clearly Hitomi!" Shuiyue retorted dissatisfied.

"How old is Hitomi, how old are you," Sasuke snorted coldly, "and put the blame on the children."

Shuiyue was choked speechless, and could only walk forward angrily, Tong was squatting beside the tree roots not far in front, as if she was concentrating on observing something.

"Did you find any strange grass?" Shuiyue asked casually.

"It's not grass." Hitomi reached out and grabbed the thing, and handed it to them, "it can move."

She was holding a black beetle-like thing in her hand, and its tiny limbs were still moving due to the suspension. It was much larger than ordinary beetles, almost as big as Hitomi's palm.

After bending down to see what Tong was holding, Shuiyue's face twisted subtly: "Hitomi, your luck...is really not so good."

"Huh?" Hitomi looked at Sasuke blankly.

"..." Sasuke twitched the corner of his mouth, "That's a unicorn, which is rare."

"Rare..." Hitomi looked at the black beetle in his hand curiously, exerted a little force on his hand, and the unicorn immediately struggled vigorously, Shuiyue's face tightened, and he snatched the unicorn from Hitomi's hand almost instantly. Xian, saved it from being crushed and exploded.

Hitomi stared at her empty hand for a few seconds, then raised her head to look at Shuiyue: "What's wrong?"

"Hitomi, if you push so hard, it will die," Shuiyue exhaled slowly, with a gentle smile on her face, "How about I help you take care of it?"

Hitomi nodded half-understood, and didn't have any emotion because of the behavior of almost pinching it to death, then turned around cheerfully and continued to explore the depths of the forest. There are too many things she has never seen before. Everything made her feel very novel.

It wasn't until Hitomi was some distance away from them that Suigetsu, who was walking beside Sasuke, became more serious, staring at the front with a blank expression and said: "Sasuke, I know that Hitomi's common sense is much worse than that of ordinary people. I also know that she is very strong, but haven't you told her what depriving her of life means?"

Sasuke's face darkened slightly, and he clenched his fists unconsciously: "She knows."

She must know that every time she played against her in the training ground, Hitomi would be very careful to ensure that she would not hurt him. She said that she did not want to let herself die. Since such worries and fears would arise, it means that Hitomi is Know what death means.

So Sasuke has always believed that Hitomi knows what life and death mean, and will not deprive others of their lives at will, but it seems that this is not the case now.

Indeed, she knew very well what death was, and she cared about his life and death.

But that's about it.

Sasuke lowered his eyes, the expression in his eyes was a bit dark and unclear. If he was not mistaken, what Hitomi cared about was only the life and death of Uchiha Sasuke, and the life and death of anyone else, any creature, seemed to have nothing to do with her Normally, Hitomi would not feel any psychological burden even if she took the life of another person with her own hands.

Although she still lacks the consciousness that a human being should have, in another sense, she is also frighteningly indifferent.

"Although the ninja world is very cruel, if you don't kill others, you will be killed by others," said Suigetsu with a rare serious expression, "but when you kill someone, you should have the consciousness to bear the guilt." , What did your actions destroy or produce, although it is strange for me to say such things, but to survive in the ninja world, she must have such an understanding, otherwise..."

"It will only become a killing tool."

Suigetsu's words made Sasuke's heart twitch uncontrollably, his fingertips had already sunk into the palm of his hand, he pursed his lips and remained silent for a while, Sasuke slowly let go of his fingers: "I see."

Back at Orochimaru's base, Suigetsu threw the unconscious Ryusuke in front of Orochimaru: "Mission completed."

Ryusuke, who was thrown to the ground, woke up from the violent impact, slightly opened his closed eyes, facing the narrow and long golden pupils of Shang Dashemaru, with a calm smile on his pale face: "Long time no see, Ryusuke. "

With a hoarse and greasy voice, Ryusuke instantly recognized the person in front of him, and his face turned pale: "Da, Dashewan?"

"That's right, it's me," Orochimaru raised the corners of his mouth, and leaned down to approach him, "Don't you feel happy about the long-lost reunion?"

Because of Orochimaru's approaching action, Ryusuke almost subconsciously moved back a few steps, and his voice couldn't help trembling slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you want to kill me?"

"How come?" Orochimaru stood up straight again, "I still have a lot of things to ask you~"

The meaningful tone made Ryusuke tremble even more, but Orochimaru did not continue to ask, but looked at Suigetsu and Sasuke who stood silently aside: "Thank you for helping me bring him back, you can Go back and rest."

Obvious order to chase away guests, Sasuke glanced at Ryusuke who was showing despair from the corner of his eye, and then walked out without looking back.

Pushing open the door of his room, Hitomi was reading a book lying on the table, and could vaguely see the words "Ultraman beats little monsters" on the cover, Sasuke couldn't help but twitched the corners of his eyes, Decided to ignore her slacking off.

Compared with Kakashi's Intimate Paradise, this book can't be more suitable for children. Presumably Hitomi can't read those boring ninjutsu scrolls at all, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to read the first sentence of the ninja manual come out.

The fascinated Hitomi didn't even notice that Sasuke came in, until he took off the Kusanagi sword and put it on the table, and there was a clear and crisp collision sound, which brought back the consciousness of Hitomi who was addicted to fighting monsters.

She almost replaced the book in her hand with a high-level fire escape technique as quickly as lightning, and then pretended to stare at the words on the page seriously, as if Sasuke didn't know that she was secretly looking at something else just now.

...It really is a child.

While Sasuke was thinking this way, he couldn't help but recall whether he had done such a stupid thing when he was a child, and suddenly remembered what Suigetsu had said to him on the way back.

『It will only become a murder tool. 』

Suigetsu didn't know that Hitomi was a fierce beast, but just regarded her as an experimental product with a little low IQ but strong strength, but Sasuke actually saw the scene where Hitomi brutally tore people apart in the state of a pseudo-beast. After that, he used Sharingan to suppress Hitomi very well, but those images also became his midnight nightmare.

It is necessary to make her more like a normal human being, Sasuke thought so, and his brows were already tightly knit together: "Hitomi, let me ask you a question."

Hitomi immediately threw away the boring book in his hand, and moved from the cushion to the direction facing Sasuke: "What's the problem?"

"You..." Sasuke couldn't help clenching his hands, but he hesitated again when the words came to his lips, raised his head to meet Kamihito's somewhat ignorant eyes, he subconsciously looked away, and said in a low voice, "You... Afraid of death?"

"Death?" Hitomi repeated blankly, "Me?"

"..." Sasuke nodded.

"It's nothing to be afraid of, death or something..." Hitomi moved her gaze upwards, staring at the ceiling as if thinking seriously, then shook her head again, "No, that's not right."

Saying that, she looked at Sasuke again, and said with a very sure look: "Although I'm not afraid, Hitomi doesn't want to die."

Sasuke secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to ask her, "Why?"

"Because if I die, I will never see Sasuke again," Hitomi giggled, "Hitomi wants to be with Sasuke forever."

Such a thing is impossible...

This answer suddenly appeared in Sasuke's heart, he is an avenger, he has someone he must kill, before that, there is another Orochimaru eyeing him, even he himself can't guarantee that he can live for a long time.

Even so, Sasuke raised his chin slightly, and a somewhat cold voice sounded in the room: "Then if I was killed, you will be very sad, right?"

Hitomi's expression froze, and he immediately shook his head: "Hitomi will not let Sasuke die, absolutely."

"Then maybe," Sasuke lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice, "Will you be sad and remorseful, will you want revenge?"

Tong was startled, his expression became tangled, he glanced around a little uneasy, and finally hesitantly nodded slightly.

As if guiding her thoughts, Sasuke continued to speak: "That's right, you will be like this, and others will be like this. A person's death will inevitably bring sadness and hatred."

"After knowing this, if you still want to kill that person, you must consider the reasons why you must kill him."

Saying that, Sasuke's frowning brows loosened slightly: "If you can't find a reason, don't kill."

Hitomi seemed to have finally figured out what Sasuke said, she tilted her head and asked, "What Sasuke means is to tell Hitomi not to kill people casually?"

Sasuke was taken aback, then nodded with his lips pursed.

"Hitomi understands," she said with a big smile on her face, "If Sasuke wanted that, Hitomi would never kill someone so easily."

... This guy really didn't understand, Sasuke couldn't help but hold his forehead, and in the end, all she could listen to was her own orders, because she didn't want her to do it, so she didn't do it. As for why, Hitomi probably didn't know why. Did not understand.

After finally thinking of a statement that is relatively easy for her to understand, it seems that it has no effect at all.
