[Hokage] Sasuke-kun's Melancholy

Sasuke was taken aback for a moment, and asked with some doubts: "Are you also...a fierce beast?"

"What about ferocious beasts, don't use that outdated term," Yao curled his lips, "Now we are no different from human beings, aren't we?"

How could there be no difference, he has seen Hitomi's pseudo-beast state with his own eyes, even now, every time the full moon comes, he needs to use Sharingan to restrain her, otherwise Hitomi will become a addict like that day Bloody and cruel monster.

"Looking at your expression, it seems that you don't agree with me very much." Yao touched his chin and thought for a while, "Hey, tell me, how long have you been the master of this child?"

"..." Sasuke moved his eyes to Hitomi, and she blinked at him, "About... two years."

"That is to say, have you seen her imitation animal state?"

Sasuke was silent for a while, then nodded.

Yao suddenly showed a somewhat surprised expression: "Qongqi's imitation beast state is quite terrifying, and ordinary humans cannot accept it, right? You...did not abandon her?"

There was a strong disbelief in the tone, as if it was only natural to abandon Qiongqi's pseudo-beast state after seeing it.

Sasuke was choked by her words, and suddenly he was speechless. In fact, he also tried to abandon her back then, thinking that such a dangerous creature could not be kept by his side anyway, but after knowing that the master who recognized the beast would not accept After dying, he still took Tong back.

It's just that there is no need to tell this person these words.

"Well, no matter what, it's great that you can accept this child." Yao's face darkened slightly, "The number of fierce beasts is getting smaller and smaller. I haven't met the same kind for many years."

……many years?

Sasuke subconsciously looked at her still young face, and unconsciously asked, "How old are you?"

"Ah, how can you ask a girl's age!" Haruka rolled her eyes, "A young and energetic girl like me is of course always 16 years old!"

Sasuke: "..."

He didn't want to say that Yao didn't even look 16 years old, but judging from her tone, she was definitely over, and by a lot.

When Haruka said her age, Hitomi who didn't recognize her voice-over blinked and raised her hand: "Hitomi is fifteen this year."

"Fifteen," Yao smiled and kneaded her soft cheeks, "Is that so, you grow really slowly."

Although she herself seems to be about the same, but it is very useful in pretending to be tender.

Glancing at Sasuke, whose face was a bit dark, Haruka stretched out his hand and hugged Hitomi tightly in his arms, then rubbed against him: "Lend me another hug and I'll give it back to you. Don't look so fierce in your eyes."

"..." Sasuke's hands clenched into fists subconsciously, and asked in a low voice, "Is it true that Hitomi said she was fifteen...?"

"Of course it's true," Yao looked at him suspiciously, "Is there something wrong? Or did you treat her like a child because she grew up slowly?"

"..." Sasuke's entire face darkened immediately after being hit by her words, so Hitomi is actually a girl of the same age as him?But he has seen her body so many times, and has shared the bed with her for two years?

"Aha..." Noticing Sasuke's complex expression, Haruka covered his mouth and let out a low laugh, his eyes narrowed, "Could it be that I'm right?"

Sasuke was choked up and couldn't say a word.

"Okay, okay, I still have something to do, I really have to go," rubbing Hitomi's face vigorously, Haruka kissed her on the cheek, and then reluctantly pushed her towards Sasuke Tweet: "Hitomi, goodbye."

Hitomi nodded, smiled and shook her hand at her, and the figure disappeared from their eyes in an instant.

In the silent forest, there were only the two of them left. Hitomi blinked, smiling as always, and rushed towards Sasuke, as if she wanted to hug his arm, but suddenly someone's voice sounded in Sasuke's head.

She is 15 years old.

She is as old as you.

Almost subconsciously, Sasuke turned his body slightly to the side to avoid her, and Hitomi was immediately emptied.

"Ah?" Hitomi didn't react a little, looked up at Sasuke with a complex expression, and stretched out his hand to chase his slender fingers. Sasuke quickly put his hands behind his back, and then stared at her with a downcast face: "In the future , don't touch me casually."

"...Ah?" Hitomi opened her eyes in a daze, but she didn't understand why Sasuke suddenly changed his attitude, "Hitomi...did something wrong?"

"..." Sasuke exhaled slowly, covering his face with his hands a little irritably, "You are right, it is my problem."

He took it for granted.

All along, because Hitomi looked like she was in her teens, he never thought of asking how old she was, or rather, this kind of thing was out of his concern.Thinking about it carefully, he didn't know anything about Tong at all, what he knew was what Tong repeated in his ear every day.

"Sasuke, is it because Hitomi blocked you just now?" Hitomi looked at Sasuke's slightly gloomy face in a daze, "Haruka..."

"Enough, stop talking." Coldly interrupting Hitomi's words, Sasuke couldn't help frowning when he thought of Haruka's narrow smile just now, it was as if she had peeped into his heart, this kind of being seen through The feeling of inexplicable makes people feel...very uncomfortable.

Back in Orochimaru's base, when he threw the failed scroll to Oroshemaru, he seemed to have expected this a long time ago, without showing a surprised expression at all, he just picked up the corner of his mouth and took the scroll: "How strong is Taki Ninja Village?"

"Vulnerable." Sasuke replied blankly.

"Really," Orochimaru showed such an expression, "With your strength, it is indeed within the range of being vulnerable."

"You already knew that things would turn out like this." Sasuke asked in a low tone.

"If Sasuke thinks so, I can't deny it," Orochimaru's eyes fell on Hitomi, who was obviously depressed, "You...argued?"

No, not right.Orochimaru slandered in his heart, talking about quarreling, it was obviously something Sasuke did unilaterally.

"……No."

Throwing two words, Sasuke turned and opened the door to leave, and Hitomi followed Sasuke's footsteps not as briskly as before, it was like a heavy iron was tied to his leg, which looked very heavy.

Sasuke didn't mention Hitomi's age to Orochimaru, and also concealed from Orochimaru that they met Haruka in the forest, even though he knew Orochimaru had a strong obsession with finding that beast.Haruka probably confessed her identity to him because of Hitomi, and she must have been disguised as a human being in the crowd in normal times.

Back in his room, Sasuke put the Kusanagi sword on the table, then went to get dry clothes to take a shower, just opened the door of the closet, his hand just stood there, some black lines turned his head and looked behind him in silence He tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Let go."

Hitomi pursed her mouth, unexpectedly did not obey his order, shook her head and said in a low voice: "Don't..."

"..." Sasuke's expression became impatient, and he wanted to take her hand off his clothes, but he failed in trying to do so two years ago, and now he is still failing, Hitomi's hand tightly grasped Holding the corner of his clothes, he remained motionless.

It was as if he was mocking him for not growing up in the past two years. In front of the powerful Tong, he seemed to never be able to catch up with her speed, nor her strength.

Just like before he left Konoha two years ago, he confidently challenged that man, but found that he seemed to have no progress compared with him on the night of the genocide. Hitomi's strength gap.Whether it was before or now, he has never been able to pose any threat to Tong, or rather, he can only deal with Tong's attacks blindly forever.

Nothing makes people feel more hopeless than not being able to catch the target. This kind of despair is like going back to the day in Konoha, when he rushed angrily and wanted to kill Itachi—using his most proud chidori, but It was like being easily dodged by Itachi.

Silently looking down at Hitomi who was determined not to let go, Sasuke's eyes darkened and became sullen. The chakra in his body gradually flowed along the meridian to the left hand, and then gradually gathered at the fingertips.

Hitomi didn't notice the murderous look in his eyes at all, because she didn't even dare to look up to see Sasuke's expression now.

He must be very angry if he didn't listen to him, he must do something to make Sasuke happy.

Ah, speaking of which, when was Sasuke happy?

Hitomi recalled it for a long time, only to find that Sasuke never seemed to be happy, and never smiled at her. Compared with her who was easy to satisfy, Sasuke seemed to be aloof and indifferent more often. Not much interest in anything.

Such a him...is he really happy because of something?

Hitomi thought for a long time with a bitter face, but she couldn't come up with an answer, but she already felt the pressure from Sasuke. He must be angry, so she hurriedly thought about what to do, what to do, what to do...

Wait, when are you the happiest?

Hitomi suddenly realized "Ah", then stretched out her hand decisively, and hugged Sasuke's thin waist before he could react, feeling his body's instant stiffness and movement to break free, her hand She tightened it even more, and buried her face deeply into his chest:

"Sasuke, Hitomi likes you the most!"

That's right, if Sasuke could say that to her, it must be her happiest moment!

"..." Sasuke's movement of trying to push her away suddenly stopped, silently looking at the round head on his chest, the chakra gathered in his left hand disappeared in an instant.

He leaned on the closet and looked at the ceiling in a daze, and then stretched out his hand to wrap her neck around her, gently stroking Hitomi's soft hair, and he couldn't see anything clearly in his pitch-black eyes.
