[Hokage] Sasuke-kun's Melancholy

After finishing the training in the afternoon, Sasuke lay on the bed a little tired after taking a shower, but suddenly recalled what Sai had said to him in his mind, that Naruto had been... looking for him.

In the battle in the Valley of the End, he tried to cut off the bond between them with his own hands, just like that man did, killing his best relatives and friends to gain new strength.

In the end, he still didn't do anything. Although he comforted himself with "I don't want to follow the path arranged by that guy", in fact, he knew very well in his heart that he couldn't kill Naruto.

"When I'm with you, I often think, bro... that's probably how it feels. 』

"Because you are... the bond that I finally got..."

The Sharingan in his eyes activated unconsciously, he stared deeply at the empty wall, and then slowly closed his eyes.

It didn't take long before he heard a slight noise coming from behind him. Sasuke sighed habitually, and then felt a little furry head gently slipped into his arms and rubbed against him. chin, Sasuke couldn't help frowning and threatened, "Don't move, or you'll go down."

A small animal in his arms immediately stopped moving.

After learning her real age half a year ago, he resisted Hitomi's physical contact with him for a while, but it didn't last long, he was defeated by Hitomi's perseverance, and ended up in such a semi-compromised state .

After all, even if he knew about Hitomi Fifteen, she looked like a child no matter what she said and did. It seemed to be more difficult to treat her as a peer of his own age.

Sasuke, who was gradually falling asleep, let out a shallow breathing sound, and the silent room suddenly fell silent.

In the darkness, something came in through the crack of the door, seeming to be spying on him on the bed.Sasuke, who was sleeping soundly, opened his eyes abruptly, but his body remained motionless. Soon, he heard the sound of the wooden door being gently pushed open.

The feeling of threat was getting closer and closer, and Hitomi in his arms opened his eyes immediately, facing Sasuke's sleepless eyes.Sasuke lowered his eyes expressionlessly, and when the threat behind him was about to touch him, he said indifferently and slowly: "Who is it?"

"..." After a moment of silence behind him, Sai's voice that he had seen before sounded, "I was discovered by you, but I already have the upper hand."

Sasuke was still lying motionless: "What do you want to do?"

"I want...to bring you back to Muye Village," Sai said after a pause, "I came here to kill you before, but now..."

"I want to protect what he has always wanted to keep, the bond between you."

"Bond," Sasuke's dark eyes became even darker, "just for such a trivial matter..."

"What is the fetter?"

A voice belonging to another person suddenly sounded in the room, Saii froze, his body tensed suddenly, is there a third person here?Why didn't he notice it before?

A thin black figure sat up from Sasuke's arms, and Sai narrowed his eyes to look carefully, only to suddenly notice that this person was the little girl he had seen not long ago.

"Ah, it's you," Hitomi stretched out her finger and drew a circle in the air, as if thinking about what to call him, "that...'unimportant' person."

"..." Sai frowned, "Indeed, I am an irrelevant person."

As he said that, he looked at Sasuke who was still lying on the bed with his back turned to him: "But Naruto is not, I am here to help him bring you back to Konoha."

"Naruto?" Hitomi looked suspiciously at Sasuke who was still lying on the bed. The emotion in his eyes was a bit obscure. She had seen this kind of look many times. Every time Orochimaru mentioned Konoha, he would show such a look expression.

Sai looked at them calmly, and put his two fingers upright on his chest to make a seal. Those black snake-like things straightened up in an instant, opened their mouths and spit out snake letters, and attacked Sasuke violently!

Sasuke's Sharingan was activated instantly, and the chakra gathered in his left hand was released suddenly. The collapse caused by the huge explosion spread to the entire room, and the falling gravel and dust affected Sai's vision. He subconsciously took a few steps back and used the His arm blocked his eyes, and when he opened them again, the nearby walls and roofs had all disappeared due to the explosion, and the bright light made him unable to open his eyes.

Raising his head and squinting at Sasuke and Hitomi who were standing in the backlight, Sai said to himself in a low voice: "It's really amazing...you actually forcibly unlocked my technique."

Sasuke lowered his head and looked at him without saying a word, but at this moment, a girl with pink hair rushed out from a passage, grabbed Sai by the collar, and shouted angrily: "You What is the purpose of you! How many times do you have to betray us before..."

"Is it Sakura?" Sasuke asked calmly.

cherry?Hitomi was stunned, and subconsciously looked at the girl, she is... a flower that will bloom in spring?

The pink-haired girl's voice stopped abruptly when she heard Sasuke's words, as if someone had pressed the pause button, she turned her head slowly and stiffly, her wide-open emerald green eyes were filled with Shocked, the moment she met Sasuke's eyes, she said in a trembling voice: "Sasuke..."

Hitomi was taken aback, and subconsciously grabbed Sasuke's sleeve with her left hand. For some reason, the moment she saw the girl, a panic arose in her heart that Sasuke would be snatched away by her.

Sakura's eyes slowly moved to the little girl beside Sasuke, she was holding Sasuke's sleeve tightly, looking at her with a hint of hostility in her eyes, Sakura was stunned: "She is..."

Before the words were finished, another sound of rapid footsteps attracted everyone's attention, and a boy with short blond hair came out of the passage, his blue eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked up at Sasuke who was standing above , the expression was complex and difficult to understand, even more emotional than Sakura just now.

Hitomi glanced between Naruto and Sasuke who were staring at each other silently, and the sense of crisis in his heart suddenly soared, it's not good!This Naruto is even more dangerous than that Sakura just now!Why is everyone trying to grab Sasuke from her!

"It's Naruto, you're here too," Sasuke said calmly, "So, Kakashi is here too."

Another footstep caught Sasuke's attention, and a tall man slowly came out from the passage: "I'm sorry, Kakashi didn't come, I'm taking his place now."

Originally thought that this person was more dangerous than Naruto, but she found that Sasuke just glanced at him lightly and then looked away, Hitomi was relieved, it seemed that this person did not pose any threat.

A little scared glanced at the entrance of the passage, and said why can't they come out together, if they have to come out one by one, there won't be more behind, right?Hitomi silently stared at the passageway, and suddenly felt that there might be a bunch of people queuing up to play inside.

"Now, Kakashiban is going to take you back to Konoha Village." Captain Yamato said in a calm voice, Sasuke was taken aback, his brows furrowed slightly, and he repeated in a low voice: "Kakashiban..."

Sai lowered his face, pulled out the short sword behind his back, and aimed at Sasuke in an attacking posture.

"Sai!" Sakura turned her head and looked at him angrily, "You really are!"

"Is this guy the one to replace me?" Sasuke raised his chin slightly, looking down at them, "What are you talking about to protect the bond between me and Naruto... Another naive guy came."

"...What?" Sakura was stunned, looking at Sai with doubt.

"It's true that my secret mission was to assassinate Sasuke, but, I don't want to obey orders, and now I want to act according to my own will, because Naruto reminds me, something I felt before... I feel like that important."

Pursing his lips, Sai looked at Sasuke sharply: "Although I don't know you well, there must be a reason why Naruto and Sakura are looking for you so desperately. They don't want to let themselves bond with you." Disappear, they want to try their best to keep the bond with you, although I don't understand it very well, Sasuke, you should know why they did this."

"..." Sasuke looked at them silently, "Ah, I know."

He spoke slowly, with a low and indifferent tone: "It is precisely because of this that I want to break this bond."

Hitomi silently glanced at the four people below whose expressions suddenly became heavy. She didn't understand what they were talking about, what kind of fetters and fetters, what exactly was the fetter, why they seemed to understand, and only she communicated with them Obstacle?

"I still have other fetters, and that is... the hatred for my brother," Sasuke felt his sleeves being pulled forcefully, someone was emphasizing her presence, he paused, and continued, "Too Too many fetters will only make yourself confused, and strong thoughts and cherished thoughts will only make you more vulnerable."

"Since you said that, then why..." Naruto couldn't suppress his emotions, he raised his head and roared excitedly and angrily: "Why didn't you kill me! Sasuke! You think this is called cutting Break the shackles!"

Hitomi blinked, and immediately recalled Sasuke's earnest teaching that day, and answered for him: "Because Sasuke said that you can't kill people lightly."

Sasuke: "..."

The following four people: "..."

"No, it's not that I can't break the bond with you," Sasuke continued, ignoring Hitomi's words, "I just don't want to follow his method to gain power."

Naruto gritted his teeth: "What do you mean?"

"There is no need to explain to you," Sasuke lowered his eyes to look at Naruto who was frowning and staring at him, "but I can tell you that it was my whim that saved your life."

"Eh?" Hitomi raised her head suspiciously, "Didn't you say that there must be a reason to kill him before killing him?"

Sasuke: "..."
