[Hokage] Sasuke-kun's Melancholy

"Really, I got it," Sasuke nodded, and then said as if remembering something, "Those experimental subjects are too weak, let you have more powerful experimental subjects here."

"...Hehe," Orochimaru raised the corners of his mouth, "Sasuke, isn't my most powerful experimental product right in front of your eyes?"

Hearing this, Sasuke couldn't help frowning, lowered his head to look at the thin girl in front of him, Hitomi blinked, and immediately stretched out his head as if begging to be touched.

Sasuke: "..."

Ignoring his pet's stupid actions, Sasuke turned and walked to his room: "Let's go, Hitomi."

Hitomi was stunned for a moment, a very happy smile appeared on his face, and he followed Sasuke bouncing around. Sasuke squinted at excited Hitomi, was he happy because his name was called?

Ah, so to speak...

Sasuke looked down at Hitomi: "Can you speak?"

Tong raised his head and looked at him with a confused face, tilted his head and thought for a while as if in distress, then smiled and nodded vigorously.

"..." Can this guy really talk?I feel like I can't communicate at all.

Sasuke pushed open the door of his room: "Tell me a few words and have a look."

Hitomi blinked and thought for a few seconds, then blurted out a crisp and childish voice: "Sasuke!"

"Any more?"

"Sasuke!"

"...I mean, would you say anything else?"

"..." Hitomi seemed to see that Sasuke's mood was not good, and tentatively asked, "Sasuke?"

"Forget it, when I didn't say it."

Tong Tong was stunned, and his face drooped suddenly, showing a somewhat lost and frustrated expression.

Sasuke ignored the downcast Hitomi standing beside him, took out the pillow and bedding from the box, laid them on the floor, pointed to her and said, "This is your bed."

Hitomi nodded half-understood, looked around the somewhat empty room, and landed on Sasuke's bed.

"That's mine." Sasuke glanced at Hitomi whose hair was sticking to his forehead indiscriminately. Although his body was also wet and sticky and very uncomfortable, he still said to Hitomi, "Go take a shower first."

Hitomi nodded obediently, but stood there motionless.

"..." Sasuke held his forehead with a headache, "Do you not understand, or can't you?"

Hitomi looked around at a loss, then ran to the table, tiptoed to pour a glass of water, then ran to Sasuke, and handed him the glass of water.

Sasuke: "..."

This guy can't understand him at all!

Sasuke pushed open the bathroom door irritably, turned on the switch to fill the bathtub with water, and Hitomi, who followed Sasuke in, stood behind him stupidly watching Sasuke's movements, and didn't seem to understand what he was doing.

"...Damn it," Sasuke's tone became very impatient, "I didn't come here to be your nanny, if you can't take care of yourself, you should leave as soon as possible!"

Hitomi was startled by his angry tone, subconsciously took a step back, and let out a low whimper.

Seeing that the bathtub was full of water, Sasuke turned the switch on, then looked back at Hitomi: "Take off your clothes and go in."

Hitomi looked at the bathtub in the direction Sasuke's finger was pointing at, the ripples on the water bloomed round and round, and walked to the side of the bathtub slowly, Hitomi hesitated for a while, raised his head and looked at Sasuke with pleading eyes.

Sasuke just folded his hands on his chest and looked at her coldly, his mouth tightly shut and he didn't say a word.

Hitomi lowered her head in disappointment, a slight whimper sounded from her throat, and her whole body seemed sluggish, Sasuke frowned and looked at her in confusion, she was just taking a bath, why was she so resistant?

His eyes fell on the quiet water in the bathtub, Sasuke suddenly remembered the nutrition tank that soaked her, and looking at Hitomi's reaction now, she didn't think he was going to put her back in the nutrition tank, did she?

"..." Sasuke, who had figured it out, sighed helplessly, his heart softened inexplicably, he stretched out his hand and touched Hitomi's head, "I won't lock you up."

Hitomi rubbed Sasuke's hand subconsciously, not sure if she understood, but this time she obediently crawled into the bathtub by herself.

"...Hey! Wait! Take off your clothes first!"

After taking a shower, Sasuke opened the door refreshed, and saw Hitomi kneeling obediently on the floor he had laid for her. Since she had no clothes to wear, Hitomi could only wear his clothes temporarily.Even so, Sasuke's clothes were too big for her, and the wide collar almost slipped off her white shoulders, making Hitomi, who was sitting upright and serious, look ridiculous.

Wiping his wet hair with a towel casually, Sasuke sat on his bed, took a scroll on the table and began to read, these were all things Orochimaru gave him, saying that he wanted to learn by himself.

Sasuke didn't say a word, just looked at his book in silence, and Hitomi also stayed there quietly, without making a sound, as if she didn't exist.

So much so that Sasuke really forgot her existence.

When he closed the book and was about to go to bed, Sasuke remembered Hitomi who had been kneeling all the time. He frowned and looked at Hitomi who was motionless, and his eyes fell on her round feet: "Your legs... are not numb. ?"

Hitomi tilted her head, but her body fell to the side as if she lost her balance at that moment, and then fell on the bed while maintaining her kneeling posture.

Sasuke: "..."

After being dazed for two seconds, Hitomi seemed to feel that he could move. He climbed up from the bed with both hands and feet, put his hands between his legs, raised his head and looked at Sasuke expectantly, his big black eyes were shining, almost No more tail wagging.

Patting Hitomi's head perfunctorily, watching her lying on the bed with a satisfied face, Sasuke covered her with the quilt she had forgotten, then got up and extinguished the candle, and the room was suddenly plunged into darkness .

Sasuke, who just lay down and was about to sleep, heard a childish voice from beside him: "Sasuke?"

"kindness?"

Sasuke was still waiting for her response with his eyes open, but after a while, the sound of shallow and even breathing came through, and Hitomi had already fallen asleep.

"..." Sasuke closed his eyes in silence, the tiredness from the day swept over him, and after a while, he also fell into sleep.

When it was daylight, Sasuke felt an unusually heavy feeling on his body, which made him unable to even turn over. When he opened his eyes with a headache, he found a small hairy head on his chest.

"..." Sasuke pressed her head in disgust, and pushed her to the side, "Go down."

Probably hearing that Sasuke's tone was not very good, Hitomi immediately got up from Sasuke, and then sat upright by the bed: "Good morning!"

Sasuke was taken aback, looked at Hitomi with some doubts, and found that her eyes were still a little proud and excited: "Just learned?"

Hitomi nodded happily.

Blocking the glare of the sun with the back of his hand, Sasuke slowly lifted the quilt and sat up, half-opening his eyes and looking a little dazed, squinting and yawning as he walked to the bathroom.

Sasuke who opened the bathroom door stood there silent for a few seconds, then closed it, and opened it again after a while.

"..." Sasuke ground his teeth and turned around, "Hitomi, what did you do?"

Hitomi swayed from side to side with an innocent expression: "Taking a shower..."

Can a shower flood the entire bathroom?Sasuke looked back at the water in the bathroom, he felt even more headache now that he was surrounded by low air pressure.

Damn it, can you return this guy to Orochimaru.

After washing, Sasuke pushed open the door and walked out, until his figure was about to disappear from Hitomi's field of vision, she ran down from the bed barefoot, trotting to follow Sasuke's footsteps.

I don't know if it's because of Hitomi following behind him, but Sasuke felt that all the experimental subjects he met today shunned him, hiding as far away as possible.

... Is that guy really that scary?

Walking into the practice field, Sasuke saw dozens of experimental subjects standing opposite the wall at a glance, all wearing uniform white clothes, which were particularly conspicuous in the somewhat dim room.

"Are there only ten people today?" Sasuke stood on the spot with a calm expression, looking at the experimental subjects standing opposite him with heavy eyes, but those experimental subjects did not have the vicious expression as yesterday, instead their eyes were full of fear , the object of obvious fear will not be him, but...

"Hitomi," Sasuke said in a low voice, "go out."

Although he didn't look back, Sasuke heard some small footsteps running out of the room, and his attention returned to the experimental subject opposite, then slowly bent his knees, stretched out his hands and assumed a fighting posture.

Outside the door, Hitomi was sitting on the ground with her knees hugged against the wall, her skin touching the cold ground, the cold air seemed to penetrate through her body and soak into her bones, but Hitomi didn't seem to feel anything, but tilted her head and muttered:

"Good morning."

"good afternoon."

"good evening."

After reading a lot of greetings, Hitomi was very satisfied with her study results, a somewhat smug smile appeared on her face, and then she quickly drooped down, touching her stomach with a bitter face: "Sasuke, I'm hungry."

Sasuke, who was fighting fiercely inside, naturally couldn't hear Hitomi's voice outside, but frowned and dealt with the opponent in front of him. Orochimaru did listen to his words. Today's opponents are much stronger than those in the past, although It's not that he can't beat him, but under the siege of ten people, he must be careful to guard against attacks from any corner, and at the same time, he must pay attention not to reveal any flaws in himself.

The red three-god jade in his eyes slowly turned, and Sasuke could clearly see everyone's attacking action and the next action, which was more clear than what he saw during the Chunin exam.

And the three-pointed jade with this pair of eyes was finally obtained during the duel with Naruto in the Valley of the End.

Suddenly, he remembered Naruto's howling at him that day and the heavy rain. He knelt in front of Naruto who fell on the ground, but he still didn't kill him in the end.

"When you get the same eyes as mine, come to me again. 』

"You have the same qualifications as me to open eyes, but there is one condition, that is...kill your closest friend. 』

"Shut up!" Sasuke yelled angrily, and the curse mark on the back of his neck seemed to be guided by anger at that moment, and spread to the surroundings in an instant, quickly covering half of Sasuke's body.
