[Hokage] Sasuke-kun's Melancholy

If you want to go to the northern base, you will inevitably have to go through that sea area, and if you want to go through that sea area, you will still return to the question of how landlubbers pass through.

Sasuke habitually half squatted in front of Hitomi, and when he was about to carry her on his back, Kaoru adjusted his glasses in displeasure, raised the corners of his mouth and said mockingly: "You can't even use Chakra, you really are a burden ah."

"That's not it!" Saying so, Hitomi looked at Sasuke who was patiently waiting for him to go up with slightly bent knees, but his expression became hesitant.

"Come up quickly." Sasuke frowned and stretched out his hand to grab the crook of her leg, and forcibly carried her on his back. Hitomi almost fell backwards unsteadily, and quickly hugged Sasuke's neck tightly.

Compared with the southern base area, the northern base area is much farther and more remote. After walking a short distance, Shuiyue has asked to rest several times.

"By the way, why does Sasuke keep reciting it?" Kaorin looked dissatisfiedly at Suigetsu who was yawning, "You can recite it too."

"Huh?" Shuiyue scratched her hair, spread her hands and said helplessly, "Please forgive me, I'm tired enough to walk such a long way."

"...Damn it, this guy is that guy too," Xiang Lin pouted, "It's all so useless."

Sasuke, who had been silent all this time, glanced at Hitomi sleeping on his shoulder from the corner of his eye, and said in a low voice, "Be quiet, Kaorin."

Finding a small rocky mountain protruding from the water, Shuiyue immediately ran forward a few steps and stepped on the ground, then found a place to sit down, and said with a smile: "You all feel tired too, let's take a rest."

Xianglin suddenly pointed at him in dissatisfaction and shouted: "How many times have you rested! Like you, even if you go to the northern base, you will have to die!"

"Well... I've only seen its location on the map," Shuiyue took a sip of water indifferently, "Is it really that dangerous?"

"The northern base is not an ordinary stronghold." Xiang Lin paused, and his expression became serious. "It's a human testing ground, and all the people that are contained there are...uncontrollable monsters born there."

Glancing at Shuiyue with complicated eyes, Xianglin frowned and said, "I don't know what your purpose is, but did you decide to let him be your companion after you really got to know Chonggo?"

"A little bit," Shuiyue casually sucked on the water bottle that was about to be empty, "I have fought against him, his ability is very interesting, and his strength is also very strong, but I don't like his kind who don't know what he is doing. What does it feel like to think?"

Raising his eyes to look at Kaorin with a dignified face, Suigetsu raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I heard that guy was sent to Dashewan himself to catch him. It seems that he has a brain problem."

"..." Xianglin put her hands on her hips, "Do you know why?"

"I don't know," Shuiyue spread her hands indifferently, "I'm probably being stupid."

Hitomi, who woke up in a daze, heard that Xianglin was talking about something she couldn't understand again, about body fluids, about enzymes, she rubbed her eyes, opened her mouth and let out a big yawn.

"If you say that, you should know it? That's... the curse mark." Xiang Lin said with a sullen face.

Slightly shifting his gaze to look at the back of his neck, Sasuke found that Hitomi, who was sleeping on his lap, had woken up, and patted her on the head to comfort her, and then heard Xianglin continue to say: "Jougo, it is the seal of the curse." the origin."

"Curse seal...?" Hitomi subconsciously looked at the back of Sasuke's neck. There were three black jade-like marks there. Occasionally, when Sasuke was practicing, a large number of curse marks would spread from there, which felt very bad. At this time , Sasuke's whole body will undergo great changes, and he is no longer human.

After walking a long way, Shuiyue found a place to sit down out of breath: "Let's rest for a while before leaving."

"Huh? Shuiyue, why are you resting endlessly! We've arrived!" Xiang Lin pointed at the knife behind him and shouted, "Is it because the knife is too heavy? Throw it away!"

Hitomi stood beside Sasuke silently staring at the dying person lying on the ground in front of him, pointed at him and asked Sasuke, "Is he dying?"

"There is still a breath," Sasuke knelt down and asked him, frowning, "What happened?"

The man was breathing hard, and his eyes slowly moved to Sasuke: "You...you are Uchiha Sasuke...help us..."

Xianglin and Shuiyue at the back also gathered around curiously: "What's going on?"

"O-Oshemaru's death... triggered a... riot among the prisoners..." He took a big breath, and struggled to utter a few words, "This, if this goes on..."

The words came to an abrupt end, and his hand dropped to the ground so weakly, Tong Tong tilted his head and looked at him: "Ah... dead?"

At this moment, Xianglin suddenly raised his head and looked up: "Something is coming!"

As her words fell, a strange monster-like person jumped down from the top of the mountain. When it landed on the ground, the violent impact cracked the ground, and the gravel flew around with the air current. Go, that monster-like person narrowed his eyes and looked at Sasuke: "You are..."

Sasuke's figure disappeared from the spot almost instantly, and when he reappeared, a large wound had been drawn on the chest of the monster, and the curse mark quickly degraded from his body, and soon became the body of an ordinary person. look.

Putting the Kusanagi sword back into the scabbard familiarly, Sasuke raised his foot and walked forward: "The northern base is ahead, let's go find Chonggo."

Hitomi looked curiously at the man whose spell had faded and turned into an ordinary person, and said to himself, "He's not dead."

Shuiyue, with her hands resting on her head, walked past Hitomi, and glanced at the man who fell on the ground: "Hmph, Sasuke is a ninja from Konoha after all, so naive."

All the guards in the northern base area were killed, and the prisoners all escaped just as the person said before, and all the people standing in front of them at this time were monster-like people of different shapes, although Everyone grows up differently, but they can't see their true colors at all.

Suigetsu looked at these people with some trouble: "How can you tell who is Shigego, Sasuke?"

Sasuke immediately looked at Karin: "Karin, is Shigego in here?"

"It's so noisy, wait for a while," Xianglin frowned and stretched out two fingers, closed his eyes to perceive seriously, and then opened his eyes, "Cut...no."

"Oh? Then you don't have to be polite." Suigetsu smiled and pulled out the beheading sword from behind, and then heard Sasuke say beside her, "Don't kill me."

"..." Dead fish glanced at Sasuke, Suigetsu scratched his head helplessly, "Okay."

None of the three noticed, and Hitomi, who followed them silently, disappeared at some point, or whether it was because her speed was different from ordinary people, or because she couldn't be sensed without Chakra.

Walking in the deathly silent passage, Hitomi walked along the familiar feeling, and then stopped in front of a locked iron door.

Someone was locked inside, and the familiar feeling became stronger for a while, and then weakened for a while, which was similar to the familiar feeling that Haruka met in the forest that day, no, it could be said to be much worse.

For Haruka, she felt that she had known each other, so she wanted to get close, but this was probably because she and she were of the same kind.As for the person locked in the room, that familiar feeling was exactly what she had felt in the state of the beast...a strong desire to kill.

Before she met Sasuke, she couldn't control herself in the imitation beast state. It seemed that even her ability to think was taken away, and only the thought of tearing everyone she saw was left in her mind. Scarlet and warm Blood can even stimulate her ever-expanding desire to kill. If this desire is not satisfied, she cannot stop the urge to kill.

So during the full moon, Orochimaru usually locks her in an airtight room, and then puts a dozen shackles on her, but it is not very useful, it can only delay time for her As a result, in the state of the pseudo-beast, she completely ignores the iron gate, and can completely destroy it without a few blows.

And all this changed after meeting Sasuke. His Sharingan can calm himself down, so Hitomi hasn't felt that familiar and strong desire to kill for a long time. When she was standing at the door just now, she instantly felt To the source of everything, right here.

It must be resolved, this guy is too dangerous.

After hesitating for a while, she stretched out her hand and pulled open the first lock on the iron door. The heavy iron lock made a harsh friction sound, followed by the second lock. At this moment, she keenly heard that there seemed to be a slight movement in the room. voice.

Across an iron gate, the originally modest voice sounded even more indistinct. Hitomi put her ears on the iron gate and listened carefully, but she couldn't hear clearly what the person inside had been muttering in a low voice.

When opening the third lock, Tong was stunned. She found that to open the last lock of this door, she had to need a key, but she didn't have one, and she had no idea where to find the key.

Standing helplessly in front of the iron gate, just when she was hesitating whether she should turn back to find Sasuke, footsteps came from the end of the passage, Hitomi turned her head to the side, and met the sight of Sasuke who came out of the corner, but did not I don't know why, only Sasuke and Xianglin came, and Suigetsu disappeared.

Seeing Hitomi standing blankly in front of a door, Sasuke froze, then quickly walked up to her, and asked her in a low voice: "Why did you leave without authorization?"

Regarding Hitomi's behavior of running away without saying hello, Sasuke seemed to be in a very bad mood, his whole face was gloomy, and he stared at her coldly.

"Uh..." Tong subconsciously pointed at the iron door, "Inside..."

Before she finished speaking, Xiang Lin frowned and adjusted her glasses, pointed to the door and said in a low voice, "Chongwu is right there!"
