[Hokage] Sasuke-kun's Melancholy

"Two weeks..." Shuiyue opened the book again, her eyes quickly scanned the yellowed pages, her expression was anxious as if she was looking for something, "Then...then do you have any strange feelings recently? For example, you feel very Tired, want to sleep or something?"

"It's really easy to get sleepy these days..." Hitomi tilted her head and thought for a while, "Sometimes I can fall asleep while sitting."

"...Sure enough," Shuiyue's face darkened, her hands tightly clutching the already somewhat tattered documents, "so the next two weeks will be unconscious, with muscle atrophy, organ failure, and finally..."

"What happened in the end?" Hitomi asked curiously.

Shuiyue didn't answer her, but pursed her lips tightly, then closed the book, and forced a dry smile at her: "Nothing, I'm talking nonsense."

"Shuiyue, your smile is so ugly." Hitomi blinked at him.

"...Really?" Shuiyue uncharacteristically did not argue with her, but put away the book and walked out with a heavy expression, "It seems that we have to find Sasuke as soon as possible...Damn it, that bastard!"

Hitomi didn't understand why Shuiyue had such a sudden reaction, she stepped over the unconscious Chongwu and followed Shuiyue's footsteps: "What was written on it?"

"There's nothing there," Shuiyue twitched her lips, "I just feel... a little shocked about some of the research materials left by Orochimaru."

Hitomi nodded half-understood, then opened her mouth and yawned big: "I want to sleep..."

"Hey, let's go first and go find Sasuke, okay?" Shuiyue seemed to be trying hard to show a gentle expression, but all kinds of complicated emotions were mixed, making his face look more like a threat, "If If you are sleepy, I will carry you to sleep on the way."

Hitomi lowered her head in silence, and asked with some confidence: "Sasuke... really won't be angry?"

"No," Shuiyue said through gritted teeth, "...if he dares to get angry, I will definitely beat him up."

"But Suigetsu, you can't beat Sasuke." Hitomi pointed out mercilessly.

"Hitomi, shouldn't you cheer me up at this time?" Shuiyue smiled helplessly, but clenched her hands tightly, and anger gradually grew in her always smiling eyes, "Even if it is for you……"

Seeing Hitomi's dazed expression from the corner of the eye, Shuiyue's tense body loosened abruptly, she couldn't help reaching out and rubbing Hitomi's head: "Okay, go back and pack your things, we're leaving here."

With the experience of being alone last time, Hitomi brought everything she could possibly need this time, and ended up stuffing a big bag full, Shuiyue looked at the bag behind Hitomi speechlessly, which was bigger than her whole body: "Are you sure you want to bring so much?"

"Of course, these are things that may be used." Hitomi's expression was extremely serious, and she didn't mean to be joking at all.

"But, bring so many..." Shuiyue compared the size of the package again, and said in an exaggerated tone, "It's almost twice your size."

"It's okay! It's still very easy for Hitomi to carry it!"

...I'm not asking you this, hey.

Shuiyue was still wondering how to get Hitomi to give up such a big package. Chonggo had already walked over and unwrapped the package from behind her. Carrying it on my body: "It's too heavy for a girl, let me do it."

Hitomi immediately nodded happily: "Thank you Chongwu!"

Shuiyue: "..."

Forget it, let her go.

However, in the absence of news at all, trying to find someone in the huge ninja world is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. What's more, it is now a time of war outside, everyone is in panic, and the tavern has long been empty. There is simply no place to inquire about the news.

The brown eagle swooped down from the air, slowed down and landed on the back of Chongwu's hand, and then honked a few times in a low voice. Chongwu was stunned, then nodded, and the eagle flapped its wings and flew away.

"Any news?" Shuiyue glanced at his surprised expression, "Have you got bad news?"

"Yes, there is...but," Chong Wu frowned, "it's not Sasuke's news, but Itachi's news."

"Huh?" Shuiyue was stunned, "Isn't he dead?"

"Itachi?" Hitomi, who had been sluggish all this time, suddenly raised his head, as if instantly full of energy, "Any news about him?"

"I found his trace in Konoha." Chongwu looked a little hesitant, "And, he is still with a girl."

"That's right!" Hitomi became happy instead, "It must be Haruka!"

"What's the situation?" Suigetsu didn't understand the situation at all, "Didn't Itachi be killed by Sasuke? Shigeo, are you sure?"

Zhongwu nodded: "It can't be wrong."

"..." Shuiyue supported her forehead with a headache, and couldn't help complaining in a low voice, "What is this all about? Then why did Sasuke do everything!"

Hitomi suddenly realized at this moment, yes, isn't the reason why Sasuke became so strange is because Itachi died?Although he didn't believe what he said before, but if he could meet Itachi... Maybe he would change back to the original Sasuke?

The more I thought about it, the more feasible it became. Hitomi tugged on Shuiyue's clothes: "Shuiyue, let's go to Itachi first."

How can I find Itachi, the most important thing is to find Sasuke first!

Shuiyue, who just wanted to say no, lowered her head and faced Shangtong's big bright eyes full of expectation. He was stunned for a while, and the "no" that had reached the throat was swallowed back abruptly by him: "...Okay."

...Damn it, I am so unprincipled.

"But as soon as possible," Shuiyue frowned and looked at Tong earnestly, "We don't have much time."

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, then shifted their eyes to Chongwu in unison, Chongwu was silent for a while, nodded and said: "I will try my best."

Compared with the aimless wandering before, after finding the target, their actions were obviously much faster, and it didn't take long for them to arrive in the territory of the Fire Kingdom, which is where the Itachi said in the news appeared.

This is just an ordinary town, and because of the war, the wide streets look very deserted now, only a few people hurried past with heavy expressions.

"...Here?" Hitomi looked around while walking on the street, "There is no one at all."

"I can't help it, it's a war right now," Shuiyue took out a water bottle and took a sip of water, spread her hands and said, "Everyone is busy saving their lives."

Hitomi silently glanced around the deserted street, could they really find Itachi here?

"Ah, is it Hitomi?"

The sudden female voice from behind made Tong stunned, she turned her head quickly, and standing behind her was Yao who was carrying a large basket of vegetables.

Her short silver hair seems to be a little longer than before, and the ends of her hair are still curled playfully. Her big blue eyes looked at Hitomi with a smile: "It really is you, long time no see."

"... Haruka?" Hitomi blinked, then opened her eyes wide in surprise, and happily ran towards Haruka, threw herself into her arms, and hugged Yao's neck tightly, "Hitomi is good!" happy!"

"Ahaha," Haruka took a step back when she was rushed, and touched her head with a smile, "Why are you here, where is Sasuke?"

At the mention of Sasuke, Hitomi's smiling face froze, and she let go of Haruka uncomfortably, and looked away from her, and then tried to change the subject: "Haru... are you with Itachi now?"

"Yeah," Haruka paused, narrowing his eyes slightly to look at Hitomi who dared not look directly at her, "Did something happen between you and Sasuke?"

"Uh..." Hitomi lowered his head and looked at his toes with some guilt, and said in a low voice, "This... Sasuke... said he doesn't want to see Hitomi anymore..."

"What did you say?!"

Haruka pressed her shoulder in shock, with an unbelievable expression mixed with anger, and almost yelled at her: "Say it again!"

I have never seen Yaoyou look so excited before, Tong was frightened by her, he was stunned for a long time before asking blankly: "... What's wrong?"

Yao took two deep breaths slowly, trying to calm down his over-excited emotions, looked at her nervously and asked, "How long? How long has it been since then?"

how long?Is it the day she and Sasuke left?Hitomi thought about it for a while, and answered with some uncertainty: "It's almost...it's been more than two weeks..."

Speaking of which, Shuiyue seems to have asked a similar question that day, and was as excited as Haruka, so is there any problem here?

"...Asshole," Haruka said through gritted teeth, with a vicious expression on his face, "If I see him, I will beat him up!"

...I always feel that Suigetsu seems to have said something similar.

"So what happened?" Hitomi asked suspiciously, "Is there something wrong?"

"...Nothing." Haruka's gloomy expression just now was replaced with a gentle smile, "Speaking of which, Hitomi will appear in this remote town, she probably didn't come to relax, did she come to see me? Or... looking for Itachi?"

Hitomi nodded honestly: "We are here to find Itachi."

"Us?" Haruka noticed Shuiyue and Shigego who had been neglected by her for a long time, and nodded symbolically as a greeting, "Is that your companion?"

"...More or less." Hitomi hesitated to answer her. In fact, it should be said that she was Sasuke's companion, but the change in Haruka's attitude just now was too strong, which made her afraid to mention Sasuke lightly.

"Well, let's go, I'll take you to see Itachi," Yao said with a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of anger, which made people feel shuddering, "and let him know what his stupid brother has done .”
