[Hokage] Sasuke-kun's Melancholy

Hitomi woke up from hunger.

When she rubbed her belly and opened her eyes, what came into view was not Orochimaru's room with a low ceiling. She sat up with her hands propped up on the bed, Hitomi froze for a moment, then subconsciously stretched out her hand, repeatedly spread her five fingers and shook them again. Tight, and then found that her strength had returned.

Glancing at the layout of the room, although there was a slight change, she still recognized that this was Sasuke's room.

But he is not there.

Hitomi crawled out of bed slowly with both hands and feet, and vaguely recalled in her mind that it seemed that Sasuke brought her back yesterday.

Although Sasuke finally brought her back, Hitomi is super happy now, but no one saw him, she only stayed in the room for 2 minutes before she started to fidget, opened the door frequently to wait and see, waiting to know When will Sasuke come back.

It didn't take long before she couldn't sit still anymore. When she opened the door to go out, she saw a familiar figure appearing at the other end of the passage from a distance, walking slowly towards her.

Sasuke had just turned a corner when he saw a black shadow rushing towards him from the corner of his eye. He subconsciously grasped the sword Orochimaru had just given him, but after seeing the face of the person who threw himself into his arms, Sasuke felt nervous. It dissipated in an instant, and then reached out and touched her head: "Is your body all right?"

"En! Hitomi has strength again!" She rubbed against Sasuke's arms, her eyes fell on the extra sword on Sasuke's side, "Ah, this is..."

"The Kusanagi sword," Sasuke explained patiently, "It's a good weapon that Orochimaru gave me."

"Uncle Snake..." Hitomi tilted her head, looking at Sasuke's mouth twitching suddenly inexplicably, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing." Sasuke turned his head silently, he didn't want to admit that when Hitomi called Uncle Snake, something inexplicable swiped his mind.

"Then, is Hitomi a good weapon too?" Hitomi blinked her big eyes and looked at Sasuke expectantly, as if expecting him to answer "Yes", Sasuke was startled, lowered his head and looked at her silently, brown hair Eyes, like shoulder-length short hair specially cut short, the appearance of Hitomi looks no different from that of human beings. If there is any difference between her and human beings, it is only that she will change in the mimic state. Of course, the danger It is also doubled.

Sasuke patted her head with his hand, and said as if to affirm something: "You are not a weapon, but a 'human'."

"Human?..." There was a trace of confusion in Hitomi's eyes, "What Sasuke needs...is me as a 'weapon', or me as a 'human'?"

"..." Sasuke frowned slightly, "As long as it doesn't hinder my path, I..."

I don't need you as any character.

He wanted to say this, but looking at Hitomi's innocent eyes, he suddenly couldn't speak, and he pursed his mouth uncomfortably. Sasuke lifted his feet and walked to the room. Hitomi immediately followed his footsteps, and then happily Eyes bent.

Since Sasuke got the Kusanagi sword from Orochimaru, his love for the sword has skyrocketed, so Hitomi can often see Sasuke wiping the Kusanagi sword in the room. Sasuke never leaves his hand during training, even when sleeping, The sword is also within his reach.

hateful!A mere sword is actually closer to Sasuke than her!

Sasuke won't let her go to his bed!

Hitomi stared angrily at the Kusanagi sword in Sasuke's hand, his eyes could pierce that poor sword, Sasuke finally couldn't ignore her too hot gaze, stopped his movements and asked: "What's wrong with you? "

"Hitomi is also a very powerful weapon!" Hitomi said a little unconvinced, "Look if you don't believe me!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and scratched the table where the candlesticks were placed. The sound of the air being split could be clearly heard where the hand passed. It slowly split in two and fell to the left and right sides. The candlestick also fell to the ground with a snap, and slowly rolled to Sasuke's feet.

Sasuke: "..."

Hitomi raised her head and said with a little pride, "Sasuke, Hitomi is sharper than that sword."

Sasuke was silent for a while, then lowered his head and continued to carefully wipe the sword in his hand. There was no response to her words, which made Hitomi feel uneasy for no reason. She opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't say anything. After coming out, he lowered his head and twisted his fingers in a helpless manner, and finally moved to Sasuke's side, and said nervously, "Did I do something wrong again..."

"..." Sasuke sighed softly when he heard the words, and then put away the Kusanagi sword, "I said before, you are not a weapon, and you should stop treating yourself as a weapon."

Hitomi was stunned, unable to understand why Sasuke thought she was not a weapon, but after Sasuke said so, she nodded vigorously, then tilted her head and asked, "Then, what am I Sasuke's?"

... His what?

Even Sasuke himself didn't know, he just didn't want anyone to die because of him, so he acquiesced that Hitomi stayed by his side, but he never thought deeply about what Hitomi meant to him.

If I have to say it, it feels more like a kitten raised at home in the past.

Sasuke lowered his eyes to look at Hitomi with shining eyes, obviously she was looking forward to his answer very much, probably no matter what he answered, she would be very happy, and she would also consider herself as such in the future: "Hitomi is mine..."

Hitomi's eyes widened slightly, his hands were unconsciously clenched in front of him, and his eyes were fixed on Sasuke's opening and closing mouth.

But his words stopped abruptly, Sasuke's eyes were blank for a few seconds, then he frowned tightly, and his tone became cold instantly: "I don't need extra fetters, you are... no."

Glancing at Hitomi who obviously didn't react, Sasuke snorted again, "Since you want to follow me unilaterally, you should be mentally prepared for this."

"Okay, okay." Hitomi nodded in a daze, but she didn't show any disappointment. She still couldn't understand what Sasuke meant by bondage.

Even so, Hitomi was still depressed looking at the Kusanagi sword in Sasuke's hand, why in Sasuke's heart, he was not as good as that sword?Is it because you are not sharp enough?

However, what she didn't know was that in Sasuke's heart, she didn't exist as a weapon, but she didn't have the consciousness of being a "human", nor did she have the logic and three views that human beings should have.

"Sure enough, Hitomi is still too weak," Hitomi blinked, then clenched her fists violently, with a look of hard work on her face, and said with high morale, "I will continue to work hard!"

...I always feel that she seems to have misunderstood something, but Sasuke didn't bother to explain it clearly to her, he just walked towards the training ground.

Orochimaru seems to understand his current situation very well. The strength of the experimental subjects sent is often just enough for him to defeat without using the curse seal, but he no longer surpasses it, probably because he wants his strength to be fully utilized. To the edge of launching the curse seal, so that he can more freely control the appearance of the curse seal.

But the current experimental subjects can no longer satisfy him. He can easily deal with these people without even opening Sharingan. Although the number is increasing, the quality is still unsatisfactory as before.

Taking a sideways glance at Hitomi, who was silently sitting by the wall with her legs crossed and watching him practice, Sasuke suddenly remembered her extraordinary speed and strength, as well as the words Orochimaru once said to him:

"Isn't my most powerful experimental subject right in front of your eyes?"

The most powerful...

Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly, he inserted the Kusanagi sword into the scabbard behind him with his backhand, and then beckoned to Hitomi, probably because Sasuke never paid much attention to her, when seeing his movements, Hitomi's eyes suddenly It was bright, and it was in front of Sasuke almost instantly: "I am here!"

Sure enough, the speed was quite fast. His naked eyes couldn't see the movement clearly, so he subconsciously activated Sharingan. Sasuke took several steps back, found a suitable distance, raised his head and said to her: "Use your fastest speed. come to me."

Hitomi carried out the order very thoroughly. Sasuke, who opened Sharingan, could only see her figure disappear in an instant, and even the afterimage could not be caught, and she had already appeared in front of his eyes. His hair was raised, Sasuke gritted his teeth, and cold sweat was already streaming down his forehead.

What is the speed that even Sharingan can't see clearly...

"Sasuke, isn't it fast enough?" Hitomi scratched her hair in distress, "This is already Hitomi's fastest speed..."

"...No, you did a good job," Sasuke raised the corner of his mouth, "I want your speed."

"Really?" Hitomi blinked, "Can I... help Sasuke?"

Her tone was cautious and full of anticipation, Sasuke was startled, subconsciously reached out to her, and then patted her head habitually: "Well, you helped me."

Hitomi was overjoyed when he heard this sentence, and jumped up happily on the spot, his pink cheeks were also stained with a little blush because of excitement: "Hitomi will continue to work hard in the future!"

...He should be the one who should work hard.

Although I don't quite understand Hitomi's logic, Sasuke can probably guess that what she values ​​is the feeling of being needed by him. This reminds Sasuke of the time when he was still in Konoha, when he met Hitomi during the mission of the wave country. No matter how much he is with Bai, Bai at that time seems to be using himself as a tool, as long as no longer needs him, that is the meaning of Bai's existence.

And now the meaning of his existence is for revenge.

As long as he could kill that man with his hands, he would not hesitate to make him pay any price.

Sasuke clenched the Kusanagi sword in his hand, and the red writing wheel looked at Hitomi in front of him: "I need to practice, use your fastest speed to attack me."

"...Attack?" Hitomi took a step back and shook his head decisively, "I'm sorry... Hitomi can't do this."
