Uchiha Sasuke's attitude was obviously not very good... well, it was very bad, but Orochimaru still generously allowed them to stay. On a sadder level, he should be used to it.

After all, during those years in the Snake Cave, it seemed that Sasuke Uchiha was living under someone else's roof, but this "young master Uchiha" always turned his back on his guests and was never polite to Orochimaru and his group.

Of course, there is no need to say that Orochimaru is magnanimous or takes care of his children. After all, in his eyes at the time, Uchiha Sasuke was the one who helped him "take care of his future body", so he naturally indulged and fed the latter in every possible way. And in his

After hard work, the weight of a certain boy in the Snake Cave in those years...

It also successfully reached the highest level in history.

Directly changed from Sasuke to Genzuo and Riki.

Fortunately, the excellent genes inherited from Uchiha Mikoto exerted decisive force after the boy killed someone, and successfully transformed him from a "slightly fat handsome boy" back to a "standard handsome boy".

Incidentally, it also saved my clothing taste.

Strictly speaking, Orochimaru has never pursued "material desires", so his current residence in the laboratory is also quite simple, belonging to the type of "a sparrow is small and has all the internal organs, but not much more". Fortunately,

Because this laboratory is not underground, the lighting conditions in the room are okay.

The three members of Team Eagle lived in the same room, and it happened that the room next to Xianglin was also vacant, so after they said hello to Orochimaru, they took Uchiha there.

Uchiha Sasuke casually pushed open the room and found that although individual parts were different, the basic structure inside was the same as when he was in the Snake Cave.

"You guys go back and rest first." He said to Kiden Suigetsu and the other three, "I'll help her check the room, and then go to Naruto's place."

"There's no need to go." Xiang Rin pouted, "I won't be able to sleep well if I can't feel Sasuke's breath at night."

Uchiha Sasuke: "..." Please don't take such perverted words for granted - even though we have known each other for so long, he is still a little maladaptive. Especially, he is in a different state now than he was back then, when he had nothing but revenge.

I don't care about anything else. I can still listen to what others say to some extent and my basic common sense has returned.

"It's not good if you don't sleep well at night. You'll be in bad spirits tomorrow." Uchiha said worriedly, then he easily pulled up the sleeves of the boy next to him, put his hand in and started to take out something, "What do you want?"

Don't try carrying Sasuke's handkerchief with you? Maybe it will have a substitute effect."

"Okay, okay! I'm going to cover my face with it all night long!" Xianglin suddenly smiled and thought to herself - hum, it's not in vain that I'm so nice to you, you know how to repay kindness~

Then Kiden Suigetsu and Chonggo only heard two "dong dong" sounds, and then the two girls turned into "teary cat heads" together.

Uchiha Sasuke withdrew his hand with a dark face: "Be normal."

Uchiha puffed up his face.

Xianglin showed a dissatisfied and resentful expression.

"Okay, okay~" Gui Deng Shuiyue raised his hand and grabbed his friend's collar, "Let's go rest." Then he dragged Xiang Lin away.

Chonggo who followed closely behind closed the door very considerately, leaving the space in the room for the two of them.

Uchiha Sasuke looked at someone who was still rubbing her head silently with a slightly swollen face. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Does it hurt?" He remembered that the force he used was not very strong, or that her head was too fragile.

Already?

Uchiha didn't say anything, just looked at him eagerly.

"..." After a short silence, the young man sighed as if giving up, walked over, raised his right hand and touched her head, "Okay, this time... I was too strong, I will pay attention next time

That's it." Really, saying she is fifteen is a lie. She is...at this age, and even older than her. Can she be more mature and not act like a childish brat?

"Hmm~" Uchiha nodded happily halfway, then realized something was wrong, "Hashido sack! Shouldn't it be 'there won't be a next time'? Why just use less force next time!"

"Then can you guarantee that you will never make another mistake?" Uchiha Sasuke asked with raised eyebrows.

"..." Ochiha was speechless for a moment, and then decided to forget the topic happily~ Then she happily began to observe the internal structure of the room. She quickly looked around the small room, and finally she stood

He pushed open the window and looked at the scene outside the window curiously, "Sasuke, did you live in a similar room in the past?"

"Almost." Uchiha Sasuke, who helped check the entire room and confirmed that there was nothing wrong, walked to the bed and sat down on the edge of the bed habitually - in those nights when he was full of hatred and alone, he replied

If there is nothing else to do after bed, I will sit by the bed or against the wall on the bed. I will sit there for a long time and will not lie down until I feel sleepy.

"Is that so..." A gust of cold wind blew, and she quickly closed the window.

"how?"

"...No, I just subconsciously felt that Sasuke wouldn't like this kind of place."

"oh?"

"Because," Uchiha also walked to the bedside, sat down next to the boy, and said with a sideways smile, "Sasuke, you are more like an eagle than a snake. It's hard to imagine that you like dark, damp and cramped places.

Well. The vast sky is where the eagle belongs. So, those few years..." She raised her hand and slowly placed it on the hand of the person next to her that was resting on the edge of the bed, "It must have been very hard."

Her eyes were gentle and soft, full of understanding and distress.

"..." Uchiha Sasuke was silent for a moment, and then he turned over his hand slightly. He originally wanted to hold her whole hand, but suddenly stopped, and in the end, he only held one or two of her fingers.

. He whispered, "At that time, I was only interested in pursuing power, and I didn't really care about other things."

"Even so, it doesn't affect personal preferences." She smiled and shook the hands of others, "So, if you don't like living here, let's find another place to live. I mean all of us, bring

Xianglin and the others are together."

"...It's not that troublesome." Uchiha Sasuke replied softly, "It's just a temporary residence anyway."

"Okay." Uchiha smiled, "But if you want to do this, you can tell us at any time, and everyone will be with you~"

"……Um."

Uchiha Sasuke was silent again, and then said: "Orochimaru... Although he is not your opponent, he should not attack you without authorization, but you must be careful not to be deceived by his words. It is best to listen.

Don’t even listen.”

Based on the experiences in those memories, she was very wary of Orochimaru because she could easily be abducted. However, Orochimaru, who was very experienced in abducting people and was really good at abducting people, could not abduct her... he could only

It is said that he was born to have a grudge in his previous life.

From a species perspective, Orochimaru is a snake that seems to be naturally defeated by cats, and has little chance of winning if it encounters it.

…

In any sense, he didn't need to worry too much.

However, he still felt uneasy about leaving her alone.

It's just that you have to get used to it sooner or later.

"Yeah, yeah." Uchiha nodded vigorously, "I see that that guy is not a good person. Don't worry," she raised her fist in a particularly reliable manner, "If he dares to talk to me without authorization, I will beat him!"

Uchiha Sasuke: "..." Is it reasonable for you to live in someone else's house and still treat the owner like this?

But when I think carefully about my behavior back then, I even directly "killed" my master "Yang".

I immediately felt that this was very reasonable.

"Don't wander around here alone," he continued, "If you are really curious, let Shuiyue and the others take you, or wait for me to come back. Especially, don't enter that guy's laboratory without permission, it is his home field. Although

Now he is nominally restricted by Konoha, but who knows how many things are hidden behind his back, especially since he has survived the four wars alive and knows many secrets."

"Yeah, yeah." Uchiha nodded again and assured, "Don't worry, I will listen to you. I won't go out tonight. I will take a shower and go to bed later. Then when I wake up tomorrow morning, I will go out to find you with Xiang Rin and the others."

"Hmm." Uchiha Sasuke thought for a while and felt that there was nothing more to tell him. Although this guy is a fool now, he still has no problem taking care of his own basic life.

Then, it's time for him to leave.

I hope that Naruto hasn't returned yet when he "comes to visit".

Otherwise, he would really despise that idiot - you agree with me, the teachers on both sides support it, Naruto's father seems to agree, and Sakura's parents have no reason to object. No matter how you look at it, it's just "no more."

It’s just a question of “take a few steps forward”.

Uzumaki Naruto shouldn't lack such courage.

In particular, there were some things that Sakura should have made clear to him.

With this thought, he was about to stand up when he saw the person next to him giving him a small cute smile and she said——

"So, it's my turn?"

"Varied……"

Before he finished speaking, the person next to him hugged him.

"Sasuke, you should also pay attention."

"...Is there anything I need to be careful about?" Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help laughing, "I'm going to Naruto." If even Naruto can't be trusted, then this world may have really lost its most basic meaning.

Come on...

"Of course I know that Naruto-kun is trustworthy, and I definitely have no intention of doubting him." Uchiha raised his hand, gently stroked the boy's short hair, and said softly, "It's just from the heart, subconsciously.

It’s just worry. After all, we have never been separated - it was like this after I lost my memory, and it should be like this before I lost my memory? So, it is natural to be worried..."

"..." No, we didn't know each other before you lost your memory. In other words, you didn't know me.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, they haven't known each other for too long.

Of course, no deep feelings were developed.

So, why bother to leave?

There is no need to be reluctant to leave.

Or not reluctant to leave at all.
To be continued...
