The reason why Uchiha Sasuke ate instant noodles was because he didn't mean to trouble his stomach, but he really didn't have much of an appetite. And he himself didn't have much love for instant noodles, he just thought it was convenient to keep him full, that's all.

Oh, and there are many flavors.

For example, the box in front of him was tomato-flavored.

Xiang Rin, who was at odds with him, had been brought back by Shui Yue and Chong Wu, but she was still angrily refusing to talk to him, threatening that if he didn't change his outrageous idea as soon as possible, she would stop talking to him.

What a non-threatening statement.

However, it also fully demonstrated her angry attitude and her inability to deal with him.

He won't argue with Xianglin, because in the final analysis, this matter may be his personal responsibility from beginning to end.

At noon...

Thanks to a certain dog, he belatedly realized that he should have lunch at that time. After rejecting the "delicious chicken soup pot", although he was a little hungry, he had no appetite.

If it were before... well, before he picked up someone, he would simply stay hungry until he had an appetite or was so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore. However, now he is used to having three fixed meals, whether he wants to or not.

Do you have an appetite to eat?

I don’t know whether to say that getting used to it is scary, or... her contagiousness and “taming power” are scary.

After that, he declined Suigetsu's invitation to have dinner together, because he really didn't want to talk about what was and was not, and it was meaningless. To avoid trouble, after refusing, he simply jumped out of the window and left, wandering aimlessly on the streets of Konoha.

After walking around for a while, I finally walked into a small supermarket and bought a bucket of tomato-flavored instant noodles.

This brand was enthusiastically recommended to Naruto by that guy before, saying, "I have personally tasted it, and the taste is absolutely guaranteed! Sasuke, you will never be disappointed after trying it!", but now that I have tasted it, it is... okay.

I don't know if he is too picky, or if Naruto is too tolerant of instant noodles.

In short, after reluctantly eating a few mouthfuls, he really didn't want to eat anymore. Based on the foolish principle of "even one bite is considered a meal", he stood up and disposed of the remaining noodles and noodle soup. He opened the window and prepared

When the unpleasant smell of instant noodles was gone, she came back.

"..."

As soon as Uchiha opened the door and entered, she smelled the smell of instant noodles throughout the room. She subconsciously asked: "Sasuke, did you eat instant noodles for lunch?"

"……Um."

"Are you so busy? You can't even eat well." Uchiha said with a little worry, "Is there anything else you have to do in the afternoon?"

"No."

"Since you have time in the afternoon, let's have some good food." Uchiha said helplessly, "Where are Suigetsu and the others?"

"have no idea."

"Hey? Aren't you together? How could..."

"Have you asked enough?" Uchiha Sasuke said coldly, "Don't ask questions all at once just after you come back. It will be very annoying."

"..." Uchiha's eyes widened and he stood there a little at a loss. She could see and hear that the mood of the person in front of her was not good, but the problem was...she had done something wrong.

Or was it that something happened while she was away that made Sasuke unhappy?

Uchiha Sasuke regretted it almost immediately. He thought: What am I doing? What immoral thing am I doing? She did nothing wrong. I asked her to go out, but I said random things to her.

What temper?

He quickly stepped forward to apologize, but he smelled the rich aroma of chicken soup on her sleeves while eating.

Eating such richly fragrant food in a closed private room in winter is an inevitable result of the smell being stained on her clothes. And she came back too quickly, so the cold winter wind didn't have time to blow away all the smell from her body.

"..." The boy suddenly remembered what happened before, and suddenly he didn't want to apologize. Instead, he deliberately asked, "Is the food Kakashi-sensei invited you to eat at noon delicious?"

"Ah?" After Uchiha was stunned for a moment, he nodded honestly and said, "It's delicious. It's the second best thing to the food I've eaten since coming to Konoha, second only to Kankuri's red bean cake. Sasuke, if you have time,

Let’s all go eat together! It tastes really good!”

He actually knew that she had no other intentions, she just wanted to share the good things she knew with them from the bottom of her heart.

However, at this moment, he did feel...

Her smile was so dazzling.

"No need." So he replied coldly again, "I'm not interested, you can find someone else. If Suigetsu and the others are not willing, I think Kakashi-sensei will definitely be willing to accompany you for the second and third time." Or even.

more times.

"Kakashi-sensei is a very powerful and very busy Hokage," Uchiha replied with a smile, "How could he be so free..."

"Is it amazing?" Uchiha Sasuke interrupted her again, because the admiration in her words and the admiration in her eyes stung his heart and his self-esteem a little.

He was sure that this was not an illusion. She really liked to admire that person, after only "acquainting" him for a short few years. However, she had never shown such a look to him. Instead, she unconsciously showed her "elder's look" in front of him.

conscious".

...What is this?

In many aspects, he has already surpassed Kakashi-sensei, right?

"...Huh? What?" Uchiha Oichi didn't understand the meaning of the words of the person in front of him for a moment, and asked subconsciously.

"Isn't it amazing? The so-called 'shadows'." Uchiha Sasuke sneered, "On the battlefield of the Fourth War, those so-called 'shadows' were in such a miserable state." Maybe it's really not good to say this, but in terms of strength,

To be honest, this young man who is only seventeen years old is indeed qualified to look down on the world.

Because he himself is a super movie star.

"It has nothing to do with being a 'shadow' or not. The most powerful one is Kakashi-sensei himself, right?" The Uchiha frowned slightly, realizing that the mood of the person in front of him was indeed not quite right. What on earth is this...?

"His strongest moment was on the battlefield of the Fourth War," Uchiha Sasuke raised his lips slightly, "when he used Uchiha Obito's eyes."

"...Uchiha...Obito?" Uchiha Obito was stunned, "Didn't he already...how could he be on the battlefield of the Fourth War? What the hell..."

"But now, he has lost those powerful Uchiha eyes and can no longer borrow the power of Uchiha." Uchiha Sasuke said with a sneer.

"...So?" Uchiha asked with a slight frown, "Do you want to prove that Kakashi-sensei is no longer powerful after losing his Uchiha eyes? Apart from anything else," she said seriously

, "That is your teacher after all, Sasuke. I think you should have the most basic respect for him." Thinking of what Kakashi-sensei had told her before, she felt that the person in front of her was somewhat...

The boy, who was already a little emotionally unbalanced, subconsciously replied: "If you like it, just like it. If you respect it, respect it by yourself. If you want to get close to it, just get close to it. Don't pull me in. Don't make decisions for my life without authorization. You

You don’t have this qualification!”

"..."

After these words, neither of them spoke, they just looked at each other silently, neither of them giving in.

After a moment of silence...

Uchiha took a deep breath and nodded slowly: "Okay, I understand."

"...what do you know?"

"I know you are in a bad mood right now, and this is not the right time for us to talk. So, let's stop here." After that, Uchiha nodded, turned around and left without any hesitation -

If you stay any longer and keep talking, the two of them may really have a quarrel.

Therefore, she had to quickly find other people to ask what was wrong with Sasuke and whether something difficult had happened. If so, she had to work hard to help him solve it.

Arguing is meaningless and hurts feelings.

With the sound of the door closing...

Uchiha Sasuke raised his fist and slammed it on the table in the room.

……hateful!

He was not angry with her, but with himself. He had obviously made up his mind many times and reached out to push her away. However, as long as he thought of her leaving him and walking towards another person, he still...

…

Very angry.

Very angry.

Maybe I felt a little sorry for Naruto, but I really wanted to drag him into a good fight. It would be best if the two of them were so angry that their arms would be broken.

...You should apologize.

In the final analysis, from beginning to end, he was just losing his temper and being weird, and he really didn't respect Kakashi-sensei who always had his best interests in mind.

No wonder she would rarely leave in anger.

Should I apologize?

Or simply...just like this, let her know that he is really bad, so he should go away quickly, stay away quickly, and go to someone with a better temper.

Don't come back.

...Is it necessary to leave so quickly?

No, this is a good thing.

but……

The young man closed his eyes, feeling confused and confused.

On the other side…

With a sullen face and pursed lips, the Uchiha boy walked out with worry, but he bumped into the owner of this territory.
