The breeze blew through Naruto's hair. His hair was a little long, and it was a bit uncomfortable to cover his eyebrows.
Lifting his hair and rubbing his eyes, Naruto said, "Sister Xiyan, don't be sad. Brother Hayate asked me to take good care of you. Please eat at least a little."
Chapter 64 When is another day?
It was almost night, and the sky outside the window was glowing gray-blue, shining sadly through the curtains onto Mao Yue Xi Yan's face.
"Then eat some."
Mao Yue Xi Yan gave a bitter smile, then opened the lunch box, picked up the chopsticks and started eating in small bites.
But it really doesn't taste good.
"Yeah, I'm full." Mao Yue Xi Yan ate a little casually, then covered the lunch box and put it aside.
There were so many patients admitted to Konoha Hospital today that the hospital gown she was assigned did not fit her well. The buttons on her chest almost popped open when she moved her arms.
Naruto stared at her intently, but his expression was so deceptive that Uzuki Yugao did not feel any discomfort.
This kind of mature big sister is quite suitable for me.
"Sister Xiyan, is it delicious?" Naruto sat on the edge of the hospital bed and looked at her cheek gently.
"Well, it's pretty good." Mao Yue Xi Yan nodded slightly.
Time was moving, Naruto turned his head and looked at the wall clock with Xiyan.
When the second hand turned for the hundredth time, Xi Yan suddenly asked: "Naruto, how do you know me?"
"Haven't we known each other since the day we met?" Naruto said lightly.
"You mean, the time before the Chunin Exam? But I didn't communicate with you, so how did you know my name?" Xiyan asked puzzledly.
"Not that time."
Naruto pondered for a while, then said softly, "Hasn't Sister Xiyan protected me for a long time?"
Uzuki Yugao was surprised. Could it be that Naruto had discovered a long time ago that he had been spying on him?
"As for the name, it was told to me by Brother Hayate before he died." Naruto continued.
"What did he say to you?" Xiyan blinked suddenly and looked at Naruto infatuatedly.
"At that time, Brother Hayate was almost dying. He just simply asked me to protect you." Naruto said slowly.
This one sentence brought out Uzuki Yugao's pain, and the tears that had been accumulating in her eyelids for a long time burst out and flowed down her snow-white cheeks.
She could no longer control her sadness and began to cry quietly.
Naruto took her into his arms and said softly, "In fact, even if Brother Hayate doesn't say it, I will definitely take good care of Sister Xiyan. You have protected me for so long, it's my turn to protect you."
Uzuki Yugao rested her chin on Naruto's small shoulder, and her tears wet Naruto's clothes.
"Cry, you will feel much better after crying."
"Thank you, Naruto."
After about three to five minutes, the sobbing stopped, but Mao Yue Xi Yan's breathing had not yet stabilized and she was still gasping for breath.
Naruto pressed his face against her cheek, running his small hands down her back to calm her down.
After a while, the door of the ward was suddenly opened, and a blonde girl rushed into the room and saw this scene.
Ino was visibly stunned, and then the expression on her face froze.
Then, Choji and Shikamaru also entered the room and were also stunned.
Naruto and Xi Yan naturally noticed them as well.
Xi Yan raised her head, wiped away her tears with her sleeve, and said softly: "Naruto, your friends are here to see you, go play with them."
Why come at this time?
Naruto let go of Yugao's soft embrace which had a faint fragrance, got off the bed and looked at the three little ones, Ino, Deer and Chou.
"Why are you here?"
"Let's see if you're hurt," Choji said.
"Then come out and chat. Don't disturb Sister Xiyan's rest."
Naruto led the three people out of the ward. The corridor was full of pedestrians and doctors coming and going. Judging from the situation, Konoha Hospital would be overcrowded in the next few days.
I turned left at the stairs and went up to the rooftop with a group of four people.
As a rule, only the protagonist would come to the rooftop, so there would usually be no one there.
A few dark clouds floated across the sky. The previous heavy rain washed Konoha clean. If it weren't for the lingering smell of blood in the air and the unrepaired buildings in the distance, who would have thought that a series of battles had taken place here.
At this time, the news of the three generations' deaths in battle had spread.
The people in Konoha were in panic.
It's a good opportunity to do something small.
The three people, Ino, Shikamaru and Chou, behind them looked at each other, and finally the strong Ino pushed Shikamaru out to question him.
"Naruto, who was that beautiful older sister just now?" As soon as Shikamaru finished speaking, he was pinched by Ino and hissed in pain.
He added the word "beautiful".
"The ANBU have been guarding me for what must have been several years," Naruto stated bluntly.
"Ah." Shikamaru raised an eyebrow at Ino and continued with Naruto's words: "Then the relationship is similar to that of family members, right?"
If I can get it in the future, it will be true.
Naruto nodded, "About that."
"Huh~" Ino suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Noticing her expression, Shikamaru yawned deliberately and dragged Choji back: "You two can talk first. I heard that Sasuke and Kiba are also in the hospital. Choji and I have to go and see them."
"What? When did you two become so close to them?" Ino snorted softly.
When he heard this tone, Shikamaru knew he had done the right thing. It was the first time in his life that he had heard Ino's tone so gentle.
Naruto smiled faintly. These three little guys were quite interesting.
"How did you find me here?"
"Why did the shadow clone you left with us disappear?"
Ino asked back, walking over to Naruto and lying on the railing with him, turning her head to look at him.
"Well, I encountered some problems at that time, and it was lifted accidentally."
In fact, the Sarutobi clan's territory is too far away from the Death Forest, and Naruto's current strength is not enough to control the clone at such a long distance, so it was automatically released.
"It's good that nothing happened."
"Are you afraid that I'll get hurt?" Naruto chuckled and looked at Ino: "Didn't you say you would never forgive me?"
His scorching gaze made Ino's pretty face turn red.
"Hmm~" Ino buried her head in her arms and said in a muffled tone: "I just said those words in anger. Who allowed you to bully me?"
"What did you say?"
"Oh, you're so annoying, stop asking."
Ino wrinkled her little lips and nose and glared at Naruto.
"I'm sorry. I was wrong today." Naruto raised his hand to wipe the dirt off Ino's hair. "I'll treat you to a meal some other day to make amends to you three."
"What are you doing? You're touching me." Ino's face turned even redder. She pulled Naruto's hand away, lowered her eyes, and left quickly with an embarrassed look.
When she reached the stairs, she suddenly turned around, her eyes full of water: "What day do you mean by another day?"
Naruto raised his lips slightly: "How about the day after tomorrow?"
"Then I will consider whether to accept your apology the day after tomorrow. I'm going to look for Shikamaru and Chouji."
As Ino turned and went downstairs, a smile appeared on her face and her eyebrows were curved.
After spending some time alone on the rooftop enjoying the cool breeze, Naruto estimated that time was about up, so he went downstairs.
"I should go find Sasuke too."
"I've saved the demon contract for him for so long, it's time to put it to use."
"."
At this time, in Ward 404 of Konoha Hospital.
Sasuke, wrapped in bandages, clenched his fists and looked at the moon in the sky alone.
"I can't beat Naruto, I can't beat the red-haired boy, and killing Uchiha Itachi seems to be a distant thing forever."
"Mom and Dad, when will I have the strength to avenge you?"
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Chapter 65 I am very rational
Life is full of surprises.
When you need something the most, it will be offered to you. It is up to you to choose whether to accept it or not.
Drawing the curtains to prevent any light from entering the ward, Sasuke leaned against the corner and looked at the four people opposite him.
He was hesitant.
Should I believe the extremely powerful Lord Orochimaru as described by these four people?
five minutes ago.
The four men disguised themselves as medical staff of Konoha Hospital and entered his ward. They asked him if he needed strength. After a series of conversations, Sasuke learned that they were subordinates of Orochimaru, one of the legendary three ninjas.
Orochimaru was impressed by his qualifications and wanted to train him, so he sent these four people to find him.
"Well, Uchiha Sasuke, have you thought about it?"
"Even the Kazekage of the Sand Village and the Hokage of your village have died at the hands of Lord Orochimaru."
