After that, Uchiha Sasuke spent some time to make sure that there was really no problem with his arm that needed to be adjusted. He knew that this only meant that Sakura was indeed very concerned about this matter.

so……

Different from before, this time he began to say goodbye to some people seriously.

After all, this time of farewell...he doesn't know when he will come back next time, at least he won't come back in a short time.

Naruto, Sakura, Shikamaru, Ino...

Tsunade-sama, who has done a lot of good work with her arms...

There are also some other people who have shown a friendly attitude towards him after returning to the village...

Finally, Uchiha Sasuke also went to the orphanage where his friends often went. In the past few days, he would occasionally go there, either with him or with her.

Facts have proved that children in the ninja world probably mature relatively early, and no matter how young they are, they still know what looks good. So...

"Sasuke-nii!"

"Brother Sasuke is here again!"

"Sasuke-nii, play with me!"

…

A group of little ghosts swarmed up and gave Uchiha Sasuke a lot of "love hugs".

Uchiha Sasuke: "..." Hey, hey, I wasn't so enthusiastic before, so, what did the unreliable adults here teach the children?

"...Don't look at me." Pharmacist Kabuto, who was following the children and looking after them, pushed up his glasses with some sadness, "I didn't teach them."

Sai on the other side crossed his arms: "It's not me either." What is he teaching this to do? Even if he teaches, it's to teach these brats to hold Naruto, okay?

"..." Uchiha Sasuke had no choice but to pull down the bunch of brats hanging on his body, but he was afraid that he could not control the force and hurt them. He was a little worried for a while, and then he heard them talking in different directions.

——

"Sister Xiyan asked us to do it!"

"When she came last time, she asked us to give you a loving hug when we see Brother Sasuke again~"

"Ah, yes, yes, there is something else I want to say to brother Sasuke..."

"Sasuke-nii, I like you!"

"Sasuke-nii, I like you too!"

"Sasuke-nii, I like you very much!"

Uchiha Sasuke: "..." After he was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help lowering his eyes and laughing, thinking, what is this?

Weird...

However, maybe love itself can indeed give people strength. So unknowingly, surrounded by this group of brats, his heavy heart was slightly relieved.

At the same time, I suddenly felt...

There is nothing wrong with having a child.

Because children may indeed be the treasures of the world.

However, it is impossible for him. I don't know what Naruto and Sakura's children will be like. They will definitely... be like them, warm and cute...

After that...

He finally made up his mind to find his teacher - Hatake Kakashi.

Although maybe there was no need for him to warn her at all, and he had no position to do so, he still hoped that the other person who was now the Hokage could take good care of her.

The two didn't talk for too long, and the atmosphere during the conversation was quite peaceful.

As for his request, a certain silver-haired man who knew it well agreed to it and elaborated on what it means to "response to every request". His attitude was so good that his brother Meow, who was prone to getting angry, had nothing to say.

but……

Due to various reasons, Uchiha Sasuke is still a little bit angry. As for the reason... well, everyone understands it, and it is not enough to explain to outsiders.

Soon, it was the eve of farewell.

Uchiha Sasuke did not go to Orochimaru, but the latter took the initiative to come to the door, but not to say goodbye. After all, for Orochimaru, life is like a reverse journey, everyone is a traveler, and farewells happen all the time.

If not today, then tomorrow.

In the future, maybe the black-haired boy and his descendants will still be alive after death. So, since separation is the main theme of life, why should we care about these formal things?

In a sense, Orochimaru, who has abandoned part of his humanity, may be the most thoughtful person in the world. But even so, he will still go to Tsunade for a meal to celebrate a certain eight-year anniversary.

Ga’s favorite messy anniversary from the past.

All I can say is that everyone has their own insistence.

"What are you doing here?"

Facing the cold face of his "former disciple", Orochimaru took out a bottle from his sleeve and threw it to the other party completely unfazed.

Uchiha Sasuke raised his hand to catch it, frowned and asked: "What is this?"

"The good healing medicine is definitely more effective than what you have used so far." Orochimaru replied with a rare and sincere expression, "Keep it ready, maybe you will need it sometime. Of course," he then revealed

A meaningful smile, "If you want it again next time, you have to exchange it for something good that I am interested in."

Uchiha Sasuke: "..." Just keep it for yourself!

Having said that…

He still said "tsk" and put away the bottle of medicine. Although the person in front of him was not a good person, he was still quite good at making medicine. When going out, Shuiyue and the others would inevitably be injured occasionally. At this time, there were

Good medicine is stronger than anything else.

He is not worried about what Orochimaru is up to inside. After all, the latter should be in Konoha for a long time to come. In other words, this guy lacks the attribute of "elusive" and he can do whatever he wants at any time.

Come back and beat people up.

After these farewells of what should and should not be, what is important and what is not important are over...

Uchiha Sasuke also had to face an extremely real problem, that is——

He hasn't told her about it yet.

When she had a fever before, he promised that he would say goodbye to her in a dignified manner. Since he made a promise, he would definitely do it.

But what can I say...

Well, that's a good question.

He hasn't thought about it yet.

It's night.

After washing, Uchiha sat beside the bed and asked out of curiosity: "I'm leaving tomorrow, aren't you going to sleep with Naruto tonight?"

Uchiha Sasuke: "..." This is theoretically true, but...

"I see, I understand." She said suddenly, and then in the slightly nervous eyes of the black-haired boy in front of her, she slowly said, "My hands hurt and I didn't sleep for the past few nights, okay? So come and sleep with me tonight.

.”

"..." Tsk, that's not what happened at all, okay?!

"Then go and wash up." Uchiha rolled over on the bed, holding his head in one hand with his black hair disheveled, and said to the person, "I'll wait for you to come back."

"..." Tsk, there's no need at all, okay?!

...Having said that.

When Uchiha Sasuke came back to his senses, he found that he had walked into the bathroom obediently.

"...Damn it." He cursed, raised his right hand and smashed the white tiles on the bathroom wall.

Isn't this just like a tamed beast? He does things obediently when given an order... Tsk, he is not such a useless man.

"Sasuke, what's wrong?"

Her voice came from outside.

He immediately retracted his hand, stood up straight and replied, "It's okay, I accidentally touched something."

"Oh, then be careful."

"Um."

... Damn it, I subconsciously answered like this.

after a while……

Some people who had washed themselves clean walked out feeling awkward, and saw the black-haired girl lying on the bed with her back to him, as if she didn't notice him coming out at all.

"..." Asleep?

Don't...

He still planned to tell her about that matter.

Although he was slightly distressed, it was undeniable that he felt an unspeakable sense of relief in his heart.
To be continued...
