Naruto: If I ask you to kill Sasuke, you will become a succubus?

When I regained consciousness, I was in the hospital, looking at the unfamiliar ceiling. I felt that my mind was as blank as the white ceiling.

Sasuke was sitting in a chair next to my bed, peeling an apple, as if he was keeping me company.

Accompany?

Uchiha Sasuke...who is he taking care of?

...Me? Impossible.

Could there be someone else in the hospital, an acquaintance of Uchiha Sasuke?

I slowly turned my head and looked left and right, only to see that there were only two of us in the ward.

He seemed to be practicing how to carve out cute patterns, because there were already quite a few apple rabbits with missing limbs on the plate on the bedside table.

...Why is he here?

Who is he peeling the apple for? Is he so particular about eating it himself...? Or is this some kind of training method unique to the Uchiha clan?

My memory stopped when Sasuke was halfway through forming a hand seal. I remember looking up and meeting his eyes in surprise, but I have no recollection of what happened after that.

Now that I think about it, he was probably planning to use this trick to divert attention and trap me in an illusion!

Cunning Uchiha!

So, I was caught in his Sharingan illusion?

Uchiha's illusion technique is really as good as its reputation, it made me lose consciousness in an instant.

At this moment, Sasuke inadvertently raised his eyes and met my gaze. His eyes suddenly widened and a look of surprise appeared.

"Asaro! Are you awake!?"

Why is he so enthusiastic?

I looked at him a little blankly.

"Now is..." I heard my voice was floating, and I couldn't muster the strength to speak: "What time is it?"

"You've been lying there for almost three days, and I woke up a day earlier than you. I heard that someone from the Hyuga family was practicing the Byakugan when they found the two of us lying on the ground motionless, so they sent us to the hospital... But it's not a big problem. The doctor said that we were overdrawn in chakra, but your overdrawn was much more serious than mine..."

"Chakra overdraft..." I stared blankly at the ceiling, "Kakashi-sensei's Raikiri... does it consume so much chakra...?"

Is it even more serious than when Sasuke opened the Sharingan?

And this Sasuke is a little strange...is he talking more suddenly?

Am I still in an illusion?

Could this be the illusion?

Sasuke's expression paused, he walked closer to me, looked straight into my eyes, with an incredible look on his face.

I wondered, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

"what are you saying?"

He bent down, put his hand on the other side of my body, and as if he was worried about being heard by others, he leaned close to my ear and said, "The reason why your chakra is overdrawn is because you opened the Sharingan..."

"!"

I looked at him in surprise.

If this is an illusion, is Uchiha Sasuke trying to deceive me of my information?

But... who would lie to someone who wasn't an Uchiha about having the Sharingan?

"Have you forgotten everything? Everything in the illusion, you..."

Sasuke's hands, supporting himself on the bed, clenched the quilt tightly. His body was almost pressed against mine through the quilt. He looked at me so closely, and I was not used to his strong gaze, and felt a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Naruto's voice came loudly from the door: "What are you doing! Sasuke!!"

We both looked towards the door and saw Naruto rushing towards us aggressively. I breathed a sigh of relief.

Sasuke stood up and stepped away, and Naruto stood by my bed, glaring at him.

Shikamaru and Shino followed in. Shikamaru looked at me first with a relaxed smile on his face: "You're finally awake!"

Shino frowned at Sasuke, his tone very unhappy: "Is it necessary to go to this extent to fight in the hospital?"

Sasuke stared at the two of them for a moment.

Shikamaru held a bag of fruit in each hand. He stood next to Naruto, separating me and Sasuke, and handed him one of the bags of fruit: "This is a comfort gift for you."

Shino turned to me and said, "We'll come to see you guys after class."

"get out of class is over..." I felt completely confused. My chakra overdraft seemed to have made me lose the concept of time. "School has already started?"

"Yes. We are already fifth graders. If we don't get up and come back to class, we might not be able to keep up."

Shikamaru answered me as he placed another bag of fruit on my nightstand.

"But it's okay," he smiled at me, "I took notes for you."

Shikamaru saw the plate of rabbit apples and glanced at Sasuke as he stood up, but said nothing.

He said, "Ino has been here before, but her family's flower shop needs her help, so she didn't come with us today."

Naruto rushed to my bedside, looked at me worriedly and said, "School has already started for a few days. On the first day of school, I went to the orphanage to wait for you to go to school together. As a result, the people at the orphanage said that you were in the hospital. I was so worried!"

"I……"

Sasuke suddenly interrupted: "She just woke up, don't talk too much to her and tire her out."

Naruto looked at him strangely: "You care about Chaolu's health at this time, but why did you fight to the point where both of them were sent to the hospital? Your chakra was overdrawn. Are you planning to kill Chaolu?"

Sasuke: "..."

Naruto wanted to say something, but Shikamaru stopped him, "Forget it, Asaka does look like she needs some rest."

Naruto and the others' performance made me feel at ease. I think this should be reality, not an illusion.

“I always feel…” But as I lay in bed, I heard my friends’ voices and felt at ease, but at the same time, I felt like something was missing, “It was like I had a very long dream…”

Shikamaru asked gently, "What did you dream about?"

"Hmm... I don't remember much..." I closed my eyes and tried to recall, but my memory was like rice paper that melted in my mouth, dissolving in an instant. "It seemed like there were fireworks... fireflies... a haunted house..."

When Naruto heard this, he said, "Ah! Chaolu, did you dream about the time we went to the fireworks display together?"

"is it?"

I frowned in confusion. It felt roughly the same, but it also seemed like something was not quite right.

"Don't think too much. Since you need to recuperate, just rest well in the hospital." Shikamaru said, "Don't force yourself. If you rush to leave the hospital without getting enough rest, you might end up with some hidden injuries, which is not worth it."

Since Shikamaru said so, I just said "hmm" and fell asleep again.

I woke up a few times during this period, and most of the time Sasuke was the only one with me.

I asked curiously, "Can't you be discharged from the hospital yet?"

Sasuke looked down at me, "I have to take care of you."

I was puzzled and asked, "Because you feel guilty for causing me to overdraw my chakra and end up in the hospital?"

“…Let’s just take it as that.” The apple he carved in his hand already had a shape and looked cute.

He picked one up with a toothpick and asked me, "Do you want to eat it?"

I was indeed a little thirsty, so I nodded, but just as I tried to raise my hand to take it, he had already fed the rabbit to my mouth.

I was stunned for a moment, and before my brain could react, I had already taken a bite.

Sasuke had a slight smile on his face.

"My mother used to be very good at peeling apples," he said. "When I was sick as a kid, no matter how miserable I was, I would feel much better when I saw her peeling apples."

I looked at him in surprise. It was the first time I heard him mention his parents on his own initiative.

He ignored my surprise and just put another piece of apple towards my mouth: "Now that I think about it, it's not the cuteness of the apple that makes people feel better, it's the presence of family members around when you're having a hard time that makes it less difficult."

I seem to understand but not understand.

He coughed uncomfortably, looked away and said, "So... when I had a fever before... thank you for coming."

I almost choked on the broken apple: "…You are not Uchiha Sasuke, who are you!!"
