Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

With the Tsunade incident concluded, the daimyo of the Land of Fire and the daimyo of the Land of Waterfall negotiated, and the Land of Waterfall ultimately compensated the Land of Fire with 20 million ryo.

As for the Hero's Water, it never found its way to its destination.

The matter has come to an end.

One week later,

As winter gradually sets in, the sycamore tree stands alone amidst its fallen leaves, with only a few leaves stubbornly clinging to it, as if it would fall over at the slightest breeze.

Early in the morning, a boy's cheerful shouts echoed from a room in Konoha Hospital.

"Brother! Brother, I've come to see you."

Before he arrived, his voice preceded his arrival, followed by a loud bang as Shisui with his afro rushed into the ward.

At a glance, I spotted a melancholy young man lying on the hospital bed, gazing out the window. Well, actually, you couldn't tell his gender from his appearance at all, because he was wrapped in bandages from head to toe, with only a pair of sorrowful eyes showing.

"Brother, why are you up so early today?" Zhi Shui asked, somewhat surprised.

A week ago, when he learned that his beloved brother was seriously injured and his life was in danger, he felt like the sky had fallen. Especially when he saw his brother bleeding profusely and his face unrecognizable, he burst into tears.

Then, a day later, Uchiha Sora ended up like this, and it took him three whole days to wake up. He can barely get up now.

Upon hearing Shisui's voice, Uchiha Sora turned around somewhat stiffly.

"Shisui, you've arrived."

As for why he got up so early, the reason is that he spent all day in the hospital bed and couldn't do anything, so his day and night were reversed and his sleep schedule was disordered.

As for why his eyes conveyed sadness, it was because the doctor said he would have to stay in bed for at least a month.

besides……

Uchiha Sora looked at Shisui in front of him. In his eyes, Shisui's face was delicate yet somewhat blurry, with occasional fleeting afterimages.

He was well aware of the reason for this situation: overuse of the Mangekyou Sharingan had caused sequelae, resulting in a significant decline in his vision.

He's almost blind, so of course he's depressed. He experienced the pain of being "Sasuke of the Hawk Team" before he even awakened his Sharingan.

"Brother, have some porridge." At this moment, Zhishui raised his hand and shook the porridge in it.

"Okay."

A short while later, Uchiha Kong, sucking through a straw, drank the porridge from his cup. Since waking up, this was the only way he could eat. At first, he felt embarrassed, but after a few days…

Hehe, guess what?

feel good.

"Brother, how much longer until you can take off the bandages?" Zhishui asked, feeling sorry for his brother.

"According to the doctor, it will take another week, right?" Uchiha Sora was also a little uncertain. His injuries were indeed quite serious. The doctor said that his bones were shattered and his blood vessels were bursting. He was lucky to be alive.

However, this mission wasn't entirely fruitless; at least the system's tasks were completed.

The reward this time is a summoning jutsu, Shukaku.

He initially thought this move would directly summon Shukaku from Sunagakure, but after consulting with the system, he discovered that wasn't the case.

The Shukaku rewarded by the system is a smaller, fake Shukaku. It cannot move freely and lacks abilities that all Tailed Beasts possess, such as the Tailed Beast Ball. The rewarded Shukaku can only create a giant sandstorm to trap enemies.

Even so, Uchiha Sora was satisfied.

"Knock knock knock—"

There was a knock at the door. Zhishui ran over and spoke.

"Oh, it's Brother Fengzhong!" Zhishui exclaimed in surprise.

The person who came to visit Uchiha Sora was Uzuki Kazunari. As for why Shisui recognized him, it was because Uzuki Kazunari had been visiting frequently these past few days, and Shisui had gotten to know him over time.

Moreover, he often came to visit his brother, and Shisui considered him a friend of his brother and welcomed him.

"Hello, Shisui." Uzuki Kaze smiled kindly, ruffled Shisui's curly hair, and then her gaze fell on the mummy on the hospital bed.

"Ku, are you feeling better?" He placed the flowers on the bedside table. He had originally wanted to bring fruit, but considering that Uchiha Ku couldn't eat fruit right now, he brought flowers instead.

"Not bad," Uchiha Sora nodded, lifting his leg to indicate that he could move.

His feelings towards Uzuki Kaze were somewhat complicated, because Uzuki Kaze had been visiting him these past few days, and he was also a member of the Dark Guard.

So Momonosuke investigated this person and discovered that Uzuki Kazunari had a twelve-year-old younger brother who unfortunately died young.

Uchiha Sora finally understood why Uzuki Kazunari had been so attentive to him; it was because he reminded him of his younger brother.

"No missions these days?" Uchiha Sora asked.

"Yes, I guess so. Besides, with winter here, even the frontline operations have had a respite. This period is a rare time of leisure," Uzuki Kazunari explained.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sora's heart stirred. If that's the case, then Kurenai and the others should be back by now. Come to think of it, it's been more than a month since he's seen his peers.

However... if Obito knew he was like this now, he would probably laugh at him to death, right?

I smiled, and my mood inexplicably improved a lot.

hiss--

It hurts so much, it's pulled on my wound.

No, not at all (T_T).

"Your body is in such a state, you should rest well." Seeing him grimacing, Uzuki Kaze found it both amusing and heartbreaking, and then used her palm magic to relieve his pain.

To be honest, Uchiha Sora felt a little uncomfortable with his gentle tone; he was still more used to the aloof monkey he was when carrying out missions.

However, he couldn't bring himself to say anything mushy, so he could only remain silent.

Fortunately, this eerie atmosphere didn't last long, because a rustling sound came from the doorway.

"Hey kid, looks like things are going pretty well."

Uchiha Sora looked over and saw Tsunade, with her curvaceous figure, smiling at him. He smirked.

I wondered, what's this guy doing here?

Tsunade's eyes showed a stark contrast to her appearance a week ago; she looked completely different, with no trace of injury. But that made sense, given that Tsunade was a member of the Senju clan and skilled in medical ninjutsu, it was normal for her to recover quickly.

"Do you think things are going well?" Uchiha Sora retorted.

With that, he glanced at him, and a "caterpillar" flew onto his face. It was a slug, and the slug immediately emitted a faint green light to heal Uchiha Sora.

"Hehe, you're welcome," Tsunade said in advance, then sat directly on the hospital bed, squinting at the mummy. After a while, she curiously reached out and pressed a finger.

"Hiss—!" Uchiha Sora gasped, staring resentfully at Tsunade. He hated people who lacked boundaries.

"Tsk tsk, you look really ugly." Tsunade chuckled. The current Uchiha Sora was nothing like the arrogant figure he had been in the cave back then.

"Heh, who do you think I became like this because of?" Uchiha Sora said gloomily.

Tsunade paused, then stared at that resentful gaze with her beautiful eyes.

"Who told you to disobey me and insist on acting alone?"

"I am still an Anbu member, and I only obey the Hokage and the captain. Tsunade-neechan, you have no right to order me around~" Tsunade repeated what Uchiha Sora had said to her back then, looking very irritating.

"I surrender, I surrender," Uchiha Sora said helplessly.

Uzuki Kazunari remained silent throughout, listening to Tsunade and Uchiha Sora's conversation, her mind in turmoil.

Was the terrifying battle scar left behind really caused by Uchiha Sora?

"Bang—!" The door was kicked open.

"Kong! I've come to see you!"

Uchiha Sora's lips twitched. What day is it today? What? Did they all agree to visit him this morning?
