Just wait till you die

I lay in bed and stared at the ceiling for half an hour.

I was still wearing the clothes I wore yesterday, and I was covered with a warm quilt. Every corner was carefully tucked tightly, and I could still taste the sweetness from the corner of my mouth. Someone should have given me glucose water.

My stomach no longer hurts, but my neck is slightly swollen. Qihai shot me unconscious yesterday, and I have no news about the outcome of yesterday's game.

However, I'm not so interested in knowing the result right now.I was afraid that as soon as I asked, I would get the news that I should put flowers on Asaisuke's grave.

I was too pessimistic, but I couldn't restrain my thoughts, and my head was filled with bright red and cruel illusions.So I lay on the bed, and continued to be in a daze for an entire hour like an ostrich, before Sasuke held up the tray, twisted the doorknob with difficulty and delivered the meal to my bedside.

Seeing me wake up, he was happy for a moment, and then complained to me: "——I have already lost all your medicine."

I said distressedly: "The medicine is very expensive." Especially the painkiller, the effect is as fast as slapping an ant with a palm, and the effect is immediate, so the price is also very beautiful.

"It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not." Sasuke pinched his waist and scolded me like Qihai, "Girls should take care of their bodies."

"..."

What's the mess?I took the medicine for myself, okay?

"Also, Jie won."

"..." I thought I had heard wrong.

Sasuke didn't notice that I was in a daze, and excitedly said to me: "Yesterday Jie was beaten so badly, everyone thought he would lose, but in the end his opponent took the initiative to admit defeat."

This touched my blind spot of knowledge. Yukes has a deep hatred with us. I can't think of any reason for him to let Jie go.

Sasuke didn't know the reason either, he planned to visit Jie in the hospital with me in the afternoon, and I agreed.

We took a basket of fruit to the hospital and found that Jie's parents were also with him, and they were our old acquaintances.

The uncle who has been selling sugar to me for several years turned out to be Jie’s father... But I heard that Jie’s sugar workshop is quite large and should have his own shop. Why did his father sell sugar at the entrance of the vegetable market?

Seeing Sasuke and me, the uncle habitually took out a handful of candy from his pocket and stuffed it into Sasuke, pulled Sasuke to his side, squeezed his face and touched his head, and laughed heartily.Only then did I realize that Jie, like his father, is a rough-headed but optimistic and persistent person.

His big hands were rough, pinching Sasuke's tender face flushed red, Sasuke pushed and refused while chewing hard on the soft candy stuffed in his mouth, resisting with a "wow".

"I said Dad, you are enough." Asai couldn't stand it anymore, and said awkwardly.

"Tomorrow is the last day of the summer festival, so would Xi Yin and Xiao Sasuke come to my stall?" His father invited.

Tomorrow, I have an appointment with Sasuke tomorrow.

"No, Uncle." Since it is Jie's father, he can't just call him Uncle, so I changed my words.

Asai asked, "Is Xiyin free tomorrow?"

"No."

"..." He looked unhappy.

"Speaking of which, your mother is still guarding the store. She can't do it alone, so I have to go back. Xi Yinchan, can I entrust this bastard to you for a while?"

Asai's father flattered and asked with a smile.

I had no reason to say no, and his dad left soon after.Asai sat on the bed, looked at me with a slight smile, her face was red.

"By the way, why did Xiyin leave later? I thought Xiyin was looking at me the whole time, and he was fighting that carrot seriously."

If you don't take it seriously, you will die. Well, what does it have to do with me?I sat down, and Sasuke finally swallowed all the candy, standing behind me muttering something like "I wouldn't have come if I knew it".

"Why don't you admit defeat?" I grabbed Sasuke's shoulders and let him get close to me, Sasuke followed my strength and leaned against me.

Asai paused for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Because I think I will win."

You are not the protagonist, without a halo, how can you have confidence?However, I cannot deny that a miracle did happen to him.

"You, Nanami-sensei and Fengta feel the same incredible, don't you?"

To be precise, individuals would find it incredible.

"You all underestimate me. Carotou's ninjutsu is indeed very powerful, but he can't distribute chakra reasonably at all, and his physical strength and endurance are not as good as mine. In the end, I was hit by him on purpose and let him I thought I was going to die... I still learned from you Xiyin, he was really fooled, and he used a super ninjutsu to kill me, hehe, I just took advantage of it."

"I heard that he took the initiative to admit defeat."

He scratched his head, "Well, he can't move anymore, so I told him that if he admits defeat, I'll let him go, and he can only admit defeat."

Ah, it seems I underestimated him.

"How's the injury?"

"...It's okay, Mr. Qihai said that the left leg bone that was injured before was cracked again, there was a penetrating wound under the ribs, and there were many abrasions. Mr. Qihai also said that I messed around to make my memory long, so it didn't heal Me. Heh, he's so bad."

He was not convinced, "I have a sense of proportion."

"Yesterday you were almost beaten to death." Sasuke interrupted suddenly.

"No! I pretended!" Asai retorted.

"You're covered in blood." Sasuke didn't believe him at all.

I still believe in Sasuke's words, and Sasuke was so frightened that he came to the hospital to visit him. I think yesterday's battle was very intense.

Asai had nothing to say, and finally repeated unwillingly: "I have a sense of proportion..."

In the afternoon, Sandaime came to the hospital in person and asked about Asai's injury kindly. To be sympathized with by Hokage-sama, Asai was so excited that he seemed to jump out of bed at any time to show his "healthy" physique. Be honest.

The third generation brought me and Asai the news of being promoted to Chunin.I don't care anymore, speaking of which, I can be regarded as the default candidate, so I am not surprised, but Asai was hit by the surprise, so happy that he almost jumped up again.No one stopped him this time, he grinned his teeth in pain from the wound he was pulled on, and he still didn't forget to tell me: "Xiyin! I just said I can do it!"

"..." It's really a headache.

"Haha, there are two Chunin in one team, Mitsu really lived up to our expectations." Sandaime said with a smile.

"Yes, Teacher Qihai is super nice!"

"There's also Xiyin," the third generation squinted his eyes and wanted to touch the top of my head. I turned my head away, but he withdrew his hands embarrassingly, and said, "I heard that you did well in the exam this time. I hope you can do something for the village." greater contribution."

"Yes, I will try my best."

The third generation left.How much does this weak-looking little old man know about the massacre of the Uchiha clan?Why does he look forward to my growth so much?Who is Nanami, and why does Sandaimu trust him so much?

So many questions were fighting in my head and my chest was tight.

Asai's mother came to the hospital to take over my shift, and I had to leave with Sasuke. Before leaving, Asai asked me if I still remembered the agreement with him before. I nodded slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye to me. .

We didn't go back to the apartment directly, the cat mother-in-law was still waiting for me, after paying the balance and taking out the things I ordered in advance, Sasuke and I came to the training ground we often go to.

I remember that Sasuke used a sword when he was an adult, and it seemed to be a good sword, so I asked for a double-edged sword. Grandma Cat, who rarely makes this kind of weapon, carefully made a box to put it in.I was holding the hilt of the sword, and I was holding a sword flower casually, and the touch was not bad.

Sasuke looked at me quietly and didn't ask any further questions in a sensible way.

"For you." I handed it to Sasuke.

He hesitated to accept it. To him, the sword was too long and cumbersome like the Taidao. He had to hold the sword to fully grasp it.

"birthday present."

No matter how dull I am, and I don’t celebrate birthdays much, I still know that normal people have to receive gifts on their birthdays. Sasuke told me so many days in advance that he was going to celebrate his birthday. If I didn’t prepare it, he would probably remember me in his heart again. up.After all, a creature like Sasuke is in the same category as an unreasonable girlfriend.

He couldn't help laughing, and the smile flashed away like a shooting star.Suddenly, he sullenly, his fingers holding the sword turned white, trying to suppress something.

"why?"

His voice was as weak as a moaning insect.

Why give him a gift?

That's right, I never gave him extra expressions before, let alone something like a birthday gift that slaps his favorability. It's normal for him to feel strange.

"Because I think it can be delivered."

After thinking about it, I said.

"Why?" He was surprised.

"You've taken care of me a lot lately." It's not just for this reason. I thought about giving Sasuke a sword a long time ago. At that time, the thought was fleeting. I didn't think of it until Sasuke mentioned that he was going to celebrate his birthday. This matter, I thought about it, and gave it to him no matter what.

As for why it must be given to him, I don't know myself.

"pat"

Something hit the ground, dipping into the dirt.

I knelt down and looked at his face carefully. He shyly avoided my gaze, quickly wiped away his tears and cheered up and said to me: "You teach me."

……

I still carry Sasuke on my back when I go home.Now that he's old, it's a bit nondescript to carry him on my back, so I made him transform into my own childhood appearance so that he can lie on my back.Fortunately, I didn't meet anyone else along the way, otherwise, with his thin skin, he would definitely get into trouble with me again.

Fortunately, I'm used to his awkwardness.

At first, Sasuke was silent and didn't speak.When he was about to get home, he suddenly whispered: "In the past, Itachi often carried me on the back."

Isn't it normal for an older brother to carry his younger brother?I laughed at him: "Don't think of me as Itachi's substitute." I can't really replace Itachi, Sasuke may not realize that the way he treats me is more and more like he used to treat Itachi, but I just Just a passerby who appeared by his side at the right time.

"You are different from him, he is," Sasuke tightened his arms around my neck, and his voice was lower, if he hadn't spoken in my ear, maybe I would have pretended not to hear, "Anyway, you are not the same as him Humanoid. You, you are very good to me, although you often beat me, threaten me, and belittle me, but you are for my own good."

"Didn't Itachi treat you well before? How can you be sure that my kindness to you won't turn into evil to you one day? Like Itachi." I said unhurriedly.

Unexpectedly, Sasuke is not as choking as rice pepper as usual, quietly listening to me, "It is the most ridiculous way to judge people by appearance. Sasuke, now I am your guardian, I must be responsible to you until you Growing up. However, I can’t treat you unreservedly. You can’t see my heart, just like you can’t see Itachi’s thoughts, so don’t trust me so easily. You should understand that the more people around you People are easier to betray."

What am I talking about?I can't understand it myself, let alone Sasuke.The strange thing is that Sasuke nodded behind me, as if he had listened.

The sound of insects is noisy, and the sweet fragrance of grass and trees blows from a distance.The kid on his back suddenly changed the subject: "Is there a birthday cake?"

Insatiable!Thank goodness I told him so much.

I said depressedly: "No." I will never admit that I forgot. The little girls who came to my house sent cakes, some of which were made by themselves, but I, the guardian, was left behind.

"But I haven't made a wish yet."

"Making a wish? Impossible, useful, yes..." Thousands of children make wishes every year, but how many of them succeed?However, I was a little guilty when I said it, and after stammering a word, I said: "I'll find you a candle." There are still a few cakes left from the cakes given by the girls, so I can use them as soon as possible.

"No, I've already promised."

Um?So casual?Xu what?Forget it, don't even think about it, it must have something to do with revenge and revival of the family, maybe it has something to do with Itachi.

The author has something to say: Some people don’t want to update it, I’ll post the saved manuscript first, I don’t know if I can think about updating it in the Year of the Monkey
