only obsessed with you

Naruto sat by the bed and gnawed an unpeeled apple, with one hand resting on the back of the chair, chatting with Sasuke while gnawing in a very uneducated posture.The black-haired boy sat on the bed, his posture was well-behaved, he responded to Naruto's words, and occasionally said a few words, although most of them were words like "big idiot" and "crane tail".Naruto likes this feeling very much, there are no heavy topics or events, just chatting with him in a very simple and natural way, just like chatting about daily life.

"Oh, right~ Sasuke likes tomatoes very much, right? But my mother hates tomatoes the most."

Sasuke stopped, slowly swallowed the mouthful, and looked at him.But Naruto didn't look at him, he leaned back and swayed the chair, looking at the ceiling with a happy and happy expression on his face.

Sasuke had never heard Naruto talk about his mother—of course it was for sure, because Naruto had never seen his mother at all, and his parents died the day he was born, so how could he remember such a small thing.But judging by his expression, it didn't seem like he was telling a made-up story at all, but was really... thinking about his family.

The feeling of warming up from the bottom of my heart.

Sasuke looked at the tomato in his hand, his eyes softened slightly.He thought of his mother who had always been gentle and quiet. Although she was a very quiet lady, compared with his overly rigid father, she would appear very cheerful.Laughing every day, preparing the family's meals with a smile, teasing myself and my brother at breakfast with a smile, handing myself a bento with a smile, and telling myself not to run too fast on the way to school.

"My mother has very——beautiful red long straight hair. Because it is red hair, people used to laugh at it like a tomato. As a result, my mother beat up all the children who made fun of her... You said that mothers are really strong creatures, don't you?"

Sasuke thought about it, and he really couldn't think of his mother being very strong, but... once his father seemed to be too strict with his brother, his mother must be dissatisfied with the high intensity of ninjutsu required by his father, so the next day he saw the expressionless It's really interesting for his father to run to the toilet with a blue face over and over again... Thinking of this, Sasuke couldn't help but chuckled, and nodded in agreement.

It was rare to see Sasuke's smile, Naruto opened his eyes wide, and said excitedly: "Is that right! Shikamaru and Kiba also said that!"

"Then, what do you want to say? Your mother and I have different preferences." Sasuke took another bite of the tomato and glanced at him.But no matter how you look at it, he feels that he is in a good mood now, and his eyes are smiling.

"No, I just want to say that Sasuke is not picky eaters, he is a good boy."

"No, I'm a picky eater." Sasuke suddenly said this in a very indifferent and calm tone.

Naruto looked at him in a daze, as if he couldn't imagine that Sasuke, the handsome and famous Konoha Sasuke, would tell him in such an interesting tone that he was actually a picky eater and not a good boy.It's cold...but it's also a joke, it's unbelievable...

"Hey, Naruto, your chair is too crooked, you have to..."

"bang"

"... fell..."

"...——Stay in a daze!!!"

"...It really is an idiot..."

Since Sasuke left... no, it should be earlier, since Sasuke met Itachi, Naruto has never felt so happy.

It is the joy of completing difficult tasks with everyone, and the joy of eating all-you-can-eat Ramen.

It is the happiness that only "Sasuke is here" can bring.

Sasuke is very surprised that all the ninjas are so idle now. They look like they have no tasks, report on time every day, and drag them to the medical ninja on duty to drive them away. If they continue to procrastinate, sometimes they even live in the hospital directly. Sleeping on the bed next to Sasuke.If Sasuke hadn't had the infusion, he would still have squeezed his way into Sasuke's bed, although this farce ended with Naruto being kicked down by the young master of the Uchiha family every time.

"Uzumaki Naruto, I warn you..."

"Yes, I was wrong... I won't go, hey, isn't this because Sasuke is afraid that you will be cold? It is said that if you lose too much blood, your body temperature will drop."

"Excessive blood loss is not now, how many days ago!" Sasuke expressed serious contempt for this bastard who obviously wanted to eat tofu.Biting the tomato from Ino's condolences, he watched the person who couldn't sit still on the opposite bed sway: "Speaking of which, do you have nothing else to do? You should be the kind of person who can practice even if you don't let it go." People with 1 minute of time, what are you doing now." If you have the time to chase after me, it is better to go to practice... I said this to him, but now it seems that if I really go all out, I am afraid It's really not his opponent anymore.This recognition made Sasuke unable to tell what it was like in his heart, but the expression on his face was still light, showing no extra emotion.

"This can be regarded as a kind of practice..." Naruto uttered a nonsense that even Madoka couldn't make up, so the best way is to quickly change the subject: "How is Sasuke feeling recently? What's wrong with his body?" If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell Granny Tsunade quickly."

"Tell me something uncomfortable," Sasuke looked at him indifferently: "It feels like I can't extract the same level of chakra as before. Hokage should have told you about this issue. But why didn't anyone tell me?"

Naruto's smile froze, this topic that he didn't want to talk about at all was still unavoidable after all, but...he didn't intend to avoid it either.

This little expression fluctuation must not escape Sasuke's eyes, and his face sank.He really didn't want his worst prediction to come true, it would have had too much of an impact on him...

"Naruto."

"...Sorry." Naruto lowered his head, his eyes dimmed.He didn't want to lie to him.This kind of thing... such a big thing, and it's all his fault, how could he act like nothing happened.After a pause, Naruto told him exactly what Tsunade told him before, without any reservations.

There was no reply for a while, Naruto carefully looked up at him, but saw that Sasuke didn't have a very fierce expression, just sat there indifferently, throwing the leftover tomato stalks into the trash can.

"...Sasuke?"

"I don't want to talk about this topic anymore." Sasuke said succinctly.

Naruto immediately fell silent, and quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, the light in this ward is pretty good... It's not cold these days, is Sasuke always bored in the room? I'll accompany you to the yard tomorrow."

"It's very boring, I want to practice shuriken, you can accompany me." Sasuke glanced at him, his black eyes seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

Naruto was overwhelmed by the phrase "You accompany me", and just about to say something, Sasuke interrupted his beautiful imagination: "You are a target."

"...Are you taking revenge?"

Sasuke ignored his resentful eyes, went to look for tomatoes in the fruit basket, but seemed to have eaten them all, and finally took out an apple that was also red in color.Sakura wasn't there either, so she had to peel the skin by herself.Although this kind of thing has basically never been done, people who are good at using ninja tools generally have flexible fingers.I took the knife and peeled it carefully. Although it was very slow, the skin did not break.

"Wow, Sasuke, you can also peel apples—give me this!"

"Is this the attitude towards patients? The end of the crane."

"It's just an apple!"

"Hmph." Sasuke ignored him, concentrated on peeling the apple, and didn't take his words seriously.Go out for a walk... Isn't he being watched here now?If you want to act casually, I am afraid that there will be a group of tails, which is even more annoying.At least this pair of eyes stared at him in this room.

Naruto was still thinking about it, when he heard Sasuke's cold voice: "Here." Before his voice fell, something directly hit him in the face.Naruto was startled, and hurriedly reached out to grab the thing, it was slippery and wet...it turned out to be the peeled apple.Naruto took a bite directly, and smiled at Sasuke: "Then I won't be polite, you can cut it yourself~"

"No, I don't like to eat apples." Sasuke said without interest, put the fruit basket farther away, pulled the quilt and clothes and lay down: "I'm tired, go out. I want to sleep."

"You can't be polite to me now and then..."

"No."

"Okay, okay, I see~" Naruto sighed, spread his hands, bit the half of the apple and went out, when he reached the door, he suddenly came back: "I'll see you again tonight, what do you want to eat?" of? Bring it to you."

Sasuke originally wanted to scold him, but considering that he was likely to pack Yile ramen for him at night, he supported his forehead: "Muyu rice balls. Get out now, you're too loud."

Naruto just laughed, closed the door and ran out.

Sasuke wasn't really sleepy, his eyes were still open, and he was staring straight ahead without focus.In the past, his mind was almost full, thinking about the same thing all the time, almost filling his entire life.

He's the Avenger, that's his destiny.Revenge against Itachi...but he entered the most painful reincarnation and lost his only close relative. If he didn't divert his attention and tell himself to kill Konoha to avenge Itachi, he might collapse.Unacceptable... Until now, he still could not accept it.

"...Itachi..."

Why do you feel that if you let me survive, I will live well.

Without you... I would have no meaning to live.

So it's revenge.He cannot get rid of the identity that fate has given him.

Only now, even this can't be done.It feels like there is nothing to think about, everything seems meaningless, this feeling is very uncomfortable, my mind is empty, my future is not pitch black, but pure whiteness, except for blankness and blankness, what else? nothing.

Sasuke closed his eyes slightly, tired.He is tired all the time.As an avenger who can only be cold-blooded and cold-blooded, he cannot have an easy time.So... let's sleep for a while, so that the nerves will not be so tense all the time.

"Ah...what's the matter with this expression, did someone make Sasuke angry?"

Sasuke immediately sat up, the movement was too big, when he raised the quilt, the fruit basket, fruit knife, and dishes on the bedside table were all knocked down and fell to the ground.

"Treat the teacher with such a stern expression, the teacher will be sad~ very sad~"

Sasuke pursed his lower lip slightly, staring at the person in front of him completely not to be outdone.If it's sad...you can't see it at all, even if he wears a mask, his dead fish eyes reveal the fact that he is very happy now.

"Kakashi...what are you doing here?"
