Konoha: Resurrected by Orochimaru at the start

To everyone's surprise, Naruto slapped Sasuke's hand away upon hearing this: "Alright, alright, I know I found it, but let's not worry about eyes now, let's save them first. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Don't go over there yet, in case we encounter any danger, you can still help me!"

"This guy!" Sasuke's lips twitched. He was about to chase after him, but stopped after taking two steps. He couldn't persuade him anymore. If there was really a problem, with him here, they wouldn't all be caught.

During this time, Sasuke looked around. For some reason, even though the space was large, he felt a sense of oppression and suffocation after staying there for a while.

However, in those few seconds of delay, the man seemed to feel no pain and made no attempt to catch his breath. As the second ball fell into the bottle, his other eye was also removed!

Seeing that he hadn't been able to stop it in time, Naruto arrived and immediately became flustered: "Stop the bleeding? Right, stop the bleeding! But what about bandages? Damn it, if only Sakura were here..."

Just as Naruto unwrapped the bandage from his trouser leg, intending to go over and help stop the bleeding, unexpectedly, Naruto's hand passed right through the person's body!

Naruto was taken aback: "?"

Naruto, refusing to believe it, waved his hand, passing it over and over the man's head several times before finally confirming that he really couldn't touch him.

Sasuke, who had somehow appeared next to Naruto, said, "Are you an idiot? Putting aside how you plan to use that bandage, with a bandage on his face like that, I think the chances of that guy dying from infection are greater than the chances of him bleeding to death."

Ignoring the sarcasm in Sasuke's words, Naruto opened his mouth and said, "Sasuke, I can't touch him..."

Sasuke: "Hmm?"

Naruto gestured with his hand, saying, "He was fine before, but when I tried to touch him just now, my hand went right through his body."

After hearing this, Sasuke pondered for a moment and then said, "Try to pick up that bottle first."

"Okay."

Just as Naruto was about to leave, he suddenly seemed to remember something and asked in confusion, "Huh? Why do I have to carry it?"

Indeed, given Sasuke's current position, taking that bottle would be an easy task for him; there's no need to tell him at all.

Sasuke was speechless. Wasn't he just acting recklessly? How come his intelligence suddenly came out now?

"Never mind, I'll do it myself."

However, the next second, Naruto beat Sasuke to it and grabbed the glass bottle, saying, "Just kidding, I think it's better to leave something this important to me."

Naruto paused, holding the bottle in his hand. He looked at the figure beside him, puzzled, and slowly reached out to touch it, only to find that his palm passed right through it.

"..."

Seeing that the person had no other reaction, and having already obtained the 'eye', Naruto was somewhat confused. The object was real, but the person was fake, so wouldn't the bottle be floating in mid-air?

Wait, there's blood!

Thinking of this, Naruto quickly squatted down and gently touched the blood on the ground with his fingers, feeling the warmth—it was a physical substance!

This discovery brought Naruto a sigh of relief. It seemed he hadn't been mistaken earlier. Although he didn't know the reason, this person must be real! However, a new problem arose: if this person was real, how could he save him?

Watching Naruto frantically working on it for a while, Sasuke asked疑惑地问道, "Why do you want to save him? We've already got the item. What if you save him and he loses his 'eye'? Besides, what if he's an enemy?"

Hearing this, Naruto lowered his head as if reflecting: "You're right, I really have no reason to save him, and doing so might even put myself in danger..."

Sasuke tilted his head: "Oh?"

Suddenly, Naruto looked up again and said seriously, "But my intuition tells me that if I don't save him, I'll definitely regret it later!"

"intuition?"

Sasuke felt a sense of absurdity. He took a step back and gestured to Naruto, "Then let me see how you're going to save him."

Naruto asked in confusion, "Sasuke, what are you doing?"

Sasuke: "..."

Naruto: "Many hands make light work. Since you're already here, why don't you help us think of a solution?"

"Have you always been like this? Foolish, reckless, and with that fatal kindness, you might even get your own comrades killed!"

Sasuke said with a hint of disgust, "I won't help. You've probably run into the first idiot I've encountered in a long time. Here's a hint: the person you need to save right now is Sasuke."

Naruto was startled and tried to grab "Sasuke," but missed. "What happened to Sasuke?! Explain yourself!"

Sasuke, perched on the bookshelf above, chuckled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Eyes don't just appear out of thin air."

Holding the bottle in his hand, Naruto subconsciously became more careful.

After a moment of silence, Naruto suddenly said, "I know I'm not smart enough; I can't think of a quick way to rescue him under these circumstances..."

Sasuke: "So?"

Naruto looked up: "That's why I can't trust you, because this is a dead end."

"Speaking of which, I encountered him before. Back then, he was a physical entity, but now he's an illusion. Do you think it's possible that the person who caused the problem from the beginning wasn't Sasuke, but me?"

The sarcasm on Sasuke's face gradually disappeared: "It seems my previous assessment of you wasn't entirely accurate."

"Naruto!!!"

Like a thunderclap, when Naruto opened his eyes again, he was shocked to find that a pair of hands were only a few centimeters away from his eyes!

However, these hands were indeed his own. Naruto looked at his hands and a sense of unfamiliarity arose within him, as if these hands had never been his own. Thinking of that horrifying scene, Naruto quickly put his hands down, and his body involuntarily shivered, a chill rising from his back.

Seeing that Naruto seemed to have returned to normal, Sasuke asked warily, "Naruto, are you sure you're awake now?"

Naruto hesitated for a moment, then said, "I think so."

Sasuke: "..."

Naruto: "Where did Sasuke go?"

Sasuke rubbed his forehead and said, "That person suddenly got up and left the glass bottle containing the eye before leaving this spot. He's probably somewhere in this study now, and of course, the bottle he left behind is in your hands now."

"At the time, you didn't know what possessed you. You stood there, took off the bandages from your trouser legs, waved your hands inexplicably at the air, and then suddenly grabbed the bottle on the ground."

"I sensed something was wrong and tried to call you back, but it was no use. Your hands were incredibly strong back then. In fact, if you weren't still conscious, I would have already considered getting serious."

……

After understanding the situation, Sasuke's expression turned grim. With the two pieces of evidence corroborating each other, it could be said that if Naruto had believed even a little bit of what that person said, he would have completely fallen into a trap.

One of the biggest pitfalls is that if Naruto chooses to save people, he will need to return the eyes, but judging from the situation just now, it is still unknown whose eyes were used.

If they choose not to save the eyes and instead remove them, they will cut the eyes off and put them in a bottle.

The best-case scenario Sasuke could think of was doing nothing, but if that were the case, he couldn't understand how Naruto woke up. Was it simply because that person left, causing a disconnect in his memories of reality?
