"What's the fuss about?!"

The ward door was pushed open, and a nurse looked at Sasuke and said:

"Are you awake? Don't move. I'll give you a new round of examinations right away."

Then he said to others:

"The patient is not yet sure whether he is out of danger, please be quiet!"

Then he turned around and left quickly.

An awkward silence fell into the ward again.

"Sasuke, I don't know what you are thinking, but I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding."

Kakashi couldn't help but said.

"Misunderstanding? Thinking you will protect me is my biggest misunderstanding!!"

"The ANBU people want to kill me! The tip of the knife has reached my neck. Do you call this a misunderstanding?!"

Sasuke became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Calm down!"

Kakashi advised.

Sasuke was waiting for further attacks when the ward was pushed away again.

"Check out bed four."

The nurse from before, accompanied by several medical ninjas, walked into the room with various instruments and scrolls, and started to work around Sasuke.

Hearing the noise in the room, the nursing staff couldn't help but roll their eyes at everyone.

“The muscle damage is controllable and has been largely repaired.

"The overdraft damage caused by the curse seal has stabilized, but the patient is still very weak and needs to supplement nutrition and rest and adjust.

"All in all, it's no big deal."

The medical ninja explained.

"Great! Sasuke!"

Naruto yelled.

The nurse glared at him, made a "hush" gesture with his hand, and then walked out of the ward with the medical team.

"Then, you should recover from your injuries first."

Kakashi didn't see the time to speak. Sasuke's words also made him feel mixed emotions at the moment, and he turned around to leave.

"He just said that it was ANBU who assassinated Sasuke yesterday. Do you know this?"

Jiraiya asked suddenly, without a hint of emotion.

"Jiraiya-sama, I don't know about this. But I believe that Hokage-sama will never make such an arrangement."

"In that case, let's go to the Hokage Building together and find out." Jiraiya said.

Kakashi was startled.

"You take good care of yourself and we'll come see you later." Jiraiya turned his head and said softly.

"I'm going too!" Naruto shouted.

"This is not something you can get involved in!" Sakura held Naruto tightly and smiled awkwardly at the two adults.

While talking, Jiraiya and Kakashi left the hospital.

Sakura was sitting on the bed peeling an orange, while Naruto was walking around looking around out of boredom.

"Sasuke-kun, do you think this scene is similar to the day after coming out of the Forest of Death?"

Sakura asked softly as she handed a piece of orange to Sasuke.

That night, in the central tower, Class 7 had just passed the second round of the Chuunin exams.

Sasuke was struck by a curse seal, and Mr. Kakashi helped him perform the evil seal.

That night was the same as today, Sasuke was lying on the hospital bed.

The three of them gathered together, imagining the upcoming battle, laughing and chatting.

Sasuke didn't know how to answer, so Sakura continued:

"I always feel that a lot has happened since then. Sometimes, I feel that you have become gentler, but sometimes, I feel that you and Naruto are getting further and further away from me."

"Sakura-chan, what are you talking about? Aren't we right here? One meter, two meters, three meters, not far away!"

Naruto noticed the conversation between the two and turned to join in.

Yes, Sasuke sighed inwardly.

After the Death Forest, things happened one after another, which had impacts on my thoughts again and again.

Before that, he had been living in a clear world, with clear lines of love and hate, and orderly strength and weakness.

It seems that as long as the young man with great hatred continues to become stronger, he will get what he wants one day.

However, the boy's journey to becoming stronger has just begun, and he runs into another adult world.

This monster named Mahajan almost lost his life twice because he only showed half of his eye through the gauze curtain.

In comparison, the sincere friendship of the companions in front of me seemed so precious.

The sour, sweet and refreshing orange spreads on the taste buds.

Sasuke said to Sakura, "Thank you. And, Naruto."

"Ah, you suddenly said something stupid and stupid! You must have broken your head!"

The sudden seriousness made Sakura and Naruto blush and feel embarrassed.

Naruto was talking incoherently, Sakura smiled slightly, and the atmosphere returned to the familiar state for the three of them.

Later, Naruto asked what "Anbu Assassination" was all about.

Sasuke simply explained the situation briefly.

When they heard "Anbu custody", both of them showed surprise. It turned out that they did not go to practice secretly with Mr. Kakashi.

When they heard "Anbu ninja, come to kill Sasuke in the name of Hokage", the two of them looked even more nervous, and even their breathing became rapid.

After the narration, no one said a word.

The complexity of the matter was far beyond their imagination.

In fact, Sasuke himself didn't fully know what to do in the future.

But at this moment, I no longer want to hide it from my companions who value me.

"I'll go find Grandpa Hokage and ask for details!"

Naruto couldn't understand, so he stood up and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute! Isn't Jiraiya-sensei already gone? There's no way the Hokage can tell you the truth."

Recalling the performance the Sandai performed on him, Sasuke felt sick again.

"hateful!"

Naruto punched the table hard.

"Indeed, let's wait until Lord Jiraiya figures everything out."

Noticing Sasuke's appearance, Sakura couldn't help but said: "Sasuke-kun needs to rest now, let's go back first."

Sasuke nodded.

After the two left, Sasuke leaned against the head of the bed and looked at the scenery outside the window.

The autumn wind blew gently, and the leaves made a rustling sound. A few leaves could not hold on and fell from the treetops, flying in the air.

It’s the season of falling leaves again.

Ding!

A new notification suddenly came from the system.

[Congratulations on completing your proposal—at the same time, I asked Kakashi and Jiraiya for advice on practice. Obtain a C-level scroll! 】

I almost forgot about this!

Sasuke perked up, looking at the scroll glowing with azure blue light in his mind, and silently chanted to open it.

[You have opened the C-level scroll, congratulations on getting the spiritual treasure prop: Heart of Beast Whispers]

Immediately, a line of small words appeared above the scroll.

[When you regard animals as your friends, you are no longer a slave to humans. Listen, nature is speaking. 】

Immediately afterwards, a light green pendant appeared out of thin air in Sasuke's hand.

The texture of the pendant is hard and dense, the lines are smooth, calm and not depressing.

Its shape is like a light feather. If you look closely, you can see a small animal claw embossed on the feather, exuding the primitive breath of life.

Holding it in his hand, Sasuke felt a gentle touch, as if there was a quiet power flowing in his hand.

A black string passed through the small hole of the pendant, and Sasuke tried to wear it around his neck.

Then a shrill voice rang in his ears.

Chapter 34 It’s hard to survive alone

"The weather is starting to get colder, Jiji."

"Yes, Jiji, we need to hurry up and store food. Are you still going to hide in the gray house this year?"

Two little birds landed on the windowsill, shaking their feathers and chirping.

"Yes, that's what my father said. Speaking of which, today I found a new nest of insects on the edge of the calla lily. It's really delicious."
