Naruto, Time of Dawn

Chapter 26 Daily Life



The morning light shines shyly into the cave, waking up those who have been sleeping in the cave for too long.

As soon as he woke up, Sasuke felt his eyes were bound by something.Although he didn't feel uncomfortable, he didn't like the feeling.Just as he was about to raise his hand to take off the thing covering his eyes, he heard a childish voice calling him.

"Uncle Sasuke, don't take it yet!"

Then, a soft and warm little hand grabbed his hand behind his head.

"Li Xiao?"

Although he has determined who it is, this is not his main question.What he wanted to ask was why it stopped him.

"Uncle Sasuke, your eye meridians are damaged, please don't untie it now, okay?"

It turned out to be medicine.

Sasuke lowered his hand, he could feel that the kid wasn't lying to him.The eye meridians no longer sting and feel cold like before, but instead feel slightly warm and comfortable.

Probably after sleeping for too long, Sasuke put one hand on the ground and prepared to get up.However, before he could exert any force, he was lifted up by Li Xiao.I guess it was a bit laborious, and my hands were actually shaking a little.

"Uncle, the injury on your shoulder has not healed yet. So try to use as little force as possible with your left hand."

The little guy in his ear kept talking and his breath was a little unsteady.

"Uncle Sasuke, please sit down for a while. I'm going to check on breakfast."

The fresh and pleasant fragrance of grass and trees gradually faded away, and Li Xiao had left.

Holding the rock wall with his right hand, he slowly stood up and began to clarify his thoughts.

Yesterday, after he fainted, the child not only applied medicine to his eyes, but also treated the injury on his shoulder.

Sasuke put his hands behind his head again as if he still wanted to untie him, but in the end he put his hands down.

Although I don’t know if it will be useful, but if it is unlocked, the child will be unhappy, right?

Thinking like this, her thin lips suddenly lifted up.

He found that he seemed to smile more and more recently, and he would always smile for various inexplicable reasons.

Taking a tentative step forward, Sasuke withdrew his right hand that was holding on to the wall and then acted as usual.

The temporary lack of sight did not unnerve him, it seemed because there was someone here he could trust.And no one would hurt him or Li Xiao, so he didn't feel any nervousness.

At this time, Li Xiao was squatting at the entrance of the cave grilling meat, holding fruit in his hand, but his eyes were shining brightly as he stared at the grilled meat in front of him.

The big fox testified that he was busy yesterday!I really didn’t eat much!And this morning he woke up directly from hunger!So after making sure that Uncle Sasuke was fine, he eagerly started a fire to barbecue!

If he doesn't eat, he will starve to death! His reputation, Uzumaki Lixiao, should not be ruined by such a trivial matter!

The unique aroma of barbecue fills the air. If it weren't for the fact that eating undercooked barbecue is bad for your health, Li Xiao is sure that he would not be chewing the fruit!

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Li Xiao turned around and saw Sasuke with his eyes covered with white silk.

He grabbed the fruit on the side and stood up and handed it to Sasuke's side and said

"Uncle Sasuke, do you want to eat some fruit?"

The barbecue cannot be eaten yet, but yesterday Sasuke brought back a lot of edible fruits.It's just that the taste is a bit unflattering, but there are still a few delicious ones.

Thinking that Uncle Sasuke was so seriously injured, as a good boy, he decided not to fight with Uncle Sasuke.

Sasuke didn't fumble, because Li Xiao handed the fruit directly to his hand as soon as his hand moved.

"Your feet..."

Li Xiao replied before Sasuke finished speaking.

"I'm getting better now. Uncle Sasuke, don't underestimate me."

The crisp voice was filled with unconcealable pride, which made him feel happy.

Li Xiao took another bite of the fruit in his hand and sighed inwardly

This sour taste is really refreshing!

"……Feel sorry."

Sasuke was silent for a while before he squeezed out this word. If Li Xiao hadn't been sitting next to him, he would have missed it!

The sudden apology made Li Xiao curious.After thinking about it for a while, I still haven't figured out why Uncle Sasuke apologized to me?

And... shouldn't he be the one to apologize to Uncle Sasuke?If I remember correctly, he secretly attacked and knocked Uncle Sasuke unconscious with medicine without saying a word!

"it's okay no problem!"

Although I don’t understand it, it’s definitely right to be polite first.And there were some questions he had wanted to ask for a long time.

"Uncle Sasuke, can you tell me why you came to Medicine King Valley?"

Sasuke lowered his eyes, but he couldn't see it because of the ribbon.

Sure enough, would you still ask?

"Uncle Sasuke, although there are many rare herbs in the Medicine King Valley, it is indeed an extremely dangerous place. If you are not careful, you will die here. And since Uncle Sasuke is already injured, why do you come here?"

This time, Li Xiao controlled his emotions very well. When asking questions, he was no longer hysterical as before. Instead, he spoke in a straightforward manner without too many ups and downs.

After waiting for a while, Sasuke still showed no sign of wanting to answer, and Li Xiao didn't force it.Found another topic

"Uncle Sasuke, do you know? I haven't been in good health since I was born. It was my father who kept me on drugs and kept consuming my chakra to make me no different from other ordinary children. And there were several times when I was caught by bad guys. Yes, when I was used to threaten my father, he would always make concessions for me and protect me. Even...even if he would be scarred by this in the end, he never gave up on me."

Mentioning the sad past, Li Xiao raised his head to prevent tears from falling uncontrollably.

"Uncle Sasuke, no matter how difficult it is, we should not despise our lives, because apart from ourselves, those who care about us and love us will suffer because of our injuries and our deaths. Uncle Sasuke, you understand ?"

"..."

Sasuke remained silent as always.He knew what Li Xiao said was not wrong.But who cares about him now?Or it should be more accurate to say that the people he cares about do not care about his life or death.

It should be because that person has already planned to push him out of his own life.

Seeing that Sasuke still had no explanation.Li Xiao lowered his head in disappointment, and then raised it after a long time.Another skewer of barbecue was added to the fire.

In fact, what he had penetrated before was enough for him and Sasuke.He just needed to find something to do and didn't want to draw too much attention to Sasuke.Otherwise, he was afraid that he would do something to "scare away" Uncle Sasuke.

"I didn't think about dying."

A cold voice sounded with a deep sense of loneliness.It hovered in the cave and disappeared quickly.

This made Li Xiao pause in his movements and quickly looked at Sasuke, for fear of missing any expression on Sasuke's face.

As a forbearer and a powerful forbearer, Sasuke naturally felt Li Xiao's gaze.He also looked back at Li Xiao and said

"I came to Yaowang Valley to find a way to survive. Li Xiao, I want to live. Even if everyone wants me to die, I still hope that I can survive."

Sad and lonely

Uncle Sasuke, what exactly have you been through?What have you been through to make you so sad?

"no!"

Li Xiao responded quickly

"Not everyone wants uncle to die! I really hope that uncle Sasuke lives, and I sincerely hope that uncle Sasuke lives well!"

Sasuke's lips curved into a bitter smile.road

"Li Xiao, do you know? Five years ago, I personally destroyed my only destination. I hurt a very important person to me. I have been looking for him for four years. I finally met him and ended up with him. I said it didn't matter. He said, whatever I want is fine. But he wants to push me out of his world."

Even if he couldn't see it, Li Xiao knew how sad and desperate those eyes were now.Li Xiao didn't know how to comfort him and could only sit closer to Sasuke to let Sasuke know that he was not alone.

Sasuke paused for a while without saying anything, and Li Xiao didn't urge him.Just stay with this sad person quietly.

Perhaps it was because the other person was still young and did not have many calculations, but he was also extremely smart, that Sasuke revealed his true feelings like this.

"Li Xiao, you said that if I go back to that person, will he... still want me?"

This question stumped Li Xiao, but before he could answer, Sasuke spoke, with a self-deprecating tone that was heartbreaking.

"Probably not. That fool is so gentle and beautiful, as bright and dazzling as the sun in the sky. But I trampled on his dignity and hurt him deeply. How could he forgive me? Moreover, I also He won’t live long.”

The last sentence was like a sigh, Sasuke even started to give up on himself.

"Uncle, I don't know if the person you are talking about will forgive you. But if you don't apologize or make up for it, then that person will definitely not know your feelings, so how can you talk about forgiveness?"

Li Xiao's words were like thunder.It exploded in Sasuke's mind instantly!

yes!He had never tried or made amends. How could he know that idiot Naruto would not forgive him?

"Besides, Uncle Sasuke. Since you know you won't live long, why don't you go see that person? How can you talk about someone who is important to you if you don't even want to see him for the last time?"

The child's tender voice made Sasuke deeply ashamed.

He prides himself on being smart, but he can't see clearly as a child.You are so cowardly that you don’t even have the courage to see that person again!

Seeing that Sasuke was a little shaken, Li Xiao said

"Uncle Sasuke, come back to Konoha with me. The power in your body is too overbearing. I can only control it temporarily. If you want to cure it, you can only find my father. So come back to Konoha with me first. Take care of your health. Let’s go find that person again. Okay?”

Come back to Konoha with me

For just a moment, Sasuke felt as if time had returned to the past.

That vivid, dazzling figure, that bright, clear, unwavering gaze.

After being rejected again and again, that person still stood in front of me again and again, stretched out his hand to him, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile

"Sasuke, come back to Konoha with me."

"Uncle Sasuke? Uncle Sasuke?"

Seeing that Sasuke was a little distracted.Li Xiao couldn't help but call him out.

"You...are from Konoha?"

Sasuke was a little surprised when he came to his senses.He is known to everyone in Konoha.

S-class rebellious ninja, Uchiha orphan.There have been times when Konoha was in trouble.

But the person in front of me looks like he doesn't know who he is. Is he just pretending or is there some conspiracy?

Li Xiao touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed and said

"That's right. My father and I returned to Konoha for the first time half a month ago."

Li Xiao specially emphasized the first time.

He could feel Uncle Sasuke's faint anger towards Konoha, as well as some indescribable feelings.

Anyway, the best policy is to avoid getting into trouble.

"No wonder."

Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief.It seems that the child's father has been away from Konoha for some years.It's just that this person probably wouldn't be able to heal a rebellious ninja like him.

Sasuke raised his hand and rubbed Li Xiao's little head, saying

"I won't go back to Konoha with you. I will find a way to survive on my own."

"But uncle!"

Hearing Sasuke's answer, Li Xiao became a little anxious.But was interrupted by Sasuke

"Don't worry, I will go to Konoha. The person I talked about is also in Konoha. I will go back, but not now."

"But uncle, in addition to herbs, there are all kinds of poisons in the Medicine King Valley. How can there be a way to suppress the power of Yin? And you don't understand pharmacology at all!"

After all, Li Xiao hoped that Sasuke could go back with him, so he tried his best to persuade him.

Sasuke shook his head and said

"What I want to find is the entrance to the Moist Bone Forest. The Slug Clan has mastered medical skills, so they will definitely find a way."

Li Xiao stood up and looked at Sasuke beside him.His expression was unpredictable.

He just said it!Why did Uncle Sasuke enter the Medicine King Valley with injuries?It turned out that I thought the entrance to Shigu Forest was in Yaowang Valley!

"Uncle Sasuke, the entrance to the wet bone forest is in the Medicine King Valley. The wet bone forest belongs to the fairyland and has no specific entrance. There are only two ways to enter the wet bone forest. One is that the slugs in the wet bone forest allow you to enter. The wet bone forest. Second, know the exact location of the wet bone forest. Uncle Sasuke, you should know that the chance of entering the wet bone forest is very small. So uncle Sasuke, instead of betting on the subtle odds here, why not go back with me to find dad! "

Sasuke looked up, and he found that this child knew a lot, even the Shiggou Forest.only……

"Li Xiao, have you ever heard of rebel ninja?"

"Treason?"

Li Xiao frowned. He had only heard this word mentioned casually by some people, but his father never explained it clearly to him.

Sasuke smiled.

"Your father is really interesting. He tells you so much but doesn't tell you what a traitor is. Li Xiao, any ninja who leaves the ninja village he belongs to without the permission of the higher-ups will be regarded as a traitor by the higher-ups. And so am I. A traitorous ninja, a traitorous ninja who voluntarily betrays Konoha."

After saying that, Sasuke thought that Li Xiao would quickly draw a clear line with him and even be ready to part ways with the child, but who would have thought that the child would say such a thing.the kid said

"What did I think it was? That's all. If you don't want to stay, just stay there. What's the big deal!"

Li Xiao sniffed, very indifferent.He just said it!No wonder Dad was so disgusted with this word before.So that's it.

It is a person's own freedom to stay there, so why put the yoke of "rebellion and tolerance" on them?

Li Xiao's words made Sasuke laugh.But he still cared about it.He is a heinous sinner to Konoha, and this is not just because he is a traitor.

For a moment, Sasuke didn't know how to speak.He was a little concerned. If Li Xiao knew what he had done to Konoha, would he still talk to him like this?

But before he could get entangled, Li Xiao exclaimed

"Eh?! My barbecue!"

The two lost track of time while talking.

Li Xiao, who discovered that the barbecue was burnt, hurriedly pulled the overcooked and even slightly burnt barbecue from the ground.Sniffed the smell.

Well, he admitted, it was a far cry from what his dad did.

Pouring her lips in disgust, Li Xiao handed a passable-looking bunch to Sasuke.His face turned slightly red and he said

"Uncle, it may not taste very good, but anyway, eat some first."

Sasuke did not take it, but pointed to the ribbon on his face.

"Can you take it off now?"

Li Xiao lowered his head and put down the barbecue and cleaned his hands.

"Uncle Sasuke, let me take it off for you."

In fact, it doesn't matter if you take it off at any time, but the effect will be better if you use wood attribute chakra to warm and nourish the meridians while taking it off.

Li Xiao gently untied the slipknot and said

"Uncle Sasuke, don't open your eyes just yet."

Taking off the ribbon, Li Xiao used his hands to condense the wood attribute chakra in his body.Covering Sasuke's eyes.Check the condition of both eyes.

Well, much better than before.At least seeing things is no longer a problem, it's just that I can't load the pupil technique as before.But this little problem is definitely not a problem in Dad’s eyes!

Take back your chakra.Li Xiao raised his hand to block the sunlight and said

"Uncle Sasuke, open it slowly now. Don't be anxious, take your time."

Sasuke slowly opened his eyes as he was told. The dazzling sunlight made him feel a little uncomfortable, but Li Xiao raised his hand to block him, which was somewhat relieved.

Looking up, he happened to see Li Xiao.The child was clearer and more beautiful than before, and the short brown hair became more gentle under the sunlight.Those blue eyes were just like Naruto's back then, clean, warm and clear.

Sasuke raised his hand to touch his eyelids, feeling a little weird.Everyone said that these eyes were probably useless.I didn't expect to see such a scenery again because of the child in front of me.

Sensing Sasuke's joy and disbelief.Li Xiao squatted down in front of Sasuke, looking more and more like a little bean curd.

"Hehe, Uncle Sasuke. Isn't Li Xiao very powerful?"

"Ah."

The handsome face smiled gently, causing everything around him to lose color in an instant.The ink-colored eyes shone with tiny stars, like the vastness of the summer sky.

Sasuke turned around and saw Li Xiao's barbecue.It's indeed a bit miserable.One black and one red.If you keep looking at it, you will really lose your appetite.

Shaking his head almost incomprehensibly, Sasuke was stunned.

“Is there anything left that’s not baked?”

Li Xiao scratched his little head in embarrassment.He has already piled up everything he can eat.Except for the two skewers that were burned by the barbecue, there was only one skewer left.This is really a stain on life!

Looking at Li Xiao's little movements, Sasuke naturally guessed that there was no more.Reluctantly, Sasuke had no choice but to take out his kunai to see if he could save his life.

Sasuke cut off the burnt area and handed a bunch to Li Xiao, signaling with his eyes

Let’s eat like this first.

Li Xiao took over the barbecue that didn't look very good with some difficulty.It really doesn't taste that good.But let’s not be picky about the current situation.

He sat down next to Sasuke obediently.Watching Sasuke skillfully flip the stick in his hand, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Sasuke did not disturb the child's fugue.He started to pull out the fire and continued to fight for the cause of barbecue.

Not long after, the fragrant barbecue was freshly baked, and Sasuke handed it to Li Xiao directly without competing with Li Xiao.He got up and returned to the cave.

Li Xiao is not polite either.After watching it for so long, he was already greedy, so I left this to him. Anyway, he would definitely be hunting when he went out soon.

(Hey! Where are the patients you promised to take care of?)

When Sasuke packed up his things and came out with the Kusanagi sword, Li Xiao had almost eaten.Sasuke put the Kusanagi sword in front of Li Xiao and said

"Did you tie this sword spike on?"

Li Xiao blinked.Did he remember that this thing was not in the scroll?And what a big change!

However, Li Xiao nodded quickly and said

"Yes. This can keep you safe. I'll give it to Uncle Sasuke."

Sasuke was silent for a while and put the sword back, indicating that he accepted the gift.

Seeing Sasuke's immediate figure, Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.He and Uncle Sasuke were the only two people here, and there was no other person besides the big fox who could get the things in his scroll so easily.But why did the big fox give that piece of jade to Uncle Sasuke?Also specially decorated to look like sword spikes?

Huh?

etc!its not right!Uncle Sasuke is not going back to the cave!Damn it!

Uncle Sasuke, couldn't you say a word when you left?We’ve only seen each other for a few days!Keep running behind you!

He complained a little in his heart, but Li Xiao quickly rushed into the cave, took the scroll and followed Sasuke's pace.

"Uncle Sasuke, wait for me! Your eyes are not healed yet! You can't use pupil techniques!"

While chasing, Li Xiao shouted, fearing that something would happen to Uncle Sasuke again.

Sasuke, who was not far ahead, naturally heard Li Xiao's voice.Stop and wait for the child behind you.

Seeing someone stop, Li Xiao immediately speeded up and soon caught up with Sasuke.

"Uncle Sasuke, can't you slow down?"

Finally catching up, Li Xiao couldn't help but complain even though he wasn't tired.

There is no way, Uncle Sasuke is too boring. If he doesn't say something, he will be suffocated to death!

Sasuke Road

"What are you doing with me?"

Li Xiao shook the scroll in his hand and said

"Of course that's the reason why I came to Yaowang Valley! I'm not just a kid who only knows how to play!"

Li Xiao said again

"This is something I talked to my father for a long time before he agreed to it. But it was all thanks to an old man named Danzo. If he hadn't sent someone to my house every two days, like supervising prisoners, he would probably They won’t let go!”

"Oh?"

Sasuke became interested. (Uchiha Sasuke is interested in anything that can cause trouble for Danzo!) He raised his eyebrows.

"Then what is your purpose?"

"This is quite simple. Just stay in the Medicine King Valley for a few days, and if you can pick some herbs back home."

This is similar to experience.There is no difficulty.Li Xiao said with a smile.

"Uncle Sasuke! I can't find the entrance to this wet bone forest. Are you interested in collecting medicine with me? And the medicine on your shoulder hasn't been changed yet!"

Sasuke was simply defeated by this kid.He was so clingy that he couldn't refuse.

Seeing that Sasuke agreed, Li Xiao pulled Sasuke and ran away.He was running very fast, and he didn't look like someone who had injured his feet.

(At this time, the big fox said that he was not interested in getting involved in these people's troubles! As long as it doesn't go too far, you can make as much noise as you like!)
