Hokage - Mirror Love

? It's Itachi's voice!Unable to restrain her excitement, Eri got out from the bush, facing Itachi and Shisui who followed Zero, "Itachi! And Brother Shisui!"

The moment Itachi saw Eri, he breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak, but froze after seeing her situation clearly, as if his throat was blocked by something, which made him feel uncomfortable and a little out of breath.

When Eri saw him, she still showed a happy smile as usual, but her face, arms, and exposed skin were covered with dense wounds of different shades, and her clothes and skin were all dark red. The whole body was bloody, looking horrible.

Noticing Itachi's wide-open eyes and frowning expression, Eri remembered that she seemed to be covered in wounds, and touched her face uncomfortably, touching the scabbed wound with her hands, Eri was a little embarrassed Laughed twice, "Well, will these leave scars?"

"Konoha's medical ninja will heal you," Zero calmly said, "Where's Otani Kiri? How did you escape?"

"Escape?... No, I was released by him..." Eri explained honestly.

"...Let it go? Do you know the reason?"

"This...I don't know either..."

Eri really didn't understand why Tong let her go suddenly, even she thought she would die in his hands.

"Really, I will report the truth." Zero nodded without any reaction, "In short, let's send you back to Konoha for treatment."

Eri silently followed Zero forward, and when it came to Itachi, Eri stopped and looked at Itachi who had been silent all this time, and asked hesitantly, "That...Itachi?"

"...I'm sorry, I couldn't protect you." Itachi frowned and looked at the wounds on her face. Although Eri didn't seem to care about those wounds, the wounds on her body seemed to tell him, Eri How was Li treated before this?

Hearing what Itachi said, Eri secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she was also afraid that Itachi would criticize her for being too careless, and she was taken away so easily, "It doesn't matter, if Itachi can come to save me, I will be very happy." Happy."

Itachi habitually stretched out his hand to touch her head, but noticed that Eri seemed to hide back a little, her hand froze slightly, "...does it still hurt?"

Eri nodded subconsciously, then shook her head vigorously, "It's okay now!"

Shisui behind him burst out laughing, Itachi turned his head and gave him a dissatisfied look, then squatted down with his back to Eri, "Come on."

"No..." Eri waved her hand, "I can still go by myself."

"At your speed, I guess you won't be able to reach Konoha tomorrow." Itachi sighed subtly, "Come up, be careful not to get any wounds."

Eri couldn't refuse, and then climbed up Itachi's back in embarrassment, the squeezed pain from the wound on her arm made her gasp, and then hugged Itachi's neck somewhat awkwardly.

Being carried on someone's back was indeed much faster than walking back by herself. About an hour later, they arrived at Konoha, and Eri was sent to Konoha Hospital. The nurse who saw her clearly was a little surprised. He stopped, and then showed a look of pity.

Maybe she looks really miserable now?

In fact, she still felt quite painful at first, and she cried alone for a long time. Later, after getting used to it, she looked at the wound Tong made on her body, as if he did not hurt her own body, and she was already numb to the pain.

"Fortunately, the wound is still fresh and there will be no scars. However, the blood loss is too severe. You need to recuperate in the hospital for a period of time. You should pay attention to the diet, which is high in nutrition and easy to digest and absorb..." the doctor told her While chattering and writing on paper, she suddenly raised her head, "Where's your family?"

"Uh," Eri shook her head, "I have no family..."

"Just tell me." Itachi took the words, "Is there anything else that needs attention?"

"If you have symptoms of fever or dizziness, you must inform us immediately." The doctor wrote the last stroke, "You must record clearly the infusions and medicines you take every day, and you must not miss one time."

Itachi nodded seriously, "I see."

Looking at Eri who was lying on the bed covered in bandages, the doctor sighed secretly. There were not many orphans who had a miserable life experience during the war years, but it was almost cruel to treat such a small child. .

The doctor shook his head and walked out of the ward with a sigh. Only Eri and Itachi were left in the room. Eri couldn't find a topic for a while, and the two fell into an awkward silence.

"That..." Eri finally remembered that before she was taken away by Kirito, Itachi went to take the Chunin Exam, "How was the exam result?"

"It passed smoothly." Itachi said flatly, there was no trace of happiness in his tone.

"Ah, as expected of Itachi, I knew you would pass!" Eri laughed, and accidentally pulled the wound on her face. She grinned her teeth and showed a pained expression, and then covered her mouth depressedly. face, "I dare not laugh anymore."

Seeing Itachi looking at her speechlessly, Eri couldn't help but burst out laughing, then covered her cheeks with her hands with a bitter face, and looked at Itachi with tears in her eyes, "Actually, I didn't think It hurts so much."

"..."

Although Eri is lying in the hospital now, it seems that no one comes to see her as a matter of course, except for the occasional Shisui, only Itachi comes every day, not only to see her, but also to bring her food.

On this day, Eri also routinely ate the rice balls brought by Itachi, and then asked him curiously, "Is Chunin so relaxed? It seems like you haven't had any tasks lately."

"..." Itachi looked at her blankly, "Because I asked for leave."

Eri's eyes widened in surprise, not because Itachi would ask for leave so strangely, but because Fugaku would agree to this, which shocked her.

Living in Uchiha's house for so long, even she can feel Fugaku's extremely high expectations for Itachi. Although Itachi has just become a Chunin, the pressure Fugaku exerted should be even greater. In this case, Itachi To be able to take a long vacation to take care of her despite the pressure, Eri couldn't help showing a moved expression.

Itachi almost saw through her thoughts at a glance, looked at her with some dark lines and said, "You think too much, it's just that there are no tasks during this time."

Even so, she was very touched. Itachi still brought her meals every day, "Itachi, you are such a good person."

So Itachi unknowingly received another good person card.

Because the wound on her body was healing and newborn, Eri always felt that the wound was very itchy in the middle of the night, but she didn't dare to scratch it, so she could only keep moving around to relieve the discomfort of her body. As a result, Eri slept very restlessly. The second day saw Itachi with two deep dark circles under his eyes.

"..." Itachi put the rice on the table, "What did you do at night?"

Eri was a little aggrieved, "I can't sleep because I'm uncomfortable."

But this time he didn't come alone. There was a small tail behind Itachi, and his head poked out from behind Itachi.

"Ah, Sasuke actually came to see me, I'm so happy." Eri greeted with a smile, but Sasuke just looked at her with a puffy face, and then raised his head to look at Itachi, "What my brother said is to visit her ?"

"That's right." Itachi nodded.

...Ahaha, that's really the case, Eri smiled awkwardly, she should have thought that the only thing Sasuke valued was his brother.

"Then you don't have to come every day." Sasuke complained with some dissatisfaction, "Obviously you agreed to practice with me."

"Sorry, Sasuke." Itachi smiled slightly and stretched out his finger to poke Sasuke's forehead lightly, "Next time."

Sasuke subconsciously took a step back, covered his forehead and looked at Itachi with a blushing face, then snorted awkwardly, "Brother is a big liar."

Itachi's expression became a little helpless, and then he sighed softly, "Eri is in the hospital now, no one can take care of her."

After all, they lived together for so long, and Sasuke knew more or less about the situation at Eri's house, so when he heard this, he immediately stopped, and said a little awkwardly, "Okay, sister, take good care of yourself .”

Eri blinked, then nodded happily, "Thank you, Sasuke."

Even though he is awkward and jealous, Sasuke is still a kind and good boy in essence.

When the bandages on her body were removed, Eri took a look in the mirror, and sure enough there was no scar left, except for the light color of the newborn skin, the physical injuries were completely invisible. If those memories can be forgotten, It was as if she had never encountered those things.

After carefully inquiring about her condition, the doctor told her that she could be discharged from the hospital. Eri had nothing to pack, and after she came out of Konoha Hospital, she didn't know where she should go.

Should I go to Itachi's house, or go back to my own house?Tong is no longer there, so she should go back to her home, but her key is still in Itachi's room, and she should have notified him when she was discharged from the hospital.

After all, she has lived with Itachi for so long, and when Eri was walking on the commercial street of the Uchiha clan, everyone greeted her very familiarly, without feeling like she was an outsider at all.

Of those things that happened to her, the Uchiha family probably knew the details only Shisui and Itachi. Although the others knew that she was injured and hospitalized, they didn't seem to know who did it.

When she was hospitalized, Itachi also explained to her that Tong is actually a spy. I don’t know how much Konoha Anbu kept this matter a secret, but after all, he didn’t catch Tong. I guess he will continue to investigate Tong’s traces. It is impossible for Konoha to let a former Anbu member with information about the village wander around outside.

When they reached Itachi's house, Eri walked around the door several times, feeling a little timid for some reason, after all, she hadn't been here for a long time.

"Ah, Eri?" The gentle voice behind her stunned Eri, and she turned her head to see Mikoto smiling at her, "Is your body alright?"

"It's almost done, thank you Itachi for taking care of me." Eri bowed sincerely.

When Eri mentioned Itachi, Mikoto's expression became a little subtle, and then she pushed open the door, "What are you doing standing at the door, come in."
