Inside a ward at Konoha Village Hospital.

Sasuke, dressed in a crisp white hospital gown, lay on the bed and fell into a coma.

I don't know how long it took, but he slowly opened his eyes.

"Sss The moment he opened his eyes, Sasuke involuntarily gasped and frowned.

Intense pain.

It was the only thing he could feel after opening his eyes, and there were bursts of sharp pain all over his body, as if his body had been torn apart.

The good news is that the pain, though intense, lasts for a very short time, probably only a few seconds before it disappears quickly, otherwise if it continues, Sasuke will feel like he will faint again.

"Sakura-chan? Why are you here, and what is this place? How did I end up here? ”

After the pain subsided, Sasuke sat up from the hospital bed, and then he saw Sakura sitting on the chair next to the bed, now holding an apple in her hand and peeling it leisurely.

"You're awake, this is Konoha Hospital, Kakashi sent you here, and he asked us to come and see you."

Sakura didn't show a hint of surprise when she saw Sasuke wake up, just glanced at him faintly, and then lowered her head and peeled the apple intently.

"Kakashi sent me here...... What about others? Sasuke also remembered at this time that he was originally taken by Kakashi to a place to seal the curse seal, and then fainted due to intense pain during the sealing process, and now it seems that Kakashi should have sent himself here after he passed out.

"Oh, you said he, after the exam, he went to see the Hokage with Kaori, and he didn't have time to take care of you, so please ask me and Naruto to come over and see how you are doing."

"Oh" Sasuke nodded, then his eyes widened in disbelief and said, "Wait, what did you say?" End of Exam...... Could it be that the middle ninja exam has ended? How long have I been in a coma? ”

Sakura shook her head, "Oh, sorry, you misunderstood, I mean the qualifiers are over, and the third official match won't start until a month later, and you haven't been in a coma for long, it's only been a few hours now." ”

"Oh." Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sakura-chan, do you know Orochimaru?" After a moment of silence, Sasuke suddenly asked.

"Orochimaru? I know a little bit, but what do you ask him for? Sakura wondered.

Sakura said in her heart, "Why did Sasuke suddenly ask about Orochimaru?" He shouldn't have known that Uncle Snake had cast a curse on him. ”

"Sakura-chan, you saw the way I looked in the Forest of Death before, right?"

"What does that look like?"

"It's the kind of black lines that appear on my face."

"Oh, you mean the way you suddenly made a second mistake at the time, you see, what's wrong?"

Sasuke said, "You were the first to faint, so I don't know, I became like that, because the strange woman we met left this special spell mark on me, and now I know that that the strange woman was actually Orochimaru disguised." ”

Sasuke said, turning his neck so that Sakura could see the curse mark on his neck.

"That's right." Sakura nodded, her expression of sudden realization, pretending to know about it.

"Still, how did you know that woman was Orochimaru in disguise?" Sakura asked, still not figuring out why the second pillar knew about it now.

"That's right......" Sasuke told Sakura all the things he told Sakura, starting from discovering that Bronze Armor's eyes were wrong and suspecting that he might have something to do with Orochimaru, to deliberately showing weakness, and then knowing these things from Bronze Armor's mouth.

After listening to this, Sakura said speechlessly, "So that's why you worked so hard to get rid of him." ”

Sakura was very puzzled when she was watching from the sidelines, with the strength of the two pillars, she should be able to defeat the waste of the red copper armor in three or two clicks, how did you do it with a sweat and smoke bombs and thunder clones, if it weren't for Sakura knowing that Kishimoto's original book couldn't lie to herself, she almost wondered if the red copper armor was a hidden master.

However, although Sakura said this, she also sighed in her heart: "Sasuke's observation is too good, he can notice it with a little eye, and his brain seems to be much better than before." ”

Sakura said: "I don't know much about Orochimaru, I only know that he used to be a disciple of the three generations of Hokage, and together with the other two disciples of the three generations of Hokage, he was collectively called Konoha Sannin, but he defected more than ten years ago without knowing why, and now he is a traitor wanted by Konoha Shinobi." ”

The information provided by Sakura is basically useless to Sasuke, and it can only be said that talk is better than nothing, but Sasuke is not too disappointed, and he has long expected this, Sakura is just a shinobi after all, and she is only a civilian ninja, if she knows a lot, it will seem abnormal.

Sasuke's face was gloomy, Orochimaru's affair had put a lot of pressure on him, but fortunately he didn't know what Orochimaru had seen with Kakashi after she passed out, otherwise the pressure would have been even greater

Sakura looked at Sasuke's gloomy look and rolled her eyes, and said, "Okay, don't be so sad, the sky is falling, and Orochimaru can't take our turn to deal with it, so let the Hokage follow and bear them to worry about it, oh, this is for you." Sakura said, handing the apple in her hand to Sasuke.

This apple is on the way to Sakura considering that it is not good to visit the patient empty-handed, so I went to buy some fruit, and when I came, I found that Sasuke had been unconscious, and Sakura was bored and practiced peeling apples.

But it seems that Sakura doesn't have any talent in peeling apples.,I accidentally cut off more than half of the apples.,I had to start over with a new one.,Just tossed it for a long time.,The apples are almost used up by Sakura.,Only to make a decent finished product.。

"No need." Sasuke refused, his mind was now full of Orochimaru's affairs, where was he in the mood to eat apples.

But immediately, he had a shuddering feeling, and turned his head to see Sakura looking at him with a kind smile on his face, looking very friendly, but the sharp-eyed Sasuke immediately noticed that Sakura's empty left hand was slowly clenched into a fist.

"It took me so much effort to get it done, you ...... Is it true that you don't eat it? ”

The corners of Erzhuzi's mouth twitched, and he was silent for two or three seconds, and then picked up the apple. Gulped.

Sakura nodded and said with satisfaction, "Very good, this is good." ”
