Chapter 213: The Fate of the Two Brothers
"Really...... Why do villains like to dig their bases deep and dark underground? It's like a mouse."
Bai Qi pushed open the door and walked into the bedroom, grumbling as he threw Sasuke, who was unconscious on his shoulder, on the bed. This bedroom is like Bai Qi's complaint, buried deep in the ground, and it is small and dark, and the only lighting in the room is a candle on the table, and the flame flickers on and off, as if it will be extinguished at any moment.
"That's why you feel like a villain, you know? We're villains, so we should live in this small, dark, and trendy underground stronghold where we can't see the sun all day. Peggy Uzumaki walked behind Bai Qi and said as a matter of course.
Bai Qi obviously scoffed at Peggy Vortex's bizarre theory: "Villains have no human rights." She walked to the corner chair and sat down, took a piece of bubble gum from her pocket and threw it into her mouth, looked at Sasuke who was sleeping on the bed, and muttered bubble gum in her mouth. "I've got him back, but what are you going to do next?"
Peggy Uzumaki tilted her head and muttered for a while: "This...... To be honest, I didn't think about it well, and at the beginning, I took on this task with the idea of 'I can't let Li Xiao grab Sasuke', and now that Sasuke has grabbed it back, I really don't know what to do with him. β
"In order to prevent future troubles, let's just do him." Bai Qi blew a super large red bubble in his mouth, raised his hand and made a "throat cutting" motion.
"Don't say such a terrible thing with a calm face!" As a result, Peggy Uzumaki immediately exploded.
With a "snap", the big bubble in Bai Qi's mouth was exploded by the whirlpool page's throat, which confused Bai Qi's face. Bai Qi had a speechless expression: "Hey, are you also a villain like this?" β
"Who says villains have to kill? I don't remember raising you to be such a horrible child. Peggy Uzumaki crossed her hands on her hips and severely criticized Bai Qi.
Bai Qi: "Anyway, you didn't support me for a few days." β
Peggy Uzumaki: "I don't remember raising you to be a talkative. β
"Yesβyesβ" Bai Qi replied perfunctorily in a long voice.
Peggy Uzumaki turned her head to look at Sasuke, who was still unconscious on the bed, thought for a moment, and then said, "Give Sasuke to Obito for the time being, he knows how to train him." β
"Sasuke's things are all right, let's go eat, I'm hungry." Bai Qi lay on the back of the chair, with an attitude of not caring about anything, and said lazily.
Uzumaki Peggy rolled her eyes helplessly: "You, you know how to eat all day long." Well, I'll take you to dinner. β
"Yay!" Bai Qi immediately cheered and jumped up from the chair.

Li Xiao stood in front of the window of the infirmary, looking at Kakashi's back with a nervous expression. Kakashi was standing in front of Itachi's hospital bed, and at this moment he was applying a seal to Itachi's body that would restrict the flow of chakra. Although Itachi is still in a coma, Kakashi must make plans for Itachi to wake up, with Itachi's strength, once he wakes up, even if he is already seriously injured, Kakashi does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to keep him, so Kakashi must take precautions.
"Are you sure this sealing technique won't make Itachi's injuries worse?" Li Xiao asked with some concern, he was not worried that the weasel would escape, he was even more worried that this sealing technique would accidentally kill the weasel, after all, the weasel was still in danger.
"Don't worry, I'm measured, this sealing technique doesn't cause any damage to his body except that it will restrict his chakra flow." Kakashi's right hand pressed against Itachi's chest, and white steam rose from under his palm, and after a "hiss", Kakashi removed his hand, and a strange black spell mark appeared on Itachi's chest. This spell mark was composed of a strange script that Li Xiao couldn't understand at all, and Li Xiao estimated that it might be some kind of incantation, and these incantations were neatly arranged together, forming a graceful circle on the ferret's chest.
Kakashi looked at his "masterpiece" and let out a long breath, it seemed that this sealing technique was also very chakra-intensive. Then Kakashi turned around and looked at Li Xiao, "It's done." β
Li Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know much about sealing, but my intuition tells me that your seal may not be able to stop the weasel." β
"Perhaps, but even so, I have to do something." Kakashi smiled, smiling very calmly.
Li Xiao's gaze crossed Kakashi, looked at Itachi who was lying unconscious on the hospital bed, and asked, "What is Konoha going to do with Itachi?" β
Kakashi walked up to Li Xiao and leaned against the wall next to him, "It's not something I can control, Hokage-sama has his own decision." β
"If you want to kill the Itachi, I'm not going to sit idly by." Li Xiao's tone became serious.
"If everything you said about Itachi is true, then I don't think Hokage-sama would have executed Itachi, after all, he was the hero of the village. However, Itachi finally killed his own Manmen, and it will be difficult for him to return to Konoha in the future. After saying that, Kakashi sighed deeply, very emotional.
Sasuke's recovery mission failed, and Naruto and his party were supposed to return to Konoha immediately to report on their duties, but now because of Itachi, they were dragged in this town. Kakashi didn't let this waiting time go to waste, he organized a manpower search for information on Akatsuki and Sasuke, leaving two people to watch over Itachi every day. Thankfully, they didn't have to wait long, and after five days, the weasel, who had been unconscious, finally woke up.
The people in charge of staying behind at that time were Kokoo and Hinata, and when they found out that Itachi had woken up, the two immediately notified the others through secret arts, and ten minutes later, everyone was crowded into Itachi's hospital room.
Li Xiao and Naruto were the last to arrive, and after entering the ward, Li Xiao saw Itachi sitting on the hospital bed at first sight, he looked very weak, his face was pale and scary, and his long black hair was scattered in a mess. However, hidden under his hair, his dark eyes were still deep as if he could see through everything, and even though he was surrounded by so many people and was extremely weak, Itachi's face was still calm and unwavering.
Seeing that the weasel finally woke up, Li Xiao's heart that had been hanging finally let go, he couldn't help laughing, strode to the weasel's hospital bed, and said happily: "Weasel, you are finally awake!" β
Itachi looked up at Li Xiao, and his indifferent face finally showed the first expression he had after waking up: a smile, he said to Li Xiao: "I can still sit here alive now, I think I should thank you, thank you, Li Xiao." β
Itachi was very sincere. Although he once wanted to die at Sasuke's hands, now that he survived, he was still grateful to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao waved his hand indifferently: "Thank you later, you just woke up now, it's better not to say too much." β
Seeing Li Xiao casually talking to Itachi, Naruto and Sakura both showed expressions of disbelief, except for Li Xiao and Su Xiaoxiao in this small ward, everyone was facing Itachi as if they were a great enemy, although Itachi was so weak that he could barely stand up. Even Kakashi, underneath his calm exterior, his tight strings never let go for a moment - Kakashi had one of Itachi's moon readings, and that wasn't a good memory, and he didn't want to hit it a second time.
"Itachi Uchiha! Where's Sasuke?! After Li Xiao finished speaking, Naruto immediately stood up and couldn't wait to question Itachi.
Itachi glanced at Naruto, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face sank: "It seems that Sasuke was still taken away by him." β
"Taken by whom?" Naruto then asked.
"Naruto!" Su Xiaoxiao opened his mouth to stop Naruto. "Now is not the time to ask questions, the ferret is still weak."
"It's okay, I'm glad Naruto cares so much about Sasuke." Itachi smiled again, a happy smile. But then, Itachi's face changed suddenly, and he lowered his head and coughed violently.
"Ahem! Cough! Cough! β
The quiet needle drop could be heard in the ward, and the weasel's voice sounded particularly painful. When Itachi finally stopped coughing and looked up again, his palms were already covered with blood.
Seeing this, Sakura immediately stepped forward and began to treat Itachi, "Don't move. Sakura placed her hand in front of Itachi's chest, her palm glowing softly green.
Itachi looked weakly at Sakura's serious side face and said, "Thank you." β
Sakura replied coldly: "I'm here for Sasuke." β
Itachi couldn't help but smile, "It's great that Sasuke can have friends like you. β
Sakura glanced at Itachi in confusion, for a long time, the Itachi in her mind has always been a cold-blooded murderous devil, but today's Itachi gave her a completely different feeling, could it be that what Li Xiao said was really true?
After Sakura treated Itachi for a while, Itachi's injury finally stabilized again, and then he looked up at Naruto and said slowly, "Naruto, just ask whatever you want." β
