Chapter Twenty-Four: Ichiraku Ramen
"Get out of the way!" With a cold female voice, Sasuke's body began to glow with purple light, and everyone looked back to see that it was a shrine maiden!
It was a spell from the ancient world, a voice preserved in the torrent of time.
The shrine maiden looked so sacred at this moment, her clothes and hair fluttering, like a fairy, but the purple light around her added a bit of superfluous mystery to her, making it impossible to forget his identity as a shrine maiden.
In that purple light, Sasuke floated in the air, his limbs hanging limply because he had lost his life support, and then, strings of characters burst out of the shrine maiden's body, like chains around Sasuke's body, and finally melted into Sasuke's pale body.
When everything was over, Kaori, who was closest to Sasuke, stepped over to Sasuke's side and listened carefully on his chest, delusionally hoping that he could still hear some sounds.
"It's useless, he didn't come back to life" The shrine maiden said lightly, "I just sealed his soul in my body, as for the rest, I have to rely on that woman"
"How long is the time limit" Itachi's voice finally sounded, and he was calm without trembling.
"Seven days" and then the shrine maiden added "Once the seven days are over, if he doesn't come back to life, his soul will disappear"
"Enough"
Two words, Itachi only said two words, and left the ward without looking back.
He thought, seven days is enough, no matter what, he has to save Sasuke, even if the world says he is despicable and shameless, he can't let Sasuke disappear!
"It seems that it has been decided" The witch leaned lazily against the window, looked at the direction Itachi left, and muttered to herself: "What a man who can't guess, obviously so gentle, but sometimes he is so ruthless, but Sasuke-kun, fortunately, he is not ruthless to you this time, but after that, Itachi-kun is afraid that he will blame himself for a long time, well, forget it, after all, the dead knot must be opened."
On the third day after Itachi disappeared, Kakashi received a message from Thunderkage and Iwakage, saying that they agreed to release Otsuki Koshi, which surprised Kakashi, but it was also expected, but he was still curious about what Itachi used to get the two to agree.
"Hopefully it's not the way to make Sasuke angry," Kakashi prayed to himself, genuinely feeling that the two brothers were a headache.
On the day of Kigoshi's release, Itachi returned to Konoha Village.
Walking in the sun, the more she felt extremely warm, she took a deep breath, looked back at Naruto and Itachi who were escorting her, and asked, "Can you wait?" I want to have a bowl of ramen first."
"Huh?" Naruto was a little surprised, "Do you mean Ichiraku ramen?" ”
"Well, yes" Yue nodded, always with a smile on his face.
"Yes," Itachi replied in a deep voice, with no expression on his face, as if he had a mask.
When they came to the downtown area, the quieter they were, and they didn't cause any commotion, although they were Konoha's key criminals, but not many people knew her, and the three of them came to Ichiraku Ramen, the quieter they listened to Naruto and Uncle Ichiraku, and they also learned to greet Uncle Naruto.
"Hmm... What do you want to eat? Ah, if it's as good as I am," Naruto said excitedly, perhaps because Sasuke was about to wake up, maybe because he finally had a chance to fulfill his promise, or maybe because someone was willing to taste the delicious food with him.
The more I smell the slightest aroma, quietly enjoying the three minutes of waiting that Naruto said, it is indeed painful, and for Naruto, who likes to eat ramen, it is indeed painful to smell but not eat.
And this simple pain is undoubtedly a kind of happiness for Yue.
The ramen was served, and Yue didn't rush to eat it, but looked at Naruto, and then followed his example, folded his hands and said "I'm moving" before starting to eat.
In the past, food was only a necessity for Yue to survive, and no one told her that the taste of food could be chosen, and no one taught her to be particular about eating.
"It's delicious!" Naruto asked happily, then turned to Itachi and asked if he would like to bring Sasuke a bowl of tomato-flavored ramen.
At the mention of Sasuke, Itachi's originally cold face showed a trace of warmth, "Sasuke's words, you can't eat these when you wake up"
"yes, yes, I forgot!" Naruto scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "But it's okay to eat it when he's better, I said I wanted to treat you to ramen!" ”
"Then I'll have a please," Itachi couldn't help but smile, "I haven't thanked you yet, Naruto"
There was the sound of the two chatting in his ears, and Yue Ye never spoke, just listening to the two chatting while savoring the ramen.
It was at this moment that the more I seemed to feel the existence of the beautiful name.
