After helping Kito Suigetsu and Juugo measure their sizes, Uchiha smiled and waved to the black-haired boy who was sitting on his knees and carefully recording the data: "Come on, Sasuke, it's your turn."

Uchiha Sasuke stood up silently and walked in front of her. Although he actually felt that this kind of thing was unimportant, he did not want to deliberately say such depressing words when everyone seemed to be happy.

It makes no sense.

"Hmm... I feel like you've grown a lot taller than when autumn first came." Uchiha stood up on tiptoes and gestured with a ruler, and muttered, "Well, you're a little stronger too.

I was really too thin at that time. However, my waist is still so thin, it seems to be natural."

Uchiha Sasuke thought silently and helplessly: If you are "watched" eating three meals a day, it is impossible to continue to lose weight.

After all, the reason why he was like that at that time...

It was also because I had no appetite and didn’t eat well at all.

However, since meeting her, this kind of thing has completely come to nothing. Because she has three meals regularly, she will catch him to eat together.

"The body proportions are really good~" Uchiha said with a smile to Xianglin who was helping to record the data.

"Of course!" The red-haired girl once again showed the qualities of a "number one loyal fan", "After all, this is Sasuke! Everything is the best!"

Uchiha Sasuke: "..." I don't want to speak.

Soon, Uchiha finished measuring everything. She stood behind the boy and put away the ruler. She stretched out her hand again with some pity and gestured at his waist. When he turned around with a "huh?", she said softly and seriously with her eyes.

: "Although it's much better than before, you still need to continue to eat seriously. Sasuke, you are still a little too thin now. You are not a pure speed ninja, so it is still necessary to increase your weight and muscles appropriately."

"..."

"And..." Uchiha's eyes trembled slightly, he slowly raised his hand and grabbed his left arm, and said with a worried expression, "It's getting colder, will it hurt a lot here?"

As soon as these words came out, the other three people didn't look over again - she was really the only one who could poke Sasuke's pain point so "openly", but everyone knew that she didn't mean anything else, she was really just worried.

.

Therefore, Uchiha Sasuke did not have any negative emotions in his heart, nor did he feel that it was hurting his self-esteem to be said like this by her. He also did not mind being looked at by the other three members of the Eagle Team, so he just replied: "No.

, the wound has healed long ago." Maybe many people in the world will laugh at him, but these people will not.ωωw..net

"...Liar." Uchiha gently touched his left arm and whispered sadly, "Phantom limb pain actually persists, right?"

Uchiha Sasuke was silent.

Because it's the truth.

Moreover, this mental pain seems to have deepened as the seasons change and the weather gets colder. Recently, he has felt strong pain in his sleep several times in the middle of the night. Last night, he woke up panting and in pain.

Come over, he thought she didn't notice, but it seems...

It was eventually discovered.

Uchiha sighed slightly, then opened her arms and hugged the boy in front of her. Many times, she felt pity for him and had almost inexhaustible tenderness and patience. She was not sure what this emotion was.

But if it’s the love that others mentioned, then she probably loves him as her husband very much, but she just can’t be “as passionate about him as he said before”. That... well, it’s really too embarrassing.

She did.

With this thought, she whispered: "It would be great if there was some ninjutsu that could divert the pain."

She would rather be in pain for him than see him in pain.

"...You don't need that kind of thing, and I won't use it if you have it." Uchiha Sasuke used a little force and relatively gently to break away from the hug of the person behind him, and replied in the same low voice.

"..." Uchiha lowered his head.

Uchiha Sasuke turned around, took the tape measure from her hand with his remaining right arm, and said calmly: "It's your turn." After that, he opened his lips slightly and bit the tape measure with his white and neat teeth.

The beginning of , with a slight tug. The meaning is obvious——

He measured her personally.

Uchiha blinked in surprise, but it was nothing. He just raised his finger and pointed at his shoulder, indicating that he could start from here. As for the rest...

Well, since Sasuke wanted to help, then she would also lend a hand.

Kiden Shuiyue and Zhongwu both looked at this scene with smiles.

Xiang Rin puffed up her face, but she didn't say anything. After all, Sasuke took the initiative and was willing to do it. What could she say? Humph. For the sake of the new ninja tool he just bought and the new clothes he will soon have, let's forgive her.

.

After that, all the data of the four people were recorded completely, and then everyone went to the fabric store to select fabrics and styles.

Although Uchiha Sasuke was not very interested in this or lacked interest, he still participated in the whole process and did not leave halfway, which was enough to show his attitude.

The bad news is that because there are too many customized items, it will take a little time to wait for the clothes to be made. The good news is that because they are a big customer, the boss gave them a slight discount and also gave them extra high-quality towels.

Such items can be said to be an unexpected surprise.

Because of this, everyone decided to stay in this border town for a few more days.

at night.

The hotel's private bath room.

Naked and with one arm broken, Uchiha Sasuke stood up from the warm water, walked up the steps, and walked out of the bath. Even with part of his limbs missing, his body was still astonishingly beautiful, like

The stone sculpture is a work of art, and it is like a mermaid walking out of the deep sea. It is slender and tall. As he walks, crystal water drops slowly slide down his body.

Who can turn a blind eye to such beauty?

Kiden Suigetsu and Chonggo are fine.

Because I'm used to it.

Uchiha Sasuke is also very calm.

Because I'm used to being looked at.

After all, during the years he was in the Snake Cave, he always had to make potions or something, and after the formation of the Eagle Squad, they would sometimes take a bath together. After all, we were all men, so there was nothing to worry about.

In the same way, since we are all men, what is there to appreciate? Anyway, we have everything we should have.

"Huh?" Kito Suigetsu, who was comfortably soaking in the water, turned around and said, "Sasuke, don't you want to continue soaking?"

"Yes." Uchiha Sasuke replied without turning around, "I'm going back to rest, you continue."

"Then you have a good rest." Zhongwu said, and then watched until the black-haired boy's slender back disappeared.

"If you are really worried, do you want to go and have a look?" Gui Deng Shuiyue said.

"No..." Zhongwu replied seriously, "There's nothing to worry about." In the past, he really wouldn't be worried, but now, "Xi Yan is here."

"That's right." Gui Deng Shui Yue nodded, then folded his arms and said with a smile, "It would be good to have a wife. It makes me want to get married too."

"..." Zhongwu remained silent regarding such words that obviously could not be taken seriously.

"But then again," Kiden Shuiyue asked with a smile, "Zhonggo, do you think those two are really a couple?"

After several months of observation, if you say "Sasuke and Xiyan are relatives", they will definitely believe it; but if you say they are a couple... well, anyway, they always feel that something is wrong, but they can't explain why.

, after all, they have not grown up in a serious family and do not know what a real couple should be.

After Jugo was silent for a while, he replied in a calm tone: "It doesn't matter whether it is or not, as long as Xi Yan stays with Sasuke, it will be fine."

"Hmm... That makes sense." Gui Deng Shuiyue nodded, "I've heard people say that the most common family configuration in this world is a strict father and a loving mother, that is to say, a strict father and a gentle mother. If you say

, In our world, Orochimaru plays the role of 'father', so, right, he just lacks the role of a mother?" He turned around, lay down by the bathtub, and said with a smile, "Xi Yan, it seems that he was born

There is no woman who can fill this gap."

Chonggo didn't think this was rude. The long-term tacit understanding of cooperation allowed him to understand the meaning of his teammates' words——

Be gentle, kind, considerate, patient, help them arrange tasks, take good care of their lives, give them living expenses, buy them ninja tools, help them make clothes...

The girl who habitually takes care of them like this is indeed...

She is like a mother and a sister, and is like the "embodiment of warmth and peace" in the family. People like her very much and subconsciously want to rely on her.

Very well…

Filling in a certain part that has been missing in their lives for so many years.

In fact, not only them, but even Xianglin probably thinks this way. Therefore, although he verbally says things like "hateful", "stole Sasuke", "I will not be bribed easily", in fact, at all,

I can't help but hate her.

Who would hate someone who treats them gently?

Especially in their previous lives, they had hardly received anything well.

"So," Kito Suigetsu concluded his speech, "If I was surprised at first, then I can now understand why Sasuke chose Yugao. And, like you, I also hope that they can always be together...

No, if we can all be together all the time, then maybe one day..."

Sasuke's powerful and beautiful eyes may be able to look away from the past and look at the present.

It would be great if that was the case.

the other side.

When Uchiha Sasuke returned to the room and closed the door, he happened to see the girl kneeling in front of the dressing table that came with the hotel room. She raised her hand and took off the wooden hairpin used in the shower. Her thick and thick black hair instantly poured out.

And down.
