Chapter 77: A Life in Imprisonment
At the same time, Hinata was house-arrested, not far from the Root base, there is a little boy who doesn't look tall. He looked cold, lurking in a secret place. And this little boy was Sasuke, who had just experienced the pain of losing his family not long ago.
Since the clan was destroyed, Naruto and Hinata have always been with him. This led to his self-righteous belief that Naruto and Hinata's company is normal and natural to be by his side, so he took the company of Naruto and Hinata for granted.
But when Naruto was arrested, and Hinata was banned.
Only then did he gradually discover...
'Huh?'
'What about them?'
'Why didn't Naruto and Hinata come to visit me?'
Is it true that they are really angry with him and have given up on him?
The more he thought about it, the more nervous and scared he felt. He has lost his parents. Lost family. He can no longer lose these two friends!
So, he was anxious.
Finally, he abandoned his pride and walked out of the clan residence again, trying to inquire about the news of his two friends. As soon as he inquires, it makes his heart feel more uncomfortable.
It turned out that Naruto went to Hokage Residence for him that day.
The result was him being arrested.
'No wonder he hasn't appeared in so many days.'
As for Hinata, needless to say, he guessed that she must have been banned. Otherwise, with Hinata's feelings for Naruto, Sasuke never believed that Hinata would have the heart to look at Naruto's arrest without doing anything.
'It turned out that it was all caused for me. It's because I've made my two friends tired.'
At this time, Sasuke felt even more guilty.
Next, according to the information obtained by the investigation, he continued to search for traces in the place where Naruto was arrested, trying to find out the direction where Naruto was taken.
After searching for several days in a row, almost all of Konoha was searched by him.
He finally found the entrance to the Root base.
It's a pity that no matter how hard he tried to fool them, the Root's people never let him in.
Without any choice, he had to stay behind to hide… Looking for opportunities to dive in and rescue Naruto!
As for the consequences? He didn't think about it, except Naruto and Hinata. He had nothing to lose.
Fortunately, his hard work paid off. He observed for several days in a row, and he really found a loophole time when Root ninja changed the guard.
As long as he catches the right time, he can definitely sneak in!
.....
The sun is shining.
The sweat on Sasuke's forehead shed little by little.
Finally, he waited for the opportunity.
In an instant, when the two Root ninjas just left, he flashed, forming a dark shadow and rushing past! It's a pity that before his shadow came into the entrance, he was directly bounced back by an invisible force.
The impulse hit Sasuke, the whole person was bounced and rolled several times, and then he fell to the ground.
He was completely confused about what was going on.
When he saw the situation in front of him, it was a masked Root ninja who was staring at him, "Boy, don't tell me you think you can hide from us?"
When he saw the figure of this person, Sasuke's complexion turned black!
'Damn it!'
'This is not the ninja who just left, so who is it?!'
It turned out that they just wanted to make fun of him!
Sasuke clenched his teeth, took the kunai from his waist, and his Three-Jade Sharingan opened. He rushed up again!
Only after one round Sasuke was knocked back again by the opponent.
He taunted: "Oh, Uchiha really isn't a good thing. Brat, your brother is a rebel... and you openly attacked our Root, do you plan to be a rebel too? If you attack me again, don't blame me for treating you as a traitor!"
Sasuke, who fell on the ground, gritted his teeth and gave the ninja a fierce look. He immediately climbed up, turned around, no longer being embarrassing to stay here.
.....
While on the way, Sasuke was extremely resentful!
He hates himself weak!
Hate himself without strength!
Not only can't he avenge his family, but now he can't even save Naruto!
Damn it!
Become-stronger!
No matter what method is used, I must become stronger!
...
In cell 78.
There is no place for excretion in the cell.
So every time Naruto excretes, he can only do it in the same corner.
Because it is too dark, he sometimes accidentally stepped on it, making the whole cell smelly. But Naruto doesn't care about these anymore.
After staying in the cell for a long time, he has long been accustomed to the smell and can't smell the difference.
His appearance is already sloppy and unhuman.
The hair is messed up like a ghost. The coat came off and served as a quilt. The upper body is so dirty that even the skin colour has changed. Even the cheeks were greasy.
But all of this, in the dark cell, he couldn't feel it. He only feels that time is passing very long, and his stomach is very hungry.
He just woke up. He walked to the iron wall again and scratched a straight line with my nails.
This is already the ninth straight line he scratched.
Every time he wakes up, he will scrape a straight line to record the outside world. In the end, a few days have passed. He's not sure if it is accurate or not. He can only use this method to record it.
Every time a line is scratched, he will look at that line and be in a daze for a long time.
All the past pictures passed in his mind.
'I don't know how Hinata is doing...'
'I don't know if Sasuke recovered...'
'If I only can see them... that's fine...'
Some footsteps suddenly came from the corridor outside the cell.
Naruto instantly opened his eyes and smiled, and his face was overjoyed!
As long as there are footsteps, it means that the food delivery person is here!
He quickly walked to the iron gate, squatted down, looked forward to the food-venting vents full of expectation, and didn't say anything like 'let me go'.
These words, as early as two days ago, he had no strength to shout.
The footsteps are getting closer and closer.
Naruto's breathing became more rapid.
DANGDANG-
A plate was pushed in.
What's on the plate is a slimy, unflavored hunger. This kind of hunger, even during the period when Naruto was bullied, he probably would not eat it. But now he treated it like a treasure… Because he had no choice.
If you want to survive here, you have to eat.
He picked up the plate and stood up.
Naruto was overjoyed and was about to run to the wall that had been scratched in a straight line, intending to eat there. Only by looking at those straight lines could he feel Hinata and Sasuke still accompanying him.
But after just a few steps away, he slipped by a pool of liquid on the ground.
There was another clatter.
But this time, it was the sticky food that was knocked down.
Naruto was nervous.
Hastily filled that tuft of hunger, grabbed it, and swallowed it.
But after only a few mouthfuls, Naruto was taken aback for a moment. He...he...how could he become like this? How could I be reduced to this look? Feeling such a huge change in himself, Naruto could no longer bear it. His nose was sore, cried, tears, nose, saliva, and hunger all mixed together.
"wu wu wu~"
"Why ~? Why did things become like this ~?"
"Why do they treat me like this?"
