Chapter 181 Ghost Lantern

After walking out of the hall, Uchiha Sasuke felt extremely irritable in his heart.

I saw him walking randomly in the tunnel.

Not long after, he met the angry Kidomaru in front of him, wandering like a lost soul.

"Hey!"

Sasuke called out.

Kidomaru was startled, and when he came to his senses, after seeing the person clearly, he quickly walked over and said:

“It turns out to be Sasuke-sama.

"How is it? Is everything going well? Where is the room assigned to you?"

"There are no arrangements yet."

Uchiha Sasuke answered while thinking randomly in his mind——

“For people like us, risks are everywhere, but opportunities are not so easy to encounter.

In this way, Kidomaru roughly guessed the reason why Sasuke was unhappy.

If Hyuga Neji really dies unfortunately tomorrow, then the person in front of him will also be buried with him.

Thinking of the huge risks Neji was in, and thinking of the promise he had made to Tenten, he just felt upset.

Turning around, he saw that Sasuke Uchiha was exuding a chaotic murderous aura, and his expression was very unkind.

"How could there be no arrangements?"

"He was planted with a cursed seal by Orochimaru, and he should be under care now."

Uchiha Sasuke was startled, and something in his heart seemed to be touched.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

Kidomaru said nonchalantly.

"Uh I see."

Other than that, there wasn't much other expression on his face.

Sasuke couldn't help but ask.

"To be honest, I think he's a really lucky guy."

He immediately fell silent, not daring to say anything more.

Uchiha Sasuke forced himself to calm down, regained his kind appearance, and asked.

As he asked, he carefully observed Kidomaru's expression. He had to know how dangerous this was.

The anxiety on his face could no longer be hidden.

Uchiha Sasuke interrupted Kidomaru's words and replied coldly.

"I said, that guy won't die so easily!

Kidomaru said seriously.

"For us, we just live as weakly as before, but in fact, we have nothing."

"But if you die, there will be nothing!"

Stop the topic immediately and try to talk about people and things that can make the other person feel more relaxed:

“So, why didn’t Hyuga Neji come out with you?

"I know you two are very good friends. I just watched him go in. Speaking of which, you two can spend the night together first."

Uchiha Sasuke blurted out.

Kidomaru shouted from behind.

He immediately stopped talking, turned around and walked back in the direction of Orochimaru.

"Compared with the huge power of gaining status in a short period of time, what is the probability of losing one's life?"

I just feel that the other party's point of view is ridiculous and difficult to understand.

"Lucky? But I heard that after planting a curse seal, there is a high probability that you will lose your life!"

But he soon stopped smiling and felt that the air around him was very strange.

"What do you think? I want you to tell the truth."

"Besides, since the four of us Sound Ninjas, there have been many iterations of the cursed seal experiment. I heard that the safety is getting higher and higher."

Uchiha Sasuke waved his hand and responded casually.

"So, it is indeed possible to die."

Kidomaru sighed.

Kidomaru said in relief.

“So, a ninja from a wealthy family like you won’t understand at all.

Sasuke turned his thoughts back.

"I'm really worried."

Kidomaru smiled in astonishment.

Seeing Sasuke's anxious look, he suddenly felt envious of Hinata Neji.

Thinking back to the night when I was killed out of the crowd and the curse was placed on me, did anyone really care about my life or death?

Thinking about it on the other hand, have you ever really cared about anyone's life or death?

If Sakon, who lived with him day and night, dies, then he dies.

Regarding the friendship between Sasuke and Neji, Kidomaru felt strange and somewhat curious about it.

Thinking of this, Kidomaru spoke again:

"Besides, if you are really nursing, you should go in this direction."

Kidomaru pointed in the opposite direction with one hand, gesturing for Sasuke to come with him.

"But."

Neji was here just now.

Uchiha Sasuke hesitated, and heard Kidomaru urging:

"Do you want to go see him or not?"

At the urging, Sasuke nodded quickly.

He quickly followed Kidomaru and walked towards the other side of the tunnel together.

Not long after, the two came to a gate.

The probe looked inside and saw some very precise experimental instruments everywhere.

In addition, bottles and cans of various sizes are displayed on the shelves on both sides.

The container is filled with liquids of various colors.

There are pink, bright red, green, blue, and most of them are transparent.

Various strange organs are soaked in the liquid.

Human, non-human.

Abnormal, non-abnormal.

Surrounding the bottles and jars are densely packed experimental data and attribute labels.

"I said, would Neji be in a place like this?"

Uchiha Sasuke looked around and asked.

"Shh! Keep your voice down, I've already violated the rules by bringing you here like this."

Kidomaru looked very nervous at the moment. As he spoke, he led Sasuke to continue walking forward and said:

"Don't touch anything, come with me!"

After turning the corner, a huge water tank stood in the new hall, which looked particularly eye-catching.

Unlike the previous bottles and jars, this huge transparent water tank seemed to contain only water and nothing else.

Although it looked very strange, Uchiha Sasuke was concerned about Neji's safety and had no time to think about it and continued to walk quickly forward.

However, out of the corner of his eye, Sasuke could only feel the liquid in the water tank nearby surging.

Obviously, there is no power device and no external force acting on this water tank.

How could this liquid move out of thin air?

Before Sasuke could think about it, a huge grinning grimace flashed past in the water tank.

Sasuke blinked and turned to look again. The water tank was calm again, as if nothing had happened.

"what happened?"

Seeing Sasuke suddenly stand still, Kidomaru asked in a low voice.

"I seemed to see a human face in that water tank."

"."

Kidomaru was not very familiar with the things here, but to be honest, this was nothing new in Orochimaru's base.

"Let's go, Neji is right in front."

Kidomaru stared at the water tank for two seconds, but didn't find anything strange, so he persuaded in a low voice and walked forward first.

Just as Sasuke was about to follow, a slight call came from his ears, like a child playing, and the voice seemed to say:

"Come"

"Come and play with me."

Sasuke frowned, wondering what was pretending to be here.

I couldn't help but turn around and strode towards the water tank, wanting to take a closer look at everything.

"Don't touch him!"

Seeing that Sasuke didn't follow him, Kidomaru couldn't help but exclaimed when he turned around.

Sasuke was startled, looked up, looked over Kidomaru's shoulder, and found Yakushi Kabuto standing at the end of the road.

At this time, he looked expressionlessly in the direction of the two of them.

"Sasuke-sama, this is not a place where you can just go sightseeing."

Kabuto Yakushi said calmly.

"pocket?!

"Mr. Kabuto."

After hearing the sound, Kidomaru turned around suddenly.

He only saw Kabuto Yakushi looking at him, feeling greatly flustered in his heart.

"I just want Sasuke-sama to take a look at Hinata Neji. He, he is very worried, so..."

Kidomaru explained in a panic.

Normally, he was not afraid of Yakushi Kabuto.

There isn't much interaction between the two.

However, the other party is the most trusted person in front of Orochimaru.

At present, I have violated the rules first. If this matter comes to the ears of Lord Orochimaru, I am afraid.

"At this time, you should have fallen asleep. I think maybe Sasuke-sama came here by mistake. What do you think?"

Kabuto Yakushi asked calmly.

"Thank you Mr. Dou!"

A look of surprise flashed across Kidomaru's face, and he immediately bowed.

He left this place as if fleeing.

"Long time no see, bastard." After seeing Kidomaru walk away, Uchiha Sasuke said hello.

This person has already fought against him twice.

Seeing this guy again, Sasuke felt his fists itching.

"Lord Sasuke, these times are different from the past. From today on, I am also your loyal assistant and servant."

Medicine Master Kabuto persuaded calmly with no expression on his face.

"Where's Neji?"

At this moment, Uchiha Sasuke didn't want to cause trouble and asked.

"inside.

"Please come with me."

After Yakushi Kabuto finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the inner room.

Uchiha Sasuke was about to follow him when he heard another faint sneer from a boy in his ears.

Sasuke looked around and saw that there was still nothing in the water tank.

Sasuke carefully studied the relevant identification stickers.

In the corner of the water tank, I could vaguely see a few words.

On it, there seemed to be several words written "Ghost Lantern."

For some reason, Sasuke just felt that these two words were so familiar, as if he had seen or heard them somewhere.

"Sasuke-sama!"

Just when Sasuke was about to step forward to take a closer look, Yakushi Kabuto's urging came to his ears again.

Sasuke had Neji on his mind and couldn't care less about the delay.

He responded in his mouth and hurried towards the direction of Medicine Master's Kabuto.

Entering the inner room, a dark green curtain was being opened and hung.

Looking past the curtain, Sasuke saw a single hospital bed lined with sponge leather mattress, and Hyuga Neji was lying on it.

I saw that his clothes were open and he was breathing heavily.

There was a fever-reducing paper charm taped to his forehead, and a tube connected to his arm.

A thin needle was inserted into the skin, and some liquid was being fed into his body from a bottle on the side.

"How about it?"

Uchiha Sasuke's eyes darkened and he had no choice but to turn around and ask Yakushi Kabuto.

"He is very strong and his most dangerous time is over.

"The auxiliary devices you see are all to make him more comfortable, this one to cool down, this one to replenish water and energy."

Kabuto the pharmacist introduced it while looking at the infusion bottle.

Then he walked around again, debugging and configuring new potions.

"Next, you will experience about three recurrences of high fever. But you don't have to worry, the relevant equipment is available here, and any accidents are controllable.

"It is expected that he will wake up completely tomorrow afternoon at the latest. At that time, we will further develop and use the curse seal plan for him."

Kabuto Yakushi's voice was steady and professional, and he looked very reliable.

Hearing what he said, Uchiha Sasuke felt a little relieved.

He casually moved a stool aside and sat down next to Neji.

"What are you doing sitting here?

"You've seen it all, go back to sleep."

Yakushi Kabuto was slightly startled, and then said half-jokingly:

"Don't worry! If he dies, I won't be the first to survive, right?"

Uchiha Sasuke didn't answer, as if he didn't hear him at all, his face expressionless.

He just sat there quietly, staring down at Hinata Neji who was still unconscious.

"I heard that you killed Sakon and Ukon?"

Seeing that Sasuke didn't reply for a long time, Kabuto Yakushi continued to find a topic and asked.

"Yes."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded and admitted very simply.

I’ve done everything, but I’m still worried that you won’t be able to ask?

"Do you want to help him get revenge?"

Uchiha Sasuke asked casually.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Kabuto Yakushi laughed dumbly, as if Sasuke said something very strange.

He adjusted his glasses and said:

"A good-for-nothing ninja who overestimates his capabilities, gets into trouble, and dies in battle. Will anyone really care about him?"

Uchiha Sasuke was silent, thinking to himself.

In the Otoyin Ninja Village, from top to bottom, there seems to be no concept of companions.

"I mean, after Sakon died, his room became vacant. If you don't mind, you can stay in his room."

Kabuto Yakushi continued to chat seemingly casually.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

On the hospital bed, Hinata Neji coughed violently again.

Uchiha Sasuke stood up quickly, looking confused but at a loss.

I saw green chakra emerging from Kabuto Yakushi's hands, floating above Neji's body, and he immediately performed "Medical Ninjutsu and Palm Senjutsu".

"However, speaking of it, it does seem a bit unlucky, haha. After all, he died in your hands. Are you afraid of ghosts?"

While Yakushi Kabuto was treating Neji, he continued to chat about the topic he started:

"But at your level, it's really difficult to arrange a room."

With the treatment of Palm Senjutsu, Neji's condition improved visibly, and his frown gradually relaxed.

Seeing this scene, Sasuke's heart slowly dropped, he sat back in his seat again and said:

"It's okay, just make arrangements."

"Hey! There's a good place to go!"

Yakushi Kabuto retracted his palm, as if he had thought of something, stretched out a finger, made a happy expression, and said:

"Since Kimimaro was abandoned, his room has been empty. I heard from Danzo that Kimimaro is still relatively close to you in Konoha, right?"

Is this a temptation?

Uchiha Sasuke quickly reviewed his version of the story in his mind and said slowly:

"Yes. I am willing to make friends with any strong person. As long as he can help me realize my dream.

"It's a pity that Kimimaro was really heartbroken by Orochimaru. Otherwise, I would have been sure to bring him here with me."

"Is he like that too?"

A white light flashed through Yakushi Kabuto's spectacles. He pointed at Hinata Neji on the hospital bed and asked directly.

"I know what you're thinking."

Uchiha Sasuke sneered and continued:

“Taking advantage of others and being emotionally invested are not mutually exclusive.

“In fact, if you don’t really invest emotionally, how can you maximize the use of others?

"Do you really think everyone else is a fool?"

Uchiha Sasuke was still staring closely at Hinata Neji on the hospital bed. The concern and tension on his face were indeed there.

Yakushi Kabuto was shocked and heard Sasuke ask again:

"Speaking of which, would you be a fool?

"What? Didn't Orochimaru tell Kimimaro that he is a flower in the world?

"You must have been coaxed by him like that, right? Hahahaha."

"Shut up!"

//

"I value your talents more than anyone else."

//

The words Orochimaru once said to him flashed through Yakushi Kabuto's heart.

In my ears, Uchiha Sasuke's laughter seemed so harsh.

"That's not coaxing. Orochimaru-sama, you don't need to tell any lies to someone like me."

Kabuto Yakushi's voice returned to calmness and he murmured.

"I know that's definitely not coaxing."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded.

Then he picked up the towel on the side and wiped the sweat from Hinata Neji's forehead.

Originally, Kabuto Yakushi just wanted to test how far the dark side in Uchiha Sasuke's heart had developed.

As a bystander, compared to Orochimaru, he was more doubtful about whether Sasuke's motive for coming this time was really as simple as he said.

After all, he had stayed in Konoha Ninja Village for a long time, and had seen with his own eyes what the ninjas would become under the influence of the "Will of Fire".

According to Kabuto Yakushi, friendship and darkness are two things that cannot appear together.

However, the other party directly brought the topic to himself and Lord Orochimaru.

Moreover, there is an implicit analogy in it.

Once such a connection is successfully established, then Uchiha Sasuke will show all his care and kindness to Neji.

In Yakushi Kabuto's eyes, everything turned into a heart-breaking act.

Denying the argument that "investing in emotions and using others" can coexist means denying the relationship between oneself and Lord Orochimaru, which means denying one's own life.

On the other hand, if he admits that "investing in emotions and using others" can coexist, then he has to accept Sasuke's explanation and admit that there is no doubt in his current performance.

Looking at Uchiha Sasuke's slightly tired profile, Yakushi Kabuto couldn't help but sigh.

He is obviously just a kid, but he has such a clear and self-consistent logic in his heart.

Kabuto Yakushi was silent for a long time. Seeing that Neji's condition gradually stabilized, he said:

"Then, Sasuke-sama, if you don't mind, I will arrange for you to live in Kimimaro's former room. The situation on Neji's side has stabilized, please come with me."

Uchiha Sasuke shook his head and said:

"I'm not tired, just sit here."

You are not tired, I am tired.

Kabuto Yakushi no longer had the intention to test, and sleepiness came over him, and he couldn't help but yawn.

"You go to bed first, Kabuto. If anything happens here, I can go to you as soon as possible."

In fact, we also have Otogakure medical ninjas who can help us, and we can let them take on the duties of nurses.

Kabuto Yakushi opened his mouth, but seeing Sasuke's determined expression, he was still unable to say this suggestion.
