Chapter 64: Battle

 

When they entered the Konoha Hospital, Ryosuke could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze. Time seemed to stand still. Almost everyone was looking at the door, watching as they just walked in.

 

No one in the hall spoke, but the indifference and hatred in their eyes clearly conveyed their emotions. With so many people staring at her, Hinata found it hard to maintain her composure. She held Ryosuke's hand nervously and almost lowered her head. This kind of look and atmosphere really made her feel flustered.

 

"Excuse me...where is Uchiha Sasuke's room?" 

 

But Ryosuke turned a blind eye to the scene in front of him, as if he didn't notice the strange looks from these people, and strode to the counter of the service center with Hinata holding his hand. Hinata felt a lot more at ease when she felt the force holding her hand.

 

"Room 4...405."

 

The middle-aged woman who was in charge of recording the ward files at the counter was a little hesitant at first, but under the gaze of Ryosuke's Byakugan, she diligently told the location of the ward. After taking another look at the hospital's internal map and confirming the ward where Uchiha Sasuke was, Ryosuke nodded, said thank you, and turned to leave with the two of them. 

 

It was only after they walked into the corridor that the atmosphere in the hall returned to what it was before they came in.

 

"Why are the eldest daughter and young master of the Hyuga family together with that person?" 

 

"Look at the beard on his face, maybe..."

 

"Stop talking, it's bad luck!"

 

Thanks to his powerful sensory ability, the whispered discussions reached Ryosuke's ears but did not change the expression on his face in the slightest.

 

"Ryosuke is really amazing." 

 

Naruto, who had been silent since entering the hospital, finally spoke. His voice lost its usual calmness and became bitter. "How could you deal with those people without changing your expression..."

 

Ryosuke didn't reply. Even though Naruto had learned from him and had done well, he was still just a child at heart. 

 

In two lifetimes, there are many things and many people that Ryosuke really has no interest in paying attention to, or rather, he doesn't want to focus his energy on unimportant people or things. But Naruto couldn't completely not care; instead, he cared too much. It is for this reason that he will learn from Ryosuke and become a gentle person. He is trying to integrate into the group and make everyone recognize his existence.

 

"Four-zero-five."

 

The road was smooth and they soon arrived at Ward No. 5 on the fourth floor of the hospital. At this moment, Ryosuke could clearly feel that Sarutobi Hiruzen's observing them for the first time in a long time. It seems that their visit to Uchiha Sasuke has already been reported.

 

Swoosh——

 

After knocking twice gently, Ryosuke opened the door of the ward. The ward is not big, just an ordinary single cubicle. On the hospital bed, Uchiha Sasuke, who had not been seen for a long time, sat with his back leaning against the bed, looking out the window with lifeless eyes. Even when Ryosuke and the others came in, he didn't seem to notice.

 

"Sorry for the disturbance."

 

Regardless of the fact that Uchiha Sasuke ignored him, Ryosuke still acted politely. As he spoke, he led Naruto and the others into the house and closed the door of the ward. It was at this moment that Uchiha Sasuke slowly turned his head, and his lifeless dead fish eyes moved to look at Ryosuke and the others. Then, after seeing Ryosuke and Hinata, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

 

"What are the Hyuga family doing here? Are you here to watch a joke?"

 

His tone was filled with murderous intent, as if Sasuke was venting the fire that had been building up inside him for a while. However, it seems that most of the mental damage caused by Uchiha Itachi has been recovered, and what remains is only a deep shadow.

 

"Don't get me wrong, we are just leading the way."

 

Ryosuke ignored his look and pulled Hinata to sit on a chair nearby.

 

"I'm the one who came to find you, Uchiha Sasuke."

 

Under Uchiha Sasuke's puzzled gaze, Naruto took a step forward and stood in front of Sasuke. "I want to challenge you."

 

He smiled and told the purpose of his visit.

 

"...Challenge me?"

 

Sasuke frowned at his smile and words, finding them irritating. He turned around and glared at Ryosuke and the other man sitting on the chairs. "Did you bring this guy here to humiliate me?"

 

It was obvious that he had no idea what had happened in the school recently.

 

"When you took leave, Naruto won the first place in practical combat and third place in theory, and won the first place in his grade," Ryosuke explained with a smile.

 

"First place?"

 

Sasuke turned his head in surprise and looked at the playful and annoying yellow-haired boy in front of him. "How can such a guy who doesn't even dare to fight in actual combat get first place?"

 

In his eyes, Naruto watched other people's fights in the training ground every day after school. He didn't think that no one was willing to practice with Naruto, but that he didn't have the courage to fight.

 

"Actually... I have already submitted an application for early graduation assessment."

 

Naruto smiled and explained, "No matter what, I don't want to have any regrets in my school life, so I asked Ryosuke to bring me to you. The title of the top grade can only be earned by defeating you."

 

He never mentioned Ryosuke's strength. He knew that Ryosuke wanted to hide his own abilities, just like he himself had hidden a lot.

 

"Graduate early? Just because of you?"

 

The word "graduating early" seemed to irritate Sasuke. He clenched his fists and said, "You have only studied for one year, and you are qualified to pass the assessment? Ridiculous!"

 

As he spoke, he stood up from the bed.

 

"I accept your challenge. I remember your name is... Naruto? Haha, I will let you know what it means to be the top student in the grade and what it means to be a ninja. A ninja is not something that can be achieved by just a bunch of fancy-looking people."

 

As he said this, he glanced at Ryosuke and the other man meaningfully. However, Ryosuke always had a smile on his face, while Hinata always had a blank expression.

 

Naruto hesitated for a moment, "Let's make another appointment. Your body..."

 

"Even when I was in the hospital, I didn't forget my daily exercise."

 

Sasuke interrupted Naruto's next words with a cold look. "This is a challenge outside the school. Since you want to challenge me, you must be prepared to be killed. Are you mentally prepared?"

 

The fact that he applied for the graduation examination after only one year of studying in the Ninja School was really a huge shock to him. Naruto's posture and actions reminded him of someone. The man who would always smile gently in front of him, but at the same time made him hate him deeply.

 

"If it's convenient, would you allow us to watch the battle?"

 

But at this moment, Ryosuke's voice interrupted his thoughts. Sasuke turned around, looked at the boy and girl who stood up, and snorted disdainfully, "Whatever."
