Chapter 171 My old self

"What did he lie to you about?" Beiliuhu's eyes narrowed, determined to get to the bottom of it.

"He lied..." Haruko was about to say but was interrupted by Orochimaru.

"It's a private matter between the two of us." Orochimaru's gilded snake pupils slid coldly across Obito's unfriendly face, as if mocking his anger, "Besides, what does it have to do with you?"

Hiruhu's face darkened, and for a moment he really wanted to ignore the situation and attack Orochimaru directly, blowing him up until only a snake skin was left.

But when he saw Haruko curiously looking at what he was doing, Hiruzen suppressed his murderous intent and gave her an ugly smile.

Haruko, who just wanted to watch the show: There was no fight, what a pity...

"But..." Orochimaru's charming face suddenly moved closer to Haruko, and he said in a voice that both of them could hear, "My feelings are all true. Maybe I will get a chance in the future."

In the moment that Haruko was stunned, Orochimaru stepped back, put his index finger on his bloodless lips, and made a "hush" gesture to her.

It was as if to say that this was a secret between the two of them, and a feeling that only concerned the two of them.

Haruko couldn't help but tighten her grip on Tsunade's hand on her shoulder.

Orochimaru must have liked or even loved me in the past...

When Haruko came to her senses, she found that she had already asked: "What kind of person was I before?"

Tsunade answered positively, "Haruko is a very gentle person, attentive and considerate. I feel comfortable and happy when I am around you."

"And he's very kind, treating everyone equally." Jiraiya glanced at the two porcelain-faced people opposite him, "He doesn't even show any prejudice against dark and cold reptiles!"

"Jiraiya, if you're in a hurry to die, I can give you a ride." Orochimaru licked his lower lip slowly with his tongue.

Jiraiya snorted, "You can't kill me."

"If you want, I can be kind enough to help you." Beiliuhu added calmly.

Seeing that they were about to argue again, Haruko crossed her arms and gestured to stop, "Stop arguing! I haven't finished listening to you yet!"

Since Haruko had spoken, Beiluhu did not continue to pester her. When he returned to the original topic, his tone was much softer, "Haruko is very warm, and she is my only sunshine."

"Although he sometimes says stupid things, he's not annoying." Orochimaru came to the conclusion after careful thought.

Sometimes his feelings are genuine, sometimes he calls her stupid, does Orochimaru really like her?!

Haruko said that she really couldn't understand Orochimaru.

Tsunade couldn't stand the hidden thoughts of these grown men. She sneered and said to them disgustingly: "Haruko said that she likes to see you living in peace and respect each other the most~"

The three of them were really disgusted by her words and were speechless for a while.

Haruko didn't say anything either. She noticed that when they talked about her past, their eyes were shining with love and expectation.

She must have been an outstanding person in the past, right?

Haruko asked with an unclear emotion: "Is it different from me now?"

Unexpectedly, she would ask this. Tsunade frowned and thought about it carefully. "It seems not. But Haruko was in good health when she was a child. She often took us out to play."

"I know!" Jiraiya said with a little pride. He was the first person to come into contact with the current Haruko. "The current Haruko likes money very much!"

Orochimaru recalled the child's eyes that lit up when he said the entire laboratory could be hers, and agreed, "Indeed, Haruko didn't seem to have this hobby before."

"It's just money. All the rewards I get from scientific research can buy half of Konoha for her." Hiruhu began to seduce Haruko with his family property.

Sure enough, Haruko opened her mouth wide when she heard this, but what she was thinking in her heart was: I really want to compete with these rich people!

Seeing the three men starting a new round of argument - competing with each other for family property, Tsunade had no choice but to quickly move forward holding Haruko.

"But if I were to say the biggest difference..." Tsunade met Haruko's eyes as she looked at her curiously, "It is undoubtedly that we still have you."

Looking into Tsunade's undisguised smile of joy, Haruko looked away in embarrassment as if she had been scalded.

They really, really... missed Haruko Asahi...

"Haruko, are you okay? Are you feeling particularly uncomfortable?" Nohara Lin looked at Haruko, whose face looked slightly pale, and her brows were tightly knitted.

Lying in bed, Qingzi coughed twice before weakly answering: "Don't worry, Lin, it's just a common cold."

"That's all?!" Uchiha Obito raised his voice, "Do you know how worried I am?"

When Uchiha Obito saw her lying there sick and still giving him a flattering smile, he felt angry and distressed.

After learning that Haruko was in poor health, he took good care of her every day, helping her keep warm and resist the cold wind, strictly controlling her diet intake, etc.

I was feeling proud that Haruko had never been sick again because he was by her side, but today I learned that she had collapsed.

What exactly was not protected well... Uchiha Obito gritted his teeth and kept blaming himself in his heart.

"I know, Obito cares about me the most." Haruko stroked his fur skillfully.

He was about to explode, but when he saw Haruko's sickly face, Uchiha Obito fell silent.

Hatake Kakashi placed the candies he bought on the road next to her pillow, "Although you may not be able to eat them, maybe you will feel better just looking at them."

Haruko's eyes suddenly lit up as she didn't expect such a gain. She first glanced at her supervisor Uchiha Obito secretly, and when she saw that he looked away with an expression of letting her go, Haruko smiled gratefully at Hatake Kakashi.

Was it because of her illness? Hatake Kakashi inexplicably felt that Haruko looked very pitiful.

Having an urge to get close to her face, Hatake Kakashi came to his senses, silently raised his hand and placed it on the wrist of his other hand, dispelling his strange thoughts.

Nohara Lin changed the towel on her head and said in a soft voice: "Haruko, you should have a good rest. We won't disturb you. When you are better, we will play together again."

"Take your medicine carefully. Don't refuse it just because it tastes bitter." Uchiha Obito warned him with some concern.

Haruko stared at him and spat out, "Obito is so long-winded."

"You bastard..." Uchiha Obito tried hard to suppress his anger.

It's really so annoying even when you're sick!

Hatake Kakashi stood up, paused for a moment when he noticed Haruko looking at him strangely, and then left the room slowly at the urging of Uchiha Obito.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet again. Haruko lay on the bed, staring at the wooden ceiling with unfocused pupils, silently venting her chaotic emotions.

Is it because of illness? I always feel like crying...
