-Sasuke’s Thoughts- [TRANSLATION]
“Jiji, about Sakura being my wife, please keep it a secret from the others here.”
Sasuke tells Jiji as they walk through the hallway out of the infirmary. His wrist wrapped in bandages from Sakura.
“I understand, if this spread amongst the prisoners, doc will no longer be able to stay here...But I never imagined you’d already be married. This kind of thing you should have told me sooner.”
“You’ve never talked about it either.”
“I’ve brought it up recently for sure.”
Because the roommates see each other everyday, an average conversation topic will last for a week or so. Of course, there was no shortage of talks about lovers or marriage. However as an intruder, Sasuke does not delve deep into these kinds of topics, usually avoiding them.
“Jiji, you have a fiancé right?”
Hearing Sasuke mention this, Jiji smiles happily.
“Yep, she’s working in the Redako capital. Once I finish my service, I‘ll be marrying her.”
Sasuke’s eyes fell to his feet, a field of light green shone brightly by the moon.
Husbands and wives are inseparable.
Sasuke dwell over this line repeatedly. These are words that cannot be immediately understood for a person like him who is away on long-term missions.
“Jiji, should married couples always be together?”
“Doesn’t doc just want to be with you, and hence specifically came to this middle of nowhere job?”
“Thats not really the case...But, it’s true I’m not home for long periods of time.”
“Not home for long periods? Then how often do you go back?”
“It'll be a very long time, I only get the chance to return once a few years.”
Jiji’s voice echoed through the sky.
“A few years, that’s already to the point where you’re leaving your other half to die of natural causes.”
Facing a serious Sasuke, Jiji also returns with an expression of sternness.
“I’m not neglecting her one-sidedly. Sakura has her mission in our village, while I must carry out my own job elsewhere, this cannot be helped. But even so, we still contact each other through letters.”
“Even if this is the case...haven’t you ever thought about there being pests like me bothering her when you’re not around? Your country doesn’t have the ring tradition right?”
Jiji looks at Sasuke with an earnest worried expression and continues.
“Married couples must always be together.”
Sasuke could not fully comprehend these words from Jiji.
Sakura is his family. He believed that no matter what that won’t change. He’s never heard of families falling apart from being thousands of miles away. No matter how much hatred he once held for Itachi, the reality of Itachi being his brother had never changed.
Since long ago, Sasuke had already considered Sakura as family and an irreplaceable partner who will accompany him for life. Even if there is no blood relation, even if they cannot see each other everyday, he knew in his heart there are things that will never change.
However If these thoughts were to be expressed in words to Jiji, not only will it be troublesome but more importantly, inappropriate. So Sasuke responded with “I see” and ends the conversation, quickly proceeding to change the subject.
