Day 3: A glance that reveals everything
第三天：一瞥揭示一切
Sasuke checked the list again, making inventory of all of Hinata’s answers. The end result was… disappointing, to say the least. They had almost nothing in common, from food (why sweets of all things?) to hobbies (gardening was kind of fine, his mother liked it, but he honestly found it a bit boring) and even ideologies (how the hell did you become a kind and strong shinobi? The two things were so opposite, it was simply impossible). Sure, there were some things they agreed on, like the fact they both preferred the quiet and taking long walks to allow themselves time to think, but other than that…
佐助再次檢查清單，盤點了日向所有的答案。最終結果是…… 至少可以說是令人失望的。 他們幾乎沒有任何共同之處，從食物（為什麼是甜食？）到愛好（園藝還算可以，他母親喜歡，但他覺得有點無聊）甚至意識形態（你怎麼成為一名善良而強大的忍者？這兩者是如此相反，根本不可能）。 當然，有一些他們在意見上一致的事情，比如他們都喜歡安靜，喜歡散步以便有時間思考，但除此之外…
Disappointing. What was he supposed to do now?
令人失望。他現在該怎麼辦呢？
“Itachi!” “鼬！”
The older man closed his eyes, before slowly opening them. He turned towards his little brother with a soft, if a bit strained, smile. “What is it, Sasuke?”
老人閉上眼睛，然後慢慢睜開。他轉向他的小弟弟，露出一個柔和但有點勉強的微笑。“什麼事，佐助？”
“What do you do when you have nothing in common with your girlfriend?”
當你和女朋友沒有共同點時，你會怎麼做？
Itachi frowned, pushing aside his assortment of kunais that he was sharpening to give Sasuke his whole attention. He patted the place next to him on the engawa, and when the boy sat down, he asked; “nothing in common?”
鼬皺眉，將他正在磨利的各種苦無推開，全神貫注地看著佐助。他拍了拍自己身旁的地方，當那男孩坐下時，他問道：“沒有共同之處嗎？”
“Nothing at all” Sasuke confirmed with a nod. Itachi hummed, a hand on his chin.
"什麼都沒有，"佐助點頭確認。伊太希發出嗡嗡聲，手指輕撫下巴。
“In that case, maybe it’s better to just break up.”
在這種情況下，也許最好還是分手吧。
“…what if you don’t want to break up?”
「如果你不想分手呢？」
“Why would you want to be with someone you have nothing in common with?”
為什麼你想和一個與你毫無共同之處的人在一起呢？
Sasuke didn’t say anything. He looked away, wondering himself. He still couldn’t understand why he insisted on being with Hinata when he should be looking for chances to break up with her. It made no sense. He knew he should stop this now before it was too late, but every time he tried to, his mind suddenly rebelled itself and… and he just… didn’t.
佐助沒有說話。他轉過頭去，自問著。他仍然不明白為什麼堅持和日向在一起，明明應該尋找機會和她分手。這毫無道理。他知道應該現在就停止這一切，免得為時已晚，但每次他試圖這樣做時，他的思緒突然就叛逆起來，然後...然後他就...沒有。
Because it was nice being seen. Really, really nice actually.
因為被看見是一件美好的事情。實際上，非常非常美好。
Seeing the conflict on his little brother’s face, Itachi sighed. “What about searching for something together?” Sasuke perked up at this, looking at him questioningly. “If you don’t have anything in common, try looking for something new that the two can enjoy” he explained.
看到小弟弟臉上的矛盾，鼬歎了口氣。「一起找尋些什麼怎麼樣？」佐助聽到這句話，神情一振，疑惑地看著他。「如果你們沒有共同點，試著找尋一樣新的事物，讓兩人都能享受」他解釋道。
“Something new…” the boy whispered thoughtfully. “Did you ever do something like that with Izumi-san, nii-san?”
「有什麼新的事情…」男孩沉思地低聲說道。「你和泉先生有沒有做過類似的事情，哥哥？」
“Izumi and I are not dating” he said without missing a heartbeat.
"伊澄和我並沒有在交往，" 他毫不猶豫地說道。
Sasuke rolled his eyes. “But have you?”
佐助翻了翻白眼。“你有嗎？”
“…she once suggested we could try new cafés together. We do that from time to time” he relented at the end, feeling slightly frustrated. Why did everyone insist that there was something going on between Izumi and him? Even his little brother thought the same…
「……她曾建議我們可以一起嘗試新的咖啡館。我們偶爾會這樣做」他最後讓步，感到有些沮喪。為什麼每個人都堅持認為出現在伊澄和他之間有什麼事？連他的弟弟也是這麼想的…
“I see! Thanks, nii-san!” Sasuke stood up and left, running inside the house and immediately being reprimanded by their mother. Itachi shook his head, going back to his kunais and wishing his little brother good luck in his mind.
「原來如此！謝謝，兄長！」佐助站起身離開，跑進屋子裡，立刻被他們的母親責罵。鼬搖搖頭，回到他的苦無，心裡祝福著他的小弟好運。
There was taijutsu training that day. As Iruka organized the pairings, Sasuke approached Hinata, who was standing on her own while playing with her fingers.
那天進行了體術訓練。當伊魯卡安排配對時，佐助走向獨自站在一旁玩弄手指的日向。
“We should do something together” he stated without even greeting her first.
“我們應該一起做些事情。”他說，甚至沒有先打招呼。
Hinata was a bit surprised at his sudden appearance, but hid it well. She tilted her head, curious. “Like… what, Sasuke-kun?”
日向對他突然出現感到有點驚訝，但她掩飾得很好。她歪著頭，好奇地問道：“像…什麼，佐助君？”
“Do you like training? We could spar after class” he offered. It would be a beneficial activity both for their personal advancement as ninjas, as well as a way to spend time together as a couple.
"你喜歡訓練嗎？下課後我們可以切磋一下。”他提議道。這對他們作為忍者個人成長來說會是一項有益的活動，同時也是作為一對情侶共度時光的方式。
The girl hummed, biting her lip and glancing away. “I mean, we can do that if you want to. After class, you mean?”
女孩哼著歌，咬著嘴唇，偏頭看向一旁。「我的意思是，如果你想的話，我們可以這樣做。下課後，你是指？」
“Yes” he nodded, feeling proud of himself. He had suggested an activity and Hinata had accepted. He was doing great at this boyfriend thing.
“是的”，他點點頭，對自己感到驕傲。他提出了一個活動，日向接受了。他在做男朋友這件事情上做得很好。
In that moment, Iruka finally called everyone to attention.
在那一刻，伊魯卡終於召集大家注意力。
The pairs passed one by one, with Sasuke staring at them paying them little mind. Compared to the spars between his nii-san and Shisui-san, none of his classmates looked the least bit interesting. Just a bunch of children flapping around like fishes out of water. Kind of pathetic, if you asked him. His attention was caught, however, when Iruka called Hinata against a classmate he couldn’t honestly remember the name of. Rika, was it? He believed she might have sent him around ten or so love letters in the past. He knew this because she always demanded an answer afterwards as if his feelings would have changed since her last try.
一對一對地走過，佐助盯著他們，卻毫不在意。與他哥哥和鍬次之間的切磋相比，他的同學們看起來一點也不有趣。只是一群像是不擅長在水中游動的魚一樣的孩子們。如果問他，這有點可悲。然而，當伊魯卡叫出雛田和一位他實在記不清名字的同學對決時，他的注意力被吸引了。莉卡，是這個名字嗎？他相信她過去可能寄給他大約十封情書。他知道這是因為她總是在之後要求回覆，彷彿他的感受會在她上一次嘗試後改變一樣。
He watched, curious as to how Hinata would fare, and was pleasantly surprised when the spar quickly turned in her favor. She was a lot better at taijutsu than he thought she would be, though that made sense, considering her family’s techniques and specialties. She made quick work of Rika and ended the fight in record time.
他好奇地觀察著日向的表現，當他看到這場切磋很快就轉向她時，他感到愉快地驚訝。她在體術方面比他想像中的要好得多，這是合理的，考慮到她家族的技巧和專長。她迅速擊敗了梨香，並在短時間內結束了戰鬥。
“Hinata wins! Good job, the two of you” Iruka congratulated them. Hinata reached her hand down to Rika and helped her up, and the rest continued as usual.
日向贏了！伊魯卡祝賀他們說：“幹得好，你們兩個。”日向伸出手幫助莉卡站起來，其他事情繼續如常。
Sasuke was still reeling from the fight.
佐助仍然在為這場戰鬥感到震撼。
That was exciting. And Hinata had not even been using her Byakugan. Would she use it during their spar? He had never fought against someone with it. He definitely would tell her to use it.
那真是令人興奮的一場比賽。而且日向田甚至還沒有使用她的白眼。她會在他們的切磋中使用嗎？他從未與擁有白眼的人交手過。他肯定會告訴她要使用白眼。
After a little while, his name was finally called. He was pitted against Naruto. The two looked at each other with grins on their faces.
過了一會兒，終於輪到他的名字被喊出來。他將與火影忍者對戰。兩人面帶笑容地互相對視。
“I am so ready to kick your ass, bastard” Naruto gloated, cracking his knuckles. Sasuke scoffed, sending him a condescending smirk of his own.
“我準備好揍你了，混蛋。”鳴人得意地說著，撳了撳指關節。佐助冷笑一聲，也露出了一絲嘲諷的笑容。
“We’ll see about that, dumbass.”
"我們拭目以待，笨蛋。"
They began as soon as Iruka gave the signal. Sasuke had to admit that Naruto was much better than before, but soon he noticed that he was still superior when he started backing the other boy into only defending. The screams of their female classmates resonated throughout, a cacophony he had grown used to with the years, but that he always found annoying no matter what.
當伊魯卡發出信號時，他們立即開始。佐助不得不承認，鳴人比以前強多了，但很快他注意到，當他開始迫使對方只能防守時，他仍然更為優秀。他們女同學的尖叫聲回蕩在四周，這是他多年來習以為常的喧囂聲，但無論如何，他總是覺得很煩人。
He wondered if Hinata had been a part of the noise as well, and he just never noticed because he didn’t bother looking at his fangirls. Without really thinking about it, his eyes travelled to the gaggle of classmates standing on the side, and he found her immediately, but she wasn’t looking at him.
他想知道雛田是否也是噪音的一部分，只是他從來沒有注意到，因為他從不去看他的死忠女粉絲。沒有真正思考，他的眼睛移向站在一旁的一群同學，他立刻找到了她，但她沒有看著他。
She was looking at Naruto. With soft, glowing eyes.
她正在看著火影忍者。眼中充滿柔和的光芒。
What the he-? 什麼鬼-？
“Na-mi-ka-ze KICK!” Sasuke gasped as a foot exploded against his face. He fell hard against the ground, his head bouncing off it and the world losing its form for a short moment, before everything rushed back to him in one painful, long second. He winced, voices all around him drowning him and making his head hurt even worse. And among all of them, one stood out to him the most.
“那-未-風-踢！”佐助喘息著，一只腳猛烈地炸在他的臉上。他重重摔在地上，頭部撞擊地面，世界在短暫的一瞬間失去了形狀，然後一切在一個痛苦而漫長的秒鐘內湧回他的腦海。他皺著眉頭，四周嘈雜的聲音淹沒了他，讓他的頭更痛。在所有聲音中，有一個對他來說最為突出。
“Is he alright?” the soft, sweet voice of his girlfriend asked. He blinked, hard, before his eyes searched for her. She was standing at the edge of the small circle of people –mostly girls– that had formed around him, hands clenched in front of her chest and a small frown of worry between her brows.
「他沒事吧？」他的女友溫柔甜美的聲音問道。他眨了眨眼，努力尋找她的身影。她站在圍繞著他的一小群人中間，大多數是女孩，雙手緊握在胸前，眉頭間帶著一絲擔憂的小皺紋。
“Hinata…” he called pitifully. His voice was low, but somehow, everyone managed to hear it, and before long, the noise and commotion calmed down, until there was only silence.
“日向……”他可憐地呼喊。他的聲音低沉，但不知何故，每個人都聽到了，不久之後，嘈雜聲和騷動平靜下來，直到只剩下寂靜。
And everyone was looking at Hinata with astonishment.
所有人都驚訝地看著日向。
“Y-Yes, Sasuke-kun?” she asked, but she was still far away. He groaned as he sat up, a hand immediately going to his temple.
“對、對不起、佐助君？”她問道，但她仍然遠遠的。他坐起來時發出呻吟聲，一隻手立刻放在太陽穴上。
“You idiot” this time he looked at Naruto, who was just standing there with his arms crossed, a complicated expression on his face that soon turned to mirth as he heard his friend returning to normal.
“你這個白癡。”這次他看向站在那裡雙臂交叉的火影忍者，臉上帶著複雜表情，很快又轉為歡樂，因為他聽到朋友恢復正常了。
“It’s your fault for not paying attention~” he sang, pulling his arms up behind his head, grinning from ear to ear. Sasuke was about to retort when Iruka stepped forward, kneeling next to him and placing a hand on his shoulder.
“沒注意是你的錯~”他唱著，將雙臂抬起放在頭後，笑得合不攏嘴。佐助正要反駁時，伊魯卡走上前，跪在他旁邊，輕輕放了一隻手在他肩膀上。
“Are you alright, Sasuke? How is your head?”
"佐助，你沒事吧？你的頭怎麼樣了？"
“…I’m fine” he stood up, shrugging off his teacher’s hand as well as the dizziness that accompanied the movement.
「我沒事。」他站起來，擺脫了老師的手，也擺脫了伴隨著動作而來的頭暈感。
“Are you sure? You should go to the infirmary if you don’t feel well.”
"你確定嗎？如果你感覺不舒服，應該去保健室。"
“I said I’m fine” he insisted. Seeing that he was mostly alright, and that he refused to go anywhere, Iruka nodded and told the others to go back to their places, before resuming the training.
他堅持說：“我說我沒事。”看到他大部分都沒問題，而且他拒絕離開，伊魯卡點點頭，告訴其他人回到原位，然後繼續訓練。
Sasuke stood right next to Hinata, who was glancing to the side, as if she couldn’t stand looking at him.
佐助站在日向旁邊，她側頭看著，似乎無法忍受看著他。
“Hey” he said. She trembled, barely humming in acknowledgment, and that made Sasuke angry. “You were looking at the idiot back then” he accused.
「嘿」他說。她顫抖著，幾乎只是輕輕地嗡嗡作響，這讓佐助生氣了。「當時你一直在看那個白癡」他指責道。
“I… I was watching the two of you” she answered as smoothly as she could. Sasuke snorted.
"我...我一直在看著你們兩個。" 她盡可能地平靜地回答。佐助哼了一聲。
“Oh, really?” "哦，真的嗎？"
“…yes, really.” 「是的，真的。」
The audacity. She was looking at Naruto, and quite fondly too.
大膽。她正看著鳴人，而且還相當喜歡。
“Hey guys, whatcha doing?” said boy arrived in time to interrupt Sasuke, who was about to throw an acidic comment towards his girlfriend, making her gasp and stumble back into him due to surprise because of the idiot’s sudden appearance.
「嘿，你們在幹嘛？」一名男孩及時趕到，打斷了即將對著女朋友發出尖酸評論的佐助，讓她驚訝地倒退撞到他身上，因為這個白癡突然出現。
“None of your business” Sasuke snarled, pushing Hinata by the shoulder away from him.
“不關你的事。”佐助咆哮著，用肩膀將日向推開。
Naruto clicked his tongue. “Are you upset about my awesome Namikaze kick? Dude, if you didn’t want to be defeated, then you should have been paying atten-”
鳴人咂了咂嘴。「你是在生氣我那厲害的波風踢嗎？老兄，如果你不想被打敗，那你就應該專心點-」
“Shut up” he cut him off, causing Naruto to look incredibly offended. He was, however, distracted from continuing the fight when his eyes landed on Hinata.
“閉嘴。”他打斷他，使火影忍者看起來非常受冒犯。然而，當他的眼睛落在日向時，他分散了繼續戰鬥的注意力。
“Hey, what’s wrong with your face? Why are you so red?”
"嘿，你的臉怎麼了？為什麼這麼紅啊？"
“I-I-I…!” the poor girl stuttered, and only then Sasuke looked at her, surprised to find her with that ugly shade of red staining her face.
「我-我-我...!」可憐的女孩結結巴巴地說道，只有在這時，佐助才看向她，驚訝地發現她臉上染上了那醜陋的紅色。
What is wrong with her? Why is she…? His eyes widened when he realized it. Of course, she stumbled onto me just now. Tch, with so little contact she already becomes like this? How utterly pathetic.
她怎麼了？為什麼她…？當他意識到時，他的眼睛睜大了。當然，她剛才碰到我了。嘖，這麼少的接觸，她已經變成這樣了？多麼可悲。
And yet, his face was also becoming redder. Much to his annoyance, Naruto noticed this. “Pfff, what’s wrong with you? Finally caught up with the fact I defeated you, huh?” he laughed loudly.
然而，他的臉也變得更紅了。令他惱怒的是，鳴人注意到了這一點。“噗，你怎麼了？終於發現我打敗了你，是吧？”他大聲笑道。
Sasuke gritted his teeth. “If you have the time to laugh, then go do something productive, loser.”
佐助咬緊牙關。“如果你有時間笑，那就去做點有意義的事情，失敗者。”
“Look who doesn’t have a sense of humor” his friend rolled his eyes, but decided to leave the two alone, thankfully. Once gone, Sasuke dragged a hand down his face, staring at Hinata from the corner of his eye. She was still red, gaze anywhere but on him, and he couldn’t help but feel a small bit of pride at knowing it was because of him. Well, she’s my girlfriend, so it’s only natural.
「看看誰沒有幽默感。」他的朋友翻了翻白眼，但還是決定離開讓這兩人單獨相處，幸好。朋友一走，佐助用手揉了揉臉，斜眼看著日向。她臉還是紅的，視線卻避開他，他不禁感到一絲驕傲，知道這都是因為他。嗯，她是我的女朋友，這樣的反應很自然。
That’s right. She was his girlfriend. She had given him a love letter. Why was he so on edge because of a stupid look she had directed at the idiot? It was so obvious she was into him, otherwise she wouldn’t blush like that.
沒錯。她是他的女朋友。她給了他一封情書。為什麼他因為她對那個白癡投來的一個愚蠢的眼神而如此緊張？很明顯她對他有意思，否則她不會臉紅成那樣。
However, he also realized a small problem he had not thought of until then.
然而，他也意識到了一個直到那時他都沒有想到的小問題。
Did anyone know she was his girlfriend?
有人知道她是他的女朋友嗎？
Obviously not, they started dating just a few days ago. That was something he had to fix. Everyone should know, especially Naruto. Not because that glance Hinata had given the idiot meant anything, but because… because it was only natural, of course.
顯然不是，他們才幾天前開始約會。這是他必須處理的事情。每個人都應該知道，尤其是鳴人。不是因為日向給那傻瓜的一瞥有什麼意義，而是因為...當然，這是理所當然的。
When they returned to class, he went directly to the seat next to him and grabbed Naruto’s things, ignoring the kid’s protests when he walked towards where Hinata was sitting next to Sakura and dropped them in her place. She gasped, surprised at this, and looked at him with confusion.
當他們回到教室時，他直接走到旁邊的座位，拿起了火影的東西，無視那孩子走向日向坐在櫻花旁邊的地方時的抗議聲，將它們放在她的位置上。她驚訝地倒抽了一口氣，困惑地看著他。
“Sasuke-kun, what are you…?” Sakura started asking, but he didn’t pay attention to her, looking only at Hinata.
"佐助君，你在做什麼...?" 櫻開始問，但他沒有理會她，只看著日向。
“From now on, you will sit next to me” he announced, loud enough for everyone in class to hear. Gasps and murmurs where heard soon after. Hinata’s face, instead of the fluorescent red that had befallen it just a while back in the courtyard, was a sickly pale. Sasuke raised an eyebrow at that, but said nothing, simply taking her stuff and moving back to his seat.
「從現在開始，你將坐在我旁邊。」他宣佈，聲音足夠大讓全班人都聽到。隨即傳來一陣驚嘆聲和低語聲。雛田的臉，不再是剛才在庭院中變得像螢光紅燈的臉色，而是一副病態的蒼白。佐助對此皺了皺眉，但沒有說什麼，只是拿起她的東西，回到自己的座位。
He heard her stumbling after him. “S-Sasuke-kun! Why are you…? Don’t-!”
他聽到她在他後面絆倒。“佐助君！你為什麼...？不要-！”
“You are my girlfriend Hinata” he put down her stuff where Naruto used to sit, and turned to her, face determined and serious. “I want my girlfriend close to me. Don’t you want your boyfriend close too?”
“你是我的女朋友日向。”他把她的东西放在纳鲁托曾经坐过的地方，然后转向她，脸上坚定而认真。“我想要我的女朋友靠近我。你不也想要你的男朋友靠近吗？”
The bomb had dropped, just like he wanted.
炸彈已經投下了，就像他想要的那樣。
“Did he say girlfriend?” "他說女朋友嗎？"
“Sasuke-kun is dating that weirdo?!”
"佐助君在跟那個怪人約會嗎？！"
“I don’t believe this! How did this happen?”
"我不相信這個！這是怎麼回事？"
“Bastard” Naruto spoke, eyes wide. “You and Hinata…?”
“混蛋！”鳴人說著，眼睛睜大。“你和日向…？”
“Yes” he confirmed, nodding for emphasis. “The day before yesterday Hinata gave me a love letter, and I accepted. So just you all know.”
“是的，”他肯定地點頭強調說。“前天日向給了我一封情書，我接受了。所以你們都知道了。”
With this, the whole class exploded, with everyone talking over the other. The girls were the most vocal, complaining loudly and throwing Hinata poisonous looks. Right at the back, Ino and Sakura were stunned, staring at their friend with confusion and a hint of betrayal. And Hinata?
整個班級都爆發了，每個人都互相談論。女生們最為激動，大聲抱怨並對日向投以毒毒的眼神。在後排，猪鹿蝶驚訝地盯著她們的朋友，帶著困惑和一絲背叛的暗示。而日向呢？
Hinata fainted on the spot.
日向當場昏倒。
