[Naruto] Sakura boy

Chapter 72

Hatake, the sick and weak system, the supreme VIP member of Konoha Hospital. Kakashi relived the good times in the hospital bed as soon as he returned to the village. Tsunade said that there was nothing wrong with Kakashi, but that some chakra was overused and he would fall asleep after lying down for a few days. alright.

However, since Kakashi was lying down, the mission still had to continue, so they simply recruited new people to fill Sasuke's vacancy, and because of Kakashi's temporary rest, they would also have a new leader Jonin.

It is said that the new leader Jonin is an easy person to get along with.This news came from their former leader Jonin, to which Sakura said, "Any Konoha Jonin is more responsible than you, right, Kakashi-senpai?"

What was even more surprising about this mission than leading the Jonin team was that news about Uchiha Sasuke was discovered in a base in Orochimaru, and this mission was to bring him back.They also have to accept new people joining them.

Sakura had reservations about the new teammate, but judging from Tsunade's ugly expression when she announced the news, he had already guessed whose creation this one was.Thinking of her past, the corners of Sakura's mouth drooped and she twitched slightly. The first moment Naruto raised objections, she grabbed Naruto's collar and covered Naruto's mouth with her other hand.

Tsunade cast a grateful look at Sakura, who smiled back and forcefully pulled Naruto by the collar out of the office building, not letting him go until he was some distance away.

"Sakura-chan, what are you doing?!" Naruto's pupils as blue as the sky were ignited with anger, "How could Granny Tsunade just find someone to replace Sasuke?!"

"Isn't this a matter of course?" Sakura looked at Naruto as if he were an ignorant child, his voice was so calm that it was almost cold, "You should know better than anyone else, Sasuke has defected. , although it is not confirmed that he is a traitor, but he will definitely not come back." At least not now.Sakura blinked her sour eyes and exhaled slowly.

"That's why we should bring Sasuke back... isn't it?" Shocked by Sakura's attitude, Naruto forgot his original anger and stared at Sakura blankly, "I thought, I thought Sakura and I were the same... ...Sasuke is a companion, isn't he?" After saying this, his voice even trembled a little.

"It's a former companion." Sakura smiled as always, but what she said was what Naruto least wanted to hear.That smile could no longer bring a warm feeling to Naruto. He only felt the coldness spreading from his heart to his whole body.

If, if even Sakura-chan doesn't insist anymore...

Sakura looked at Naruto's incredulous look and knew that he had thought of something strange. She pressed her brows with a headache, "Let me tell you, what on earth did you think of? Putting on such an expression?"

"……Eh?"

"I never said that I would give up Sasuke." Sakura put her index and middle fingers together and slapped Naruto's forehead hard, and a red mark instantly appeared.

"It hurts!" Naruto frowned aggrievedly and rubbed his forehead. His eyes were red. He didn't know whether he was angry or hurt. He looked quite pitiful.

"I just want you to recognize the reality." Sakura shook her head, "Since Sasuke left on his own initiative back then, it is impossible for him to come back now just based on your few words and friendship from back then. Since Sasuke cannot come back on his own initiative, Then someone will definitely need to fill the vacancy in Class Seven, the only difference is whose person it is."

Naruto blinked, and it was obvious that he didn't understand what Sakura was saying.

"Forget it." Sakura wiped her face, "You just need to know that Sasuke will not come back so easily. If violence is necessary, the new guy doesn't need to care. Just treat him as a temporary partner."

"Oh!" Naruto swept away his previous loneliness and became lively again, "Sakura-chan, you really scared me just now..."

"Well, it's my fault." Sakura admitted her mistake readily, "But we are already late for a while, are you sure you want to continue the discussion?"

"Eh?!" Naruto was stunned, grabbed Sakura's hand and ran towards the meeting point.

But when they arrived at the meeting place, Sakura met a completely unexpected person. He originally thought he would never see him again, which exposed the hidden past to the sun again.

The boy's provocation and Naruto's rebuttal rang in her ears. They were so clear but seemed so far away to Sakura.

"What do you think? Yun?" The black-haired boy maintained a defensive posture, but his eyes were looking at Sakura, his smile was fake and empty, "Weak betrayer."

"What did you say?!" Naruto's anger level continued to rise, and his eyes were turning red. "Who allowed you-"

"That's enough, please stop." Sakura put one hand on Naruto's kunai hand and pressed it hard, with a rare expressionless expression on her face, "Maybe I should say it's been a while, Sai."

Sai tilted his head and smiled, his eyes curved, and he naturally inserted the knife in his hand into the scabbard on his back, "The book says that if friends who haven't seen each other for a long time meet again, they should use the words 'Long time no see'." It’s close, but if it’s not a friend, what’s the best thing to say in this situation?”

Sakura didn't answer, her green eyes looked at Sai quietly. In the end, Sai, who was still smiling, couldn't hold it in anymore. She held her forehead with one hand to block her eyes, "Why... you haven't changed at all..." With such bright green eyes, After all these years, he is still spotless, and being looked at like this makes his heart feel warm.

"Ahem!" The new leader, who had been ignored by them for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore and coughed hard. Seeing the three people's eyes focused on him, he straightened his face and spoke, "I am your leader. Jounin, you can call me Yamato."

Sai kept a fake smile. Naruto peeked at Sakura from time to time, but Sakura lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking. Yamato was not angry when no one paid attention to him, and continued in a stiff tone, "Now you all We know each other, let’s meet at the entrance of the village tomorrow.”

The meeting with the new Class [-] could be said to have ended on bad terms. Sakura looked at Sai's leaving figure several times and wanted to open her mouth to keep him, but she was never able to open her mouth.

What can you say if you stay?Sakura's departure was a betrayal, and he couldn't stay at the root forever.

I'm sorry, but I don't regret my decision.

"Sakura-chan?" Naruto came up worriedly. Even a big-hearted person like him noticed Sakura's absence. "You and that guy..." He carefully searched for words.

"It's nothing, it's just something that happened a long, long time ago." The corners of Sakura's lips raised, and her smile looked a little perfunctory this time, "That was really a long time ago..." It was so long that he almost forgot about the promise he made.
