Konoha: I have a giant of light inside me

After discussing for a while, they saw Haruno and his wife coming again with Jingyin. Haruno Sakura still needs to undergo some other examinations. If there is no problem, according to her own wishes, she can almost go through the procedures for discharge from the hospital.

The group obediently left Haruno Sakura's room, looked at the closed door, Ino touched Shikamaru's arm lightly, and said, "Did you notice that when Sakura was talking to us just now, the number of smiles on her face was different?" few?"

"Of course I saw it, she laughed so often, I don't even remember when." Shikamaru replied.

The smiles on Haruno Sakura's face just now were not many, but in terms of her own past situation, they were already quite frequent, which surprised everyone.

"You feel the same way, Naruto?" Ino asked.

Naruto was thinking about the hint Haruno Sakura gave him before he left, telling him the time and place agreed at night.Hearing this, he came back to his senses and thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "Mmm, that's indeed the case."

I don't know how long it will take Haruno Sakura to check, the gifts and wishes have been delivered, and everyone plans to go back to do some things first.After Naruto and Xianglin returned to the apartment, Xianglin looked at Naruto who seemed to be worried, moved behind him, patted him on the shoulder, and made him exclaim involuntarily.

"What are you thinking? So ecstatic."

"No, nothing..."

"Sakura probably has something to do with it. When you were in the hospital, you flirted with each other from time to time. Others may not have noticed, but I can see it clearly." Xianglin said.

Unexpectedly, Xianglin noticed the hint in the eyes between the two, Naruto scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "Ah, you have seen it..."

"Although I wear glasses, it doesn't mean my eyesight is bad." Xianglin snorted softly, "So, what is it?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just something to say."

"Only two people?"

"Well, there are only two people."

Xiang Rin stared at Naruto silently for a long time, making Naruto almost doubt whether she even knew what the two of them were going to talk about, obviously it should be impossible.

"Although I don't know what you are going to talk about, Naruto, you have to work hard." Suddenly, Xianglin said something without thinking.

"Huh?" Naruto was taken aback.

"Naruto, you rescued Sakura alone. I think your performance must be cool. Even a girl like Sakura will have a different feeling. And, this time it's just the two of you. A personal meeting is just the time for you to give full play, and maybe you can get what you want. If it wasn't for the fear that Sakura would notice, I would have personally come to the scene to advise you behind the scenes."

"Ah, so that's what you meant." Naruto breathed a sigh of relief.

"What else can you mean?" Xianglin tilted her head and looked at him with some surprise.

"No, no, of course there is no other meaning." Naruto shook his head again and again, thinking that he is also paranoid, how could ordinary people imagine that someone can become a giant over [-] meters long?

Xianglin pursed her lips slightly, bowed her head in silence for a while, then looked straight into Naruto's blue eyes, and said again: "Come on. If Naruto thinks that is your happiness, then I will support you no matter what."

Naruto's expression became more serious. When he learned that Xiang Rin liked him, he was at a loss for a while. When the incident just ended, the relationship between the two was a little awkward.

However, they soon took a serious look at their relationship—Naruto really regarded Xianglin as his relative, and it was certain that he had no other relationship between men and women; People's "love" may indeed be just an emotion of dependence, as Mianma said, and Naruto must also be her most important person.

Xianglin didn't have the idea of ​​keeping him by her side, Naruto had his own happiness, and he didn't need to intervene.After some conversations, she also understood this point. Even if it didn't become that kind of relationship, there was still an unbreakable affection between her and Naruto.

After understanding this, Xianglin felt that her mood seemed to be much happier. Some of the previous worries and fears were gradually disappearing, and she could calmly cheer for Naruto's emotional career.

"By the way, where is the place you agreed on? Is it a place with people? Or a place without people?"

"Ah, this is..."

"It's fine if you don't say it, if you know, maybe you will really go secretly." Xianglin smiled.

"Feel sorry."

"There's nothing to apologize for, this is your personal time, you can say whatever you want, and I won't bother you." Xianglin smiled, turned around and came to her room, shook her hand at Naruto, and then Open the door and go in.

Naruto originally only wanted to know about the giant from Haruno Sakura, but after what Xiang Rin said, he himself was a little worried about gains and losses.He turned back to his home, folded his hands in front of him, sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking hard about what to say when the time came.

Time passed slowly, and when Naruto noticed, it was not long before the appointed time, and it was already dark outside.He hurriedly got up from the bed, opened the closet and chose carefully for a while, then took out the one he was most satisfied with, and took good care of his appearance.

Looking at himself in the mirror who seemed to be more energetic than usual, Naruto told himself "Come on" to himself, and then headed towards the place they agreed on.

The place the two agreed on was on a hillside near the village. The view here is very good, whether looking down or looking up, you can see a good scenery.Especially when looking towards the sky, the full moon is just right at this time, and the cold moonlight is flickering slightly, giving people a beautiful feeling.

When Naruto came here for the first time, he felt that it would be great if he had chosen this place to confess his love to Haruno Sakura last time. Although it seems a little more secret in the woods, the atmosphere is much worse.However, that confession was not a good time in the first place, and with that bad guy Mizuki around, it couldn't be done no matter what.

At a glance, Naruto saw Haruno Sakura sitting on the grass with his legs folded, staring up at the sky in ecstasy.At this moment, Haruno Sakura did not wear the ninja professional attire in the past, but changed into a dress, showing the temperament like a lotus in water.

After becoming a member of the special search team, Haruno Sakura seldom wears casual clothes, and every time she appears in casual clothes, it gives people a very amazing feeling.But no time in the past, Naruto was as beautiful as he saw now, and he couldn't explain why, he just felt that the current Haruno Sakura had something that he didn't have before.

"Naruto?" Haruno Sakura seemed to sense Naruto's aura, turned her head to look at him, her blue eyes shone slightly, like delicate gems.

Naruto walked towards her slowly, and said shyly, "Sorry, I kept you waiting."

"It's not long since I arrived." Haruno Sakura smiled slightly, and watched Naruto sit down beside her, feeling that he was looking at her with some warmth, her body shrank involuntarily, and said, "Why? What's the matter?" Strange?"

"No, no." Naruto waved his hands again and again, he thought for a while, and then said: "I just feel that there seems to be something different about Sakura now."

"Maybe it's a little different mentality."

"Mentality?"

Haruno Sakura looked ahead quietly and said, "Naruto, do you know that I have actually died once before."

"Ah?" Naruto didn't expect her to say such words, he was taken aback and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing his expression of being too shocked to say anything, Haruno Sakura chuckled, and then told him that she should have died when she was a child, but saved her life because of her fusion with Hikari.Since then, she has had the mission of eradicating alien life. When she was a child, she was not strong enough, so she only intervened indirectly. After her body grew, the giant really appeared in front of everyone.

When Haruno Sakura first started, she didn't actually have any idea of ​​protecting the world. At that time, she didn't even have a precise understanding of what the world was like.She just wanted to protect the people around her. Later, after she gradually realized the vastness of the world, her strength grew. With the powerful power of giants, there was basically nothing she couldn't do.

This may be the reason why she has a vague understanding of her own identity - the sense of mission to protect the world and the strength brought by the power of giants - let her slowly see other people from a high perspective.

"After seeing Hikari's power, many people will want to rely on it. I told them that giants will only appear after doing their best, just to let them understand the importance of their own power. But , I myself, who wanted to tell them this, was also relying on Hikari's power."

The experience of almost falling this time made Haruno Sakura re-examine her mentality, what should she think as an individual outside of the mission brought by the giant. ——After returning to her original point, the first thing she felt was not the satisfaction of great power, nor the lofty mission of protecting the world, but the joy of life.

"Maybe there will be times when Hikari's power will be needed. But before that, I will do my best to protect what I care about with my trusted companions. The world is right Personally, it is too far away for me, and what I care most about is the people I 'love' around me." Haruno Sakura said seriously.

"That's it." Naruto silently listened to Haruno Sakura's past, and he lowered his head slightly, "Sakura, you really worked so hard. You should trust me and your companion a little bit more."

"Yes, this is my fault, I'm really sorry, Naruto." Haruno Sakura turned to look at him, and said embarrassedly.

Naruto shook his head and said: "It's nothing, I'm also very happy, because you, Sakura, told me your true heart. I understand now, what's different about you, Sakura - compared with you in the past, Now you have to be like a human being, with a vivid sense of existence."

Haruno Sakura couldn't help laughing, and said, "That's really a good evaluation, thank you, Naruto."

"Same as you, Sakura, I also felt something different in this incident." Naruto slowly recalled his mental journey these days, "That guy used illusion to present the darkness in my heart, Seeing another version of myself called 'Mian Ma'. He really pointed out the darkness in me that didn't go away, and honestly, it was really painful to say. If it wasn't for Mom and Dad he..."

"Wait, Dad?" Haruno Sakura heard the word and looked at him with slightly wide eyes.

Naruto was stunned for a moment, and said, "Ah, I haven't told you yet. At that time, there was a voice telling me how to face that dark self. I didn't know who it was, but then I came to the spiritual world It was only after I asked my mother that the owner of that voice was my father."

"So you know who your father is?"

"Yeah." Having said that, Naruto's voice raised slightly, "Sakura, you may not know that my father is actually the Fourth Hokage."

"Is it the Fourth Hokage?" Haruno Sakura knew it for a long time, but she pretended to hear it for the first time, showing a surprised expression on her face just right.

"I was surprised myself, I didn't expect that it was my father who sealed the Nine-Tails into my body." Naruto smiled wryly.

"What do you think of your father? Do you hate it?" Haruno Sakura asked cautiously.

Naruto thought for a while and replied: "I can't say I hate it. Although I blame him for letting me become Jinchuriki, this may be the inevitable decision he made as Hokage. Besides, in In the conversation with him, I can feel his guilt and love, and when I think about the fact that he will never be reincarnated, I don't have the idea of ​​blaming him."

As Hokage, Namikaze Minato has an obligation to protect the village, and as a father, Namikaze Minato has an obligation to protect his family, but when there is a balance between the two, no matter which one is sacrificed, it will be very painful, but After all, he had to make a decision.

Because of the example of his father, Naruto has a new understanding of Hokage. He smiled slightly and said: "Maybe I really don't have too high demands. After feeling his love for me, I don't What other luxuries."

"Did you forgive your father just like that?" Haruno Sakura asked.

"Forgive him, I can understand his choice, I am also a child of Hokage." Naruto smiled, "However, it is still somewhat unpleasant, so I will give him a hard blow, so even It's clear."

"...Where is the blow coming?" Because Naruto's description was a bit vague, Haruno Sakura couldn't help but think about how Naruto should beat her father.

"It's the abdomen, let's use the helix pill he created—ah, don't worry, it's just for show, the damage is probably similar to that of a fist." Naruto said with a smile.

"After he was beaten by me, he still had a happy expression. Seeing him like that made me hate him even more."

"Oh——" Haruno Sakura thought about it, and felt a little amused.

Looking at Haruno Sakura's expression, Naruto felt that it was very ordinary, so he couldn't help laughing. After laughing for a while, he turned to what he was going to say.

"After I realized the resentment that hadn't disappeared in my heart, I realized that I wanted other people to agree with me. In fact, I don't need them to agree with me, I just need people who care to agree with me."

Naruto suddenly sprang up from the ground, pointed to the bright moon in the sky, and asked, "Sakura, you seem to have said before that the moon itself does not emit light, its light comes from the sun, right?"

"Yeah." Haruno Sakura nodded.

Naruto continued to point to the moon and said: "If Hokage were the sun, I might not be able to illuminate everything in the world like it does, and love the whole village like my father. Now I am still far behind. But, just To illuminate the people around me, all I need is the light of the moon, I learned from my father who is Hokage, and that’s all for now.”

For Naruto, now he wants to protect the rest of the village, not because he likes them so much, but because the people he cares about also live in this village, and the people he cares about also have other people who love them.

"I will use all my strength to protect everyone and the one I love." Naruto turned around, stared closely at Haruno Sakura's green eyes, and said seriously: "So, Sakura, you You can trust me well, you don’t need to bear it alone, I will definitely protect you.”

Looking at Naruto with his back to the moon, Haruno Sakura felt a little hot on his face for some reason, lowered his head slightly, and nodded with an "um".
