[Hokage] Love Letter

Sasuke saw that her face was ugly, so he asked Sarana and Boruto to go to the yard to do their homework, poured a cup of tea for Sakura himself, Sakura took it, drank it, and then shook his head, "I'm being followed. "

Sasuke wasn't surprised, "Looks like we were very successful in our play last time, and those big names from various countries mistakenly thought that my wife was the trigger of my disharmony with Hokage."

Sakura nodded, "You and Naruto are tacitly aware of each other. You deliberately appear to be incompatible with each other on the surface, and even have conflicts from time to time. This is also to make the kingdoms confused about the true strength of the kingdom of fire. It is also more convenient to collect information...but there will be people who will be suspicious...I don't know who was following me last time, and I didn't notice it all the way home from the hospital."

Sasuke sneered, "It doesn't matter who he is, but you can be sure, he did his duty... He reported back everything we said, and the decision made by those adults is to assassinate you?"

Sakura sighed, "I'm afraid it's a waste of my reputation to be a confidante, but if I die and they don't see you turning against each other, I'm afraid there will be a long silence, and then they will try to catch those who have evil intentions towards the Kingdom of Fire." Black hand, it will be difficult."

Sasuke took a deep look at her, "I'm more worried than those who follow you.. Even if Sesaku believes that I have a quarrel with Naruto because of you, this Sesaku followed you from the hospital all the way home, I found out , How could Naruto not find out?"

Xiao Sakura's hands trembled suddenly, and she almost dropped her teacup on the ground.

She shook her head, "He...he was in a bad mood because Hinata was sick that day..."

Sasuke took a look at her and didn't say anything else. Seeing her drooping neck, she didn't know what she was thinking. He couldn't help but feel annoyed and cute, so he couldn't help but raised his hand to rub her head, "Speaking of Hinata, you recently Walked very close to her?"

Xiao Ying was stunned, and couldn't help looking up at him, seeing that he was just asking casually, so she forced a smile, "It was Naruto who entrusted me to take care of Hinata. She had a serious illness when she was born with Bo Ren in her early years. Soon after, I did that stupid thing again..."

She put the teacup back on the table, "Besides, if I spend more time with her, she will be in a better mood, and her body will naturally recover sooner."

Sasuke smiled and said, "I'm also in a bad mood, and I suffered from injuries in my early years. Doctor Uchiha, why don't you stay with me more?"

Sakura smiled, "Since I know that I am Dr. Uchiha, I know that I can work for you without any salary, and a good bird chooses a tree to live in. How can I not carefully weigh the pros and cons?"

Sasuke raised his eyebrows, "Oh? I rewarded you with myself, don't you think it's not enough?"

Sakura couldn't help being stunned, Sasuke seldom spoke like this usually, but today he was so relaxed, his handsome face added a bit of coquettish air, although it was a little strange, but it was heart-warming.

When he came back to his senses, his hands were already wrapped around his waist, and Sakura was startled to realize that the two of them were entangled in each other's poses, and she couldn't help but say, "The children are still..."

Sasuke ignored her, picked her up and kicked the door into the bedroom.

The blogger in the yard was doing his homework boringly. Just as he wanted to get up and go back to the house, he was hit on the back of the head by a stone. He turned around and yelled, "What are you doing?!"

The little girl with black hair and black eyes looked at herself calmly, and said in a deep voice, "Just stay here with me, if I don't go in, no one else is allowed to go in."

The author has something to say:

☆, Xianglin

Since Sasuke left the dark room, Naruto sat alone in the darkness, as still as a stone statue.

Naruto recalled what he said just now—

"If it were you, I would die happily..."

"Why can't the person who is with her be me?"

...The tone is really sincere, I don't know whether to use this situation to express the desire in my heart, or whether the acting is so superb.

Sasuke should know what to do by now.

Naruto waited in the dark for a while, and suddenly heard a noise, he couldn't help restraining himself, and said calmly, "You're here."

After a while, a graceful figure came out from the shadows, with fiery red hair showing a deep luster in the darkness.

She snorted coldly, "When will you help me get rid of Haruno Sakura?"

Naruto's expression froze, but he remained calm, "If you touch Sakura, will Sasuke still be able to marry you openly, Karin?"

Xianglin crossed her arms, "Hmph, if I hadn't considered this, would I have kept her until now? And let her give birth to the child?"

Naruto said indifferently, "Did you follow Sasuke home just now?"

Xiang Rin almost gritted her teeth, "Hmph, if I didn't follow Sasuke home, how would I know that he and Haruno Sakura are so close?"

Naruto naturally understood what she saw... Sasuke really understood his intentions... But, why is his heart hurting so much?

He waved his hand, "Sasuke will be yours sooner or later, you just have to be patient for a while, if you can't hold back now, all your previous efforts will be wasted."

Xiang Rin was about to retreat when Naruto suddenly thought of something, "...you followed Sakura?"

Xianglin's expression tightened, "I didn't."

Naruto smiled coldly, "You just need to remember that your task is to follow Sasuke and ensure that his whereabouts are not detected by the enemy's spy. The rest is up to you."

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Xianglin's back, but her mouth was still aggressive, "They are husband and wife, even if they bump into each other by chance, it is inevitable..."

A cold light flashed in Naruto's eyes, "The last time Sakura came back from the hospital, you followed her all the way, didn't you?"

Xianglin felt a chill in her heart, "Sure enough...the person who followed me that day...was Sai? Did you send him to follow me?"

Naruto shook his head, "Sai was an accident, but since he saw you stalking Sakura, he wouldn't hide it from me," suddenly his voice sank, "Xiang Rin, if it was Sasuke who found out that you were following Sakura, what would he do? ?”

Xianglin bit her lip and said nothing.

Naruto continued, "It is conceivable that Sasuke will be associated with me by you... Last time you kidnapped Hinata and he ran into him, he let you go and never told me about it, he just helped you cover... ..It can be seen that he thought it was just your acting alone...But this time you followed Sakura again...Do you think he can let you continue?"

Xianglin said "Yeah", but immediately stopped talking.Naruto glanced at her, "At that time, not only you will be restrained everywhere, even I will inevitably be restrained, have you thought about this?"

Naruto took a pen, took out a piece of paper, thought for a while, and wrote a line: "Put this note quietly on Hinata's desk."

Looking at the content of the line, Xianglin couldn't help being surprised, "This is...!"

Naruto smiled faintly, "I don't blame you for being reckless... Even I... can't wait any longer."

At this moment, Hinata is at the Zongjia's side, but she is absent-minded when dealing with official documents. For a while, she is worried whether Sasuke will stop Sai and Sakura, and at the same time, she is worried that there is indeed something strange about the painting. When someone knocked on the door, I was startled, and quickly warned: "Who?"

"My lord, the villain is here to serve tea."

Hinata breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that her fists were clenched tightly, so she eased her tone, "Come in."

A waiter came in with a tea tray, and put down the tea mat, teapot, teacup, teaspoon, tea needle, tea clip, tea set, tea sea, and the tea tube on the tea table in turn, and arranged them in the prescribed position, and then he bowed, " Sovereign Lord, are you still ordering tea yourself today?"

Hinata waved her hand, "Forget it, I'm not in the mood today, so you can help me order some tea."

The waiter was unhurried, "Yes." As he said that he was about to pick up the tea leaves, Hinata glanced at the tea, suddenly froze, and said: "Wait, you go down first, I suddenly thought of something thing…"

After the waiter stepped back, Hinata picked up the tea bag and looked at it in turn. There was a sharp crease line on the side of the tea bag. Press it in, and the line would pop out. , but it is a small note: the wind and rain in the paper, the cold coal in the intestines.Ups and downs.Push your hands and return, and you will pour out without tears.

Can't help but be surprised, is this Sasuke's secret word?So what's wrong with the painting?Brother Ning Ci, what other words are hidden in the painting?Unable to sit still for a while, he immediately got up and walked out, and an attendant stepped forward, "The suzerain is going out? Where are you going? What do you need to do? Do you want to send someone to Hokage-sama? "

Hinata was upset, and her expression became even colder, "No one is allowed to enter or leave the house without my order, please remember this."

"Yes!" After the waiter respectfully retreated, Hinata put on the bamboo hat and went straight to the restaurant where he met Sasuke.

Seeing that it was her, the waiter hurriedly led her way and said with a smile, "Your guest has been waiting for you for a long time."

Hinata didn't wait to think about it, as soon as she got to the room, she opened the door and said, "Is there anything strange in the painting? But Sakura and Sai found out...it's you?!"

Hinata's voice was abruptly cut off, her face turned pale, "Why are you... Naruto-kun?!"

The man with blond hair and blue eyes slowly lowered his cloak, revealing his usual deep and gentle facial features, "Madam, you are here."

The author has something to say:

☆, gray heart

"Unexpectedly, we are still facing each other like this in the end."

Naruto didn't show any emotion, but the words he said were like a weapon, cutting Hinata's heart with a knife.

In the embarrassing silence, Hinata suddenly showed a smile, leaned over and knelt on the ground, "What does Hokage-sama want to do with me? Imprisonment, exile, or execution?"

Naruto stared at her, "Why are you doing this? Hinata, I won't touch you in the slightest, and you are still the head of the Hyuga clan, nothing will change."

Hinata smiled coldly, "You don't move me because our marriage is a reassurance for the aristocratic politics of the Land of Fire, and you let me continue to be Suzerain Hyuga, but because Hanabi is young and not enough to take on big responsibilities, Hokage is a big man You have considered everything thoroughly, and you really deserve to be the king of the world."

Naruto frowned, "Do you have to talk like this?"

Although Hinata looked pale, her eyes were piercingly cold, as if the ice stubble in her heart were reflected in her eyes.

Naruto couldn't bear it, and took a step forward, wanting to hold Hinata's hand, hesitated for a while, and finally just supported her shoulder, "You get up and talk, we don't have such a relationship."

Hinata knew what Naruto's attitude meant, and felt extremely sad. In the end, she could only get up, and when she sat down, she still refused to speak.

Naruto's tone was very calm, "What is the mystery in Neji's painting, not only you, but I also want to know, but are you so sure that Sasuke will tell you everything?"

Hinata said indifferently: "Of course he can't be [-]% honest with me, but it's not my usual style to sit and wait for death. It's better to take advantage of each other than to catch them without a fight."

Naruto nodded, "He is not honest with you, have you thought about why?"

Hinata glanced at him, she was still familiar with the handsome features and deep blue eyes, and she still had such a gentle look, but the simple boy in the past has become sophisticated, tactful, restrained and careful, so she couldn't help feeling mixed emotions in her heart, she couldn't tell whether it was joy or sadness bitter.

Naruto didn't know what she was thinking, he sighed slightly, "I asked Sai to steal the painting, you can take a look."

Hinata was startled when he heard the words, and saw Naruto take out a miniature scroll from his sleeve, quickly unseal the seal, the scroll slowly unfolded, and the picture unfolded in front of Hinata at the same time.

She suddenly had a sudden premonition in her heart——she couldn't see it, or she shouldn't be the one to see it, she was not qualified...she didn't dare...but, that picture just crossed her line of sight—cruel and direct, just like her paragraph The things I have experienced since time are the same, one by one, I was caught off guard, and took away a little bit of what she had, and now... Hinata looked at Naruto tremblingly, "You must take away my last bit of fantasy Let's go? Naruto-kun, why are you so cruel?"

Naruto looked at the painting in silence. Inside, the short-haired Hinata had delicate features, and the girl's shy smile was like a budding stamen.

He looked at Hinata, "Ningji finished painting this painting, and died a few days later, that is, on the battlefield, he stood in front of you and me, and fought with Ten Tails until the last moment."

Hinata suddenly widened her eyes, "..."

Naruto stared at his nominal wife, his eyes suddenly filled with pity, "I remember, you already had long hair at that time, didn't you?"

Hinata sat slumped on the ground without answering.Yes, at that time she wanted to win Naruto's favor, she heard Naruto's complaint - "You all say that Sakura has long hair for Sasuke, but I also like long hair, why not for me Woolen cloth?"

So from that day on, she secretly continued her long hair. It was the first time she grew long hair since she was a child. People hid in the room and pondered... In the end, it was Brother Ning Ci who found himself and taught her how to tie hair, tie hairpins, and braid buns... Yes... She suddenly remembered that Brother Ning Ci once helped her comb her hair The sentence I said when I had long hair—"Hinata-sama...Actually, Hinata-sama with short hair is also very pretty."

Later, he blushed for no reason, and Hinata asked him why, but he only said, "Maybe it was the first time I saw you when I was a child, Mr. Hinata has short hair, so I...I think it's very good."

Yeah?Brother Ningci, you think I'm fine in everything, don't you?But I am very bad now, where are you?

Hinata slowly touched the portrait in the painting, it was Neci's self in her heart, but she was no longer what she could be.Everything... There is no going back.

Hinata's hand caressed every grain of the painting——suddenly... Hinata's hand paused, her heart trembled, and she couldn't help touching it with her hand again, only to see some powder falling down on the screen , although it was stained with oil paint due to long-term mixing with the paint, but the texture is completely different from the paint, she couldn't help being stunned, and turned her thoughts for a while, but when she looked up, she saw Naruto also had a serious face.

Hinata looked at him, "What is this?"

Naruto seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally said, "The hallucinogens... make people hallucinate, and at the same time cause chakra backflow, attacking the heart, once the force is exerted, even the reincarnation of the six sages will be useless."

Hinata's heart was extremely cold, and as soon as she let go, the painting fell back on the low table, and there was a "bang" sound when it hit the wood.

The author has something to say:

☆, lobbyist

Going to work the next day, Sakura quickly returned to the laboratory.

Opening the camera obscura, and taking out the tightly wrapped painting, Sakura didn't look at the painting, but just looked for the strands of hair she deliberately left yesterday—sure enough, the position has moved.

Sai's movements are already very subtle, but after all, he is a teammate, so it would be useless to hide it from the sky, besides, Saii didn't really want to hide it from himself——Sakura remembered what Sai said when they parted yesterday——

"If Naruto came to me, wouldn't you come to me?"

Yes, she replied, "I'll still be looking."

Of course she knew that Sai was on Naruto's side, and he would agree to help. Naturally, it would not be because of her sad and touching plea that Saii was willing to ask Naruto to help her--I am afraid it was just Naruto's instructing him to do so--otherwise Why did Konoha Hospital so readily grant them the laboratory for research?

Sakura put the painting back into the camera obscura, closed and locked the door, and left the laboratory building.

The other building is his office. Just as he went up the stairs, he saw Shikamaru when he looked up. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Your Excellency will come to the hospital to see your injuries?"

Shikamaru shrugged, "I don't want to die young yet—although Konoha's doctors are troublesome, they are better than Temari's medical skills."

Sakura laughed dryly, "When will you be able to learn from Naruto, he always only said that Hinata is good..."

Shikamaru glanced at her, "Being like him is worse than learning from you, Sasuke is so disregarding his family, didn't you say nothing - saying that you and Naruto are both national idols..."

Sakura smiled helplessly, "Anbu has always been ruthless, so naturally I don't need such a friendly image. I am the dignified medical minister. If I am as afraid of trouble as you...who would dare to go to the hospital for consultation?"

Shikamaru scratched his head, "Hey, I can't tell you," he said with a sudden smile, "But, isn't it strange to talk about Naruto, doesn't he know what kind of image he needs now?"

Xiao Sakura was stunned, and the smile froze on her face instantly, "...What does this mean?"

Shikamaru looked behind her suspiciously, "Ask him yourself."

Sakura didn't turn her head back, the deep male voice behind her was like a clear stream, but it made people tremble, "Xiaoying, can you take a step to talk?"

in the office.

Shikamaru leaned leisurely on the sofa chair, Sakura took out the medical kit from the cabinet, ready to give him medicine, Naruto sat aside, just watched quietly.

After a while, Sakura finally helped Shikamaru change the medicine, and closed the medicine box with a "snap", "Remember to change the medicine every three days, and take the medicine according to the prescription, both internal and external, if you are afraid of trouble, let Temari will help you remember."

Shikamaru was helpless, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been hurt..."

Sakura was silent for a while, "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't be the head of Anbu, it would be fine, if I knew it, I would be clear about my own intentions, if I knew it, I wouldn't do so many things against my will, and I would say everything. will miss-"

"Sakura!" Naruto finally called out to her, "...Stop talking..."

He finally responded to her, but it was too late. After all, she couldn't be calm towards him... She closed her eyes and finished speaking, "After all... you still didn't do anything, just like Neji. If he had been earlier Knowing that Hinata has no intentions for him, will she choose to die? And me...I am not much better than Neji..."

Shikamaru looked at Naruto, saw the dazed look on his face, couldn't help but secretly smiled, and quickly stood up, "I'm going to get the medicine first, and I'm leaving."

When the door was closed again, the two of them seemed to have nothing to say. Sakura glanced at him, but there was an inexplicable joy in her heart. This joy seemed to be a taboo that had been suppressed for a long time. .

Sakura said lightly, "Forget it, I guess you have nothing to say to me, so go back."

Naruto glanced at her, and was about to say something, but saw that she had turned around to clean up the documents, Naruto said "OK" and went out.

When Sakura heard the sound of closing the door, she didn't look back, but her hands stopped... She seemed to be talking to herself, "Idiot, if I don't keep you, you won't stay..."

I don't know how long I was in a daze, but the door was pushed open again. Sakura thought it was Naruto turning back, and turned to look, "You still come back to do it..."

"what?"

It was Hinata Tingting standing by the door, she was wearing a powder blue dress today, with black hair scattered behind her back, she looked like a fairy.

She walked in gracefully, pulled the chair away, and sat down slowly.

She smiled lightly, "Sakura, let's talk."

The author has something to say:

☆, script

"Naruto used to need a scene of deep love between husband and wife, but now, he has a script in his hand that will turn him into a concubine in anger."

"Finally...is it still going to start?"

"This is inevitable. The preparations for the past few years are nothing more than for the present."

Hinata said it lightly, but what Sakura heard was terrified.

"Brother Ningci's painting, have you read it too?"

"…Yes."

"Although the murderer is not clear, it is certain. First, he wants to kill Brother Ning Ci. Second, he hopes Naruto will marry me. Third, the first two points are good for him."

Xiao Ying already had a guess in her heart, while listening and watching Hinata's expression, she saw that she was as usual, as if she already knew it.

Sakura was momentarily at a loss for words, but fell silent instead.

Hinata then said, "Sakura, what do you think of me treating Naruto?"

Xiao Ying peeped at her expression secretly, but couldn't see sadness or joy, so she nodded and said, "Very good."

Hinata stared out of the window, "If one day I stop obeying him in everything, the rumors of the love between husband and wife will probably be broken."

Xiao Ying was startled, "The Qi family can govern the country, even if it's to lure out the secrets of the enemy country, you can't easily use your marriage reputation with Naruto as an introduction..."

Seeing Hinata glanced at her, Sakura couldn't help but hesitated, thought for a while before continuing: "Besides, even if you fall out with Naruto, the enemy country may not believe it... then it will only be the country of fire People are panicking, Hinata's family's prestige will inevitably be damaged, Hinata, don't be impulsive..."

Hinata slowly looked out the window, it was late autumn outside the window.

"Sakura, I didn't come to tell you these words for Naruto."

She turned her face, and suddenly saw Sakura's expression, she couldn't help but sneered, "I forgot, you didn't rush to refuse because of Naruto... you were worried about Sasuke?"

Sakura clenched her fists tightly, "In my heart, Sasuke is the father of my child. I am worthy of my child, so I have nothing to do to Sasuke. But..."

Hinata just stared at her, quietly waiting for Wenwen.

Sakura took a deep breath, "Just because it's unfair to Naruto."

Hinata was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt pain in all internal organs, and sucked in a breath of cold air, but the breath turned into a sneer: "beautiful, in an important position, and a peer of Hokage, how about the whole kingdom of fire?" Is there anyone more suitable than you?"

Sakura stared at Hinata, "I'm afraid these are not the main points. What Hokage-sama values ​​most is probably my marriage status with Sasuke."

Hinata smiled slightly, "This is of course very important. Sasuke-kun and Naruto-kun have always been at odds, and now they add a hatred of taking his wife. In the eyes of those who are interested, they are already worthy of the name of crusade."

Sakura bowed her head, "Really? At that time, Sasuke will pretend to borrow troops from the enemy country, and go deep into the enemy's interior in the name of crusade against Naruto, but in fact, he will cooperate with Naruto inside and outside to wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop?"

Hinata couldn't help being surprised, but also seemed to approve, "As expected of the fifth generation's favorite student, it's a shame to let you only be a medical minister."

Xiao Ying's expression was indifferent, "It's not like everyone has the bearing of Mrs. Hokage, and she actively persuades other women to share the favor of the pepper room."

Hinata's tone also faded, "So, do you agree?"

Sakura remained silent.

Hinata suddenly lowered her voice, "Do you think... I'd be happy to persuade you?"

Xiao Ying neither shook her head nor nodded, but looked up at Hinata, and saw that her usual calm face was stained with anger at this moment, but her eyes seemed to be flickering, with a bit of courage.

Sakura smiled, "Mrs. Hokage is not happy, and I am not happy either. Our dissatisfaction comes from the same source. As the saying goes, don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others. I don't want to act, and I don't know how to act. If my Not cooperating will hinder Hokage-sama's great career, I will immediately give up the position of medical minister...the few subordinates I have trained in the past few years...are enough to replace me..."

Hinata laughed angrily.

She stared at the gentle yet resolute beauty in front of her, and suddenly uttered a sentence, "Sakura, I admired you very much, you are so dedicated to Sasuke, and you have followed and devoted desperately for more than ten years..."

Xiao Ying's face darkened, but she saw Hinata slowly stand up and walk towards the door, "How many people pretend not to want it because they can't get it? I thought you were not such a person."

The sound of the door falling was very soft, but Sakura felt that a door that had just been opened to her was just closed by her.In the past so many years, this door has been there, and it has been opened to her countless times, and she either ignores or ridicules, or pretends to flatter or muddle through, but now, she suddenly can't figure out what she wants... She really... Don't want to push that door open at all?

I can't get it, so I don't want it.What Hinata said is not entirely correct, it's not that she doesn't want it, but if she wants it, she will lose far more than she gets, and this gain may not be the best result.

His nails sank into his flesh, but his heart became even colder. Suddenly, his mind tightened, and he said in a solemn voice, "Who's outside? Come in!"

The door was gently pushed open, and Shikamaru stood at the door awkwardly, "I lost the prescription, Sakura, can you give me another one."

Sakura spread her hands, "I'm leaving get off work."

Shikamaru was taken aback, "But you just went to work..."

Xiao Sakura ignored him, leaned over to find a series of official seals, documents, and secret letters of the Minister of Medical Care in the drawer, and sorted them out carefully, without raising her head, she said, "I will no longer be the Minister of Medical Care soon, and you will come to see the doctor later." , let’s wait in line to register honestly. This office is about to change hands.”

Shikamaru turned around and closed the door, his voice sank suddenly, "It's just nonsense."

Sakura continued to code the documents, and found Naruto's letter of appointment as the Minister of Medical Care. The font on it was messy as usual, but the wording was serious: "Konohazumi Haruno Sakura, the Fifth Generation's direct disciple, my To the letter. Four wars have not stopped, made meritorious deeds repeatedly, and have the ability to calm the world; to observe the patients, to work tirelessly, and to be kind and harmonious. Today, I specially appointed Haruno Sakura as the head of the Konoha Medical Department. Congratulations... I believe in you, no need to say more."

She suddenly turned it over, unwilling to look at it again.

Shikamaru observed her series of movements, and had already guessed the general idea, so he sat down calmly, "I've never been afraid of trouble, guess why?"

Sakura smiled, "I'm not in the mood to guess right now, so just tell me."

Shikamaru shrugged, "Because you put too much effort into one thing, you will eventually lose your mind, lose your demeanor, and lose your original mentality."

He glanced at her quietly, and said again: "It's just that I also know that it's because I really love something that I care about it, and I don't have grace. Even if it makes things troublesome, it's a happy thing." .”

Sakura slapped a tart of paper on the table, "I have already made my choice. Nothing will change, and you don't have to persuade me."

A trace of pity flashed in Shikamaru's eyes, "You chose Uchiha, but Naruto, he still chose you."

Xiao Ying was stunned, and opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, after thinking about it, she just pointed to the door, and stopped talking.

Shikamaru stood up leisurely, "Although I'm a little sorry for Sasuke, just like what Temari said, it's just a coward's act to keep avoiding and not being able to carry out your beliefs. You can figure out what to do."

There was another slam of the door.

Sakura's hand holding the document hangs down weakly, but the door opens again, she gritted her teeth, "What else do you want to say?"

Shikamaru scratched his head, "Naruto should be in Hokage's office now. I just remind you."

Sakura's right hand has condensed a chakra ball, "Do you think he is the only one who knows how to spiral pill?"

The author has something to say:

☆, refuse

"Got to go?"

"Ah."

After a long silence, she still heard the sound of lifting the box, Sakura couldn't help closing her eyes, "Wait a minute."

The back stopped, Sakura walked up to Sasuke, straightened his collar for him, "Take care of yourself."

Her fingers were cold and brushed against his chin inadvertently——Sasuke couldn't help being stunned, "Xiao Sakura...Thank you."

Sakura's face turned pale, this scene was so familiar that she almost forgot it.Many years ago, it was also the same kind of parting without knowing the future, and the parting lasted seven years.

Now, do they have another seven years?

Sakura quickly recovered her mind and smiled, "Will we meet again, us?"

Sasuke looked at her, "If... I can come back..."

Sakura shook her head, "Let's not meet again."

There was a trace of struggle in Sasuke's eyes.

Finally, he nodded, "Take care."

After sending Sasuke off, Sakura took off the home clothes she was wearing, put on a crimson haze dress, and carefully put on some light makeup. She didn't put down her hands until the beauty in the mirror had watery eyes and long eyebrows. cosmetics.

From time to time there is the sound of autumn cicadas outside the window, adding to the sadness of the beauty, even if it is beautiful, it has failed.

Shikamaru was the first to notice something was wrong.He looked at Hokage in front of him. From the meeting just now to the secret conversation now, he has been in a state of restlessness.

Shikamaru cleared his throat, "About Water Country's request to readjust the relationship between the five major countries..."——Naruto looked out the window again, without even covering up.

Shikamaru was helpless, "Hey...I said..."

Naruto suddenly turned his head, "I'll go out first, and I'll talk about the rest when I come back. If it's really urgent, you should take care of it first, and then fill out the authorization letter when you come back."

Then there was a thunderbolt——Shikamaru saw a shadow flash past, and the chair was empty.

"Uzumaki Naruto!!"

Naruto turned a deaf ear to Minister Anbu's roar, which was locked in the office. He just saw the Sakura-haired figure outside the window, and his heart suddenly lost its rhythm.

Xiao Ying stood under the tree, kicking the stones beside her feet, feeling a little bored, suddenly turned her head, and saw Naruto standing a step away, with a hesitant expression on his face, but his face was red .

She smiled, "I've been waiting for a long time."

Naruto was taken aback, "Sakura...you...really agree?"

Xiao Sakura put her hands behind her back and thought for a while, "I said, if you have any difficulties, next time, I will help you."

The person in front of her was close at hand, but there was no warmth in her smile, and the words she said were like hard stones hitting her heart, Naruto clenched her fists tightly and said nothing.

As if she didn't realize it, Sakura took the initiative to take a step forward, and the distance between the two of them disappeared, and Naruto could even smell the fragrance of her breath.

He missed her face day and night, and he loved her smile, but everything was wrong, he never felt that she was farther away from him than now.

He couldn't help laughing at himself—it's not Xiaoying's fault, it's himself, he caught it too late and waited too long, so that now he invites her to play a play with him, the truth has become a lie, in case Thinking like falling into a quagmire - it's too late.

He said nothing.

Sakura looked at him lightly, "Naruto-kun?"

Naruto's voice was muffled: "If you don't want to, I won't force you."

He was clearly much taller than Sakura, but at the moment he lowered his head, but she couldn't see his expression clearly.

Sakura shook her head, "Didn't I say, I am willing."

Naruto smiled wryly, "...Really?"

Xiao Ying stared at him, and suddenly said, "Perhaps, I made a mistake?"

Naruto raised his head suddenly, and put his hands on her shoulders, "Do you know, I did it on purpose. If you and I are acting like this, after the war is over, the military will choose to continue the rumors in order to ensure that the war is justified...your past There will always be a stain of adultery...and your position as Minister of Medical Care, I don't know if I can help you keep it!"

Although her movements were restrained, Sakura just looked at Naruto.His hands were very warm, and the temperature from his hands could be felt on his shoulders. His eyes were so serious, but his voice trembled a little... There was even a hint of sadness.

Xiao Ying suddenly raised her hand, and pulled back the two hands he was pressing on her shoulders, and her body fell directly into his embrace.

Naruto's body trembled violently, the temperature in his arms...so warm, and Sakura's aura was like a dream, the dream in his arms, fragile and beautiful, was right beside him, he could touch it as soon as he stretched out his hand- -But..her heart...where is it?Can he have it?Or, never?

Xiao Sakura wrapped her hands around his waist, put her face next to his ear, "Today, go to my house."

Naruto's whole body froze, no, no, that's not it - he knew that Sakura in front of him was just acting, and he also knew that she was just discussing the script with him in an ambiguous manner, but he gritted his teeth - he was wrong He has never been able to act in front of her, let alone show such affection, if he is not careful, he will play with fire***—he can’t be as flexible and just right as her after all—ruthless and affectionate, The difference is here.

He pushed her away, with a bottomless calm in his eyes, "Sakura, I regret it."

Sakura slowly put her hands on his face, "When you lie, your face is cold."

Naruto remained motionless, "Go back and have a good time with Sasuke."

Sakura put down her hands and shrugged, "Sasuke-kun? He's gone already."

Naruto trembled, "What?"

Sakura nodded, "So, I am free. We are together, and I am voluntary."

Naruto struggled to raise his hand, and Sakura waited—the next second, Naruto's hand fell on her shoulder, brushing off a leaf for her, "Sakura, did you misunderstand?"
