[Comprehensive] living to death

On the 65th anniversary of the founding of Ninja School, Sasuke was forcefully dragged back by Naruto to participate in the celebration.There is a big banner hanging in the school, nothing more than saying "Congratulations! The 65th Anniversary of Ninja School!" This kind of nonsense, and there is a day off so the children running around are noisy and happy to an unbelievable degree , Sasuke couldn't help wondering: Is it really worth being excited to this extent?

Because of this doubt, he stood by the window of the teaching building and stared at the children on the training ground for a while.A few little boys were fighting together, and a few girls were yelling at the side, probably to cheer up or persuade a fight. Similar things happened when he was in school.However, children of this age looked really small, so small that Sasuke was surprised and confused.He tried to remember what he was like at the time, but couldn't remember anyway.At that time, there were still girls who confessed to him. Could it be that they said "I like you" to faces as immature as those little devils over there?It's so weird.

Then again, why would he want this?Sasuke sighed silently, and attributed the previous cranky thoughts to the exhaustion after finishing the task.It is said that the current situation is not bad, and there is no major friction, but there are always temptations back and forth between the country and the village. Sasuke just came back from the outside, and was injured in order to protect his companions.

He withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at the writhing junior.But when he looked down, he suddenly saw a rose and an envelope at his feet.

...roses and envelopes?Someone just now?

The Sharingan pattern appeared for a moment, but nothing abnormal was found.Sasuke picked up the flower and the envelope, while being careful not to touch the thorns of the flower to prevent poisoning and the like.But he saw at once that such caution was unnecessary, for none of the rose's thorns remained; the dark green stem was as smooth as silk to the touch.The envelope was clean, except for a circled "1," which looked like a number.

Sasuke opened the envelope and pulled out a beige card with the words:

——Where do we meet? It's far away in Baiyun Township.

"Sasuke! What are you looking at?"

The shadow beside him flickered, and then someone patted his shoulder vigorously.Sasuke could dodge it, but he didn't; don't take it seriously when playing among companions.He looked up and saw Naruto looking at him curiously, then he poked him with a smirk and said, "Wow, love letter! Sasuke, you're still so popular."

"Tell it like you haven't received it." Sasuke disagreed.In the last two years of the ninja school, he often received heart cards from girls, for which he was ridiculed by his peers—everyone was inexplicably concerned about interacting with the opposite sex when he was young.But when everyone gets older, the boys' ridicule will turn into unspeakable envy and faint jealousy. Only a carefree person like Naruto will continue to joke without caring.

No, maybe not because of character, but because of the degree of excellence.As Itachi said, if you are too good, you will be excluded, and you will become lonely in the end.

Only equally good people can look at each other with peaceful eyes.

Sasuke put the card into his pocket and held the flower in his hand.He planned to observe again. If someone deliberately threw this thing over, there should be follow-up actions.Sasuke can accept that he is not the strongest yet, but he cannot tolerate that he is not aware of it.

Who will it be?For what purpose?

Naruto was also thinking. "It's strange, why would a girl give a yellow rose? Isn't that a gift after breaking up?" He muttered, the small stubble on his lips that belonged to a boy and the beard symbol representing the Nine-Tails seal were mixed together, matching his round face , not so handsome, but very friendly.He looked at Sasuke's pocket with longing eyes, silently expressing his curiosity.

"Don't look, there is no signature on it." Sasuke was shocked by him, and walked two steps faster in disgust, "Naruto, when did you become interested in the language of flowers? When I went to the flower shop before, you still talked It’s something for a little girl to play house, and I almost had a fight with Ino.”

The friend coughed loudly, and said with wide eyes that he was just suddenly interested in flower language, and had no other meaning.How guilty and guilty it is to look like that.Sasuke glanced at him more, and laughed.

It was a determined and playful smile, as if grabbing a friend for something, with a bit of malicious intentions. "I said, you don't have a girl you like, do you?" Sasuke raised his eyebrows.

Naruto yelled, rushed over and hooked Sasuke's neck, told him to keep his voice down, and looked around nervously, only after making sure that only a few passing children looked at them curiously, did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Sasuke pushed his arm away. "Please, isn't it more attractive for you to be so exaggerated? And there is no one, why are you nervous..." His eyes became subtle, "Could it be a classmate who went back to school together today?"

Naruto crossed his arms, it was a somewhat defensive movement, the purpose was to cover up the embarrassment in his heart, trying to look indifferent. "Well, don't you know that." He whispered, "It's her."

"cherry?"

"Shh-"

This guy's exaggerated performance attracted more attention than his own voice. "Didn't you always yell like this when you were a child, why are you shy now." Sasuke complained, "Is there any ninja in our class who doesn't know about this?"

"I used to be... Tongyan Wuji!"

"So you're serious now?"

Naruto didn't answer, just kept laughing, looking silly.Sasuke raised his chin, turned around and walked towards the demonstration hall, as if he had no interest in his friend's teenage thoughts.He has a proud personality, and it's normal to be uninterested in these things, so Naruto didn't think about anything else, he caught up and changed the subject, and chatted about other things with great interest.

The sunlight outside the teaching building covers the corridors with scattered tree shadows, and in the distance there are spring flowers dotting the flower gardens of residents' homes.Sasuke looked at the fresh green branches and leaves, and heard the voices of his friends chattering and laughing.He replied to Naruto from time to time, but his heart was a little heavy and tangled, because on a sunny day last week, the girl with pink hair confessed to him.

Fortunately, I refused.

It shouldn't have any effect...

At this time, there was a slight "click" sound under his feet, and he felt a little foreign body.Sasuke stopped, his heart sank.

A rose, and a small envelope exactly the same as before, lay quietly at his feet.

"Sasuke? It's strange, there was no one just now!"

"It may also be that we are too weak to feel anything."

Sasuke was in a bad mood.He grabbed the two items and impatiently opened the envelope.Inside was still a small light yellow card, this time it read:

——The oriole has not sang, so there is no spring.

"This time it's a white rose..." Naruto was still recalling the flower language.

"Forget those flower language!" Sasuke said angrily, "Who the hell is doing such a boring thing? Damn, I didn't even notice my Sharingan."

"Huh? Could it be that someone who wrote Sharingan did it? For example, Brother Itachi?"

"My brother is not that boring, and so are others..."

Sasuke grabbed the two cards, stared at the handwriting on them, and tried to remember.But the relevant memory is blank.Indeed, he was too young at that time.

"What, Sasuke, did you find any clues?"

"It's just a little speculation." Sasuke straightened the card and put it away again, "Naruto, help me deal with the teacher and classmates, I'll go back first."

"Hey? But Sasuke, don't you still have an excellent alumni speech..."

A scroll was thrown into Naruto's arms.

"I'll give you the speech, change it and send it to you!"

"Huh? I don't want to talk twice—hey Sasuke!"

Sasuke had already jumped out of the window, jumped to the ground with the help of overgrown branches, and ran towards the clan's place quickly.The spring breeze was blowing on his face, and the cherry blossoms on the roadside partition wall were raining flowers, shining brightly under the cloudless blue sky.The spring of Konoha has always been beautiful.

Next month is May.May [-]th is my sister's birthday.He knew that this guess was illogical and had no evidence, and it was the kind that would be looked down upon by Itachi if he said it - Of course Itachi wouldn't, it was Sasuke himself who was sensitive and didn't want to show weakness to his brother.However, this is not important now.

Chunyang, green leaves and cherry blossoms, as well as the somewhat blurred street scenes that flowed in his vision while running, all felt very familiar, giving him the illusion of going back in time.Maybe in the past he did have a time when he sneaked out of school to meet people he liked and had a good time with.When did that happen?Only feeling, no memory.Did such a thing ever happen?

When he was about to reach the gate of the clan, the branches above his head shook, and something fell down.Sasuke grabbed it and found it was a letter without any surprise.He looked up and saw only a fresh rose, bright red among the young green bushes.He took the roses down and gathered them together with the two just now into a small bouquet.

This time, the card read:

——The king is like spring grass and green, falling in love at first sight.

A bouquet of roses and a subtle and meaningful ancient poem.Sasuke suddenly became uncertain.It really looked like a well-thought-out confession, rather than the... kind of mischievous joke he felt.

He hesitated, and stopped at the gate of the clan.If this is someone's confession, then it would be too embarrassing for him to run back with these flowers.Mother knew his itinerary today, if asked why he came back suddenly, how should he answer?Talking about unreasonable conjectures will probably make my mother sad again.

The gate of the clan is very quiet, a few sparrows are jumping around and pecking at something under the dark blue curtain, their chubby bodies are bouncing around, and they are not afraid to see someone not far away, and continue to look for food as if nothing happened.Entering from the gate is the place belonging to the Uchiha family, or the place that once belonged to the Uchiha.Sasuke remembered that when he was very young, it was very lively here, all the clansmen lived in this area, and there were all kinds of shops, just like a village within a village.Later, everyone gradually moved away, mainly young people, who were scattered all over the village, and the clan land was much quieter.Once Itachi inadvertently mentioned that there was an older sister's hard work behind it. At that time, Sasuke was secretly angry with his older sister. He thought it was not fun to be so quiet around his house. He didn't like it. Later, when he grew up, he realized that the whole family It's not good to keep a distance from the rest of the village all the time.

"Sasuke-kun."

The man's steps were very light, but his breath was a little unsteady, and he was obviously running over in a hurry.Sasuke had sensed it a long time ago, but he still had a little fantasy, hoping that she didn't come to find him, but now he had to face the truth.He leaned down and nodded with a flat expression.

"Sakura. Why are you here?" Sasuke clearly knew the answer in his heart, but pretended not to know, "Today is the school's anniversary, you should give a report in the presentation hall now."

The girl named "Sakura" also has the appearance of a cherry blossom.As a teammate during the ninja period, Sakura is the female Sasuke is most familiar with at the same time, but after the incident last week, Sasuke really realized that the person in front of him is not only a companion, but also a fresh and beautiful girl.At this moment, she was panting, and it seemed that she had just hurriedly chased after him, and her cheeks were also slightly red. This appearance made Sasuke feel very bad, and it was also very troublesome.Hasn't he already refused?

"I..." Sakura took a deep breath, as if mustering up her courage, "Is Sasuke-kun here for a date? Who is it with? Do I... know each other?"

Sasuke realized she was reading the words in his hand.Yellow, white, red, three delicate and beautiful roses, it is easy to be misunderstood in the hand - no, he does not know whether it is a misunderstanding.

"Sakura, this is none of your business." Sasuke deliberately acted colder than usual, "Okay, go back quickly, Naruto and the others are waiting for you."

Sakura's arrival dispelled Sasuke's hesitation. He raised his legs and walked towards the clan field, his movements were firm, and he ignored his companion's reddish eye sockets.

"Sasuke-kun..." She didn't catch up, but asked sadly behind his back, "Is it because of Naruto that you are so indifferent to me?"

Sasuke didn't look back. "It's none of other people's business." He said indifferently, "Thank you for your kindness, Sakura, but don't waste your time on me."

He plunged headlong into the world behind the curtain.He heard the girl behind him say "I won't give up", which upset him a little.This trouble is not aimed at Sakura, but...

If only the so-called "relationship" was always as innocent as when I was a child.Among all the changes related to growth, only this relationship entanglement, which is as confusing as Asagiri, really makes Sasuke resist.

Sasuke vaguely felt that the so-called "love affair" was like choosing someone while losing someone at the same time.Maybe there are more than a few people lost.

I'm so annoying.
