One season of cherry blossoms

At the beginning of the mission in the Kingdom of Waves, I encountered two middle-level ninjas blocking me on the way.As soon as he came up, he tore "Kakashi" on one side into pieces.And she just backed away a few steps silently, pulled the alcoholic client to a place a little further away, holding two black daggers that she did not know when she took out in her hand, —— at the time of snatching the bell It's the first time I've seen her use it.

And after the two ninjas who rushed out on the way were dealt with...

From seeing Kakashi being hit by a sharp weapon and being torn apart—even though it was just an illusion created by a substitute—to when the two ninjas were killed later, her expression was indifferent from beginning to end. A kind of indifference that doesn't even bother to make a little fluctuation.

His eyes didn't even bother to flicker, and the surprise disappeared in a flash.Because I myself did panic for a moment when the surprise attack suddenly appeared, but she just watched with cold eyes.

The Naruto guy also dealt with one of the attackers after being uncharacteristically calm.Then he could just stand beside her and ask, [Are you all right?sakura. ]

I saw the expression on her face change little by little, as if it was slowly thawing.She lowered her head and stretched out her hand, grabbing the cloth on Naruto's arm,—there was blood stained there—she stared at it, the fingers of her right hand gripping Naruto's cloth trembled slightly, and then her voice was numb She said softly, [Hey, Naruto... I saw... I saw a dead person...] During the words, her tone was carefully lightened, so light...

Such a slightly hoarse voice, feeling extremely sad.

At that moment, I suddenly became dazed and questioned the woman I saw just now. Is that expression just a moment of dazzle on my eyes and I misread it...just an illusion?

There was no answer, and he looked at her again, but he kept pulling Naruto's sleeves tightly, and suddenly felt irritated for no reason.

I especially remember the one at the summer festival.

When she heard that the date of the summer festival was approaching, her eyes lit up.I insisted on going that day, and even decided to call Naruto, Hinata Sawahiko, Hinata Hinata, Ino Yamanaka and... me.

[To go together. ] As she said this, she asked so expectantly, her eyes filled with hope.

Although he didn't accept it, he didn't refute her request either. He felt that... he didn't want to see her disappointed.So on the night of the summer festival, she also went at the agreed time, but after waiting for a long time for everyone to arrive, she was the only one who was late.

Only when the temple fair started, there was no one there.

In the end I didn't see her.So he walked around with the crowd, and gradually got separated from the others.Watching people coming and going, and others talking about fireworks will be set off.

Not in the mood to watch, not in the mood to watch by myself, ready to withdraw from the crowd, but seeing her looking around at the end of the crowd, she looked surprised.After being slightly startled for a moment, the corners of his mouth were raised in disbelief, and his mood suddenly improved.

At that time, her face was full of light and shadow.

She raised the corners of her lips slightly, she was smiling but also very ethereal.I moved a few steps and turned around and stood beside her, watching the fireworks bloom one after another in the same sky on the other side, leaving only a faint shadow on the black sky.

Then, like a memory, it fades away and disappears...

She watched the flickering lights and shadows in the sky, and suddenly said, "Fireworks, very lonely.Right? ]

[Um. ] only answered a single note, I turned my head to look at her side face, which was still pale due to the colorful light and shadow.I think she is lonelier than fireworks.

Maybe she is very strong, and she is even more stubborn and decisive to isolate everyone from her world.Don't let anyone step in.She will carefully put the things she wants you to see in front of you, and she always hides those things she doesn't want others to see more carefully.

When she decided to cross to the other side by boat, she was so noisy like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and asked Kakashi loudly, "Can't we use another means of transportation?" ]

And Kakashi said, [Well, the only thing I know so far is the ship, do you have any good suggestions? ] let her calm down from the state of flaring her teeth and claws and jumping up and down.Then he muttered, [Really, I am seasick! ] I thought she would go by boat peacefully, but it turned out that she removed the weight on her legs, then stepped steadily on the water, trotted all the way, and gradually disappeared in the fog in front of her eyes.

I looked at the ground where two holes had been made by the load she removed just now, and thought to myself—how far are we from each other?

A few months ago, she still looked like she was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, giggling and skipping classes every day.It's okay, I like to show off my power to me with arrogance.In the bell snatching test some time ago, she was able to snatch the bell in one fell swoop, but now she walked away with only a back on the water.

Pay attention to her because of her gradually showing strength?But because of her wry smile, he would feel even more heart-wrenching pain.No matter what aspect, I can only see her back gradually going away, so I always want to catch up, catch up to the vacant position where I can stand beside her.

However, every time I thought, "Shouldn't the distance be a little closer?", that kind of happiness would be wiped away by her figure that was farther away from her when she raised her head unexpectedly.

Over time, I discovered her strength and let myself notice her.It's just that I don't know when, I have already put her in my heart for a long, long time.

After knowing about Hinata Zehiko's accident, she began to go from being in a trance to being anxious at the moment of knowing the news, watching her smile forced to herself with red eyes, and listening to her intentionally saying insignificant words.It looked like someone had cut a bloody gash on his body. He was already bruised and bloody, and he was hoping to hide his pain with a smile.

I remembered the words I said when I found her unconscious in the woods one night before the mission:

——Idiot, Hinata is not the only one in this world.

"It's not that Hyuga Zehiko is the only one behind you, and it's not that he is the only one who cares about you."

[Mr. Kakashi, you are slow to death! ] She said with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and there was a faint sly flash in her eyes.

Looking at her standing on the shore, there is always a sly light in her eyes, but there is only a plain her between her brows.Do you think you can catch up if you have some more time?Even if she never waits, it doesn't matter.

I'll always try my best to catch up!absolutely will...
