[Hokage] Thank you for loving me

While the other three were still immersed in the shock brought by the power of the sky, Miwa led Heinosuke downstairs.

"Master Fukuyama, you have been waiting for a long time. The room has been tidied up and you can rest."

Hiranosuke kept twisting and turning in Miwa's hands, trying to run to Sasuke's side, he shouted loudly: "Big brother, big brother, let's do it again, mom doesn't believe you just beat me went upstairs."

"Okay, okay, don't disturb everyone's rest." Miwa pulled Hiranosuke to her side, and smiled apologetically at Fukuyama and the others: "This child is really real, how can people disappear out of thin air?"

Sakura came to Hiranosuke and said to him softly: "Hiranosuke, you should go to bed now, and when I wake up tomorrow morning, I will let the big brothers show you ninjutsu, okay?"

"But mom doesn't believe me..."

"Your mother is tired after tidying up the room for so long. You also hope that she will have a good rest, right? When she sees those miraculous ninjutsu with her own eyes tomorrow morning, she will believe your words."

"Okay..." Heinosuke looked back at his mother and found that she was indeed tired, so he had to mutter and compromise unwillingly.

Miwa patted Heinosuke's head, and said helplessly: "This kid likes ninjas very much. He usually hears a lot of exaggerated stories from the villagers who live in the store and eat, and his mind is full of ninjas all day long." Cultivation and other whimsical ideas. You don't need to pay attention to his unreasonable troubles, and you should rest quickly."

At this time, Fukuyama seemed to think of something, and said to Meihe: "Do you have any old clothes suitable for this girl? Her clothes were damaged in order to save me today."

"Yes, yes." Upon hearing this, Meihe hurried back to the house, and soon took out a white half-sleeved dress with exquisite workmanship and embroidered light pink cherry blossom pattern, which was probably new.

"How can I accept such new clothes." Sakura quickly declined.

"This is the skirt I wore when I was young, and I can't fit it now, so it has been kept at the bottom of the box, and it is very well preserved. Now a beautiful girl like you has come, and it is just right to give it to you." Meihe enthusiastically The clothes were handed to Sakura, and she continued, "And you also saved Master Fukuyama and healed my son's injury. It's also appropriate to give you a handy thank you gift."

"Just accept it." Fukuyama persuaded from the side.

Sakura had no choice but to take the skirt carefully and put it in her arms.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard, let's have a good rest." After everything was arranged, Fukuyama turned and went upstairs, while Ikeda and Yumen followed closely behind him and escorted him into the room; He led Hiranosuke back to the room and went to bed.Sakura and Sasuke were left in the spacious hotel dining room in an instant.

After being alone for a long time, it was a rare opportunity to chat with Sasuke, Sakura tried hard to talk to him for a while.What can I say?After thinking about it, Sakura finally squeezed out a sentence:

"Sasuke-kun, shall I replace the cloak and return it to you?"

"...No need, you can put it on first."

"Then, after I change into this skirt tomorrow morning, I'll return it to you."

"……it is good"

After being silent for a while, Sakura continued her efforts, pretending to be relaxed and saying:

"By the way, Sasuke-kun, you have grown a lot taller. I remember that when you left the village, the three of us were about the same height. Naruto, he has also grown a lot taller, and he always said that when you go back, Then you can bow your head and talk to you. However, he will definitely be disappointed when the time comes, because Sasuke-kun has grown so much taller."

"That guy mentioned in his letter that he grew taller or something." Sasuke seemed to think of Naruto's frustrated face, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

"Does Naruto write to you often? That's great, I want to write to Sasuke-kun too."

"Most of his letters are about trivial matters."

"The last impersonation incident, is it not important to Sasuke-kun?"

"Is not it?"

"Hahaha, Naruto said that you would never mind being faked, and it seems that he was right again."

"..."

"Then, in Sasuke-kun's opinion, what is the most important thing in traveling?"

Sasuke didn't answer Sakura's question, but just quietly looked down at her, only her figure was reflected in his deep right eye at this moment.

Sakura had already guessed the answer, and couldn't help blushing, but she still suppressed the joy in her heart, and wanted to ask more clearly:

"At that time, Sasuke-kun came back, right?" Was it because you were worried about me that you came here to save me?

It's a pity that Sasuke didn't answer Sakura's question directly. He said meaningfully: "...you worked hard when I wasn't around, Sakura." After speaking, he stretched out his right hand and gently patted her head: " You've worked hard today, good night." Then she turned and went upstairs.

Looking at the back of him leaving, Sakura stroked her hair, and seemed to be able to feel the warmth of Sasuke's fingertips on it.This is not her illusion. During this reunion, Sasuke's attitude towards himself has obviously improved a lot, and his every move indicates that the relationship between the two of them is changing in a good direction.She didn't dare to expect that he would fall in love with her suddenly and treat her from a "companion" to a "lover", but at least this time, he might be willing to give her a chance and take her on his "journey of redemption" ".After all, he promised her "next time". Isn't this reunion exactly "next time"?

Sakura, who was so optimistic about her relationship, fell on the bed after returning to her room.She took off Sasuke's cloak and held it in her arms, felt his breath, smiled smirkingly, and fell asleep happily...

In the middle of the night, the coolness of the spring night awakened Sakura in her sleep, and she realized that she was wearing torn clothes and fell asleep holding Sasuke's cloak.

"I'm so thirsty, let's drink a glass of water." Sakura thought, put on Sasuke's cloak, and went to the kitchen to find a teapot.

Her room is at the far left end of the second floor, and the stairs leading to the kitchen on the first floor are at the far right of the corridor, so Sakura has to go through the entire corridor on the second floor.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a dark figure sitting in the doorway of the room next to him and Fukuyama's room in the dark corridor.

"Yu, Yumen?" Sakura lowered her voice and asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

"Watch the night for Master Fukuyama." Yumen replied coldly and in a low voice.

"But the enemy only acted a few hours ago, won't they attack again in such a short time?"

"During the task, you can't relax for a moment, don't you know?"

"Besides, am I right next door to Mr. Fukuyama?"

"You?" Yumen's voice began to be mocking again: "I'm afraid you are a deeper sleeper than anyone here." Then, he looked at Sakura in the dark, and said with displeasure: " Do you even sleep in this ragged cloak?"

Sakura didn't want to discuss this issue with him, so she said to him angrily, "You've worked hard, so stay here slowly." After she finished speaking, she walked over the imperial gate and walked straight to the stairs ahead.

"Hello, Haruno." Yumen behind her stopped her softly.

"?"

"In the evening, thank you for saving me." The voice, which was already very low, became softer and softer, almost inaudible.

"What?" Sakura felt that Yumen's softness was really rare, and suddenly wanted to laugh out loud in this dark night, but she suppressed her smile, pretending not to hear him, and asked mischievously.

"I said, thank you for saving me." Yumen blushed, and said it again in a slightly higher tone.

Feeling very satisfied, Sakura let out an "oh", turned around and went downstairs.After a while, she brought a glass of water from the kitchen and handed it to Yumen:

"Would you like a glass of water?"

Yumen took the cup and drank it without hesitation.

"……thanks."

Sakura stared at Mimon, who was not frank even in the dark, for a while, before answering ambiguously:

"Actually, you don't need to thank you."

The author has something to say:

Sakura: "I really hope that the friendship boat will turn over and fall directly into the vortex of love."

Sasuke: "What?"

Sakura: "It's said in "The True Story of Sakura", you were worried that I would be bullied by bad guys, and you came here to save me, which shows that you care about me!"

Sasuke: "...you and Kakashi can flirt like this while facing a bunch of traces of fire escape, I'm really convinced."
