[Hokage] Thank you for loving me

Seeing Yumen, who had just recovered from poisoning, squatting at the door of Fukuyama, remembering that he had been doing his best to perform guard duties these days and hadn't slept well, Sakura couldn't help asking kindly:

"Why don't I stay here in the middle of the night? Go and have a rest."

"No need. I think it's better for you to go to sleep than to stay here."

"Huh?" Sakura didn't realize what Yumen's words meant for a while, was she mocking herself again?

"Because...your injury...doesn't matter?" I don't know if it's because of the whisper, but Yumen's low voice has a bit of tenderness.Unexpectedly, Yumen would take the initiative to care about herself, Xiao Sakura was a little at a loss, she quickly replied jokingly:

"Of course it doesn't matter. No matter how much you don't trust my ability, I'm still the disciple of that Tsunade Hime."

"That's good." In the darkness, I couldn't see the expression on Yumen's face, but I felt his voice seemed to be relieved: "It's good that you are fine. However, it's better for you to rest more. Good night."

"Oh..." She didn't expect to be cared by Yumen so kindly besides thanking her. Sakura felt awkward, she hurriedly replied "good night" and hurriedly fled the dark corridor .

"It's really not frank at all. You only thank me in the middle of the night when no one is around." When she returned to the room, she lay on the bed and thought ecstatically:

"Speaking of which, Yumen is really too much like the old Sasuke-kun. He just refuses to say clearly when he is very concerned about things; when performing tasks, he always keeps a straight face and makes his own decisions; he is obviously a kind person , when communicating with people, he is always full of thorns. But now, Sasuke-kun is much more mature and gentle, and he is willing to trust his companions. Maybe this is all due to Naruto? After all, the bond between the two of them It's very deep... I'm so envious of Naruto... How about introducing Naruto to Yumen when the mission is over and returning to the village? Personality?"

Trying to think about the picture of the two together, Sakura couldn't help but find it funny.She sank comfortably into the pillow, letting her thoughts run wild, and soon fell asleep again.

Early the next morning, Sakura changed into the white dress Miwa gave her, and was going downstairs to have breakfast.When she arrived at the dining room, Fukuyama and the others were already sitting around a dining table except Sasuke hadn't appeared yet.

"Sakura, good morning." Fukuyama greeted her cordially, then looked up and down at her new dress, and praised: "This dress really suits you, it reminds me of Tsunade Hime The style of youth."

"Thank you, Master Fukuyama, for your compliment. However, isn't there no difference between when Master was young and now?"

"Hahahaha, I was wrong. That is, you are as beautiful as Tsunade Hime in this dress."

"Although Tsunade-sama is very beautiful, Haruno wearing this dress is not only beautiful, but also has a spring atmosphere, very seasonal beauty." Ikeda also did not hold back his praise for Sakura's outfit, After some compliments, he turned his head and spoke to Yumen: "Yumen, look, doesn't this skirt on Xiaoying suit her very well?"

Yumen was lowering his head and wiping the kunai in his hands. Hearing Ikeda's question, he quickly raised his head and glanced at Sakura, then lowered his head again, and said casually, "It's not bad, it looks better than yesterday's cloak."

"Why do you keep mentioning the cloak? How much do you care about Sasuke-kun's cloak!?" Seeing that Yumen returned to his previous indifferent attitude, Sakura couldn't help complaining in her heart: "Don't tell me you didn't care about it last night?" Is that friendly attitude all my dreaming?"

Just as he was thinking, Sasuke came down the stairs, and Sakura hurried up to meet him, and handed him back the cloak: "Sasuke-kun, I already have a change of clothes, thank you for the cloak."

"Oh, okay." Sasuke took it and noticed the new skirt on Sakura: "It suits you very well."

Different from the feeling of being praised by others, a simple comment from Sasuke put Sakura in a good mood.She brushed her hair shyly, and replied nervously, "Thank you. But with such a dress, it's not very convenient to fight when the enemy is attacking."

"...Don't worry." Sasuke said calmly, "I'm here."

He said it so lightly, but it made Sakura feel familiar and moved.She knew very well that as long as Sasuke made such a promise, she could stand behind him with peace of mind and be well protected by him.However, this feeling of being protected was no longer what she wanted.She is no longer the old self, the Haruno Sakura who can only sit slumped on the ground and watch Sasuke being swallowed by the curse seal in order to protect herself.She wanted to fight side by side with Sasuke and be his support.

"It's okay, Sasuke-kun, although the clothes are a bit inconvenient, I can take care of myself." Sakura showed a confident smile and joked lightly: "If you want to dress beautifully during the mission, you have to pay the price." Yes."

At this time, Meihe brought the prepared breakfast to the table and greeted everyone to eat.Sasuke sat down at the table and put the cloak back on his body.

Thinking that she was still hugging it to sleep yesterday, as if she was hugging Sasuke indirectly, Sakura couldn't help but blush, afraid that everyone present would see her embarrassment.She lowered her head and took a mouthful of soba noodles in a panic.

"It's really delicious!" Sakura exclaimed, she didn't expect that the noodles in her mouth were full of strength, mixed with fresh quail eggs and soy sauce, the fragrance overflowed in her mouth, which made her whole body excited up.

Pointing at Meihe, Fukuyama proudly introduced: "Meihe's husband is the head chef in Hongzhicheng, and he has been cooking for our family for more than [-] years. Before, Meihe worked as a helper with her husband and learned how to cook well. Cooking skills. Although she runs the hotel alone now, her cooking skills have not regressed at all, and she is not inferior to the chefs used by nobles."

"I really miss it." Hearing Fukuyama's praise, Meihe sighed with a smile: "If Hiranosuke hadn't been born, I would still want to stay in Rainbow City and continue to work for Fukuyama's family with my husband. Where's the meal?"

"No wonder the breakfast you made is so delicious!" Sakura carefully inspected the sumptuous traditional breakfast in front of her eyes, including miso soup, pickled vegetables, grilled bonito, hot spring eggs and soy sauce bibimbap, served on exquisite tableware There, there is a whole table full, and it looks very appetizing.Looking at Sasuke again, he was concentrating on drinking the miso soup in the bowl, and there were already several empty plates in front of him, presumably he was very happy to have such a delicious and family-style dish in the morning.

"It seems that I should learn cooking seriously..." Sakura took another mouthful of soba noodles, and silently made a decision in her heart.

The author has something to say:

Sasuke: I eat dry food when I travel alone. I haven't had such a delicious breakfast for a long time.

Sakura: Sasuke-kun is so pitiful, let me travel with you and make you breakfast?

Sasuke: What will you do?

Sakura: Uh... Do you take Bingliangwan?

Sasuke: ... Isn't that still dry food...
