[Hokage] Thank you for loving me

Just when the conversation between Yumen and Sasuke was deadlocked, a voice interrupted.

"Why is it so late, you two still haven't rested? Could it be that you are admiring the moon together?"

Ikeda turned over and jumped out of the skylight, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and sighed: "Well, it is very big and round, it is indeed worth wasting sleep time, and appreciate it."

Before Sasuke could make a statement, he was interrupted. Yumen glanced at Ikeda angrily. As a graduate of the ninja school at the same time, he still hasn't figured out whether Ikeda is really crazy, or deliberately using this inappropriate It's fun to make fun of it.

"I'm not in the mood anymore." After dropping these words coldly, Yumen disappeared on the spot.

"Hey, so it's a fen body? Could it be that the main body is still guarding Mr. Fukuyama?" Ikeda asked Sasuke in surprise, "Why didn't Yumen suddenly stop watching the moon again? Could it be because I disturbed his family?" interest?"

"...I think, no."

"Oh, I really don't understand him." Ikeda shook his head helplessly, and chatted with Sasuke again: "Speaking of the moon, do you know, Uchiha-kun? In fact, the moon was made by Sage of the Six Paths to seal the body of the ten tails Yes, it is said that it uses a pupil technique unique to the reincarnation eyes of the Uchiha family. That is to say, if you can master the reincarnation eyes, you will have the ability to transform nature like a sage. When I was young, I felt that the Six Paths Sage Ah, ten tails, etc., are all stories in legends, but after seeing your samsara eyes, I think it’s amazing that the pupil technique in the legends actually exists! Uchiha-kun, your samsara eyes can resemble Did the Sages of the Six Paths make the moon or the stars like that?"

"... If there is nothing else, I'll go back first." Sasuke ignored Ikeda's chatter because his mind was full of what Mimon said just now.Just as he turned to leave, Ikeda grabbed his cloak abruptly.

"Hey, don't be in a hurry to leave! Actually, I have other things I want to talk to Uchiha-kun."

"……what?"

"Well, before Uchiha-kun, Haruno...was a partner, right? Well, what kind of person was Haruno when he was a child?" Finally mustering up the courage to inquire about Sakura, Ikeda felt that he had taken a step on the road of love. A very important step, but completely unaware that he asked the wrong person.

"..." Sasuke was stunned for a few seconds before replying with a complicated expression: "She is...a warm person."

Yes, in his vague impression, when he was a child, Haruno Sakura was very serious and obedient, occasionally yelled at Naruto, shed tears easily, often followed behind him talking to himself, and liked to say "Sasuke-kun That's right", and, always taking care of himself gently and patiently - recalling the past, Sasuke felt a little guilty, he didn't want to think about it, shook his body a little, and left the roof.

"Warm? Is it that simple?" Ikeda still wanted to hold Sasuke to ask for other information, but he couldn't keep up with the speed of the other party's actions. When he recovered, the cloak he was holding in his hand had disappeared.

"Really, why don't you all want to have a good chat with me? What about watching the moon together?" Ikeda lamented innocently, but unfortunately no one could answer him, leaving only his lonely figure and The scattered moonlight...

In the morning, when the first ray of sunlight entered the room, Sakura had already slowly woken up.She stretched comfortably, rubbed her eyes a little, lifted her disheveled bangs, and pulled the alarm clock by the bed to see that it was still very early.

"I don't know if Sasuke-kun is awake?" Sakura tried to sense the Chakra in the next room, but couldn't sense anything: "Did Sasuke-kun hide Chakra on purpose? Or did he wake up and go out? "

Guessing that Sasuke might be walking in the garden, Sakura felt that this might be a good opportunity to talk to him alone, she immediately got out of bed, tidied her hair briefly, changed into the same white dress from yesterday, and went out.

Because it was still early, there were only a small group of patrolling samurai in the spacious Rainbow City courtyard, a few gardeners who were tending the flower beds, and some servants who woke up early to wash up. The youthful and energetic Sakura walked alone among these people, It seemed a bit out of place, attracting people in the yard to secretly look at it from time to time.Scanned by these curious eyes, Sakura wanted to escape uncomfortably, so she gradually moved away from the promenade and walked towards the back of the garden.There is a long gentle slope at the back of the Daming Pavilion, on which layers of neat stone stairs wind up, leading to a hidden grove at the top of the slope.

"Sasuke-kun likes to stay in a place with few people, maybe he is in the woods." Thinking like this, Sakura climbed up the gentle slope and walked into the green forest.Desperate to find the trace of Sasuke, Sakura quickly passed through the entire forest without any gains along the way.But after walking out of the woods, the vision in front of her eyes suddenly widened. In front of Sakura, she saw a clear and bright pond like a mirror and a cherry blossom tree standing alone on the other side of the pond and blooming in full bloom.

This cherry blossom tree is very tall, like a forest of single trees, the crown is almost level with the castle roof in front, the branches are long and thick, covered by layers of cherry blossom clusters.Different from the pink flowers that you usually see, the cherry blossoms on this tree are white and transparent. From a distance, they look like fluffy cotton balls hanging on the tree.When the morning breeze blows, the petals, which are as thin as cicada wings and transparent as veils, dance with the wind, and after a few weeks of rotation, they gently fall on the surface of the pool, as if water droplets have melted into the water.

"A strange cherry blossom tree." Unexpectedly seeing such a scene in a hidden corner of the courtyard, Sakura couldn't help but marvel: "These petals are just like... just like..."

"It's like the tears scattered by this tree, isn't it?" Fukuyama Shinryu suddenly appeared next to Sakura, and spoke in his somewhat frivolous tone.

Because she had already sensed that someone was approaching, Sakura was not intimidated by Xinliu's words, she replied with a smile: "Well, although it is a bit sad to describe them like this, the petals floating down from this tree are indeed like It’s like tears falling down. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a big cherry blossom tree, and these transparent cherry blossom petals.”

"This tree is called 'Sakura of Departure', and it is hundreds of years old. Every three years, Rainbow City will specially hold a 'Blossom Festival' for this tree, and open the city gate to let the people come in and enjoy the tree. Flowers. This year's 'Blossom Blossom Festival' happens to be the enthronement ceremony of my father, so it must be very lively."

"Appreciate flowers once every three years?"

"Yes, because this tree blooms only once in three years, and each flowering period is very short, only between two spring rains. When the first spring rain falls, the tree will be full of transparent petals; wait until the second spring rain falls. When the second spring rain comes, these petals will be mixed with the raindrops and fall into the pool."

"Hey, what a romantic feeling."

"In addition, behind this tree, there is a sad and romantic legend."

"What legend?" Sakura, who has always had little resistance to romantic stories, immediately asked curiously.

"A long time ago, a samurai from the Kingdom of Rainbow left with his daimyo, and there was no news of him. Three years had passed since the war ended, and the wife who was waiting for news of her husband had to believe that her husband had died long ago. On the battlefield. So she came to this tree and cried bitterly. The overflowing tears made the cherry blossoms bloom all over the tree in an instant. The wife did not eat or drink, and cried for seven days and seven nights until she died. When her tears When it stopped, the cherry blossoms all over the tree also drifted away."

"Oh, it's such a sad and beautiful story..." Xiao Sakura looked at the cherry blossom tree across the pond and sighed deeply.

"I don't know if someone will cry for me when I leave my hometown and stay in the Land of Fire..." Xin Liu suddenly changed his tone of speech before, and said with emotion in a daze.

"Master Fukuyama, madam and your elder brother will not let go, right?"

"Because they are superfluous people, they will be sent as hostages... Who would be reluctant?"

"what?"

"Just kidding, if there are beautiful ninjas like Sakura everywhere in Konoha, I really want to start a family there." Xin Liu changed the subject and completely returned to her original frivolous appearance.

"...Thank you for the compliment. In fact, the capital of the Land of Fire is very lively and prosperous, and you won't be lonely when you go there."

"Yes, I can finally get rid of my nagging mother and elder brother, and I can play around to my heart's content." Xin Liu stretched her arms as if trying to break free from something, and then said to Sakura with a smile: "Let's go, mother I ordered you to have breakfast with me, now go back, the time is just right.

"Okay, then please." Sakura promised, while turning her head to look at the cherry blossom tree——

"The departing Sakura? I waited for Sasuke-kun before, and it was three years later and another three years... Fortunately, I have waited now."

Thinking about Sasuke, a happy smile appeared on the corner of Sakura's mouth.

In the daimyo's office on the top floor of the castle, Yumon, who guarded Fukuyama all night, was standing in front of the window, quietly watching everything beside the cherry blossom tree.

He couldn't hear the conversation between the two, but he didn't want to use lip reading to spy on the content of other people's chats. Yumen didn't know why he stood in front of the window until he watched Sakura's figure disappear into the woods.He thought of the conversation with Sasuke last night, and felt that he was a little nosy; but seeing Sakura standing alone by the pond just now, he felt a little relieved, thankful that he had advised Sasuke to stay away from her last night.

"Yumen, what are you looking at?" After staying up all night and finally signing all the backlog of documents, Fukuyama also came to the window, wanting to breathe some fresh air: "Are you looking at the departing cherry blossoms?"

"The departing sakura?"

"The name of the transparent cherry blossom tree below, this tree is quite a tree with a story." Fukuyama enthusiastically told Yumen the poignant and beautiful story about cherry blossoms.

"It's really an ominous tree." Yumen frowned.

"Shouldn't it be romantic? People in the Rainbow Kingdom are very romantic, and everyone loves this tree deeply."

"Romantic like you?"

"Hahaha, Yumen, you can joke." Fukuyama patted Yumen's shoulder lovingly, and said, "You are tired after guarding me all night, let's go have breakfast."

The author has something to say:

Sakura: I really like those romantic stories!Haruno Sakura, this whole life is born for love!

Sasuke:  …

Sakura: Not only did I match Hinata and Naruto, I also matched Ino and Sai, hey, Sasuke-kun, why did you leave?Listen to me.

Naruto: ...It is said that people who often match others will not have a good marriage...

Sakura: ...Hehe, Naruto, come here...

Naruto: Huh?Why?I'm just relaying the rumors I heard...Wow...Leave me alone, Sakura!
