[Hokage] Thank you for loving me

It was night, and the Sixth Hokage Hatake Kakashi walked slowly towards the square in the center of Konoha Village under the moonlight.

Under the dark night, the bright moonlight illuminates the entire wide square, and the crowds playing here during the day have long since dispersed, leaving only a few mottled tree shadows and the aftertaste of the summer night wind.Under a big tree in the northeast corner of the square, three figures could be vaguely seen, either squatting or standing motionless.When they saw Kakashi approaching, the three changed their postures, facing the direction Kakashi was coming from, and stood up straight.

"Too slow, Kakashi-sensei." Naruto muttered dissatisfied. "You're late again."

Kakashi raised his eyes and glanced at Naruto. After working all day, he was so tired that he couldn't stand up straight, and he didn't bother to make excuses for being late, so he waved his hand feebly to express his apology.Then, he glanced at the three people in front of him, looked around again, and asked, "Has Sasuke arrived yet?"

"Yes." Sai folded his arms, and there was no fluctuating emotion in his clear black eyes. He calmly reported to Kakashi Hui: "According to the information from the enchantment class, he should have been killed half an hour ago. Entered the village. Maybe it's been too long since I went back to the village, so I got lost?"

"It's not Kakashi-sensei..." Naruto sneered.

"Maybe he's walking this way, looking for memories of the past..." Shikamaru guessed lazily with his back leaning against the big tree.He looked poised, with his shoulders drooping down, his body weight resting on the tree trunk behind him, and he looked as if he would close his eyes and fall asleep at any time.

"Ah? Then when his memories are over and he comes here to meet us, when will it be!? Hinata is still at home waiting for me to go back!"

Naruto's words were just blurted out, without the intention of showing off; but the other three singles heard him and felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help but cast accusing glances at him.

Feeling the displeasure of his companions, Naruto smiled "hehe", and reflected a little proudly: "Sorry, newly married, newly married."

Shikamaru gave him a look of "you are enough", and shook his head.And Sai took out the scroll that he carried with him, and asked Kakashi for instructions: "Why don't I send an eagle out to scout Sasuke's current location?" Saying that, he was about to use the secret technique Super beast fake painting.

At this time, a powerful Chakra breath suddenly appeared on the other side of the square, biting and cold, slowly moving towards the location of the four of them.Kakashi tugged at the mask on his face, the corners of his eyes curved slightly in joy, looked towards the shadow on the side of the square, and said, "It seems that there is no need to trouble you. He has already arrived."

The three of them followed Kakashi's gaze. A man in a black tunic, with long legs and even steps, came from the night and bathed in the moonlight.

"Hey! Sasuke! Welcome back!"

Naruto rushed out first, happily jumped in front of Sasuke, raised his hand, and passed his fist over.

Sasuke was slightly taken aback, then raised his fist, touched Naruto lightly, and said, "I'm back!" His black hair hung down, like thick ink splashed on his shoulders, reflected by the moonlight. With a perfect side face, the corners of his lips are slightly raised, and there is a warm smile on his face. This smile makes him look as handsome as a person in a painting, and Naruto is immediately taken aback.

Why is his skin so fair and delicate after wandering outside for so long?Why is it that someone who eats and sleeps outside grows so fast, almost catching up with me! ?Well, I have to admit, three years have passed, Sasuke still seems to be a little more handsome than me, well, he only beat me by a little bit.

Naruto came back to his senses, suddenly changed his face, and shouted unwillingly: "Where have you been for the past three years! Where are you living a comfortable life!?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Sasuke frowned and asked back, "Didn't you always know my whereabouts?"

Before Naruto could answer, he pointed at Sai and Shikamaru again, and asked with a serious face, "It's you and Kakashi, what happened!? Didn't I say, don't let extra people know that I'm going back to the village? "

"I belong to the seventh class with you anyway." Saii was not angry when he heard the questioning voice, but said with a calm smile: "Besides, I also helped you a lot when you were performing missions outside these years." Woolen cloth."

And Shikamaru didn't seem to hear Sasuke's words, and still looked like nothing to do with him, leaning leisurely on the tree trunk.

Kakashi coughed twice in embarrassment, stood up to smooth things over and said: "Shikamaru is now my exclusive staff officer, and he is preparing and arranging matters related to your return; and Sai is now your classmate, he He is a person who is good at keeping secrets. You can completely trust him. According to your request in the letter, only the four of us know about your return. As long as you don’t want the fifth person to know, then everyone here will I will keep this secret for you."

Sasuke pondered for a while, and reluctantly accepted Kakashi's words.He raised his eyes and asked, "So, what do you need me to do for you to call me back this time?"

Kakashi was stunned, looking at Sasuke with joy in his eyes, choked up and said: "Sasuke...you would ask me such a question...you have finally matured."

Sasuke glared at him, shook his hands and urged: "let's forget about the warm drama, and answer my question quickly."

"Actually, you just need to stay in the village for a while and don't go out for the time being." Kakashi thought for a while, and then added: "If you can, you try to act with me as much as possible. Maybe you will feel uncomfortable with such a statement. It sounds good, but only in this way can the daimyo be sure that you are completely loyal to Konoha and obedient to Hokage."

Sasuke sneered and said, "It's okay to act together with you. But as Hokage, you have to meet so many people every day. Don't forget, I don't want to reveal my whereabouts."

"Then put on Anbu's mask." Shikamaru suddenly stood up and walked over, suggesting.

"What do you mean?" Sasuke frowned. He didn't have much affection for this organization under the banner of "Hokage directly under the troop".

Shikamaru sensed his displeasure, and immediately explained: "Part of Anbu's mission is to protect the important people in the village. Sasuke, you put on a mask and pretend to be the guard that Anbu arranged around Kakashi. Anyway, those people, execute You never show your true face during missions, and once others ask, you will say that you are on a mission to protect Hokage. In this way, you can stay in the sight of Hokage-sama while also hiding your identity."

Naruto widened his eyes, let out a joyful "Oh—" and exclaimed: "As expected of Shikamaru, this idea is really great!"

Sai reminded from the side: "However, Sasuke's Chakra, and his left hand... Anyone who is familiar with him can recognize him even through a mask."

"This is very simple." Sasuke replied, while using the technique of transformation, Chakra instantly materialized into his left hand, which was connected to his body intact. "As for the Chakra breath, I can completely hide it. It should be normal for people in Anbu not to want to reveal their breath."

Shikamaru nodded in agreement, then turned to look at Kakashi, and pondered: "The only one left is Shizune-san... She is a thoughtful person, staying in your office with Sasuke at the same time, I'm afraid You will soon notice the clues..."

"For Shizune... Tsunade-sama will go on a long trip in a few days, so I can give her a period of time off and let her accompany Tsunade-sama to leave the village. Presumably, she will be happy to accept this arrangement."

"In this way, Sasuke can stay at Hokage's office with a new identity. Then please inform her, Mr. Hokage."

Kakashi rubbed his chin, muttered thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Shizune for two days, I don't know what happened to her..."

"It's not what happened to Ms. Shizune. I heard from Ino that it's Sakura..." Sai paused intentionally, and glanced at Sasuke, trying to catch a trace of emotion from his face, "She had a high fever this morning. He fell into a coma, and the fever persisted. Even if Tsunade-sama took action to treat it himself, there was no improvement. Until the evening, Tsunade-sama and Shizune-san stayed by Sakura's side, and finally controlled the body temperature within the range of low-grade fever."

To Saii's disappointment, until he finished talking about Sakura's current situation, Sasuke's face didn't show any ups and downs.On the contrary, Naruto asked nervously: "Really? Sakura has always been healthy, why did she suddenly have a high fever?"

"It seems that it's not because of her poor physical condition, but because of psychological reasons..."

"Psychological reason..." At the time when Sasuke returned to the village, combined with Sakura's strangeness before, Kakashi felt that he could roughly guess the reason for her illness.There is no way, for the only disciple who still respects me to recover as soon as possible, I can only prescribe the right medicine.He turned to Sasuke, pretending to be nonchalant and asked, "How is it, Sasuke, it sounds like Sakura is very ill, do you want to visit her?"

Sasuke raised his eyebrows, and refused without any hesitation: "I told you, I don't want to see anyone when I come back this time."

"Eh? Aren't you going?" Naruto was not surprised by Sasuke's cold reaction. He looked at Kakashi and said eagerly, "Then Kakashi-sensei, let's go. Go to the hospital to see Sakura!"

"Oh..." Kakashi agreed with Naruto, but his eyes stayed on Sasuke, with distressed emotions and reproach in his eyes.

"To discuss tomorrow's itinerary, the two of you discuss it slowly in private. Hurry up and take me to where I live." Sasuke turned around and jumped onto the tree beside Shikamaru, forcibly ending the conversation.

"Oh, oh, I'm still so willful." Kakashi looked up at Sasuke's figure and shook his head helplessly.Then, he told Shikamaru and Sai: "Then, Naruto and I will send Sasuke to rest first. Regarding his specific arrangements after returning to the village, let's discuss it in the office tomorrow."

The two nodded to him respectfully, used the instant body technique, and withdrew from the square.Naruto jumped to Sasuke's side, and asked with a smile: "How is it, it's rare to come back, do you want to eat something or have a drink?"

"...Didn't you say that Hinata is waiting for you at home?" Kakashi reminded kindly.

Naruto drooped his head all of a sudden, and said uninterestedly: "...well, I didn't say anything."

"Sure enough, he's still an idiot." Sasuke chuckled at Naruto, followed behind Kakashi, and jumped towards the woods on the north side of the square.

"Hey, I was busy all night yesterday, helping you clean up the new apartment! Is this how you treat your benefactor?" Naruto protested, chasing after the two figures, and disappeared into the night together .

On the hospital bed of Konoha Hospital, when Sakura slowly opened her eyes, Shizune was sitting on the chair beside the bed, flipping through the medical journals of the current season.

"Great, Sakura, you're finally awake!" She felt the patient on the bed move slightly, then stood up suddenly, leaned over and asked with concern:

"How do you feel? Can you talk?"

"...Senior Sister..." Sakura made a weak and hoarse voice, blinking vigorously, trying to get used to the harsh incandescent light on the ceiling. "How long have I been in a coma?"

"Five days and four nights."

How long has it been?Sakura struggled a bit, trying to sit up.Seeing this, Jing Yin quickly supported her back with one hand, took two pillows from the empty bunk next to her with the other hand, stuffed them behind her back, and then carefully moved her back, laying on a reclining bed. above.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?" Jing Yin asked.

"...I want to... drink some water." Sakura's throat was so dry that it was about to smoke, and every time she uttered a sound, she felt a dull pain.

Hearing this, Jing Yin quickly turned around and poured a glass of warm water, and handed it to Sakura.

"Thank you." A trace of sweetness moistened her throat, Xiao Ying finally had the confidence to speak, and she asked, "What's wrong with me?"

"When you appeared in the laboratory that morning, you suddenly developed a high fever. I wanted to cool you down, but found that you, like Xiao Xing, had a high fever caused by psychological reasons, and my medical ninjutsu couldn't work at all. So I had no choice but to invite Master and Dr. Iwasaki, and together with them, it took three full days to completely reduce your fever. During this period, you have been in a coma until just now."

"...Psychological reasons...? Like Xiaoxing...?"

"Yes. Medication and physical therapy are useless, and it frightens us all." Jing Yin said with lingering fear.

Sakura looked at the tired face in front of her, and guessed that Shizune hadn't had a good rest for a few days in order to take care of herself.Feeling both sad and guilty, she said, "I'm sorry, Senior Sister, I made you worry. Have you been staying here for the past few days?

Jing Yin shook her head, and replied: "Your mother was here two days ago, but later I saw that she was really tired and haggard, so I asked her to go back to rest, and let me stay and take care of you."

It turned out that my mother also came to the hospital to take care of me all night... Unexpectedly, losing control of my emotions for a while not only made me sick, but also brought so many troubles to the people who cared about me.Sakura lowered her head, her nose turned sour, and the circles of her eyes were red again.

Jing Yin quickly put her arms around her shoulders tenderly, and comforted her softly: "Don't be sad. Your body and mood recovered after a long time, so don't be sad anymore."

As early as the first day, Shizune actually guessed what was the psychological cause of Sakura's fever and coma.What made her angry was that when Kakashi was visiting his doctor, he suddenly mentioned that he planned to give himself a vacation.This sudden vacation made her vaguely aware that it was because of the cause of Sakura's illness this time - Sasuke Uchiha had returned to the village.The person involved had already returned to the village, and the person on the bed was so sick, Sasuke never paid a single glance to Sakura, and even asked someone to convey a word of condolences!Shizune felt sorry for Sakura from the bottom of her heart. When Sasuke was admitted to the hospital twice, Sakura stayed by his side all day and all night.Now that Sakura is sick like this, even if she is not a lover, but just an ordinary companion, she should come to see her when she is in critical condition with high fever, right?Anyway, let's repay Sakura's kindness for taking care of him in the past!

Thinking of this, Shizune only felt annoyed, but at the moment, she couldn't face Sakura with negative emotions.So, she decided to talk about some light topics to divert the attention of Sakura and herself.

Jing Yin pointed to the dazzling array of gifts on the table, pulled herself together, and said to Sakura with a smile: "Look, these are gifts that everyone brought when they came to visit you."

"This bouquet was brought by Ino, and she mated it for you in her own flower shop."

"This picture of cherry blossoms was drawn by Sai. He said he hoped you will recover soon."

"This large box of nutritious food...is sent by Naruto and Kakashi..." Keke, this kind of intention is very good, but as a doctor, neither she nor Sakura will eat this kind of cheating money of something.

"There is also this big jar of thousand paper cranes, which the children in the consultation room folded for you."

The expression on Sakura's face gradually became more relaxed and gentle with the silent voice.When she saw the thousand origami cranes of various colors and sizes in the glass jar by the bedside, a smile finally appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Jing Yin took her expression into her eyes, lost no time to lean into her ear, and pretended to be mysterious and said: "There is one more thing, you must like it."

"what?"

Shizune stood up and opened the door of the freezer in the corner of the room. There were several well-packaged desserts inside. Sakura recognized it at a glance. It was the iced honey bean ball soup that Xiaoxing and the others had eaten before.

"This... who sent it?"

"This is from Kyonosuke's master, Yumen-kun. A few days ago, he accompanied Brother Sugishita to visit you. Xiaoxing accidentally said that if you can eat your beloved dessert after waking up, you will be very happy." He recovered quickly. As a result, he delivered a copy of this the next day. Since you haven’t woken up for the past few days, and this kind of food must be eaten fresh that day, he went to that store every afternoon to help you out Bring a dessert." After she finished speaking, she winked at Sakura and asked, "How is it, are you very touched?"

Sakura stared blankly at Jing Yin, not knowing how to answer for a while.In her memory, Yumen, who was not good at words and always showed her face, would never do such a pleasing thing; she couldn't understand why Yumen had to be so kind to herself, so good It moved her very much, and made her feel... this kind of heart... a little beyond the boundaries of companions...

"Want something to eat?" Jingyin took out a bowl of meatball soup from the freezer, held it in front of Sakura, and asked, "Or, do you have no appetite now?"

"No, I want to eat." Sakura replied without hesitation.

So Shizune rummaged through the bag for a clean spoon and handed it to Sakura.

Sakura lowered her head and put the balls into her mouth one by one.Such sweet meatballs, after eating them, made her feel so bitter that she wanted to cry because of the feelings of Shizune, Yumen and others.

The road of unrequited love for ten years not only hurt himself, but also hurt the people around him.She turned a blind eye to others' kindness to her, and she wanted to pursue a figure that could not stay for her.Whether it's Naruto, Xiao Li or other people who liked her, they all gave like her without regret, and tried their best to treat her well, but in the end they couldn't get her gaze back for a moment.Perhaps, Sasuke's refusal was God's punishment for trampling on other people's wishes.

At the moment of fever and coma, her mind kept flashing the scene of being hurt by Sasuke's indifference, crying, and then she chased him again.She is sincerely tired of such a cyclical drama...

I have to give up my obsession and take a new step.

This is also the result Sasuke would like to see the most...

Sakura stopped the spoon in her hand, raised her head, and asked Jingyin, "Senior Sister, have you shown the potion we made before to Master?"

Jing Yin shook her head, "You suddenly fell into a coma that morning, and everyone was in a mess, so I temporarily put those medicines on hold."

She bit her lower lip tightly, made great determination, and said, "Then, let me be the experimenter, and give me the medicine?"

"What?" Jing Yin looked at her incredulously, and asked again: "What are you talking about?"

"I want to... erase my memory of liking Sasuke."
