[Hokage] Thank you for loving me

Hearing that Sakura took the initiative to say that she wanted to get out of this relationship, Shizune felt unspeakably joyful and excited, wishing to hold Sakura's hand tightly, shake it three times, and sigh heavily: "It's not easy! I finally got you This day of awakening!" However, such a blatant denial of Sakura's secret love history will only make her more disappointed, so forget it.

Jing Yin swallowed nervously, and asked, "Is your decision impulsive, or have you considered it carefully?"

"...Senior Sister, I'm serious." Sakura gently placed the empty bowl in her hand on the bedside table, lay back on the pillow, looked at the ceiling, and recalled without a trace of confusion: "From the Kingdom of the Rainbow In the three months since I came back, I have thought a lot about liking Sasuke. Originally, I planned, since he doesn’t want me to think about him and see him again, then I will secretly like him. It’s a big deal in this life I kept this feeling in my heart. But after this incident, I realized that my obsession not only failed to bring happiness to anyone, but hurt too many people, and brought so much to everyone. trouble……"

The figures of Naruto, Kakashi, Tsunade and others flashed in her mind, she couldn't help but clenched the sheets under her body, and repented heavily: "The best choice is only if I let go completely. But, In the past ten years of relationship, I can't just give up. So, I can only use this medicine..."

Jing Yin folded her hands, gently covering her clenched left fist, and comforted softly: "Fool, no one blames you. Now that you have thought it through clearly, then try this method."

Seeing that Jingyin understood her feelings so well and was willing to support her decision, Sakura happily said, "Thank you, Senior Sister!"

Jing Yin patted Sakura's head affectionately, and reminded: "That medicine needs to be combined with illusion to take effect."

"I know." When it was first produced, in order to reduce the possibility of drug addiction, Shizune and Sakura improved the original formula into an auxiliary medicine for illusion.That is to say, the user needs to use illusion to give the user a psychological hint first, and then rely on the efficacy of the medicine to engrave this psychological hint into the user's brain to completely tamper with his emotional memory.

"So, what hint do you want me to give you?"

"Erasure all the emotional memories of liking Sasuke in my memory, leaving only the memories of ordinary companions." Sakura took a deep breath and added:

"Also, please hint to me that I will never fall in love with him again in the future!"

Shizune didn't expect Sakura's decision to be so resolute. She was surprised for a few seconds before agreeing: "Well... this method sounds good. If you suddenly forget about Sasuke, others will definitely become suspicious .But if it’s just to erase the relevant memory that you liked him, he doesn’t care anyway, so it doesn’t matter.”

"Yes." Sakura laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, "Even if someone really doubts it, I can explain that it's burnt out."

Jing Yin couldn't help smiling, and at the end, she whispered melancholy: "Maybe, by then, you won't even have the memory of taking medicine for him this time..." After all, the concept of psychological suggestion is very vague and cannot be accurately defined. To erase a specific memory of when and where, one can only erase the relevant memory content based on hints.

"It doesn't matter." Xiao Sakura said calmly: "After all, the two of us jointly developed this medicine. To what extent it can work, I can do the experiment myself. It's perfect."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Jing Yin sighed secretly, and finally confirmed: "You really don't regret it?"

This time, there was no answer, but Sakura's calm eyes said everything.

"...Okay, then wait, I'll get the medicine." After speaking, Jing Yin turned and walked out of the ward.

Xiao Ying was left alone on the hospital bed, she slowly closed her eyes, feeling a little relieved.

In a few more minutes, she will lose the fondest emotional memories of her childhood and youth.Those sweet and bitter secret love experiences couldn't be more precious, but unfortunately, she had to say goodbye to them.

Because... the protagonist in the memory repeatedly warned her to give up quickly, give up quickly.She couldn't follow his words and control her feelings freely.I can only choose this way to end.

Giving up the memory of unrequited love is equivalent to denying the past self, which is the worst decision.But maybe, it is also the only choice I can make right now...

When Shizune walked in, she found that Sakura was meditating with her eyes closed.She couldn't bear to disturb her, so she walked lightly to the bed and sat quietly on the chair.When Sakura opened her eyes on her own, she handed over the medicine tube in her hand.

Sakura didn't even look at the potion in the tube, she took it and immediately drained it, and then put the empty tube on the bedside table.She moved her body slightly, and after adjusting to a suitable and comfortable posture, she silently stared at Shizune's eyes, waiting for her to cast an illusion on herself.

Seeing Sakura's calm look, Shizune became a little nervous instead.She swallowed hard and asked, "So, I started?"

Xiao Sakura nodded lightly, staring at Jing Yin's pupils, letting her consciousness be drawn by those dark eyes, and gradually slackened.

"...Senior Sister... I need to rely on medicine to forget Sasuke, am I very cowardly...?" She finally asked aloud before she was about to lose consciousness.

"...No, it's not cowardice. You're just...too stubborn, too stubborn...to be good at giving up." I don't know if Sakura can still hear this answer, Shizune patted her head, Distressed looking at her who had fallen asleep.

Yes, Sakura is stubborn and stubborn, very similar to Tsunade's character, she has tenacity in her bones, and she will never give up on what she is sure of, no matter how much blood, sweat and pain she endures.This is also what she envied Xiaoying, because there are not many people in the world who are so stubborn; and only such people can practice the Baihao secret technique and have eternal youth.But now, for Sakura, the beauty of youth may have ended early with the end of her relationship.

"Rest well, when you wake up, there will be a brand new life waiting for you."

Jing Yin turned off the light, quietly closed the door behind him, and left the ward.

On the third day after Sakura's recovery, Shizune accompanied Tsunade on a remote tour. At the same time, Uchiha Sasuke also officially entered the Hokage office.

Early in the morning, Naruto couldn't wait to come to Kakashi's office to visit Sasuke.He pushed open the door, and saw Sasuke wearing a white mask with fox red pattern, black tights and white suspenders, and carrying a slender sword, standing next to Kakashi's desk, just like a The appearance of an unknown Anbe member.

"Hey, Sasuke, how does it feel to be here?" Naruto leaned to Sasuke with a smile, put his hand on his shoulder, and asked jokingly.

Sasuke helped Kakashi organize the documents on the table, and replied without raising his head: "I've only been here for an hour, and I don't have any impressions. Also, when I dress up like this in the future, don't call me Sasuke, so that I There's no point in hiding your identity."

"Then what should I call you?"

"..." Sasuke just casually corrected Naruto's title problem just now, but he didn't really think about taking a new title seriously.

"How about Ita?" Kakashi thought of Itachi, who was also a member of Anbu.Since Sasuke also stayed in the village as Anbe this time, why not take his brother's name as a code name, which is also a kind of commemoration.

Sasuke was taken aback for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "Is it the code name given by Hokage? This is really an honor. Then I will accept it bluntly."

Kakashi waved his hand embarrassingly, "It's fine if you like it, and it's better not to tease me."

"Ahem, Ita." Naruto tried to put on a serious face, and tried to call Sasuke by a new name. "Didn't you come to be Kakashi-sensei's guard? Why are you still fiddling with a lot of documents here?" He picked up the cover of the top page of the document, held it up in front of his eyes, and saw that it read "Wood Ye Village's Annual Budget Statement", and put it back in its original place without interest.

"You have to ask Kakashi." Due to the perennial address habit, even if Kakashi became Hokage, Sasuke didn't bother to add honorifics for him; fortunately, Kakashi is not a stingy person, so Sasuke called him by his first name.

Receiving Naruto's suspicious gaze, Kakashi sat on the office chair, shrugged his shoulders, and replied: "No way, although Shizune has left, these business affairs are piled up here, and they still have to be dealt with. Besides, I also It's not that I really need to be protected by Zuo...to be protected by Yitai, he's idle too, why don't you help me with some work."

"You're not angry when he instigates you like this!?" Naruto smashed his tongue and looked at Sasuke in surprise.

"I think what Kakashi said is quite right, and it's okay to help him." Sasuke replied lightly.Rather than standing blankly behind Kakashi, pretending to be a guard; he would rather contribute more to the affairs of the village.What's more, with access to these official affairs, he also has the opportunity to learn about the current high-level attitude towards the Uchiha clan, as well as the reconstruction progress of the police department.

"You in the past were never so easy to be persuaded." Naruto recalled Sasuke's cold and selfish appearance before, and looked at him standing in front of him now, and sighed: "Unexpectedly, I can finally be like this, in the village with you, and serve Konoha. The only dream I have left that has not been fulfilled is to be Hokage..."

"That's called Kakashi, let me give it to you." Sasuke was not interested in hearing Naruto talk about his dreams, and blocked his next words coldly.

Kakashi half-closed his eyes, scratched his head, and smiled awkwardly: "Oh, Naruto, wait a little longer, hurry up, hurry up."

Naruto also smiled embarrassedly, and politely replied: "It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Kakashi, I'm not in a hurry."

Sasuke couldn't help giving them a blank look, but the work in hand didn't stop. When he saw the work report submitted by Konoha Hospital, he suddenly remembered something, raised his eyes and told Naruto:

"Hey, Naruto, about my return, remember, you must never tell Sakura."

"Huh? Why? Why on earth do you not want others to know that you are back?"

"Anyway, I don't want to... face some people from the past..." Although he is also one of the six disciples who unlocked the infinite moon reading, the mistakes he made and the harm he caused to the people in the village are beyond recognition. A deep guilt branded his heart.If he could, he didn't want to have too many contacts with those people in the village before he untied his knot.

Seeing that Sasuke didn't want to go into details, Naruto didn't force him. He asked, "What about Sakura? She's a member of class [-]. Since Sasuke can know, why did you deliberately hide it from her?"

"...If she knows that I'm back, she will definitely try her best to come to see me. Meeting now will only cause unnecessary trouble, so I don't really want to see her."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Naruto felt that Sasuke had said so much, as if he hadn't said it, and he didn't understand it at all.

Sasuke sighed, and briefly described to Naruto and Kakashi what happened in the Rainbow Country.

After Kakashi listened intently, he was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Although Sakura didn't leave the village, I'm very happy. But, why did you reject her again?"

Sasuke frowned, and explained in a cold voice: "After the reunion in Rainbow Country, I realized that I can't like her at all, not now, and I won't be able to in the future. But she is indeed very important to me. Therefore, for her own good, I can only refuse her like this, and it is best not to see her again in the future..."

Naruto stomped his feet in anger at Sasuke's seemingly thoughtful, yet extremely cruel remarks, and he shouted, "You bastard, why do you still feel so good about yourself!? How could Sakura love you so desperately!"

Kakashi also felt sorry for Sakura's feelings from the bottom of his heart, and he asked: "You let her stop thinking about it, is it really for her? Are you sure, this is what she wants?"

Sasuke sneered, and replied in a deep voice: "When people can't get something, they will be obsessed with it. Due to the existence of this obsession, the person concerned cannot distinguish right from wrong. Therefore, What she thinks she can't let go of may not be what she really wants."

Kakashi tried his best to defend: "...Maybe, Sakura just simply wants to be by your side, and she doesn't necessarily want to get you or restrict you?"

"No matter what, I don't need love, and I don't need anyone to accompany me. The longer she is separated from me, the easier it is for her to forget me. This is definitely the best ending for her."

Naruto stared at Sasuke with rounded eyes, he didn't expect that the first time he talked about feelings in front of him, it was such an arbitrary statement.

"Sasuke...you bastard...you're still so withdrawn..."

"Oh..." Kakashi glanced at the group photo of Class Seven on the table, not wanting to continue discussing this unsolvable topic.Frustrated, he said to Sasuke, "Okay, we'll keep it a secret for you."

After finishing his visit to Sasuke, Naruto left Hokage's office, ready to start a new day of tasks.Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned to the first fork in the road, he ran into Sakura who was going to the hospital.

"Eh? Hi... Sakura!" Seeing Sakura's face, Naruto's words just now echoed in Naruto's ears, and he couldn't help feeling inexplicably nervous.

"Good morning, Naruto." Sakura smiled brightly, as if she was in a good mood. "long time no see."

"...I just saw you a few days ago..." Naruto replied, "But you fainted, you just don't know."

"Hahaha, thank you for visiting me." Sakura remembered the sympathy Naruto sent when she had a fever, and said gratefully: "Thanks to everyone, I have recovered."

She paused for half a second, as if she remembered something, and then asked: "I heard that Sasuke-kun is coming back, do you know when it is?"

"Eh!?" Naruto was startled at first, and then asked calmly, "You... how do you know that he's coming back?"
