[Hokage] Thank you for loving me

Next to the boulevard, after having dinner with Yumen, Sakura thought that he still had work to do in the afternoon, and wanted to do other things on the spot; He was sent back to the hospital.

Before she lost her memory, Sakura only had Sasuke in her heart, and she was more cautious in her dealings with other men, and she had always been superficial.She never ate alone with a male other than a member of the seventh shift; and rarely did she walk back to the hospital in the afternoon with a male chaperone.

Therefore, when Yumen sent her to the entrance of the hospital, the colleagues who happened to have lunch also returned to work one after another.Everyone passed the gate of the hospital and saw that Haruno Sakura was sent back by men other than Hokage and Uzumaki Naruto during the lunch break. They all looked sideways at the person involved, casting curious or envious eyes .

It was the first time for Yumen to be surrounded by gossip like this, and he felt a little embarrassed; but Sakura herself didn't realize that there was anything wrong.

From her point of view, who has lost her memory, she is a young woman who is of marriageable age, has zero love experience, and has never loved anyone for some reason. It is normal for her to have proper contact with high-quality opposite sex .What's more, the other party was once his companion, and also a kind person who helped take care of the two orphans in the psychological consultation room.

So, she stood at the door of the hospital generously, bid farewell to Yumen tenderly, and told him to be more careful when going out on missions.

Going out to eat, sending her back to the hospital, and the caring greetings at the farewell, no matter how you look at it, the process of getting along with her today is very similar to the relationship between lovers.Realizing this, Mimon's cheeks involuntarily burned so badly that it blushed a lot.Fortunately, he had a dark complexion like wheat, and Sakura didn't notice the strangeness on his face at all. After saying "take care", she turned and walked back into the building.

There is no consultation or surgery arrangement, so the work in the afternoon is relatively easy for Sakura.While sorting out and supplementing the cases of recent patients, she raised her eyes and looked at the clock on the wall, planning to go to the psychological consultation room to see Xiaoxing when she got off work at six o'clock, and stay there with him by the way have dinner.

Around five o'clock, Ino came to visit Sakura's office.As usual, she didn't knock on the door, just pushed the door open and entered.Sakura was busy writing medical records, when she heard the sound of Ino entering the door, she raised her head casually, greeted her with a simple "please sit down", then lowered her head and continued writing.

Ino smiled without hesitation, and replied, "You go ahead and leave me alone."

She deftly walked around Sakura, took out a paper cup from the cabinet behind her, and poured herself a glass of water.Then, while gulping down the water, she moved a chair and placed it next to Sakura, and sat down next to her.

Although he casually said to Sakura in advance, "You are busy first", Ino Mamoru stayed beside her for a while, keeping quiet for at most 3 minutes, and then couldn't hold back any longer.

She slowly moved closer to Sakura, and suddenly asked for no reason: "How is the progress of what I told you a while ago?"

Sakura stopped the pen in her hand, and asked without a clue: "What is it?"

"It's just for you to have a meal or a date with a man other than Sasuke! Why, didn't you take my suggestion to heart at all?" From a good colleague, I heard about Sakura going out to eat with a certain Jonin at noon.Of course, she wanted to hear such heavy love news from her friends, so she pulled out what she had said before, eagerly wanting to use Sakura's words.

"Oh...that! I just had lunch with my partner from the previous mission, Yumen, at noon today." Sakura smiled calmly, "However, that's not really a date." After she finished speaking, she crooked Tilting his head, he wondered: What does this have to do with Sasuke-kun?Why did Ino specifically mention his name?

"Isn't this very good, Sakura! Accumulate a few more times of this kind of communication experience, and when Sasuke comes back, he will definitely be surprised."

Wait, why did Ino mention Sasuke-kun's name again?Sakura frowned slightly, and asked in confusion, "Why did you surprise him? Is there a surprise welcome party?"

Ino gave a "poof" laugh, gently pushed Sakura's shoulder, and replied, "Your joke is not bad." Then he said seriously: "There is nothing better than showing enough feminine power on a date." , It's easier to catch a man's heart. If you have a lot of dating experience, when he comes back, when the two of you are dating, he will be easily fascinated by you."

"Why did Sasuke-kun want to date me?" Sakura put down the pen in her hand, put on a serious expression, and explained to Ino: "He hasn't returned to the village yet; besides, we are just companions, and it's okay to act alone occasionally , Dating or something, it's simply impossible."

Ino froze in place, gradually, she noticed that something was wrong with Sakura.

From just now, Sakura's answer was very strange, and she kept avoiding the answer about Sasuke.Could it be that Sasuke never came back, Sakura couldn't wait any longer, and finally gave up on him by default?No, it's impossible, Sakura is definitely not a person with this personality!Her temper is so stubborn, even if she gives up, she will definitely not adopt this way of self-evasion, going around in circles with others in conversation, pretending to be confused and denying it.

"Sakura, what are you talking about? Don't you...don't like Sasuke?" Ino asked cautiously with a reminding tone.

"I like it. We are companions who have experienced many battles and difficulties together, of course I like him!" Sakura's eyes flashed with incomparable sincerity and honesty, "And Naruto, Mr. Kakashi, I also like him very much .”

"It's not that kind of liking. Haven't you been in love with him unrequitedly? Have you forgotten?" Ino waved his hand, feeling that the conversation with Sakura was getting chaotic, and asked quickly to clarify the topic.

"What are you talking about? How could I like Sasuke-kun? I have been with you for so long, if you want to like him, you have already liked him."

But you did fall in love with him since you were a child!Ino couldn't help but patted his forehead heavily, trying to wake himself up from this muddled conversation.But I heard Sakura say again;

"Sasuke-kun is very handsome and reliable, but he is such an excellent person, how could he like me; and his personality is so cold and selfish, which is not my type, what I like is..."

Huh?What type of person do I like?Xiao Sakura suddenly found that she had no concept of love object and type in her mind, as if as long as the memory content related to love was blank.She shook her head, trying to find something in her mind, but she couldn't think of anything, and she couldn't express any views on love.

Seeing that the other party interrupted the reply, Ino showed a confused face, and suddenly remembered the high fever a few days ago.So, she wondered, maybe Sakura burned so badly that her memory went wrong?She quickly reached out and touched Sakura's forehead, and asked worriedly:

"Is your last illness completely cured?"

"Of course." Sakura glanced at the hand on her forehead, and said with a chuckle, "Are you questioning my body's ability to recover?"

"No. I'm worried that your high fever caused other symptoms, and you didn't realize it..."

"How is it possible!? When I was discharged from the hospital, Master and Senior Sister Jing Yin had already checked me thoroughly."

Ino withdrew his hand, lowered his head and muttered: If there is a memory problem, Tsunade-sama may not be able to check it out.Perhaps, I should use the technique of turning my heart to peek at what is in Sakura's mind right now?No, no, unless it is absolutely necessary, you must never check other people's memories without authorization and invade other people's privacy.

Ino sighed helplessly, and decided to test the extent of Sakura's memory loss.She straightened Xiao Ying's body, facing herself, then looked into her green eyes, and asked:

"...Do you still remember, when we were young, we quarreled over Sasuke?"

"The two of us quarreled when we were young? Wasn't it because of the quarrel that the husband who will marry in the future will be better? What's the matter with Sasuke-kun?"

... What a reason to quarrel! ?Even children wouldn't argue about such ridiculous content!What's more, this kind of thing, even if the war of words is won, it will not have any practical impact on the future.

"Then do you still remember that when Sasuke left the village, you cried and begged Naruto to find him no matter what?"

"Remember, because we are each other's most important companions, how could Naruto and I just watch him fall into the dark revenge trap."

...Well, what you said, Sakura, is very reasonable. After hearing your explanation, it seems to make sense...

"By the way, do you still remember the incident in which Anbe's people kidnapped you to lure Sasuke to appear?"

"That's because Sasuke-kun and I are companions, after all, they don't have the ability to kidnap Naruto... It's not because I have a closer relationship with Sasuke-kun."

Ino let out a long "Oh—" and nodded in a coping manner, pretending to accept Sakura's explanation.

Now, her guess was finally verified. After the serious illness a few days ago, Sakura's memory really went wrong!Moreover, it seems that only the memory about Sasuke is confusing.The most important thing is that Sakura seems to completely regard Sasuke in her memory as a companion, and she doesn't remember liking him at all!

She didn't know whether the amnesia was good or bad for Sakura...but the only thing that could be judged by eyes was that Sakura herself seemed very relaxed at the moment.In this case, there is no need for her to remind her or help her wake up the missing part of the memory.In case Sakura really starts a new relationship because of this, since Sasuke doesn't care about her anyway, it will be a kind of relief for her.

In addition, because it is impossible to determine whether Sakura's memory disorder is temporary or permanent?Ino decided not to tell himself or anyone else for the time being.

After making up his mind, Ino hurriedly tried to restore the content of the chat just now.

She looked at Xiao Ying with a smile, and said, "What I said just now was all a joke. And those questions were also asked for fun. You must not be psychologically burdened." Immediately afterwards, she worriedly urged Said: "About Sasuke, since he hasn't returned to the village, you don't have to think about it."

It has long been known that Ino is a person who speaks generously and straightforwardly, but is not very reasonable. Sakura doesn't care too much about what she said just now, and she doesn't bother to study those words carefully. Some of them are misunderstandings and some are true.As for missing Sasuke-kun... I can't handle the work in my hands, so why should I be distracted by thinking about that person who is traveling far away?

But, listening to her friend's solemn advice and looking at those sincere eyes, Xiao Sakura still nodded her head obediently, which was regarded as her agreement.

Thinking that Sakura was finally freed from her long unrequited love, for some reason, even Ino felt relieved.She put her elbows on the desk, propped her face, looked at Sakura happily, changed the subject, and asked, "What are you going to do later?".

"I'm going to see the children in the psychiatric clinic, are you going?"

Ino shook his head, "I can't go. I just finished an S-level mission today, I have an appointment with Shikamaru and the others, and we want to celebrate together tonight. How about it, do you want to come together?"

Is there a celebration for Class Ten?It must be a buffet in a barbecue restaurant again. At the table with Choji, even if he has no appetite, he will eat too much without knowing it, driven by his eating style.Sakura declined, "...Thank you for your kindness. I'd better go visit the children."

After seeing Ino off, Sakura lowered her head and wrote the case book for a while.By the time she raised her head again, it was already 06:30.Not wanting to miss the dinner time in the consultation room, she hurriedly changed her white coat, locked the office door, and left Konoha Hospital.

At this time, the sun had already set in the west, and the children with parents or guardians in the consultation room had been picked up, and the reception room, treatment room and ward were all empty.Sakura stood alone in the corridor, looked around for a while, and suddenly heard the sound of conversation coming from the dining room, it is expected that at this time, Dr. Iwasaki and the children who lived here had already started eating.

She followed the sound lightly to the door of the dining room, said "Excuse me" politely outside the door, and then opened the door and walked in.

"Sister Xiaoying!" Seeing her coming, Xiaoxing showed a bright smile, dropped the spoon in his hand, ran forward and hugged her slender waist tightly. "How did you come?"

Xiao Ying caressed Xiao Xing's silky and smooth hair affectionately, and said with a smile: "I heard from Yumen that after he and your brother go on missions, you will feel lonely, so I will come to accompany you more."

"Sister Xiaoying, you are so kind!" Xiaoxing buried her head deeply on Xiaoying's body, hiding the small expression of complacency on her face, pretending to be ignorant and complaining: "Teacher Yumen is really, I'm already an older child, so I don't feel lonely so easily! He actually ran to ask you specifically!"

"Yes, yes, Xiaoxing is very brave, and will not be easily afraid of loneliness." Sakura thought he was being brave, and patted his head lovingly, and said softly: "Yumen cares about you. Look, so On a hot day, he even came here to find me for you, it was very hard work. So, don't think that what he did was superfluous. "

I hope that after Xiaoying knows the truth, she will not feel that everything the teacher has done for her is in vain!Xiaoxing snickered "Oh" while thinking, pretending to be casual, and asked: "Then Teacher Yumen went to you, besides mentioning my matter, what else did he say?"

Sakura didn't doubt the real purpose of Xiaoxing's asking this question, and answered frankly: "He asked about my physical condition. Considering that the recent weather is prone to heat stroke, I gave him some medicine to relieve the heat."

She stopped, thought for a while, "uh—" and added: "By the way, when Yumen came, it happened to be lunch time, so I invited him to have a bento together."

I didn't expect that I and my brother gave Teacher Yumen a little push, and he actually made such a big step forward on the road of love!Xiaoxing turned her head happily, and blinked her mischievous big eyes at Dr. Iwasaki; Dr. Iwasaki also showed a gratified smile, and quietly gave Xiaoxing a thumbs up, encouraging him to do a good job.

These small actions of the two were not noticed by Xiao Sakura. After chatting with Xiao Xing, she raised her head, looked at Dr. Iwasaki on the other side of the table, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I forgot to check the time at work. I wanted to come and see Xiaoxing earlier, but I didn't expect to delay until your dinner time, disturbing your meal."

"It's okay, it's okay." Dr. Iwasaki straightened up, showing his usual kind smile, and said, "Dr. Haruno, since you're here, you can eat your dinner here before leaving. I'll let you The cook will help you."

In addition to the manager Iwasaki and two doctors, there are three nurses, a cleaner and a cook in the children's psychological consultation room. Some orphans with serious mental illness or children who need to stay in the consultation room for treatment, It's all taken care of by these people.The cook is a very patient aunt who has been hired since the establishment of the consulting room. In order to make the children eat as happy as possible, she almost never prepares the set meal first, and puts it on the dining shelf for self-serve ; but let everyone order food as they like, and then she will do it again.Although this is a bit troublesome, everyone in the consulting room likes this free way of dining, and they also give a very high evaluation to the chef himself.

Xiao Ying wanted to try the dishes here for a long time, so she nodded shyly and said thanks, "Then please bring me a bowl of fried bean curd udon."

After a while, a bowl of steaming udon noodles was brought to the table. Fresh green onions and crispy seaweed were decorated with golden fried bean curd, soaked in the fragrant noodle soup. Just look at it and whet your appetite.

She ate the noodles in the bowl, chatted with the children on the table, and occasionally discussed work with Dr. Iwasaki; after the meal, she played with the children in the game room for a while. It was nine o'clock.

"Okay, okay." Dr. Iwasaki clapped his hands, coaxing the children around Sakura's feet, "It's already so late, Dr. Haruno has work tomorrow, so he's going back to sleep; everyone should go to wash and sleep. "

"Hey, sister Xiaoying, are you leaving?" Xiaoxing looked at her reluctantly, his dark eyes were full of nostalgia.

"Yes, Xiaoxing, where are you going to live tonight?"

Different from the other children staying in the consultation room, Xiao Xing usually lives with Kyonosuke and lives in the apartment provided by Konoha.But today Kyonosuke went on a mission, leaving Xiaoxing alone at home.Thinking of the little child curled up on an empty bed in such an empty and dark room, Sakura felt a dull pain in her heart.

Then, she thought of Naruto and Sasuke, whose childhood was so pitiful.One lost his family not long after he was born, and the other lost his family when he was young.They bear the original sin bestowed upon them by fate and blood, bear the strange eyes of other people in the village, live alone in a huge apartment, and face the darkness and loneliness of every night alone...

Her heart ached as if being tightly grasped, Sakura tightly hugged Xiaoxing into her arms, as if she wanted to make up for him with the warmth that Naruto and Sasuke had lost.

"Do you want to live at my sister's house?"

Xiao Xing blinked her big eyes and looked at Sakura in surprise.But soon, he politely declined:

"No need, Miss Sakura, I'll stay in the consulting room with everyone tonight."

"...Why?" Sakura felt a little disappointed instead.

Because I don't want Teacher Yumen to envy me too much.Xiao Xing thought mischievously, of course it is impossible to really answer Sakura like this.

He glanced at Dr. Iwasaki with a kind face beside him, and said sincerely and trustingly, "Because, the company of Dr. Iwasaki is enough warmth for me."

"...Xiao Xing...you child!" Doctor Iwasaki was so moved that his eyes were red, he knelt down and hugged him, and rubbed his little face vigorously.

Seeing this scene, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Sakura's mouth, and her eyes became moist.She sincerely felt that it was so right to set up this psychological consultation room in the village and invite experts like Dr. Iwasaki to provide a loving home for these lovely children!

"Then, I will leave these children to you." Sakura bowed deeply to Iwasaki.

"Wait, Doctor Haruno!" Iwasaki suddenly remembered that he still had something to explain, turned around and ran back to his office, took out a black folder, and handed it to Sakura.

"This is?"

"Isn't it midsummer now? All departments have to submit the operating report for the first half of the year and the budget for the second half of the year to Mr. Hokage. In previous years, you were the one doing it, but you were seriously ill a few days ago, I thought You may not have time to prepare..." Thinking of this as an arrogance in terms of job functions, Iwasaki showed a trace of embarrassment and panic, and then said: "So, I wrote a part for you on my own initiative. Of course, there are still some for you. I don't know how to write the work I undertake alone, so I will leave it blank for you to add."

Hearing that she was in a coma, Iwasaki helped herself prepare the report. She stared gratefully at the old man in front of her, wishing to give him a big hug.She reached out and solemnly took the folder from Iwasaki, and said "thank you" several times.

"Before you submit it, you'd better revise it again." Iwasaki was worried that he would inevitably make mistakes when writing such an important report for the first time, so he couldn't help reminding Sakura.

Sakura nodded with a smile, and promised: "Don't worry, just leave it to me." Then, under the eyes of the children seeing off, they stepped into the dark night when the moon was shining.

The mid-year report is directly related to the budget allocation of each institution in the second half of the year and the evaluation results at the end of the year. In addition, the Children's Psychological Clinic is a newly established institution and needs to continuously increase budget investment; therefore, for the sake of children's future. Enjoying the warmth of home and the care of her soul, Sakura went all out to fill it out as soon as she got home.

Regarding the progress of external promotion of children's psychological diagnosis and treatment, the living conditions of the recovered children, and the village people's awareness of the consultation room, these are all important things that Iwasaki doesn't know, but she has to think about it again and again. Fill it out carefully to impress Mr. Kakashi and the members of the administration department.And there are also some fallacies in the content Iwasaki wrote on her behalf, which needs to be corrected by her.

In this way, writing and revising, until the official completion of the draft, the sky has already brightened.

Sakura stretched her waist to her heart's content. For her who has practiced Baihao's skills, staying up late will not have a big impact on her body and mind.

Taking advantage of the completion of the report and it was still early, she decided to submit it directly to Mr. Kakashi before going to work in the hospital.

Thinking like this, Sakura, after some simple grooming, called Kakashi and told him that she was about to visit on business, so she took the folder and went out.

On the other end of the phone, Kakashi replied with vague words such as "hmm", "ok", "yes", and after Sakura hung up, he also put down the phone.

Then, he sat on the chair, looked up at the simple desk in front of him on the right, Sasuke who was concentrating on reading official letters, recalled what Sakura said on the phone "I'm coming to Hokage's office soon", suddenly Suddenly, a "good" idea came to my mind.

So, he stood up and deliberately coughed twice, trying to attract Sasuke's attention not far away.It's a pity that Sasuke was concentrating on sorting out the confidential documents sent to Konoha at this time, and didn't mean to answer Kakashi.

"Hey, Zo...Ita." Kakashi had no choice but to call out his code name directly.

Only then did Sasuke raise his head when he heard the sound, but because he was wearing a mask, Kakashi didn't know what kind of eyes he was looking at him at this time, and he probably felt a little impatient after being interrupted.

He continued: "I just received calls from Lord Menyan and Lord Xiaochun. I must go to them immediately and hold an emergency meeting."

"Oh..." Sasuke responded lightly, and asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?" Considering that he is currently pretending to be Hokage's guard, in such an occasion, he may need to put on a show and follow Kakashi behind?

Kakashi waved his hand and said lightly: "No, no, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back soon."

Sasuke thought about it, after all, Mitomon Yan and Zhuanju Koharu were authoritative consultants who put Konoha's interests first, and they didn't have a good impression of him, a former traitor.After the Great War that year, when I wanted to leave the village to travel, it was Kakashi and Tsunade who repeatedly used their own personalities as a guarantee and worked hard to fight for them in exchange for the release.Now, Kakashi would definitely not want them to see him in the village, so it was normal not to take him.

Thinking of this, Sasuke didn't have the slightest doubt about Kakashi's words.

He continued to sit on his chair, nodded to Kakashi, and said nonchalantly, "Go slowly."Then he returned to his work.

Not long after Kakashi left, there was a soft knock on the door outside Hokage's office.

Sasuke frowned in confusion - it's not time to meet with guests, and Kakashi is not in the office right now; no matter who is outside the door, the visit at this time is meaningless.Even so, good etiquette reminded him that at least the door should be opened for visitors.

Sasuke stood up and opened the door of the office without any expectations, but was surprised to find that standing outside was Haruno Sakura!

Back to Konoha Village, no matter what, there will be a day when I will meet Sakura.But he never expected that it would be in such a sudden situation!

Sasuke paused, quickly restrained the Chakra breath in his whole body, and subconsciously pressed the mask on his face with his right hand, trying to firmly block his face and expression.

Unexpectedly, before he had time to put his hand down, he saw Sakura's face suddenly darkened outside the door.Immediately afterwards, she exuded a heavy murderous aura, covering Sasuke's whole body.

Sakura quickly put the folder in her hand behind her waist, took out a handful of kunai from the inside of her thigh strap, and put it on Sasuke's throat mercilessly; on the other hand, Sasuke didn't want to use it. Chakra was recognized by the opponent, and the second was because Sakura's movements were too fast and she had missed the best opportunity to defend, so she completely gave up resistance and let Sakura use weapons to force her like this.

The two advanced and retreated, and gradually, Sasuke was forced by Sakura to the desk in the center of the room, and sat down on a chair.

Seeing that the person in front of her had no way to retreat, Sakura used her other hand to punch the back of the chair behind Sasuke with a "boom", propped up her upper body, and leaned closer to Sasuke's mask.The faces of the two were not more than a foot away at this time, and even the sound of each other's cautious breathing was quite clear to each other.

Sakura held Kunai's hand without moving an inch, her bright eyes were full of vigilance, she stared straight at the face covered with Anbu's mask in front of her, and asked harshly:

"Who are you? Why are you alone in Hokage's office?"
