[Hokage] Thank you for loving me

After the melee, the wooden house collapsed into ruins under Sakura's heavy fist, and the surrounding ground was also broken into a mess.

"It's inevitable." Ikeda looked at Sakura, and said softly, "Anyway, the rain has stopped, so I'd like to ask Mr. Fukuyama to accommodate you and sleep outside for a night." As he spoke, he resorted to Tudun×Tuyan On the ground, there are three half-person-high earthen walls, surrounded by three walls, leaving a space the size of a double bed in the middle.Then he dug out a bed board and a few clean sheets from the ruins of the wooden house, and spread them on the open space of the earth wall.

"Master Fukuyama, I have wronged you, please take the time to rest." Fukuyama was tired and sleepy, and he didn't make any further excuses. He nodded his thanks and lay down on the simple bed.Seeing that Fukuyama was already lying down, Ikeda turned to Sakura and said, "Haruno, I'll check if there is any clean bedding. You should take a rest, too?"

"Don't take care of me deliberately. Now that it is clear that there are enemies who will come to assassinate Fukuyama-sama, I'd better accompany you to watch the night."

So, the three of them built a fire in front of the earthen wall, set up a pot of boiling water, and sat around the fire. It was late at night, and the forest had just rained. The air was refreshingly fresh, and occasionally the cold wind blew However, mixed with a bit of biting coolness.Feeling the warmth of the fire in front of them and maintaining a certain degree of vigilance, the three of them closed their eyes in silence to rest their minds.

The second half of the night passed quickly in silence, and when it was daylight, Fukuyama woke up.Ikeda moistened a cloth with the hot water and wiped his face, while Yumen turned to look for rice in the ruins of the wooden house and prepared to cook a pot of porridge.

"Wait, Master Fukuyama, do you want to try this?" Sakura took out a pink Bingliang Pill from the medical bag, and said, "This is an improved version of Bingliang Pill developed by Sister Jingyin and me, eat it. After that, I won’t be hungry for a whole day, and it can also relieve fatigue and enhance physical strength. So far, no side effects have been found.”

"Oh? Then I must try it." Fukuyama took the Bingliang Pill from Sakura's hand. It exudes a faint sweet fragrance. It looks crystal clear, round and cute. It is more like compressed food than compressed food. A piece of gold flat candy melts immediately after putting it in the mouth, and before chewing it, only the breath of cherry blossoms is left in the mouth.

"It's delicious, do all of you ninjas eat such fun things?" Fukuyama asked a little bit.

"No, it's because the cherry blossoms just happened to be in bloom recently. When I was researching new medicines, Senior Sister Jingyin and I wanted to make the new medicines taste like cherry blossoms on a whim. Unfortunately, in the end, out of safety considerations, we just put the soldiers together. The grain pill has been changed to cherry blossom flavor."

"The disciples of Tsunade Hime are really interesting people." Fukuyama smiled lovingly.

"You two should try it too?" Sakura took out two more from her bag.

After Ikeda took it and ate it, he was amazed, and after a while he said with shame, "Although I am considered Haruno's senior, I can't compare to you in terms of medical research."

Yumen had a complicated expression, and didn't reach out to pick it up.

"Here, here you are." Xiao Ying took the initiative to pass the Bingliang Wan forward, and Yumen hurriedly took a step back, so Xiao Ying had no choice but to step forward, "Why don't you eat it? Don't you believe me?"

"This is something that women eat." Yumen protested.

When Xiao Ying heard this, she became very playful, "Master Fushan doesn't mind, what are you afraid of?" While talking, she suddenly approached him, and forced the Bingliang Wan into his mouth.

"Haruno, what are you doing!?" Yumen didn't expect Sakura to be so tough. When the pill rolled down her throat, it left a cool fragrance of cherry blossoms in her mouth, just like the flying pink hair of the person in front of her. There is the white and tender finger touch that remains on the lips, and it is as soft as cherry blossom petals.Yumen's face blushed involuntarily, and it was hard to tell whether it was choking or shyness.

"Is it delicious?" Seeing Yumen's reaction, Xiao Sakura felt that teasing him was really funny, so she couldn't help laughing out loud, but Yumen seemed to be angry and turned her face away.

If it was Naruto, he would have opened his mouth wide and jokingly said, "Sakura, you feed me." If it was Sai, he would have obediently accepted it from the very beginning, right? If it was Sasuke...would he be mad at feeding him himself?Or do you impatiently avoid it at first?

"Haruno, don't you need to eat?" Fukuyama asked with concern.

"Bing food pills are limited, so I don't need them."

"Haruno has practiced the art of Baihao, and it is okay to not eat or drink for a long time during the mission." Ikeda said with a look of admiration: "She has completely mastered Konoha's secret art at such a young age, and both medical and ninjutsu are excellent. Top-notch, it's the perfect partner for the mission! Isn't it, Mikado?"

"You are enough." Yumen didn't seem to want to go along with Ikeda, and he couldn't see his expression clearly when his back was turned to everyone, but he said in a blunt tone: "Whether it's secret art or medical art, it's all because she found a Good Master. It is time for us to go."

Ikeda still wanted to argue a few words, but Yumen strode forward and set off without looking back, so he had to follow along with Fushan.

"What an unlovable person." Sakura walked at the end, looked at Yumen's back, and thought with some emotion: "He is so similar to Sasuke-kun, but why does he always reject me? Could it be that I was born with Sasuke?" Is this the type of person you don’t get along with? No, no, no, that’s not the case. When I was with Sasuke-kun before, he didn’t hate me so obviously. Wait, he did say the word ‘hate’ to me Yes, and more than once, several times! Well, maybe I didn’t give them a good first impression at the beginning, maybe after a lot of contact, Yumen will accept me like Sasuke-kun. Sasuke-kun accepts me Is it? Is it right... Do you accept me like a companion? Or accept me as a lover's replacement? I really want to meet him, just ask him directly!"

Thoughts drifted farther and farther, Sakura found herself far behind the others.As long as she thinks about Sasuke, she can't stop at all, which is why after Sasuke left, she tried her best to keep herself busy every day without any chance to breathe, because she really didn't want to dig into the corners of this unknown relationship. The more she thought about it, the bigger her head became.

She quickened her pace and caught up with Ikeda and Fukuyama, continuing to chat with them to fill the void in her thoughts.Exchanged medical skills, chatted about some interesting things about Konoha, and listened to Fukuyama's talk about the history of the rainbow country, time passed quickly; and Yumen never talked to Sakura again, and Sakura was afraid that she would think of Sasuke again when she saw him, Apart from the basic task exchange, the two hardly spoke again.

Leaving the country of fire all the way to the west, the scenery gradually became desolate. The green of the dense forest was replaced by the pale yellow of the sand dunes and slopes. At night, they could only sleep in the countryside, and the three of them took turns to keep vigil for Fukuyama.Fortunately, the assassinated enemy never appeared again, and the group arrived near the border of the Rainbow Kingdom on the evening of the fourth day.

"Out of this valley, and then through the forest in front, is the border of the Rainbow Kingdom." Fukuyama said: "There is plenty of time, and we will definitely be able to return to the Rainbow Kingdom within tomorrow. Let's eat something here and rest overnight Let's move again."
