[Hokage] Thank you for loving me

At the beginning of a new week, Sakura was in the laboratory of the hospital sorting out the use of experimental drugs in the previous week.

In Konoha Village, when each team receives a new mission, the medical ninjas in the team will go to Konoha Hospital to receive the medicines needed for the mission according to the mission; if the nature of the mission is special, some medical ninjas will go directly to The research laboratory prepares new or improved drugs separately.Therefore, every natural month, the hospital needs to make statistics and records on the consumption of medicines in the laboratory in the previous month.

Originally, this was supposed to be the job of Shizune, the monitor of the medical class, but before she traveled with Tsunade, she asked Sakura to do it for her.That's why Sakura walked back and forth here to review, writing down corresponding records in the notebook in her hand from time to time.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?" After the door of the research room was knocked lightly three times, Ino politely pushed the door open, greeted and walked in.Seeing that it was Sakura standing in front of the medicine storage cabinet, she was a little surprised, then smiled and said, "Why do I feel like I can always see you recently?"

"I should be the one who said this." Xiao Ying stopped the pen in her hand, looked up at her friend, and teased: "It seems that you also know how to knock on the door sometimes."

Ino smirked, leaned in front of Sakura, carefully examined her mental state, and found that it was still the same as the previous two days.After thinking about it, she decided not to ask me directly about Sasuke's memory for the time being, so she made a circle and asked, "...Did you go on a date last weekend?"

Why is it the topic of love again? Why do friends always ask her about this topic when they meet recently?Even if she is of marriageable age, there is no need to urge her to find a date in such a hurry, right?

Sakura stared at Ino dumbfounded, "I don't have anyone to date, who am I dating? I took a walk with Hinata the day before yesterday, is that considered a date?"

Ino waved his hand indifferently, and replied, "There's no need to talk about that kind of thing." It seems... Sakura's memory shows no signs of recovery.

She let out a long sigh of relief, moved closer to Sakura, looked at the content in her notebook, and asked curiously, "Are you helping Senior Sister Jingyin record the usage of medicine?"

"Yeah, before she left, she told me to help her." Xiao Ying raised her eyes, read the remaining amount of liquid in the bottle of moshi grass juice on the shelf in front of her, on the third floor, and wrote to the book Going to write, while casually asking: "What are you doing here?"

"Oh. The weather is too hot recently. As you know, Choji has a thick layer of fat on his body. When he is on a mission for the past few days, he gets dizzy from the sun in the middle of his mission. Unfortunately, our team recently received There are just too many tasks to do..."

Hearing this sentence, Xiao Ying couldn't help but chuckled, and interjected: "Is there? Then you keep running to me?"

It's not because I'm worried about you!Ino rolled his eyes, ignored his friend's complaints, and continued: "Ordinary Qingliang pills, Ding Ci has no effect at all. So I came here to make some special Qingliang pills with stronger medicinal effects for him. Take it with you on missions."

"Hey, you are really considerate..." Sakura thought about it, Naruto naturally has Hinata to help him worry; Sai, let alone, if Ino does too much, he will definitely divide him; Kakashi The teacher blows the air-conditioning in the office every day, so he doesn't have to go out for assignments for a long time.From this point of view, none of the members of the seventh class got their turn to take care of them.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in her mind, and Sakura remembered the Anbu ninja named "Ita".She hurt him by mistake before, and she has always been guilty, and two days ago, when she saved Xiaoxing, she didn't thank him very much.Apart from making pills, I don't seem to have any other good housekeeping skills, why don't I help Ino and make more for him?

After making up her mind, Sakura quickly put down the notepad in her hand, took out her white coat from the laboratory table, put it on her body, and suggested to Ino:

"Shall I help you do it together? Make more, share the rest, and leave it to me."

"Eh? Aren't you busy with something?" Ino's face was full of doubts, not knowing why Sakura was so energetic all of a sudden. "Are you worried that I won't be able to dispense medicine?"

Xiao Ying hurriedly waved her hand to deny it, and explained: "Actually, I also want to give some Qingliang Pills to others."

"Ah? Who is who?" Ino asked, and immediately recalled Sakura's previous words in his mind, "Isn't it the Hokage guard you care about?"

"It's him..." Xiao Ying admitted hesitantly, fearing that her friend would misunderstand her further, she hurriedly added: "I just want to send him some medicine and apologize to him."

"It's been so long, his injury has already healed. Besides, what's the matter with you giving Qingliang pills to the person who was injured by the knife?" Ino half-closed his eyes and asked with a teasing smile.

"Two days ago, Xiao Xing was bullied on the road, and he was the one who rescued him. In terms of emotion and reason, I have to give him something to thank him."

Hehe, a crooked smile appeared on the corner of Ino's mouth, and he lightly poked Sakura's forehead, "You also said that you don't like him. I've never seen anyone who you made something for yourself." Except, the former Sasuke ...

Maybe it was a little annoyed by being teased, or maybe it was really what Ino said, Sakura's ears were dyed a touch of pink, and she opened her eyes and shouted: "Okay, okay, don't guess! Hurry up and change your clothes and start dispensing medicine."

Ino retorted helplessly in her heart: She is not just guessing. From the past, Sakura would only give things made by herself to people she likes.I don't know what kind of characteristics this Anbu called "Ita" has, which can attract Sakura's attention just when she loses her memory.What kind of person is that guy?Is there someone you are dating?In his eyes, how does he view Sakura?It is said that Shikamaru also knows this Yi Tai, and when he sees him tomorrow, he must ask him carefully.

With Sakura's help, the Qingliang Pill that Ino needed was quickly prepared.

"It seems... if you're not careful, you overdo it..." Ino looked at the dark brown round pills piled up like a small hill in the aluminum alloy tray in front of him, and stuck out his tongue.

"It's okay, you pack the amount you need and take it home first, and I'll take care of the rest." Sakura opened the cabinet door under the laboratory bench, and searched for tweezers and portable jars.

"Okay." Ino took the tweezers that Sakura handed her, and carefully put the Qingliang Pills into the bottle one by one. After a while, the small jar was filled up.

"The rest, you can give it to Yitai?" Ino generously pushed the tray in front of Sakura, and said with a smile, "He will definitely be very touched."

Xiao Sakura glanced at it, and there was still more than half of the plate of Qingliang Pills left in the tray with a five-finger-wide radius, and she couldn't help laughing.

"This is medicine, and it's not a good thing. I'm giving him so much, I'm afraid he won't be able to finish it all summer. I'd better save some for the children in the consulting room, maybe it will come in handy when someone suffers from heatstroke." .”

After finishing speaking, she packed up the scattered pharmaceutical utensils on the table, freed her hand along the way, and pointed to a thick blue-covered notepad hanging next to the medicine storage cabinet.

"Ino, remember to register the experimental records of this preparation, so that we can check the consumption of pharmaceutical raw materials in the future."

Following the direction of Sakura's finger, Ino took down the notepad as promised.Out of curiosity about what experiments other medical ninjas had done before, Ino did not immediately pick up a pen and write in it, but flipped through the previously registered content, only to find that in the thick notebook, most of them were It was a blank page, and there were only a few dozens of pages with drug experiment records written on it.

"This year...everyone hasn't done any experiments." Ino muttered.

Sakura glanced back at her, and explained: "Now is a time of peace, there is no need to develop new medicines, and there is no need to improve existing medicine formulas. Doctors and medical ninjas have gone directly to the pharmacy to get medicine, and come here for experiments. Naturally, there will be fewer people.”

That's right, although I am a medical ninja, I haven't been in a laboratory for almost a year.Ino chuckled, scanned the experiment summary in the upper right corner of each page, and flipped to the blank pages at the back in boredom.

Suddenly, a strange record caught her eyes.

——Research Type: Psychotherapy Drugs! ?

Wait, haven't psychotropic drugs been banned by Tsunade-sama?Who risked this ban, went to the laboratory of the hospital, and conducted experiments so blatantly?

Ino continued to look down, and found that in the column of the developer's name, the names of Haruno Sakura and Kato Shizune were impressively written, and the column of the number of experimental drug samples recorded "Reagent Three Tubes".Otherwise, all other required fields on this page are left blank.

How is this going?Why are Sakura and Shizune the researchers of this forbidden drug?

Ino looked suspiciously at Sakura who was busy behind her, and wanted to ask a question, but a bold guess suddenly appeared in his mind.This thought was so absurd that she couldn't help trembling slightly, her voice was choked in her throat, and suddenly she couldn't ask a word.

Giving up on asking the parties, Ino opened the door of the drug storage cabinet by himself, and found the storage box containing the drug developed by Sakura in the rightmost storage box on the second floor according to the number of the current experimental sample.She swallowed, and slowly lifted the lid of the box with anxiety.

really!As she expected, there were only two tubes of reagents left in the box!

Ino glanced at Sakura quickly, fearing that she would notice her discovery, but Sakura still maintained her position with her back to her at this time, wiping the experimental table, ignorant of the situation behind her.

So, Ino quickly covered the box, put it back, closed the door of the medicine storage cabinet as quietly as possible, and sat back on the side of the laboratory bench.Because she was so nervous, her hand holding the pen kept shaking. With her nerves highly concentrated, the reasoning in her mind gradually became clear.

It turned out that Sakura lost Sasuke's memory not because she had a high fever, but because she drank the tube of experimental medicine in the cabinet.Although I don't know the specific effects of the psychotropic drugs she developed for herself, what is certain is that she didn't feel unwell and forgot about Sasuke, but she made such a choice on her own initiative.Why did Sakura do this?She has liked Sasuke for more than ten years, and the feeling of yearning has never diminished. Why did she suddenly give up on her own?When making this potion, what did she think about the past memories with Sasuke...?

Moreover, why did she not reveal such an important plan to herself at all, but finally chose to tell Sister Jingyin... As a close friend in a boudoir, it is really sad to find out this fact...

"Hello? What are you thinking?" Just as Ino was in a daze, Sakura suddenly poked her head out from the right side of her shoulder, leaned into her ear, and asked, "Why is this page still blank? Didn't write it?"

"Ah? Oh...!" Ino frantically stroked the notepad on the table, lowered his head and wrote a few words perfunctorily, then couldn't help turning his head and staring at Sakura's face.Since her mind was full of questions, she didn't know where to start asking!After a long silence, Ino finally asked a question: "Sakura, do you... trust me?"

"Of course!" Sakura immediately responded with a positive smile.

"Then... are you hiding something from me?"

After thinking for a while, Sakura replied decisively: "No."

Sigh, forget it, maybe she has forgotten about the fact that she drank the potion, so it is useless to ask her anything now.

Ino smiled wryly, and decided to write directly to Shizune to ask what happened.After all, she was also involved in the research and development of the potion. Presumably, she must know the purpose and motivation of Sakura.In case, it was Sakura who caused her own amnesia, then shouldn't she... should support her... start a brand new relationship?

"The above is the operation report of the Children's Psychological Clinic for the first half of the year and the budget for the second half of the year."

In front of Hokage's desk, after Haruno Sakura finished dictating the main content of the report, with a "snap", she skillfully closed the black folder in her hand, and handed it to Kakashi behind the desk. inside.

Kakashi nodded approvingly while casually flipping through the pages of the thick folder.

"It's well written and detailed." He smiled gratifiedly at his beloved female disciple.It's a pity that Sakura couldn't see his expression under the mask at all, only a pair of slightly downward curved eyes.

"I think this report is better than the one you have submitted before. The content is comprehensive and the wording is more standardized." Kakashi spared no effort to praise.

"Really..." Sakura blushed, and clarified embarrassingly: "That's because Dr. Iwasaki helped write this report."

"Oh..." Kakashi was also a little embarrassed when he realized that he had praised the wrong person, "It doesn't matter, he is an experienced expert after all. You are still young, and you can write at the same level as before, which is also very good."

Sakura happily returned Kakashi with a smile, then her eyes stopped on his face, and after looking at it for a while, she asked with concern:

"Mr. Kakashi, your eyes are a little bloodshot, isn't it... you haven't had a good rest recently?"

"Really? Is it so obvious?" Kakashi touched the upper half of his exposed face, and replied heavily: "I've been working overtime recently, maybe I'm a little tired." Originally, I wanted to take a vacation for myself today, and Akai and the others went out to soak in the hot spring, but they were forced to stay in the office by Sasuke!

"Mr. Kakashi, you should pay attention to proper rest and don't force yourself. If you are too busy with work and too tired, be sure to tell me, I can prepare some medicine for you to restore your strength in the hospital."

"Thank you. If there is a need, I will contact you." Kakashi looked at Sakura with a pleasing expression, his eyes showing a touch of emotion.Sure enough, Sakura is the one who is closest to him and cares about him among his disciples, so teach him how not to be partial to her, and lean towards her more, both emotionally and at work.

Thinking of this, Kakashi glanced helplessly at Sasuke who was sitting behind the simple desk.Ever since Sakura entered the door, he has been holding a mission data set and looking at it. If Kakashi hadn't overlooked something while listening to Sakura's report, that guy's eyes and fingers seemed to have stayed there from beginning to end. On the same page, the sourcebook was never turned at all.

He did not hesitate to forcefully ask Hokage to adjust his working hours, and let Xiao Sakura come here to give a report today; but when Xiao Sakura actually came, he deliberately pretended to be concentrating on his work, sitting in a corner, and did not even help her with water Pour a glass.He is so tall, and his strength has already dominated the ninja world, but this awkward personality has not changed at all.

Kakashi didn't know that although Sasuke was staring at the book with a serious expression at this moment, and his eyes were scanning every word line by line, his eyes had long lost focus, and the densely packed words were reflected in his eyes on the paper, completely blurred into a ball.

He couldn't concentrate, and when he thought of Haruno Sakura standing not far in front of him, he couldn't concentrate at all!

Sasuke's fingers tightly pinched the edge of the book, barely controlled his eyes to look in her direction, but his ears couldn't help trying to catch her voice.The mood floated up with her close presence for a while, and soon sank because of the irreparable relationship gap with her.

Ever since he went back that day, the words that Sakura had said kept echoing in his ears.

"If he wants revenge, I will grow stronger with him; if he fails and gets injured, I will heal him; if he is tired, I will provide him with a shelter."

This is what she wants to do for him, and this is what she has always had for him.

From revenge to redemption, during this long journey, he instinctively resisted everything, but she stuck to her spot, with this faith and determination, hoping that he would come back and take her away with her.

Now, he finally received her call, and was aroused by her sincerity to resonate in his heart. When he wanted to stop and face her heart squarely, it was too late.

She has...been so hurt by him that she flinched...

"Sasuke-kun has his own choice, as a companion, I can only bless him."

That day, she answered this sentence calmly, without any shy expectation, and only rational blessings remained in her tone.

It was this sentence that made Sasuke realize that it was too late for him to look back and make up for what Sakura had done for him.Haruno Sakura herself might not want to go back to the ambiguous and entangled companionship with him, right?That's why he spoke so decisively and coldly.

Since she obeyed her words and made up her mind to return to the relationship with her companions, why did she go back on her word and try to save her and shake her heart?Or, just continue to wear the mask and fade out from her life...

Yes, in the first few days when he bid farewell to Haruno Sakura, he did make such a decision.

But on Wednesday, when she knocked on the door of Hokage's office, all those rational thoughts disappeared in an instant.His heart was filled with joy floating up and up for a while, and annoyance of sinking and sinking for a while. After finally suppressing these strange emotions, he found that the throbbing derived from anticipation was irresistibly lingering in his heart.

So, when Sakura entered the office, Sasuke had no choice but to pretend to be outside the box, forcing himself to focus on his work and ignore her existence.Soon, he discovered that this self-deception was futile.It was a cruel and harsh trial to turn a deaf ear to a person he cared about, but to stand no more than two meters away from her.

Sasuke Uchiha discovered for the first time in his life that even though he has become the strongest ninja, there are still times when he can't control his will.

On the other side, after chatting a few more gossips with Kakashi, Sakura and Kakashi raised their eyes to look at the clock on the wall, and found that the time wasted here has exceeded expectations.

She bowed down to Kakashi respectfully, and said with a smile: "Then, Mr. Kakashi, I will leave the report to you. If you have anything else to say, let's wait until the dinner party. Let me take my leave first." .”

"Dinner?" Kakashi said the word without expecting, and said with a serious expression: "If you want to have dinner, don't ask me to pay the bill."

"Eh? Don't be so stingy." Sakura stuck out her tongue playfully, and shouted coquettishly.

Finally... are you leaving?

Sasuke, who had sat in the corner of his office the whole time, silent, couldn't tell if he felt lost or liberated at the moment.

In any case, the secretly entangled mood when we were in the same room with her, at least it was over.

At this moment, Sakura, who had already walked towards the gate, seemed to remember something.She quickly reached out to touch the medical bag pinned to her waist, checked the contents of the bag, turned around, walked back, and came straight to "Yitai"'s desk.

"Excuse me, Yitai." As if afraid to scare the other party, Xiao Sakura greeted him as gently as possible, and a faint blush appeared on her face, "Well, I... have something to give you……"
