[Hokage] Thank you for loving me
Chapter 44
The man who made the confession heard Sakura's answer that he didn't like anyone yet, so he stood up satisfied and left happily.Before going out, he deliberately turned his head back and said to Sakura, "I look forward to seeing you next time."
The corners of Sakura's mouth twitched, she waved her hands and did not respond, wishing from the bottom of her heart that she would not see those "patients" who were moaning without illness again.
"I don't know, do I have a chance to pursue Dr. Haruno?" The door of the consulting room was open, and just as the last patient left, an elegant and clear voice came from the other side of the door, with a few hints in his tone. Very frivolous.
Xiao Ying raised her head and looked at the people who entered the consultation room, she was taken aback for a moment, then put on a friendly smile, and greeted: "Xin Liu-jun, why are you here?"
Hearing Sakura's greeting, Fukuyama Shinryu answered in a nonchalant manner, "Of course I miss you." Then he opened his arms excitedly and strode straight to Sakura, making a gesture to hug her.
Xiao Sakura smiled and was about to turn around to escape, but the other party was grabbed by the collar by Yumen who came in later, and she was pulled back two steps abruptly.
"Yumen is here too?" It was beyond her expectation that these two people would appear together in Konoha Hospital.
Yumen, who just finished the mission, looks capable and energetic, with a bright red complexion in his slightly dark complexion, and his dark eyes are still so cold, but the piercing eyes shot out of them just touched Sakura , immediately softened a bit.
"My task this time is to escort Konoha, Fukuyama Xinliu." Probably because he was in a hurry and didn't drink much water, his deep voice was hoarse and dry, "As soon as he entered the village, Xinliu said I want to come to the hospital to see you. So, I came with him. "
Xiao Sakura gave a sudden oh, and responded in a warm voice: "The task is hard." Then, she turned around and poured a glass of water, handed it to Yumen, and added, "Welcome back."
"Well, I'm back." Hearing this ordinary greeting, Yumen's heart seemed to be poked by a feather, crisp and itchy.In the half month since he left, when he was resting during the mission, he would occasionally think of Sakura.However, that sour and sweet feeling was too disturbing, so every time the figure of Sakura appeared in his mind, he would restrain himself from further memories, and try to clear his mind.
Now, Xiao Ying is standing in front of him, he no longer has to deliberately suppress the strong emotional stimulation brought by her image, and let his gaze take her into his eyes.That smile seemed to be a gust of cool breeze, blowing away the sweltering heat, and also swept away Yumen's fatigue from the task.
Xinliu struggled a few times, and broke free from Yumen's grasping hand, and protested with a handsome face: "Hey, Yumen, you dragged me like this on purpose to get ahead of me. Greetings Sakura, aren't you a bit too cunning?"
"Don't forget, I brought you here because you promised not to trouble Haruno." Yumen reminded with a cold face.
"Is this an inconvenience? I just want to express the joy of reunion with a hug!" Xin Liu winked at Sakura, her face was full of intimacy, "Seeing me, Sakura, are you surprised? ah?"
I never really expected you to come to Konoha Village, so what a surprise... Xiao Sakura didn't want to dampen Xinliu's enthusiasm for this visit, so she replaced the answer with a perfunctory smile, and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Master Fukuyama How are you and Mrs.?"
When performing missions before, Fukuyama and his wife, as clients, took care of her in many ways and loved her very much; now, it has been a long time since she left the Rainbow Country, but when she thinks of the amiable behavior of the two, Sakura still feels that Indescribably close.
When mentioning his parents far away, Xin Liu's expression and tone also restrained a little, and he replied solemnly: "Very good. After my father successfully ascended the throne, he implemented some new policies. Under his control, the relevant reform measures are being carried out in an orderly manner. Push forward; Mother is the same as before, managing the internal affairs of Rainbow City, and when she is free occasionally, she will help elder brother find a blind date or something."
"Hey——Mr. Taiyi has started a blind date? That's really gratifying. I hope he can choose the person he likes as soon as possible." Although he didn't have much interaction with the serious and serious young master of the Rainbow Kingdom, he also He had been warmly received by him before, so when she said these words, Sakura's tone was full of sincere blessings.
"Yeah, big brother has started to enter a new stage of life, but I don't even have a date." Xinliu said, a pair of charming peach blossom eyes passed by Xiaoying, and her right hand kissed Xiaoying intimately. Towards her shoulders.However, without even touching his clothes, his hand was stopped by the imperial gate behind him.
"Xin Liu-kun is so popular and good at making girls happy, why don't you worry about not being able to find someone to associate with?" Afraid that Xin Liu would extend his hand again, Xiao Ying took a step back with a smile, and distanced herself from him.
"Don't mention it, since I was sent to stay in the Land of Fire two months ago, I have been busy with work and entertainment every day, and I have no time to go out and play, let alone date girls." Xin Liu sighed for a long time Take a breath.
Xiao Sakura took a closer look at Xin Liu's face, there was indeed a bit of tiredness in the fair and translucent complexion, and the eyes that used to be full of energy were also stained with thin red blood.She couldn't help but feel distressed. The person in front of her had been living a pampered life, but she was suddenly entrusted with the heavy responsibility of the country's diplomacy and left her hometown. From then on, he will face all the hardships and pressures alone...
Feeling soft, Sakura graciously comforted her and said, "You have just taken over Mr. Fukuyama's foreign affairs, so you will naturally be busy. After a while, you will be familiar with everything in the Land of Fire, and you will definitely feel more relaxed."
"I hope, now I can only comfort myself in this way."
"By the way, Mr. Xinliu, you haven't said yet, why did you come to Muye Village this time?"
"Did you forget?" Hearing this question, Xinliu regained his energy and said with a playful smile: "You promised that if I come to Muye Village as a guest, you will accompany me on a date. I will come to you to fulfill the promise gone."
Although Xinliu is a bit willful and frivolous, the purpose of his trip is absolutely impossible to simply miss her, or to find her on a date.Thinking of this, Sakura raised her eyebrows, and followed his words and asked: "So, Yumen's mission is to go to the Fire City on purpose this time, and then pick you up for a date in Konoha?" The tone implied With a bit of sarcasm, she sighed lightly and continued: "Forget it, it's not convenient for you to reveal the truth, so I won't force it."
"No, no, it's nothing inconvenient to disclose. I just wanted to joke with you just now, just to remind you, don't forget the date promise you promised me before." Xinliu explained with a smile: "This time I came to Konoha for Discuss with the Sixth Generation Hokage about the establishment of Ninja Village. As you know, my father and Uncle Sato have always wanted to invite a few powerful Konoha Jami Ninja to stay in the Rainbow Country so that they can help train new Ninja Village in our country. A regulated and reliable ninja army."
Sakura recalled that Mr. Sato had told her about this when she left the Rainbow Country, and asked her to convey this intention to Mr. Kakashi.At that time, Mr. Kakashi's answer to her was "follow the arrangement of the daimyo". I don't know what answer he will give when Shinryu comes to visit this time.
"When you were in the Fire City, did the daimyo agree to this matter?" Sakura asked worriedly.
"Of course." Xinliu half-closed her sly eyes, and replied proudly: "This is a good thing for mutual benefit, and, with my excellent eloquence, the daimyo of the Land of Fire naturally readily agreed. .”
Is it mutually beneficial...?The affiliated wealthy small country wants to break away from the military protection of the Fire Nation and build its own army.With that adult's heart, I am afraid that he is not broad enough to view this matter so openly.Behind this, he has other precautions that are unknown...
I muttered this in my heart, but it was inconvenient to express such speculations to foreign visitors.With a smile on her face, Sakura only congratulated Xinliu and asked, "Have you met Mr. Kakashi?"
"Not yet." Xinliu shook his head, and suddenly leaned in front of Sakura, and the distance between the two suddenly shrank to less than a foot, "I just arrived here, and I couldn't wait to see you first. How about it, isn't it very touching?"
Sakura smiled and looked back at the pair of bright but alluring pupils in front of her.She didn't know why Xin Liu came to her first, but she vaguely sensed that he definitely didn't just want to see her.
Yumen, who was standing by the side, was extremely displeased to see Xinliu always making some small moves, trying to get in touch with Sakura more intimately.He grabbed Xinliu back to his side, and reminded in a deep voice: "Okay, let's stop talking here. It's time to find Master Hokage."
"But I feel like the two of us have just started talking..." As he spoke, Xin Liu glanced at the clock on the wall, and found that the remaining time to visit Hokage was really running out, so he could only swallow the rest of the words in his stomach, lightly He licked his lips and said: "Sakura, I will stay in Konoha for a while, and I will find time to come to you when the time comes. You must remember to spare time and go on a date with me."
Sakura pouted, noncommittal, "It depends on my time and mood."
After dealing with Xinliu, she suddenly remembered something, her tone became concerned, and she raised her eyes to the person behind Xinliu and asked, "Yumen, have you visited Xiaoxing?"
"I haven't had time to see him yet. However, Kyonosuke went to find Xiaoxing as soon as he returned to the village just now. After escorting Xinliu to the place where he lives, I will go to the consultation room to meet the two brothers and pick them up Let's go have dinner together." Yumen smiled softly, and the sharp-edged facial features were immediately softened to become more handsome. "During the time I was away, Xiao Xing thanked you for taking care of me."
Why are the recent Yumen so polite, and I can't get used to it all of a sudden... Sakura waved her hand, and replied cautiously: "There is nothing to worry about, Xiaoxing is so cute, it doesn't make people worry at all. Besides, how much Playing with the children in the treatment room is what I should do." While speaking to Yumen, she raised her head and noticed an unusually red and swollen area on the other's neck, alternating red and white in patches, It extends from behind the ears to the collarbone, and then spreads to the entire upper arm of the left and right hands.
"Are you sunburned?" Sakura's questioning voice suddenly rose a few degrees.
Yumen stroked his neck and replied without hesitation: "Oh, it's all right. It's just a little peeling off."
"Sunburned such a large area of skin, how can it be all right!?" Sakura hurriedly reached into the medical bag to search, and found a small bag of special cooling pills inside, which was given to "Yitai" this morning after the rest.Originally, she planned to give it to Dr. Iwasaki for use in case of a child suffering from heatstroke; considering that these Qingliang pills are specially made and have relatively strong medicinal effects, they are not suitable for children, so she kept them.Now that Yumen is sunburned, this just happened to be needed, so she took it out and handed it to him, "This is a special Qingliang pill, which is more effective than ordinary ones. You take it back, and when you take a bath at night, it will melt on the In the water, it can relieve the pain of peeling skin after being sunburned, and it can also help your skin recover early."
Yumen didn't expect that she would be so concerned about her little injury, a warm current flowed through her heart immediately.He muttered "thank you" as he reached out to take the medicine pack from her.
When the fingertip was only a few centimeters away, Yumen couldn't help but raise his eyes, and secretly glanced at the person in front of him.She was standing so close to him, the fragrance from her pink-like spring cherry hair almost occupied all the air he inhaled into his nostrils, her eyelashes fluttered gently following the rhythm of her breath, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy. Full of friendly kindness.His heart beat wildly for a few times, and his outstretched fingers trembled slightly. After hesitating, he suddenly didn't dare to touch Sakura's hand.So he had no choice but to curl his fingers back, turn his hands into palms, and let Xiao Ying lightly put the medicine into his palm.
"That's great, I want it too." Xin Liu, who watched the scene quietly, finally yelled, reaching out to get the medicine in Yumen's hand, the latter quickly closed his palms and put the medicine back into his pocket .
Sakura smiled and said to Xinliu: "You don't need to be exposed to the sun for a long time, you don't need this." Seeing that he was vaguely disappointed, she added: "Don't worry, I promised Mrs. Fukuyama , as long as you need anything, I will be happy to dispense medicine for you at any time."
"...Sakura, you are so kind."
While Xinliu was talking, he couldn't help shaking his hand towards Sakura's, and Yumen quickly pulled it back, urging him with a straight face: "If you continue to dawdle like this, Master Hokage will be off work."
"...It was obviously you and Sakura who were there just now..."
Yumen glared at Xinliu, blocked the second half of his words abruptly, and then dragged him away without any resistance.
In order to hurry, the two hurried to Hokage's office.As soon as he entered the door, Yumen first submitted the report of the escort mission to Kakashi, and then introduced Shinryu to him.
"This is the second young master of the Rainbow Kingdom, Mr. Fukuyama Xinliu, right?"
In order to show his importance to the visitors, Kakashi got up and left his seat, walked up to Xin Liu, and warmly greeted him: "Welcome to Konoha Village, you have worked hard all the way."
"Yes. The previous arrangements for my father's return to the country to succeed me were thanks to Hokage-sama's meticulous arrangements. I am really grateful." Shinryu said polite words while quietly looking at Kakashi in front of him.Under the dark black mask, you can see the tough face lines and the high bridge of the nose. The dark black pupils are exposed, and the eyelids are slightly drooping. Although he looks a little careless, his eyes are clear and not dull , Refined and unsophisticated.
This person, maybe just like what Father said, can help us... Thinking of this, Xin Liu looked at him more sincerely, and praised him more fluently. "After the Ninja World War, I have always dreamed of coming to Konoha and meeting you who is known as the 'No. [-] Technician of Konoha' while I am young. In fact, before you took office as Hokage, I had already heard many legends about your strength and achievements; it can be said that you were a great motivation for me to leave my hometown and come to the country of Fire to serve as a diplomatic envoy. Now, I am really grateful to Hokage The fulfillment of the daimyo-sama and my father of the land of the country has made my dream come true so quickly; to see you with my own eyes, my trip is not in vain."
"Hahaha, Shinryu-kun, you are really good at talking." Maybe he was fed up with the pressure of work and Sasuke's indifference, but Kakashi felt very useful when he suddenly heard these compliments.He laughed heartily a few times, and his attitude towards him became intimate.
"No, it's all from the heart." Xin Liu replied solemnly.
Let's stop listening to what is pleasant to hear.Kakashi nodded in satisfaction, and cut to the point: "Xin Liu-kun came to Konoha from the Fire City this time to discuss with me about the establishment of the Ninja Village in the Rainbow Country?"
"Yes. I want to stay here for a while and visit Konoha's major military institutions as a reference for the prototype of the Ninja Village in the Rainbow Country; in addition, I also hope that Master Hokage can select four or five outstanding Jonin to station Stay in the Rainbow Country and help us, who have no military power, establish a standardized ninja village."
"No problem." Kakashi pointed to a brown-covered letter on the table, and said: "Master Daimyo has agreed and informed me, and told me to assist you with all my strength. Moreover, before Sakura finished Rainbow When returning to the village from the country mission, I was notified in advance."
"Really?" Xin Liuxiu stared slightly, "Originally, Father and the others just asked casually, but I didn't expect Sakura to be so thoughtful, and really asked Mr. Hokage for instructions in advance." The corner of his mouth hooked up. Arc, whispered to himself: "From this point of view, we must repay her well."
This sentence floated into Yumen's ears, he immediately lowered his face, and said coldly, "If it's your frivolous behavior just now, forget it."
Kakashi asked in surprise: "Just now? Have you already seen Sakura?"
Xinliu explained: "After entering Konoha Village, on the way to Hokage's office, I just passed by Konoha Hospital, so I stopped by to visit her. After all, she broke the crisis of usurping the throne by the Sato clan during the father's enthronement ceremony. ;This time I came to Muye Village, my mother told me repeatedly that I must meet her more often when I get here."
"So Sakura made such a great contribution in Rainbow Country? She didn't mention it at all when she came back..." Kakashi glanced at Sasuke who had been sitting in the corner as the "Hokage Guard", and deliberately raised his eyebrows. Voice, emphatically: "That child is so gentle and considerate, always silently guarding and helping others, but never revealing anything."
"Yeah... Sakura is indeed a rare and excellent female ninja..." Shinryu frowned slightly, and suggested to Kakashi half-jokingly: "It would be great if Sakura could be my bodyguard during the Konoha period." gone."
"Unfortunately, an important person in Konoha Hospital has traveled far away recently. Sakura has several jobs, and I'm afraid the time can't be arranged." Kakashi patted Mimon on the shoulder trustingly, " Don't worry, Yumen is an excellent elite ninja in the village, and he is best at guarding missions. You will not be disappointed if he accompany you on this trip in Konoha."
Xin Liu glanced at the imperial gate in front of the desk, since he started chatting with Hokage, he seemed to be standing there straight, without moving too much, his resolute face was full of indifference, it was extremely boring!
"When I was in the Rainbow Kingdom, I knew that Yumen was very good, and my father also admired him very much. But..." Xin Liu paused, shrugged, and said with a smile: "Compared to him who always keeps a straight face ...Or Sakura can add more fun to this visit."
Kakashi had a smile on his eyes, and echoed Shinryu's words, "That's right, Sakura is quite popular in the village, no matter in character or appearance, normal men wouldn't choose Mimon." He looked at Yumen, and asked jokingly: "Even Yumen himself, wouldn't he choose his own?" Although it was a joking remark, it hit Yumen's heart, and his ears felt hot in an instant up.But since the other party was Hokage, he couldn't refute or stop, so he could only pretend he didn't hear it, and stood stiffly, with his eyes drifting out of the window.
Xinliu suddenly became interested in his reaction, smiled "haha" gloatingly, and then teased Yumen: "Speaking of which, before leaving, Xiaoying also gave Yumen a bunch of pills to relieve the heat, which is really enviable... ...Obviously I was the one who went to visit her, but she didn't even give me a gift." The unwilling tone was full of exaggeration and affectation, which made the muscles at the corners of Yumen's mouth twitch slightly, but the sullen look turned from embarrassment into anger There was a flash across his face, and he only took a deep breath before regaining his composure, and continued to stand on the spot indifferently and indifferently.
However, Sasuke was shaken by what Shinryu said just now.In that seemingly unintentional joke, every word was like a sharp needle, piercing his ears and penetrating into his heart, causing a faint pain.
Before that, he knew that Xiao Ying had decided to draw a clear line with himself, and the eyes that only stayed on him in the past, full of admiration and obsession, would no longer exist; now she can freely choose to associate with anyone .
However, when she gave him that gift in the morning and blushed and said it was specially made for him, Sasuke still felt uncontrollably happy in his heart.He vaguely believed that the gift meant that even if he could only face her as "Yitai" now, even if she no longer liked him, he could still be treated specially by her and stand in front of her with an irreplaceable status. Take a place in your heart.
Ironically, his hope was overturned after only half a day.
She gave the same gift to Yumen again!
Doesn't this mean that her unique support that he once enjoyed as a matter of course has really been completely lost now... His position in her heart is gradually being replaced by Yumen...
Under the mask, the blood-red Sharingan quickly turned, and Sasuke looked gloomyly at the gate not far away.
In an instant, he finally understood why every time he saw that person's face, he couldn't help feeling anxious and bored.Although Yumen once targeted him in that mission in the Rainbow Kingdom, he didn't take those words of hidden hostility to heart at all; what really bothered him was the sense of crisis that Yumen brought him. A possibility that would replace him at any time and occupy Sakura's heart.
Now, this sense of crisis is gradually being fulfilled; and this situation was caused by him alone, and he has no way to stop it, perhaps, he is also powerless to stop it...
The right hand placed under the table had long been clenched into a fist. Due to excessive force, the blue veins on the back of Sasuke's hand were clearly protruding, and the knuckles were pinched white.A heart, like a falling stone on the edge of a cliff, falls straight and irreversibly into the dark abyss of loss...
Sensing Sasuke's anomaly, Kakashi quickly guessed that perhaps what Shinryu had just said about Sakura violated his minefield.It seemed that someone's emotions started to fluctuate again because of the gift.To be on the safe side, let's clear the scene before Sasuke becomes even more unhappy.
Kakashi sighed secretly, and said goodbye to Xin Liu politely: "Then, during the time Xin Liu-kun is in Muye Village, let's take a good look at the various institutions first. After you have collected enough information, And we have a preliminary idea of establishing Ninja Village, let's talk about cooperation in detail." Then, he raised his eyebrows and patted Yumen's shoulder with a happy face, "Yumen, this important guest is in Konoha Village. I will entrust you with the guard mission during the period."
It was getting late, and the meaning of seeing off guests in the Sixth Hokage's words was so obvious, and Xin Liu had no intention of staying.He politely said a few words of thanks for the hospitality, and then followed Yumen away.
As soon as the two of them stepped out of the door, there was a tense silence in the office. Sasuke released a low air of displeasure, even though it was a few meters away, Kakashi could feel it personally.
"It seems...it's time to get off work?"
No way, who calls himself a teacher?No matter how difficult Sasuke is to serve, he can't just let his negative emotions go.What's more, his attitude towards Sakura finally improved. In order to complete Sakura's relationship, he can't let Sasuke's attitude go back to the starting point because of this trivial matter.
Kakashi planned to enlighten the awkward disciple in front of him, so he pretended to be relaxed and suggested: "Today's work has also ended smoothly, anyway, we both have no other arrangements for the night, why don't we invite Naruto to join us?" Have a meal? I know a good izakaya, which is a good place to relax after work." There was a little concern in the understatement, and there was a bit of pain like a severed wrist...
It's a pity that the other party didn't respond in any words. The red-striped fox face mask slowly turned to look at him, and there was no emotion in those empty eye sockets.
After a few more seconds of silence, Sasuke finally stood up and walked straight towards him.
"Eh?... What's wrong?" Kakashi stared blankly with surprise on his face.
Still no answer.Sasuke walked right past him and walked to the window behind the desk.
"Wait, you...!?" A bad premonition emerged from the bottom of his heart, and Kakashi stretched out his hand to stop Sasuke's next move.But after all, he was a step too late, and Sasuke let out a self-deprecating chuckle from under the mask. He raised his arm, and threw the bottle in his hand far out of the window.
Kakashi was like that, watching the red medicine bottle carefully prepared by Sakura, with her family crest printed on it, drawing a long arc under the blue sky and disappearing into the lush woods behind the building .
He turned his head, frowned angrily, and shouted at Sasuke sharply: "That is a gift specially given to you by Sakura. It doesn't matter whether you are Sasuke or Itai now, as long as you accept this kindness, you should cherish it, right? !?"
Hearing this, Sasuke smiled coldly.
Yes, Haruno Sakura's heart.
Once, her heart that belonged to him alone was gone.Now, no matter how much she puts her heart in front of him, it can't compare to before.
If you want him to share a touch with others, then he would rather not want anything.
"It was something she gave me. I can do whatever I want with it."
Answering this sentence, Sasuke felt a piece of emptiness in his heart instantly. The throbbing and ups and downs of the previous few days all dissipated like clouds and smoke, and his state of mind returned to the state he had when he was traveling, or even earlier—calm , confused, as silent as stagnant water, but... nothing to worry about...
The author has something to say:
Because there are too many things this week, and I am a little bit stuck, so I haven't updated for a week~
Let the friends who reminded me wait for a long time, don't worry everyone, I will never cheat.
In order to make up for everyone, I wrote Yumen's psychological drama very carefully in this chapter, and after writing it, I really like him...
In addition, I would like to share with you an interesting horse catch that I heard recently, which is based on the background of Naruto's limited monthly reading world, with Sa Sakura as the center.
super funny! ! !The official idea is too big. In addition to Sakura, there are also plots of Naruzakura, Sakura, and Sakura. With such a setting, the fan can only kneel every minute...
"NARUTO THE MOVIE NINJA ROAD DRAMAROADTOCHARASUKE"
If any friends have heard it, please don't complain about "the Qing Dynasty is dead"...
PS: The few words Er Shao confessed to Sakura have been intercepted by me and used as ringtones! !Noriaki Sugiyama's voice is deadly! ! !
The corners of Sakura's mouth twitched, she waved her hands and did not respond, wishing from the bottom of her heart that she would not see those "patients" who were moaning without illness again.
"I don't know, do I have a chance to pursue Dr. Haruno?" The door of the consulting room was open, and just as the last patient left, an elegant and clear voice came from the other side of the door, with a few hints in his tone. Very frivolous.
Xiao Ying raised her head and looked at the people who entered the consultation room, she was taken aback for a moment, then put on a friendly smile, and greeted: "Xin Liu-jun, why are you here?"
Hearing Sakura's greeting, Fukuyama Shinryu answered in a nonchalant manner, "Of course I miss you." Then he opened his arms excitedly and strode straight to Sakura, making a gesture to hug her.
Xiao Sakura smiled and was about to turn around to escape, but the other party was grabbed by the collar by Yumen who came in later, and she was pulled back two steps abruptly.
"Yumen is here too?" It was beyond her expectation that these two people would appear together in Konoha Hospital.
Yumen, who just finished the mission, looks capable and energetic, with a bright red complexion in his slightly dark complexion, and his dark eyes are still so cold, but the piercing eyes shot out of them just touched Sakura , immediately softened a bit.
"My task this time is to escort Konoha, Fukuyama Xinliu." Probably because he was in a hurry and didn't drink much water, his deep voice was hoarse and dry, "As soon as he entered the village, Xinliu said I want to come to the hospital to see you. So, I came with him. "
Xiao Sakura gave a sudden oh, and responded in a warm voice: "The task is hard." Then, she turned around and poured a glass of water, handed it to Yumen, and added, "Welcome back."
"Well, I'm back." Hearing this ordinary greeting, Yumen's heart seemed to be poked by a feather, crisp and itchy.In the half month since he left, when he was resting during the mission, he would occasionally think of Sakura.However, that sour and sweet feeling was too disturbing, so every time the figure of Sakura appeared in his mind, he would restrain himself from further memories, and try to clear his mind.
Now, Xiao Ying is standing in front of him, he no longer has to deliberately suppress the strong emotional stimulation brought by her image, and let his gaze take her into his eyes.That smile seemed to be a gust of cool breeze, blowing away the sweltering heat, and also swept away Yumen's fatigue from the task.
Xinliu struggled a few times, and broke free from Yumen's grasping hand, and protested with a handsome face: "Hey, Yumen, you dragged me like this on purpose to get ahead of me. Greetings Sakura, aren't you a bit too cunning?"
"Don't forget, I brought you here because you promised not to trouble Haruno." Yumen reminded with a cold face.
"Is this an inconvenience? I just want to express the joy of reunion with a hug!" Xin Liu winked at Sakura, her face was full of intimacy, "Seeing me, Sakura, are you surprised? ah?"
I never really expected you to come to Konoha Village, so what a surprise... Xiao Sakura didn't want to dampen Xinliu's enthusiasm for this visit, so she replaced the answer with a perfunctory smile, and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Master Fukuyama How are you and Mrs.?"
When performing missions before, Fukuyama and his wife, as clients, took care of her in many ways and loved her very much; now, it has been a long time since she left the Rainbow Country, but when she thinks of the amiable behavior of the two, Sakura still feels that Indescribably close.
When mentioning his parents far away, Xin Liu's expression and tone also restrained a little, and he replied solemnly: "Very good. After my father successfully ascended the throne, he implemented some new policies. Under his control, the relevant reform measures are being carried out in an orderly manner. Push forward; Mother is the same as before, managing the internal affairs of Rainbow City, and when she is free occasionally, she will help elder brother find a blind date or something."
"Hey——Mr. Taiyi has started a blind date? That's really gratifying. I hope he can choose the person he likes as soon as possible." Although he didn't have much interaction with the serious and serious young master of the Rainbow Kingdom, he also He had been warmly received by him before, so when she said these words, Sakura's tone was full of sincere blessings.
"Yeah, big brother has started to enter a new stage of life, but I don't even have a date." Xinliu said, a pair of charming peach blossom eyes passed by Xiaoying, and her right hand kissed Xiaoying intimately. Towards her shoulders.However, without even touching his clothes, his hand was stopped by the imperial gate behind him.
"Xin Liu-kun is so popular and good at making girls happy, why don't you worry about not being able to find someone to associate with?" Afraid that Xin Liu would extend his hand again, Xiao Ying took a step back with a smile, and distanced herself from him.
"Don't mention it, since I was sent to stay in the Land of Fire two months ago, I have been busy with work and entertainment every day, and I have no time to go out and play, let alone date girls." Xin Liu sighed for a long time Take a breath.
Xiao Sakura took a closer look at Xin Liu's face, there was indeed a bit of tiredness in the fair and translucent complexion, and the eyes that used to be full of energy were also stained with thin red blood.She couldn't help but feel distressed. The person in front of her had been living a pampered life, but she was suddenly entrusted with the heavy responsibility of the country's diplomacy and left her hometown. From then on, he will face all the hardships and pressures alone...
Feeling soft, Sakura graciously comforted her and said, "You have just taken over Mr. Fukuyama's foreign affairs, so you will naturally be busy. After a while, you will be familiar with everything in the Land of Fire, and you will definitely feel more relaxed."
"I hope, now I can only comfort myself in this way."
"By the way, Mr. Xinliu, you haven't said yet, why did you come to Muye Village this time?"
"Did you forget?" Hearing this question, Xinliu regained his energy and said with a playful smile: "You promised that if I come to Muye Village as a guest, you will accompany me on a date. I will come to you to fulfill the promise gone."
Although Xinliu is a bit willful and frivolous, the purpose of his trip is absolutely impossible to simply miss her, or to find her on a date.Thinking of this, Sakura raised her eyebrows, and followed his words and asked: "So, Yumen's mission is to go to the Fire City on purpose this time, and then pick you up for a date in Konoha?" The tone implied With a bit of sarcasm, she sighed lightly and continued: "Forget it, it's not convenient for you to reveal the truth, so I won't force it."
"No, no, it's nothing inconvenient to disclose. I just wanted to joke with you just now, just to remind you, don't forget the date promise you promised me before." Xinliu explained with a smile: "This time I came to Konoha for Discuss with the Sixth Generation Hokage about the establishment of Ninja Village. As you know, my father and Uncle Sato have always wanted to invite a few powerful Konoha Jami Ninja to stay in the Rainbow Country so that they can help train new Ninja Village in our country. A regulated and reliable ninja army."
Sakura recalled that Mr. Sato had told her about this when she left the Rainbow Country, and asked her to convey this intention to Mr. Kakashi.At that time, Mr. Kakashi's answer to her was "follow the arrangement of the daimyo". I don't know what answer he will give when Shinryu comes to visit this time.
"When you were in the Fire City, did the daimyo agree to this matter?" Sakura asked worriedly.
"Of course." Xinliu half-closed her sly eyes, and replied proudly: "This is a good thing for mutual benefit, and, with my excellent eloquence, the daimyo of the Land of Fire naturally readily agreed. .”
Is it mutually beneficial...?The affiliated wealthy small country wants to break away from the military protection of the Fire Nation and build its own army.With that adult's heart, I am afraid that he is not broad enough to view this matter so openly.Behind this, he has other precautions that are unknown...
I muttered this in my heart, but it was inconvenient to express such speculations to foreign visitors.With a smile on her face, Sakura only congratulated Xinliu and asked, "Have you met Mr. Kakashi?"
"Not yet." Xinliu shook his head, and suddenly leaned in front of Sakura, and the distance between the two suddenly shrank to less than a foot, "I just arrived here, and I couldn't wait to see you first. How about it, isn't it very touching?"
Sakura smiled and looked back at the pair of bright but alluring pupils in front of her.She didn't know why Xin Liu came to her first, but she vaguely sensed that he definitely didn't just want to see her.
Yumen, who was standing by the side, was extremely displeased to see Xinliu always making some small moves, trying to get in touch with Sakura more intimately.He grabbed Xinliu back to his side, and reminded in a deep voice: "Okay, let's stop talking here. It's time to find Master Hokage."
"But I feel like the two of us have just started talking..." As he spoke, Xin Liu glanced at the clock on the wall, and found that the remaining time to visit Hokage was really running out, so he could only swallow the rest of the words in his stomach, lightly He licked his lips and said: "Sakura, I will stay in Konoha for a while, and I will find time to come to you when the time comes. You must remember to spare time and go on a date with me."
Sakura pouted, noncommittal, "It depends on my time and mood."
After dealing with Xinliu, she suddenly remembered something, her tone became concerned, and she raised her eyes to the person behind Xinliu and asked, "Yumen, have you visited Xiaoxing?"
"I haven't had time to see him yet. However, Kyonosuke went to find Xiaoxing as soon as he returned to the village just now. After escorting Xinliu to the place where he lives, I will go to the consultation room to meet the two brothers and pick them up Let's go have dinner together." Yumen smiled softly, and the sharp-edged facial features were immediately softened to become more handsome. "During the time I was away, Xiao Xing thanked you for taking care of me."
Why are the recent Yumen so polite, and I can't get used to it all of a sudden... Sakura waved her hand, and replied cautiously: "There is nothing to worry about, Xiaoxing is so cute, it doesn't make people worry at all. Besides, how much Playing with the children in the treatment room is what I should do." While speaking to Yumen, she raised her head and noticed an unusually red and swollen area on the other's neck, alternating red and white in patches, It extends from behind the ears to the collarbone, and then spreads to the entire upper arm of the left and right hands.
"Are you sunburned?" Sakura's questioning voice suddenly rose a few degrees.
Yumen stroked his neck and replied without hesitation: "Oh, it's all right. It's just a little peeling off."
"Sunburned such a large area of skin, how can it be all right!?" Sakura hurriedly reached into the medical bag to search, and found a small bag of special cooling pills inside, which was given to "Yitai" this morning after the rest.Originally, she planned to give it to Dr. Iwasaki for use in case of a child suffering from heatstroke; considering that these Qingliang pills are specially made and have relatively strong medicinal effects, they are not suitable for children, so she kept them.Now that Yumen is sunburned, this just happened to be needed, so she took it out and handed it to him, "This is a special Qingliang pill, which is more effective than ordinary ones. You take it back, and when you take a bath at night, it will melt on the In the water, it can relieve the pain of peeling skin after being sunburned, and it can also help your skin recover early."
Yumen didn't expect that she would be so concerned about her little injury, a warm current flowed through her heart immediately.He muttered "thank you" as he reached out to take the medicine pack from her.
When the fingertip was only a few centimeters away, Yumen couldn't help but raise his eyes, and secretly glanced at the person in front of him.She was standing so close to him, the fragrance from her pink-like spring cherry hair almost occupied all the air he inhaled into his nostrils, her eyelashes fluttered gently following the rhythm of her breath, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy. Full of friendly kindness.His heart beat wildly for a few times, and his outstretched fingers trembled slightly. After hesitating, he suddenly didn't dare to touch Sakura's hand.So he had no choice but to curl his fingers back, turn his hands into palms, and let Xiao Ying lightly put the medicine into his palm.
"That's great, I want it too." Xin Liu, who watched the scene quietly, finally yelled, reaching out to get the medicine in Yumen's hand, the latter quickly closed his palms and put the medicine back into his pocket .
Sakura smiled and said to Xinliu: "You don't need to be exposed to the sun for a long time, you don't need this." Seeing that he was vaguely disappointed, she added: "Don't worry, I promised Mrs. Fukuyama , as long as you need anything, I will be happy to dispense medicine for you at any time."
"...Sakura, you are so kind."
While Xinliu was talking, he couldn't help shaking his hand towards Sakura's, and Yumen quickly pulled it back, urging him with a straight face: "If you continue to dawdle like this, Master Hokage will be off work."
"...It was obviously you and Sakura who were there just now..."
Yumen glared at Xinliu, blocked the second half of his words abruptly, and then dragged him away without any resistance.
In order to hurry, the two hurried to Hokage's office.As soon as he entered the door, Yumen first submitted the report of the escort mission to Kakashi, and then introduced Shinryu to him.
"This is the second young master of the Rainbow Kingdom, Mr. Fukuyama Xinliu, right?"
In order to show his importance to the visitors, Kakashi got up and left his seat, walked up to Xin Liu, and warmly greeted him: "Welcome to Konoha Village, you have worked hard all the way."
"Yes. The previous arrangements for my father's return to the country to succeed me were thanks to Hokage-sama's meticulous arrangements. I am really grateful." Shinryu said polite words while quietly looking at Kakashi in front of him.Under the dark black mask, you can see the tough face lines and the high bridge of the nose. The dark black pupils are exposed, and the eyelids are slightly drooping. Although he looks a little careless, his eyes are clear and not dull , Refined and unsophisticated.
This person, maybe just like what Father said, can help us... Thinking of this, Xin Liu looked at him more sincerely, and praised him more fluently. "After the Ninja World War, I have always dreamed of coming to Konoha and meeting you who is known as the 'No. [-] Technician of Konoha' while I am young. In fact, before you took office as Hokage, I had already heard many legends about your strength and achievements; it can be said that you were a great motivation for me to leave my hometown and come to the country of Fire to serve as a diplomatic envoy. Now, I am really grateful to Hokage The fulfillment of the daimyo-sama and my father of the land of the country has made my dream come true so quickly; to see you with my own eyes, my trip is not in vain."
"Hahaha, Shinryu-kun, you are really good at talking." Maybe he was fed up with the pressure of work and Sasuke's indifference, but Kakashi felt very useful when he suddenly heard these compliments.He laughed heartily a few times, and his attitude towards him became intimate.
"No, it's all from the heart." Xin Liu replied solemnly.
Let's stop listening to what is pleasant to hear.Kakashi nodded in satisfaction, and cut to the point: "Xin Liu-kun came to Konoha from the Fire City this time to discuss with me about the establishment of the Ninja Village in the Rainbow Country?"
"Yes. I want to stay here for a while and visit Konoha's major military institutions as a reference for the prototype of the Ninja Village in the Rainbow Country; in addition, I also hope that Master Hokage can select four or five outstanding Jonin to station Stay in the Rainbow Country and help us, who have no military power, establish a standardized ninja village."
"No problem." Kakashi pointed to a brown-covered letter on the table, and said: "Master Daimyo has agreed and informed me, and told me to assist you with all my strength. Moreover, before Sakura finished Rainbow When returning to the village from the country mission, I was notified in advance."
"Really?" Xin Liuxiu stared slightly, "Originally, Father and the others just asked casually, but I didn't expect Sakura to be so thoughtful, and really asked Mr. Hokage for instructions in advance." The corner of his mouth hooked up. Arc, whispered to himself: "From this point of view, we must repay her well."
This sentence floated into Yumen's ears, he immediately lowered his face, and said coldly, "If it's your frivolous behavior just now, forget it."
Kakashi asked in surprise: "Just now? Have you already seen Sakura?"
Xinliu explained: "After entering Konoha Village, on the way to Hokage's office, I just passed by Konoha Hospital, so I stopped by to visit her. After all, she broke the crisis of usurping the throne by the Sato clan during the father's enthronement ceremony. ;This time I came to Muye Village, my mother told me repeatedly that I must meet her more often when I get here."
"So Sakura made such a great contribution in Rainbow Country? She didn't mention it at all when she came back..." Kakashi glanced at Sasuke who had been sitting in the corner as the "Hokage Guard", and deliberately raised his eyebrows. Voice, emphatically: "That child is so gentle and considerate, always silently guarding and helping others, but never revealing anything."
"Yeah... Sakura is indeed a rare and excellent female ninja..." Shinryu frowned slightly, and suggested to Kakashi half-jokingly: "It would be great if Sakura could be my bodyguard during the Konoha period." gone."
"Unfortunately, an important person in Konoha Hospital has traveled far away recently. Sakura has several jobs, and I'm afraid the time can't be arranged." Kakashi patted Mimon on the shoulder trustingly, " Don't worry, Yumen is an excellent elite ninja in the village, and he is best at guarding missions. You will not be disappointed if he accompany you on this trip in Konoha."
Xin Liu glanced at the imperial gate in front of the desk, since he started chatting with Hokage, he seemed to be standing there straight, without moving too much, his resolute face was full of indifference, it was extremely boring!
"When I was in the Rainbow Kingdom, I knew that Yumen was very good, and my father also admired him very much. But..." Xin Liu paused, shrugged, and said with a smile: "Compared to him who always keeps a straight face ...Or Sakura can add more fun to this visit."
Kakashi had a smile on his eyes, and echoed Shinryu's words, "That's right, Sakura is quite popular in the village, no matter in character or appearance, normal men wouldn't choose Mimon." He looked at Yumen, and asked jokingly: "Even Yumen himself, wouldn't he choose his own?" Although it was a joking remark, it hit Yumen's heart, and his ears felt hot in an instant up.But since the other party was Hokage, he couldn't refute or stop, so he could only pretend he didn't hear it, and stood stiffly, with his eyes drifting out of the window.
Xinliu suddenly became interested in his reaction, smiled "haha" gloatingly, and then teased Yumen: "Speaking of which, before leaving, Xiaoying also gave Yumen a bunch of pills to relieve the heat, which is really enviable... ...Obviously I was the one who went to visit her, but she didn't even give me a gift." The unwilling tone was full of exaggeration and affectation, which made the muscles at the corners of Yumen's mouth twitch slightly, but the sullen look turned from embarrassment into anger There was a flash across his face, and he only took a deep breath before regaining his composure, and continued to stand on the spot indifferently and indifferently.
However, Sasuke was shaken by what Shinryu said just now.In that seemingly unintentional joke, every word was like a sharp needle, piercing his ears and penetrating into his heart, causing a faint pain.
Before that, he knew that Xiao Ying had decided to draw a clear line with himself, and the eyes that only stayed on him in the past, full of admiration and obsession, would no longer exist; now she can freely choose to associate with anyone .
However, when she gave him that gift in the morning and blushed and said it was specially made for him, Sasuke still felt uncontrollably happy in his heart.He vaguely believed that the gift meant that even if he could only face her as "Yitai" now, even if she no longer liked him, he could still be treated specially by her and stand in front of her with an irreplaceable status. Take a place in your heart.
Ironically, his hope was overturned after only half a day.
She gave the same gift to Yumen again!
Doesn't this mean that her unique support that he once enjoyed as a matter of course has really been completely lost now... His position in her heart is gradually being replaced by Yumen...
Under the mask, the blood-red Sharingan quickly turned, and Sasuke looked gloomyly at the gate not far away.
In an instant, he finally understood why every time he saw that person's face, he couldn't help feeling anxious and bored.Although Yumen once targeted him in that mission in the Rainbow Kingdom, he didn't take those words of hidden hostility to heart at all; what really bothered him was the sense of crisis that Yumen brought him. A possibility that would replace him at any time and occupy Sakura's heart.
Now, this sense of crisis is gradually being fulfilled; and this situation was caused by him alone, and he has no way to stop it, perhaps, he is also powerless to stop it...
The right hand placed under the table had long been clenched into a fist. Due to excessive force, the blue veins on the back of Sasuke's hand were clearly protruding, and the knuckles were pinched white.A heart, like a falling stone on the edge of a cliff, falls straight and irreversibly into the dark abyss of loss...
Sensing Sasuke's anomaly, Kakashi quickly guessed that perhaps what Shinryu had just said about Sakura violated his minefield.It seemed that someone's emotions started to fluctuate again because of the gift.To be on the safe side, let's clear the scene before Sasuke becomes even more unhappy.
Kakashi sighed secretly, and said goodbye to Xin Liu politely: "Then, during the time Xin Liu-kun is in Muye Village, let's take a good look at the various institutions first. After you have collected enough information, And we have a preliminary idea of establishing Ninja Village, let's talk about cooperation in detail." Then, he raised his eyebrows and patted Yumen's shoulder with a happy face, "Yumen, this important guest is in Konoha Village. I will entrust you with the guard mission during the period."
It was getting late, and the meaning of seeing off guests in the Sixth Hokage's words was so obvious, and Xin Liu had no intention of staying.He politely said a few words of thanks for the hospitality, and then followed Yumen away.
As soon as the two of them stepped out of the door, there was a tense silence in the office. Sasuke released a low air of displeasure, even though it was a few meters away, Kakashi could feel it personally.
"It seems...it's time to get off work?"
No way, who calls himself a teacher?No matter how difficult Sasuke is to serve, he can't just let his negative emotions go.What's more, his attitude towards Sakura finally improved. In order to complete Sakura's relationship, he can't let Sasuke's attitude go back to the starting point because of this trivial matter.
Kakashi planned to enlighten the awkward disciple in front of him, so he pretended to be relaxed and suggested: "Today's work has also ended smoothly, anyway, we both have no other arrangements for the night, why don't we invite Naruto to join us?" Have a meal? I know a good izakaya, which is a good place to relax after work." There was a little concern in the understatement, and there was a bit of pain like a severed wrist...
It's a pity that the other party didn't respond in any words. The red-striped fox face mask slowly turned to look at him, and there was no emotion in those empty eye sockets.
After a few more seconds of silence, Sasuke finally stood up and walked straight towards him.
"Eh?... What's wrong?" Kakashi stared blankly with surprise on his face.
Still no answer.Sasuke walked right past him and walked to the window behind the desk.
"Wait, you...!?" A bad premonition emerged from the bottom of his heart, and Kakashi stretched out his hand to stop Sasuke's next move.But after all, he was a step too late, and Sasuke let out a self-deprecating chuckle from under the mask. He raised his arm, and threw the bottle in his hand far out of the window.
Kakashi was like that, watching the red medicine bottle carefully prepared by Sakura, with her family crest printed on it, drawing a long arc under the blue sky and disappearing into the lush woods behind the building .
He turned his head, frowned angrily, and shouted at Sasuke sharply: "That is a gift specially given to you by Sakura. It doesn't matter whether you are Sasuke or Itai now, as long as you accept this kindness, you should cherish it, right? !?"
Hearing this, Sasuke smiled coldly.
Yes, Haruno Sakura's heart.
Once, her heart that belonged to him alone was gone.Now, no matter how much she puts her heart in front of him, it can't compare to before.
If you want him to share a touch with others, then he would rather not want anything.
"It was something she gave me. I can do whatever I want with it."
Answering this sentence, Sasuke felt a piece of emptiness in his heart instantly. The throbbing and ups and downs of the previous few days all dissipated like clouds and smoke, and his state of mind returned to the state he had when he was traveling, or even earlier—calm , confused, as silent as stagnant water, but... nothing to worry about...
The author has something to say:
Because there are too many things this week, and I am a little bit stuck, so I haven't updated for a week~
Let the friends who reminded me wait for a long time, don't worry everyone, I will never cheat.
In order to make up for everyone, I wrote Yumen's psychological drama very carefully in this chapter, and after writing it, I really like him...
In addition, I would like to share with you an interesting horse catch that I heard recently, which is based on the background of Naruto's limited monthly reading world, with Sa Sakura as the center.
super funny! ! !The official idea is too big. In addition to Sakura, there are also plots of Naruzakura, Sakura, and Sakura. With such a setting, the fan can only kneel every minute...
"NARUTO THE MOVIE NINJA ROAD DRAMAROADTOCHARASUKE"
If any friends have heard it, please don't complain about "the Qing Dynasty is dead"...
PS: The few words Er Shao confessed to Sakura have been intercepted by me and used as ringtones! !Noriaki Sugiyama's voice is deadly! ! !
