[Hokage] Thank you for loving me

Seeing "Yitai" brave the wind and rain, turn around and walk back again, Sakura's face was slightly embarrassed: She already has an umbrella, and she continues to hide in the pavilion and does not go out, is it a bit of a waste of others' intention to give the umbrella specially?

Lowering her head guiltily, she hugged the umbrella tightly in her arms, and she replied guiltily: "The rain is still too heavy, I'll leave later."

As soon as the words fell, a bolt of lightning, like a dancing silver snake, landed in the woods behind the Hokage office building, illuminating the bushes and leaves that were ravaged by the strong wind, showing a posture of claws and teeth; It sounded right above the square, as if shaking the ground under her feet, making Sakura tremble.

"Hey, this thunder came without warning." Not wanting to expose her fear in front of "Yitai", and not wanting him to continue to waste time in the heavy rain for her own sake, Sakura tried to calm down, and restrained herself in a blink of an eye. With a frightened look, he smiled unnaturally in a forced arc.

"Yitai" raised her head sideways, looked at the dark sky, and didn't respond to her words.

"You don't have to worry about me. I'll just stand in the pavilion and go home when the rain subsides. You see, it's so dark around here and the road is slippery. It's really inconvenient to walk in the heavy rain now. After explaining the reason why she didn't go home immediately after taking the umbrella, she added: "By the way, thank you for the umbrella. After all, there is still a distance from my house. Even if the rain becomes lighter later, if I don’t have an umbrella in my hand, so if I go home in the rain like this, I’m sure I’ll catch a cold.” Of course, Baihao’s body doesn’t necessarily catch a cold once in a while; The umbrella sent was very timely and very useful.

He babbled to express his thanks, but "Yi Tai" still looked at her quietly and didn't reply.

This attitude of ignoring herself after talking to her made Sakura frowned slightly, and began to wonder what his intentions were when he turned around and walked back.

"...Do you have anything else to do?" She carefully raised her doubts.

This time, "Yitai" finally reacted.After he shook his head slightly in denial, he said lightly:

"Come on, I'll take you home."

……! ??

He didn't go back to the nearby office, but planned to brave the storm and take a long way to send her home?Sakura was instantly touched by this thoughtful kindness.But being moved was not enough to overcome her fear of lightning and thunder outside.

Alas... I don't want to go back now...

So, he waved his hand and declined politely: "Thank you for your kindness, I'm really fine, I don't need to trouble you."

But Yitai didn't seem to hear her answer, she turned sideways and stopped looking at her.Just like that, he quietly raised his umbrella and waited one step away, silently asking her to go with him as if he couldn't refuse.

Lines of raindrops slapped on his umbrella, and from time to time, a few wisps of rainwater, wrapped by the strong wind, drifted obliquely into the umbrella, and fell on his bare arms on both sides, on his black tunic, and On already soaked, slightly discolored boots.In this situation, even though she was a little unhappy about the strength of the other party, and a little afraid of the storm outside, Sakura felt that she should not stand here any longer; otherwise, it would be too unhuman.

"Then let's go." She sighed secretly and said as if admitting defeat.Then, mustering up the courage, took the first step into the heavy rain.

The moment he was about to get under the umbrella of "Yitai", he suddenly took a big step back and moved the umbrella away from Sakura's head.

"Don't you have an umbrella in your hand?" He said coldly, reminding her.

Xiao Ying's face was hot immediately, she quickly opened the umbrella in her hand, raised it above her head, and explained in a panic: "Sorry, I forgot for a while."

On the way to Sakura's house, the two didn't speak again.On the one hand, because they are not very familiar with each other, on the other hand, because the surrounding environment is too noisy, the sound of crashing rain, whistling wind and dull thunder are intertwined, even if separated by an umbrella , and can't hear the other party's voice clearly,

How embarrassing...

Walking on the empty street, in the silent atmosphere, Sakura couldn't help but think of the scene where she took the initiative to get under the opponent's umbrella just now, wishing she could find a puddle and bury her head in it.

Annoyed in this way, she took a peek at "Yitai" next to her. The other party was holding a dark blue tissue fan steadily at this time, standing upright as usual, walking vigorously step by step. In this dark and windy weather , did not show the slightest bit of embarrassment.Xiao Sakura's heart became hot, and she clenched her fists, determined to talk to him about something.Because, if she didn't say anything, she seemed to be oppressed by the dull atmosphere between each other and her inner regret.

Just as he was about to speak, a huge lightning bolt tore through the sky and struck a big tree not far ahead. In an instant, the dark promenade was illuminated like daylight

Sakura stood still in shock, and screamed "Ah--".Immediately afterwards, when she noticed Yitai's suspicious gaze beside her, she quickly covered her mouth, pretending to be calm and teasing: "It's so dangerous, it almost fell on us."

Tai Yi stopped, turned her head to stare at her trembling hands, and then sighed softly after a while, and said: "It's okay..." There was a trace of comforting tenderness in the plain tone.

It's okay, I will protect you.

Sasuke's first thought was to answer Sakura in this way, but after recalling the gift incident, the constraint of "keep a distance from Haruno Sakura" set by himself, he held back the second half of the sentence.

"Yi Tai, aren't you afraid of lightning?" Hearing that "Yi Tai" actually responded to her, Sakura hurriedly took this opportunity to chat with him, not only to ease each other's embarrassment, but also to alleviate her own fear.

"No." Under the mask, Sasuke snorted silently - something like lightning that he could freely control was not threatening to him at all.

"That's great..." Now that there is a response, let's continue the chat.Seeing that the atmosphere has improved, Xiao Sakura took advantage of the situation and confessed to her companions: "I can't do it anymore, in fact, I—"

"boom--"

Following the lightning just now, the deafening thunder interrupted Sakura's words, and sounded above the heads of the two of them.After the loud noise, the dull reverberation was still echoing in the distant mountains and woods all around. Sakura was so frightened that she held her breath, her face turned ashen, and suddenly she couldn't speak anymore.

I don't know how long it took, and when she finally calmed down, she continued tremblingly: "Actually, I'm a little scared of lightning and thunder..." Eyelashes fluttered constantly, Bitong moved in a panic, and her voice It was also getting smaller and smaller, but finally insisted on finishing this sentence with "Yitai".

Listening to Sakura's words and seeing her frightened appearance, Sasuke's heart softened uncontrollably.But soon, the shackles of self-restraint imprisoned the tender thoughts that were about to spread in his heart.

If she didn't transfer her love to others;

If he hadn't rejected her so severely three months ago;

Then, based on the ambiguous relationship between the two of them in the beginning, he would definitely hold her in his arms and comfort her at this moment.

Unfortunately, everything is too late...

Sasuke's heart shivered, he silently took off the dagger on his back, and stretched it out in front of Sakura.

Sakura looked up at him puzzled, "This is...?"

"Hold it." Sasuke tried to make his tone more natural, "Aren't you afraid? I'll take you away."

Yes, if you want to appease the frightened her, this step is enough.I can't have too much contact with her, otherwise I will uncontrollably fall into the tangled and unclear emotions before.

Haruno Sakura has already walked out, why should he dig his own grave and jump into it...

Is this a substitute for holding hands?That's right, in this stormy sky, if someone is with you, if you can hold something in your hand, when lightning and thunder arrive without warning, at least it can relieve the shock.Yitai adopted such a method, which not only calmed her fear, but also kept an appropriate contact distance with her.

A warm current surged, and Sasuke tried his best to restrain his overly intimate contact with her because of inner entanglement. In Sakura's view, everything became a considerate behavior that was neither frivolous nor overreaching, and he readily accepted this "kindness" .

She gently held the other end of the sword with her hand.The surface of the iron scabbard was already icy cold by the wind, but holding it in her hand, Sakura felt extremely warm.

The two were like this, one in front of the other, in the wind and rain, walking with their own thoughts.

When Sakura arrived at the door, the rain showed no signs of abating.She was suddenly very lucky to be able to follow "Yitai" all the way back, instead of staying in the pavilion, foolishly hoping that the rain would subside.

"Thank you for sending me back." Sakura let go of the warm katana in her hand, and thanked "Ita" softly.

"Yitai" nodded her head lightly, accepting her thanks.Then, without saying goodbye to her, or even waiting for her to turn around and enter the house, he put the sword back on his back, and walked into the rain again holding an umbrella.

Sakura looked at his figure that faded away and finally disappeared into the wind and rain, tilted her head, and wondered to herself curiously: Why does Yitai know where my home is? ...

The author has something to say:

Don't you feel very warm? ? ? ? ?

Still, I want to keep yelling "Why Maui is still interacting with Sakura!"

……Uh……
