[Hokage] Thank you for loving me

Opening her eyes wide, she looked at Sasuke carefully, and Sakura felt that the person in front of her looked the same as she did three months ago, except that her speech was a bit weird.

In order to alleviate the inexplicable embarrassment, Sakura tried her best to talk with him as usual, "Sasuke-kun, you just came back, haven't you met Mr. Kakashi yet?"

"...I've seen it before."

"So soon?" Surprised by Sasuke's whereabouts, Sakura asked again with concern: "Then how long do you plan to stay in the village when you come back this time?"

"I don't know." Sasuke kept his eyes on Sakura, and replied with a tone of expectation, "It depends."

"Ah? Do you have to decide the length of time you stay in the village according to the mission?" Sakura couldn't understand Sasuke's hint at all, and sighed to herself: "I really hope you can stay in the village longer, In this way, several people in our seventh class can get together; maybe, we may have the opportunity to perform a task together or something."

The memory of a few months ago is still vivid, Sakura grinned at Sasuke, "The experience of cooperating with Sasuke-kun in the escort mission in the rainbow country last time was really pleasant." After finishing speaking, She flicked her forehead hair, and found that the bun tied behind her head was a bit loose and messy under Miyagawa's tugging, so Sakura simply took it apart, combed it with her hands, and tidied it up again.

Seeing the mention of Rainbow Country, Sakura's tone and demeanor were so calm, Sasuke felt a little strange, and then decided to follow this topic and withdraw his original refusal, in order to win back Sakura's heart.

"Sakura, what happened three months ago...I'm sorry."

"Eh? Why did Sasuke-kun apologize?" Sakura asked doubtfully while brushing up the broken hair at the back of her head.

Looking at the strands of pink soft hair scattered on Sakura's fair and thin neck, Sasuke was in a state of mind, and for a moment he forgot to investigate the abnormality in Sakura's question, and only answered frankly: "Because, I don't want You... feel sad again."

"Sad? When you were in the Rainbow Country, you were willing to assist us in carrying out missions together. It was too late for me to thank you. How could you be sad?" Sakura listened to the words of apology because she had no memory of being rejected by Sasuke at all. , so she naturally thought that it referred to the various harms Sasuke had done to herself when she defected from the village in the past; thinking of his recent help, she was even more convinced that Sasuke was atonement to her out of guilt.

Not wanting to become the target of Sasuke's atonement and increase his burden, Sakura persuaded earnestly: "Sasuke-kun, don't worry about me because of the past... Just like just now, you don't need to help me at all. My, I can handle such a small crisis by myself. From now on, please be free and don't have to do anything for me anymore. "

Is this drawing a line with yourself?Sasuke felt a chill in his heart, and asked, "...why?"

"Of course it's because we are companions!" Sakura smiled heartily, and replied sincerely: "What is needed between companions is not an apology and compensation, but trust. Sasuke-kun, you have to trust my strength. I myself If you make a move, you can easily get rid of Mr. Miyagawa; but once you make a move, you will be too eye-catching. Sasuke-kun, you have just returned to the village, so it's better to keep a low profile..." Otherwise, let the matter go in the village If you get into trouble, Lord Xiaochun and Lord Menyan will have even more prejudice against you.

Xiao Ying babbled a lot, just because she didn't want him to help her again.Sasuke felt extremely harsh when he heard it, so he interrupted her and replied in a deep voice: "Stop talking, I am willing to do these things for you."

Sakura was taken aback for a moment, then blushed involuntarily, and shouted: "Ah—hate it!" Patting Sasuke on the back, she rarely said angrily: "Sasuke-kun, you have been traveling for so long, how did you become so good at it?" Speak!"

If the former Sakura heard Sasuke's confession, she would be happy for a long time; but now the relationship between Sasuke and her, in her opinion, is no different from the relationship between her and Naruto, and may even be a little stranger Therefore, Sakura still acquiesced that his almost confessional words were out of companionship.

"Speaking of which, when Sasuke-kun saved me just now, what he said was super cool!"

"……What's the meaning?"

Sakura tilted her head, thinking in bewilderment, "It's the literal meaning", and replied, "It's the words you deliberately said in order to make Miyagawa-san give up...?"

"Not on purpose, I just told him the truth." Sasuke corrected calmly.

fact?What fact?Sakura thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "Wait, Sasuke-kun, you won't even misunderstand you, right?"

Thinking to himself, "I finally understand why this reunion, Sasuke always looked at me a little strangely, it seems that I misunderstood that I like him", Xiao Sakura hurriedly explained to Sasuke, who had an increasingly ugly expression Get up, "It's true that I like you very much, but this is only limited to the likes among my companions. This time when you return to the village, Sasuke-kun, if you hear any strange rumors, don't take it to heart. I really just love you. A very ordinary companion's heart... there will be no such... more intimate feelings!" She raised her head and resolutely assured Sasuke: "I don't want you to misunderstand our relationship, I know, you have always hated it The girl is running after you. Don't worry, I will never let you bother!"

Sakura opened and closed her mouth full of "companions", which made Sasuke tightly lock her brows.He lowered his face, his black hair fell down, covering most of his expression, "...Sakura, don't you...don't like me?"

If Naruto or Sai had the liberty to ask her face to face, "Don't you like me?", Sakura would definitely wave her fist and retort bluntly, "It's only strange if you like me!".However, the one who asks this question today is Sasuke, the same Sasuke who used to be both egotistical and proud.Even though she didn't like him, she didn't want to refute him forcefully because she didn't want to hurt his self-esteem.

Xiao Ying swallowed nervously, trying not to hurt anyone, and replied softly: "Of course... I don't like it..."

However, this unhesitating answer still hurt Sasuke's heart.

When he came into contact with Sakura as "Yitai", he faintly sensed that she seemed to have really given up on him.But there was always a trace of luck in my heart, hoping that she would just follow her words of refusal and pretend to keep a distance from him.Now, hearing her statement with his own ears, Sasuke had to believe that Haruno Sakura in front of him really didn't like him anymore.

As if looking for the last evidence, Sasuke suddenly stretched out his hand, pressed on Sakura's shoulder, and pulled her in front of him.

He lowered his eyes and looked into the frank and peaceful bottom of the green pool of Sakura's pupils, but found that only his figure was reflected in it, but the scorching light that admired him in the past could not be reflected.

Why are these eyes so peaceful! ?

Why didn't she look at him obsessively like before?

Sasuke stared at her angrily, feeling an indescribable soreness and pain in his heart.

Sakura looked at Sasuke's cold face covered in frost, and then at the five slender fingers on her left shoulder. Gradually, she felt the force from the fingertips getting heavier and heavier.

Such Sasuke-kun looks so scary...

Instinctively, a chill surged up from the body, straight from the spine to the top of the head, Sakura shuddered greatly, she slumped her shoulders, and shook off Sasuke's strong hand.

"Sasuke-kun..." Smiling unnaturally at Sasuke, Sakura suggested, "How about we go to Mr. Kakashi and enjoy the fireworks with him?"

Sasuke tonight is really weird, she doesn't want to continue to be alone like this anymore; it's better to hold Kakashi-sensei, and let's reminisce about the old days and enjoy the fireworks together...

Such an understatement of rejecting Sasuke's touch made him even more annoyed.

Obviously, three months ago, he confessed to himself so heartbreakingly, why did he draw the boundary so clearly in the blink of an eye!Why can't I continue to like him and wait for him like before, even if I am rejected many times by myself?

The hand froze in mid-air like that, Sasuke slowly turned it over, staring at the blankness in the palm of his hand, the familiar feeling of being betrayed and abandoned in his childhood suddenly emerged, his heart seemed to be torn apart, and there was a burst of pain. After a burst of severe pain, the pupils in the eyes also began to burn and throb.

"Sasuke-kun, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that after she finished asking, Sasuke suddenly lowered her head, her right hand tightly covered her Samsara eyes, her shoulders trembled violently, as if she was suppressing something in pain, Sakura suddenly panicked in fright: Sasuke-kun, no Could it be that the eyes and body couldn't take it after the journey was tiring and I used "Susanoh" reluctantly?

"You don't look very well, let me inject some chakra for you?! Maybe you will feel better." Sakura stepped forward and was about to reach out to stroke his back, but Sasuke suddenly swung his right hand and She waved away.

"Don't come near me! Leave me alone—!"

The dark emotions eroded the heart, and the eyes seemed to be burning, and the pain was severe. Sasuke knew very well that this was a precursor to the violent loss of the pupil power of Sharingan.

He covered his eyes in pain, and couldn't bear to look at Sakura with his eyes that might break through the dangerous limit at any time, so he stumbled back a few steps, and disappeared in front of her in a blink of an eye.
