[Hokage] Thank you for loving me

On the second day after returning to Konoha from the City of Fire, Fukuyama Shinryu came to Konoha Hospital to visit Sakura excitedly.

"My lord has agreed to this list."

He took out a roster, with lines of names written neatly on it, there were about twenty of them, and Sakura glanced over and spotted her own.

Sensing her gaze, Xinliu pushed the roster forward, and asked if he would like to see who will work together in the Rainbow Country in the future. Sakura shook her head and replied with a smile, she should keep this surprise Until the day of departure.Therefore, Xinliu threw the roster to Yumen behind him and asked him to take it back.

"When are we going to leave?" Rather than who to leave with, the answer to the question of when is what Sakura is most concerned about right now.

"Because some ninjas are still performing missions outside, we have to wait for everyone to return to Konoha before we set out together." Xinliu replied: "However, Master Hokage promised to help me recall the roster within one month. All ninjas on board."

"One month? It seems that I have to hurry up."

"Enn, after all, Sakura is not only the most powerful medical ninja in Konoha Village, but also participates in the management of many affairs in the village. There should be a lot of work to be handed over." Xin Liu suddenly held her hand, speaking with pity Say: "But you must not force yourself. If you fall ill during this time, I will feel sorry for you."

The rhetoric comes out as soon as you open your mouth, so proficient that you can hardly feel any sincerity.Xiao Sakura withdrew her hand with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I am in good health, and I will never delay everyone's departure time."

"What are you talking about? You are questioning my sincerity and care for you!" Xin Liu took a big step forward, getting close to the distance of half a foot in front of Sakura, and her tone was exaggerated: "In my heart, Compared with the time of departure, of course it is more important that you don’t get tired.”

Yumen grabbed Xin Liu's back collar, pulled him abruptly, and said expressionlessly: "If you are really afraid that Haruno will be too tired, then stop talking nonsense here and delay her working time." After speaking, he grabbed Xin Liu and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute..." Ever since Yumen entered the door, Sakura wanted to ask him again what he said to Sasuke that night.Helpless, I never found a suitable opportunity to speak. Seeing that he was about to leave, I finally couldn't help crying out.

"What's the matter, does Sakura have anything else to say?" The two people at the door stopped at the same time and turned their heads.The one who asked first was naturally the talkative Xin Liu, while Yumen had a confused look on his face.

Sakura raised her eyes, looking at Yumen's eyes that were as black as night, with question marks shining, and suddenly felt that he looked particularly innocent and pitiful.If he brings up the embarrassing incident that night again, it will undoubtedly add salt to his wound; besides, if he is really willing to tell, he confessed it at the beginning. Answering the question will only embarrass him.

"No...it's nothing." Xiao Sakura waved her hand, swallowed the question, and added: "You two go slowly."

Probably guessing what Sakura was going to say, Yumen's eyes suddenly revealed light.He was silent for a while without saying anything, only leaving a sentence "Don't be too tired, take care of yourself", and then left with Xinliu.

After the conflict with Sasuke, Sakura only saw Yumen once, and then, work and work handover matters poured in like a mountain, and she was so busy that she had no time to breathe.Running around the hospital, the Hokage building, and the psychological consultation room all day long, I had no time to investigate the cause and effect of that night, let alone find Sasuke.

More than half a month passed, and autumn came quietly.

During this period, Naruto specially ran to Konoha Hospital and urged her to reconcile with Sasuke as soon as possible.

"Reconcile? The relationship between us hasn't broken down." Xiao Sakura replied while sorting out the mountain of past medical records on the table: "It was just a little friction that night, and it wasn't serious enough to cause a cold war or break up. " She smiled, and added in a low voice: "Besides, no one would dare to be angry with Sasuke-kun."

"Then why don't you go to him?" Naruto anxiously asked his most concerned question.

You should ask him why he didn't come to me?Xiao Ying suppressed her complaints, and replied: "I've been busy recently. After I've been busy for a while, I'll talk to him. If he still cares about what I did to him, at worst, I'll apologize first." .”

"Oh, no, no. I've already asked Sasuke, and he's not mad at you at all."

Heh, it turned out that the other party really believed that the fault was all on her!The corner of Sakura's mouth twitched twice, and said without any emotion: "That's really great."

Naruto chuckled, slapped his hands together suddenly, and shouted: "Since you are willing to talk to him, ask him out later, and let's go to Yile to eat ramen together. It's just a good time to chat while eating."

Thinking of seeing Sasuke's haughty appearance and dealing with his uncertain mood, Sakura's heart skipped a beat. "Let's talk about it another day!" She got up and pushed Naruto out of the door: "Don't worry about these messy things. Hinata is in the first trimester, and it is a critical period that needs careful care. If you have no tasks, no It's business, hurry back and accompany her."

"But……"

Pointing to the door with her hand "咻", Sakura shouted: "Don't be so bad! Go home quickly!" Naruto shuddered and ran out of her office in a hurry.

A few days after Naruto came, Ino also came to find Sakura.

"I heard that you are going to the Rainbow Country?" She rushed into Sakura's office in a hurry, opening her mouth as if to question. "I went to the psychological consultation room just now, and Dr. Iwasaki said that you have handed over all the documents to him. Are you leaving soon!?"

"It's about a week away." Sakura squatted in front of the locker, and packed the personal belongings inside into the storage box on the ground one by one, "Other members still have tasks, wait for the people on the list to complete the task The handover is complete, and there will be officials from the Rainbow Country to respond." Stopping the work in hand, she turned to Ino and said: "By the way, I will entrust you with some work on my side. When will you be free? , you find half a day to come to my office again, we two have a good handover."

Ino let out an "oh", then squatted down suddenly, moved to the side of Sakura, and asked, "...Have you seen Sasuke recently?"

"Yes, I met him on the street two days ago. Do you know that he is serving as the guard of the third princess?"

Ino nodded, and asked back, "Why, was he shopping with that beautiful woman at that time?"

"Yes. Sasuke-kun looks a bit tired with a careless look." Sakura frowned and recalled: "Besides, when he saw me, he didn't mean to talk to me at all. Hearing from Naruto, he seemed to agree to that. It's all my fault for being late in the consultation room, maybe I'm still angry at me for doing something to him."

"Then why don't you explain it to him?"

"It's wrong for me to do it to him, but it was Sasuke-kun who lost his temper first. Why did you all ask me to talk to him?"

"Don't you still expect Sasuke to take the initiative to come to you to reconcile!?" The corners of Ino's mouth curled up to both sides, showing a sneer expression of "you think so beautifully".

Sakura sighed, and said helplessly, "I'll go find him when I'm done with this time."

"Forget it, you're just stalling for time! Don't tell me you're actually protecting Mimon... Did Ki Sasuke embarrass him?"

"That's not true." Xiao Sakura thought for a while, and then said: "I think if it is a real partner, after a dispute, it is not necessary to care about who is right and who is wrong. The important thing is that one party can put down his figure, take the initiative Give in. It's just that, after a fight, if you haven't seen each other for too long, it's really embarrassing to suddenly make a special trip to find the other party to reconcile."

"But every time you beat Naruto, no matter how long it takes, can't you still talk to him with a smile? Why are you so unfamiliar with Sasuke?"

"... I always feel that Sasuke-kun is different from Naruto. To be honest, when he comes back this time... I'm a little scared of him."

"Afraid?" Ino looked at Sakura incredulously, and asked, "Why do you feel afraid of him!?"

"Because, every time I have him around, I feel more reserved, afraid to speak loudly, subconsciously pay attention to the tone of my speech, and try to be gentle. Moreover, Sasuke's behavior after returning to the village this time is also quite strange. , always come close to talk to me, and hold my hand when I have nothing to do; as long as I act like I want to get along with him, he will act like he is in a bad mood." Sakura paused and rolled her eyes , and added: "By the way! He also hates Yumen very much. Whenever I mention Yumen, he will suddenly get angry, it's like stepping on a thunderbolt."

"You bastard!" Ino gritted his teeth and stared at Sakura, and poked her on the forehead twice: "With such a wide forehead, why is your head so dull!?"

"Hey!" Sakura waved Ino's hand away and retorted, "What are you stupid! I'm much smarter than you!"

Ino was too lazy to argue with her about this issue, so he firmly grabbed Sakura's shoulders, shaking and yelling, "How proud and indifferent that person is, don't you know!? It's already obvious at this stage, okay? Good! Do you know how many people will envy you? Even a person like me who is in love is almost envious of you!"

"Hey, what do you mean?" Sakura was a little dizzy from being shaken, and her voice trembled, "Why are you so excited all of a sudden, Ino!?"

Ino let go of Sakura, glared at her bitterly and said, "Hurry up and find Sasuke, and have a good talk with him!" He strode away and slammed the door, and her indignant voice came from the corridor: "Otherwise, wait until you remember I will definitely regret it!"

Remember...has she forgotten anything?

Xiao Sakura tilted her head, she didn't have time to think about it, and then was interrupted by other doctors who entered the room to hand over the work, and she had no time to investigate further.

The day after Ino dropped the words "Go to Sasuke quickly", Sakura happened to see him again.

Just like when he met on the street before, when he entered the room and found her there, he still had an indifferent expression and an evasive attitude.Sakura guessed that maybe it was because he was still thinking about what happened that night. "Sasuke is a person who sometimes holds grudges." When Naruto complained this way before, she would always punch him and tell him to shut up; but now she feels the same way.

Dazed for a while, Sakura realized that she missed the opportunity to greet Sasuke again, so she had to turn around in frustration and continue to treat Geunji.

That was the first time she took a close look at the number one beauty in the Land of Fire. Upon closer inspection, she had fair skin, exquisitely carved features, a slender and well-proportioned figure, and an elegant and charming air in her aura. Charm.As her colleague said, with such a perfect appearance and noble status, when she is with Sasuke, she is really a good match.

—It’s completely different from me.

Staring at the face of the third princess, while envious, Xiao Ying suddenly felt ashamed.But then, she discovered that even such a perfect woman could only show favor to Sasuke unilaterally, but could not arouse any response from him.

—As expected of Sasuke-kun, he will never be swayed by anyone.

Thinking about it this way, I feel even more in awe of Sasuke's indifference, and for some reason, I feel a little relieved.

After the treatment, Sakura thought to herself that before leaving the room, she must muster up the courage to say hello to Sasuke.But thinking about Sasuke's cold expression and the presence of Geunhee behind him, his voice choked.She began to get angry at her indecision, and if she hesitated any longer, she would almost step out of the door.Reluctantly, she turned her gaze to the corner of the room. What surprised her was that Sasuke had been staring at her with piercing eyes, as if he was hesitating to speak, just like her current mood.

Sakura became agitated inexplicably, she just looked at Sasuke silently, unable to take her eyes away, until Sasuke stood up on his own initiative, opened the door for her, and watched her walk out of the room.

Until the end, she couldn't talk to Sasuke, but on the way back, Sakura's heart was sweetened for no reason like a spoonful of honey, and she felt a little ecstatic.

When she returned home in the evening, her depressed mood was finally relaxed. She lay down on the bed and thought about it for a while, and soon fell asleep with peace of mind.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, she began to dream, dreaming of the look Sasuke stared at her in the afternoon, and the breath he held close behind her when he opened the door for her.Sasuke's strong masculine breath was so real that she felt in a trance, as if he was close to her bed, clinging to her, warming her, and surrounding her.

In the dream, she no longer felt uncomfortable because of Sasuke's approaching, but felt that she liked him, because that breath made every cell in her body hot, greedily wanting to take more of his temperature.She even raised her head, wanting him to kiss all over her face, but the other party kept leaning over, rubbed her cheek with his fingers, kissed her eyelids for a long time, and then disappeared.

——That's it, are you leaving?

—No, don't go!

The feeling of reluctance seemed to overflow, she struggled to cry out and keep him.As soon as the first syllable came out of her throat, she woke up immediately.The moment she opened her eyes, Sakura felt an indescribable disappointment, but was she disappointed, Sasuke only printed a shallow kiss in the dream, or was she disappointed, everything was a dream?No, no matter which one she was disappointed with, such emotions startled her, because it showed that she regarded Sasuke as the object of her erotic dreams, and even wanted to get the feeling of being loved from him.

——It must be because I have been too tired recently, and I always think about how to reconcile with him from time to time, so I have such an outrageous dream.

Sakura thumped her head hard twice, trying to knock out all those thoughts that tarnished the friendship of her companions.But when she lay down again, she found that the scenes in the dream would drill back into her head from time to time, making her mouth dry inexplicably.In the end, staring at the ceiling, she forced herself to count the sheep for most of the night, but couldn't fall back asleep.

On the third day after that dream, she attended a farewell party organized by the staff of the children's psychiatric clinic and the child.

The farewell party was not sad. Under the active guidance of Dr. Iwasaki, the whole atmosphere was very happy, full of good wishes for her long journey and anticipation of seeing you again.After the laughter and frolicking were over, she walked out of the door of the consulting room and found that there was autumn rain pattering in the night sky.Dr. Iwasaki chased him out and handed him an umbrella at the entrance. When Sakura took the umbrella, she vaguely noticed that there was a glint of water under his thick lenses.At the farewell party just now, he smiled so brightly and vigorously, but now he put on such a sad expression.Sakura suddenly had a sore nose.

"From now on, the children will be entrusted to you."

There was no response, and no loving farewell as usual. Dr. Iwasaki just waved his hand, then quickly turned around and walked into the room.

The rain was not heavy, but the autumn wind carried the fallen leaves and danced all over the sky, which made the night air feel a skin-chilling chill.Feeling lost in response to the occasion, Sakura shuddered, her hand holding the umbrella tightened unconsciously, and she walked slowly towards the central square.

The villagers and peddlers have long since dispersed, and the place looks so empty that even the temperature is lower.There are only a few dim street lamps in the corner, shining on the broken raindrops, trying hard to restore some warm light.

Looking against the light of the street lamp, under the night, in the rain curtain, in the pavilion where she once hid from the rain, a dark figure could be vaguely seen.The man was wearing summer night clothes, his strong arms were stretched out of season, black shattered hair fluttered on his shoulders in the cold wind, and the dim light slanted on the expressionless fox mask on his face , the light and shadow are blurred and a little weird, but it makes Sakura feel kind and familiar.

——People in the bright and dark parts are dressed similarly, but why can you be sure that it is that person through the mask?

Doubts flashed in her heart, she had already started to run one step ahead, and the voice she blurted out became high-pitched with her mood.

"Ita?"
