[Hokage] Thank you for loving me

Sasuke-kun, why did he leave Konoha Village one step earlier than himself?

According to Sasuke-kun's usual principle of handling things, if he is not willing, no one can force him to leave here; that is to say, because he likes the third princess, he voluntarily left with her?

However, what he said on the rainy night yesterday obviously meant a confession. It sounded like he liked him, right?

So, do you like Sasuke?Although he always said "absolutely don't like him", after knowing that he is Yitai yesterday, at the moment when his and Yitai's identities coincided, he did have a strong heart for him; moreover, he also said, It seems that because of amnesia, he lost his feelings for him.

But what was forgotten?The memory about him is clearly very clear, so could it be that only the emotional part is forgotten?This situation is simply like...

"Sakura, what's the matter?" It felt like the first ray of dawn was about to enter her mind, dispelling the black mist that had troubled her for a long time. At this moment, a distant but cool voice suddenly sounded in her ears, Blocked her last step on the ladder to the answer.

Haruno Sakura raised her eyes, and not far ahead, Fukuyama Shinryu was half-squinting her eyes, examining her with a puzzled look. "You have been in a bad mood since just now. Are you too tired from handing over work recently?"

Sakura inexplicably looked around where she was: in the huge room, she was sitting on the lower sofa with her back against the door, and under the word "forbearance" sitting in the upper position were Fukuyama Shinryu and two A middle-aged man dressed as an official of the Rainbow Kingdom; on the sofa on the left and right, there are two people dressed as a ninja; in the blank space between the sofa and the wall, there are seven or eight ninjas, who are either supported by their hands Leaning on the back of the sofa chair, or standing against the wall, with a serious expression on his face, he seemed to be concentrating on thinking or listening to something, and did not cast an impatient look at himself because of Fukuyama Shinryu's interruption .

——By the way, this is the conference room of the Hokage office building.The day after tomorrow, we will leave for the Rainbow Country, and those who are in this room are all companions who are about to leave together.Everyone gathered here precisely to listen to Mr. Xin Liu and the others' arrangements for departure.

"I'm fine." Xiao Ying quickly waved her hand, and replied in embarrassment: "Sorry, I was a little distracted just now and delayed everyone's meeting. Mr. Xin Liu, please continue."

"Are you really okay? If you don't feel well, go back and have a rest."

In fact, Sakura couldn't even remember how she walked from the hotel to the Hokage Building, how long she sat here, and what everyone discussed just now.Because his mind was filled with the matter of Sasuke leaving with the third princess, he couldn't spare any extra thoughts to pay attention to and participate in the affairs around him.

"I'm really fine." Bracing herself, she took a sentence from the little content she had only heard as a topical material, and she asked: "Mr. Xin Liu said just now that we are going to divide into two teams matter, how to implement it?”

As soon as she asked the question, she didn't wait for the other party to answer, she looked away guiltily, and happened to meet Yumen's eyes.There was a hint of reproach on that stern face, but there was a layer of concern and helplessness hidden in his pupils, as if he had already seen through Sakura's clumsy cover-up, and silently asked her why she couldn't be more frank.

The departure matters have been arranged properly, and there was not much to discuss in the meeting, but the meeting lasted for less than 10 minutes, and the meeting ended.

Sakura got up and walked out of the conference room following the footsteps of her future new companions.She walked very slowly, and when she turned out the door and went up the corridor, almost everyone had passed her and walked in front of her.Among them, three Chunin had come to her for healing. When they passed by her, they all smiled and bowed to her as a friendly gesture, and said:

"Please give me more advice in the future."

Any advice?

A lot of advice!What a familiar task greeting!

It turned out that she was really about to set off and leave Konoha!

Xiao Sakura turned her head and smiled politely at the person who greeted her, but panicked in her heart.The feeling of leaving was so urgent, she felt that she was like a string on a bow, and she was about to fly out, and there was no room for turning back.Putting her smile away, Sakura opened her mouth, but couldn't squeeze out any words other than "please advise me", so she could only reply perfunctorily with the same words.

The upright backs of the ninjas who were about to go together in front of them all showed their determination and freedom to go to the Rainbow Kingdom. In contrast, the sudden hesitation in my heart seemed small and unbearable.

Xiao Ying's footsteps became heavier and heavier, and finally, she simply stopped and stayed in place, unable to take a step.

The voices of Xin Liu and two Rainbow Country officials discussing departure matters intermittently floated from the room behind them, echoing in the empty corridor.Sakura stared blankly at the sunlight coming in from the window at the other end of the corridor, feeling that all her thoughts were melted into that dazzling white light, and she was taken to a distant place with no destination.

"Are you okay?" Suddenly, a pair of hands patted her right shoulder forcefully.

Sakura turned her head and met Yumon's piercing eyes, the tails of which were upturned like reproach and worry.

"...Of course." She lowered her head, her affirmative answer was full of uncertainty.

"During the meeting just now, something was wrong with you." Yumen sighed, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you thinking about Uchiha Sasuke?"

Biting her lip secretly, she didn't want to admit it, but she didn't deny it either.

"You want to find him?"

Sakura stared, raised her head, "How do you know..." Swallowing, she added, "...he left?"

"He came to me late last night and said he would leave Konoha today."

"Huh? Sasuke-kun went to look for you?" Surprised, Sakura looked up and down Yumon nervously.

Sensing Sakura's gaze, Yumen seemed to have seen through her worry, and immediately said: "Don't worry, we didn't fight, and he didn't do anything to me."

"Then what did he say to you?...Did he say goodbye to you specifically?" After fighting that night, before he knew it, did the two of them still have a friendship?

"He only said he was leaving, but he didn't come to me to say goodbye, but he said he wanted to tell me something." The corners of Yumen's mouth twitched to both sides, with a bitter expression on his face: "However, look at your appearance today. It looks like I can't do what he told me.

Kozakura was confused when she heard that, she opened her eyes wide and waited for Yumen to continue explaining, but Yumen shook her head, intending to bring this topic to this point, and then fell silent for a while as if she was adjusting her emotions , then asked again:

"...Do you know why he did something to me that night?"

"Why?" Sakura raised her voice involuntarily, and asked eagerly.Subconsciously, she didn't believe that Sasuke was such an impulsive person, and she didn't believe that he would lose his temper for no reason; but facing the "victim" Yumon, she was unwilling to speak rashly and raise doubts.Therefore, in the past month, like an ostrich, she pretended to ignore the real reason for the dispute between the two.

"That night, I told Sasuke a fact that irritated him, and that's why he became like that."

"You've already said that. So, what's the truth?"

"On the day Xiaoxing got sick, you asked me to go to the laboratory to help get that sedative, do you remember?"

Sakura nodded, and saw the person on the opposite side clenched her fists, trying to suppress the fluctuations in her heart, and continued to speak: "When I opened the medicine storage box, there were only two tubes of medicine in it. But you were very nervous at that time." For sure, it is said that three tubes of medicine have been prepared with Mr. Jing Yin and placed in it."

"That is to say..." The moment she guessed the answer, her throat seemed to be choked by the truth, and she couldn't say the rest.Blinking his eyes numbly, looking at Yumen in front of him, he saw a stern expression, his two well-defined lips opened and closed several times, and he advised in a bitter tone:

"You can choose to forget, but you shouldn't choose to escape."

Sakura ran to Konoha Hospital.Running with all her strength, her heart also responded to the pace of her feet in a fast rhythm.The trees on both sides of the road retreated quickly, and the fallen leaves hovered at the feet. They were lifted up by the wind she passed by, and jumped back into the air as if they were given vitality again.

The boulevard, the gate of the hospital, the courtyard, the door of the building, the stairs, the familiar scenery flickered and changed in the corner of her eyes, and finally, she rushed into the laboratory.Inside, two colleagues were sitting by the central laboratory platform and were doing experiments. When they saw her appearing in a panic, they were all jumped.

"Sorry, I'm looking for something." After running, her breathing still hadn't calmed down, Sakura suppressed her violent panting, and tried to make a sound. Then, she ran to the medicine storage cabinet, opened the cabinet door, and took out the first drug storage cabinet. Open the storage box on the far right of the second floor - sure enough, as Yumen said, there is only one tube of medicine left in it.

Throwing away the box, she turned her head to look for the notepad hanging on the side of the cabinet, but she checked the cabinet from inside to outside, but couldn't find it.

Until now, she didn't know what she had to doubt.Do you not believe that you will take the initiative to forget your feelings for Sasuke?

Yes!How could she rely on drugs to leave the person who is proud on the surface but needs warmth more than anyone else in his heart?How could she have the heart to hurt the person who was so gentle to her in the rainy night?

Sakura shook her head desperately, trying to deny all those speculations.At this time, a young female intern in the laboratory came over and asked kindly: "Doctor Haruno, what are you looking for? Do you need help?"

"That! Notebook." In desperation, Sakura even started to tie her tongue.

"Experiment notebook? Drug notebook? Or visitor notebook?"

"Pharmaceutical!"

"Here." The other party picked up a booklet from the experimental table, "We are..."

Xiao Sakura grabbed it, turned to the target page according to the drug number, skipped the record column in front of it, and landed directly on the "Acquisition Record", and there was only the signature of "Shingo Yumen" a while ago. handwriting, in addition to this, there is no other words.

--it is as expected!There is no need to doubt it, and there is no need to continue to collect evidence. I did take the same medicine as Xiaoxing, and I chose to forget about Sasuke-kun.

"If you really want to compensate you, respecting your choice is not a kind of compensation."

"Because I have lost the love I most want to repay in this world, and I have experienced the pain of regret, even if it is... let's not owe each other."

The words Sasuke said to her last night suddenly echoed in her ears, and the back of him turning away, lonely and determined, also appeared clearly in front of her eyes.Xiao Ying suddenly had a very strong premonition, if she left with him like that after they parted last night, she might never have the chance to see him again in this life.

He will definitely think self-righteously that the only way to make her happy is to leave her, no longer appear in front of her eyes, and not continue to bring her pain.

As if she had made up her mind, she slammed the notebook shut, and as soon as Sakura put it on the laboratory table, she ran out of the laboratory shouting "Thank you very much".

"It's the first time I've seen Dr. Haruno look so flustered." When she ran into the corridor, the two doctors behind her chased out the door of the laboratory. Looking at her back, the female intern expressed emotion.

"But...you are not allowed to run in the corridors of the hospital..."

"Is it your turn to teach Dr. Haruno how to behave? She must have something urgent to do this."

"Could it be that it could be a matter of her life?"

"Then I don't know." The female doctor gave a confused "hmm" and said, "However, for a moment just now, her complexion was uglier than that of a dead person."

"Mr. Kakashi, I want to leave the village!" The door of Hokage's office was knocked down on the wall next to it. Before Sakura's foot could step through the threshold, her words were overwhelmed by her uncontrollable eagerness. Out of the mouth.

The sixth generation behind the desk was crossing his hands on his chin, looking like he was in deep thought, he was not surprised by Sakura's intrusion at all, he kept his original posture and smiled back: "Sakura, you should say , please allow me to leave the village."

Sakura was stunned, put her hands on the large desk in the center, and quickly repeated: "Mr. Kakashi, please allow me to leave the village, please give me a pass." She stretched out her right hand impatiently, spreading her palm upwards open.

Kakashi seemed to be prepared, picked up the passport and a letter from the table, and threw them to Sakura.Sakura grabbed the two documents with one hand, and picked up the envelope to look at it, but there was nothing written on it, only the seal of Sixth Hokage was stamped on it.

"This is……?"

"This is a document to visit the City of Fire. You don't want to sneak into the City of Fire to find Sasuke, do you? I'm afraid you will be regarded as an intruder and cause riots."

Why not just Yumen, even Kakashi-sensei seemed to know that he was going to find Sasuke early in the morning.Sakura's ears felt hot, she muttered "thank you", and put the paperwork and pass into the ninja bag.At the same time, a new question flashed in her mind, Sakura glanced at Kakashi shyly, and asked: "Mr. Kakashi, um, you know, uh, Sasuke-kun left with His Royal Highness voluntarily." ?"

Kakashi was taken aback, then replied with a half-smile: "Of course it's voluntary."

In this way, Sasuke-kun really has a good impression of Geun-hee.The mood suddenly became depressed, and the previous enthusiasm for chasing out of the village to find Sasuke was also sharply cooled by half. After Sakura let out a muffled "Oh", her head drooped listlessly.

Kakashi behind the table suddenly laughed out loud. He laughed exaggeratedly. Even through the black mask, he could clearly hear the sound of laughter echoing in his chest. "Sakura like this is more interesting." While trying to calm down his smile, he winked at Sakura like a prank.

"What... mean?" Sakura asked inexplicably, not knowing whether she should be embarrassed or disappointed.

"In the past, you were easily teased when you met Sasuke, and you were always like this, with ups and downs of emotions and expressions." Finally stopped laughing, Kakashi returned to his usual loving tone, and asked: " So, have you recovered your memory?"

"Eh—!? Teacher Kakashi also knows about my amnesia?"

"Of course, if you like Sasuke or not, the difference is so obvious, it's easy to see." Kakashi said with a little pride in the attitude of "I'm your teacher".

"However, I haven't remembered the feelings of liking him before, and I don't know what kind of feelings I have for him now."

Kakashi stood up, went around the desk, walked up to Sakura, gently rubbed her hair, and said, "It doesn't matter, you will have answers to these after you see him." Putting down his hands, he There was a slight smile in the corner of his eyes, "By the way, you asked me just now, did Sasuke go to the City of Fire voluntarily, because it was a mission, of course he voluntarily followed the protected person. However, it was only out of the mission It's just an arrangement."

"Really?" Sakura couldn't help raising her face immediately, and looked at Kakashi with twinkling eyes.

"Furthermore, the weapon used by the other party when sneaking into Konoha last time has been investigated by the people in the science class, and it is very difficult to deal with. From the current point of view, this escort task may only be competent for Sasuke." Kakashi said from the office He picked up a small silver object from the table and handed it to Sakura.

"Isn't this a bullet?" Sakura brought the silver bullet closer to her eyes for a closer look, and found that although the bullet was somewhat distorted, the shape of the bullet could still be seen at a glance. "What's so tricky about bullets?"

"That's right, this is the bullet that was shot into the right leg of Anbu's guard during the attack on Jinji last time. After taking it out, I originally wanted to ask the people in the science class to analyze the gun information. Unexpectedly, they During the investigation, I accidentally discovered that the composition of this bullet is very special. So I got in touch with the country of iron, and the information I got from Mifune was that before the ninja war, they were fighting with the ninjas of the five major countries. A failed experiment that the Legion fought against and researched secretly."

"Confronting ninjas? Does it work on Chakra?"

"As expected of Sakura." Kakashi patted Sakura's head approvingly, "After this bullet is injected into the body, it can effectively inhibit cells from producing chakra energy, but when will it take effect and when will it fail? , is not sure, so it cannot be put into actual combat. Later, when the ninja war broke out, the experiment was urgently stopped, and later, after entering the era of peace, the country of iron did not want to invest in this kind of experiment. They were all disposed of. This time, even Sanfuan and the others didn’t know why the things that had been completely destroyed would reappear in the hands of those thieves.”

"The combination of this special bullet and a long-distance attack gun is simply the nemesis of ordinary ninjas." Frowning, Sakura looked at the bullet in her hand again, followed by Kakashi's analysis: "If you want If you stop the opponent before the bullet is fired, I'm afraid you can only rely on the pupil technique."

"That's right. After understanding the information at this stage, Sasuke agreed to escort Geunhime back to the city of fire, just because of the special nature of the mission." After a pause on purpose, Kakashi narrowed his eyes and looked at Sakura, Kakashi once again He asked in a joking tone: "With this explanation, do you feel a little more at ease?"

Before amnesia, was Kakashi-sensei also concerned about himself and Sasuke so gossip?Or, he just wanted to tease himself.Although she was indeed relieved, Sakura didn't want to admit to the teacher who was teasing the students like this, she just hummed lightly, pretending that she didn't hear the last sentence of the other party.

"Hey, this reaction is exactly the same as Sasuke's." Kakashi's eyes were even more curved, and then he noticed that Sakura's Chakra breath began to boil, he quickly recovered his serious expression, and changed the subject:

"By the way, even though you are in a hurry to go to the City of Fire, I still want to remind you. After all, you promised to leave for the Rainbow Country the day after tomorrow. Now that you are leaving the village temporarily, besides telling me, it is best to find Mr. Fukuyama and say One sound."

"No need." A young yet majestic voice sounded behind Sakura, and Fukuyama Shinryu walked in from the door. "I already know. After the meeting just now, Yumen told Sakura on behalf of her that she might go out temporarily."

Xiao Ying looked at Xin Liu happily, then raised her eyes and glanced gratefully at Yumen behind Xin Liu, and nodded expressionlessly to the other side without saying anything.

Xinliu then said: "Besides, Hokage-sama has already let go, what else can I say?"

Kakashi scratched his head, shrugged and said, "Sorry, I'm not very good at refusing Sakura's requests."

"Haha, I don't mean to blame Master Hokage." Xin Liu narrowed his eyes into a gentle arc and said, "On the contrary, I can understand Master Hokage's mood very well, who can bear to stop Sakura now. "

What is the me now!Could it be another person who came to tease her for wanting to find Sasuke?Sakura was about to explode, when Xinliu turned to her, and said in a meaningful tone, "Sakura, I said a long time ago that if you are not ready, I will never force you to go to Rainbow The country. So, now you can rest assured to deal with those things that you can't let go of."

Hearing so many rhetoric from him, only this time he was really moved. "Thank you, Xinliu-kun!" Sakura quickly promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely be back before tomorrow night."

Xin Liu smiled and shook her head, noncommittal.

Just as he turned around and was about to set off, when he passed by Xinliu, he suddenly reached out, grabbed Sakura's upper arm, and asked worriedly: "Did you rush to the city of fire to meet the third princess or Uchiha Sasuke?

"Of course it's Sasuke-kun." Sakura thought for a while, and explained: "However, he is Her Royal Highness's guard now... I should only ask her to let me see Sasuke-kun after seeing Her Royal Highness first."

"She would let you see Sasuke so simply?" Xin Liu asked with a questioning tone.

"What do you mean...?" Sakura asked perplexedly, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly became a little embarrassed, "You mean that the princess will hide Sasuke from me because she likes him? Nope. , I just want to say goodbye to Sasuke-kun, and convey my current feelings to him, not to confess or anything...she will understand."

"Do you think the third princess likes Sasuke Uchiha?" Xin Liu's tone became sharper.

"Isn't it? It's obvious." Fukuyama Shinryu, who has always been good at dealing with women, can't even see the obvious love of His Highness the Princess?Xiao Sakura wanted to complain about him, but seeing the serious expression on the other side's face, she held back her words.

"I've lived in the City of Fire for a few months, so I know a little about the third princess." Xin Luu paused and said, "She's never liked any man before. Neither a businessman nor a world-famous swordsman has ever entered her eyes."

"Huh?" Sakura was both curious and anxious to set off. Under the confusion, she only asked with emotion.

"Although she is not a princess born to a daimyo, she is more proud and conceited than anyone else in her bones. It may be rude to comment on your country's princess in this way, but in my opinion, she is by no means the kind who puts her feelings above her dignity. people."

"However, when she was in Konoha, she treated Sasuke-kun very patiently and gently. This is what I saw with my own eyes. It's just that Sasuke-kun didn't appreciate it..."

"This is the strange thing. The third princess has such aloof self-esteem, but she can bear Uchiha's cold attitude, bowed to him for more than a month, and finally gave up the other Jonin and only generals that Naruto arranged for her. He brought back the City of Fire."

"So?" Sakura urged Xinliu to tell the conclusion quickly.

"So, maybe her reason for doing this is not for such a simple reason as liking." Xinliu looked at Sakura worriedly, and asserted: "When you arrive in the city of fire, you may not be able to meet Uchiha Sasuke so easily. .”
