[Hokage] The girl next door is growing up

"Hey, Nao, this one is better or this one is better." Sakura held two clothes of the same style in front of my chest and gestured to me, hoping to ask for my opinion.I smiled with embarrassment on my face, because I really couldn't see the difference between the two dark red cheongsam-like clothes, so I reluctantly pointed to one, "The one on the left!"

"Okay, boss, I want this one!"

When I came out of the clothing store, I stared at Sakura’s hands full of the results of today’s shopping, two-thirds of which were almost unusable, and I couldn’t help but sigh, every woman is a shopaholic by nature.If it weren't for considering the financial conditions of himself and Sasuke, he must be a prodigal daughter who spends money lavishly.

"Nao, let's go to that meatball shop and rest for a while, and continue shopping later."

"Eh?" Looking sideways at Sakura, then glanced at the dozen or so bags in her hand, "Can you still carry them?"

"Hahaha, what a joke, ten more is fine!" Sakura smiled proudly, then switched the bags from her right hand to her left hand, took me with her free right hand, and led me to the meatball shop. .

Along the way, she was holding a huge object in one hand and pulling me in the other. The scene was very strange.I can't help but think of Sakura inheriting Tsunade's character in the future, a strange girl who breaks big rocks with one hand.

"How about it, the meatballs in this store are not bad."

"Well, the mouth is not sticky." Smiling and looking at the happy Sakura, after all, she is still a 12-year-old girl, and it is the most innocent time, she does not need to accept any test of fate, and she is free.

After eating a few meatballs, we sat on the seats in front of the store and sipped tea while chatting.

"By the way, Nao, what did you buy?" Sakura curiously looked over at the paper bag in my hand.I smiled, "It's just the ingredients for tonight."

"Huh?? Let me see what Sasuke-kun usually eats." She took the bag and carefully looked at the contents of the bag, "Tomatoes, beef, fish, vegetables... Eh? Sasuke-kun eats every meal." Is that much?"

"Well...he is growing up, he should eat something nutritious."

"Hey...that's it..." Sakura sighed softly, lowering her eyes in a lonely way, "I really envy Nao, I can be so close to Sasuke, I'm the only one who doesn't know him at all."

"Sakura really likes Sasuke, I always think it's really cute for Sakura to like someone so persistently." I smiled and stroked her hair gently.

The person who should be envious should be me, Sakura.

"Nao is obviously younger than me, but you always make me feel that you are more like an adult than any of us." Sakura blushed and stroked the hair that I touched just now.

"Is that so?" The corners of his mouth curled up into a beautiful arc, and he secretly smiled in his heart. I'm already older than you.

"Then Nasu, do you have someone you like?" She suddenly turned her head to look at me, her eyes showed a desire to find out, so serious.

"Hehe..." He chuckled lightly. "Sakura afraid I like Sasuke too?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask." She shook her head awkwardly, but her eyes seemed to be worried about something.It is the fear of speculation becoming fact.

I stared at her in silence for a while, then turned my eyes away, and said slowly:

"I have a lot of people I like, like Sakura, Sasuke, Naruto, and Kakashi-sensei... But there is no one who likes Sasuke as much as Sakura, the kind of person who is dedicated to identify. Who treats me well , I will like that person, rely on that person, and that person can transfer me to another person at will, and the cycle continues. There are many people I like, but the special attachment is missing. Especially this Two words are too heavy."

At this moment, I thought with some regret, to Brother Itachi, Sasuke is special, and I am just "something that belongs to Sasuke" in his eyes.

The two are far apart.

"It's okay! Nao!" Sakura said excitedly, and stood up from beside her, holding my hands tightly with her slender fingers. She seemed to see my sadness, her eyes were sincere but seemed to encourage me: "I will definitely find it. That person, that special person will definitely come back to Nao's side. Nao will definitely be happy!"

I was stunned by Sakura's aura for a moment, I opened my eyes wide and looked at her in surprise, not knowing what to say.But I feel that Sakura's words gave me hope and motivation, and warmed my heart.

She moved her lips.

"Thank you, Sakura."

That's all I can say.

That would say it all.

——Thank you, Sakura.

"It's finally the day of the Chunin Exam." Turning over a page of the calendar, tomorrow is the Chunin Exam. Although I am a bit unwilling, what Kakashi said is absolutely right, I have not yet qualified for the exam .

"How about you, do you have confidence in yourself?"

"Of course." Sasuke poked his head out of the scroll, and proudly showed me a confident smile. "I can't wait to play against him."

"Huh? The one who even Sasuke wants to fight, who is it?" I asked curiously.

"A ninja in Sand Hidden Village is called Sandfall Gaara."

Eh?Gaara?It's the little panda!I stood up from my chair excitedly.

"What? Nasu, you know him too?" Sasuke noticed my abnormal behavior and couldn't help frowning.

"Eh? Ah, I don't know him, I'm just curious about what this person looks like." I was perfunctory casually, but I was very happy in my heart. I was only six years old when I met my love Luo by chance, and now it has been six years , that short but happy childhood is still deeply remembered in my mind.

"It looks very ordinary." Sasuke stared at the scroll and said coldly.

Take a deep breath, hello!The red panda looks so marked and protruding, how can it be ordinary!Sasuke's eyes must be bad.

"Okay, anyway, you have to work hard tomorrow!" Get up and go back to the room, and said to someone buried in the pile of books, "By the way, during the few days of the exam, I will practice with Kakashi-sensei. , so don’t worry about me. Also, during the exam, Duoduo will help me take care of Sakura, this is my private request.”

"Who, who is going to worry about you." The boy retorted with an unnatural expression.

"Hee hee, I'm blushing." She laughed and teased the boy who pretended to be tight.

Before the other party gets mad, close the door quickly.

Sasuke who stayed in the living room was blushing, and couldn't put his mind on the book at all, so he had to get up and walk to the balcony to change his mood.

The wind at night is very cool, twirling people's thoughts, and flying to the distance with the boy whispering softly.

"... Nao."

During the period when Sasuke and the others were going to take the Chunin exam, Kakashi took me to practice in the forest on the outskirts of the village every day. I have to say that he is really a very dedicated teacher, patiently teaching me the methods of fighting and The strength of the attack is completely different from the fighting style of Kisame, which is novel but requires a lot of patience to persevere.Although I also have times of impatience, because I like the straightforward way, I don't want to fight for the purpose of keeping the opponent alive.But in order to make myself closer to this kind of life, such a teacher, so if I want to change myself, I must first abandon the past.

"Come here first, let's rest for a while." Kakashi panted slightly, raised his hands to his forehead and took off his forehead, revealing the scarred left eye, and the tiny beads of sweat on his hair slanted down in the forest Glittering in the sun.

"I've been saved..." I panted heavily, my clothes were already drenched with sweat, and most of my physical strength had been exhausted. After all, my physical condition was quite different from before, and my Chakra consumption was several times faster than before. , although Kakashi and Kakashi can barely pass hundreds of moves in physical skills, there is already a significant difference in physical strength between the two.

"Hey, teacher."

Sitting by the stream, rolled up the trouser legs, feet dipped into the stream, swaying and slapping the stream from time to time, the water surface rolled up with colorful ripples, and phosphorescence appeared.

"Huh...?" Kakashi responded with a lazy voice and closed his eyes. He was sitting under a big tree to enjoy the shade.

"Have I improved these days?"

"Well, I have to say, Nao, you are a genius. Now I fully understand why the Third Hokage was so eager to draw you into Anbu for his own use." Kakashi opened one eye, Glancing at the thin back of the girl by the stream, I feel incredible that her small body can burst out with shocking power. I always feel that she maintains the difference in strength between her and him intentionally or unintentionally. Proper benefits always let him win by a few points.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at her, with a bit of love and a bit of melancholy in his expression.

He likes to hear her gentle and innocent appearance when she calls him teacher, but he is also melancholy about the admiration in her eyes when she looks at him.She never showed her desire or attachment to anyone.

She has always been a strong, lonely and proud Die, hovering in the sea of ​​flowers but never nostalgic.

"Is that so? But I don't think I'm a genius at all." Following Kakashi's praise, I responded lightly.

I deeply understand the price behind a genius, and this body tells me deeply how I have accumulated life-threatening training to have the strength I have today.

"However, compared with the teacher, you little devil is much weaker."

Unknowingly, Kakashi stood behind me, he frowned, and stretched out his hand to stroke my hair.I closed my eyes enjoying it. Except for Brother Itachi, I like the teacher stroking my hair the most. I don't reject this feeling, but feel very comfortable like this.

Kakashi-sensei is a person worthy of my trust.

"The student who is the most proud of the teacher, then the student will entrust the teacher with dinner tonight." With an evil smile, he put Kakashi on the shoulder, Sato helped them take the exam, and would not go home at night, leaving me alone It's so lonely, since there is a teacher here, hey, I like to eat rice or something.

"There's really nothing I can do about you...but let's beat me first!"

"This is what the teacher said, one trick is one meal, one hundred moves is one hundred meals!"

"no problem!"

The author has something to say: I love my son-in-law to death, and I love Itachi Zuoming to death, let alone the red panda, but I will definitely not be NP!
