In the small duty room, moths flew around on the lampshades.
Naruto's hand shook and he almost knocked over the two takoyaki. Fortunately, Sakura's hand quickly caught it, thus avoiding the tragic end of being forced to mop the floor.
"Fortunately." Sakura let out a long breath, her bulging chest moving slightly.
"Ah, I'm sorry." Cold sweat broke out on Naruto's back, and he calmed down immediately after calming down.
Being a ninja is indeed a high-risk profession, and it's easy to become obsessed.
He sat in the chair, looking at Sakura who was eating takoyaki seriously, and after thinking about it, he pushed his share over.
"are you not hungry?"
"You're not very hungry. Do you want to continue on duty?"
"That's what I say, but you should eat a little bit." Sakura said a little embarrassed, "Otherwise, I would feel a little weird if I finish the meal alone."
Naruto wanted to complain, you are weird right now.
But based on the limited experience he gained from dealing with Temari who had a sudden change of temperament last time, he inserted a takoyaki, looked at Sakura, and asked tentatively.
"Do you remember Kakashi-sensei?"
"What are you talking about? How could you forget this?" Sakura complained, her cheeks puffing up as she swallowed the takoyaki.
"Then let me ask you, how many people are there in Class 7?"
"It must be four." Midway through her words, Sakura suddenly paused, and then began to lower her head and count on her fingers, "Kakashi-sensei, I, Naruto, there are only three of us in total."
"Is there anyone else?"
Naruto didn't say anything. He planned to ask other people before talking about it. He didn't contact Sakura until ten days passed. Originally I thought Sakura had calmed down, but now it seems...
More than calm, it's as if the computer case is soaked in water.
In line with the principle of not touching troublesome matters first, Naruto interrupted and changed the topic of Sasuke.
"Do you have to work tomorrow too?"
"Yes, tomorrow is the annual fireworks festival." Sakura stopped worrying about Sasuke's topic and complained while eating, "But Yu-senpai Dogezata asked me to be on duty for him."
"Said that his happiness depends on this day. If he can't meet his future girlfriend, he will just die. Such gloomy words."
"I have no choice. Seeing how pitiful my senior is, I can only agree."
"That's a shame," Naruto agreed.
"Yes." Sakura read a document while eating, "I can't wear a yukata this year, but it's true, Yu-senpai, I really can't refuse something like Doge-za."
After chatting in the duty room for a while and watching Sakura finish all the takoyaki, Naruto made an excuse to leave.
Suddenly, the duty room became quiet again, leaving only the sound of turning pages.
Under the light, Haruno Sakura's slender fingers stopped turning the pages and pulled out a thin page of medical records from the folder of the file, with the words Uchiha Sasuke clearly written on it.
"Ha~"
Suppressed sounds of excitement emerged from Haruno Sakura's throat. She seemed to have completely changed her appearance, staring at the photo of Uchiha Sasuke.
Slender white fingers traced across the face in the photo, making the sound of a sickly exhalation.
"How do I reunite with my lover?"
"Of course I will cut it into pieces and reunite them together. Naruto should also support me, he seems to care about Sasuke."
"If he wants to stop me, Naruto-kun won't stop me, definitely not." Haruno Sakura's chest was rising and falling, her right hand was touching her face, her eyes were blurred.
"Hide the other me, and I will find Sasuke for you, hee hee hee." Haruno Sakura, whose right little finger had already wrapped around the edge of her lips, said with unknown attributes.
After leaving Konoha Hospital, Naruto bought two more takoyaki and ate them while walking.
Sakura's symptoms are really weird, so I'd better wait and see first. Maybe it's similar to Temari, the brain's self-defense mechanism is activated, and it will be better in two days.
However, it would be nice if it was always like this, as it would save a lot of trouble.
Anyway, the meaning of Sasuke's life is revenge, and Naruto has no interest in awakening Sasuke's feelings. Sasuke can do whatever he wants, he has no control over it.
I'll tell you what happens next, but in short, although they are companions, he actually doesn't care about Sasuke that much.
The next day.
"What? You kid actually wants to go on a mission? Or are you with Team 8?" Tsunade frowned, with an expression as if she had seen a ghost, and the fabric was stretched to the limit due to the shaking.
"Well, I also want to share the worries of the village. Isn't that weird?" Naruto said with some embarrassment.
"Share the worries?" Tsunade glanced disdainfully at Naruto, who was staring into the abyss, and said unceremoniously, "Last time I gave you a mission, you said you were going home to take care of seriously ill stray dogs."
"Later I found out that you randomly bought a stuffed stray dog from the gift shop and said that it was sick."
"I doubt your mental state now, Uzumaki Naruto."
"Well, it's true this time. I really want to do the mission." Naruto said sincerely, "Team 7 has stopped activities for a long time. I can't stay idle like this forever."
"Really?" Tsunade's beautiful eyes were narrowed and she stared at Naruto, "Let me see your sincerity."
Snap.
Naruto placed two boxes of valuable desserts on Tsunade's desk, and the latter opened her eyes.
"I agreed."
After coming out of the Hokage Building, Naruto suddenly felt bored. Tsunade was really as shameless as himself. He was bribed with just one dessert, this Hokage was really too arrogant.
Just as he was complaining in his mind, he suddenly looked up and found Hinata standing helplessly on the side of the road. When he saw that he had found her, his face turned crimson.
"Hinata-chan." Naruto waved to him, who waved timidly in response.
"Naruto-kun."
"No need to be so formal, just call me Naruto from now on." He walked up to Hinata and said openly.
"Okay." Hinata seemed to be unwilling to refuse his request, so she blushed and agreed.
"Naruto."
"I'm going on a mission with you the day after tomorrow."
"us?"
"Yes, Class 8, I have convinced Tsunade-sama." He said proudly, "I should be considered a non-staff member of Class 8 now, probably similar to a temporary worker."
"Ah, is it the day after tomorrow?" Hinata was a little at a loss. Her shoulder-length blue hair made her face extremely petite and cute, like a piece of milky white pudding.
Naruto's hands were behind his back, but he couldn't help but reach out and squeeze them.
"Eh?"
When Hinata realized that Naruto was squeezing her face with one hand, her whole face instantly turned red to the roots of her ears. Perhaps she was too nervous and she fell down.
Naruto, who realized that he had gotten into trouble with his weak hands, caught Hinata almost out of instinct, hugged Hinata in a hurry, and ran skillfully into a shady alley.
