Uzumaki Naruto lowered his head and walked back to the bushes, sat down on the ground, folded his arms, sighed, and whispered: "It's like this again... I can feel that it is true that Sakura has insomnia, but she seems to

She is deliberately rejecting me. Sure enough, even if she no longer likes Sasuke, she still has no interest in me at all. Maybe she still finds me annoying."

Uchiha Sasuke: "..." He showed a speechless expression. For a moment, he didn't know whether to complain or comfort. In the end, he had to pick up the bush that he had knocked down before, and stuck his backhand on the other person's head——

A wooden head like yours is best suited for something like this.

"...What are you doing!" The Uchiha stretched out his hand to snatch the bush back from the blond boy's head, and complained in a low voice, "Naruto is in such a miserable state, and you still let him have green hair on his head?" Just be a human being.

...Being brothers doesn't mean to persecute others like this!

Uchiha Sasuke: "???" After taking a few seconds to understand the amount of information, he asked in displeasure, "Then you just stuck it in my head?"

"You are a married man, what are you afraid of?" At this point, a sentence suddenly popped up in Uchiha's mind, and she said it smoothly, "Although the child is not yours, my wife is."

Uchiha Sasuke: "???" Come on, say it again.

"Ah..." Uchiha covered his mouth with a belt, and under the glare of Xiang Rin and the suppressed laughter expressions of Suigetsu and Jugo, he said, "It's a joke... Well, it's a joke, don't take it seriously."

"Let me tell you," Uzumaki Naruto turned his head and said with dissatisfaction, "I'm in such a miserable state, can you two stop flirting in front of me?" This brother and sister are not very reliable!

Uchiha Sasuke: "..." Which of your eyes saw us flirting? It was clearly me trying to resist the urge to hit someone on the head.

"Sorry, sorry..." Uchiha showed an apologetic expression, and then said, "But, Naruto, why do you feel like this? I think Sakura is very good to you. When she looks at you, her eyes are also

Very gentle.”

"Really?" Uzumaki Naruto immediately perked up and asked.

"Yeah, really." Uchiha nodded.

"But she keeps rejecting me recently," Uzumaki Naruto plucked his fingers to count. "When I ask her to eat, she says she doesn't have time; when I ask her to watch a movie, she says she doesn't have time; when I ask her to work overtime, she does have time, but

He didn’t pay much attention to me during the whole process. Of course, Sakura, who works hard, is also very handsome..."

"It's obvious that I'm not interested in you." Xianglin complained, "You can see what it's like for a girl to be interested in a man." She definitely wants to grow on the other person's body!

Uzumaki Naruto: "..." Vomiting soul.

Ghost Light Suiyue & Chongwu: "..." No, Xianglin, perverts like you are a special case.

"Hey, Kaoru," Uchiha Sasuke said dissatisfiedly, "You don't understand what's going on between the two of them, so don't comment without permission." However, Sakura's behavior is indeed a bit strange, and she doesn't seem to be able to play this kind of thing.

A woman who indulges in lust and boredom.

"Well..." Uchiha raised his hand and rubbed his chin, making serious suggestions, "So, Naruto, if you think about it seriously, do you think Miss Sakura really hates you when she rejects you?"

Uzumaki Naruto thought about it seriously, then slowly shook his head: "I don't think Sakura hates me. In any case, our seventh team is the most important person to each other. If it were before this, I would think that she is

I rejected me because I had Sasuke in my heart, but now..."

"Sakura is a woman who dares to love and hate and tell the truth." Uchiha Sasuke said, "She will not fail to see your pursuit. If it is really not interesting, she will directly refuse to let you stop thinking. It is not stated clearly, but

She is also unwilling to accept your pursuit, which can only mean that she is hesitating."

He is not very knowledgeable about emotions, but from the perspective of a bystander, he is very sharp. It can be said that he immediately came to a calm and rational conclusion.

"Then..." Uzumaki Naruto asked hesitantly, "What is Sakura hesitating about?" Do you think there is something about him that is not good enough? You can just say it directly, he will work hard. After all, he has not been doing well in these years.

Did you work hard?

"...How do I know?" Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but complained, "I have been away from the village for so long, and you are the one who gets along with her day and night, right?"

"..." Uchiha rubbed his chin, "At this time, maybe we can do a little investigation? Naruto, does Sakura have any good friends? Hey, girls usually don't choose to do anything to themselves when they have something on their minds.

Did the friend or bestie next to me tell her? So~does she have such a partner?"

Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke looked at each other, and then said in unison——

"Ino!"

Both of them knew about the friendship between Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura because they had happily fought and "complained to each other" during the Chunin Examination.

After that...

The relationship between the two girls who had been at odds gradually became better again.

To be more realistic -

First, Yamanaka Ino basically gave up on Uchiha Sasuke after he left the village;

You can't say she is indifferent, because she did like him more or less for whatever reason. In other words, for many girls of the same age in their teenage years, Uchiha Sasuke is simply a kind of "campus prince", and it is not allowed to invest in him.

The kind that loses money.

However, she is from a family after all.

"Ino Shika Butterfly" has stood at the core of Konoha for many years, not only because of their strength, but also because of their "knowledge".

It is also very important for parents to teach their children through words and deeds.

Although Yamanaka Ino is not as sober as her companion Shikamaru, she also knows clearly that from the moment Uchiha Sasuke left the village and chose to defect, if she continued to think about or even chase him, she would be taking advantage of her family or even three of her.

Family adventure.

She can't do such a thing.

In other words, the likes in her heart are far less important to her than her family.

Of course, she decisively chose to give up, which was more or less due to Haruno Sakura.

Secondly, Haruno Sakura is really not as "ordinary" as she or some short-sighted and prejudiced people think;

As we all know, people will continue to "get separated" as they grow up. Companions who have known each other since childhood may not be able to join hands until the end. The reason is simple. It may not be because of conflicts or quarrels, but because one of them falls behind.

Yamanaka Ino, who was born in Inogacho, and Haruno Sakura, who was born in an ordinary family, may have been good friends in childhood or even adolescence. However, after officially becoming ninjas, it is common sense that they are likely to be separated and become the kind of "on the road"

When you meet an acquaintance, you can say hello."

Because the vast majority of female ninjas from ordinary families will choose to be ordinary genin and chuunin for the rest of their lives, or they may stay as ninjas for a few years and then simply marry and become housewives.

However, Haruno Sakura completed a transformation and transcendence with strength.

As a civilian ninja, to gain her current strength and reach her current position, although there is a bit of luck, it is also a very, very hard and difficult thing.

Now she is really not that ordinary. She is the direct disciple of the Sixth Generation Hokage, a teammate of Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke. At the same time, she is also the direct disciple of the Fifth Hokage, and is currently the head of Konoha Medical Department and Konoha Hospital.

As one of the leading figures, he will definitely go further in the future.

On the battlefield of the Fourth World War, she also saved many people, and was deeply grateful by these people.

It is precisely because of this...

When Ino Yamanaka made good friends with her, no one in the Ino Shikacho family could even say "no" and could only enjoy hearing about it, because it was indeed an equal and beneficial relationship.

Of course, it's not that Yamanaka Ino has such a purpose and idea to be friends with Haruno Sakura, she doesn't, she just simply likes the latter. However, sometimes the "sense of equality" is really important, and it determines in disguise

Can the relationship between two people last long?

Back to business.

Therefore, until now, the two girls still maintain a good relationship.

After the war, because the world seemed peaceful, Yamanaka Ino spent more time taking care of the flower shop at home. After all, their family's abilities were mostly used to spy on thoughts and obtain intelligence, and they didn't use it right now.

Some kind of spy from outside the village was caught, so... um, right?

Four battles in progress.

Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru and Akimichi Choji all lost their fathers. Although as ninjas, they should be used to sacrifice, but this pain cannot be overcome easily.

And if they can still avenge Asuma, a creature like the Ten-Tails that almost exceeds the limits of human imagination...

Therefore, they were really grateful to the members of Team 7, and they swore on their earrings with the highest etiquette of the three families that they would assist the current Hokage and future Hokage.

at the same time.

Yamanaka Ino has always been a little concerned about her friends' emotional status.

After all, "picking up teammates" can be said to be a good tradition in Konoha - although she didn't plan to do this herself, so she was always curious about which one Sakura could successfully pick up in the end.

As for her...

Well, I definitely don't miss Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke at all.

However, after Infinite Tsukuyomi Dreams, she was a little concerned about the guy named "Sai". After all, his appearance was really her thing, and his life experience was simple and clean. Except for his poisonous mouth, there was basically nothing wrong with him.

point.

...But the question is, why can't he shut up every time he appears?

So, does anyone with "sa" in their name suit themselves to be a handsome guy who shuts up? That's the case for Sasuke, and it's the same for Sai.

"Hey..." Yamanaka Ino lay on the counter bored, resting his chin on one hand, and sighed leisurely.

At this moment...

The bell hanging on the door of the store rang and made a crisp sound.

"Welcome." Yamanaka Ino said subconsciously, and by the way, she thought to herself, speaking of it, that guy Saai helped hang this bell as a thank you gift for the flowers before.

After the war, Sai would often go to the orphanage run by Kabuto Yakushi after work. Probably because they had similar life experiences. These two people who were once incompatible now have a good relationship and take care of each other on a daily basis.

Children in the orphanage.
