the other side.

Going back in time a little bit...

After having dinner with her parents, Haruno Sakura went back to her room, but for some reason she kept feeling uneasy.

It's a subtle premonition of what's going to happen.

Thinking of the black-haired teammate who came to ask about her before, she was really worried now.

She was really grateful for his concern... No, it should be said that she was almost flattered. After all, she had never enjoyed this kind of treatment before. If it were her who was still a little in love a few years ago, she would have been there by now.

While humming, I thought happily: Sasuke cares about me, Sasuke cares about me, and he has me in his heart.

But now, she is only worried about what harm he will incur because of this kindness, after all...

Today is different from the past.

The Hyuga clan is indeed very powerful in the village, and many families seem to respect it quite a bit, and they feel vaguely like the "head of the clans".

At this moment...

She heard her mother calling her very happily: "Sakura! Naruto-kun is here to find you!"

Haruno Sakura: "..." Didn't I tell you not to come over for late-night snacks? Why did this guy come here anyway!

Immediately afterwards, she heard her father’s cry again——

"Sakura! Naruto-kun is here!"

"..." After she was silent for a while, she knew that it would be impossible to chase someone away in front of her parents, so she helplessly replied, "I know! I'll be here right away!"

Then I heard a particularly "shameless" voice——

"No, Sakura, I'm at your door."

"……"Hello!!!

Haruno Sakura opened the door of her room with a dark face, and to her surprise, she saw a certain Dabaga holding her head and giggling at the door. She was about to open her mouth to say something, but she saw something out of the corner of her eye.

My parents are standing in the corner, looking over here.

"..." She helplessly held back the "roar" she was about to say, took two steps back and said, "Come in and talk."

"Hmm~"

After Uzumaki Naruto walked into Haruno Sakura's bedroom, his eyes immediately fell on the bottle of pink lilies that was placed on the desk in the room. His originally anxious mood suddenly became excited - Sakura did not throw away the flowers.

Yeah! But after he left, he inserted it properly. Does this mean...

Haruno Sakura also noticed this, and said with a slightly uncomfortable expression: "...After all, it was bought with money, so it would be a pity to throw it away. And, after all, the flowers are innocent."

"That is to say, Sakura, you were really angry at that time, right?" Uzumaki Naruto, who felt more confident because of this incident, strode forward and asked bluntly, "Because I sent flowers to Hinata before.

things."

"...Huh?" Haruno Sakura panicked for a moment, and then immediately replied, "Why should I be angry? What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Actually, I not only gave them to Hinata at that time, but also to Teacher Kurenai and Mirai." Uzumaki Naruto continued, "However, the flowers were originally bought for you, Sakura. If you don't believe it, you can find

Ino confirmed."

"...No need, no need." Haruno Sakura raised her right hand and grabbed her left arm, turned her head and said.

"Yeah." Uzumaki Naruto nodded, "I don't think it's necessary, because I didn't come here tonight for this matter, but for other things."

"...What?" Haruno Sakura asked subconsciously, and at the same time she became worried again. Could it be that Sasuke told Naruto? But he didn't mean...

"I understand Hinata's intention." Uzumaki Naruto looked directly at the pink-haired girl in front of him and spoke very straightforwardly again. After catching the sudden contraction of the other person's pupils, he whispered, "Sure enough, Sakura-chan

You already knew it." Everyone is very smart, but he is the only one who is stupid. Therefore, everyone hides it from him.

This realization made him feel unhappy.

"...Have you finally realized it?" Haruno Sakura's mood suddenly became complicated and subtle. She was not sure whether the person in front of her discovered it by herself or...but, well, "It is very worthwhile to be liked by such a person.

One thing, right? After all, Hinata is gentle, beautiful and considerate, and she always looks at you intently." Any man would be happy to be liked by such a girl.

"Yeah." Uzumaki Naruto nodded honestly, "I'm actually a little happy, and I'm very grateful to her. In the years when no one liked me, it was really a great thing for me to be able to pay attention to me and like me like that.

Very, very good thing.”

"...Really." Haruno Sakura lowered her head again, thinking, so, what do you want to say now? Tell me how happy you are, and then completely draw a line with me for her?

...It's not impossible.

Anyway, Naruto, just be happy.

These are not words of anger, but she truly pities the person in front of her from the bottom of her heart, so no matter what decision he makes, she is willing to support and encourage him, even if she may feel pain in her heart.

"I'm very grateful to Hinata, and what happened with Neci..." Uzumaki Naruto's eyes looked sad for a moment when he mentioned this, "I will repay her well in the future, along with Neci's share."

"That's it..." Haruno Sakura replied in a light tone, "That's good." It's not because it doesn't matter, but because it feels a little unreal at this moment, so everything seems to be in a trance - as if she is crying.

A sense of trance that arises to a certain extent.

"But this is different from who I like. Sakura, I have liked you since I was a child, and it is the same now, and I have no intention of changing my mind in the future."

"!!!"

Along with these words,

Like a closed window lattice being shattered,

glass splash room,

The world in Haruno Sakura's ears became clear again.

She suddenly raised her eyes and stared at the young man in front of her with great surprise, but the latter smiled under her gaze, a very bright and wanton smile.

He sincerely thanks everyone in the world who loves him,

but,

In the whole world, what he loved in a love sense was the person in front of him.

In the Hokage's office.

"Actually, I have investigated." Kakashi Hatake opened the secret compartment in the Hokage's office, took out some scrolls, and brought them to the table where everyone was talking. "Since the end of the Fourth War, the relationship with the Hyuga family has become closer.

The family includes the Shimura, Tenden and Mito clans, and they... all," he glanced at Uchiha Sasuke sitting aside, continued, "have obtained a lot of information from Uchiha-related incidents.

benefit."

Uchiha Sasuke replied calmly: "Along with the demise of the Uchiha clan, the large amount of property disappeared along with it?"

Not only actual money, but also scrolls, weapons and other items that are extremely precious to ninjas.

As the last orphan of Uchiha, he inherited nothing.

In fact, to this day, I have not been able to get anything back.

"...Yes." Hatake Kakashi sighed, "After the post-war reconstruction, I started to investigate this matter, and then I discovered the whereabouts of this property. I also noticed their proximity to Hinata, and then

Thinking of Hinata and Hizu's actions, do you know what this means?"

"It means exchange." The Uchiha belt said coldly, "They support Hinata Hinata to become the wife of the future Hokage, and support Hinata to become the largest clan in Konoha. What follows is that the future Hokage will unknowingly

If you protect them forever under such circumstances, Sasuke will never be able to get back the property that should belong to him. And the current Hokage will always throw a tantrum at the mercy of his disciples for the happiness of his disciples, and in the end he will not be able to choose to let it go."

"...Yes." Hatake Kakashi confirmed this statement with some helplessness, "If Hinata really becomes the maternal clan of Naruto's wife, then Sasuke and I will indeed have to choose to give in for the sake of Naruto's happiness."

Otherwise?

Let Naruto choose between his family and Sasuke?

He will be in pain.

Sasuke never wanted this to happen.

"So," the Uchiha belt asked, "Naruto received the help of his wife and strong men, Hinata became the largest clan in Konoha, and these families who used unfair means to occupy the Uchiha clan's property were protected. In the end, only

Sasuke's injured world was born, is that true? But why? Just because he is soft-hearted, just because he cares about Naruto, just because he doesn't care about being wronged? "

Everyone was speechless.

"..." Uchiha Sasuke raised his hand, pressed the shoulder of the girl who was obviously a little excited, and whispered, "Don't be like this, I don't care."

"Shut up!" Uchiha shouted with his head tilted, "You don't care about this, you don't care about that, what do you care about?! Or do you think Naruto took the position of Hokage amidst the crowds and coaxing of this group of people?

Is it really a good thing? The whole village is a family? Everyone is selfless? Everyone lives a happy life? What are you talking about in your sleep? Do you want him to live happily, or do you want him to live in another world forever?

The artificial infinite Tsukuyomi is in progress?! Do you think this is good for him? For a strong man, this is 100% insulting!"

"..." Uchiha Sasuke was speechless. He discovered that it had nothing to do with those dreams. She really lost her temper. He really didn't dare to be tough. He opened his mouth and said, "I..."

"Me what?!"

"...I mean," under the glare of the girl in front of him, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly felt that there is no need to be so forced on things like face sometimes, so he decisively gave in, "What do you think we should do now?"

The rest: "..." Hey... a strong man of the Uchiha clan, where is your backbone and backbone?

Uchiha Sasuke's face was expressionless: It's broken.

"Is there any need to talk?" Uchiha said decisively, "Catch Naruto, explain all this to him clearly, and then let him choose. If he still naively thinks that just relying on words will be enough after knowing all this.
To be continued...
