I Don't Want to Know Anything

"Not familiar?" Sakura's smile was almost impossible to maintain.

"Why are you telling me all this?" Naruto glanced at her sideways. "Wouldn't it be better to pretend you don't know anything and just work together on the mission?"

"I think you've already figured it out," Sakura replied.

"What does it matter? I can pretend I don't know," Naruto sighed. "On the contrary, it's your sudden confession that puts me in a difficult position now."

"Can't we have a little understanding between us? Or keep some secrets we share? If I don't tell you, and you don't tell me, and Sasuke is gone, who will know about you?"

"Your idea is quite surprising to me," Sakura said, her smile undiminished.

"Nothing surprising." Naruto spread his hands, revealing a slightly unfriendly smile. "Comrades are those who accompany each other through thick and thin, those who risk their lives for each other."

"But if Sakura's heart goes with Sasuke, it will be difficult for me to handle it alone. I just need a companion. It doesn't matter to me whether it's you or Sakura, does it?"

"Hmm, have you convinced yourself yet?" Sakura asked with amusement, tilting her head slightly. "I thought you would be angry or break down."

"If you like, I can perform it for you right now."

"No need," Sakura said with a smile.

"Can we start over? Let's forget about tonight and pretend nothing ever happened." Naruto's face showed an unhappy expression.

I carefully pretended to be naive, but they turned around and told me the truth.

"No, I want to tell Naruto." Sakura shook her head.

Naruto closed his eyes in despair and sighed.

"I don't want to see anything, I don't want to hear anything, I don't want to know anything, so why are you telling me this?"

Under the dim streetlights, Sakura remained silent for a while before raising her head and speaking earnestly.

"I want to be remembered, I suppose. If I disappear one day, there won't even be a trace of my existence. Everyone will only remember her, not me."

"Actually, my memory isn't very good. I easily forget many people and things." Naruto scratched his face and looked up at the night. "I'm afraid I'll forget everything after I sleep tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Sakura stepped forward, picked up a takoyaki ball from her hand with a bamboo skewer, and handed it to Naruto.

"Give."

Naruto stared at the takoyaki for a while, but didn't reach out to take it.

"What? Afraid I'll poison you?"

"Lord Tsunade cast a spell on me, and you're her student," Naruto said, looking unconvinced. "What if you want to silence the person who knows your secret?"

"Is it really necessary for me to take such a big risk and go through all that trouble?"

"It could be to enjoy the process of committing the crime," Naruto pondered, stroking his chin. "Or it could be to satisfy some kind of perverted fetish, such as killing someone with lies and wallowing in the endless hatred they felt before they died."

Sakura: "You're obviously the pervert."

"Don't worry, I know you won't tell anyone about this secret between us." She handed him the Takoyaki. "You can think of it as me trying to win your favor."

"Hmm? Why?" Naruto squinted.

"Only Naruto knows I exist. If Naruto forgets me, then I really won't exist anymore," Sakura said with a smile.

"I want Naruto to remember me, so that even if I disappear one day, I can still live in Naruto's memory."

"So I would never hurt you!"

Naruto glanced sideways at Sakura and said with utter disdain, "I don't believe a single word a woman says."

Sakura's face twitched slightly, and her smile froze on her face.

I got home and opened the door.

In the end, he didn't eat the Takoyaki. He broke Sakura's defenses with a single sentence and turned to leave. Now, seeing Sakura like that sends chills down his spine; he wouldn't dare approach her.

I've been caught today, there's nothing I can do about it.

However, Sakura will not go on missions with him unless there are special circumstances. Regardless of whether she is Sakura or Inner Sakura, the best thing to do is stay away from the yandere dual personality.

Sakura's situation was truly rare, but he didn't have any objections. He didn't want to see the Sakura who desperately missed Sasuke, nor did he want to see the Inner Sakura.

You might as well lie down instead of wasting time.

With a snap, the light was switched on, instantly filling the entire living room with light.

"Kurama, come out here!" Naruto shouted as he walked, placing the food he was carrying on the table. "Hurry up, I brought you some food. You can bring me some next time."

As soon as the words were spoken, there was a commotion in the room where Nine-Tails was. Because it didn't have a penis, Nine-Tails had been walking upright when no one was around.

The way he swaggered open the door did resemble Tom Cat somewhat.

"You're the one who's a dog," Nine-Tails Fox nimbly jumped onto the sofa, lying down and complaining, "How am I supposed to buy it for you? Like a stupid dog carrying money around like that?"

"Can."

"Get lost," Nine-Tails scoffed. "Hurry up and present my offerings!"

Suddenly, as if it had remembered something, it jumped off the sofa and rushed to the kitchen. It grabbed a bottle of wine from the refrigerator and expertly opened it with a thud.

"Hey, Kurama, let's go on a mission together next time," Naruto suddenly said.

"Again with those pet-owning guys? I have absolutely no desire to go." After saying that, Nine-Tails- Tails picked up the bottle with its paws and started chugging.

"It shouldn't be them." Naruto ate his fried tempura, his brows furrowed, swallowing it with difficulty. "You should go out for some fresh air too. Staying at home Tenten will ruin you sooner or later."

"How could I possibly be harmed by wine and women?" Nine-Tails Fox muttered. "You can go, but you have to bring the wine with you."

Naruto thought about it and figured he had his Sealing Space, so bringing some things wouldn't be a problem. He readily agreed, and that was how the matter was settled.

Since autumn arrived, the weather in Konohagakure has become increasingly strange.

Faced with the awkward situation of having only one day left on his vacation, Naruto calmly devised a plan to kill time, intending to quietly enjoy this hard-won vacation alone.

He no longer expected anyone to have time to keep him company at this time, as all ninjas had different vacation schedules.

Yesterday I just happened to run into Ino, and I guess she'll be on a mission again today under Asuma's leadership.

The next day.

"Anyway," Naruto said, huddled under the thin blankets with only his head sticking out, grinning as he stared at Nine-Tails, "I won't be disturbed if I sleep at home."

"You're the useless one, aren't you?" Nine-Tails- Tails took a swig of wine, looking bored. "It's so quiet, but I don't think you'll be able to sleep tonight."

"You'd better shut your dog mouth." Naruto's room door was wide open, and in order to draw his sword and rush to the door the instant the knocking sounded, he mercilessly drew his sword.
