Sakura After this question, there was a moment of strange silence on the training ground, and then some subtle changes occurred.
First up is Naruto. His expression, which was originally dull due to various confusions and entanglements, began to slowly and gradually shrink away.
So that's it...
At this moment, all the questions in Naruto's mind were connected in series, and he suddenly understood why Sakura gave those extremely cruel suggestions? Why does she always emphasize the need to "draw a clear line" and "completely reject"? Why was she acting so excited?
Cross-server chat.
This is the most accurate summary of the entire conversation between Naruto and Sakura! He kept talking about "how to make the sweetheart normal", but Sakura automatically understood it as "an annoying love rival appears"! The two of them are not on the same channel at all!
Sakura looked around with some confusion. She didn't know why, but the cold feeling that had been following her just now, almost freezing her bones, disappeared without a trace in an instant after she said those words, and the suffocating feeling of depression in the air also dissipated.
Behind the two of them, the "tree" - Uchiha Satsuki, finally understood everything.
Sakura did not want Naruto to alienate herself, nor did she viciously want Naruto to say those overly hurtful words to herself... What she did, those fierce words, were all because she mistakenly believed that a "love rival" had appeared, and she was trying to... protect herself? Want to help yourself "clear the roadblocks"?
Although being described as "disgusting", "annoying", and "a ungrateful idiot" by Sakura still made Satsuki a little angry, but compared to those hurtful words, Sakura's last words, which were almost shouted, really hit her heart and produced a completely different effect——
"Are you going to let Mr. Satsuki down?!"
Sakura She... is that what she thinks? In her eyes... are Naruto and I... the kind of relationship that we should be together as a matter of course?
Although the "maintenance" method is stupid as hell...
Satsuki is thinking like this. Is it so obvious to others that his thoughts are so obvious? It is obvious that Sakura will not hesitate to think that Naruto will "let down" himself if he accepts others?
And the word "let down" sounds like there was some silent agreement between Sasaki and Naruto.
All the resentment and murderous intentions vanished in an instant, replaced by a thumping, almost overflowing sense of happiness.
At the same time... Sakura's fierce words, which were completely based on misunderstanding, also violently split Naruto's nerves that were unusually slow in some aspects.
Disappointing... Satsuki's feelings?
This word hit Naruto's heart so hard that he couldn't help but start to think carefully about what happened that day.
Think about it carefully... although what Satsuki did on the day is indeed a bit... disastrous...
Cook for yourself - Although the salt content of the bento was enough to kill a cow, she made it herself and even wrapped it in a cloth and brought it over.
Give yourself a pet name - Although the name "Little Sun" made him dig his toes on the ground with embarrassment at the time, it seemed that she mustered up the courage to say it.
Praising yourself exaggeratedly - Although those hymns make people feel uncomfortable and even give rise to goosebumps, every word seems to be full of... adoration and love?
She even used a poetic metaphor - although "antelope cub" made him stunned on the spot, but that was probably the most "artful" way of complimenting she could think of, right?
Wait a minute... Although the process and results of these things are full of troubles that make people laugh or cry, their starting point... seems to be to please themselves? Is it to make yourself happy? Is it to... get closer to each other?
A possibility that I had never dared to think about in depth before suddenly entered Naruto's mind like a young girl emerging from the ground.
Could it be that... Satsuki she... wants to take her relationship with me... further?!
This idea sounds a bit narcissistic at first, but after ruling out all other possibilities, it seems to be the only reasonable explanation!
And what about yourself? He didn't even think about it at all, he called her "weird", and even... dragged her to the hospital directly?!
When he thought that he had given such a bad and hurtful response to Satsuki's feelings, Naruto felt a strong sense of shame and distress welling up in his heart, and his cheeks began to feel hot.
So... Naruto already fully understood what to say after finding Sasuki. He must apologize for Kazuten's stupid behavior and... respond to her properly.
"Have you really figured it out, Naruto?" Sakura looked at Naruto's firm expression in the end and confirmed with some uneasiness.
Naruto nodded, "Well! Thanks to your words, Sakura, I know what to do! Thank you very much!"
After constantly ensuring that he would handle this matter properly, Naruto finally succeeded in persuading Sakura, who was still a little skeptical, to leave.
Okay... The next step is to find Satsuki.
After Sakura's figure disappeared, Naruto's thoughts moved slightly. A shadow with a soft golden light and a strange shape - [Golden Experience] quietly appeared behind him. It leaned down and pressed its palms to the ground. The invisible Life Energy sensation quickly spread around like ripples.
I hope Satsuki hasn't gone too far... It should still be nearby, right? After all she looked so angry before...
Naruto's thoughts paused.
Because at the moment when [Golden Experience]'s sensory feedback came back, an extremely familiar Life Energy signal with extremely violent emotional fluctuations at the moment clearly appeared within his perception range——
And... the distance is ridiculously close! Almost there.
Naruto's eyes slowly turned to the edge of the training ground... to the extremely ordinary-looking tree not far away.
