Sasuke's resistance only made Sakura drool.
Normally, when she saw Sasuke's handsome face, she only indulged in fantasies. She would never have dared actually put her hands on him.
Fortunately, Pakura, her teacher's wife, had told her to go after a boy she liked.
To grow closer to Sasuke, she had forced herself to overcome her girlish shyness!
She had visited his home and trained alongside him...
Who would have thought she would improve this much!
And Sasuke?
After struggling for a while, he still got nowhere!
It was bad enough that his teacher had said he couldn't beat Naruto...
Now he couldn't even beat a girl!
The confidence he had just built up... collapsed in an instant...
He had even lost to a girl twice!
Sasuke's world turned bleak in an instant, and even the sky lost its light.
"Don't be sad, Sasuke. Our teacher told me that you and Naruto are both incredibly talented. You just need a little more training under your belts..."
"Don't comfort me..."
Two trails of tears slipped from the corners of Sasuke's eyes, making him look even more like a tragic beauty!
Sakura fought back the urge to tease him and wanted to keep comforting him.
But she was afraid he would get upset...
Almost without thinking, she reached out a finger and wiped away Sasuke's tears.
That instantly shattered Sasuke's defenses!
Only three people had ever done that: his mother, his brother, and his teacher!
Only in front of those three would Sasuke show his vulnerable side!
But... Sakura was a peer his own age!
A girl who keeps pestering me... beating me was bad enough... now she's even comforting me!
"Sasuke... your eyes?"
Sakura watched the single tomoe in Sasuke's Sharingan turn slowly, gradually becoming two tomoe!
"W-w-w-w-w-w..."
