She imagined countless possibilities: tactful rejection, serious avoidance, awkward silence, even confusion and panic...
But the only thing she didn't expect was such an understatement, as if she was stating an objective fact that she already knew!
This is even more difficult to deal with than outright rejection.
Did he "see it"? When did he see it? How did he see it? Since he saw it, why didn't he say anything? What does it mean to say it in such a plain tone now? Does it mean that he knows but doesn't care? Or does he think it is nothing at all?
Countless question marks exploded in Sakura's mind like Fireworks, causing all the courage and emotions she had mustered just now to be stuck in an embarrassing situation.
Naruto looked at Sakura who seemed to be choked, and seemed to finally realize that his response might be too "unexpected."
He blinked, with a troubled and helpless smile on his face, and scratched the back of his head.
"Well... I mean... well..."
Rarely, he seemed to be at a loss for words,
"I can probably... feel some of your thoughts. Just... if you don't mind."
Naruto thought of his past life.
It was probably an ordinary time after class, and the sun was shining in through the classroom window.
A few male classmates who had a relatively good relationship gathered together to chat, but the topic somehow turned to wild fantasies about the future.
"Hey, old X."
The classmate put his arm on Naruto's shoulder and asked with a narrow smile,
"If in the future, when you want to get married, would you choose whether you like me or whether I like you?"
"Who should I choose?"
"Hypothesize, don't be so serious."
At that time, Naruto, all he could think about was how to pass the exam and how to improve his damn English score. He had no idea about such distant things as "marriage", and his understanding of "like" was also unclear.
But he still frowned and thought seriously.
"If you have to say it..."
Naruto touched his chin with an expression that said, "I am conducting a serious strategic analysis."
"I will choose someone who likes me and doesn't hate me."
"Why?"
My classmates became interested.
Naruto looked matter-of-factly, raised his finger and analyzed,
"The person I like may not like me, and it may be troublesome to chase him, but he may not succeed."
"But the people who like me..."
His eyes lit up, as if he had discovered some great truth.
"Then she must like me. As long as I don't hate her, then I can give it a try!"
His analysis based on "efficiency" and "success rate" immediately made the classmates next to him burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha!"
The classmate who asked the question smiled evilly, suddenly hooked his arm around Naruto's neck, and shook him hard, laughing until he was out of breath.
"'What you like may not necessarily like you, but those who like you will definitely like you'?"
"Hey~ Holy shit, are you doing this and this with me?"
"Spring is here, it's here again... hahahahaha!"
The small classroom was filled with the heartless laughter of Young Narutos.
Naruto, also giggled, not feeling there was anything wrong with his logic at all.
Success?
My confession... unexpectedly... succeeded immediately?!
How to describe the feeling at this moment?
Sakura It feels like a dream.
My confession was successful immediately.
Among Pure Land.
Sage of Six Paths kept looking at Shinobi World, and behind him were Hashirama and Madara.
Hashirama raised his eyebrows and handed the mirror in his hand to Ban.
This mirror is Treasured Tool, Seven Sins Mirror of Sage of Six Paths. The value of Seven Deadly Sins of the person who is illuminated by the little finger-sized round mirror on the back of this mirror will be displayed on the front mirror.
"Madara, look, Naruto, the lust column suddenly jumped fifty points!"
The mirror shows the portrait of Naruto, and there are seven numerical values below.
Arrogance:120
Jealousy:6
Rage:30
Laziness:20
Greed:21
Gluttony:31
Lust:67
Madara took it and looked at the seven sins value of Naruto and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party's arrogance value was so high.
Then he pointed the small mirror on the back of the mirror at Sakura opposite Naruto.
The profile picture on the mirror changed to that of Sakura, and at the same time her Seven Sins Night Watch appeared.
Arrogance:27
Jealousy:52
Rage:60
Lazy:55
Greed:30
Gluttony:42
Lust:75
"Tsk." Seeing the "Lust" value of 75 points, Madara let out a disdainful click of the tongue without concealing it.
What are little girls thinking about nowadays?
Thinking like this, Madara was a little curious about what the panel of Hashirama would look like, so he turned the mirror to Hashirama.
Soon Seven Deadly Sins of Hashirama was also displayed.
Arrogance:50
Jealousy:0
Rage:50
Lazy:77
Greed:0
Gluttony:50
Lust:0
Madara:...
Where did Great Buddha come from?
He looked at the three eye-catching "0"s on the mirror, then looked up at Hashirama's innocent and bright smile, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Hashirama Is this guy... really human?
Madara rarely had such a question in his mind.
No jealousy? No greed? No lust.
This is simply not like a normal person!
No wonder Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands of Hashirama is Buddha Statue.
Even Sage of Six Paths, who had been maintaining the picture, was attracted at this moment.
He slowly drifted closer and his eyes fell on the Hashirama value displayed on the mirror. His old and wise face also showed a rare look of surprise and inquiry.
"Huh?"
Sage of Six Paths stroked his long beard, thoughtfully.
"I have lived for a long time and have observed the hearts of countless creatures. This is the first time I have seen such a 'strange' numerical distribution of the seven sins like Hashirama."
"Free from envy, greed and lust..."
Sage of Six Paths's gaze, with scrutiny and curiosity, turned to Hashirama Senju, who was also feeling a little novel about his own numerical values, rubbing the back of his head and smiling innocently.
Hashirama, is it really a normal human being?
Even Sage of Six Paths couldn't help but have similar questions to Madara.
Sage of Six Paths and Madara both focused their attention on Hashirama.
Madara's eyes were filled with disbelief, while Sage of Six Paths's eyes were filled with pure research interest.
Hashirama felt a little embarrassed by them, laughed loudly, and patted his chest hard.
"Hahaha! What's so strange about this? I think it's quite normal.
Why are you jealous of others? Isn't it good for everyone to coexist peacefully and become stronger together? Greedy? There is gambling...
Ah no, Konoha and everyone is enough! Lust?
Uh... Anyway, I think this is good!"
His explanation was just like the Hashirama that Madara knew when he was young, simple, direct, full of idealism and a certain degree of "insensitivity".
Looking at Hashirama's natural and unhindered appearance, although Madara still had a look of disgust on his face, the sense of absurdity caused by the numerical value in his heart gradually subsided.
Sage of Six Paths also nodded slightly, with a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
But judging from Hashirama's performance during his lifetime... this is quite reasonable.
