Naruto Flower Stem

Chapter 66

"Come in." I sideways let them into the room, then poured two cups of tea and put them on the table. Fortunately, I cleaned up yesterday so it wouldn't be so messy.

Sakura and Naruto sat down, looked at each other, and then turned their heads to me and said, "Huajing, we all know...you like Gaara very much...so, you must be sure that he is going to fight Akatsuki tomorrow." Are you worried? We..."

"I know..." I interrupted them with a smile.

Just trying to comfort me.I am very grateful to them.However, what I have already decided will not be easily changed.

I have to face Akatsuki alone, and that will not change.

"Sakura, Naruto, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine, I love him...it's Kazekage, he's the head of this village, all of this is what he has to do, I don't have any worries, really of."

"Really...?" Sakura still couldn't believe it.

I nodded vigorously, "Well! Really... Gaara is very strong, he can definitely defeat Akatsuki, and... don't you still have you? Ah... I'll get you some water." I picked up Naruto The empty glass went aside.

Sakura behind her smiled with relief.

But they didn't see the expression on my face when I turned my head.

I really don't want to lie to them, but this time, I have to.

It was night, and the full moon hanging in the sky exuded a bleak light.The light shone on my long light blonde hair, which seemed to have turned white as well.

The incomparable face of the god suddenly flashed in front of my eyes, and her hair color was also silvery white...

It's just that hers shows dignity, while mine heralds parting.

Such a pale color, not suitable for such a day.

Tomorrow, it's coming...

"Temari-san, where is Gaara?"

I knocked on the door of Gaara's house, and Temari stood in front of the door, looking at me who had been haggard for a few days, and patted me on the shoulder with some distress.

I raised my head and smiled at her, but it was hard to smile as brightly as usual.

Well, take this opportunity to see her more, maybe after tomorrow, I won't be able to see her again...

"He's inside, he hasn't eaten much for two days, except that he shut himself in the room to rest and prepare for the battle in Fengying's office... But if this goes on... Huageng, don't pay attention to his behavior that day, he just It's too hard to accept the fact that the village has been destroyed like this, he values ​​you so much, he won't blame you...so go and persuade him...at least...he is also my brother..."

Temari finished the long sentence in one breath.

Tears almost fell when I heard the last sentence.

Their parents are both dead, and now she only has two younger brothers by her side, no matter how fierce they are on weekdays, these two younger brothers are the most important relatives in her heart.

Brother Kankuro is already injured, so how can I watch Gaara go to die?
Even if it's not for Gaara, but just for Temari-san, Kankuro-san, and this village, I can't just stand aside and watch others fight.

I, it's time to do something.

After agreeing to Temari-san, I walked into Gaara's room with the food she had prepared long ago.

The door of the room was ajar, I opened it and walked in quietly, Gaara was sitting by the window looking at the dark scenery outside in a daze.

"Flower stem..." He didn't seem to think that I would come to him, and his tone was a bit surprised.

I smiled and didn't answer.When he put the food on the table and turned to look at him again, he had put away his surprise and turned his gaze out of the window again.

It is indeed much cooler than before...

Is it because of the pressure from the village that you have no energy to take care of me anymore, or is it because my relationship has hurt the village that you subconsciously want to stay away from me?

I really don't know what is on your mind.

"They will come tomorrow..." I walked over and stood behind him, looking out the window with him.

There is no special scenery, only the darkness, and the sound of the wind blowing, knocking on the glass, and crackling can be heard faintly.It's like my mood at the moment, uneasy, and it's hard to hide my restless emotions.

"Hmm." He responded softly.

"I heard from Sister Shouju that you haven't eaten well these days." I brought the food over and put it in front of him without allowing him to resist. "If you don't eat well, your body will have no strength. Fighting, I can't fight well...I...I will worry about you..."

The more I spoke, the thinner my voice was until it was buried in my throat, leaving only a slight choking.

The tears I wanted to shed were still suppressed by me.

Endure it...bear it...at least I can't let him find out what's wrong with me right now...I kept telling myself that the firmness in my heart actually forced the tears back.

The food was still hot on the plate.

I picked up a rice ball and stuffed it into his hand.

Gaara looked at the rice ball in his hand and was stunned for a long time.In the end, I put it to my mouth and took a bite, chewing slowly.

"Hey... Gaara, if I'm not by your side, you must eat well, don't let Teju-san worry... And... don't just put on a cold face and ignore other people, always be like Smile at me like that, um... remember to rest, you can't deal with business in the office all day..."

"Stalk?" He suddenly stopped me.

"Huh?" I raised my head, he had already finished eating the rice balls, and the eyes he was looking at me at this moment... were full of worry, strangeness, helplessness, and self-blame.

"Why are you saying this all of a sudden..."

"No. No...I just look at your appearance these days, look at you...you look so bad...I...I can't. Stay by your side all day and watch you eat and rest, so You have to take good care of yourself..."

In fact, when I was with Gaara, I couldn't take care of him at all.

Every time it was me who was wayward, every time he helped me clean up the mess, he reminded me when I was eating and sleeping, and he stayed by my side every night when I was sick.

Every time... I am basically a role to be taken care of.

It will only cause him trouble.

When I was young, I was always by his side to take care of him and protect him like a big sister.But since when did our roles switch positions?I didn't even notice it...but I have to admit, it feels really good to be taken care of...so good that I miss it even if I don't see it for a moment.

What a child I was myself, and he had grown up.

Anyway, I am also a person who has lived twice, and I must have much more life experience than him.But it is precisely because he is by his side that he can do what he wants to do unscrupulously, without endless willfulness and childishness.

It's time to end.

This time it's me.

The village is also protected by me.
