Konoha: This Sasuke is not too cold

"Shh!"

The speed back was much slower than when we came, which was Hinata's request.

She rarely left the village since she was a child. In the past, she only went to the Fire City with Hinata and Hinata to visit some family friends, that is, those nobles.

Of course, another reason is that staying with Sasuke gives her a sense of security, which makes her enjoy this feeling.

However, her expectations were destined to fail.

"Sass!"

A hoarse shout containing emotion came from below, making both Sasuke and Hinata frown.

"It's this guy again..." X2

Both of them couldn't help but have such an idea in their minds.

The most outrageous thing is that the two of them were still flying in the sky, three to forty meters above the ground, with huge rice balls under their feet. How did Naruto see it?

Hinata and Sasuke looked at each other and looked down...

"Hinata! Here!"

In the open space next to the creek below, more than 20 people looked up curiously with their heads raised.

Sakura also noticed Hinata looking down and couldn't help but wave her hand.

"It looks like you're here for a picnic. Do you want to go down and have a look?"

Sasuke glanced at it and asked with a frown.

"Go and have a look. It would be rude to leave like this."

Hinata also sighed helplessly. Although she didn't want to go down, her training as a Hyuga lady did not allow her to do such a rude thing.

Sasuke nodded and told Onigiri to lower his height through the psychic contract.

There were still about ten meters above the ground. The two of them jumped off the rice ball's back one after the other and landed lightly on the ground.

When the passengers got off the plane, the rice ball turned around and flew into the distance. It didn't like the dense forest, which affected its ability to hunt for food.

Unless there is a use for it, Sasuke generally does not interfere with Onigiri's will.

"Long time no see! My best friend!"

As soon as he landed, a yellow-haired man rushed toward him. His somewhat chubby tone made Sasuke frown.

"Don't be so rude! You idiot!"

Sakura grabbed Naruto's back collar with quick eyes and hands, and spoke in a bad tone.

With his goddess grabbing the scruff of fate, Naruto was as soft as an orange cat and was easily pulled back by Sakura.

Sasuke glanced at Naruto, nodded politely, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the others.

Almost all the people here are Sasuke's former classmates, but there are only a few people he can name. This is because he has watched [Naruto], otherwise the number will probably be even smaller.

He had little interest in remembering the names of the weak.

Everyone's reactions vary, with girls generally being nymphomaniacs and boys generally being unhappy.

The girl looked at Hinata with envy. After all, the two of them would appear together in such a strange way. Even Dodo (Tsunade's pig) didn't believe it when she said it didn't matter.

Especially Hinata standing behind Sasuke, looking like a little wife, made some boys who had a crush on Hinata gnash their teeth.

Sasuke always had that cold look on his face, looking away without saying a word.

"What a coincidence, we didn't expect to meet you here"

Hinata politely took a step forward, stood side by side with Sasuke, and smiled.

"Hinata, where are you going?"

Ino asked curiously, and glanced at Sasuke. She keenly noticed that Sasuke had a new hairstyle.

"We went to the Valley of the End. It was convenient for Sasuke-kun's psychic beast to travel, so I asked him to take me there. After all, I have been curious about that place for a long time."

Facing Ino's question, Hinata responded fluently.

"The Valley of the End! Tell me, what's it like there? I'm also very curious!"

"Sorry, Sasuke-kun, I can borrow Hinata first!"

Ino's eyes lit up, he stepped forward and took Hinata's hand, showed a naughty smile to Sasuke, and then pulled Hinata aside.

Hinata looked back at Sasuke, and seeing Sasuke nodding towards her, she let Ino pull her away.

Hinata was dragged away by Ino. None of the others were very familiar with Sasuke, and Sasuke's "keep away from strangers" attitude had dissuaded most of them, so no one came forward to talk to them.

Naruto looked at Sasuke and saw that no one invited him. His eyes lit up and he was about to speak, but another person beat him to it.

"Sasuke, if you don't mind, come and sit here."

Shikamaru's somewhat lazy voice came from the side, and beside him was a chubby little guy.

Although it was said to be a class picnic, it was divided into large and small groups.

Apparently, Shikamaru's group only consists of him and Choji.

Faced with Shikamaru's invitation, Sasuke did not refuse.

"Long time no see, how have you been lately?"

Seeing Sasuke coming over, Shikamaru asked casually.

"not bad"

Sasuke's words were still very brief. In fact, he said very little to everyone except Hinata.

Shikamaru also didn't recommend Sasuke's cold reaction, or he was already used to it.

"Long time no see, Sasuke, please eat."

Choji showed a hearty smile, picked up a bag of potato chips from the picnic cloth and handed it to Sasuke.

"Thank you"

Facing Choji's kindness, Sasuke did not refuse. Potato chips from Akimichi Choji were rare.

Of course, if there weren't dozens of packages of potato chips on the picnic cloth, it might be even more rare...

"I heard that you traveled out of the village some time ago. I really envy your free life." Shikamaru said slowly while lying on the grass beside him, looking at the white clouds in the sky.

“It’s just a matter of choice”

Sasuke casually found a piece of grass to sit down and said calmly.

"Would the choice be different..."

"But sometimes you have no choice." Shikamaru chuckled.

"Maybe"

Sasuke was noncommittal about Shikamaru's net-inhibiting speech.

He does not want to interfere with other people's choices, nor will he do so. Everyone is an independent individual with his own will and emotions. This is proof of the existence of intelligent creatures.
