On our way back.

We haven't held hands since we came out of Miss Tenten's shop. I was about to take the initiative and ask Sasuke-sama if he wanted to hold hands together, even though he has now adapted well to the speed of two people walking side by side.

Suddenly there was a chill on my forehead, and I touched it with my index finger: "...Is it raining?"

Hearing this, Lord Sasuke raised his head and looked at the sky, which was indeed gloomy.

I looked up at Sasuke-sama, and there were drops of water dripping on his lower eyelids. He blinked subconsciously. He was attracted by my laughter and looked over in confusion.

I explained: "The water drops fell down like tears."

Sasuke-sama didn't say anything, he just glanced at me without any trace.

He thought it was dewdrops on the leaves. Just as he was trying to wipe them off, in the blink of an eye, heavy rain fell from the sky, and the sky turned dark.

"There is a wooden pavilion ahead!" I recovered and pointed to the building not far away, and took Sasuke-sama's gloved hand. Because it was very close to me, I thought it was important to take shelter from the rain now.

But it didn't pull, so I turned around strangely. Sasuke-sama was very calm and exerted a little force. The situation was reversed and it was my turn to be taken into his arms. I was stunned, and we had already arrived at the rain shelter.

Sasuke-sama lowered his head and calmly looked at me with a somewhat surprised look: "You can teleport, why are you running? Aren't you wearing clogs?"

I was stunned, stepped out of his arms, stood still, and clapped dryly: "Wow, that's amazing."

Master Sasuke snorted softly, feeling like he was not proud even after being praised. He turned to look at the rain without looking at me: "It's nothing..."

But does the raised corner of his mouth mean that he is still quite useful?

Me: "It's raining really hard..."

Lord Sasuke: "Yeah."

There was silence for a moment, and I looked outside the pavilion. The rain was falling very intensively, and a series of streams flowed down from the eaves, collecting in the channels on both sides of the path and flowing to lower areas.

Then he looked at the green leaves on the branches that had been severely beaten by the heavy rain.

I closed my eyes and bowed to an unknown shrine on the roadside.

…Anyway, I hope it won’t rain for too long.

Master Sasuke's calm voice sounded in his ears: "It won't last long."

"How do you know what I'm thinking?"

"Just say whatever you want."

"Oh."

After watching the rain scene for a while, I became bored. I turned my head to look at Sasuke-sama. The hair on one side of his face was dripping with water droplets. Most of it fell on the cloak. Some of it slid along the corner of his jaw, slid down his neck and entered the collar. in.

He suddenly looked at me sideways: "What are you looking at?"

There must have been only a little more rain on my body. I blinked and said honestly, "I was wondering if your body temperature would rise again if you were exposed to the rain just after you recovered."

Lord Sasuke didn't care at all: "Don't worry."

He explained: "Last night, the immune response produced by the body that received Hashirama cells was different from a normal fever."

I understood a little bit when I heard it, and my voice trembled because I caught a cold: "So that's it."

"Are you cold?" Master Sasuke looked a little worried.

I crossed my arms and said, "It's okay..."

Sasuke-sama wanted to take off his long black cloak and give it to me, but I quickly stopped him: "It's just that the sleeves are a bit windy..."

"That's it..." Sasuke-sama thought for a moment, lifted up a corner of his cloak, and for a moment my back was pressed against a warm body, his arms only vaguely wrapped around my shoulders.

I paused, Sasuke-sama actually shared his cloak with me. However, having said that, the cold did stop immediately, which was good, but why did I feel a little hot...

Fortunately, there was no one else on the road because the location where I live is quite remote.

I always felt that this posture was a bit subtle. I didn't dare to move. I felt that Sasuke-sama's body was also a bit stiff. I don't know if it was my imagination.

It became quiet, and there was only the noisy sound of rain in my ears.

After a while the rain continued to fall, but a little less.

I didn't feel cold at all, so I pulled away a little, and then suggested: "It's a little hot... should we sit on a stool?"

There was a gap in the middle, and he was a little hesitant because of my movements.

The bench was a little wet because of the splashing rain, but I didn't care and just wanted to make this strange atmosphere disappear as soon as possible.

They both sat down at the same time in silence, with the cloak still half covering me.

Sasuke-sama put his hands on his thighs, and I dug at the gaps between my nails, even though there were no dirty bits for me to lick.

Me: "You..."

Lord Sasuke: "You..."

We looked at each other and said at the same time: "What do you want to say?"

Inexplicably, it became quiet again.

Suddenly my cheek was clamped by a hand, and I was forced to raise my head. I felt the flesh on my face swelled. Sasuke-sama's other free hand slowly wiped away the remaining water droplets on my forehead, leaving some itch. touch.

I don't know why, but two hands were holding my face. I was confused: "...what's wrong?"

Sasuke-sama was a little hesitant to look at me directly for a moment. His strange-colored eyes reflected the way I was staring at him. When others speak, they should make certain eye contact. This is what the teacher taught me.

After a while, he suddenly said: "I want to kiss you."

...I actually vaguely guessed it, but I didn't expect that I guessed it right. My roommates used to like to discuss these pink bubbles in the dormitory.

I nodded, but when I saw Sasuke-sama's face coming closer, it felt very sudden, and I felt a little regretful, so I simply closed my eyes. I was already nervous enough, but looking at him again made it even worse.

After a brief kiss, because it was just a normal touch, he calmed down and looked outside the pavilion again, repeating the words: "What did you want to say just now?"

I always feel shy.

Because my face is also very red.

I glanced at him, knowing that he would not look back for a while, and asked a strange question: "I would like to ask if there is any ninjutsu that can get you home immediately without getting wet..."

"No."

"Okay, let's wait until the rain stops..."

"Ah."

By the time Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Mai arrived at the door of Konoha, the other members of Team 7 had already been waiting for them for a long time.

This was the second time Mai met Kakashi. The first time was when she and Sasuke went to the Hokage Tower to get their marriage certificate with their personal information.

At that time, Kakashi was immersed in heavy work. After hearing Sasuke's request, he raised his head and gave a surprised expression: "Marry?"

Then the official seal was stamped smoothly.

His surname is no longer Haruhi, but Guanhu's surname.

From then on, they were an official couple in the legal sense.

Then when he proposed to leave the village for a trip, Kakashi didn't react so much. He just said silently: "...Yes, yes, but if there is an emergency in the village, can I recall you?"

Naturally, he nodded silently and agreed.

At the door, Kakashi showed a half-drooped dead fish eye and said calmly: "The appeal is accepted because you have made outstanding achievements in lifting the Infinite Tsukuyomi. However, you have really done a lot of random things in the past. I hope that in the future As a wife, Mai can discipline him well..."

Being called out by name suddenly, it was still such a request. Mai thought it was okay, probably... thought about it for a while and finally nodded: "I think this is what it should be."

Seeing her stunned look, Uchiha Sasuke tilted his head and smiled, and then said to Kakashi: "I know, I still want you to tell me."

Kakashi complained: "It's still the same..."

Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura were only concerned: "It took a lot of effort for Team 7 to get together, but you actually plan to travel with Mai-chan, and you choose a time when the village is so busy!"

Uchiha Sasuke didn't care about them: "Yes, honeymoon."

Hearing this, both Naruto and Sakura blushed. The young boy who didn't understand when the white-haired witch asked him to borrow power seemed to have grown up a lot. He hesitated and shouted: "Mai-chan, please be careful about Sasuke. "

Mai tilted her head and smiled quite calmly: "Are you talking about having a baby?"

Naruto was shocked: "Are you so straight..." Sakura covered her face and told Naruto to stop talking.

Sasuke sneered, then took the forehead protector from Naruto and put it in his pocket. He took Mai's hand and said without looking back, "Nothing else, let's go then."

At first, Mai would wave her head back from time to time to say goodbye. Eventually, Sasuke hugged her shoulders impatiently, but his tone was as calm as ever: "...that's enough, it's not like I won't come back."

Mai turned her head and smiled: "Then where should we go first?"

Sasuke said indifferently: "Let's find a hotel today. Do you want to take a hot spring bath?"

At this time, half of spring has passed but the weather is still relatively cold, so she has no reason to refuse.

In the end, I didn't stay at the hotel that day. I walked to the border of Konoha and met a mighty caravan. They traveled everywhere with the changes of the seasons. This was consistent with Sasuke and the others, so they stayed there that night. Tent, soak in the open-air hot spring.

I happened to have no specific plan, so I simply followed the caravan.

They also put on clothes similar to theirs.

Mai also thought that traveling in clogs was not a good idea, so she picked out pink robes and dark brown soft leather boots, which seemed no different from those on the caravan.

There was a bonfire party in the evening, and the couple sat together and watched.

Mai went from watching others dancing to looking at the people around her, lowering her head to look at the hands the two people were holding together.

Wearing a cloak with a similar eye color to her own, her hair was wrapped in a scarf, and the remaining ends of her hair were slightly raised. The reflection of the flames dyed different colors in her black eyes. She stared at it for a while, and suddenly, a strange color appeared. His eyes squinted over and met him exactly.

Sasuke had a smile in his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "What are you looking at?"

Mai said honestly: "I look at you because you are very handsome."

Sasuke paused, and the corners of his mouth curled deeper: "Idiot..."

Then Sasuke was called by the elders of the caravan, and Mai wanted to follow, so he had no choice but to hold Mai's shoulders and comfort him: "I'll be back soon."

The caravan is responsible for food, accommodation and transportation, but Sasuke must bear the obligation to protect the caravan until he returns to Konoha again next spring.

Seeing how Mai looked very novel while listening to the girl's story about the origin of this caravan, he felt that he had no reason to refuse.
