"To be honest, I quite like it here."

When she was in a bad mood, she often came to the uninhabited Uchiha territory.

"That's right, snow friend."

Sasuke suddenly called her name.

"Ok?"

He paused briefly, where to start?

Have I seen you here before?

That day, he was a little frustrated after failing to train the fire ball. He was wandering here and accidentally spotted a short-haired girl wearing long sleeves running towards the sky and shouting angrily: "Is there a ghost! Is there a ghost?! Is there a ghost? La!" After getting no response for a long time, he said to himself proudly, "I'll just say no, it's not Uchiha after all!"

weirdo.

But seeing such a funny look, his attention was sucked away by her, and the haze was swept away unknowingly, and he actually found it very interesting.

Obviously he is not from the Uchiha clan, why would he do this?

From the initial disgust to letting nature take its course, he couldn't figure out what she was thinking just based on her usual reactions.

"Why do you always follow me and why do you do this kind of thing?"

"Eh?"

After Yukiyu uttered the question words in his mouth, she noticed that Sasuke's expression was extremely serious and he was waiting for the answer. She immediately understood that she must take it seriously at this time.

But she never thought he would ask this. What was she going to answer?

What did he want him to answer?

Because Danzo asked me to spy on you? Because you are Uchiha Itachi's younger brother? Because if I don't report your situation I won't be able to go on? Because I admire your own way of doing things?

It's a pity...I can't say anything.

Or... another soft lie - I care about you?

Yes, she hastily decided in her mind. Pretend to be serious and say it sincerely and calmly.

"I……"

"You're not going to say--"

As Sasuke suddenly spoke first, and his voice overlapped, Yukiyo's ears buzzed as she prepared to lie, blocking out all the sounds of reality, as if she had fallen into a whirlpool, and she felt dizzy.

-

"No, Sasuke-kun!" Don't do stupid things! do not die! 』

She yelled, grabbing his arm tightly.

"who are you? ! I won't do anything stupid, let me go! 』

"I see you wandering near the river every day. I'm afraid you can't think about it..."

She answered with a sad face and aggrieved.

-

"……what?"

Xue You was stunned with a blue face and almost lost her balance. She frowned and said, "What did you say?...Why don't you die?"

She never said such a thing?

"I--"

forgotten……

all……?

It looked like she couldn't remember it at all.

The emotions in Sasuke's heart sank all at once. There was no response to what he was expecting, and all the bubbles disappeared. All he could do was hide his disappointment.

What was it just now?

Is it my memory? No impression at all.

Xueyou carefully searched his mind for the fragments of the flashback, but found nothing.

what exactly is it?

In the clip just now, she believed that there was someone who was her, but she was nowhere to be found.

"Forget it, nothing."

"But you have something you really want to ask me, right?"

"Just pretend you haven't heard of it."

Xueyou looked very strange, and he probably didn't want to listen to him anymore.

"Is it really okay?" She asked again to confirm.

"Let's talk about it later when we have time."

"Well, that's okay." Xueyou could accept his compromise idea, because it was a retreat. I had no intention of following his hesitant words, but now I just wanted to understand the anomaly just now.

"..."

in fact.

There will never be a next time.

The open-ended conversation is over.

He looked at the girl who kept thinking about it to no avail, and wanted to ask her the reason for stalking her for a long time. Although there was a little personal color mixed in, he knew in his heart that he would not ask her again.

Most of the time I won't be able to say it out loud.

because--

She seemed to have forgotten.

I didn't realize that she, who was known as a considerate person by those around her, would not understand the boy's hidden thoughts.

She also had inexplicable memories before, so she dismissed them as dreams and didn't pay much attention to them. The level just now meant that she had to figure out what was going on.

Not out of thin air.

Maybe... it has something to do with him?

Yukiyo looked up at the person at the entrance. He opened the door. It was dark inside, with only a little light from the outside. Sasuke skillfully lit the oil lamp with a match, lit it and walked in.

"here it is--?"

"The secret passage contains a stone tablet recording the secret of the Sharingan." He said as if he was explaining deliberately.

"It's amazing." Xueyou exclaimed, then became confused, "Is it really okay if you let me follow you down?"

"Do you want to stay up there?" He stopped and asked halfway through.

"No... I just feel a little embarrassed." If she was left alone up there, it would be better to stay with him.

"It's useless for a guy without Sharingan to see."

The cold-faced but extremely gentle reply was intended to excuse her, but she immediately shrank her neck after hearing it.

"Ah, that's right!" Xueyou said with a guilty smile: "I understand. It's like showing a scroll of forbidden arts to a person without chakra that it has no use at all, right? Right? That should be the case, right? It really is!"

"No need to repeat it so many times."

"Sorry……"

Yukiyo knew what she was thinking, and it was a bad thing to deceive him, but she wanted to know the specific knowledge of the Sharingan, so she decided to take a look.

Although I don't know what caused him to suddenly let me into the Uchiha mansion, maybe he was in a good mood? He was clearly unhappy when I saw him just now.

Could it be that... thinking of the silhouette just now, Xueyou might guess that she had a relationship with him? When did that happen?

Forget it, no matter how you think about it, it's impossible. She and Sasuke really got acquainted just because a team had to perform a mission, and stalking them before didn't count.

Recently, my memory has become confusing, and some unidentifiable things appeared in my mind out of thin air. At first, I thought it was a dream. The snow friend shook his head and walked down while holding on to the bumpy wall, but since it affected his life, he had to care.

Unconsciously, she walked to the bottom of the basement. As the candles in the darkness were lit one by one, a mural occupying a small wall appeared in front of her.

-

"Ah? Snow friend is not at home?"

Ino's voice dragged out for a long time. She finally skipped her shift at the flower shop to look for her, but since she wasn't here, the trip was in vain.

"Unfortunately, she was too much trouble at home, so I kicked her out." Saaki Aoga moved the new windows under Konoha to the living room bit by bit, preparing to replace the ones damaged during the battle.

Ino walked in and glanced around the room, "It's true that the damage here was very serious after the war. It needs to be repaired all the time, right? She is a guy who has just been discharged from the hospital and can't rest at home, but wouldn't it be faster for the two of you to work together? "

"She can't help me." Saaki Qinghe removed the broken window, and the broken glass fell to the floor due to his rough hands as an amateur.

"She can still do simple cleaning. Why don't you want her to do it?" Ino said deliberately.

He didn't want to answer.

Out of guilt for some stupid ninja and to protect her fragile self-esteem, he couldn't answer truthfully.

Saaki Aoga simply focused on the work in hand and remained silent.

"Are you returning her favor for saving you?" Ino asked again, but she should have understood that he probably wouldn't respond to this sentence either, so she said in a self-questioning and answering manner: "If she has a burdened mentality, You will definitely be unhappy looking at her.”

He just had some regrets.

The incident between Nakagawa Ye and Nakagawa Isamu was a big blow to her, and it was also a big blow to him. He understood that he was the starting point. He found her dying in the messy ruins. He didn't know how to use medical ninjutsu, and watched helplessly as the person in his arms gradually lost his breath. The doctor who came verbally issued a death notice, and he was so desperate that he didn't know what to do.

If she hadn't come then.

If that cold-faced woman didn't come.

I'm afraid snow friends will die because of him.

"No matter what, she came to save me. Thanks and care are what I should do."

She got into trouble trying to find me.

And I would just sit back and watch.

"Hey...you actually blame yourself quite a bit." Ino opened another topic. "Do you know where she went?"

"She probably went out to play. I thought she would look for you. Of course, she might also go shopping."

"You're kidding, she will definitely call me when she goes out on the street. It's unlikely that she will go alone." Ino relied on her intimate knowledge of her close friends, and she was confident to the point of being conceited.

"Hmm..." Saaki Aoga thought for a while, "Are you going to go play with Sakura? Or are you just hanging out alone?"

"I met Sakura before I came here," Ino thought. "She probably went out for a walk. I'll start from the park first - of course, she may go to a place I don't know for training."

"Well, yes." Saaki Aoga recalled that she was always unwilling to accept a decline in ability. Although she was often lazy when dealing with things, she was still diligent in Ninjutsu. "But, you don't need to see her right away, right?"

Ino smiled slyly: "I don't want to go home and continue to help for the time being. No matter how diligent the flower shop girl is, she must have her own rest time!"

Saaki Aohe understood and said sincerely: "After I clean up the house, I will go to the flower shop to help."

"You should rest, you still have a lot to deal with." Ino pointed to the broken windows on the ground, "I have been working hard for snow friends for more than a month. You should take a rest and go back to work later. My mother and I both we have a deal."

Saaki Aoga laughed. While expressing his gratitude for her reasonable words, he also did not forget to say teasingly: "Then, thank you, Miss Hua."

It was easy to understand, calling her "Flower" because she sells flowers, but when she came to Ino, her mood obviously changed. Sasaki Aoga noticed that her eyes were evasive and her expression was a little wrong.

He asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"..."

A fleeting unpleasant memory.

Ino took a deep breath and finally spoke.

"No, it's fine."

"Ino, you-"

She still looked reluctant. Saoki Aoga wanted to say a few more greetings, but she was about to leave immediately, said hello and left in a hurry.

run away.

Saaki Aoga scratched his head, only thinking of this word to describe it. He didn't remember that he had offended her, for the same reason, but Ino's reaction was clearly trying to avoid something.

"There's something wrong with her."

Looking down from the window to see her leaving figure. In the battle with Sakura, for the sake of Mingshi, the golden ponytail cut off with a kunai was left with a jagged piece of hair, which became more and more brilliant in the sun. Different from Yuki Yu's sickly shriveled and thin body, her arc is more consistent. Girls, elastic and well-grown, slender but not thin. He murmured as the narcissus-like presence faded away.

It was just a title, and her frightened expression appeared in front of him, and Saaki Aoga suddenly felt very interesting. If she continues to stay here, he may follow his bad nature and make things even more difficult for her.

flower.

Would a girl who works with flowers be disgusted by the name of a flower?

No matter how you look at it, there are problems.

"Well, if I come back and ask her, she will definitely say that I am a bad and boring person, and she will also forbid me from talking about such things. After all, I am discussing right and wrong behind my back - she is such a bad person."

Saaki Aoga pressed hard on the window frame and carefully fixed it in with a hammer. When he thought of having such an upright person beside him, he couldn't be interested in his hobbies and even became a lazy guy.

It is only when he complains that his essence can be discovered.

Her world is too monotonous.

He didn't realize it until he got to know her innocence.

It was so monotonous that even a complete version of himself couldn't fit in.

flower.

Ino walked down the street as she pleased.

She always felt that if this word was used in a name, it would be very rustic.

It's hard to use, and it doesn't sound good, just like a child from the countryside who comes to the city.

Why did those two people give themselves such inconspicuous names?

"This child is the flower conceived by the two of us——"

That woman once said that.

With expectations, like the wind, gentle.

Even if she tried hard to recall, their faces were getting blurry little by little. She would have recognized them immediately if they met, but without photos, she couldn't fabricate their appearance by relying on imagination.

"I have forgotten that I was once called 'Hua'."

She looked down at the wild flowers on the roadside and whispered.

"A fragile flower that no one loves."

Ino took two steps forward, picked off the wild flowers, and said with a smile: "And it will break as soon as you break it."

Why didn't anyone want it to be born anymore?

"Because weeds without love are aliens that should be excluded——"

She threw away the flowers in her hand, enjoying herself as if she was feeling sorry for herself.

-

I really can't understand it.

Xueyou stared blankly at the wall. He knew most of the words on it, but how could he put them together into his mind and not understand them at all?

"...What the hell."

It took her a long while before she uttered a sentence. Unlike her, the boy next to her looked at the words that she could not understand with unusual seriousness.

"Can you understand them?"

Xueyou asked in surprise, pointing at the wall.

"No, not all."

"oh oh."

She tried her best to take a few glances, then simply gave up her struggle and stood aside, distracted.

"..."

"..."

"Snow friend."

"what happened?"

"..." After several calls, the only response was to call her by name. Sasuke stared at her for a while and finally said: "Let's go."

"Where are you going to go next, practice? Or go home?" she asked.

Sasuke didn't think about this issue too carefully. If she didn't show up, he would probably continue to practice.

"If you have nothing to do or are bored," she said enthusiastically when she noticed that Sasuke didn't answer, "you can go to the Konoha Library. There are a lot of new books there, not just novels, but also some ninjutsu scrolls. Maybe you'll be interested."

Although I wanted to give him more suggestions to relax his mood, the snow friend's own life was very boring and he couldn't think of anything else at the moment.

The two of them returned the same way. What was originally chasing me turned into walking side by side. Along the way, you and I chatted together, most of which were mentioned by snow friends, and Sasuke replied with a sentence or two to end it.

It's normal, after all, the two of them actually have nothing in common.

When Xueyou racked her brains to come up with almost no chat content, she was saved by something coming from afar.

A bird flew towards them, Sasuke naturally stretched out his hand, and it sat on it obediently.

"Your bird?"

"It's Kakashi, he wants to see me for something."

"oh oh……"

The snow friends knew that their walk was over.

I originally wanted to find some other ways to make him happy, but with Kakashi here, maybe the master and apprentice would be more harmonious, at least they wouldn't be like them, a little embarrassed, unable to find a topic no matter how hard they tried.

"Then I'll go back and--"

Before they could say goodbye, Sasuke let go of the bird and said to her who was waiting for her: "It just so happens that I am also going to the east of Konoha Village."

Let's go together.

"--See."

Xueyou was stunned for two seconds, retracted his words, and proactively said: "Let's go together."
