Early in the morning, Hinata and Sakura, who had just finished breakfast, were washing dishes by the sink.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk..."

"coming!"

Sakura suddenly heard a knock on the door and quickly wiped her hands on her apron before going to answer it.

As soon as Sakura opened the door, she saw Sasuke with several pieces of gauze and Band-Aids on his face.

"Sasuke, you are..."

Sakura frowned slightly.

Sasuke's current strength has reached the threshold of a jonin. No one in Konoha who has the ability to hurt Sasuke like this will attack Sasuke, unless...

"Don't worry about it, Sakura."

Sasuke was afraid that Sakura would notice something, so he quickly interrupted Sakura's thoughts.

"I came here today to ask you out for a walk."

Sasuke told the truth about the purpose of his visit.

"Eh?"

Sakura was stunned for a moment. Has Sasuke, this straight man, finally come to his senses?

But she didn't remember having any strategy to conquer Sasuke.

"Kacha!"

There was a sound of plates breaking in the kitchen.

"Why so sudden?"

Sakura ignored the accident in the kitchen and asked Sasuke curiously.

But Sasuke did not answer Sakura's question, and stood silently at the door of Sakura's house.

"Anyway, you better come in first, I'll help you treat your wound."

It was not a good idea to continue the stalemate, so Sakura pulled Sasuke into the door.

"Click——"

The moment Sakura and Sasuke held hands together, a crisp sound was heard in the kitchen again.

......

"hiss--"

In Sakura's room, Sakura was wiping the wound on Sasuke's cheek with a cotton ball soaked in medicine. Sasuke felt the pain and couldn't help frowning and making a sound.

"Just bear with it and it will pass. Wait for me to clean the wound and use medical ninjutsu so that it won't leave scars."

Sakura was not affected and continued to apply medicine to Sasuke slowly.

Sasuke looked at Sakura's serious expression and his brows relaxed a lot.

As a medical ninja, Sakura treating Sasuke is like a daily routine.

But when it was really time to say goodbye, Sasuke realized how beautiful this scene was that he had become accustomed to.

Sakura is so outstanding, maybe I am the only one who doesn't realize it; it's not so much that I didn't realize it, it's more like I realized it but didn't want to admit it.

Everyone likes Sakura. Just now when Hinata was leaving, she glared at him. Sasuke could be sure that there was real murderous intent in Hinata's eyes.

"Okay, it's almost done!"

After applying the medicine, Sakura used medical ninjutsu to heal Sasuke's injuries.

"Well, do you want to go for a walk?"

Sasuke asked Sakura again, and this time there was a hint of pleading in his eyes.

"it is good."

Sakura agreed and walked out the door side by side with Sasuke.

Just like that, the two of them didn't speak, but just walked side by side silently in Konoha Village, occasionally chatting.

Ninja school where we had been classmates for many years;

The training ground where they fought side by side for the first time;

The Forest of Death where he fought a hard battle with Orochimaru;

Ichiraku Ramen is a celebrity favorite...

Before they knew it, the sun was about to set, and the two finally arrived at one of the symbols of Konoha - Hokage Rock.

Sitting cross-legged on top of Naruto's father, Sakura and Sasuke shared the three-colored meatballs in the paper bag.

"I remember you didn't like sweets."

Sakura joked.

"I'm not averse to sweet things per se, it's just that Itachi likes to eat sweets, and eating these things always reminded me of him."

Sasuke replied.

"Oh? 'Before'."

"Now I understand that if I don't accept this, I will live in hatred all my life.

It's not worth it to let that guy influence my preferences."

Sasuke had a look of relief on his face.

"It's great that you can let it go."

Sakura ate the last of the meatballs with a smile, crumpled the paper bag containing the bamboo sticks into a ball, and threw it casually at Sasuke.

Sasuke also understood and spit out a fireball from his mouth, burning the garbage.

This is not the first time Sasuke has done this. Sakura rarely litters. Basically, she will burn garbage like this that does not produce toxic smoke when burned by herself.

“The sunset is so beautiful!”

After dealing with the garbage, Sakura looked at the setting sun that was burying its face in the distant mountains.

"It is indeed beautiful."

Sasuke looked at Sakura's profile and sighed.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on Sakura's fair skin, reflecting a different kind of brilliance.

These were the peaceful days that Sasuke had never cherished before.

"Sakura, I..."

Sasuke wanted to tell Sakura what he was thinking, but he didn't know how to start.

"Are we going to Orochimaru's place?"

Sakura was still looking at the sunset in the distance, her expression unchanged.

"You know everything."

Sasuke smiled bitterly and shook his head. In the end, he still couldn't hide it.

"When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. You have changed so much, something must have happened.

Today we toured Konoha, and our final destination was the Hokage Rock, which overlooks the entire Konoha. It's easy to imagine that this is a place you want to take a closer look at your favorite village before leaving."

Sakura explained.

After hearing what Sakura said, Sasuke smiled slightly and added in his heart:

"Is it just the village you like?"

"Don't worry, since you have made up your mind, just go for it. As your companion, I will not stop you."

Having said this, Sakura turned her head and shifted her gaze to Sasuke, her green eyes full of determination.

"You won't stop me? I'll become a traitor if I keep going like this."

Sasuke was deeply touched, but still very curious as to why Sakura didn't persuade him to stay in Konoha.

"Won't you become a rebel sooner or later?"

Sakura said calmly.

"what?"

Sasuke was shocked. He didn't expect that in Sakura's eyes, he was the kind of person who would betray his village at any time.

Sakura knew from Sasuke's expression that he had misunderstood.

"This has nothing to do with character, it's just a matter of stance.

Your enemy is Shimura Danzo. Even if you have always been a ninja of Konoha, after assassinating Shimura Danzo, you can only become a traitor."

"Danzo? Sakura, how did you know?"

Sasuke understood what Sakura meant and began to wonder about where Sakura got her information from.

"When Konoha was planning to collapse, I went to the Root.

Witnessed Danzo's resurrection using the Sharingan."

Since Sasuke and Danzo will eventually have a fight, Sakura thinks it's best to tell Sasuke all of Danzo's secrets.

"What? Is this all true?!"

Sakura's words made Sasuke furious, and all three magatama were activated unknowingly.

"Yes, according to the existing information, Danzo has a secret technique that can use the Sharingan to revive, and he has a large number of Sharingans in his hands.

As for the origin of the Sharingan, I don’t need to say more.”

"hateful!"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke swung his fist and smashed it hard on the Yondaime's hedgehog head, his face beginning to become ferocious.

But after calming down, Sasuke suddenly discovered his blind spot:

Sakura actually went to the Root alone just for her?

Yes, Sakura has always been like this, silently supporting me, and supporting me even if she is against Konoha.

Since the destruction of her family, she is the only person who has been so kind to her.

Thinking of this, Sasuke's eyes suddenly filled with tears.

"Thank you, Sakura!"

Sasuke suddenly gave Sakura a hug, causing her to almost slip off the rock wall.

Sakura didn't mind and patted Sasuke's back gently a few times, doing her best to comfort this poor child who was about to leave his hometown.
