After returning to Konoha, Naruto and Sasuke were arranged to recuperate in the hospital. This period of time was like a year for them.

Even though the two men's strength had reached the level of super gods, the injuries they suffered this time were really serious. After all, both of them had no sense of propriety when fighting. Not only did they have several broken ribs, but they even lost an arm.

What awaited them was not peace and tranquility, but Tsunade's thundering rage. Even Jiraiya and Kakashi were not spared.

As a punishment, Tsunade assigned Jiraiya and Kakashi a mission. Recently, they have been doing unpaid volunteer work in the village and their lives are miserable.

Naruto and Sasuke, the two patients, are not feeling well either. They have to endure verbal lectures from Shizuka, Tsunade's secretary, every day.

Naruto said that this was like cutting flesh with a blunt knife. It would be more satisfying to punish him by making him do volunteer work with the lecherous sage.

They may know that their actions were too reckless, but Yu Anan could see that Naruto did not regret it.

Naruto was seen happily bickering with Sasuke who was lying next to him every day, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with Sasuke's return home.

As for Tsunade's verbal education, he always listened to it in one ear and out the other. He even didn't care about some disguised small punishments at all.

Our Jiraiya and Kakashi were busy running around in the village and had no time to take care of the two brats lying in the hospital.

Speaking of leisurely existence, Itachi was the only one. Jiraiya and the other nearly bit their teeth when they saw someone doing nothing but eating meatballs at the door of the store.

It’s so lively day by day.

……

Early the next morning, Yu Anan went to deliver meals to Naruto and Sasuke as usual. As she just arrived at the hospital, she saw a familiar figure.

I saw Sakura wandering outside the door, looking anxious and hesitant.

It was obvious that Sakura was very worried about Sasuke, but she was afraid that going in would upset Sasuke.

Seeing this, An An couldn't help but smile. She walked over to Xiaoying, put her arm around her shoulders, and gently advised: "Xiaoying, if you want to see Sasuke, just go in. Why are you standing here?"

Sakura grabbed her clothes and couldn't help biting her lip as she said, "I...I'm a little nervous."

Sakura, who is usually carefree, behaves so reservedly, which makes her usually straightforward look a bit more shy.

"Don't be nervous, I'll go in with you."

Yu Anan chuckled, and walked slowly into the ward shoulder to shoulder with Xiaoying.

Naruto, who was lying in a daze on the hospital bed, had been thinking about the time when An An would deliver the meal. The moment he saw An An, his eyes instantly lit up, flashing with strange colors.

"An An, Xiao Ying, you are here!"

Naruto was so excited that he almost jumped off the hospital bed, and he just wanted to rush over to greet An An immediately.

His face was filled with an unconcealable joy, a smile that came from the heart, pure and warm, filled with love and expectations for An An, which made people feel moved.

From this we can see how much Naruto cares about An An. It is really a deep feeling that is ingrained in his bones.

"It's time for lunch!"

Yu Anan deliberately arranged Sakura next to Sasuke's bed, then took out a bag from behind, and took out lunch boxes from the bag one by one, carefully placing the prepared meals in front of the two of them.

Yu Anan pointed at the oversized heart-shaped bento in front of Naruto, her eyes revealing a hint of mischief and tenderness.

She said softly, "This is specially prepared for you, Naruto. It contains your favorite sweet and sour spareribs. Come and try it."

Naruto's eyes immediately curved into crescents, and he stared at the bento box, his saliva almost flowing out.

He nodded, a happy smile on his face, his sky-blue eyes looked straight at An An, and then he smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work! With An An's care, I will definitely recover quickly."

Sasuke looked at Naruto's happy expression and smiled unconsciously. Although the topic between them had not yet ended, the aroma of the delicious food was too tempting at the moment. The two of them could not care about much else and buried their heads in eating.

The clever An An did not forget to remind Sakura that Sasuke had difficulty eating and needed her help. Sakura immediately understood and her little face turned red.

"Okay, I...I know."

Yu Anan has been taking care of the diet of the two recently. Knowing that Sasuke can't eat spicy food, she gives him lighter flavors.

During the meal, Sakura secretly looked at the super "big" bento in Naruto's hand, and an inexplicable smile flashed across her face.

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a gossipy smile, and she asked softly: "An An, how are you and Naruto doing recently?"

This question, not to mention Sakura, even Sasuke was very curious.

I thought this sentence would make An An feel embarrassed or at a loss. After all, such private questions are usually difficult to answer, and An An is a girl, so she must be very shy.

However, what they didn't expect was that An An admitted frankly without hesitation: "We are doing fine, and we are happy every day."

Then, An An's eyes flashed, and he looked at Sasuke with a faint smile, and said jokingly: "You two should stop struggling, hurry up and seize the time!"

Sakura was stunned after hearing this, the expression on her face instantly became embarrassed, and the temperature on her face exploded.

She never expected that she just wanted to watch the show, but ended up being outwitted by Yu Anan.

Not only her, but Sasuke also fell silent due to the unexpected embarrassment, his ears turned red.

An An didn't expect Sasuke to be so thin-skinned. She just looked at the two of them with amusement, forced herself to suppress her smile and turned her head away.

Naruto stared at the weird Sasuke, chewing his food with his cheeks puffed out, and asked innocently: "Sasuke, do you have a fever? Why is your face so red?"

This little fool really keeps talking about things that are not related to the topic. For a moment, An An couldn't control her laughter. She almost fell into Naruto's arms, making the two men even more embarrassed.

After lunch, An An put the prepared fruit in advance with a small fork and put it to Naruto's mouth. Naruto was so happy that bubbles appeared in his eyes, and he went to eat it without saying a word.

"what--"

He had just opened his mouth and was about to taste the juicy, sweet and delicious fruit when the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open with a loud noise.

"Naruto, Sasuke, we're here!"

Looking closely, they saw that it was Konoha's friends who came to visit them.

Everyone had expressions of concern and worry on their faces. It was obvious that after hearing the news that Naruto and Sasuke were in the hospital, they did not dare to disturb them rashly. They only rushed to the hospital after they recovered.

Because the friends appeared too suddenly, both parties were put in an extremely awkward situation.

Naruto was seen opening his mouth, ready to put the fruit that An An handed to him into his mouth.

However, under the surprised gazes of the crowd, Naruto could not act presumptuously. He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, showing an awkward but polite smile, and greeted his companions: "Hi... why are you all here?"

He tried to break the awkward atmosphere with a relaxed tone, but in fact, his heart was already in turmoil. After all, this scene was too unexpected.

Shikamaru reacted the fastest and broke the deadlock first, smiling awkwardly, "We...didn't disturb you, did we?"

Naruto responded cheerfully, "Of course not! I'm so happy that you guys came to see me, right, Sasuke!"

Sasuke turned his head away maliciously and replied simply: "Don't drag me into this embarrassing situation!"

"Oh my god, Sasuke, you can't cheat me like this!"
