[Hokage] Thank you for loving me

The cold water hit Sakura's body, and the sticky wetness quickly spread all over her body.

cold!She shivered and woke up.it hurts!More unbearable than the sticky clothes and the hard, cold ground were the wounds in the chest.Sakura covered her chest with her left hand, half propped her body up on her right elbow, and lay down reclined to look around her environment: there were two layers of iron guardrails in front of her, like a prison cage, and outside the cage was a narrow corridor. On the left side of the aisle is a dirty staircase leading up to a rusted overturned gate. On the right side is a high wall. On the wall near the ceiling are two air vents. Through the gaps in the air vents, The grass in the courtyard and the boots of the guards standing on both sides can be seen faintly.

Locked in a dungeon.Moreover, there is only one cage in the entire dungeon, which seems to be a place for detaining serious offenders.

"To be able to wake up so quickly, as expected of that Tsunade Hime's disciple." The sharp voice pierced his ears, drawing Sakura's attention back to Sugawara in front of him, and he looked at Sugawara with a sullen face. Behind him stood a strong man dressed in coarse cloth, and a dilapidated wooden barrel at his feet was dripping with water.

"Even if the heart is avoided, the chest has been hit hard. You can wake up so quickly even if you can't move the chakra. It's just as terrifying as that woman. You can't be careless at all."

Knowing her and knowing that she is Tsunade's disciple, but when they first met, she looked strange, presumably to make her relax her vigilance.In other words, from the moment he arrived at the castle, he had already fallen into the trap set by them.

Sakura bit her lower lip tightly and tried to run the chakra, but found that there was no reaction in her body.

"Don't work in vain, as long as that bullet is in your body, you can't use chakra." Sugawara carefully observed Sakura's every move through the thick lens.

Sakura sat up, glared at him angrily, and asked: "The bullets fired from that gun should be the failed products developed by the Iron Kingdom to fight against the Ninja Legion?"

"Oh, you actually know its origin. It seems that Six Daime trusts you very much. Not only did you prepare a letter for you to visit the City of Fire, but also told you all the information about this mission."

"Secretly hiding the Iron Kingdom's weapons in the castle, you are not only treasonous, but also suspected of assassinating the daimyo!"

"Hey, Miss Haruno, you can't just talk nonsense." Sugawara quickly glanced at the strong man behind him and the guard outside the door, and corrected with a sly face: "The bullet was provided by a nobleman from the Iron Kingdom." He is Jin Ji's fanatical pursuer and the main manager of the experiment. Therefore, when Jin Ji said that she needed some weapons that could effectively prevent ninjas, the noble young master presented her with these guns and bullets. Whether it's the source of the weapon or the way it was transported into the City of Fire, it has nothing to do with me, I'm just doing things according to Jinji's order."

Guard against ninjas?Shouldn't it be the thieves group guarding against the Iron Country?A bold speculation emerged in Sakura's heart, "Could it be that there is no bandit group from the Iron Country at all, and the previous kidnapping, attack, and sneak attack in Konoha were all directed and acted by you and the princess?"

"There is indeed a group of thieves who covet Jinji's beauty. However, the Iron Country has been chasing those guys. Not long ago, the noble young master wiped out the group of thieves in order to claim credit for Jinji."

"But Konoha's sneak attack was always arranged by you alone! The purpose is to frame Konoha as unsafe, to say that only the pupil technique can deal with this kind of bullet, and to transfer Sasuke-kun to the city of fire!?"

"Hahaha." Sugawara did not judge Sakura's reasoning, but replied: "Sasuke Uchiha has a lonely personality, and he is willing to follow Geunhime back to the city of fire, which means that he does not resist that beauty, doesn't it? The moonlight is like this tonight Well, maybe he is having a good conversation with his daimyo, or he is immersed in Jinji's gentleness, and he has already left you and Konoha behind."

Indeed, it is an indisputable fact that Sasuke left Konoha and went to the princess's side.Regardless of whether he is willing to see her this time or not, the two of them have already missed each other during the time in Konoha, and in the future, there may be no more intersections.Sakura was full of sadness, "Since Geunhee is sure to be with Sasuke-kun, why did you beat me up and lock me up?"

Sugawara spread his hands, "We also don't want to hurt innocent people. You chased into the city and said you wanted to meet Sasuke, and you ran into the gun. Jinji said that now is the critical moment to capture Sasuke Uchiha, and no one can let any surprise Trigger factors disturbed his heart. Especially a woman like you who has been with him for many years. No matter whether he is interested in you or not, he can't let him see you at this juncture. "

captured?That word sounds really awkward.However, Jin Hee possesses supreme beauty and power, and she spends so much time trying to win Sasuke-kun's heart and be with him, so it can be seen that she is also infatuated with him.Perhaps, she is the one who can give him real happiness?

Thinking about it this way, it seems that being shot in the heart by the other party has become indifferent, Sakura murmured: "Ginhime... is so possessive, I like Sasuke-kun to such a degree, and I will definitely be sincere in the future Treat him well?" Give him happiness, revive the family for him, warm his heart that was once as sad as ashes, help him get out of the pain of the family's original sin, and use the power in his hand to help him revive the family.

"Sincerely?" Sugawara on the opposite side supported the mirror frame, and when the glass lens was shaking up and down, Sakura saw the obvious sarcasm in his eyes. "What stupid things are you talking about!?" He sounded as if he had heard some unreasonable joke, and he had to correct it with a dignified posture, "That woman only loves herself, how can she have sincerity towards other people?" It can be said. Oh... Maybe, she was sincere when she pursued power and status? If the man's surname is not Uchiha, and the blood on his body is not so rare and ferocious, how could she see it."

Sakura stood up slowly, and walked to the railing with heavy steps. "So..." Even in the most severe battle situation, she never clenched her fists so tightly, she restrained her shock and anger and asked back: "You spent so much time and effort just for Sasuke-kun's eyes? "

Sugawara continued to correct: "Rather than the eyes, it is more appropriate to say the blood."

hateful!

hateful--!

unforgivable!

Sasuke suffered from the massacre of his family since he was a child, and he understands the meaning of loneliness better than anyone else!Cherish family more than anyone else!Just because he can't get what he asks for and is always afraid of losing it, he always yearns for true love silently in his heart!True familial warmth!But this Sugawara and the princess don't understand his mood at all, and don't care about his past, they only regard him as a tool, and use superficial lies to deceive him and use him!

The more Sakura thought about it, the more sad she became, but she couldn't condense her chakra. The anger in her chest was full of anger and she couldn't vent it. Vomit a mouthful of blood.No time to wipe the blood on the corner of her mouth, she turned all her grief and anger into a final vent, and punched the iron bars of the prison, and the two iron rods that were side by side immediately bent outwards into a circular arch.

"Oh, oh, don't be so angry. It's really scary. If it was an ordinary wooden guardrail, you might have smashed it." Just like watching a caged animal roaring and demonstrating in an empty manner, the corners of Sugawara's mouth raised instead He gave a wicked smile. "Whether you accept it or not, in short, Uchiha Sasuke has surrendered to our side; and you, stay here honestly for now. Don't worry, the sixth generation has submitted the document for visiting the city. We You won’t kill the envoy rashly and make him suspicious. When Uchiha marries the princess, and everything is settled, you will naturally be let go.”

Damn, is this the only way to watch Sasuke-kun being cheated?Isn't this the same as when he went to Dashewan back then, knowing that he was blinded and about to fall into the abyss of pain, but he couldn't do anything!No, no!You must find a way to escape and tell him.

Sugawara could see through Sakura's mind at a glance, the dark light in his eyes floated, and he smiled with ease and said, "I remind you, don't think about running away. You should know where the annual funding for the children's psychological consultation room you organize comes from." Yes? The City of Fire approved it. I believe that with your strength, you can escape even if you get shot once; however, if you just leave like this, don’t blame us for embarrassing that Help the children." Xiao Sakura clutched the guardrail tightly, her blue eyes glaring angrily, she was too surprised to speak.Sugawara was very satisfied with her reaction at the moment, and continued: "Oh, by the way, there is also Dr. Iwasaki, who was also sent by our City of Fire. I remember that his wife and daughter seem to be still in this city. Hehe, You look like a smart guy, you must know what I mean?"

After completing the final threat, Sugawara straightened his back, assumed the posture of a winner, and waved to the strong man behind him, "Okay, all that needs to be said has been said, this place is damp and smelly, let's go."

Accompanied by a heavy muffled sound, the gate blew a gust of cool autumn wind, and the fresh air was immediately separated from the dungeon, while Sakura was left in this dark and narrow space.Suddenly, the exhaustion caused by fatigue and pain spread like static electricity to every cell in her body. She quickly adjusted her breathing, turned around, leaned against the iron railing, and slid slowly to sit on the ground.

My chest hurts so much!But it is far less than the heartache of imagining Sasuke falling into an elaborate deception and holding Geunhee in his arms.He was by Jinji's side at the moment, but he would think of her a little bit.Or, he had already said goodbye on that rainy night and said that he owed her nothing, so he would never look back and worry about her again.From now on, he will be separated from her due to power and status, and in the future, they will eventually forget each other completely as time goes by.

The corners of Sakura's eyes became hot, and her heart ached even more.

——When Sasuke-kun learned that I had forgotten him, was he also so sad?I'm sorry, Sasuke-kun, I forgot my feelings for you without authorization.

--sorry.I really want to say these three words to you personally, but it's all my fault that I keep avoiding it, and I may never have another chance in the future.

The heart hurts more and more, and the pain is so painful that I am about to pass out.Sakura gasped for breath with difficulty, and between her heavy panting, there were a few commotions outside the dungeon, but soon calm was restored, and then the door of the dungeon was opened again.

She turned her back to the entrance and exit stairs, and she really didn't have the energy to turn around to see who was coming. She turned her head slightly, and from the corner of her eye, she vaguely saw a figure in a navy blue kimono and clogs walking down the stairs.

Most likely Jin Ji sent to monitor her officials.I didn't bother to pay attention to it, and sat on the ground with my arms around my knees, and buried my head deeply.

"Sakura!" The seemingly distant call sounded, the magnetic voice revealed anger and anxiety, and then, a powerful and familiar Chakra breath permeated the space behind her.

Sakura suddenly gained strength, raised her head suddenly, turned around, and saw Sasuke standing outside the cage: shoulder-length hair tied behind her head, wearing a dark blue silk kimono, different from the usual ninja outfit, dazzling her eyes. At first glance, he looked more like a nobleman from the Wu family, with a proud and upright temperament.

What's happening here?

A second ago, she was still in a desperate predicament, but at this moment Sasuke appeared in front of her.Sakura hurriedly looked around the situation outside the dungeon, and saw that one of the fallen guards on the grass was still twitching.Gently pressed the chest, hey!pain!It's clogged and hot and painful!It looks like... I am not dreaming.No matter how you look at it, Sasuke in front of him seems to have been specially dressed, is he going to a banquet or festival or something?According to Sugawara's words, he should be by Daimyo-sama and Geunhee's side, why did he appear here?And, how did he know he was here?There were too many questions to ask, but Sakura didn't know where to ask, her lips trembled twice, and she could only stammer out "Sasuke-kun, you...?"

"I'll get you out first." Different pupils in Sasuke's eyes flickered, and the black flame instantly ignited as the door lock of the iron cage was locked.The dancing tongues of flames shot straight into the air, reflecting the candlelight in the dungeon. Against the undisguised anger and shock on his face, there was a sense of oppression that was about to come.

Did Sakura still recover, but when she saw Amaterasu Fire, she immediately thought of something, so she hurriedly stood up and rushed to the iron gate to stop her: "No!" The moment she approached, Sasuke blinked quickly, The flame went out in an instant.

"What are you doing!" Sasuke was livid, showing a look of panic that he had never seen before. He reached in through the gap in the fence and grabbed Sakura's arm. Added complainingly: "Don't you know the danger?"

There were double meanings in his words, Sakura hurriedly explained: "Wait a minute, Sasuke-kun, I can't go out yet!" Feeling Sasuke's strong and burning hand, she finally felt sober, she raised her head With a gratified smile, he asked curiously, "How do you know I'm here?"

"I read Jinji's memory, and know that she ordered someone to lock you up." Unable to quickly drag Sakura to his side, Sasuke looked a little anxious, and he clenched his right hand even harder: "Sakura, how could you To the City of Fire?"

"I came to look for you. I was very concerned about what you said that night, so I went to the hospital to investigate my amnesia..."

Sasuke was silent, and said helplessly: "What you said that night made you care more. If I had known, I would have left without saying anything."

Sakura shook her head desperately, "No, no, you must never leave without saying goodbye! Even if you don't come to find me that night, I will still chase you to the city of fire... because I haven't had a good relationship with you yet. I said goodbye, and I didn’t explain the previous things to you before we parted.” When she mentioned what she wanted to tell Sasuke, she immediately continued nervously: “By the way, Sasuke-kun, you must not be deceived by Geunhee. From Konoha to the City of Fire, everything that happened around her during this period was planned by her alone, all in order to get close to you and cheat your trust and affection."

Hearing this name, Sasuke's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he smiled coldly.

"I noticed something different from the first time I came into contact with her. That woman didn't like me at all, but she kept showing her affection unconditionally, and even specially acted out a scene of being attacked. In and out of Konoha, which is heavily guarded, except for the people inside the Kingdom of Fire It is impossible for outsiders to hide the truth from the enchantment class and the intelligence class; moreover, the only ones who know my itinerary that day are the people around me. Since then, I have doubted the authenticity of the so-called bandit group, and I have no doubts about her ultimate goal. Later, she invited me to go back to the city of fire together, in order to collect evidence to end this guard farce, and I had an explanation to the higher-ups, so I agreed."

As expected of Sasuke, he always figured out the situation and took control of the overall situation without making a fuss.Sakura looked at the stern face in front of her with eyes full of admiration, and continued: "As far as evidence is concerned, the bullet that hit Anbu at that time is that. Although the bullet came from the Iron Kingdom, it is not the property of the bandits at all, but the Hibiscus. Ji got it from a high-level person in the Iron Kingdom."

"I see. At that time, Kakashi and I also thought it was strange that Mifune and the others didn't know how the high-level experimental weapon fell into the hands of the bandit group casually. From this point of view, Jin Ji really planned everything from beginning to end. "

"Her dormancy and planning for more than a month are all just for...uh..." Sakura blushed, and her voice shrunk embarrassingly: "In order to get Sasuke-kun's... blood... But, fortunately, you were not It's great to be deceived by her hypocrisy!" With a long breath of relief, the biggest stone in her heart was finally let go.

"Oh?" Sasuke's face was still cold, but his tone became playful: "Are you worried that I will be cheated by her?"

"After all, Jinji is so beautiful, and when she was by your side, she was always gentle and considerate to you... If I were a man, without knowing her true intentions, I couldn't help being tempted."

Sasuke frowned slightly, and then smiled softly: "Didn't I say that that night? The only person I want to make up for is you, and the only person I want to accompany is you. Apart from you, I will not think about other things." People." In such a cold environment, hearing such a frank confession from a person who has always been cruel, Xiao Ying not only felt warm in her heart, but also felt hot all over, and the person opposite glanced at her, and suddenly sighed softly, Seems a little disappointed: "Or, in your opinion, my words are not trustworthy?"

"Eh?"

"You think I'm a person who is easily shaken?" Well, in this case, Kakashi's words just happened to be used.

"No, no!" Xiao Sakura hastily explained, "I have absolutely no doubts about your character, I'm just worried... worried that you'll be cheated."

"Then you are doubting my IQ?"

"No doubt! Absolutely not!" No matter what to do, no matter what answer, Sasuke-kun got involved!In the end there is no standard answer.Sakura rolled her eyes, and said bravely, "Oh, it's all my fault for losing my memory, and even my trust in Sasuke-kun may have dropped a little bit. Please forgive me."

Not bad, the response is much more flexible than before.This kind of excuse has been sacrificed, so I will let you go first.Sasuke suppressed his laughter, and said: "Okay. But from now on, you have to remember everything I said."

Sakura turned her head.What happened, it seemed that Sasuke-kun led him away without knowing it?Did my previous self have the same way of getting along with him?With a blank "hehe" smile, let's just nod and agree first.

As soon as he restrained his smile, the wound on his chest started to hurt again due to the vibration of the diaphragm.In shock, Sakura firmly grasped Sasuke's hand, adjusted her breathing in pain, and tried to calm down.

"Are you... injured?" Sasuke was taken aback.

"When I came here, I was careless for a while, and I was framed by Sugawara and the princess. I was shot in the chest by a bullet from the Iron Kingdom, which inhibited the operation of Chakra."

"Those guys!" Sasuke's expression suddenly became ferocious, and his left eye was full of murderous intent. "If I had spent a little more time just now and read the information about your injury from Jinji in advance, I would have killed her directly in the banquet hall."

Knowing that he wasn't talking harshly, and would do most of what he said, Sakura quickly spread her five fingers and clasped them tightly with him, "Sasuke-kun, please calm down." Slowing down her tone, she tried her best to comfort the pain: "You Don't worry about me, after practicing Baihao, this injury can still heal on its own. It's just that the bullet is stuck next to the heart, it can't move the chakra, and it can't be taken out of the body."

Seeing that Sasuke's face softened a little, she analyzed patiently: "If you go to trouble Jin Ji now, then Sugawara will definitely blame everything on Kakashi-sensei and the others."

"Then save you and leave first, and take out the bullet."

"Not now. Sugawara stayed here just now and warned me that if I found out that I had escaped, I would be held accountable to the children and doctors in Konoha Village... the children and doctors who were related to me. The future operation of the clinic will definitely be Hindered."

Understanding Sakura's dilemma, Sahashi carefully considered how to solve the immediate predicament. "Looking at it now, we can only tell Daimyo or Kakashi the truth and let them mediate." He mused.

Sakura nodded in agreement, "Master Daimyo doesn't seem to know that Jin Ji fabricated lies and planned all this, maybe you can ask him to come forward? Or get in touch with Kakashi-sensei first? In short, this farce that the princess directed and acted must be treated Just expose it."

"I don't know where the daimyo is, use time and space to connect to Kakashi."

"Please, Sasuke-kun."

"Wait for me." Sasuke grabbed Sakura's hand, crossed the fence, and placed it on his chest. His forehead rested on the iron railing, close to Sakura's direction.

As soon as Xiao Sakura raised her head, she met the burning eyes in his different pupils. Even through the fence, in this ambiguous standing posture, the masculine breath tightly wrapped her whole body, her face flushed suddenly, and her eyes were disturbed. When cruising, the shoulder-length short hair that hangs down like a black curtain moves all the way down, the slender and fair neck, the neckline on both sides of the kimono, the arched placket, the graceful collarbone looming, and the oblique light of the dim candlelight , light and shadows were flowing and changing on his half-opened chest, which made him look mysteriously sexy.

- what are you doing!The situation is urgent, why am I still here looking at Sasuke-kun's face and body and can't move my eyes?Could it be that the effect of the medicine has faded, and the emotional memory of Sasuke-kun is about to recover?

Staring blankly at Sasuke until his thin lips parted slightly,

"……saliva."

Sakura's expression flickered, and she was brought back to her senses by the magnetic and pleasant voice, and she asked back without knowing, "What?"

Sasuke reminded again patiently: "...you are drooling."

Eh--! ?Eh?

Sakura hurriedly raised her right hand and touched her lower lip, and it really felt wet.She turned over her hand, wiped it with the back of her hand a few times in embarrassment, looked away from Sasuke in a panic, lowered her head and clicked her tongue twice in embarrassment.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Sasuke added calmly: "It's okay, you have done this before, I don't mind."

——It was like this before?Drooled in front of him before?Or did you drool over his beauty before?

Sakura slammed her hands on her face and buried her head deeper.

— No matter what the answer is!Suddenly, I don't want to restore my memory at all!

The author has something to say:

Sure enough, Sakura, who is still a fan girl, is more interesting to write ~ haha
