The three of them came in, but did not go to the living room. Instead, they sat around the stone table in the yard.

Seeing this, July brewed a pot of tea and brought out a lot of snacks and put them in the middle of the table.

As for hospitality, there must be food and drink.

The most important thing is that she has been busy with maintenance in the afternoon and has not eaten at all.

She was a little hungry and could only eat some snacks to fill her stomach.

After sitting down, July looked at the three people in front of her who were depressed.

"Don't sit here like a mute. Tell me, what's the matter with you coming to me late at night?"

She could guess why Sakura and Naruto came to her.

But she was a little unsure about Shikamaru.

According to common sense, Naruto should have lost his temper at this time and would be the first to jump out and speak.

But now he is like a melancholy prince.

He has been keeping his head down there, and I don't know what he is thinking.

And Sakura was also shy and hesitant, looking like she wanted to say something but stopped.

The only normal person at the table was Shikamaru.

July looked at Shikamaru, and Shikamaru looked around and found that no one wanted to speak first.

There was no choice but to speak first.

"July, can I also participate in this Tiandi Bridge mission?"

Hmm? July was obviously stunned when she heard Shikamaru's words.

This mission was just to get information about Orochimaru's location from the planted spy.

Then plan the next things, although July expected that this mission might not be simple.

But why did Shikamaru volunteer to participate in this mission?

Is there any hatred between him and Orochimaru that she doesn't know about?

When talking to a smart person, you don't need to ask so many questions yourself, the other party can understand what you mean.

"The mission to bring back Sasuke was the first mission I led after being promoted to Chunin."

"But because of my mistake, my companions were almost in danger of life and death."

"This time, I will not allow myself to fail again, although I am a person who is very afraid of trouble."

"But some things are better to be done from beginning to end."

It seems that Shikamaru always has a thorn in his heart about that mission.

The mission goal was to bring back Sasuke, and you said that it would be fine if you didn't bring him back.

It even almost cost the lives of the companions in the village.

Even people with Shikamaru's personality will have their self-esteem frustrated.

It is natural that he can't let it go now.

After listening to Shikamaru's explanation, July looked at Sakura this time.

Sakura finally couldn't stand her gaze and finally chose to speak.

"July, first of all, thank you for letting me participate in this mission."

"Kakashi-sensei has already told me the specific situation."

"We may meet Sasuke on this mission."

"Don't be afraid of you laughing at me. I have always liked Sasuke since I was a child."

"When I heard that he defected, my world fell."

"I dream of bringing Sasuke back every moment."

"But I know that I am not capable enough to fulfill this dream."

"July, you are the smartest and strongest one in our class."

"If anyone can defeat Sasuke now and bring him back."

"That person is undoubtedly you, July, I have a request here."

"I will take my future life as a condition, as long as you can bring Sasuke back."

"I will do whatever you want, and I will never complain."

As she said that, Sakura stood up and bowed to July.

And she kept bending over, with no intention of getting up.

Sakura's familiar words got into Naruto's ears.

A lifetime request, what a familiar phrase.

Sakura had said this to him before, crying.

Haha, what about the promise she made to me before?

At this moment, the filter of Sakura in Naruto's heart was completely shattered.

Yes, he was also a loser, he did not bring Sasuke back as agreed.

Why should he expect Sakura to do anything for him?

Thinking of this, Naruto stood up.

"It's late, I won't bother you, I still have to go back and pack my things."

He said that without caring about Shikamaru and Sakura, he walked away like a zombie.

Shikamaru stood up worriedly and wanted to stop her, but he immediately gave up the idea when he saw July's gesture.

"Sakura, raise your head."

"I don't need any conditions or promises from you. Bringing Sasuke back is my own business."

"It has nothing to do with you, Naruto, or anyone else."

"If there is nothing else, you can go back first."

"You have to get up very early tomorrow, so get some rest."

After that, July chased after Naruto.Out.

Sakura looked up, tears already wet her eyes.

She understood what July meant by these words, but the result was still good.

At least July also wanted to bring Sasuke back, as long as Sasuke could come back, nothing else mattered.

Sakura left, but Shikamaru still sat there calmly.

He had no intention of leaving, as if this was his home.

July followed Naruto's footsteps and came to the Hokage Rock behind the village.

Naruto lay on the head of the Fourth Hokage Rock, looking at the sky full of stars in a trance.
