After that, he stayed by her bedside.

There's nothing else to do anyway.

When it comes time for him to take action, he will go, but the situation may be very serious by then. So he believes that whether it is Naruto, Kakashi-sensei or others, they will control the current situation and will not let it go

Things have developed to this point.

As for other things in the village, to be honest, he can't say that he is not very interested, he can only say that he has no interest at all.

He could see that Kakashi-sensei really hoped that he could help Naruto in this regard, but, I'm sorry, I can't do it, and I don't want to do it.

Even if the Uchiha clan's grievances have been vindicated, so what? Can those who have passed away come back? Even if they come back, can all the hurt in the past be erased? I'm afraid not?

He is not Naruto, he is not so easy to fool and not so forgiving and easy to let go. Those culprits may not represent the village, but they did control the village and caused harm to Uchiha again and again.

Therefore, the village that hurt him, no matter what, will never change back to the beautiful place it once was in his heart.

He didn't hate it that much anymore, but he couldn't let it go completely.

Maybe the Uchiha clan accepts death.

Just like my brother, just like him, just like...

she.

With this thought in mind, the young man raised his hand, gently picked up the girl's hair that was falling on her face, and gently hooked it behind her ears.

Then, she stretched out her hand and gently tapped the box of red bean cakes brought back by Xianglin that was placed next to her pillow. The smell of the snacks immediately dissipated. It seemed that she smelled this sweet smell in her sleep, and the girl's nose couldn't help feeling.

He trembled consciously and pursed his lips slightly, as if he had eaten something in his sleep.

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help laughing.

He has played this little trick several times and still enjoys it.

Because it's really fun.

It's almost noon, but I don't feel hungry just looking at it. Well, I'm not that good-looking, not even as beautiful as him, but...

Pretty delicious?

the other side.

Uzumaki Naruto, who was working hard to sort out the paperwork, let out a long sigh.

What he is sorting out is the criminal evidence of those people who were "lost" before. It has to be said that each piece of evidence is quite shocking.

Ever since he was accused of "being too kind and soft-hearted in his treatment of students," the current Sixth Generation Hokage seems to have gone to the other extreme, revealing all this darkness in front of his blond disciple without any scruples.

However, to the surprise of others...

Uzumaki Naruto accepted this well and did not show any expression of collapse like "I absolutely cannot accept it!!!"

How normal.

He was also a person who looked directly at the deep darkness of the world since he was a child, and he also studied abroad with Jiraiya for three years. Although the silver-haired immortal always harbored an innocent vision, he could not be more down-to-earth in character.

How could he teach his beloved junior and place all his hopes on him and only show him all the beautiful scenery in the world?

The true light may not be to stay away from the darkness, but to tolerate it all and then strive to assimilate it.

Uzumaki Naruto tried hard to write down these crimes, thinking: Although these are not mistakes I made, I must work hard to prevent them from happening again. There should not be any more victims like me, Sasuke, or those victims in Konoha.

.

Unlike Uchiha Sasuke, who has no interest in Konoha, the blond boy deeply loves his hometown and the "relatives" who live in it, so he is determined to work hard to drive away the bad sides of this family and let them live in peace.

It becomes a better place to live.

Of course, he also remembered what the black-haired girl said——

Maybe, he will never be able to satisfy everyone in this village.

But at least, he can create an environment where people can openly express their dissatisfaction - even if he, the Hokage, has done something wrong, the residents living here can point it out openly.

…By then, there won’t be so many sins hidden in the dark, right?

He thought so.

At this moment, he sensed a familiar chakra, smiled immediately, and quickly ran to the door and opened it.

Standing outside the door was the pink-haired girl who raised her hand to knock on the door. She was also holding a double-layer lunch box in her right hand.

"Ah!" Uzumaki Naruto suddenly showed a surprised smile, "Sakura, did you make a bento for me with your own hands today?!"

Since she made it clear before, and since he started getting busy, Sakura has often come over to deliver lunch to him.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the moment he looks forward to most of the day.

Although I can now have breakfast with Sasuke in the morning and have dinner with Sasuke in the evening, but...ahem, it's Sakura after all, right? It's definitely not that I don't care about Sasuke! It's just...well, I understand.

Everyone understands——

Sakura brings me food, she cares about me!!!

"Don't think too much," Haruno Sakura picked up the bento in her hand and shook it, "My mother gave this to me before I went out in the morning. She made two portions, one for me and one for you."

"Then Sakura, can you bring your share to eat~" Uzumaki Naruto was not too disappointed after hearing this. Well, he was still a little bit disappointed. After all, who doesn't want to taste it?

What about the food that his sweetheart cooked for him? Of course, this doesn't mean that he thinks that Sakura should cook for him. That's not the case, he just...because he has never gotten these, so he is a little envious and longing for it, that's all.

Haruno Sakura showed a tired smile: "I had three surgeries in the morning. I was so hungry after the surgery, so I ate first."

"...Huh?" Upon hearing this, Uzumaki Naruto quickly closed the door of the file room behind him and pushed her to the chair in the outside reception room - it's not that he didn't trust her, it was just that from the first day of work

, Teacher Kakashi told him that public and private matters must be distinguished.

This is also so that if something happens in the future, the people around him can put aside the relationship as soon as possible and will not be implicated because of his temporary incautiousness. The documents he read are very implicated, so he definitely does not want to give anything to Sakura

and her family members.

"Sit down quickly, sit down quickly!" After the blond boy pushed the person to sit down, he turned around and poured a cup of tea, "Drink tea quickly. Sakura, if you are so tired, you don't have to deliver food to me personally.

You can either create a clone or find someone else for help."

Haruno Sakura smiled and said nothing. She just put the bento in her hand on the table and said softly: "Okay, Naruto, let's eat."

"Hmm~" Uzumaki Naruto happily sat down at the table. When he took the bento box, he realized that it was still hot. Sakura must have heated it before bringing it over. Although the locals are used to eating cold bento boxes,

However, considering that it is winter now, the meals she brings to him are basically hot every time. "Sakura, you are so considerate~ But you don't have to go to such trouble next time." He couldn't help but say "hehe" with a smile.

Haruno Sakura shook her head: "You don't know how to take care of yourself. You drink whatever you want when you are thirsty while working. After drinking cold tea for a day and eating cold food at noon, your stomach will definitely not be able to bear it after a long time."

"It's okay!" Uzumaki Naruto gave a thumbs up, "I'm in great shape!" Then he opened the lunch box and exclaimed happily, "Wow, it's so rich! Auntie is really good at cooking!"

"Well, mom is indeed much better than me in this aspect." Haruno Sakura nodded with a smile and added, "You are still young now. If you do this for a long time, you will feel uncomfortable when you reach middle age. Isn't Mr. Kakashi now too?

Do you often have stomachaches? My dad does the same. He didn’t pay attention when he was young, and now he drinks wolfberry every day.” At this point, she sighed helplessly.

"Yeah, yeah~" Uzumaki Naruto nodded repeatedly, and the non-existent tail behind him almost shook out flowers, "Sakura, you are right, I will listen to you, Sakura." He has no home and does not know what is normal.

What a warm family is like, but Sakura is different. She has a very, very, very happy family. Although it may be ordinary, it is really very desirable. So, what she said from her mouth

, are undoubtedly very convincing.

Haruno Sakura: "..." Should I say "so good" at this time? But this guy seems to have been like this since he was a child. If you give him a little good looks and care about him, the sun will shine immediately.

A long, long time ago, when she was not very sensible at that time, she even complained about him being a bit disgusting, but now she fully understands that all this is because of a precious heart——

like.

In other words, love.

But to this day, she is not sure, is it worth it for him?

After all, he is no longer the unknown person behind the wheel.

He is a famous hero in the ninja world.

There will never be fewer people who like him, and as long as he is willing, there will definitely be a better choice.

Although the Hyuga family...

But Hinata has always been a good girl.

Well, although she didn't lack confidence in herself, she did feel that Hinata might be a more suitable type of wife than her.

so……

——Naruto, do you really want to stop thinking about it?

But Haruno Sakura didn't say anything immediately. Instead, she held her chin with one hand and watched the person wolfing down the meal. She said many times that this was not good, but he just couldn't change this problem. It was probably because he always felt insecure when eating.

, something bad will happen if you eat slowly...

Some problems really take time to heal.

It wasn't until the person in front of her almost finished her lunch and started drinking the hot soup she brought along with her in her lunch bag that Haruno Sakura said, "Naruto, you are very busy. You are very busy now, and you will only be busier in the future."

"...Huh?" Uzumaki Naruto tilted his head in confusion, "So, so what?"

"I'm also very busy." Haruno Sakura said seriously, "Teacher will not stay in Konoha forever. After she leaves with Sister Shizune, Konoha's medical department and hospital will probably need my support. After all, I

I am her disciple, and I learned the exquisite medical ninjutsu from her, so I must bear such responsibilities and obligations. I cannot return home and let her teachings and all my years of hard work be completely in vain."
