The envoys lived in a large house with a courtyard, and for safety reasons, it was not in the heart of Yunnin, but in a corner on the edge of the village.

"Between eight and eleven o'clock in the evening, a few of you will be in charge of the vigil. Sakura Haruno instructed the subordinates of the battle team, "Sakai, you are in charge of the time period from eleven o'clock to two o'clock......

As he spoke, Shizune hurriedly walked over with a piece of clothing in her hand.

"Oh no, there's a hole in your trench coat!" said the woman anxiously as she shook her clothes, "I'm going to wear it for a formal occasion tomorrow!"

Sakura Haruno took the clothes, and sure enough, there was a long crack on the back of the trench coat, which affected the perception very much.

It was when she fought Kirabi two days ago that she was affected by the aftermath of the sword power, right?

The girl frowned.

If you don't wear a jacket and only tights, you will look a little undignified, and if you have to sew it up, standard women like Sakura Haruno and Shizun don't know how to needlework at all.

As for covering up the past with transformation techniques or something, it would be even more inappropriate on that occasion.

"I'll do it. Saki said suddenly.

"Do you know how to sew?" Shizune and Sakura were a little surprised.

Sakai nodded.

"I learned this from my brother. He recalled the past, his face was calm, and he said slowly.

"Brother?"

"Well, his name is Xin, my brother. Sakai put his hand into his ninja bag, took out a picture book, and said calmly. "Because of his weak body and serious illness, my brother died very early. ”

The atmosphere was a little cold for a moment.

Sakura Haruno and Shizune glanced at each other, and there was nothing to say for a while.

"I learned my drawing skills and needlework from my brother. The boy flipped through the picture album he carried close to him, until he reached the blank space in the middle, fell into reminiscence, and muttered, "Although there is no blood relationship, Xin is a very gentle and kind brother who treats me very well." ”

"He must love you very much. Sakura Haruno said softly.

"I don't know. Sakai lowered his eyes and said, "At the root, Shin and I are both emotionless ninjas, and we don't have love in our hearts......"

"How can a person not have feelings?" retorted Shizune, frowning, "You're free from the shackles of your roots!

"But I don't exist as a human being. The expression on Sakai's face was still faintly calm.

"I used to be the hand and foot of Danzo-sama. ”

"After coming out of the roots, I was confused for a while...... I didn't know what I was in this world until Sakura-sama Haruno pulled me over. ”

He turned his head to look at Sakura Haruno, knelt down on one knee, and said expressionlessly, "So now, I'm just a tool of Sakura-sama Haruno." ”

Sakura Haruno frowned.

She's not interested in this kind of inexplicable allegiance, and she doesn't like to use people as tools like Danzang.

I don't believe that people will have no feelings.

"You're wrong, Sakai. You're not an emotionless tool......" The girl shook her head and said slowly, "I saw you smiling when I was flipping through the album just now. ”

That's a natural smile.

That smile proves that deep in Sakai's heart, there are still sincere feelings buried.

"I just ...... Are you smiling?" Sakai was stunned.

Sakura Haruno nodded: "That's right! So, the bond between you and your brother has not disappeared, it has always been hidden deep in your heart...... Think about it. ”

She felt that Sakai was still saved, so she mentioned a few more words.

"Also, don't use yourself as my tool......" she added, pointing at him with a straight face, "you should be yourself." ”

"Yes!" Sakai said.

With that, he stood up, took Sakura Haruno's trench coat and turned to leave.

It's night.

The night breeze in autumn is a bit cool.

Sakura Haruno was lying on the bed, and for some reason, she had always had excellent sleep quality, but she couldn't sleep.

"Strange ......" she bit her lip, looked at the ceiling and fell asleep and woke up several times in a row, "I was ...... in a panic"

"Why...... Do you have an ominous premonition?"

The girl rolled over and got up, put on her pajamas, and stepped barefoot on the cold floor.

"Who's on the night shift?" Sakura Haruno walked on the deserted promenade, the autumn wind stirring the girl's somewhat messy hair and tickling her face. She shook her head, feeling a little dizzy, and didn't wake up.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the atmosphere in the air is a bit weird.

"Everybody...... Are you all asleep?"

The courtyard is exceptionally peaceful.

A figure suddenly flashed past the wall, shattering the silence. "Who!" Sakura Haruno shouted, subconsciously chasing after her.

The man didn't run away when he heard this, and turned to face Sakura Haruno, only to see him wearing a robe, with a swirling mask on his face, and he was wrapped in darkness.

Only a scarlet eyeball peeked out of the mask.

Officially the masked man with whom Sakura Haruno has dealt several times.

"Madara Uchiha!"

Sakura Haruno was startled and shouted loudly, her chakra subconsciously surged out fiercely, and she was about to rush forward when she saw the chakra condensed in the masked man's eyes, and released an illusion.

With Haruno Sakura's illusion resistance, ordinary illusions, even if they were released through the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye, might not have any effect on her, so she just paused for a moment, then rushed forward without any obstacles, and hit the masked man with one punch!

Hit his phantom.

"Tsk......" Sakura Haruno pouted.

It's a blur again.

If this man doesn't want to fight, it's a bit of a problem with him.

The masked man had no intention of fighting, jumped a few times, flashed a corner, and disappeared.

"This chakra feeling...... the girl stopped after following this, "it must have been a medium- to long-distance teleportation." ”

He's no longer here.

So...... What about the others? She's running around here at high speed, and it's so loud, how can no one react?

"Mute?"

Even if they all die, the night shift people should come and see the situation, right?

"Sakai!"

She turned her lazy brain, remembering that it was Sakai who was keeping vigil at this time, and shouted loudly.

"Sakai, where are you!"

"No need to shout. Suddenly, someone broke in, and the figure was dim in the night, and said coldly.

"Sakai is here. ”

Someone threw out a black, round thing.

Roll to Sakura's feet in Haruno.

In the moonlight, Sakura Haruno saw what it was-

A head.

The boy's eyes stared at the girl in silence.

Is that......

"Sakai?!"

Sakura Haruno gasped, and her sleepiness disappeared completely!

[Third Update.] I feel that if Sakai is a girl, it should be a particularly virtuous and cute kind of three nothings. 】
