Sakura, who was following Ai Ye closely, had been scratched all over her body by the branches of the trees in the forest, and she endured the pain and shouted behind Ai Ye, "Master! Master!! ”

"Go away !!"

Ai Ye shouted in a crying voice, "I don't need you to have pity on me! ”

"Master!"

Sakura watched Ai Ye's figure accelerate away, gritted her teeth, completely gave up avoiding the branches, and tried her best to catch up with Ai Ye.

After you chased me for half an hour, the two of them rushed out of the forest of death and came to an open hill.

"Master!"

Sakura put her hands on her knees, panting for breath, and said to Ai Ye, who was standing still, "Master, run slower next time, I won't be able to catch up." ”

"You go away!"

Ai Ye's hands clutched the princess dress that was scratched by the branches, and shouted, "I don't need you to take care of me!" You go away! ”

"Master......"

Sakura, who had adjusted her breathing, limped in front of Ai Ye, she looked at Ai Ye's red eyes and bleeding lips, and said distressedly, "Master, don't cry, I'll accompany you." ”

"You go away!"

Ai Ye turned his head and didn't let Sakura look embarrassed, but Sakura ran to Ai Ye again without reluctance, looked at him and said, "Master, Sister Sakuraku is just angry for a while, I'll accompany you and go back together to apologize to Sister Sakurara, okay?" ”

"Why do you want me to apologize to her!"

Ai Ye raised his head, snorted, and said aggrievedly: "I'm obviously worried about her!" She bullied me with outsiders! Why should I apologize to her! ”

The more Ai Ye thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and her tears flowed uncontrollably, she wiped her tears while crying aggrievedly: "Obviously she usually loves me the most!" Now he's helping outsiders bully me! ”

Sakura looked at Ai Ye, who was crying extremely sadly, and her nose was sour, she took the initiative to reach out and hug Ai Ye, patting her back while comforting: "Master doesn't cry, Master doesn't cry, Sakura accompanies you." ”

While Sakura was comforting Aino, something similar was happening on Sakuraku's side......

……

"Sakuraro-san!"

"Sasuke, what's wrong?"

Sakuraku, who was galloping through the forest, stopped, turned her head to look at the place where the voice came from, and saw Sasuke standing panting in place.

"If you plead for Ai Ye, you can go back."

Sakuraku's face was expressionless, and after saying it in a light tone, she wanted to turn around and continue walking.

"I'm not here to intercede!"

Seeing that Sakuraku was about to leave again, Sasuke hurriedly spoke, and at the same time handed his handkerchief towards Sakuraku, "Your hand is bleeding, Sakuraru-san." ”

Sakuraku was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then looked at her blood-stained left hand, frowned slightly, and took Sasuke's handkerchief, "Thank you, if you have nothing else, you can go back." ”

"Sister Sakuraro, you're going to find Ai Ye, right?"

Seeing Sakuraku start to send off guests again, Sasuke hurriedly said, "Take me with you, I have to apologize to her too." ”

Sakuraku glanced at Sasuke when she heard this, and said, "You think too much, I'm going home." ”

"But the direction of your house is on the other side."

Sasuke pointed to the road behind him and said, "Sakuraku-san, Ai Ye is not to blame for this matter, it is my problem, if I could have made it clear earlier, it would not have been like this." ”

"It's nothing to do with you......"

"It matters! Master! ”

Sasuke directly interrupted Sakuraku's words, and continued to speak under Sakuraku's surprised gaze, "If I hadn't been so good-looking at the time, it wouldn't have happened at all, it's my responsibility." ”

Speaking of this, Sasuke paused slightly, "And Aino her...... Actually, I'm worried about you, Master. ”

"What are you worried about me?"

Hearing this, Sakuraku smiled and asked, "I'm worried that I've been deceived by you kid?" ”

After saying that, Sakuraku looked at Sasuke's somewhat embarrassed expression, sighed slightly, and said, "I know she's worried about me, but worrying about me isn't a reason for her to do that kind of thing." ”

Speaking of this, Sakuraki suddenly asked curiously, "You're not angry at all?" ”

“…… There is still a little. ”

Sasuke hesitated for a moment and said, "But I can understand her." ”

Hearing this, Sakuraku was silent for a moment and asked, "You also think I've gone too far?" ”

"Actually, Master is also very uncomfortable."

Sasuke glanced at Sakuraku's left hand, which had been tied with a handkerchief, and said, "Your nails aren't that long. ”

After listening to Sasuke's words, Sakuraku smiled helplessly, and then turned around and said, "Come along, but if that girl doesn't apologize properly, I won't forgive her." ”

Sasuke glanced at Sakuraku's back and prayed secretly as he followed, "I hope Sakura-chan will be well." ’

……

At the same time, Ai Ye, who had calmed down, broke free from Sakura's arms, she snorted and looked at Sakura, who was covered in bruises, and said a little distressedly, "Why are you careless." ”

When Sakura heard this, she just wanted to say something with a smile, but it involved the wound on her face, and the severe pain made her subconsciously gasp.

Seeing this, Ai Ye hurriedly put his hand on the wound on Sakura's face, and while treating Sakura, he pursed his mouth and said, "I'm sorry for the trouble." ”

"It's all right, Master!"

Sakura held Ai Ye's hand and said with a smile, "As long as you don't get angry, Master, this injury is nothing, and I can heal it myself." ”

Ai Ye pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this, and suddenly felt that it seemed quite good to have a little apprentice by his side.

As Ai Ye's treatment ended, Sakura, who had recovered, held Ai Ye's hand and said, "Master, go back with me and apologize to Sister Sakuraku, after all, this time...... It's us who did it wrong. ”

"Got it......"

Ai Ye wrinkled his nose and said to Sakura a little unhappily: "Even you help Sister Sakura, is my popularity so bad?" ”

"It's not a question of whether you can help or not, Master!"

Sakura said to Ai Ye with a rare serious expression, "It's that you really did something wrong this time." ”

"Cut ......"

Ai Ye pursed his lips, kicking the stones, and muttered in a low voice: "It's obvious that Brother Xiao Ku didn't make it clear, why do you blame me, and ......"

"Master!"

"Oops, I got it!"

Ai Ye looked up at Sakura, who was pinching his waist, and stomped his foot like a petty man, "I'll just go back and say it!" ”

"What did you say?"

Ai Ye's body stiffened when he heard the familiar voice, and Sakura-chan turned his head in surprise to find Sakuraku standing behind the two of them with Sasuke.

"Sakuraku-san! And Sasuke! ”

Sakura, who was very surprised by the arrival of the two, hurriedly whispered to Ai Ye, "Master, Master, quickly, now is a good opportunity to apologize!" ”

Ai Ye glanced at Sakura when he heard this, lowered his head and walked in front of Sakuraku step by step, then raised his head and looked at Sakuraku's face with a somewhat stern expression.

"Sakuraku-san......"

"Huh?"

Ai Ye lowered his head, grabbed his tattered princess dress and rubbed it around, and tried to apologize several times, but he couldn't succeed.

Sakura, on the other hand, was standing behind Ai Ye, looking at Ai Ye, who had been bowing his head and rubbing his skirt, jumping around in a hurry, "Oh, Master, don't rub your skirt, apologize!" After that, I'll buy you a new one, okay, don't rub that skirt, it's almost on fire! ’

Sasuke looked at Ai Ye, who had his head down, and pondered, as if he was thinking about what he should say when he apologized.

And our protagonist Sakuraku is holding his chest with both hands, and he doesn't urge Ai Ye, just standing quietly in front of her, watching Ai Ye rub his head and rub his skirt.

Time passed like this, and just when Sakura couldn't wait anymore and wanted to go up to help, Ai Ye suddenly spoke, his voice was very soft, but very clear.

"I'm sorry."

Sakura looked at the ground at Ai Ye's feet as if it had been dripping by rain, her stern expression relaxed, she squatted down and lifted Ai Ye's face, wiping her tears while whispering, "Do you know it's wrong?" ”

Ai Ye, who was in tears, sniffled, looked at Sakuraku's somewhat distressed expression, and nodded heavily.

"If you know you're wrong, you have to change it."

Sakuraku rubbed Aino's head, scratched her nose and said, "No matter what reason you have, you can't do that kind of thing to your friends, understand?" ”

Hearing this, Ai Ye nodded heavily, then raised his hand, wiped his tears with his dirty sleeve and said, "Understood." ”

Sakuraku looked at Ai Ye's cat-like face, smiled, took out her handkerchief, and cleaned up Ai Ye, and Ai Ye noticed the bleeding handkerchief that Sakura tied to her left hand, and at this time she finally realized how excessive she had done.

Ai Ye, who couldn't control his emotions anymore, threw himself directly into Sakuraku's arms, and cried loudly while apologizing.

And Sakuraku, who was originally cleaning Ai Ye's face again, hugged Ai Ye who threw herself into her arms in distress, and gently stroked Ai Ye's head while comforting her.

Sakura looked at Ai Ye, who was crying in Sakuraku's arms, and touched two tears, looking up at Sasuke, but unexpectedly found that Sasuke was also looking at her, and the two looked at each other tacitly and smiled, without saying a word.

After a while, Ai Ye, who had finally finished crying, got out of Sakuraku's arms, turned around and bowed to Sasuke, and apologized again: "I'm sorry, little cool brother, I shouldn't have been like that, I promise there won't be a next time." ”

"Actually, it's my fault."

After taking a deep breath, Sasuke also bowed to Aino and said, "If I had explained it to you earlier, it wouldn't have happened, I'm sorry." ”

Sakuraku looked at the two who bowed and apologized to each other, smiled with relief, then stood up and clapped her hands and said, "Okay, since you apologized to each other, then this matter, let's turn it over." ”

Speaking of this, Sakuraku looked at Ai Ye, who straightened up, pointed at Sasuke, and continued: "Sasuke's matter, you should be clear, and you are not allowed to lose your temper because of this matter in the future." ”

"Got it."

After Ai Ye responded to Sakuraku, after looking at Sasuke, who nodded to him, he asked Sakuraku a little worriedly, "Then will you still be as good to me as before in the future?" ”

“…… What nonsense are you talking about. ”

Sakuraku looked at Ai Ye a little speechless and said, "When did I treat you badly?" ”

Ai Ye pursed his lips when he heard this, snorted and walked to Sakura's side, hugged her arm, and made a grimace at Sakuraku and Sasuke at the same time and said, "You have Sasuke!" I have Sakura! ”

"Division...... Master...... What do you mean! ”

"That's right!"

Ai Ye patted Sakura, who was surprised, pinched his waist and said, "From today on, you will be my Ai Ye's personal disciple!" ”

Speaking of which, Ai Ye thought for a moment, then pointed at Sasuke and added, "Don't lose to that guy!" ”

"Yes! Master! ”

'What do you call that guy......'

Sasuke glanced at Ai Ye a little helplessly, then looked up and whispered to Sakuraku, "Master, about the disqualification of Sakura-chan for the exam...... Can you just leave it at that? ”

When Sakuraku heard this, she glanced at Sasuke and said with a smile, "You want to help her intercede?" ”

"Uh...... Sort of......"

Sasuke smiled a little embarrassed when he heard this, and said, "After all, it's all a team, and besides, Sakura chased it out at that time, and there was a reason for it." ”

After Sakuraku heard this, the corners of her mouth hooked up with a satisfied smile, and she nodded and said, "Since it is my lovely disciple's request, then Master I will definitely handle it at my discretion." ”

After saying that, no matter what Sasuke's expression was, he walked directly towards Ai Ye and Sakura, and Sasuke, who was suddenly teased by Sakuraku, stood in place in a daze.

"Yes...... Lovely? ”

Sasuke looked at Sakuraku's back in a daze, and it was estimated that he would not think that he would be molested one day.

……

When the time came to evening, the few people who had reunited returned to the central tower of the Forest of Death from the empty mountain, and Naruto, who had been walking around outside the tower, saw that several people had returned safely, and at the same time he was relieved and curious and whispered to Sasuke: "Hey, Sasuke, Sakuraku-sa and Aino, they ......"

Naruto didn't continue, but after glancing at Sakuraku and Aino, he made a seal of reconciliation towards Sasuke.

And Sasuke nodded slightly after seeing Naruto's movements.

"That's good, that's good......"

After Naruto got the answer from Sasuke, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to see him running up to Ai Ye and Sakuraku, saying something to the two with a hippie smile.

And Sasuke didn't bother to care about that person's madness, turned his head to Sakura, who was following him, and asked, "Did Sakura-sama-san tell you about you?" ”

"Hmm!"

Seeing Sasuke take the initiative to talk to him, Sakura responded with a sweet smile: "Sister Sakuraku said that she would let me re-participate in the qualifiers tomorrow, and said that it was all thanks to you." ”

After saying that, Sakura blinked her big eyes and said to Sasuke, who was a little red, "Thank you~"

"You're welcome, it's all a squad."

Sasuke hurriedly waved his hand, and after responding to Sakura casually, he ran towards Naruto, and after saying something to him, Naruto with an excited face ran to the forest near the central tower with Sasuke with an eager face.

A moment later, the sound of fists and feet intersecting sounded in the forest, this is Sasuke going to fulfill his promise to Naruto today, and Sakuraku and Ai Ye naturally didn't bother to care about the friendly exchange between the team members, and directly pulled Sakura back to the living area of the central tower.

As night fell, there was a sudden knock on the door of the duo's room, who had washed up and changed their clothes and were ready to go to bed, and Sakura got up and opened the door, only to find Naruto and Sasuke standing outside the door, supporting each other.

Sakura looked at the two people with blue noses and swollen faces, shook her head helplessly, opened her mouth and called Ai Ye over, and after giving the two of them a simple treatment, she rushed them back to their own house.

Sakuraku, who locked the door, turned off the light, and lay down on the bed again, Ai Ye saw Sakuraku lying back, and tried to arch into Sakuraku's arms with a sly smile.

"How do you look like a little piggy."

Sakuraku smiled and joked about Ai Ye, and then hugged Ai Ye, who was arching back and forth, into his arms.

Ai Ye, who was held in Sakuraluo's arms, raised his head slightly, looked at Sakuraluo, and said with a smile: "Sister Sakuraluo, you are so good~~"

"Bear-like."

After Sakuraku responded with a smile, the hand holding Ai Ye tightened, closed his eyes and said, "Sleep." ”

"Hmm~~"
