Following.

Naruto was urgently summoned by Kakashi in the morning, and the seventh squad regrouped to prepare for the mission.

Under the big green tree that agreed to gather, Sasuke was the first to arrive, with a cold face and a somewhat strange look in his eyes, as if he was troubled by something. The moment he saw Naruto, he just cut and turned his head and didn't speak again.

Naruto didn't feel anything, and found a place to sit and rest on the grass, looking calm.

"Sas, I advise you to sit down and wait, Kakashi will definitely find a reason to be late."

Hearing this, Sasuke glanced at Naruto with an expressionless face.

"Idiot."

Ten minutes later, Sasuke sat honestly on the grass.

Twenty minutes later, the two were separated by a distance, lying neatly like two corpses.

"Sorry!! I...... I'm late. ”

Sakura Haruno ran over in a panic, her short pink hair rising and falling, and she closed her eyes and bowed and apologized.

"Suddenly a group of patients came to the hospital and were left behind to help."

When I opened my eyes, I suddenly saw two people lying on the ground in unison.

"Huh?"

Ten minutes later, Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura were lying on the grass together.

Naruto tilted his head slightly, just in time to meet Sakura's eyes, and couldn't help but smile at each other with some embarrassment.

Sakura still looks like that, with her short hair tied up casually, and she looks much more capable. The exposed arms are slender and white, the chest is slightly bulging, and the smile is confident and gentle.

Sakura seems to have grown a lot in the medical department, and she has lost her previous naivety and panic.

"Naruto, you seem to have grown a little taller?"

"I guess so." Naruto touched the top of his head with his hand, "Probably because of eating green vegetables, my appetite has obviously increased." ”

"But, Sakura-chan, your skin seems to be getting better."

"Huh? Is there such a thing? ”

"yes, I don't believe you asked Sasuke."

"Boring."

"Well, they all came early, and they didn't seem to be late." Kakashi suddenly appeared in the tree, startling the three people below.

"Kakashi-sensei, would you like to see what time it is?" Sakura is helpless.

"It's obvious that you're late!" Naruto complained.

"35 minutes." Sasuke looked dismissive.

Kakashi said as he jumped down from the tree, smiled casually, stared at a dead fish eye, and touched the back of his head.

"There was a black cat that just ran past me, so I ......"

......

"This mission is over here, I'm going back to the Hokage Building to submit a mission report." Kakashi said lazily, "All three of them are doing well, and Sakura's progress is fast. ”

"Anyway, disband, there should be a new mission tomorrow. After the last five generations took office, all the accumulated tasks had to be done, and the situation of other classes was similar to ours. ”

"Yes!" The three of them replied for a long time, and then they all laughed.

Kakashi scratched his head and smiled, Class Seven was the first ninja class he had ever led, and possibly the last. Before leaving, Kakashi's afterglow quickly passed over Sasuke's body.

On this mission, Sasuke's performance was a little abnormal, and he was too anxious.

The four of them dispersed in their respective directions, Sakura had to go back to the medical department, Sasuke practiced, Kakashi handed over, and Naruto went home and lay down.

Konoha Street.

After wandering around aimlessly, he drove into the ruined building.

It's just that he searched around, but found that the building had already been empty.

Tayuya doesn't seem to be hiding here anymore, and all traces of it have disappeared cleanly. At dusk, the last rays of light were swallowed up.

In an instant, the abandoned building was pitch black

Naruto stood in that corner and watched for a while, thinking that Tayuya had probably joined the other three of the Otoshinobi Four, and in the morning, Sasuke's eyes were not right, and he was probably about to defect.

Go downstairs and leave.

I just found a place to fill my stomach, and I really didn't want to cook by myself. I have to do the task tomorrow, so let's go to bed early and wake up early.

The next day, Naruto arrived at yesterday's meeting point on time, only to receive a short notice from Kakashi.

The task is canceled.

"Why was it cancelled?" Naruto asked.

"I don't know." Sakura said helplessly, "Kakashi-sensei only said that the mission was canceled, and it seemed that there was something important for me to remember to inform you, and then I left without saying anything." ”

"Maybe it's a more dangerous S-class mission."

"Shall we ...... Let's disperse. Naruto yawned, waved his hand and said, "It just so happened that I woke up in the middle of the night last night and didn't sleep well, so go back and make up for sleep." ”

"Hmm." Sasuke turned and left.

"Sakura-chan, goodbye." Naruto was about to leave, but was stopped by Sakura.

"Naruto, can you do me a favor." She said.

Konoha Hospital, corridor.

The white walls reflected a large halo of light, and the strong smell of disinfectant lingered on the tip of the nose. The hallway was wet, obviously just dragged through, with warnings at the ends of both ends saying something like watch out for slipping.

"I'm sorry, the medical department is too busy." Sakura couldn't hide her guilt, "If I have to catch up with the mission tomorrow, I might be late again." ”

"It's just a matter of sorting out the sheets, a little thing." Naruto glanced at the stack of papers on the desk in his office.

He was tempted to say that maybe he wouldn't have to go on a mission tomorrow. Although the team led by the shinobi without guidance also needs to accept simple C-level missions, if the team is short of members, it will not be able to carry out the mission.

"Thank you, Naruto." Sakura said with some restraint.

"Sakura-chan, come on!!" A head popped up at the end of the corridor of the department, and the ninja wearing the uniform of the medical department waved his hand more and more anxiously, "Come here and help!" ”

"Yes, Senpai!" Sakura hurriedly ran over, her white legs swayed, and she turned around and hurriedly shouted at Naruto, "Please eat barbecue when you're done." ”

"Oh."

He walked into the empty office, pulled out his chair and began to sort through the papers one by one. These were all fallen during the collapse of Konoha period, and there were too many patients to make up for the information.

It's actually not tiring to sort it out, it's just that the procedure is a little cumbersome, and Sakura has already told him in advance. Naruto followed the established procedure, and time flew by.

At noon, Sakura walked into the office with her waist stretched and sat down across from Naruto with a tired face. I took a large pile of materials and began to sort them out.

"The work of the medical department is too busy, I'm really sorry to trouble you." Sakura said with a little guilt, "I originally wanted to call Ino, but she went on a mission today. ”

Naruto heard Sakura mention Ino, and couldn't help but think of the scene the night before, and couldn't help but look helpless. I didn't mention Temari if I knew it, and I didn't explain it clearly in the end.

Ino rushed back to the store, and the matter was over.
