"yes, okay." Sakura's first reaction was to say yes, pausing for a few seconds before looking up at him again, "Why?" ”

"What, why?" He asked rhetorically.

"You're not pitying me, are you?" Sakura looked serious, "I don't look very pitiful now, it's just that I just made up a story." ”

"What does it feel like to be deceived?"

"It doesn't matter if you lie to me, I don't care." Naruto grabbed Sakura's hand and pulled her up, "But, you can't lie to yourself. ”

"It doesn't matter if you're making up a story or making up a story, it doesn't matter if it's just looking for me to have fun."

"There's only one thing, tell me now, do you want to go out with me?"

Sakura was silent and stared at him several times. He glanced down at the unfinished document again, and stared at it for a long time, as if he was hesitating.

Naruto found that it was Sakura's reaction that seemed to be even more sluggish than before, and he had to think about everything for a while before he could answer.

"Okay." She spoke.

Sakura got up slowly, took a sip of water, and turned off the lights in the office with a snap before leaving. As the door creaked shut, she turned around and hesitated.

"Sometimes I stay in the Hokage building all night, or I just sleep here."

Naruto didn't know much about that, so he didn't comment, just hummed softly. In the corridor, the crackling footsteps of the two sounded staggered.

"When you can't sleep, do you usually work overtime?" Naruto asked.

"How is that possible, I'm not stupid." Sakura walked beside him with her hands behind her back, "Where can the work be done, it's done today, and there will be tomorrow." ”

She waved her hand and gestured in an exaggerated circle.

"It's endless, it's impossible to finish."

Outside the Hokage Building, the summer sky is bright and the night breeze is sluggish.

The two paused at the intersection before Naruto pointed in one direction. At times like these, making choices first to guide Sakura in the direction will be more conducive to the conversation.

He wanted to figure out what happened to Sakura, and then solve it, and he couldn't delay it any longer.

"I know a place where there are few people, and you can see the stars on the roof."

"Where?" Sakura was a little confused, but she still asked more, and her eyes passed through the lights of the mountain. Raising his eyes into the distance, he looked into the darker night.

A very remote place, in an inconspicuous part of the village. It looks like an illegal building, but it doesn't matter, the whole wooden leaves are densely packed like a village built on an illegal building.

Under the night sky, the two climbed the building in the tree. Continue up the crooked staircase, over a suspended bridge made of several wooden planks, and into a piece of roof that resembles an abandoned one.

With a snap, Sakura landed steadily, and the evening breeze blew the pink hair on her forehead. Looking up, it was half of the remaining roof, and the other half had collapsed.

By the faint light, you can see the weedy roof faults. The view is wide, as if it is wide-angled, and there are no other houses to block the view.

It was quiet, it was pitch black. In the distance, you can see the faint lights, and the whole Konoha seems to be dormant. Overhead, there was a vast starry sky, and a clear starlight enveloped the entire village.

"This is it." Naruto walked to the other side of the roof, "It's my first time here, and I found it by wandering around before. ”

"I've always wanted to come up and have a look, but I haven't found a chance."

He didn't ask Sakura about it, and he didn't care about what had just happened in the Hokage's office. It's like you've forgotten everything, or you don't care.

"So it's nice here, right?"

"Okay." Sakura couldn't say anything like that anymore, and her expression was a little serious, and she stood on top of the abandoned rooftop, looking up at the starry sky like a bowl.

"Don't you have anything to ask?" Sakura turned to look at Naruto.

"Nope." Naruto sat down, took out the drink from the sealed Kazama, opened the can with a puff and handed it to Sakura, "Here." ”

Sakura walked over to grab the drink, looked up and asked again, "You really don't want to know anything?" ”

"I want to know, but I don't care about anything else, I just want to know if you're in trouble." Naruto opened himself a can of drink and said as he pulled the iron ring.

"You're my only companion, if you trust me enough. I want you to say it yourself, not for me to ask. ”

"What do you say about that kind of thing?" Sakura looked up at the starry sky again, "Normal people wouldn't believe it, the second personality ran out, and I couldn't sleep for a whole year." ”

"Probably only you will believe it, and you can only tell you."

"Because I don't care, so, don't bother to question." Naruto said half-truthfully, glancing at Sakura again, "Actually, it doesn't make a difference to me, and you're fine too." ”

"If you can, it's not bad to keep going like this."

"Just good, isn't it?" The expression on Sakura's face suddenly became relaxed, leaning forward slightly, and his tone began to lengthen, and Naruto's scalp suddenly tingled slightly when he heard this.

Here it is, here it is, all too familiar.

"It's so quiet here, and it's usually couples in this kind of wilderness, right?" Sakura asked with a smile.

"Not really, it's probably us." Naruto pointed at himself with a serious face, and then at Sakura, emphatically, "Don't say anything strange, especially if it's easy to misunderstand at a time like this. ”

"Huh? But I'm wearing it today" Sakura didn't finish speaking, Naruto covered her mouth, and cold sweat flowed down her forehead.

"It doesn't matter what you wear, you don't have to share that with me." He said.

Sakura stubbornly lifted the corner of her clothes, and was interrupted by the sharp-eyed Naruto, solemnly warning.

"Don't do weird things."

"Hee-hee, are you nervous?" Sakura removed his hand and said with a smile, "You didn't care at all before, and you didn't care about what I did. ”

"So." Sakura suddenly leaned over, "Do more with me!" ”

"Something that has never been done before."

Her chest was almost pressed against Naruto's body, her white arms hanging down behind her back. There was a lighthearted smile on his face, and his eyes were crooked into crescents.

"Anyway, you like me a little bit now, don't you?"

"These are two different things." Naruto stared at her with a complicated expression, "We're still young now, study hard. Phew, do your job well. ”

He wants to solve Sakura's problems, not to take care of all the problems with a big hand, but to take the initiative to solve Sakura's current troubles. The general process is similar to fixing small bugs, and there is no need to find the root cause if the program can run.

After all, even if Naruto wants to take care of everything, when it comes to the issue of dual personality, he is more than willing to do it.

In short, he only needs to be stable on the surface, even if he is considered scumbag. The words of the Holy Mother are simply self-torture.

Faced with Naruto's strong perfunctory intentions, Sakura was not angry.

"Why do you keep rejecting me?"

"I didn't refuse, I never knew how to refuse." He retorted, uttering a hypocritical quote, "I just said it, and it's for your own good." ”

"The so-called relationship is gradual, and the goodwill deepens little by little. It's still a long time, why not"

"You're perfunctory to me, aren't you?" Sakura interrupted him suddenly, her eyes showing resentment.

"Nope." He subconsciously denied it.

"How could it not be, you will subconsciously look away every time you perfunctory me." Sakura's voice was low, "I just want to get close to you, to blend in." ”

"Don't say such a horrible thing! Damn it! Naruto took a half step back.

Looking at Sakura, who was a little forgetful, a certain yellow hair wet her back with cold sweat. Damn, it's not really going to be sick, that's too scary. Brother Cheng's serene black and white photo flashed in his mind, and he shook his head violently.

The noble stranger will be suppressed by the sick blood of a split personality.

"But. . . I want to leave traces of my interactions. Sakura further said, staring at Naruto with her eyes fixed, "Just today, here, under the stars. ”

Naruto blinked, his mind wandering on the edge of 404.

"I," he pondered, how to refuse.

"I don't want to." Sakura suddenly lowered her head, "I want to take my time, too, as long as I'm with Naruto-kun, it's a lifelong companion." ”

"No matter what it is, as long as I can be with Naruto-kun, I don't mind. It doesn't matter if it's nameless, it doesn't matter if you can't hold hands openly, I like it all. ”

"But!" Sakura's voice suddenly took on a nasal tone, "I really can't sleep, it's been a lot longer, no matter how you close your eyes, it's twenty-four hours." ”

"Every minute and every second is awake, and at one o'clock in the morning, all the voices will be quiet."

"At two o'clock, the drunks downstairs in my house will always vomit at the telephone pole. Four o'clock, the old man next door got up and went downstairs, five o'clock"

Sakura's voice grew more and more agitated, and finally took Naruto's wrist.

"I haven't slept for a whole year, I'm not a normal person at all, I've tried hard to sleep, but it's useless."

"I don't want to do that! But I was a substitute and never really lived. After seeing this world, I still have to go back. ”

"It's okay for you to be perfunctory, no matter what, I just want to ask you one thing, do you want to have a relationship with me?"

There was silence all around, and Naruto didn't say anything. Sakura was a little emotional now, and whatever he said was inappropriate. So the two of them spent more than ten minutes like this, and they stood on top of the half-collapsed roof.

"Forget it, I'm much better."

After a long time, Sakura sniffed, let go of Naruto, and said with a deep breath.

"Let's go somewhere else, I can't sleep."

"Okay." He looked to the other side of the night, which was the more remote field area of Konoha Street, "Anyway, let's go down from here first." ”

Yesterday was too sleepy, the pigeon, and the guilt was bursting
