Early morning.

When Sakura had breakfast with her every day, she found that Ino hadn't come out of her room yet, and this time was usually the only time Tsunade would sleep in.

"Ino hasn't gotten up yet?"

"Seems to be."

"Is she going to be late for a while?"

Sakura got up and knocked on the door of Ino's room, shouting inside, "Ino, it's time for breakfast." ”

There was no sound inside, and Sakura had doubts in her heart, so she pushed the door open and walked in after a little thought.

The curtains were closed, and Ino was still lying on the bed as if he was asleep.

"Ino?" Sakura gently lifted the quilt.

Ino opened his eyes sleepily.

"Sakura-chan......"

"You're going to be late."

“……”

Seeing that Ino still didn't react, Sakura wondered, "Are you feeling unwell?" ”

Then he reached out and touched her forehead, and her body temperature was normal.

Ino wrapped the quilt tightly and said after a while, "I don't want to go today." ”

"You're on leave?"

"No ......"

Sakura pondered, "Then what should I do, not going?" Do you want me to ask for a leave of absence? ”

"Okay."

Ino's answer was unusually brief, and Sakura sensed that her mood didn't seem quite right, and said, "Then you can rest well, and leave breakfast for you." ”

"Hmm."

Sakura walked out of the room and said to Tiantian, "She asked for leave today." ”

"She's not feeling well, huh?"

Sakura counted the days and said, "I guess it's a period." ”

Tian Tian nodded thoughtfully.

After breakfast and getting dressed, Sakura left the house, and she didn't have much work every day, mostly helping Tsunade run errands.

She first made her way to the office building, all the way to the top floor.

And there happened to be two people here.

Kakashi, Maitkai.

"It's you!" Kai said very familiarly as soon as he saw Sakura.

"Ah...... Hello. Sakura smiled politely.

"You're also coming to Your Majesty?" Kay asked.

"I'm here to help Ino take a leave, she's not feeling well."

"Your Majesty is talking to someone else inside."

"Then I'll wait outside for a while."

Kakashi sat quietly on the couch and said nothing, looking like a cool guy.

Sakura-chan looked at him frequently, muttering to herself how Kakashi-sensei was like Sasuke when he was a child.

Blame it for not getting used to it......

"Your name is Sakura Haruno, aren't you?" Maitkai spoke to her again.

"Yes."

"Your physical skills are very powerful, I still remember the previous battle, and we can learn again if we have a chance."

“…… Chances are. ”

Kai's expression suddenly became eager: "That's it!" Let's make an appointment, where do you stay? ”

“……”

"Kay." Kakashi opened his mouth and called softly, presumably thinking that Kai was not very polite.

Sakura thought in her heart that Mr. Akai was completely a copy of Xiao Li when she was a child.

Xiao Li ...... Xiao Li doesn't know where he is now......

Sakura's eyes dimmed.

After a while, a person came out of the office, it was Yahiko.

Sakura recognized him, but didn't say anything, just looked at him and bowed her head slightly.

Kakashi and Kai walked in together.

Sakura got up and went to the place where Ino worked, and saw that the table was neatly arranged, and there were a few documents that were put on hold at random, which should have been sent today.

She caught a glimpse of a note, and curiosity drove her to pick it up and look at it, and found that it was written by someone else to Ino, and the content on it was roughly to invite Inono to dinner, but the words written were very tactful.

Sakura couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking that Ino was so popular everywhere.

There was more than one note, and she caught a glimpse of what seemed to be quite a few in the trash can next to her, and Sakura looked left and right to make sure there was no one before she went to sit down behind the table and picked up some of the notes in the trash basket.

Not just a note, but two love letters.

Sakura looked at it with great interest, but soon found a piece of paper in Ino's own handwriting, and the content written on it was also strange.

Black silk, fishnet stockings, thongs, anal ......

Sakura was stunned.

She looked into the garbage basket again, turned all the papers out, and opened them one by one, but she didn't see anything that Ino had written.

What do these mean?

Suddenly, there was a sound in the office inside, and Sakura hurriedly threw all the waste paper into the trash can, and secretly put away Ino's own handwriting.

Kakashi and Kai walked out.

"Let's go first, and then we'll get in touch." Kay waved at her,

Sakura just smiled awkwardly and walked into the office as well.

Hinata sat at the desk, Sakura's eyes flashed, and she went up to greet, "Your Majesty." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Ino is not feeling well today, so she specially asked me to ask you for a leave."

Zhen Wenyan glanced up at her slightly, and then said, "I know." ”

Sakura didn't leave, hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty...... I want to ask you something. ”

"Say."

"It's about my former companion, Rock Lee."

"He's doing well now, you don't have to worry about it." Really said indifferently.

"......," Sakura pursed her lips in place.

Mashu looked at her again and asked, "Haven't you been to see Nara Shikamaru and them for a long time?" ”

Sakura's heart trembled when she heard this.

"I ......"

She had been living here for a year, and at first she was still visiting the prison every week.

However, every time I visited, I felt more guilty and powerless.

Until Shikamaru asked her why Ino and Tian didn't go, she really didn't know what reason to use, so she said a prevarication with the excuse that they were not feeling well.

At that time, Shikamaru said that she didn't have to go again in the future, so that they could make each other feel better.

Every time he saw her, he was full of hope, and every time his hope was dashed.

For the following week, Sakura didn't go back, and slowly, it seemed that there was no such thing in their lives, and they all tacitly agreed not to mention it, as if they had drawn a line with everything in the past.

It was indeed useful, they were all used to a new life in this world, a new identity in this world, and there was a lot of joy in life.

Now Hinata Zhen suddenly mentioned it, so that Sakura has to face those things in her heart again.

She hung her head and said nothing, not knowing how to answer.

Shin then handed over a document and said, "This is for Tsunade." ”

Sakura hurriedly took it with both hands, and then left the office as if she were running away.

When she walked out of the office building, she breathed a long sigh of relief, looking at the sunny sky outside, but her heart was panicked.

Shikamaru, Ya, Shino, will you hate us......

Sakura was a little distracted throughout the day, and it wasn't until the evening when she got home that she felt better.

She saw that Ino was lying on the sofa reading a book, and suddenly thought of the note she had seen today.

"I'm back."

"Well, haven't you come back yet?"

"No, I'm going to cook today, what do you want to eat?" Ino took the initiative to say.

"You can watch it." Sakura was also lying on the sofa.

Ino walked to the kitchen as he spoke, and after a while, Sakura heard a faucet in the kitchen, and immediately got up from the sofa and quietly walked into Ino's room.

She touched the bed first, then the drawers of the bedside table, and finally opened the closet, groping in it with a very light motion.

Finally, in the innermost part of a storage basket, I touched a hard object.

She didn't take it out, but felt its shape with her hands, like a spinning top, with a rounded tip and a rounded base at the bottom.

The contents of the note came back to Sakura's mind, and she withdrew her hand with a lightning bolt, her mind fluctuating and her eyes widening.

Ino, Ino, she ......
