Hokage Master

Chapter 289: Enough is enough

Sakura abruptly turned away and returned to her cooking. Even if it was hurtful, now she understood everything and was not going to let him get what he wanted. If this is some plan to piss her off, she won’t get caught again! But, that’s what was scary … Did he initially drive her into a trap and offended her, already realizing that everything would be so? Did he deliberately staged this quarrel? Or maybe right now, he’s just checking on her?

“Damn… He thinks I’m such a fool?!” Annoyed by her thoughts, she slammed the knife sharply on the table and almost broke the board:

“Heck! Does he really think that I didn’t understand the first time ?!

This attitude is too humiliating!

However, Naruto did not seem to notice her internal struggle and just ate a pie, and then completely took out sake from his scroll, and mixing alcohol with milk, continued to get drunk in a brazen house in a strange house.

He enjoyed… And did not deny himself views…

When Sakura discovered this, she didn’t know how to react. At first she wanted to give him a beating, but now, realizing that perhaps all this was a test or a provocation, she found the strength to restrain herself. True, the kunoichi’s voice still turned cold.

“Naruto, what are you doing here?”

When she came right up like that, with a knife, and even asking in such a threatening tone, he glanced warily at her:

“Are you going to kill me?” – but could not help smiling: – A good start … After all, if I die, then I won’t have to put up with it. Clever.

“Wh-what…” Sakura frowned, “What the hell? I would never… This is not funny! Who do you take me for?!

“Who do you take me for?” – he gave her a bored look, not hiding a malicious smirk: – You are so tense. Do you think I’m testing you? Am I trying to freak out?

– BUT? Sakura didn’t know what to think now…

“Come on,” Naruto waved his hand and took a sip of sake, then nodded to the seat across from him.

– Sit down, I’ll explain everything.

The girl’s frown deepened, but she complied, and then restrained herself as he began pouring sake for her.

“What the hell… What was he up to?”

Naruto reacted to her angry look with a grin and explained:

“I don’t mind moving to a truce, alcohol helps here, what do you say?”

– I don’t like to drink.

– Ino spoke differently…

— Tch! This fool … – Sakura twisted her lips: – And for a long time she “Tells” you something?

“She’s not important right now.” He evaded easily. “We’d better talk about you.”

– And what about me? – the girl was indignant: – What’s wrong?

Why, something must be wrong? Naruto wondered as he continued to sip his drink nonchalantly. Such a tone and these words surprised Sakura, but she still did not take them as something normal…

Isn’t this a test? Sakura is so hot-tempered, so aggressive that she even hurts her friends, doesn’t she?! So you think of me?! She jumped up and exploded.

– Yes, I am! I’m such a crazy fool that I can offend even loved ones! Yes! I’m so pleased with this business, what, what…” Her shoulders suddenly trembled, she clenched her fists and hissed sadly:

— I hate it… I hate it so much…

Emotions suddenly overwhelmed her…

Suddenly, with a dull sound, drops began to fall right on the table… Drops of tears.

– BUT?

Tears?

She cried?

Naruto could have sworn that he had no conscience, but… When he saw this, he could not remain silent:

“Sakura, I’m not here to annoy you or make fun of you. I don’t know what you were thinking, but I find your quick temper and excessive emotionality very attractive.

– BUT? bewilderment flashed in her eyes shining with tears, she looked at him as she had not looked at him for a long time, as at a friend …

“Naruto…” Sniffing her nose, Sakura blinked sweetly.

She herself did not understand why she suddenly began to cry right in front of him …

– What? – he let out a chuckle, pouring himself another portion: – Drink already, there will be enough tears for today.

Frankly, even he did not count on such a thing. Although, given the illness of this girl, it was probably not worth being surprised …

She wiped away the tears, but they continued to flow. A strange sight…

Sakura looked at him a little longer, and then smiled awkwardly and nodded.

– L-okay…

Crying and screaming was really inappropriate. But what to do… It just so happened. His shoulders were still trembling, and his chest ached. Sooner or later it had to happen.

“It seems that his changes are not as scary as I thought…” Her heart felt lighter, and then he spoke the words that made her completely doubt these thoughts!

“Sakura, I care about you so much that I’m even ready to appear in your eyes as a complete bastard. I already knew what it would lead to when I constantly pursued this egoist … You may not understand, get angry, hate, but I will always be there to open your eyes. Never again will I indulge what hurts you. I’ve had enough…” His voice became heavier, causing the already sad Sakura to tremble.

“If you continue to be unhappy, I swear I will do everything to destroy what you so naively believe in. Even if you hate me with all my heart, I will!

“N-naruto…” Her eyes widened in shock, her lips trembling.

“Y-you… You… W-why?”

My chest hurt so badly that it almost collapsed…

She understood who he was talking about, and that ruthless tone…

Why is he suddenly talking about it?

When Sakura’s eyes softened again, he just sighed.

“I know what you’re going to say, just don’t scream or cry, okay?” I’ve already decided everything. He will be back soon, then everything will be decided, let’s see what he chooses. I think you yourself would like to know.

“B-but…” Her gentle and weak voice gave off weakness and indecision, and therefore, he answered for her, as if knowing every thought of the kunoichi:

“What’s selfish about being with someone you love?” Even if that’s the case… Ridiculous. Aren’t these relationships themselves the result of selfishness? If it wasn’t for your selfishness, I would…

He stopped abruptly when he saw her face turn pale, her eyebrows lowered sadly, and then she covered her face and burst into tears.

She didn’t say anything, tears said everything for her…

He pushed so hard that in the end she could not restrain herself again …

How could she not know about this? Of course, she remembered everything… Every word of his…
