Konoha’s Street, No. 404.

Naruto came downstairs wearing a loose short-sleeved shirt, yawning and looking like he hadn't woken up yet. He vaguely remembered he had forgotten something, but he couldn’t figure out what it was.

His stomach growled, so he decided to go find something to eat.

After wandering around the streets for a while, he stood outside a shop, indecisively trying to figure out what he wanted. Just then, someone lightly tapped him on the shoulder.

A faint fragrance wafted over, mixed with the subtle smell of disinfectant.

"What are you standing here for?"

Naruto turned around and saw Sakura standing there, beaming as usual. Her pale arms hung down at her sides, tied behind her back, and her slim waist and graceful figure were clad in black stockings.

For some reason, Dark Sakura always gave him this vibe of being serious but with a playful undertone. Her smiles were a mix of real and fake, as if she’d humor you seriously even if she was annoyed.

That’s probably why she was so popular at Konoha Hospital. Her popularity was so high that just standing there, she could draw half the building’s patients out to watch, creating quite a spectacle.

Naruto remembered that one time he went to Konoha Hospital to visit the injured Choji. The guy in the bed next to Choji had a minor wound but kept pestering Sakura, asking if it was serious.

Sakura, though clearly annoyed, humored him with a perfectly serious tone and expression, something like, "Am I okay?"

"As long as you don’t tear it open or soak it in water, it should be fine. But you could always consult another department if you want, or if you don’t want to waste time, you can visit the records room."

"The records room? What’s in there?"

"It contains records of many severe cases, which could serve as a reference for your recovery. If things got worse, you’ll at least be mentally prepared."

"Really? So, will I be okay?"

"Hmm."

Naruto saw with his own eyes that a man who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to strike up a conversation with a girl, but ended up going back for a follow-up checkup in a panic. And of course, nothing was wrong when he finished the check-up.

Sakura often left things half-said, which is actually keeping people in suspense. But if someone anxiously pressed her for more, she’d just shrug innocently.

Yet this playful trick was usually reserved for Naruto. On good days, Naruto would sometimes play along with her, listening as forbidden words slipped from her mouth, all while remaining completely unfazed.

As Naruto grew older, his burdens lightened, while it seemed Dark Sakura was the one who would blush when caught using risqué language. Most of the time, their banter ended with Naruto having the upper hand.

But occasionally, Sakura also wanted to turn the tables and gain the upper hand.

"Hm? Why are you spacing out? Weren’t you going to get something to eat?" Sakura waved her hand in front of his eyes and asked with a smile.

"You eating too?" He asked.

"Are you asking me out?" She asked with a teasing smile.

"Eat if you want." Naruto shrugged and walked into a nearby restaurant. As he looked for a seat, he noticed that Sakura had followed him inside.

Most of Konoha's restaurants are concentrated in the central area, including Ichiraku Ramen. Further out, places to eat were scarcer, but the quality was surprisingly high.

"What do you want to eat?" Naruto asked.

Sakura stared at him with an expression that said, ‘You're so mean to me’. Naruto was unbothered, and reached out to ruffle her hair, then leaned back in his chair and slowly flipped through the menu.

Eventually, he ordered two dishes and passed the menu to her.

"Naruto." She called out to him.

"Yeah?"

"How’s it going with Ino?" Sakura asked.

"What do you mean?" Naruto said, "She haven't paid any attention to me since we came back from the last mission. What else can I do?"

"Why don’t you go make up with her?"

"I’ll think about it. I haven’t even seen her recently." Naruto fiddled with the chopsticks in his hand and said nonchalantly, "Besides, I probably won’t be doing group missions with them anymore."

"Are you mad?" She asked.

"No, it’s just not a good fit." Naruto said, "Tsunade-sama also agreed. Under normal circumstances, we should team up with Jonin, unless our teammates have strong self-protection capabilities."

"Then what about me?" Sakura was stunned.

"You're a Medical-nin, so you're an exception." Naruto glanced at her and said in half-serious, half-joking tone, "If something dangerous happens, I’ll have to rely on you to save my life."

"I don't believe you." Sakura laughed, then added teasingly, "Unless you **** with me too."

"Cough, cough!" Naruto was drinking water and almost choked. His throat became half hoarse. He looked up and asked, "What did you just say?"

"Before the last mission, you did something weird with Ino, didn’t you? I want it too." Sakura tilted her head mischievously.

The food arrived, and Naruto handed Sakura a pair of chopsticks.

"You think this is sharing toy? What do you mean, ‘you want it too’? Do you even know what you’re talking about?"

"There’s no way I’m mistaken. The red mark on Ino’s neck was your doing, wasn’t it? I don’t care, I want one too. It’s not like anyone else would know anyway." Sakura said, biting into a piece of food, only to be hit by a sudden burst of spiciness.

She hurriedly fanned her mouth with her hand and took a big gulp of water, swallowing it all at once, leaving a bit of water clinging to the corner of her lips.

"Do whatever you want, I'm fine with it, as long as it's you." Sakura said softly, her movements under the table becoming more noticeable. A few seconds later, Naruto suddenly felt something slide up his leg.

He looked down, only to see a delicate foot in black stockings gently rubbing against his leg.

"Are you insane?" Naruto’s body jolted in shock, nearly causing him to stand up.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

‘Damn, this is a public area. As long as someone in the restaurant walks a little bit from the corridor, they’d easily spot this playful leg teasing me from under the table.’
