The white clouds are long and endless.

The sky in the afternoon is always so endless, so blue that it's even a little bright. It's easy to get dizzy if you look up without preparation.

Although the shade of the trees in early summer has not yet been completely occupied by the noisy chirping of cicadas, there is already a faint feeling of heat.

The combination of warm sun and Xifeng seems to have some kind of magical power, which makes people fall into it unconsciously and become unable to extricate themselves.

Zuozi sat on a bench by the roadside with one hand on his chin, eyes slightly closed, quietly enjoying the long-lost sunbathing.

June is the time when hydrangeas bloom, but along with it comes the annoying rainy season.

In recent weeks, the clouds have been lingering and the air is so humid that it is difficult to dry clothes, making it very inconvenient to do anything.

Huh~ I really hope there will be more sunny days in the future...

The girl yawned lightly.

The corners of her lips were raised slightly, and as she looked at the pedestrians in front of her who were forced to fall into the quagmire of laziness, she quietly came up with the idea of taking a nap.

After this period of life, Sako was surprised to find... It turns out that Konoha does not reject her as much as she imagined.

There were no rumors among the people, and there was no cold shoulder. Both high-level officials and civilians showed an unexpected acceptance.

Especially the contemporaries who had been in the same classroom for a short time before leaving the village were extremely enthusiastic towards Zuo Zi. The girls would invite her to go shopping with her every three days.

As long as it is a party, you will definitely receive an invitation and you will never be excluded.

Ino and Tenten often subconsciously hold Sako's arms, and in the eyes of passers-by, they behave as if they are best friends who talk about everything.

They say the best way to deal with a tsundere is to confront them head on, and this is absolutely true.

Faced with this sudden enthusiasm, Zuo Zi, who had long been accustomed to loneliness, was helpless.

Although the character formed over the years will not be easily reversed, with everyone's persistence and tolerance, she has indeed undergone visible changes.

His expression was no longer as cold as an iceberg, and warmth gradually appeared between his brows.

Compared to before, Zuo Zi smiled significantly more often.

The girl originally thought that an abandoned child like herself who was forgotten by fate could only huddle in a corner and secretly peek at the common happiness of others.

But he never thought that the light would hit him so unexpectedly.

Logically speaking, there is no way she would be forgiven as a traitor.

The only explanation is that everyone was influenced by a certain ninja hero.

However, none of this matters.

After all, no matter what the reason is, it is enough for them to accept themselves openly.

……………………

"Hey, isn't this Zuo Zi? I didn't expect to meet you here"

"Um, Shikamaru? ?"

The familiar lazy tone interrupted his thoughts. Sako stood up slowly and followed the trajectory to look at the source of the sound.

The first thing that caught his eye was naturally the distinctive upturned braid.

Shikamaru took out his pocket with one hand. His iconic dead fish eyes still showed no energy at all, and his eyes were full of fatigue, as if he would fall to the ground in the next second.

Behind him were Neji in plain clothes and an excited Xiao Li.

"Haha, what a coincidence……"

Shikamaru weakly raised his hand as a greeting.

"By the way, why isn't that idiot with you?"

"Naruto is still studying with Mr. Iruka, and he probably won't be able to go home until evening... I went out for a walk to get some fresh air because I was bored."

Zaozi took his time and tucked a few strands of his too-long hair behind his ears.

"And you? Don’t you need to go to Kaka...the Sixth Generation to help you process the documents today? ?"

"I took a short vacation for a week"

"Feeling tired and want to take a rest? ?"

"No...it's because Mr. Kurenai is about to give birth recently, and there is a shortage of manpower there. I have to go to the hospital with Ino Choji and the others to help take care of her."

"That’s it…what about you?"

"We went to do rehabilitation training with Teacher Kai. There is also………"

His eyes seemed to be dodging intentionally or unintentionally.

With a slightly red face, Neji played with the pure black hair that was not inferior to Sako's in a serious manner, but his words were inexplicably evasive.

"By the way... a date by the way"

"Dating? ? ?"

The beautiful eyes opened slightly.

Hearing this, Sako showed a rare expression of surprise.

Shikamaru, who had already mastered the script next to him, shrugged expressionlessly, indicating that everything was expected.

"As for that surprise? These two people had a showdown to clarify their relationship as early as the end of the Fourth World War. It can be said that... Nowadays, except for those who secretly have underground relationships without telling everyone, Neji and Xiao Li are the only lovers in our class."

"Yeah? I didn't pay much attention to this aspect.………"

Zuo Zi only felt the corner of his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

"Um... Is it a little too late to congratulate you now?"

Ningji:……

"Not too late, not too late!!( ﹡ˆoˆ﹡ ), Sako, you and Naruto have to work hard too!!!"

Xiao Li, who didn't care about the situation at all, just giggled and took the girl in his arms.

Neji, on the other hand, had no intention of resisting at all, and allowed her to grab his hand and show off.

The two people's unscrupulous show of affection made the air full of love. There was a faint sour smell.

In this regard, Shikamaru, who had never experienced the taste of love, felt helpless... Love is really an incomprehensible thing. Who would have thought that the arrogant and famous genius would one day be caught. What about conquest?

If it were two years ago, I would never believe that Neji would show such a girlish and shy expression.

Perhaps because he didn't want to torture his eyes anymore, Shikamaru, who had completely become a complaining machine, turned slightly and successfully changed the topic.

"Yes, Xiao Li is right, Sako...you and Naruto also need to hurry up. How, where is the progress now?"

"Do not make jokes……"

Afraid of being misunderstood, Zuo Zi quickly waved his hands to deny it.

"He and I are just friends"

"hehe……"

Tsk, I believe you as a ghost... Not only is Naruto slow, but the Uchiha family's emotional intelligence is also so bad.

We all live in the same room and are still friends... I wonder which pair of friends are as ambiguous as you?

There is no pure friendship between men and women!

Even if there is, you two are definitely not!!

Classmates, it’s okay to lie to others, but don’t lie to yourself too!!!

Is it so difficult to admit it openly? Can you die if you confess once?!!

You have to wait until the child is born before announcing your relationship, right? ? ?

Shikamaru felt an unprecedented physical and mental exhaustion.

The scandal about Uchiha Sako and Uzumaki Naruto has long been spread in Konoha, and has even become a household name.

I'm afraid they are the only two parties involved who are still in the dark.

Shikamaru really couldn't figure out why these two ancestors refused to pierce through the transparent window paper when it was so close.

Could it be that...strength and emotional intelligence are really inversely proportional? ? ?

Alas, there is no way... It seems that I can no longer sit back and watch, I have to give a little spark to add fuel to the flames.

Otherwise, if you want those two idiots with negative emotional intelligence to enlighten themselves, you will have to wait until the end of time.………

Although Shikamaru, who was always afraid of trouble, was reluctant to wade into troubled waters, for the sake of his friend's happiness for the rest of his life, he still decided to take action.

And, be sure to kill it with one blow

"���Ahem... By the way, I heard that the Kazekage-sama is coming to Konoha again the day after tomorrow."

"You mean Gaara?"

Zaozi Liu frowned slightly.

"Didn't she just visit three days ago? Why is it coming again so soon? Isn't it a bit too frequent? ?"

"Who knows? However, I think her trip may not be just for the meeting~~"

"What's the meaning?"

The girl who was keenly aware of the other party's words instantly put on a solemn look.

And this is what Shikamaru wants.

"It is said that Gaara specially named the hero of the ninja world this time - that is, Naruto to accompany her to visit Konoha."

"What?!!Σ(ŎдŎ|||)"

"Not only that……"

Seeing that the provocation method was working, Shikamaru, who had a good plan, continued to lower his voice and said:

"The most important thing is: the two of them were alone the whole time~~It’s hard to believe that Kazekage-sama doesn’t have ulterior motives~~~"

"Σ(゚∀゚ノ)ノ……"

"Okay, it's getting late, Choji is still waiting for me to change my shift... Then Sako, let's see you later."

His eyes were as indifferent as a chess player strategizing and finishing the chess game. Shikamaru's lips slowly raised a smile of control.

He didn't give the other party a chance to ask questions at all. Before he finished speaking, he pulled Ning's face full of confusion. Zuo Zi and Xiao Li left the scene, which was a perfect example of what it meant to"keep your work and fame hidden".

Until the three people's backs completely disappeared from sight, Zuo Zi still stared blankly. There was no sign of a feeling of emptiness in the sky. After being stagnant for a while, the girl clenched her fists again, her expression as if she had made some kind of determination, and then she raised her head. There was a flicker of fear in his pupils for no apparent reason, just like a wild cat guarding its food.
