Since traveling together, although KINOMOTO SAKURA is used to the way of communication between them, Sasuke plays the role of listening. Then I know that his silence means refusing to communicate. Faced with such a situation, KINOMOTO SAKURA, who has a lively mind, also feels a little hard. At first, she would search for some topics that Sasuke might be interested in, but there was no feedback from the people in front. After several attempts, KINOMOTO SAKURA finally gave up the monologue code to ease the atmosphere and quietly let Sasuke lead her forward.
The flat and wide road at the foot gradually turned into a narrow road with ups and downs, and the residents along the way were dotted. When they reached the foot of the mountain, they had completely disappeared.
The sun, which was still hanging on the horizon at the time of departure, quickly moved overhead, but the temperature dropped instead of rising. The vegetation in the forest is dense and solid, and you can only see the big trees that cover the sun when you look up.
The search for herbs originally belonged to KINOMOTO SAKURA's professional field, but Sasuke didn't seem to realize it at all, and he still walked ahead as the leader when going up the mountain.
Although as a ninja, you can leap between tall branches, but the shrubs at the bottom are connected in pieces, and you can't distinguish the plants on the ground when you stand high. They can only move forward step by step. Although the road up the mountain is not easy, fortunately, villagers who visit the mountain gods will step out of a formed path every year.
After entering the dense forest, KINOMOTO SAKURA's attention was focused on finding medicinal materials, and she was no longer obsessed with Sasuke's mood, and her body and mind were relaxed. On one occasion, KINOMOTO SAKURA stopped to look at the vegetation in front of her for a while. When she looked back, she found Sasuke who had been indomitable waiting for her.
"Did you find it?"
Sasuke looked at her condescendingly, and his tone of voice was no longer as cold and folded as before.
KINOMOTO SAKURA was a little surprised at Sasuke's active opening and silent waiting. She shook her head blankly.
So the two men looked at each other silently, and Sasuke didn't mean to go back and continue walking.
"KINOMOTO SAKURA, does your illness have anything to do with me?"
Along the way, Sasuke racked his brains to analyze KINOMOTO SAKURA's reasons and abnormal behavior. He can be sure that KINOMOTO SAKURA is alienating himself step by step. He is convinced that KINOMOTO SAKURA's alienation is not due to subjective and emotional disgust. Recalling her expression and tone, Sasuke realized that he had completely ignored KINOMOTO SAKURA's unintentional anxiety and uneasiness. He was very angry with himself, and made everything that happened recently go smoothly at this moment. Obviously, no matter how complicated and intense the situation on the battlefield is, he can calmly analyze the situation and take accurate measures. But he didn't realize the clues related to KINOMOTO SAKURA, and calmed down with a frown to vent his dissatisfaction with himself.
Sasuke's expression fell into KINOMOTO SAKURA's eyes, but it prompted her thinking to diverge completely in the opposite direction.
Sasuke will probably feel that he is a big problem again. KINOMOTO SAKURA felt really useless. Not only can't the disease be cured, but Sasuke is also inexplicably involved.

At first, KINOMOTO SAKURA didn't know that his problem was related to Sasuke. She vaguely remembers that at first, her hands or shoulders would occasionally sting slightly for no reason. After being transferred to chakra for a preliminary examination, she confirmed that she was all right, and the pain was nothing compared with her previous mission or injuries on the battlefield. She simply attributed these discomforts to physical fatigue. After all, they just finished a big task.
That night, she slept with Sasuke, and everything was normal, but KINOMOTO SAKURA was awakened by pain in the middle of the night. It seems that she has just finished strenuous exercise and is sweating all over. Sweaty clothes coldly stuck to her burning skin, and the pain was like being chewed by countless insects from the bones of her limbs. KINOMOTO SAKURA sang helplessly and unprepared. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, stopped the voice in her throat by blocking her mouth, and stopped breathing in time before Sasuke woke up.
KINOMOTO SAKURA sucked the air into his body bit by bit and exhaled it bit by bit. The pain filled her eyes with physical tears. When the pain subsided, KINOMOTO SAKURA let go of his bitten lips and climbed out of Sasuke's arms carefully. She got out of bed, tried to hold her breath, shook her hands to find new clothes from her bag, and then walked into the bathroom with a vain gait.
KINOMOTO SAKURA took off her wet bathrobe and began to examine her body. Except for the scars left by several battles, there is no difference in the skin around the body. KINOMOTO SAKURA started medical patience with a frown and began to diagnose the internal situation of his body, but he still couldn't find any problems. She was puzzled, adjusted her breath and prepared for the next pain, but it was not until the burning sensation in her body dissipated that the terrible pain struck again. KINOMOTO SAKURA couldn't help wondering if what had just happened was a strange nightmare. She tidied up her body, had another general examination, put on clean clothes and walked out of the bathroom.
"What took you so long?"
A familiar melody suddenly sounded in the dark room, and she almost dropped her clothes. KINOMOTO SAKURA touched his chest and asked, "Sasuke, are you awake?"
Sasuke shook his head in the dark and realized that KINOMOTO SAKURA probably couldn't see his movements clearly. Then he responded loudly: "No."
KINOMOTO SAKURA approached slowly, and the pain exhausted her.
"Is it uncomfortable?"
Sasuke obviously felt that something was wrong with KINOMOTO SAKURA. KINOMOTO SAKURA went back to bed and reached out to touch her cheek. The cold temperature made him tremble.
"Why is it so cold?"
"I don't know ... very tired ..."
KINOMOTO SAKURA asked Sasuke to hug himself and lie down. The cold seeping from her insides made her unconsciously hug the person next to her. Fatigue soon threw her into a state of confusion, but when she was not completely asleep, strange pain appeared again.
KINOMOTO SAKURA opened his eyes and bit his lower lip, trying to tighten his trembling body. She didn't know what was wrong with her, and the rust in her mouth spread. When she almost tried her best to deal with it, the pain finally dissipated.
"KINOMOTO SAKURA, how ..."
Hypnotherapy does not need to consume a large number of chakras, but only needs to find suitable acupoints. KINOMOTO SAKURA coaxed Sasuke to sleep before he finished. It's hard for her and Sasuke to get this far. We can't let this relationship go wrong until she knows the situation.
KINOMOTO SAKURA got up again. She sat on the bed and thought hard with what little strength she had left. Tears on the face can't tell whether it is physical pain or mental helplessness.
"What's the matter ..."
KINOMOTO SAKURA buried her face in her knees and sobbed.
As before, the pain disappeared as if it had never existed.
KINOMOTO SAKURA looked up, wiped the tears on her face at random, and looked back at the people on the bed. She really wants to tell Sasuke that there is something wrong with her health. But what will Sasuke do when he finds out? Will she be a burden to Sasuke? Will Sasuke drive himself away?
KINOMOTO SAKURA stretched out his hand to touch Sasuke's face, and at that moment, the pain came violently without warning.
"Uh ..."
KINOMOTO SAKURA suddenly covered his chest, and his body began to sweat again because of the pain.
KINOMOTO SAKURA fell to the ground, bent down and hugged himself. She has no strength to deal with it, so she can only wait helplessly for the pain to dissipate. It was a long time before KINOMOTO SAKURA recovered, got up and stared at the finger from the source of pain-just touching Sasuke's finger. A moment later, she seemed to remember something, stared back at Sasuke with incredible eyes, and then held out her hand again with a white and bloodless complexion. Sure enough, when her finger touched Sasuke again, the pain came as scheduled.
Just like paralyzing herself with pain, KINOMOTO SAKURA tried again and again and never gave up until her throat was full of strong blood smell. She finally believed that this strange pain would break out with her contact with Sasuke.
When Sasuke woke up, he was surprised to find that KINOMOTO SAKURA was no longer around. After getting up, I saw KINOMOTO SAKURA, who was sitting feebly against the window. Sasuke inexplicably read some despair from her heavy shoulder posture. His initial reaction was to wonder if he was dreaming. He shook his head several times, and when he looked at KINOMOTO SAKURA again, she was smiling at herself.
"Good morning, Sasuke."
KINOMOTO SAKURA's voice is as cheerful and brisk as waking up together every morning.
"Good morning, KINOMOTO SAKURA."
That scene just now is really the illusion that I am not fully awake.
But in the next few days, KINOMOTO SAKURA's behavior began to return to the state when they first traveled together.
KINOMOTO SAKURA will ask for a double room. KINOMOTO SAKURA no longer sleeps in his arms, and even lies with his back to him most of the time.
With a sly smile in his puzzled eyes, KINOMOTO SAKURA explained, "I think we should keep a little mystery in front of Sasuke. I like Sasuke so much. What if Sasuke is tired of me? "
Sasuke gave her a headache because she had nowhere to vent her anger. Forget the mystery. Why didn't she consider this when she climbed into her bed for the first time?
For several nights, they both fell asleep back to back and didn't communicate. Just don't know Sasuke KINOMOTO SAKURA often endure severe pain to touch him in the middle of the night, she silly hope those inexplicable pain disappear.
Her illness developed far beyond her expectation. A few days later, she realized that the illness that made her sick was so serious that she would attack as long as she was near Sasuke.
The master's whereabouts were uncertain, and several letters were answered.
KINOMOTO SAKURA also wants Konoha back, but what about Sasuke? Will he go back by himself?
*
KINOMOTO SAKURA nodded with difficulty in Sasuke's attitude as a judge, and she knew it was hard to hide any more.
"When you come near me, you will have an attack, right?"
Sasuke's always cold tone makes KINOMOTO SAKURA feel that what he said can't stir up any waves in his heart, and those grievances that have accumulated for so many days will soon brew into a collapsed mood.
KINOMOTO SAKURA choked up and responded, "Yes ..."
Sasuke's eyebrows are getting closer and closer to the center. He looked at KINOMOTO SAKURA's tearful expression and looked back silently. After a few steps, he said, "I think you'd better go back to Konoha for treatment."
KINOMOTO SAKURA's tears are finally free. He said "you".
"I can find the antidote!"
KINOMOTO SAKURA stubborn wipe away tears, don't let him look down on yourself, don't let him think of himself as trouble.
KINOMOTO SAKURA flashed to Sasuke, suddenly a little disgusted with himself, and followed him like a kannika nimtragol. Because she cared too much about his opinion, she almost lost her always positive and brave character.
*
KINOMOTO SAKURA distinguished the texture of vegetation and soil under the forest in detail, and finally found a clue when they were halfway up the mountain. KINOMOTO SAKURA turned to Sasuke, who kept a careful distance from her, and said, "Sasuke, wait for me here. There should be the medicinal materials I am looking for in the habitat here. I need to go in and have a look. "
Sasuke looked in the direction pointed out by KINOMOTO SAKURA, and the dense forest could not tell what was going on inside.
KINOMOTO SAKURA seemed to see his hesitation, and she added, "I can do it myself."
KINOMOTO SAKURA didn't wait for Sasuke's response. She peeled off a branch much taller than herself and went in. The hope in her heart made her forget all the delicate feelings and troubles. She concentrated on finding detoxified herbs.
After synthesizing her situation, the master only gave a possible guess. Although only KINOMOTO SAKURA showed symptoms, she and Sasuke were probably poisoned by some kind of blood toxin, but the owner didn't know why KINOMOTO SAKURA appeared this toxin when he was near Sasuke. KINOMOTO SAKURA remembered the blood-enriching and detoxicating drugs described in an ancient book a long time ago. Fortunately, they happened to meet a habitat suitable for the growth of this herb during their trip, and KINOMOTO SAKURA insisted on going up the mountain.
Sure enough, when KINOMOTO SAKURA's forehead and back were covered with sweat, she found the medicinal materials with white broken flowers.
"I found it!"
KINOMOTO SAKURA ran near ecstatically, crouched down, stretched out his hand to touch the little leaf, and confirmed it cautiously again.
She carefully packed the picked herbs and reserved several plants for introduction and cultivation.
*
After finding the medicinal materials, KINOMOTO SAKURA felt that the way back was easier than when he came. But when she was close to Sasuke's place, the sharp sound of sword collision came from her ear. KINOMOTO SAKURA a shock in the heart, ran forward. KINOMOTO SAKURA didn't know that the branch with barbed vines across her eyes scratched her arm. The growing smell of blood made her flustered.
When she finally removed the last obstacle in front of her, Sasuke's kneeling figure jumped into her sight.
"Sasuke Jun!"
"Don't come over!"
Sasuke's harsh voice stopped KINOMOTO SAKURA for a moment, and then she saw several bodies lying beside Sasuke, which were smoking and melting.
"Sasuke jun, what's wrong with you! ! "
KINOMOTO SAKURA exclaimed and continued to approach.
"Don't come here! I told you not to come here! ! "
Sasuke growled angrily and gasped violently at the same time.
There was no obvious scar on Sasuke, and KINOMOTO SAKURA generally judged that Sasuke should only be poisoned. Despite Sasuke's strong opposition, she shook hands, took out a pill from her knife bag, swallowed it without hesitation and jumped behind Sasuke.
Haruno Sakura! '
Kenu Sasuke gritted his teeth and shouted her name.
"I don't care, Sasuke Jun."
KINOMOTO SAKURA said quietly, his hands lit up with green light, and the warm chakras slowly flowed into Sasuke's blood vessels.
Sasuke's shortness of breath gradually subsided, but fortunately, the other party only used nerve paralysis drugs. After KINOMOTO SAKURA's treatment, Sasuke recovered his mobility.
"KINOMOTO SAKURA is ok. You stay away from me. "
"Well ..."
KINOMOTO SAKURA feebly responded, kneeling on the ground.
"KINOMOTO SAKURA? ! "
Sasuke turned around eagerly, but what he saw was far beyond his expectation and endurance.
KINOMOTO SAKURA's body was covered with scarlet blood. He seemed to be drenched with biting ice water, and his body could not move like a lost soul until KINOMOTO SAKURA fell on him.
"KINOMOTO SAKURA! ! "
