The cool spring breeze gently brushed against her cheeks as she ran. Her tears had already been wiped clean.
"Ah, it's Xiao Ying!"
"Wait, don't run so fast…"
It sounded like Ino's voice.
Haruno Sakura thought so, but she did not stop.
Because once she stopped, her tears might not stop, right? As a man, it was really awkward for the little loli to see him like that.
How did she become so fragile?
Become a woman? Increase in female hormones? Emotional thinking? So, you're getting sentimental, right?
It should be like this.
Five hours of jogging and 300 squats.
After he was exhausted, his head was empty.
Haruno Sakura licked her lips. She was dehydrated and cracked. However, this was not a big deal. She wanted to see today's data more.
The increase of 0.6% increased the amount and time of training, but the progress did not increase much. It was within expectations.
The further he went, the slower he unlocked it.
It was completely understandable.
She didn't ask for much. As a commoner, this was already a very good cheat.
Her feet started to hurt again.
It seemed that the blisters had burst a little. Should he go home and disinfect them?
Haruno Sakura wiped the sweat off her forehead and walked toward her home. The scenery kept changing.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"Hey, hey, hey! The one with pink hair in front!"
"Stop…Pink Head!"
Hmm?
Haruno Sakura was stunned. She looked around and saw no pink hair. She suddenly remembered that she had pink hair, right? Why was he so rude to her?
She turned around and saw a man with short blond hair and a fox-like beard running in her direction.
Who else could it be? It must be Naruto Uzumaki.
" What's going on?" Haruno Sakura asked.
"Why are you looking for me?"
Naruto Uzumaki braked and stopped in front of her. He placed his hands on his knees and panted heavily.
"You…you said that you would tell me your name the next time we meet!”
Haruno Sakura was stunned. She had almost forgotten what she had done that day…
When Uzumaki Naruto saw that Haruno Sakura in front of him did not move, and the passersby around him intentionally or unintentionally avoided him, he began to worry." Iruka said that a man must keep his word!”
"Why are you in such a hurry just for a name? Alright, my name is Haruno Sakura."
Haruno Sakura reached out her hand.
Naruto Uzumaki was at a loss at first, but then he remembered the meaning of this action. His eyes lit up and he chuckled. No one had ever taken the initiative to reach out to him. Even if they did, their hands were either mud or stones.
"That, that…"
He rubbed his hands and wiped them on his clothes. Suddenly, he regretted not washing his hands properly when he went out today.
She just lowered her head and watched as his hands turned darker and darker. His face was extremely stiff. It seemed that he hadn't washed his hands for a long time, not just today. He hadn't washed his clothes either. Spring clothes weren't thin, and it was very difficult for him to wash them alone.
"Don't you want to shake hands?" Haruno Sakura recalled that this kind of handshake was usually done by adults on occasions where they knew each other. No wonder Uzumaki Naruto had been rubbing for so long. He probably didn't know what to do.
She was slightly stunned and retracted her hand." I'm sorry.”
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Naruto Uzumaki became anxious. Was it because he had been rubbing for too long?
"What's wrong? Naruto?" Haruno Sakura was a little dumbfounded. She really didn't understand the thoughts of a five-year-old kid.
With a red face, Uzumaki Naruto placed his hands behind his back and was about to introduce himself when he suddenly realized that something was wrong." How do you know my name?”
Haruno Sakura was stunned. You're the main character, who doesn't know you?
She coughed." I think everyone in the village knows your name, right?”
" I see..." Upon hearing the answer, Uzumaki Naruto's expression darkened slightly. Perhaps everyone in the village knew his real name, but only a few people were willing to call him by his name. Most of them were " monster,"" scourge,"" demon fox,"" bastard," and so on. Even so, he would rush up and beat him up every time, but he was beaten up badly.
However, when he thought of this, he felt very happy.
"Other than Grandpa Naruto and Iruka, you are the first person to call my name.”
Naruto Uzumaki hesitated for a moment.
"It's just…"
"Um…that…you called me Naruto just now, so can I call you Sakura too?”
he asked in a low voice, his voice growing softer and softer.
If the two parties addressed each other by name, it meant that the relationship between the two people was relatively close, and they were practically friends by default.
Although no article had ever written this, it had already become one of the unspoken rules.
Calling by name was the privilege of friends.
Haruno Sakura thought about it for a moment. It didn't seem like she would suffer any losses. She would definitely not suffer any losses if she was on good terms with Uzumaki Naruto. At most, there would be some rumors.
However, compared to Naruto's talent and the importance of the third generation Naruto, what were those?
At the moment, her talent and strength were not enough to attract the attention of the higher-ups of Kanye, but what if she was Naruto's friend? It should be able to get her into the eyes of the higher-ups, right?
"Whatever. A name is just a code name.”
"There's no need to be so conflicted."
"Really?" Naruto Uzumaki jumped up happily. The third generation Naruto couldn't just call him by his name, and Iruka wasn't in the village every day.
Seeing that Naruto Uzumaki was twisting her tongue, she whispered,"”
Haruno Sakura felt a little awkward and guilty.
"Oh right, Sakura, are you going to the Ninja School too?”Naruto Uzumaki suddenly asked, his expression unprecedentedly solemn.
Haruno Sakura nodded.
Suddenly, there was a series of gurgling sounds.
Uzumaki Naruto clutched his stomach awkwardly. He had just thought of such a cool topic, but in the end…his face was red.
Haruno Sakura was a little stunned. Was this the strength of a human pillar or was it because she was the reincarnation of an immortal? Was his digestive ability that strong?
She looked at the sky. The sun was hanging high in the sky. It was almost noon.
It should be time to go home for lunch.
However, she no longer had a home.
The hospital would not need her help either…
"How about this? I'll treat you to ramen. I know a ramen shop that's especially delicious.”
It could also be considered a form of compensation for Naruto, right?
Haruno Sakura led Uzumaki Naruto to the entrance of Ichiro Ramen.
Anyone who had seen Naruto would know about Ichiraku Ramen. If one did not know about Ichiraku Ramen, it would be the same as not knowing about Naruto Uzumaki.
A year ago, she had come to Yile Ramen to check out the place. She wanted to see how delicious the ramen were, even though her mother had rejected her on the grounds that children should not eat such greasy places.
"This is the place."
There was a small shop about ten meters ahead with the words " Yile Ramen " written on it. The shop could not be seen clearly because the blue curtain blocked half of the view. From the exposed part, it was a bar counter and a row of chairs.
Be it the decoration or the name, it was just an ordinary ramen shop.
Haruno Sakura walked forward, lifted the curtain, and glanced at the menu that was hung up. Just as she thought, it was very cheap. The most expensive one was only 450 yuan. It was more common to see ramen that cost 200 to 300 yuan per bowl.
"Little girl, are you here to eat ramen with your parents?”The young man at the bar counter shouted. He still had a slight impression of the little girl in front of him. It was a year ago when she asked for ramen. Then, her mother carried her by the back of her neck and walked out. Her father had been carefully chasing after her to save her daughter while apologizing to him. They looked like a happy and harmonious family.
"They will come later."
Haruno Sakura looked at the boss, who was smiling at the bar counter with narrowed eyes. Compared to the face in the anime, the face of an ordinary young man was missing two strands of beard. He looked younger, about 28 or 29 years old.
She looked at the menu and chose the most expensive one. She said," Boss, give me two bowls of extra large pork bone ramen!”
"…Can a little girl like you finish two bowls?”The boss 'eyebrows twitched. He gestured to the area near his cheek." The extra-large bowl is bigger than my face.”
Alone?
Haruno Sakura looked to the side. F * ck, she actually lost Naruto!
"No, I was going to treat my friend to ramen, but he didn't seem to be following me. Besides, that guy has a huge appetite…"
Haruno Sakura touched her head. The reason why Uzumaki Naruto did not follow was because of this.
She could roughly guess what it was.
In the plot, it was only after Naruto Uzumaki went to school that Iruka treated Naruto to ramen. In other words, Naruto probably thought that this shop was the same as other shops.
However, it was still uncertain whether the seemingly friendly boss was the same as in the original novel.
"I'll call him over later..." Haruno Sakura thought for a moment and said,"Boss, can you give me more ingredients?" Of course, I'll pay double, but I can't say that I asked the boss to increase the price.”
The boss was a little confused, but when he saw Haruno Sakura put her palms together, he reluctantly agreed.
