Chapter 282 The Illusion of Being Surrounded by Him

"that is……"

Yamanaka Ino said slowly while looking at the sky.

"You have known each other since childhood, and you are both smart and calm. You look especially good together."

Haruko's misunderstanding from the morning had not been resolved yet. She thought that Nara Shikamaru had always had a crush on Yamanaka Ino.

Hearing what Yamanaka Ino said, Haruko Zaoma couldn't help but feel happy for Nara Shikamaru, and sincerely congratulated him on finally winning over Yamanaka Ino's heart after years of silent companionship.

There was a smile in Haruko's words in the morning, which made her attitude clear.

"Shikamaru and I probably don't have this idea."

No, he does.

Yamanaka Ino refuted her in her heart.

"What about Ino? Do you have someone you like?" Haruko asked in the morning on behalf of Nara Shikamaru.

Facing Haruko's expectant gaze in the morning, Yamanaka Ino's dense eyelashes trembled unconsciously.

She stammered, "...No."

Facing Haruko's eyes sparkling with stars in the morning, Yamanaka Ino always felt an indescribable excitement and impulse, wanting to open up her heart and confess something to her.

But she didn't know what she wanted to say, and in the end she just moved closer.

"It's a bit cold, I want to be close to you."

"Okay, come a little closer."

Yamanaka Ino could feel the hot breath she exhaled, which made her heart feel warm for no reason.

"Haruko, we are best friends, right?"

"Of course, no matter what choice Ino makes, I will support you."

"…Thank you, Haruko."

The secret and confused girl's thoughts came to an end with the definition of "best friend".

The one keeping watch was Asuma Sarutobi, who stood under a tree with his hands in his pockets, leaning against it.

Because of his anxiety, the lollipop in his mouth was crunching. This was his eleventh lollipop of the day.

Every one of them before was chewed and chewed by him as if he was venting his emotions.

Xi Ri Hong accompanied him, sitting on the thick tree trunk, looking up at the bright moon.

She opened her red lips slightly and murmured silently: Best friend...

Uchiha Haruko and she had never been close friends.

In their war-torn period, teammates were their mission to stand shoulder to shoulder, share weal and woe, and never leave them.

But above being teammates, the deeper and stronger relationship is friendship.

Uchiha Haruko is her friend.

Yuhi Kurenai's sad eyes turned to Zaoma Haruko who had closed her eyes and was fast asleep.

"Asuma..."

Hearing her call, Sarutobi Asuma hummed softly and his eyes drifted towards the black-haired girl whose profile he could only see slightly.

Be it the long black hair or the delicate and pretty face, she looks exactly like Uchiha Haruko.

Compared to Uchiha Haruko's silent disappearance, their sealed and forgotten memories are more confusing.

They will never forget Uchiha Haruko.

Their memories could only have been sealed intentionally, and Haruko Hayami, who served as the key to open this door, was undoubtedly special.

Click.

The candy in his mouth completely shattered into pieces, and Sarutobi Asuma took out the white stick that was in his mouth and twisted it between his fingertips.

In the past, he often visited a grocery store in the Uchiha territory, and the candies there were the ones he was most familiar with.

Later, the store closed down, and he could no longer buy the candies he was used to.

So he became less picky. When smoking became popular among his peers, he was the only one who stood out from the crowd and always held a lollipop in his mouth, which made many of his friends laugh at him.

Thinking about it now, it made him feel pathetic for no reason.

I can only miss her in this unconscious way.

Asuma Sarutobi suppressed the emotions in his eyes and remained silent.

The incompatible snoring sound grew louder. Kurenai and Asuma Sarutobi looked in the direction and saw Might Guy snoring with his mouth open in a strange sleeping posture.

Yuhi Kurenai & Sarutobi Asuma: ...

It's really a heartless and hot-blooded tights.

……

The next day, when they were halfway through their journey, they happened to meet Temari who was returning to the village.

When Temari learned about the situation in Sand Village from them, she couldn't hide her urgency on her face and immediately followed them to the Sand Village.

Looking at the red glow rising in the sky, Nohara Lin thought that they were traveling quite fast, so she gave up her rest time and rushed forward.

Finally, before night fell, she caught a glimpse of a light not far ahead.

Sensing someone approaching, Sarutobi Asuma's eyes narrowed and he took out a kunai and placed it across his chest.

"Who?"

Nohara Lin jumped down from the tree and smiled at him for the first time in a long time, "It's me, Asuma."

"Lin?!"

Nohara Rin thought Asuma Sarutobi would be surprised, but she didn't expect his reaction to be mixed with fear and helplessness.

Asuma Sarutobi hid his expression with a frown, "When did you come back?"

"Yesterday, I went with you to Sunagakure to provide medical assistance in place of Master."

After explaining, Nohara Lin couldn't help but ask, "You don't seem to want to see me?"

"No, it's just...just..." Asuma Sarutobi hesitated for a long time and couldn't give a legitimate reason.

Xihi Kurenai hurried forward, interrupted their conversation, and introduced her to the students present.

Hyuga Hinata and Tenten went to fetch water, while Morning Haruko went to look for firewood with Inuzuka Kiba.

Therefore, Nohara Lin did not immediately see the senior sister who surprised her.

"Why is Akamaru getting further and further away?"

In the morning, Haruko looked back at where they were stationed and had walked for quite some distance.

Inuzuka Kiba put his hands behind his head and said nonchalantly: "Anyway, I can take you back, so what's there to be afraid of."

As if agreeing with his words, Akamaru, who had lowered his head to smell the air, raised his head and let out a howl.

"Well, I shouldn't have questioned you. I'm sorry Akamaru."

Seeing Haruko apologize to Akamaru in a gentle voice in the morning, and Akamaru whining with a happy look on his face, Inuzuka Kiba simply couldn't stand its cheap look.

"Hey, why don't you seem so happy to be with me?" Inuzuka Kiba muttered unhappily.

Akamaru, knowing his master's temper well, simply pretended not to hear and sniffed the scent carefully.

"..."

Inuzuka Kiba opened his mouth and wrinkled his nose, giving off a sense of wolf-like anger.

Fortunately, it was dark, so Haruko didn't have to worry about him noticing her raised lips in the morning.

A cold wind blew by, and Haruko couldn't help shivering in the morning.

She murmured, "Is it because we're close to Sunagakure? The temperature difference between day and night is quite large."

Inuzuka Kiba glanced at her, then turned his eyes forward without answering, still following Akamaru with his hands under his head.

Thinking that he was annoyed by her noise, Haruko fell silent and walked quietly in front of him on his right.

After a while, Inuzuka Kiba suddenly stopped.

In the morning, Haruko only heard the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other behind her. Before she turned around, a large and warm coat covered her body.

The extremely aggressive aura belonging to Inuzuka Kiba surrounded her, making Haruko Asako feel as if she was surrounded by him.

The boy pressed the hood of the coat together and covered her head with it.

In the morning, Haruko vaguely felt the hand stroking her head for a few times before it was withdrawn.

The hood with plush edges was too big and completely covered Haruko Asako's eyes. She hurriedly lifted the hood to look at him.

"tooth?"

Hey cuties, here's an announcement!

Because of the urgency of the notification, I will use homophones or pinyin to avoid detection.

Recently, it broke out that fan, qie secretly added a (hereinafter referred to as hey)i kuan in the authors' Kappa, put the novel into hey production, and completely Qin Fan's creation.

(For detailed information, you can search on major video software)

Under pressure from the authors, although the translation and editing companies have proposed to find ways to overcome the restrictions, many authors have reported that they will be given a hard time or even have their novels discounted for various improper reasons. Moreover, even if the restrictions are lifted, we don’t know whether the investment has really not been made.

This matter has been going on for a while. I originally planned to include the Akatsuki organization and the Warring States line, but I dare not write it. After all, it is a homosexual theme. If the translator is interested, the book might be sued.

And Kappa stipulates that the prequel, sequel, and extra chapters of this book are all translated and copied by Banquan, so I cannot continue writing on other platforms.

In order to give my little cuties a good explanation, I will try my best to finish this book in July. Some authors proposed to stop publishing in August to resist, and the book will be on the shelves in October.

So I won't write any more books here.

If it is written in such a rush, there will definitely be many loopholes and interruptions in the emotional lines. For example, Akatsuki and Sengoku will definitely not be written about.

I can only focus on writing about the Twelve Periods, the Three Ninjas, and the Obito Period. I hope my little cuties will understand.

When an author reports a notification, Fanqie will simply reject it or block it so that readers cannot see it. I also don't know how long this notification placed in the main text will last.

I hope you guys won’t leave any slang words in your comments, like the ones I wrote above, they will be detected, you can use pinyin instead (?w?)

All creations are the children of their authors, and no author wants his or her children to become clones.
