"You're amazing, I'm useless, okay!"
Suddenly, Sakura shouted and forcefully pushed Ino away, then ran off.
Ino, not expecting Sakura to react so strongly, accidentally fell to the ground, scattering everything she was holding.
"Damn it, what is that broad-forehead going crazy about?"
Getting up from the ground, Ino was very angry and immediately began to inspect her new clothes.
Then she noticed that her newly bought clothes were not only dirty but also torn, which made her heartbroken!
On the other hand, a scrape on her leg only made her frown slightly.
She subconsciously prepared to go find that broad-forehead to settle the score!
However, she hesitated and stopped after only two steps.
Because when Sakura pushed her away and ran, she seemed to be… crying?
Could it be that what she said earlier was too much?
"Forget it, I'm in a good mood today, so I won't stoop to the level of that broad-forehead."
Ino took a deep breath and began to pick up the things on the ground.
Among them was a brand new pink hairband, which she had haggled for a long time to buy for over ten thousand Ryo.
Gradually, night fell.
In the training ground, a petite figure was still sweating, not having gone home.
Five shuriken were thrown at two targets. Three of them hit the bullseye, one missed, and another completely missed the target.
Sakura gritted her teeth and reached for her ninja tool pouch again, only to find it empty.
Her body swayed slightly, and she let herself fall backward onto the grass.
"Practicing shuriken at night is not a good idea, unless you also have a bloodline limit like the Sharingan, which can greatly mitigate the negative effects of the night."
At this moment, a figure approached and spoke.
Sakura, using the moonlight, clearly saw the person approaching and was very surprised.
"Sasuke? Why are you here?"
The moody, cool, and aloof young man threw the item in his hand over and said, "Ino found me and said you haven't been home all day and she was worried something might have happened, so she asked me to find you. I looked in a few places you might usually go but couldn't find you, so I guessed you might be hiding here."
Ino…
Hearing this name, Sakura froze for a moment, then fumbled to catch the item Sasuke threw over. It was a beautiful pink hairband?
Could this be a sign of a miracle?
Sasuke-kun was finally accepting my feelings!
Sakura's face instantly turned red.
Sasuke saw that she had misunderstood and immediately explained, "This is also something Ino asked me to give you. She said she might have said something excessive during the day, but she didn't mean it… Anyway, that's about it. I'm leaving."
"Eh? You're leaving already?"
Sasuke turned to leave decisively, but just before he disappeared, he said, "That ninja tool bag is too flashy. It's more for show than practicality, so I didn't take it."
"Huh? What ninja…"
Sakura suddenly remembered that Ino had mentioned giving Sasuke a ninja tool bag.
Now, hearing Sasuke refuse, she felt quite happy.
Especially when she started fantasizing, like why would Sasuke specifically tell her this? Was he hinting at something?
Unfortunately, at her current level, she couldn't figure things out.
"Hoo…"
Sakura let out a long sigh and looked at the hairband in her hand. She suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a note hidden inside.
She opened it and saw it was in Ino's handwriting.
"Hey, crybaby. Sasuke-kun has accepted my feelings, so you should just give up."
"As the winner, consider this hairband compensation."
"Don't misunderstand, I didn't buy this specifically for you. I just happened to find one on the road."
Hmph!
Sasuke didn't accept your gift at all!
"You stubborn person, how can you just find something so expensive on the road?"
Sakura muttered, but a smile reappeared on her face.
Although Ino hadn't formally apologized, she understood her intentions and naturally wasn't angry anymore.
"Hmm? There's more?"
Just as Sakura was about to get up and leave, she noticed that something was also written on the back of the note.
"Also, what I said today about earning 200,000 Ryo is true. If you want to know the details, you can go to this address and see."
Sakura noted down the address and pondered.
...
The next day.
Naruto, after hastily finishing his morning routine, started getting dressed. He rushed out of his house without even having time to drink his expired milk.
"This is the first time Sakura has asked me out. I absolutely cannot be late!"
With this thought in mind, he started sprinting.
The story began last night. He was about to go to sleep when Sakura came to find him, asking if he was busy tomorrow and if he could accompany her somewhere.
Naruto's spirits immediately soared upon hearing this!
If you're going to tell me this, then I'm not sleepy anymore.
So they agreed to go out together tomorrow.
After Sakura left, Naruto couldn't sleep. Lying in bed, his mind was filled with images of their 'date' tomorrow, even fantasizing about some heart-pounding scenes.
And then… He was woken up by the alarm clock.
To be precise, he woke up after the alarm clock had rung for who knows how many times.
"Damn Naruto, how dare you stand me up!"
Young Sakura, wearing a beautiful pink hairband, stood on the street, exuding a terrifying aura that warned people away, causing passersby to avoid her vicinity.
She had thoughts about the address Ino had told her. Since Ino could earn 200,000 Ryo there, there was no reason why she couldn't.
However, going to an unfamiliar place alone made her a bit nervous and hesitant, so she thought of bringing Naruto along.
As for why she didn't look for Sasuke… That was naturally to give Sasuke-kun a surprise!
Sakura also planned to use the money she earned to buy Sasuke a gift, and a simple, practical one at that. She believed Sasuke would definitely like it!
Just as Sakura was fantasizing about them having their second child, Naruto, rushing with all his might, finally arrived at the meeting point, panting.
"Naru-!
"I-I'm sorry, Sakura, I-I'm late."
Sakura clenched her fists, then released them, clenched them again, then released them, clenched them again…
"Forget it, let's go quickly."
Naruto, having narrowly escaped, gave a silly grin. "Where are we going?"
For today's date, Naruto had even smashed his beloved piggy bank yesterday and brought all his savings.
Sakura naturally didn't know this, and she was still a bit angry, so she ignored Naruto and walked ahead on her own.
