章節 60: Chapter 59
Sakura glowered at the both of them, knowing that this was probably coming, but was hoping to avoid it. She understood that they were simply concerned for her well-being, but didn't they know her better than that? Sakura recalled an exercise mission Tsunade had sent her on to practice her skills in the field—the mission involved going to a town that was in a questionable condition and spy on a group of rebels that had been bothering the Feudal Lord of a neighbouring nation. On the excursion, Sakura had run into some trouble with a lecherous old man who had begun to follow her for the better part of an afternoon. Needless to say the man was now short a few teeth and was probably suffering a limp from the broken leg she had given him.
"It was necessary, and I was the one who suggested it," Sakura stated firmly, and would have put her hands on her hips if they were not weighed down by groceries, "I'll be fine you two. Lee, you were on that mission when we had to go to the Red Bean country. Remember that old man?"
"Hai, I do, Sakura-san," Lee nodded at her, "But he was not a shinobi, and I am sure Sasuke will not fall so easily."
"Why is everyone afraid that Sasuke is going to try something on me?" Sakura exclaimed angrily, turning her head heavenwards and rolling her eyes, "I assure that nothing is going to happen. N-o-t-h-i-n-g at ALL."
"Oi, Sakura-chan," Naruto spoke up in concern, "Sasuke may not try anything like that, but I think the bastard may care about you more than he realizes."
Sakura actually laughed at the notion, "Naruto, how would you know if Sasuke likes me any more than he's letting on? Don't you go claiming to be perceptive on Sasuke's feelings if you can't even realize how Hinata feels about you."
Naruto turned and looked at her, running up a little to peer at her curiously, "Eh? How does Hinata-chan feel about me? Oi, Sakura-chan, answer me! How does Hinata feel about me?!"
Sakura just shook her head in amazement at how dense Naruto could be. But then again, maybe there was something to what he was suggesting. Naruto may be dense, but he wasn't stupid. But then it was Sasuke they were talking about—if it had been anyone else, then Sakura may have paid more heed to the fox-faced boy's words.
"I am inclined to agree with Naruto-kun," Lee said concernedly, "While I believe that Sasuke-kun may appear not to show any feelings towards anyone, you must not overlook the fact that he may become more attached to you as time passes. I do not know whether it could be merely friendship or something more, but please be cautious."
"I'll be careful, you two, I promise," Sakura said, shaking her head. She was very skeptical that anything would happen at all, "Just trust me—trust Sasuke; nothing is going to happen."
"If anything happens at all, I will beat Sasuke until all his dead relatives will feel it!" Naruto exclaimed striking a determined pose.
"Hey! Be careful with the groceries!" she scolded, as Naruto grinned sheepishly at her.
She needed little convincing that Naruto would keep his word.
There was a discomforting silence between the three of them before Naruto suddenly exclaimed: "Hold on! What does Hinata-chan think of me?"
