Naruto: Listen to the bow sound, resounding throughout the ninja world

The three of them came in, but did not go to the living room. Instead, they sat around the stone table in the yard.

Seeing this, July brewed a pot of tea and brought out a lot of snacks and placed them in the middle of the table.

The way to entertain guests is to provide food and drinks.

The most important thing is that she was busy with maintenance in the afternoon and didn't eat at all.

She was a little hungry, so she could only eat some snacks to fill her stomach.

After sitting down, July looked at the three depressed people in front of him.

"Don't sit here like a mute. Tell me what you want from me so late at night?"

She could guess why Sakura and Naruto came to see her.

But she was a little unsure about Shikamaru.

According to common sense, Naruto should have lost his patience at this point and would have been the first to speak out.

But now he looks like a melancholy prince.

He just kept his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

As for Sakura, she was also hesitant and looked like she wanted to say something.

The only normal person at the table was Shikamaru.

Nanyue looked at Shikamaru, and Shikamaru looked around and found that no one wanted to speak first.

There is no other way but to say it myself first.

"Qiyue, can I also participate in this Tiandi Bridge mission?"

Huh? Nana was visibly stunned when she heard what Shikamaru said.

The mission this time was just to get information about Orochimaru's location from the planted spy.

Then plan what to do next, although July expected that this mission might not be easy.

But why did Shikamaru volunteer to participate in this mission?

Could it be that there was some kind of hatred between him and Orochimaru that she didn't know about?

When talking to a smart person, you don’t need to ask so many questions, as the other person will be able to understand what you mean.

"The mission to bring back Sasuke was the first mission I led after being promoted to Chunin."

"But because of my mistake, my companions were almost in life and death danger."

"This time, I won't allow myself to fail again, even though I am a person who is very afraid of trouble."

"But some things are better to start from the beginning and end."

It seems that Shikamaru still has a thorn in his heart about that mission.

The goal of that mission was to bring back Sasuke, but you said you didn't bring him back, so that's fine.

He even nearly lost the lives of his fellow villagers.

Even someone with Shikamaru's personality would have his self-esteem hurt.

It’s only natural that I can’t let go now.

After listening to Shikamaru's explanation, July looked at Sakura this time.

Sakura finally couldn't stand the stare anymore and finally chose to speak.

"July, first of all, thank you for allowing me to participate in this mission."

"Kakashi-sensei has already told me the specific situation."

"We might run into Sasuke on this mission."

"Don't worry if you laugh at me, I have always liked Sasuke since I was a child."

"When I heard he had defected, my heart was broken."

"I dream about bringing Sasuke back every moment."

“But I know that I am not capable enough to fulfill this dream.”

"July, you are the smartest and strongest one in our class."

"If there is anyone who can defeat Sasuke now and bring him back."

"That person is undoubtedly you, July. I have a request here."

"I'll give you my entire future life as a condition, as long as you can bring Sasuke back."

"I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will never complain."

As she said that, Sakura suddenly stood up and bowed to July.

And he kept bending over, with no intention of getting up.

Sakura's familiar words entered Naruto's ears.

A lifetime request, what familiar words.

Sakura had said the same thing to me before, crying.

Haha, then what about the promise you made to me before?

At this moment, Sakura's filter in Naruto's heart was completely shattered.

Yes, he was also a loser. He did not bring Sasuke back as agreed.

Why should I expect Sakura to do anything for me?

Thinking of this, Naruto stood up.

"It's very late. I won't bother you anymore. I have to go back and pack my things."

After saying this, he didn't care about Shikamaru and Sakura and walked away in a daze like a zombie.

Shikamaru stood up worriedly and wanted to stop it, but when he saw Nanyue's gesture, he immediately gave up the idea.

"Sakura, lift your head up."

"I don't need any conditions or promises from you. Bringing Sasuke back is my own business."

"It has nothing to do with you, it has nothing to do with Naruto, it has nothing to do with anyone."

"If there's nothing else, you can go back first."

"You have to get up very early tomorrow, so get some rest."

After saying that, July chased Naruto out.

Sakura looked up, her eyes already wet with tears.

She understood what July meant by those words, but the outcome was still good.

At least July also wants to bring Sasuke back. As long as Sasuke can come back, nothing else matters.

Sakura left, but Shikamaru still sat there calmly.

There was no intention of leaving, as if this place was his home.

July followed Naruto's footsteps and came to the Hokage Rock behind the village.

Naruto lay on the head of the Fourth Hokage, Iwao, and stared at the sky full of stars in a trance.
