- A lakeside near the research facility, the married couple continues their mission -
With a smile on his face he looks at her side profile, her eyes shine brightly like that of a child’s.
“I also want to show Sarada this scenery.”
“Yes, recently that child has a sudden interest in the universe, she even went to the science exhibition with Ino at the university. Though she keeps reading information on the moon and stars.”
Sasuke holds Sakura’s hand, her fingertips had turned ice cold from the surrounding air and he felt that her fingers were much slimmer from memory. There must be many moments missed due to being apart.
Even if there is no ring, nor can they be together everyday, Sakura is his wife and that is something which will never change. Back then, close friends used to tell him that the most important thing are bonds. No matter how far apart he is from Sakura, they will always be tightly connected. Even if they can not see each other, she is an irreplaceable partner.
Sasuke begins speaking awkwardly.
“Do you want a ring? Not the kind made from chakra, after returning to the village…..a normal ring.”
Words were getting mixed and becoming illogical, but Sakura understood what he meant.
“Hmmm.” she ponders deeply.
“I want one…..but rings are probably not suitable with my hand.”
She smiles wryly, covering the moon with her palm.
Her hands that had become rough due to disinfectant solutions are proof that Sakura had saved the lives of many shinobis. Sasuke felt proud of this, he very much like how serious her eyes are while working. Her careful and delicate hand gestures when treating the injured, the way she gently rolls up her sleeves when concentrating on chakra. As well as writing down notes on medical records after an examination. Seeing her passion for research and using ways different from himself to expand the village, he felt very happy.
“When I’m not at home, feeling concerned if someone will take away the place that I belong. These are things I never thought about.”
Sakura responds back with a nod.
“There are times that I worryingly think, when I finally return, seeing Sarada grow taller, seeing your hairstyle change slightly.”
“I’m the same, I also think about these things. For example, when will wrinkles appear under Sasuke-kun’s eyes.”
“A little~ when you smile. It’s very cool, not bad at all.”
“You haven’t changed.” As he speaks, his hand reaches out to touch under Sakura’s eye.
“It’s ok even if you get a lot of wrinkles.”
