Tsunade, Naruto, Scarlet and Shizune were present Kakashi's room. Tsunade treats Kakashi and then comments "Kakashi, you got beaten by two thugs, it is pathetic. Weren't you supposed to be a genius?"
Kakashi replies " I am sorry"
Naruto then shouts " Now that we got Kakashi sensei treated, we need to treat bushy brow"
Guy appears behind Naruto and says to Tsunade " Please hurry up and take a look at my disciple lee"
Soon we towards Lee, When Tsunade saw Lee she frowned, she instantly grasped Lee's situation and felt bad for him. Tsunade wanted to maintain privacy about Lee's condition so she said:" Hey Naruto should you be wasting your time here?"
Naruto replies " You are right I have an appointment with Iruka sensei, see you later grandma Tsunade"
Tsunade looks towards Scarlet but before she could say anything Scarlet says " You don't need to say anything I will leave now. Best of luck"
Tsunade understood that Scarlet jas grasped the situation and nodded.
Scarlet went home and took some scrolls and left to Valley of the end for training.
At the Hospital.
Sasuke completed the formalities and was going to leave the hospital when Sakura appeared before him.
Sakura says " Sasuke kun, you should take some rest weren't healed just now"
As Sasuke got to know the truth about Itachi, the darkness in him disappeared, the Sasuke now is just a little cold but remains friendly with others.
Sasuke replies coldly" No need, I need to recover and practice soon. Thank you for looking after me Sakura"
Sakura was shocked, she expected the cold answer from Sasuke but did not expect that Sasuke would thank her. Even though she was happy that Sasuke thanked her, she was curious about the change in Sasuke. Why did Sasuke's behaviour change? Is this because of Scarlet? or because of his mysterious brother?
Sakura had many questions she wanted to ask Sasuke when she came out of the daze she noticed that Sasuke had left.
'Damn Sasuke how can you leave me like that!?'
Sakura quickly chased Sasuke finally she caught up with Sasuke in the middle of the forest. Sakura shouted " Wait for me Sasuke kun"
Sasuke was irritated but still waited for her considering how she took care of him every day.
Sakura asked Sasuke " Sasuke kun, I want to ask you something and I hope that you can answer it truthfully"
Sasuke didn't reply and just listened to her. Sakura continued " Do you like Scarlet chan Sasuke kun?"
Sasuke was shocked when he heard that, Sasuke always hid his emotions really well and there very few people who could see through his facade, he did not believe that Sakura could see through him.
Suddenly he realized that he did not control his emotions well when he woke up at the hospital.
Seeing Sasuke in deep thought Sakura felt more sure of it, she felt sad Sasuke whom she always chased was actually liking someone else. Sakura said with a hoarse voice " You don't need to hide Sasuke, I can easily identify it because I am just like you but I like you and you like Scarlet"
Seeing that he was exposed Sasuke confessed " I do like Scarlet"
Sakura felt very painful at her heart, tears were gushing out of her eyes. She said with a hoarse voice" Sasuke can you let me hug you once please"
Sasuke wanted refuse but seeing her he felt pity and reluctantly agreed. Sakura Hughes Sasuke and burst into tears, she was releasing all her pent up emotions.
After 15 minutes she finally released Sasuke and said" Thank you Sasuke kun" Sasuke nodded.
Sakura finally stabilised her emotions as she said
"Sasuke kun, I have to say you have a lot of difficulties to get together with Scarlet. Even though she acts friendly with all of us, only with Naruto kun she reveals her emotions."
Sasuke knew Sakura was telling the truth, Scarlet always remained calm and low key and only when things are related to Naruto will she show her emotions. Sasuke was really jealous of Naruto, he was always pampered by Scarlet and always gets hugged by her only God knows how many times he wished that he was in place of Naruto.
Sasuke soon comes out his thoughts when he realizes that Sakura left. He then goes towards his home.
Sakura who just exits the forest thinks ' Even though I managed to act tough in front Sasuke kun, it is still very painful. I need to visit Ino pig to stabilize my emotions'
She then travels towards Ino's house.
