Chapter 384
Sai nodded silently, indicating his agreement with Sakura, and then said softly: "Well, maybe that's the case...but unfortunately, my brother has passed away."
His voice was as calm as dead water, as if he had already accepted this cruel fact.
Sakura was unsure of what was going on with Sai, but if she continued talking about it now, it would seem very rude. But for some reason, she felt a little sad for Sai.
Without human emotions, it was like a machine that could only complete its mission. This reminded Sakura of Gaara in the past...
"Should I have made that expression?"
Following Sai's gaze, Naruto placed one hand on the tree. As he exerted force with his palm, a deep five-finger mark was clearly left on the tree, as if it had been kneaded by a powerful force.
Then, Naruto slowly bent down, his movements were slow and heavy, as if he was carrying an invisible pressure. He stretched out his other hand and gently grabbed the luggage bag on the ground.
That simple action makes people feel an indescribable determination and firmness.
Sakura stretched, her tone unchanged, "What do you want to say?"
Sai didn't hide anything and said bluntly: "It's such a headache. When my brother died, I didn't know what expression to use."
... ...These words made me not know what to do next.
When Sakura was silent, she heard Captain Yamato clapping his hands, "Let's stop chatting here, we are about to leave, everyone go pack up."
But when Sai turned around and walked to Sakura's side, he stopped and said, "Sakura, you are very gentle to Naruto... right? Very gentle, that's what it says in the book, although I don't know why such feelings well up in my heart."
Naruto, who was standing not far away, holding his luggage, reminded: "Everyone, hurry up, if you don't arrive before noon tomorrow, all your efforts will be wasted."
Sakura didn't know how to explain Sai's feeling. Was it? After all, they grew up together? And for Naruto, his situation was indeed quite special, so it was normal for him to care more about him.
And Sai was waiting for her answer intently. Sakura rarely chose to avoid the question. After all, she didn't know how to express this kind of thing. Suddenly, she felt like an older sister, Naruto was the passionate second brother, and Sai was the ignorant third brother.
If that's the case, how about we just become sworn brothers? Well, the scene is too beautiful, so forget it.
Without Naruto's interruptions along the way, the few of them arrived at the predicted location before dusk, which was a wooden house as usual. However, just as Naruto said, he did not look at Sai too much or embarrass him.
Just like two strangers.
Sitting in the house, gazing into the distance, a bright moon hangs high above the deep sky, and the water-like moonlight covers the vast fields not far away. A slope running through the fields leads directly to a bridge not far away. The sound of gurgling water mixed with the rustling sound of insects is like an endless drizzle.
No wonder everyone likes to go out and do missions. It’s really nice to be able to see beautiful scenery that is different from the village.
At dawn, the sky was slightly pale, and the morning light shone faintly through the clouds.
The group of four had already stood up and continued on their way, their steps hurried as if they couldn't wait to reach their destination.
Captain Yamato, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly stopped and signaled the others behind him to stop. He said in a serious tone, "We are almost there. Let's make some preparations here before heading to the bridge."
Several people nodded to show that they understood. They knew that what they were facing next might be a severe challenge and they had to be fully prepared.
So everyone started checking the equipment and items they brought with them to make sure everything was in best condition.
At this moment, Sakura was getting closer and closer to the Heaven and Earth Bridge. She could clearly see the ancient and mysterious bridge spanning the cliff, and at the bottom of the cliff was a turbulent river.
