Chapter 271 Why Do You Like Sōseki?

While Sōseki was secretly planning the next stage of his plan, in another direction, the two girls, who had not returned home, met.

"Kurenai, did you mean to tell me not to go home just now?" Shizune asked in doubts when he saw Kurenai returning.

"Un." Kurenai nodded, "We have known each other for so many years, but we haven't talked about it even once!"

"Un." Shizune bit her lip, "I also want to talk to you about it!"

"Then, shall we go to the park?"

"Let's go."

Perhaps because of the end of the war and everyone is celebrating at home, the usual bustling park is now very quiet.

The two girls are walking on the path covered with fallen leaves, the breeze is blowing as they enjoyed this moment of tranquility.

After a moment of silence, Kurenai turned her head and asked, "Shizune, do you like Sōseki too?"

Although it's a very obvious thing, it's still the first time that Shizune heard it was openly exposed. Therefore, Shizune couldn't help but be a little shy, but she still nodded firmly, "That's right, Kurenai, are you the same?"

Kurenai held her small hands behind her back, and her eyes drifted to one side, "Of course."

After talking about it, Shizune's shyness lessen, and she asked curiously, "Can you tell me how did you like Sōseki?"

Kurenai's fingertips tapped her chin softly as she recalled, "In the beginning, it was because Sōseki's kindness and gentleness. Like a beam of light, he made people want to get close to him!"

"And also because of Sōseki's hard work!" As she said that, Kurenai's tone sounded a little resentful, "Everyone likes to judge Sōseki with the so-called genius, saying everything about him as if it was a matter of course!"

"But what about the facts? When they are playing, Sōseki works in the hospital to support himself. When they are resting, Sōseki trained his Ninjutsu without eating or sleeping!"

"I know that Sōseki worked harder than anyone else! Everyone said that Guy is a hardworking genius, but in my opinion, Sōseki's hard works is definitely not less than Guy's!"

"I just like this gentle, kind, and hard-working Sōseki!" Kurenai's face was dyed with a layer of crimson, but her tone sounded extremely proud, "Shizune, what about you?"

"I'm the same as you." Shizune also recalled the past, "The first time I was shocked by Sōseki is when he scolded Tsunade-sama loudly because of Mizuki! At that time, I felt that this boy was too brave. Compared with him, the other boys are ridiculously naive!"

"Later, Sōseki studied Medical Ninjutsu under Tsunade-sama, taking classes during the day, training Genjutsu from your father in the evening, training Medical Ninjutsu in the evening, and going to the hospital to help on weekends."

"The intensity of his lifestyle is simply terrifying. I also asked Tsunade-sama about it, but Tsunade-sama told me not to worry as Sōseki has a stronger heart and belief than anyone else! "Shizune waved her small hand and said, "I like to see Sōseki being serious, as serious boys are the coolest!"

"Yeah, I think so too." Red nodded excitedly, "Sōseki looks the coolest when he is training Genjutsu seriously!"

"Hehe, right?" "Shizune said with a smile, "But the coolest Sōseki is when he is in charge of the operation!"

"No, it's Genjutsu!"

"The operation is even cooler!"

"It's Genjutsu..."

As they said that, the two of them looked at each other and laughed.

After a while, Kurenai said with some worry, "In fact, I've always been a little scared. "

Shizune tilted her head in confusion, "What are you afraid of?" "

"Before, I thought I was the special one. Sōseki helped me and protect me, and I thought it must be because he liked me! "Kurenai said melancholily, "But later, I gradually realized that Sōseki treats everyone very well, and he always helps everyone so selflessly! "

"Just like this time, Sōseki killed Mizukage in order to avenge Rin. Of course I know that if it is us, Sōseki will definitely do the same. "Kurenai sighed," But I'm worried, worried that Sōseki is actually treating us like ordinary friends!"

"In fact, special treatment has always been there!" Shizune said with a smile.

"What is it? Tell me!" Kurenai asked excitedly.

"Remember that we used to block girls from getting closer to Sōseki!" Shizune said with a somewhat embarrassed smile, "If someone as assertive as Sōseki doesn't approve of us, how could he agree to our wayward actions? "

Kurenai was also a little embarrassed of her childish behavior of swearing sovereignty in the past, but soon she became excited again, "So, we are really special?" "

"Hmmm!" Shizune then asked jokingly, " Why don't you go to Sōseki to confirm it yourself?" "

"Haha, I don't have to!" Kurenai chuckled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject, "I almost forgot about my business. Actually, there is something I want to tell you when I asked you to meet me today." "

Shizune then asked, "What's the matter?" "

"Sōseki is too gentle. He is always helping others, but no matter how strong a person is, there will be times when they are vulnerable, right?" "Kurenai said sadly, "We still have family, but Sōseki only has us!"

"You mean, Sōseki actually deliberately used such a powerful appearance to cover up his heart? Shizune couldn't help but ask.

"For us girls, if you like a person, you should like everything about him, whether it's perfect or flawed. I really want to see the real Sōseki! But..." Kurenai said in soft voice, "I can't do that. Boys always tries to look strong, and even Sōseki wouldn't want to show his fragility in front of us! "

"No one is perfect, but Sōseki has to be perfect, because he has always been the leader of everyone. Only by making himself strong can he help others! "Shizune's voice is full of pride and pity, "He is such a man who makes himself as perfect as possible for everyone!" "

"So, we can't hold Sōseki back!" Kurenai said as she looked towards Shizune, "Let's fill the vacancy in Sōseki's heart!" "

"Fill the vacancy..." Hearing this, Shizune's small face became hot, white mist also started appearing on top of her head, and her body was shaking. "Isn't it too early?"

"Why is it early?" "Kurenai looked at her strangely, "I mean, we're going to cook him dinner tonight to celebrate!"

"Huh? Oh! Is that so? "Shizune's little hand fanned the wind beside her ears.

"Did you not notice? Today, when everyone said that were going back to celebrate, Sōseki looked a little lonely!" Kurenai said seriously, "It must be because everyone has a family to celebrate with, but Sōseki can only be alone!"

"I, I was absent-minded at that time! "Shizune was a little embarrassed, as because when she received Kurenai's hint, she was worried that it might be because Kurenai wanted to decide with her who would stay by Sōseki's side.

Kurenai didn't think about it too much, and said with a smile, "Anyway, I already told you everything. When the time comes, if you don't come, don't blame me for getting the early start!"

Shizune opened her eyes wide and said, "How can you say such terrible things as if it's a matter of course? Hmph, I will definitely come!"
