"Yuki-sensei, that's great! You're okay!"

Sakura's eyes welled with tears, her youthful face alight with joy.

It seemed her satisfaction stemmed solely from seeing the man before her unharmed.

"Little Sakura."

Yuki smiled gently at her, beckoning her with a soft wave of his hand.

"Look~ Our dear, amusing girl is here!"

"Eh~"

Sakura's eyes sparkled as she quickly stepped forward and fell into his embrace.

Like a clever puppy, she affectionately nuzzled against him.

"It's really worrying, little Sakura. Why did you run into such a dangerous place all by yourself?"

Yuki reached out, gently stroking her soft, long, pink hair.

The young, lively girl exuded a refreshing aura.

Ah~ This sweet innocence!

One can't help but want to cherish her deeply!

"Hmm~ I didn't think much about it. I just knew that Yuki-sensei was here, so I ran over,"

Sakura answered honestly.

Her hands clung tightly to his clothes, greedily inhaling his masculine scent.

The scent of Yuki-sensei is so comforting~

Yuki-sensei's hands are large and warm~

Yuki-sensei's voice is so gentle~

At that moment,

In the eyes of the girl, there was only adoration for the one she admired.

She looked up, her cheeks flushed.

Her turquoise eyes shimmered.

Her lips parted slightly,

And she made an affectionate confession--

"Yuki-sensei, I like you so much!"

"I mean it."

"I really, really like you!"

"I know"

"There are many outstanding girls around Yuki-sensei."

"I may not compare."

"But this feeling I harbor, this love,"

"It's deeper than anyone else's!!!"

After Sakura finished, she shyly lowered her head.

Yuki restrained the surge of amusement in his heart, the corners of his mouth twitching wildly.

But, being the professional he was, he held back.

He didn't burst out laughing!

Orochimaru, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahahahahaha!

"Did I hear that correctly?"

"In the face of such calamity, to say such naive things!

Orochimaru found it amusing too!

Now, Konoha was facing unprecedented destruction.

Ninjas were scattered everywhere.

Several Tailed Beasts rampaged without restraint.

It was a scene akin to hell on earth...

Yet, what was this pink-haired girl doing?

Not seeking refuge, not participating in the battle,

But running out to confess her love to a man?

Are you sure this isn't some kind of joke?

Sakura's naivety completely exceeded Orochimaru's expectations!

"Um?

"Huh? What?!"

"Ah!!!"

Hearing the laughter of a stranger,

Sakura lifted her head and noticed Orochimaru was present.

That was the most wanted criminal who betrayed Konoha!

"Why is he here???""

Orochimaru froze for a moment, then couldn't help but twitch his cheeks, a subtle look on his face.

"You only noticed me now?"

From the start,

He was curious.

An ordinary Konoha ninja, where does the courage come from?

To face him, the most notorious Konoha criminal.

So, from the beginning,

The other party didn't take him seriously.

The girl's eyes were fixed on Yuki from start to finish.

This proves that her infatuation has overwhelmed her common sense!

"I see..."

Is this the so-called 'funny'?"

"Hehehehe~"

Orochimaru finally understood who Yuki was referring to as the comic relief.

"Um~ Yuki-sensei, I'm so scared!"

Sakura seized the opportunity to hug Yuki slightly and buried her head in his arms.

Is Orochimaru terrifying?

Quite so.

But for Sakura, who's lost in her infatuation,

It's just an excuse to cling to Yuki!

Yuki watched the amusing antics of the girl in his arms with a smile.

Around them seemed to bubble with hearts...

At that moment,

In Yuki's heart,

A stir of emotion.

Then,

He silently held the zanpakuto at his waist.

His eyebrows curved, revealing an unprecedentedly gentle look.

"Little Sakura, to have a student like you, that's wonderful!"

His uniquely magnetic voice whispered in the girl's ears.

"Hmm~"

Sakura's ears burned, and her body went limp.

"Yuki-sensei,"

"I feel so happy right now!"

"As long as I can be with you,"

"I..."

"I am willing to do anything!"

Sakura mustered her courage, stood on tiptoe,

Closed her eyes,

And waited quietly.

This was the beautiful moment of a girl's love!

It seemed like something stirred.

But that was not important.

Sakura closed her eyes tightly and pursed her lips slightly,

Filled with anticipation.

She had conveyed her heart perfectly.

She believed Yuki would surely respond.

Alas!

She suddenly widened her eyes.

A chill rushed over her.

The Shinigami, glasses already off, had unsheathed his weapon!

With such terrifying intent, even he felt a stir in his soul.

This amusing girl was completely oblivious!

In a sense, she too lost!

"Goodbye, little Sakura."

Sakura felt a tingling in her chest,

A momentary pain,

Then numbness.

From that second,

She felt her strength drain away.

Her slender eyebrows twitched, and she opened her eyes blankly.

"Huh...?"
