'Even if he is not serious or just saying to console me, at least I can continue to like him.'
She was already happy that he didn't completely rejected her this time, how dare she ask for more?
"Do you know why I accepted your confession?"
"Impressed by me?"
"You little brat can't impress me yet, I just suddenly feel that you are a lot like Sato Kento."
"That student of the Ninja Academy who was forced to commit suicide by pressure? Are you afraid that I will commit suicide like him?"
"Well, I rarely have anything to be afraid of, and yours happens to be one of those cases." Satoru spoke his mind flatly, not shy like others to speak their mind, plain and gentle.
He said, "I can't imagine the picture of a young kid like Sakura withering like sakura flowers in spring, no pun intended. So I thought I should accept you. So, I took the initiative, I treated you very well these days and wanted to speak about this, but you were still unwilling to look me into my eyes, and even quarreled today, so I can only bring you here and have a good talk."
Who knew that this girl was so disingenuous, she passed out as soon as he said the beginning, and he still had to wait here for her to wake up.
"Don't worry, I won't die."
Sakura didn't know why, and found the situation a bit ridiculous, "My parents may be somewhat similar to Kento's parents, but they just want me to become better, and they will never force me to be perfect. Though I feel tired, I feel that these are within my tolerance, so sensei don't worry, if I can't hold on anymore, I will tell them."
Speaking of this, Sakura blushed again, and added, "I will tell you too."
This was already a blatant gesture of her feelings, so Satoru felt that it would not be polite if he didn't speak clearly.
"Listen to me, you know, I can't be like others who are dedicated to only one woman, at least so far, Tsunade is the one I am willing to dedicate myself to, she will always be the top person in my heart. These things are not acceptable to everyone."
The man she loves was not only in love with her, or even more so, he was with more than one or two women, this matter sounded very disgusting.
But Satoru finished talking about it brightly.
"If someone says that she likes me at the cost of her life, and I happen to be able to accept it, I will accept that person's feelings. As for the reward of continuing to maintain politeness or becoming an intimate lover with me, I can also do what lovers would do, what about you?"
"Ye…"
Sakura's "Yes" was interrupted before she could say it.
"You can, but not now."
Satoru understood the meaning of Sakura's hesitation, perhaps because she was young, she had the courage to go forward that many of those adults did not have, even if she could not be the only one to get love from Satoru, she would work hard to fight for it.
It was precisely because of this that Satoru needed to speak clearly before giving her a choice.
"I still say the same thing, you can be ignorant, but I can't act ignorant along with you. I can't stand in the perspective of an adult to lure an immature child to be with me."
"Then what do you mean..."
"You choose our relationship, do you want to be my girlfriend or a student?"
"I want to be your lover, not just your girlfriend! Sensei, I love you!"
(T.L Note: I don't quite know the difference between lover and gf, if anyone knows then comment)
Sakura still firmly chose what she wanted, even if she might regret it one day, but at least not now.
"...Okay, I see."
Satoru jumped down from the tree and said, "I accept you, and also thank you for accepting everything about me. But until you are an adult, I will not have an intimate contact with you. Before that, you still have the right to go back on your words at any time."
This was the last advantage Satoru could give her.
Sakura was a special person, she was one of his students, he doesn't want her to regret her decision made by an impulse in her youth in the future, so at least before taking the last step, he gave her a chance to go back on this relationship, she still had several years so there was no rush.
"Ah?!"
Sakura's expression seemed particularly lost.
"I can't have any intimate contact... I can't touch you anymore?"
'Will sensei stop patting my head in the future?'
Thinking about it make her feel lost.
'Gaining the identity of a lover and losing the right to get touched by him?! What kind of devil's choice is this?!'
Satoru suddenly felt a little ridiculous, then bent down, approached Sakura's face, stared at her and asked, "Little brat, do you know what intimate contact is?"
"Ah? Isn't it this..."
Sakura stretched out her hand slowly, and touched Satoru's hand with her finger.
Satoru laughed, put his hands on Sakura's face and said, "This is intimate contact."
As soon as the words fell, she saw his face approaching suddenly.
'It's too close! One more step forward, and his lips would touch my lips.'
Sakura suddenly understood!
'So that's is!'
"Sen… sensei!!"
"Got it kid? You can't have the forbidden fruit yet."
Satoru held back his laughter and let go of her. The only trace of conscience left in his heart suppressed Satoru's bad taste of teasing her more, and in the end he still didn't tell her that intimate contact includes kissing, but that was not the end of it.
Satoru withdrew his hand, and said, "Okay, Naruto and Sasuke have already finished training and went back, so you can catch up with them early tomorrow morning."
"Okay."
'Lover... Satoru-sensei is my lover!'
These word "lover" was lingering on her mind, making her heart beating wildly. Just thinking about it made her so excited that she was about to jump up with joy.
…
The in-depth cooperation contract between Konoha and Kirigakure had almost been signed. The two parties have been exchanging letters and discussing specific matters for a month. But recently, Tsunade always felt that the other party's letters were not normal, and the words were becoming more and more urgent. Even more so, they even started to put everything towards Konoha's favor ignoring Kirigakure itself to finalize the contract.
This was not a good thing. Before the contract was finalized, if everything was not negotiated properly, then there will be troubles in the later stage. Tsunade still wanted them to speak more about their demands and expectations to at least reach an agreement on every clause that can be thought of.
"What's wrong?"
Satoru had just finished training squad seven, and just when he came back, he saw Tsunade frowning and scratching her head at a pile of documents.
"Kirigakure seems to have something going on, maybe some kind of an accident."
Hearing the word Kirigakure, Satoru subconsciously thought of that woman who was strong on the outside and weak on the inside, and even cursed herself because of guilt.
"So what's wrong?"
"I don't know, I mean I don't know the specifics. But in short, they should be in some trouble, but they are afraid of affecting the cooperation between our villages, so they have kept silent about it. But this is not good for our cooperation, we must help to solve it quickly."
"If what you are saying is correct then even Mizukage haven't been able to solve the matter directly, so it should be quite troublesome. Are you going to send someone to help them?"
