Chapter 502
There was a firm light flashing in those ice-blue eyes, as if burning with a flame, revealing an unquestionable determination.
This seriousness alone is worthy of awe.
Shikamaru's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, but his eyes were full of heartache.
He recalled the hard training scenes that Sakura had experienced: when she was training with the Hokage, she had vomited blood because she failed to dodge the Hokage's attack; after treating herself, she stood up without hesitation and continued to train; even in front of him, she vomited blood again and again, but still insisted that she was fine...
These scenes kept appearing in Shikamaru's mind, and he once asked her, if, if she was willing, she could stay in the village and be a medical ninja, saving lives and not having to go to the battlefield.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it. If Sakura wanted to, there would be no need to do these exercises at all.
At that time, Sakura took the towel from his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth carefully. After hearing what Shikamaru said, she paused briefly and said, "I don't want to just heal my teammates. It's too painful to watch my former companions and teachers lying there dying... I also want to go to the battlefield like everyone else, fight bravely for the village, and protect this village you love."
From that moment on, Shikamaru realized that he still didn't know Sakura enough.
Although he had seen Sakura's abilities, as a man, he still subconsciously regarded Sakura as a weak woman who needed protection and care, just like a dodder that depended on others.
However, he overlooked an important fact - Sakura possessed amazing talent and perseverance.
Sakura not only learned and mastered medical ninjutsu through her own efforts, which showed that she had a high talent in this field. At the same time, she was able to be promoted to Chunin and Jonin step by step, which was definitely not just because of her talent.
More importantly, she has worked hard and steadily through every stage, constantly improving her abilities.
Just like now.
The girl who keeps working hard for this goal is now radiating her own light, which is really dazzling.
"Hiss, this is the first time I see Shikamaru showing this expression..." Ino turned back inadvertently and caught a glimpse of the rare expression on Shikamaru's face.
She was surprised to find that Shikamaru's eyes had become unusually gentle and passionate at this moment, as if he was watching his friend who was training hard on the training ground quietly with endless doting.
"Yeah, we were always so careless before." Choji nodded in agreement with Ino's sentiment.
He could keenly perceive the changes in Shikamaru. In his memory, Shikamaru always gave people the feeling that he was smart but lacked motivation. He saw through everything very thoroughly and was even a little too lazy.
However, at this moment, Shikamaru in front of him made him realize that his understanding of Shikamaru was still not enough.
The most obvious thing is that after being with Sakura, he can sense that Shikamaru is also constantly training. Although he says it's troublesome, he can sense that he really wants to become stronger, and while strengthening himself, he also becomes more responsible... ...
