As a member of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Ino's companion, the team's brain. He wanted more than what Ding had seen for the first time. Since the last time the Hawks attacked Konoha, he found that Ino had changed a lot, especially during training and missions. She would always stare at the sky in a daze, thinking about something.
Shikamaru understood that she was thinking about Uchiha Chen. For so many years, she couldn't forget Uchiha Chen, and she even let herself fall deeper and deeper. Shikamaru was very clear, but he didn't have a good reason, nor a good way to persuade Ino.
The one who tied the bell should untie it. Ino's problem could only be solved by Uchiha Chen. Whether it was Shikamaru or some other people, they were not qualified to intervene in this matter. However, Uchiha Chen was now on the opposite side of Konoha. The feeling of being sandwiched between the village and the person he liked was very uncomfortable. Shikamaru only hoped that Uchiha Chen would treat Ino a little better, so that she wouldn't suffer so much, or simply cut off this feeling and let Ino give up.
Shikamaru sighed softly. This is all he can do. Maybe this time, Ino will be taken away by Uchiha Ichiha. Maybe it will be a good opportunity for the two of them to be alone for a while to solve all the problems.
...
After returning to the separate dimension, Uchiha Chen gently walked to Ino's side, who was still sleeping. Looking at the blonde beauty in front of him, Uchiha Chen couldn't help but sigh softly. In the end, the biggest reason for this matter was his avoidance.
This was also the case when the Uchiha Clan was destroyed. Knowing that Itachi would kill everyone in the Uchiha Clan at that time, he chose to ignore everything, even the feelings of his parents, in order not to leave behind any shackles after the death of the Uchiha Clan. But what was the result? After a long time, even a dog would have feelings, let alone his parents who had taken care of him for so many years.
And Ino was the same. To put it bluntly, he shouldn't have flirted with her. He already knew his end, but he still imagined that things would turn around, and he could make a change. But what was the result? In order to avoid Danzo's surveillance, he disguised himself for a year, regardless of what the outside world thought of him.
It seemed that from that moment onwards, Ino's feelings for Chen had been deeply rooted. But Uchiha Chen chose to escape time and time again, just like how he chose to ignore the feelings of his family, avoiding Ino's warm response.
There was a good saying that some things could only be regretted after they were lost. It was the same on the day of the extermination of Konoha, and it was the same when they attacked Konoha. In the end, it was only during the attack on Konoha that Uchiha Chen truly responded to Ino's love for the first time, but what could the two of them do when they were already on opposite sides? Therefore, he could only choose to ignore it once again.
Chen sighed softly. Apart from his strength, everything he has is a failure. Failed familial love, failed feelings, and failed friendships. There was not a single thing that he could control perfectly.
Suddenly, Ino, who was still sleeping, frowned. It was as if she had dreamed of something terrible. She clenched her fists and her expression became fearful. "No … Chen …"
Chen gently covered Ino's face with his hand, smoothing out the wrinkles on her eyebrows, then slowly slid down and stopped on her cheek. He said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
As if feeling the warmth of Chen's hand, or perhaps hearing his voice, Ino's expression gradually stabilized, as if she had escaped from the nightmare.
Chen looked at Ino with gentle eyes. Speaking of which, this was the first time he looked at Ino so carefully. It was also the first time he realized that Ino was so beautiful in her sleep.
She gently leaned on Chen's legs, her blonde hair spread out like clouds, covering her forehead. Even in her sleep, there was a cloud-like sadness between her eyebrows. Chen's gaze swept across her butterfly-like eyelashes and red lips. Silent, except for her faint breathing, it was like a still painting, flowing with time.
"There is a beauty in the north, peerless and independent. A glance at a city, a second glance at a country, "Chen could not help but softly recite the most famous poem by Li Yannian in his previous life.
Perhaps Chen's voice broke the silence in the room, but Ino's eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if she was about to wake up.
Chen did not know why, but at this time, he was a little nervous. It was as if … ever since they were young, when they were alone in Ino's flower shop, he had never been alone with Ino. Every time they met, it was either on the battlefield or when they were about to enter the battlefield.
At this time, Chen did not know what to say when Ino woke up. In his previous life, Chen had never really been in love with a girl, so he did not know what to say next. In fact, Shen even subconsciously wanted to escape.
After shaking a few times, Ino finally opened her eyes.
"Where … where is this place? Am I not on the battlefield? " Ino propped herself up and said with a headache, "Oh no, I have to go back …" As she said that, she wanted to stand up and look for a way out.
"There is no need to go. The enemy over there has been dealt with. Your companions should have finished evacuating by now. "
Hearing the familiar voice behind her, Ino was puzzled. "Why does this voice sound so familiar?" Ino, who had just woken up, was still confused. "That's not right. I think I heard Chen's voice just now."
With that thought in mind, Ino was suddenly stunned. She seemed to have realized something. She held her breath and did not dare to move. She could only hear her heart pounding violently.
"Is … is that Chen?"
Ino did not dare to turn her head because she was afraid that the person she saw would not be the one she was looking forward to. If that happened, all her hopes would turn into nothing. Instead of meeting an old friend, she would rather turn her head and not meet him.
However, the person behind her remained silent and did not give Ino an answer.
There was no concept of time in the alternate space. Or rather, in this alternate space where there was no sun or moon, there was nothing that could be used to measure time. Even so, Ino felt that time was passing very slowly. The time she spent waiting for a reply felt like a century.
Surprisingly, Ino's body began to tremble slightly. After not hearing a reply for a long time, she seemed to have understood why there was no reply.
