うちはイタチ: Uchihaslostprodigy | Harunoshannaro | | "Under?" | |
As he approached the Village gates, the sounds of her footsteps could be heard quickly closing in on him before she skidded to a halt, assuming his pace almost instantly. A side glance, and he caught her looking at him from between pink tresses that had found their way into her eyes in her haste. Did she have a question about something? Just as he was about to turn his attention to the road ahead, she spoke up.
“Newlyweds huh…”
Unsure if it was simply an offhand comment or an attempt at conversation, the Uchiha nodded in the affirmative.
“Indeed. We will be sharing accommodations during our stay, I hope this will not be a problem? I assure you, my conduct will be that of a gentleman." He smiled at her reassuringly before continuing. "It is my understanding, the bedroom is separate from the living area, with doors for your privacy. The only area we will have to share is the bathroom.”

By nightfall they had found a cave that seemed suitable to make camp, and the Uchiha promptly made a fire to heat their field rations. When he’d finished setting up his sleeping bag, he sat down to eat on the opposite side of the campfire, his obsidian gaze focused on nothing in particular. When he’d nearly finished his meal, he locked eyes with his companion.
“Haruno-san, this will not be your first visit to the Land of Spring, correct? It is my understanding that Team Seven conducted a mission there when it was still known as the Land of Snow…”
His words were nothing if not professional, stiff and measured.
“Indeed. We will be sharing accommodations during our stay, I hope this will not be a problem? I assure you, my conduct will be that of a gentleman.”
She swatted the air at them, shaking her head and letting out a forced laugh, “Ha—no, no don’t worry…”
When you say it like that it’s even more awkward. She sighed, internally groaning.
Well, at least he’s one very hot Uchiha…
The rest of the walk was made in nearly unbearable silence. Sakura began to wish she had Naruto around to break up the monotony, but then again, having that idiot around while on this particular mission - involving pretending to be a married couple- might only make things worse.
She began making camp in a cave, mostly independent of each other until the very end. Once the break had began and they settled down into respective places did he speak again, surprising her.
She awkwardly forced down the bite of rice she’d been in the middle of eating when he began speaking, coughing loudly and shuffling her things to the side to give him all of her attention.
How else could she act around the prodigy Uchiha?
“Hai, that’s correct. But,” She sighed at the thought, “That was a long time ago.” Before her memory could run away with her, she gave him a strain, polite smile, “Will this be your first mission there Uchiha-san?”
