Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it

A little tail was following far behind.

"Sasuke," Yamanaka Ino said with a dry laugh, "What a coincidence to run into you here."

Sasuke frowned: "What are you doing here?"

Ino Yamanaka: "...Let's go for a drive."

"What, can't I come?"

Sasuke choked for a moment.

This is a public area of Konoha, so of course the other party is free to come here, but he keenly sensed that the other party's purpose was not pure.

Just then, Yamanaka Ino saw a figure approaching from behind Sasuke.

Yamanaka Ino's eyes lit up.

Tenten was fine, but she felt that Shingetsu Seiun looked a little different from the others. However, Yamanaka Ino was so nervous that her hands started to tremble.

He can't even speak properly anymore.

"Good morning, Nebula... Uncle." As soon as the words left her mouth, Yamanaka Ino wanted to slap herself hard.

"Shut up, what are you saying again!"

As the approaching Shenyue Nebula looked up at the sun high in the sky, a question arose in its mind.

"Um... Hello, Ino."

Yamanaka Ino, who was blaming herself, suddenly felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

'He...remembers my name!'

'That's awesome!'

...

Sakura Haruno cautiously made her way through the grass.

She watched Yamanaka Ino and Tenten hurrying on their way.

Then, they saw Sasuke suddenly appear.

Sakura Haruno's eyes lit up, but then she felt angry.

"You bastard Ino!"

"I knew you were lying to me before!"

"I promised I wouldn't like Sasuke anymore, but I secretly came to find him after school."

"Pah! Shameless!"

“I’ll expose your true colors with my own hands right now…” Sakura Haruno’s voice abruptly stopped.

She stole glances in the direction of Yamanaka Ino and Sasuke, her gaze involuntarily drawn to a figure that suddenly appeared.

She was tall and graceful, with a figure as elegant as jade and a demeanor as swift as the wind.

He's like a legendary god... no! Even more handsome than a god!

Sakura Haruno swore that she had never seen such a handsome person in her entire life.

Even though I was just watching from afar, and only occupied a small corner of my field of vision, my gaze would involuntarily focus, as if the other person was the only one left in the entire world.

"Heh heh..." Sakura Haruno gasped, her body frozen in place.

She gazed and gazed.

The person seemed to glance at you from afar.

Sakura Haruno only stopped following the figure when it disappeared from sight, turning her head as if locked on by radar.

The other person was no longer in sight, but the image in my mind remained crystal clear. That handsomeness, that charm, that presence…

"My goodness~" Sakura Haruno exclaimed.

He was unable to recover for a long time.

It wasn't until the footsteps grew closer that she realized Yamanaka Ino had retreated and was about to reach her location.

Sakura Haruno panicked and abandoned any intention of exposing the other party.

She got it!

She understands everything!

Ino Yamanaka wasn't lying to her; she no longer liked Sasuke. As for who she liked... it was obvious.

That man!

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Sakura Haruno carefully lifted her leg, intending to quietly dodge to the side, but she misjudged her physical condition.

Having maintained the same posture for a long time, her legs had lost all feeling, and with the slightest movement, she immediately fell to the side.

"Ah!" Yamanaka Ino couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and immediately noticed her.

"Who's there!?" Yamanaka Ino was also startled.

When she spotted a patch of pink fur peeking out from the grass, the startled Yamanaka Ino realized who had made the noise. Her heartbeat gradually calmed down, and she stormed over.

"It's you, Sakura!"

"You've been following me!"

Sakura Haruno stood up with a grimace, but when she saw the furious Ino Yamanaka, she forced an awkward smile and said, "Huh?"

"Ino, what are you saying?"

"I didn't follow you."

Yamanaka Ino naturally didn't believe it: "Nonsense!"

"If you weren't following me, then what are you doing here?"

Sakura Haruno: "I...I came to pick mushrooms."

Yamanaka Ino: "Picking mushrooms? Ha~ Where's your basket?"

Sakura Haruno lowered her head awkwardly.

Yes, without a basket or any tools, how can we pick mushrooms?

"Um... a big squirrel just ran out and took my basket and mushrooms."

Ino Yamanaka: "Do you think I believe that?"

Sakura Haruno: "I'm telling the truth."

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to get my basket and tools back." With that, he limped away hurriedly.

Every day, she would come over and pull her along, saying, "Come on, what are you looking at her for?"

"It's time to go back."

As Ino was being dragged away by Tenten, the image of Sakura Haruno leaving in a panic flashed through her mind, and for some reason, she felt uneasy.

...

For a while afterward, Yamanaka Ino would often go to the back mountain or the Konoha training grounds when she had nothing to do.

Sometimes I would follow her around, and sometimes I would go to the mountains and fields by myself if something came up.

There was one person who followed her more often than every day—Sakura Haruno.

Yamanaka Ino complained, "What are you doing following me around every day?!"

Sakura Haruno declared confidently, "I'm going to find Sasuke."

Yamanaka Ino was unhappy, but there was nothing she could do about Haruno Sakura, since the places she went to were all public areas of Konoha, and she had no right to stop Haruno Sakura from going.

This continued for some time. Most of the time, Yamanaka Ino could not see Shingetsu Nebula, but could only see Rock Lee with his thick eyebrows and Might Guy training together.

However, there is some good news—Sakura Haruno has stopped stalking her.

After following them for two months, Rock Lee noticed that the two girls might be interested in him because they frequently appeared where Might Guy and Rock Lee were. So, on a cloudy day, Rock Lee confessed his feelings to Sakura Haruno, whom he preferred.

"You've come so many times, I understand your feelings now."

I like you too.

"Let's be together!" With that, Rock Lee closed his eyes and blew a kiss, as if an invisible attack was launching at Sakura Haruno.

After that day, Sakura Haruno stopped coming along.

Yamanaka Ino persisted for a while longer, but after noticing that Rock Lee's gaze towards her was also starting to change, she decisively chose to halt the operation.

Although she was very unwilling, the plan to stay by Lee Rock's side and keep watch over the Divine Moon Nebula had too low a success rate and the cost was too high, so she had no choice but to give up.

Every day after school, she would sigh and hide in her room.

Yamanaka Ino's mother quickly realized something was wrong.

"Ino, what's wrong with you lately?"

"You don't seem very happy. Did you run into someone you don't like at school?"

Yamanaka Ino's mind flashed the image of Haruno Sakura, but she shook her head in the end: "No, Mom."

"You're still lying to me." Yamanaka Ino's mother smiled gently. "You think you can hide your feelings from your mother?"

"Tell me, what's bothering you?"

Yamanaka Ino shook her head, not intending to speak.

She had realized that her mother seemed to know Shenyue Xingyun before, and that their acquaintance was not ordinary.

Of course, even if they didn't know each other, given the other person's status and age, they couldn't possibly tell their mother.

Ino's mother: "What? Ino's all grown up now, and you don't tell your mother your secrets anymore?"

Yamanaka Ino: "No, Mom, please don't ask."
