The pleasant ice-skating trip came to an end by the afternoon.
After saying their goodbyes along the riverbank, Yuka and Sasuke walked hand in hand toward home.
Along the way, Yuka chattered endlessly about how much fun she had on the ice. She went on about how Ino and Sakura were absolute natural skating prodigies who could totally enter competitions and looked amazing doing it, how Shikamaru was such a great teacher, how Neji looked so graceful skating like he was dancing, how funny Naruto looked on the ice, and how Choji looked just like a chubby little penguin while skating, hahahaha.
Yuka rattled on about all sorts of things like that, but she never once mentioned Sasuke.
