Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 10 Sakura, you smell so good~~
White steam filled the bathroom, and Sakura soaked comfortably in the bathtub, all the fatigue from running gone.

He lifted his small hand from the water, creating ripples. Soaked in the hot water, the hand of a six-year-old child looked very pink and tender.

After her mind calmed down, Sakura could feel that her chakra had almost recovered, and the excess chakra was automatically gathering towards the center of her forehead.

My nerves, which had just finally calmed down, became tense again.

Sixteen-year-old Haruno Sakura is very strong, but she is just that good compared to Konoha.

Don't relax too much...

"Sakura, you're going to be late."

Meiko Haruno knocked on the bathroom door, and her voice came out.

"Here I come, Mom!"

—

When Haruno Sakura came to the classroom with her hair not completely dried yet, it was almost time for class.

"Sakura, have you showered?"

Ino touched Sakura's pink hair, which was still a little wet.

"Well, I worked out for a bit this morning and took a shower."

"It seems that I didn't manage my time well. I should get up earlier next time."

Haruno Sakura tucked her hair, which was blocking her vision, behind her ears without caring and responded to Ino with a chuckle.

"what……"

Sakura is so hardworking...

Ino looked at Haruno Sakura and couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

"Why are you taking this so seriously, Sakura? Isn't it better for you to be with us?"

Ino didn't understand why Sakura was working so hard. She just got the study materials yesterday and started practicing today.

Sakura glanced around the class.

Not many, just over twenty.

But most of them are children of various ninja clans. Nine of the Twelve Little Strongmen are here. Except for Sakura herself, among the other eight Little Strongmen, six are future ninja clan leaders, and the other two are the Seventh Hokage and the last Uchiha.

In terms of background, Sakura is the lowest.

In terms of resources, Sakura has the lowest.

She's just a civilian ninja.

If one wants to reach the highest point and receive winds from all directions, in this world of bloodline theory, the ability of a Ninja Sakura is far from enough.

She needs to work a little harder.

"Ino, actually, we are..."

Before Sakura could finish her words, a dry towel was dropped on her head.

"Wipe your hair, or you'll catch a cold easily."

Iruka looked gently at the little girl with wet hair.

"Well, thank you, Iruka-sensei."

Haruno Sakura wiped her hair and thanked Iruka.

"What are we?"

Ino looked at Sakura curiously.

"We are lifelong friends."

Sakura smiled in response to Ino's question.

"Ah, cunning, that's definitely not what Sakura meant to say just now."

Ino rushed towards Sakura angrily and took the towel off Sakura's head.

"I definitely know about this kind of thing without Sakura telling me."

Ino stood behind Sakura, holding the towel and wiping Sakura's hair as a matter of course.

Feeling Ino's movements above her head, Haruno Sakura couldn't help but smile.

Maybe I'm overthinking it.

It's obvious that Ino and I are the same kind of people.

Unlike the past, Sakura did not listen to Iruka's lecture today, but picked up other textbooks to read. She already knew what Iruka was talking about last night.

Time passed little by little, and the morning lecture was over. During this time, Iruka completely ignored Sakura's "absenteeism" behavior.

"Today is physical training this afternoon, everyone get ready and remember not to eat too much."

As Iruka finished his words, a wailing sound suddenly rang out in the classroom.

The physical training in the Ninja School is not as easy as the physical education classes in the previous life.

This is a way to develop the physical strength of these reserve ninjas to the limit.

Or it can be understood as, as long as you don't kill yourself, you should practice to the point of death.

"Especially those at the back, it's best not to think about skipping class."

Iruka knocked on the table and continued:
"I'm talking about you guys, Naruto, Kiba, Shikamaru, and Choji."

The faces of the boys who were specifically mentioned by Iruka suddenly froze, and the little calculations in their minds disappeared instantly.

"Xiaoying, there is a devilish training this afternoon~~"

After Iruka left, Ino came up to him all of a sudden with a sad face.

"If there is, there is. There is no escape anyway."

Haruno Sakura closed the textbook in her hand and looked helplessly at Ino who was rubbing against her.

Ino suddenly sniffed Sakura, and the hot breath made Sakura's neck itchy.

"Sakura, you smell so good~~"

"What shampoo do you use?"

……

At noon, Sakura did not eat in the playground as usual. Instead, she was reading "The Will of Fire of the First Hokage" while eating rice balls made by her mother.

No one knew where Ino went, but the person sticking to her had changed.

"Hey, Sakura, this is the new Tenrafu that I learned from the recipe Sakura gave me yesterday~~"

"Xiaoying, please give me a taste~~"

The blond boy approached Haruno Sakura with a grin on his face, opening a food box that was obviously just bought.

Looking at the not-so-good-looking Tenrafu in the food box, Sakura glanced at Naruto with some surprise.

This guy really puts his heart into cooking...

Sakura did not refuse Naruto's kindness. She took the chopsticks given by Naruto, picked up a fried shrimp and put it into her mouth.

Honestly, it doesn't taste that good.

"It tastes good. It would be better if the batter had less salt."

Sakura likes light taste, so for her, Naruto added a bit too much seasoning.

"Then I'll just do better next time!"

Naruto was not discouraged, but instead cheered up.

"Tell me, when did the two of them become so close..."

At the window, three heads were lined up in a row.

Ya, with red paint on her face, looked at the two people in the classroom and spoke.

"It looks suspicious no matter how you look at it."

"But Naruto, when did you learn to cook? I really want to try it."

Choji was chewing potato chips, his eyes fixed on the food box in front of Sakura.

"Isn't it obvious at a glance? Naruto likes Sakura, but Sakura doesn't have this idea."

Shikamaru said with a pair of dead fish eyes, looking at Sakura whose attention was only on the book the whole time.

But then again, Sakura is really amazing. She is actually planning to skip a grade.

The pineapple-haired black-haired boy noticed from the beginning that the book in front of Sakura was not what they should be studying at this stage.

This means that the other party really got the information about skipping grades from Iruka, and Iruka let Sakura do whatever she wanted all day long, which obviously supported Sakura's skipping grades.

There's going to be a genius in their class...
