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

Chapter 100 The Fourth Ninja World War

夜

Haruno family

Sakura sat on the sofa in the living room with wet hair, flipping through a scroll about medical ninjutsu.

The red-haired girl was wiping Sakura's hair with a towel.

Originally Sakura wanted to refuse. In her opinion, as long as she wiped it almost thoroughly, shook her head, and waited for it to dry naturally, she would be fine.

This is what she has been doing for many years.

As for whether I will catch a cold?
If her punch could crush a wild boar's body, was all her training in vain?

Sakura couldn't resist Karin's enthusiasm, so she just went along with her.

"Hehehe~~~ Sakura's hair~~~"

There seemed to be a strange sound from some unknown creature behind me.

As time goes by, Karin's true nature seems to be unable to be hidden anymore.

Her nature as a nympho began to gradually show.

"Fragrant phosphorus?"

Sakura's voice rang out at the right moment.

"Ok?"

Karin woke up from some state, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and couldn't help but speak.

"By the way, how long will it take for you to complete the procedures for moving into Konoha?"

Karin couldn't help scratching her head after hearing what Sakura said, and then replied:

"It's almost done, but Konoha's intelligence department is really amazing. They even found out about my great-grandfather."

"It is said that I had a distant relative who was also in Konoha before."

"It seems like, what's your name, Uzumaki Kushina?"

"But that person seems to be dead."

Sakura couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.

"Oh, that's how it is……"

Sakura's emotions were too obvious, which made Karin feel a little confused, but Karin didn't care too much about it, but said with a little disappointment:

"It probably won't be long before I have to move out..."

Once the procedures for Karin to move into Konoha are completed, Konoha will assign a house to Karin, and then Karin will have no reason to continue staying in the Haruno family.

Sakura sensed Karin's disappointment, closed the scroll in her hand, and then looked back at Karin and said:
"Emmm...if Karin can pass Konoha's Genin exam."

"I can let Karin stay in my team."

???

Karin blinked, not quite understanding what Sakura said.

She knew the leadership model of Konoha. Wasn't it one Chunin or one Jonin and three Genin?
Sakura pointed at the green vest hanging on the clothes hanger at the entrance and said with a smile:

"Actually, I am a special jonin~~"

Karin looked at the green vest, then glanced at Sakura, and the look on her face changed from confusion to surprise.

"Sakura!"

The red octopus never knew how to hide his emotions, and he pounced on Sakura and hugged her.

Sakura pulled the corner of her mouth and looked at Karin who was pressing her on the sofa, and couldn't help being speechless.

Dong~ Dong Dong~
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door of Haruno's house. Sakura broke free from Karin's arms and went to open the door with still wet hair.

"Who?"

Sakura opened the door to see a masked ANBU appear at her door. "Haruno Sakura, the Hokage has notified you to come to the Hokage building immediately."

Sakura looked at the Anbu in front of her with some confusion.

It's almost midnight. What does the old man want to talk to me about?
This has never happened before.

Late night
The petite figure left a dark shadow across the night sky and headed towards the Hokage Building.

Even though it was almost ten o'clock, the Hokage Building was still brightly lit.

Even though Sakura was still some distance away from the Hokage Building, she could vaguely see the busy figures of the staff inside.

Seeing this, Sakura's heart sank slightly.

problem occurs……

Sakura quickly walked into the Hokage Building, greeted a few familiar staff members, and then walked straight towards the Hokage Building without stopping.

Sakura pushed the door open without hesitation and suddenly felt suffocated.

The light blue smoke that rushed towards Sakura swept her in like a tide.

The whole office looks like a 'fairyland' filled with second-hand smoke.

I could only vaguely see Sarutobi Hiruzen and Nara Shikaku sitting inside, smoking.

"Oh, Sakura is here."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the figure standing at the door, his frown relaxed involuntarily. He was about to call Sakura in, but the little disciple at the door did not move for a long time. Instead, he looked at him with an unfriendly expression.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening belatedly and smiled awkwardly. He stood up, opened the window, then raised his hand and used a small wind escape technique to sweep away all the "fairy spirit" in the entire office.

Seeing this, Xiaoying came in and said with a somewhat unfriendly look:
"He's almost 70 years old, and he still smokes like this."

"Be careful or you'll lose your life."

After saying that, those emerald eyes glanced at Nara Shikaku who was sitting next to him, as if to say, what are you looking at, you are the same.

The middle-aged man with the pineapple haircut looked at the girl in front of him in silence, then glanced at the half-burned cigarette in his hand, and silently inserted the less than half-lit cigarette into the ashtray full of cigarette butts.

"Tell me, old man, what do you want from me?"

Sakura looked at the two of them, then sat on the couch and spoke.

"Is such that……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt the fresh air and slowly told the latest information.

The latest intelligence from the Frost Kingdom, as well as verification by multiple intelligence agencies of spies within the Lightning Kingdom, has confirmed one thing.

The Hidden Cloud Village took action.

Although he had already prepared to face the Hidden Cloud Village, the opponent's actions were so swift and decisive that Sarutobi Hiruzen was still caught off guard.

Sakura listened quietly to Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, thought for a long time, then glanced at Nara Shikaku who had been silent and just a spectator since she came in and said:
"The Hidden Cloud Village took action as soon as the Sand Ninja Kazekage left. Can I assume that they have already reached some kind of agreement with the Sand Ninja Village?"

Sakura's words made Nara Shikaku's eyes narrow slightly.

He had thought of this possibility, but without any definite information, he could only say that it was very likely.

But no one can guarantee it, because if the Wind and Thunder countries join forces, the effectiveness of the alliance established between Konoha and the Land of Earth will be greatly reduced.

"That's exactly what I'm worried about."

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and his brows, which had originally relaxed a little, were furrowed again.

"There's nothing to worry about."

"Old man, didn't you think of this at the beginning?"

Sakura looked at the brand new cup on the coffee table in front of her and poured herself a glass of water.

Even so, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but think of his decades-long career as Hokage, during which he experienced the Second and Third Ninja World Wars.

Could it be that the Fourth Ninja World War is about to come when I am planning to train my successor?
