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

Chapter 106: Wind and Thunder Battlefield

Chapter 106: Wind and Thunder Battlefield
When Sakura and her group returned to Konoha, it was already three days later. Unlike when they set out with light equipment, they had to take the wounded into consideration when returning, and also because of the carriage, so their speed naturally slowed down.

Looking at the gate of Konoha in front of him, Kakashi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally got back safely.

As soon as Sakura stepped into Konoha, she noticed that the atmosphere in the village was different from usual.

Not only were there fewer pedestrians on the road than usual, but even the smiles of the roadside vendors when facing their customers were mingled with a hint of sadness.

Kakashi seemed to have anticipated this and arranged the deployment of the wounded without changing his expression. Then he and Sakura went to the Hokage Building to meet Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Sakura, did you see that?"

On the way, Kakashi put his hands in his pockets, looked straight ahead and spoke.

"Ah."

"The troops in the village have already left for the battlefield."

Sakura responded to Kakashi's words calmly.

The changes in Konoha were too obvious, even a thick-skinned person like Naruto could notice them.

Kakashi looked at the girl beside him. When he first saw this girl who became a Genin at the age of eight, he felt that she was not a peaceful person.

That is exactly what happened later.

The Land of Fire, and even the entire ninja world, are changing in the hands of the other party.

It was hard for Kakashi not to believe that this war had nothing to do with Sakura.

"Sakura, if you want to change something, a situation, you need more than just intelligence."

“We also need the power to solve everything.”

Kakashi walked step by step, and the words that should have been serious came out of his mouth, but they sounded extremely lazy.

The pink girl raised her hand, looked at her palm, and then glanced at the Hokage building that was about to arrive.

“Sometimes, some things don’t happen the way you want.”

“If everything could be done according to one’s own ideas, there wouldn’t be so many regrets in the world.”

When Sakura first came to this world, she could already imagine what her own ending would be if the problem of the Yin Seal was not resolved.

The lightest and least punishment would be being imprisoned somewhere and unable to move.

A slightly more serious case is when a ninja from the Yamanaka clan digs into his own brain...

If it gets more serious...

Sakura didn't want to accept or experience all this, so she racked her brains to give the old man Sarutobi Hiruzen a big hand.

At that time, I had to continue despite my own efforts.

I just didn't expect it to develop into the current situation.

Kakashi was stunned when he heard Sakura's words.

I was used to being a teacher, and I wanted to take this opportunity to give a lecture, but I didn't expect that I would be the one being lectured in the end.

If the world can produce the results you want according to your wishes, then...

Kakashi thought of many things at this moment, his former father, companions, and teachers...

"Kakashi, what are you standing there for?"

Sakura looked back at the white-haired man who was standing there in silence.

"Nothing, let's go."

"I won't be able to rest properly for quite some time."

Hokage's Office

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but relax his frown as he looked at the battle report in his hand.

Although he had already anticipated the result, he still felt relieved when he saw the battle report.

"Well done, Kakashi, Sakura." Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but praise the two people in front of him, but then he changed the subject and continued:
"Although I really want you two to take a break, the current situation cannot be delayed."

"The Sand Ninjas from the Wind Country have arrived at the River Country. Now the village elder, Danzo Shimura, has led his troops to resist."

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but pause when he said this.

He also didn't want Danzo Shimura to go to the battlefield with the Wind Country, but the other party was determined, and with the sudden arrival of the Hidden Cloud Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to consider letting Danzo Shimura hold off the Sand Ninja.

It is hoped that this Dark Ninja who was active in the First Ninja World War can quickly eliminate the Sand Village with the cooperation of the Iwagakure Village, so that Sarutobi Hiruzen can withdraw troops to hold off the Kumogakure Village.

The Hidden Cloud Village is not as easy to deal with as the Sand Village.

As a ninja village that believes in the supremacy of power, their standing military force is almost on par with that of Konoha.

You have to know that the resources of the two countries almost determine the number of troops that each side can produce.

Even so, the Hidden Cloud Village has a military force that is almost the same as that of Konoha. From this point of view, the Hidden Cloud Village is a warmongering ninja village.

In fact, this is true. Their combat effectiveness is extremely outstanding even among the five major ninja villages.

Moreover, during the Third Ninja World War, the Third Raikage faced an ambush from the Iwagakure Village and fought against tens of thousands of ninjas alone for three days and three nights, thus preserving a considerable amount of manpower for the Kumogakure Village.

More than a decade later, the Hidden Cloud Village is fully capable of competing with Konoha for the throne of number one in the ninja world.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the pink girl beside Kakashi and spoke carefully:
"Sakura, um, are you going to the battlefield with the Sand Village?"

"No."

Sakura spoke almost subconsciously and almost immediately rejected Sarutobi Hiruzen's proposal.

The Sand Village is indeed a soft persimmon, but it can't withstand a knife stabbing you in the back.

Sakura has always assumed the greatest ill will towards Danzo Shimura.

Coupled with the inexplicable Root member who knocked on her window in the middle of the night a few years ago, Sakura had even less good feelings towards this old man.

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

Sure enough, it was just as he thought.

"In that case, Sakura should prepare to head to the Frost Country battlefield."

"The commander over there is Jiraiya."

“Remember to get along well.”

Listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's arrangements, Sakura nodded.

She didn't ask Tsunade how she was.

In any war, neither side will throw out all the cards in their hands. That would certainly have the effect of surprise, but what if the other side holds on?

Then the opponent can use the extra strength in his hands to make a detour to the side and attack your interior.

"Kakashi."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the white-haired man on the other side.

"You and Sakura will go to the Frost Country battlefield together."

"As Jiraiya's assistant."

"Although he is a very reliable person, he still needs advice from others sometimes."

"Shikaku is currently on the battlefield against the Sand Village."

"I'll leave the Frost Country to you."

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen was like an old father who was worried about his own children, with a hint of melancholy in his tone.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Kakashi had no problem with this.

Because of some things that happened in the Anbu, he didn't want to go to Shimura Danzo's side.
