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

Chapter 165 Sarada, your mother doesn’t want you anymore!
Three days have passed since Konoha and Kumogakure signed a peace treaty. Konoha required Kumogakure to make a public apology within a week and then drive Kame Island to the waters of the Land of Fire.

As for the 2.5 billion taels, considering the current situation in the Land of Lightning, the other party is allowed to repay it in five installments over five years, but Konoha also needs to relax its grain exports to the Land of Lightning and return the remains of the Raikage.

Regarding food, Konoha said that it could be exchanged for the other party's minerals. As for the remains of the Raikage, Konoha had dug out all the information it needed to, and the Raikage was no longer of any use to Konoha.

Even though this war didn't last long, not even four months, it was worth it for Sakura.

Her name was successfully spread in this war. If it weren't for the Akatsuki organization causing trouble, Sakura believed that the Hidden Cloud Village would not be able to invade again within twenty years.

At that time, Sakura believed that with her own abilities and the fully grown Naruto and Sasuke, it would be easy to expand Konoha's territory to the entire ninja world.

As for the Will of Fire that Sakura wrote before?

Just take a look at it. If you really believe it, go to hell. Whoever believes it is an idiot.

Even a Tsuchikage is so difficult to deal with, let alone the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki.

Sakura believed that as long as Konoha showed any intention of expanding outward, he would immediately turn against them.

After all, no eggs are left unbroken when the nest is overturned. Even though there is no such saying in the ninja world, any smart person should understand this truth.

It is impossible for the Iwagakure Village to compete with Konoha with the strength of one village alone.

Leaf root
The dark one-eyed old man sat in his office.

Compared to the darkness and depth of the roots, Shimura Danzo's office appears bright and clean.

Although he is the leader of the root, he always misses his high position.

At this moment, Danzo Shimura was holding a slightly yellowed test paper in his hand, carefully looking at every stroke on it.

This was the examination paper that Haruno Sakura took when she graduated four or five years ago. He still has it well preserved to this day and takes it out to look at it from time to time.

That pink-haired girl was really to his liking.

Even though there were some contradictions at first, in Shimura Danzo's view, this was actually a manifestation of toughness just like himself.

When faced with an invitation from the teacher's political enemies, he immediately sought the teacher's protection.

This is how normal people behave.

Danzo Shimura would not take this contradiction to heart.

Now, this Haruno Sakura is shining brightly on the battlefield of the Frost Country, which makes him even more excited.

What a good kid...

It's a pity that he followed that old guy Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If he followed Danzo Shimura, within ten years he would be able to use Haruno Sakura's strategy to push Konoha to the pinnacle of the ninja world!

What a pity, what a pity...

As he stroked the words on the test paper, Shimura Danzo's face couldn't help but become solemn.

Now he is under house arrest by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Mito Kado En has taken over as the front-line commander of River Country.

Shimura Danzo didn't care about this, but it was a pity for those military achievements...

Kakuzu...

boom!
When Danzo Shimura thought of this, he couldn't help but punched the desk hard.

hateful!

"Somebody come!"

Shimura Danzo spoke.

"Lord Danzo."

A Root member with a striped mask on his face instantly appeared in front of Shimura Danzo.

"Put a bounty on Kakuzu in the underground black market immediately."

"The bounty is 70 million taels!"

"At the same time, form an intelligence team to search for information about Kakuzu, Hoshigaki Kisame, and the mysterious organization that Uchiha Itachi is a part of!"

With Danzo Shimura's authority, he was able to find out the news that appeared in Konoha after the Sand Village teamed up with Orochimaru to attack Konoha.

Today, Kakuzu, Hoshigaki Kisame, and Uchiha Itachi are all wearing black robes with red clouds. It's easy to tell that these people are in the same group.

Kakuzu, the ninja who once tried to assassinate the Shodaime Hokage.

Hoshigaki Kisame, a ninja who killed his companions and defected from the Hidden Mist Village.

There is also an Uchiha Itachi.

These three people were all S-rank rebel ninjas, and they almost told everyone that there was a mysterious force hiding in the dark of the ninja world.

Now such a force seems to be ready to surface at any time.

"Yes!"

The Root members took their leave and Danzo Shimura looked at the test paper in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Now that he was restricted by Sarutobi Hiruzen, many of his movements were hampered. If it were under normal circumstances, it would be fine.

But now at this critical moment, we are restricted.

Need to break through...

"They're back!"

At the gate of Konoha, almost all the villagers were crowded here, and everywhere you looked were villagers with smiles on their faces.

Some people even scattered flower petals on the avenue, and a specially arranged salute team began firing cannons.

The staff responsible for maintaining order could only smile bitterly as they stopped the emotional citizens on both sides of the road.

Flowers paved the road, cannons blasted, and people came to welcome them.

Sakura followed Jiraiya step by step towards the extremely familiar Konoha Avenue.

Looking at the petals floating on the ground in the wind, Sakura couldn't help but think deeply.

With so many flowers, the flower shop of the Yamanaka clan should make a lot of money, right?

"What did you see?"

"Sakura."

Jiraiya led a large army through the gate of Konoha, and the crowd cheered and welcomed their hero.

"There are quite a lot of people."

Sakura responded to Jiraiya's words.

"I mean, what did you see?"

Jiraiya has become accustomed to Sakura's deliberate nonsense.

This girl was the most outstanding person he had ever seen in his life, both in terms of ability and character.

He was already amazed by Minato Namikaze at first, but he pales in comparison to the child beside him.

For Jiraiya, Sakura's only shortcoming is that her ideas are a bit radical.

But it doesn't matter, he can teach her well and change Sakura into what he wants her to be.

“I saw people and flowers.”

Sakura followed Jiraiya calmly, still not answering him directly.

Kakashi followed the two of them silently and watched everything.

Obito, did you see it?
I gave everything for this.

Why……

Passing through the Konoha Avenue where flower petals are flying all over the sky, at the end of the road are a group of Konoha high-ranking officials led by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Jiraiya brought everyone to Sarutobi Hiruzen with a relieved smile on his face.

At this moment, the burden of his position as a front-line commander was finally lifted.

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

In public, with all the villagers looking at him with admiration, Jiraiya naturally would not jump out as usual.

"Okay." Sarutobi Hiruzen, wearing the Hokage's divine robe, looked at the tall Jiraiya in front of him, smiled and patted Jiraiya's shoulder, then looked at the pink girl beside him.

"Sakura, you did great."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was truly satisfied with this last disciple whom he accepted at the age of 65.

After saying that, without waiting for Sakura to reply, his withered hand with age spots pressed on the soft pink hair.

Sakura wanted to dodge, but seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of her, she didn't dodge after all.

The old man in front of me seemed to have aged a lot in just these few months.

Haruno Akechi and Haruno Meiko, who were standing not far away, looked at their daughter with eyes full of satisfaction.

While my daughter’s excellence is worthy of praise, a new problem arises.

Will I be able to get married in the future?
My daughter is so outstanding, so perfect, and so beautiful. Which boy will be worthy of her in the future?
Looking at the current Konoha, it seems that none of Sakura's peers are worthy of Sakura?

Could it be that Sakura will never get married?
Sakura didn't know that when she was not even thirteen years old, her parents had already started considering major life events for her.

Looking at the rare well-behaved pink-haired girl in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but feel very happy.

I have grown up...

The tender new sprout has now grown into a big tree that can shelter from wind and rain.

However, at this moment, the pink-haired girl's green eyes looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of her and became more and more unhappy.

No, old man, how long are you going to rub it?
I'm almost bald from being rubbed!
“Uh haha!”

As if he had noticed Sakura's dissatisfaction, Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed, then walked to Sakura's side, wanting to bend down and hold the child's hand as he did before.

But at this moment, he found that he no longer needed to bend down if he wanted to grab her hand.

With a smile on his face, Sarutobi Hiruzen grabbed Sakura's hand and raised it high in front of everyone's eyes.

The noisy crowd seemed to be muted, and at this moment everyone was looking at the old man and the young.

"This battle!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was not loud, but it seemed to spread throughout Konoha. All the villagers listened to Sarutobi Hiruzen's words quietly, and even the cat that caught a mouse in an unknown corner raised its head.

The mouse that was pinned under its claws was about to escape, but was pinned to the ground by its other claws.

"Konoha 60 years!"

"The Sand Ninja teamed up with the rebel ninja to attack Konoha, and at the same time, the Kumogakure invaded!"

"Twelve years ago, we lost our brightest talent."

"Now, we have the same dazzling talent once again!"

"And he successfully defeated the Fourth Raikage head-on in the battle with Kumogakure!"

"This is another rising star in our Konoha!"

"Her name is... Haruno Sakura!"

As Sarutobi Hiruzen finished his words, the crowd roared to the sky.

"Haruno Sakura!"

"Haruno Sakura!"

"Haruno..."

A woman with beige twin ponytails on a nearby rooftop was holding a bottle of wine, watching the scene from afar. A blush appeared on her cheeks. She drank the wine in the bottle and looked back at the tall Hokage Rock with blurry eyes.

Great grandfather, second grandfather...

That pink-haired girl seemed to have become what everyone expected her to be.

Pink petals fluttering in the wind passed by Tsunade. She looked at the petals and wanted to catch them in her hands. But maybe it was because of the alcohol or because she was a little drunk, the pink petals slipped away from her fingers and floated into the sky, mingling with the pink petals in the sky...

The black eyes, like everyone else's eyes, were focused on the girl.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth subconsciously, but he seemed to realize something and quietly withdrew from the crowd.

Sakura's excellence is Sakura's ability.

She is still the focus of everyone's attention, just like she was in ninja school.

But I'm not strong enough.

Although he had obtained the same power as Uchiha Itachi, Sasuke did not think that he could kill that man just by obtaining the same power.

I still need to become stronger, it’s time to practice…

Sakura tried hard to keep a polite smile on her face, as Sarutobi Hiruzen's sudden move caught her off guard.

She couldn't help but feel a little surprised as she watched the black-haired boy disappear into the crowd with her emerald eyes.

Sasuke?

To be honest, Sakura is not an emotional idiot.

But Naruto alone is enough to give Sakura a headache, let alone the red eye disease.

So Sakura could only pretend not to know.

I'm sorry, Sarada.

Just be reborn into someone else's family~~~
Your mother doesn't want you anymore!

And Uzumaki Pinzhu, reincarnate into someone else's family too!

It’s best to squeeze in with Sarada!
Let’s become brothers with the future Boruto!
Sakura continued to maintain her almost stiff smile, with no intention of catching up with Sasuke.

Night is like a curtain
No matter how lively Konoha is during the day and how excited the villagers are, it is extremely quiet at night.

Sakura rubbed her sore waist and walked out of the Hokage Building.

It's another whole day of meetings, and my butt is sore from sitting on the stool.

It's just a post-war summary, just a few words to go through the motions.

Sarutobi Hiruzen likes to talk a lot when he gets older, and Sakura gets a headache listening to him.

Looking at the sparse stars in the night sky, Sakura was about to go home in the dark. However, at a corner, a figure suddenly appeared and half-knelt down respectfully in front of Sakura.

"Sakura-sama."

"Danzo-sama invites you."

After two and a half years plus two years, Danzo came to him again.

Sakura looked at the Root member in front of her with an unchanged expression.

"lead the way."

Sakura now has the confidence to not be afraid of Danzo at all.

No matter what Danzo Shimura wants to do, Sakura has a way to deal with it.

Even if the opponent uses force, Sakura can turn the root upside down.

Sakura's graduation test paper was accidentally obtained by Danzo, and he even began to implement it in order to prevent Danzo Shimura from seizing too many resources and posing a threat to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had to use his greater power than Danzo to seize the resources that controlled Shimura Danzo.

This war started because of this.

Although Sakura accidentally put the blame on herself, there is no doubt that the plan was leaked from Sakura.

And Sakura really wanted to know what was going on with Kakuzu.

Following the guidance of the Root personnel, Sakura came to a secret basement. When she entered, what caught her eye was a huge underground space.

Although there are ancient pavilions and towers in this space, it is extremely dark. At first glance, one would guess that the people staying here are not good people.

A typical ambitious style.

Sakura followed the root member nonchalantly, her emerald eyes scanning the surroundings.

I was thinking about lighting a fire here. After burning it, would the ground collapse?

Just as Sakura was thinking of setting a fire with malicious intent, the Root member in front of her had already brought her to the door of an office.

"Sakura-sama, Danzo-sama is inside."
