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

Chapter 212 The Lost Tower
"Where is this place..."

In the vortex attic, the green-haired girl was lying on the floor with lifeless eyes.

"Hey!"

"Can you please stop pretending to be so... um..."

"That's it anyway!"

Feng looked with dissatisfaction at the cold woman who was standing at the window not far away and fiddling with flowers and plants.

Feng has been here for nearly half a month for unknown reasons.

Ever since being defeated by the unknown Uchiha with the Sharingan, Feng has no memory of what happened afterwards, and has appeared here since he woke up.

Apart from someone delivering meals every day, I have never seen anyone here except the woman over there.

It’s not that Feng doesn’t want to run, but that he can’t run.

Not only was a chakra seal engraved on his body, but he could not even sense the Seven-Tails within his body. However, it was not just himself that was affected, as even the Seven-Tails was suppressed by some powerful sealing technique.

"It keeps people at a distance."

The wooden man looked at the peony that was growing vigorously under his careful care, and couldn't help but stretch out his finger to lightly touch the pistil.

"Yes, it is like that!"

Feng sat up from the floor, crossed his legs and looked at the woman.

I have to say, Yumuren is really beautiful.

Even Feng, who is also a woman, couldn't help but admire it.

After being captured and brought to Konoha three years ago, he had nothing to do all day. Yu Mu Ren found a bag of flower seeds in some corner and then spent his time fiddling with flowers and plants every day to pass the time.

After three years of self-cultivation, the once impulsive and irritable Youmuren has smoothed out his edges.

If one saw the current Yukito at first sight, one would only think that she was a well-educated princess of some noble family, and would never think that she was the Jinchūriki galloping on the battlefield.

"So, what's the point of me wanting to chat with you for a few minutes?"

Putting down the shower head in his hand, Yu Mu Ren looked at the girl who was suddenly thrown over some time ago.

By now, Yu Mu Ren already knew the outcome of the war three years ago.

Not only did the Kumogakure suffer a crushing defeat, but even the Raikage died at the hands of Haruno Sakura.

But she could only watch all this.

Now she is no different from a canary in a cage.

"Emm...how about we run?"

Seeing that You Mu Ren was willing to pay attention to her, Feng couldn't help but quickly move closer to him.

"Do you think this will reach the Hokage's desk?"

Yu Muren felt a little bored with this naive guy.

"Ah...why is this like this..."

Feng sat down helplessly, supporting his cheek in distress.

After taking a look at Feng, You Mu Ren didn't pay much attention.

An innocent girl who is in the midst of conflict but lives in her own world.

Yu Muren knew that the other party was thrown here by Konoha's people, and must be a Jinchūriki like himself.

But she had no interest in getting to know the other person.

Even if they understand each other, they are just a pair of pitiful people who sympathize with each other and complain about themselves.

-

In the Hokage's office, Sakura looked at the daily report on the Two-Tails and the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki in her hand and nodded with satisfaction.

Ever since Feng was kidnapped by Sakura and her men, she has been left in the Uzumaki attic.

Stay with Yukito.

As for the idea of ​​replacing Jinchūriki...

Sakura hasn't thought about it this way for the time being. She doesn't know when the Three-Tails will be resurrected, but one thing is certain: once the Three-Tails is resurrected, that will be the time for Akatsuki to take action.

Changing the Jinchūriki at this time would do no good except causing trouble for yourself.

They tied them both up and provided them with good food and drink every day.

If you replace the Jinchūriki, in addition to providing him with good food and drink every day, he also has to worry about the risk of the tailed beast going berserk.

Moreover, Konoha currently has no suitable candidate for Jinchūriki.

Emmm...

When Naruto gets married, let him have two babies and give one to each of them?
Sakura touched her chin and felt that this was totally possible.

"What are you looking at?"

A large stack of documents was unhappily dumped on the desk in front of Sakura.

"Thank you for your hard work, dear~~"

"After you've dealt with it, remember to check if there are any slacking off in each department."

"Pay special attention to the barrier class."

The chair beneath her drove Sakura to slowly rotate, and Sakura thanked the Hokage whom she dug out to work for her after his death.

"..."

"What about you, what do you do?"

Senju Tobirama was speechless for a while, then looked at Sakura, who seemed to be thinking about something but was actually just slacking off.

The seat under his butt was still rotating slowly and methodically with the newly appointed Hokage.

"I?"

The seat she was sitting on stopped, and Sakura looked towards Senju Tobirama with a matter-of-fact look on her face.

"If I have to handle everything, what's the point of having so many people?"

“I’m giving them a chance to exercise.”

"Yes."

At last, Sakura nodded affirmatively.

When Senju Tobirama heard this, his face darkened slightly. He glanced at the documents in his hand, then looked at the empty desk in front of Sakura.

"So you're also taking this opportunity to train with me?"

Sakura looked at Senju Tobirama in surprise, with a strange look on her face:
"Why do you think so?"

"You are my Second Hokage!"

"Do you need more exercise?"

"I'm telling you, you've been buried underground for decades, so you must be unclear about Konoha's current situation. I'm giving you a chance to get familiar with Konoha."

???

Senju Tobirama's head was full of question marks.

I, the Second Hokage, need you to give me a chance to get familiar with Konoha?

When I was in power in Konoha, your father was still breastfeeding!
Just as Senju Tobirama was about to explode, there was a knock on the office door.

"Enter."

Sakura secretly made a "yeah" gesture and spoke directly.

This made Senju Tobirama feel a little aggrieved.

"Hokage-sama, this is an urgent report from the border."

A staff member quickly handed the report to Sakura.

At this moment, there was no trace of Senju Tobirama in the office.

Sakura looked at the report in her hand, raised her eyebrows slightly and revealed a look of interest.

This is a report from the border ninjas from the Land of Fire and the Land of Rivers.

A rebel ninja from Sand Village fled to the territory of the Land of Fire, and now the Sand Village's pursuit force has been blocked by border ninjas.

The Sand Village hopes to join forces with Konoha to hunt down the rebel ninja.

Three years have passed since the Ninja World War, and the five major ninja villages are all quietly licking their wounds.

Moreover, Konoha has signed a non-aggression treaty with Sunagakure, and if Sunagakure wants to enter the Land of Fire to hunt down the rebellious ninjas, it must get Konoha's approval.

Although it was just an agreement on paper, the Sand Village, which had not yet recovered its strength, could only make a humbly request.

Looking at the name of the Sand Village rebel in the urgent report in my hand...

Centipede.

"Tell the Sand Village that Konoha will not allow rebellious ninjas to roam around. They can enter the Land of Fire."

"But Konoha will also send a team to hunt this person down."

"If anything unexpected happens at that time, Konoha will not be responsible."

Sakura dropped the report in her hand, stood up and spoke.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

The staff member was shocked when he heard this and hurried down to convey Sakura's order.

"What, are you interested?"

As soon as the staff left, Senju Tobirama appeared again.

"Someone, tell Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Uzumaki Karin to gather at the Konoha gate!"

After passing down the order first, Sakura looked at Senju Tobirama with a smile on her face.

"During this period of time, please ask my Second Hokage to take my place for a while."

???

"You want to do it yourself?"

Senju Tobirama frowned and looked at Sakura.

As the Hokage, leaving his post without permission was too much.

"Who said that? I was just taking a walk outside."

“It’s not like we went to other countries.”

"Peace of mind."

"Gan na~~~"

With a goodbye, Sakura rushed out of the window without waiting for Senju Tobirama to react and disappeared without a trace.

"This is really..."

Senju Tobirama's hand, which was trying to stop the opponent, was still frozen in mid-air.

Is this the rebellious period of teenagers?

Even so, Senju Tobirama also knew that Sakura was sometimes out of tune, but she was not the kind of person who would just do anything.
But what is it about this centipede that can attract a being of Sakura's level?

But he is just a traitor ninja from Sand Village.

What virtue and ability could attract the Fifth Hokage to come in person?
Especially at this time, Yamanaka Inoichi was learning the Dragon Life Reincarnation and Kakashi was learning Izanagi.
As for the Sand Village?
Senju Tobirama didn't take it to heart at all. He was just the youngest of the five major ninja villages. What was there to take seriously?
-

Konoha main entrance

Naruto, Sasuke, and Karin have already gathered at the gate, waiting for the arrival of the last person.

"You're so slow, Sakura."

Naruto complained a little as he leaned against the heavy door frame.

"Shut up, Naruto."

"Sakura must have her own things to do,"

Sasuke on the side wiped the ninja sword in his hand and spoke calmly.

"Hi hi hi hi"

"Originally, I wanted to wait for Sakura to complete the Hokage ceremony and go to Kame Island to continue training."

Naruto rested his head on his hands and looked at the white clouds in the sky.

After training on Kame Island for such a long time, he made no progress in training the tailed beasts, especially with Sakura and Jiraiya accompanying him all the time.

This also put him under great psychological pressure.

Facing other people's expectations, I disappoint them again and again.

This made Naruto very uncomfortable.

"Then we can go with you next time."

A familiar voice came from his ear, which made Naruto turn his head to look.

Sakura was no longer wearing the Hokage robe, but was wearing her usual red and white sportswear, and was walking towards this side.

"Sakura?"

"what do you mean?"

Naruto looked at the newcomer with some surprise.

"Sasuke's Sharingan and Karin's Kagura's Heart's Eye can both help you to a certain extent."

"On the contrary, it seems that I am useless except for suppressing the rampaging Nine-Tails."

Sakura's words made Naruto a little anxious.

"not like this……"

However, Sakura interrupted Naruto and said calmly:
"I'm not complaining, I'm stating a fact."

"Sasuke and Karin can indeed help you to a certain extent." "Naruto, when you complete your training with the tailed beasts, you will be my last shadow guard."

!

Naruto showed a look of surprise when he heard that.

Although the Shadow Guard is only responsible for the Hokage's safety, it can be described by another name.

The heir to the position of Hokage.

If Sakura resigns, the next Hokage will first be considered among Sasuke, Naruto, and Karin.

"Great!"

Naruto couldn't help but cheer.

"This guy is really satisfying..."

Karin looked at Naruto and curled her lips.

She was not interested in anything about Naruto.

As long as I can stay by Sakura's side, that's enough.

Sakura looked at the cheering Naruto, her brows forming a crescent shape.

To be honest, Naruto's current strength is actually enough, but it just won't last long.

The fairy chakra accumulated by the two shadow clones can make Naruto a real man for ten minutes.

Ten minutes later, I'm sorry for being born a human being...

Under normal circumstances, Naruto's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique combined with the Rasengan is actually quite powerful.

But that is only limited to ordinary ninjas. Facing the people from the Akatsuki organization, this set of skills is simply not enough.

As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto must master the power of the Nine-Tails.

"Okay, let me tell you about this mission."

Sakura took out the prepared information about the centipede and motioned for the three people to come over.

"Eh?"

"From the Sand Village?"

Naruto looked at the information about Centipede on the scroll with some surprise.

"That's right, this time we have to..."

"I will definitely catch him!"

Sakura was interrupted by Naruto before she could finish her words.

"Hear me out."

Without hesitation, Sakura gave Naruto a slap on the head and continued:
"Our mission this time is not to catch him."

The pink-haired girl gave a mysterious smile, which made Karin and Sasuke a little confused.

Taking out a small map from her ninja tool bag, Sakura pointed to a place called Loulan in the Kingdom of Wind.

"We need to drive the centipede here."

Sasuke frowned at the spot Sakura was pointing at.

"This is the Kingdom of Wind... If we go there, will it be possible..."

Sasuke seemed to be hesitant to speak.

In fact, he and Karin can enter the Kingdom of Wind.

But Sakura and Naruto are different.

Sakura is the Hokage and Naruto is the Jinchuriki.

What does it represent for these two people to enter the Kingdom of Wind together?
The Hokage brings the Jinchuriki into the Kingdom of Wind?

It's just horrifying, isn't it?
"Don't worry about it, but he's just a Sand Ninja, so what if he knows?"

Compared with the dragon vein, the Sand Village is obviously not that important.

And even if she caught the Centipede, Sakura had no interest in returning it to the Sand Ninja.

Apart from anything else, the fact that Baizu was able to build Loulan, a barren place in the desert, into a prosperous city in just six years is enough to prove his talent in architecture.

He is simply a genius in civil engineering.

Fenghana Nutao was already working diligently for Konoha in the rear, so Sakura naturally couldn't let him go.

Moreover, even the daimyo is in Konoha at this moment, which means that the wealth of the whole country is gathering in Konoha, and the expansion of Konoha is imperative.

At that time, the importance of centipede will be revealed.

Seeing Sakura like this, Sasuke didn't ask any more questions.

Three years ago, Sakura had already suppressed all the major ninja villages to the point where they could not raise their heads, and now her strength is obviously even stronger.

Sasuke's worries were unnecessary.

Long before, Sakura had already informed the border ninjas to allow the Sand Ninjas to pass.

Now that the Sand Ninjas have entered the Fire Country, what will happen if the Konoha Ninjas enter the Wind Country?
-

"damn it……"

In a corner of the River Country, a middle-aged man with Mediterranean features leaned against a tree and gasped for breath.

The Sand Ninjas and Konoha are hunting him down, and now he has no way out.

His whereabouts were clearly visible under Konoha's sophisticated intelligence system.

but……

Baizu was physically and mentally exhausted, yet also a little confused.

The ninjas from Konoha that were chasing him were ridiculously strong.

But even so, the other party still did not catch him directly, and seemed to be forcing him towards the Kingdom of Wind.

On the third day after entering the Fire Country, he was forced out of the Fire Country by the Konoha team.

The other party neither caught him nor let him go. Their purpose was clear, which was to drive him to the Kingdom of Wind.

"Oh, the dirty tricks of a big country?"

"I am just a temporary pawn of Konoha who wants to achieve a certain goal."

There was a mocking smile on Baizu's face, and at this moment a shuriken whizzed over and nailed directly into the stone beside him.

The seemingly extremely hard stone was directly pierced through by the shuriken!
This shows how powerful the person is!

Baizu looked at the shuriken and his expression changed slightly.

Damn it, you want the horse to run but you don’t give it grass!

But even so, the centipede struggled to get up and had to rush towards the Wind Kingdom again.

"That's quite interesting."

Not far away, Sakura looked at the man who continued on his way and smiled with satisfaction.

"Sakura, his chakra is almost running low."

Karin, who was standing next to her, pushed up her glasses and spoke.

"Tsk, what a waste."

"Let him rest for a while then."

"By the way, what is the current situation of the Sand Ninja who entered the Land of Fire?"

Sakura frowned slightly, obviously very dissatisfied with Baizu, but considering that Baizu was a civil engineering genius, Sakura was a little patient in this regard.

"That group of Sand Ninjas are heading towards the eastern part of the Land of Fire due to the deliberate interference of the intelligence team, almost going in the opposite direction from us."

Karin looked at the latest information sent by Ninja Hawk and responded to Sakura.

"Well, let them go around in circles in the Fire Nation."

……

Yellow sand filled the sky, the sun was scorching

The man gasped and looked at the ruins in front of him. A look of surprise appeared on his face, but then it became heavy.

here it is……

Loulan!

His original destination!
He didn't expect that the people of Konoha would force him here.

What is this...

Even though Baizu felt something was wrong, there was no turning back at this moment.

The people from Konoha were right behind him, and without caring about the other centipedes, he rushed straight into the ruins of Loulan, ready to open the dragon vein and jump into the turbulence of time and space to completely get rid of the people from Konoha.

And Sakura's team, which followed closely behind, also successfully arrived here.

Looking at the ruins, Sakura's expression remained unchanged, giving Baizu enough time to open the dragon vein.

In fact, Sakura was not worried at all that she would get caught in the turbulence of time and space and cause problems.

Because she grew up smoothly from the beginning without any accidents.

It's like a time paradox, where a person cannot travel through time to kill his grandfather and prevent his own birth.

Because if you killed your grandfather, you would not be able to be born, and if you were born, you would not be able to kill your grandfather.

And according to Baizu's nature, even if the opponent didn't know that it was Sakura who was chasing him, but based on Sakura's performance on the battlefield, the opponent would never let him go, and Konoha had not had any problems in the past few decades.

This also means that the centipede was doomed to fail from the very beginning.

In this case, since we already know that it will succeed, there is nothing to worry about.

Just as Sakura was thinking, a torrent of purple chakra suddenly rushed into the sky!
"That is!"

Karin's expression suddenly changed as she looked at the terrifying chakra torrent in the distance.

Before this, she had never sensed the existence of such a huge amount of chakra!
"let's go."

"Come in."

With that, the four members of the team rushed towards the chakra torrent.

Is this Sakura's goal?
Sasuke followed behind Sakura and couldn't help but think about it.

It is impossible for Sakura to take action personally with just one centipede, and she was just chasing the centipede instead of capturing it all the way, which obviously confirmed that Sakura had other purposes.

Now it seems that this is Sakura's goal.

The four members of Sakura's team arrived in front of the surging torrent.

"Hahaha, you bastard from Konoha!"

"I'm leaving first!"

"The next time we meet, I will rule the world!"

A dark shadow was faintly revealed in the purple torrent, and the other party's arrogant words did not cause any emotional fluctuations in Sakura.

"Let's hold hands and not be separated."

He then grabbed Karin and Naruto's hands, and Naruto also held Sasuke tightly.

The four of them leaped forward and entered directly into the torrent of dragon chakra.

As soon as you enter the chakra torrent, your vision is filled with purple chakra that looks like substance.

It's like jumping into a waterfall flowing upstream.

But even so, Sakura and the other three still fell towards the source of the dragon vein.

"Sakura!"

Feeling the dragon chakra washing over her body, Karin gritted her teeth and spoke.

"Hold on to me."

Holding Karin's hand tightly, Sakura's Yin Seal on her forehead was instantly released!

A huge amount of chakra surged out from the Yin Seal, forming a barrier to protect everyone as they rushed towards the origin!

Today, the Yin Seal has become a simple chakra storage for Sakura, because currently, no one can hurt Sakura.

And because of the transformation of Yang Release, Sakura's own chakra volume is enough to rival that of a Jinchūriki.

Following Sakura's lead, the four of them fell directly into the dragon vein origin filled with purple liquid!
If you want to subdue the dragon vein, you need one person.

Namikaze Minato.

To be precise, it was Minato Namikaze from twenty years ago.

He can seal the dragon vein by himself.

And with the cooperation of Karin, who has also studied sealing techniques for three years, the success rate is not low.

Even though there is a possibility of failure, how do you know if you will succeed if you don't try?

-

46 years of Konoha

Loulan
Accompanied by the sound of breaking glass, a figure broke through the window and rushed out.

"Who!"

"Who has nothing better to do than smash my window?"

Following the roar of a middle-aged woman, Sakura's originally calm expression froze slightly. She looked around, saw that there was no one around, and turned around and ran away.

It's so abominable. Who is so lacking in public morality as to smash someone's window? If I catch him, I will make sure he is punished!
what?
Did I smash it?

That's okay...
