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

Chapter 22 Determination

Chapter 22 Determination
The mountain wind was howling on the cliff, and the somewhat loose red hairband was separated from the cherry pink hair by the wind. When it was about to fly away, a white and delicate hand grasped it.

"Xiaoying, your idea is indeed..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen weighed his words, unsure how to evaluate "Haruno Sakura's Will of Fire".

"I know, Grandpa Hokage."

"Because Grandpa Hokage is quite old after all."

"If Grandpa Hokage has to worry about us juniors all the time, wouldn't it make us juniors seem useless?"

“So, I want to achieve it step by step.”

Looking at the serious look on the pink girl's face in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but remain silent and stopped himself from speaking.

The pink hair is all black when cut.

"Sakura..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the little girl in front of him, his eyes no longer cloudy as before, as if he had made an important decision.

"What's wrong? Grandpa Hokage?"

Sakura tilted her head.

The old man's slightly dry lips moved a little, and the words he spoke made the girl's emerald green eyes like gems slightly widen.

Great success!
Sakura weighed the purple scroll in her hand and felt that the huge rock pressing on her heart finally fell steadily to the ground.

The sword of Damocles hanging over my head was finally removed.

The unexpectedly great success was worth the effort she put into creating "Haruno Sakura's Will of Fire".

Yin Seal: The Art of One Hundred Heroes!
Get it!

It took him two full years to skip a grade from a civilian ninja school student to the sixth grade, and he successfully passed the graduation exam with a paper on the will of fire!
I am so strong!
At this moment, Sakura just felt relaxed all over, without the shackles on her body anymore.

Even the air seemed fresher and more comfortable to Sakura.

At this moment, Sakura just wanted to find someone to share her joy with, but this joy was destined to be buried in her heart and digested slowly.

Sakura kept jumping on the houses in Konoha, not knowing where she was going.

But does it matter?

It does not matter.

She just wanted to find a place where no one was around to vent.

After two years of hard work, she didn't have a single good night's sleep.

He was afraid that at any time, the Yin Seal would be revealed and the Torture Department would capture him.

Sakura didn't know where she was. She just looked at the lake in front of her and thought the scenery was nice, so she stopped here.

Open the scroll in your hand with a special code that indicates top secret.

Lines of text appeared before her eyes.

It was like the most familiar stranger. Even though it was the first time she saw him in person, Sakura almost immediately understood the various meanings.

Sakura read it quickly and understood it quickly because this was knowledge she had 'forgotten'.

Theoretically, there is no shortcut to the Yin Seal. Only by accumulating chakra step by step can the practitioner gradually master it.

Closing the scroll in her hand, Sakura looked at the clear lake. Her face was reflected on the calm lake surface.

Pink carving and jade carving.

He picked up a stone beside him and threw it down. The ripples created shook, and soon returned to their original state again.

But this time, the face reflected on the lake was not as happy as before...

Sakura felt empty inside.

He had clearly obtained the Yin Seal, but after the joy, he did not look happy at all.

She thought of what Sarutobi Hiruzen had said to her before.

……

The old man moved his lips, and his eyes, which should have been cloudy, forced Haruno Sakura to not dare to look directly at him.

"Sakura, will you be my disciple?"

"The last disciple."

The pink ends of her hair fluttered in the wind, and Sakura couldn't quite believe what the old man said.

But after being in a trance for a moment, he spoke quickly and eagerly:
"I am willing!"

"master!"

……

Looking at the purple scroll in her hand, which was given to Sakura by Sarutobi Hiruzen when she said she wanted to become a ninja like Tsunade-sama, her emerald green eyes were a little dim at the moment.

Myself...is this cheating?

Is Sarutobi Hiruzen a good guy?

Sakura couldn't help but ask herself.

To his enemies, he was not.

To his political opponents, he is not.

But... Sakura pursed her lips. To her, he was indeed a very good elder.

Maybe he had some purpose, just wanting Naruto to have some kind of bond with Konoha, with himself being one of them.

But does it matter?

A gentleman does not care about his deeds.

Now, for the sake of the Yin Seal in his hand, he had deceived this old man.

This old man probably saw himself as the future of Konoha.

And he accepted me as his last disciple.

In this world, master and disciple, teacher and student are two completely different concepts.

Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura are teacher and student.

Jiraiya and Naruto, Tsunade and Sakura, are master and disciple.

One is an institutional arrangement, and the other is real inheritance.

Naturally, they are not the same.

In a sense, the master-disciple relationship is more solid than the blood relationship between relatives.

At this moment, Haruno Sakura stood up suddenly, and her pair of emerald green eyes looked fiercely at the lake in front of her.

Sakura knew that this might be stupid, self-righteous, or even inexplicable.

You put shackles on yourself and burden yourself.

The little girl in pink stood up, picked up a stone at her feet, and threw it hard into the lake.

According to common sense, how much power can a stone thrown by an eight-year-old girl have?

but……

The wind is roaring and the water is wailing.

The entire lake surface was directly stirred up by the stone, and with a crackling sound, a thick tree on the opposite side of the lake slowly fell to the ground.

A half-man-high stone behind the tree was broken into half by that stone!
This is a strange power...

Absolute violence.

The extraordinary strength bestowed by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Old man, since you think I can do it, then I will become the kind of person you think I can be.

"Ah?"

"Sakura!"

A surprised voice behind her brought Sakura back to her senses.

A golden-haired boy holding a fishing rod appeared in the field of vision.

"Naruto?"

“Are you fishing?”

Looking at the thing in the other person's hand, Sakura was a little surprised.

"Yeah, I didn't expect to meet Sakura here!"
