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

Chapter 308 The Soon-to-Disappear 'Sakura'

Temari died in battle, Onoki died in battle, Deidara died in battle, Kisame Hoshigaki died in battle, Hiruko died in battle, Sasori died in battle, Nagato died in battle, Konan escaped, Obito Uchiha escaped...

The battlefield in the Land of Rain alone has already shattered the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Rain.

Under the gloomy sky, Sakura sat down to rest for a while, while Sasuke reported to her about the missions in the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth.

"well done."

Sakura nodded.

"come over."

Sakura waved towards the festival in the distance.

The brown-haired girl hesitated for a moment, then timidly approached Sakura.

"I have to go now. You will return to Konoha with the troops to rest and recuperate."

"Konoha will treat you like their own son."

Sakura looked at the festival in front of her and said.

"Where are you going?"

Ji hesitated for a moment.

"Go where I am needed."

The girl in pink stood up and looked at the distant sky.

Even though the Land of Rain is often shrouded in rainy weather, one can still sense that it is getting late.

Only the clouds that had been destroyed by Deidara's C4 Garuda were gradually healing again, and golden streaks of sunset were becoming smaller and smaller in the sky and earth, gradually closing in and disappearing.

At this moment, Sakura needs to rush back to Konoha and use the Flying Thunder God Formation within Konoha to reach the battlefield in the Land of Frost.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi has already been resurrected by Orochimaru using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, so there must be other powerful Impure World Reincarnation users.

Even Uchiha Madara.

The power of Konoha in the Land of Frost alone is insufficient to resist these people.

Sakura has to go there herself.

Furthermore, Tobirama Senju, Tsunade, and Hikaru Uchiha will also join the battle.

"Karin, Sasuke, Yukito."

"let's go."

After calling out to Yugito, who was directing the troops to clean up the battlefield in the distance, the four of them disappeared from the land of the Rain Country.

-

Land of Fire

Konoha
Hokage's Office

At this moment, Konoha's defensive strength has dropped to an all-time low, but even so, the Second Hokage is still in charge.

At this moment, Tobirama Senju's expression was very unpleasant.

Intelligence from the Frost Kingdom battlefield has been urgently transmitted back through special channels.

Dozens of renowned masters from the history of the ninja village have appeared through the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

If it weren't for Uchiha Shisui of the Uchiha clan using Kotoamatsukami to forcibly alter the control of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Itachi Uchiha, the situation would probably have collapsed.

Even so, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who alone could hold off the combined forces of the two Raikages (A and B) and the Gold and Silver Brothers, was still no match for the four skilled fighters.

Itachi Uchiha barely managed to hold off the Second Mizukage, the Second Tsuchikage, and Kakuzu using Susanoo.

Even so, the frontline troops were still pushed back to the border of the Land of Fire.

If this continues...

Meanwhile, Uchiha Hikaru and Tsunade had already been dispatched by Senju Tobirama to hunt down the Sky Ninja Force, which was located far off the coast of the Land of Fire.

"Tsk..."

Tobirama Senju was somewhat annoyed.

Even so, he did not regret sending Uchiha Hikaru and Tsunade to hunt down the Sky Ninja Squad.

Konoha was even more important than the frontline troops.

Currently, Tobirama Senju is the only skilled fighter in Konoha.

"Someone is coming."

Tobirama Senju sighed, then took out his set of azure armor from the Hokage's office break room and put it on.

At this critical moment, the Fifth Hokage has personally arrived on the battlefield.

So how could he, the Second Hokage, retire to the background?

"Tobirama-sama."

Uzuki Yugao, who was always on standby, quickly appeared in front of Senju Tobirama.

"Tell Mitokado Homura to stop living a life of leisure and come out to temporarily take over Konoha."

"Once Uchiha Hikaru and Tsunade return to Konoha, immediately have them use the Flying Thunder God Formation to go to the front lines of the Land of Frost."

"After delivering the two to the battlefield, the Flying Thunder God Squad returned to the village immediately, ready to await Godai's return at any time."

Tobirama Senju glanced at Yugao Uzuki, left only a few words, and then disappeared.

After Tobirama Senju disappeared, Yugao Uzuki immediately rushed towards Homura Mitokado's residence.

Meanwhile, Sakura was already on her way back.

The enormous Susanoo raced through the sky, hurtling towards Konoha at breakneck speed.

At this moment, Sasuke already possessed the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and his eye power was sufficient to support his flight over extremely long distances.

Sakura, Sasuke, Karin, and Yugito are all inside the crystal on the forehead of Susanoo.

Sakura quickly took this opportunity to recover her chakra while also focusing her mind on her inner world.

Blue sky, white clouds, skyscrapers.

It remains a deserted modern city.

No, it should be a modern city with only one person.

Sakura had a premonition about Risakura's situation, and she needed to specifically ask Risakura about it.

At this moment, Riyo sat alone on the rooftop of this towering building, hundreds of meters above the ground below her.

If an ordinary person were sitting here, even without a fear of heights, they would definitely be terrified.

"You came."

As if sensing Sakura's arrival, Risaku spoke without turning her head.

A cool breeze from high above ruffled her long pink hair. The usually lively and unruly Risaku was unusually quiet at this moment.

"what's wrong with you?"

Sakura stood behind Ryouko, watching her back.

"what happened?"

"Didn't you already guess it?"

Risaku is Sakura, and Sakura is Risaku.

These things are inseparable, no matter what. Sakura knows, and Risaku knows too.

What Sakura knows, Sakura also knows.

Only when Sakura and Sakura meet each other can they be considered as two separate consciousnesses.

Sakura's special trip here was undoubtedly unnecessary in Risaku's eyes.

"Around when?"

Sakura fell silent for a moment after hearing this.

"It could happen at any time."

"Maybe decades, maybe now."

Riying sat on the top floor of the building, swinging her legs, looking completely unconcerned.

"However, at this rate..."

Rissaku looked at her palm.

It's gotten weaker again...

Less than two hours had passed since her battle with Obito Uchiha, and she could feel that her power had weakened further.

"My existence is solely for the purpose of protecting us."

"Protect this body."

"Just like Sakura Haruno's Mind Transfer Technique when facing Ino."

"I am an aggregate of Yin Release techniques, while you have mastered Yang Release ninjutsu and are constantly getting stronger."

"Therefore, my existence is also disappearing at all times, and the power that disappears will be integrated into my body."

Sakura listened to Risaku's words with a calm expression.

She knew all of this.

Why did she come? Just to see someone she no longer had many chances to meet... herself.

Risaku turned around and looked at Sakura.

"What's that expression of yours?"

"When you chose to cultivate Yang Escape Technique, wasn't one of your goals to kill me?"

Sakura opened her mouth, somewhat speechless.

"Although I don't mind."

"After all, when I completely disappear, in a sense, I will truly have my own life."

Ri-Sakura walked up to Sakura.

The two stared at each other for a long time.

"In that case, I won't say much."

Sakura nodded, then disappeared into the inner world of this solitary being.

The existence of the inner Sakura acts as a firewall for this body; her powerful Yin Release allows her to avoid 99% of genjutsu.

Now, as Yang Release becomes increasingly powerful, the Hidden Cherry Blossom formed by Yin Release is gradually dissipating.

The opponent's Yin Release is being gradually eroded by Yang Release, eventually turning into Sakura's own Yin Release.

The creation of Yin Release: Mirage is one of the hallmarks of Yin Release that Sakura now possesses.

Especially after combining the information given by Hagoromo Otsutsuki, and with Sakura's deepening understanding of Yang Release, Yin Release, and Yin-Yang Release, this process was greatly accelerated.

It won’t be long…

This so-called inner world will crumble along with the passing of Risakura.

Sakura could foresee the moment when Ryou Sakura completely disappeared.

That is……

In the real world, Sakura slowly opened her eyes.

"what happened?"

Karin noticed Sakura's unusual behavior and couldn't help but ask her in a low voice.

"Nothing, where are we now?"

"We're almost at Konoha."

Karin's response made Sakura nod.

Sakura only felt a little sad about the impending disappearance of Ryou-sakura.

Just as Sakura herself said, Sakura is Sakura.

"When we return to Konoha, Sasuke, I'll help you restore your eye power."

Sakura looked at Sasuke, who was maintaining Susanoo.

There is a discrepancy between the time that seems to pass in one's inner world and the time that actually passes in the real world.

Just like in a dream, in a dream it feels like only a little time has passed, but often a whole night has already gone by.

Having just awakened the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke was still under some pressure as he flew back to Konoha, located in the heart of the Land of Fire, while maintaining his Susanoo in the Land of Rain.

Using Yang Dun is the fastest way to solve the problem.

"No need. Sakura's Yang Release needs to be used for more important things."

"I can recover on my own."

Sasuke shook his head, rejecting Sakura's suggestion.

Sakura didn't say anything, just quietly watched the ground rushing backward beneath her feet.

The battle in the Land of Rain has ended.

All that remains of Iwagakure is yellow soil and black soil, while all that remains of Sunagakure is Maki and Kankuro.

If there are no external enemies, it is still possible for them to rise again for several decades, relying on the foundation left by their ancestors.

but……

They have no time left.

Once the battlefield in the Land of Frost is resolved, the entire ninja world will be Sakura's for the taking.

After the war, the so-called aristocratic class was already on the verge of collapse.

Even a desperate last stand is nothing more than a final struggle.

Everything is about to come to an end.

The ninja world does not tolerate idlers.

Every enemy standing opposite Sakura will become a dead soul under her fists.

This ninja world, unchanged for millennia and shrouded in lifelessness, will be revitalized with its own unique vitality.

At that time, a peace that can be seen with the naked eye will come to the world.

A giant, hundreds of meters tall, sped across the lush forest, the wind it stirred up rustling through the trees.
