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

Chapter 317 The Ninja World is Full of Cilantro
The Cloud Village's Chakra Cannon is a product of technological data that Orochimaru obtained when he helped the Cloud Village during the Fourth Shinobi World War, and he independently developed it based on this data.

It can only be said that Orochimaru is indeed Orochimaru. The chakra cannon, which should have appeared three years later, has been brought out by him at this stage.

At this moment on the battlefield, the blue and white beams of destruction tore through the sky and engulfed the Naruto in an instant!

"Sakura!!!"

Sasuke, who was fighting Obito Uchiha, was startled by this scene and immediately withdrew, rushing towards Sakura without even looking back!
A chakra cannon shot instantly pierced through the entire battlefield, hitting Sakura squarely where she was being entangled by Kuoan Ruyan!

Sasuke only vaguely saw a golden glow flicker within the white light before it disappeared and was then swallowed up by the destructive white light!

Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene, and Hashirama Senju was completely dumbfounded.

This terrifying attack was so powerful that even his strongest defensive technique couldn't withstand it.

Now this...

He had no intention of taking the Fifth Hokage's life, but he never expected this turn of events to occur...

The beams of white light in the sky seemed to be the boundary between life and death; any being that stepped into this area would be instantly killed!

After an unknown amount of time, the white light in the sky finally disappeared completely...

Everyone watched this scene with tension.

Survive, survive, survive!
At that moment, Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan rapidly activated, instantly revealing the true nature of the Great God.

A figure stood in mid-air...

Sasuke watched this scene and subconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth. Faced with such a terrifying attack, Sakura survived as he had wished.

only……

The girl's appearance at this moment was far from unharmed. Her red and white tracksuit was almost completely destroyed, leaving only the black fishnet armor underneath. Her arms, which were used to defend against the chakra cannon, were covered with bloody wounds, and her whole body was shrouded in wisps of black smoke. Even her pink hair was curled up quite a bit as a result.

and……

Everyone present could sense that the vast amount of chakra that Hokage had possessed was now almost completely depleted.

Orochimaru was completely stunned by what he saw.

He knew the power of the Chakra Cannon better than anyone, and he never expected that such a powerful attack would not kill his junior sister.

"Sakura!"

Sasuke immediately rushed towards Sakura's direction.

Not only Sasuke, but even Obito Uchiha rushed over.

This is a golden opportunity to kill the Hokage. If we miss this chance, we may never have another chance.

"Sakura!"

"You can stop now."

Seeing that Sakura had survived, Hashirama Senju breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then strode forward and spoke calmly.

He clearly sensed that the girl was just like an ordinary person at that moment.

She had almost exhausted all her chakra in order to withstand that attack.

"what you up to?!"

Sasuke saw Hashirama Senju striding towards him and immediately stepped in front of him, looking at the man with a wary expression.

"Sakura!!!"

A golden light streaked towards them from afar, clearly indicating that Naruto had also witnessed what had just happened.

Naruto looked at the girl who was half-crouching helplessly on the water's surface, and trembled as he tried to reach out his hand, but he silently withdrew his hand halfway out.

"Sakura."

At that moment, Karin had also arrived at Sakura's side and, without hesitation, rolled up her sleeves and offered her wrist to Sakura.

Her meaning was self-evident.

Sakura looked at the fair wrist in front of her, but instead of opening her mouth, she reached out and grabbed the other person's hand, using Karin's body to support herself as she stood up.

Her gaze fell on Orochimaru in the distance, then shifted to Hashirama Senju, who was being blocked by Naruto and Sasuke.

Orochimaru is going to die, but at this moment his importance is second only to Hashirama Senju.

"Close hand?"

"I don't want to hear any more of Hashirama Senju's pointless talk."

"There is only one way to stop me."

"That means killing me."

Sakura's words were so resolute that Hashirama Senju couldn't help but show an indescribable expression on his face.

He didn't understand why things had to go this far.

At that moment, Naruto's expression suddenly changed.

"So that's how it is, the enemy of my enemy is my friend..."

Naruto spoke instinctively.

"Huh? What?"

While remaining wary of Hashirama Senju, Sasuke noticed Naruto's change.

"It's nothing, Karin, you take Sakura away."

"Leave this to Sasuke and me."

Hearing Naruto's words, Sakura seemed to realize something and gave Naruto a deep look.

"Okay, Karin, let's go."

After saying that, Karin hesitated for a moment, glanced at Naruto, and then said:

"Naruto, watch out!"

Then he quickly ran towards the shore with Sakura.

Upon seeing this, Obito Uchiha slowed his pace slightly.

Hashirama Senju had no intention of killing this Hokage; he simply wanted to correct the Hokage's course back to the right path.

If I were to assassinate the Fifth Hokage myself now, I would have to face Hashirama Senju first.

That being the case...

Obito Uchiha subconsciously exchanged a glance with Madara Uchiha, whose face was gloomy beside him.

Just as Naruto and Sasuke stood in front of Hashirama Senju, the two quietly slipped out of everyone's sight.

……

"Looks like we should get going."

Orochimaru's expression was rather unpleasant at that moment.

The original plan was to kill the Hokage with a single shot, but unexpectedly, even a chakra cannon of this magnitude failed to kill him.

I need to keep a low profile from now on.

Just as Orochimaru was about to leave, a figure blocked his way.

"Wait a moment, Orochimaru-senpai."

A figure blocked Orochimaru's path.

"Minato, you're still the same as ever."

"Of all those present, besides the Fifth Hokage, you are the most troublesome one."

Orochimaru looked at Minato Namikaze in front of him and chuckled.

"If this is a compliment, then I'll accept it."

As soon as Minato Namikaze finished speaking, two more figures landed beside him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Itachi Uchiha.

"Orochimaru."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Orochimaru with undisguised killing intent in his dark eyes.

The Five Dynasties were the ones who inherited everything from him.

He would never allow Sakura to be in the slightest danger.

What just happened has proven that Orochimaru has the ability to severely injure or even kill the Fifth Hokage, and he carried it out without hesitation.

Therefore, Orochimaru must die!

"Three people?"

Orochimaru watched this scene with a light laugh, but then pointed his finger in the direction of the Konoha troops who had been there earlier.

"Instead of caring about me, why not care about your..."

"Where is the Two-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Orochimaru's words sent a chill down Hiruzen Sarutobi's spine, and he instinctively glanced in the direction of the Frost Country forces, at the Two-Tails' chakra...

Disappeared.

"Is this also part of your conspiracy?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth as he looked at his once most prized disciple.

"This isn't my problem..."

"But..."

"Nine-Tails, it's time to hand it over."

At that moment, a man in crimson armor appeared before everyone, his pale purple, wavy eyes fixed on Minato Namikaze. Madara Uchiha!

-

Just as the situation was rapidly changing due to Sakura's departure, Karin began treating Sakura's injuries.

At this moment, Sakura didn't care about her injuries. Compared to her injuries, she had more important things to do, and her consciousness sank into her inner world.

Blue sky, white clouds

She appeared once again in this city where there was only one person.

"I never expected it to happen at a time like this."

Sakura calmly looked at Risaku, who was sitting on the edge of the building's rooftop. The last time they met, Risaku was just like this.

That remains true even now.

"Who says it's not?"

Ryou stood up at the edge of the rooftop and turned to look at Sakura in front of her.

"But that chakra cannon is really powerful."

"It hurts a little when you hit me."

Riying rubbed her arm, somewhat dissatisfied.

Sakura could feel it all, and she also personally experienced the pain of being hit head-on by the chakra cannon.

"Can't you even bear this little bit of pain?"

Sakura responded calmly.

The pain I suffered the first time I soaked in the Immortal Pool of the Wet Bone Forest was comparable to this one.

The outside world only sees his physical condition as slightly worse, but the main problem is that he has overused his chakra.

As long as enough chakra is restored, that minor injury can be quickly healed.

After all, Sakura is the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world.

As long as you don't cut off her head, even if she's cut in half at the waist, you can revive her with full health as long as you put the two pieces of her body back together.

"Can't I even complain a little?"

"I just never expected that Orochimaru would be the one to fire a shot at me in my final moments."

Rissaku was somewhat dissatisfied.

Sakura fell silent as she listened to the other person's ambiguous words.

She was unsure how to respond to those words.

"correct."

"Once you wake up, you'll have to go and kill Orochimaru."

"Damn it, I've been annoyed by that snake for a long time."

Ryou approached Sakura and took her hand.

"Well, definitely."

Sakura nodded in agreement.

"Oh right, and there's also Hashirama Senju!"

"Damn you, you old fogey! I'll make him plow the fields for me!"

"Cultivate 10,000 mu! No, one million mu!"

"Isn't he supposed to have a lot of chakra? He's not allowed to stop until his chakra runs out. Once it's all used up, feed him the secret-recipe soldier rations!"

"Go farm, you son of a bitch, grow cilantro!"

"Let's plant cilantro all over the ninja world!"

"996, that's not right!"

"997!"

"Resurrect his wife too, and let her grow cilantro with Hashirama Senju!"

"You just stand there with the whip and watch. If he hears it, give him a lash!"

"Beat him to death!"

"And there's more..."

Ryou was rambling on and on in front of Sakura when a cool sensation fell into Sakura's hand.

A pink dagger, entirely formed from Hidden Sakura's Yin Release chakra, was placed in Sakura's hand by Hidden Sakura. While chattering, Hidden Sakura grabbed the hand that was holding the dagger...

"Also, what if Naruto has children later?"

"Let Might Guy be Boruto's teacher!"

"Non-flammable material? Get the hell out of here, you bastard!"

"Every day, I must shout 'Youth' ten thousand times and run ten thousand laps around Konoha!"

"besides……"

A glaring crimson stain spilled from the corner of Rissaku's mouth.

A streak of crimson blood trickled down her lips, dripping onto the ground, drop by drop…

The pink blade had already pierced into Risaka's abdomen.

With her last bit of strength, Risaku gripped Sakura's hand that was holding the blade tightly.

"And...what else..."

The pink headband that held the girl's hair up was blown away by the wind, and her cherry-pink hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

She looked at Sakura, whose face was calm, and gently touched her face with her blood-stained hand.

"What else?"

Sakura looked calmly at Risaku in front of her.

"And...I'm super handsome..."

"Ha ha……"

"Kidding."

Riyo stepped forward, and the blade she was holding completely entered her body.

A pair of slender arms wrapped around Sakura's waist, and Rissou buried herself in Sakura's embrace, greedily inhaling the unique scent of the young girl.

"besides……"

"I will always love you..."

"..."

The girl held Sakura tightly, and although she was already extremely weak, her arms were surprisingly strong.

Enveloped in pink fluorescent light, Sakura calmly observed everything.

At this moment, his entire inner world began to tremble as Ryou Sakura gradually disappeared.

At some point, Sakura was left all alone on the rooftop of the building.

Sakura looked up at the blue sky above.

Cracks appeared in the sky.

Pink cracks.

One after another.

With the passing of Sakura Haruno, the world that held all of Sakura Haruno's Yin Release chakra began to collapse.

What is chakra?
It is a combination of a ninja's physical and mental strength.

Physical strength represents Yang Release, while mental strength represents Yin Release.

In other words, everything in this inner world is Yin Release chakra.

To prevent her body's will from being overwhelmed by this unparalleled Yin Release chakra, the Rei-Sakura was born.

Risakura is a firewall created by the body's self-protection mechanism.

Now, the body has enough strength to support this enormous Yin Release chakra.

Therefore, the role of firewalls is becoming less and less important.

It eventually disappeared gradually; now it's just that this process has been accelerated.

Gazing at the palm stained with a touch of crimson, a strange glint flashed in her emerald eyes.

"You really are handsome..."

The crimson shard in her hand, tinged with pink fluorescence, transformed into a speck of light and drifted towards the sky above...

The pink speck of light drifted into the crack in the sky...

At that moment, the sky seemed to burst open like a dam breaking!

Countless pink Yin Release chakra, like the sea, instantly flooded this inner world!
Sakura calmly watched this scene, letting the pink seawater engulf and submerge her...

Meanwhile, outside, Sakura's body was undergoing changes that Karin found incomprehensible...

Countless pink chakra threads emerged from Sakura's body, tightly wrapping her up like a silkworm cocoon, forcing Karin to retreat...
