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

Chapter 337 Extra Chapter: Sakura Haruno's Story (Part 2)

Sakura just looked at Sakura, watching everything she went through.

He followed Tsunade to learn medical ninjutsu and superhuman strength, just like before.

But Sakura is no longer the lovesick, infatuated girl she used to be.

Having gone through the transition between life and death, she gained a clear understanding of what she needed.

She also began to learn the most important techniques of her life.

Yin Seal - Hundred Healing Technique.

Sakura sighed upon seeing this.

Although Tsunade is excellent, she is clearly not as good as Jiraiya in guiding disciples.

Even though Jiraiya didn't take Sakura as his apprentice, he still discovered Sakura's talent for Water Release and chakra control techniques.

But forget it.

Being able to train Sakura to become a Six Paths support within three years is a great success.

Meanwhile, Naruto was preparing to travel to the ninja world with Jiraiya.

When Sakura learned the news, she went to the gates of Konoha to see Naruto off.

Looking at the returning girl, Sakura raised an eyebrow and said:

"Aren't you going to say anything more?"

Sakura had already gotten used to having such a presence by her side, and simply said calmly:

"It's not like it's a matter of life and death, what can we say?"

Sakura has definitely changed.

It becomes more reliable and stronger.

At least she wouldn't have said something like that before.

"But Naruto's gaze was practically fixed on you when he left."

Sakura continued speaking.

Sakura remained silent.

She knew perfectly well what Naruto felt for her.

but……

She doesn't want to deal with these things right now.

All I think about is getting stronger, stronger, stronger.

Sakura walked alone on the streets of Konoha, heading towards the hospital.

Sakura looked at her.

There was some vague expectation.

Or to be more precise, this shouldn't be considered an expectation at all, just like turning to the last page of a book and seeing the last two words.

to be continued.

With this in mind, Sakura just wanted to know what would happen next.

Naruto is special to this world because he is the protagonist.

For Sakura, Sakura is special because in Sakura's eyes, Sakura is the protagonist.

But Sakura can easily control this world.

Therefore, Sakura is the main character.

……

……

……

Time flies by like water, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Sakura has also become a sixteen-year-old girl.

Unlike the sharp and capable outfit in the original work.

Over the past three years of spending time with Sakura, Sakura has unconsciously started to learn Sakura's fashion sense.

Black ninja pants, black fishnet armor, and a white sweatshirt with a pattern that looks like leaping flames.

Her shoulder-length pink hair was tied into a neat braid.

Sometimes, when Sakura looks at Sakura like this, she is reminded of a long-forgotten time that has passed by countless years.

Although Sakura was just a clone, she knew everything about the original body.

Although the original body is now almost 100,000 years old, it has become the number one leftover fighter in the universe.

But the most important and profound memories will always be those short thirty years.

Looking at Sakura, who was already skillfully treating the injured in the hospital, Sakura's gaze became somewhat unfocused.

These are days she can never return to.

"Alright, go back now. Don't let water come into contact with the wound for the next month."

Sakura comforted the injured and spoke gently.

"Thank you, Dr. Sakura."

The injured person expressed their gratitude to Sakura, and Sakura politely smiled back.

"You've been acting strange lately."

"And he was always staring at me."

Sakura took off her white coat and walked towards the hospital's lounge.

"Didn't I say I wouldn't leave until you're dead?"

Sakura waved her hand dismissively.

Sakura remained silent, went to the lounge, and unabashedly took off her clothes in front of Sakura, revealing her youthful figure, before changing into her casual clothes.

Sakura was already used to Sakura's presence.

Anyway, I've been seen naked countless times, and in a sense, it's all the same person, so there's no need to care.

Well, it's just that Sakura can't drive Sakura away.

Even for a girl, who wouldn't mind being stared at for three years?
God knows how Sakura has been doing these past three years?!
Furthermore, Sakura doesn't want anyone else to see her; only Sakura herself can see her.

Sometimes when people talk to Sakura, they always look at her with strange eyes.

Tsunade was so shocked she thought Sakura had a split personality!

Especially since this kind of presence could only be seen and heard by herself, Sakura felt as if she had a female ghost following her!
Even though this female ghost is quite pleasing to the eye!
"I think Naruto will be back today, right?"

Sakura floated beside Sakura and whispered teasingly in her ear.

"Ah."

Sakura calmly responded as she walked down the hospital corridor.

This made the passing nurse take a second look.

Sakura's started again, talking to herself...

Lady Tsunade doesn't do anything about it...

Sakura didn't know exactly when Naruto would arrive in Konoha, so she didn't plan to go to the village gate to meet him.

She was on her way to the Hokage Building to discuss her training plans with her master, Tsunade.

In terms of medical ninjutsu, she quickly became the top expert in Konoha Hospital, second only to Tsunade, at a speed that was difficult for others to match.

Even Shizune is no match for Sakura in medical ninjutsu.

This shows just how incredible Sakura's knowledge and mastery of chakra are.

After all, most medical ninjutsu works directly on the human body.

Even the slightest deviation could be fatal to the patient, making the control of chakra extremely demanding.

only……

I had just stepped out of the hospital and crossed the street corner a few steps when I heard a familiar voice echoing down the street.

"I!"

"Naruto Uzumaki is back!"

The boy's voice, accompanied by the other's energy, echoed in the sky above Konoha, causing Sakura to stop in her tracks.

Wow, so early?

"Naruto?"

"Is that Naruto?"

Looking at Naruto, who was still wearing his usual drab yellow tracksuit on the distant telephone pole, Sakura unconsciously smiled and waved to him.

"Sakura!"

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar pink figure not far away, Naruto's eyes flashed with amazement. He quickly jumped down from the telephone pole and ran to Sakura in a few quick steps.

"Sakura!"

"Long time no see!" Naruto looked at the girl in front of him, who had changed so much, and said with a mix of restraint, shyness, and excitement.

"Yeah, you too, Naruto."

"You've grown quite a bit taller since I last saw you."

Looking at the boy in front of her, Sakura felt a pang of emotion.

Keep in mind that three years ago, Naruto was shorter than her.

"He was only 1.66 meters tall at sixteen."

"Definitely a short person."

Sakura chimed in with her own comments.

"Hehe, because of the lecherous immortal."

"I've been through a lot in these three years!"

Naruto grinned foolishly and shook his head.

"So, in these three years, Naruto, do you feel that I... have changed in any way?"

Sakura looked at Naruto, her gaze drifting to the side.

"no!"

"Sakura is still the same as before!"

Naruto immediately gave Sakura a thumbs up, leaving Jiraiya speechless.

This guy really doesn't understand women...

Sakura's face fell upon hearing this, and at that moment, Konohamaru arrived at the scene.

Watching the interaction between the people in front of her, Sakura felt a little bored.

Amidst a playful scuffle, Naruto demonstrated his latest technique.

An improved version of the art of harem management.

This left Sakura speechless, but she carefully examined Naruto's harem technique.

It has to be said that, aside from other things, this kid has certainly developed quite a bit of harem skills during the three years he's been following Jiraiya.

This made Sakura suspicious of Jiraiya's sinister intentions.

Amidst a surge of thoughts, Sakura's gaze seemed to inadvertently drift to the corner at the edge of her vision.

Hinata...

"Naruto-kun..."

The black-haired girl with the white eyes, her face flushed, hid around the corner, too embarrassed to show herself.

Seeing Naruto again after three years made Hinata's heart flutter like a deer.

Hinata's appearance made Sakura reminisce about the past like an old man.

In the world where Sakura lives.

After the battle with Kaguya Otsutsuki, Hinata has been living alone ever since.

After learning that Naruto and Karin were getting married, Toneri Otsutsuki, who was on the moon, proposed to her.

Because of the power of the Tianhe Empire, Otsutsuki Toneri directly married into the Hyuga clan.

Anyway, he's the only person on the moon.

The two of them made do with each other for the rest of their lives.

Hinata and Toneri's offspring are also quite outstanding, only one step away from reaching the Six Paths level.

Sakura didn't have any particular thoughts on this.

The Hyuga clan raised Hinata, so what can be done if Hinata herself is not ambitious?
The idea that one's talents cannot be fully utilized because they are not well-fed is utter nonsense.

Hinata can only be described as having excellent eyes.

Physical gifts are not outstanding.

The ability to draw white eyes is heavily dependent on physical talent.

Overall, the Byakugan is essentially an auxiliary tool for the body; it cannot directly harm enemies with its eye power like the Mangekyou Sharingan.

In the end, Hinata, like many ordinary daughters of powerful clans in history, married Toneri in exchange for Toneri's fighting prowess.

There's nothing to regret.

The Hyuga clan raised her, nurtured her, and gave her the opportunity to become the head of the Hyuga clan, even though she later became the head of the Hyuga clan because of her relationship with Toneri Otsutsuki.

But in that respect, it's already very fortunate.

She did not carve the Caged Bird like her sister, Hinata Hanabi.

It is worth mentioning that more than two hundred years after the founding of the Tianhe Empire, due to the corruption and embezzlement within the imperial system, a certain greedy head of the Hyuga clan used the Caged Bird Seal to exchange for power, thus freeing the Hyuga branch family from the shackles of the Caged Bird Seal.

Sakura had no regrets about the fall of the Tianhe Empire.

Even though she was the one who built this vast empire.

Even if his own sister and future descendants were all slaughtered.

None of those people were innocent. Since they had enjoyed power and luxury for three hundred years, they naturally had to pay the price.

A vast empire, without external enemies, will fall into endless internal strife.

This is a common problem among humans.

Even though Hashirama Senju suppressed the world for two hundred years with his Six Paths body, the empire collapsed rapidly within a hundred years after his death due to long-standing problems, and wars broke out everywhere.

The war lasted for ten years, the empire collapsed, and it was plunged into endless war once again.

Furthermore, due to the rapid development of technology, ordinary people also have the ability to kill ninjas, resulting in a larger scale of war, more deaths, and even the number of participants in the final battle, including soldiers on the battlefield alone, reached nearly five million.

The original Fire Kingdom was almost destroyed by various weapons. It took nearly five hundred years for the Fire Kingdom to recover.

After two hundred years of peaceful development and abundant resources, the population of the entire ninja world experienced an explosive growth.

In the year Hashirama Senju died, the population of the ninja world reached an all-time high of five billion.

No empire in later generations could surpass the population of the Tianhe Empire.

Sakura felt a little sad and regretful.

Sakura didn't regret the fall of the empire or the deaths in the war; she only regretted not being able to see her younger sister one last time.

The first thing I did after waking up was to look up information about the entire ninja world.

According to written records, he was still talking about himself before he died.

Returning to her senses, Sakura shook her head.

I feel like an old man right now.

When I have nothing to do, I like to reminisce about the past.

When Sakura came to her senses, she and Naruto had already arrived at the training ground.

They were going to have another drill with Kakashi here, this time about stealing the bell.

Even though there were only two of them this time, Kakashi prepared two bells.

Last time, the bell act was a test of Team 7's teamwork, but this time it's simply a test of Sakura and Naruto's abilities.

"Well, it's still only two, just like before."

"And Sasuke isn't here this time."

Sakura remained calm as she listened to Kakashi's words, simply nodding peacefully.

Naruto, however, felt a little sad.

Kakashi glanced at the pink-clad girl without realizing it.

Sakura had seen how much Sasuke liked her, and he spent almost all his time on Sasuke, which was one of the reasons why he hadn't paid much attention to Sakura before.

I never expected things to turn out like this...

"Kakashi-sensei, if you're not going to take action, then I won't be so polite."

Sakura calmly raised her palm, and before anyone knew it, a pair of special gloves had appeared on her hand.

His palm was like a knife, and a buzzing chakra hissed from the blade.

Kakashi's expression turned slightly serious upon seeing this.

A chakra scalpel?
If you get hit by this thing, you're done for.

However, Sakura did not rush up to fight Kakashi in close combat as he had expected.

Instead, he raised his hand high and, to Kakashi's disbelief, brought it down.

The chakra surged violently at that moment.

Almost instantly, the entire earth was cleaved in two by this hand chop!

Not only that, even the woods next to Kakashi were not spared!
One strike, and the earth is cleaved in two!
Kakashi and Naruto were speechless.

"Interesting, a combination of chakra scalpel and superhuman strength?"

Jiraiya stood not far away, arms crossed, admiring the pink-clad girl in the distance.
