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

Chapter 74 The temptation to return to the village

Sky Canopy Array
Jiraiya once used this trick when he faced the Animal Path Pain's summoning army.

While preparing to enter the Sage Mode, he and Gamaken entangled with Pain's Animal Path when they were unfamiliar with the terrain.

Able to accurately perceive the complex terrain around at any time and remain stable during fierce battles.

It can be said to be a very practical skill.

However, rather than calling this technique a ninjutsu, it would be more accurate to say that it is a small perception barrier radiating from the body.

Sakura leaned against a tree branch and flipped through the scroll that Jiraiya had typed out overnight.

He is indeed a novelist, he wrote so many words in just one night.

It also thoughtfully notes the precautions and Jiraiya's own insights on this technique.

The afternoon sun shone on Sakura's pink hair. Sakura felt that she had made everything clear since her confession to Naruto yesterday.

As for what Naruto thinks...

Emmm...

Sakura couldn't change this stubborn person, and thought that after the Chunin Exams were over, she would regain the rank of Special Jonin, and then she would leave Team 7.

At that time, the mission of protecting Naruto was considered successfully completed.

By then, he would be able to form his own team because he had broken away from the Anbu.

Sakura thought of all the people, Karin was one of them. Although she could not use her physical healing ability now, her Kagura's mind was still very powerful.

There are two more tentative...

The name is Sakura Team~~
"Sakura!"

A crisp sound was heard under the tree. Sakura looked down and saw a girl with beige hair looking at her under the tree with her arms folded across her chest.

"Ino."

Sakura flipped over and fell lightly from the tree.

Ino turned her head and looked around, and found that the red octopus was not there.

"Hmm, where's that red octopus?"

Ino raised her thin eyebrows and looked at the girl in front of her, with a hint of unkindness in her tone.

"Oh, Karin, she has to report to the relevant department every day now."

“This point shouldn’t be over yet.”

Sakura scratched her head and looked at the girl in front of her helplessly.

She knew the other person's thoughts very well.

It's like the jealousy that is unique to girls, they want to grab everything no matter what it is.

Especially when I am her best friend.

Compared to Naruto, Ino is much easier to deal with.

Sakura knew that the other party only regarded her as a very good friend. Sakura couldn't help but feel fortunate that the orientation in this world was still normal.

Ino pursed her lips and looked at Sakura in front of her. She said with a hint of confusion in her tone:

"I heard that the red octopus stayed at Sakura's house these days?"

"That's true, but once Karin's residence permit is processed, the village will arrange a house for her."

"You are just staying in my house temporarily."

Sakura looked at Ino in amusement, who was clearly concerned but pretending to be nonchalant.

"Ino, there's no need to worry so much about Karin."

"Compared to us, the other party is... a person with more stories."

“She’s also a very good companion.”

Sakura chuckled and patted Ino's head.

Ino looked at Sakura's actions with dissatisfaction. Sakura was good in every way, but she didn't know why he always liked to touch her head.

Although this action was very intimate, Ino always felt something was weird.

"Humph, who is bothered by that red octopus?"

Ino looked at the smiling Sakura in front of her and couldn't help turning her head away. Then she secretly glanced at Sakura and said in a nonchalant manner:

"By the way, where are Sakura's, ahem, teammates?" Looking at Ino, whose thoughtful expression was clearly visible on her face, Sakura understood what she was thinking.

"Sasuke, he has been training with Kakashi all this time."

"After all, his next opponent is from the Sand Village, and he is a very powerful opponent."

Hearing Sakura's words, Ino suddenly became anxious.

"Who, who said it was Sasuke!"

"Eh? If it's not Sasuke, could it be Naruto?"

"…Okay, it's Sasuke."

-

"what!"

"I haven't been back for a long time!"

"I really miss it!"

A woman with short black hair and dressed in black, holding a pink pig, looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Konoha gate in front of her, and couldn't help but smile with emotion.

"Tsunade-sama!"

“You must miss it too!”

The black-haired emo woman looked back at the woman next to Asuma and said with a smile.

She had light golden twin ponytails, a purple diamond-shaped mark on her forehead, and was wearing a green coat with a big "gamble" on her back. Her beautiful face had not changed at all even at the age of fifty.

This person is the legendary three ninjas of Konoha, Princess Tsunade.

Tsunade looked at the symbol of Konoha on the Konoha gate in front of her, with a hint of complexity in her calm eyes.

"Tsk, who misses Konoha."

Tsunade calmly said this and walked towards the gate of Konoha first.

If the old man hadn't arranged for Asuma to come to her in person, she wouldn't have bothered to come back.

Anyway, as long as she stayed until the Chunin Exam was over, she would continue doing what she had to do.

The black-haired woman couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Tsunade, who said she didn't miss Konoha but walked into the gate of Konoha first.

She has followed Tsunade for so many years, how could she not know Tsunade's character.

You may say you don't care, but your body is very honest.

"This way my mission can be considered a success."

Asuma couldn't help but feel a little emotional as he looked at Tsunade's back.

Tsunade's significance to Konoha is far beyond the reach of Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas.

It's not that Jiraiya is not as strong as Tsunade.

But Tsunade's background, popularity, and significance cannot be replaced by Jiraiya.

As the granddaughter of the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, this fact alone almost represents absolute orthodoxy.

What's more, Tsunade's medical ninjutsu saved countless Konoha ninjas during the war. Konoha's medical system was also established by Tsunade. It is no exaggeration to say that any Konoha ninja has benefited directly or indirectly from Tsunade.

In addition, she is powerful and has a casual personality. She is the most beautiful rose in the Second Ninja World War. Both male and female ninjas highly respect Tsunade.

It is popular among both men and women.

"It's all thanks to Asuma."

The black-haired woman looked at her companions of the same period, and a hint of gratitude appeared in her eyes.

After being away for so many years, she has long missed home.

"Shizune, come here quickly!"

Tsunade's dissatisfied shouts were heard from afar.

"Oh! Here we come!"

The black-haired woman whom Tsunade called Shizune then quickened her pace to catch up with Tsunade.

Gang Zitie and Kanzuki Izumo, who were in charge of guarding the gate of Konoha, looked at the figure in disbelief.

At this time, even Lady Tsunade has returned...

　Today is Hashirama Senju's birthday. I never paid much attention to it before. After all, Hashirama gives people the impression that he has the power to suppress everything. He is not the kind of person who cares about birthdays.
