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

Chapter 78: Wind Shadow Arrives
The night is like a curtain, the moon is bright

On the roof, the cold night wind ruffled the man's long black hair, and a pair of golden snake eyes calmly stared at the Hokage Rock in the distance.

Orochimaru raised the wine glass in his hand towards the bright moon in the sky and drank the clear wine in the glass.

He doesn't like drinking because alcohol would paralyze his nerves and make him make wrong judgments and analyses of things, but today, for some reason, he suddenly felt like having a drink.

"I didn't expect someone like you to drink alone."

A dark figure appeared at some point, looked at the man in front of him and spoke gloomily.

"Elder Danzo is still thinking about me, a traitorous ninja from Konoha. Are you going to arrest me?"

Orochimaru looked at the old man who suddenly appeared in front of him with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

Danzo, with his one-eyed face wrapped in a bandage, ignored Orochimaru's ridicule and just came to sit next to Orochimaru. He glanced at the extra wine glass, poured himself a glass, and took a sip.

"Hehe, don't say unnecessary words. What are you going to do next?"

"Jiraiya, all Tsunade have returned to the village. Your plan has been stillborn."

"That new Sarutobi disciple is obviously not someone to be trifled with. Not even you can take her down."

Danzo turned the wine glass in his hand and looked at the man in front of him, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, as if he was responding to Orochimaru's sarcasm just now.

"Today, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Haruno and Sakura are all at Sarutobi's residence, as are Kakashi and the others. Your apprentice is also here."

"You are the only one here drinking alone and feeling the cold wind."

"Do you regret what you did now?"

Danzo Shimura looked at Orochimaru who was unmoved, and a hint of evil smile appeared in his eyes.

"Who knows?"

"Besides, my Lord Danzo, as a fellow disciple of the old man, aren't you also here drinking alone with me and enjoying the cold wind?"

Orochimaru also didn't care about Danzo's ridicule. He just raised the glass of wine towards the bright moon in the sky, and a hint of confusion appeared in his golden vertical pupils.

"……snort."

Looking at the stubborn Orochimaru, Shimura Danzo snorted coldly, then curled his lips and said in disdain:
"There's not even a cucumber, and you just drink it like that. It's a pity you can drink it."

Then Shimura Danzo said to the air around him:

"Lyoma, go get two side dishes."

The air was slightly silent, and then he replied muffledly:
"Yes."

Sarutobi House

"cheers!"

Under the warm light, several hands raised their cups and clinked them together, but Sakura, Sasuke, Naruto and Konohamaru were holding orange juice compared to the others.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting in the main seat, drank the wine in the glass and looked at the people sitting in front of him, his eyes full of smiles.

As I get older, I don’t know how many times I’ll be able to see a scene like this where all my juniors gather together.

"Everyone should eat and drink. There is no Hokage or Sannin or anything like that today."

"Just be happy."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked the short beard on his chin and looked at the people at the table with a smile.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen was obviously worrying too much. No one present really cared about his identity as Hokage. Tsunade and Jiraiya didn't mention it either. Asuma was his son, Red Bean was carefree by nature, and Kakashi had always been a lazy person.

Even if Sakura and Naruto are not mentioned, Sasuke is always very serious in his daily life.

And Konohamaru...

Only Shizune sat quietly beside Tsunade, pouring wine for her.

Jiraiya drank the wine, a blush appeared on his cheeks. He looked at Hongdou who was fighting with Konohamaru for the chicken leg not far away, a trace of regret appeared in his eyes, and he spoke unconsciously:
“What a pity~~~”

"What a pity! I have chosen a path that I must complete even if it costs me a lot, even if I have to kneel down to finish it."

Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya who was sitting opposite her. As a friend and teammate for decades, how could she not know what Jiraiya was thinking. Orochimaru and she had also been friends for decades.

But Orochimaru chose to betray, so Tsunade, as the granddaughter of the Shodaime, had nothing to say to Orochimaru.

Kakashi glanced at Tsunade and Jiraiya and felt a little overwhelmed. He was really not good at dealing with this kind of situation.

However, it was a rare occasion for all his fellow disciples to gather together, so he couldn't help but come.

"What are you thinking about?"

Asuma, who was beside Kakashi, clinked glasses with Kakashi.

"No, I just thought there might be more people in the future?"

Kakashi turned his head, quickly took off his mask and drank the wine in one gulp. His movements were quick and smooth, and it was obvious that he was very familiar with this routine.

"Hahaha, this is inevitable."

"After all, these little guys will grow up in the future."

"I am also going to accept disciples like you."

Asuma couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the three little ones, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura, beside him.

"Damn Sasuke, this last fried shrimp is mine!"

The blond boy looked at the black-haired boy next to him and stretched out his chopsticks to mix with the other party.

"I was the first one to reach for my chopsticks, but I'm the last one!"

Sasuke also entangled with Naruto without showing any weakness, and the two of them used their chopsticks back and forth.

"Sasuke!"

"Naruto!"

Sakura opened her emerald eyes and looked silently at the two people beside her who exuded a strong bond (gay love) even while eating.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, he couldn't help but sigh that Naruto's cooking skills are indeed very good now.

If Naruto opened a small restaurant in Konoha, then Ichiraku Ramen would probably have to close down.

At this time, Sakura knocked Konohamaru's head with a knife, looking at the kid with a little dissatisfaction and said:
"How old are you? You are not allowed to drink."

Apparently Konohamaru was trying to sneak a taste of the wine while no one was paying attention to him.

"Hi, Sakura-sister..."

Seeing his plan fall through, Konohamaru could only apologize helplessly.

It’s okay for other people, but this pink-haired tomboy in front of him will really beat him up.

next day
It's a rare good weather.

Gang Zitie and Shen Yue Chu Yun welcomed a special guest today.

"Hello, please show me your pass."

Gang Zitie looked at the man in front of him with short brown hair and a white robe. He spoke politely, but his eyes involuntarily fell on the man wearing a Sand Ninja forehead protector behind him.

The man glanced at Gang Zitie and waved his hand nonchalantly, his whole body exuding the aura of a superior.

The ninjas behind the other party immediately handed their passes to Gang Zitie.

Looking at the personnel information on the pass, Gang Zitie's eyes widened slightly...

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.

And three Wind Shadow Guards…

"Please come into the village. I will go inform the Hokage-sama."

Gang Zitetsu winked at Kanzuki Izumo, then quickly rushed to the Hokage Building in the center of Konoha.
