Chapter 198 Poor Sakura

When Sakura Haruno is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind for everyone present is her two teammates, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.

Aside from that, all she has is her decent chakra control.

As for her academic excellence during her time at the Ninja Academy, people didn't pay much attention to it.

To put it bluntly, the ninja world is a place where strength speaks volumes.

No matter how good Sakura's theoretical knowledge is, if she can't transform that knowledge into her own strength, then that knowledge is completely useless.

Look at Naruto, he always came in last place in the theory exams, but now he's grown into a ninja with considerable strength.

Compared to Naruto and Sasuke, Sakura seems rather ordinary.

Just when everyone thought Sakura would continue to be mediocre, they were surprised to hear the light screen announce that Sakura had become Tsunade's disciple.

Tsunade has very high standards. Sakura caught her eye and was even taken in as her disciple, so her future achievements are sure to be remarkable.

At the very least, they would be qualified medical ninjas.

"But Tsunade is still out gambling, so if she doesn't return to the village, how will Sakura become her apprentice?"

"This is indeed a problem."

Touching his chin, Jiraiya silently pondered how to get Tsunade back to the village and to accept Sakura as her apprentice.

As the Hokage, the Fifth Jiraiya was unwilling to see a promising ninja wasted.

Moreover, this is a medical ninja, a rarity even in the ninja world.

"How about we bring Tsunade back in the name of the Second or First Hokage?"

Jiraiya muttered to himself, somewhat uncertainly.

The reason for the uncertainty is Tsunade's fiery temper.

If she finds out that I tricked her into coming back using her great-grandfather and great-uncle's names, I might get a couple of good punches from her.

Just thinking about Tsunade's fists made Jiraiya's ribs ache slightly.

"No, I can't take the blame for this."

Thinking of this, Jiraiya's expression turned serious, and he looked at the Third Hokage with a very solemn expression, saying, "Old man, you probably don't want to see such a promising talent as Sakura wasted, do you?"

The Third Hokage didn't know what Jiraiya was thinking, but as the Third Hokage of the village, he naturally didn't want the village's promising talents to be wasted.

"Of course I don't want that for Jiraiya. Do you have a plan?"

Jiraiya nodded, feigning a troubled expression, "Yes, I have a way to bring Tsunade back, that is..."

The Third Hokage, as expected, took the bait and quickly asked, "What is it?"

"I just need to borrow your name for a bit."

"In my name? What good is that?"

The Third Hokage seemed puzzled?

If his name were so effective, Tsunade and Jiraiya wouldn't have left the village back then.

"Of course it's useful, old man. Don't underestimate yourself. In the hearts of the three of us, you will always be our teacher. We all respect you very much. If you don't believe me, ask Orochimaru."

After saying that, Jiraiya turned his head and frantically winked at Orochimaru.

"Didn't you just say that if it weren't for Tobirama-sensei, I would have been killed by Orochimaru? That he would respect me? You must be kidding me."

Faced with the Third Hokage's disbelief, Jiraiya immediately explained on Orochimaru's behalf: "Orochimaru only wanted you to die like a hero. He couldn't bear to see his incomparably brave teacher die in a sickbed. Don't you think so, Orochimaru?"

"Yeah?"

The Third Hokage looked at Orochimaru with suspicion.

Under Jiraiya's frantically suggestive expression, Orochimaru suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and nodded in reply, "Jiraiya is right."

"Alright, if that's the case, then try coming back in my name and see if Tsunade will return. Anyway, I don't think she'll come back. Last time I asked her to come back, she didn't."

"Times have changed, old man. Don't worry, Tsunade will definitely come back."

"I hope so!"

[Once Sakura prepares the antidote and heals Kankuro, Gaara will already be dead.]

[Immediately afterwards, Sasori and Deidara were caught up by Granny Chiyo and the Konoha team.]

[With the enemy splitting into two groups, Sasori began a high-stakes battle against Chiyo and Sakura Haruno, a man and two women.]

"Is Sakura that strong? She can actually fight this puppet?"

In the office, Naruto watched Sakura about to fight Sasori through the light screen, his face full of admiration.

Because Sakura in the present world doesn't have Tsunade as her master, her strength is completely at the bottom among the Konoha Twelve.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

During the Chunin Exams, Sakura was able to fight Yamanaka Ino to a draw.

Now, Ino can completely overwhelm Sakura with her family's secret techniques.

Even with Sakura's presence, it's still not enough.

The gap in strength cannot be bridged by a mere second personality.

Among the twelve main characters, only Sakura Haruno and Rock Lee are truly ordinary people.

However, Rock Lee has Might Guy as his teacher, who guides him in his training, while Sakura Haruno has nothing.

Expecting Kakashi to teach Sakura?

He won't even teach Naruto, so why would he teach Sakura?

Therefore, Sakura in the present world is truly miserable; she has no background, no strength, and no real teacher.

"Why don't you teach Sakura, Mom?"

Naruto had a wild idea: he wanted his mom to teach Sakura.

In his opinion, with his mother's strength, even if Sakura couldn't reach the level shown on the screen, she would still be stronger than she is now, right?

"Don't worry, Naruto. Your perverted teacher is already trying to get Tsunade-senpai back. If that doesn't work, then let Sakura come and learn from me."

Kushina patted Naruto's head and did not refuse.

She knew that her son Naruto liked this girl named Sakura.

As far as she knew, Sakura liked Uchiha Sasuke, not her own silly son.

Fortunately, she wasn't a narrow-minded person and wouldn't stop teaching Sakura just because Sakura didn't like Naruto.

However, her approach is different from Tsunade's. If she were to teach, she would probably teach some general sealing techniques, and after learning them, one could work in the village's sealing class.

Their status, position, and compensation are all far superior to what Sakura is currently experiencing.

As for the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, forget about it. Unless she marries Naruto, she won't teach them even if you're her disciple.

Facing the duo of Chiyo and Sakura, Sasori swung his tail smugly, complaining that he didn't like waiting, but still gave Chiyo ample time to devise a strategy.

After learning about Sakura's abilities, Chiyo devised a strategy to use Sakura as a puppet, hoping to use Sakura's superhuman strength to pull Sasori out of Hiruko.

Under Chiyo's manipulation, Sakura dodged Sasori's Rain of Needles several times, and then, upon getting close, shattered the Hiruko hiding place behind Sasori, revealing her true form.

[At this point, the true form of the attractive streamer, Scorpion Green, was officially revealed to Sakura and Chiyo.]
