Chapter 280 Sakura Haruno

Jiraiya felt somewhat embarrassed.

He had just thought Sakura was a minor character when the screen announced that she was the female lead in "Naruto".

No, is there something wrong with this?

Jiraiya felt that there was something wrong with Sakura, the female protagonist.

Why is it that the female lead has so few scenes?

Moreover, whether it's the male or female lead, they should at least have some of the qualities of a protagonist, right?

Naruto may seem a bit dim-witted, but he's never confused in battle and often puts on some spectacular fights.

Naruto is muddle-headed about small things but reliable about big things.

But what about Sakura?

She doesn't resemble a leading lady at all.

If she hadn't been in the same class as Naruto and Sasuke, Jiraiya might not have even known that there was another ninja in Konoha.

All I can say is that Sakura was really useless in the early stages; from her character design to the plot arrangement, she wasn't very likable.

This side of Sakura puzzled not only Jiraiya, but also others who didn't know her.

Only those who truly understand Sakura, such as Tsunade and Kushina, know what kind of qualities she possesses.

After being assigned to classes, these three kids began a long love triangle—well, it began a long ninja career of teaming up to complete missions.

Sakura, along with Naruto and Sasuke—two overpowered young men—were assigned to the famous Hatake Uchiha school.

There were only four students in the whole class, and three of them were cheaters, so she naturally became the background character in the battle.

During the Chunin Exams written test, Sakura, who was surrounded by people with Byakugan, Sharingan, and insect-raising abilities, was completely bewildered.

[Finally, having run out of ideas, Sakura-chan somehow managed to unlock her full potential and solve the written test questions purely through intelligence—a true academic genius!]

Unfortunately, there's a vast chasm between theory and practice.

Sakura, who only possesses a slight intelligence advantage, will find it difficult to succeed in actual combat.

[During the practical phase of the Chunin Exams, in the Forest of Death, Sasuke was targeted by a group of Sound Ninja.]

These Sound Ninja were quite overpowered in the game's meta at the time; they immediately and brutally beat Sasuke and Naruto.

Despite their usual lovey-dovey interactions, these two are perfectly united in their determination to protect Sakura when it comes to crucial moments.

As expected, Sasuke and Naruto were both defeated and knocked out by the attacks of the three Sound Ninja.

Seeing that the three Sound Ninja were not only lacking in martial ethics but also trying to kill their own teammates, [the situation became increasingly dire.]

To protect her teammates, Sakura mustered her courage and picked up a kunai.

Sakura: Now it's my turn to protect you two.

"If Orochimaru hadn't knocked me unconscious beforehand, those three would have been beaten to a pulp by me."

Naruto was very unhappy about the battle, which he didn't remember much about.

After being knocked unconscious by Orochimaru's Five Elements Seal, he remained in a coma for the entire time.

When they woke up, Sasuke had already taken care of all three of them.

"Hmph, those three pieces of trash, they were still defeated by me in the end."

Sasuke was also annoyed to see the Sound Ninja on the screen.

If he hadn't been weakened by Orochimaru's cursed seal, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly.

Fortunately, the final outcome was good, so he couldn't be bothered to argue with the three of them.

Sack, King, Tos: Come on, if you've got the guts, come to the Pure Land and settle things with us properly, ugh~

"It must have been tough back then, right?"

"Yeah, my skills are too poor. I'm having a very hard time dealing with these three people."

Tsunade knew Sakura's strength.

Aside from some basic sealing techniques she learned from Kushina, Sakura was no different from an ordinary genin at this point.

Using the strength of an ordinary genin to deal with the three sound ninjas sent by Orochimaru, Tsunade knew without even looking at the light screen how difficult that battle was for Sakura.

"If you follow my instructions honestly, you too will grow into an excellent ninja."

"Yes, teacher!"

Having experienced the deadly battles with Zabuza and Haku, Sakura has begun to truly understand the role of a ninja.

[To succeed or to die trying.]

As a ninja, without the resolve to risk your life, you will never grow.

Her long, cherry blossom pink hair, grown specifically for Sasuke, was cut off to protect Naruto and Sasuke; her smooth, youthful skin was covered in wounds from protecting Naruto and Sasuke.

To gain an opportunity to attack, Sakura even endured a barrage of kunai shots, which finally gave her a chance to strike.

Unfortunately, Sakura lacked combat skills at this point, and this opportunity she had risked her life for didn't yield any significant results.

Despite her burning passion, Sakura was still easily defeated and humiliated by these elite-level Sound Ninja cannon fodder.

[It's worth mentioning that when Sasuke awoke from his coma, his newly activated cursed seal glowed brightly.]

The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and Erzhuzi did it again this time.

"Damn it, who is Erzhuzi?"

Sasuke was very unhappy with the nickname "Two Pillars".

"Hehe, don't be angry, Sasuke. I think the light screen UP wasn't wrong either."

"Orochimaru, what did you say?"

"Sasuke, don't be so fierce. Look, your name has the character 'suke' in it, and you're the second child in your family. Calling you 'Second Sasuke' makes sense, doesn't it?"

"Orochimaru, if you don't have a task, you don't have to force it. Do you know how awkward this is?"

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

Orochimaru wasn't angry at all. Instead, he replied with a grin, "Wait a little longer, and I'll give you a big surprise."

"A big job? How big can it be?"

"I guarantee it's a brand new version you've never seen before."

"Heh, then I'll wait and see."

Sasuke sneered. He wanted to see what kind of person his cheap master was.

[Upon waking up, Sasuke looked at Sakura and asked in his cold yet domineering voice.]

"Sakura, tell me, who hurt you like this?"

[A few nobody NPCs dare to beat up my Sasuke's wife? They're going to die!]

"My wife?"

Upon hearing what the light screen said, Sakura blushed instantly, her eyes filled with shyness as she looked at Sasuke.

Sasuke also blushed, which was unusual for him.

He already had a premonition when guessing "the concubine of the Crown Princess".

Hearing the light screen say this again, even the usually cold-blooded Sasuke couldn't help but feel his heart race.

"Haha, congratulations, Sakura."

Naruto approached Sakura with a grin, congratulated her, and then asked Sasuke with a teasing look, "When are you two getting married?"

"Get married?"

Before Sasuke could even speak, Sakura started stammering nervously.

"Yes, the light screen has already said that you two are a couple. I think you should get married soon and contribute to the revival of the Uchiha clan."

"Uh, that depends on what Sasuke-kun thinks."

Sakura looked shy and embarrassed.

If there hadn't been so many people present, she really would have said to Sasuke: "Honey, say something!"

Perhaps sensing Sakura's thoughts, Sasuke, having calmed down, said to Naruto, "Don't talk about me yet, when are you and Hinata getting married?"

"Uh, well."

"Huh, Hinata?"

She only knew that Hinata liked Naruto, but she didn't know that Hinata was about to move into Naruto's house.

"Sakura, don't say anything yet. I'll tell you about them later."

"oh."

Sakura shut up, her face beaming with happiness, putting the pressure on Naruto.

"Sasuke, why are you asking me about Hinata? Do you mean you want to marry me?"

"Damn it, what you're saying is ambiguous."
