Double-transformation: I, Sakura Haruno! Will crush the pirates!

However, the scene was completely silent.

Sasuke waved to the Uchiha guards behind him, and led them to disperse the onlookers and maintain order.

Sakura had already reached Jiraiya, tilting her head and holding out her hands, "Jiraiya-sensei, a present~"

"You really don't hold back with me!"

Jiraiya chuckled helplessly, "Look, the wind chimes from the Land of Fields!"

Jiraiya opened his backpack and took out a beautiful wind chime made of seashells, placing it in Sakura's hand.

The coastal area of ​​the Land of Rice Fields is in the opposite direction of the border of the Land of Fire. In other words, Jiraiya and Naruto's training over the past two and a half years has traversed the entire Land of Rice Fields.

It seems that taking Naruto out of the village for training was a cover, and they were probably carrying out some mission against Orochimaru in secret.

"Hehe, thank you, Jiraiya-sensei!"

A dim light flickered in her pupils for a moment, then Sakura blinked and said thank you in a sweet voice.

"Mo, why are you two ignoring me?!"

Naruto, who had grown into a tall young man of 1.7 meters, exclaimed, "I also brought a gift for Sakura!"

He opened his backpack in front of Sakura, reached inside and rummaged around, pulling out a bunch of flowers that were already squeezed and deformed.

As a gentle breeze blew by, even the last remaining tenacious petals were carried away.

Upon seeing this, Jiraiya and Sasuke simultaneously raised their hands and slapped them on their foreheads with a loud crack.

—If this guy doesn't get pursued by anyone in the future, he'll probably be single for life.

"Hahaha, as expected of you, the number one ninja of unpredictability!"

Sakura laughed and took the last remaining flower stem. "Anyway, thank you for the gift."

Upon hearing the girl's answer, Naruto looked at her with teary eyes, only to be struck by Sasuke from behind.

"With gifts prepared like this, it seems all the nutrition you gained during your two and a half years away from home has gone into muscle."

"What did you say!"

Clenching his fist, Naruto turned around, revealing his shark teeth, and roared at Sasuke.

To be honest, the release of Yang Release chakra and the domineering training did make Naruto a bit more rugged.

His muscles and facial contours have become much more robust, which is a nightmare for teenage boys who admire being handsome and cool.

So, Naruto, whose secret had been exposed, waved his hand and formed the seal of the character "戌" in front of him.

"You bastard Sasuke, today I'll use you to test my new Sexy Jutsu!"

Bang!

The chakra from the transformation technique exploded, creating a huge cloud of smoke.

From the hazy distance, a blonde girl dressed in a light gauze dress walked gracefully towards them.

Abandoning the awkwardness of being completely naked in the past, her long, slender legs, encased in black footed stockings, were now visible beneath her pale white nightgown. Her exposed toes and ankles lightly touched the ground, and her gloved fingers gently traced her legs, while her other hand caressed her soft lips.

"Hmm~"

The girl with skin as white as jade winked at Sasuke and blew him a kiss with her curved finger.

Yes, this is Naruto's new Sexy Jutsu. It adds a few more pieces of clothing to the original, making his already beautiful curves even more perfectly outlined by the light gauze clothing, while also adding a sense of regret for unrequited love.

"Naruto, you idiot!"

Struck by the Fist of Happiness, Sasuke shyly squeezed his legs together, protecting his vitals with one hand and covering his nose with the other.

"Transformation is done through imagination. Jiraiya-sensei, how many times have you taken him on research trips in the past two years?" Sakura, who had just enjoyed the sights, turned her gaze away and shook her head as she asked her teacher beside her.

However, Jiraiya did not answer her. His gaze was already firmly captivated by the technique, his eyes turned into the shape of hearts, and blood and saliva flowed from his nose.

That's it, there's no hope. Just wait to die!

Sakura subtly distanced herself from Jiraiya, because her Observation Haki had detected an angry mind rapidly approaching.

"You bunch of idiots!"

The roar created a shockwave, and a heavy figure crashed into the ground.

He then swept past the crowd at incredible speed, punching each of them into the ground.

"Why...why am I still here?"

Sasuke, inside the pit, shakily raised his hand.

"Because you've been infected too!"

Tsunade, who was being unreasonable, swept her cold gaze over him, instantly silencing Sasuke.

She then dug the three of them out of the pit, piled them on her shoulders like a human pyramid, and casually pointed at Sakura with her finger.

"Come with me!"

Chapter 245 Testing the Results of Cultivation

A few minutes later, in the Hokage Building office.

Naruto and Jiraiya were being scolded in front of Tsunade's desk, while Sakura and Sasuke sat on the sofa drinking tea.

"Listen, if I get another report like this, you two are dead."

Tsunade raised her hand, making a snapping sound with her fingers as she clenched her fist. "Do you understand now!"

Jiraiya and Naruto nodded repeatedly like little chicks, their lips tightly shut, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing that she had scolded the two of them enough, Tsunade stopped rambling and went straight to the point, "The purpose of calling you all here today is very simple, it is to let the three of you fight each other!"

"We two don't need to, right? We've been at the border for the past two years..."

Sasuke frowned as he put down his teacup, about to refuse.

"No." Tsunade raised her index finger and shook it. "This mission is assigned to the entire Team 7. The three of you have been separated for too long and need to get to know each other better!"

To be honest, most missions in Konoha, like the politics of Konoha, rely heavily on teams.

Growing up in a ninja academy from a young age, teammates who graduated and grew up together are a natural political resource and ally for ninjas.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura are the three juniors whom Tsunade has the highest hopes for since taking office these past two years. She has already decided that they will be assigned to various key departments in Konoha in the future.

Therefore, she hopes that the three of them can take advantage of their youth to carry out missions together more often, get to know each other's styles and methods, and cultivate their own team chemistry.

In this way, many years later, when she retires from the position of Hokage, the three of them, who have been supporting each other, can become new pillars, protecting Konoha from wind and rain.

"Alright, let's listen to Tsunade."

Sakura held down the two boys' heads and ruffled their slightly prickly spiky hair. "It'll be good for me to see how much you've improved!"

"That `s a deal!"

Worried that the other two would cause trouble, Tsunade quickly made a decision and swept Naruto and Sasuke out without giving them a chance.

At midday, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura stood facing each other in the ninjutsu training ground outside the village.

On the tree next to them sat a white-haired man holding a small yellow book.

"Wait, why is Kakashi-sensei here?!"

Naruto's eyes turned white, and he pointed at Kakashi and shouted.

Kakashi smiled, narrowed his eyes, and gave Naruto a peace sign. "Well, how should I put it? I was invited by Lady Tsunade to be a referee!"

"Idiot, Kakashi-sensei is here to make sure we don't get killed!"

Sasuke, who was next to Naruto, had already checked all the ninja tools he could take out and drawn his katana from his waist, assuming a fighting stance.

Naruto, that naive fool, had no idea what kind of hell they were about to face.

Of all those present, only Sasuke clearly recognized just how terrifyingly powerful the third teammate in Team 7 had become over the years.

"Kill him?" Naruto swallowed hard. "That's going too far..."

The boy's voice grew softer and softer as an unprecedentedly terrifying aura shattered the training ground in front of him.

"Then, with a death wish, let's begin!"

At Kakashi's command, he swiftly and decisively fled backwards.

Naruto was about to protest, but his deep blue pupils reflected the pink-haired girl's maniacal laughter and her eyes, which were stained with scarlet.

"Naruto!"

Sasuke shouted, and at the same time, four steel wires wrapped around his hands and feet, pulling him into a bent-over position.

The next instant, the girl's fist missed its mark on Naruto's stomach.

boom!

The forest behind him was blasted through, and a small hill was shattered by the force of the punch.

"I...I was almost killed!"

Naruto, who was being dragged to Sasuke's side, rubbed his arms tremblingly.

"Idiot, we're still in the middle of a battle! Show me the results of your training over the past two years!"

Sasuke flicked his fingers to retract the wire, then gripped his katana tightly with both hands and closed his eyes.

An invisible purple wave slowly swirled from his fists to the blade, while fine, incandescent lightning danced across the metallic blade, channeling chakra.

One-Sword Style: Lightning Hunt!

With a surge of fighting spirit and thunderous energy, Sasuke merged his entire body with lightning, leaving a trail in the void.

The girl's body swayed slightly, and her afterimage was shattered by his blade.

"Catch her, Lightning Hunt!!!" Sasuke roared.

The lightning at the tip of the blade, mixed with a faint aura of dominance, suddenly extended, and like a python catching its prey, it turned its head nimbly and slashed at Sakura behind Sasuke at high speed.

Ding!

Sakura raised her hand and used just one finger to stop the extended sword, preventing it from advancing any further.

"I told you, don't use this move before you've mastered the Black Blade technique!"

As she spoke, Sakura parted the blade, curled her fingers into a claw, and reached out to grab Sasuke's sword.

"not good!"

Sasuke's eyes widened in fury; if that blow landed on his sword, it would be ruined.

That's a sword made of metal infused with chakra. He bought it with a loan from the Nekoya using his status as the young head of the Uchiha clan. If it breaks, he'll be starving for the next six months.

Don't leave me behind!

A roar rang out as Naruto charged toward the two, holding a transparent, spinning shuriken in his hand.

The Rasengan, infused with wind-attribute chakra, emitted a sharp hiss, even giving Sakura a sense of danger.

—Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!

Brothers!

Seeing Naruto charging towards him, Sasuke, whose long sword was about to be crushed, was so excited that he almost burst into tears. He sheathed his sword and rolled away from Sakura.

"It seems that Jiraiya-sensei has been teaching quite diligently for the past two and a half years!"

Sakura didn't stop Sasuke's retreat; instead, she turned and met Naruto, who was running wildly.

In his wide-eyed gaze, Sakura's figure began to blur and fragment, and in less than a few seconds, the entire training ground was filled with Sakura's figures.

"Huh! How come there are so many Sakuras?"

Naruto, in the midst of his charge, panicked and lost his direction of attack.

"Idiot, use your Observation Haki to sense her!" Sasuke shouted at Naruto above as he stepped back.

Although he was not good at Observation Haki, Naruto had no other choice at the moment. He could only force himself to close his eyes and use his senses to find Sakura's true form!

In the pitch-black darkness, blurry outlines appeared, a kind of "illusion" that alerted the enemy to their location.

"found it!"

Naruto opened his eyes, his arms blackened with Armament Haki for protection, and hurled the Rasenshuriken in his hand at one of Sakura's children.
