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

The order, personally written by the Hokage, was issued, and this time even a large group of old men in the Konoha Political Department did not disagree with Tsunade, which was quite rare.

This concerns Konoha's status and reputation as the world's largest military group, and no fool would stand in the way of everyone's interests at this time.

The behemoth, a war machine, began to operate rapidly, with countless ninja hawks flying back and forth, almost obscuring the sky.

Inside the training ground, a ninja hawk descended from the sky and landed on Sakura's shoulder.

When Sakura saw the special communication signal mark above, she gradually stopped throwing stones.

Seeing this, the three members of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, who were not far from her, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took the opportunity to rest.

"You guys practice on your own! Don't stop!"

Without even turning her head, Sakura already knew what they were doing and emitted a devilish notification sound.

He unfolded the intelligence report brought by Ninja Eagle and glanced at it to get a general idea of ​​the reasons for the summons.

The order issued from the Hokage Building was to summon the Jonin and the Chunin units they could lead.

"An emergency mission? Go ahead, we can train on our own!"

Shikamaru, the most intelligent of the three, had already realized that Sakura had something on her mind, and he squinted at her.

"That won't be necessary."

Sakura looked at him strangely and scoffed, "You guys are on the summons too, get up, go go go!"

As she spoke, she didn't forget to pass the letters she had received to the three of them to read, her gloating and schadenfreude practically overflowing the screen.

"Ah? No—!"

The screams of the three echoed through the woods, lingering for a long time.

A few minutes later, the rooftop of the Hokage Building was filled with ninjas who had come to gather.

Sakura mingled with the Ino-Shika-Cho trio in the crowd, listening to Tsunade's impassioned speech.

"That's all I have to say. It's about upholding Konoha's prestige and ensuring the safety of the Land of Fire. We absolutely cannot allow them to continue their misdeeds! If they are discovered, show no mercy and execute them on the spot!"

Tsunade raised her arm and pointed out of the village, "Sakura and Team 10, stay behind. Everyone else, disperse!!!"

Upon receiving the order, the ninjas jumped off the roof of the Hokage Building and sped through the streets of Konoha Village.

The older generation of Konoha villagers looked worried upon seeing this, since the last time the village had experienced such a large-scale ninja mobilization was during the Third Shinobi World War.

Seeing that most of the people had left, Tsunade led Shizune to Sakura and the other three.

"Asuma is stuck in the capital of the Land of Fire due to a mission, so Team 10 will be temporarily in your care!"

Tsunade called for Shizune to bring the letter of appointment, and with a wave of her hand, made Sakura the Jonin leader of Team 10.

"what?"

Sakura was taken aback. Isn't it normal for Jonin to start by leading Genin? Why is she being asked to lead Chunin right away?

"Since you've been teaching them ninjutsu all this time, why not take over their management while you're at it?"

Tsunade had already prepared a response to her disciple's question. She patted her shoulder and handed the person over to her. Before Sakura could refuse, she took Shizune and left without giving her any chance to object.

And so, Sakura, who inexplicably gained a team of subordinates, led them from the village and through the woods outside the village.

"Where should we go now to look for those two Akatsuki members? Haruno-sensei~" Shikamaru joked, his chakra surging around his feet as he leaped between tree trunks with Sakura.

"Ugh! That's disgusting, don't call me that."

Sakura pouted, "Finding two people in the vast Land of Fire is like finding a needle in a haystack, so let's not bother looking for them. Let's just go to the underground exchange office and wait for them!"

Ino, be prepared to use the Yamanaka family's secret techniques to torture the person in charge of the gold exchange!

"it is good!"

Ino nodded and replied to Sakura earnestly.

"Hey, isn't this against the rules?"

Seeing the two of them talking in unison, Shikamaru looked up with a puzzled expression.

"Young, too young!"

Sakura grinned, revealing a cold smile, "Counter-terrorism requires a list, but suppressing a rebellion only requires coordinates!"

Originally, everyone tacitly allowed the underground gold exchange shops, whose business highly overlapped with that of the ninja villages, to carry out some peripheral gray activities, which was considered as giving non-ninja village ninjas a way to survive.

But now those rats hiding in the gutter are actually jumping right into Konoha's face, daring to brazenly sit at the table and eat?

These are no ordinary rebels; we must strike hard!

"Fine!"

Shikamaru remained silent for a long time, then said helplessly, "You're the Jonin in charge, so you're in charge."

There was nothing he could do; he was just a Chunin with no real power.

If any problems arise in the future, Sakura, as a Jonin, will take care of them. He's just someone who wants to coast along, so there's no need for him to interfere.

The vast majority of the search teams headed straight for the Fire Temple, while Sakura and her three companions, who had originally been with the main group, quietly broke away.

They headed straight for the gold exchange closest to Konoha.

"Is this really a gold exchange? It looks more like a brothel..."

The air was filled with various indescribable smells, which immediately killed Choji's interest in eating snacks, despite his keen sense of smell.

"A rat living in the sewer, what a perfect match!"

Sakura patted Ino on the shoulder, instructing her to use the Mind Transfer Jutsu on the gatekeeper.

After successfully possessing the other party and opening the door, he directed Shikamaru to carry Ino on his back, and the four of them broke into this underground money exchange disguised as a service establishment!

"who!"

Because the exchange's code was not used beforehand, the alarm was triggered immediately upon the five people entering.

A large number of armed thugs rushed out from various hidden doors, and the leader's pupils shrank when he saw the ninja headbands on their bodies.

"Found it~" The girl with long, loose pink hair tilted her head.

The next instant, a deafening roar erupted in the clear sky, the blazing sun dimmed, and without warning, dark lightning burst forth centered on her.

The soaring spirit reveals the unmistakable will of a hegemon.

"Wow!"

Ino, having been repelled from her possessed state, rubbed her head and complained, "Sakura... why is her aura even more terrifying than before?"

"I guess I've grown up!" Choji stroked his chin, joking with a straight face.

Lost in the distraction of his two teammates who showed no sense of urgency, Shikamaru also became distracted and momentarily forgot to put Ino down.

Its powerful aura swept across the land, stunning all the members of the gold exchange hidden around it and plunging the entire facility into silence.

Sakura slowly stepped forward and dragged out the person in charge of the gold exchange, who was a ninja.

I stepped on his back with one foot and jolted him awake. Then, to his horrified gaze, I gave him a thumbs-up and drew a line across his neck.

"I ask, you answer, understand?"

Chapter 266 Let me have some fun, use your techniques!

Outside a newly built underground gold exchange not far from the Temple of Fire.

Are you sure this is really the place?

Choji glanced suspiciously at Ino, who was being carried on Sakura's back. "This place looks like a toilet, doesn't it?"

"I hacked into four or five gold exchange managers to find this place. Unless the intelligence is wrong, the other party has to alter their memories!"

Ino, who was already using the mountain's secret techniques at a high intensity, was now so weak that even her protests were feeble. She could only weakly wave her fist at Choji in dissatisfaction.

"Yes, this is it!"

Sakura nodded, her expression becoming increasingly mocking. "Usually, only some greenhorn who has just moved to the Land of Fire dares to take on this kind of job. They're probably from some small country, and they think they can fool Konoha just like they fool small ninja villages!"

Shh, they're coming!

Shikamaru, who had been keeping a close watch on their surroundings, lowered his voice and reminded the two of their presence.

Immediately, everyone's gaze turned towards the end of the road, where two men dressed in long robes with black backgrounds and red clouds gradually approached.

One of the men, wearing a mask and with bluish pupils, was holding a corpse by the back of its collar, hanging it like a dried fish.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Hidan, carrying a scythe, saw Kakuzu walk straight into the toilet and made a disgruntled noise.

However, seeing that the other party showed no sign of stopping, he snorted coldly, "Toilet, huh? Oh well, I guess I'll just relieve myself while I'm at it!"

Just as the two entered the gold exchange shop inside the restroom, and the door closed, a warning from Kakuzu suddenly rang in Hidan's ears: "Someone is watching us. We need to leave through the gold exchange shop's employee secret passage!"

Kakuzu, who has been a defector from Takigakure for nearly sixty years and is now over ninety years old, has an experience in dealing with rogue ninjas that is far beyond what any young ninja in the ninja world can match.

He sensed the surveillance almost the instant he stepped into the vicinity of the exchange.

According to his long-standing code of conduct, he should have evacuated immediately upon encountering such a dangerous situation. However, faced with the exorbitant bounty offered by the Land of the Earth, he could not resist the temptation of money and chose to step into the Gold Exchange.

"Hey, they're just a few Konoha pursuers. We can just take them out. No matter how strong they are, how many lives can they have compared to us?"

Hidan waved his hand dismissively and turned to go out and fight the people outside.

Having received the money, Kakuzu, regaining his composure, quickly grabbed Hidan's arm.

He scolded in a tone of exasperation, "Idiot, we've already exposed our abilities once at the Fire Temple. Do you think the ninjas coming this time won't have targeted techniques against us?"

"Too...."

Puzzled, Hidan scratched his head and finally decided to follow Kakuzu's advice.

When the transaction at the gold exchange ended, the two swiftly kidnapped the exchange's leader and forced him to lead them to a secret passage that the exchange had prepared beforehand.

After passing through a long and dark secret passage, they were able to see the outside light again and discovered that the other end of the passage led directly into the depths of the forest.

However, when the two stepped out of the secret passage, the person who had been waiting for them for a long time made them both pause.

"go back!"

Without hesitation, Kakuzu immediately tried to pull the person back.

Unfortunately, a loud bang came from behind them, and a huge red fleshy bomb crashed down from the sky, collapsing a small section of the secret passage and completely blocking their escape route.

"Now there's nowhere to retreat, we can fight, right?" Hidan wiped the dust off his face from the tunnel and bent his arm to grip the scythe.

"Yes, but..."

Before Kakuzu could finish speaking, Hidan had already rushed out laughing.

"Hahahaha! Let's fight!"

With excitement and twisted desire, the scythes hurtled towards them like thirsty fangs, eager to feast on the blood of their enemies.

"spread!"

Seeing Hidan's frenzied charge, Shikamaru felt a chill run down his spine. He reminded his companions to retreat while simultaneously forming hand seals, preparing to unleash a secret technique of the Nara clan.

when!

Amidst the rustling and rustling sounds of the trees, a clear, metallic clang echoed.

Everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn to the source of the echo, where a graceful, lotus-root-like arm stood blocking the sickle's path.

The triple-bladed bloodletting scythe was stuck between the joints of the girl's arm, unable to advance further and unable to cause her any harm.

"Wow, aren't you afraid of swords and blades?"

"Wouldn't that make him immortal? How disgusting!"

Hidan's pale purple eyes widened, revealing a look of disgust.

"How dare you talk to me like that? Hidan, the immortal ninja of the Jashin Cult!"

Sakura flung the scythe away and dusted herself off.

Since she entered adolescence and acquired the steel skin, the defensive power of this body has become increasingly terrifying, to the point that many B-rank ninjutsu cannot even bring her pain.

Maybe one day when I feel empty, I can learn from Guy and go around committing suicide to get the title of the strongest creature in the ninja world for fun?

"Tch, do you recognize me?"
