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

Chapter 15 Naruto
Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his beard and looked at the pink little girl in the crystal ball.

Although Sakura Haruno's way of dealing with Uchiha Sasuke was biased, it was enough to satisfy Sarutobi Hiruzen.

When facing a classmate who is out of control of his emotions, words will not have any effect. So subdue him first and then calm him down with words.

Apparently, it works pretty well.

This is the future of Konoha...

Recalling the scene just now, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment and seemed to have made up his mind.

-

"Whoo~"

Sakura leaned against a thick tree, breathing lightly, crystal sweat running down her cheeks.

The incident involving Uchiha Sasuke did not have much impact on Sakura, and Sakura had no ill will towards Sasuke.

Just a poor child.

She has just finished a 30-kilometer endurance run, and at only seven years old, she can sense that this is the limit of her current body.

If you continue, it will cause harm to your body.

"Sakura?"

"what are you doing here?"

A somewhat old but powerful voice sounded with doubt.

The pink loli turned her head and saw a slightly bald old man in casual clothes looking at her not far away.

"Hokage-sama?"

Haruno Sakura showed surprise on her face and tried to stand up, but she had no strength left. After struggling a few times, Sarutobi Hiruzen held down her shoulders.

"Since you are tired, let's take a good rest."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the pink little girl in front of him kindly.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Haruno Sakura pursed her lips, looked at the kind old man in front of her, and said with a puzzled look:

"Why is Hokage-sama here?"

"Hahaha, of course you're here to see our talented little ninja."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat next to Sakura and patted her head with a smile.

Because Haruno Sakura did not hide her talent at all, her reputation as a genius had already spread, so it was not surprising that Sarutobi Hiruzen knew about it.

Hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Sakura pursed her lips and didn't say much.

"what happened?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, looking at Sakura who was silent.

The child didn't seem very happy.

Sakura pointed to the sweat on her face and her body which was almost too weak to stand up and said:
"The word 'genius' completely overshadows the hard work behind me."

“Others don’t see the hard work behind me and just take my excellence for granted.”

Although she intended to promote her talent, Sakura worked late into the night every day during the year and also took time out during the day to train at a certain intensity.

Although her goal was achieved, she also put in a lot of effort to achieve it.

"I see...I was negligent. Sakura is a very hard-working child."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression couldn't help but soften.

He already had a very good impression of the child in front of him, and now he felt a hint of heartache in his heart.

"Then can I ask Sakura why you're working so hard?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words cheered up Haruno Sakura.

She was pointing in the direction of the Hokage Building, or to be more precise, in the direction of Hokage Rock.

Even though the Hokage Rock is not visible from here.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked in the direction Sakura was pointing.

"I want to be the first female Hokage!"

"Protect mom, protect dad, protect the village!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at the little girl in front of him in a daze.

With his already excellent senses, coupled with the impression of being a hard-working person, and hearing the words that were almost exactly the same as those of the red-haired bloody pepper back then, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to see the shadows of other people in this child.

As strong as Tsunade, as ambitious as Kushina, as personal as Minato...

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but feel moist in the corners of his eyes. He seemed to see the shadows of three different people in this child.

Because of the angle, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not see Sakura's somewhat unnatural and embarrassed expression.

It's quite embarrassing to say such words in front of a man in his sixties.

Cheating old men and the like are all stopgap measures.

"I see, that's a great ambition."

"Old man, I'm optimistic about Sakura."

Sarutobi Hiruzen wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, touched Sakura's head and smiled:

"If you have any questions or concerns, you can ask me."

He then stood up and disappeared from Sakura's sight.

No...My Lord Hokage, are you just going to leave like this?

Sakura couldn't help but sigh as she watched Sarutobi Hiruzen disappear.

Ok?
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw something left where Sarutobi Hiruzen had just been sitting.

It's a scroll.

Oh my god, the old man exploded with gold coins!
Sakura couldn't wait to pick up the scroll and opened it directly.

Two big words on the homepage catch your eye.

Strange power!

To be honest, a little disappointed.

But it doesn’t matter anymore. At least I can use my supernatural power openly in the future.

As she continued to flip through the pages, Haruno Sakura's eyes couldn't help but light up.

It is different from the strange power that the body itself possesses.

Super Strength is a kind of Ninja Technique created by Tsunade. It is an extremely high-level technique that gathers chakra in a certain part of the body and then suddenly explodes.

It requires extremely strict manipulation of chakra, but because of this, it also records how to control chakra more simply and effectively.

Although Sakura has mastered super powers thanks to the golden finger, she is still not very skilled in the delicate operation of chakra.

Ninjas use chakra to fight.

The control of chakra is the top priority of almost every ninja, except for Uzumaki Naruto, who is a big chakra user.

If you can master chakra well, you can master almost every technique more quickly.

And if you have any questions about what Sarutobi Hiruzen said before, you can go to him.

Hehe, my Lord Hokage, I don’t understand anything!
Carefully putting away the scroll, Sakura hummed a song and walked briskly towards home in the sunset.

"The vast horizon is my love~~~"

"Flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills~~~"

The sparkling lake reflected the girl's brisk figure. On the somewhat familiar riverbank, a lonely figure was staring at the lake in a daze.

"Hey, Naruto, what are you doing there?"

"It's getting dark, why don't you go home and cook?"

"If I catch you eating instant noodles again, I'll tell Iruka-sensei that you're paying 200 ryo for a cup of instant noodles~~"

The girl's brisk words made the blond boy turn his head to look.

What caught his eye was the bright smile that almost made his heart stop.

"You're stupid, like an idiot. It's getting dark, why don't you go home?"

"Oh, oh!"

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled.
