Traveling through Naruto: I am Haruno Sakura

"Parents, brothers, friends and lovers, people who are important to you, trust each other, help each other, from the moment you are born, the bond between you and your loved ones, and then this red line will become thicker and harder as time goes by. There is no reason to explain this. People who have this red line will definitely do it again, because it is very important..."

Naruto looked at Iruka-sensei, then turned to look at the kind old man, "I can understand that, but... death is really painful..."

Teacher Kakashi, who was standing behind him, suddenly spoke up, "The Third Hokage did not die in vain. He left us something important. One day you will understand."

“I think I can understand this…”

When Naruto finished speaking, Sakura looked at the sky and said softly: "Look, the rain has stopped."

The sun broke through the layers of dark clouds and shone on the photo of the Third Hokage, as if the fog had dissipated and it was time to start a new journey.

Sakura stood between Kakashi and Sasuke, watching Naruto wave to Iruka and saying, "Goodbye! Iruka!"

Looking at his smiling face, the haze in my heart seemed to be dispelled a lot.

After splitting up in an alley, Sakura walked on a familiar road. This time, the village suffered heavy losses in the battle...

Good! Let's strengthen our training now! Let's become a medical ninja who can stand on his own as soon as possible!

On the way back, I saw a familiar figure, "Huh? Shikamaru? What are you doing here?"

"Ah, it's Sakura..." Shikamaru still looked listless, which was really frustrating.

"... Let me guess, are you researching some new tactics... or are you simply waiting for me to get some fresh air?" Sakura knew Shikamaru well.

As for why he knew her? After all, the two of them were not related at all.

It's just that when Sakura was young, she wasn't very keen on playing house or being a bride. Besides, she only learned self-cultivation courses such as flower arrangement and decoration, which she had no interest in. So naturally... she skipped classes.

She randomly found a forest and lay down on the grass to sleep. It was during that time that she met Shikamaru.

After all, a child with a high IQ like Shikamaru naturally doesn't like those boring courses.

Because of this, the two of them developed a sense of mutual appreciation, although they didn't talk much normally, but perhaps a conversation between smart people only requires a glance.

"Yeah." Shikamaru's words made Sakura retract her scattered memories, and the two of them came to the woods they often visited, one after the other.

Sakura picked a tree at random and jumped onto it and lay down.

Shikamaru leaned against a tree, looking at the sky.

Since I graduated from Genin, I have had very few quiet moments like this. If Shikamaru hadn't invited me, I would have been training hard, right?

"Shikamaru."

"Ah."

"If one day, I say if, one day I am also enshrined in the memorial tablet because of the village or the mission, I don't want everyone to be sad. It would be nice if you could bring me some flowers from time to time... ...It doesn't matter if you don't."
