Konoha Sakura

Chapter 34: Tools and People
"Wait, let's quit this mission!" The masked man said, recognizing the power gap between the enemy and us, and Sakura who hadn't made a move yet, let him understand that the result of the battle would be death.

"Exit? Do you think it's over for this sake?" Sasuke asked back.

"It seems that it really can't be kind." The masked man sighed softly.

If he didn't cut it again, he forced himself to speak: "Bai, didn't I tell you to retreat first?"

"But if I quit, I won't be able to leave without Mr. Bu Zhan." The masked man who was changed into white said, his voice was very young, and his figure was also thin. .

"If I tell you to go, you can go. Why, are you afraid that I won't be able to handle it? I am, I will not cut the peach land again!" Zabu Zhan reluctantly stood up, his voice maintained aloof.

"At most, it's just a death... This uncle has experienced too much death."

On the opposite side, Sasuke's expression didn't change at all, but several shurikens appeared in his hands: "Speed ​​is power. You guys, can you still block it this time?"

"Ninja, multiple shuriken techniques!"

laugh!laugh!laugh!
Accompanied by several sounds of piercing through the air, under Sasuke's exquisite control, multiple shurikens attacked Xiang Bai and Zabuju.Apart from the unique control of Uchiha, what makes Zabuzhan feel the most dangerous is the extreme speed and strength.

With the state where he can only barely stand up now, it is impossible to avoid it.

brush!
But of course the shuriken shot in the air, and the figure of Shiro and Zabuzhan appeared in another place.

"Mr. Zabuzhan, I know, I can't escape this time. Then let me be a tool to fight for Mr. Zabuzhan again!" Bai Wen said softly, then he picked up his weapon and faced Sasuke, There is a firm belief in the eyes.

As far as tools are concerned, when the master dies, the tools naturally have no meaning of living!

"It's so fast." Sasuke looked a little dignified, but he was not worried. Although Kakashi had already lost his combat power after fighting with Zabuzhan, Naruto and Sakura were still there, so he could fight with peace of mind!

From behind, Naruto helped Kakashi over, and asked with concern: "Mr. Kakashi, how are you doing now?"

"It's nothing serious." Kakashi shook his head and said to Naruto, "Sakura, go help Sasuke! That boy doesn't look simple."

Kakashi's premonition was accurate, and Shiro quickly caused some trouble for Sasuke, and there were many ice crystals, full of magic.

The ice escapes the bloodstained boundary.

Accompanied by those beautiful pictures, there are murderous intentions everywhere.The speed is much faster than Sasuke, which makes him feel very passive, and it is not easy to use all his strength.

Of course, for Bai's ice escape ninjutsu, Sasuke's coping method is also very simple, swinging his fists, and returning a fierce and domineering counterattack.

He didn't care which position Bai was in, he hit the Overlord Fist (Wang Baquan) so fiercely that Bai couldn't find a chance for a while.

"Okay!" Sakura said, putting away the drawing board, ready to act.

"No, this is my battle!" Sasuke yelled, and his violent attack was raised to another level. He couldn't compete in strength, so he gave full play to his strong physical advantage, but this state could not last.

It's just that unless the speed increases by two levels, if it continues, he will soon reveal his flaws, and at that time, it may be the difference between life and death.

But now, he can still hold on.

"Hey, leave it to me if you don't cut it again." Sakura immediately stopped, and turned her target to the seriously injured person who didn't cut it again, "Ninja, ordinary shuriken!"

call out!
Pfft, without slashing ahead, Bai's figure suddenly appeared, with blood gushing from his flat chest.

Behind him, he couldn't dodge even if he didn't cut it. After the shuriken penetrated through Bai's body, the trend remained undiminished, and he fixed his eyes on Bai's body.

"Why, Bai..." I didn't take my own situation into consideration, looking at Bai in front of me, my throat was a little dry, "You are just a tool."

"Bai is just fulfilling the mission of a tool." Bai's voice is still gentle, but his eyes are a little sad, "It's just a pity that I couldn't save Mr. Zabuzhan this time..."

Soon, Bai's eyes gradually dimmed.

Seeing this, the corners of Zabu Zhan's eyes became blurred unconsciously, and a tear fell down.

On the other side, the battle ended suddenly, Sasuke looked at the dissipated ice crystals around him, his expression changed several times, and finally he went silently to harvest their lives.

"Please wait!" Zabu shouted with the last of his strength.

"We are enemies, so it is impossible to let you go."

"No, it's the ninja's fate to die in the mission." Zabuzhan's voice became weaker, even if Sasuke didn't make up the knife, his life was counting down, "It's a request, I hope, I can be buried with Shiro. he……"

puff!
Kunai, who is entwined with thunder attribute chakra, made up the last knife.

"I understand, you can go at ease." Sasuke replied slowly.

"Sasuke, he hasn't finished speaking." Naruto said.

"I know," Sasuke replied, "but there's no need to listen, they are enemies, and there's no need to listen to the enemy's request."

"The ones who are dead are not considered enemies." Sakura said at this moment, "Just as Kakashi-sensei is going to take a rest, if you want, you can bury them both. Even if it is, um, the cost of beheading the sword Bar."

Naruto opened his mouth, then silently dug a hole and buried the two.

After almost all of these were completed, Kakashi also recovered a certain amount of mobility.

"Mr. Kakashi, is it true that the ninja's destiny is to die in a mission and exist as a tool?" After completing the previous work, Naruto finally spoke, and fixed his eyes on Kakashi.

"Traditionally speaking, ninjas exist to complete tasks, even Zabuzhan, who is a rebellious ninja." Kakashi said, and denied the previous words, "However, now I think there are some things that are more important than ninjas." The mission is more important. Before we become ninjas, we are human beings first."

"Is that so? I see, Kakashi-sensei." Naruto replied, not sure if he really understood, anyway, he didn't ask again later.

"Then let's continue." Sakura felt that the two companions seemed a little depressed, so she said to Dazna, "Mr. Dazna, judging from the intensity of the battle just now, the difficulty of this mission seems to be more than b level task."

"I know, I need to add money."

Dazna replied weakly, he was no longer in the mood to bargain, after watching the battle just now, he knew that without the protection of the seventh squad, his body could be fed to the wolves the next day.

The relaxed atmosphere was restored, and they walked for half a day with the injured Kakashi and the ordinary Dazna, and finally arrived at their destination when the sun set.

After arriving at Tatsuna's house, Kakashi lay down for a long time because there was no medical ninja in the team and no one could treat him.

Apart from him, Squad [-] still has a lot of strength, so there is no need to worry.

……

In the days that followed, Naruto consciously kept a diary, and even got Sakura's sketchbook to see the portraits she drew these days.

On a thick stack of books, on a new blank page, his new notes were added, and the handwriting was slightly scribbled:
year month day,
The civilians in the Land of Waves wanted to give up resistance again, and continued to build bridges again under Sakura's presentation of the facts (physical persuasion).

It was only after actually seeing it that I realized that a country without ninjas is so helpless. Ordinary people who have no power of their own can only be bullied by stronger beings.

The result of resistance is really fatal.

But why did the ninja who had power also die?
In such a place, ninjas have power but die, and ordinary people have no power, but they cannot live peacefully...

In this way, Naruto was recording, thinking, and watching the situation here. However, this continued for a while, and he felt that he still didn't understand.

Finally, he went to ask Sakura.

"Isn't your dream to become Hokage? It's enough to complete this. Do you really want to take care of things other than Konoha, other people's lives?" Sakura, who was disturbed, replied angrily.

These days, she is meticulously drawing Hinata's portrait, thinking that she should be extremely beautiful in all kinds of ancient costumes.

"I know now that I want to be Hokage in order to gain everyone's approval, not to gain everyone's approval for being Hokage." Naruto shook his head and nodded again.

"It was only when I left the village that I discovered what life is like for ordinary people without the protection of ninja power. However, ninjas are different from what I imagined. So..."

"So, you actually have the answer in your heart, don't you?" Sakura replied deliberately, "I am not your teacher, and I am not responsible for teaching you these things. However, as a friend, I recommend you to study after you go back. In addition to "Xism", reading the history of the ninja world and the political situation of the land of fire may be helpful to you."

Afterwards, Naruto returned with a thoughtful expression.

Sakura doesn't know if he really realized something, but what can be confirmed is that after returning, Naruto should not have time to think about the big task in a short time.

No one in the ninja world has ever thought about the problem, how can it be so easy to understand yourself.

However, Sakura is quite looking forward to the day when Naruto may change, and the passionate pursuit of dreams is certainly infectious in the comics.However, the premise is that that dream is his own, not someone else's brainwashed dream.

At least, Naruto, who is willing to use his brain now, seems to give people a good feeling.

"Continue to paint while it's rare and quiet, and give Hinata a surprise when I go back." Sakura said to herself, holding the paintbrush, skillfully dabbling on the white paper.

Perhaps for Sakura, these paintings are the biggest gain of her trip out of the village.

Well, as for the beheading knife, it is really useless. Considering the cost of smelting it into a kitchen knife, it is really not a gain.
