[Naruto] The Disaster of the Red Sand Scorpion

The days that followed were uneventful, and Team 7, where Sakura belonged, was still doing unremarkable tasks.

On Scorpion's side, because he learned that Sakura had already started, he began to give Sakura homework every time he swapped, and asked to hand it in the next time he swapped back.

In addition, he also took on several low-level tasks in Sunagakure Village to train Sakura. In his words, Sakura was using his body, and if her strength was too low, it would be an embarrassment to him.

[The situation is not much better now. 】 Sakura wrote a message, because Xie took on tasks below A level, which shocked everyone who knew him.

"Was the injury that time too serious?" When meeting Xia, Yashamaru was sincerely worried for Xia.

Fortunately, it was Scorpio himself at the time, and he asked directly: "This kind of thing has nothing to do with you, does it?"

[How can you expect others to pick up on you when you say something like this! ] Sakura heard dissatisfaction from Guy, [Yashamaru is so gentle, don't always talk harshly to him. 】

Scorpios still go their own way.

Sakura has done several joint missions with Yashamaru and Maki. Since Rasa and Scorpion are both jounin, the two of them will usually not team up unless it is a particularly important event.

No, there are still some. For example, as Kazekage's guard, when Kazekage is about to leave the village. Although there are ANBU following them, they still need to have guards around them. At this time, the most powerful Scorpion and Luo Sha in the village need to come on stage.

Sakura was extremely nervous after receiving this mission. She couldn't even protect herself, so how could she protect Lord Kazekage?

[Do you think ANBU is the same as you? 】This is the reaction of Xie Xie who learned about this, 【You just need to stand in front of Feng Ying, there is no need to do anything more. 】

Sakura could only follow out of the village obediently.

The Third Kazekage is indeed a very gentle person. During the journey, he will care about Rasa and Sakura's recent training status, talk to them heart-to-heart, and talk about his experiences long ago.

The journey is not always safe. There are always some people who want Kazekage's life, mainly the rebel ninja who left Sunagakure Village.

But just like what Xion said, the ANBU will solve it secretly. If it really can't be solved, Luo Sha can handle it well by himself when it comes to the Third Kazekage.

Sakura just had to pretend to protect the Third Kazekage.

Afterwards, the Third Kazekage was concerned about Rasa, and then asked Sakura: "Don't you like being a ninja?"

"No." Sakura didn't understand why the Third Kazekage asked that.

"Really?" The Third Kazekage was noncommittal, "But Scorpion, I don't see the fighting spirit in your eyes."

Not only that, he even saw timidity in Scorpion.

Fear? The word "Scorpion" was so inconsistent with "Scorpion" that the Third Kazekage couldn't understand it. However, he did not insist on searching, but patiently said to Sakura: "Scorpion has done enough for the village. If you are too tired, you can stop and rest." .”

Sakura, who was in a daze, didn't answer.

[The Third Kazekage is very kind. 】 Sakura wrote down everything she saw and heard today and told Scorpion, and expressed her love for the Third Kazekage, just like Grandpa Hokage, which is very kind.

Scorpio dismissed this, [Oh, what you see is just the appearance. 】

[You have never gotten along with Mr. Kazekage, how do you know. 】

Scorpion didn't reply.

Sakura didn't care, because after she left a message, she had to wait until the next time she changed over before she could see Mr. Scorpion's reply. If she didn't change over for a few days, she wouldn't see Mr. Scorpion's reply for several days in a row.

【I really hate rebels! 】 Sakura was a little bit crazy when she was attacked by a rebel ninja again. She couldn't let Rasa go alone every time. Although the Third Kazekage said that it would be fine to leave it to Rasa, it was too embarrassing. [These abominable traitors! 】

[Do you hate rebellious ninjas? 】

Of course, when Sakura recalled the few high-level missions she had, she was dealing with traitorous ninjas, almost being beaten to autism, and they were all rescued by others, so she couldn't do anything to help.

The most important thing is, betrayal, what if it weren't for the deep hatred and hatred that threatens to betray the village? Sakura, who had just left the ninja school and had never seen another side of the village, thought this way.

The complete opposite to Sakura, Xie didn't understand why Sakura had such a strong sense of belonging to the village. He sneered and said: [It is indeed what an innocent child of your age would say. 】

[You are obviously not much older than me. 】

During the entire escort process, the Third Kazekage, who had been observing Scorpion, was surprised to find that the child often wrote things behind their backs. Sometimes he would go crazy looking at what he wrote, and sometimes he would show an incomprehensible smile.

Just, weird.

After a short period of training, Sakura's strength has improved significantly, but she herself is not happy.

This was not noticed by Scorpion, who had never met her before. What he found was Kakashi, who had been observing Sakura.

As the Chunin Exams approached, considering the strength of the three students, Kakashi decided to let them take part in this exam. But there was something wrong with Sakura's mood at this time, and she didn't look like anything else.

So he talked to Sakura and told her that no matter what troubles she had, she could tell him.

With his encouragement, Sakura spoke: "Recently, I feel that I am making progress."

"Yeah," Kakashi answered, "Sakura has indeed made great progress."

Is it because you feel unsure about your own strength? Kakashi thought. Then he heard Sakura say: "But, I don't want to do this."

"..."

Kakashi said "Ah", "Teacher, I don't quite understand what Sakura means."

"If you are too strong, you will be hated by your sweetheart." Sakura said the problem that had been bothering her for many days, because she found that Sasuke-kun stayed far away from her during this period, and even if he met her eyes, he would quickly look away. It's like he doesn't want to have anything to do with her.

Is it actually for this? Kakashi stroked his messy hair in amusement. He remembered what Iruka said about Sakura having liked Sasuke since she was a child, and then remembered what he saw Sakura doing to Sasuke. How should I put it, is this really like it?

"Why does Sakura think so?"

Sakura recalled her previous meeting with Sasuke-kun. She and Naruto talked about the Kirigakure rebellion, and then Naruto vowed: "Don't worry, I will protect Sakura-chan!"

"I don't want it." She turned to look at Sasuke with a smile, "I will protect Sasuke-kun."

Sasuke: "...I don't need it."

I told him before that he should improve his strength and not be rescued, and now that he said to protect him, he was definitely hinting at something.

Sakura was dejected after being rejected.

After listening, Kakashi said: "..." I always felt that Sakura and Sasuke were not discussing the same thing.

"Well, Sakura, maybe you misunderstood what Sasuke meant. He just feels embarrassed to be protected by you."

"As expected, you will be hated if you become stronger."

"..."
