[Naruto] The Legend of Xuan Ying (Sakura Sakura)

"

I remember the smell of the knife tip licking blood, and the feel of the knife piercing skin and penetrating flesh and bone.

But if I hadn't become a ninja, when my loved one was killed, I could only cry and pray, and watch those powerless people become helpless.

Even so, they happen.

In my disintegrating scream.

More often than not, I prefer to call myself a poet or artist rather than a ninja.

As a ninja, I am disqualified.

___"Ninja Disqualification"

"Hmph, this is a special prison that is absolutely impossible to escape..." In the eyes of everyone's astonishment, Momochi Zabuza raised his hand to grasp the scabbard behind his back, but then stopped to think: "Well, I'll kill you like this. What a pity, but if you were allowed to move freely, I wouldn’t be able to do anything..."

Zabuza's hand stopped in mid-air and turned to form the Water Escape Seal.

"Next...Kakashi, I'll tell you the winner later! I'd better deal with a few of them first."

Kirigakure Kijin thought, wouldn't it be nice to have Kakashi, the Sharingan, who is famous all over the world, trapped and can only watch the mission fail and the students be killed, and then have to fight to the death with him again?

He let the water take over the water prison technique that trapped Sharingan Kakashi, and the main body approached the genin step by step. The beheading knife was removed from the back and dragged to the ground. The tip of the knife left long marks on the soil, like a death sickle.

"You wear your forehead protector so proudly, do you really think you are ninjas? But, the so-called real ninjas are those who have been through life and death many times!" The tall rebel ninja hunched his back and sneered, As if he wanted to enjoy playing with the fledgling genin for a while, he inserted the sword into the soil and fixed it, raised his hand to make a seal and said: "In other words, you can only be considered a ninja when you can be registered in this uncle's handbook, like you." This guy can't be considered a ninja!"

The figure disappeared into the fog again, just like a real ghost.

"Sakura, take Sasuke, Naruto and Mr. Tazuna and run away! The water will disappear as long as it leaves the main body for a certain distance!"

"Oh?" Zabuza maintained the water prison, and was interested in the fact that the copy ninja specifically named one of the students.

Kakashi Hatake shouted while thinking in his mind.

If Zabuza chooses not to pursue them, the students and Tazuna can escape temporarily. The enemy is probably aroused by his name and Sharingan to be aggressive. If he is lucky, he can successfully escape before them. After that, Zabuza's life will be left here.

In case Zabuza chooses to catch up, Kakashi also has hope in Haruno Sakura's ability, believing that she can hold on until he escapes and goes to support him.

"Anyway, you should run away now!"

Haruno Sakura changed her ninja sword to her left hand, and formed the Yin Seal with one hand on her right hand. Her eyes were rolling around, not knowing what she was looking at in the fog. She responded: "Kakashi-sensei, I told you not to act like this." It’s like a romance novel.”

The blond boy was knocked away and fled on the ground in panic. The next second, he seemed to remember something and turned back to stare at the forehead protector that was stepped on by the enemy.

Memories of the past are swirling in the young man's mind, those efforts and the recognition he finally gained...

Yes, I'm a ninja, and I'm determined not to run away!

Stopping his trembling, he stood up and rushed towards the enemy.

"Idiot, don't do this... Haruno Sakura, you will take over as the captain and lead the team to escape. This is an order!"

The female ninja ignored the jounin's roar and just stared at the battle intently, even with a smile on her lips.

But after a moment, her expression changed, and she frowned with a heavy expression.

The moment she saw Zabuza reaching for the guillotine, she remembered that this was the real world, and life wasn't all rainbows and unicorns. (Note 1)

In a flash of lightning, Haruno Sakura picked up Haori, checked the position of the short sword on her waist through the black gloves, and then raised the long blade in her hand.

"What a pity. I wanted to be a young new genin for a while longer, and an innocent female student of Kakashi-sensei for a while longer."

The silver-haired jonin who was trapped in the water prison frowned at the profound meaning of the words, and clenched his fists because the students were in a critical situation.

The hem of Nagahaori fluttered with a rapid movement that ordinary eyes could not follow, and the ninja sword about 48 centimeters cut through the white mist, shining slightly with the light of chakra.

Two ninja swords with huge differences in size collided with each other, making a metallic clang. Sakura blocked with a knife in her hand and protected Naruto with the other hand. From the corner of her eye, she noticed that the boy had tightly grasped the Konoha forehead protector in his hand, and a look of pride appeared on her expression unconsciously.

"Kakashi-sensei, what you just said about not letting your companions be killed is very cool. But just like you want to look cool in front of the students, I occasionally want to leave a handsome impression on my brothers. "

It turns out that when I was unconscious, I already valued you like brothers and sisters...

"And didn't you promise me? You would work hard to survive."

With an arrogant smile, while she was in a stalemate with Kirigakure's escape nin, she said to herself: Kakashi-sensei, although you were so cold and sexy when you were free from missions during the ANBU period, I still prefer you now. you.

Listening to Sakura's usual tone, the two teenagers in Class 7 felt inexplicably calmer at this critical moment of life and death. Seeing Haruno Sakura's confident look, Uchiha Sasuke somehow calmed down and had enough time to complain: "Sakura, do you have any misunderstanding about the word "innocence"?"

"Oh?" Such a slender ninja sword can actually block my decapitation sword? No wonder Kakashi asked this little girl to take over the responsibility of leading the team. Momochi Zabuza was thinking in his heart, and at the same time, he took out the kunai from his ninja tool bag and slashed it towards the girl's abdomen without any pause.

"Sakura-chan?" Naruto's pupils suddenly tightened, unable to understand what was happening in front of him.

The blade of the ninja sword still made a sharp and piercing sound, and the kunai made a sound of piercing flesh and blood, tracing along the chest and abdomen to the upper arm. There were only a few threads left in Haori's body, and the broken threads were connected to the wide sleeve of his left arm, and a bloodstain appeared on the skin inside.

Drops of blood spattered, and a few drops were stained on the white wool on his shoulders and neck.

There was burning pain in the left upper abdomen and upper arm, but no ribs were injured. As a medical ninja, Haruno Sakura instantly judged that the wound was not serious, but the blood that poured out quickly dyed the hem of her robe red. She lifted one end of Haori, drew out her short sword, and attacked the enemy.

When one's attack succeeds, there will be a moment of vulnerability. This is human nature. Haruno Sakura resisted the sword of an adult rebellious ninja with one hand, and at the same time she had to take care of Naruto. In such a critical situation, she evaluated the pros and cons, and actually suffered this attack all her life, in exchange for a gap to change the situation.

Zabuza avoided the attack of the short sword and took a few steps back. At the same time, Sakura also put the short sword back into its sheath, pulled Naruto back to Tazuna's side.

The girl gasped, her expression hidden in the shadow of her long cherry-colored hair, and she let go of the stunned Naruto.

The Ninja sword still shone with a cold light, but the person holding the sword was trembling all over.

"Standard good defense. It seems that all Kakashi's men are useless. However, don't think that picking up a sword, wearing a forehead protector, and learning some fighting skills means you are a real ninja." Maybe it's to retaliate. After a few words of revenge, Mochi Zabuza threw the blood-stained kunai aside and mocked: "With such a trembling attitude, he looks like a pampered female ninja. Is it just a fluke that he was able to block me just now?"

Zabuza raised his sword and pointed it at the swastika formation of Team 7.

His eyes fell on the ninja sword in the female ninja's hand, and he said: "What's more noteworthy is that your ninja sword can actually block my decapitation sword. That short sword seems to be of the highest quality. It's really a waste in your hands." Don't worry, I will make good use of it for you after you die."

Strong murderous intent once again stabbed Team 7 from Zabuza's body. The two teenagers and Tazuna who were surrounded by them began to shiver uncontrollably. Only Haruno Sakura suddenly stopped trembling at this moment.

"Hahahaha"

Haruno Sakura smiled softly. She stuck out her tongue and licked the blood on her fingertips: "The smell of blood, this pain, this murderous aura, this stimulation, it's really..."

It's been a long time.

The demon suddenly tightened his grip on the decapitating sword. He squinted at the Konoha genin opposite, wary of her sudden change of aura.

A strong murderous aura trembled on his skin, almost rivaling his own. Zabuza raised his eyebrows and looked at the female ninja who had no deterrent just now - even though he had no eyebrows.

"The long sword "Zui Liu", the short sword "Shisui" are all among the best chakra swords. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are worthy of this name and they really know their stuff." Haruno Sakura giggled a few more times: "Oni Hitoyuki Zabuza, I heard that you killed all the students of your generation, right? What’s the point of killing the students of your generation?”

"Kill a fellow student? What does it mean to kill a fellow student?" Uzumaki Naruto asked with a trembling voice.

Momochi Zabuza smiled as if he remembered something good, and said, "That... that's really happy, don't you think it's interesting?"

The Konoha Jonin who was trapped in the water prison spoke with a heavy voice as he recounted the tragedy of ten years ago in the Blood Mist.

This time the female ninja grinned and laughed loudly. The laughter was excited and arrogant, but also contained sadness, like a madman. In the shocked eyes of everyone on the friendly side, Sakura continued: "These two knives are a pair of knives called "Ding Tide". The first person they killed after they came into my hands was, well, I won't tell you." You? Ahh, when the knife pierced his chest, his last expression was really the best, hahaha. Look at the handle of the knife, there are still traces of his blood there, hahahaha!"

She raised the knife as if to show off, like a child showing off her treasure. She smiled playfully and crazily, almost laughing to tears, ignoring the frightened eyes of her teammates, and the playful and even appreciative eyes of her enemies.

"Momochi Zabuza, I will not let you take away my "steady tide" - my "Zuiryu" and "Shisui", nor will I let you kill my Kakashi-sensei With teammates, and of course clients.”

Sakura put her bloody hand on Sasuke's shoulder and whispered in his ear: "Sasuke, you understand, right? Kakashi."

The tip of Zhuliu's sword pointed directly at Zabuza.

"Hey, let's stop playing sneak attacks and let's fight each other! But let's make a deal first, because I'm super afraid of pain and have advanced phobia, so I will kill you before you hurt me again. !」

Before she could even finish her words, she attacked Zabuza.

For the time being, Sasuke put aside his exploration of the meaning of Haruno Sakura's previous words and reminded his teammates to protect the client and prepare to wait for an opportunity to release the guiding jounin from the water prison.
