[Naruto] Haruno Sakura Preface

"Hey, Jiraiya? There's another kid." In an unknown wine shop, Tsunade looked at Jiraiya and Sakura standing in front of the shop in surprise.

Who would have known that the Sannin Idori Ikko, who the Konoha Anbu could not find even after searching their brains, was drinking in an unknown tavern.

"Finally found you." Jiraiya saw her sigh with relief, and pulled Sakura beside him to sit down in front of Tsunade.

Sakura carefully looked at the person who was about to become her apprentice in front of her. The woman was considered a typical thick-faced beauty. Her beautiful facial features showed her youthful advantage. Her waist-length blond hair was tied into two ponytails and casually scattered on both sides. She was now fair and tender. His face was red.

The most proud thing was the pair of plump ones. Sakura only glanced at them twice before covering her barren airport in shame.

"Damn you kid, I really don't know what you are thinking." Jiraiya looked at Sakura's movements, and several black lines appeared on his forehead.

"Hmph, you will get it when you grow up." Tsunade saw Sakura's actions and smiled proudly.

"By the way. What are you doing here?" Tsunade stopped drinking and looked at them drunkenly with squinted eyes.

"Where's Shizune?" Jiraiya didn't answer Tsunade's question, but first asked about the whereabouts of Shizune, who was always close to her.

"Why did you ask that girl to answer my question first?" Seeing that Jiraiya didn't answer, Tsunade slapped the stone wine table under her in displeasure.

Sakura watched with her own eyes as the woman made several exaggerated cracks in the hard wine table in front of her with just her strength.

"Don't be angry." Jiraiya looked at the brutally murdered wine table in horror, feeling terrified in his heart.

"Then answer my question." Tsunade punched the stone table, and the already shaky stone table burst into pieces instantly. The wine bottles on the table also fell to the ground.

Sakura twitched her lips, already imagining the fate of being blasted by a strange force in the future.

"Then I'll tell you straight, the old man wants you to go back to the village." Jiraiya saw Tsunade being so straight to the point.

"Why." Tsunade did not agree, but picked up the wine bottle on the ground and poured another glass of wine into the cup.

"The old man is old and needs a new Hokage to succeed him." Jiraiya observed Tsunade's expression nervously. As expected, the woman's eyes that had been lowered while drinking suddenly raised and looked directly at Jiraiya. They met, but not long after, Tsunade lowered her eyes and looked down at the wine glass in her hand.

"Isn't it you?" Tsunade was silent for a moment and drank the wine in her hand.

"No one is more suitable than you." Jiraiya shook his head.

As the princess of the Senju clan and the title of Sannin, Tsunade's reputation in the hearts of the people of Konoha is far beyond theirs.

"I refuse." Tsunade dropped the wine glass in her hand neatly, and the iron wine vessel collided with the gravel, making a ping-pong-pong sound. The owner of the hotel stood by and saw this scene and did not dare to come forward to dissuade him. He just thought that he was unlucky.

"One more thing. The old man found a girl who is very talented in medical ninjutsu. I hope you can teach her." Jiraiya looked at Tsunade's resistance and did not force him anymore. He just nodded beside him. Sitting Sakura revealed the purpose of the trip.

"Huh?" Tsunade's gaze shifted from Jiraiya to Sakura next to her, and she looked at Sakura carefully.

Perhaps Tsunade's scrutinizing eyes were too direct, and Sakura shrank back a little uncomfortably.

"I don't teach idiots." Tsunade said with a look back.

"She is not an idiot. She has already taught herself the intermediate level of medical ninjutsu, and within a month she can use the chakra scalpel that Shizune once found difficult in actual combat. And she is still learning the one phase seal at the same time. Come on." Jiraiya was minding his own business, picking up the wine glass on the floor and pouring himself a glass of wine from the bottle, and then said calmly.

"Oh?" Tsunade didn't show any expression on her face, but she was secretly surprised and looked at Sakura next to Jiraiya again.

"If it's as you said, she is indeed qualified to become a medical ninja." Tsunade did not immediately nod in agreement because of her talent, but said slowly.

"But! It's impossible for my apprentice to only know medical ninjutsu!" Tsunade changed the topic and planned to persuade the two of them to retreat.

"Don't worry about that. Her talent is not limited to medical ninjutsu." Jiraiya thought that Tsunade was going to put forward some harsh conditions again, so he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

He has fully experienced the talent of Sakura Kaili during the two months of traveling here. Coupled with his talent in medical ninjutsu, there is no doubt that he is the second replica of Tsunade.

"Hmph, there's no point in talking. Go out and try your hand." After talking about this, Tsunade intended to test Sakura's level, so she quickly mobilized chakra to break down the alcohol in her body, which only took a few seconds. The redness on the woman's face quickly faded.

"Jiraiya-sama? And" Tsunade was about to stand up when Shizune's voice came into her ears.

Sakura looked at the visitor curiously. The visitor was wearing a black robe, with short hair reaching her shoulders. His face was not as beautiful as Tsunade's, but a little plain. At this time, he was holding a pet pig in his arms and looked at Jiraiya in surprise. and myself.

"Shizune, you came just in time. Go down and ask the owner of this restaurant for a raw fish, and give it to me after it's half dead."

Tsunade looked at Shizune and quickly ordered.

"Okay" Shizune was a little confused, but the color of the broken wine table instantly turned bad.

"Tsunade-sama! Why did you break other people's things again! You obviously lost all the money because of gambling." Shizune complained immediately.

"That's ridiculous! You can make money in any way." Tsunade made a sign and took out a bag of bulging wallets from the scroll and handed it to Shizune. She waved her hand and asked Shizune to compensate the store.

"Really." Shizune cursed secretly, while accepting her fate and going to pay the money.

It was already midnight, and the streets of Tuanchu Street were silent.

Sakura and Tsunade stood respectively, Tsunade raised a finger and looked at Sakura silently.

"Will the battle be over in one minute?" Jiraiya guessed watching Tsunade's movements.

"Not a minute, but a finger." Tsunade shook her finger and said with a calm expression on her face.

"Come on, let me see your strength." Tsunade hooked her finger at her and started the battle.

Sakura calmly looked at the woman in front of her who raised her finger arrogantly, not letting her guard down because of Tsunade's contempt for her.

The gap in strength and experience between the two parties in the sneak attack was too big. Her little tricks would definitely be seen through by the woman in front of her without any effort.

No matter how young he looks, he is still a legendary ninja who is as famous as the Sannin.

Sakura quickly thought of a countermeasure, put her hand on the ninja bag, and then moved.

Several kunai were also sent out from Sakura's hands one after another, turning into cold light under the moonlight and flying towards Tsunade.

The woman squinted her eyes and slowly observed Sakura's movements. Facing several kunai that were flying towards her quickly, she turned her head to avoid all of them.

Just as Tsunade was avoiding it, Sakura's whole body burned with chakra and she rushed up quickly, punching Tsunade straight in the face.

Tsunade felt the chakra on Sakura's hand, slightly curling her lips, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes.

Tsunade didn't intend to avoid it, and met Sakura's fist with a light finger.

"Eat my punch!"

The two collided fiercely, and Sakura's worries about Tsunade were all dissipated at this moment.

The power she had always been proud of was like a cow in the mud at this time, and was easily resolved as soon as she and Tsunade met her.

"Is this a Kage-level master?" Seeing that the strange power was easily resolved, Sakura had to quickly take a few steps back to keep a safe distance from Tsunade.

"The use of chakra is good, but it is still far from using real strange power." Tsunade commented objectively.

"Thank you." After Sakura said her thanks, she dodged and rushed forward. The clenched fist also turned into a palm, and the blue chakra knife condensed on the surface and cut into several important meridians of Tsunade.

"Chakra knife?" Tsunade turned sideways to avoid Sakura's blade, then changed direction, tensed her index finger and flicked towards the hard chakra knife.

"Bah---" The chakra knife quickly shattered after being eaten by Tsunade with a snap of her fingers, and the hard blue outer shell also shattered.

Seeing that the attack failed, Sakura quickly changed her legs and kicked Tsunade in the lower body.

Tsunade, however, remained motionless, letting her feet kick towards her calves.

Tsunade instantly concentrated her chakra on her calf and withstood Sakura's kick.

Only then did Sakura realize the true meaning of the mayfly shaking the tree.

Tsunade did not take a step back, but Sakura was violently ejected due to the too powerful chakra.

"That's enough." Tsunade looked at Sakura, who was about to stand up and rush to her again, and stopped with an appreciative look on her face.

"Your chakra control ability is very good. Also, I have a question, where did you learn your strange power." Tsunade first praised Sakura's chakra control ability, and then asked another question.

"I studied it when I was practicing chakra control when I was a child." Sakura explained to Tsunade while adjusting her breathing.

"Although there are still many shortcomings, it is already very good for you to be able to do this at your age." Tsunade nodded and confirmed her.

"I said she is very suitable for you." Jiraiya echoed from the side.

"It's not over yet." Tsunade took the almost exhausted and dead fish from Shizune's hand, squatted down and spread the healing scroll on the ground, while the fish was placed on the scroll.

"Your mission is to use your medical ninjutsu to cure this fish. And you cannot use external water sources." Tsunade stood up and explained.

"Okay." Sakura didn't have time to rest, but quickly squatted down and followed Tsunade's instructions.

She cannot use external water sources, which requires her to refine the nature of chakra while using medical ninjutsu to maintain the vital signs of the fish. This requires refined chakra control capabilities.

"It's really difficult to deal with." Sakura complained in her heart and quickly went into treatment.

Fortunately, her chakra control ability has been continuously controlled since she was six years old, and she is now able to achieve this level.

While Sakura was carefully refining the chakra properties, her hands were covered with green light and enveloped the dying fish.

When the nature of the chakra was refined, streams of clear water flowed along Sakura's hand to cover the dying fish, and the clear water gradually penetrated into the fish's body.

After all the steps were completed, the fish that was on the verge of death jumped alive again on the reel.

"Well done." Tsunade looked satisfied.

Shizune on the side was also shocked from ear to ear by Sakura's performance.

"Now you have nothing to refuse, right?" Jiraiya shrugged.

"What's your name?" Tsunade ignored him and asked Sakura's name.

"Haruno Sakura." Sakura answered Tsunade's question from behind.

"The test has been passed. From now on, you can learn from me. However, I will put my harsh words here first. It is not easy to be my disciple, Senju Tsunade. If you make me unhappy during the training, If you are satisfied, I will still send you back to Konoha." Tsunade nodded and agreed to Sakura's apprenticeship, but at the same time she also said harsh words.

"Okay, Master." After hearing Tsunade's words, Sakura nodded seriously.

"This is your senior sister Shizune." Tsunade pointed to Shizune standing aside and introduced to Sakura.

"Sister Shizune." Sakura bowed respectfully to her.

After seeing her, Shizune waved her hand gently to greet her.

"Then I'll leave this brat to you." Jiraiya stood aside and breathed a sigh of relief, finally sending the little ancestor out.

"Okay. Did the old man say when he would take Sakura back?" Tsunade nodded and asked suddenly, and at the same time asked Sakura's doubts.

"Wait until she graduates from sixth grade. Just go back and register as a ninja." Jiraiya waved his hand to dispel their doubts.

It's a joke, if Sakura can't compare to those brats after three years of training with Tsunade, their reputation as a Sannin will really be gone.

"Tsunade, let's go have two more drinks." The task was completed, and Jiraiya also invited Tsunade into the bar for a few more drinks.

"Go in." Tsunade didn't refuse. After all, they were old friends who had known each other for most of their lives. They also had countless things to say to each other at this time.

"Shizune, please take Sakura to settle down first." Before entering the bar, Tsunade waved her hand and motioned for Shizune to take Sakura back to the hotel first.

"Okay, Tsunade-sama, please drink less." Shizune asked worriedly.

"That's long-winded." Tsunade waved her hand and entered the bar one after another with Jiraiya.

"Then let's go." Shizune hugged Dodo and led Sakura to the hotel.
