In the forest, Kakashi was using the Sharingan to observe the traces around him, tracking the locations of Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura.

This morning, as soon as Kakashi returned to the village, he received a summons from Tsunade and was told that Sasuke had defected and Sakura organized people to pursue him.

As a guiding jonin, Kakashi naturally had an unshirkable responsibility when his student defected. After hearing the news, Kakashi immediately embarked on a journey to find Sasuke.

Along the way, Kakashi met Choji who was sleeping soundly against a big tree; Hinata who was hesitating whether to continue the pursuit; and Lee who was carrying a prisoner and running around in the forest like a headless fly, trying to find Sakura.

After instructing Rock Lee and Hinata to take Choji back to the village, Kakashi began to act alone.

Suddenly, Kakashi heard a faint electric sound in his ears. He was very familiar with this sound. It was the sound of the ninjutsu he developed - Chidori.

It looked like Sasuke wasn't far away.

Kakashi quickly chased in the direction of the sound, but when Kakashi finally found his student, the scene in the distance made him freeze in his tracks. He only saw:

In front of a big rock, Sasuke's right hand pierced through Sakura's chest. Blood splattered everywhere on the rock, on the ground, on Sasuke's body...

"Do not--"

Kakashi let out a hysterical cry, and rushed to Sakura's side in an instant. He kicked Sasuke away, caught Sakura's shaky body, and slowly squatted down.

At the beginning, under the huge mental stimulation, Sasuke's brain fell into a brief state of shutdown. It was not until Kakashi arrived that he finally realized what he had done. He didn't even bother to stand up again, and he rolled and crawled towards Sakura and Kakashi.

Looking at the dying Sakura in his arms, Kakashi's sanity was about to collapse, and he cast a hateful gaze towards Sasuke who was using his hands and feet. At this moment, the weak Sakura gently pulled the corner of Kakashi's clothes and stopped Kakashi.

"Sakura!

Why!"

Sasuke finally reached Sakura's side and collapsed and yelled.

After hearing Sasuke's question, Sakura showed a sad curve at the corner of her mouth, and pointed her trembling finger at the tongue that protruded from her slightly open lips.

Sasuke didn't know what Sakura meant, but Kakashi understood everything instantly after seeing Sakura's actions.

"Is it Danzo?"

Kakashi's tone was very clear, but his shaking shoulders showed how angry he was at the moment.

Sakura nodded weakly.

"When did this happen?"

Kakashi forced himself to suppress his anger, asked Sakura again, and began to think about when Danzo had done it.

When she just graduated, Sakura had great talent, but it was not yet to the level that would impress Danzo. And after Tsunade returned to the village, under Tsunade's protection, Danzo still had no chance to take action.

Therefore, the only chance Danzo had left was—

"Konoha Collapse Plan!"

After listening to Kakashi's self-questioning and answering, Sakura nodded slightly again.

“My mission… is… to assassinate Sasuke.

Teacher...don't blame...him."

Sakura's voice also began to become intermittent.

Kakashi understood that the reason why things turned out this way was entirely because of Danzo Shimura.

It must be that Danzo controlled Sakura through the Seal of the Tongue and forced her to kill Sasuke. Sakura was unwilling to kill Sasuke, so she chose to die at his hands.

“Sasuke… now that I’m gone… you need to learn… to think, and not… be used.

Don’t…blame yourself.

Live well...on my behalf."

Sakura's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end, it was almost just the sound of panting.

"Sakura!"

Sasuke was already sobbing at this point.

Finally, Sakura gathered a chakra scalpel at her fingertips, slowly stretched it towards the forehead protector on Sasuke's head, and slowly moved it...

Even though Sakura's hands were trembling and her chakra was intermittent, the scratches she made were very straight.

Kakashi understood that this was Sakura seeing Sasuke off.

As the scratching was completed, Sakura's hands fell limply to the ground and she closed her eyes.

"Sakura—"

After witnessing Sakura's death, Sasuke finally broke down, and his three-magatama Sharingan that had been activated unknowingly began to spin wildly.

Finally, the Sharingan stopped rotating, and the pattern in Sasuke's bloodshot eyes suddenly turned into a hexagram similar to petals.

"Sasuke..."

Kakashi noticed the changes in Sasuke's eyes, but he didn't realize that his left eye had also changed slightly.

"You once told us that those who don't cherish their companions are worse than trash."

Sasuke slumped on the ground, tears streaming from his eyes, staring at Kakashi with a blank expression.

"Then what am I to be considered as someone who killed my companions with my own hands?

Tell me! Kakashi-sensei! "

At the end, Sasuke finally couldn't hold it in anymore and cried out at the top of his lungs.

"Sasuke, calm down!

Sakura must have been controlled by Danzo, and it is my fault as a teacher that I failed to discover it."

Kakashi didn't expect that the first time Sasuke called him "teacher" would be under such circumstances.

"You're only going to make Sakura-chan in Pure Land more miserable if you act like this."

Kakashi comforted Sasuke, and at the same time he was comforting himself.

At this moment, he was the one who could best understand Sasuke's feelings.

Because back then, Lin also died in his own hands on her own initiative.

"I'm determined to kill Shimura Danzo. Not even the Six Paths Sage can stop him. I say that!"

Sasuke suddenly stood up, his expression became ferocious:

"Then, I'm going to create a world with Sakura in it!"

Sasuke knew that Orochimaru had done in-depth research on the soul, and even if it was through Impure World Reincarnation, he must resurrect Sakura.

"Then I really want to thank you."

Sakura, unharmed, suddenly appeared in front of Sasuke again, looking at him with a pair of green eyes smiling.

Sasuke looked at Sakura in front of him, then turned to look at the corpse in Kakashi's hands. His mouth opened wide, unable to utter a word.

In just ten minutes, Sasuke's brain crashed for the second time.

"Sakura!"

After being shocked, Sasuke hugged Sakura directly to confirm whether this was an illusion.

"Ugh...Sasuke...I can't breathe!"

Feeling the strength of Sasuke's hands, Sakura found it difficult to breathe.

After hearing what Sakura said, Sasuke quickly let go, fearing that Sakura would die in his hands again.

"Huh—alive."

"The Soul-Death Technique?"

Kakashi looked at the "Sakura" in his arms. The stiffness of her muscles did not look like she had just died. He immediately understood Sakura's trick.

"Yes, you are worthy of being a teacher. You are really knowledgeable."

Sakura explained with a smile:

"I specially asked the hospital to 'borrow' this corpse in order to deal with special situations. I carefully modified it. Not only does it look exactly like me, but there are also blood bags hidden inside its internal organs."

"I see. I saw that a long time ago."

Thinking of his performance just now, Kakashi just felt embarrassed.

"is it?

Kakashi-sensei's acting skills are really outstanding."

Sakura suddenly showed a devilish smile, then covered her mouth and left eye with her palm, imitating Kakashi's look and tone:

"You're only going to make Sakura-chan in Pure Land more miserable if you act like this."

Kakashi blushed when he saw this, walked up to Sakura, and gently hit her on the head with his knife.

"it hurts!"

Sakura stuck out her tongue playfully, then took out a piece of white paper from her ninja tool bag and activated a thin illusion to cover it with a layer of mirror.

"Although it was just an accident that Kakashi-sensei came here, how about the gifts I gave you? Are you satisfied?"

Sakura unfolded the mirror in front of her chest, and Kakashi and Sasuke's three Mangekyō were reflected in the mirror.
