Naruto: My mother, Haruno Sakura, is so smart that she is almost a demon
Chapter 18: The Eve of the Wave Kingdom Mission
In the alley of Konoha Village, in a dead end.
Naruto sneaked up the wall and whispered into the radio:
"The target has entered the alley, OVER"
Sasuke, who was also holding a walkie-talkie, jumped onto the other side of the wall and nodded to Naruto.
In order not to alert the target, he lowered his voice and whispered into the intercom:
"The plan has entered the second phase, and the ninja beasts are entering the scene."
As Sasuke finished speaking, a little wild chrysanthemum walked into the entrance of the alley. It was Sakura's beloved pig Xiangling'er.
Xiangling was growling lowly and paddling the ground with his hind legs, as if he was ready to rush out like a pig at any time.
Seeing that the entrance was blocked, the target subconsciously wanted to climb up the house behind him, but found that the wall behind him was too flat and there was no place to gain leverage.
Fortunately, there are trash cans on both sides of the walls.
The target of the mission turned into a black shadow, stepped on the trash can next to him, and jumped onto the wall...
But Naruto, who had been waiting for a long time, was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He jumped up and grabbed the target with both hands, landing safely.
"Mission accomplished!"
Naruto held up the fat orange tiger-striped cat in his hand and shouted at Sasuke.
Sasuke jumped off the wall and nodded imperceptibly.
Kakashi also entered from the entrance and looked at the "Intimate Paradise" in his hand without even raising his eyes:
"The mission is completed only when it is returned to the client."
------
Mission Hall
"Little Tiger!" A wealthy lady hugged the orange tabby cat affectionately.
The poor little kitten was completely unable to break free from the shackles of fate, and with tears in its eyes it let the lady squeeze and flatten it.
"I'm sorry to bother you Konoha ninjas this time.
"Xiaohu, don't run around next time."
The lady happily paid the balance of the task and left with the howling tiger cub in her arms.
Naruto, with scratches all over his face, swallowed his saliva:
"I think I understand why it ran away."
Sasuke and Kakashi also showed their approval.
After watching the daimyo's wife leave, the three men and the pig came to the task dispatch office again to accept the task.
"The next task for Class 7 is:
Help the ninjas who are out take care of the children, clean the yard, and help the villagers harvest sweet potatoes..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat at the task dispatching desk, puffing on his cigarette while explaining the next task to Team 7.
During this month, a new batch of Genin were completing missions to gain experience. Sarutobi Hiruzen did not work in the Hokage Building, but came to the mission hall in person to assign missions to the newly graduated Genin.
After all, almost all the future successors of the great ninja clans will graduate in this class, and personally assigning them tasks is also to make himself familiar with them and leave a good impression on them.
"No, I don't want to do this kind of mission again!
I want a more important mission, please give us another one."
Naruto crossed his arms over his chest, refusing to do any more low-level tasks.
Although Sasuke didn't express his opinion, his eyes were full of affirmation.
"Idiot, you guys are still newbies, you need to do simple tasks to gain experience.
That’s how everyone got here!”
Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could reply, Iruka on the side immediately shouted at him.
Are you kidding? The guy in front of me is the student I taught. If he were to offend the Hokage, I, his teacher, might be implicated.
"But, but, Sakura is also a novice, why can't she do these boring tasks!"
Iruka was speechless for a moment, he was actually wondering why Sakura was not in Team 7, but he didn't ask because he was afraid that it might involve something.
"Sakura has accepted a special mission entrusted by Konoha Hospital and is now assisting Konoha Hospital in carrying out departmental reforms. Didn't I tell you about this before?"
Kakashi answered Naruto's question on behalf of Iruka.
“Besides, it’s not like Sakura didn’t participate in these D-rank missions.
According to the regulations, tasks completed by ninja beasts or summoned beasts are also considered tasks completed by ninjas.
Although Sakura didn't come, she still sent out ninja beasts to assist you."
As he said this, Kakashi gestured to Ringing with his chin.
Naruto looked at the small wild chrysanthemum on the ground, and his anger grew even stronger:
"Who wants this stupid pig? I want to do the mission with Sakura!"
Hearing the contempt in Naruto's words, Xiangling'er's wild nature was awakened.
He dug the ground twice and charged towards Naruto with red eyes.
Naruto didn't dare to hurt Sakura's beloved pig. He felt that Sakura didn't like him very much. If he hurt her pet again, there would be no possibility for him and Sakura to be together again.
Soon, the man and the pig started chasing each other in the mission hall, and the scene was very lively.
"Cough-cough-"
Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed twice and signaled to Kakashi.
Kakashi understood and disappeared in an instant. He picked up the angry Xiangling and patted its back to calm it down.
With his other hand, he grabbed Naruto's collar and dragged him to Sarutobi Hiruzen, pressing Naruto's head to apologize:
"Hokage-sama, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Kakashi has already played the bad guy, so the Sandaime naturally has to play the good guy.
"It doesn't matter."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was calm, as if he didn't take this little matter to heart.
"I understand. I will assign you a C-rank mission. Haruno Sakura will also participate in this mission."
"Great!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's words made Naruto jump up excitedly.
Sasuke also crossed his arms and smiled with satisfaction.
But Kakashi frowned.
Because he knew that Sakura had not helped Konoha Hospital at all since she came up with the idea, and had been practicing medical ninjutsu for more than a month.
He also tried to ask Konoha Hospital for help, but was firmly rejected by the doctors and nurses of the hospital:
"Sakura is a natural born medical ninja. Without her, Konoha's medical care will regress 50 years. Kakashi, do you want to become a sinner of Konoha?"
Kakashi wisely gave up the idea of getting entangled with Konoha Hospital.
After all, being a ninja is a high-risk profession, and getting injured is commonplace. Anyone with normal intelligence would not take the initiative to offend a doctor.
"Hokage-sama..."
Kakashi hesitated to speak. After all, it was not that he didn't want Sakura to return to the team, but he just didn't have the ability to do so, you understand.
"Don't worry, I will go to the medical department myself."
The Sandaime understood Kakashi's difficulties when he saw his conflicted expression.
Since it was against the rules for the Hokage to give orders directly to the Konoha Hospital, he could only go to the medical department in charge of the hospital first.
------
Medical Department
"Sarutobi, without Haruno Sakura, Konoha's medical care will be set back 50 years. Do you want to become Konoha's sinner?"
Utane Koharu pointed at the Sandaime angrily, spitting everywhere.
Not to mention that Haruno Sakura's talent in medical ninjutsu is no less than Tsunade's.
The department reforms she proposed can greatly improve the work efficiency of Konoha Hospital, increasing the number of patients the hospital can receive every day by three times.
This is all money!
Since they only need to learn knowledge of a certain subject, the training period of medical ninjas is greatly shortened.
This is all money!
In addition, Sakura Haruno suggested training medical ninjas to use secret codes when prescribing medicine to patients, thus correcting the "bad habit" of patients going out to buy their own medicine while seeing a doctor in the hospital.
This is all money!!
Utane Koharu is eager to hold Sakura, this cash cow, in her hands, and is thinking about how to convince Sarutobi Hiruzen to let her leave Team 7 and become the vice president of Konoha Hospital.
Who would have thought that this old monkey would find me first and ask Haruno Sakura to return to the team.
Utane Koharu was naturally furious.
"I understand your feelings, and I know about Haruno Sakura's medical talent, but..."
Faced with the anger of his old classmate, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to patiently explain.
"But what? Knowing her talent, shouldn't we let her stay in the hospital?"
Utane Koharu interrupted before Sarutobi Hiruzen could finish his words.
"Haruno Sakura's ninjutsu talent is equally outstanding. Do you want to train a miracle doctor for Konoha, or train another Minato?"
Seeing that he was interrupted, Sarutobi Hiruzen went straight to the point.
Utane Koharu fell silent.
She understood what Sarutobi Hiruzen meant.
Now Sarutobi is already very old and his strength has declined significantly, and the Sandaime's rule has also entered its final stage.
The fifth Hokage is most likely to be Tsunade, Jiraiya or Kakashi.
These people are not easy to control, so if the Third Generation Group wants to return to the pinnacle of power, it can only hope to support the Sixth Generation Hokage.
Originally, she, Hiruzen, and En were planning to let Uzumaki Naruto, who was already bound by gratitude, become the Sixth Hokage.
However, Naruto's identity is always a time bomb. Who knows whether he will feel resentment towards Konoha after learning about his life experience.
Like Minato, Haruno Sakura has no other interests behind her. If she wants to become Hokage, she can only rely on the power of the Third Generation Group.
In addition, if Sakura did not have the same military achievements as Minato, not many people would respond to her request to seize power.
If Haruno Sakura can become the Sixth Hokage, then a mere civilian ninja can be manipulated as he pleases.
only......
"Does Haruno Sakura really have the same talent as Minato?"
"Worse than that."
Sarutobi Hiruzen understood Utane Koharu's talent in judging people. After all, he was the one who discovered the famous Three Ninjas and Yellow Flash.
Utane Koharu didn't say anything else, which was considered as her tacit agreement for Sakura to return to the team.
After briefly chatting about the current situation of Konoha Hospital, Sarutobi Hiruzen also stood up and prepared to leave the medical department.
However, after taking two steps, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have remembered something and turned to Utane Koharu and said:
"By the way, the koi I raise in the pond have been acting up lately. I don't know what's wrong with them. They always look listless and lie motionless at the bottom of the pond.
It used to be very friendly, but now it always avoids people when it sees them approaching, and the color of the patterns on its body has also faded a lot.
Send someone to check and see if he is sick."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was filled with worry.
