At the Loulan Ruins, Konoha and Sand Village looked at each other in bewilderment.
Scorpion was getting impatient and jumped onto the platform. When he saw Scorpion's body, his eyes lit up:"Hey, Chiyo-chan, is this your new puppet? Wow, why did you use my appearance? It looks so weird. Is he broken?"
"he……"Chiyo is also an experienced ninja, but faced with such a change, she didn't know what to say for a moment."Do you... do you feel something is wrong, Scorpion?"
"What?"
"that is……"Chiyo was so confused that she didn't know what to say.
Seeing that she couldn't calm down for a while, Gaara, who was a bystander, became the one who made the decision:"Let's go back to the Sand Village to see if there are any more accidents."
Chiyo nodded blankly, looking at the corpse of Scorpion on the ground, but she couldn't move her feet.
Scorpion took out his scroll and sealed him in it.
"It just so happens that there is still an empty space in my puppet scroll."
Looking at his innocent face that didn't know what happened, Chiyo choked up a little, but soon wiped away her tears firmly,"Let's go back."
Sarutobi Asuma and Kai looked at each other and decided to leave Kai's team to follow the Sand Village to see what happened, while Asuma's team rushed back to Konoha to confirm Konoha's situation.
……
This is just one of the many events that happened after the end of the sky curtain.
The Tsuchikage and the Raikage jointly requested a meeting with Konoha and Sunagakure. Due to the closed nature of the Kirigakure, the other major countries wanted to take the opportunity to exclude the Water Country, but the Daimyo of the Water Country learned the news and issued an extremely tough order to the Kirigakure, requiring the Water Country to stop staying in the village.
In the end, it was the Water Kage who proposed the Five Kage meeting.
The meeting of the Five Kage in Konoha Village put enough pressure on the Third Hokage. The entire Konoha was busy and exhausted to welcome the arrival of the Four Kages.
Jiraiya and Tsunade, who had just returned, were caught by the Third Hokage and sent to be firefighters. They would go wherever there was a shortage of manpower.
In the treacherous atmosphere, Team 7 received its second A-level mission.
It was another escort mission.
However, this time, they did not need to send the other party to other places, but only needed to ensure their safety in Konoha during the Five Kage Talks.
"Guarding in Konoha?" Sakura was a little confused:"The village is full of ninjas, who will take action in Konoha?"
Naruto didn't care what the other party's reason was. He was just excited that he could perform A-level tasks again, instead of those trivial tasks:"It must be an important guest!"
Sakura was unconvinced and said:"If it is an important guest, the village should have sent out the Anbu!"
Naruto hesitated:"Maybe it's because of the shortage of manpower.……?"
"Is it really okay when the shortage is so severe?" Sakura said worriedly,"We are just Genin!"
In the Hokage's office, they met the person who entrusted them with the task - a"boy" with short black hair and dressed like a boy."
"He" looked a little nervous, and his eyes frequently glanced at Naruto. However, since the broadcast of the Sky Curtain, Naruto became famous all over the world, so Team 7 was not surprised by"his" behavior.
The Third Hokage said:"The mission this time is a little special... Because of this special feature, she specifically asked Team 7... To be more precise, Naruto is the one who has to protect her."
Before the three Genin could react, Kakashi suddenly realized something:"Could it be that...……?"
"That's right, the person you are protecting this time is the descendant of Loulan, the Queen of Loulan who appeared on the sky, the daughter of Sarah."
Naruto and Sakura suddenly widened their eyes at the same time and said in surprise:"Huh!! ?"
Sakura said in astonishment:"But! But! The hair color and eye color are different!"
"Ever since Tianmu released the news about Loulan, the"young man" said,"My tribesmen and I have been harassed constantly...
Some people thought that I was a descendant of the queen and had the power to control dragon veins, and even hired ninjas to capture me...
Fortunately, I am still a child, and my appearance is different from that on Tianmu, so I cut my hair short, dyed it black, and wore colored contact lenses to change my eye color, pretending to be a boy, and rushed to Konoha with my tribesmen.
"
"But,"Sakura said,"Isn't Loulan in the Kingdom of Wind? Wouldn't it be closer to seek the protection of the Sand Village?""
"The boy asked back:"Isn't Baizu a ninja from the Sand Village?"
Sakura was speechless.
"I don't trust anyone." The"boy" looked at Naruto and said,"I only trust him. My mother once believed in you, and you didn't let her down, so I... hope you don't let me down either." Naruto was stunned at first, then he laughed heartily and said,"Oh oh oh oh oh!! You have good vision!! I will definitely protect you!!"
"The boy blinked his eyes, and then he smiled easily:"……Great, you look exactly like the one on the sky curtain."
She introduced herself,"I inherited my mother's name, so I'm also called Sarah, you can just call me Sarah."
"Don't think you can be careless just because you stay in Konoha Village," the Third Hokage watched them finish their conversation and said seriously,"Many ninjas from other villages will flock to Konoha during this Five Kage Summit, and some of them may have intentions towards Loulan... You must conceal Sarah's identity until the Five Kage Summit is successfully concluded, do you understand!"
"Yes!"
Kakashi led Team 7 away.
Sakura said worriedly:"If Sarah comes to find Naruto...what about Timothy? If Timothy can also see the sky, Hyde will definitely attack them. Can he escape? If he comes to Konoha, he won't entrust Naruto to defeat Hyde, right?"
Kakashi smiled and said:"It's very likely"
"Wow——it seems like a very difficult and troublesome task just thinking about it, why is Kakashi-sensei so happy!"
"Well...hahahaha, if Timothy comes, Asumaban should come with him, right?"
"Because of Shikamaru?" Sakura looked at Kakashi's smiling face and sighed,"Oh, forget it.……"
Since knowing that Rin and Obito have been watching him, Kakashi-sensei has been filled with a cheerful aura, as if nothing can disturb his good mood.
After all, I am the only one who is worried...
Seeing Sakura in a low mood, Sasuke suddenly said:"What are you worried about?"
"Eh? Huh?"
Sasuke said coldly:"If you are worried that you are not strong enough and can't handle it, it would be better to train more instead of worrying here."
"I... I," Sakura was flustered for a moment, and forced a smile:"Yes... Sasuke is right!"
But...
Sasuke, who is so powerful and known as a genius, died in some difficult battle. Whenever Sakura thought of this, she was terrified. Naruto is just a loser now, but he can become so powerful in the future...
I...
How hard should I work to help Sasuke in the battle and catch up with Naruto?……
""By the way," Kakashi encouraged Sakura as she became more depressed under Sasuke's strict urging,"I have good news to tell you - Yamato and I have known each other for a long time. To celebrate the establishment of the Yamato class, the two classes will have a social dinner together tonight and have barbecue! Sarah, come along too! How about it?""
"Yamato's team?" Sakura really shifted her attention:"Is Sai... here too?""
The one... who replaced Sasuke after his death.
But as soon as she asked the question, she realized that she had asked a very bad question.
Fortunately, Kakashi cleverly avoided her words,"Because of the puppet seal left on me by Obiru, I may have to report to the Curse-Removing Team regularly. When I'm not here, Yamato will be fully responsible for the work of leading the jonin of Team 7. In this way, Team 7 and Yamato's team will become brother classes. You have to get along well."
……
On the other side, Xin was giving Sai a warning:"When you meet Team 7 later, absolutely, absolutely do not say anything to Sasuke like 'You are the one who died', 'weak', 'replaced by me', etc., understand!"
""But," Sai said expressionlessly,"Isn't that an objective fact? Didn't my brother say that this was an important social event, but we couldn't tell the truth? Is a lie better?""
"……"Xin looked at Sai steadily for a long while, then sighed:"At the dinner tonight, Sai, you'd better not talk."
Aburame Togen, who was watching from the audience, couldn't help but feel sympathetic towards Sai's lack of common sense, but he didn't have the patience to point out one by one.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Xin:"Thank you for your hard work, Xin."
Xin used a lot of effort to hold back from glaring at him: It was Gen who taught Sai to be like this!
