Ning Ci: "...uh...that's right."

"Stupid Li," came a sweet voice suddenly.

"Tiantian," Li looked back in surprise.

Standing behind the two, Tian Tian smiled and said, "What Ning Ci means is that he agrees with you."

Li was ecstatic, and looked at Ning Ci next to him: "Really, Ning Ci?"

Ning Ci nodded: "As an opponent, I have always been there."

Tian Tian walked two steps forward to the railing, and she and Ning Ci stood beside Li.

This is a high place in Konoha, with a fairly wide field of vision. The nearby park is swaying and swaying, with fragrant flowers and trees, and there are many houses in the distance. In the slightly cool chill, pedestrians who got up early in twos and threes walked on the street at a leisurely pace.

The three of them were speechless for a while.

Time seemed to stand still.

What broke this silence was Naruto, Kiba, Shikamaru, and Choji who appeared at the bottom of the steps at some time. The four of them raised their eyes, and several piercing eyes shot at Neji.

Neji: "..."

The posture of the group of four skipping classes gave people the illusion that they were looking for someone in the village to go out and fight in groups.

Although it is true to say so.

The four explained their intentions.Shikamaru's eyes swept over Tiantian and Ningji: "Although it is troublesome, more people can help more."

Li Momo lowered his eyelids, secretly hating himself for being helpless.

"Li," Ning Ci glanced at him, "you do what you should do."

In the end, what I had to do was to secretly follow behind... every day I silently complained in my heart.

After the assembly was over, several people came to the entrance of the village together.

Shikamaru: "Three 10 minutes is up." He glanced at Naruto, Kiba, Neji, Tenten, Choji, and the final team was like this. "The gathering number is six people."

"Yoshi!" Naruto waved his arms towards the sky, "Everyone must follow closely behind me!"

No one cares about him.

Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.

"Hey, Naruto," Shikamaru looked at this teammate with a headache, "I'm the team leader. Although it's troublesome."

"Tch—" Naruto muttered, "Is it really okay to entrust you with such an important task? I always feel that you are a bit unreliable."

Kiba: "Naruto, don't act like you're the boss." He changed the subject, "But then again, I can't accept such an unmotivated Shikamaru commanding us."

In Kiba's arms, Akamaru barked in approval.

Choji, who has been close friends with Shikamaru for many years, said: "Shikamaru has been promoted to Chunin, and it is impossible not to obey his orders, because the senior management of the village agrees with his ability to handle affairs."

Tiantian also agreed: "I believe in Shikamaru."

Naruto muttered: "Even Tiantianjiang said that..."

"Then, you should have a corresponding battle plan." Neji said rationally, "According to our current situation, while dealing with the enemy, the possibility of being ambushed is quite high."

Shikamaru took a step forward: "In short, our purpose is to save people. In other words, the enemy can easily get the upper hand. So, I made a moving team formation to deal with the enemy's attack at any time."

His tone suddenly became serious, and his eyes became serious and sharp: "If someone ignores my existence and acts without authorization-the whole army will be wiped out."

Shikamaru's plan was to use a single file, with Kiba as the lead scout, followed by Shikamaru, followed by Naruto, Choji, and finally Neji who was in charge of the most difficult post-war work.

"That's it," Shikamaru concluded, "Got it?"

Several people nodded.

"Sack of leg beans!" Tian Tian pointed at himself in confusion, "What about me?"

"Tiantian you are not only good at melee combat, but also good at long-distance ninja attack. You are a master who can be used from far and near, and I heard that your main job in Kaiban is to cover." Shikamaru looked at her and said, " So you don't have a fixed position, and you can flexibly change and cover according to the needs of the team."

Tian Tian nodded: "Understood."

"Then, I want to know how our fighting power is." Shikamaru rolled up the scroll, "Take out all the ninja tools you bring and show me, so I can know."

Naruto, Kiba, Choji, and Neji all took out their ninja tools, but Tiantian was hesitating.

Shikamaru was confused: "What's wrong?"

Tian Tian shrugged: "If I take out all my ninja tools, I'm afraid we won't be able to set off until dark."

Shikamaru raised his forehead: "Okay, I get it."

"If there is no doubt, I will emphasize the last point." Shikamaru said seriously.

——"For me, Sasuke is neither a close friend nor a favorite of me... But, Sasuke is a ninja of our Konoha Village and a companion, so I will try my best to bring him back. This is the spirit of Konoha."

Everyone's expressions became gradually serious.

Tian Tian glanced at everyone and lowered his eyes.

Are you desperately chasing?The final result is not the case.Almost all the people standing here went out standing up and were carried back.

Indeed, Tian Tian has no deep friendship with Sasuke, but he is willing to contribute as Konoha's partner.

However, she suddenly thought of Sasuke's eyes in the death forest.The blazing fire of revenge, and the willingness to renounce even falling into hell.

Forcibly bringing back such a person who is determined to leave regardless of his wishes...is it really right?

In any case, what she can do as the cover job is to try her best to protect her companions from getting hurt.

"Yoxi, let's go!"

"Wait a moment!"

A group of people turned their heads in surprise or confusion.

Naruto: "Sakura?"

"Hokage-sama has already told us everything, I'm sorry, but we can't take you with us." Shikamaru said calmly, "Because even you can't convince Sasuke, we can only work hard to convince him. Sakura, your appearance ends here—"

Sakura lowered her eyes.

Naruto was even more surprised: "So, Sakura met Sasuke?"

Sakura closed her eyes, burst into tears, and cried in a deep voice: "Naruto... this is my lifelong wish, please bring Sasuke back. I don't have this ability, I can't persuade Sasuke, now I can The only one who can stop Sasuke and save him is you, Naruto..."

Naruto stared blankly at Sakura.

After she finished speaking, Naruto suddenly lowered his eyelids, his blue eyes were like the surface of a silvery lake flickering in the sun: "Because Sakura likes Sasuke very much, so... I... can deeply know that Sakura is really sad now." place."

Ok?

...Because you like Sasuke very much too?

Sakura crossed her arms and cried even harder: "Naruto...thank you."

Naruto gave a thumbs up and said firmly, "I will definitely bring Sasuke back! This is our promise in this life!"

"Naruto!"

Everyone was startled and looked at Tiantian who suddenly shouted in surprise.

This cry was impulsive, shocking, and seemed to be a little flustered.

"What, what's the matter? A sudden shout..."

"No...no, nothing." Tiantian murmured.

Now, only she, only she knows that Naruto later spent his entire youth chasing Sasuke back.

Even though Naruto would have done the same without Sakura's words, but what Sakura said was a heavy burden that fell on Naruto's shoulders.

Tian Tian glanced at Sakura.

Her cherry-colored hair was slightly disheveled, her emerald-green eyes were like emeralds soaked in water, and her eyes were slightly red and swollen. It seemed that she had cried so many times.

"Shikamaru," Tiantian took a deep breath, looked at Shikamaru, and said in a serious tone that had never been seen before.

——"Bring Sakura."

***

Only by letting her see with her own eyes what a heavy price everyone has paid to save her favorite Sasuke, can she grow quickly, instead of putting Naruto in shackles for life.

"What!" Shikamaru was both stunned and sullen - he had obviously made his words very clear just now! "With all due respect, Sakura, you are not capable enough now, joining reluctantly will only hinder us."

Sakura lowered her head.

Staring at Shikamaru every day, he firmly said: "If there is danger, I will sacrifice my life to protect my companion."

Sakura is the one who will inherit the name of Tsunade-sama Sannin in the future.Believe that she is strong enough every day.

"Really, why is this..." Shikamaru frowned.

"Shikamaru," Neji, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "There must be a reason for her to say that every day."

"Really, I got it." Shikamaru rubbed the back of his head, "Tiantian, take Sakura with you and be careful. Let's go, we've already lost a lot of time."

The five marched in a single file as planned, Tian Tian and Xiao Ying followed from afar.

"Why do you want to..." Sakura opened her mouth, her voice was slightly hoarse because of the previous crying, "As Shikamaru said, I can't really help... I'm not even as good as Naruto."

Tian Tian smiled.

"Instead of crying secretly, or asking others, why don't you think about what you can do? Anyway, Sasuke-kun is your favorite person."

Sakura drooped her eyelids, her gaze that had been somewhat slack from crying slowly gathered.

"……Um."

"What's wrong?" Tiantian and Xiaoying jumped down from the tree.The five people who were following before had stopped at some point.

Shikamaru looked at them: "There is a trap here."

Neji found the location of the four tone ninjas through his eyes.Fat Jiro Fang was solved by three generations before, but it seems that new members have joined.

Shikamaru begins to formulate a battle plan.The five soldiers divided into two groups and launched an attack on the resting Otonin, while Tenten and Sakura were in charge of covering.

"Let's go first." Shikamaru looked back at them, "Tiantian Xiaosakura, you guys follow later."

"OK!"

The author has something to say:

Recently, my physical condition is not good, all kinds of problems broke out, and the medicine piled up into a hill... The update is a bit slow, I hope the little angels will understand~

Fascinated by Zhuban CP... Don't be emotional about falling in love and killing each other~ Is there anyone who is the same as the author~~~

It’s just that I personally think that the Warring States Period is a relatively deeper subject in Hokage, and it’s not easy to dabble in or control it.

In addition, why is Mrs. Madara called the battlefield rose? Σ(?д?lll) What the hell, I beg the little angels to popularize it~
