[Naruto Storyline] Wandering

When Sai and Haruno Sakura returned from the Kyubi Research Institute to the dormitory of the medical support team, the dormitory was already in a sea of ​​flames, and the members of the medical team, Anbu and the military team were also temporarily detained by the government of the country of water.

"Go to the nearby hospital to treat the wound first." Haruno Sakura put her hand on Sai's hand holding the plate. Sai's hand was cold and wet, "I'll drive."

Saii smiled, then put down the back of the driver's seat, climbed onto the rear seat with hands and feet together, and then lay down heavily, the blood trickling down his arms and soaking the floor mats, he quietly Lying on the back seat, Haruno Sakura adjusted the driver's seat and turned her head to look at Sai who was tightly pursing her lips. She felt a little sore in her heart. She turned the car and talked to Sai: "Don't fall asleep, you It'll be fine."

However, Sai didn't answer her, hearing no response from the back seat, Haruno Sakura was a little flustered, and her foot stepped on the accelerator pedal more forcefully.

"Talk to me, you don't say a word like this, I'm a little..." The words choked in her throat, and Haruno Sakura couldn't help but tightly grasped the steering wheel.

"What do you want to hear?" Saii chuckled. Not only did he have two gunshot wounds on his arms and thighs, but he was also shot in the right chest and lower right abdomen the moment he got stuck. Under the tense environment during the battle, he didn't feel the pain of the wound, but once he relaxed, Sai only felt that all the strength in his body was being pulled away continuously, and even Haruno Sakura's voice was erratic in his ears.

"You can say whatever you want..."

Saii’s mind was filled with the sketching events of the club before, and he tried to describe that memory in broken sentences, but the coldness and dizziness around him made him unable to organize his words, and the severe tinnitus even made him unable to hear Sakura Haruno clearly. Shout out to his voice.The car stopped at the entrance of the nearest hospital, Haruno Sakura opened the door of the back seat, Saii was curled up, with thick blood flowing out from his fingers, she discovered the two parts of Saii's chest and abdomen More serious wounds.

Sai was quickly sent to the operating room for emergency treatment, and Haruno Sakura, who suffered skin trauma, also received debridement and bandaging in the emergency room.

The operation lasted six hours, and the red light above the operating room finally went out. Saii was pushed out of the operating room by the nurse with the closed chest drainage tube hanging on his body. His vital signs were temporarily stabilized. The gunshot wound on the thigh was not a fatal wound. Although the bullet that hit the lower right abdomen had injured the intestine, after timely laparotomy and debridement, no serious intra-abdominal contamination was caused. The most serious wound was the wound on the right chest. The lungs were penetrated, causing broken ribs and open pneumothorax, as well as severe hemothorax, so Saii had to be treated in the hospital for a period of time.

Haruno Sakura, who was sitting anxiously waiting outside the operating room, covered her face with relief, only endless gratitude remained in her heart.

After hearing about this incident, the Country of Fire quickly negotiated with the Country of Water through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and strongly condemned the attack and detention of the medical aid team. Akatsuki colluded, and could only push the responsibility for the attack on the Kyubi Research Institute and the medical support team, the destruction of the vaccine, and the grounding of the Kyubi plan to Akatsuki, and then claimed that the temporary detention of the medical support team was to protect her personal safety. The country took the opportunity to sell the Kyubi vaccine reproduced by Konoha to the country of water at a high price.Knowing that the asking price of the Land of Fire is ridiculously high, but because the Land of Water knew it was wrong in this incident, it had to grit its teeth and accept the offer from the Land of Fire, and promised to leave the Land of Water with all members of the medical support team in the Land of Fire Ensure their personal safety before.

At this point, the series of events caused by the Kyubi virus finally came to an end. The medical team headed by Haruno Sakura stopped the spread of the Kyubi virus in the Land of Water in time. With the data backed up and uploaded every day, the Nation of Fire successfully reproduced the development process of the Kyubi vaccine and successfully passed the Phase III trial of the vaccine, which made the Nation of Fire the biggest beneficiary, which no one expected However, Akatsuki, who carefully planned to restart the Kyubi plan through the outbreak of the Kyubi virus, not only did not get any benefits from this Kyubi plan, but lost a lot of money, which made Payne feel angry.

Sai was lying in the single ward of the highest level, happily watching TV news while waiting for Haruno Sakura to buy porridge for him. He recovered very well, and now he can eat semi-liquid food.

Haruno Sakura pushed the door and walked into Sai's ward with preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and the fragrant porridge was gently placed on Sai's bedside.Her hair and body carried the coolness of the late autumn evening breeze, and her eyes were as clear as autumn water. Haruno Sakura sat down beside Sai's bed and said, "We can go back to China soon, and the special train from the Fire Country will come to pick you up next week." Let's go back." She happily said to Sai, "Also, Konoha sent me a pardon in advance, so I can go back to Konoha."

Sai held the porridge and drank it unhurriedly: "Congratulations, what are your plans for the future?"

Haruno Sakura tilted her head and thought for a while: "When I return to Konoha and take care of my own affairs, I want to go to Nangagawa to visit Kakashi-sensei first, and then go to Tsurugen to visit Tsunade-sensei."

"Up to you." Sai shrugged.

"By the way, Sai, I want to ask you something..." Haruno Sakura looked up nervously at Sai, with a look of hesitation.

"If you want to ask about Itachi..." Sai put down the spoon, looked at Haruno Sakura's expectant eyes, couldn't help showing a faint smile, and then sighed, "I really think you are It's kind of stupid in some ways."

"What are you talking about?" Haruno Sakura was at a loss.

"The destruction of the vaccine and the explosion of the Kyubi Research Institute can be said to mean that Akatsuki's Kyubi plan has failed, but Itachi shot Kisame at this time." Saii muttered to himself, and he turned his head to see Haruno Sakura's shocked expression, " Do you want to ask why?" Seeing Haruno Sakura nodded silently, Sai held the preserved egg and lean meat porridge in his hand and said with a thoughtful smile, "You just escaped, my gun jammed, I thought I was going to explain Here it is... At that time, I didn't expect Itachi to shoot Kisame."

"So, he saved you?"

Saii nodded reluctantly: "You can say that." He put the bowl in his hand back on the bedside table, "However, Itachi's real purpose of saving me was to save you. I think he was impulsive this time."

Haruno Sakura's gaze fell motionlessly on the fallen leaves outside the window, as if she didn't hear Sai's words.

In fact, Haruno Sakura wanted to ask Sai to confirm about Sasuke's cheating, but right now, she couldn't ask any more.

A week later, the fire country medical support team boarded the train back to Konoha as scheduled. Along the way, Haruno Sakura was in the gap between waking and dreaming. In the cool sunlight coming in from the window, she saw Itachi's figure flickered, Haruno Sakura always felt that everything in the country of water was like a long dream, but the hug he gave her was real, the red bean milk tea he handed over was real, and he wrapped her The coat on the bed was real, and so was her worry when he lay in the hospital bed.

This time farewell, maybe we will meet again on the battlefield.

Asking herself, Haruno Sakura couldn't accept that between her and Itachi, someone must die at the gunpoint of the other party.

Back in Konoha, Haruno Sakura and Sai reported the details of the medical assistance in the country of water to the intelligence department.When Shimura Danzo saw the part of Uchiha Itachi killing Kisame Kisame in Sai's report, he fell into a long silence, and finally closed the report wordlessly without making any comments.

Haruno Sakura accepted the pardon, and her personal file was reviewed and re-enrolled in the military. Haruno Sakura has no objection to this, and the person who can make her willingly give up her military status and give up her future has already betrayed her, Konoha, and Fire Why didn't she choose to return to her companions?So Haruno Sakura obediently agreed to the order to be dispatched to the No. 391 Hospital in the northern part of the Fire Country.This area belongs to the northern theater of Fire Nation, Haruno Sakura is very happy about it. In this way, even if Fire Nation and Akatsuki go to war, she can stay far away from the southern battlefield where Itachi is located. At the same time, she can Take care of each other with your teacher Senju Tsunade.

Before going to Heyuan, Haruno Sakura had half a month to prepare.

After everything was settled, Haruno Sakura went to Yamanaka's house to visit Ino first. She heard from Shikamaru that the Kyubi virus had invaded Ino's central nervous system. After a few days of coma, Ino's brain was damaged and lost Most of the memory has now retreated from the position of the Institute of Microbiology.

Haruno Sakura knocked on the door of Yamanaka's house anxiously. Ino's father Yamanaka Kai showed a surprised expression when he saw Haruno Sakura, and then opened the door silently to welcome her in.Ino was sitting in the yard arranging flowers, her light golden hair glowed beautifully in the sun, Haruno Sakura went to Ino and squatted down, watching her focus on pruning and arranging the flower branches in her hand without making a sound.

"Your skill in arranging flowers is really good." Sakura Haruno praised sincerely.

Ino glanced at Haruno Sakura indifferently, and thanked her lightly: "Thank you for the compliment." While admiring the finished product in her hand, she said to Haruno Sakura, "If you like it, I can sell it to you."

"Ino, she is..." Haiyi couldn't help but speak, but Haruno Sakura signaled him not to speak with her eyes.

Haruno Sakura stretched out her hand to take the vase for flower arrangement from Ino's hand, and there was still residual warmth from Ino's palm on it, Haruno Sakura looked at Ino and nodded and said: "Okay, sell it to me, I'm going to move to a new house soon, just right One ornament is missing."

Haruno Sakura didn't ask the price, but just took out all the money in her wallet, Ino gave her a strange look: "It doesn't need so much." She turned and went into the back room to give Haruno Sakura some change.

Looking at Ino's figure, Haiyi sighed deeply, he took Haruno Sakura's hand, and said softly: "Sakura, don't worry, Ino can hardly remember everyone now, not only you, she even Shikamaru I don’t know each other anymore, and Ino’s mother is not around, so now she only has an impression of me.”

"Uncle, I heard Shikamaru say this, don't be too sad." Haruno Sakura patted the hand of the man in front of her.

"Has Sakura returned to Konoha now?" Hai nodded, then asked with concern.

"Well, I'm back. It's just that I have to report to Heyuan 391 Hospital soon, and there is still half a month before departure."

"Well, that's going to be soon, stay in Konoha for a few days, and then set off when you have enough rest." Haiyi said with a smile.

"I won't stay in Konoha for too long, because I want to take advantage of this rest period to go to Nangagawa in the west. After Kakashi's teacher was transferred, I haven't had time to visit him. It's rare to have such a During a free day, I just had time to visit him." Haruno Sakura explained to Haiyi.

"Kakashi..." Hearing this familiar name, Haiyi showed a gloomy expression, "Say hello to him for me, and, when you get to Heyuan and see Tsunade-sama, please also convey my message to her. Greetings, Ino used to be her student, we all feel very sorry for what happened to Tsunade-sama."

"I understand." Haruno Sakura lowered her eyelids, when Ino came out from the back room, she handed the change in her hand to Haruno Sakura, and then returned to her chair without looking back and continued to trim the flower branches.Haruno Sakura looked away from Ino, she bowed to Haiyi, and left the flower shop in Yamanaka with Ino's flower arrangement.

Haruno Sakura returned to the house where she and Sasuke used to live. This was her only residence in Konoha. A layer of fine grass grew in the deep pit, and it has been more than four years since she left Konoha, and the house in front of her may not have been lived in for four years.Haruno Sakura couldn't help sighing, took out the key and opened the door, all this was very familiar to her, but now it seems so strange.

There was a layer of dust floating in the room, and Haruno Sakura stood blankly in the middle of the room for a long time, she suddenly understood the meaning of the word "things are right and people are wrong"—whether it was the silly and sweet confession back then or the boy she wanted to be warm , can only stay in the era of not knowing the difficult times of the world, and she and Sasuke have been washed away in the torrent of time. She is not the girl who would never turn back for love, and Sasuke is not the youth with a bright future and a bright future.

Haruno Sakura placed the flower arrangement on the bedside table in the bedroom, and there was a photo of her and Sasuke on it, but it was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the expressions on the faces of the two of them could not be seen clearly in the photo.Haruno Sakura held on to the photo frame blankly, and finally put it in the deepest part of the drawer—Sasuke took nothing away from this house, and he returned all these heavy memories to Haruno Sakura, since he is so If there is no concern, then she doesn't have to have any regrets about those old things.

That night, Haruno Sakura got on the train to Nanjiachuan. On the train, she slept very soundly for the first time, as if she wanted to forget all the pain, tears and sadness in her long youth.

She understands that people must learn to say goodbye to the past before they can really start a new life.

It took a long time for the train to reach the city where Nangagawa was located, but it took another five hours to take a bus to reach Nangagawa County where Kakashi was located.Haruno Sakura hugged her carry-on backpack and sat on the dilapidated bus, looking out of the window was a strange and desolate scenery.It's almost winter, and the winter in a foreign land is always cold in people's hearts.

Kakashi is thinner than Haruno Sakura's impression, but his eyes are still deep and bright. Even though they have been separated for many years, Kakashi and her are as close as teachers and students back then. Kakashi took Haruno Sakura to a local restaurant During the dinner, he asked about Haruno Sakura, Konoha, and Sasuke. Haruno Sakura told Kakashi what happened in these years.Kakashi listened without saying a word, and finally smiled gently. He put his hand on Haruno Sakura's head and rubbed Haruno Sakura's hair: "After going through so much, Sakura should grow up too."

"I've grown up a long time ago, I'm already 28 years old." Haruno Sakura said with a smile.

"Time flies." Kakashi sighed, and drank the sake in his hand, "At that time, all of you, ten years passed in a blink of an eye."

"Yes, time flies." Haruno Sakura poured herself a glass of wine and raised her glass to Kakashi, "I am relieved to see that everything is fine, teacher."

Kakashi smiled bitterly and said nothing more.

Haruno Sakura hurriedly returned to Konoha without staying in Nanjiachuan for a long time, preparing to report to the 391 Hospital in advance.

Before leaving, Sai came to the station to see Haruno Sakura off. His body had fully recovered, and his iconic smirk was on his face again, telling jokes that made Haruno Sakura want to punch him.After sending Haruno Sakura to the entrance, Sai stopped: "Doctor Haruno, I won't send you in, don't forget your luggage."

"I know, Sai, you are so wordy. I said, are you going to cry?" Haruno Sakura teased him.

"Maybe she will cry." Sai Asa Haruno Sakura opened his arms, "Hey, Dr. Haruno, please give me a hug before you leave. Anyway, we are life-and-death partners."

"Who is your partner." Although Haruno Sakura still sneered at Sai's words, she turned back with a smile and hugged Saii vigorously, "Thank you, Sai, I hope you can forgive me for what I did to you before. Attitude." She buried her head on Sai's shoulder and said softly.

"Forgive each other." Sai responded to her.

Sai let go of Haruno Sakura, and waved at her.

Winter had come quietly, and the northbound train roared through forests and plains.The further north you go, the harsher the wind that beats the car windows.Haruno Sakura rubbed her hands vigorously, wrapped her heavy padded jacket tightly around her body, and exhaled a breath of white mist in the cold compartment.
