[Naruto Storyline] Wandering

The battlefield after the bombardment was permeated with a long-lasting strong smell of violence. The forest fire triggered by the bombardment burned for three days and three nights before it was gradually extinguished. Covered by extensive snowfall.At this time, the team supporting Heyuan's troops had reached the border of the Land of Fire, and tanks and armored vehicles entered the territory of the Land of Sound without hindrance along the bombed-out railway line.After Heyuan's remnant troops joined the support troops, they reorganized their teams and pushed the northern front of Fire Nation to the hinterland of Sound Nation.

The land of earth also sent all the air forces to support the land of fire. This was unexpected by Sasuke. He did not expect that the land of land would rather make concessions and sacrifices on other battlefields in the country, and even the central government of the land of earth gave up the capital. In order to make a strategic shift in the region, it is also necessary to break the blockade of the Xiao organization in the south, and strive to get in touch with the country of fire.The fighter jets of the Land of Earth dropped a large number of bombs along the railway line. For a while, the forests, houses and fields around the railway line in the land of sound were almost completely destroyed.

The tracks of the tanks rolled out a new road on the land of the land of sound, finally passing through the two kingdoms of earth and fire.

At this time, in the five months since the beginning of the Fourth World War, the most exciting news came from the northern theater, and it also gave both the earth and fire countries a glimmer of hope.

Oil, medicine, clothing and other resources are continuously exchanged through this lifeline. With the assistance of the Fire Nation, the pressure on the Earth Nation will naturally be relieved, and the Fire Nation's army will be able to tear through the border of the Nation of Sound. He crossed the border and entered the country of sound, forming a new confrontation with Akatsuki's army in the country of sound.

Sasuke's counterattack was more ferocious and intensive than expected, perhaps because he was worried about the situation that was reversed by the fire and the wind direction, or perhaps because he had no patience to continue to fight the war of attrition with the Nation of Fire.After Haruno Sakura settled the wounded in the Heyuan resident hospital, she also returned to the battlefield of the land of sound. She was shocked by the tragic situation of the battle. The endless firepower coverage made Haruno Sakura always in a state of anxiety and tension , Her ears even had tinnitus for a long time.

The troops sent by Akatsuki tried repeatedly to break through the Fire Nation's defense line. Faced with batch after batch of soldiers attacking the Fire Nation's front positions, Haruno Sakura, as a field doctor, could only watch blankly and fearfully as the machine guns fired non-stop. Seeing the fallen figure, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart—has Sasuke gone crazy?

At this moment, life is as humble as dust, what do these mechanically advancing soldiers mean to Sasuke?Is it a pawn in the human sea strategy, or an ant who is not worthy of death?These people who have been facing bullets and artillery fire on the battlefield because of an order from the commander, they are also sons, fathers, husbands, friends and teachers, but at this time they are easily buried on the land of a foreign land.

Only during the interval between battles can Haruno Sakura be freed from this repressed emotion. She often squats outside the temporary hospital tent and covers her eyes and wants to cry loudly, but the tears seem to have been evaporated by the flames of war. Haruno Sakura could only open her mouth and let out a meaningless wail.

The battlefield in front of him is far more cruel and bloody than Heyuan, but what is more cruel is the human heart.

With trembling hands, Haruno Sakura lit a cigarette for herself, trying to suppress the despair and fear in her heart. She quickly finished smoking the cigarette in her hand, and then returned to the intense treatment work.

With the assistance of the Land of Earth Air Force, the Land of Fire pushed the battle line westward at a slow but firm pace. However, the Land of Earth could not use up all the limited air force resources in the confrontation with Sasuke. The domestic battlefield of the land of fire provided air support, so when the air force of the land of land withdrew from the battlefield of the land of sound, the land of fire and Akatsuki fell into a stalemate again, and the speed of the front line was almost zero.

It was at this time that the troops in the southern part of the Land of Earth and the Heyuan troops in the northern part of the Fire Country proposed a beheading mission against the supreme commander of the other side, with the purpose of killing Sasuke Uchiha and destroying his command center.

On the land of the Land of Sound that has already been occupied, the high-level leaders of the Southern Army of the Land of Earth and the Heyuan Army of the Fire Land discussed the task of beheading. Warm lights fell on the maps of the Land of Sound and the Land of Tang, reflecting the The figures of the commanders and combat staff officers of both sides appeared, and Haruno Sakura, as the representative of the field doctors on the land of Otono, also participated in the discussion.On this rare night without artillery fire, Haruno Sakura calmly listened to the two commanders discussing the plan to kill Sasuke. This feeling was very complicated and wonderful. The name of Uchiha Sasuke was clearly heard in her ears. Haruno Sakura felt in a trance that they were just discussing a stranger who had nothing to do with her.

Although Sasuke has already drawn a clear line with her, there is indeed no relationship between them anymore.

Haruno Sakura lowered her head and thought carefully for a while, then raised her head and said to the commander, "I want to join this beheading mission." Her voice was calm and powerful, and her green eyes were fixed on the front without blinking.

"Does the doctor appear to be redundant in the staffing of this mission?" The combat staff and commanders exchanged glances and asked Haruno Sakura.

"I have received formal military training in the Konoha Military Academy, so I am not only a field doctor, I can also serve as a combat force when necessary." Haruno Sakura explained, "The danger of this beheading mission The role of the doctor can minimize the casualties in the mission team, and Senju Tsunade-sama of the Fire Nation also emphasized the importance of having a team doctor in the mission team."

"Even if you have received formal military training, the risk of beheading missions cannot be compared with training. Besides, there are not enough medical personnel now. Dr. Haruno is responsible for the work of the field hospital. We don't want you to take this risk."

"but……"

"Doctor Haruno, we will consider your opinion." The tone of the Commander of the Earth Land interrupted Haruno Sakura's words of continuing to fight, and she had to sit back in her seat resentfully.

After handing over the work with the next batch of field doctors, Haruno Sakura returned to the Heyuan station. After meeting with Tsunade, the master and apprentice had lunch together.Tsunade looked at Haruno Sakura who was silent in front of him, sighed, cut half of the apple in his hand and gave it to her, Haruno Sakura took the apple and kept turning it in his hand, and finally gnawed it in small bites , the sweet and sour apple juice splashed in her mouth, and she told Tsunade exactly about the beheading mission.

"There is nothing wrong with this proposal." After hearing this, Tsunade said, seeing that Haruno Sakura was still in a low mood, Tsunade put down the teacup in his hand, "It's just that you who proposed to join the beheading plan, what do you think in your heart? After all, the other party It's Sasuke Uchiha."

Haruno Sakura shook her head vigorously: "I don't have those thoughts, Sasuke and I have long..." Her fingers clasped the rim of the cup tightly, "We divorced before Sasuke left Konoha."

Tsunade stared at Haruno Sakura thoughtfully.

"The current Sasuke only has the flame of hatred in his heart." Haruno Sakura closed her eyes.

"I originally thought that after so many years of the Uchiha extermination, the black flame in his heart had disappeared. But I was wrong, how could I be so stupid, how could he forget this kind of thing, besides, I ignited him with my own hands The desire for revenge, Tsunade-sensei, I met Itachi when I was in the country of water, but I didn’t tell Sasuke, and I was convicted of collusion by the Konoha military court. In that winter, Sasuke left Konoha... "

"I thought I could warm the ice in his heart, but I later found out that what I gave him was not what he wanted. Tsunade-sensei, I often wonder if I would not have met Itachi With the initial opportunity of all these things, even if the Uchiha extermination is a shadow that will never go away in Sasuke's heart, he will be able to live his life well."

"Sasuke divorced me and betrayed Konoha and Fire Nation, I don't blame him for being unfeeling, I only hate myself for meeting Itachi, and for opening Sasuke's wound in this way... But what I hate the most is that I, I actually have that special feeling for Itachi, I don't understand why I can't be cruel to him, I don't understand why I can't forget him, why I like him..."

"Tsunade-sensei, I want to end all of this with my own hands." Tsunade listened to Haruno Sakura's words in silence, and the Sakura-haired girl in front of her seemed to want to reveal all the forbearance and unbearableness in her heart. Tsunade stood up Going around the table and sitting next to Haruno Sakura, he gently hugged her shoulders and stroked her soft hair.

Tsunade also experienced such entangled emotions when she was young. She understands the state of mind in such an emotional vortex, but she can only walk through this journey by herself, and no one can replace her.Even though Tsunade loves her students, she can't stop everything for Haruno Sakura: "Sakura, don't resist your true thoughts. If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. You have to admit it and learn from it. To accept. Feelings and morality often run counter to each other, but don’t deny its existence.”

Seeing Haruno Sakura didn't respond, Tsunade continued: "Also, don't be too hard on yourself, it's not your fault that Sasuke has come to this point."

Haruno Sakura lowered her head and smiled wryly: "You all say that, so does Tsunade-sensei, and Itachi too...the more you comfort me like this, the more I feel like a fool."

Tsunade cast a searching look at her, "Did Itachi say something to you?"

Haruno Sakura shook her head: "No." Hair drooped in front of her eyes, covering her expression, her voice seemed very frustrated, "About the truth about the Uchiha Extermination, Tsunade-sensei is also one of the insiders? Uchiha Extermination Is there something unspeakable about Itachi? The reason why Sasuke joined Akatsuki was because he knew the truth about the Uchiha extermination. Everything he did was to take revenge on Konoha and the Nation of Fire. Tsunade-sensei, I am right. Right?" She raised her head and smiled sadly at Tsunade.

Tsunade sighed shallowly: "I hope you can give up your obsession with the truth. Many times, people who know the truth are more painful than those who don't."

"Regardless of the so-called truth or not, I want to participate in the beheading mission because..." Haruno Sakura glanced at the National Emblem of the Fire Nation on her badge, "I am a soldier of the Nation of Fire."
