New Naruto Sakura no Flower Fan Travel Notes

--------

Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura finally came to the not-too-distant edge of Sandyakin Ninja Village in the Land of Winds. They also "magically" met Nara Shikamaru and Sandataki Temari who were also going there on the way.

But not long after the brief encounter, a huge and terrifying sandstorm broke out in this boundless and majestic desert.Seeing the golden land and the clear blue sky, it immediately turned into yellow sand and dusty clouds... But Temari, a local, has long been accustomed to this. She has always been calm and self-possessed in situations, and she took the three of them to hide in a short time. In a small cave in a hill.Seeing this, Sakura couldn't help remembering that three years ago, the group of them did encounter this kind of thing on their way to Sand Hidden, when it was Temari who led them to find such a hiding place.

After the four of them settled down, Temari said calmly: "Don't worry, the Land of Winds is definitely not 'complete' without sandstorms. And the most correct way to do it when the wind blows is to find a place to hide , otherwise you will lose your way, and that will be a dead end. Hmph, you know—there are countless dried...corpses buried under this desert..." After she finished speaking, she actually showed a strange and indifferent expression. smile.

"Hahaha, as expected of Temari-san..." Seeing this, Sakura shuddered.No wonder the general strength of sand hidden ninjas has always been outstanding, such a harsh natural environment must be able to temper their abilities and sharpen their will... So she couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Everyone in the world says: 'Sha Yin - it's the wind and sand The indestructible steel in the middle of the earth. 'The 'greenhouse flowers' like us who grow in a comfortable environment are indeed somewhat uncomfortable here, which is really rare and strange."

"It's okay, Sakura. In fact, every place has its own advantages, and you Konoha ninjas are the most powerful." Temari glanced at Sasuke beside Sakura, she seemed a little surprised that he would be with Haruno Sakura .Then she smiled and said: "I have been used to seeing the sand and desert in Shayin since I was a child, but when I was able to come to your Konoha a few years ago because I participated in the 'Chunin Exam', I was surprised by the lakes, mountains and jade trees there. Qionglin is attracted, so I say - Konoha is a good place to raise people."

"Hehehe, it seems that Temari-san 'likes' our Konoha..." Sakura looked at Shikamaru sitting next to Temari with a smirk, but the distance between the two seems a bit "far" now?It didn't look like she was that close to Sasuke-kun.But... Sure enough, she guessed right: these two are really "together"!Why did Temari come with Shikamaru?Didn't she go back to Sand Yin long ago?So she tentatively asked: "By the way, Temari-san, why haven't you returned to Sand Hikari? I remember that Naruto's wedding has been a long time ago."

Haruno Sakura has always admired this real "female ninja". Not only is her beauty and strength coexist, but she also has a fortitude and tenacity... She has nothing to do with the so-called "weak women" at all!Before, Sakura thought that Shikamaru went to Sagakushi to perform a mission to visit Temari, but she didn't expect Temari to be by Shikamaru's side now.In addition, what makes Sakura feel a little uneasy is that Shikamaru and Temari have not had any verbal communication since they met them. They were obviously very close when they were in Konoha, but how could they be "estranged" now?

……

"Ah, Sakura, of course it's some 'indescribable' 'troublesome' tasks." Shikamaru, who hadn't spoken for a long time, glanced sideways at Temari, whose face suddenly turned ugly, and then he said slowly: "... ...We happened to be 'on the same road', so we walked together for a while."

"Oh, so that's the case." Seeing this, Sakura tactfully didn't ask any further questions... It seems that there is something hidden.Since people don't want to talk about it, then don't bother to break the casserole and ask the bottom line.But "some things" should be askable, so she changed the subject and said: "Shikamaru, I heard from Sasuke-kun that this time Mr. Kakashi also sent you, the 'wisdom star', is there some important task? "

It should be possible to ask this question, right?

Because they went to Shayin this time to perform two tasks, namely "one light and one dark".One is something that only she and Sasuke-kun know about: investigate that Sarana who is also from Sand Hidden and is related to Shirotsu; as for the other...but Sasuke-kun himself doesn't know!Originally they thought they would find out when they met Shikamaru, but the two elders were more "boring" than the other, and they only nodded "symbolically" when they met.So Sakura, who was a little impatient, had no choice but to take the initiative to help Sasuke-kun inquire, anyway, Temari is also someone she trusts.

……

"Well, although it's 'troublesome', I'm just here to represent Konoha to attend the wedding banquet of the only son of Ihe Hanmo, the daimyo of the Land of Winds——Ihe Zhuo." After finishing speaking, Shikamaru He glanced at Temari who was more than half a meter away from him, and saw her pursing her red lips tightly and bowing her head in silence.Compared to Sasuke and Sakura sitting across from each other who are close without any gap, he and Temari are indeed a bit far away.

"Huh?! Did you come all the way here just to attend a wedding?!" Sakura couldn't help exclaiming, "Even if it's the wedding of the son of a daimyo, it's too exciting, right?" No, no, no , it's never that simple!In her heart, Sakura was sure that there must be something behind Shikamaru's "relaxed" rhetoric...

Almost no one noticed——When Sandaki Temari, who was silent at the beginning, heard Shikamaru say the word "wedding" herself, the traces of sadness in her clear and beautiful eyes were a little hard to stop, but it was soon because of her own The unusually strong will vanished.

Of course, the most silent among the four is the "iceberg with paralyzed face" - Sasuke Uchiha.

Sasuke took a deep look at Shikamaru after listening to Shikamaru's somewhat "strange" answer, and he, who was always indifferent to emotions, was naturally as suspicious as Sakura.Unexpectedly, Shikamaru smiled lightly at him after sensitively aware of the suspicious look in his eyes.Hmph, sure enough this guy wasn't telling the truth, it seems he wants to avoid Sakura and Sandotaki Temari?He immediately grunted imperceptibly in response, it seems that things are really "troublesome".

……

In fact, Sasuke and Sakura heard a lot of rumors about the construction of a railway between Konoha and Sand Hidden on the way to the Land of the Wind.Naturally, this is not a "groundless rumor", because from the beginning of the fourth generation of Kazekage Sabura Sasa's administration, it has continued to follow the generational alliance relationship between Sagakure and Konoha that was established during the second generation of Kazekage Monsa Shamon.

Since becoming an ally, the two countries, Wind and Fire, have been in friendly exchanges, exchanges and cooperation.Especially after Sataki Gaara took office as the Fifth Generation Kazekage, probably because of his personal gratitude and appreciation for Konoha Uzumaki Naruto, as well as Konoha’s timely help and generous support to Sand Hidden several times, so now Sand Hidden Negotiations with Konoha became more frequent.It covers politics, diplomacy, business, culture and many other aspects.

Even in recent years, a new type of industry has sprung up between the two countries—tourism, because the lush forest landscape of Konoha and the vast and magnificent desert landscape of Sand Yin have brought a new audio-visual experience to the people of the two countries.However, the harsh natural environment of the desert will cause traffic congestion to a certain extent, and it will also pose a terrible threat to people's lives and properties. Therefore, a "Leimen Company [1]" recently established by the Fire Kingdom was born in an ingenious way. An innovative idea to build a railway between two places.

This kind of good deed that benefits the country, the people, and the people has naturally won the approval and support of many high-level politicians in the two countries.After all, this incident not only strengthens the inherent connection between Konoha and Sand Yin, but also makes Konoha unshakably a "transit station" for people from all over the world to go to Sand Yin Ninja Village in the most convenient and safest way, thus Accelerate population flow, drive employment, and develop economy.

For the Land of Wind and Sandy Ninja Village, this move has opened up a brand-new road of convenience and prosperity in the depths of the deserted desert. Reform and transformation, improve the quality of life of the people.

So Sasuke did not secretly deduce in advance whether the purpose of Shikamaru's trip was to discuss matters related to railway construction on behalf of Konoha and Sand Yin. Why?Could it be that Sayin and Konoha, who seem to be "good-neighborly and friendly" on the surface, still have some unspeakable rifts?

As mentioned before, although the two countries have been allies of win-win cooperation a long time ago, there have also been many "small frictions" or even "big conflicts".

This long-standing alliance has been disintegrated and rebuilt countless times due to the passage of time and the occasional opposition and deviation of national interests.Except that when the "Chunin Exam" was held in Konoha a few years ago, Sataki Rasa and Orochimaru intended to join forces to disintegrate Konoha's rebellious behavior.Also, during the previous large-scale "Second Ninja World War", Konoha and Sand Yin, who had signed the "Wind and Fire Mutual Benefit and Win-Win Alliance Treaty" less than a few decades ago, would meet each other on the battlefield. Both sides suffered heavy casualties...

Hmph, there are no eternal enemies and alliances in this world, only eternal common interests!People will cooperate with each other because of their interests, and they will also kill each other because of their interests.This is really normal!Even if the "Fourth Ninja World War" can produce the "glorious myth" of the "Ninja Alliance" of the five major countries, the real opportunity is that the common enemy faced by the five major countries at that time was the "Akatsuki" organization, so the countries with the same hatred Only ninjas can temporarily put aside past hatred and long-term hostility and work together with one heart and one mind.

Cut... then what?

Who can pat their chests to guarantee that this seemingly peaceful and thriving situation will last forever?After all, there are endless generations of ambitious and slick ambitions... So after Sasuke joined hands with Naruto to seal the "common enemy" - Kaguya Otsutsuki, he himself thought about this carefully. "Sensitive" questions that are difficult to answer.

That's why at that time, he wanted to let himself be the "common enemy" of the five major countries for a long time, just like Itachi used his own body to endure all the heavy darkness, so as to obliterate and contain their relationship with each other Naruto fought openly and covertly, but this idea, which was originally a good intention, was finally dispelled because of Naruto's true "mouth escape".

Alas, I don't know if my "admitting defeat" back then was right?It is estimated that we can only rely on the passage of time and the implementation of practice to test them one by one.But fortunately, he and Naruto's starting point is always the same, that is - to protect the peace and stability of the Quannin world!

……

I don't know how long it took, but the violent wind and sand that was roaring and howling outside finally subsided due to temporary powerlessness.Temari looked confusedly at the dark yellow sky outside, then stood up and said, "It's almost over, let's go." Then the four left the cave one after another, but Temari who walked in the front didn't even look back.I saw her beautiful yellow hair with a faint brown color, elegant and bright, fluttering in the cool wind that was also filled with yellow sand, it seemed to light up a scorching lamp in the dark desert to guide the way home .

So this "team of four" is Sataki Temari and Nara Shikamaru walking one behind the other, Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura walking side by side in the middle.Sakura was naturally wondering why Shikamaru deliberately kept a distance from Temari, and when she couldn't hold back her curiosity, she quietly turned her head and glanced at the laziest man out of the corner of her eye, she realized—— —He was looking at her with rare serious eyes.

No...it should be Temari walking in front of her.
