Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 173 Hangover
"What did you say?"

Uchiha Obito stopped passing by Uchiha Itachi and looked sideways.

The Sharingan under the mask has turned into a three-hook sickle pattern.

"how?"

"You still want to do it?"

Before Uchiha Itachi could make any move, Kisame spoke first, staring at Uchiha Obito with his playful little eyes.

The original Kisame was brought into the Akatsuki organization by Uchiha Obito using Uchiha Madara's name. Now that Uchiha Obito's identity has been exposed, how can the deceived Kisame accept this?

Even if he doesn't leave Akatsuki, he plans to find an opportunity to teach this guy a lesson.

However, Uchiha Obito ignored Kisame. Although Kisame's strength was remarkable, he posed no threat to Uchiha Obito.

Only Uchiha Itachi is qualified to make Uchiha Obito ready for battle.

"Can't you bear such a simple sentence?"

Uchiha Itachi did not stop Kisame, but chose to reveal his Mangekyō and face Uchiha Obito.

At the beginning, this guy successfully deceived himself by using the name of Uchiha Madara, and participated in the Uchiha clan's night of genocide.

If possible, Uchiha Itachi would naturally not mind collecting some interest from this guy.

The atmosphere became solemn at this moment, as if the air had become extremely cold.

Kisame did not stop the two's ideas at all, and was even prepared to work with Uchiha Itachi to crush Uchiha Obito who appeared out of nowhere.

Lost the tiger skin of Uchiha Madara's identity.

What's left of Uchiha Obito?
Hoshigaki Kisame has already revealed his murderous intent.

It seemed that a battle was about to break out between Uchiha Itachi, Hoshigaki Kisame and Uchiha Obito.

Pain appeared at the end of the steel corridor at some point, and his pair of Samsara eyes looked at the three people calmly.

Seeing Pain, Uchiha Itachi retracted the Mangekyō in his eyes. He stopped Kisame who was eager to try, and then turned his gaze to Uchiha Obito who was confronting him in front of him.

"Uchiha Obito, now that your identity has been exposed, what else can you do?"

Finally, after saying these words lightly, Uchiha Itachi took Kisame and walked towards Pain without any reluctance.

The moment Uchiha Itachi learned that 'Uchiha Madara' was Uchiha Obito, the first thing he felt was not to be glad that 'Uchiha Madara' was a fake.

Instead, he was angry, angry that he had been deceived by such a crude trick.

How could Uchiha Madara be such a coward?

In his plan, 'Uchiha Madara' is an extremely important existence.

Although the change from 'Uchiha Madara' to Uchiha Obito reduced a lot of his pressure, Uchiha Itachi did not feel the slightest bit grateful.

As Pain walked towards the end of the corridor step by step, Uchiha Itachi lowered his eyes, and the scarlet color in his eyes gradually turned into deep darkness.

Although the problem of 'Uchiha Madara' has been solved.

But the man in front of him is, in a sense, as troublesome as Uchiha Madara.

Compared to the weird and unfathomable feeling that Uchiha Obito brought to Uchiha Itachi when he pretended to be Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Itachi could truly feel the crushing strength from Pain.

There is a huge gap between me and this man.

Uchiha Itachi knew clearly the gap between himself and Pain.

"Itachi, what's wrong?"

Pein looked at Uchiha Itachi in front of him and spoke.

"The Two-Tails was captured by Konoha. In order to know the exact location of the Two-Tails in the future, it is necessary to go to Konoha again to collect information."

Uchiha Itachi spoke without changing his expression.

Payne looked at the man in front of him calmly, without any emotion visible in his Samsara eyes.

Gathering information?

This is Jue's job, and does not fall within the scope of Uchiha Itachi.

"can."

Pain agreed to Uchiha Itachi's request.

It's a request, not a proposal.

Pain knew that Uchiha Itachi's heart was not in the Akatsuki organization, but that didn't matter to him.

As long as the other party works honestly for the Akatsuki organization, Pain doesn't want to meddle in their affairs.

Rather than saying that he doesn't want to meddle in other people's affairs, it should be said that this is the confidence that comes from absolute strength.

Pein allowed Uchiha Itachi to jump around under his nose.

In this war, the Akatsuki organization has been exposed to the five major ninja villages.

But what does it matter?
Even if Konoha finds out that Uchiha Itachi is a member of Akatsuki, can they still do anything about Akatsuki?

If you want to defeat Akatsuki, you must first defeat Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Sandagakure.

These three of the five major ninja villages have become the same force as the Akatsuki organization.

Especially the Sand Village. Although the Akatsuki organization does not completely control the Sand Village, they need the existence of the Akatsuki organization even more because of the scarcity of high-end combat power.

Uchiha Itachi got the reply he wanted, and did not stay long, but left quietly.

Just before turning the corner, Payne's voice came from the end of the road.

"Kisame still needs to be in the Fuudo battlefield, so let Sasori go with you this time."

Uchiha Itachi paused and responded without showing any emotion:

"I see."

Sasori is different from Kisame. Before Kisame, he was recruited into the Akatsuki organization by Uchiha Obito alone.

It can be understood that Kisame is Uchiha Obito's man.

However, as Uchiha Obito's identity was exposed, Kisame unilaterally severed ties with Uchiha Obito.

After all, Uchiha Madara is so famous.

And who is Uchiha Obito?

Scorpion was the one who was defeated by Konan and recruited into the Akatsuki organization. He is a complete member of Pain's side.

Moreover, Kisame had previously had conflicts with Sasori and Deidara, while Uchiha Itachi and Kisame were in the same group.

As a result, this operation will inevitably have twists and turns.

Especially Uchiha Itachi and Sasori are both very subjective and conscious beings.

They are all strong people who use their strength to make Kisame or Deidara obey their orders.

Uchiha Itachi sighed in his heart and left.

In fact, Pain didn't think so much. He just simply felt that it was too dangerous for Uchiha Itachi to go to Konoha alone, and it would be nice to have a companion to take care of him.

After all, Deidara and Hidan are not reliable, only Konan and Sasori are the most suitable.

And want Konan and Uchiha Itachi to go to Konoha?

Payne said that was impossible.

next day
Sakura arrived at the Senju family library early in the morning and continued her research on Yang Dun.

She had already mentioned to the old man that she would follow the latest supply troops to the battlefield of River Country in half a month, and by the way, form a hunting team specifically targeting Kakuzu with Kakashi, Mei Terumi, and Might Guy, and use Kakuzu's head to commemorate the souls of the four thousand ninjas in heaven.

Using this lineup to target Jiaodu is already a very luxurious top-level team.

Not to mention Kakuzu, there is a high possibility that these four people alone could rush into the Sand Village and kill Rosa.

The only trouble is how to escape from those thousands of Sand Ninjas.

After all, they can't fly like Deidara.

Flipping through the documents in her hand, Sakura once again saw the signature of the Senju Wall.

Seeing this, Sakura couldn't help but think of the previous information about Uchiha Hikaru.

Sakura gently touched the paper in her hand and then found Tsunade who was sleeping due to a hangover while holding the book.

"Tsunade-sama!"

Without hesitation, she pushed open Tsunade's bedroom door, and the stench of alcohol that hit Sakura in the face drove her away.

Sakura took several steps back, pinching her nose and looking at the house with disgust.

There were empty wine bottles all over the floor. Tsunade, disheveled, was holding a wine bottle that was still dripping with wine and snoring deafeningly.

This……

Sakura looked at this scene with disgust on her face. If outsiders knew that Tsunade was like this in private, her goddess halo would probably be shattered.

"Sakura?"

Just as Sakura was thinking about how to wake Tsunade up without being suffocated by the smell of alcohol, a familiar voice made Sakura turn her head.

I saw Karin standing in front of me holding a basin of water and a towel.

"Fragrant phosphorus?"

Before Sakura could come to her senses, Karin had already walked into the room calmly and confidently.

Sakura couldn't help but twitch her lips when she saw this. It seemed that Karin was already used to it.

Oh, forget it, just let it suffocate to death!
Sakura hardened her heart and walked into Tsunade's bedroom despite the smell of alcohol. While Karin was wiping Tsunade's face, Sakura immediately opened the window for ventilation.

I really don’t know how Karin endures this.

Feeling the fresh air flowing, Sakura finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Woo..."

"water……"

Tsunade uttered an unclear sound in confusion.

"Do you want water?"

"Tsunade-sama, wait a minute!"

"Sakura, help Tsunade-sama wipe her face!"

After saying this, Karin ran out quickly and prepared to pour water for Tsunade.

Sakura had no choice but to walk forward, taking the wet towel that Karin had just wrung out, and wipe the drunkard's face bit by bit.

"It's Sakura..."

Tsunade saw a familiar pink color in a daze.

"Tsunade-sama, why do you drink so much?"

Sakura sighed as she wiped Tsunade's face.

It would have been better if Sakura didn't say this. Tsunade almost cried when she heard Sakura's words.

"Xiaoying, tell me...hiccup...am I born to be poor..."

Tsunade pulled Sakura's sleeve with a look of great sadness, and burped, almost suffocating Sakura to death.

"I...I encountered a shooting star yesterday."

"I made a wish to him that I would be rich enough to rival a country..."

"result……"

"Then the meteor shattered!"

Speaking of this, Tsunade's somewhat blurry eyes even flashed with tears of pain.

If it weren't for the stench of alcohol that almost knocks people out, the scene could be described as pitiful.

But Tsunade was obviously still drunk, and with the stinking smell and the mess on the ground, no matter how beautiful a woman was, she would be despised.

"Hey, hey, hey, Lady Tsunade, wake up."

"Wishing on a shooting star is a lie."

Sakura quickly wiped Tsunade's face with a wet towel, and Karin walked in with a kettle.

Tsunade took the kettle and drank half of the water directly from the spout without any hesitation.

After wiping her face and drinking some water, Tsunade finally became a little more sober.

"Tsunade-sama, how are you feeling?"

Karin came up to Tsunade and spoke with concern.

"Hiccup~~~"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Karin approached, Tsunade burped loudly. When Sakura saw this, she looked at Karin with some sympathy.

Now that Shizune is in the front-line medical team, the burden of taking care of Tsunade falls on Karin alone.

It's really hard for Karin, she is only twelve years old and has to take care of Tsunade, a fifty-year-old "child".

But if you think about it carefully, Shizune is more pitiful...

"Karin, I feel much better."

Tsunade looked at the red-haired girl in front of her, covered her swollen head and sat up on the bed.

"Tsunade-sama, breakfast is ready and the bath water is hot."

"Would you like to eat first or take a shower first?"

Karin didn't care at all about Tsunade's burping, and even asked Tsunade what happened next. Sakura couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when she saw this.

Did Tsunade accept a disciple or a maid?

"Let's take a shower first."

Tsunade threw away her clothes that were wet with wine, and Karin took them and left in a hurry, obviously to prepare clean clothes for Tsunade and throw the dirty clothes into the washing machine.

Sakura couldn't help but sigh as she watched this scene, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

To be honest, Tsunade is a very nice person and can be trusted when it comes to major issues.

But in private...

Tsunade, who was spoiled by Hashirama Senju since childhood, can be said to have been willful all her life.

And because of his status, even the old man's words went in one ear and out the other.

It's really hard for Shizune and Karin to face Tsunade, who is already fifty years old but still has princess syndrome.

"Sakura, what do you want from me?"

Tsunade, with disheveled hair, looked at the pink-haired girl beside her and spoke.

"It is like this, Lady Tsunade, do you know where this ultimate weapon is?"

Sakura took out the book from her arms, pointed at the words on the Senju wall and asked.

"How would I know? Go ask the old man for information on the Uzumaki clan or the Sarutobi clan."

Tsunade just took a glance and spoke with little interest.

"OK then."

"I'll go right away."

After saying that, Sakura was about to leave. She walked to the door and looked back at Tsunade who was sitting on the bed and trying to wake up. She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

"Tsk, little girl."

Tsunade pouted as she watched Sakura leave.

How could she not know what Sakura wanted to say?
It's just that you have to be careful and not treat Karin like your little maid.

But she really can't do it alone...

She has been living like this for so many years, and it is really difficult for her to change suddenly.

At this moment, Karin was planning to reheat the breakfast so that Tsunade could have a bite of hot food after taking a shower, when she bumped into Sakura.

"Xiaoying, are you leaving now?"

Karin smiled at Sakura.

"Well, I have something else to do."

Sakura responded muffledly.

"Then I won't keep Sakura. If Sakura is free, come and play with me."

Karin smiled at Sakura and then hurried into the kitchen.

Sakura looked at Karin's back and didn't say much in the end.

Perhaps for Karin, it is enough to have a place to stay, a living environment that does not covet her, and people who are willing to treat her as a family member.

Why should I do this?...

Shaking her head, Sakura left the Senju residence alone.

Since Tsunade said she would go to the old man to see if there was any information about the Uzumaki clan or the Sarutobi clan, then she might as well go and take a look.

Besides, Sakura is quite interested in this guy Uchiha Hikaru.

It's not just Sakura. If Uchiha Sasuke knew there was such a person, I believe he would also be very interested.
