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

Chapter 196 Haruno Mirai
"Where are you taking me?"

At this moment, Fenghua Nutao no longer has the arrogance of before.

His carefully groomed hair was now a mess, and even his chin had some messy stubble.

Sakura did not torture Fenghua Nutao, but tied him up and threw him on the carriage. He never missed any meal a day. Fenghua Nutao ate whatever Sakura and the others ate.

At this moment, Sakura and her group have already embarked on their journey back to Konoha.

The matter of the Snow Country has come to an end.

As Santaifu wished, Fuka Koyuki ascended the throne of the Daimyo of the Snow Country.

Using the Ninja Hawk, this news was transmitted back to Konoha, and Sarutobi Hiruzen had already arranged for 300 ninjas to garrison in the Snow Country.

The Land of Earth will also send troops to the Land of Snow.

However, the matter of the three hundred Konoha troops has little to do with Sakura. Sakura can now vaguely see the gate of Konoha.

"Didn't I tell you?"

"Do things for Konoha."

Sakura, who was sitting on the side, was fiddling with the kunai in her hand, glanced at Fenghana Nutao and spoke in dissatisfaction.

"..."

Fenghua Nutao looked at the kunai in the other person's hand, which was shining with a chilling light, and couldn't help but shut his mouth.

Fenghua Nutao never thought that one day he would come to Konoha, and as a prisoner.

Seven days ago, he was still a high-ranking daimyo of the Snow Country, but now he is a prisoner whose life and death are not in his own hands.

The huge gap in status made him feel a little unreal.

But even so, he never thought of running away.

He couldn't defeat any of these Konoha ninjas.

Sakura leaned her head out of the carriage, looking at the long-lost Konoha gate and the warm sunshine, she couldn't help but smile subconsciously.

After all, there is nothing in that icy and snowy place called the Snow Country, and it is difficult to even have a hot meal.

Most of the time I was eating Bingliang Pills.

Sasuke, who was driving, felt helpless when he saw the pink head popping up behind him.

"Sakura, can't you wait that long?"

Sakura said as a matter of course: "Of course, although my Bingliang Pills are very powerful, there are six people to eat."

"The first thing I did when I got back to the village was to restock my ration pills."

"..."

When Sasuke heard the word "Hyouliangmaru", his face darkened.

It's very powerful, one pill can last for two days.

But the taste is really speechless.

I ate so much that I vomited.

"By the way, Sasuke, I've been thinking of changing the Bingliang Pills into an oral solution. Would you like to try it later?"

Sakura suddenly remembered that she had this idea before.

"I'm afraid I can eat this evil Uchiha brat to death."

Before Sasuke could speak, Hikaru was making sarcastic remarks.

She really couldn't eat any of those damned Bingliang Pills!

No, you can’t even smell it!
If she, Uchiha Hikaru, eats one more of that damned Bingliang Pill, she will take Haruno Sakura's last name!

"Tsk, eat it if you want, who's willing to give you one?"

Sakura pushed back immediately.

"what?"

"You bastard, do you want to fight?!"

Uchiha Guang immediately became unhappy.

"You think I'm afraid of you!"

Sakura also has a bad temper and doesn't indulge this Uchiha grandma at all.

Seeing that the two were about to cause trouble again, Sasuke sighed deeply.

He discovered that Sakura and Hikari were born to be incompatible.

Just one or two words can lead to a quarrel.

But, both of them are good at talking.

He said he would take action several times, but he never did it once.

It was obvious that the two of them knew the importance of the matter.

Or rather, this was just a bickering between Sakura and Hikari to kill time.

Karin sat aside with her hands on her cheeks, watching the noisy Sakura and Hikari, her thoughts a little absent-minded.

She has been out for so long, I wonder if Lady Tsunade has made a mess of the house.

Is Sister Shizune back?

Shino ignored the noisy girl and silently took out a little bit of the food pill that Sakura had given him and placed it in the palm of his hand. Black bugs crawled out from his sleeves and gnawed on the food pill.

Sakura's Bingliang Pills are very effective and his bugs like them very much.

"If Sakura is planning to try the oral solution, I suggest that it's not necessary."

?

No way, even Shino refuted me?
Sakura looked at the only person present who didn't mind the taste of her Bingliangwan and refuted her, and subconsciously fell into self-doubt.

"I'm not saying that the oral solution is not effective. With Sakura's ability, I believe the oral solution must be very effective."

“But it’s not easy to use.”

"If you want to know why, it's because solids are easier to carry than liquids."

It is justifiable and irrefutable.

Just looking at this bug man in sunglasses made me twitch my lips.

She thought the other party was speaking for her, but she didn't expect that he was actually thinking about such things.

Does this guy have no sense of taste?!

hateful!

But even so, Guang crossed his arms and looked at Sakura with a mocking expression and said:
"See, no one will like your weird medicines."

Sakura couldn't help but twitch her lips as she looked at Uchiha Hikaru who had a mocking look on his face.

She deserves a beating. Can I use my super strength to give her a blow on the head?
"Do not."

Shino raised his head at this time.

"I like."

"The effect of Sakura's Bingliang Pills is far beyond the reach of ordinary products on the market."

"It's useful at critical moments, and the taste is not important at all."

"If you want to know why, it's because Sakura's medical skills are very high."

Uchiha Hikaru looked at Shino, who had just rejected Sakura's idea of ​​oral liquid but was now speaking up for the pink-haired girl, and veins popped out on his forehead.

This guy really deserves a beating. Can I stab him with Susanoo?
……

As the carriage drove into Konoha, Sakura and her companions successfully completed the mission.

Watching everyone else go back to their homes and mothers, Sakura had to go to the Hokage Building to submit the mission report to the old man.

Then she will deal with Fenghua Nutao who was kidnapped by her from the Snow Country.

Hokage Building
Hokage's Office

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the mission report in front of him and frowned slightly.

Although there was intervention from the Iwagakure Village, the ultimate goal of this mission was accomplished.

It’s just that the Snow Country cannot dominate alone.

But it doesn't matter, one of his goals has been achieved.

The most troublesome thing now is the former daimyo of the Snow Country who was kidnapped back by Sakura.

"Sakura, you are really..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the pink-haired girl in front of him with a headache.

Fenghua Nutao is a great name after all.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen is just a Hokage.

A famous name in disgrace is still a famous name.

How to deal with Fenghannutao gave Sarutobi Hiruzen a headache.

Couldn't we just let the other party die 'accidentally' during this conflict with Fenghua Xiaoxue?
But even so, Sarutobi Hiruzen could understand Sakura.

After all, judging from the results of Fenghua Nutao alone, this chakra armor is worth it.

Being able to increase the strength of a Chunin to a Jonin is indeed a great temptation.

"Hey, old man, are you okay?"

Sakura moved closer to Sarutobi Hiruzen and looked at the old man with a smile.

"Ugh……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked helplessly at the pink-haired person beside him, then glanced at Fuuka Nuto who was tied up and even had his mouth blocked by Sakura, and quickly thought of a solution.

Hide this guy, change his appearance, and secretly research chakra armor for Konoha?
Not advisable.

Let’s not talk about whether this guy is willing to research chakra armor for Konoha.

There are only two groups of people who know that the other party is in Konoha.

On one side is the Iwagakure Village, and on the other side is the Land of Snow.

If these two gangs were to use Fenghua Nutao's identity to cause trouble in the future, when the Fire Country Daimyo questioned them, Konoha would not be able to prove its innocence.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his graying beard.

I thought of a solution quickly.

Since he couldn't prove his innocence, he could just go and tell the Daimyo of the Land of Fire how important the value of Fenghana Nutao was.

In this way, we can also get research funds for chakra armor from the Daimyo of the Fire Country.

I believe that even the Daimyo of the Land of Fire would not be able to resist the temptation of being promoted from Chunin to Jonin just by using some dead objects.

"No problem, just give the old man some trouble."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled helplessly and touched the pink-haired boy's head.

"You've been working hard during this period, so just stay at home and be quiet for now."

"Just think of it as giving you a holiday."

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen looking like he was about to go out, Sakura scratched her head.

"Where are you going, old man?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked back at Sakura, his tone full of doting and love.

"I'm going to clean your ass, old man."

Upon hearing this, Sakura sank into the sofa and waved her hands, saying:
"Someone come take him away and provide him with good food and drink."

Sakura was naturally referring to Fenghannutao.

Then an Anbu appeared and took the tied-up man out of the Hokage's office.

"Come to think of it, we haven't had a meal for a long time."

"Let's go to the old man tonight."

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's sighing expression, Sakura also nodded.

When people get older, they like to spend more time with younger people. Sakura understands that.

"But by the way, is Old Ma back?"

Sakura tilted her head.

The last time we went to Kawanokuni to fight, Lao Ma couldn't go with us because he had a mission, so Karin replaced Lao Ma.

"came back."

Whenever Asuma was mentioned, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

Tsk, this useless guy has been pursuing the daughter of the Xiri family for such a long time, and there is not even a trace of progress.

Not like his cub at all!
Back then, when the old man was as old as Asuma, Sarutobi Shinnosuke was already born!
-

夜

Sarutobi House

The warm light illuminated the entire room. A tall, bearded man was stir-frying the final dish in the kitchen with a spatula.

In the living room, Sarutobi Hiruzen, dressed in casual clothes, took a sip of a small wine glass in his hand happily, then picked up a peanut with chopsticks and put it into his mouth and began to chew it carefully.

Sakura sat opposite Sarutobi Hiruzen, holding an orange juice in her hand, her eyes fell on the small wine bottle next to the old man.

Is that stuff delicious?

As if noticing Sakura's gaze, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said:
"Sakura is not yet of age, so you can't drink."

Sakura shook her head:

"Tsk, who wants to drink your stuff?"

Just then, Asma also brought the last dish to the table.

"But if you want to drink, you can drink a little secretly."

"There's no outsider here." Seeing Asuma's teasing smile as he was urging Sakura to drink, Sarutobi Hiruzen was furious.

"You little brat, how can you be a senior like this?"

Asuma has always been rebellious. It was only after he had been tempered with the daimyo for five years and experienced a lot that he became a little more stable. But even so, there is still some rebelliousness in him.

"It's all going to happen sooner or later anyway, so it doesn't matter if you take a few bites in advance."

Asuma sat next to Sakura without caring, then took the wine jug from Sarutobi Hiruzen and poured himself a glass of sake.

"Eh?"

"Then can I drink?"

Konohamaru, who had been eating beside Sarutobi Hiruzen, raised his head.

"no!"

Asuma and Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke at the same time in a sharp voice.

"Stingy guy..."

Faced with the double suppression from his grandfather and his uncle, Konohamaru successfully shut up.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Konohamaru who was eating with his head down, and a look of kindness flashed in his eyes.

"Come to think of it, Sakura is going to have another brother or sister, right?"

Sakura picked up a piece of fish and put it into her mouth, responding indistinctly.

The old man was very caring towards her parents, so he naturally knew that her mother was pregnant again.

"It's great, another child is born."

Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his eyes a little.

"If you don't think I'm meddling in your business, how about you let me name the child?"

Sakura tilted her head when she heard that, swallowed the food in her mouth and spoke:
"of course can."

With Sarutobi Hiruzen's qualifications, status, and fame, it would be natural for him to give a name to her younger brother or sister.

I believe even my parents would be happy to accept this.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his beard and thought for a moment.

"How about calling it the future?"

Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking, Asuma beside Sakura spoke first.

"future?"

Sakura was a little confused.

Isn't this the name of Asma's daughter?

Although Lao Ma's daughter looks a bit like Uchiha Shisui...

Hearing the word "future", Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up slightly, but looking at Asuma opposite him, this kid had just been against him.

"You little brat, why did you say the name I just thought of in advance?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen became very unserious at this moment, looking at Asuma with pretended anger.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm wrong, okay?"

Sakura was a little surprised by this.

It seems that the old man also likes the name Future.

Sakura glanced at Konohamaru who was eating across from her.

Konohamaru, the future.

The name Asuma chose is very much in line with Sarutobi Hiruzen's style.

Let's call it the future...

Haruno Mirai.

As for what Asma’s future daughter will be called?
who cares.

Let the Fire Generation, Orihime, Kagome, and Rin go.

The meal time passed quickly as Sarutobi Hiruzen and Asuma bickered from time to time.

Sakura also stayed at the Sarutobi residence for one night.

Tomorrow Sarutobi Hiruzen will go to the Daimyo to discuss how to deal with the Fenghan Nutao incident.

-

It is a very important matter for the Hokage to go out.

It's not just because of his identity as Hokage, but more importantly, there is no one to handle the government affairs in the village.

Fortunately, the war is over now, and Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu have returned to Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen entrusted the government affairs of Konoha to the two of them, and at the same time asked Sakura to spare two hours every day to come to the office to see how Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu handled the government affairs.

It was almost telling Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu that this would be the next Hokage.

Now that the Ninja World War is over, the Snow Country has become a vassal of Konoha.

As long as Sakura grows up a little, Sarutobi Hiruzen can retire gloriously and go home to enjoy his old age peacefully.

He is now seventy years old and can no longer struggle.

This is also one of the disadvantages of physical ninjas. When they get older, not only will their strength decline significantly, but their bodies will also develop various problems.

"Go early and come back early!"

Sakura waved and shouted as she watched Sarutobi Hiruzen walking away.

After bidding farewell to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Sakura was planning to go to Tsunade to discuss whether her special ration pills could be mass-produced to replace the ordinary ration pills used by the Konoha ninjas.

I didn't have time to do this before the war broke out, but now that I finally have some free time, of course I have to think about it.

And when the old man comes back, Sakura will go to Turtle Island to find Naruto according to the original plan.

Now that the old man is out for the past few days, it can be said that this is a rare vacation for Sakura.

however……

A hand was placed on Sakura's shoulder.

"Didn't Sakura hear what Hiruzen said before he left?"

Mizuto Menen stopped the pink-haired girl who wanted to run away.

"Forehead?"

Sakura couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat as she looked at Mitomon En, who had a calm but unyielding expression in front of her.

"Isn't this still a long time?"

Sakura wanted to argue.

"It's still a long time for you, but Hiruzen's health is deteriorating and it no longer allows him to work."

"In three years at most, Sakura, you should be able to handle the affairs of the village independently."

Mizuto Menen looked at the pink-haired girl in front of him with a serious face.

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Sakura had no choice but to pout and follow Mito Kado En towards the Hokage Building in the center of the village.

Hokage's Office

Sakura couldn't help but twitch her lips when she saw the one-meter-high work files that the staff brought to her.

No, who can tell her?

As Hokage, do you really have to deal with so many things every day?
"Come on, let's start with the first document."

Mito Kado En took the top file and placed it in front of Sakura, which made Sakura feel that the people under the Hokage were just there to do nothing.

The boss is so busy every day, what do his subordinates do?

Sakura still remembers it clearly.

When Pain attacked in the original novel, the Barrier Class actually got together to play poker during working hours!
One of the Hyuga guys even rolled his eyes and peeked at the cards!
"Haha, pay more attention."

Utane Koharu sat on the sofa at the side, poured herself a cup of tea leisurely and spoke.

But from her tone, Sakura felt that she was gloating.

Tsk, damn old woman.

Sakura had no choice but to take the first document from Mito Kado En.

"Old Man Fuyuan Wanzi in the North Village Illegally Occupies the Road for Business"

???

When Sakura saw this, three question marks popped up in her head.

Is this also something the Hokage should deal with?

Very meow!
Isn't this what the urban management department should do?
Do you have to trouble the Hokage for such a trivial matter?
Sakura frowned slightly, picked up the pen that was placed aside and began to write.

Seeing Sakura writing very quickly, Mitomon En couldn't help but come closer out of curiosity.

However, after just one look, his face darkened.

Sakura was seen writing a line of big words on the security team's notes.

You're bothering me with such a trivial matter. Do you think I have a lot of free time?
Why does the village support you? Just for show?!
If an old man is occupying the road to do business, can't we persuade him with kind words, then find an empty space and plan a specific area, and let all the villagers who make a living by setting up stalls there? !
Can you please use your brain?
Mizuto Menen looked at the comments in front of him and ignored the abusive words and started thinking about Sakura's actions.

If all the street vendors could be gathered together and planned properly, Konoha would not only have an extra snack street, but the streets would also be cleaner and tidier.

But this will also cause some trouble for villagers who want to buy snacks.

There are pros and cons.

"We can consider implementing it on a trial basis for a period of time to see the effect, and then make improvements after collecting public opinions."

Mitomon En was quite satisfied with how Sakura was handled.

Of course, it would be better if those words complaining about the subordinates' incompetence were not included.

Sakura said nothing about this, but pulled out a second document.

"Regarding the random dumping of swill by villagers in the south of the village, which has caused dirt to grow everywhere, damaged the ecological environment, and caused a foul smell to spread everywhere"

???

The pink-haired girl's eyes twitched, and she wrote almost without thinking.

Don’t the people from the Environmental Management Bureau want to do this job anymore?

If you don't want to do it, there are plenty of people who will do it!

Do I have to teach you something as simple as digging a sewer?
Go find the Earth-Escape Ninja!
"Regarding the kickbacks given to students in the Ninja School cafeteria to eat meals, which resulted in Ninja School students not eating at school"

Mudd!

How dare you be greedy for the meal allowance for school students!

You are so stupid to ask me about this kind of shit?

Where are the guards?

Catch them, catch them!

Imprison him for ten years!

"Regarding that the main road at the east end of the village has been patched up and has not been completed, causing dust to fly around, the villagers complained."

Earth escape ninja!
Earth escape ninja!
Let the earth escape ninja come up!

Also, why haven’t the main roads been repaired yet?
Where is the person in charge!

Get the person in charge out!

"The tap water in the west of the village has been turbid for a long time, and villagers have to go to the store to buy water for daily use."

Sakura looked at the document in front of her and couldn't help but rub her forehead.

Damn...

That's enough.

Dropping the pen in her hand, Sakura glanced sideways at Konoha outside the window.

Mizuto Menen just looked at the pink-haired girl quietly without saying anything much.

After a moment, Sakura picked up the pen again and started to make comments on it.

Replace the person in charge of the water plant, investigate the plant's accounts, and find out how the plant director got to this position in the first place.

Once discovered, take it down immediately.

The sun sets
The documents on the desk disappeared visibly.

Sakura twisted her aching neck.

Konoha seems to be full of problems, but at least the Hokage can see these problems.

Sakura leaned back in the seat that belonged to the Hokage and looked at the ceiling.

If these problems can be seen, then are there any that are invisible?
Not only that, but subordinates in each department lack judgment and decision-making abilities, resulting in the Hokage having to make decisions on all matters.

But Sakura could understand it now. After all, they were a group of people dancing on knives, and it was really difficult for them to do this.

Therefore, it is necessary to urgently train a group of people and disperse them to various departments.

Not only that, in order to prevent these people from becoming corrupt due to the power they have held for so many years, a group of law enforcement officers must be trained.

It is needed both openly and secretly.

The one in public is called law enforcement officer.

Secretly called... Jinyiwei?

Sakura shook her head, getting rid of the somewhat outrageous thoughts in her mind.

Now that the war has just ended, there is a lot of work to be done.

Let’s wait until the war reparations from the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Water arrive first.
