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

Chapter 216 Dragon Vein, Heart

The pricking sensation in his eyes faded away like the tide, and Sasuke felt a warm force soothing his eyes, especially the pupil power he had just used, which was recovering little by little under this force.

What's this……

When the warm power gradually disappeared, Sasuke, who had just used Susanoo for the first time, slowly opened his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Sasuke saw Sakura in front of him.

"That one just now was..."

Sasuke looked at the familiar pink-haired creature in front of him and spoke hesitantly.

That should be one of Sakura's techniques, but it is incredible that that power can actually restore his eye power.

"That's Yang Release. Just think of it as an enhanced version of medical ninjutsu."

Sakura was not surprised that Yang escape could restore the power of the Mangekyo.

The reason why Uchiha Obito could use Kamui unscrupulously was not because the large number of Hashirama cells in his body provided him with enough Yang Release power for him to squander his pupil power.

Even though Sakura's Yang Release isn't as advanced as Hashirama Senju's at the moment, Hashirama Senju is dead, but Sakura is still alive.

A dead person's Yang Release can bring such an effect to Uchiha Obito.

It makes sense that the living Sakura used the Yang Release, which is used for healing, to restore Sasuke's eye power.

Sasuke's heart moved when he heard this.

If that’s the case, then has the worry about insufficient pupil power been resolved?

From now on, can I use Susanoo to slap a dog whenever I meet one?

Sakura couldn't help but twitch her lips as she looked at Sasuke who seemed to be deep in thought. She probably understood what Sasuke was thinking.

But it doesn't matter, it's just a little bit of Yangtun Chakra.

Sakura said that Yang Dun was enough.

Gundam can be driven at will.

"Sasuke!"

"Are you OK!"

At this moment, Naruto also ran over and approached Sasuke with a worried look on his face.

Looking at Naruto's face so close to him, Sasuke pressed his hand on Naruto's face and pushed him away with an expressionless face.

I still have a score to settle with Naruto!
He was crazy enough to ask Sakura to evacuate the civilians.

Sakura ignored Sasuke and Naruto, and walked step by step to the centipede lying in the ruins.

The centipede was in a very miserable state at the moment, having been hit head-on by a magical Big Jade Rasengan. If it had not been for the protection of the dragon veins, the opponent would have been completely killed by this blow.

Ninjas are a group of people with high attack and low health. Except for people like Hashirama Senju, Sakura, and Orochimaru, even Uchiha Madara can kill him with a kunai.

What's more, Baizu is also a puppeteer.

"Dead yet?"

He stretched out his foot and kicked the centipede that was lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

Baizu endured the severe pain in his chest and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Sakura's pink hair, which was unique in the ninja world, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

"Five, five, the fifth Hokage..."

"That's quite insightful."

Sakura squatted down and stretched out her hand to press on the other's chest. A bright green light emanated from her hand, healing the centipede's injuries.

Seeing this, Baizu completely accepted his fate.

The Hokage himself is here.

How virtuous and capable he is!

The sound of the centipede was not loud, but it made Minato Namikaze, who was already walking over, pause, and his expression changed slightly.

The Fifth Hokage...

The sixteen-year-old Hokage.

He couldn't help but think of what the pink-haired guy said when he fought with him before.

"I am the leader of Konoha Ninja."

It turns out that this statement was not just a casual remark, but the truth?
"What should he do?"

Minato Namikaze suppressed the shock in his heart and slowly walked over.

"He is still useful to me. I will take him away soon."

Sakura glanced back at Minato Namikaze, then continued to treat the Centipede.

"Don't you know how to seal?"

"Let's seal his chakra first."

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze didn't say much, but walked forward and began to prepare to seal Centipede's chakra, but at this time he glanced at Sakura again.

So young...

"What are you?"

Sakura noticed Minato Namikaze's gaze and couldn't help but speak.

"I just didn't expect that the Hokage twenty years from now would be so young."

Listening to Minato Namikaze's words, Sakura stood up, stopped treating the centipede, and said nonchalantly:

"Why, even you have such a superficial view?"

Namikaze Minato was speechless when he saw the energetic girl in front of him, then he smiled helplessly and said:

"I have neglected this. How can he be an ordinary teenager who can ascend to the position of Hokage at this age?"

As the Five Elements Seal fell, Centipede's chakra was controlled by Minato Namikaze.

"What are you going to do next?"

Minato Namikaze stood up and looked at the pink girl in front of him.

"Exploring the dragon veins, what about you?"

Sakura expressed her desire for the dragon vein without any hesitation.

"In order not to affect the future, I will place a seal on myself and you, and make you forget everything that happened during this period."

Sure enough, Namikaze Minato is still the Namikaze Minato in Sakura's memory.

"Even if you will die?"

"Even if I die."

Namikaze Minato nodded heavily.

"It's up to you, but actually, you just need to seal yourself. What can people in the future do even if they know about the past?"

"Besides, Naruto probably doesn't want to forget you either."

Sakura pointed at Naruto, who was standing beside Sasuke and Karin and looking at this place with complicated eyes.

Namikaze Minato looked at Naruto hesitantly, the complicated feelings in his heart were hard to put into words.

"Forget it... As long as you can keep an eye on the dragon vein and prevent people from the future from coming to the past and disrupting the future, that's all."

In the end, Minato Namikaze gave up the idea of ​​engraving the sealing technique on Sakura and the others.

"Your Excellency An Lushan!"

Just as Sakura and the others were talking, a red-haired girl came into their sight.

"your Highness."

Minato Namikaze stepped forward to stop Sasha.

"Who are you?!"

"What are you going to do to Lord An Lushan?"

Looking at the centipede lying in the ruins, Sasha was anxious.

After her mother died, the only person she could trust was An Lushan.

"Princess Sasha, please calm down."

"According to my intelligence, your mother was killed by An Lushan."

"And at the same time he continuously enslaved the people of Loulan to serve him."

Namikaze Minato looked at the girl in front of him calmly.

"How can this be!"

Sasha shook her head frantically, totally disbelieving what Minato Namikaze said.

Seeing this, Sakura was not interested in staying here any longer. She looked at Naruto, Sasuke and the other two and said:

"Naruto, we don't have much time, you should stay here."

"Sasuke, Karin, you two, clean up the mess with Minato Namikaze."

The three of them had no objection to Sakura's words, and Sakura disappeared on the spot.

……

Walking alone in the empty Dragon Vein Palace, there were hundreds of puppets guarding the Dragon Vein Palace.

However, with the defeat of the Centipede and the chakra being sealed, these puppets just stayed quietly in place without anyone controlling them.

Standing on the platform built above the origin of the dragon vein, Sakura stared at the dragon vein chakra below which had turned into liquid substance.

It is as if endless chakra gathers here to form a pool of water formed entirely of chakra.

Sakura walked on the wall surrounding the origin of the dragon vein, her green eyes looking thoughtfully at the nearby dragon vein.

Looking at the wall tiles immersed in the pool of water, Sakura stretched out her hand and immersed it into the origin of the dragon vein.

The moment her palm sank into the dragon vein, Xiaoying frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.

In addition to being able to clearly feel the huge amount of chakra, there are also countless...

Life energy!

Sakura, who was proficient in Yang escape, immediately sensed the incomparably pure life energy.

His thin eyebrows furrowed, and a feeling of worry arose in his heart.

Sakura felt that this so-called dragon vein was not the same as what she had imagined.

Originally, Sakura thought that the so-called dragon vein was a place of opportunity like the three holy places.

but……

She pursed her lips, and once again placed her palm into the origin of the dragon vein, closing her eyes and feeling it calmly.

There are flowers, grass and trees.

There are plants and there are animals.

There are countless life energies.

and……

It’s growing stronger all the time!
Sakura's eyes snapped open and her hand retracted at lightning speed.

This can even be called a dragon vein!

This is simply a battle of life and death!
All the life energy around is absorbed and gathered here, forming a place where "corpse water" gathers, which seems to be blessed with great fortune, but is actually formed by thousands of living creatures!
No wonder there’s desert all around here!

It turns out that all of it was sucked away by the dragon vein!
Sakura looked at the beautiful liquid in front of her that glowed with purple light and felt a chill run down her spine.

The more beautiful something is, the more poisonous it is.

In the ninja world, there is a so-called barrier formation.

The Four Purple Flame Formation, the Four Red Sun Formation, the Sky Canopy Formation, these are the barrier formations that Sakura is most familiar with.

And how the barrier formation was formed in the first place.

That was when a genius discovered some naturally formed singularities in nature, and was inspired by them to create the barrier formation.

And the so-called dragon vein in front of us is a special point in nature!
Absorb all the life energy around you into one point.

Hundreds and thousands of years later, this area that should have been an oasis gradually turned into an uninhabited desert as life energy continued to drain away.

Thinking of this, Sakura's frown never relaxed, and she once again reached her hand into the dragon vein.

Open the sky-covering magic array!

With the opening of the perception barrier, Sakura's consciousness instantly covered the entire Loulan through the dragon veins and the dragon vein tracks that Baizu had previously laid out.

She saw Naruto communicating with Minato Namikaze nearby.

She saw Sasha squatting on the side, looking dejected after learning the truth.

She saw the people of Loulan whispering to each other in the distance, facing the stagnant puppets.

Then he continued to wander along the route of the dragon vein, which was naturally formed like a natural creation by the magic of nature, and his consciousness soared thousands of miles away!

Until this moment, Sakura was in shock.

The range of this dragon vein absorbing life energy...

It covers almost two-thirds of the Kingdom of Wind!
Wherever consciousness passes, there is a desert!

This is simply...

Sakura felt a chill run down her spine.

He withdrew his hand, ended the Sky Cover Formation, and regained consciousness.

Sakura looked at the dragon vein in front of her with a serious expression.

This is simply terrifying.

Sakura had been thinking of setting up one in Konoha based on this thing, but now it seems she'd better give up.

Sakura looked at the beautiful dragon vein origin in front of her, feeling complicated and thinking for a long time.

This kind of formation-like existence is often extremely sophisticated, and as long as any point of it is destroyed, it can be stopped.

Now a problem is placed before Sakura.

Destroy the dragon vein, preserve the dragon vein. If the dragon vein is destroyed, the countless life energies will naturally begin to dissipate with the disappearance of this singularity. He will have to spit out as much as he inhaled.

By then, with the dragon vein as the center, oases will once again spread all over the Wind Kingdom, and it is not impossible that it will become a place with abundant resources like the Fire Kingdom.

but……

The Sand Village in the Wind Country is Konoha's enemy.

Even now that a so-called non-aggression treaty has been signed.

But who would believe this kind of shit?

Sakura was lost in thought.

Breaking the dragon vein is like aiding the enemy.

……

After a long time, Sakura left the Dragon Vein Palace.

"Sakura, what have you been doing?"

Naruto looked at Sakura who had disappeared for a long time and couldn't help but speak out of curiosity.

However, Sakura ignored Naruto and looked at Minato Namikaze, and said with mixed feelings:
"Chat?"

One person is short-term, two people are long-term.

Now the only person who has a proper overall view and is suitable to discuss such matters is Minato Namikaze.

Even if the other party has not yet ascended to the position of the Fourth Hokage.

Namikaze Minato was stunned for a moment, but looking at Sakura's frowning expression, he nodded.

Although they had only known each other for a short time, he could already tell that the other person was a man with his own ideas.

In this situation, the other party actually needs to talk to me.

It must be something very important.

On the rooftop of a building, the future Fifth Hokage and the Fourth Hokage who would take office soon stood side by side, gazing at the bustling city before them.

"That's what happened. Do you have anything to say?"

Sakura told Minato Namikaze everything about the dragon vein.

Namikaze Minato was shocked by the horror of the dragon vein and was also surprised by Sakura.

He originally thought that teenagers aged fifteen or sixteen would have that unique type of "chuunibyou".

The dragon veins are indeed terrifying, but according to Sakura, the immense life energy there is no way to be fake.

What is life energy?
Pointing directly to the existence of the essence of life.

Minato Namikaze saw Sakura's Yang Release technique when she treated Sasuke.

The pink girl in front of me is definitely an expert in Yang Dun.

However, Yang Dun cannot avoid life energy.

The other party did not think of taking the dragon vein for himself, but was considering whether to destroy this singularity and return the life energy to the Kingdom of Wind.

"Aren't you moved?"

Namikaze Minato asked his own question.

“Heartbeat.”

Sakura nodded honestly.

If one had so much life energy, the practice of Yang Dun would definitely advance by leaps and bounds.

"Then why..."

Minato Namikaze wanted to see what kind of person the future Fifth Hokage would be.

"I……"

There was a hint of hesitation in Sakura's eyes.

It is true that absorbing so much life energy will surely make your Yang Dun advance by leaps and bounds.

But Sakura didn't know if there would be any consequences.

To a certain extent, the ninja world is also an idealistic existence.

Especially the Six Paths level.

Uchiha Obito entered the Six Paths Sage Mode, and his will was weak, causing the nine tailed beasts in his body to run wild and he took the opportunity to escape.

And to carry so much life energy, one must also carry so much willpower.

It’s scary to think about it.

"Using other life energies to become stronger, it's quick."

Thinking of this, there seemed to be an inexplicable flash in Xiaoying's eyes.

"but……"

"I have been using my own fists all along the way. All the chakra I have belongs to me."

Yes……

Yes……

Why should I, Haruno Sakura, rely on other people's lives to do things?

Can't I do it alone?
Even without that life energy, I can still crush everything!
The enemies along the way and possible enemies in the future flashed one by one in Sakura's eyes.

Orochimaru, Two-tail, Raikage, Wind Shadow, Mizukage, Akatsuki, Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Madara, Otsutsuki...

The faces of these countless people appeared one by one in Sakura's mind.

Even without that life energy, I can still crush everything!
Sakura's mind once again reappeared this year.

Moreover, having personally experienced the benefits of other people’s life energy…

Just like flour, once you try it, you can’t stop.

And if he absorbed that life energy, then what would be the difference between him and those aliens from Otsutsuki?
The other party plants trees to absorb the energy of the planet and produce chakra fruits, while he absorbs the life energy of the singularity. After trying this method of becoming stronger quickly, he may artificially create this dragon vein singularity in the future.

Human nature cannot stand the test.

For some reason, Sakura remembered what Tobirama Senju said when he was reincarnated by the Impure World Reincarnation and asked him to guide her in practicing Yang Release.

She wants to smash everything with one punch.

Now, without the dragon vein, can she no longer do it?

No.

I can.

I can.

I can do it.

"I do not need."

He spoke calmly and matter-of-factly.

“Why do I need external help?”

"Are you looking down on me?"

The girl looked calmly at Minato Namikaze in front of her.

As if stating something that should be taken for granted.

Be clear-minded and wise, and stick to your original intention.

Minato Namikaze looked at the girl in front of him in amazement, his eyes full of surprise.

Believe in yourself absolutely and never allow external things to interfere with you.

Of course, Minato Namikaze could sense the girl's mood fluctuations before, but he didn't expect that in just a short moment, the other party would quickly stabilize her mind and escape from this huge temptation of benefits.

This kind of mentality, this kind of firm will like steel.

Genius is no longer enough to describe the other person.

The other party is an unwavering worshipper who has absolute trust in himself.

It’s just that the object of the other party’s worship is herself.

If the other party doesn't die, he will definitely be in the ninja world in the future...

No.

To describe it as the ninja world is a bit too small.

The other party is a bright star that shines extremely brightly in the long river of history.

After her, there will be countless people walking on the path she has walked.

"Do not."

Namikaze Minato suppressed the turmoil in his heart and spoke calmly:
"It's not a disdain, it's just a suggestion."

Unfortunately, I probably won’t be able to see how dazzling she will be in the future.

Minato Namikaze felt a little regretful.

"But in order to avoid interfering with the future, we can consider destroying the dragon vein after you return."

"After all, no one knows what will happen in the next twenty years now that the dragon vein has been destroyed."

Sakura nodded and said:
"You are right."

"Oh, this actually adds a benefit to the Wind Kingdom."

It's more than just a benefit, he is simply the savior of everyone in the Wind Kingdom.

The Land of Wind originally had extremely scarce resources, and large tracts of its land were deserts. Now that the dragon veins have been destroyed, the life energy that has been there for who knows how many years has been pouring out. It is conceivable that it won’t be long before the Land of Wind will become one of the most resource-rich places in the ninja world.

Sakura left

Naruto, Sasuke, Karin and the Centipede left.

Left Loulan, left twenty years ago.

Behind her was a surging dragon vein that sprinkled countless life energies into the desert like a fountain.

In this mission, it seems that nothing was gained except the centipede.

But only Minato Namikaze twenty years ago and Sakura now know how much Sakura has gained this time.

Be firm in yourself and stick to your heart.

No matter what happens, my heart will never waver.

Everything you do and see is correct.

This is by no means a result that can be achieved by strength alone.

This is something more precious than strength.

-

"Sakura!"

"Where have you been all this time?"

As soon as the pink-haired girl returned to the Hokage's office, a roar suddenly sounded, which instantly broke Sakura's calm expression.

Looking at Mitomon En roaring like an angry lion in front of her, Sakura couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Uh, ha, haha, Old Man Yan, please listen to my explanation..."

While trying to comfort Mito Kado En, he looked at Senju Tobirama with a look for help.

Senju Tobirama spread his hands to indicate that he could do nothing to help.

As the Hokage, he had been absent from work for so long that he couldn't cover it up no matter how hard he tried.

This is impossible to do.

"What explanation!"

"Do you know who you are?!"

"What kind of status?"

Mito Kado En has been in a really bad mood recently. He thought that the newly appointed Fifth Hokage, although a young man, should know the importance of things.

Unexpectedly, less than two months after taking office, he ran away from home.

As the elder of Konoha, he has been very busy recently.

If this situation happened again, Mizuto Menyan felt that he would live two years less!

Can you please show some sympathy to this old man who is already in his seventies?
"Uh, I know I was wrong..."

In desperation, Sakura could only apologize obediently, but her eyes lit up and she immediately spoke:

"I brought a talent back to the village this time!"

After saying that, without waiting for Mito Menyan's reaction, he quickly pulled out Baizu, who was standing at the door with a reserved look on his face.

"Who is this guy?"

Baizu is now a bit plump. Mitomon En knew about the wanted order issued by the Sand Ninja requesting Konoha to join forces to capture him, but he could hardly recognize him.

"This person is... An Lushan... Yes, that's right! It's An Lushan!"

Sakura hesitated for a moment, then spoke firmly.

It is absolutely certain that this guy is An Lushan!

"You didn't come up with this name on the spur of the moment, did you?"

Mitomon En looked at Sakura who was trying to hide her guilt, and the veins on his forehead couldn't help but jump.

"no!"

"He has been calling An Lushan for six years!"

This is the truth, and Sakura has a clear conscience when she speaks it.

What centipede? The centipede died a long time ago!
This guy is An Lushan!

She had gone through so much trouble to find the Son of Civil Engineering!
