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

Chapter 265 The storm is coming
The sky was gray.

The pink girl was naked in a clear hot spring that was like a pool of water.

This is the Immortal Pond in the Wet Bone Forest, a special place formed by the natural energy accumulated by the slug immortal over thousands of years.

The terrifying natural energy contained therein is an excellent way to transform an ordinary person who has no knowledge of immortal arts into a user of Sage Mode.

Of course, the prerequisite is to be able to survive and not be corroded into ashes by this fairy pond.

Sakura was soaking in the fairy pond, while the little slug fairy was lying quietly on a stone beside her.

"Xiaoying hasn't been here for a long time."

The words of the Slug Immortal were still gentle and soft like those of a kind older sister.

Sakura was bubbling in the pool, and finally she poked her head out of the pool and spoke:
"Because there have been so many things going on recently..."

Sakura was helpless.

Kakuzu and Hidan before, followed by Goryo, and then there is Myobokusan...

"Being the Hokage is indeed very busy."

"Thank you for your hard work, Sakura."

The Slug Sage crawled to Sakura's side and spoke in a gentle voice.

“Indeed, many things are annoying.”

Sakura agrees with this.

Sure enough, Mr. Slug is the easiest to get along with.

"However, Sakura has a demonic aura..."

The Slug Immortal spoke with some hesitation.

Thousands of years ago, except for a few powerful demons, all the others were almost all killed by Otsutsuki Hagoromo, the Sage of Six Paths.

As one of the witnesses, the Slug Immortal naturally knows it very well.

"Eh?"

"is it?"

Sakura raised her arm and sniffed, but there was no smell.

"You can't smell it with your nose."

The Slug Immortal spoke helplessly.

This contractor is good in every way.

Cute appearance, strong strength, strong mind and kind personality.

Apart from being a little erratic on weekdays, he is simply the most ideal contractor.

"That's it."

Sakura sank into the spring again, leaving only her head outside.

"Because Wuliang was resurrected some time ago, I took people over and killed that guy."

The words were spoken casually, as if it was a trivial matter.

"Eh?"

"Sakura can actually beat the monster?"

The Slug Fairy was quite surprised by this. It was obvious that she had never expected that the contractor in front of her could defeat the monster.

"Mmmmmmm!"

"It's awesome!"

Sakura lay in the water, looking at the slug sage in front of her with a smile.

To Sakura, Slug Sage is simply a caring big sister.

Not only can they help her in battle, but they also respond to her requests on weekdays. They also have a good personality, unlike the toads in Myoboku Mountain and the worms in Ryuchi Cave.

"Sakura is really amazing."

The Slug Immortal nodded.

She really didn't expect that the little girl in front of her could defeat the monster.

In other words, was my previous estimate of the contractor's strength... wrong?

"But speaking of which, yesterday that Gamamaru from Myoboku Mountain asked me to come over, saying that he had predicted something about me."

Sakura mentioned the giant toad hermit from Mount Myōboku again.

"Toad pills?"

"Sakura should call him the Great Toad Sage."

The Slug Immortal reminded.

"Well, don't worry about it. I don't like it anyway."

Listening to Sakura's words, the Slug Sage didn't say much.

Although they are both one of the three holy places, because toads are good against slugs, the Slug Sage doesn't like the group of toads in Myoboku Mountain, even if he doesn't say it.

"So, what did Gamamaru predict?"

The Slug Immortal asked as if intentionally or unintentionally.

In response to the Slug Sage's words, Sakura directly told him everything that happened in Myoboku Mountain yesterday.

"Really? You actually want to steal my contractor."

After knowing what happened, Slug Sage spoke with some dissatisfaction, which surprised Sakura.

You know, the Slug Sage has a very good temper. This is the first time Sakura has seen her show dissatisfaction.

"But don't take it too seriously, Sakura. It's just Gamamaru's prophecy."

"The so-called prophecy is nothing but the nonsense of that old fellow Toad Pill. When a person is faced with a choice, the opinions of others are certainly important."

“But what’s more important is what that person represents.”

"If the prophecy is destined to happen, doesn't that completely negate the value of the person in the prophecy?"

"And Sakura's value does not need anyone else's prediction at all."

"Because Sakura was recognized by many people and became the Hokage."

"There is no need for so-called prophecies."

The Slug Immortal spoke in a gentle voice, but the meaning of his words clearly denied the Toad Pill's predictive ability.

"Uh-huh!"

"I think so too."

Sakura poked the slug sage's limp body with a chuckle.

"But speaking of which, who is more powerful, Slug-sama, Gamamaru from Myobokusan, or the White Snake Immortal from Ryuchi Cave?"

Listening to Sakura's words, the Slug Sage smiled indifferently and spoke in a gentle voice:
"Who knows~~~"

Listening to the Slug Sage's words, Sakura's smile involuntarily widened.

A thousand years have passed.

The Slug Immortal is still the same Slug Immortal.

But the White Snake Immortal and Toad Pill are already very old, and the meaning of this is naturally self-evident.

-

Jiraiya looked wistfully at the building in the distance that seemed familiar yet unfamiliar.

That's the Haruno family.

The home of the Fifth Hokage.

The Great Toad Sage wanted him to bring Sakura's sister over to meet him, which made him feel a little resistant.

After all, the future is still too small.

Only three years old.

In Jiraiya's understanding, the beings in the prophecy are all people with important missions.

He can take on this responsibility, and Sakura can take on it.

But it is definitely not something that a three-year-old child can bear.

but……

What if Xiao Weilai is not the person predicted by the Great Toad Immortal?
Pink haired person.

There are not many people with pink hair in the ninja world.

Among the people Jiraiya knew, only Sakura and her sister had pink hair.

So in Jiraiya's opinion, Sakura is the child of prophecy in the latest prophecy of the Great Toad Sage.

After all, Sakura is so outstanding.

She will never be able to surpass her sister in the future.

If I just wanted to meet the Great Toad Immortal with my future...

should……

……

Jiraiya left.

Finally he sighed and left.

He couldn't make this decision.

Sakura's attitude towards the Great Toad Sage yesterday said it all. Sakura doesn't like the Great Toad Sage and must be resisting the Great Toad Sage's predictions.

If Sakura's sister was taken to Myoboku Mountain at this time, Sakura, who didn't like the Big Toad Sage, might directly attack Myoboku Mountain.

And at this time, Jiraiya felt that he had more important things to do.

His child of prophecy, Nagato.

He needs to find Nagato and bring him back to the right path.

Even though Sakura had previously allowed him to live out his old age in the village, given Jiraiya's personality, how could he possibly listen to such advice?

Now that the Akatsuki has captured the Kazekage and the Mizukage, he needs to go to the Hidden Rain Village.

Let Nagato stop in time. If he could make it in time, there would still be room for maneuver.

He left, leaving without hesitation.

Set out on the road to the Hidden Rain Village.

This is his responsibility.

The responsibility of being the Master of the Child of Prophecy.

However, what Jiraiya didn't notice was that a toad was quietly sitting in the corner watching everything.

“Qua~~~”

With a frog croak, the toad disappeared on the spot.

-

Sakura had just returned to the Hokage's office from the Wet Bone Forest. Just as she untied the shadow clone that had fallen asleep in the office, there was a knock on the office door.

"Hokage-sama, these are the passing statistics for today."

Kamijutsuki Izumo took a report and placed it in front of Sakura.

"Well, I see."

Sakura took a look at the report in front of her, but she saw a familiar name on it, which made Sakura frown slightly.

"Jiraiya left the village?"

"Yes, about three hours ago."

Shen Yue Izumo responded respectfully.

Three hours……

"Where did he go?"

Faced with Sakura's question, Kamijutsuki Izumo felt a little embarrassed.

How would he know why Jiraiya went out?

"Forget it, you go down first."

Sakura realized her mistake.

The other party is not qualified to know Jiraiya's purpose.

As Kamijutsuki Izumo left, Sakura sat in her chair with a complicated look on her face.

This guy still ran away...

Is it fun to go and die?

Thinking of this, Sakura sighed and prepared to gather people to stop this guy, but there was another knock on the office door.

It’s Diewashi again, the director of the intelligence department.

"Hokage-sama."

"The Sand Village and the Mist Village attacked the Rain Village."

Before Sakura could ask, Deiwashi spoke first and presented the latest information to Sakura.

Sakura took the information and quickly read its contents.

Just yesterday, the Sand Village and the Mist Village sent troops to attack the Rain Village.

And yesterday was the fourth day since the Ninja Alliance disbanded.

The Sand Village quickly dispatched 5,000 ninjas to attack the Rain Village first.

Kirigakure followed closely behind, sending 3,000 soldiers.

However, due to the geographical location, it is necessary to cross the sea, avoid the Fire Kingdom, Iron Kingdom, Whirlpool Kingdom and Thunder Kingdom, and then land in the Taki Kingdom and head towards the Rain Kingdom.

So the journey will be much slower.

It is not surprising why the Sand Village and the Mist Village knew that Akatsuki's headquarters was in the Rain Village.

After all, Xiao made quite a big fuss three years ago.

Moreover, the Sand Village and Akatsuki have cooperated before, so it is not surprising to know that the other party's base is in the Rain Village.

"House seemingly endless rain."

Looking at the information in her hand, Xiaoying held her forehead, then looked at Diewashi and said:
"Let Kakashi, Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Karin, and Terumi Mei come over."

"Yes."

Diewashi's expression froze and he quickly left.

Watching Deiwashi leave, Sakura leaned back in her chair and thought about everything.

Jiraiya chose a good time to go to the Hidden Rain Village.

The Rain Country is close to the Wind Country, and at this moment, the Sand Village may have already started a fight with the Rain Village.

Although the Sand Village is one of the five major ninja villages, Sakura is not optimistic about this so-called one of the five major ninja villages.

Right now, the Akatsuki organization is probably busy extracting the chakra of the tailed beasts and cannot be free for the time being, probably for about six days.

Four days have passed since the Kazekage Gaara and the Mizukage Yutaka were captured.

There are only two days left.

And the Sand Village's plan to conquer the Rain Country in two days is nothing but a pipe dream.

When two days are up, the Sand Village army will be destroyed.

Jiraiya was heading to the Hidden Rain Village at this time. With his speed, he could probably arrive there just as the other party had sealed the tailed beasts.

Facing Pain, Konan, Uchiha Obito, Hoshigaki Kisame, Sasori, and Uchiha Itachi is tantamount to seeking death.

Even though there is Uchiha Itachi as an insider, it is estimated that Uchiha Itachi can't hold on.

If he rescued Jiraiya, I'm afraid both of them would die.

And given his personality, he would probably just sit back and watch Jiraiya die.

At this moment, Kakashi, Sasuke, Karin, and Mei Terumi have all arrived at the Hokage's office.

"I won't say any more nonsense."

"There is only one purpose, to capture Jiraiya."

"A team of four, Kakashi you are the captain."

Sakura placed the task she had just written in Kakashi's hand.

Kakashi took the mission scroll, glanced at it quickly, and looked solemn.

At this moment, the Sand Village has already started fighting with the Rain Village.

Jiraiya was stubborn and wanted to break into the Hidden Rain Village. If he was discovered at this time, he would be treated as a spy.

And more importantly, Jiraiya is from Konoha.

What does it mean when Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas of Konoha, enters the Hidden Rain Village at this time?
Jiraiya's move not only irritated the nerves of Amegakure, but also irritated the nerves of the other four major ninja villages.

If one of them is not handled properly, there might be another ninja war.

"I see."

Kakashi spoke in a deep voice.

This mission must be accomplished.

"Sasuke."

At this moment, Sakura looked towards the black-haired boy.

Sasuke looked up.

"If there is a chance, meet Uchiha Itachi."

Sakura spoke calmly.

"it is good."

Sasuke responded.

Sasuke thought Sakura wanted him to deal with Uchiha Itachi.

After all, the hatred of genocide must be avenged.

But Sakura felt that this Uchiha Itachi was probably terminally ill and deserved to die.

It's time to contribute those eyes.

Although the result is the same, the purpose is different.

With Uchiha Itachi's intelligence, he should understand Sakura's approach.

And gladly accepted it.

"And one more thing."

Sakura looked at Kakashi.

"No matter what enemy you encounter, don't hold back."

Kakashi's expression changed slightly.

Is this a reminder to yourself?

"Yes."

Kakashi spoke heavily.

Watching the four people disappear before her eyes, Sakura gently stroked her frowning brows, and then suddenly spoke:
"Let Tobirama Senju and Naruto Uzumaki come over."

Sakura has already planned that Naruto's tailed beast training is imminent.

This time, she took Uchiha Hikaru personally and Naruto to Turtle Island.

Must succeed.

There are Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Hikaru, and myself.

Even Uchiha Madara could give him two big fights, let alone a mere Nine-Tails.

Sakura had a feeling that something unexpected was going to happen soon, and it would be best to muster up the necessary fighting strength at this time.

With Mao Yue Xi Yan's departure, the office fell silent again...
