Double-transformation: I, Sakura Haruno! Will crush the pirates!

Fugaku Uchiha was too incompetent as the clan leader; he was unable to secure external benefits or bridge the internal divisions.

It can be said that Fugaku Uchiha himself bears 30% of the responsibility for the Uchiha clan's eventual destruction, which was a case of an out-of-control chariot.

As for who owns the remaining 70%? The answer is undoubtedly the King of the Ninja World's Pot.

"The Clan of Love..."

Sakura Haruno looked down at her arms, where the ninja wristbands were a gift from a certain tsundere who came to apologize.

The annihilation of the Uchiha clan is truly regrettable, and if it attracts the attention of other major powers, plunging Konoha into turmoil, it will also affect their parents.

For my parents' sake, and to prevent that proud and arrogant person from becoming an orphan, perhaps... I can do something!

Just as Sakura was deep in thought, Hiruzen Sarutobi returned with Fugaku Uchiha.

"After discussions with the Fugaku clan chief, it has been decided that an ANBU member will be stationed in the Uchiha clan to serve as a bridge for communication between the two sides."

After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze swept over the many Anbu members present, intending to select one of these personally trained members as a ninja to be stationed in the Uchiha clan.

However... the fact that the Uchiha clan was at odds with the village was not exactly a secret.

The many secret agents present understood that this was a troublesome task, so they all looked away, afraid that they would be chosen.

"Lord Hokage, please leave this mission to me!"

A clear, crisp voice caught Hiruzen Sarutobi's attention. He looked up and saw Sakura wearing a cat-face mask.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.

With the village and the Uchiha clan rife with conflict, any extreme action could ignite a powder keg between the two sides, yet the practical need to suppress the Uchiha clan remains undeniable.

Sakura Haruno, who spoke up at this moment, has a lot of room for maneuver.

Whether you consider her as a child, a bloodline holder, a powerful ANBU member, or a genius capable of developing techniques to counter Sharingan genjutsu, this task is undoubtedly hers.

“Alright!” Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.

Although Sakura is a bit rebellious, has a wild personality, doesn't pay much attention to manners, and always likes to fight, she is still a good child with the Will of Fire!

"Ahem, this is your mission reward, I'm giving it to you in advance."

He formed a seal resembling the character "寅" (Yin), and a small scroll was summoned by Hiruzen Sarutobi and tossed into Sakura Haruno's hands.

Sakura Haruno's gaze swept over the words on the scroll, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Good grief! Shadow Clone Technique! Is this for me to use to deal with my parents?

Sarutobi, good job!

It's only because there are so many people around right now, otherwise Sakura Haruno would have been completely overpowered by Hiruzen Sarutobi!

As the Anbu and Uchiha groups gradually dispersed, Sakura followed Fugaku Uchiha to his house.

"I apologize for the trouble you've caused during this time, Chief Fugaku."

Sakura Haruno simply took off her mask. With the abilities of the Uchiha clan, even if she was ostracized, she should know her true identity.

Concealing one's identity after it has been exposed is pointless and only invites suspicion.

"Since you're Sasuke's classmate, I'll call you Sakura."

"Of course, you can also call me Uncle Fugaku."

"If you need anything during the mission, just tell Mikoto, and she will help you."

Fugaku Uchiha gave a fairly friendly smile and then left the reception room.

His wife, Uchiha Mikoto, came in and led Haruno Sakura to the room prepared for her.

Boom, boom, boom!

A series of hurried footsteps came from the corridor, and Itachi Uchiha, who had returned from the Anbu, opened the Japanese-style door and rushed in.

Seeing Itachi Uchiha in this state, Sakura Haruno raised an eyebrow.

"Is the beastly senior finally planning to make a move on his junior, Senior Blade?"

The girl, seemingly possessed by a dramatic flair, slumped weakly to the ground, her hand clenching as she wiped her eyes.

Itachi Uchiha was clearly not in the mood for joking with her right now.

"What are you thinking? Why did you get involved in the village and the Uchiha clan's affairs?"

"Now, immediately, go and resign from your post with Lord Sandai, and have him send someone else over!"

The concern in Itachi Uchiha's eyes was genuine; perhaps from the village's perspective, this guy was a good comrade.

Unfortunately.....

Sakura Haruno scanned him with her Observation Haki and felt a chilling chakra emanating from his eye sockets, continuously eroding his brain.

Moreover, the clothes smelled of forest, soil, and blood, suggesting that they may have come into contact with... roots?

"Who else could we replace at this point? Is there anyone in the Anbu more suitable than me?"

Sakura countered Itachi's question, leaving him speechless.

"Sigh, Itachi Uchiha!"

Sakura sighed softly and called out the name of the person in front of her.

Sakura Haruno removed the iron armor of the Anbu, revealing the gauntlets underneath.

There was a small fan at the cuff of the gauntlet, which was a unique symbol of the Uchiha clan's ninja tool merchants.

"This was given to me by your younger brother."

Itachi Uchiha frowned, puzzled, and asked, "What's the connection?"

“I saw the potential of your Uchiha clan in him, which is why I was willing to get involved in this vortex.”

It is not the kind of character made of lines that you used to see in comics.

They are vibrant individuals, weaving their own stories on this land called Konoha with their own joys and sorrows.

Sasuke Uchiha is a bit arrogant, but kind-hearted; Itachi Uchiha is always burdened with bitterness and hatred, yet willing to take care of his juniors...

It was their vibrant energy that allowed Sakura to feel the burning passion of the Uchiha clan beneath their cold exterior.

The Uchiha clan is a clan of love. Sakura Haruno approves of their way of life, and therefore, as a pirate, she will act in her own way for the friends she acknowledges.

"So, please don't let me down, Uchiha!"

Moonlight streamed down, and a gentle breeze ruffled her cherry-pink short hair, revealing a confident and bold smile, as well as her hopes for the future of the Uchiha clan.

This scene will become an unforgettable memory for Itachi Uchiha.

Chapter 22 Uchiha Family Meals

In the early morning, a black cat climbed up the wall and stretched.

The Uchiha ninjas were running around on the rooftops in twos and threes when they were drawn to a cat and stopped to pet it.

In the home of the clan leader, Sasuke Uchiha, the second son of the clan leader, wakes up on the tatami mat.

I tidied up my bedding, changed my clothes, and got ready to go to school.

After washing up, I went to the dining table. My mother seemed to be talking to someone in the kitchen.

"Oh, it smells delicious. It seems like it's about time."

"Sakura's cooking skills are amazing. I wonder who will benefit from them in the future~"

Mikoto Uchiha watched Sakura Haruno skillfully stir-fry the food and couldn't help but admire her.

"What do you think of my two children?"

She went over to help prepare the dishes, and in a good mood, she joked with Sakura.

"No, they're too weak, they can't beat me."

"Besides, at my age, isn't it too early to discuss this?"

Sakura Haruno resolutely refused, picked up the stew without expression, and walked out.

"That's really a shame~"

Mikoto Uchiha pouted and began tidying up the kitchen.

To be honest, she genuinely liked girls like Haruno Sakura, who was cute, sensible, and a great cook.

What a pity, both sons are such blockheads. Otherwise, how wonderful it would be to have a daughter like Sakura.

"Here, eat!"

A dazed Sasuke Uchiha saw a stew placed in front of him, picked up his chopsticks, and instinctively started eating.

"Mom, why are you eating such greasy food so early in the morning?"

"Because there are physical training classes in the morning, we need plenty of protein and electrolytes!"

In a daze, Uchiha Sasuke seemed to hear the voice of that pink-haired, super-strong woman.

No, no, no, it must be my imagination. How could that guy possibly have followed me all the way home?

Rubbing his eyes, Uchiha Sasuke looked to his right.

Just then, I saw a girl sitting next to me, enjoying her stew.

"!!!"

Sasuke Uchiha was so frightened that he twitched and fell to the ground along with his chair.

He couldn't help but raise his voice, asking in a panic, "What are you doing here!"

"What's with all this panic? Get up!"

Under Fugaku Uchiha's reprimand, Sasuke Uchiha quickly got up.

She stomped her foot hard, ran behind Itachi Uchiha, and grabbed his clothes.

That little expression seemed to say—Brother, look at her!

"Alright, Sakura will be staying at our house as an ANBU member stationed with the Uchiha clan for the time being."

"Sasuke, you should get along well with your classmates."

Sasuke Uchiha stiffened as Itachi Uchiha patted his head and shoved him back into his seat.

His stiffness lasted all morning.

During physical education class, he dared not make any eye contact with the super-strong woman.

He had already apologized to her, so why did he still chase her all the way to his house?

If I don't disrespect her at school anymore, will she come to my house and beat me up at night?

—No, I don't want that kind of thing!

"Sakura sauce, sakura sauce."

"What's wrong with Sasuke? Why has he been looking at you with such a strange expression all morning?"

On the track, Ino, panting heavily, approached Sakura and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, maybe he was with his brother this morning..."

call out!

In a secluded corner, a small pebble was thrown out using the Uchiha-style throwing technique, interrupting Sakura Haruno's words.

Sakura Haruno felt uncomfortable under a resentful gaze, so she simply shut her mouth.

If that childish, arrogant person gets angry and attacks her directly, then her secret of learning with a shadow clone will be exposed.

"What are you talking about with his brother?"

Ino relentlessly pursued her questions.

"Well, who knows?"

Sakura winked playfully at Ino, quickened her pace, and ran ahead, leaving Ino chasing after her with a helpless expression.

The laughter of the girls echoed on the track, and before they knew it, it was time to end their day of schoolwork.

The setting sun cast its rays on the riverbank embankment. Sakura Haruno, who had spent the day training in the forest, walked through the Uchiha clan's territory, bathed in sunlight.
