[Naruto] Sakura Shigure

Sakura didn't know what Menma was going to do, and neither did Sasuke.

I got news about Menma after so long, but I didn't expect to be involved in such a troublesome thing.

After Sakura settled Kushina, she no longer paid attention to the situation of "Minato and his son" over there. After a dispute, the two men broke into the grove guarded by the toad with the help of Minato's flying thunder god. Sakura looked over there a few times, bit her lip and turned around.

"Menmata" Sakura didn't know what to say. After receiving news from her companion, she felt a little timid.

Her shadow clone followed what Sasuke said and found the traces left by Menma along the path on the rock wall.

Sakura wouldn't believe the dark scorch marks if they were not intentional. Menma had been running away from the village for so many years without being taken back by Konoha. Why did he leave such obvious marks this time?

Sakura continued to exchange opinions with Sasuke. Naruto was too depressed on the way back. Most of his thoughts were on his parents and Jiraiya here. In addition, Sakura and their communication were relatively secretive and big-hearted. Naruto didn't notice the small movements of his two "teammates".

The Book of the Red Moon was successfully returned to Konoha, and Naruto stayed in the Hokage's office uneasily. Seeing that his attention was not on her, Sakura sneaked away with Sasuke.

The two of them came to the outer streets, still struggling with Menma's purpose. After the discussion was fruitless, Sasuke decided to go home. It was obviously useless to stay in the street in a daze.

"Ah, that's right." Sasuke walked a few steps away, turned around by the street lamp, and said to Sakura, "My brother seemed to have said he wanted to come back a few days ago. He seems to have something to do."

"Hey, Brother Itachi?" Sakura tilted her head in confusion. She seemed to have heard her master mention Uchiha Itachi's name, but she was focused on the changes in the village and couldn't remember what Tsunade originally said. .

At this juncture, is it possible to return to Konoha for the Book of the Red Moon?

After parting ways with Sasuke, Sakura didn't go home immediately. She was the only one in that home anyway, so it was okay to go back to sleep whenever she wanted.

Now, she wanted to get some air to clear her mind.

Think about what to do next.

As she wandered around, she reached the bottom line of Naruto's face. Standing there and looking up at her father's face, Sakura felt a little confused.

If her parents hadn't died so early, she could still ask them for advice now instead of blowing the cold wind on this cliff.

With a slight sigh, Sakura leaned down on the railing in front of her and looked at the twinkling lights of the night market in the distance. As time went by, even the shops at night began to turn off their lights one by one.

Just when she was lost in thought, a loud noise in the distance startled her, and she looked over there subconsciously. The sudden explosion was in the direction of the Hokage Tower, and there was a faint light of fire.

A bad thought flashed through her mind, so she immediately jumped off the Hokage Cliff and took out the flare she carried with her and fired it. When she saw an acquaintance of ninjas on the road, she asked him to evacuate the crowd.

"First, give priority to evacuating the people around the Hokage Tower. Half of the personnel that can be mobilized will be sent for reinforcements. Quickly."

After giving the instructions, Sakura looked towards the direction of the explosion. For some reason, Sakura had a premonition that she was about to meet someone.

Her heart was beating fiercely. When Sakura rushed to the scene, she saw this scene:

Her master, Tsunade, was injured in the arm, half of the Hokage Tower was destroyed by the bomb, and the person her master was guarding was a young man.

He was wearing a fox mask, followed by nine animals wearing the same mask, which looked like summoned creatures.

A name was coming out of her mouth, and there was a mysterious and wonderful connection between their team. Even if this person wore a mask and had black hair, she had a strong premonition.

The summoned creatures instantly fought with the ninjas present. The black-haired masked boy seemed to have not seen Sakura and launched an attack on the Hokage side with full concentration. His words completely revealed his target.

The Book of Zhu Yue.

"Master" Sakura's heart skipped a beat. She moved faster than Namikaze Minato. She rushed over and rescued Tsunade. When she faced the masked boy, she seemed to see his face through his mask. Face.

"Why?" Sakura heard her voice ask, "Why did you do this?"

Her voice was a little angry. From the beginning to the end after Menma betrayed the village, he never did anything that harmed the interests of Konoha. It was as if he was completely separated from Konoha.

Sakura never thought that meeting again would be like this.

He became his enemy and appeared as the opponent of Konoha.

Minato seemed to be shouting that this person was the masked man, and he was shouting to Naruto who had just arrived.

Standing a little further away from Naruto was Sasuke. He was dressed as if he was going to fight at all. Sakura could tell where this man was before. He was probably chatting with girls on the street again.

Sasuke's eyes fell firmly on the so-called "masked man", and then the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile, which was very sarcastic.

"Why didn't I know, masked man, that you still have this identity part-time?"

Sakura and Sasuke's reactions were a bit strange in the eyes of others, and their tone of voice was a bit weird.

Sakura handed Tsunade over to the medical ninja who had just arrived at the scene. With her free hands, she flexed her wrist and showed a bright expression that was incompatible with the gloomy scene. Then she hammered the protruding rocks around her into powder.

"Namikaze Menma, have you thought about how to explain why you left without saying goodbye for so many years?" The bright smile became brighter little by little, and the current peace was giving birth to a huge storm.

As if echoing Sakura's words, Sasuke came step by step behind Menma, blocking him with Sakura.

"Yes, let me tell you, Menma, is it really for the Book of the Red Moon that you returned to the village with great fanfare this time?" His tone was casual, but the expression on Sasuke's face was completely opposite. His silent eyes stopped on that person without moving. Pass.

"Menma" the people present repeated the name, looking away from the "masked man" and then to Naruto in the distance, "Isn't Menma over there?"

In the eyes of others, the blond Naruto is Menma, both in appearance and personality.

The "masked man" who was being watched by everyone moved. He wore such a mask and said in a hoarse and low voice:

"I didn't expect that you were the only one who recognized me after being apart for so long."

Menma must be smiling, but the mask hid his expression.

The atmosphere suddenly became weird. The fact that Menma did not deny that he was Menma made the Minato couple's expressions become very subtle. They looked at Naruto and then at the "masked man".

"It's the one named Madara. Forget it, that person is definitely not Madara. Anyway, someone is playing tricks. Judging from the situation in this village, it should be some kind of illusion, so they don't know you."

Sakura glanced at Naruto who was dumbfounded in the distance, and continued: "That's why they recognized Naruto as you."

This was not the first time that Naruto heard his name from Sakura's mouth, but this time he didn't feel it was real.

Is there something wrong with Sakura?

"S-Sakura"

"Tsk." Sakura clicked her tongue and exchanged glances with Menma and Sasuke, and the two of them started to move in the next second.

"I can't let Menma do whatever you want in Konoha, no matter what your purpose is."

The fist smashed a huge deep hole on the ground, and the cherry-haired girl looked up with sharp eyes. Above her was Menma who jumped high to dodge.

Further back than Menma was Sasuke, with Susanoo's frame surrounding him and his clenched fist aimed at Menma's position.

Menma, who was wearing a mask, didn't panic at all. He moved his hand back from his side and used Wind Release in the direction of Susanai.

The strong wind blew him to a higher position, where Menma's summons swept the person away with gauze.

"I'm just a little concerned." Menma's voice was so soft that no one could hear it.

After rescuing him, those summoned objects disappeared under his command. The Book of the Vermillion Moon was only part of his purpose.

After causing Konoha to become a mess, Menma looked at the chaotic remains of the Hokage Tower and gave his last farewell gift.

When the black energy ball exploded in the sky above Konoha, Sakura's desire to beat Menma up had already turned into beating Menma several times.

The center of the explosion was still the Hokage Tower, but there was Sasuke here. When Susan opened his mouth, he protected many injured ninjas. As the distance went away, the impact of Menma's technique became smaller, so the ones who suffered the most serious damage were still Hokage Tower.

"Menma Menma" withdrew from Susana's protection. Sakura chanted Menma's name over and over again with a distorted expression, and the ninjas she rescued were trembling.

Fortunately, her title as the Hero's Daughter for a long time created a good image for her, and the wounded who could walk carefully thanked her before leaving, and then told her not to worry too much about Namikaze Menma.

"Well, I understand. You don't need to go to the hospital for your injury. If you can, go and help." He waved his hand and sent the person away. Before treating the next injured, Sakura looked at the debris. The ground, she clenched her fists.

With a bang, another piece of the already charred ground collapsed, and Sakura's unkind expression deterred anyone who wanted to come over for treatment.

"I said, they don't dare to come over."

Sasuke came over to talk. He casually leaned against a collapsed wall and motioned to Sakura in a lazy tone: "Rather than Menma, I think we need to resolve that kid's matter now."

Looking in the direction shown by Sasuke, there were three people standing in a cleared open space. They were Minato and his wife and Uzumaki Naruto.
