The three people who heard Kakashi's voice looked around and saw Kakashi carrying the unconscious trio with both hands. After nodding towards Sakura and Ai Ye, he said to Anko: "Go to the central tower and report here. Let me tell you about Orochimaru's situation."

"But……"

"Your subordinates have reported the information to Hokage-sama."

After Kakashi interrupted Anko, he put the trio on the ground and said at the same time: "Compared to Orochimaru's incident, what happened here is the most worthy of your report."

Hearing this, Anko looked at the huge knife mark that turned the forest into a forest, swallowed, and did not choose to continue arguing with Kakashi, but rushed directly towards the central tower.

After Anko left, Kakashi glanced at Sakura who was holding Aino's hand. They should have known that he had been following Aino, but they did not stand up when Aino was in danger.

"Feel sorry……"

Kakashi took a deep breath, prepared to die in the line of duty, and apologized to Sakura.

And Sakura, who had really planned to kill Kakashi, looked at his somewhat self-blaming eyes and could only sigh helplessly. She was not qualified to judge whether he was right or wrong, because if Aino was replaced If he becomes Kakashi and replaces the trio with Aino, he might not care about Kakashi's life or death.

"The person you should apologize to is not me, but Ai Ye."

Kakashi was stunned when he heard this, raised his head slightly, looked at Sakura's eyes that were a little reproachful, but more revealing of understanding, and smiled bitterly, "It seems that this time, I am the villain." ’

Kakashi thought of this, and then bowed deeply to the pale Aino, "I'm sorry."

"Hey! You don't have to be so serious, Mr. Fish Eyes!"

Ai Ye was startled by Kakashi who suddenly made such a big gift, and quickly ran over and said: "No need for this, I understand your behavior, if it were me, I would make the same choice as you. "

After saying that, she patted her princess dress with a hole in it and said, "Look, I'm fine now, so you don't have to blame yourself so much. If you really want to make it up to me, treat me to a meal after the Chuunin Exam is over." Just barbecue.”

Kakashi straightened up, looked at Ai Ye who was smiling and comforting him, and shook his head slightly. The bow he just made not only represented his own apology, but also represented Konoha's apology to the two of them.

Of course, the two of them are not fools. They have always been tacitly aware of Konoha's surveillance of them. Seeing Kakashi shaking his head, Sakura and Aino naturally understood Kakashi's position and the Hokage's status. The attitude of the leader of a country.

In fact, from the perspective of the two of them, this behavior was undoubtedly caused by Aino's excessive arrogance, but Kakashi didn't know, and the Hokage didn't know. In their opinion, Aino encountered such a dangerous situation. Konoha must bear a large part of the responsibility for the situation.

‘A country that can bend and stretch is a great country. ’

Sakura looked at Kakashi's attitude and smiled slightly, and decided not to continue to get entangled in this matter, because there was another more troublesome thing waiting for herself and Konoha.

"How much do you know about Orochimaru?"

Kakashi was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Sakura's somewhat solemn face, frowned and asked in confusion: "I don't know much about it, what's wrong?"

"Yes, Sister Yingluo."

Ai Ye turned to Sakura and asked curiously: "Hasn't he been killed by you? Why are you asking so many questions?"

"About this..."

After Yingluo shook her head slightly, she sighed helplessly and said, "Unfortunately, I didn't succeed in killing him."

"what?!"

Aino and Kakashi were furious at the same time when they heard this. Kakashi was furious because Orochimaru was not dead, while Aino was furious because...

"How did that guy escape?"

Ai Ye widened his eyes and asked Yingluo in disbelief: "Even Ba Gu can't dodge your knife. Just... just a human? Can he run away?"

"Don't talk like you're not human."

Sakura patted Ai Ye who was overly excited, and told her to pay attention to her words and deeds, then said to Kakashi: "That guy should have used a technique similar to spiritualism. Although my knife is fast enough, if it is... A guy who can beat Aino like that...it's not surprising that he can escape."

Kakashi frowned when he heard this. Seeing Kakashi's cautious expression, Sakura smiled and said, "Don't worry so much. Although that guy is fast enough, my sword should be faster. He can't slip away from me without a problem, I can guarantee that."

After hearing what Sakura said, Kakashi raised his head and glanced at the sunny Death Forest around him. You must know that this ghost place does not receive sunlight all year round.

"I understand, but I still have to report this matter to Lord Hokage. Orochimaru... is too dangerous."

"I understand that."

Sakura glanced at Ai Ye, who had nothing to do and ran to heal the trio. She narrowed her eyes and said softly to Kakashi: "If you find the whereabouts of Orochimaru, please inform me."

"...You want to settle a score with him?"

"of course."

After Sakura interrupted Kakashi's attempt to continue speaking, she crossed her arms and said, "He almost made me lose Ai Ye. I won't bear this debt on his head. Do you want to Do I remember it on Konoha’s head?”

Kakashi, who heard what Sakura said, thought about how dangerous Orochimaru was, and then looked at the spine-chilling knife mark behind Sakura, with a trace of cold sweat on his forehead, "I understand. .”

"Oh, right."

Seeing Kakashi agreeing, Sakura smiled slightly, and then seemed to remember something, and said to Kakashi, who was about to leave here and report to the central tower: "Let the Hokage pay attention to Suna Ninja Village."

As Yingluo spoke, she pointed to her left forehead and said, "That child is very special."

Kakashi frowned when he heard this. Although he didn't quite understand what Sakura was talking about, she probably wouldn't frame herself with false information. Then he nodded to show that he understood, and rushed towards the central tower.

‘This should be enough. ’

Sakura looked at the direction Kakashi left and thought to herself: 'As long as Naruto is not stupid, he should be able to understand what he wants to express. ’

Thinking of this, Sakura turned her head back and said to Ai Ye, who was sitting next to the trio: "You go back to the central tower to rest. I'll watch over the trio."

"No need, Sister Yingluo."

Ai Ye waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm fine! Don't worry about me!"

Yingluo looked at Ai Ye's still pale little face, wondering how she could not understand what this little girl was thinking. She walked forward and hugged Ai Ye.

"Sister Sakura...Sister Sakura?"

"Don't worry, no one will blame you."

Yingluo patted Ai Ye's back gently and said: "No one is a saint, and no one can make mistakes. Even the Lord God will make mistakes sometimes, let alone us?"

Having said this, Yingluo let go of Ai Ye and looked at the youngest and most favored Yaomei in Jiuling biting her lips and not knowing what to say. She smiled and stretched out her hand to scratch her lips. Little Nose, "You get into a lot of trouble. Have you ever seen anyone dislike you?"

"But...this time is different..."

"What's the difference?"

"I...because of my arrogance, I almost delayed the mission. I'm afraid that the Lord God..."

Before Ai Ye could finish speaking, Ying Luo patted Ai Ye's head gently and said, "Even if the Lord God is angry, he will only be angry because of your arrogance. Don't you usually get scolded like this too often?" Or are you afraid that the Lord God will drive you away?"

Ai Ye looked up at Sakura, then nodded aggrievedly, grabbing her princess dress with both hands and saying: "I have made mistakes too many times, and this time... I almost got myself involved, I I’m afraid that the Lord God will drive me away and prevent me from continuing to perform missions with you.”

"Don't worry~~"

Yingluo stretched out her hand and rubbed Ai Ye's little face, and said with a smile: "If I want to drive you away, those guys will definitely be the first to disagree. Don't you know how much they usually like you?"

"Know……"

Ai Ye nodded obediently and asked Sakura with some worry: "...Is it true that the Lord God will not drive me away?"

"Really, I promise!"

"Is it true?"

"Really!"

"Is it really true?"

"Really..."

"Really, really..."

Snapped!

"It's endless!"

Ai Ye, who was patted on the head by Ying Luo, said with a smile: "Hey, I understand, then I will go back and rest first. Sister Ying Luo, you should come back early!"

After that, Ai Ye cheered up and walked towards the central tower. Yingluo, who was watching Ai Ye go away, relaxed slightly when he saw that she had returned to her usual solid appearance. From the tone of her voice, she was really worried about the psychological shadow left by Ai Ye because of this incident.

Time came at night, and Sasuke, who had been unconscious for almost a whole day, opened his eyes first. He suddenly sat up from the ground, subconsciously opened his Sharingan and looked at the figure on the other side of the bonfire.

"I originally thought that Naruto would be the first to wake up, but I didn't expect that it would be you."

Sakura looked at Sasuke's puzzled gaze, handed him the grilled fish, and said, "Curious why I'm here?"

"Um……"

After learning that the person sitting opposite him was Sakura, Sasuke closed his Sharingan, took the grilled fish, and took a big bite. He had not eaten for more than a day and was really hungry.

"Eat slowly, I've done a lot."

Sakura smiled and glanced at Sasuke who was devouring his food, then lowered his head and said while flipping the grilled fish, "Are you shocked?"

After hearing Yingluo's words, Sasuke suddenly stopped eating grilled fish. His expression kept changing, and finally stopped at the expression of weakness, "Sister Yingluo, am I really weak?"

"You are not weak."

Sakura's overly decisive answer made Sasuke slightly stunned. He raised his head and caught Sakura's gaze. He looked at Sakura sitting opposite the bonfire, as if he was seeing the amiable man again.

But at the same time, what that man did to him and the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood also resurfaced before his eyes.
