[Naruto] The Legend of Xuan Ying (Sakura Sakura)

Uzumaki Naruto finally crawled back from the river bed. Unexpectedly, despite the fierce battle just now, he was still complaining, "Why is the water in this river so heavy?" before he was tied to a log by the jounin.

"Eh? What's going on? Sakura-chan, you grabbed the bell? As expected of Sakura-chan!" He looked at the bell in Haruno Sakura's hand with bright eyes.

Gurgling--his belly is as lively as he is.

"Oh---your stomachs are growling with hunger, you guys! By the way, about this exercise... forget it! Anyway, you don't have to go back to the ninja school."

Glancing at Naruto and Sasuke, who were obviously happy, Haruno Sakura raised her eyebrows with a playful expression.

Kakashi Hatake observed Haruno Sakura's reaction and said: "That's right, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, you two don't need to be ninjas! And Haruno Sakura---"

Before he finished speaking, Uchiha Sasuke's black pupils flashed red again, and he attacked the ninja, but his immature Sharingan failed to change the gap in strength between the two.

The Jonin sat on Sasuke, grabbed his wrist and stepped on the boy's head, and then said: "That's why I say you are brats, you really are. Haruno Sakura, will you stay alone under my hands for the time being, or will I I can recommend you to ANBU --- don't get me wrong, this decision is not made because of your ability, on the contrary, it is because of your shortcomings!"

Hatake Kakashi continued: "Do you look down on ninjas? Huh? Why do you think we have to conduct this exercise in groups!"

"You guys haven't figured out the answer to this test at all!"

"Answer?" Uzumaki Naruto on the log asked.

"That's right, the answer to determine whether you pass this test." Hatake Kakashi ignored Naruto who was yelling angrily, and kept quietly studying the female ninja's reaction, and then said: "That's----"

"Teamwork, right?" Haruno Sakura interrupted him, then raised her hand apologetically to signal the other party to continue.

Kakashi was a little surprised by the girl's intervention, and then said: "Yes, see for yourselves. Naruto, you always run around alone. Although Sasuke didn't have a chance to take action just now, like Sakura, he relies on himself. He obviously doesn’t want to cooperate with his teammates, and he may even think that his teammates will only get in the way.”

"Especially Haruno Sakura, you are not bad at strength, but why do you think ninjas need to operate in small groups? For example..." Hatake Kakashi took out a kunai from his fingers and placed it on Uchiha Sasuke's neck: "Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto choose one fate."

"Oh?" Haruno Sakura's expression was like that of a child playing: "Then I have to ask your boss, Kakashi-sensei, for an order. For Konoha, is the life of the Uchiha orphan more valuable, or... …”

"Pfft, I was joking!" Seeing the silver-haired Jonin's expression becoming more serious, Haruno Sakura laughed out loud: "Kakashi-sensei, if you don't tell Naruto that you are joking, he might think that I really want to kill him. Him?"

Kakashi ignored Naruto's panicked eyes, let go of Sasuke's neck, and twirled the kunai on his fingertips, but kept staring at Haruno Sakura.

Haruno Sakura looked back at Hatake Kakashi staring at her. Their eyes were locked in each other's eyes, both observing each other's body language. Haruno Sakura shrugged again: "Well, I worked so hard to prepare for this test, and this is the secondary purpose. .”

She shook the two bells on her hands, and the words and the jingles rang together: "I can't do anything for my unfamiliar teammates, but there are two bells here. If I give them to two of them, they can become genin, right? I don’t care if I want to be a genin or not, and I’d be very grateful if you recommended going to Anbu or something.”

"Are you kidding me! It's so hard to be in the same class as Sakura-chan! And it was Sakura-chan who grabbed the bell!"

Amid Naruto's shouting, Hatake Kakashi put away his kunai and stood up. Uchiha Sasuke, who finally got rid of his confinement, looked unhappy: "Hey, if you said you want to test teamwork, why are there only two bells?" ?」

Of course, the subjects need to start internal strife in order to select ninjas who can ignore their own interests and prioritize teamwork to ensure that the ninjas work hard for the village one after another. ------ Haruno Sakura resisted the urge to say this. It would be better for the world of teenagers to be less complicated, she thought.

"This test is to screen out ninjas who can cooperate with teammates regardless of their own interests in this situation. Lone Rangers who don't understand teamwork will put their companions in crisis. Just like what I just demonstrated to Sakura, companions Being held hostage and forcing you to make a painful choice may result in the death of your companions. If you become a ninja, the tasks you have to face are all jobs that risk your life!"

He approached the monument behind him, touched the monument and said, "Look at this, the countless names engraved on it are all ninjas who are called heroes."

"That's it, that's it! I decided that I also want to engrave my name on it! Hero, hero! How could I die so easily!" Naruto smiled excitedly, but he didn't realize that Sakura and Sasuke beside him both said Scoff.

"But, none of the people here are ordinary heroes." Hatake Kakashi was silent for a few seconds after saying this, which was in sharp contrast to Naruto's urging. Kakashi continued: "They are on a mission. Heroes who died in the line of duty! And the names of my good friends are also engraved on it..."

Haruno Sakura also stepped forward, and her fingertips brushed over the inscriptions on the commemorative tablet through her gloves. The hem of Haori's skirt fluttered in the wind, and the beautiful dark patterns were vivid. She said: "If you continue to follow the footsteps of your friend, Move forward with your ideals, and you will see your old friends alive."

Obito Uchiha

A person who lives like he has inherited Asura's legacy is still an Uchiha at heart.

A complete idealist, his expectations of the world were too high and he fell deeper.

A martyr who overturned an era or a destroyer who brought about the end. Even without the Eye of the Moon plan, this man who is still engraved on the memorial monument may have to go to some extreme after all.

"Why, Sakura also has an old acquaintance on top?"

Haruno Sakura shook her head and smiled softly: "I want to be a memorial monument for my old friend and sing his praises." She seemed to think of something good, even her voice became lighter: "I won't talk about this anymore, I changed That's an idea, I really want to get a genin title. Sasuke, Naruto, I'm sorry for going back on my word, can you work hard with me for another afternoon?"

She said as she retreated to the grass next to the log and sat down.

"Of course! How can Class 7 be without Sakura-chan? Even though Sasuke is annoying, I still reluctantly work with him to let Kakashi-sensei know what teamwork in Class 7 is!"

"Humph..." Uchiha Sasuke didn't agree with him, but his smile clearly expressed his agreement.

"Do you just take it for granted that I will give you another chance?" Hatake Kakashi was extremely happy but pretended to be fierce. He opened his forehead protector to reveal his left eye, causing Sasuke to stand up and be on guard.

"You guys..." The next second the Jonin changed his majestic tone and said with a smile: "Passed!"

Hatake Kakashi happily watched the visible joy and excitement of the two teenagers, and also observed Haruno Sakura's extremely slight reaction.

Haruno Sakura smiled back at the careful eyes, and then she looked up at the clear sky, smelling the fragrance of the grass and trees in the breeze. When I looked down, I saw a larvae emerging from the soil.

This time she was like a qualified ninja, no more fussing or trembling like a squirming gnat. She just watched this celebration of life peacefully, listening to the bickering between Naruto and Sasuke with a smile.

In fact, I have thought about not being a ninja for a long time, as early as when I first came to this world, no, maybe even earlier.

Going back to my previous life, when I was still vulgarly cheering for the passionate battle scenes on the screen, when I was still rolling on the soft bed with my imagination inspired by time-travel novels, I still imagined that if I time-traveled into Naruto, I already had a premonition that I wouldn't be able to become a ninja.

Haruno Sakura raised her hand and lightly touched the cold forehead protector, and then touched the sheath of the sword. She took advantage of this initial restart to make a point and comment on her ninja career in this world.

No matter which way you define it, whether it is a tool that obliterates emotions by following orders, a ninja who endures things that ordinary people cannot, or the kind of righteousness of an unknown guardian in the darkness, I cannot do it. Even if the situation is reduced, I don't think I can be as fearless in fighting and sacrifice as a ninja, nor do I think I can be fearless in taking the lives of others.

I'm just a normal guy.

Ordinary people are the most cruel and hypocritical.

They can use harsh words to make people fall from the top of the building voluntarily, and laugh at their cowardice; they can use majority rule violence to send happy criminals to the guillotine, but they never consciously realize that they are also depriving them of the right to life;

But when they picked up the murder weapon with their own hands, their hands were trembling pitifully.

I'm just a normal guy.

The most indifferent, cruel, yet cowardly and ridiculous kind.

I can't be a ninja, or so I once thought.

I still underestimated human adaptability.

The daily routine that was once boring has become the deepest unavailability, and has long faded in the memory. It was so pale that even the burning heat burned by the strings on the fingertips could not cover the cocoon left by the handle and kunai.

How could a ninja who had experienced an ANBU career be so afraid of insects?

I wish I was really Mary Sue, and came to the world to change my destiny, and let all my regrets turn into rainbows, and then live a happy harem life with three thousand beauties.

I always hear people debating whether life is a tragedy or a comedy, but I just think it’s a farce.

There are so many happy stories in the world.

But you are all such wonderful people that I can’t help but feel that this world is worth it.
