Naruto hodgepodge

Chapter 60: Sakura Aiming to Become Hokage

Heartbroken, Sakura walked into the house with heavy steps. The afterglow of the setting sun fell weakly on her shoulders, as if even the light was adding a touch of gloom to her mood. The aroma of dinner filled the air, but she seemed to have lost all her appetite and hid directly in her slightly messy but safe little house, letting her tears slide silently and wet her pillow. Haruno Zhao and his wife exchanged a worried look, but tacitly chose to remain silent.

At this moment, a different voice than usual sounded. It was Sakura's innermost strong and independent self, Sakura, who quietly emerged from her emotional trough. Her voice was unquestionably firm: "Don't cry, Sakura. Naruto will be fine. He has extraordinary perseverance and strength, and he won't die easily."

Sakura looked up, staring at the air with tearful eyes, as if she could see the resolute figure of Brother Ying: "Really? Brother Ying."

Sakura smiled softly and continued, "Of course, Naruto not only has a firm dream of becoming a Hokage, but he also has the powerful Nine-tailed Beast sealed in his body, a power that even many strong men cannot even dream of. Moreover, at some point in the future, he will even fight against a god-like being and become a hero who protects the ninja world."

Sakura's tears gradually stopped, replaced by shock and curiosity: "Tailed beast? God? Naruto... is he that powerful?"

Sakura nodded, his eyes flashing with complex emotions: "Yes, and Sasuke, the Uchiha boy who helped you on the street corner and made you blush and heartbeat when you saw him. In my memory, he also has powerful strength. The three of us became companions in the future and challenged the goddess of the dragon, Kaguya Otsutsuki, who is called God."

"Is his name Sasuke? Will I be that powerful in the future and fight alongside them, against God?" Sakura muttered to herself, a strange emotion surging in her heart.

"Yes, Uchiha Sasuke," Sakura's voice was gentle but firm. "I am the equivalent of you at 16 years old, plus the six years of relived life, and I have one more memory from the future than you. There, I saw their growth trajectory, their strength and loneliness, and the bond that transcends life and death. I tried hard to follow in their footsteps, and became a disciple of Tsunade-sama, one of the three ninjas, and practiced medical ninjutsu. I naively thought that I seemed to have caught up with them, but in the end I realized how far I was from their backs. In the end, when the two of them were about to have the final life-and-death duel, I tried to persuade Sasuke, but Sasuke stabbed me in the heart with Raikiri."

Sakura was stunned. She had never thought that she would be connected to such a grand destiny: "Is it really impossible to catch up? Why did Sasuke... do that?"

Sakura sighed softly: "Sasuke carries the blood feud of his family. Deep in his heart is a loneliness and darkness that is difficult to touch. Although I love him, I don't understand him at all. In the end, I can only watch him and Naruto fight to the death. There is nothing I can do. Only Naruto can stop him and bring him back."

Sakura felt mixed emotions when she heard this: "Ah, so you... like him, but... I didn't expect him to be so fierce."

Sakura admitted frankly: "Yes, I like Sasuke, but that was in the past." Sakura sat next to Sakura, his eyes revealing a kind of indifference and depth after experiencing vicissitudes of life. He spoke slowly, as if telling a story that was both familiar and distant: "Sakura, do you know? I may have been attracted to that face in the past, but that was just a breeze in my youth. As we stepped into the world of ninja step by step, those superficial things have long been worn away without a trace. Looking back now, that love was more like an inexplicable will quietly pushing me behind the scenes, which made me unable to resist."

"When I was in Ninja School, Sasuke and I were just ordinary friends among many classmates. I mustered up the courage to confess my feelings to him, but I got a cold rejection. At that moment, my heart felt like it was stabbed by a needle, but I didn't give up. I believed that time would prove everything. Later, we were fortunate to become companions and carry out missions together, but after half a year, except for the quick meetings during the missions, we didn't seem to have any deeper communication. It seems that there are always too many secrets in his heart that I can't touch."

"Later, he made the decision that shocked the entire Konoha - defection. At that moment, I felt an unprecedented loss and confusion, as if the whole world had collapsed. I wanted to follow him and leave, but I didn't expect that he would abandon me, our common companions and memories. I tried to understand his choice, but I could not find the answer."

"Until we met again, it was a thrilling duel. I asked Naruto to bring back Sasuke because I had made a so-called lifelong promise to him, but Naruto kept wanting to bring back Sasuke who could no longer be brought back because of my promise. (The theme of the early plot was not messed up. Naruto really wanted to bring back Sasuke because he liked Sakura and wanted to fulfill his promise. Later, the theme of Naruto's bond became popular and basically the love setting was thrown away. Sakura's request was like a joke. In Naruto's heart, she was not as good as Sasuke at all. She was just a prop for Naruto to get close to Sasuke.) Later, Sasuke became a criminal. I wanted to kill him because I was worried that Naruto would fall into danger again and again, but I couldn't do it because of my inner struggle. Just when I was almost killed by Sasuke's Chidori, it was Naruto who appeared in time to save my life. At that moment, I deeply felt the confusion and powerlessness in my heart."

"However, fate always seems to like playing jokes. When the entire ninja world was facing the crisis of destruction, Sasuke unexpectedly appeared. He stood on our side and fought against the powerful enemy together. I was surprised at his transformation, and even more surprised that I could fight side by side with him again with such tacit understanding. But what followed was his sudden ambition to become the Hokage, and later, after we had a difficult battle with the enemy, the inexplicable life-and-death duel between the two of them."

At this point, Sakura's eyes became extremely complicated and profound. She slowly said, "Xiaoying, I can't help but wonder, is all this a clever arrangement of fate? Has my will been quietly rewritten at some unnoticed moment? Why do I have such complicated feelings for Sasuke? And why am I always involuntarily involved in the seemingly endless entanglement between the two of them? Perhaps, my rebirth comes from the unwillingness deep in my heart, unwilling to be just a bystander, standing behind their backs, unable to change anything."

Sakura frowned slightly when she heard that, her eyes full of confusion: "I still don't quite understand, Sakura, are you saying... By the way, for Naruto, you want to kill Sasuke? You said before that you like Sasuke, which sounds incredible. Or is it that the one you really like in your heart is Naruto?"

Sakura shook his head slightly, with a bitter smile on his face. "How is that possible, Sakura? No matter who you like, it won't be Naruto. He does have his charm, and his occasional highlights are indeed dazzling, but he is like a wooden block, and has no idea about girls' minds. That time, in order to win back Sasuke, he even rejected my confession. Although my confession at that time was more out of protection for him, since I said it out loud, it's natural for me to date him. But to be honest, Naruto is more like a buddy who can confide in me. He naturally has his admirers, and I always feel that he has a special feeling for Sasuke, only because they are both men."

At this point, Ying Ge's eyes became soft and deep: "But, this is not important. Now I have been reborn, and I still have the memory of the future. Now you have chakra, and we can communicate with each other through the telepathic space at any time, without fear of illusions. Let me train you, and the two of us 1+1>3, we will definitely leave them both behind in this life."

Sakura: Well, I'm not like you who has 16 years more memory than me. You said both of them can fight against gods, is it really possible to catch up? I'm a civilian, and only Naruto taught me chakra training. They are so powerful and practiced earlier, why should I rely on him?

Ying Ge's eyes became more determined, as if he could see into the future: "Indeed, I have these extra 16 years of memory, which is our advantage. And because of my rebirth, our mental strength is now countless times greater than before, and our potential is much deeper than you can imagine. Chakra training is not only a accumulation of time and resources, but also a competition of will and wisdom. Don't forget, you have a unique perspective and experience that I don't have. This is your most precious wealth."

She patted Sakura's shoulder and encouraged her: "As for them being able to fight against God, that is not an unattainable myth. Might Guy is the best example. With his mortal body, he has almost reached a level comparable to God through unremitting efforts and firm beliefs. And I also gave the so-called chakra ancestors a hard punch on the head. We don't need to imitate them, but we must walk our own path and surpass them in our own way."

"Although we are of common origin, this is the source of our strength. Without a prominent background, there are no shackles to bind you. You can explore, learn and grow freely. And don't forget, you still have me. Together, we can create unlimited possibilities." Ying Ge's words were full of confidence and determination.

"Based on your uniqueness, I will carefully plan a training program to improve your chakra control and ninjutsu skills in all aspects. At the same time, more importantly, I will forge your indomitable will so that you can be as calm as ice in actual combat and accurately capture every decisive moment. Remember, a true strong person is not only powerful, but also mentally tough and wise. And I, as your guide, will go hand in hand with you. I firmly believe that as long as we think in the same direction and work together, there will be no other shore that we cannot reach. In my previous life, I was a disciple of the Fifth Hokage. Now I have set a goal to move forward and launch the most intense sprint to become the Hokage of Konoha."

When Sakura heard this, the hesitation in her eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by unprecedented firmness and determination: "Brother Sakura, you are absolutely right! Although I don't understand, I want to fight alongside you. My future dream is to become the Hokage of Konoha!"

In the spiritual space, Sakura and Brother Ying smiled at each other, their eyes flickering with longing for the future. At the same time, Sakura on the bed fell asleep peacefully with a smile on her face, and continued this expectation in her dreams.
