[Naruto Storyline] Wandering

Nine months after Haruno Sakura was transferred to Tsurugen, Akatsuki officially declared war on the Four Nations Allied Forces.

Because Akatsuki occupies the hub countries among the countries, forcing those originally neutral countries to become Akatsuki's strongholds, even if the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Thunder form a four-nation alliance, it is nothing more than the alliance of each country in its own territory. Fighting on the land.At the same time, Akatsuki's army was in full swing on the battlefield, leaving only a shocking expanse of scorched earth where the artillery fire reached. In less than a month since the start of the Fourth World War, Akatsuki's front on the western battlefield of the Kingdom of Fire has crossed the southern border. Jia Chuan advanced two hundred kilometers.

This speed shocked everyone.

When Haruno Sakura heard the news of the fall of Nanjiachuan on the radio, it was raining in autumn outside the window. The cold rain in October dyed the maple leaves all over the mountain, and everywhere was red as if it was about to burn.Haruno Sakura rushed to the phone and dialed the number Kakashi left for her according to the contact information in the phone book, but there was only a voice on the other end of the phone indicating that the line was faulty. She frantically dialed the number of Kakashi's unit. Almost all contact numbers, but without exception, are line failures.

In the end, Haruno Sakura dejectedly gave up this futile attempt, and stared blankly at the raindrops dripping from the eaves—I don’t know whether Kakashi moved with the retreat of the troops or died in battle on the Nangagawa battlefield. ——She covered her face and didn't want others to see her weak tears.

As the war continues to tighten, the Land of Earth, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Thunder are also overwhelmed.

Akatsuki's goal was very clear, it wanted to separate and destroy the countries one by one, so Akatsuki first cut off the land and sea transportation and supply lines of the Fire Nation.Between the Heyuan area in the northern part of the country of fire and the country of earth, there are several small countries, the country of sound, the country of soup, the country of birds and the country of rivers, but the power of Akatsuki annexed these countries all the way from the country of rain, The topography of these countries is complex and changeable, with numerous swamps, forests and lakes, forming a natural barrier between the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth.

And the only railway line that runs through the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth in these countries is also controlled by Akatsuki.

The Land of Earth is the largest oil supplier to the Land of Fire, and the Land of Fire also provides a large amount of medicine and clothing to the Land of Earth.Akatsuki's move undoubtedly strangled the throats of the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth. However, neither of the two countries dared to adopt bombing tactics easily, because once the railway line was damaged, it would be difficult to build a new material transportation system under such complicated geographical conditions. Lines of communication will be even more difficult.Therefore, the Land of Earth had to dispatch infantry troops to the southern border, trying to attack Akatsuki's army on both sides with the Land of Fire to regain these lifelines on land.

In the Heyuan area of ​​the northern battlefield, Haruno Sakura was incorporated into the team of front-line field doctors, while Tsunade was in the rear hospital.

Right now is Haruno Sakura's busiest time, a tough battle has just ended, she has to shuttle among the wounded transported from the front with other field doctors, and take advantage of the intermission of the battle to provide emergency treatment for these wounded .

Heyuan is located in the northern part of the Fire Country, and all the conditions are not as complete and standardized as Konoha, and the situation is even worse during wartime. When Haruno Sakura first arrived in Heyuan, she couldn't help being speechless, but now she is used to it.Haruno Sakura skillfully stopped the bleeding, debridement, and bandaged the wounded. Cracking and screams echoed in the makeshift medical tent. She sighed softly, and carefully used tweezers to remove the shrapnel from the wounded wound in front of her.

After this battle, the Nation of Fire retreated back to the station twenty kilometers away from the front line to discuss the next battle plan.

Military trucks drove back along the road with soldiers and wounded, and Haruno Sakura sat in the transport box at the back of the truck like the wounded.The bitter winter wind keeps pouring in, and only a few stars twinkle in the sky.Haruno Sakura lit a cigarette for herself, squinted her eyes and sat in the corner smoking unhurriedly. The headlights of the military truck following her reflected the profile of her profile.Haruno Sakura didn't know when she learned to smoke. She remembered that the first time she smoked was on the day when the massacre in Mizuno Kuni Hatsuharu happened. Sai handed the cigarette to her with a smile, but she choked after only one puff. It's all over her mouth, but now, she has been able to use smoking to suppress her inner anxiety and release the pressure that is everywhere.

It was not until the cigarette in her hand was almost burned out that Haruno Sakura threw the cigarette butt under her feet and stomped on it.

After arriving at the station, Haruno Sakura could not rest. She had to assist Tsunade and the doctors at the rear hospital to perform operations on the wounded who needed amputation, laparotomy and other follow-up treatments.

"Are you sleepy?" Tsunade greeted her at the hospital gate.

Haruno Sakura shook her head with a smile, but this could not conceal her tired expression. Next, she will prepare for an amputation operation and two chest penetrating injury operations. Tonight is another difficult task for Haruno Sakura.She took out the candy from her pocket and sipped it in her mouth. The sweetness of the candy mixed with the bitterness of the smoke. Haruno Sakura frowned, scrubbed her hands and put on a surgical gown, and walked into the operating room.

The amputee was a 21-year-old young boy who returned to the station in the same truck as Haruno Sakura.On the way back, Haruno Sakura noticed that the young boy had been tense, silently enduring the pain, cold sweat dripping down his pale cheeks.

Haruno Sakura feels very sorry for losing a leg at such a young age, but too many lives and deaths have made her numb.Thinking about the next two thoracic surgeries, Haruno Sakura collected herself and nodded to the male doctor who was doing the surgery, indicating that the surgery would start.

After the amputated limb was cut off, Sakura Haruno switched places with the chief surgeon, and she continued to complete the operation.This way of double rotation can save a certain amount of physical strength for the two to cope with the next operation.In the operating room, there was only the sound of the instruments and the brief conversation between the surgeon and the equipment nurse. Everyone was unwilling to say unnecessary words, and just wanted to complete the task at hand as soon as possible.

The night is always so short for the three operations. When Haruno Sakura finished the last operation, it was already eight o'clock in the morning. She almost closed her eyes, took off her gloves and surgical gown, and walked out of the operating room .The sun cast a bright light, and the north wind howled over the head one after another. Haruno Sakura sat aimlessly on the bench at the entrance of the hospital. The sun made her a little sleepy, but her hunger kept her from falling asleep.

"Hey, Dr. Haruno, I'll take your breakfast for you." Someone handed over a piece of dry bread and a can of milk. Haruno Sakura opened her eyes in a daze. Under the backlight, Haruno Sakura It took a lot of effort to finally see the face of the person in front of him, it was Choji Akimichi.

"Oh, thank you." Haruno Sakura was not familiar with Choji, so she smiled politely at Choji, and took the milk and bread in his hand.

"You can soak dry bread in milk, it will taste better," Choji suggested.

"Good idea." Haruno Sakura patted her forehead and laughed while pinching the hard bread. She almost forgot that this fat but very kind man in front of her was once a gourmet map and food guide in the Konoha Military Academy. .Haruno Sakura got up and went to the doctor's duty room. She took out her own cup and poured milk into it. She unpacked the bag of dry bread in her hand and threw the dry bread into the cup. She stared at the hard bread in the cup. The milk gradually became soft and swollen, and I couldn't help being a little distracted.

Seeing Haruno Sakura digging the softened bread with a spoon and putting it into her mouth contentedly, Choji couldn't help grinning: "I'm right."

"Why were you assigned to the northern war zone?" Haruno Sakura finally regained her spirits after breakfast.It was not easy to meet her classmates from the military school, and Choji was also a good friend of Shikamaru and Ino, and Haruno Sakura felt a lot of kindness in her heart.

"Since I graduated, I have been working in the logistics department of the Heyuan area under the northern theater. The traffic here is not very developed, and the news is a bit blocked, but everything else is great, especially there are many delicious snacks." Ding Ci blinked. Blinking, "Shikamaru went to Tingshuisi Military Prison, I heard it's a leisurely job."

"You two happen to be one south and one north, and you are quite far apart." Haruno Sakura sighed.

"It's a little bit—but Ino stayed at the Konoha Institute of Microbiology after graduation, just between me and Shikamaru, so I don't feel that we are far away from each other." Ding Ci stretched his brows and smiled .

"Ino..." When mentioning Ino, Haruno Sakura felt a little depressed.

"I remember Dr. Haruno and Ino are good friends. How is Ino doing?"

Choji doesn't seem to know that Ino was infected with the Kyubi virus, and he doesn't know that Haruno Sakura was once held as a prisoner in the Tesuiji Military Prison where Shikamaru is.Faced with Choji's expectant inquiry, Haruno Sakura really couldn't bear to tell him that Ino was infected with the Kyubi virus, but Haruno Sakura didn't want to lie to him either.She looked down at the milk and bread crumbs in the cup, and then pretended to be relaxed and said: "She is very good. I went to Shanzhong's house before I came to Heyuan. She happened to be sitting in the yard arranging flowers. Her flower arrangement works are really good. It's very nice."

"Of course, besides flower arrangements, Ino's desserts are also delicious." Choji added hastily.

"Yes, I especially like the matcha mille-feuille cake and red bean pie she made." Haruno Sakura agreed, but the intense sadness and pain made her hold the cup tightly.

When Haruno Sakura was thinking about how to shift the topic away from Ino, Choji looked down at his watch and exclaimed: "I have to go, there is a meeting in the logistics department." He was in a hurry He stood up and bowed to Haruno Sakura, "Thank you for bringing the news about Ino. I didn't expect Dr. Haruno to come to Heyuan. It's a pity that we didn't meet each other before. We need to take care of each other in the future."

"Please take care of me." Haruno Sakura breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to return the greeting.
