From the night of genocide to the strongest

In front of the fire, nine Konoha little guys gathered together to warm themselves up.

"Exotic monsters and the like, do such things really exist?"

"Isn't it some kind of feudal superstition?"

As he spoke, Naruto glanced at the surrounding environment, shrunk and complained: "The weather here is really cold. Even though we are just on the border of the Land of Rain, the cold air here makes me feel sticky.

"

"Exotic monsters do exist!"

Compared to the careless Naruto, Sakura, as a top student, is erudite and knowledgeable.

"In the tenth year, something happened in the Kingdom of Ghosts..."

Sakura raised her index finger and slowly told her the information she had learned.

"Mysterious exotic monsters, forbidden power..."

After Sakura finished speaking, Naruto looked at the gloomy sky thoughtfully and murmured: "A person like Orochimaru shouldn't miss it."

"Sakura." Naruto looked at Sakura with a serious face and said in a deep voice: "Do you think we will encounter Orochimaru... and Sasuke on this mission?"

"I think it's very possible." Sakura nodded: "A person like him will really not miss such a forbidden thing, just like the last time Hinata and the others were in the Star Ninja Village."

In the last mission to the Star Ninja Village, Hinata and Kiba were seriously injured and passed out, but Shino saw Sasuke who suddenly appeared.

When he returned to Konoha, he reported all the details of the mission to Tsunade. After hearing the news, Team 7 also asked Shino many times about Sasuke's news.

From Shino's mouth, we learned that the purpose of Sasuke's sudden appearance was to obtain the power of the meteorite.

In the eyes of the two of them, this was naturally not Sasuke's intention, but Orochimaru's instigation!

"Yoshi!" Naruto straightened his face, clenched his fists, and hummed softly: "It's best for me to meet that guy Sasuke on this mission, and ask this bastard why he left Konoha without saying a word!"

"Um!"

Sakura responded softly, stood up suddenly, and walked to Kurama Yakumo, who had been writing something. She hesitated several times, as if she wanted to say something, but she was a little worried.

"Sakura, do you want to say something to me?"

Seeing this, Yakumo smiled and put the notebook in his hand back into his pocket.

Sakura was silent for a while and asked softly: "Yakumo, you have more contact with Sasuke-kun. Why do you think he turned to Orochimaru?"

"Sakura, haven't you already guessed it?" Yakumo asked with a smile,

Sakura shook her head, her face still serious: "I don't know if my guess is right. You know Sasuke better than me. In terms of knowledge of human emotions and psychology, I am not as good as you. I think if it is

If you say it, it should be okay..."

In this short one-month relationship, in addition to witnessing Yakumo's new teammate's powerful illusion skills, Sakura also deeply realized Yakumo's control over human emotions and psychology.

As a top student, Sakura is well-informed, but she only has some theoretical knowledge about psychology, spirituality and personality.

Only Yakumo in front of him has reached the level of an expert in the above.

Yakumo pondered for a while and then said: "It should be because of the power!"

really!

Hearing this, Sakura's face turned complex, revealing a hint of bitterness.

"If it's for strength, why go to Orochimaru? The village can do it, right?"

"Sakura, Sasuke-kun carries more and heavier things than all of us."

Yakumo said: "It's not that the village can't give him power, but perhaps this power is too slow compared to Orochimaru. Sasuke, who is carrying a heavy burden, is destined to take some extreme paths,"

Speaking of this, Yakumo's tone also showed a little melancholy.

Thinking of the dark personality I saw inside Sasuke a few years ago!

"I know..." Sakura sighed: "So, I have never blamed him, I just hate that I can't help him, and I am also worried that he is under Orochimaru. After all, Orochimaru just wants to

Get Sasuke's body..."

"Don't worry too much, Sakura, you can always trust Sasuke." Yakumo smiled slightly and comforted: "Sasuke-kun's wisdom, I believe that you, as a companion, should have a deep understanding of it. For people like Sasuke-kun, we can

How could he not think of the things he thought of?"

"As Sasuke-kun often says, this time Orochimaru is only standing on the second floor. Sasuke-kun may have already reached the fifth floor."

"Don't worry, Sasuke-kun has his own plan. Maybe it won't be long before we hear some good news."

Hearing this, Sakura breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely: "Thank you, Yakumo!"

Yakumo's eyes were smiling: "You don't have to thank me, Sakura. In fact, you can guess this with your wisdom. It's just that no matter how smart a person is, he will inevitably fall into confusion when thinking about the person he likes."

"Hey!?" Sakura's face instantly turned red and she waved her hand, subconsciously trying to deny it.

But thinking of the clairvoyant intelligence of the girl in front of him, he finally hummed in a low voice.

Seeing this, Yakumo smiled slightly. Every time the pink-haired girl mentioned Sasuke, her heartbeat would speed up and her breathing would increase.

He even subconsciously caressed his broken hair. Naturally, these small details could not be hidden from Yakumo, who is considered an expert in psychology.

'And Hinata Hinata next to her behaves so obviously. Only Naruto, a guy with a slow brain, can't see it, right?'

Yakumo secretly smiled in his heart, glanced at Hinata in the distance who peeked at Naruto from time to time, and then focused on Sakura in front of him.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Xiao Ying, actually I also have a psychological academic question to ask you."

As he spoke, Yakumo apologized again: "I'm sorry, this question may involve your privacy. Of course, it's okay if you don't answer, it's okay."

psychology?

The girl was a little confused, but she still smiled and said, "You can ask, Yakumo, it doesn't matter."

"Did you have a dual personality before?"

Dual personality is a serious psychological disorder. It means that a person has two relatively unique and mutually separated sub-personalities formed after experiencing some things, bad environment, or growing up. This is called dual personality.

If we say, what has Yakumo studied the most in psychology in recent years?

That must be spiritual personality!

After all, she once saw Sasuke's dark personality in Sasuke's inner world with her own eyes, and turned it into reality!

"Hey!?" Hearing this, Sakura was startled, her eyes widened, she subconsciously glanced around, lowered her voice, and whispered: "Yakumo, can you even see this?"

"Sorry, it's a professional habit. I'm sorry if I offended you in any way." Yakumo apologized sincerely.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Sakura waved her hands quickly.

"There's nothing offensive about it."

After a moment of silence, Sakura said: "I do have a dual personality. I call her Sakura, the brave Sakura."

As she spoke, Sakura's eyes seemed to be lost in memories, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"I can't remember exactly when Li Ying appeared. I just remember that she appeared when I was very young."

"At that time, I was introverted and cowardly, and I was always laughed at and bullied for my broad forehead. She was just the opposite. Although she had a bad temper and was impulsive and arrogant, she was stronger and braver than I was at that time!"

"At that time, she had been protecting me, who was weak, and not letting me be bullied by others..."

Speaking of this, Sakura sighed, smiled bitterly, and sounded melancholy.

"But over the years, Sakura appeared in my mind less and less frequently. After Sasuke-kun left, she never appeared once. It was as if her existence disappeared along with Sasuke."

Hearing this, Yakumo thought for a while, and a warm smile suddenly bloomed on his face.

"Sakura, she did not disappear, but merged with you."

"Fusion?" Sakura murmured in confusion, and heard Yakumo continue: "Have you felt the gradual increase in your spiritual energy during this time?"

"Um!"

Sakura nodded.

"That's because your second personality started to merge. You probably don't know. In fact, I also had a second personality when I was a child. It's not entirely correct to say that it was a second personality. I can only say that it was for traveling. Later, because of some things, this second personality

The two personalities merged with mine."

"During that period, my mental energy and chakra control ability increased a lot."

Kurama Yakumo didn't talk about the specific situation of her second personality, but only talked about the increase in spiritual energy. Sakura didn't ask in detail and just nodded.

"When you were little, Sakura, because you were introverted and bullied, you imagined a strong and brave person to protect you."

"This person is her—Li Ying!"

"As you grow up and become stronger, Sakura, you no longer need anyone to protect you all the time, so she appears less and less."

"Because you have become strong, Sakura!" Yakumo said with a smile: "After Sasuke-kun left, as a companion, you were worried about him and wanted to protect him, and you understood the meaning of protection."

"At this time, Sakura will no longer appear, because she has become one with you, and you no longer need to rely on anyone to protect you. You have become an independent and strong girl!"

"Congratulations, Sakura!"

"Is that so..." Sakura's eyes suddenly revealed, and she was smart enough to quickly understand Yakumo's words.

The frequency of Sakura's appearances began to decrease, which was when she was training under Kosuke Maruhoshi and began to follow her master's teachings to protect her will.

Sakura's complete disappearance coincided with the mysterious disappearance of Sasuke, and Sakura was determined to find Sasuke.

Thinking of this, Sakura let out a long sigh of relief and showed a bright smile: "Thank you, Yakumo!"

Originally, Sakura had always been extremely melancholy because of Sakura's disappearance.

After all, Riying has been her protector and confidant for so many years.

Li Ying's sudden disappearance left her unable to find anyone to confide in, and she felt empty in her heart.

After hearing what Yakumo said today, Sakura felt relieved, and the haze in her heart was swept away.
