Naruto: Becoming Stronger from Illusion

When Sasuke saw Sakura Haruno getting so close, his ears suddenly turned red and his heart couldn't bear it.

He stood up in a panic, "No need."

Sakura Haruno couldn't tease him anymore, so she straightened her face, "Okay, let's talk business!"

"You should also know that Naruto and Jiraiya have left the village."

"But in addition to training, they have another mission, which is to find and bring back Tsunade-sama, one of the three ninjas."

"I guess the village should let Tsunade-sama serve as the fifth generation Hokage, but the news has not been announced yet."

Sasuke's voice was a little low, "Really? Naruto has started to go out for training again."

He suddenly changed and said, "I'm going to be discharged from the hospital today and find Kakashi to take me to practice. Sakura, do you want to go with me?"

It seems that Naruto's growing strength has indeed made him feel a great sense of urgency.

But Sakura Haruno remembered that her own affairs had not been resolved, so she refused directly.

"I won't go today. I'll come find you later. You should still be training in the same place, right?"

Seeing Sasuke nod, Haruno Sakura stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go back first."

After saying goodbye to Sasuke, Haruno Sakura walked on the way home.

Noticing the little mouse following behind her, she turned into a secluded corner and stood there waiting for them to show up.

There were two people, both wearing animal masks unique to the Root.

The long-haired man among the two said, "Haruno Sakura, Danzo is still waiting for your reply to the matter I asked you to consider before!"

Haruno Sakura felt a little impatient.

She really couldn't understand why Danzo came to her a few days ago and tried to invite her to join the Root with threats and inducements.

She replied irritably, "I remember I said before that I would not join the Root, please don't bother me again!"

No matter how much Danzo praised the greatness of the Root, she would never jump into this fire pit.

That was not a place for people to stay at all.

Besides, it is not a good place to be with this troublemaker Danzo as the leader.

The big guy next to the long-haired man saw that Haruno Sakura was so ungrateful and seemed to want to rush over to teach her a lesson.

"You dare to refuse Lord Danzo, you are really tired of living!"

But he was stopped by the long-haired man, "Stop, we should go back and report."

They were deadlocked for a while, the big guy looked at Haruno Sakura hatefully, and finally followed the man away.

Haruno Sakura looked at the direction they left, frowning.

It seems that the days to come will not be peaceful, she does not believe that Danzo is such a person who gives up so easily.

The long-haired man and the big guy who left jumped a few times and came to a secluded courtyard.

At this time, Danzo was standing in the corridor in the courtyard.

The two came to Danzo and knelt on one knee.

The long-haired man said, "Danzo, Sakura Haruno didn't agree."

Danzo snorted coldly, "That's not surprising."

The long-haired man asked, "What should we do next? Should we give up Sakura Haruno?"

Danzo thought for a moment before saying, "Her ability to control the tailed beasts has a great effect on our Root."

"But how to pull her into the Root still needs to be planned carefully. Wait first, there will be a chance!"

Sakura Haruno always thought that the hidden Anbu members around her were sent by the Sandaime to monitor Naruto and Sasuke.

But in fact, Danzo noticed her a long time ago and paid some attention to her.

When his people found that she could actually control Shukaku, Danzo had the idea of ​​pulling her into the Root for his use.

Now that the Sandaime Hokage is dead, Danzo took this opportunity to come back and start making trouble again.

Not only did he rebuild the Root, he also wanted to become the Fifth Hokage.

However, he learned that the Konoha high-level officials had decided to bring back Tsunade to succeed the position of Hokage.

And Jiraiya was already on his way to find Tsunade.

Danzo was so angry that he gnashed his teeth.

At this time, Konohagakure and Sand Village were negotiating, so he secretly reached a deal with Sand Village.

He wanted to use Sand Village to get rid of Tsunade.

Originally, Sand Village was the party at fault in the attack on Konoha.

And the three children of the Fourth Kazekage were still in Konoha Village as captives, and there was a Jinchūriki among them.

It can be said that Sand Village was completely passive, and Konoha could let them bleed heavily.

However, after Danzo's secret operation, the result was shocking.

Sand Village only paid a painless compensation. Even if this matter was not discussed, Konoha had to return Gaara and the other two.

It must be said that Danzo was really a troublemaker, and he really did everything he could to get the position of Hokage.

However, Haruno Sakura did not know these secrets.Although she was a little worried that Danzo would do something stupid to force her to surrender.

But she also knew that worrying was useless, and she could only deal with it as it happened.

In the following days, the village was still recuperating after this heavy blow.

But in order not to show weakness to other ninja villages, the mission had to continue.

Because some ninjas were sacrificed in this attack, the mission did not decrease, resulting in heavy tasks for the ninjas in the village.

Even teams like Murano Sakura and Sasuke, who were missing a teammate, were often called to help.

Doing some trivial things like repairing houses and cleaning ruins.

This made them a little envious of Naruto, who could practice and find people after leaving the village.

However, she was puzzled that Danzo did not come to trouble her during this period.

Did Danzo really give up on her?

The days passed in such a peaceful manner.

Haruno Meibuki has been a little uneasy recently. Haruno Zhao's mission period has passed, but he has not returned yet.

She was a little worried, but in order to prevent Haruno Sakura from worrying, she didn't dare to show it in front of Haruno Sakura.

As time went on, Haruno Meibuki couldn't sit still.

So she ran to the mission management office to ask.

As a result, she was told that Haruno Zhao and their mission team had lost contact.

The receptionist comforted her and asked her to go home and wait for news.

She immediately had a bad premonition and waited at home for two days with a nervous mood, but there was no news.

That day, Haruno Sakura returned home and found that the house was dark. She thought Haruno Meibuki had gone out.

But when she turned on the light, she found Haruno Meibuki sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Haruno Sakura was very surprised. Seeing that her expression was wrong, she immediately felt nervous.

"Mom, what's wrong? What happened?"

Haruno Meibuki forced a smile that was uglier than crying, "Sakura is back!"

Then she put away her smile with a tired face, and her voice was a little choked.

"There is something I must tell you. Your father's team has returned, but only one person escaped."

"It is said that there was an accident during the mission. The rest of the people, including your father, have disappeared and are now missing."

Haruno Sakura was struck by lightning, with an unbelievable look on her face, and she was a little panicked for a moment.

"What, didn't you say it was just an exploratory mission? How could it be?"
