Son of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha

In the following days, Sakura endured Tsunade's beatings while learning knowledge every day.

But Sakura gritted her teeth and didn't give up. She wanted to become stronger, she wanted to become stronger from the bottom of her heart.

One night, Naruto secretly knocked on Sakura's door, looked at the tired Sakura and said, "Let's talk?"

Sakura nodded and let Naruto into the room, and the two sat opposite each other at the table.

Naruto didn't show any concern at all, so he poured himself a cup of tea and asked: "Brother Ying, do you regret it?"

Sakura shook her head and replied: "This is an opportunity that you helped me get with great difficulty. I won't give up easily."

"For Sasuke?" Naruto immediately thought of this reason.

Sakura hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Maybe it was at first, but not now."

Naruto was shocked and asked: "You don't like Sasuke anymore?"

"How is that possible?" Sakura denied.

Naruto looked at her doubtfully and asked, "Then why do you say that?"

"I just figured out something recently." Sakura did have a little desire to talk.

Naruto poured her a cup of tea and sat upright, looking very much like the hero in a costume drama asking an adviser for advice: "I'd like to hear the details."

Sakura had long been used to Naruto's convulsions from time to time and said, "Actually, when I just graduated from school, I didn't have any goals. My only dream was Sasuke."

Sakura showed a look of recollection: "Sasuke is handsome, confident, strong, and such an outstanding person..."

Naruto put down the tea cup and interrupted: "Brother, I'm not here to listen to you bragging about him."

Sakura smiled: "Okay, okay, in short, I have always admired him, but I have never really understood him. Maybe I am just a familiar person to him? Maybe in his heart

, a sneeze from you would worry him more than me being stabbed."

I'm not, I haven't, don't talk nonsense! We have pure friendship and brotherhood!

Grotting in his heart, Naruto probably understood what Sakura was thinking. A certain captain of Soul Society's fifth division once said: "Longing is the emotion furthest from understanding." Although it is not ruled out that he had some thoughts when he said this.

It's suspected of being fake, but it's quite appropriate to put it here with Sakura.

She felt towards Sasuke like a fanatic fan towards an idol, and then for some reason it developed into love. After that, she also suffered enough from the pain of love. Who told her to fall in love with a man who would not come home?

Sakura slightly raised her head and looked at the ceiling, and continued: "I am like a cherry blossom petal that has just escaped from the branch. When I see a tree I like, I desperately want to float to it. I have never considered whether it is...

If you like me, do you need me, I don’t even know if I have the ability to float over."

Ah, Brother Sakura, if you are so profound all of a sudden, I will look very naive. I just meet someone I like and get close to her. It happens that she also likes me and we get together. Naruto took a sip of tea to cover up his embarrassment.

"I've been completely outclassed by Hinata in this aspect."

Hmm? And what about Hinata?

Sakura said enviously: "Hinata has always had her own goals, and she worked very hard to become stronger. To be honest, during the chunin exam, I was completely amazed by Hinata. If I were a man

If I have a child, I will also like her, that gentle, beautiful, strong and hard-working girl."

I loved hearing this, but hearing Sakura's disappointed tone, Naruto wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he heard Sakura continue:

"But now I have a new goal."

Sakura's tone became excited again: "I want to become a powerful ninja like Teacher Tsunade. I don't want to be a cherry blossom petal blowing in the wind anymore. I want to grow into a real cherry blossom tree!"

If one day Sasuke is willing to stand side by side with me, I hope it will not be because of my persistence, not because he is moved by me, but because I am worth it!

I am first a powerful Konoha ninja Haruno Sakura, and then a girl who likes Sasuke!"

At this moment, Sakura seemed to be radiant.

Naruto was shocked by her. If a girl like this is not cherished, she will be punished by God. So Naruto turned to look in the direction of the door and said, "So Sasuke, do you understand?"

…

The air was quiet for three seconds.

"Huh?" Sakura's expression froze, like a machine that had been forgotten to oil. She turned her head to look at the door one after another, and found that the door was not open at all.

Sakura was stunned for a moment, then turned back to glare at Naruto who was snickering.

There is murderous intent!

"Haha..." Naruto laughed awkwardly and scratched the back of his head, "Well, I just think it's too serious. Let's lighten the atmosphere..."

Bang! The table was smashed into pieces, tea was spilled on the floor, a vein popped out on Sakura's forehead, and she shouted in a low voice: "Naruto!"

Naruto rushed to the door and opened it. He hid outside the door and asked, "It's not that bad, Brother Ying, when did you learn the strange power?"

"Teacher has been talking about some techniques these days." Sakura clenched her fists and said maliciously, "Would you like to practice with me?"

"No, no, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." Naruto said that he was not Jiraiya and didn't have that hobby.

Three seconds later, Naruto poked his head out again, looked at Sakura who was about to clean up the room, and said, "Um, Brother Sakura, there's something we need to agree on first. You broke the table, and you have to pay for it yourself."

"Uzumaki! Uzumaki! Naruto!" The table shattered even more completely, and Sakura chased it to the door.

This time Naruto really ran away. Sakura clenched her fists and gritted her teeth: "This guy, how on earth did Sasuke endure him for so many years without beating him to death?!"

[Sasuke: Maybe it’s because he can’t beat him? 】

Sakura turned around and went back to clean up the room. After pouring out her innermost thoughts and venting her anger, the grievances of being beaten these days were relieved a lot.

Thinking about Naruto coming to chat with her specially and then deliberately acting weird, Sakura unclenched her fists and laughed: "It's pretty good too."

…

As time passed, Jiraiya's injuries were almost healed. Sakura trained harder than ever these days, and the number of times she was injured by Tsunade became less and less.

Tsunade was very satisfied with this disciple and felt that she was more suitable to inherit her ninjutsu than Shizune. After a while, when she had more knowledge, she might consider teaching her the Yin Seal.

When Jiraiya saw Sakura smashing a half-human-high stone into pieces with one punch, and her long golden hair flying in front of his eyes, he seemed to see Tsunade in her youth.

Wait, blonde? Doesn’t that little girl have pink hair?

Jiraiya turned his head and saw Naruto using the Lion Hair Technique to lengthen his hair and divide it into nine strands, making him look like Kushina.

Naruto happily played with the ninjutsu he had just learned, and showed off to Jiraiya: "Hahaha, lustful sage, do you think I can practice the Nine-Sword Style, Asura, and Ichigigin like this?"
