“Er, alright, Sakura really cares about me.” Kakashi naively thought that the girl didn’t want him to use the Sharingan too frequently; after all, his body felt super drained every time he used it.
“Kakashi-sensei, I think Sakura is right.
This Kiba suits you well; it’s super cool.” Naruto looked at Kiba with glowing eyes; he wanted to own it too, but alas, the boy didn’t know Lightning Release.
“Alright, then thank you for your kindness, Sakura.
Sensei will accept it.” Kakashi smiled and ruffled Sakura’s hair, then strapped the twin blades of Kiba onto his back.
The girl expressed strong resistance with dead fish eyes: “…” “Oh!
Right, there’s also this!” Kakashi remembered the large sword belonging to Zabuza, so he pulled a summoning scroll from his ninja pouch.
The man formed hand seals with his fingertips, and with a “poof,” a thick, silver broadsword appeared before everyone.
“How about we take this kubikiribocho to the Konoha Ninja Tool Shop and pawn it?
I bet it can fetch a good amount of money.” Sakura said with a mischievous smile.
Neither Naruto, Sasuke, nor Sakura excelled in swordsmanship, so the kubikiribocho was of little use to them.
“I agree with Sakura’s opinion too.” Naruto raised both hands in agreement; with this money, he could probably buy a month’s worth of instant ramen and Naruto rolls.
Sasuke, standing by, also silently signified his agreement.
“Alright, then I’ll leave it to Sakura.
You all can handle it yourselves.” Kakashi said, summoning the kubikiribocho back into the scroll and handing it to Sakura.
“Alright, let’s go, Konoha Village!!” Meanwhile, inside the Hokage office building, Hiruzen Sarutobi watched the four of them in his crystal ball, his eyes showing great interest.
Originally, he only cared about the Crown Prince and Sasuke Uchiha of Team 7, but he never expected that the pink-haired girl named Sakura Haruno would be unexpectedly formidable.
She killed one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Kiba, by herself; that was a powerful Elite Jonin.
Hiruzen Sarutobi flipped through the files on Sakura Haruno in his hand; the girl had no family background or Bloodline Limit, and even more incredible was that her parents were just ordinary civilians.
Her extremely exquisite Chakra control ability reminded the Third of one of his own female disciples.
She also had extremely high attainments in controlling Chakra.
It was just a pity that he didn’t know where that female disciple was now.
The Third hoped to cultivate a Kage-level powerhouse like the Yellow Flash as soon as possible, and this girl named Sakura seemed like a suitable candidate.
It was just that the Third’s current stamina and energy were not enough to support him in personally teaching Sakura Haruno.
If that female ninja were still around, it would be possible.
Thinking of this, the Third immediately beckoned.
Two Anbu hidden on the roof flashed into the office: “Hokage-sama, do you have any orders?” “Assemble a small Anbu squad and immediately go outside the Land of Fire to find Tsunade’s whereabouts.
No matter what, instruct her to come to Konoha; tell her I have an urgent matter to ask for her help.” “Yes, Hokage-sama!!” Upon receiving the order, the Anbu disappeared immediately.
“I haven’t seen you in a month, Konoha, I’ve missed you so much!” Naruto stood atop the towering Konoha gate, stretched an exaggerated yawn, and breathed in the fresh air of Konoha freely.
“Sakura, are you going home later?” Sasuke looked up at Sakura; he wanted to ask Sakura for the secret to controlling Chakra.
Recently, the dark-haired boy seemed to be learning Lightning Release from Kakashi, and he was still a bit slow in terms of Chakra control.
“Me?
I’m planning to go pawn the kubikiribocho first, get some money, and then go have a big meal.
Do you want to come along, Sasuke?” Sakura felt that after spending time together recently, Sasuke didn’t seem as gloomy as before.
Perhaps Naruto’s carefree personality had influenced him.
“Hey!
Are you guys trying to eat alone?
I want to go with Sakura-chan too!!” Naruto jumped down from the gate and sidled up to Sakura in a sycophantic manner.
“Fine, let’s go together then.” Sakura shrugged; these days she had gotten used to the Crown Prince’s personality.
As long as it wasn’t too excessive, the girl could tolerate it.
“Sensei, do you want to join us?” Sakura looked up at Kakashi nearby.
“I won’t go.
I still need to report the situation of this mission to the Hokage-sama, and besides…” The silver-haired man paused, a glint flashing in his eyes: “I still have to collect the bounty!
We took out two of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist on this mission, so there should be quite a bit!” Kakashi’s tone was full of pride.
“Sensei isn’t planning to keep the bounty for yourself, are you!” Sakura looked at Kakashi with dead fish eyes.
“Hahaha, how could that be!
I’ll split it with you guys when the time comes, don’t worry…” All four were amused by Sakura.
Konoha Ninja Tool Shop.
“Is anyone here?” Sakura asked, carrying the kubikiribocho in her hand.
“Is the owner not here?” Naruto poked his head forward and leaned over the counter, looking left and right.
“Hey, that’s not good, Naruto.
Don’t go in when the owner isn’t here.” Sasuke said, watching Naruto, who was about to walk into the shop.
“Coming, coming.
Sorry, I was just cooking in the backyard.” A Chinese-style girl with a bun hairstyle walked out from inside.
Isn’t this the ninja tool master, Tenten?
“What kind of ninja tools would you like?
We have Shuriken, Kunai, nunchucks, meteor hammers, Fuma Shuriken…” Tenten introduced the ninja tools in the shop earnestly, looking exactly like a little business owner.
“We are here to pawn something, specifically this kubikiribocho.” Sakura said, placing the large sword from her back onto the counter.
Tenten’s black eyes widened instantly; having dealt with ninja tools for years, she naturally had heard of the reputation of the kubikiribocho: “This is?
The legendary kubikiribocho used by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?” After speaking, the girl didn’t forget to touch the heavy hilt with her hand.
The texture, it was unmistakable.
“That’s right.
Just tell us, how much can this be pawned for?” Naruto couldn’t wait to have a big meal.
“This belongs to S-rank ninja tools, it’s worth about…
3,000,000 ryo.” Tenten took a deep breath; she found it hard to believe.
How could this ninja sword be in the hands of three Genin?
If she remembered correctly, these three kids were a grade lower than her.
She had seen them at the Ninja Academy, but they weren’t very familiar.
“3,000,000 ryo!!!” Naruto looked shocked.
How many years worth of Ichiraku Ramen would that be!
“Alright, deal.” Sakura agreed without even thinking; Tenten’s innocent and cute appearance didn’t look like someone who would lie.
“Wait a moment, I’ll go upstairs to get the money for you.” Tenten put the large sword into a summoning scroll and turned to go upstairs.
A minute later, the girl walked downstairs carrying a super-large bag.
“We’re rich, we’re rich!” Naruto repeated, having never seen such wealth, listening to the clinking sound of money in the bag.
“Here, take it.
Keep it safe, okay?
I won’t be responsible if you lose it,” Tenten instructed.
Sakura took the money; it was really heavy!
However, at the thought of so much money, the girl couldn’t help but feel excited.
She could buy a dress for Mebuki Haruno, a suit for her father, and redecorate the house inside and out, and finally buy herself a bathtub.
That way she could take a bath every day.
The shower head at home was really too old; every time she took a bath, it was like being in ice and fire.
Everything had to be replaced!!
The more Sakura thought about it, the more she looked forward to it.
After the three of them got the money, they happily ran to the barbecue restaurant on the street to have a big meal.
They had been scrimping and saving in the Land of Waves during this time, and all of them had lost weight…
