Traveling through Naruto: I am Haruno Sakura

Chapter 289: Shinobi Group (9)

As the temperature rose, Sakura arranged the fish one by one, then took out the rice balls and bamboo tubes filled with water that she had brought earlier and put them on the grill to heat them. After doing all this, Sakura looked at the group of giggling children, and looked in the direction where Naruto and the others left.

I don't know if everything is going well...

The stream flows quietly, and the fish makes a sizzling sound while being roasted over the firewood. The fat on the fish drips drop by drop as the temperature rises.

Sakura also hurriedly turned the fish over one by one to ensure that they were heated evenly.

The tempting aroma also made the children who were playing around sit aside obediently and stare closely at the golden grilled fish.

One of the younger children rubbed his rumbling stomach and shyly walked over to Sakura, "Can I eat?"

After all, these children had come here from a long distance, and they probably only ate fast food like bread, and they didn’t even have a hot meal.

Xiaoying looked at the grilled fish and said softly, "It will take a while for the fish. Why don't you eat some rice balls first?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other children came forward, each holding a steaming rice ball and blowing on it continuously.

"So hot, so hot!"

“It’s really hot!”

“Huff, huff, huff…”

The firelight reflected on the children's faces. Their satisfied smiles made Xiaoying feel distressed. She handed each child a cup of hot water and said, "Eat slowly. Don't choke..."

The grilled fish were distributed to the children one by one. Sakura also took one, jumped onto a branch, looked in the direction of the flickering fire, and fell into deep thought.

But now we still have to settle the children first.

After fixing the tent in place, I told the children to go to bed.

"Sister... Brother Mingxiong..."

"When will Marutetsu and the others come back?"

Sakura patted one of the children's head and said, "Just sleep well, and they will be back when you wake up."

Watching the children go into the tent, Sakura leaned against the tree.

When the sun was about to rise, they sensed the presence of Naruto and the others, and when they arrived, the group of children swarmed over to Marutetsu who was holding Akio.

"Brother Mingxiong!"

"Brother Mingxiong is back!"

"It's Brother Mingxiong!"

"Are you okay? Brother Mingxiong?"

"Oh no, you're hurt!"

Listening to the child's chattering, Mingxiong lay on Marutetsu's back, "It's okay, just a minor injury."

Naruto looked at Sakura and gave her a thumbs up, "Sakura, please help him take care of his wound."

Sakura nodded. Seeing that they were all dirty, she knew that they had also experienced a fierce battle. "Leave it to me."

Marutetsu then slowly put Mingxiong on the ground, "Please."

The children who were gathered together also made way for Sakura.

Sakura looked at Mingxiong's wounds, which were not serious. They were just superficial injuries and were much easier to deal with.

Putting down Akio's Marutetsu, he walked over to Todoroki and said, "I'm sorry to bother you. Please take me to the capital."

There was silence between the two for a while before Hong said, "I still can't forgive you, but it's an indisputable fact that you saved Mingxiong."

At this point, Todoroki turned around and said, "All of the fubazu have been destroyed, and the escorting Marutetsu was also caught in the battle and died."

Hearing this, Mingxiong also looked at Hong, "Brother..."

And those children were cheering one by one, "That's great!"

Sakura also had the foresight to make room for Mingxiong and Hong.

Todoroki walked up to Akio and knelt on one knee, "You want to stay here, right? You want to stay with Marutetsu and these kids, right?"

Seeing Mingxiong looking troubled with his head down, Hong said calmly, "I am a useless brother, but you are an indispensable brother to those children."

Mingxiong stared blankly at Hong and the wooden fish Hong took out, and couldn't help asking, "What is it?"

Todoroki said gently, "It's the gift I didn't have time to give you at that time." Then he looked at the others and said, "Let's go, ninjas!"

As the children said goodbye, they set out on their journey back home.

There’s just one bad thing. Without Marutetsu leading the way, how are we supposed to get out of this forest?

Harmful... ...
