Traveling through Naruto: I am Haruno Sakura

Chapter 275: It's Actually a Treasure Hunt

At this time in Shadow Rock, Xuanneng looked at Naruto in front of him and began to narrate the previous history.

"In the past, there was a village called Yangyan Village in the Mountain Country. That's where I was born and raised. It's normal that you haven't heard of it. After all, the village had disappeared completely at that time, so there is no record of it."

"Thirty years ago, Kagero Village and Konoha Village were at war with each other. The battle was originally in a stalemate, but Konoha took advantage of the absence of Kagero Village's main force and launched a surprise attack on us, which was successful. The situation suddenly tilted towards Konoha, and the armistice agreement was signed only three months later."

"The key is that during these three months, Kagero Village must have considered counterattacks before accepting the ceasefire. My mission at the time was to sneak into Konoha and plant detonating tags throughout the village. When I detonated the detonating tags, the main force of Kagero Village would attack Konoha Village and cause a devastating blow. That was the original plan."

"I participated in construction work everywhere and arranged detonating tags. At that time, the Anbu in Konoha Village was not as strong as it is now, so it was much easier for me to move. After two and a half months, I had basically completed all the arrangements and was just waiting for the friendly forces to attack."

"But I didn't get to wait. The village chief who advocated fighting to the end died unexpectedly, and his successor advocated signing a ceasefire agreement with Konoha. I was planning to return to Konoha soon, and I thought the ceasefire was only temporary. Then Kagero Village never gave me any more missions."

"That is, two weeks after the truce, Kagero Village was attacked by the Tanininja Village and was destroyed. They took advantage of the situation when they had just finished fighting Konoha and were severely weakened."

Naruto was very confused, "Then why are you back to Konoha to cause trouble now? Grandpa, you placed the detonating tags just because of the mission, right? The Kagero Village has disappeared, so your reason for destroying Konoha should have disappeared too? Could it be that... someone else has commissioned you to destroy Konoha?"

"Don't worry, I haven't received any commission or order from anyone. So what can I say? I just think this is too wasteful... I'm old now, and it won't be surprising if I die. If I die like this, my arrangements will be unknown to the public and buried in the darkness. So why not make good use of them before I die?"

"You want to kill everyone in the village just for this reason... I don't believe it! Then why did you treat me to ramen?..."

"Just to find out the current situation of Konoha."

"I won't let you succeed. My companions are now working hard to tear off all the detonating tags to prevent you from detonating!"

"Hahaha, that was really hard work, but who said anything about detonating the detonating talisman?"

"What did you say? Grandpa, didn't you just say that before you die..."

"I'm talking about making good use of it. You're so naive, you little brat."

"what?"

"There are ways to make full use of it without exploding, and a ninja needs to calculate the second and third steps and make multiple preparations. You have to remember this."

"Is the detonating talisman in the village just a cover?"

"Do you know what the geology of Shadow Rock is?"

Sakura smiled and walked in from a nearby tunnel. "To be precise, the geology of the platform that carved Shadow Rock is that this mountain is made of extremely hard rocks, but there are also many very small cracks distributed on these rocks. If you use these cracks to apply force, it can be easily shattered."

When Naruto saw Sakura, he was unusually excited, "Sakura! You're here!!"

Sakura walked up to Genno's side and said, "If I hadn't checked the detonating tags here, I might have thought you were a pure villain."

"What do you mean, little girl?"

In the face of Xuan Neng's question, Xiaoying did not answer, but just talked about her own discovery, "Although there are many detonating tags here, there are actually some incomplete detonating tags and some detonating tags that will not explode at all."

Then he looked at the old man with a complicated expression, "As a master of mechanical devices, why would such a mistake occur? Perhaps my guess is not necessarily accurate. Grandpa wanted to play a treasure hunt game and relive the treasure hunt game with Naruto, who looks so much like his son when he was a child."

After hearing what Sakura said, Naruto recalled the photo that Genneng had shown him. The person in the photo did look very much like him, and he had also mentioned that the game they played most often before was treasure hunting. Then he looked at Genneng, "Is that so? Grandpa..."

"You are really perceptive, little girl. No wonder that child likes you." Xuan Neng did not expect that everything he had done would be discovered so soon. There was a hint of trance in his eyes. If his son had not died, perhaps he would have found such a smart and gentle girl in the end to start a family and build a career?

"If you came to Konoha to avenge your son who died in battle, you didn't expect to meet Naruto who looks so much like your son this time? And your body is... almost at the point of exhaustion."

After spending a few months together, Naruto really treated Genno as his grandfather, because he was the best person to him since the third generation. He quickly ran to Genno's side, "What? Grandpa..."

Xuan Neng touched Naruto's head, and his cloudy eyes had a different color when he looked at the sunlight outside. "Did my words just now hurt you? Actually, that's true. Those were my initial thoughts, but after I met you..."

Naruto was crying so hard that his nose was running. He helped Xuan Neng to sit aside, "Grandpa... I'll go find Granny Tsunade. She will definitely heal you!"

Genno placed his scarred and calloused hands on Naruto's shoulders, "I know my body... It's old and useless. It's time for it to end."

At this time, other people also rushed here, and they were a little overwhelmed by seeing such a scene.

Shikamaru did say something, "Didn't you realize that no one in Konoha was actually injured? Even if Sakura and the others discovered it early, if it was someone who really intended to take revenge, would they continue to allow their plans to be ruined?"

Everyone gave Naruto and Gennoshi some final time alone, so perhaps it was a safe bet?

Even ninjas will age and die like ordinary people when they reach a certain age...
