Chapter 255 A blessing in disguise
But before Naruto could finish, someone knocked on the door of the ward. Sakura looked towards the door and said, "Come in."
Then I saw the familiar face of Lady Tsunade...
Sakura was a little nervous, but under the circumstances at the time, she really hadn't thought it through...
After Tsunade asked Naruto to leave, she sat down in front of Sakura's bed and said in a rare serious tone, "Although this incident is not your team's fault and you can't be blamed, you also know what I want to say."
"Ah."
Tsunade looked at the person in front of her and couldn't help but sigh, "Every time you use the boundary, although it will activate your body functions, but considering your current physical condition, it is a burden to you, so from now on I will completely stop all your tasks."
Although she had guessed this possibility, Sakura couldn't help but stiffen when she heard it, but she still nodded.
Then Tsunade said, "From now on, I will train you in Taijutsu and Medical Ninjutsu. Before you become a master, you will not be able to take on any other tasks."
Many emotions flashed through Sakura's eyes. In the end, she said sincerely, "Thank you, Lady Tsunade!" The opportunity to be taught personally by Lady Tsunade... was truly unexpected.
Tsunade looked at Sakura with relief, "Now take a good rest. After you have rested well, we will start training tomorrow."
If Tsunade returned to Konoha to inherit the Hokage position at the beginning because she saw the image of her younger brother in Naruto, and now after staying in Konoha for a while, she found that every child here has different feelings for the village. These children are just like what the third generation said, as long as there are dancing leaves, there will be fire burning, and the fire will illuminate the village, and then new leaves will sprout again... ...
Let yourself see how far these sprouts of Konoha will grow...

Sakura looked out the window, but got out of bed and opened it, enjoying the feeling of the breeze on her face. There was a knock on the door, and Sakura said casually, "Come in."
"I can't tell from the patient's appearance, but it doesn't look that serious."
"Shikamaru? Aren't you guys on a mission..." Upon hearing the familiar voice, Sakura turned around and looked at Shikamaru in surprise. If she remembered correctly, she should be on a mission, right? After all, the mission schedule has been very full recently, and basically one mission is completed and then another one is taken up.
"Ah, I don't have any other tasks at hand for the time being. I heard from the Godaime that you were in the hospital, so I came to see you." Shikamaru lied without blushing. When he heard that Sakura was seriously injured and returned to the village for treatment, it was the first time that he completed a task so quickly. As soon as he came back and submitted the task, he hurried to the ward.
But one thing is true, the Fifth Hokage did not give himself a single mission, and the team mission was temporarily handed over to Shikamaru and the others, and there is indeed no other task on hand now.
"Is that so? That's really rare. If I hadn't been in the hospital this time, I wouldn't have stopped to rest." Sakura leaned against the window, casually tucked her scattered hair behind her ears, and looked at Shikamaru with a smile.
... ...Is she really so beautiful that she doesn't realize it, or is it really her failure? Shikamaru took a clean coat and put it on Sakura, "Relax in the breeze, you really know how to enjoy it, but don't catch a cold."
Looking at Shikamaru approaching, Sakura turned her face to the side, but the redness spreading on her ears betrayed her mood at the moment. However, she still said, "Sure enough, Shikamaru has become an old woman too."
Shikamaru looked at the red ears and said stubbornly, "If you knew how to take care of yourself, I wouldn't have to become a nanny and be hated by others."
"That's not what I meant..." When Sakura turned around, Shikamaru quickly put his coat on Sakura, but the distance between them became especially close at this time.
This was the first time Sakura had such close contact with Shikamaru. She didn't know what kind of shower gel Shikamaru used, but the faint fragrance was... quite nice, but the distance was too close... But was it because she hadn't seen Shikamaru for too long? Why did he seem to have grown a lot taller?
Shikamaru lowered his head and looked at Sakura who was at his chin, and couldn't help laughing.
"What do you mean? Isn't it just about growing taller? It's not like I won't grow taller..." This laughter also made Sakura suddenly wake up from Shikamaru's gentle arms. Just kidding, girls only have a few sensitive points.
"I know, I know." Shikamaru nodded lazily. If that hand hadn't touched Sakura's head, Sakura would have thought that he was sincerely repentant!
"You!" Just when Sakura was about to go berserk, she heard a sound coming from outside the door.
"Excuse me... Sorry to bother you!!!" After hearing about Sakura's ward, Beidou also planned to visit this gentle sister. The door of the ward happened to be open, but he did not expect to see this scene.
"?"
"?"
Sakura's first reaction was, "You didn't close the door?"
Shikamaru's first reaction was who is she?
But because of Beidou's interruption, the two of them coughed and separated. Shikamaru was the first to break the awkwardness between the two, "Who was that just now?"
Because of this question, Sakura temporarily forgot about the embarrassment, "That child is from the Hoshigakure Ninja Village, his name is Beidou."
"The Hoshigakure Ninja Village? It's the ninja village that's rumored to have a [star], right? I remember your mission this time is to protect the [star], right?" Shikamaru had also heard of the Hoshigakure Ninja Village. It was rumored that the people in the village practiced different ninjutsu.
"Well, actually, although the energy released by that [Star] can promote the change of chakra, it is extremely harmful to the body. It's just that the person who issued this mission, the village chief Akaboshi, is the culprit who assassinated the third-generation Hoshikage, so the mission is invalid. But it's a good thing that the mission is invalid, after all, Naruto smashed the [Star] to pieces in the end... ...those children came to Konoha for treatment." When Sakura mentioned this mission, she felt that it was a good thing that the Hoshigakure Ninja Village did not pursue it, otherwise they would be in trouble.
Shikamaru also thought of this. He has been busy with the Godaime's gambling debts recently. "Indeed, after all, everyone is working so hard on the mission because they are short of money. If the Godaime has to pay for it, I'm afraid there will be trouble again. So... what are your plans for the future?"
Sakura also told Shikamaru truthfully, "I will stop all missions after this, because Lady Tsunade wants to teach me Taijutsu and medical ninjutsu in person!"
Shikamaru understood the Godaime's intention, but Sakura's body... "You will have a hard time then..."
Sakura smiled, "I know, what kind of training isn't hard? Don't worry about it."
Shikamaru sighed. Was he really unaware or was he just pretending? Although the former was more likely, never mind. Since he had waited for so many years, he didn't mind waiting for a while longer. "Got it. I'm leaving now."
"Yeah!" Sakura seemed very excited as she watched Shikamaru leave. She wondered what Lady Tsunade would teach her tomorrow?
