Chapter 247 Encounter with the Boy Named After Star (1)
After submitting the task, there were no other tasks to take over for the time being, so Sakura naturally followed Sister Shizune to learn.
Early in the morning, I heard Lady Tsunade yell, "Shizune!"
While he was explaining some precautions to Sakura, he could only rush in.
Sakura followed Sister Shizune and opened the door to the Hokage's office.
Seeing a carrier pigeon pecking at Tsunade-sama's hair, Sakura and Shizune looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Shizune took a deep breath and adjusted herself, "Please go ahead."
Tsunade handed the letter in her hand to Shizune, "The Star Ninja Village has entrusted us with a guard mission."
Sister Jingyin nodded, and when she looked up, she saw the pigeon that was behaving recklessly, and she almost couldn't help laughing, "Is there any problem with this?"
Sakura remembered this ninja village. "I remember that although the Xingyin Ninja Village was small, its ambitions were high and it had conflicts more than once."
Shizune understood the meaning, "So, do you want to accept it?"
Tsunade also expressed her opinion, "We can't just turn a blind eye... There is someone in the Star Hidden Ninja Village."
That? What is it? It's really interesting... But it seems that the only ninja team in the village this time is Neji's team, right?
Tsunade then looked at Sakura, "Sakura, go summon Team Neji."
After summoning Neji's team, Sakura saw Naruto sitting under a tree drinking tea. She greeted Naruto. After all, it was rare to have such leisure time, eating snacks and drinking tea.
As they were talking, they started discussing this special commission. "The Hoshigakure Ninja Village entrusted us with a protection mission, and the village's team happened to only have Neji and his team, so this time we sent a three-person team headed by Neji."
Naruto took a sip of tea and said, "But then again, isn't that a ninja village? Why entrust us with it? Can't we just do it ourselves?"
Sakura remembered what Lady Tsunade wanted to say, "It's normal for a smaller friendly village to ask us for help. What's more, the scale of the village is really small, and the number of ninjas is also limited."
Naruto looked confused, "Then why would anyone bother them?"
As for the reason, Sakura even looked through ancient books and found out some information. "Speaking of this, it dates back to two hundred years ago when a star fell into the Star Hidden Ninja Village."
This sentence actually startled Naruto who was eating his snacks, and he almost choked, "Are you sure it's not umeboshi? It's the stars in the sky?!"
Sakura nodded at this record. After all, it did have a basis. "Yes, it is said that the star has a mysterious power that can affect chakra."
Naruto laughed heartily. How could there be such a mysterious power that could affect chakra? "Feudal superstitions are not to be trusted! Besides, the stars are fine in the sky, how could they fall just like that?"
Sakura took a sip of hot tea and continued to explain: "This is true. In fact, ninjas from other countries have targeted the Star Hidden Ninja Village more than once."
Naruto's eyes widened in surprise, "Ninja from another country?" Then he began to think, mysterious power? Someone like Orochimaru would not be let go... When he thought of this, Naruto stood up suddenly, "Okay, I want to go too!"
Sakura was used to Naruto's sudden ideas, "But the members of the three-man team have already been decided."
Naruto was very confident, "I still have a trump card!"
This made Sakura look up. A trump card? How strange.
But after Naruto went to the Hokage's office, Lady Tsunade did agree, but on the condition that Sakura had to go with him.
Sakura sighed, maybe because she could control Naruto?
He took his backpack, met Naruto at the village gate, and then hurried to meet up with Neji and the others.
