Chapter 229 Follow-up tasks
Several people covered their noses and retreated, and the fragrant insect flew to Naruto's butt as expected...
Naruto screamed, "What's going on! What just happened doesn't count, come and smell Sasuke's scent!"
Shino held his forehead and said, "It's too late."
It seems that this time I really worked in vain...
But it can’t be said that there was no gain. After all... Naruto also gained a "follower", didn’t he?
Sakura still vividly remembers Tsunade's expression when she reported to her. It was the first time she saw surprise, confusion, suppressed laughter, and laughter on Tsunade's face...
However, this mission ended in failure.
After all, the mission was to find the micro-scented insect and let it smell Sasuke's scent. It was found, but it was this smell...
Tsunade waved her hands and showed a worried expression, "Forget it, but the one who proposed this mission is Hinata... Is she okay?"
Sakura was slightly stunned, and then answered very seriously, "She is doing well. Although the mission failed, she also gained Naruto's recognition and found her own training direction."
Tsunade nodded. It seemed that everyone had grown a lot. Even that timid little girl had become extraordinary.
I don't know what Lady Tsunade was thinking of. Then she looked at Sakura kindly, "But there are still some things I need to trouble you with..."
Sakura: ??? What can I do for you?
------
It is indeed very troublesome... Looking at this pile of selected reports, they are all simple trivial matters. Is this the daily life of a Hokage?
This kind of report about bad weather and condolences to the Hokage is really hard to understand...
However, there are some different books that need to be checked for annotations.
It is indeed very cumbersome. Sister Shizune has to assist Lady Tsunade in assigning tasks. The Jonins are basically all on missions, and Shikamaru... I haven't seen him for a long time. However, the other Genins are all training or doing missions, and I can't hold everyone back!
------
I spent the entire night organizing books and even slept in the office. I would continue working after waking up.
However, after tidying up for a while, Sakura decided to go out for some fresh air. The workload was a bit overwhelming, and it made Sakura a bit irritable.
Standing by the fence, looking at those familiar buildings, I couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion rising in my heart. I also want to use my own strength to protect this place... ...
However, a trembling little bird landed near the fence. Sakura put it in her hand. At this time, she heard a familiar voice behind her, "Sakura!"
"Naruto? Didn't you go to practice?" Sakura was also surprised when she saw the person coming. After all, after the failure of the last mission... Naruto said that he would keep working hard and go to practice.
"Ah, it's all Tsunade's fault. She sent the lecherous sage out, and now she wants me to do a simple task! Sakura, what are you doing?" Naruto told Sakura what had just happened, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face. He didn't know what Tsunade was thinking when she sent him out for such a simple task... When he walked in, he saw that Sakura had a creature in her hand?
"I saw there was something wrong with its wings just now, so I planned to treat it." Sakura raised one hand and covered the bird's body. The soft pink chakra slowly lit up, and the next moment the bird flew into the sky.
"Wow! Sakura is really worthy of her name!" Naruto leaned against the fence, watching the bird flying freely. After returning to the embrace of the sky, the bird actually had a few more friends around it.
"Naruto, did I disturb you? Who is this?" The two of them were leaning against the fence, and they turned around when they heard the voice.
Xiao Li looked at the white-haired woman standing next to Naruto. She had short, neat hair and a slim blue top that made her skin look very fair. The black ninja pants showed her perfect leg shape... But the pair of blue pupils always gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Excuse me for disturbing you. This is Sakura!" Naruto leaned against the fence lazily, looking at Rock Lee unhappily.
Xiao Li looked at Xiao Ying, his eyes widened. This... Is this Miss Ying? She looks even better now! Uh, but the two of them... No, no, no, I can't back down. Youth is unstoppable! He adjusted his expression and showed a perfect smile, "Hello, Miss Ying!"
Sakura didn't know that Xiao Li's expression could be so rich, so she smiled and said, "Hello, Xiao Li, are you feeling better now?"
Before Lee could answer, Naruto rolled his eyes, "Then what are you doing here?"
Naruto's words seemed to pull Xiao Li back to his senses, and he pulled Naruto in his arms, "Ms. Sakura, I'm feeling much better now, let's go first!"
"Wait! What are you doing!!!"
? Sakura looked at Naruto being towed around like a kite by Lee and couldn't help but sigh, "Is this what youth is?"
However, after listening to Mr. Kai's analysis, Sakura only felt that there was some connection, but it was unlikely. Was it all based on her imagination?
Naruto and his crew's mission this time is to go to the Oxalis Gold Mine in River Country and overthrow the rule of the Black Hoe Clan.
Kuroko Raiga is not only the leader of the Kuroko clan, but also one of the "Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist Village". It is known that Hoshigaki Kisame is also one of the "Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist", and Hoshigaki Kisame is Uchiha Itachi's partner, and the person Sasuke is chasing is Uchiha Itachi, so finding Kuroko Raiga may get clues about Sasuke.
This is Mr. Kai's reasoning. Perhaps there is a connection, but the connection is not big. However, this is very tempting to Naruto. After all, there is no information about Sasuke when he is training in the village. At least there is some connection, right?
After their fuss, Sakura felt a lot more relaxed. She went back to the office, flipped through the books one by one, and put them back in their places.
It took several days to complete the classification of these books and those useless reports. Although there were ninjas specifically responsible for distributing them, Sakura also needed to do the classification first.
Sakura pounded her shoulders and sore neck, then came to the Hokage's office, "Tsunade-sama... the books have been sorted, and those simple reports have been classified and distributed one by one."
"Ah, thank you for your hard work, Sakura. Your work efficiency is really good." Tsunade remembered the task she had assigned to Sakura before. So many reports were processed in just a few days. It's really a sign of youth. Not bad, not bad.
