Chapter 143 Cracks (3)
Naruto spread his hands excitedly, "Why, why, the road at night is very dangerous!"
Sakura looked up at the sky, the bright moon and the surrounding street lights, "It's so bright around here, it's okay, Naruto, thank you, I didn't expect that Naruto is much more mature now."
Naruto scratched his nose with one hand and waved his hand, "Don't say that... We are all growing up. Goodbye, Sakura!"
Sakura walked towards home, admiring the moon in the sky. It was the first time she saw such a round moon. But she walked to the entrance of the village unknowingly and then walked back.
Coincidentally, when I was walking back, I saw Sasuke carrying his luggage.
"What are you doing here so late?" Sasuke stood there, looking at Sakura in front of him.
Sakura smiled and looked at Sasuke's backpack. "I just wandered to the entrance of the village, took a look at the sky and walked back. You have made up your mind, right? If you threaten the village, I will not show mercy."
Sasuke passed by Sakura and said calmly: "Ah, congratulations on becoming a Chunin, go back to sleep... ...Thank you, Sakura."
Sakura said nothing more. She turned around and looked at Sasuke's receding back. After all, those who are bent on revenge... are destined to learn to endure loneliness.

Feeling the birds singing outside, Sakura took a deep breath. Just as she walked out of the room, she heard Haruno Zhao walking up the stairs, "Sakura, the envoy of the Godaime wants to see you."
Sakura knew what was going on, so she took the breakfast prepared by Haruno Zhao and went out.
"I'm in."
When I opened the door to the Hokage's office, I saw that Shikamaru had already arrived.
Tsunade looked at the two people and started talking, "Last night, Uchiha Sasuke left the village, and then it is basically certain that he went to the Sound Village."
Sakura's reaction was calm, but Shikamaru was very confused, "Left? Why?"
Tsunade crossed her arms and continued, "Because I was tricked by Orochimaru!"
Regarding Shikamaru's nervousness, Sakura explained: "It will be easier if I explain this matter. Sasuke has always wanted to seek revenge on Itachi, and Orochimaru noticed this and planted a mark on Sasuke in the Forest of Death during the Chunin Exam. With Naruto's continuous progress and Itachi's appearance, Sasuke began to think about going to the Sound Village."
Tsunade nodded, "Anyway, I'm going to give you your first mission as a Chunin."
Shikamaru thought quickly and figured out the reason right away. After all, Sasuke was the only one left in the Uchiha clan, and the Sharingan must not fall into the hands of other villages. "Is it okay to just go and bring Sasuke back?" As long as there were no enemies, this would not be a big deal.
Tsunade lowered her voice, "Well, but this mission is extremely urgent, and it may become very difficult... ...because Orochimaru's men are likely to lead Sasuke."
Sakura still has some impression of Orochimaru's subordinates. After all, the ones who established the Four Purple Flame Formation during the Chunin Exams were probably the ninjas who led Sasuke this time.
Shikamaru at the side couldn't help but mutter in his heart, things have become so troublesome all of a sudden, but, I really didn't expect him to... After all, he is a powerful guy, I have always looked at him differently, "Then for this mission, the four-man team should also be composed of jonin and chunin?"
