The next day
Hokage Building
An old man with one eye, dressed in black and exuding a terrifying aura, angrily walked into the Hokage's office.
"Hiruzen!"
"That little bastard of yours!"
Shimura Danzo choked on his words before he could finish.
In front of him, a little pink-haired girl was complaining to Sarutobi Hiruzen with a bitter face.
"Master, that guy was really scary last night."
"He climbed up my window in the middle of the night and refused to tell me who he was when I asked him."
"I was so scared~~~"
The pink-haired girl looked at Danzo Shimura with so much hatred at that moment.
He had clearly sent one of his men last night to invite Sakura over, but who knew that this damn girl wouldn't follow the normal procedures.
First, she hit someone with an alarm clock and sent him flying, then incited the villagers to beat up the injured Anbu member.
Didn't expect the bad guys to complain first!
Damn, does pink hair turn black when cut open?!
"Danzo, that's what I wanted to say."
Sarutobi Hiruzen, with two dark circles under his eyes, looked at Shimura Danzo with dissatisfaction and said:
"Why weren't you sleeping at home in the middle of the night and asking someone to look for Sakura?"
"Shouldn't I have checked on your new apprentice?"
Danzo Shimura couldn't help but glare at Sakura and spoke in a cold voice.
Seeing this, Sakura glared back without showing any weakness, but no matter how she looked at it, she was no match for Danzo Shimura's intimidating presence.
"I've already told you about Sakura, Danzo."
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Sakura hiding behind him, then at Shimura Danzo's gloomy face, and his eyes couldn't help but turn sharp.
At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want Sakura to be exposed to these matters.
"Sakura, go back first. Someone will come to find you soon, and no one will climb through your window in the middle of the night anymore."
Sarutobi Hiruzen gently rubbed Sakura's head.
"Yes, Master."
Sakura then stopped hesitating and simply raised an eyebrow at Danzo as she passed by him.
When Danzo Shimura saw this, his face darkened even more.
Watching Sakura leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face suddenly turned cold.
"Danzo, do you remember what I told you yesterday?"
When Sakura left the Hokage Building, she looked back at the office on the second floor and could faintly hear a quarrel, followed by something like "I'm buried deep underground…"
These are all old excuses. Really, can you change them?
But now that the old man has told me to leave, where should I go?
After graduation, the old man didn't assign me a class?
Will someone come to see me soon?
Who?
Just when Sakura was feeling lost, a figure appeared behind her.
"Haruno Sakura, huh?"
Sakura turned around and saw a woman dressed as an Anbu with long purple hair, a ninja sword on her back, and a bird mask on her face standing before her.
"Who are you?"
Sakura looked at the person with some confusion.
"Nightingale, member of the third Anbu team."
"According to the Hokage's orders, Haruno Sakura, you've been assigned to our team."
The purple-haired woman calmly looked at the little girl in front of her.
Is this what the old man arranged?
Just put me in the Anbu so I don't have to worry about Shimura Danzo?
"Then lead the way."
"Follow me."
Nightingale glanced at the little girl in front of her, not quite understanding why the Hokage would place such a newly graduated Genin into the Dark.
After saying that, Nightingale disappeared from the spot, and Sakura immediately followed using the Body Flicker Technique.
She had mastered teleportation for some time and had worked hard to eliminate the swaying that usually comes with it.
But the initial swing was easy, just a seal, which made it easy for Sakura, who had already mastered supernatural powers, to handle.
As for the backswing, she really practiced it as much as possible, but after accelerating to the destination, there was still a reaction time of one or two seconds. She had to observe the surroundings before taking the next step.
It could only be said that this was a reflex problem. If she had reflexes like Minato Namikaze, she could solve it easily.
Actually, there's another way, which is to implant Byakugan or Sharingan in your eye sockets.
But that's impossible even if you think about it.
It's just a fantasy.
Besides, Sakura still prefers her original eyes. She feels a little uneasy thinking about having someone else's eyes in her sockets. But reflexes can only be trained slowly.
But since they were just traveling and not fighting, she could easily keep up with Nightingale's pace.
Uzuki Yugao, codenamed Nightingale, looked back in surprise at the little ninja behind her.
Even though she slowed down to care for the other person, she didn't expect the other person to keep up so easily.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but speed up, and Sakura behind her quickly followed without panting.
As the two of them picked up speed, Uzuki Yugao felt that her pace had reached its limit, but Haruno Sakura was still keeping up steadily behind her.
Another genius.
Uzuki Yugao couldn't help but think of the guy who became the captain of the Dark Division at the age of thirteen.
However, the young captain of the Anbu was now an S-rank rogue ninja of Konoha.
"We've arrived."
Uzuki Yugao brought Sakura to a cave. She first slowed her breathing and looked back at the little girl behind her.
Sakura looked at the cave in front of her with some confusion. This was the side of Hokage Rock.
She had never been here before.
"Follow me."
Sakura didn't say anything, simply following behind Yugao Uzuki silently, acting like a newbie.
As they continued deeper, a different scene appeared in front of her.
The crisscrossing buildings made the entire mountain seem hollowed out, and she could vaguely see figures passing overhead.
Sakura followed Yugao Uzuki step by step, and under her guidance, they arrived at a room similar to a changing room.
"This is the wardrobe prepared for you. It contains your equipment. After you change into it, follow me to meet the captain."
After saying that, Yugao Uzuki pointed to a wardrobe labeled with the number 233 in the corner of the room.
Sakura didn't suspect anything and changed her clothes without hesitation.
Then she followed Yugao Uzuki to meet the so-called captain.
But when she saw the captain, she couldn't help but be stunned. Who was this guy?
"Oh, what a cute junior."
"Nice to meet you. My code name is 'Tenzo' (YAMATO)"
The man with short hair looked at Sakura in front of him and waved in a friendly manner.
Konoha's chief architect and the only Wood Release user in Konoha.
"Um, hello, I'm Haruno Sakura."
Sakura looked into the other person's large eyes and spoke.
