In a forest in Woodleaf Village, a demon eye looked around and a space-time vortex opened.
Haruno Sakura walked out of the space-time vortex and looked around. Then, she saw the distant Kinabe Village through the gaps between the trees. Her expression was a little emotional and a little absent-minded.
" Although it's only been a few days, it feels like several years have passed. Everything here has become a little unfamiliar. No, it couldn't be said that this place had become unfamiliar. It was me. I had become a stranger to this place.'
"I'm finally back. However, I don't seem to be too excited.”Haruno Sakura muttered to herself.
'It seems like everything here has nothing to do with me anymore. My teachers, my classmates, my friends, my village…even this world.'Haruno Sakura thought of a few people. Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, Iruka sensei, Ino Yamanaka, and many others.
After walking out of the forest, Haruno Sakura did not go to Naruto Tower to report her disappearance. Instead, she went straight home. At this moment, the clothes she was wearing were already torn in many places. She needed to change into a clean set of clothes first.
"Ah, Xiao Ying, it's really you. You're finally back. Sob, sob, sob, you're finally back. When I heard that you were missing, I was very, very afraid. I was afraid that you would never come back.”When the door opened, Haruno Sakura's mother, Haruno Yabuki, was stunned when she saw Haruno Sakura. Then, she hugged her with tears streaming down her face.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Your mother has been so worried that she can't sleep or eat.”Haruno Zhao said as he held back his tears.
"Bang!" Haruno Yabuki punched Haruno Zhao's face.
"Old man, can you not make such cold jokes at this time?”Haruno Yuki said angrily.
Haruno Sakura looked at her parents, who were once again asking about her well-being after arguing for a while, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up into a warm smile.
'At least I can see my parents again when I come back here. I don't have to part with them.'
After changing her clothes and having lunch, Haruno Sakura rested for a while before heading to Naruto House. If it was in the past, she might not be so undisciplined. However, the current her really did not care much about the village or Naruto, so she naturally became undisciplined.
As expected, in Naruto's office, Haruno Sakura saw Kakashi, and the people around her did not show any surprise when they saw her. It was obvious that Naruto, Kakashi sensei, and the others knew about her return. Sasuke and Naruto did not see it, so it seemed that Kakashi sensei did not inform them.
Haruno Sakura was not surprised that Lord Naruto knew about her disappearance. Every ninja was recorded and would be reported immediately after they went missing. Naruto would also be notified of such a disappearance.
"Xiao Ying, are you…alright?" Kakashi said in a strange tone, as if he was holding something back. Haruno Sakura didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that she could hear sadness, nostalgia, pain, regret, and a trace of joy.
Haruno Sakura didn't know why Kakashi would be so emotional because of her disappearance. In fact, Kakashi was thinking about his former teammates, Uchiha Haido and Harano Lin. He didn't protect his teammates well and died one after another. A few days ago, he thought that he didn't protect the people he should have protected. He had been very depressed and in pain for the past few days.
"I'm fine, Teacher Kakashi.”After Haruno Sakura finished speaking to Kakashi, she turned to look at Naruto III and said,""Genin and Haruno Sakura are here to record their disappearance.”
"Very good. Every ninja is an irreplaceable part of the village. I'm sincerely happy that you've returned safely.”The third generation Naruto said with a gratified expression as he smoked his pipe.
"However, you should also know that the disappearance was not an accident. We need to know what happened during the disappearance.”The third generation Naruto's expression turned slightly serious.
"This is necessary to eliminate spies. I hope you don't have any resistance. For the safety of the village, please cooperate.”
"Yes, I understand." Haruno Sakura lowered her head and said softly.
Clenching her hands together, her body trembled slightly. Facing the serious Naruto III, she could not help but feel fear and unease. At this moment, she felt as if she was standing on the edge of a cliff, with no one to rely on.
However, at this moment, the Chaos Demonic Qi in his body circulated slightly. In his mind, the Chaos Demonic Qi condensed into a virtual image of Niu Kui. The virtual image sat casually on a stone and held the ax as if it had just fallen asleep. At this moment, he opened his eyes slightly, and his dark red eyes flickered. Originally, this represented a powerful and evil image in Haruno Sakura's heart, but now it gave her a strange sense of security.
The fear gradually disappeared, and the uneasiness in her heart calmed down. Haruno Sakura raised her head and looked directly into the eyes of the third generation Naruto.
"Ask what you want to ask, and I will answer what I should answer.”
