Chapter 494: Sakai
Sakura Haruno put her hand in the ninja's mouth and grasped his slippery tongue.
"Calm down. It may be a little painful. She said.
Sakura's eyes brushed lightly over the young man's delicate face, who opened his mouth, and the saliva in his mouth slowly drooped uncontrollably, but the expression on his face remained calm.
No, not calm.
Sakura Haruno narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling that it was more like the dead silence of a mechanically indifferent expression.
"Stick your tongue out a little more, Sakai. β
The boy sitting in front of her was the former root ninja, Sakai who formed the seventh class with Naruto in the other world.
Sakai stuck his tongue out of his mouth harder.
A black bared spell mark on the base of the tongue was revealed.
The mark of the tongue is the root of the curse.
This is a spell mark that Danzo uses to control the root ninja and ensure that his subordinates do not reveal the secrets of the root. Since Danzou has not yet been executed, this spell is still in effect.
There was a purple tadpole-shaped spell outside the bar, enclosing a standard semicircle, which was the second seal under the dark part during the interrogation.
Just as Orochimaru used the Five Elements Seal to cover Naruto's abdomen with the Bagua Seal, disrupting the function of the Nine-Tails Sealing Technique, this Five-Element Seal cast by the Shadows can cover the black spell seal, making it lose its forbidden effect on the root ninjas, so as to facilitate their interrogation.
Of course, the effect of the mass-produced temporary seal is not very long-lasting, and the effect is quite rough.
When Sakura Haruno checked, the Five Elements Seal had been distorted and deformed, and the color had faded by half.
"The Five Elements Seal has expired, right?"
Sakai couldn't speak, nodding his head vigorously. Sakura Haruno continued, "The Seal of the Root of the Tongue will automatically expire when Danzo dies, so you can ignore it for the time being. I will first remove the Five Elements Seal, and then re-establish a more effective Bagua Seal. β
The boy was expressionless, just blinking.
The girl's white fingers reached deep into his mouth, all the way to the bottom of the striped spell mark.
The soft fingertips rubbed against the protrusions of the curse mark, and even though Sakura's movements were already gentle, the entry of the foreign object still made Sakai feel sick to his stomach.
He struggled to suppress the thought of his sudden outburst, breaking free from her grasp.
Sakai is still confused by his situation.
As an ordinary member of the Roots, the trajectory of his life changed 180 degrees after the fall of Danzang.
Sakai once thought that he would spend a few months in the Dark Prison, and then after being screened by the Dark Ministry, he returned to work as an ordinary ninja, with the label of a former root ninja who could never be removed, either doing nothing for the rest of his life, or dying in a certain mission or a corner without being known.
But then he seemed to have received some degree of preferential treatment and trust, conducted a second round of review in advance, and walked out of the dark prison and into the sunlight under the eyes of Sasuke Uchiha with another meaning.
"From today onwards, you will be an ordinary Konoha ninja Sakai. β
Kakashi shoved a ninja registration card into his arms.
"Remember, you have nothing to do with Tuan Zang anymore. β
Sakai looked carefully at the registration card in his hand in the sunlight.
Name: Sakai. Gender: Male. Level: Special Shinobi.
β¦β¦
Profile: Good at drawing.
There is also a stamped passport photograph on the opposite page. The boy in the photo has clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, indifferent eyes, and no expression.
On the back is a blank space with a secret mark of Konoha printed on it.
Getting this piece of paper shows that Tsunade and Konoha have admitted that he is no longer a former root ninja, but an ordinary member of Konoha's tens of thousands of ninjas.
The September sun was still dazzling, and Sakai tucked the registration form into his ID book, put it close to his body, and his eyes narrowed.
He's just an ordinary member of the roots, he doesn't know the secrets of the group, except that the secret technique is quite passable, there is nothing special about him that needs to be paid attention to, and there is no interpersonal relationship that can make others say good things to him.
So he doesn't deserve to be wooed by the village, and there's no reason to get preferential treatment.
So...... Why?
The only thing that can have anything to do with this is the day when Danzou took a few of their roots to block Haruno Sakura in a menacing manner, and then was beaten by her - Sakai was lucky to shout surrender in time and was not killed on the spot.
That should have offended the big guy of the Hokage Department, and he was remembered as a small book, right?
Sakai rubbed the paper in his hand full of real feelings, his heart full of confusion, but his calm expression remained unwavering on the surface.
"That's ...... It's over?"
Apparently not.
The story of the nameless ninja belonging to the root has come to an end though.
The story that belongs to Sakai has only just begun: a few days later, Sakura Haruno, who returns from the land of snow, pulls him into the envoy group.
At the first sight of the meeting, the womanβor rather a girlβsaid, "I smell that rotten chakra smell of Danzo in you......"
"The tongue is in effect again?"
It's two years younger than him, but he's unusually strong.
Without even waiting for his answer, the decision was made: "Open your mouth, I'll dispose of it." β
β and then the opening scene came about.
Sakai paused to reminisce.
Pay attention to the girl's hand.,Restrain the physiological reaction caused by the penetration of a foreign body in the throat.γ
Sakura Haruno's movements are not slow.
First, he gently rubbed the old Five Elements Seal, and delicately washed away the invalid seal. And thenβ
Swish!
A chakra blue light suddenly rose from her fingertips, and it suddenly pressed against the base of Sakai's tongue.
The soft and smooth fingers suddenly became as hot as a soldering iron, and they burned the defenseless soft flesh!
Sai's eyes widened for a moment, and he almost jumped up from his chair.
But after all, he was a ninja from the roots, and his strong endurance suppressed the huge pain, and he saw that Sakai was covered in cold sweat, his delicate face became distorted and hideous, and his green tendons were uplifted, but his body was still unmoving!
Sakura Haruno's fingers slid firmly and slowly across Sakai's tongue, and the chakra perfectly transformed into a double four-elephant seal, turning into a series of delicate spells, nested outside the tongue bane curse seal.
In a few moments, the new seal was finally completed.
Sakura Haruno pulled her hand out, and her hand was covered with transparent saliva.
Sakai was paralyzed, sitting on a chair, sweating like rain, soaking all the clothes all over his body, and the saliva at the corners of his mouth dripping uncontrollably, his image was extremely embarrassed.
Sakura Haruno washed her hands, looked at Sakai's appearance, and handed him a wad of tissues.
After sitting for a while, Sakai regained his strength, stood up, wiped off his sweat and saliva, cleaned up, and suddenly returned to the appearance of that clean and handsome young man.
"Thank you. β
Sakai said stiffly.
It's like saying thank you for the first time.
Sakura Haruno frowned slightly, and at this time she should have replied with a smile and a polite word, but in the face of Sakai, she didn't have this idea.
Sasuke was in the world over there, and when he saw that Sakai and Naruto were getting along very well, he thought that he had value worth saving, so he gave him priority to review and get a new identity.
Is that appropriate, though?
After all, Sakai from the two worlds is not the same person.
People are shaped by experience.
Sakai, who has not been touched by Naruto, is not alone with Sakai in that world after all.
So...... Do you need patience?
Sakura Haruno looked at him with an inquiring gaze.
Sensing the girl's gaze, Sakai felt a subtle uneasiness.
"Is there anything wrong?" he thought for a moment, and put on a more stiff and false smile, "OhβI forgot to put a smile on my face when I thanked him. β
The emotionless squint and smile made him look underwhelmed.
"Didn't anyone tell you? You're smiling fakely. Sakura Haruno said coldly, "This kind of smile doesn't make your thanks seem more sincere." β
Sakai was silent for a moment, and the expression on his face returned to expressionless indifference.
"I'm sorry," Sakai subconsciously knelt down on one foot and lowered his head, "I did this according to what the book says, and I should smile when I say thank you." β
The experience of serving in the root made Sakai develop the conditioned reflex of kneeling down and admitting his mistake as soon as he was scolded by his superiors.
Obviously, Sakura Haruno is the superior person he identifies as, and he can only come to this conclusion from the level of the ninja, his identity, or his strength.
Sakura Haruno sighed and walked over to Sakai.
"Get up," she said lightly, "Konoha is not the root of destroying humanity and eliminating personality, and there is no rule of kneeling at every turn. β
"There is no need to hide yourself so hypocritically. You can...... Treat me and us as companions. β
Sakai was slightly stunned.
The two slender white calves that Yu stood in front of Sakai, instead of the black robe that had not changed for thousands of years, reminded him that the person in front of him was not the ruthless Tuanzang.
But...... Well, the ruthless Sakura Haruno.
At least in his memory, the only contact with Sakura Haruno, the deepest impression she left on him was that she was ruthless, deadly, powerful and ruthless......
That was the impression of her as an enemy.
But now she is her companion...... So the attitude is different?
Sakai stood up obediently.
"Thank you...... You help me seal the spell seal. He struggled to put on a proper smile.
This time, the smile was slightly less hollow, but still unsightly fake.
ββ¦β¦ You're welcome, it's just a gesture. Sakura Haruno waved her hand and said helplessly, "Also, since you don't want to laugh, don't force yourself to laugh." β
"A smile without real feelings...... It's ugly. β
Sakai was silent.
"Is that so?" he asked, after a moment's thought, "the book clearly says that when you don't know what to say, you just have to smile." β
"The book you read must not have said that a false smile is often more disgusting than not laughing. Sakura Haruno said impatiently.
"If you must laugh, please smile genuinely and put your emotions into the smile. β
Sakai was silent for a long time.
"What's wrong?"
Sakura raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Man of the Roots...... There's no such thing as feelings. Sakai said slowly.
"People have feelings...... the girl shook her head, smiled slightly, and patted him on the shoulder, "You've just been suppressed for too long." β
Regardless of what Sakai thought, Sakura pushed his shoulder: "Help me gather everyone over." β
"I have something to say to you about this operation. β
