This guy I haven't seen in a long time.

Because of the brilliance of the brain, and because my father is the leader of the upper ninja squad, Shikamaru was reused as soon as he ascended to the middle ninja, and sometimes his days were busier than Sakura, who entered the shadows.

So she hadn't seen him for two months.

But this one...... There is no change from before, but he still has a lazy demeanor and looks like he is afraid of trouble.

Walking on the street, the sagging steps, the appearance of hanging children with hands in their pockets, and the energetic and energetic Haruno Sakura are completely two types.

If there is any change, is it one centimeter taller than before? Probably he has also entered the development period of a boy, his height has soared very quickly, and now he is close to 160. Well, but you can still be seen above Sakura's head.

"Now, Shikamaru, long time no see!" Sakura greeted with a smile and turned her gaze to the girl beside him.

Well, it's not just Shikamaru, there's a blonde beauty standing next to him.

Sakura blinked and glanced at the blonde girl's face a few more times, looking very familiar.

It's Temari.

Sakura was impressed by the match she had against Hinata during the Shinobi exam - the huge three-star fan on her back was a great prop to perform a powerful wind escape.

Unlike Sakura and Hinata, who have to rely on themselves for everything, Temari is a second-generation official and a RMB player!

"Yo, are you dating?" Sakura glanced at Temari a few times, then teased with a wicked smile, "Shikamaru, you actually hooked up with a beautiful woman from another village without making a sound!"

Shikamaru pursed his lips and didn't speak.

"Don't talk nonsense...... I only came to Konoha as a staff member for this shinobi exam. The blonde beauty Temari glanced at Shikamaru lightly and explained, "I'm not interested in boys younger than me. ”

No, no, no, before Temari said this, Sakura still believed that the connection between them was just a business connection, but after saying this, she felt that there really seemed to be a feeling between these two people.

There was a smell in the air!

"I'm just in charge of receiving her, don't think too much about it. Shikamaru put his hand in his pocket and said, "Introduction, you should remember, this is the man of our time-"

"-Haruno Sakura, huh?" Temari said scrimbly, she smiled and held out her right hand, "Of course I do. ”

For the first match of the middle ninja exam, the duel between Naruto and Sakura, Temari still remembers it vividly.

Especially the ninjutsu that they used that were far beyond the level of ninjutsu. Naruto's summoning of the toad Bunta was amazing enough, and it was even more amazing that Sakura Haruno was able to defeat Naruto who used such a move. It's impossible for Temari not to be impressed by such a character, especially when the three of them fled from Konoha at that time, thanks to Sakura for letting them go......

Although more than half a year has passed, Sakura has grown a lot taller, and the facial features on her face have grown a lot, but after all, she didn't go to South Korea for plastic surgery, and she hasn't changed so much that she can't recognize it.

"I am. Sakura smiled and nodded, shook Temari's hand and said, "Temari in Sand Ninja Village?"

Temari's hands are not as delicate and soft as the girls of Konoha, with a rough and rigid feeling typical of sand ninjas, even though she is only a ninjutsu-type ninja.

Sakura Haruno moved her gaze from the blonde girl's hand to her eyes, and Temari smiled at her and nodded.

The two hands shook slightly, then let go, and Haruno Sakura said with a smile: "Our dark department will go to your village to carry out the escort mission next, please take care of it." ”

"Welcome. ”

After a few pleasantries, Sakura said goodbye to them. After all, I don't know Temari well, and when I meet on the street, I can only say hello without pain.

She would have liked to know about the current situation of my Airo, but it was extremely inappropriate to care about the people of other people's villages, no matter how she thought about it.

After all, the relationship between the two villages was still hostile not long ago, and Temari had just fought with them a few months ago, and if they became friends all of a sudden, even if it was Sakura Haruno, her mind would be a little unable to turn around. Of course, she didn't hate the sand ninjas anything, she just thought it was a little weird, and she had a feeling that whatever she said to them could easily cause misunderstanding.

This kind of sensitive reception work, sure enough, it is better to leave it to a smart person like Shikamaru to have a headache.

It can be seen that Temari is also about to stop talking, and he is also very interested in the pink-haired girl in front of him.

Those who have experienced the middle ninja exam will not forget the seventh class that shined in the exam, right? The strength they showed was a higher level than the other teams...... And as a girl, Sakura Haruno, who can use ice escape, is even better than the other two boys in the seventh class, which is naturally particularly eye-catching.

However, after all, this is the first meeting after everyone has lifted the hostilities, and it is not beautiful to talk too much......

As she left, Sakura winked at Shikamaru and motioned for him to seize the moment, causing the latter to roll his eyes widely. It seems that he really doesn't have as much fun as his opponent Ju.

She didn't believe it......

Looking at these two people walking away with a smile and a smile, Sakura clearly felt that the two of them would definitely be able to spark.

However, since Temari is here, it means ...... The middle ninja exam is approaching. Temari brings not only the faint smell of sourness, but also the bloody smell of the mission.

She had a hunch that her peaceful life was coming to an end.

……

……

The gossip is just an episode, and the main line of Sakura's life is still an endless task.

At noon the day after tomorrow, on the roof of the Hokage Building.

Sakura and Shino, as well as the shadows of the rest of the detachments, lined up neatly, standing in front of Tsunade and a shadow ninja beside her.

"This one next to me is the captain of the second team, Hinata Hotaru. Tsunade introduced lightly, "This mission will be led by her." ”

Sakura, who was on the tip of her ears, caught the word. According to the sorting rules of the dark department, the dark team that can be ranked at this number is definitely a veteran dark ninja, and the strength is undoubtedly strong.

You must know that Sakura's team is only fourteenth in line......

She looked over curiously, and the captain of the second detachment took a step forward and took off his mask, revealing a young face and the white eyes of the Hinata's logo.

The woman glanced sharply at the dark people in front of her with her white eyes, and said indifferently: "This mission, we will be responsible for investigating the potential safety hazards on the route to Sand Ninja Village, the specific content is written on the mission briefing, and the captains will come up to get the brief......ing in a while."

She pulls out the mission briefing.

"Because of the requirements of the mission, each squad must be equipped with a ninja who is proficient in illusion. Next, the illusion ninja whose name I read stepped forward first: Kakashi Hachiki, Sasuke Uchiha......" She lowered her eyelids and read into the list.

As she pronounced her name, people in the queue came out one after another, standing in a row in front of Hotaru, and standing first was Sakura's leader Kashinobu Kakashi.

Sakura couldn't help but laugh a little in his heart, even if he had three hooks and jade writing wheels, Kakashi's illusion level would be okay...... At least it didn't work for herself.

However, the names of Sunset Red, Kurama Yakumo and others in the back are much louder. Sasuke's words, when he was on the last Snow Country mission, he also practiced illusion for a period of time, and his illusion level with the three hooks was not bad.

- Sakura's so-called is not bad, and the evaluation criterion is that Sasuke's illusion can cause her a moment of trance.

Next, the Shadow Squads will each select illusion ninjas to be temporarily incorporated into their team. In order to balance the strength, the dark team with the lower number was selected first, and by the time it was the turn of the fourteenth team to choose, Kakashi and Sasuke, as well as Sunset Red, Kurama Yakumo and others had already been snatched away.

"Squad 14, come up and get the mission briefing and pick the illusion ninja. Hinata Hotaru said lightly.

said it was a pick, but in fact, there were only two illusion ninjas left who were not selected at this time.

When Sakura and Shino stepped forward, the eyes of the captain of the second team looking at Sakura softened a lot from coldness: "Although Terumi Yuzuki is a newcomer, her strength is not bad, you might as well form a team with her." ”

"Yes, Hotaru-sama/Aunt Hotaru. Shino and Sakura nodded and replied respectfully.

Calling out Aunt Hotaru is not Sakura's relationship, this powerful female ninja is actually Hinata's aunt, who takes care of Hinata at Hinata's house, Sakura has seen her a few times, but she didn't expect her to be a senior dark ninja.

The second detachment then took the last illusion ninja.

Hinata Hotaru looked around, and all the dark teams were already in place, so he waved his hand violently: "Let's go!"
