"As I said before, when you graduate from ninja school, you'll be a ninja in your own right."

On the morning of the second day after Sakura Haruno passed the graduation test of the ninja school, Minu Shuna, who had already taken care of her body in these days, got up early in the morning, and then cooked a breakfast for her with Fuso, and prepared a lunch box for her at noon today.

Sitting at the dining table of Mashu's house, at the end of breakfast, Funaka Min suddenly opened his mouth and said to Haruno Sakura, who was taking a sip of miso soup.

After hearing Zhou Jianwen's words, the pink-haired little girl hurriedly prepared to put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand and prepare to listen to her adoptive mother's next teachings, but was stopped by Zhou Jianwen smiling and raising her hand.

"You don't have to be nervous, it's all something I've said to you in the past."

Although the pink-haired girl in front of her has now grown into a slim girl - and after today, she will officially become a ninja in her own right, but in the heart of Zhou Jian Min, she is still the little girl she was back then.

One of her bonds to the world.

"It's just that I suddenly feel that some words seem to be quite appropriate to mention today, so you just think that I am a person with a lot of old words and likes to recall the past."

Although Zhou Jianwen's appearance is still the same, no matter which map she is in, her appearance has not changed from beginning to end, and she still maintains the same appearance as before; But the age in this world is not too young.

Although it is certainly not as good as the old people in the advisory group, but in this background of an extremely high mortality rate - and she has experienced two ninja wars during this period, there are not many ninjas who can live to her age.

Even though Zhou Jian Wen could no longer be regarded as a ninja for a long time, few people in the village—and even other ninjas who had suffered at her hands, dared to really underestimate her.

Now that she heard Zhou Jian Wen say this, Haruno Sakura frowned slightly, and then showed a bright smile to her adoptive mother, just like Zhou Jian Wen had taught her over the years, "What are you talking about, you are still very young." ”

"Not being able to see the traces of time and the real age are two different things," with Zhou Jianwen's eloquent argument, if she really wants to pour it into othersMystery |Soul ||It is estimated that there are really few people who can bear it, let alone being poured by othersMystery |Soul ||Soup.

It's not that no one wants to confuse Zhou Jian with rhetoric, but it can succeed...... There really aren't many.

In fact, the difference between this is not whether the sweet words spoken by those who confuse Zhou Jianwen are really beautiful, but whether the person who is trying to confuse her is treated by her.

And at this moment, the Sakura Haruno who is sitting in front of the boat stream...... It's obviously the object of Zhou Jianwen's willingness to eat this set.

corrected the little girl's words without any accusation, and Zhou Jianwen was no longer in the "age" which is quite sensitive for womenThe question of feeling continued to be discussed with the little girl, but the topic was shifted back to the original question.

"I will always be your strongest support, and this will not change at any time," Zhou Jian Wen looked directly into the emerald green eyes of the little girl, "but I cannot interfere with your future, there is no doubt about that. ”

"In the future, in the process of carrying out your mission, you will always encounter all kinds of problems, you will also encounter all kinds of enemies, and sometimes you will even worry about your life."

"I can't protect you all the time, so you must protect yourself well."

As she spoke, she took out a token with a special texture from her placket and handed it to Sakura Haruno who was sitting in front of her, "Although I didn't let you change your parents' surnames after carrying you back to the Mashu family, after all, this is a proof of your relationship with your parents and the Haruno family." ”

The little girl took the dark color token of unknown texture, which was engraved with the "Qingyun Zhaoshui Octagonal Pattern" symbolizing the real boat family.

She listened quietly to Zhou Jian Min's words, and suddenly didn't know what to say in response, but at this time, Haruno Sakura heard Zhou Jian Wen say again:

"But in my opinion, you are also my child, a very important member of the Zhenzhou family."

Zhou Jian Min showed a loving smile to Sakura Haruno, who suddenly raised her head when she heard her words, "Although it is impossible for me to accompany you on the mission, if you encounter any problems during the mission, take this token to the stronghold of the Mashu family." ”

"You know how to find the stronghold of the Mashu family, you don't need to be polite or shy away from anything, after all, 'rational use of all the resources at hand' is also a very important part for ninjas."

Sakura Haruno felt that she wanted to cry and laugh at the moment, she reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes that were already dripping with tears, and then smiled at Zhou Jianwen, "This sentence is obviously not understood in this way, Lord Jianwen." ”

Zhou Jian Min smiled and said nothing, and Sakura Haruno had already made further moves.

She walked to Zhou Jianwen's side with the meaningful token in her hand, and then stretched out her hands and hugged her adoptive mother tightly, "Thank you, Lord Jianwen...... No, Mother. ”

Zhou Jianwen originally wanted to hug the little girl's hand, and then gently put it on the little girl's back.

"Go, it's your time."

The next breakfast can be said to be extremely warm, and it wasn't until she was going to be late for school that Sakura Haruno hurriedly left Mashu's house in a reluctant mood.

Seeing the little girl go away, Zhou Jianwen, who was standing at the door of Zhenzhou's house wearing a thick coat, sighed softly, and then sighed to Veneto, who didn't know when he had appeared beside him:

"Back then, I heard people say that even if you have a kitten and a puppy by your side, you will develop feelings, let alone people," Zhou Jian Wen gathered her coat, and the spring breeze was still mixed with a chill that should not be underestimated for her, "Now I really understand." ”

Veneto listened to the words of the boat and did not know whether it was self-deprecation or exclamation, and then he heard her continue.

At that time, I decided to adopt this child, on the one hand, I didn't want her to fall into the hands of Bai Lan, "After all, the place of the "root" is ...... Even if the leader is not Tuanzang, in her opinion, it is not a place where a delicate little girl can live for a long time, "On the other hand, she also has her own considerations. ”

Having followed Zhoujian Wen for many years and witnessed what Zhou Jian Wen did in the past few chapters of the map, if Veneto couldn't guess the meaning of Sakura Haruno in this world, then she simply shouldn't be this secretary ship.

This little girl may not be the most critical person in this world - although it is a bit strange to say this, not to mention that Zhou Jianwen himself has always advocated that "everyone is the protagonist of their own life"; But in the case of the map in the second chapter, Ichigo Kurosaki, who has been paying special attention to him since he was not born, is indeed a crucial character in that world.

There may be such a character in this world, although Veneto has not yet seen who it is, but I believe she can believe that Sakura Haruno is not that person.

But even if Sakura Haruno is not that person - to be precise, she is not the protagonist of this world or the savior of this world, but it does not mean that she is not important at all.

In fact, Zhou Jianwen didn't plan to use the little girl to achieve her own goals - she had enough wits and means to achieve her goals, even if she wanted to achieve her goals, it would not reach the point of using a young girl.

Therefore, there is only one most important reason for Zhou Jianwen to adopt Haruno Sakura that day, that is, she doesn't want some external reasons to affect Haruno Sakura.

If the little girl is raised by Bai Lan's side, there will be problems, since the little girl's personality will eventually be affected by the person who raised her, it is better to let her raise the little girl - this is about Zhou Jianwen's initial consideration.

But after getting along for a long time...... Especially after Zhou Jianwen raised the little girl with her own hands, she really regarded the little girl as her own daughter.

"Actually, it's not a bad thing," a slight smile appeared on Veneto's face, "Lord Jianwen has never had feelings for the people there in the previous worlds, and now it is a good thing to have some more bonds. ”

Zhou Jianwen's fetters are all on these ship girls, and the commander always cares about them, although it is a good thing for them ship girls......

But more often than not, they are only worried and distressed.

Just like the teachings of Zhou Jian Wen to Haruno Sakura, people need to be bound to each other, and if Zhou Jian Wen lives in an environment that does not have too many ties with her for a long time, it will not be a good thing for her.

Zhou Jianwen sighed again, "But when I want to leave here, I will ......"

Although I don't know why the system sent her to this world after she got all her ship girls back, Zhou Jian Min knew that she would have to leave this world sooner or later, and whether she would be able to sever the connection between herself and Sakura Haruno at that time......

She's really not sure now.

Hearing this, Veneto also didn't know how to persuade Zhou Jianwen, but at this time, Zhou Jianwen suddenly said, "Forget it, take one step at a time, although there are only a few years left, but there will always be a way before that." ”

Veneto, who had always known about Zhou Jianwen's plans, nodded, and then followed Zhou Jianwen, who was already a little unbearable for the spring cold, back indoors.

"Sakura, you seem to be in a good mood today," Yamanaka Ino felt dazzled as he watched his best friend walk into the classroom with a smile on his face this morning.

Although they have been shinobi since today, Yamanaka Ino doesn't think his best friend will be laughing uncontrollably because of this kind of thing - besides, the next is the most important part of the class, shouldn't he be more nervous when he doesn't know who his future teammates and mentors will be?

- Although such emotions are not normal for her friends who are always different at some point.

"I chatted with Mistress Kanwen for a while this morning, and I'm in a good mood now," Sakura Haruno said to her with a grin as she sat down next to her friend.

However, that smile didn't last long, because Sakura Haruno seemed to have discovered something, her face changed slightly, and then she asked with a look of pity for her, "What's wrong Ino, you don't seem to be in a very good mood." ”

"Why don't you talk to me about something? If a girl's face is stained with trouble, it will not be cute. ”

Although they have long been accustomed to the sweet words of their best friends, Yamanaka Ino's face is still a little flushed, and as for the peers around them who are also not surprised by such a scene......

There are several of them who are envious, and they even include both boys and girls.

There is no one in this class who has not been teased by Sakura Haruno...... Well, it's the girls who have cared. Although when they first entered the ninja school, there were still many girls who admired Uchiha Sasuke who were hostile to Sakura Haruno after knowing that Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha had known each other for a long time.

But by now, about two-thirds of those girls already think that Sakura Haruno is actually more attractive than Sasuke-kun.

As for the remaining third......

They all envy Ino.

"Sakura, Sakura!" Looking at his best friend with a red face, Yamanaka Ino, who has known Sakura Haruno for many years, has long been accustomed to such actions from friends, but he still feels a little embarrassed.

She coughed lightly, then asked, "Aren't you worried about the class?" ”

Sakura Haruno tilted her head and thought for a while, "It's not that I don't care at all, but after all, everyone is in the same class, and it doesn't matter who you are in a group, right?" ”

She has known Haruno Sakura for many years, and Yamanaka Ino naturally knows that her Ji You's words are from the bottom of her heart, she looked at Haruno Sakura for a while, and finally sighed, "I'm really not as open-minded and optimistic as you." ”

"Hmm...... Actually, it's not open-minded and optimistic, right," but she feels that no matter who she teams with, she can get along with them-

If those people refuse to cooperate, she is not averse to speaking with her fists.

- Anyway, there are not many people in this class who can beat her.

Sakura Haruno, who hid some of the education she had received from Funaka Min, and didn't feel how dangerous her thoughts were, hugged her good hime-friend, "Of course, if I can, I still want to be in a group with Ino and Hinata." ”

Hinata on the side blushed and didn't speak, and Yamanaka Ino, who originally wanted to say something, just sighed in the end and hugged Sakura Haruno.

No matter when or under what circumstances, she always has nothing to do with her good friends.

The parents of the future members of Class 7 had already obtained the list of members of Class 7 from Bo Feng Shuimen, who was also one of the parents, more than half a month ago, but they didn't know if they were in a bad mood, and the parents of these three families didn't even mention this matter to their children.

So it wasn't until Iruka read out the list of groups that the three children knew who their future teammates were.

Although he expressed to himhime, "I don't have a problem with whomever I group with" - Sakura Haruno herself did think so, but after hearing the names of her future teammates Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha respectively......

Sakura Haruno still showed a very subtle expression.

It's so subtle that she's half a small person - that is, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha have found out.

Sakura Haruno, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sasuke Uchiha, the three future members of Class 7...... Or rather, the eyes of the three people who have been confirmed to be members of Class 7 wander back and forth on each other's bodies, occasionally making eye contact, but it also makes these three people invariably show a more subtle expression.

Sakura Haruno and Naruto Uzumaki, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno...... Because of the relationship between their parents, these three people have known each other since childhood, and they can even occasionally or often follow their adults to each other's homes.

Although the parents of the three families have never deliberately concealed anything, until not long ago, they did not know that the other party was also familiar with the third person.

And after knowing this, the relationship between these three people became even more strange.

Naruto Uzumaki, who is the son of the fourth generation of Hokage, and Sasuke Uchiha, who is the second son of the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, are not bad, but these two boys, who were also born in families with extraordinary status, have a more or less competitive mentality towards their peers who have the same situation as themselves.

Although they each have objects they want to surpass - such as their father and brother, in their opinion, if they can't be the best among their peers, how can they surpass the object they want to surpass the most?

As for Sakura Haruno, who is a typical "other person's child", these two boys who are still a little "machismo" really don't regard her as a competitor.

Even this girl is, in a sense, the most murderous of her peers.

Standing on the podium, Iruka finished talking about the list of groups and the matter of waiting for their respective mentors in the classroom in the afternoon, and then said a few sensational words, and then announced that they could be temporarily disbanded.

As soon as she heard the word disbandment, Sakura Haruno didn't stare at her future companions anymore, but just set them aside and let them look at each other with inexplicable eyes, while she took Ino and Hinata out for lunch together.

Hearing that they couldn't be assigned to the same class as their friends, Ino and Hinata were still a little unhappy even though they had known that there would be such a situation.

Sakura Haruno is still relatively open, and after persuading her friends with "If you don't have a mission, you can still come out and get together", it did make Ino and Hinata feel a lot better.

The three little girls had a quiet lunch on the lawn, and by the time they got back to the classroom, it was already full.

Seeing that both Naruto and Sasuke were still sitting in the classroom, Sakura Haruno, who thought she was coming back late, was also a little relieved, but she soon realized that she was still relieved too early.

Because until the students in the classroom who were assigned to other classes had been picked up by their respective instructors, their seventh class mentors had no intention of coming.

"That's too slow, isn't it?"

Seeing that the number of people in the classroom gradually decreased, and finally only himself and the two hair were left, Naruto Uzumaki was the first to cry out uncontrollably, and then he turned his head to look at Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, who had never made a sound, and then sighed again, "What do you two say too?" ”

"Calm down, Naruto," Sakura Haruno, who had been reading a book, looked up, "It's not a good thing to be too impatient. ”

Naruto Uzumaki didn't know what to say about Sakura Haruno's calm appearance, so he could only say in a muffled voice, "...... But he was already an hour late. ”

Keeping time is crucial for ninjas, is it really okay for them to teach ninjas?

"We should think of the good," Sakura Haruno knew she couldn't read the book anymore because of Naruto Uzumaki's words, she sandwiched the bookmark between the pages, and then closed the heavy hardcover book, revealing | |The words "Manual for Unusual Use of Wild Mushrooms [Volume II]" on the cover of the book are displayed.

Seeing the title of the book, Sasuke Uchiha, who was sitting behind her, subconsciously shook his eyebrows.

Naruto Uzumaki didn't know what strange books his hair was reading, as he was clearly more interested in the other party's words, "Think about the good?" Like what? ”

"For example, this instructor of our seventh class is a great elite of Konoha Village, so even if he was assigned the mission of bringing down the shinobi, he still used his spare time before that to carry out one great task after another......"

- Why does that sound wrong?

Sasuke Uchiha, who had fallen into Sakura Haruno's thinking mode, thought to himself.

Compared to the more restrained Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki's reaction was more direct, "So you're saying he's on his way back to the village right now?" If that's the case, he's really respectable. ”

"Since such an outstanding and great elite Shinobi has become our mentor, we should be glad that as his students......"

- Did this girl change her mind today?

Sasuke Uchiha, who was sitting behind Sakura Haruno, continued to frown, only feeling that such a gentle Sakura Haruno was really abnormal.

"To show our gratitude to him, why don't we send him a bouquet of flowers?" Sakura Haruno, who also felt that it was not a good idea to sit in the classroom and wait all the time, proposed, "But it can't be casual, after all, every word Ino has said has a special meaning." ”

"I see!" Naruto Uzumaki, who didn't understand that Fa Xiao wanted to take the opportunity to leave the classroom, felt that he was suddenly enlightened, "Sakura-chan means that we should send flowers to make it...... What's it called......"

He thought carefully about the loops of flowers he had seen when he had passed the lawn.

Flowers, rings......

"Oh, yes, wreath!" Naruto Uzumaki, who finally thought of the answer, shouted at the two hairpins, "We should send him a wreath, right?" ”

- Wait, big brother, your idea is a bit dangerous!

Sasuke Uchiha looked at Naruto Uzumaki, who was about to go out to prepare a wreath, and then looked at Sakura Haruno, who had already grabbed Naruto before he left, for fear that he would really prepare the wreath......

Suddenly, I felt that this class was really going to be bad.
