After sending Naruto and the others away, Sakura Haruno returned to the living room, ready to give Ranmaru guidance again.

As soon as he entered the living room, Ranmaru walked over with an envelope on a nervous face, handed it to Sakura Haruno and said, "Lord Sakura, I found this when I was cleaning." ”

Sakura Haruno was stunned, took the envelope, and asked, "This just appeared?" ”

"Well, after those guys are gone." Ranmaru nodded and said.

Sakura Haruno frowned slightly, it seemed that the three of them weren't exactly here to see her.

Moreover, this letter was not given openly, but was secretly left, indicating that this letter was not known to all three people, that is, one of the three people was an "inner ghost".

Kiritani Momiji came out of the room in a kimono, and when he saw Sakura Haruno holding a letter, he frowned and pondered, and asked suspiciously, "Sakura, what's wrong?" ”

Sakura Haruno raised the letter in her hand and said with a smile, "There is a wolf among the three of them. ”

"What?" Kiriya Momiji looked at her suspiciously, not understanding what she meant.

Sakura Haruno shook her head and opened the envelope casually, and there was only one very interesting question on the letterhead:

How is the bluebird out of the cage doing?

"Hehe, what is the blue bird, is Ning Ci's nickname?" Sakura Haruno smiled, she knew who wrote the letter.

Although Sakura's plan to plan Ningji's fake death is not complicated, it is absolutely flawless. Even if someone would think that Ning Ci faked his death, they would never think that she did it.

Of course, there is one exception, and that is Nara Shikamaru.

Sakura Haruno had gone to see Shikamaru before meeting Ningji, so Shikamaru knew that she was in Konoha, and combined with the words she said to Shikamaru that were similar to invitations, it was basically certain that Sakura Haruno's business was done by Sakura Haruno.

So, there are only two possibilities for this letter to appear here, the first is that Shikamaru told Tsunade about the matter, and the second is that the letter was written by Shikamaru himself.

If this letter was written by Konoha side, no, if Konoha side knew about Ning Ji, they wouldn't have written a letter at all, and they would directly send someone from the Hyuga family to ask for someone.

So that's the only possible thing left for Shikamaru.

But the question arises, why did Shikamaru write this letter?

Sakura Haruno sat down at the table and contacted Blackie to ask him to come back first.

At this time, Xiao Hei was grabbing cat food with a few dogs at Kakashi's house, and when he felt the call of Sakura Haruno, he looked up at Kakashi and said, "Sakura-sama asked me to go back." ”

Kakashi was a little confused and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"I don't know, but I'll be back soon." Xiao Hei shook his head slightly and said.

"Then you go, I'll pick you up later." Kakashi said with a smile.

Blackie nodded, turned around and slapped Parker hard, and then slipped straight into the dark realm.

"Damn dead cat!"

……

Blackie jumped out of the shadow passage on the table and came to Sakura Haruno, who was waiting for him at the table with Momiji Kiriya, and Ranmaru had already gone to take care of the tailed beasts.

"Sakura-sama, Momiji-sama, what's the matter?"

Sakura Haruno thought for a moment and asked, "How is Konoha doing, and are there any moves?" ”

"Konoha's biggest move recently has been to rebuild, tearing down some houses in the main city and building new ones."

Konoha demolished the old house and built a new house in order to replan the business district, and this Haruno Sakura knew it.

Sakura Haruno nodded, thought for a moment, and asked again, "What about Shikamaru?" Any news? ”

Xiao Hei thought for a moment and said, "Nara Shikamaru has been in the Hokage's office every day recently, so there is no strange news. ”

Sakura Haruno frowned slightly, nothing happened to Shikamaru, so what was the purpose of writing the letter?

"What about his father?" Sakura Haruno asked again.

"Nara Shikahisa has been resting at home for the past few days and has not been on a mission."

Sakura Haruno is a little strange, Shikamaru has nothing to do, why did she suddenly write to her? I brought it smuggling.

She thought Shikamaru had encountered some setback, but then changed her mind and was ready to mess with her.

"Nothing strange?" Sakura Haruno asked with a frown.

Xiao Hei lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "If I have to say something strange, it is rumored that the two fathers and sons of the Nara family had a dispute because of their disagreement over the planning of the village, and then Tsunade chose Nara Shikaku when making the decision. ”

Sakura Haruno raised her eyebrows, this was the key, so she continued to ask, "Isn't there any more specific news?" ”

Xiao Hei shook his head slightly, and said, "There are too many places to listen to in the village, even a thief with shadow energy can't listen to it, I can only pick a few key places to listen to every day." ”

According to Sakura Haruno's guidance, Konoku has placed miniature shadow passages in various places in Konoha, so although it has been staying at Kakashi's house, it can also monitor Konoha at any time, although it is not very comprehensive, but it is enough.

Hearing this, Sakura Haruno nodded slightly, and said, "Then you go back and help me carefully inquire about the matter between Shikamaru and Shikaku." ”

"I see." Xiao Hei nodded and said.

After finishing the matter, Sakura Haruno smiled and touched Koguro's head and asked, "How is Kakashi doing to you?" ”

As soon as he said this, Xiao Hei's mood instantly became a little unstable, and he said angrily: "He is nothing, mainly because of his vicious dogs, who bully me more every day." ”

Sakura Haruno was slightly stunned, then thought of the ninja dogs raised in Kakashi's house, and smiled, "You can't even beat them." ”

"Hmph, who said you can't beat it, just rely on them, it's still far away." Xiao Hei raised his head arrogantly and said with some disdain.

Sakura Haruno smiled, although Xiao Hei is a male cat, he is also quite cute.

"It's okay to fight it, you go back first, bring this back."

Sakura Haruno said and took out a letter, which she had just written, to deal with Tsunade.

"This is a letter to Tsunade, if you give this to her directly, she won't suspect it." Sakura Haruno smiled and put the letter at Black's feet.

"I see." Blackie nodded, lowered his head and picked up the envelope, turning and jumping into the shadow passage.

After Koguro left, Kiritani Momiji looked at Sakura Haruno and asked, "Does Shikamaru want to come to your side?" ”

Sakura Haruno shook her head slightly and said, "I'm not sure either, but I really want him to come." ”

As she spoke, she touched her chin and bowed her head, and muttered, "It stands to reason that Shikamaru is not the kind of person who will change his position casually, even if he quarrels with his father, he should not rise to the height of changing his position." ”

"But the letter he wrote to me is very strange, if he doesn't want to come to my side, then why did he write this letter, could it be really to ask Ning Ci's situation?"

Saying that, Sakura Haruno shook her head, there is too little information, no matter how you think about it, it is unreasonable, and the logic is not connected.

"Anyway, let's wait until Xiao Hei's side finds out the situation."

……

On Konoha's side, Koguro returned to Kakashi's house with the envelope in his mouth and placed the envelope in front of Kakashi.

Kakashi was resting at home when he saw the envelope and asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”

"The letter that Sakura-sama asked me to bring is for Hokage-sama." Xiao Hei said lightly.

Kakashi's expression was straight, he picked up the envelope and was about to get up and leave, but after thinking about it, he turned around and picked up Xiao Hei, and said, "Please come with me." ”

Xiao Hei struggled for a moment, ran to Kakashi's shoulder and sat down, and said indifferently, "If you ask for something, you should say it before you act." ”

Kakashi just smiled and set off with Koko, going to the Hokage's office to find Tsunade.

All the way to the Hokage's office, when he went in, he happened to meet Shikamaru getting off work, Shikamaru was slightly stunned when he saw Xiao Hei, then calmed down and asked, "Kakashi-sensei, what is this?" ”

"It's just right, let's come with Shikamaru, Sakura wrote a letter to Tsunade-sama." Kakashi said with a smile.

Shikamaru was slightly stunned, and silently calculated the time in his heart, now Ino should have seen Haruno Sakura, thought about it, shook his head slightly, and said a little lazily: "Forget it, I'm off work, if there is an emergency, Tsunade-sama will let people notify me." ”

"Goodbye, Kakashi-sensei."

As he spoke, Shikamaru waved his hand, passed by Kakashi, and left straight away.

Kakashi looked at Shikamaru's back, frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then turned around and walked towards the Hokage's office, pushing the door in.

In the office, Tsunade was sitting by the window, enjoying the night view belonging to Konoha, when he heard the sound of pushing the door and looked back.

"Kakashi, it's you, aren't you resting today?" Tsunade asked with a faint smile.

"Tsunade-sama, Sakura has written a letter suddenly." With that, Kakashi placed the letter on Tsunade's desk.

Tsunade looked at the envelope suspiciously, picked it up and opened it.

After looking at it for a while, Tsunade handed the letter to Kakashi, and said with a somewhat strange expression, "Sakura-chan is here to develop diplomacy for Konoha?" ”

The letter is about the Snow Country, and Haruno Sakura recommends the Queen of the Snow Country to Tsunade, Kazeka Koyuki, as a friend, hoping that Konoha can establish friendship with the Snow Country.

It also mentions Kakashi's friendship with Kazuka Koyuki more than ten years ago, saying that Kazuka Koyuki has a good impression of Konoha and hopes that Konoha can learn more about the Land of Snow.

In general, I, Sakura Haruno, have a friend of the Queen, but her country is relatively poor, so I hope that the Fire Country can help.

A short time later, Kakashi also finished reading the letter, put it back on the table, and said, "Indeed, fourteen years ago, I went to the Land of Snow once, when I rescued a young princess on a mission. ”

"Do you have any impressions of Snow Country?" Tsunade asked.

Kakashi frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "The only clear impression is the snow, it is a country in the wind and snow, the southernmost coast is full of glaciers, and the rest is very vague. ”

Tsunade pondered for a while, and said, "Why don't you go to the Snow Country again tomorrow, after all, it is a new object of diplomatic relations, and it seems that the process of establishing diplomatic relations will be very smooth." ”

"Yes." Kakashi nodded, anyway, his vacation ends tomorrow, and it just so happens that this mission sounds quite easy, so why not do it.

"Okay, you come here again tomorrow, I want to talk about the other members of the diplomatic team, and I will go with you when the time comes." Tsunade clapping this matter is a foregone conclusion.

"Yes."
