157, Encounter
Top floor of the office building.
Sakura's state of mind at the moment is very complicated, not long ago she regarded the emperor as an enemy, but now she has to come to the other party to complete the work he has assigned.
Obviously, Shikamaru and the others are still being held at the moment, but she really has no other way to save everyone.
I can only do what Tsunade-sama said, hoping that my efforts will be able to win the emperor's favor, and at that time, there will be hope that both Shikamaru and them will be released and all of them will go back.
Outside the office, she saw a very young and pretty girl, with long reddish-brown curly hair, although her appearance was still a little green, but she had the style of a mature woman.
Sakura's mind spun around and immediately thought of who this person was.
Shine on the beauty of the shadows, the five generations of water shadows in the foggy hidden village!
She's here...... Is it the emperor's secretary?
"Hello, if only you just deliver official documents to me." Terumi said politely to her with a professional smile on her face.
Sakura was stunned for a short time and then hurriedly said, "I...... I got it...... Ask to see Your Majesty. β
"May I ask you what's the matter, Your Majesty is busy with official business, and you usually need to make an appointment to apply in advance." Terumi said with a smile undiminished, people of ordinary rank will be filtered out of her here, and she also knows those high-ranking and powerful people in Konoha, and the pink-haired woman in front of her is obviously not the latter.
Sakura thought about it and handed over the document in her hand.
Originally, she followed Tsunade's instructions and came to report to the emperor while delivering the working documents.
I didn't expect to see each other in person.
"Thank you for your hard work, I will transfer it to Your Majesty." Terumi smiled.
Sakura also said, "I'm in trouble." β
With that, she turned and walked down the stairs, and at the same time secretly relieved.
Her impression of the emperor is still stuck in the ruthlessness she had when she dealt with them not long ago, and it was ridiculous that such a person who hurt them should now serve him.
Sakura smiled bitterly and continued down the stairs.
However, at the corner of the first floor, I met two people head-on.
Kakashi Hachiki, Maitkai.
Sakura froze in place, she didn't expect to meet these two here, and during the time she lived in Konoha, she had been shy about meeting anyone she was familiar with.
"Eh, you're not the ...... before" Kai looked at Sakura's appearance and immediately pointed at her and screamed in surprise.
Kakashi's gaze was calm, and he was equally impressed by the strange woman.
"Shouldn't you have been arrested, why are you here?" Kai couldn't help but think.
Sakura looked at the boy Kakashi in front of her, and a flash of loneliness suddenly flashed in her eyes.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm working under Tsunade-sama right now. β
"Oh, yes!" Kay was surprised.
Kakashi then swept past Kai and went up the stairs, and Kai immediately left Sakura behind and went after Kakashi.
"Kakashi, wait for me!"
Sakura still froze in place, watching Kakashi's departing back.
Counting the time, it seems that my generation is about to be born in this world......
It seems that he still has a chance to see Sasuke again.
As for Naruto...... She knew the news that the fourth Hokage had died in this world, and it was impossible for Naruto to be born.
After standing there for a few moments, Sakura shook her head, dispelled the jumbled thoughts in her mind, and walked out of the office building.
When Kakashi and Kai arrived outside the office on the top floor, Terumi's attitude was noticeably more enthusiastic, and a friendly smile appeared on her face.
One of the ten crowned guards in the oracle and a peer, Terumi is very close to Kakashi, and she is one of the few friends she has made.
"You're here."
Kakashi nodded lightly, "We ask to see Your Majesty, please excuse me." β
"Okay."
Zhao Meiming gently pushed the door and walked into the office this time, the office was very quiet, she first saw Temari lying on the sofa reading a book very casually, and then looked at the desk, and saw His Majesty sitting on the recliner with his back and closing his eyes to rest.
She suddenly made her steps lighter and looked at Temari.
Temari just glanced at it faintly, and then he stopped paying attention to Terumi and read the book by himself.
When Terumi saw the piles of documents on the table, she couldn't bear to disturb Zhen, who was resting, but she slowly opened her eyes at this time.
"Who's coming?" He asked, rubbing his brow, looking very tired.
"It's Kakashi and Kai, who have come to see you." Terumi replied immediately.
She yawned and moved her shoulders, and when she saw this, she immediately walked behind him and helped him rub his shoulders.
"Your Majesty, don't work too hard." She said softly.
"Hmm."
Zhen casually took out two boxes from the drawer and put them on the table, and said to Mei Ming: "Give them them, you don't need to let them in." β
The box contained a new generation of Immortal Bracelets, and Kakashi and Kai were now the same as the Fire Gate, both of whom were experimenters of the Immortal Bracelet.
Terumi walked out with the box as she said.
Shin stood up and stretched, moved her body and asked, "How long have I been squinting?" β
"More than half an hour." Temari replied.
"I've been a little sleepy lately."
"Your body is not fully developed now, and you must not be able to stand such high-intensity work all the time, and you will not listen to it." Temari pouted.
Zhen sat back in his seat, held his forehead with one hand and said: "At the beginning of the empire, it was a time when all aspects were busy, and there were not many people under his hands who could use it, and the body consumed now could be fully replenished in the future." β
A few days ago, his first thought when he saw Tsunade was really not to do anything to this woman, but that this woman had the talent to be a Hokage, so she would definitely be able to work for herself.
That's why he forces the other party to do these things.
There are few people in the Hyuga clan who can bear heavy responsibilities, and so are the original ninjas in Konoha, so they are good at carrying out tasks, and they have all become blind and deaf when dealing with political affairs.
At this time, talents like Uchiha Fugaku and Yahiko are rare.
Temari closed the book in his hand, looked at Zhen and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "You can give yourself half a day off." β
"Huh?"
Temari smiled: "Let's go relax and take a break." β
Zhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Where do you want to go?" β
Temari came to the real approach, grabbed his hand and said, "It's not that I want to go anywhere, it's that I want to take you somewhere." β
With that, she left the office without saying a word.
And the next moment they disappeared, Terumi Ming, who had just sent Kakashi and Kai away, had just wanted to come in and help His Majesty beat his back and squeeze his shoulders, pushed the door in and pounced.
"Your Majesty?"
Konoha Ninja School.
There is a lawn outside the playground, next to a river below, which is already considered the field outside the school, rarely visited, and now it is the time of the school day, and it is very quiet.
Temari lay casually on the grass, his hands resting behind his head, the sun shining and the river sparkling.
Shinya lay aside and said, "I can occasionally detect that your chakra will be around here, so it turns out that they are all here." β
"When I was a kid at the ninja school, I used to come here a lot." Temari said.
She grew up as an orphan in Konoha and also studied at a ninja school.
After a moment's thought, he asked, "Alone?" β
Temari said, "And Your Majesty, I met Your Majesty for the first time here...... Well, it could also be that Your Majesty found me here. β
Really chuckled, and Temari's short words immediately made him hear many things.
A girl who has been alone since she was a child, she has a character like Temari, and I guess I didn't have any friends when I was a child......
Therefore, her future self has also become her salvation.
The breeze was blowing, and the grass on the side was gently swaying, and the mood really became very peaceful.
"I often think that if I came into this world, it would be better if I didn't come to this place in such a capacity, not at such a time......"
Temari turned his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty will also say this in the future." β
I was stunned, and then dumbfounded.
Isn't your future self so happy......
He stared at the water and said nothing.
"What does Your Majesty want?"
"I don't know...... If you think of something, you want it. β
Temari tilted his head and said, "I'll always be happy if I do something that satisfies me." β
She then said, "Whatever Your Majesty wants, I will accompany you." β
What do you want......
From the very beginning of his arrival in this world, he was forced to live a life of treading on thin ice and being terrified.
Forced to sit on this high position and forced to come to this point, he can't retreat at all, except for the road ahead, all other directions seem to be an abyss.
He wouldn't have killed anyone if it weren't for the opposing position, but too many people wanted him dead.
If he was born in Naruto's era, it would be enough to be a spectator quietly next to the protagonist group, and everything would rush forward, and it would be quite tiring.
I slowly closed my eyes and breathed evenly.
Not long after, he was woken up by the bell of the school not far away.
The hand on the side bowed and said, "Your Majesty, use a transformation technique, there will be students here in a while." β
I really opened my eyes and turned my head to look at her, and found that the person lying next to me had become a cute little girl of seven or eight years old, with a pair of smart eyes blinking.
She laughed out loud, and followed her words, and cast a transformation technique to transform into a black-haired boy who looked like her.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps.
"Izumi, the ninja school is so boring, I already know everything the teacher teaches."
"These are not the most precious things in school, and it's not good to be with your classmates every day."
"But I think they're all so naΓ―ve, and they still think of me as a big brother, I just want to be with you and Zhishui."
I really heard a familiar voice, and I couldn't help but follow the sound, and found a familiar black-haired boy, followed by a little girl standing not far from this lawn.
The little boy is none other than Itachi.
He glanced at the girl beside him, but met the calm gaze she had glimpsed at her.
