Naruto's water escape is the strongest

There isn't much to add on Sasuke's part.

After all, he and Naruto were basically always acting together.

"At the last moment, Naruto chose to enter the Eight-Tails form to counter Kakuzu's ninjutsu." Sasuke recalled and sighed, "Then...he succeeded."

The tailed beast jade in the Eight-Tails state condensed unimaginable chakra and dispersed Kakuzu's last water dragon bomb.

However, as a price——

Naruto lost control.

Chakra filled with hatred and malice defeated Naruto who was extremely exhausted in an instant.He passed out, his consciousness dissipated, and his brain was soon taken over by Kyuubi's crazy spirit.

The horns were very smart and escaped far away.

then……

Unable to find a target, the demon fox vented its desire to kill on Sasuke, who was also exhausted.

Sasuke was forced into a desperate chase with Kyuubi!

"If Sakura hadn't arrived just in time..."

Sasuke glanced at the girl next to him and took a long breath.

He didn't say much, but everyone present could feel Sasuke's mood at that time: Seeing that the enemy had left, and the last moment of victory was about to usher in, he was about to die due to accidental injuries from his companions. How desperate it was!

"Sakura just said what happened next, so I won't repeat it again."

"I understand..." Tsunade nodded, pursed her lips, and concluded, "This mission exceeded our prior expectations. Although the three tails were eventually taken away by Akatsuki, you can come back intact. It’s the best ending!”

According to the initial intelligence, the enemy was just a duo of Akatsuki.By sending Team [-] out, Tsunade was showing leniency to her enemies.With Haruno Sakura leading the team, there is no way they can defeat Akatsuki's team, not to mention the support of the Kiri Ninja!

To put it bluntly, even if something unexpected happened, Sakura and Naruto, who mastered the reverse psychic technique, would still have the means to escape.Even if Naruto loses control, there is still the last insurance left by the Fourth Hokage to reverse the situation.

Tsunade didn't expect that Akatsuki would actually go out in large numbers, and even the leader Payne would be killed in person!

This led to the fact that a mission that had many backup plans ended up with the danger of Hengsheng and Haruno Sakura being seriously injured.

After sending out a luxurious lineup like Team [-], and supported by Terumi Mei, in the end, Akatsuki took away the Three-Tails. It can only be said that Akatsuki invested more power. Tsunade did not want to blame or hold anyone responsible. Team [-] is lucky to be able to escape unscathed.

"Don't get too hung up on the failure of the mission. You've done your best, Sasuke." Tsunade also patted Sasuke on the shoulder and comforted, "Is there anything else you need to add?"

Sasuke opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally stopped: "Uh... forget it, it's okay."

Tsunade looked at him sideways, as if she had seen through his heart. After a few seconds, she smiled and said, "Okay! You can go, too. I want to talk to her next. Go back and rest early... Yes Whatever it is, let’s talk about it tomorrow!”

She pushed Sasuke and walked him out of the Hokage's office.

When he walked out of the Hokage Building, he saw Naruto waiting for him across the street.

Sasuke smiled slightly: "Let's go and eat!"

"Don't wait for her?"

Sasuke shook his head: "Hokage-sama has something to do with her. Leave her alone, where are we going to eat? I'm warning you, don't mention Ichiraku Ramen again!"

"Huh? I was just about to say Ichiraku Ramen..."

"..."

Under the setting sun, the figures of the teenagers gradually faded away.

The Fifth Hokage stood by the window of the Hokage's office, watching the two people leaving, turned to look at Uchiha Sakura again, and sighed slightly.

Clone a clone?

My seemingly well-behaved disciple is actually an unstable master at heart, so he is trying to make some trouble for me...

Tsunade actually knew that Sakura had some little secrets of her own that she couldn't see, but she always thought that Sakura was practicing some secret techniques that were not easy to reveal to others, which ended up costing her a life.

Human experimentation and human cloning are actually nothing. Tsunade has been in power for so long, and some of the directions of public opinion have also been deflected under her control. After all, this kind of thing was passed down from the second generation Hokage himself, but the problem is Haruno It's not just Sakura's death, but she must be brought back to Konoha openly and asked to help wipe her butt!

Really...

Uchiha Sakura raised her eyebrows, feeling subtly that she seemed to be disliked.

"The Fifth Hokage..." She pulled up a chair and Shi Shiran sat down.

"Just call me master." Tsunade also sat back in her seat and rubbed her temples, "After all, you are also her clone."

"'Was' yes."

The girl stretched out her index finger, shook it firmly, and emphasized the word "once".

"Okay, okay, it used to be, but it's not now." Tsunade raised her hands in surrender, "You and her are two people, so what?"

"What I want is very simple." Uchiha Sakura straightened her waist and sat elegantly with a peaceful smile on her face.

Looking back at Lord Hokage quietly.

Sakura knew that Tsunade would never refuse a Kage-level, trustworthy ninja to join Konoha, especially at this moment when a master was in urgent need of control.

And she also needs an independent and recognized identity.

Uchiha Sakura must first prove that she is not a tool, but an independent person.

Uchiha Sakura inherited her true self's frankness, and Tsunade did not mince words: "One identity, it's easy."

"The village can give you the establishment of Konoha jounin, arrange for you to be an Uchiha orphan, and give you all the favorable treatment, permissions, etc. I can give you my sincerity, and then what?"

Uchiha Sakura frowned, leaned forward slightly, and asked in confusion: "Then what? I don't think there is anything wrong with this."

"I think you haven't grasped the key to the problem at all." The Fifth Hokage shook his head, "It's one thing for the village to give you an identity, but it's another thing whether you can get an identity recognized by others."

The girl was slightly taken aback.

"It's like the guy from Akatsuki who always calls himself Uchiha Madara, but no one admits that he is Uchiha Madara yet, right? Because whether it's in terms of strength, style of conduct, or temperament, that guy is far from the murderous god-like man back then. Far away." Tsunade leaned back on the chair and said slowly, "Similarly, if I say you are another orphan of the Uchiha family, will others admit it?"

"You are oversimplifying the problem." The woman's sharp eyes were fixed on the girl's face, mercilessly pointing out the facts she ignored, "You said Haruno Sakura's voice, against her appearance, with her forbearance Even her personality is exactly the same as hers in several aspects. Do you think others will think you are the 'orphan of the Uchiha family' as claimed by the village, or the 'Haruno Sakura'?"

"Uh--!"

Uchiha Sakura opened her mouth to retort, but found herself speechless.

She bit her lip and said: "In the long run, these are not unsolvable problems. After getting along for a long time, everyone will realize sooner or later that I and I are two different people."

Tsunade sat quietly, looking back at her with a half-smile.

She said nothing, but the power of her eyes was comparable to the most powerful question.

Under Tsunade's gaze, Uchiha Sakura quickly realized how unrealistic her words were.

She thought about it.

"Well, I can wear a mask to hide my identity - then what's the point of all my efforts?!" The girl scratched her hair frantically.

"Or I can go for plastic surgery - if I don't work hard to make me so beautiful, who would want to have plastic surgery?!"

After wailing a few times, Uchiha Sakura achieved nothing except almost scratching her hair into a chicken coop.She put on an aggrieved expression and looked at Tsunade with watery eyes: "Okay, what do you think I should do, Hokage-sama?"

She also understands now, how can the benefits of real life be all to oneself without having to pay any price?I have inherited my powerful power, her superior appearance, and even some of her interpersonal relationships and status, so of course I have to pay a price.There is no free lunch in the world!
