Naruto's Review : First Viewer is Senju Tobirama?

Chapter 198: Chapter 198 : Poor Sakura!!



When people think of Haruno Sakura, the first thing that comes to mind is her two teammates, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke.

Aside from that, she only really stands out for her decent chakra control abilities.

As for her status as a top student during ninja school, it didn't get much attention.

To be blunt, the ninja world is a place where strength speaks for itself.

Sakura's theoretical knowledge might be good, but if she can't turn that knowledge into her own power, then it's basically useless.

Look at Naruto. He was always at the bottom of the theory tests, yet he still grew into a ninja with impressive strength, didn't he?

Compared to Naruto and Sasuke, Sakura just seemed too ordinary.

And just when everyone thought Sakura would stay ordinary, they were suddenly surprised when the announcement came that Sakura had become Tsunade's disciple.

Tsunade's standards were extremely strict, so for Sakura to catch her eye and be taken as a disciple meant her future achievements would definitely not be too bad.

At the very least, she would become a competent medical ninja.

"However, Tsunade is still out traveling (gambling) and not returning to the village. How can Sakura become her disciple?"

"This is indeed a problem."

Scratching his chin, the Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, quietly wondered how to bring Tsunade back to the village and have her accept Sakura as her apprentice.

As Hokage, Jiraiya didn't want to see such a promising ninja like Sakura be wasted.

Moreover, she is a rare medical ninja in the ninja world.

"Why don't we use the names of the Second or First Hokage to bring Tsunade back?"

Jiraiya murmured uncertainly.

The reason he was unsure was because of Tsunade's temper.

If she found out that he had used the names of her grandfather and great-grandfather to trick her into coming back, he might get punched a couple of times.

Just thinking about Tsunade's punches made Jiraiya feel a bit of pain in his ribs.

"No way, I can't take that risk."

With that thought, Jiraiya's expression became serious as he looked at the Third Hokage and said, "Old man, you don't want to see someone as talented as Sakura be wasted, do you?"

The Third Hokage didn't know what Jiraiya was thinking, but as the Hokage, he naturally didn't want to see talented ninjas go to waste.

"Of course I don't want that, Jiraiya. Do you have a plan?"

Jiraiya nodded and acted like he was in a difficult situation. "Yes, I have a way to bring Tsunade back, but..."

The Third Hokage immediately asked, "But what?"

"It would require using your name."

"My name? What use would that have?"

The Third Hokage was a little confused.

If his name were that effective, Tsunade and Jiraiya would never have left the village back then.

"It's definitely useful. Don't sell yourself short, old man. In our eyes, you're always our teacher. We respect you a lot. If you don't believe me, ask Orochimaru."

After saying that, Jiraiya turned and gave Orochimaru a crazy wink.

"You just said that if it weren't for Tobirama-sensei, I would've already been killed by Orochimaru. He respects me? You must be joking."

Seeing the Third Hokage's disbelief, Jiraiya quickly tried to explain for Orochimaru. "Orochimaru just wanted you to die like a hero. He couldn't stand seeing his brave teacher's end being dead on a sickbed. Isn't that right, Orochimaru?"

"Is that so?"

The Third Hokage looked at Orochimaru with suspicion.

Under Jiraiya's intense gestures, Orochimaru fought the urge to roll his eyes and nodded, replying, "Jiraiya is right."

"Alright, if that's the case, then try it in my name and see if Tsunade will come back. Personally, I don't think she will. The last time we asked her to come back, she didn't."

"Times are different now, old man. Don't worry, Tsunade will definitely come back."

"I hope so."

[After Sakura prepared the antidote and healed Kankuro, Gaara's situation had already become hopeless.]

[Next, Chiyo and the Konoha team caught up with Sasori and Deidara.]

[Since the enemy split into two groups, Sasori began a luxurious battle with Chiyo and Sakura—a man fighting two women.]

"Has Sakura become this strong? She can actually fight against this puppeteer?"

In the office, Naruto watched Sakura, who was about to fight Sasori, with a look of awe.

The reason Sakura in the current world was so weak was because she didn't have Tsunade as a mentor, putting her at the bottom among the Konoha Twelve.

During the Chunin Exams, Sakura could still fight evenly with Ino Yamanaka.

Now, Ino could easily defeat Sakura using her clan's secret techniques.

Even if Sakura had Inner Sakura, it wouldn't help.

The gap in strength isn't something a second personality can make up for.

Among the Konoha Twelve, the only real "commoners" are Sakura and Lee.

But Lee has Might Guy as his teacher, getting guidance from Guy in his training, while Sakura has nothing.

Relying on Kakashi to teach Sakura?

He doesn't even teach Naruto, so would he teach Sakura?

So, Sakura in the current world really has it hard—no background, no strength, and no real teacher.

"How about it, Mom? Can you teach Sakura?"

Naruto had a sudden idea and wanted his mom to teach Sakura.

In his opinion, with his mom's skills, even if Sakura couldn't reach the level shown on the screen, she would still be stronger than she is now, right?

"Don't worry, Naruto. Your perverted teacher is already thinking of ways to bring back Tsunade-sama. If that doesn't work, then we'll let Sakura learn from me," Kushina said as she patted Naruto's head, not outright refusing.

She knew her son, Naruto, liked a girl named Sakura.

But as far as she knew, Sakura liked Sasuke Uchiha, not her silly son.

Fortunately, she wasn't a narrow-minded person and wouldn't refuse to teach Sakura just because Sakura liked someone else.

However, her teaching style was different from Tsunade's. If she were to teach Sakura, she would probably focus on universal sealing techniques. After learning them, Sakura could work in the village's sealing department.

It would give her a higher status, better position, and more rewards than what Sakura has now.

As for the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, forget about it. Unless she married Naruto, even if Sakura were her disciple, she wouldn't teach them.

[Facing the duo of Chiyo and Sakura, Sasori swayed his tail with a cocky attitude, complaining that he didn't like waiting for others, but still gave Chiyo enough time to make a strategy.]

[After learning about Sakura's abilities, Chiyo came up with a strategy to use Sakura as a puppet, planning to rely on her monstrous strength to pull Sasori out of his hiding place in the Hiruko.]

[Under Chiyo's manipulation, Sakura dodged Sasori's hail of needles several times, and after getting close, she delivered a blow that shattered Hiruko, revealing his true form.]

[At this point, the true form of Sasori, the beauty streamer, finally appeared in front of Sakura and Chiyo.]
