Chapter Text

I'm back. I haven't updated my post in over a month because I'm just not in the mood. On November 10th, the day I last updated my post, my cousin passed away. I found out about it the next day. When I returned to China, I went to see her. At that time, I said I would go back to see her next year. I didn't expect that would be the last time we saw each other. We grew up together in the same yard until I went abroad to study. I couldn't go back for the funeral. I just felt empty and uncomfortable in my heart. Life is really impermanent. She was still young, and I couldn't write with a happy mood. On her 37th day after death, I dreamed of her. I checked, and found that the 37th day is the night when the soul returns to earth. I don't know if this is a coincidence or something else. Anyway, after saying goodbye in the dream, I felt that everything was settled. The dead are gone, and the living continue. Now I have regained my mood and started writing again, and I hope that those who read my articles will continue to feel happy.

The blazing sea of fire rushed towards Zabuza. Surprised, he quickly formed hand seals and released the Water Style: Water Impact Wave. However, as he was caught off guard, the power of this ninjutsu was unimaginable. Only a stream of water as thick as a bucket appeared and shot into the sea of fire.

This looked like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, so Bai's face changed drastically when faced with this unexpected change. He exclaimed in worry, and immediately jumped in front of Zabuza, and his bloodline limit was activated at the same time.

"Master Zabuza! Danger, Ice Release: Hyogando!"

A huge pale and transparent ice crystal appeared out of thin air, and the crystal clear ice shell blocked Bai and Zabuza like a shield, facing the sea of fire that continued to overwhelm them after the wave of water that swallowed Zabuza.

After the two collided, the sea of fire gradually extinguished and disappeared, and the ice escape turned into a large amount of water, dripping down. The ice shell continued to evaporate and melt rapidly, and its volume was reduced by more than 80% in an instant. However, no matter what, this wave of attack was blocked.

"Tsk!" The cherry-haired girl with a pair of rotating scarlet Sharingan eyes muttered to herself with dissatisfaction. "It's really not working when it's not my own body. Not only does it feel out of harmony and incompatible, I can't even exert one tenth of my strength!"

Apart from Minato who did not understand Uchiha Madara's strength and felt he had no way of evaluating it, the three members of the Sengoku group who were watching also looked surprised.

Izuna was surprised. "The scale and momentum of this look similar to Madara's usual Hao Huo Extinguishing, but I didn't expect the power to be so different. If it was a normal Madara, these two people would have been burned to charcoal long ago."

Hashirama stroked his chin and laughed cheerfully. "Well, after all, it's not Madara himself who's in the battle, so it's normal for his strength to be a little weakened. Although this weakening is really a bit tragic, haha, Madara probably won't be happy, but if I can go out and have some fun, then I'm willing to do it."

Tobirama narrowed his pomegranate red eyes slightly, watching the Sakura-madara fusion on the field, and analyzed thoughtfully. "It seems that this possession is either limited by the upper limit of the possessed person's own strength and cannot fight too much higher than the level, or this possession has not been completely integrated, so it cannot fully exert the possessed person's strength, or both situations are possible."

Although he knew nothing about the situation, Tobirama still used his sharp mind to guess the general possibility. He just didn't know whether this possession was a bloodline limit that was hidden by Sakura but suddenly erupted in a life-and-death crisis, or a new use and ability that was suddenly developed by the soul mate.

Minato thought the same thing and said in confusion, "Is this Sakura's bloodline limit? But isn't she a commoner? But I've never heard of soulmates being able to possess each other. If this is true, then the importance of soulmates must be raised even higher."

Minato's political acumen as the Hokage made him aware of the risks and potential of this, but deep down he was still full of anticipation. After all, the longer he lingered around Sakura as a spirit and the more he saw the beauty and splendor of the world of the living, the more Minato wanted to return to the real world, not just because of Naruto, but also because it was a human's instinctive desire for life.

Not to mention the various thoughts of the Spirit Team behind them, on the field, Zabuza quickly retreated, and after keeping some distance, he re-examined the little girl whom he had originally ignored. Looking at the arrogant expression on the little girl's face, which was completely different from before, and the pair of Sharingans, he couldn't help but ask in caution and surprise.

"Who are you? You're not that little girl from before! How do you have the Sharingan?"

Madara, who was occupying Sakura's body, said arrogantly, "You are not qualified to know my name. It is enough to know that you will die here today."

Zabuza was also a rebellious and arrogant person, but he was confronted by a guy who was even more arrogant than himself. He became furious and said angrily.

"Humph, you want to kill me? Who do you think you are! I am the great Mist Hidden Demon, Momochi Zabuza! I am not comparable to a coward like you who can only hide in the body of a little girl and not see the light of day!"

Zabuza took the beheading sword and slashed at the cherry-haired girl with force like thunder.

"All those who called themselves masters in front of me are dead! When your master, I, was galloping on the battlefield, you didn't even know where I was!"

Madara taunted back without any hesitation, and habitually wanted to take out his Uchiha Legion Fan and long sickle to fight back, but the next second he found nothing and then he remembered that Sakura didn't have these things on her. The only weapon he had in his hand was a small kunai, he didn't even have an ordinary samurai sword.

Madara let out another unpleasant sound and could only leap back to dodge. Not to mention that it was impossible for a kunai to win against a beheading sword, Sakura herself was not strong enough to withstand it.

There are natural physical strength differences between adults and children, and between men and women. As a little girl, Sakura cannot change this basic physical attribute even if she is possessed by Madara. Using physical skills in hand-to-hand combat is like hitting a rock with an egg, and will only lead to her own death.

Not only that, Madara was unable to completely control Sakura's body. If Madara knew the name of the disease, he would know that this was no different from a patient in the middle stage of ALS. The body could not move freely, and it was extremely stiff everywhere. The body's flexibility was greatly reduced. If Madara did not have rich combat experience, he felt that he would have capsized in the gutter.

Madara could only keep their distance and decide the outcome with ninjutsu, but he had a large amount of chakra in vain, and once possessed, he would be unable to use it. No matter how much chakra Sakura had, he could at most use a little more of his own chakra than Sakura, it was like pouring dumplings out of a teapot - he just couldn't pour it out!

Madara felt that he had never fought such a frustrating battle in his life. The scum in front of him was obviously not strong, but he just couldn't deal with it. If it were the real him, he would have dealt with it long ago.

Not to mention the external difficulties, there are also internal troubles. Madara can clearly feel that his senses are divided into two. On one side, he is facing everything in the outside world and fighting against Zabuza. On the other side, Madara can see himself in a dark and empty place. Standing in front of him is Haruno Sakura. She holds her cheeks, looks panicked, and keeps screaming and questioning.

"Ah! Who are you? Why am I here? Where is this place? What on earth happened? Wait, is this the depths of my soul? Then why are you in my body? Get out now!"

Obviously, he came to help the little girl Sakura, but she had been resisting him in her heart, constantly trying to exclude him from her body, and her screams gave Madara a headache.

Fortunately, he had a strong combat awareness and high strength, otherwise, he would have been dead if he had been distracted like this.

But although Madara didn't intend to pay attention to Sakura's screams, as she resisted more and more, Madara could feel that his body and Haruno Sakura's body were becoming less and less compatible. After being almost hit by Zabuza several times, Madara became angry and yelled back in his heart.

"Haruno Sakura! You ungrateful little girl, I'm helping you and you're still screaming like a ghost. Can you please stop making trouble? Do you want to die here?"

Ying shrank back after being scolded, and finally shut up. She couldn't see outside at all, and didn't know what was going on outside. She only knew that she suddenly appeared in a dark place for no apparent reason, and then she suddenly realized that she was in the depths of her soul, and the man in front of her had taken over her body. Ying was panicking. Her body was being used by someone else, so what should she do as the owner? Therefore, Ying had to make a fuss, especially since the man ignored her, which made Ying even more scared. Until this moment, the man finally spoke, saying that he was here to help her, although his tone was very bad, Ying calmed down a little.

Calming down, Sakura finally had time to take a good look at the man in front of her. He was much taller than her, and looked to be about the same height as Kakashi Sensei. She just barely reached his chest. He had long, wild black hair draped behind him, and was wearing ancient red armor. His right face was mostly blocked by his bangs. He looked quite old, probably around thirty years old, but he was surprisingly very handsome. From Sakura's aesthetic point of view, the most important thing was that Sakura only just realized that his eyes were actually Sharingan!

Looking more closely, I saw the Uchiha clan emblem with a round fan on the back of his clothes. So, is he an Uchiha?

Sakura asked cautiously. "Who are you? Why are you in my body? What's going on outside? You said you were helping me, so are you fighting Zabuza?"

Sakura is still smart. This man said he would help her and even scolded her, asking if he wanted to die here. The only possibility is that he is fighting Zabuza on her behalf. Sakura still wants to save her own life. And not only hers, but also the safety of Sasuke, Kakashi-sensei, and Naruto, as well as the life of Dazna-san. With so many lives added together, Sakura's tone has a little flattering.

Banbizi snorted, speechless about this little girl who was arrogant at first but respectful later. Forget it, at least he knew that a man of insight is a wise man, he spoke proudly.

"I am Uchiha Madara. As for how I possessed you, I have no idea. You were the one who summoned me in the first place. Don't you have any clue at all? Just cooperate with me so that I can deal with Zabuza sooner."

Sakura was shocked and looked at the man's face carefully again. As expected, she found a sense of familiarity. When Mizuki teacher attacked Naruto, Sakura vaguely remembered that she seemed to have seen this face, but because they disappeared very quickly, Sakura had no impression of it. But now, he appeared again and occupied her body.

Sakura's face was filled with shock and confusion. "Uchiha Madara? You are Uchiha Madara? The Uchiha Madara who founded Konoha with the First Generation? And also my..." Soul mate?

Sakura never expected to meet one of her soul mates in such a situation, and that person turned out to be the famous number one rebel ninja of Konoha - Uchiha Madara, the Shura of the Ninja World.

This instantly put a lot of pressure on Sakura. After all, she had been taught since she was a child that Uchiha Madara was a terrifying demon king, and his deeds were the best weapon to scare disobedient children. Sakura was also scared by her mother like this several times when she was a child. Even after she grew up, this man's legend remained unchanged. If he was not her soul mate, Sakura would definitely stay away from Uchiha Madara and stay as far away from him as possible. Although under normal circumstances, she would not have any intersection with this man. After all, no matter how legendary he was, Uchiha Madara was already dead.

But what she didn't expect was that Uchiha Madara was actually her soul mate, and they could meet in this way. Sakura felt like a mixture of emotions. On the one hand, she was a little afraid and uneasy because of Uchiha Madara's accumulated power. On the other hand, she was curious about her soul mate. On the other hand, she might still have a little vanity and pride of a girl. After all, her soul mate was Uchiha Madara, such a powerful man. As a ninja, who doesn't have a strong complex?

Madara knew very well the few words that Sakura omitted. He lowered his head and crossed his arms as he looked at Sakura, and even pointed it out directly.

"That's right, you and I are soul mates. I don't know what it is about you, a little girl, that makes God think you are worthy of me, but since it's already been established, I can't change it. But how can you be so weak! You actually need me to clean up your mess!"

Sakura knows that she is weak, but she is working hard to become stronger. Besides, compared to Uchiha Madara, everyone is a weakling, unless they are her other soul mates - the previous Hokage, or the Sandaime and the Kages from other villages.

Uchiha Madara still despises her! He actually said that she is not worthy! Well, although it may not be a good match, it is also her right to say it! She did not despise this old man who is almost a hundred years older than her!

Ying couldn't help but pout unhappily and muttered very quietly, "It's not like I want you and I to be soulmates, and I didn't ask you to help me."

Madara had very good hearing. He reached out and pinched Sakura's mouth, snorting and laughing, "How dare you pout? Don't think I didn't hear you. I helped you, but you don't even appreciate it. Don't you even know how to say thank you?"

Sakura felt a little pain from being pinched. It was obvious that this straight man, Madara, had no idea what was going on. Sakura was about to cry. She grabbed Madara's hand and tried to push it away, accusing him in a muffled voice.

"You are a bully! I don't want to thank you! If you have the guts, just leave my body! I don't want your help anymore!"

After her hand was taken away, Madara saw a circle of red marks on Sakura's lips, and he suddenly felt a little guilty. He never teased children, so how could he know the limits? Besides, Sakura's skin was really delicate, and Madara could still feel the delicate and soft touch of Sakura's lips.

Madara suddenly had the urge to wipe his hands, otherwise the feeling would be completely lingering and make him feel a little uncomfortable.

Madara looked at Sakura, who was puffing up her cheeks and looking up at him, and the obvious increase in repulsion, and felt that as a mature man, he should be more generous and not bother with such a childish little girl.

He snorted, his tone arrogant.

"Stop messing around. Without me, there's no way you can beat Zabuza."

Sakura still looked stubborn, but the reduced repulsion let Madara know that the little girl had listened to him and just refused to give in. This stubborn temper was quite like his.

Madara was distracted and had already noticed that the battle situation outside was at a stalemate. He didn't know how long this possession state would last, so it would be best to find a way to end it quickly. Therefore, the degree of fit must be improved a little bit more. The key was this little girl.

Madara asked again. "You really don't know why I'm in your body? Although we are soul mates, I've never heard of a soul mate being able to possess his or her own soul mate. Could this be your bloodline limit? The strength I'm showing now is less than 10%, and the key lies with you. It seems that you haven't completely given me your body authority, so I can't fully exert my strength."

Sakura did not go against Madara this time. After all, this was a matter of life and death. She thought about it and told Madara about how she suddenly felt the light spot and then grabbed it.

"Oh, that voice was Li Ying! She was the one who told me! She was the one who guided me!" Ying shouted affirmatively.

"Riying? Who is Riying?" Madara frowned. He didn't sense the presence of another person here.

Ying blushed. "It's my inner self. I created a personality for myself and we often talk to each other."

When she was a child, she was often bullied and had no friends. It was at that time that Ri-Ying appeared. Although Ino later redeemed her, Ri-Ying did not disappear.

Before Madara could say anything about this, a voice exactly like Sakura's suddenly sounded out of nowhere.

[Not really. Although I am you, I am also a piece of inherited memory.]

Madara immediately tried to find the source of the sound, but Sakura shouted in surprise. "Sakura, you're here, where are you? Come out!"

A shadow with black and white lines suddenly appeared. She was holding Sakura with her left hand and Madara with her right hand, but the two of them had not noticed this at all before.

Madara stared at the black and white shadow in the shape of Haruno Sakura and subconsciously wanted to pull his hand away. Although he had no sense of reality in his hand, he still felt a little uncomfortable. But Sakura spoke again.

[If you break free from my hand, you will be immediately expelled from Sakura's body. ]

Madara then stopped moving and just stared at Ri-Sakura sharply. "You are the one who linked me to Haruno Sakura and allowed me to possess her? What exactly are you?"

The clear voice of Ri-Yakura echoed in this inner world. [I said, I am Sakura, but I am also a piece of inherited memory. Before the bloodline limit is awakened, I am just Ri-Yakura. Now, Sakura's bloodline limit is activated, and I am the guide who guides Sakura on how to use her own bloodline limit.]

Sakura and Madara's eyes widened at the same time.

Sakura pointed at herself in surprise, excited and agitated. "Huh?! I have a bloodline limit? I actually have a bloodline limit! What is that? What is my ability?"

Madara raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Haruno Sakura has a bloodline limit? Could this possession be her bloodline limit ability?"

Ri-Sakura nodded. [That's right, but possession is not the ability of Sakura's bloodline limit, but only one of its forms of application. The official name of this bloodline limit is Heroic Spirit Descent.]

"Goddess of Heroic Spirits?" Sakura murmured the name of the bloodline limit, looking at Ri-Sakura curiously, waiting for further explanation.

Ri Ying continued. [This bloodline limit is essentially a Yin-Yang escape. The bloodline limit summoner is a living person, Yang, and the dead Heroic Spirit is Yin. The bloodline limit summoner can communicate between the Yin and Yang worlds and bring the dead back to the world through the divine descent, becoming his own exclusive Heroic Spirit for him to command and fight. The Heroic Spirit can be no different from a living person, but there is no need to worry about life and death. The Heroic Spirit will return to the Pure Land again until the summoner dies.]

Ying opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment. She felt like she had a lot of questions, but she didn't know what to ask.

Madara frowned. "So, that summoning was the Heroic Spirit Advent? Tobirama found that summoning technique from somewhere. He said it was an incomplete technique, and it felt like something was missing."

Sakura nodded. [Yes, the summoning technique was actually the Yin-Yang Style summoning technique. What was missing was a summoner with the bloodline limit of the Heroic Spirit. Sakura, at that critical moment of life and death, happened to awaken this bloodline limit. However, due to insufficient chakra, her ability could not support you to stay in the real world, but you could not return to the Pure Land either, so you were stuck on the edge.]

"Eh? What does this mean?" Sakura was shocked. Was it what she thought it meant? She held her cheek and looked at Uchiha Madara for an answer.

Madara snorted and nodded his chin, "That's what you meant. You summoned us but you can't make us appear continuously. We've been your ghosts for several months! We can't do anything but stare blankly every day. It's all your fault that you are so weak and unskilled!"

Sakura didn't listen to Madara's accusation. Her mind was full of five grown men acting as her backstabbing for several months. Didn't that mean all her privacy was exposed? The more Sakura thought about it, the redder her face became. Steam was coming out of her head. Her reputation and innocence were at stake!

Sakura was so embarrassed that she went crazy and furious. She screamed and pounced on Uchiha Madara with bared fangs and claws.

"Ah! Perverts! You big perverts! Perverted voyeurs! Go to hell!"

Madara wanted to dodge immediately, but Sakura blatantly pulled him away to prevent him from dodging. After Madara staggered, he was caught by Sakura.

Facing Sakura who was like a mad cat, it would be inappropriate for Madara to beat her. If he didn't beat her, he would have to endure all the scratching from Sakura who was too ashamed and angry. He was speechless and angry, feeling extremely miserable.

"Hey, what are you doing! Who is the perverted peeping Tom? You summoned us here yourself, so you should blame yourself. Your claws are so sharp, are you a cat? You dare to scratch me? Ah, you dare to bite me? You won't obey me unless you are beaten, right?"

Madara glared at Sakura, who was grinding her teeth with his wrist in her mouth. He could not bear it any longer, so he pinched her mouth and forced her to let go. Then he turned Sakura's body over and rudely spanked her little butt.

"I told you to bite and scratch people, where did you learn these shrewish habits? We didn't mean to follow you. Besides, even if we saw you, so what? How old are you? You're a little kid with no breasts and no butt, and you're ashamed of yourself. Even if I take a step back, I'm your soul mate, so it doesn't matter if they saw you."

Sakura was stunned, she couldn't believe it and felt extremely ashamed. She was spanked by a man. After she was six years old, even her father had never spanked her like this. Why did Uchiha Madara do this? Sakura burst into tears.

"You're a bully! You actually spanked me! Even my father doesn't spank me like this, it's obviously you who are wrong! And you blame me? You also dislike my poor figure, Uchiha Madara, you shameless old pervert, I'm not done with you!"

Madara became furious and hit her several more times before stopping. Looking at Sakura, who was crying loudly in his arms with a wronged look on her face, his head hurt even more. Fortunately, the logic in this spiritual space did not affect his ability to divide his attention and fight at the same time. Otherwise, with such a mess inside, he would have to continue fighting outside, which would be really difficult.

Uchiha Madara felt that he was very wronged, he was summoned inexplicably, and then drafted into the army to fight for others, but the culprit, the little girl, didn't appreciate it at all. If it was about peeking, he was not the only one who saw it, so why should he be the only one to take the blame?

Madara felt that he should just walk away. Anyway, Sakura had just said that once the summoner died, they could return to the Pure Land. He could just let go and wait for Sakura to die. Then he would go back to the Pure Land. Without his soul mate, Obito would naturally continue to focus on the Infinite Tsukuyomi cause. He only had to wait for the day when he would be reborn by Obito's reincarnation.

But when Madara looked at Sakura, who was sobbing in his arms, he just couldn't make up his mind to leave. After a while, he sighed and looked at Sakura with a heavy face.

"This little girl is crazy. I can't rely on her for the time being. Do you have any way to enable me to exert my full strength? Not all of it, but a little more, enough for me to deal with Zabuza."

Ri Sakura didn't have a good face towards Madara either. After all, she and Sakura were of one mind, but her own life was more important. Madara was fighting for her and Sakura, and Sakura must also know the knowledge of inherited memory.

Li Ying replied. [The summoner and the Heroic Spirit must be in sync with each other and their bodies and souls must be united in order to unleash the full power of the Heroic Spirit. Of course, it also has a lot to do with the summoner's own strength. At Ying's current level, even if you are in sync with each other and your bodies and souls are united, you can only unleash half of your strength at best.]

As the person who connects Sakura and Madara, Ri-Sakura is well aware of the gap in strength between the two.

"Mind-to-mind communication, unity of body and soul? How can this be done? With this little girl? Impossible." Ban had a strange look on his face and shook his head.

It would be impossible for him and this little girl to have telepathic connection. Not to mention the huge difference in age, experience, thoughts and so on between them, the fact that they are in such a quarrel now, even though it was Sakura who was quarreling with him unilaterally, makes it even more impossible.

As for the unity of body and soul, does that mean his thoughts are impure? Why do you think this sounds shameless?

Ri-Sakura also knew that this was asking too much, but Sakura and Madara had an innate advantage, which was something that only the Heroic Spirits who descended to the Earth with a bloodline limit could come across.

[Fortunately, Ying and you are soul mates. You are born with a soul connection, which is equivalent to telepathy in disguise. As for the unity of body and soul, it requires the body and soul to reach a state of harmonious resonance and mutual fusion. You are both soul bodies now, and you are natural soul mates. As long as you can open your hearts to each other, this spiritual connection should still be possible. ]

Ban felt it was even more unreliable. He couldn't let go of any spiritual thoughts. The idea of spiritual communication was even more creepy. Forget it, he had better rely on himself.

Seeing Madara's disapproving look, Sakura knew that he didn't believe it and didn't intend to try. But she knew better than Sakura that without Sakura's cooperation, not only would Madara not be able to display his full strength, he would soon be repelled by Sakura. By then, Sakura would not have any extra chakra to have another soul mate possess her body through the Heroic Spirit Descendants, and it would be completely game over.

So, Madara is not the focus, Sakura is. Anyway, historically, summoners have always been the dominant ones, and they are the ones who control and drive the Heroic Spirits.

Ri Ying pulled Ying's hand, [Ying, now is not the time to cry, cheer up, you need to be in sync with Madara, otherwise we will all die. ]

Sakura still listened to Ri-Sakura's words. After all, that was her. Sometimes it represented her emotions, and sometimes it represented her rationality. Everything was for the purpose of making Haruno Sakura live a better life.

Madara saw Riying suddenly merge into Sakura's body. When Riying let go of his hand, Sakura took Riying's place and held his hand. Her emerald green eyes were misty and ethereal, and countless mysterious characters suddenly appeared around her, like a seal.

The circular seal surrounded the two of them. Madara frowned, not knowing whether he should shake off Sakura's hand. Then, the next moment, a white light appeared, and Madara felt that his vision and perception were constantly expanding. The original sense of alienation from the real world was also disappearing, and all the sluggishness and inflexibility were swept away, as if Sakura's body was his body.

The heart is beating, the blood is flowing faster, the brain is highly concentrated, the nerves are extremely excited, and every inch of skin is extremely sensitive. Madara can feel every sensation of Sakura's body, and can also feel her chakra flowing rapidly. At the same time, his chakra is also flowing in resonance at the same frequency. The chakras of the two slowly blend, and finally connect with each other. An indescribable feeling of comfort hits Madara, and every part of his body feels extremely comfortable and happy, as if he is floating in the air.

Madara's face changed drastically, and he almost wanted to break free from Sakura's hand immediately, but after realizing that his strength had finally recovered to about half, he still resisted the urge to break away from this connection immediately.

But the look in his eyes when he looked at Zabuza was filled with extreme resentment. "Scum, it's time to end it!"

The huge fire that was spewed out this time looked similar to the previous one, but it made Zabuza feel the threat of death. He retreated while releasing the Great Waterfall Technique, but the flames tore apart all the water flows like a ferocious beast. Bai stood in front of Zabuza again and released the Ice Escape, but this time even the ice wall could not stop the invasion of the flames. In the end, the fire directly engulfed both Zabuza and Bai.

The four spirits behind were also surprised at Madara's sudden outburst of power, Izuna asked.

"What's going on? How come Brother Ban's strength has suddenly recovered a lot? What happened?"

"Is it related to Sakura? Or has he been possessed for so long that he's gotten used to it?" Minato guessed.

Hashirama scratched his head. He felt that Madara, who possessed Sakura, looked a little strange. He seemed to be feeling awkward and blushing. What was going on?

Tobirama narrowed his eyes, glanced at Madara, then turned his gaze to Zabuza and Haku.

Neither of them died, but they had extensive burns on their bodies, which were definitely first-degree serious injuries. Zabuza and Haku supported each other and faced Madara vigilantly. Zabuza used the Mist Concealment Technique, and soon a thick fog spread, obscuring their figures. After the thick fog, the two had disappeared, obviously retreating and escaping.

Madara did not chase after them. If it were a normal situation, he would have chased after them, but not in this situation. Rather, he was relieved to see Zabuza and Haku retreat.

Deep in Sakura's soul, Madara felt as if he was burned by fire. He immediately broke away from Sakura's hand, stood up, and then took two steps back. He looked at Sakura in shock and anger, and there was a hint of shame that was not noticed by anyone.

"Do you know what you just did?"

Sakura's face was flushed, her eyes were confused, the feeling just now was very good, is it so comfortable to have a spiritual connection or a spiritual connection? She looked at Uchiha Madara who seemed to be furious and asked in confusion.

"What? What did I do? Isn't it just spiritual connection? We just had a spiritual connection, so you can also use your strength, right? Unfortunately, my chakra is not enough, and there is only a short minute. Hey, Madara, did you defeat Zabuza? How much strength did you use just now?"

Facing Sakura, who looked excited, innocent and completely ignorant of the world, Madara was completely speechless. No matter how Sakura felt about spiritual connection or mental connection, to him, this was pure sexual pleasure!

Madara felt like vomiting blood. He walked around in circles like a cat chasing its tail. In the end, he could only yell at Sakura angrily.

"From now on, you are not allowed to use spiritual communication, and you are not allowed to let others possess you. Do you hear me?"

Sakura looked at the aggressive Madara and became unhappy, "Why are you so fierce? It's not like I want to find someone to possess me or have spiritual intercourse with. I just want to defeat Zabuza. Do you think I want to have spiritual intercourse with you? Humph, at worst I can find someone else later."

A vein popped up on Ban's forehead. "Don't you understand what I'm saying? I told you not to use it again! Do you dare to look for someone else? No!"

Sakura wouldn't listen. Besides, judging from Madara's behavior, he must have defeated Zabuza. So why did she keep this guy in her heart? Was she trying to make things difficult for herself?

Sakura's heart moved at will, and Madara immediately felt a strong repulsive force. This time, he could no longer stay in the depths of Sakura's soul.

Madara was so angry that he was still cursing before being thrown out, "You are a dead girl who uses people and then throws them aside. You are not allowed to use divine possession and divine communication. Do you hear me? If you really want to use them, then come to me!"

The last words left by Madara were a reluctant compromise, but Sakura was already angry and secretly made up her mind not to look for Uchiha Madara again next time.

Sakura took over her own body, and immediately felt dizzy, exhausted, sore all over, and her chakra was depleted. So, as soon as Sakura regained control of her body, she collapsed and fell into a coma.

Facing the Konoha ninjas lying on the ground, Dazna looked left and right with an embarrassed look on his face. This place was far from his home, and he was worried about leaving four unconscious wounded people behind while he went to call for help. However, he could not lift four people by himself, so he could only sit there and wait for someone to wake up.

When they saw Uchiha Madara appear in front of them again, the spirit group behind them, after confirming that Sakura and Kakashi were not in any danger, surrounded Madara with curiosity and inquiring eyes.

Hashirama asked impatiently. "Madara, Madara, how did you possess Sakura? Tell me, I want to try it next time."

Madara, however, jumped up like a stressed cat. "Hashirama, don't even think about it. I won't allow it!"

Hashirama blinked. "Eh? Madara, your reaction is too big, isn't it? Do you want to monopolize Sakura-chan? So cunning~" Hashirama pouted.

Madara's face flushed unconsciously, but his tone was extremely angry, "Absolutely not! There is no good in this kind of possession! I told that little girl not to use it again in the future, and you guys should just give up on this idea!"

Tobirama narrowed his eyes and said with suspicion. "Madara, your attitude is very suspicious. It seems that you have some understanding of this possession?"

When Madara looked at Tobirama, his expression immediately darkened. If there was one person he least wanted to know what was going on, it would definitely be Senju Tobirama.

Madara's face turned cold, "I won't tell you, you can find it yourself if you have the ability."

Tobirama glared at him, but Madara ignored him. However, seeing that his brother Izuna was also curious, he suddenly had a headache and said directly, "Izuna, don't ask. I won't tell you."

"Oh, okay~" Izuna shrugged.

Tobirama was no longer angry this time. Even Izuna didn't say anything, so it seemed that there really was some hidden secret. Tobirama looked at the unconscious Sakura thoughtfully. If she could choose him to possess next time, perhaps he would know.

This is also what Minato, Hashirama and Izuna think. Madara is being mysterious, which will only make them more curious.

Chapter 12 : chapter 12

Chapter Text

"Sakura!" Kakashi suddenly opened his eyes and struggled to get up, but the depletion of chakra made his body extremely heavy and weak. He could only anxiously try to search for Sakura and the others.

How are Sakura and the other two doing? How long has he been unconscious? He shouldn't have continued this mission in the first place. Before Kakashi's anxiety and self-blame reached their peak, Dazna appeared in front of him.

"Oh, Kakashi-san, you're finally awake." He looked relieved.

"Dazna-san? You're not dead?" Kakashi was a little confused. He felt that after he fell into a coma, Dazna's death was inevitable.

"Haha, thanks to you teachers and students, I survived." Dazna laughed.

At this time, Kakashi also saw Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke lying on the ground not far away, their lives unknown. His heart tightened instantly, and in his excitement, Kakashi even managed to stand up shakily and rushed towards Sakura.

"Sakura! Naruto, what happened to Sasuke and the others?"

"Kakashi-san, don't worry, they are all fine, they are just unconscious." Dazna said quickly.

Although Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't completely put his mind at ease until he carefully checked Sakura and the other two and confirmed that they were all fine. Then, he was immediately confused and turned to look at Dazna.

"Dazna-san, what's going on? What happened after I fell unconscious? What about Zabuza? Why did he give up chasing you and not kill us?"

Speaking of this, Dazna perked up. "Kakashi-san, you don't know, your student, the pink-haired girl, I remember her name was Sakura, right? She was so powerful that she beat Zabuza and that pretty boy who looked like a girl away. She's so amazing! She's worthy of being a Konoha ninja, even a child is so strong."

Kakashi's eyes widened, and he felt like he was hearing a fairy tale. "You said it was Sakura who beat Zabuza away? How is that possible?"

Dazna was immediately unhappy. "Of course it's true! I saw it with my own eyes. Oh, and her eyes have become the same as yours. And both eyes have red tomoe patterns. She has one more than you, Kakashi-san. Is this some secret technique of your Konoha?"

Dazna, who is not a ninja, has no idea about Sharingan, so he said it easily, but Kakashi felt even more confused. Sakura has Sharingan? It would be more believable to tell him that it was Sasuke who suddenly opened his eyes, so Kakashi subconsciously refuted.

"Dazna-san, you are wrong, it is Sasuke who has those eyes, how could Sakura have them?" She is not of Uchiha descent.

Dazna was unhappy again. "Oh! Kakashi-san, why don't you believe me? I can't tell the difference between a boy and a girl. It's Sakura, the pink-haired girl with these eyes. The sea of fire she spewed out was spectacular. It was huge. I saw that the two who wanted to kill me were badly burned."

Kakashi covered his head with his hands because of a headache, and even suddenly suspected that he was not awake, but was dreaming or trapped in an illusion. "Sea of fire? Sakura doesn't know fire-type ninjutsu, right? And, does she have fire attribute?"

Kakashi really felt that Dazna's words were getting more and more outrageous, so Kakashi activated his left Sharingan directly, trying to figure out whether all this was an illusion. He also formed a seal with his hand to break the illusion, but after all the operations, the scene in front of him did not change.

He used the kunai to slash the back of his hand again. The real pain made it impossible for him to remain calm this time. "It's not an illusion, nor is it a dream. So, this is real?"

Dazna was also a little confused. "Kakashi-san, what are you doing? Why are you hurting yourself all of a sudden? Of course, everything I said is true."

Kakashi smiled bitterly. "Dazna-san, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that what you said really makes it hard for me to reconcile all this with Sakura. Besides you, did Naruto and Sasuke see it too?"

Dazna shook his head. "No, Sakura showed her skills only after Naruto and Sasuke fell unconscious. But it's a bit strange to say that. She was suppressed by Zabuza at the beginning and had no chance to fight back. I thought I was dead, but I didn't expect her to become so powerful all of a sudden."

"Suddenly becoming powerful?" Kakashi frowned. He felt that nothing made sense. But now, it was also a fact that Zabuza retreated. Perhaps only by waiting for Sakura to wake up could he know what was going on. Kakashi rubbed his temples with a little distress.

The spirit group behind the scenes also knew that Kakashi would definitely not give up on finding the truth. For a moment, they didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. If Kakashi knew about the existence of Uchiha Madara, they didn't know what action he would take.

They also didn't know if Sakura would remember everything after waking up from the possession. If she did, would she know that it wasn't just Uchiha Madara, but the four of them had been following her around? In the end, it was still Madara's fault. It was all because he refused to reveal a single word about the possession.

Not long after, Naruto and Sasuke also woke up. Both of them asked what happened afterwards. Dazna wanted to tell them the truth, but was stopped by Kakashi. He gave a vague explanation. Naruto and Sasuke just thought that Kakashi sensei woke up after they were unconscious and then drove Zabuza away, so they didn't think much about it.

Sakura was still unconscious. Naruto and Sasuke thought she was knocked unconscious by Zabuza. They showed some concern and confirmed that she was okay, then they felt relieved. Then they could finally move on. Kakashi was weak all over, so Naruto and Sasuke carried him, while Sakura was carried on Dazna's back.

The group walked for nearly forty minutes before arriving at Dazna's house. Dazna's house was not big, with only one empty room, which was originally intended for Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke to live in. Sakura and Dazna's daughter Tsunami could squeeze into one room.

But now, in order to focus on caring for the two injured, Sakura and Kakashi were temporarily placed in the same room, and Dazna's grandson Inari temporarily moved to live with his mother Tsunami, and his room was given to Naruto and Sasuke.

After Kakashi was put on the bed by Naruto and Sasuke, he lay there weakly. Tsunami settled Sakura down and covered her with the quilt. She looked left at Kakashi, then at Sakura, and asked.

"Teacher, are you okay? How is the child? Do you need me to call a doctor?"

Kakashi spoke the truth. "Not very well. I may have to lie down for about a week. As for Sakura, I checked and she seems to be fine. She is probably just weak and chakra depleted. She will be fine after a few days of rest."

Haixiao was relieved, "That's good, then you guys take a rest first, I will bring you medicine, water and food later."

Kakashi also gave instructions to Naruto and Sasuke. "Zabuza probably won't be here this week, so I'll ask you to protect Dazna-san for the time being. You should be able to handle ordinary hooligans and bandits, and I, the teacher, will recover as soon as possible."

Naruto nodded, Sasuke acquiesced, Naruto looked at Sakura worriedly. "Kakashi sensei, will Sakura be okay?"

Kakashi narrowed his crescent eyes and smiled in relief. "Of course, Sakura will be fine. She won't be unconscious for long."

Naruto and Sasuke were relieved, and they followed Tsunami, Dazna and the others out.

The door was closed and the room suddenly became quiet. Kakashi waited for a while, and after making sure that no one would come in for the time being, he propped himself up, moved to Sakura's side, lowered his head, and bent over. Kakashi gently stroked Sakura's bruised face, his eyes full of pity and guilt, and whispered.

"I'm sorry, Ying. I shouldn't have been so careless and failed to protect you. I made you suffer."

The five spirits behind him sat cross-legged beside Sakura's quilt. When Kakashi moved over, his position happened to overlap with Tobirama's. After Tobirama was forced to stand up and give up his seat, he snorted unhappily.

"What's the point of apologizing! You shouldn't have continued this mission in the first place. Not only is you unqualified as a teacher, you can't even protect your soul mate!"

Madara crossed his arms and said mercilessly, "If it weren't for me, Sakura would be dead now, and even Kakashi would be in danger."

Minato sighed, "Kakashi must be feeling bad, he didn't mean it. Not saving Obito and Rin has become a psychological trauma for him. How could he let himself fall into a desperate situation where he couldn't protect the important people again? After this, he should be more cautious."

Hashirama frowned. "Well, although being a ninja is definitely risky, this time it was really Kakashi who made a wrong decision. He is to blame. Fortunately, Sakura-chan is fine."

Izuna's focus was elsewhere, and she said in dissatisfaction, "How long will Kakashi keep touching me? Is he taking advantage of Sakura?"

Only then did the others notice that Kakashi's hand was lingering on Sakura's cheek.

When Madara thought of the soft touch of Sakura's lips and cheeks, his palms unconsciously became warm. As for the even greater sexual pleasure, as soon as he recalled it, he had suppressed it directly. This was too taboo and Madara felt he could not bear it.

Tobirama and Izuna both kept a close eye on Kakashi, and Hashirama and Minato were also afraid that he would do something inappropriate. Fortunately, Kakashi still had his moral integrity and did not take any further action.

Not long after that, Haixiao brought medicine, bandages, water and food. Kakashi didn't have any external injuries, but Sakura had many. At Kakashi's request, Haixiao helped to wash Sakura's whole body, changed her clothes, bandaged her and applied medicine. He was very busy. During this time, Kakashi and the spirit group behind him turned their backs and didn't look at her.

The eventful day finally passed. In the dead of night, Kakashi could no longer bear the fatigue and fell into a deep sleep almost like a coma, but Sakura finally woke up after a long coma.

"Ah, my whole body hurts." She slowly stood up with pain all over her body, looking confused. "Where is this?"

She turned her head and looked around, and saw Kakashi Sensei lying next to her. This was an ordinary room, and it seemed that they had arrived at Dazna's house.

"Kakashi sensei? Why am I in the same room with Kakashi sensei?" Sakura wondered to herself. This was too rude. Even if they were soul mates and teacher and student, there was still a difference between men and women. Who arranged for them to be in the same room?

However, when she thought about it, Sakura suddenly remembered what Uchiha Madara said before he fell into a coma. He and the Shodaime, the Nidaime, the Yondaime, and Uchiha Izuna had been following her from behind.

Sakura immediately looked around nervously, and asked in a low voice like a thief, "Uchiha Madara, are you there?"

Madara, who was right in front of Sakura, snorted, "I'm here, but you can't see me."

Hashirama was excited. "Sakura-chan remembers the possession incident, and she also knows that you are here. Does she know that we are here too?"

Tobirama also looked at Madara. "When you were possessed, did you mention our situation to Sakura?"

Madara rolled his eyes. "She reacted so violently when I mentioned it. Knowing that we've been doing back-alley spirits for a few months, she treated me like a pervert and scratched and cried and made a fuss. Tell me, I'm not the only one who saw it, so why should I be the only one to be beaten?"

Now the three of Tobirama felt embarrassed and uncomfortable. Well, it was really socially disastrous if the person involved found out about their peeking. Although they were truly innocent, the little girl Sakura obviously didn't think so.

Tobirama suddenly felt fortunate that it was Uchiha Madara who took the blame. Izuna and Minato also looked at Madara with sympathy, and Hashirama patted his head and laughed.

"Madara, you've worked hard. It's normal for Sakura-chan to be angry, but scratching, crying and making a fuss? Is it that serious? Next time we're possessed, she won't do the same to me, right? If I try to coax her in advance, will it work?"

Hashirama was thinking about how to coax a child. He had a lot of experience in coaxing his granddaughter Tsunade, so he thought Sakura should be able to do it too.

Madara rolled his eyes at Hashirama and didn't say that Sakura was crying and making a fuss because he spanked her. Anyway, disobedient children must be disciplined, otherwise they will make trouble in the future.

After hearing what Hashirama said, Tobirama, Izuna, and Minato prayed silently, hoping that after Sakura had her revenge on Madara this time, she would not react so strongly if they possessed her in the future.

Sakura didn't get a response and couldn't see anyone, so she couldn't help biting her lip in distress. She didn't dare call other people's names. She had met Madara once after all, but she was not familiar with the first, second, fourth and Uchiha Izuna at all.

And I always feel so embarrassed. It would be fine if I didn't know about their existence, but now I know they are right beside me. They are all stuck in the world because they were summoned by me. Sakura wants to crawl into a hole in the ground. If she didn't know that they were watching her, she would want to roll on the ground and wail.

But going on like this is not a solution, Sakura can only ask Riying in her heart.

"Sakura, is there any way you can let me see Madara and the others?"

Ri Ying was also very straightforward. [It's OK with Madara. You just had a spiritual connection, so the connection is pretty close. I'm not sure about the others. It depends on whether you are compatible enough.]

"Then what should we do? How do we know if the degree of fit is sufficient? How can we improve the degree of fit?" Ying asked immediately.

Li Ying explained soothingly. [Don't worry, let me explain from the beginning. The owner of the Heroic Spirit Divine Descent Bloodline Limit has a gradual process of merging with his own Heroic Spirit. This is also the way for the person with this Bloodline Limit to rise from weak to strong.

After the Bloodline Limiter summons the Heroic Spirits from the Pure Land, they are actually invisible at the beginning. The Bloodline Limiter needs to have a certain degree of understanding of the Heroic Spirits he summoned, be familiar with their deeds and personalities before their deaths, and constantly talk to himself to express his goodwill and intention to seek cooperation, gain the favor and closeness of the summoned Heroic Spirits, and then use his own chakra to sense their chakra existence, and then slowly establish a connection.

As the degree of compatibility between the two parties gradually increases, the Kekkei Genkai can gradually hear the words of the Heroic Spirits, and then develop to be able to see their figures, and then be able to touch them. However, at this time, still only the Kekkei Genkai himself can perceive, communicate, see and touch the Heroic Spirits. For other people, they cannot see or feel the Heroic Spirits.

If the compatibility between the two parties is further improved at this time, it is possible to achieve a state of possession. For example, in today's situation, possession is usually controlled and driven by the blood limiter, but there have been failures in the past, either because the compatibility is not enough and the power of the heroic spirit cannot be exerted, or the heroic spirit directly takes over the body, and the blood limiter is trapped in his own mind and cannot see the light of day. 】

When Sakura heard this, her big green eyes widened. So, her fear that Madara would take over her body was not groundless. Fortunately, Madara did not do that in the end. Maybe he didn't know that he could take over someone else's body?

Li Ying said. [Not necessarily. Uchiha Madara may not have thought of it at first, but it is hard to say what will happen later. But you have me as a safety measure. There have been too many cases of possession in the past. Almost five out of ten Heroic Spirits will encounter this situation. The remaining five are not because they have not been possessed, but because three of them have not cultivated to the level of being possessed by Heroic Spirits. After being possessed, less than ten percent of them can regain control of their own bodies and expel the Heroic Spirits from their own bodies.

Therefore, how to improve one's own spiritual strength is also a very important part of cultivation. My existence is not accidental, but the result of the elimination and selection of generations of Heroic Spirits. Those who cannot achieve schizophrenia to protect their own minds cannot leave offspring who can awaken their bloodline limits. Even if those who possess other bodies reproduce through this body, there has never been an example of awakening the bloodline limits of Heroic Spirits. This may also be the way of balance of nature, not allowing these Heroic Spirits to continue to possess their descendants and continue their existence. Otherwise, they will be immortal and change their bodies every few decades. 】

"How scary." Sakura couldn't help but feel creepy.

Ri Ying agreed. [Yes, this is actually a very dangerous bloodline limit ability, so the number of people who awaken this bloodline limit ability is getting smaller and smaller. Later, it was no longer recorded in writing or passed down orally. Instead, the inherited memory was copied to each generation through a special sealing technique. If it is not awakened, the inherited memory will not be opened. Many people cannot even awaken themselves.]

Ying was amazed. "So that's how it is. I've never heard this from my father before."

Ri-ying smiled. [Why do you think this is the ability of the Haruno family? This is the bloodline limit passed down from our mother's line.]

"Ah? Mom? It's actually mom?" Sakura thought silently in surprise. The Haruno family was a merchant family that migrated to Konoha from the Iron Land, but their bloodline could be traced back to Uzumaki, as evidenced by her father's dark red hair with a hint of pink.

But my mother grew up in an orphanage, and she doesn't even know who her parents are. But since there are inherited memories, Sakura should know, so Sakura asked out of curiosity. "Then whose family does my bloodline limit belong to?"

Riying answered. [The surname is Shezhi, which comes from an extremely powerful shrine maiden. She is not only a shrine maiden, but also a queen. She rules a vast territory and has a large army of undead soldiers to fight for her and defend the country. Considering the ability of our bloodline limit, this should be true. It feels like the ability is really amazing. She later condescended to marry a man named Otsutsuki Indra. We are their descendants, but we use our mother's name as our surname, which means that we have inherited our mother's bloodline and abilities.]

Ying just listened to it as a story. After all, she had never heard of Shezhi and Otsutsuki Indra. She asked curiously, "Apart from my mother and I, are there other members of the Shezhi lineage?"

Li Ying answered. [Not sure, the inherited memory is not detailed to this extent, but even if there is, it is rare. More than three hundred years ago, the Shezhi clan seemed to have suffered a catastrophic disaster. In order to avoid disaster, the clan members changed their surnames. This ability is difficult to awaken. Who knows if there are other Shezhi in the world.]

Ying no longer paid attention to it. Even if they were from the same clan, their blood relationship was too far away. There was no need to pursue it further. She asked, "You said that Shezhi has an army of undead. Is that her heroic spirit? I said before that heroic spirits can actually exist and manifest in the world in the end."

Ri-ying nodded. [Yes, this is the strongest form of this bloodline limit ability. When the degree of compatibility with one's own Heroic Spirit is extremely high, the summoner can make his Heroic Spirit exist in the world in a posture that is almost the same as a living person. The state of the Heroic Spirit depends on the degree of compatibility with the summoner and the summoner's own chakra. But according to legend, Shezhi has no chakra, but it does not affect her ability to keep the Undead Army in the world. No one knows how she did it.]

Sakura asked in doubt. "But the first time I summoned Madara and the others, they were able to manifest? Even though it was only for a few minutes."

Ri Ying nodded. [Yes, I said that the advancement of this ability depends entirely on the compatibility between the summoner and the Heroic Spirits. All training is to cultivate feelings with the Heroic Spirits to increase the compatibility so as to achieve the purpose of driving and controlling them. However, Uchiha Madara and the others are our soul mates, and the compatibility is almost full from the beginning. This is completely cheating. This kind of luck has almost never happened in history.

Therefore, the problem of improving the degree of compatibility, which is the most difficult problem for ordinary Heroic Spirits who have achieved Kekkei Genkai, is almost non-existent here.

When we first summoned them, they were in a life-and-death crisis, which strengthened and consolidated our soul connection with Madara and the others, because soul mates will have an instinctive desire to save each other when they are in a life-and-death crisis. At this time, the degree of compatibility was unprecedentedly high. We also used a lot of blood to strengthen the summoning effect, so they could stay in the world as entities, but we were short of chakra, so it was difficult to maintain their existence. Therefore, the direction we need to work on in the future is to increase chakra reserves. 】

After hearing Sakura once again point out that her soulmate is the reason why she can cheat so many times, Sakura also became curious, "Why is it so difficult for other bloodline limiters to improve their compatibility with their own Heroic Spirits?"

Ri-ying did not answer but asked instead: "Why do you think the name of this bloodline limit ability is Heroic Spirit Descent instead of Summoning the Dead?"

Ying Doudou's eyes widened. She thought, "Well, isn't it just for the sake of sounding good? Give your ability a cool name."

Ri Ying refuted firmly. [No! Not all dead people can be summoned. Only super strong people who were extremely famous and authoritative in the world, or super heroes praised by people can be summoned. If they are not famous or powerful, it is impossible to be summoned successfully. For example, if a daimyo dies, although he is very famous, he has no military power at all, so he cannot be summoned.]

Sakura exclaimed. "So that's how it is. The Shodaime, the Nidaime, and Uchiha Madara are all famous super strong men. The Yondaime is not only strong, but he is also the hero who sealed the Nine-Tails. Uchiha Izuna should be very powerful too. No wonder they can be summoned."

Li Ying nodded. [Yes, how can such a strong person be willing to be inferior to others and be controlled by others? Especially since most summoners don't have the ability to let them return to the world as living people, and they can't see any benefits, so why waste time with the summoner? Therefore, most of the Heroic Spirits either passively resist, and finally they are automatically unsummoned and return to the Pure Land after a period of time due to insufficient compatibility, or they take over the body of the summoner as I said, and live another life in this body, which may be more attractive.]

Ying finally understood. Indeed, they were not related to each other. These heroes were all important figures in their lives. Why should they listen to the orders of an unknown pawn? No wonder it was so difficult to improve the compatibility. "After listening to this, I feel that this ability is not so amazing."

Ri Ying agreed. [It's not that outrageous in the first place. The only one who can use this ability to the point of outrage is Shezhi, the queen and the miko.]

Ying continued to ask. "What about the successful cases? How did those with good fit do it?"

Li Ying answered. [Use emotions. Family, friendship, and love are all ways to increase compatibility, but friendship is easy to break. After all, the status of both parties is not equal. Family is hard to come by. It is basically impossible to summon your own blood relatives, because most summoners' strength comes from the Heroic Spirits, but they themselves are not very powerful. Even if there are, they are extremely rare. Even if such people are summoned after death, their strength will be reduced by 80% or 90%, and they can basically not be used as combat power. Therefore, love is the most common way to maintain and improve compatibility. Many summoners fall in love with the Heroic Spirits and then get the unconditional and wholehearted protection of the other party. But even so, few of them can make it to the end. After all, people's hearts are fickle, and it is impossible for summoners and Heroic Spirits to have offspring. They are no different from living people. Heroic Spirits are also dead people, with different yin and yang, and cannot give birth to life. ]

After listening to this, Sakura felt very complicated and her head hurt. Should she be glad that she didn't have to consider the compatibility issue? But then again, she had been talking to herself for so long, and it was possible that Uchiha Madara, the Shodaime, the Nidaime, the Yondaime, and Uchiha Izuna simply didn't want to stay.

Even though they were soulmates, Sakura didn't think they would accept her, especially since she had more than one soulmate, which made the situation even more complicated.

Sakura herself didn't want to either. No matter how powerful they were, they were dead. It was one thing to worship and respect the founder and previous leaders of Konoha, but it was another to treat them as her husband. This was even more impossible than being with Kakashi sensei, not to mention that she even forced them to fight for her. Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle. She didn't deserve it.

Well, if she can see them later, she will explain and apologize to them, and let them go back to the Pure Land. She will just pretend that they don't have this bloodline limit.

Sakura asked as she thought of it. "So, I can cancel the summons and let Uchiha Madara and the others return to the Pure Land, right?"

Ri Ying nodded and shook her head. [We tried it once, in the Sandaime's office after the first summoning, but now it seems to have failed. Generally speaking, if the compatibility is not zero, the summoning relationship cannot be terminated. In the past, if the summoner and the Heroic Spirit disliked each other, the compatibility would decrease until it was cleared. The summoning could send the Heroic Spirit back to the Pure Land, but with our soul mate relationship, it is estimated that it will be difficult to reduce the compatibility to zero. The only way left is to wait until we die, then everyone can go to the Pure Land, but we don't want to die yet. ]

Sakura shuddered. Of course she didn't want to die, but wait, Uchiha Madara and the others wouldn't kill her to get rid of her current state and return to the Pure Land, right? Sakura touched her neck and suddenly felt that her life might be in danger. She asked the same question, but Sakura told her to relax. Apart from the risk of being possessed, no matter how much the Heroic Spirits hated the summoner, they couldn't harm the summoner themselves. This was the most powerful insurance measure.

Sakura finally felt relieved. She and Ri-Sakura learned how to communicate and see Uchiha Madara and the others. After all, they had a basic degree of compatibility, so they just needed to find the right method and improve their familiarity.

Although Sakura and Ri-Sakura talked for a long time, mental communication ignores time and countless thoughts can be exchanged in one second. Therefore, not much time has passed in the outside world. Madara saw Sakura suddenly look serious and start to make seals with her hands.

It was a hand seal that no one had ever seen before, it was wonderful and complicated. Tobirama even saw some seals of the Impure World Reincarnation technique on it. Speaking of which, the Impure World Reincarnation was originally a ninjutsu that Tobirama improved after finding it in an incomplete ancient book. Tobirama couldn't help but suspect that the source of the ancient book might be related to Sakura's bloodline limit.

After the Sakura Seal was completed, she drew a line across her eyes. Her emerald green eyes seemed to emit a faint light. Then, Sakura felt some vague mumblings in her hearing, which she could not hear clearly. A clear figure gradually appeared in front of her eyes.

Uchiha Madara, who had long frizzy hair, was sitting cross-legged in front of her with his arms folded across his chest, answering someone's words with an impatient look on his face.

"Who knows what this little girl is doing, Hashirama, don't have too high expectations, lest you be disappointed, this little girl is very half-baked."

Hashirama? Is it the Shodaime? Is Madara talking to the Shodaime? Sakura pricked up her ears and listened carefully, but only vague mumblings fell into her ears. The only person she could clearly see and hear was Uchiha Madara. It seemed that it was still a problem of compatibility.

Sakura stared at Madara, who didn't notice as he was talking to Hashirama, but Izuna noticed it first. He nudged Madara with his elbow and asked, "Brother Madara, Sakura seems to be looking at you. Can she see you?"

"Ah? See me? How is that possible, Izuna, is she in a daze?" Madara looked at Sakura disapprovingly, but found that her eyes were focused, not just glancing at him blankly. Madara leaned forward in surprise and reached out to pinch Sakura's chin.

"Huh? You've been staring at me, can you really see me?"

Sakura had experienced Madara pinching her mouth before, so she backed away cautiously, staring at Madara's hand in warning. "Don't touch me, Madara."

This answer and action confirmed to Madara and everyone else that Sakura could see Madara. Hashirama immediately rushed in front of Sakura excitedly, "Sakura-chan, can you see me and hear me?"

Ying could feel a slight air current passing in front of her, and there were also almost inaudible mumblings in her ears, but she naturally couldn't see or hear them, so she could only apologize in the general direction.

"Who is it? I can only see and hear Madara right now, not the others. I'm sorry."

Hashirama was disappointed, "Why is it that only Madara can do this? Is it because he possessed you?"

Madara twitched his chin, answering Sakura's question. "It's Hashirama."

Sakura immediately bowed in that direction. "Good evening, Shodaime-sama."

Kakashi suddenly moved at this moment, and Sakura immediately froze. She breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that he had just turned over unconsciously in his sleep, but she didn't dare to continue asking questions or speaking in the room. She was not yet ready to explain and account for her bloodline limit and the existence of Uchiha Madara and others.

Sakura looked at Madara and whispered, "Let's go outside and talk." Needless to say, the others would follow.

She quietly opened the door, and Madara soon walked alongside her, and the two of them, plus Hashirama, who Sakura couldn't see, walked out of the house and stopped in a clearing in the forest.

Chapter 13 : chapter 13

Chapter Text

Sakura wrung her hands tightly against her chest, raised her green eyes nervously to look at Madara, and asked, "Um, is everyone here?"

"Hmm? Here." Madara crossed his arms and leaned against a tree, saying casually.

"Really?" Ying encouraged herself, clenched her fists, swallowed, and after preparing herself mentally, she closed her eyes, bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle sincerely and respectfully, and apologized loudly.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble. It's my fault that you're stuck in the human world, but I didn't mean to disturb your peace. I just found out about this today. Although it sounds like I'm quibbling, I don't mean to shirk my responsibility. Whether it's sending you back to the Pure Land or letting you appear in the human world again, I will do my best!"

Sakura's words made Tobirama, Hashirama, Izuna and Minato's expressions soften. Although none of them blamed Haruno Sakura, a person who knew how to take responsibility and reflect on oneself is always better than a person who always blames others for everything and never takes responsibility for anything else when something goes wrong, as if nothing has anything to do with him or her.

Madara was satisfied in his heart, but his face didn't show it. He even snorted proudly. "Why wasn't your attitude so good when you first saw me?"

Ying pouted and muttered reluctantly. "Your attitude is not very good either. I'm afraid that you will take my body away. How can I not be afraid? And you..." Spanking my butt, such shy things can only be vaguely contained in my mouth.

Madara also thought about spanking, well, maybe that was a bit rude, but it was fair.

Take the body away? Tobirama, Minato, Izuna and Hashirama all noticed this keenly. So, this possession can actually completely take over the body of the possessed person? That means they can live a new life? Of course, they just thought about it, no one would really do it. Not to mention that their morality does not allow it, Sakura is their soul mate, and it is completely unacceptable for them to live as a woman.

Hashirama came back to his senses from his thoughts, looking happy, and said excitedly. "Oh, Sakura-chan, I don't blame you. Rather, it is a very happy thing to be able to see Konoha again after death and see that Konoha has developed so well, hahaha, and I also know that I actually have a soul mate. I have always dreamed of having a soul mate. I didn't expect that my wish in life would come true after death, which makes me even happier."

Sakura naturally couldn't hear him, so Hashirama quickly nudged Madara with his elbow and signaled, "Madara, hurry up, help me convey my message to Sakura-chan."

Madara felt it was troublesome and didn't want to speak for him, but he couldn't persuade Hashirama, so he simply cut out the beginning and the end and simplified Hashirama's words. "Hashirama wants to tell you that he is very happy to be able to come out and take a look at Konoha after his death."

"Oh, really? Thank you, Shodaime-sama." Sakura breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Shodaime-sama said that just to consider her feelings. He was such a considerate person.

Hashirama pouted in dissatisfaction. "No, Madara, how could you omit my words? It sounds so perfunctory and insincere. And, how could you omit the last sentence of mine, "I am very happy to see Sakura as my soul mate?"

Madara rolled his eyes. "You should talk to this little girl yourself in the future. I don't want to convey such words for you."

He would never say those corny words that Hashirama said!

"What? Did the first generation say anything else?" Sakura immediately asked curiously.

"Nothing, nothing important." Madara cut off rudely.

Sakura pouted in dissatisfaction. "What? The Shodaime-sama was clearly telling me what he said. How could you hide it from me?"

Hashirama also pouted in dissatisfaction. "It's obviously very important, Madara, are you jealous? So you deliberately don't let Sakura-chan know that I'm happy to have her as a soul mate?"

Madara looked at the identical expressions of Sakura and Hashirama, secretly thinking that it was no wonder that the two were soul mates, their tacit understanding was really good. At the same time, he felt inexplicably unhappy. A vein popped out on his forehead and he shouted, "Both of you shut up, stop talking nonsense and get down to business!"

Izuna also sneered. "That's right, Hashirama, you're trying to win favor now? And you even let Madara-kun confess for you, how can you be so embarrassed?"

Hashirama looked innocent. "No, I just said what I thought honestly. Aren't you happy that Sakura-chan is your soul mate? Then don't let her know. Sakura-chan will be sad."

Izuna laughed in anger. "No one said that, right? Hashirama, are you setting a trap to eliminate your love rival now?"

Minato held his forehead helplessly, sandwiched between Senju and Uchiha, he was really tired, and the Shodaime seemed to be a bit treacherous. As for Uchiha Izuna, did he really treat Sakura as his woman? His hostility and vigilance were too strong.

Although Tobirama felt that it was inappropriate for his elder brother to say the following words, he was also very dissatisfied that Madara took the initiative to remove them. Isn't this completely taking over the right to speak? But at present, Sakura can only see Madara and hear his words. Tobirama can only pinch his nose and accept it. He stopped his elder brother from continuing to provoke Uchiha Izuna and said.

"Okay, big brother, stop talking nonsense. Madara, ask Haruno Sakura what is going on in our current situation? Is it her bloodline limit? How much does she know about this?"

Judging from Sakura's words, Tobirama was basically certain that this was Sakura's bloodline limit, so he no longer mentioned whether this was an undeveloped use of soul mates.

Madara simply ignored it, and Tobirama glared at him. "Madara, could you please stop being so childish?"

Madara rolled his ear with his little finger and asked nonchalantly, "What's buzzing?"

"Uchiha Madara!" Tobirama's forehead was bulging with veins, and he put his hand on the hilt of the knife, wanting to hit him, but Hashirama quickly grabbed him. "Tobirama, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, even if you don't ask, I think Sakura-chan will explain, don't be impatient~"

Ying looked at Ban curiously, "What's that buzzing sound? A mosquito? Why didn't I hear it?" She looked around in confusion, but to no avail, and then got back to the topic.

"Well, I think I need to explain that you were summoned because of my bloodline limit..."

Sakura carefully explained her bloodline limit, apologized again, and then carefully suggested.

"Well, if you don't want to stay in the human world, then we need to lower our compatibility. But since we are soul mates, this may be difficult. If it really doesn't work, can we do it the other way around? I will work hard to improve our compatibility so that you can reappear and stay in the human world? Of course, I have absolutely no intention of ordering you around. You can freely do what you want. This is the only compensation I can think of."

Ying looked uneasy, her green eyes full of apology.

Minato was the first to express his opinion. He looked at Madara and pleaded, "Madara-san, can you tell Sakura for me? I am willing to stay, and I will work with her to improve our compatibility."

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Minato, after knowing the current situation of his son Naruto, there was no way he could just go back to the Pure Land with peace of mind. He would seek justice against those who had failed his expectations and treated his son badly.

Madara narrowed his eyes. He certainly knew why Minato did this, but the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was an important part of his Infinite Tsukuyomi plan. Keeping Minato would definitely become a hindrance to him in the future. But now, Madara naturally could not show that he did not want Minato to stay in the world. He could only nod and repeat Minato's words truthfully.

"Thank you for your understanding, Yondaime-sama." Sakura smiled.

Although he knew that Sakura couldn't see or hear him, Minato still smiled softly in return. "Please give me your guidance in the future, Sakura."

Madara thought this was nonsense, so he didn't convey it at all.

Minato looked at Madara helplessly and sighed. He had experienced the arrogance of Uchiha Madara. He should try his best to communicate directly with Sakura.

After Minato, Izuna was the second to express her opinion. "Brother Madara, tell Sakura that I am willing to stay, too."

"Izuna? Are you sure?" Madara was stunned and looked at his younger brother. He felt a little conflicted. He didn't know if Izuna would agree to his Infinite Tsukuyomi plan if he stayed.

Sakura pricked up her ears. What did Izuna say? Uchiha Izuna, Uchiha Madara's younger brother, was the most unfamiliar to Sakura. She couldn't even remember his appearance. Among the five people, if we were to talk about the difficulty of establishing and improving the degree of compatibility, this person should be the most difficult. After all, Sakura had no idea about Uchiha Izuna's deeds, personality, and character. There were very few relevant documents. They were only mentioned in passing when it came to the battlefield achievements of the second generation or the family background of Uchiha Madara.

Izuna smiled and said in a relaxed tone. "Yeah, I don't know anything about going back to the Pure Land, and it's meaningless. Anyway, we will all go back to the Pure Land in the end, so it doesn't matter if I go there for a while that night, right? Wouldn't it be better to accompany Sakura through this life and then go back to the Pure Land together? Besides, the world now is different from before, and I'm very interested. It would be even better if I could manifest and touch and feel this world myself."

Madara looked at his brother with expectation in his eyes and fell silent. Izuna was only 24 years old when he died. He left without experiencing the prosperity of the world. He must have been unwilling to accept that.

Moreover, he has Sakura, his soul mate, who binds his heart. Unlike his own resistance, contradiction and indecision towards Sakura, his soul mate, Izuna accepts and acknowledges Sakura without a single question. Madara can see that he really regards Haruno Sakura as his wife-to-be, but because of the separation of life and death, Izuna had to give up with regret. But now he has the opportunity to be with Sakura for the rest of his life, no wonder he is reluctant to leave this world.

But understanding all this would only make Madara feel more sorry for his brother. His brother certainly deserved to live a good life and deserved to be happy, so Madara nodded and repeated what Izuna meant to Sakura.

"Thank you, Izuna-san." Having received understanding from another person, Sakura bowed in gratitude again towards the place where Izuna seemed to be.

"You're welcome, Sakura, we are soul mates, and I also want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to see this world again. I look forward to the day when we can communicate with each other." Izuna twirled her pigtails with her fingertips, her tone full of joyful yearning.

Of course, Madara would not fail to convey the message to his younger brother or cut out the beginning and the end, so he relayed the message to Sakura in its entirety.

"Okay, Izuna-san, I'm looking forward to the day we meet." Sakura sensed Izuna's kindness and friendliness. Her pair of round, emerald green cat eyes smiled charmingly, looking very adorable and attractive.

Minato couldn't help but mutter in his heart, this is really unfair treatment, after all, younger brothers are different.

When Hashirama saw that Minato and Izuna had expressed their opinions, he also raised his hand impatiently to attract Ban's attention, "Me too, me too, I want to stay, Madara, you should talk to Sakura-chan."

"Hashirama, why are you staying here? Go back to the Pure Land as soon as possible!" Madara said unhappily. If Hashirama stayed, would his Infinite Tsukuyomi plan have any chance of success?

Sakura looked curious, would the Shodaime also be willing to stay? But why didn't Madara agree to let the Shodaime stay?

"Why can't I stay?" Hashirama also looked unconvinced and confused.

Madara was speechless for a moment before rolling his eyes. "Hashirama, why do you want to stay? You have nothing to worry about, right? You've seen Konoha, it's developing very well, you don't need to worry about it. When you die, you'll have a wife, children, and grandchildren. You've enjoyed everything you should have. What's the point of staying?"

Hashirama pouted, "Even though I say that, I still want to stay. What about you, Madara? Aren't you going to stay?"

Madara said as a matter of course. "Of course I will stay."

Rather than waiting in the Pure Land for the Rinnegan which Obito might not be able to activate, it is of course better for him to supervise in person in the real world. If he could reveal himself, he could even carry out the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan himself, and there would be no need for Obito.

Hashirama immediately shouted with a look of injustice on his face. "Why can you stay but I can't? Anyway, I don't care. I'll stay if you want."

"Go back to the Pure Land!" Veins were visible.

"I don't want to! Anyway, Madara, you have no say. Sakura-chan is the one who can decide. We are soul mates. She herself said that it will be difficult to send me back. Anyway, I will definitely stay here no matter what." Hashirama acted like a rogue and grinned.

"Hashirama, you bastard!" Madara was furious. Well, he really couldn't force Hashirama back to the Pure Land, so he could only order Sakura. "You, don't let Hashirama stay, send him back to the Pure Land!"

Sakura looked at Madara speechlessly, "No way, the Shodaime-sama clearly said that he wanted to stay. Even if you want to bully me for not being able to hear what he said, you should at least cover up your own words. Now that I've heard it, do you think I will go against the Shodaime-sama for you?"

What are you thinking! The Shodaime is the Hokage, and Uchiha Madara is a traitor, a big devil, so isn't it obvious who he should listen to?

Seeing Sakura's contemptuous look, Madara's mouth twitched, and he wanted to pinch Sakura's mouth again. "You little girl, you are very good at talking."

Sakura immediately took a step back and covered her mouth vigilantly. "Hmph, Madara, if you dare to touch me, I will find a way to send you back to the Pure Land first."

Madara looked unhappy. "You little bitch! I helped you before, and this is how you treat me?"

Ying raised her head and put her hands on her hips, with a righteous look on her face. "Let's put it this way. Thank you for helping me, but you shouldn't ignore other people's opinions. It was the Shodaime who wanted to stay~"

Madara snorted coldly, crossed his arms and leaned back against the tree. He knew that he was just forcing someone to do something against his will, so he didn't really bother with this little girl Sakura. But in his mind he was thinking about how to adjust his plan now that there were so many variables.

The only person present who had not expressed his opinion was Senju Tobirama. He was still immersed in the information provided by Sakura, frowning in thought.

"Shezhi? So, I do seem to have seen this name in some ancient books and documents?"

There are indeed some mentions of this name in the fragments that served as the inspiration for the Impure World Reincarnation and the ancient books on summoning, but the history of Shezhi was completely erased without leaving a trace, so Tobirama did not get any more information from it. If he knew that Shezhi was a clan with such a special bloodline limit, he would not be ignorant of it today.

Tobirama frowned and let out a breath. At this time, Hashirama put his arm around his brother's shoulder and said with a cheerful smile. "Tobirama, what do you say? Stay? Stay."

Hashirama still hoped that his younger brother would stay and have more company, although with his brother's hardworking personality, he would probably not have a leisurely future if he stayed. Unlike him, he planned to let himself go and do whatever he wanted. He had already fulfilled his responsibilities and ambitions in his lifetime. As long as the sky of the ninja world did not fall, he would be lazy and leave it to future generations to solve. Of course, helping Sakura did not count, after all, she was his soul mate, and he should protect her.

Only then did Tobirama realize that except for him, everyone planned to stay. Although he had invented the Impure World Reincarnation, Tobirama actually had no interest in returning to the world after death. He was a man who had gotten rid of vulgar interests. When he was alive, he devoted his life to the Senju and Konoha, and worked until his death. He had almost no entertainment and no personal love in his life. Although Tobirama felt that this was his responsibility and obligation, he was resistant to the thought of continuing such a life after death, but he couldn't just ignore it.

But looking at the people who stayed behind, the evil and trouble-making Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna, the eccentric and often unreliable elder brother, and the Namikaze Minato who wanted revenge, Tobirama felt that he could not close his eyes and go to the Pure Land at ease. He stroked his forehead and finally made a decision. "I will stay too."

Hashirama cheered, Minato smiled, Izuna was unhappy, Madara was also unhappy, there was one more person hindering the plan, and, although Tobirama Senju was weaker than Hashirama and him, he was more difficult to deal with. With his keenness and suspicion, the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan was likely to be discovered.

But now, Madara can only take one step at a time.

Sakura also noticed that there was still one person who hadn't expressed his opinion, so she looked up and asked nervously, "Madara, did the Nidaime-sama say anything?"

Madara's tone was full of unhappiness. "He stays too."

After getting everyone's answer, Ying finally felt relieved. She bowed again and smiled widely. "Really? That's good. Please give me your guidance. I will try my best to make you visible as soon as possible."

Madara said unceremoniously, "Yeah, hurry up and try to make me visible."

Sakura felt that Madara's tsundere temper really made her want to beat him up, and she almost couldn't hold back her smile. "I see, so I'm going to work hard."

After the deal was settled, Sakura quietly returned to the room she shared with Kakashi Sensei. After opening the door and going in, Sakura saw Kakashi Sensei lying on the bed and seemed to be sleeping soundly. She was about to breathe a sigh of relief and go to sleep as well, but she heard a deep question.

"Ying, where have you been? Do you have something to tell me?"

Sakura almost screamed in fright. She looked up and saw that Kakashi had sat up and was looking at her seriously.

Happy New Year 2025 everyone! I hope you will leave a lot of comments, likes and recommendations, which will give me more motivation to continue writing😎

Chapter 14 : chapter 14

Chapter Text

"Kakashi sensei, are you awake? When did you wake up? Your sudden noise in the middle of the night almost scared me to death." Sakura patted her chest in fright, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness.

Kakashi was not distracted and asked again seriously, "Sakura, you didn't answer my question."

Sakura was stunned, and then she realized that Kakashi sensei was no longer as lazy and unruly as usual. At this moment, he looked cold and ruthless, with sharp eyes, which made her feel pressured.

Sakura suddenly flinched, biting her lip in hesitation. Did Kakashi sensei guess something? Should she tell the truth? Should she expose the existence of Madara and the others? Sakura subconsciously glanced at Madara, the only visible person around her, with a signal for help in her eyes that she didn't even know she was looking for.

Madara looked at Sakura with an expression of looking at a disappointed child. "Why are you so cowardly? If you want to say it, just say it. If you don't want to say it, don't say it. I'm not afraid of people knowing my existence. If there are people with bad intentions or who don't know what's good for them, the worst that can happen is that I will possess you again to silence you!"

When he was planning the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, he was already prepared to have enemies all over the world, so of course he didn't mind killing all those who stood in his way before that.

"Has Kakashi realized something?" Minato asked in surprise, but did Kakashi guess the truth?

Madara's violent declaration made Sakura's shoulders collapse instantly. It was too cruel to silence someone right away. Uchiha Madara was indeed a big devil! He was not afraid of being known, but she was afraid. With such a big traitor around him! Would she be implicated? Sakura thought with a little resentment in her heart.

But Madara was not afraid of being exposed, so what about the others? What did they think? Sakura did not dare to ask directly, so she could only continue to look at Madara, hoping that the ethereal connection between soul mates would allow them to have a tacit understanding.

Miraculously, Madara actually understood Sakura's thoughts and immediately rolled his eyes, "Tsk, there is no one in the Uchiha family who is afraid of trouble. Izuna and I have the same idea. Hashirama, Tobirama, Minato, what do you three think?"

Izuna was directly represented by his brother, but he didn't care. He really disliked Kakashi who was around Sakura every day. If Kakashi knew about their existence, he could at least be more cautious in his actions and stop teasing Sakura intentionally or unintentionally. Every time he saw Kakashi touching Sakura's hair, putting his arm around her shoulders, talking to her close, or hugging her to avoid danger, Izuna wanted to draw his sword and chop off Kakashi's hands.

Hashirama had the same idea as Madara and smiled cheerfully. "I don't care."

With absolute overwhelming strength, he naturally has nothing to worry about, because no matter what the situation, Hashirama is confident that he can handle it.

Tobirama was a little doubtful. "Is Kakashi trustworthy? I hope to delay until we can at least reveal ourselves freely, so that we can have the initiative. But, forget it, let's just say it. Even if we die, we are still Hokage, and ninjas should obey the instructions of their superiors."

Tobirama was inclined not to say anything, but he didn't think Sakura could withstand Kakashi's interrogation, so it was better for her to give up her clumsy struggle. At most he would clean up the mess for her. Although with the soul mate relationship between Kakashi Hatake and Sakura, Tobirama felt that Kakashi would not hurt Sakura.

Minato immediately stated, "Nidaime, I believe in Kakashi, and I have a lot to ask Kakashi."

Compared to Sakura, a new Genin who has just started her ninja career, Kakashi, as an Anbu and elite Jonin, definitely knows more village secrets. He wants to know what happened after his death that led to his son Naruto being bullied and misunderstood like this.

Madara got the confirmation and nodded to Sakura. "We have asked, and we all agreed that it's up to you to tell or not. It doesn't matter if you are exposed. We will support you."

Sakura finally felt relieved, then she looked back at Kakashi, bit her lip and thought about what to say. She was not afraid that she would face some storms after saying it. After all, Kakashi was not only her teacher, but also her soul mate. Sakura naturally believed that Kakashi would not put herself in danger.

Kakashi did not miss the look and silent communication between Sakura and the empty space, and the suspicion and disbelief in his heart suddenly seemed to be confirmed.

Sakura suddenly became powerful, and he had been puzzled about it until tonight when Sakura suddenly talked to herself in the empty room and called out the names of Uchiha Madara and the Shodaime. Kakashi suddenly realized a possibility.

He was so shocked that he accidentally made a noise, which made Sakura alert. After she left, Kakashi thought for a long time but still did not follow her. If his guess was true, then his tracking would not be hidden from those people and would definitely be discovered.

During the Mizuki incident, Kakashi also knew about the sudden appearance of the Shodaime, the Nidaime and the Uchiha brothers, including his teacher, but they disappeared very quickly. Although Mizuki, Iruka and Naruto all claimed to have seen the Shodaime and the other four people, Kakashi was full of doubts. He would rather believe that Sakura created some false illusions through the bond of soul mates than that she really summoned the ghosts of Minato and the others. But today, his idea was suddenly overturned.

Kakashi looked at Sakura who hadn't made up her mind yet, took a deep breath, and asked in a deep voice, "Sakura, tell me, are Uchiha Madara and the Shodaime by your side now? Are they the only two?"

Kakashi's eyes darted around Sakura, trying hard to determine whether there were any undead spirits in this deserted place.

Seeing that Kakashi had figured it out, Sakura stopped worrying and nodded slightly, admitting it. "Yes, Madara and the Shodaime-sama are here, as well as the Nidaime, the Yondaime, and Uchiha Izuna-san."

Although he had expected this, when Kakashi heard Sakura really nod in agreement, his eyes suddenly widened and he asked again in disbelief.

"Really? Minato-sensei and the others are with you right now? So, they were the ones who defeated Zabuza this afternoon? How? How could this happen? Can I see them?"

Sakura bit her lip and confessed. "Yes, it was Madara who defeated Zabuza. He possessed me and saved us all. I didn't know they were with me until my bloodline limit was activated today. I only found out about this. At the moment, I can only see Madara, so you can't see them yet, teacher."

Kakashi was also shocked when he heard the truth, and his eyes widened even more. "Bloodline limit? Sakura, you have a bloodline limit? What bloodline limit can summon and possess the dead?"

Sakura simply explained her bloodline limit again.

After hearing this, Kakashi was shocked that there actually existed such a magical bloodline limit in the world. But after sorting out some facts, he suddenly broke out in a sweat. Kakashi confirmed it again without giving up.

"Wait, wait, Sakura, are you telling me that Minato-sensei and the others have been following you for months? Ever since the Mizuki incident? And you just didn't know about it until today?"

Sakura blushed, glared at Madara, the only one who could see her, with some resentment, and complained with a pout. "Yes, Kakashi sensei, don't you think this is too much? It's so embarrassing! I have lost my privacy."

Madara once again bore the resentment alone that should have been borne by everyone, and he felt that he was extremely unlucky. He glared at Tobirama and the others unhappily, of course he had to ignore his own brother, and then he rolled his eyes and said to Sakura.

"Don't just look at me! Everyone has a hand in this. When you can see Tobirama, Hashirama, and Minato, remember to pour your resentment on them as well. That will be fair. But forget about Izuna, he didn't peek."

Tobirama rolled his eyes at Madara's attempt to shift the blame, Minato smiled bitterly, Hashirama patted his head and said "Ahahaha", Izuna chuckled, thinking that his brother still remembered to clear him.

After hearing this, Sakura immediately retracted her courage to question and accuse the Shodaime, the Nidaime and the Yondaime. Well, the authority of the Hokage was still engraved in her heart, so Sakura didn't dare.

As for Izuna, well, although she didn't know him well, based on the conversation Madara had conveyed to her, Sakura felt that this person was a good person, so she would be magnanimous and forgive him this time.

Seeing how she was obviously scared, Uchiha Madara almost laughed out of anger.

"You little girl, what do you mean by this? You don't dare to question Hashirama and the others, so how dare you be rude to me? What? Am I easy to talk to? Or do I lack authority?"

This shouldn't be the case. When he was in the village before, children were afraid of him. He remembered that he once helped a little girl who had fallen down with good intentions, but she burst into tears when she saw his face. Later, it was Hashirama who gave the little girl a flower and made her laugh. Now, has his intimidation power disappeared? Madara touched his face suspiciously.

Sakura was also stunned by what she said. Indeed, she felt that she should be afraid of Uchiha Madara, but when she actually faced him, she couldn't help but want to talk back and tease him unscrupulously. This time too, Sakura raised her head and snorted without thinking.

"Banara, why should I be afraid of you? Can you eat me?"

Madara wanted to pinch Sakura's mouth again, this little rascal! He must make her realize his authority in the future! See if she dares to be so arrogant to him again, Madara gritted his teeth, smiling with his face but not his heart.

"You are really good at talking! Haruno Sakura, do you think I can eat you in the future?"

Tobirama immediately frowned and glared at Madara. "Madara, this is sexual harassment!"

Madara rolled his eyes. "Whatever you think."

Minato felt a little strange. These words were indeed very metaphorical. What did Uchiha Madara mean by this?

Izuna and Hashirama also looked at Madara in surprise. He really seemed to be angry when he said this.

However, Hashirama can now see the commonality between Madara and Sakura as soul mates. Sakura's tsundere and awkward little appearance is exactly the same as Madara's.

Kakashi ignored Sakura's mumbling. He was recalling every detail of his time with Sakura over the past few months. The more he recalled, the more restless Kakashi became. He was sweating all over and his scalp was tingling. He had a gut feeling that he was going to die, dead for sure!

This is not just a simple social death, it is a public execution! So, he was late every day, read pornographic books in front of Sakura, occasionally slacked off and didn't lead the class, sometimes couldn't help but get close to Sakura and touch her every move out of selfish motives, including today's embarrassing fainting, leaving the enemy to Sakura to deal with alone, all of which were seen clearly by the former Hokage including Minato-sensei and the Uchiha brothers?

Kakashi felt that he was in great danger, that a dark cloud was hanging over his head. Would he be beaten to death? As a teacher, he was not qualified enough, and as a soul mate, he did not protect Sakura well.

Kakashi was really panicking. He swallowed hard and confirmed again. "Um, Sakura, are you saying that if your bloodline limit is developed to the end, it can make Minato-sensei and others appear in reality, just like living people?"

Sakura nodded and said with a hint of distress, "Yes, but I can only see Madara at the moment. I can't see or hear the others, so I don't know when I can make Madara and the others actually appear."

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile. "Don't worry, Sakura, take your time. It's not easy to develop a bloodline limit, so don't be impatient or rush into anything. Take your time, take your time."

Izuna sneered. "Oh, Kakashi is scared? He should be. If I could show my true form, the first thing I would do is beat Kakashi up."

Tobirama rarely agreed with Izuna's opinion, and crossed his chest and said sternly. "He's still panicking, which means Kakashi knows in his heart that he's not doing a good job. Let's see how much he can improve before we can reveal our forms. If there's no improvement, then I don't mind teaching a useless junior a lesson."

Minato held his forehead in silence. How many times has Kakashi told him not to rush and take his time? His ostrich mentality of avoiding was also obvious. Unfortunately, he was very anxious and wanted to show up as soon as possible. As for Kakashi, Minato smiled.

"As the saying goes, a teacher who doesn't teach strictly is a teacher of laziness. As a teacher, I should have a good communication with Kakashi."

Hashirama also laughed. "Okay, it's good to put some pressure on Kakashi. At least he will be less reckless next time he encounters a situation like today."

Sakura looked at Kakashi, who seemed to be feeling guilty, and nodded in confusion. "I understand, Kakashi sensei."

Madara saw Sakura's confusion and sneered. He nodded his chin and repeated to Sakura exactly what Izuna, Tobirama, Minato and Hashirama had said, then grinned grimly.

"Remember to include me as well. I can't wait for the day when I can beat up Kakashi. Tell Kakashi what you are saying."

Sakura's eyes widened. Why did Kakashi Sensei mess with them? Why did they all want to beat Kakashi Sensei up? However, Kakashi Sensei did feel very unruly sometimes, and it was good for him to be punished. Therefore, Sakura said these words to Kakashi with a half-sympathetic and half-gloating expression on her face.

Kakashi didn't even bother to scold Sakura for being such a heartless girl and making fun of him. He just felt a huge amount of pressure. He secretly decided that after his body recovered, the first thing he would do was to intensify his training, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand a beating in the future.

But now, Kakashi could only pretend to be ignorant and laugh it off to keep the peace. "Ahaha, if it's just a normal sparring match, I'd still be happy to accompany you."

Sakura then remembered something. "By the way, Kakashi sensei, do I need to report my bloodline limit to the Sandaime-sama after I return to the village?"

Kakashi immediately shook off his thoughts, his eyes became stern, he pondered for a long time, frowned, and spoke solemnly.

"Not yet, at least not before you can make Minato-sensei and the others appear. To keep it secret, don't let anyone else know your bloodline limit except me, Sakura. This also includes Naruto and Sasuke. Don't communicate with Madara and the others or talk to yourself in front of them."

The three former Hokage, Hashirama, Tobirama and Minato, looked at Kakashi in astonishment at the same time.

Tobirama's eyes were sharp. "What do you mean, Kakashi? For a ninja to hide his own shadow, this is already an act of betrayal."

Hashirama scratched his head. "Why did you hide it from the monkey? Are you afraid that the monkey will harm Sakura-chan? Why?"

Minato looked thoughtful. Kakashi wouldn't speak without a purpose. There must be some reason why he wanted to hide it temporarily.

Izuna didn't understand, so she didn't comment. Madara had some guesses but was too lazy to say them.

"Okay, Kakashi sensei, I understand." Sakura nodded obediently, but couldn't help but ask curiously. "But why can't we tell the Sandaime-sama? And, will there be trouble if we don't tell him?"

Kakashi looked at Sakura and wanted to just say a few words to get by, but when he thought that not only Sakura, but also the previous Hokage and the Uchiha brothers were present, he thought he should reveal some information. Besides, Sakura herself also needed a sense of crisis. Kakashi touched the back of his neck and his tone sounded a little tired.

"Sakura, your bloodline limit is too special. If one day, the previous Hokage and the Uchiha brothers can manifest in the world, do you know how much impact this will have on Konoha's political structure? The balance of power and the balance of forces will be broken.

Some people don't want to see the previous Hokage come back, no matter if they have the intention to regain control of Konoha or not. Some people may even worry that you will have the ambition to become Hokage by relying on the previous Hokage. Even if you don't have such an intention, your existence is already a huge threat to some people.

Although the Sandaime is trustworthy, he is too soft-hearted and cannot let go of old feelings. He is easily deceived and manipulated. Revealing the news to him is equivalent to revealing it to those with ulterior motives.

And if those people want to do something, the best chance is to nip everything in the bud, which means, Sakura, your life will be in danger, and you don't know the darkness of Konoha yet.

Even if it's not Konoha's internal forces, as long as someone leaks this news to other ninja villages, you will become the target of public criticism, and naturally there will be a lot of people who want to kill you for the benefit of their own ninja village."

Kakashi paused to give Sakura time to digest it. His eyes were serious and full of worry. He leaned over and took Sakura's little hand, wrapped her hand in his palm and stroked it gently, and said sincerely.

"Ying, I will protect you with my life, but I am alone and I am afraid that I can't protect you completely, so, Ying, can we wait a little longer?"

When Minato and the others can reveal themselves, and when Sakura has the strength to protect herself, perhaps, then, they can also eradicate the corrupt branches within Konoha.

Sakura was shocked, she had never thought that her bloodline limit would cause such a profound problem, and she didn't know what darkness existed in Konoha, but Kakashi's seriousness and concern were fully conveyed to her. Sakura believed that Kakashi was not exaggerating, so she nodded seriously.

"I understand, Kakashi sensei, I will keep it a secret. I won't tell anyone until I can make Madara and the others appear."

"That's good, Sakura." Kakashi narrowed his eyes and smiled into gentle crescent eyes. Seeing Sakura's suspicious and frightened look, he comforted her again.

"Don't worry, Ying. No matter what happens, I will be by your side. You don't need to be afraid. These people haven't noticed you yet, so just relax and keep it natural."

Sakura nodded fearfully and asked, "Kakashi sensei, who are those people? Who should I be on guard against?"

Kakashi wanted to say it, but held back for a moment. "Sakura, it's not time for you to know yet. Knowing it too early will only put you in danger. What you need to do now is to work hard to develop your bloodline limit and try to make them appear as soon as possible."

When it comes to Sakura's safety, what I just said about taking it slow and not rushing was naturally just a joke.

Sakura nodded carefully, and she turned to look at Madara. His handsome face was expressionless, like a plaster statue, and he remained silent.

What Sakura couldn't hear was the confusion and thoughtfulness of the three previous Hokage.

Tobirama could not accept this the most. After all, the current leaders of Konoha were all his students, which was simply implying that he was not good at discipline and could not judge people well.

He said angrily. "What is the darkness in Konoha? What does Kakashi mean? What does it mean that the monkey is too soft-hearted and nostalgic? You are not speaking clearly, and you want people to guess? Just speak clearly. If there is really a problem with my people, I will clean up the mess myself!"

Hashirama hurriedly comforted his brother. "Calm down, Tobirama. We still don't know who Kakashi is talking about. It doesn't necessarily mean that there is a problem with the person you promoted."

Madara sneered secretly. He probably knew who Kakashi was talking about. Until the time of Obito, this man had always been full of prejudice and hostility towards the Uchiha people, and the source of this idea came from Tobirama Senju.

Minato couldn't help but frown. After he became Hokage, the elders had many complaints about him, especially Danzo. Minato had also heard about his ambitions. Unfortunately, before he could take action against Danzo's Root, he died in the line of duty.

So, is the tragic situation of his son Naruto so far related to the elders? Minato's cobalt blue eyes were also full of coldness. If this was true, for Naruto and Sakura, he would do whatever it takes to eradicate this cancer.

Now, Minato was really more anxious than anyone else to contact Sakura directly as soon as possible, so that he could get more information from Kakashi. Regarding the Nine-Tails Rebellion that year, Minato was still full of suspicion and distrust towards Uchiha Madara, so some things could not be conveyed through Uchiha Madara, and he had to do it himself.

Izuna was just a bystander the whole time. After all, he still had only a vague understanding of Konoha, but when it came to Sakura's safety, he would naturally eliminate each one as soon as possible.

After Sakura and Kakashi had their confession, they were finally able to relax and fall asleep. The next day, there was a commotion in the Tazna household upon learning that Sakura was awake, and Naruto kept running around Sakura with concern.

After Sakura woke up, she was supposed to move out of the room she shared with Kakashi and live with Dazna's daughter Tsunami, while Naruto and Sasuke moved back in with Kakashi. However, Sakura refused to move, saying that she was worried about Naruto and Sasuke taking care of teacher Kakashi.

The real reason is of course that Sakura needs to hone her bloodline limit. The way to improve the degree of compatibility requires understanding the person being summoned, which requires a lot of soliloquy.

Sakura has to guard Dazna during the day, and with Naruto and Sasuke present, Sakura can't find a time when she won't be disturbed, so naturally she can only use the night time. Kakashi already knows her bloodline limit, and he is the most suitable roommate, so it's not surprising that she talks to herself in the room.

But when this idea was put forward, Naruto was the first to refuse and immediately jumped up and shouted.

"Sakura-chan, why are you staying in the same room with Kakashi sensei? It's too unsafe and dangerous! Who knows if Kakashi sensei will attack you in the middle of the night? How about this, Sakura-chan and I stay in the same room, and Sasuke and Kakashi sensei stay in the same room!"

"Hey, Naruto, what do you think of your teacher? Don't talk like I'm a pervert." Kakashi murmured in protest.

Sasuke was also very surprised by Sakura's words. It was better to hear Sakura say that she wanted to share a room with him, but Kakashi? Didn't she usually dislike Kakashi? Now she said that she wanted to take care of Kakashi so she shared a room with him? Is there any hidden reason behind this?

"Sakura, are you sure?" Sasuke was full of doubts, but when he heard Naruto's words, he couldn't stand it anymore. "Naruto you idiot!"

Naruto yelled. "What did you say? Sasuke! I get it. Are you jealous? Do you also want to share a room with Sakura-chan? Let me tell you, I won't let you succeed! Sakura-chan must share a room with me!"

Before Sasuke could say anything, Sakura's veins popped out and she punched Naruto on the head, then stood with her hands on her hips and roared.

"Idiot Naruto! Stop arguing! When I said I wanted to share a room with Kakashi Sensei, I wanted to share a room!"

Minato was embarrassed, looking at Naruto holding his head and howling, circling around Sakura like a dog who refused to give up. He sighed again with regret for his son's obvious love for him. If he could, he really wanted to give his title of Sakura's soul mate to Naruto. God is so blind~

Naruto couldn't convince Sakura, so he could only point angrily at Kakashi. "Kakashi sensei, what do you say?"

Although Sasuke said nothing, he stared at Kakashi sharply.

Kakashi pretended to be weak, pulled up the quilt to cover his head, and groaned. "Ouch, I have no strength at all, my head hurts, I need to sleep, you guys decide, it doesn't matter who I sleep with, Sensei."

Sakura immediately got angry and pushed Naruto out. "Naruto, look at you! You disturbed Kakashi sensei. His body hasn't recovered yet. If you delay his recovery, will we have to deal with Zabuza and the others? Come on, stop making trouble and get out now!"

Sakura looked back at Sasuke again, hesitated, and bit her lip. "Sasuke-kun, you should go out too. I'll just take care of Kakashi sensei here."

Sasuke looked at Sakura in disbelief, then at Kakashi. After a moment, he snorted coldly, dragged Naruto, who was still reluctant to leave, by the collar, and walked out quickly, leaving behind only a cold and slightly irritable remark.

"Whatever you want! Take care of Kakashi if you want! If anything happens, don't blame us for not warning you!"

Kakashi rolled his eyes in his quilt. What does Sasuke mean? Is he afraid that he will attack Sakura? Does he really not trust his character? Besides, what does Sasuke mean by that? Sakura is not his, okay?

As soon as the door closed, Sakura slumped her shoulders in frustration, holding her head and wailing, "What should I do? Sasuke-kun must have misunderstood. Sasuke-kun, you have to wait for me, wait until I have made some progress in my training!"

Sakura shouted in vain towards the closed door.

Kakashi rolled his eyes again in the quilt. It was better that it was just a misunderstanding. The colder Sasuke was towards Sakura, the sooner Sakura would give up her love for Sasuke.

It has to be said that the rivals in love all have the same ideas. Madara Sakura also sneered at Sasuke's infatuation and enthusiasm.

"Don't shout, he can't hear you. You'd better give up Uchiha Sasuke as soon as possible. There's no chance for the two of you."

It would have been fine before, Haruno Sakura didn't know he was watching, but now that she knows, she's still infatuated with Sasuke in front of him, her soul mate. She really treats him like a dead person! Doesn't he have any dignity? Madara felt like a cloud was hanging over his head. Haruno Sakura, this red apricot, actually dared to cheat on him.

Ying was not happy about being thrown cold water, and turned around and said without thinking. "What do you care! Is it possible with you?"

Being despised, Madara was really angry, and grinned, "Originally it was impossible, after all, a little girl like you can't reach me, but since you said so, even if it's impossible, I have to make some possibilities."

Madara also has a typical rebellious personality. The more he is told not to do something, the more he wants to do it. He is also arrogant. How can he accept that his soul mate looks down on him? As a grown man, he should be more mature and not bother with a little girl. But maybe his soul mate is really his natural nemesis. Madara found that he just couldn't stay calm when facing Haruno Sakura, and he became much more childish. That's why he didn't communicate with Haruno Sakura for much time. He didn't have any ideas at first, but now he has ideas because of her anger.

Sakura was startled and immediately leaned back, alert. "Ban, what do you want to do? Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of being scared."

Kakashi also quickly sat up and asked alertly, "Sakura, what's wrong? What is Madara going to do? Come, come to my side."

He waved at Sakura, who quickly ducked over to Kakashi and grabbed his sleeves with both hands.

Madara tutted, not happy about Sakura seeking Kakashi's protection. She knew to hide from him but not Kakashi? Why wasn't she afraid of what Kakashi would do to her?

As for Kakashi's protective attitude, Madara was even more displeased. After all, unlike Sasuke, Sakura was only too eager to take on the responsibility, while Kakashi was a genuine soul mate and a big threat.

Madara really wanted to grab Sakura over to him, as the way she leaned against Kakashi was an eyesore. But before Madara could move, Hashirama put his head in front of him and looked him up and down with a look of curiosity and surprise.

"Madara, you don't really have any thoughts about Sakura-chan, do you? She's still young, don't be impulsive."

It was rare for Hashirama to see Madara get so angry. Madara actually had a very calm personality, except when he was facing himself, where his emotions often fluctuated greatly. Now, there was Sakura.

Madara rolled his eyes, "Hashirama, what are you talking about!"

"What you said just now will cause misunderstanding." Tobirama said dissatisfiedly. It is impossible for Haruno Sakura to be with them. What is Madara planning to do!

Izuna immediately supported her brother. "Don't say if it's a misunderstanding. Even if it's true, Sakura and Madara are soul mates, so it's not surprising that Madara has some thoughts."

"You talk as if everyone here isn't Haruno Sakura's soul mate, but apart from you and Madara, do we have any ideas?" Tobirama sneered. It would be better if Madara didn't have any ideas about Sakura, otherwise he would never let Sakura and Madara be together.

Hashirama feels that one cannot speak absolutely, but when it comes to disputes between his brother and Apocalypse's friends, he always adheres to the principle of keeping in the dark, and will only try to mediate when the dispute gets too big.

Hashirama tried to smooth things over again. "Oh, come on, I don't even know what you're arguing about."

Minato felt a hint of Shura Field. Uchiha Madara was obviously distracted, but wasn't the second generation's words a bit sour? He didn't do it himself, and he didn't allow others to do it?

Madara was too lazy to continue the meaningless argument with Tobirama, so he turned his head away and ended the argument.

Seeing that Madara suddenly calmed down, Sakura let go of Kakashi's sleeve and sat down obediently again.

Kakashi knew from Sakura's actions that everything should be fine, but he realized a problem belatedly. He was so amazed at Sakura's bloodline limit that he didn't realize that Sakura summoned not only the previous Hokage and the Uchiha brothers, but also her soul mate!

Although they are already dead, if they were to reappear in the future, they would be no different from living people. Would they be able to resist attacking Ying? Would Ying be attracted to them? If they were to spend every day together, there was no guarantee that something would not happen!

Kakashi suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. He thought he had no competitors and had plenty of time to slowly consider his relationship with Sakura. But now, what should he do? Give up? Kakashi was subconsciously extremely reluctant to give up Sakura. But if he didn't give up, would he be trapped in the Shura Field in the future? Kakashi could only hope that Minato and the others would be more clear-headed, realize that humans and ghosts are different, and that there is a difference between life and death, and not to provoke Sakura.

Ying then curiously poked her head out and asked, "Sensei, how do you feel now?"

Kakashi immediately drooped his brows and said in a weak tone, almost like a spoiled child. "No, I don't feel well."

Sakura's face immediately showed worry. She reached out and touched Kakashi's forehead before she breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, you don't have a fever. If you feel uncomfortable, you can only rest more. You will feel better if you sleep."

Sakura asked again, not understanding. "But how did this happen?"

Kakashi was slightly distracted, feeling the warmth of Sakura's little hand and the gentle care. After a moment, he came back to his senses and explained with a sigh.

"It's a side effect of the Sharingan. After all, I'm not an Uchiha, so I can't turn off the Sharingan. When I use the eye technique, it consumes a lot of my chakra. This time, I overused it and my chakra was exhausted."

Madara perked up again and sneered, "Humph, do you think our Uchiha eyes are so easy to use? How can it be possible without paying a price?"

Sakura glanced at Madara speechlessly, and then she worriedly scolded Kakashi. "What? Although the Sharingan is very good, it actually puts such a heavy burden on the body. You should think carefully before using it next time. If it falls down, it will not only make people worry, but it will also be dangerous for Kakashi himself, right?"

"Hey, got it." Kakashi begged for mercy with dead eyes. Sakura, did she treat him like her son? She was totally disrespectful.

"Forget it, sensei, you should rest for a while, I'll bring you breakfast later." Sakura helped Kakashi lie down and went out.

Konohanasakiyahiki Kavenka is dead, so let's update the soul mate first.

Chapter 15 : chapter 15

Chapter Text

When Sakura opened the door again, she greeted with a tray in her hands. "Kakashi sensei, I brought breakfast."

She instructed after placing the tray next to Kakashi's tatami bed.

"Well, sensei, take your time eating. Sasuke-kun, Naruto and I are leaving together to protect Dazna-san. Tsunami-san said he would bring you lunch at noon."

After many attempts and tracking, there was still no chance to see Kakashi's true face. Sakura had long given up the idea of secretly looking at Kakashi's face while he was eating. As long as he didn't want to, she would never see it. Even if she didn't blink, all kinds of strange coincidences might happen, resulting in her not being able to see it. Therefore, Sakura had no intention of using this opportunity to launch another hopeless challenge.

Of course, it is also possible that Ying feels a little uncomfortable because she knows that there are five soul mates around her who are watching her at all times, and naturally does not dare to act recklessly.

But unexpectedly, while Sakura had no idea, Kakashi caused trouble. He groaned, sat up slowly, looked at the food on the tray with an embarrassed look, and spoke in a weak voice.

"Ying, I don't have the strength in my hands. I can't eat."

Sakura paused and turned back, her green eyes full of suspicion. "But, sensei, you felt very strong when you pulled my hand last night?"

He was touching and rubbing her non-stop. Sakura was shocked by the Konoha secrets revealed by Kakashi and didn't react. But now that she thinks about it, it feels like Kakashi is taking advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of her.

Kakashi remained calm and continued to pretend to be a weak white lotus, humming, "You are wrong. Look, I can't even lift a spoon."

As he spoke, he held the spoon with a trembling hand, but soon the spoon slipped from his hand and fell on the edge of the bowl with a crisp sound.

Sakura was slightly surprised, then her eyes turned flexibly and she asked tentatively, "So, Kakashi sensei, you want me to..."

Is that what she meant? If so, it's not impossible. Sakura is still very curious about Kakashi's true appearance. Now that the opportunity is in front of her, Sakura will of course seize it.

Let's take it out for a walk to see if it's a mule or a horse. If he's good-looking, she can consider Kakashi sensei. If he's not, then it's better to give up as soon as possible and not worry about it anymore. As a firm and senior member of the Appearance Association, Sakura will never fall for a face that doesn't meet her aesthetic standards. No matter if this is her soul mate or not, the most she can do is give him a nice guy card.

Although the pink-haired girl looked indifferent and spoke in a calm tone, her eyes revealed deep anticipation and excitement. Kakashi saw it and smiled secretly, knowing that Sakura would take the bait.

He drooped his eyebrows and pretended to be pitiful. "Yes, it's just as you think. So, can Ying feed the teacher?"

Kakashi had not originally planned to show up so early. It was a pleasure for Kakashi to see her try again and again but always fail. But now the world had changed and there was already an age gap between him and Sakura. If he didn't give himself some bargaining chips, it would be too late for him to regret if this little girl ran off with someone else. Kakashi himself hadn't made up his mind yet and didn't know whether to accept Sakura as her soul mate. But that was his business and it didn't mean that Sakura could just strike him out as her soul mate. So he at least needed to stabilize her first and not let her ignore the possibility of him as her future partner.

Sakura proudly put her hands on her hips, happy in her heart, but still said something arrogantly. "Well, since Kakashi Sensei has asked me so much, I will help you reluctantly. But you must thank me well, Sensei~"

"Yes, yes, but you've helped a lot, Sakura. The teacher will treat you to a meal when you go back." Kakashi curved his eyes and simply agreed with Sakura. He was even thoughtful enough to arrange their next date alone.

Sakura's green cat eyes widened in surprise, then she immediately snickered and tried to blackmail Kakashi.

"Really? Kakashi sensei, you're such a cheapskate, you actually agreed to treat us? Then I'm going to the most expensive restaurant in the village, sensei, you better be prepared to bleed a lot!"

Sakura just said it casually and didn't expect Kakashi to really agree. She thought Ichiraku would be the final choice, but she didn't expect Kakashi to agree immediately in a heroic tone.

"Ying, you have misunderstood me. I am not stingy. This time, Ying can go wherever she wants and eat whatever she likes. I can afford to treat you ten times."

Money should be spent wisely. His money didn't come from the wind. The little brat is eating him up and bankrupting him. If he keeps treating him, he can't support Naruto and Sasuke, two growing teenagers. He naturally has to treat Sakura equally, but the situation is different now. To pursue a girl, he has to spend a lot of money. Although Kakashi has never pursued a girl before, it will never be wrong to keep in mind the guidance of Intimate Paradise.

Sakura was really surprised now. Although she was excited in her heart that she could blackmail Kakashi, she pretended to refuse.

"Teacher, I was just joking. You don't have to be so polite."

"Yes, after all, I will have to trouble Sakura for a while." Kakashi said with a gentle smile, his voice was magnetic and low, and sounded particularly seductive.

Sakura scratched her face rather dully, thinking that Kakashi's attitude was a little strange. "Oh, well, that's what you said, teacher, don't regret it later."

Sakura didn't figure out Kakashi's subtle changes, but at least three of the five spirits behind him were people with high emotional intelligence and rich experience with women. How could they not see Kakashi's intentions? They were all foxes that had become spirits. What was the point of playing Liao Zhai with them?

Izuna's eyes were almost red, and she gritted her teeth. "Kakashi, you bastard! He's going to do it right now? He even found an excuse for the next date. How shameless!"

Minato didn't expect that once Kakashi made up his mind, he would act so quickly. It seemed that their appearance really put a lot of pressure on Kakashi, and he didn't even pretend.

Hashirama touched his chin. "Hmm~, so, it's not that Kakashi doesn't know how to chase women, but whether he is willing to do it. Sakura-chan should not be easily tempted by sugar-coated bullets. Daughters really must be pampered, so that they will not be easily deceived by men's little favors. No, Madara, you must remind Sakura-chan not to be deceived by any high-end restaurants. Those are all means for men to get women. Let her be more careful."

Madara looked at Hashirama with a strange expression. "Why do you know so much? Hashirama, do you often do this? So, I seem to have heard of your reputation in the flower street?"

Hashirama's eyes wandered, he touched his head and laughed, pretending to be stupid. "What are you talking about, Madara, am I that kind of person?"

The next moment, seeing Sakura turning her head curiously, Hashirama remembered that Sakura could hear what Madara said. He suddenly became anxious, grabbed Madara's collar and shook him.

"Wait, wait, Madara, please don't ruin my reputation. It would be bad if Sakura-chan misunderstood me. You should explain it to her!"

Madara was getting impatient with being dazzled, and he rolled his eyes and pushed away Hashirama's hand, "What do you want to explain? Did I say anything wrong?"

Izuna also sneered. "I've heard that too, Hashirama. You're the biggest fat sheep in the casinos and the red-light district, aren't you? You're promiscuous and a big gambler. I wonder if those people in Konoha were blind to choose you as the Hokage?"

Tobirama's face was tense, his elder brother was indeed a bit unrefined when it came to gambling and women, so he had nothing to say.

Minato also looked at the Shodaime with some surprise. This was really surprising, but his granddaughter Tsunade also loved gambling. It seemed that it was indeed hereditary.

Madara refused to explain, and Hashirama was extremely angry. Although he didn't want to do anything with Sakura now, he didn't want Sakura to think he was a pervert and stay away from him in the future.

Hashirama smiled grimly. "Madara, just wait! When I can communicate with Sakura-chan, I will tell her everything about your visit to the flower street!"

Come on, let's hurt each other! Does he not know that Madara and Izuna also go to the flower street? They just don't go as much as him. We are all men, why do we have to laugh at each other?

"Humph, am I afraid you will say that?" Ban was a little lacking in confidence, but he refused to admit defeat. "Even if she did, what would happen? That little girl..."

Seeing Sakura turn her head and stare at him with curiosity, Madara immediately swallowed the second half of his sentence. Things like red-light district are not suitable for children to listen to, so let's leave the topic at that.

Hashirama got even angrier when he saw this. "Come on, why don't you say anything? Madara, you still need to save face, but don't I need to save face?"

Madara rolled his eyes and closed his mouth without saying a word.

Tobirama sighed and rubbed his brows, thinking that this conversation was childish but full of loopholes, but he had nothing to fear as he was upright. Although he had been to the red-light district, it was all for missions and he didn't do anything reckless, so he wasn't afraid of being exposed in the future.

Minato felt slightly guilty, he was not completely innocent, when he was in the Anbu, sometimes it was due to mission requirements and sometimes due to heavy pressure, he had indulged himself a few times, but of course that was completely gone after he married Kushina.

Sakura was very curious about the reputation of the First Hokage in the red-light district, but since Madara didn't tell her, she couldn't ask Madara without going through the First Hokage himself. Perhaps, she could ask the First Hokage directly in the future?

Sakura thought about it without stopping her hands. She picked up the small bowl, scooped a spoonful of porridge with a spoon, blew it to cool it down, and brought it to Kakashi. "Sensei, it's time to eat."

She stared at Kakashi without blinking. I hope there won't be any accidents this time. Sakura swallowed hard, feeling nervous.

But this time Kakashi was determined, so he grabbed his mask and pulled it down casually but extremely quickly, exposing his entire face to Sakura.

Although he was confident about his face, Kakashi was also quite nervous in his heart. He also stared closely at Sakura's every reaction.

Sakura opened her mouth and stared blankly at Kakashi's face. How to put it, it was more surprising than she had imagined, he didn't look his age at all, and didn't look like a man in his thirties at all.

This is a face that is a perfect combination of sharpness and sharpness with delicateness and gentleness. The jaw is a standard oval face of a beauty. The lips, which were once controversial, have perfect proportions, moderate thickness, and fit the whole face exceptionally well.

He doesn't have the kind of rough masculine beauty that is very manly, nor can he simply be said to have the feminine handsomeness and beauty like Sasuke and Madara. Kakashi is handsome at a glance, but the small mole at the corner of his lip adds a touch of enchantment to his whole face, making his face even more attractive.

Sakura felt her heartbeat getting faster and faster, like a drum, and her face became redder and redder. She finally understood why Miss Ayame's eyes were red after seeing Teacher Kakashi, because she was the same! What should she do if she likes this face so much!

Sakura's infatuated look did not escape Kakashi's observation. He felt relieved and began to want to tease her. Kakashi deliberately moved closer to Sakura, smiled seductively and asked in a magnetic and alluring voice.

"Sakura, are you satisfied with what you see?"

Izuna was furious. "You're actually seducing me! Kakashi is so shameless! When Sakura sees me, I'll let her know who's more handsome!"

Tobirama's expression was also very ugly, and he said angrily, "Is this appropriate? What does Kakashi want to do? Does he still remember that he is a teacher? He actually seduces his own student?"

With a clatter, Sakura's spoon fell directly to the ground. She suddenly covered her cheeks, feeling as hot as boiling water, and stammered in response. "What? Kakashi sensei, what did you just say?"

Kakashi smiled again, but before he could say anything, Sakura turned her head away as if her eyes were pierced by strong light, half covering her eyes with her hands.

"Ah! Don't look at me like that! It's too glaring, Kakashi sensei, I can hardly see what you look like!"

Handsome guys all have golden light effects. With Sakura's filter fully turned on, Kakashi is so dazzling that he can't be looked at directly. Isn't he too handsome? This is simply cheating. How can she refuse Kakashi in the future? Sasuke, wait for me. I'm just getting lost for a while and will come back later.

Sakura is also drooling, no wonder Kakashi has to cover his face, this is indeed enough to charm anyone from 80 to 80 years old, Sakura wipes her saliva, we are eating too well, Madara's face is also super handsome, what should I do? Sakura, it's so hard to choose~

Ying held her cheeks and was also in a state of happy worry. Could she have both? She didn't have to do anything, and she was happy just looking at them every day.

Madara stared at Sakura with his mouth watering and hearts in his eyes, and he was also very annoyed. "This little girl is really only interested in looks. At such a young age, she only knows how to look at handsome guys!"

Sakura heard it, her brain still immersed in the beauty was completely out of control, she turned around, held her cheeks, blushed, and said directly. "Ban, you are also very beautiful, I love to look at you too."

"What? You..." Madara choked, then blushed. Was he being teased by a little girl?

Kakashi's smile froze. Uchiha Madara is also very good-looking? Judging from the statue in the Valley of the End, he should be good-looking. Doesn't that mean he has no advantage?

Minato felt like he had entered a peacock farm. It was no problem for Sakura to spread her feathers, but Sakura was only 12 years old. No matter how brilliantly she spread her feathers now, it would be useless, right? Of course, Minato was not afraid of comparing faces.

Hashirama touched his face unconfidently. Although he thought he looked quite handsome, compared with Madara, women usually liked his face more than his own. Hashirama poked Tobirama.

"Um, Tobirama, do you think Sakura-chan would like my face?"

Tobirama rolled his eyes unbearably. "Brother, men are not judged by appearance! Don't let Kakashi lead you astray!"

"But Sakura-chan look." Hashirama blinked and pouted in grievance.

Tobirama's chest tightened and choked, but after a moment, he narrowed his eyes in suspicion. "Brother, why do you care so much?"

Big brother shouldn't have any idea about Sakura, right? Tobirama frowned. "Didn't we reach a consensus to let Sakura pursue her own happiness?"

Who told you? When? Why doesn't he remember? Hashirama blinked blankly and looked back, but seeing Tobirama's eyebrows raised higher and higher, looking unhappy, Hashirama didn't want to argue with Tobirama over something that didn't exist, so he comforted him. "Okay, I'll just ask, you don't have to think too much."

After seeing the handsome Kakashi, Sakura's attitude was unusually gentle. She fed him carefully and properly, spoke softly and showed concern. There was no more complaints or disgust. Kakashi really felt Sasuke's daily treatment, and he enjoyed it very much.

But when Kakashi finished his meal, he immediately felt the difference between ice and fire. Sakura perfectly demonstrated the contrast between her excellent attitude when she took off her mask and zero attitude when she put on her mask. Kakashi was completely speechless about Sakura's personality of only looking at the face. Well, it seems that he has to show his face more often in the future.

Chapter 16 : chapter 16

Chapter Text

Seeing the handsome guy, who was also her soul mate, made Sakura's mood brighten up for the whole day. With a hazy smile on her face, she skipped and skipped as she went to meet Sasuke and Naruto. Both of them noticed that she was unusual.

"Sakura-chan, what's wrong with you? Why does your smile sound a bit disgusting?" Naruto put his hands on the back of his head and carelessly flicked the tiger's whiskers.

"You are disgusting!" Sakura was immediately furious and punched Naruto in the face with a powerful killing punch, knocking him away.

Minato looked at Naruto who had turned into a star in the sky and sighed. If he could reveal his true form, should he personally teach Naruto how to pursue girls correctly?

Sasuke also looked at Sakura with a slight doubt in his eyes. Sakura turned around and looked at Sasuke's eyes. She felt a little guilty for some reason and couldn't help but confess and added a sentence with an embarrassed smile.

"Sasuke-kun, I still think you're the best looking."

Sakura looked at Sasuke with shyness and starry eyes. Although Kakashi Sensei is good, it's a pity that he is a little older. Sasuke is still the most suitable for her.

When Sasuke saw that it was Haruno Sakura who was chasing him as usual, he was relieved and lost interest. He snorted, "What nonsense are you talking about."

Izunai's mood improved. After rounding off, Sakura still felt that this face of his was the most suitable for her preferences. He said proudly, "Sakura has good taste. But next time, don't look for a substitute. Wait for me, your genuine soul mate, to show up."

This narcissistic statement made Tobirama unable to help but retort. "You are the substitute, right? The girl obviously likes Uchiha Sasuke, you are flattering yourself, Izuna, you are so shameless!"

Izuna was not affected at all, and was still full of confidence. "How can a young boy like Sasuke who doesn't know how to please girls compare to me? What's more, I have the super buff bonus of soulmate. Sakura will definitely like me in the future."

He looked at Tobirama mockingly again. "As for you, Senju Shirako, you must stick to what you said. Don't go back on your word and pursue Sakura, otherwise you will be a despicable Senju!"

Tobirama was very angry, his face was livid, and he said coldly, "Then let's make it clear today, Izuna, are you really not kidding? Are you determined to pursue Haruno Sakura?"

Tobirama will not go back on his word, but the premise is that these dead people must abide by their duties, know the difference between life and death, and not pursue Sakura. If Izuna insists on pursuing Sakura, then he will definitely not sit idly by and let Izuna destroy Sakura's normal and happy life.

"You're the only one who thinks this is a joke. I never joke." Izunai sneered. Wasn't his attitude clear enough?

He did regret at the beginning that he and Sakura were separated by life and death and could not be together, but since he knew that in the end he would be able to appear in the world like a living person, Izuna's mind suddenly became active. Why couldn't he really be with Sakura?

He looked at Hashirama and Minato again and smiled.

"Hashirama, Minato, you two don't have that kind of interest in Sakura, right? Then you must persevere to the end, and never snatch Sakura from me in the future~"

Hashirama and Minato were looked at with warning eyes by Izuna. On the one hand, they felt speechless at his declaration of sovereignty before he even started, and on the other hand, they felt a little uncomfortable with his exclusive possessiveness of Sakura.

When Tobirama heard Izuna's brazen remarks, he felt that he really died too early. He was so young, and he did things without considering the consequences? He laughed in anger.

"No kidding? You are kidding! You and Ying are together, and then what? You may be able to be a husband, but can you give her a child? What if Ying is looking forward to a normal family life? How can you give her a child?

Or, she is young and naive, and thinks it doesn't matter if she doesn't have children, but can you guarantee that she will never change her mind? What if Ying regrets it in the future? Will you let her go and let her find someone else to marry? Or can you tolerate it?"

Izuna was stunned for a moment, and looked at Tobirama with strange eyes. "I haven't thought about such far-reaching things, but you think so carefully? Tobirama, you still say you don't have any thoughts? If you don't have any thoughts, why do you think so far ahead? You even consider things like having children."

Madara, Hashirama, and Minato all looked at Tobirama with strange expressions. Wasn't this a bit too much preparation? To be honest, Tobirama, you are the one who really wants to be with Sakura, but you are uncertain about the future and are tangled up and dare not take action. How is this different from the guy who has even thought about the name of the future child as soon as he sees the girl?

Tobirama folded his arms across his chest and snorted. "I'm not like you who only seeks momentary pleasure. That's completely irresponsible!"

Izuna laughed. "Tobirama, you are a coward and don't have the confidence to make Sakura happy, so don't make excuses. Children and the like are all things of the future. Only fools would give up the happiness in front of them for something uncertain. Forget it, don't talk nonsense to me. If you don't want to do it, don't hinder others from doing it. Anyway, I am determined to pursue Sakura."

"As for the child," Izunai said jokingly after a brief pause. "I won't let Sakura be lonely and need a child to comfort and fill her life. I will keep her so busy that she won't have time to think about these things."

Tobirama hated the hidden metaphor in Izuna's words, and was also extremely annoyed by his resolute attitude of being completely unmoved, so he shouted angrily, "Izuna, you are so selfish! You don't even consider what Sakura thinks!"

Izuna twirled her hair with her fingers and snorted. "Do you know what Sakura is thinking? Are the two of them together just to continue the family line? How do you know what the outcome will be if you haven't tried it? Being timid and hesitant like you? This is a common problem for older people, Tobirama, it seems that you are really old."

Tobirama saw that he couldn't make sense with Izuna at all, and he wanted to draw his sword and chop Izuna off. And Uchiha Izuna actually said that he was old? This is clearly a mature and thoughtful consideration!

The sword was half-pulled out when he was naturally grabbed by Hashirama again, who forcibly pulled him away from Izuna. Hashirama tried to persuade him for a long time, and finally got Tobirama to stop temporarily. However, Hashirama knew that this matter was definitely not over.

Minato also secretly admired Uchiha Izuna for recognizing her feelings so early. What about him? He loved Kushina and Naruto, so he couldn't love Sakura anymore. However, there was a hole in his heart that could not be filled. Minato sighed and looked up at the sky. Why did God make it difficult for him?

Madara hesitated to look at his brother, and Izuna noticed his look and said with a smile, "Brother Madara, others can't do it, but you can. Sakura, I and you, the three of us can live together. We will live with Sakura until we grow old together, and do things together that we have never tried before. There will be no endless wars, no responsibilities that the Uchiha family must bear. This time, we can live a happy and comfortable life."

Madara looked at Izuna who was expressing her beautiful expectations for the future in a cheerful tone. After a moment, he softly responded, saying that one would surely be able to live such a wonderful life in the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Sakura was unaware of the dispute surrounding her, nor the complicated atmosphere that permeated among the five people. She, Naruto, and Sasuke escorted Dazna to the construction site of the bridge, and then concentrated on taking on the responsibility of protecting Dazna.

At the same time, in Konoha, in the cemetery, a rotating vortex suddenly appeared in an empty place. Uchiha Obito slowly walked out of the vortex without triggering any village alarms.

Obito was holding a bunch of lavender bellflowers in his hand. He quickly noticed that the pink and white lilies in front of the grave were almost withered, which meant that Kakashi had not come to sweep Lin's grave in the past few days.

Obito once again picked up the half-dead lilies, put his bouquet in place, and finally couldn't help but complain in a deep voice.

"Kakashi, how long are you going to send lilies? Lin doesn't like the scent of scented lilies at all. She doesn't like white either. She loves lavender!"

No matter how many times he threw away the lilies Kakashi gave him, that bastard Kakashi never realized that something was wrong. Except when he was on missions and not in the village, he would place a bunch of pink and white lilies in front of Lin's tombstone every five days as a routine, and it has been thirteen years now. He was indeed persistent and loyal enough, but he didn't understand Lin's preferences at all!

Obito has more resentment and anger in his heart than ever before, because after Kakashi's soul mate appeared, Kakashi will only forget about Rin more and more. The most special place in his heart will be left to another girl, not Rin. No matter whether Kakashi loved Rin at the beginning, Rin is no longer the irreplaceable one.

But what scares Obito is that Kakashi's future transformation may not be a reflection of his own future, because they share a soul mate.

Obito could not deny that on the way here, he was eagerly looking forward to meeting his soul mate with all his heart. It was not until he stepped into Konoha that Obito suddenly realized that he had not even thought of Rin. Then, a huge sense of guilt hit Obito directly. Anyone could forget Rin, but he could not. He would not allow Kakashi to forget Rin.

Obito almost never sent flowers to Rin's grave, for fear of arousing suspicion. Rin's family had long passed away, and except for Kakashi, her grave had always been deserted. But today, Obito bought a bouquet of flowers, as if to make up for it, or as if he was trying to hide something.

Obito stood in front of Rin's grave for a long time, until he noticed that other people came to visit the grave. Then he made a transformation seal and left the cemetery.

Walking on the streets of Konoha, the familiar sight of his hometown made Obito's steps slow down. Kakashi was not in Konoha, and he could sense his other eye at a very long distance, so he must have gone out on a mission. So, did he take Haruno Sakura with him as well?

Obito was a little disappointed for a moment. Although the Kamui space was connected, it was impossible for Obito to let Kakashi discover this connection. If the coordinates were not set in advance like Konoha, Obito naturally could not go directly to Kakashi through Kamui.

It seems that this trip was in vain. Although he thought so, Obito arrived at the Ninja Academy with repeated steps. The Ninja Academy should still have files for students who graduated not long ago, right?

Although he couldn't see her in person, Obito was very curious about what his soul mate Haruno Sakura looked like. After all, knowing only her hair color and eye color was not enough to imagine her true appearance.

The illusion cast by the Mangekyo Sharingan was completely irresistible to ordinary Chunins, so Obito quickly got the file of Haruno Sakura. Before opening it, Obito's heart was beating fast and his hands were shaking slightly. He took a deep breath and then suddenly opened the file.

Obito had imagined what his soul mate would look like. Would it be a short-haired girl who was as gentle and cheerful as Rin? Although he didn't want to use his soul mate as a substitute for Rin, he couldn't help but use Rin's appearance to fit the image of his imaginary soul mate, except that she would have pink hair and blue eyes.

But when he really saw the photo of Sakura Haruno, Obito found that it was far beyond his imagination and expectations.

Rin's life was frozen at the age of 13. After that, Obito's emotional world and his perspective on women also remained at the age of 13. Even though he has been an adult for a long time, mature women still feel like an out-of-range option for him.

So, his heart was immediately grasped by the pink-haired girl in the photo, and his heart began to beat violently again.

Haruno Sakura is very beautiful, so beautiful that she can definitely stand out even in a crowd, and you will be attracted to her at first sight. Under her soft and shiny pink long hair is a heart-shaped face the size of a palm. Her facial features are perfect and exquisite like a doll. She has an exceptionally bright and charming appearance, as brilliant as spring, but her beautiful appearance is also the kind that can easily arouse the bad desires of some men. She feels like the type that needs to be well protected.

The little girl in the photo has a sweet smile and an innocent look. Her blue eyes sparkle with a mischievous and lively light. She looks lively, but also a little delicate and squeamish, like a pampered Persian cat.

Obito smiled unconsciously. Rin was very beautiful, and Kurenai Yuhi was also a beauty in their class, but Haruno Sakura was still uniquely beautiful and eye-catching.

Obito stroked the photo of Haruno Sakura twice before continuing to browse her file, and was pleasantly surprised to find that Sakura was as smart as Rin. Rin was the girl with the best grades in his class, so she was assigned to Minato's class in the Hokage department.

The same goes for Sakura. Her theoretical score is the best in the grade, which is even better than Lin's at that time. After all, Kakashi is the best in their grade. No wonder Sakura was able to enter Kakashi's class in the end.

However, Sakura is a bit weak in actual combat, much worse than Lin back then, but this is understandable. Now is not wartime, and the training is not so hard and strict. But the evaluation of her is that Sakura has a talent for illusion, which is better than Lin. Lin did not have any outstanding strengths at the time, and it was only after graduation that she decided to use medical ninjutsu as her final direction of improvement.

Obito read through all of Sakura's files, wrote down her address, put the files back as they were, then left the Ninja Academy and went to Sakura's house.

Like Rin, she was also born into a commoner family and lived on the second floor of a house. After Obito observed the house and found that there was no one in it, he simply broke in. He quickly found Sakura's room, and then searched the whole room like a stalker.

The first thing Obito saw was the group photo of Team 7 beside Sakura's bed. He was stunned. It seemed like a reincarnation. Minato's class and Kakashi's class were so similar. Kakashi was there, and there was also Uchiha in the team. The blond Uzumaki Naruto looked like Minato's teacher, and in the middle was Sakura, who was smiling cutely and obediently.

Obito looked for a while before turning away. He admired the photos of Sakura from childhood to adulthood until dusk. After feeling that someone had returned, Obito left his coordinates and left reluctantly. Before leaving, Obito stole a recent photo of Sakura, so that when he could not help it in the future, he could think of her by looking at the photo. Not seeing Sakura was for his own good, as well as hers.

Sakura didn't know she had a stalker soul mate who was secretly watching her, she looked up at the setting sun, stretched comfortably, and then, together with Sasuke, Naruto, and Dazna who had finished work, went back to his home.

At night, Sakura couldn't suppress the infatuated smile on her face as she fed Kakashi another beauty attack. Then, taking advantage of the quiet night when no one was disturbing her, she began to prepare to deepen the compatibility between herself and the five soul mates.

Sakura asked Liying what to do specifically. Liying's suggestion was that she needed to first fully understand every aspect of her soul mates, then imagine their images in her mind, find and feel their chakras, and connect them. The more the chakras of both parties were connected, the higher the compatibility between the two parties would be.

Sakura held up a notebook with a pen in hand and looked at Madara with great interest. "Well, Madara, let's start training. Let's start by getting to know you!"

Next to him, Kakashi paused while flipping through the hands of the intimate paradise and asked curiously, "What do you mean by understanding?"

Ying's round, chubby cheeks formed a cute dimple when she smiled, looking adorable and attractive. She listed them one by one. "Of course, you have to know everything about each person, such as height, blood type, what they like to eat, what they hate, what they like to do on a daily basis, etc. Anyway, the more you know about a person's life, the more compatible you will be."

Kakashi's eyes suddenly turned dead. "Why do you look so much like a little girl gossiping and chasing after a celebrity?"

"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! Kakashi sensei." Sakura turned around and said something harsh to Kakashi, then looked at Madara again.

"By the way, Madara, after asking you, can you help convey the answers of the Shodaime, the Nidaime, the Yondaime, and Izuna-san?

Madara watched Sakura write his name in the notebook and draw several cute little round and plump red flames next to it. He felt goosebumps all over his body. Is this a serious practice? It really felt like what Kakashi said about little girls gossiping and chasing stars. He raised his eyebrows.

"Have you read our biography? It explains it very clearly."

Ying pouted, "That's different. It doesn't say what you like to eat?"

Madara was speechless. Is it really necessary to know this kind of thing?

Ying patted her notebook, cleared her throat, and tried to put on a serious face before starting to ask questions, but there was still uncontrollable excitement and curiosity in her words.

"Okay, Madara, be serious and don't interrupt. Now, question one, Madara, what is your date of birth?"

The corner of Madara's mouth twitched, and he told himself in his heart that all this was for the purpose of revealing himself and for the sake of the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Then he gritted his teeth and cooperated with this childish training that seemed like playing house, and dug out the date of his birth that he had almost forgotten from the depths of his distant memory.

"December 24, Keicho 46."

"Huh? Keicho? Isn't it the Konoha calendar? Which year is that? Wait, let me calculate." Sakura exclaimed, and then felt that she had asked a stupid question. Konoha was founded by Madara and the Shodaime, so of course his birthday was before that. After Sakura calculated the time by counting on her fingers, she exclaimed again.

"Wow, 99 years have passed so far this year. It's incredible. So why would God think that people from 100 years ago can become soul mates with people from 100 years later? It doesn't make sense at all."

"You ask me this, who should I ask?" Madara rolled his eyes. He still wanted to know.

Hashirama interrupted, "Sakura-chan, I was also born in the 46th year of Keicho, but my birthday is October 23rd. Tobirama is two years younger than me, and his birthday is February 19th of the first year of Genkou. That year, the daimyo was changed, so the era name was changed."

Tobirama was helpless about his elder brother's meddling in his affairs, and when he heard his own date of birth being reported, he felt indescribably embarrassed.

Madara sighed, but still repeated what Hashirama said, and then added the birthday of his brother Izuna, "Izuna is four years younger than me. He was born on February 10th in the second year of Genko."

When Minato saw that everyone had reported it, he quickly raised his hand, "Um, Madara-san, could you please tell me something as well? I was born on January 25th, the 27th year of Konoha."

Madara continued to retell the story without further ado.

Ying was a little flustered. "Huh? Wait, let me write it down."

She quickly opened a few more pages and wrote the names of Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Izuna Uchiha and Minato Namikaze on each piece of paper. Then, Madara saw with a dark line that Sakura drew green vines and red flowers next to Hashirama's name, small blue waves next to Tobirama's name, small purple flames and a mini samurai sword next to Izuna's name, and blue wind lines next to Minato's name.

While Madara was complaining in his heart about the overly cute little girl style decorations, he was also surprised at her keen sense. These decorations were very consistent with the attributes of their elemental ninjutsu. Was this a coincidence or something else?

The others also saw the decorations Sakura had drawn, so Madara simply asked, "Why did you draw these decorations?"

Sakura looked at the beautification patterns she had drawn casually, and said in confusion. "Because in my opinion, you are like this? When I caught Madara and possessed you, in my opinion, you were a ball of fire."

Everyone then realized that the possession was actually Sakura's conscious choice and grasping, but after hearing her reasons, Tobirama couldn't help but complain.

"Fire overcomes water? You have totally failed the Five Elements Mutual Generation and Mutual Restraint Learning! Normally, water should overcome fire. To deal with Zabuza, it is better to ask me instead of Madara, or ask big brother, the wood element can restrain water."

Madara snorted. "Who said Sakura made the wrong choice? The fire was strong enough that this water couldn't put it out. Zabuza used water, but what was the use? He was still severely injured by me."

Sakura was curious why Madara suddenly said that. After asking, she lowered her head and accepted the criticism from the Nidaime somewhat embarrassedly. Although Madara felt that she did not make the wrong choice, it was entirely because Madara was powerful, not because the reason for this choice was correct. She would remember this for next time.

After writing down the birthdays of several people, Ying took a closer look and commented excitedly.

"It turns out that Madara is a Capricorn, the first generation is a Libra, the second generation is a Pisces, and Izuna-san and the fourth generation are both Aquarius.

I am an Aries. Aries is more compatible with air and fire signs, so I have good compatibility with Libra and Aquarius. I remember that I can't get along with Capricorn. We quarrel easily. Aries is easily suppressed by the shrewd Capricorn. Well, no wonder you and I always quarrel. As for Pisces, I remember that we are incompatible? Two completely parallel lines? Although our personalities may complement each other? "

Ying nodded her cheek uncertainly as she thought about it. Then, as if she remembered something, she suddenly covered her mouth shyly and smiled secretly.

"But as a lover, Aries' best match is Leo, and Sasuke is a Leo, hehe~"

Facing Sakura who was excited and talked about a set of astrological superstitions in detail, Hashirama, Izuna and Minato, who were very compatible with her, sat back and watched Sakura's little appearance as cute as she could, except that Leo's last remarks needed to be considered.

Madara and Tobirama, who were not compatible, felt a little unhappy. Madara snorted. "Stop reading nonsense. You believe this? It's all fake!"

Kakashi looked at Sakura and said expectantly, "Teacher, I'm a Virgo, and my birthday is September 15th, Sakura, please remember it~"

"Eh? Kakashi sensei doesn't need to improve his compatibility with me, so why is he joining in the fun~" Sakura glanced at Kakashi with a troubled look on her face, but she still opened a new page and neatly wrote down the name Hatake Kakashi.

But when drawing the decoration, Yingshou paused for a moment before drawing a Q-version man reading a book. The upturned straw head was very iconic and looked very lifelike.

Kakashi smiled. "Sakura is really good at drawing. She drew the teacher so cute."

"Well, of course, but the teacher himself is not that cute." Sakura accepted the compliment without any modesty and then complained, then frowned.

"But Virgo, as far as I can remember, is very picky and fussy, and they don't get along very well with Aries. When they are together, it's like the weather, and their relationship can go from hot to cold."

Kakashi's eyes suddenly turned dead, and he said the same thing as Madara. "Sakura, don't be brainwashed by these things. They are totally inaccurate. How am I picky?"

Sakura wrinkled her nose. "But a lot of people believe it, and everyone likes to study it. Ino knows more about it than I do."

Ying patted the notebook. "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's move on to the next two questions. Let's talk about height and weight together."

After asking around, Madara reported the height and weight of all of them.

"Where's sensei?" Sakura turned to ask Kakashi again. Since she had taken notes, of course the data had to be completed.

Kakashi also reported his height and weight.

After Ying finished writing, she couldn't help but sigh. "Everyone is so tall, almost all of them are 180cm or taller. Can I grow to 160cm or taller in the future? I'm only 150cm tall now, and my neck is sore from looking up at people all the time." She looked frustrated.

As the only one who was far from the 180cm standard, Izunai was unhappy. He couldn't help but say something to save face. "If I hadn't died so early, I would definitely have grown taller."

Tobirama immediately mocked. "You've already stopped growing at 24. Give up, you can only grow that tall."

Izuna glared at Tobirama.

Kakashi consoled her. "Sakura will grow taller, don't worry. Even if she doesn't grow taller, it doesn't matter. She's still cute even if she's petite."

As soon as these words were spoken, several men nodded in agreement. Sakura was now small and super cute, like a nimble and cunning kitten.

Men actually prefer girls who are petite and petite, so Sakura's height is not a problem for them.

But Ying clenched her fists and said angrily, "No, I want to grow up to be a slim beauty with long legs!"

"Long legs?" Madara looked Sakura up and down and said mockingly. "Then work hard. You're still a long way from achieving that."

Sakura glared at Madara who had no nice words to say.

Kakashi imagined it and touched his chin. "Long legs seem good too? I like them, but they are not good-looking if they are too thin. Sakura is still a little thin now. It's better for girls to be plump."

Sakura immediately blushed and got angry, and punched Kakashi in the face. "Sensei, you big pervert! This isn't for you!"

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you." Kakashi quickly parried Sakura's fancy punches and kicks, while Sakura continued to hit him with Meow Meow Fists, unconvinced.

"Besides, you said I was skinny, Kakashi sensei, how much better are you? Look, you are 181cm tall, but weigh only 67.5kg? Madara is 179cm tall, but weighs 71.3kg."

Kakashi knew he was on the thin side, but he was used to it, so he just defended himself. "Men and women are different. Girls really can't be too thin."

Sakura paused, looked at the data of several people, and looked up at Madara in surprise. "Hey, wait, Madara, why are you so fat? The Nidaime is 3 centimeters taller than you, but weighs 2 kilograms less than you. The Yondaime is the same height as you, but weighs 5 kilograms less than you."

Seeing Sakura's horrified look of "You're so fat", veins popped up on Ban's forehead and he almost laughed out of anger. He reached out and tried to pinch her ugly little mouth, but unfortunately his hand went through it.

"You little bitch! Do you know how to talk? Can't you tell the difference between fat and strong? Men need broad, thick muscles. I have a high muscle ratio, so of course I'm heavy. Tobirama is on the thin side, and Minato is too thin!"

Minato touched his head and smiled awkwardly. Tobirama snorted. He felt that his weight was just right.

Sakura frowned, looking confused and incomprehensible. "Too strong is weird, I still prefer someone like Sasuke."

She is still young and cannot appreciate the strength of men. She prefers slim and beautiful boys.

"The little girl who knows nothing just has no vision." Madara snorted and did not continue to argue with the inexperienced Sakura. She would know it later.

Izuna felt comforted, thinking that Sakura would be satisfied with him, as he had muscles but a slim and well-proportioned body.

Hashirama touched himself again. He was the tallest and the heaviest. What should he do if Sakura-chan didn't like him? Should he lose weight? Can a dead person still lose weight?

The next few questions ended uneventfully. Sakura wrote down everyone's blood type, favorite food, and disliked food before asking the next question.

"What about hobbies? What do you guys like to do?"

"Falconry hunting." Ban said casually. When he was young, he loved skipping stones, but when he grew up, he liked to train eagles for hunting.

"Wow, that's so cool! This is an elegant aristocratic activity." Sakura's eyes suddenly lit up, and for the first time she gave Madara a look of admiration and envy, and she said excitedly.

"If you can reveal your form in the future, can you take me hunting? I really want to see how to tame eagles and drive them to hunt."

Madara was in a good mood, and a smug, proud smile appeared on his lips. "I think you have good taste this time. Okay, if there is a chance, I will take you with me next time."

Sakura nodded happily, and then after hearing that Hashirama's interest was bonsai planting and care, and Tobirama's interest was fishing, Sakura closed her mouth tightly and did not express any opinion. Although she felt in her heart that this was just the old man's hobby, they were not young when they died, so this was normal.

But Izuna and Sakura probably understood each other and complained directly. "Tsk, it's totally an old people's hobby."

Hashirama's hobbies are actually gambling, drinking, and women, but this hobby is not suitable for Sakura to know, so he chose such a seemingly serious hobby, so it doesn't matter if people say it.

But Tobirama was unhappy. How could fishing be a hobby for the elderly? He often went fishing when he was young. He relied on this to satisfy his hunger. He snorted. "Fishing can be used for leisure and as a supplement to food sources. What's wrong with that? Then what hobbies do you have that are very young?"

"Practice! Practicing with Brother Madara is my hobby." Izuna looked proud and satisfied.

The corners of Tobirama's mouth twitched. This brother-obsessed guy! This hobby is even more boring than his own.

After listening to Madara's retelling, Sakura was in awe. What a great hobby this top student has. Sakura admired him. "Izuna-san is amazing. Like Sasuke-kun, he also likes to practice."

Izunai accepted this similarity and comparison with a good mentality, as long as it can give him an advantage over others. Although he is inferior to Wanwan now, he will turn things upside down in the future.

Minato's hobby is reading, although it cannot be said that this reading refers to reading Jiraiya's novels. Kakashi has the same interest as him, but Kakashi is not as lucky as Minato. He was despised and ruthlessly exposed by his own female students. She complained fatally.

"Kakashi sensei, you obviously like to read pornographic novels, don't insult such a noble hobby as reading."

Kakashi rubbed his neck and laughed.

Sakura then asked a few more questions, all about trivial matters in life, and Kakashi couldn't help but complain in the end. "It feels like this is just pure gossip."

Madara and the others actually felt the same way, and they felt uncomfortable revealing every aspect of their lives in front of so many people. Finally, before they could no longer bear the embarrassment, Sakura finally finished asking questions today. She patted her notebook and nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, that's all for today. We'll continue tomorrow."

Will we continue tomorrow? Everyone felt like they had survived a disaster, but also had a headache.

Kakashi frowned when he saw Sakura was about to put the notebook directly into her backpack. "Sakura, it's best not to let anyone get their hands on this information easily. After all, it involves the Hokage."

"Ah, what should I do then?" Ying paused, looked at the notebook, and was immediately distressed.

Kakashi suggested. "Let me teach you the Sealing Technique. It's a type of sealing technique. Although what I know is just common stuff, it can at least encrypt and protect the notebook."

He paused, his eyes swept across the void, and said with a hint of nostalgia, "In fact, Minato-sensei is the master of seals. It would be great if he could teach you in person."

Minato smiled at Kakashi, then turned to Madara and said, "Madara-san, can you help convey this to Sakura and Kakashi? I am willing to teach Sakura my unique sealing technique."

"I can do sealing techniques, too." Madara also knows sealing techniques. Although he is not particularly proficient, he is definitely better than most people. However, Madara did not deprive Sakura of the opportunity to learn, and conveyed Minato's words. "Sakura, Minato said he would teach you, so I can teach you."

"Oh, really? That's great! Thank you, Madara, thank you, Fourth-daime-sama, I will study hard!" Sakura's eyes were shining and she thanked excitedly. She was so happy to have such a great teacher giving her special lessons.

Sakura finally learned four sealing techniques. In addition to Kakashi, Madara and Minato, Tobirama, who was also a master of sealing, also joined the teaching team. With Madara's second-hand teaching, Sakura finally stacked four sealing techniques directly on her notebook in a fancy way, and the safety was completely maximized.

Madara, Tobirama and Minato were also very satisfied with the teaching results. They liked Sakura even more. No one doesn't like smart students. Sakura is very smart and can understand things quickly. Her understanding and intelligence are much better than any other students they have taught.

Tobirama looked very satisfied. No wonder Sakura could become his soul mate. Her IQ was indeed on par with his.

Minato teased jokingly. "Better than Kakashi was back then."

Kakashi is smart, but Sakura understands complex academic theories faster and more deeply, and she is very talented in sealing techniques.

Madara was enjoying the fun and was happy to relay Minato's words. Sakura, feeling proud and wanting to show off, also simply passed on the words three times, earning a wry smile from Kakashi and a powerful touch on her head, and spoke in a doting tone.

"Yes, yes, Sakura is the smartest person in the village."

Madara also felt in his heart that Sakura was much stronger than Obito was back then. When he was teaching Obito, Madara was so angry that he almost died early several times. It was such a chaotic situation that he wished he could beat Sakura eight times a day to wake up Obito's stupid brain.

Hashirama was clapping his hands on the side, and Izuna felt proud of it.

Chapter 17 : chapter 17

Chapter Text

The week in Wave Country passed without any trouble. Cardo's people did not come to harass Dazna, and Zabuza and Haku did not show up either. It seemed like the calm before the storm.

Sakura's practice of improving her compatibility has made a small progress in this week. During the question and answer sessions for several consecutive nights, the vague mumblings coming from Sakura's ears have become louder and louder, and she can distinguish the voices of four different men. Although the content is still unclear, occasionally, Sakura can even see some hazy lights and shadows that seem real and illusory.

This made Sakura even more confident, and she would circulate her chakra every day whenever she had time to try to connect with the chakras of her five soul mates and spirits behind her.

The five spirits behind Sakura didn't feel anything at first about Sakura's efforts. It was not until the seventh day, when Sakura tried to connect again, that everyone suddenly felt it, and then, their faces turned strange.

Hashirama and Izuna only felt that there was suddenly a sense of external presence in their chakra perception, furry, warm, light and active, but also giving people a strange feeling of being sneaky and stealthy, trying to get close to them at the boundary of their chakra range.

Hashirama was immediately touched by this feeling. His eyes sparkled and he covered his nose with a look of wonder and delight. "Wow! What is this? I can feel it. Is it Sakura-chan's chakra? Oh my god, this feeling is too cute!"

Izuna blushed slightly. It felt as if a kitten was curiously circling around her feet. Although she hadn't touched it directly, she could already feel the slight tingling sensation of the cat's fluffy fur touching her skin.

The Uchiha family uses cats and birds as summoning beasts, and Izuna is an out-and-out cat person, so Sakura's chakra link really gives him a strange feeling as if a kitten is trying to flirt with him at his feet.

Tobirama and Minato are of the perception type, and their chakra perception ability is better, so they are more sensitive to the chakra of the outsiders trying to seduce them.

The two of them felt that Sakura's chakra was initially hovering around them and observing them, but after seeming to realize that they had no resistance at all, it soon became bolder and came up to them directly, rubbing against them like a kitten and begging for a hug.

This feeling made Minato and Tobirama's hearts unconsciously soften, and they only had the urge to kiss, hug and lift Sakura up high. If they didn't know how to reverse the link, they would have wanted to open the link themselves.

The feeling of the connection between Hashirama and the other three was quite normal, but for Madara who had had sex with Sakura, it was completely different. He gritted his teeth and wanted to spank Sakura again. What the hell was this called a chakra connection? It was just a seduction!

Ban just felt as if a delicate and soft little hand curiously poked his lower back gently. He immediately felt his waist go numb, his body trembled, and even his tailbone softened.

Then, as if that was not enough, the little hand began to light fires everywhere, curiously poking and prodding him all over. Although this was not an actual physical sensation, Madara could only describe it as this feeling.

Madara's mouth became dry and his body became hot after being poked. The blood began to rush to his lower body. Just before he felt himself about to become hard, Madara finally could not help but roar in anger.

"Haruno Sakura! What on earth do you do all day long? Can you be more generous, civilized, and serious with your chakra connection? Can you stop being sneaky and furtive?"

Sakura was startled and the chakra connection was directly broken. She looked at Madara in confusion, not knowing what he was angry about.

Hashirama regretfully discovered that the cute and adorable feeling had disappeared, and he glanced at Madara with a bit of annoyance.

"Madara, you're such a fool. Look at you scaring Sakura-chan. You said sneaky and furtive things in such a harsh way. You seem so cute."

Tobirama immediately caught some suspicious words in Madara's words, and he looked at Madara with suspicion. "Madara, what are you making a fuss about? Don't you feel the same as us? Generous, civilized, and serious. I can understand being generous, after all, the link with Sakura is indeed a bit too much, but what do civilized and serious mean?"

Quan Nai was also curious. Indeed, he used the words civilized and serious. Could it be that for Brother Ban, this link was uncivilized and indecent? How was it uncivilized and indecent?

Minato also looked at him inquiringly. Could it be related to the fact that Madara had possessed Sakura before? So their feelings were different from Madara's? But Uchiha Madara could have interrupted him with a roar. Could this be the meaning of improper? No way, Minato was secretly shocked. He looked down at Sakura, but saw that she was also confused. Minato immediately comforted himself, maybe he was overthinking.

"Nothing!" Madara felt that he was being pushed into a corner again. How could he say it? He could only mumble it again. He lowered his head and looked at Sakura again. "Anyway, don't try this link unless you are sure of it next time. Do you hear me?"

Sakura pouted unhappily and retorted. "Madara, you are being unreasonable and forceful! How do you know if it will work if you don't try? Who said they wanted to manifest as soon as possible? Aren't you contradicting yourself?"

Madara felt unusually tight in his chest. Yes, he needed to reveal himself, but did it have to be accompanied by this feeling of taboo? Was he really the only one who was special? Or would Hashirama and the others also feel this way in the future? Madara was worried secretly, but he couldn't reveal it to others. He could only take it one step at a time.

After a week of recuperation, Kakashi finally had the strength to get up and move around and train.

While he began to give special training to Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke, he also did rehabilitation exercises for himself, trying to get back to his best physical condition as soon as possible.

In the first special training session, Kakashi, leaning on a cane, demonstrated and instructed the basic practice of using chakra to attach to the soles of the feet to climb a tree without attachment.

When Minato heard that Naruto didn't even know the basic definition of chakra and needed Sakura to explain it, he really covered his face and didn't dare to look at anyone. It was too embarrassing.

Izuna looked at Sasuke's expression of disapproval, thinking that it was enough to remember it with the body, and that theory was not important, and was speechless. "Well, it's really hard to put it into words."

Kakashi hung upside down on the tree, explaining the key points in detail to Naruto and Sakura who were surprised below, as well as Sasuke who pretended to be indifferent but was actually observing secretly.

Tobirama frowned. "I've always found it strange that Sakura and the others don't know how to use chakra in the most basic way, such as climbing a tree. She doesn't even know that everyone's chakra has specific elemental properties. Has the textbook been changed? Has the graduation standard changed?"

Tobirama was the one who wrote the textbooks for the Ninja Academy, and he was sure that he had included these as basic knowledge in the curriculum. If it were in his time, Tobirama would not even have been able to let Sakura and Naruto pass the academy exam to become Genin. In Tobirama's opinion, they seriously lacked the basic skills and basic knowledge that a Genin should have. To put it bluntly, his younger brothers Kawarama and Itama, who died early, might have been better at fighting than Sakura and the others.

Tobirama's heart sank to the bottom. From a limited glimpse, he had begun to understand the darkness of Konoha that Kakashi had talked about.

Minato was also full of doubts. "It wasn't like this before I died. When Rin, Obito, and Kakashi graduated, they had already mastered the art of climbing trees with chakra. At Kakashi's age, he had even developed the Raikiri jutsu. If he didn't know the attributes of his elemental jutsu, he wouldn't have been able to create this jutsu."

Who changed the training standards of the Ninja Academy? It was impossible without the Hokage's approval, but why did he change it? Was the Sandaime really old and senile? Minato was also feeling heavy-hearted.

"Don't be impatient. Once we can reveal our forms, we'll ask the monkey." Hashirama patted Tobirama, who was obviously impatient and unhappy, and comforted him.

Izuna had mentioned before that the quality of ninjas has been declining, and I originally thought it was Tobirama's fault, but now it seems there is another hidden story.

Madara didn't care. A decline in the quality of a ninja would undoubtedly be like cutting off one's own arm, and it would only make his future plans go more smoothly.

After Kakashi finished explaining, it was Sakura and the other two's turn to try. Sasuke had used too much chakra on his feet, and he failed after running a few steps because he crushed the tree trunk. Naruto had too much chakra, and it was even harder for him to control. He fell headfirst after taking only two steps, rubbing the top of his head and screaming in pain.

What about Ying? They looked at Ying, and she also began to try, carefully and tentatively sticking her feet to the tree trunk, taking the first step, and then the second step, steadily, not too fast or too slow, and steadily going up step by step. There was no sign of difficulty on her face, and finally she successfully reached the highest point.

After sitting on the treetop, Sakura looked down excitedly and smiled proudly. "What? It's not difficult at all~"

Izuna was delighted. "As expected of my soul mate, you are amazing. You are even better than Madara and I were back then."

Madara rolled his eyes, there was no need to make such a comparison, he looked up at Sakura, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, his soul mate should be so talented.

Hashirama widened his eyes in surprise and clapped his hands excitedly again. "Wow, Sakura-chan is amazing! She succeeded in climbing a tree the first time she practiced. It took me more than ten times to do it~" Even though he was only six or seven years old at that time.

Although Tobirama was also the type who could succeed in climbing a tree on his first try, Sakura's teaching him would only make him more satisfied, Tobirama praised.

"Sure enough, Sakura has a good brain. She can accurately calculate the distribution and use of chakra. Although the total amount of chakra is not much, there is no waste at all. She is really gifted."

Minato added with a smile. "Sakura's chakra control should be very high. We can test it later."

Lin's chakra control is also very good, so she can go in the direction of medical ninjutsu. Can Sakura also go in this direction in the future?

Sasuke and Naruto were both shocked. Sasuke looked unconvinced, while Naruto shouted happily. "Sakura-chan is amazing! She is worthy of being the girl I like." But after being happy, he felt a little unhappy that he was outdone by a girl.

Kakashi's eyes curved, and he was proud of his soul mate in his heart, and he did not hesitate to praise her. "Sakura, well done! You are a genius! Your chakra control is simply perfect. If you can maintain the same result ten times, Sakura can start the next special training first."

"Really?" Sakura's eyes sparkled, she was happy for being praised by the teacher. Now, Kakashi was going to give her some special treatment? This favoritism made Sakura even happier, and her smile became sweeter. She would work hard and not let the teacher down.

Sakura jumped off the tree and started tree climbing training again. When Sasuke and Naruto saw that Sakura successfully climbed to the top the second and third time, proving that her first time was not just a fluke, they suddenly became anxious. Sakura can start the next special training first, but they have to be trapped in this training?

Sasuke sighed and started the tree climbing training again. He would pass this training as soon as possible and move on to the next one. How could he lose to Sakura!

"This is not fair! I also want the next round of special training." Naruto shouted.

Kakashi said nonchalantly. "Don't aim too high, Naruto. You can't even do this tree climbing training, and you still want to start the next training? As for fairness, forcing the excellent students to slow down and cooperate with the lagging students is unfair. Instead of complaining, you might as well catch up quickly. Others won't stay where they are and wait for you."

Naruto and Sasuke were stimulated and could only work harder.

Sakura easily passed the ten tree climbing trainings, and after Kakashi asked Naruto and Sasuke to finish their training and return to Dazna's house, he took Sakura to other places to start the next step of training.

"What's the next step in training?" Sakura asked with a confused look on her face as she followed Kakashi to the bridge construction site by the sea.

Kakashi smiled and pointed to the sea under the bridge. "It's still about chakra control training, but this time it's not about stepping on trees, but walking on the water."

The surface of the water is different from the flat and solid trees, but is fluid, which makes it more difficult to control the chakra. This is not a calm lake or pond, but the choppy sea surface, which makes it even more difficult. But Kakashi believes Sakura can do it.

"Hold on to me, Sakura." Kakashi put down one of his crutches and put his arm around Sakura's waist.

Sakura immediately blushed and exclaimed, not knowing what Kakashi was going to do.

Kakashi jumped off the bridge with Sakura. Caught off guard, Sakura could only hug Kakashi's waist tightly and pressed her whole body against him.

Kakashi stepped steadily on the sea, but for Sakura, there was no sense of reality under her feet. She couldn't stand on the sea at all. She could only hold on to Kakashi tighter and wrapped her legs around Kakashi's legs to keep herself from falling into the sea. Sakura felt like she was clinging to Kakashi like a koala. This was not ladylike at all!

Sakura's face was flushed with shock and embarrassment, and she said angrily, "Kakashi sensei, what are you doing all of a sudden?"

Kakashi smiled, and the little girl's petite body was completely pressed on him, sweet and soft. Although this was an opportunity he created deliberately, it could also be considered that Sakura took the initiative to throw herself into his arms.

Kakashi stroked Sakura's shiny and soft pink hair and coaxed her. "Training, Sakura, you have to hold on tight, otherwise it will be bad if you fall into the sea."

Kakashi's seemingly serious but secretly happy look was completely seen by the five spirit men behind him. They were all men, so how could they not know what Kakashi was up to?

Izuna was so angry that she was fuming. "Kakashi, you bastard! He still did this even though he knew we were here. He really doesn't take us seriously at all. Just wait!"

Tobirama was also furious. "Kakashi is such a selfless guy with no teacher ethics. He is so selfish. Doesn't he know what he wants to do when he looks at people?"

Minato was speechless. Wasn't Kakashi too scheming? Taking advantage of training to get some benefits? Was this the Kakashi who had finally gotten into love? His attitude was completely different from Lin's at that time. It was really a bit of a dog. As for the slight discomfort, Minato suppressed it in his heart.

The corners of Hashirama's mouth drooped slightly, and he felt very unhappy. "Is Kakashi deliberately not avoiding suspicion? This is really a bit too much."

Madara was also extremely unhappy and said to Sakura unhappily, "Sakura, get down! Kakashi is taking advantage of you!"

"Madara, won't I fall into the sea if I come down?" Sakura was embarrassed. She knew it was not good for her to do so, but there was nothing she could do. She glared at Kakashi and said, "Sensei, if you want to teach me, do it quickly! Otherwise, I will sue you for sexual harassment."

Hearing Madara's name, Kakashi finally calmed down. He coughed pretentiously, and taught the angry Sakura some key points of standing on the water seriously, then said with a smile.

"Teacher will hold you, Ying can stand on the teacher's instep. When you feel you can stand on the water independently, let go."

Sakura then let go of the legs that were wrapped around Kakashi and stepped on the instep of Kakashi's feet. Then, while controlling the chakra to flow downwards, she tentatively stretched out one foot and stepped on the sea.

After all, Sakura is a genius in chakra control. After just a few tries, she was able to stand independently on the sea. She finally didn't have to rely on Kakashi to stand. The five smart men behind her breathed a sigh of relief. They had had enough of seeing Sakura and Kakashi sticking so close together, and their fists became harder and harder the more they watched.

Standing is just the beginning. Being able to walk and run smoothly and freely on the sea means that one has truly mastered this skill. Sakura tried to walk again. Kakashi followed closely beside her, looking at the pink-haired girl walking around excitedly on the sea with a gentle smile on his face.

After she was able to walk, Sakura started to run. Kakashi was still following her closely like a hen protecting her chicks, but Sakura felt that her abilities were not trusted and she had no freedom at all under the teacher's watchful eyes, so she couldn't help but protest.

"Kakashi sensei, don't stay so close to me all the time. Don't you believe in my ability? Just ignore me and go protect Dazna-san. I can train on my own."

Kakashi was disdained and immediately looked dead. This little girl was just destroying the bridge after crossing the river. He could only helplessly distance himself a little. "Okay, then Sakura, take care of yourself. Call me if you need anything."

Seeing Kakashi walking away, Sakura let him fly away immediately. In front of her, the sea and the sky were one color, with endless blue waves. It was a beautiful sight. Sakura enjoyed the sea breeze comfortably, with her arms open, running and jumping happily on the sea, occasionally kicking up a little splash of water, and having a lot of fun.

The five souls behind them were also in a good mood as they looked at their lively and lovely soul mates. They unconsciously smiled faintly, although Ban still muttered stubbornly, "She's just a crazy girl."

But being too complacent will inevitably lead to retribution. In the distance, a large ship happened to pass by slowly, and the broken green waves pushed all the way out. The waves rolled up and when they reached Sakura, they turned into a wave more than three meters high. The sea surface suddenly shook violently and fluctuated. Before Sakura could adjust the amount of chakra under her feet, she was overjoyed and heard a scream. Sakura missed a step and fell directly into the sea.

The five spirits behind them subconsciously wanted to reach out and pull people, but it was of course in vain. Sakura saw the hand that Madara stretched out and subconsciously tried to grab it, but she was still powerless and was pierced through.

Banhei looked at Sakura falling into the sea with a gloomy face and reluctantly withdrew his hand. It was a taboo, but he still needed to reveal himself as soon as possible. Sakura was his soul mate anyway, and she was old enough to get married during the Warring States Period. There was no need for him to be so entangled.

Ying stuck her head out of the sea and spat out a few mouthfuls of the bitter and salty sea water. Then she saw a pair of slender, white hands wearing fingerless gloves reaching out to her again.

Sakura looked up, and Kakashi squatted down, smiling with crescent eyes, and teased, "Sakura, look at you, you didn't even let the teacher follow you, you'll fall into the sea right away."

"That was an accident!" Sakura snorted, took Kakashi's hand, used the force to pull herself out of the sea, and said stubbornly, "I've lost the battle but not the position."

The cherry-haired girl was soaked all over, her thin clothes clinging to her body, revealing her frail and immature curves. Kakashi glanced her up and down calmly, then smiled considerately.

"Ying, it's not good to catch a cold. Teacher will take you back first."

Without waiting for Sakura to say anything, he picked up Sakura and started jumping and running towards Dazna's house. As for Sakura's objections and protests, Kakashi ignored them.

When Sakura finished her shower and came out, she saw Kakashi doing one-finger push-ups. His face was exposed again, and he was only wearing a black sleeveless tight shirt, revealing his lean and solid muscles. Because he was exerting force, his muscles were stretched into beautiful lines, and coupled with his extremely handsome face, the sexual tension was fully raised.

Sakura was so mesmerized that she couldn't even walk. She was secretly infatuated with Kakashi with a furtive look that she thought no one else would notice, but in fact everyone could see it clearly.

"Wipe it, your saliva is flowing out." It was not until a cold reminder interrupted Sakura's greedy gaze.

Sakura subconsciously wiped the corners of her mouth, which were dry, and then she realized that she had been fooled. Suddenly, she looked up at Madara in anger. "Madara, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Hehe, you know whether it's nonsense or not." Ban said sarcastically.

Kakashi didn't want Sakura to be distracted by Uchiha Madara, so he immediately waved her hand. "Sakura, come and help me."

Sakura ignored Madara and walked over, asking curiously, "Kakashi sensei, what do you want me to do for you?"

Kakashi smiled. "I need to do weighted push-ups, can Sakura sit on my back?"

"Teacher, I'm not heavy!" Ying didn't want to be thought of as fat, so she immediately defended herself.

"Hey, of course I know Sakura is very light, but it's just that I can't find dumbbells at the moment." Kakashi hurriedly comforted the sensitive female student.

Sakura was still hesitating, but Madara said directly, "You are not allowed to sit on it! If you want someone to sit on it, go get the old man!"

Madara was really shocked by the shameless Kakashi. What a shameless move!

Izuna and Tobirama also wanted to draw their swords and chop Kakashi. Hashirama looked at Minato with an indescribable expression. "How do you teach your students? Do you just want to take advantage of them all day long?"

Minato smiled helplessly and tried to defend himself feebly. "Kakashi wasn't like this before."

Sakura still had some girlish reserve, and finally agreed with Madara's words. "Kakashi sensei, I'd better ask Dazna-san to come. He's heavier than me, so he should be more suitable."

Kakashi secretly felt regretful and looked at the air around Sakura, knowing that it must be Madara or someone else who ruined his plans, but of course he couldn't force it now, otherwise it would seem that he had bad intentions.

When Dazna came, he sat on Kakashi's back without any hesitation. Kakashi had already put on his mask and jonin jacket, and with a look of despair on his face, he carried Dazna on his back and did dozens of one-finger push-ups, which made Dazna cheer and praise continuously. He was still trying to increase the amount of Kakashi's endurance. Kakashi got the chance and let Sakura sit on his legs again as a weight. Under Dazna's curious instigation and her own curiosity, Sakura did not listen to Madara's words asking her to refuse and sat on Kakashi's calf anyway.

Kakashi could feel Sakura's chubby little butt pressing against his legs, which immediately gave him a boost of energy, and he did push-ups even more vigorously.

Hashirama had a gloomy face. "Sakura-chan is too unguarded against Kakashi."

Madara, Izuna, and Tobirama were all very angry, and they completely agreed with what Hashirama said. She had no sense of vigilance and would definitely suffer a great loss in the future.

Minato once again felt that he was under pressure that he shouldn't have been under, and said weakly, "I believe Kakashi knows the limits."

I first started to support Sakura Kakashi because of this scene in the comics. What kind of teacher lets his female student sit on his lap and do push-ups? Especially Kakashi, he really doesn't seem to be a person who likes physical contact. He keeps a physical distance from other people, but he is always very close to Sakura, hugging her, touching her hair, and putting his arm around her shoulders. 😎

Chapter 18 : chapter 18

Summary:

Warnings: underage sex, psychosexual mentions.

Chapter Text

Time passed quickly during special training and protecting Dazna. A week later, the Wave Country Bridge was about to be completed, but Kakashi became more and more alert. Cardo would definitely not wait until the bridge was completed before taking action. As expected, the people hired by Cardo would attack again in the next few days.

Because of Uchiha Madara's powerful possession of Sakura, Kakashi already knew that Zabuza and Haku were seriously injured. If Cardo hadn't hired other ninjas, then there would be no need to worry about the injured Zabuza and Haku. The only thing to be afraid of is that Cardo would hire other ninjas, which would cause great variables. Kakashi now just hopes that he is overthinking it.

But the next day, when Team 7 escorted Dazna to the bridge construction site, and saw the injured workers lying on the ground groaning, and Cardo standing proudly at one end of the bridge, with the huge army of gangsters behind him, Kakashi knew that the worst guess had been verified.

There were at least a hundred people behind Cardo, ordinary thugs would be fine, but in addition to Zabuza and Haku who were wrapped in bandages and supporting each other, Kakashi also saw three ANBU from the Kirigakure who were chasing them.

They were wearing ANBU masks, so their expressions couldn't be seen, but standing behind Cardo, it was clear what they stood for.

The ANBU that were hunting them down were all elite jonin. Even if they might not be as strong as Zabuza, they would not be far behind. Kakashi's heart sank to the bottom, but he looked lazy as he opened his mouth to test the water.

"Oh, isn't this the Kirigakure Anbu? The traitor Zabuza is right in front of you. Why are you staying here instead of hunting him down?"

A leading ANBU said sarcastically, "The name of the copy ninja Hatake Kakashi is well known to us in the Kirigakure ANBU. We have always wanted to learn from him, but we have never had the chance. Isn't it a coincidence today? Although Zabuza is a traitor, he is also a member of Kirigakure. His last wish was to fight with you Kakashi and Konoha. Shouldn't we help him do it? It's also a good opportunity to see whether your Konoha is stronger or Kirigakure is stronger!"

As soon as Kakashi heard this, he knew that there would be no way to resolve the matter peacefully today. Because of the Third Ninja World War, Konoha and Kirigakure have always had a very bad relationship. Usually, when the ninjas of the two villages met while on missions, if there was no conflict of interest, they might just dislike each other and have a few verbal quarrels. But if there was a conflict of missions, they would definitely be ready to kill each other. No wonder the Kirigakure Anbu even gave up their original mission and agreed to follow Zabuza to deal with Konoha.

Bai held Zabuza's hand tightly and looked at him worriedly. They were caught up by the Mist Village Anbu three days ago, and the two seriously injured were no match for these three Anbu. But Zabuza was unwilling to surrender, and even said bluntly that even if he was going to die, he would have to settle with Kakashi and the Konoha Ninjas before dying. In addition, Cardo happened to come to them to demand an explanation, and after knowing the whole story, he directly spent a lot of money to hire these three Mist Village Anbu to assassinate Dazna and deal with the Konoha Ninjas. That's why they are here together today.

Zabuza barely managed to break free from Bai's hand. He looked at Sakura first and hissed, "That pink-haired stinky girl, call out the person who hurt me! I want to fight him again!"

Zabuza's tone was sinister, his whole body was filled with murderous aura, and his chakra was even more sinister and surging, all of his malice was directed at Sakura. Sakura, who was facing the pressure of chakra for the first time, was so frightened that her pretty face turned pale, and she even had difficulty breathing. Her throat was clenched, but she couldn't utter a word.

When Madara saw Sakura was scared, his brows furrowed and he sneered unhappily, "How dare you threaten a little girl? How dare you, a scum, challenge me? I will kill him this time!"

He lowered his head and urged, "Ying, find a way to let me possess you, and I will take care of him!"

Madara was no longer conflicted and was very willing to fight.

Ying really wanted to turn around and say something, but she was so scared that she couldn't move at all. The pressure was too great.

Fortunately, Kakashi immediately stood in front of Sakura and removed Zabuza's pressure and murderous aura from her. He held the kunai horizontally in front of him, his eyes sharp, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Zabuza, your opponent is me! Don't make the mistake of picking the wrong person."

Zabuza sneered. "Humph, if you weren't lucky last time and were saved by that stinky girl, I would have killed you long ago! Hatake Kakashi, it's the same this time. After killing you, I will deal with that stinky girl!"

Zabuza swung his beheading sword and rushed out directly, engaging in close combat with Kakashi.

Bai looked at Sakura cautiously, the lesson from last time was still fresh in his mind. He chose Naruto and Sasuke as his opponents. After forming a seal with one hand, he activated the ice escape technique. Five huge ice walls suddenly appeared in front, behind, up, down, left and right of Sasuke and Naruto. Bai jumped in and sank into the ice wall.

Sakura was left alone, but her pressure did not ease. The three Mist Village Anbu looked at Sakura in surprise.

"Is this the person who injured Zabuza? Isn't she just a little Genin girl? I can crush her to death with one hand." An Anbu said contemptuously.

"I heard there's some secret technique that allows her to fight against opponents of higher levels? But why did Zabuza say there was another person in her body, and that person defeated him?" an ANBU asked in a puzzled tone.

"Oh, is that true? You'll know if you try it. I love making little girls cry the most. Pink-haired ones are rare~" the leading Anbu said in a strange voice.

The two ANBU immediately burst into laughter, and their laughter was filled with the tacit understanding and lewd intentions between adult men.

"These bastards! How dare they set their sights on Sakura." Izuna's face was immediately filled with anger, his eyes turned red, and the lines in his Sharingan eyes moved rapidly.

"A bunch of scum!" Tobirama's face turned pale, his eyebrows were sharp, and he was full of anger.

The Anbu are responsible for torture. As the founder of the Anbu, Tobirama is well versed in various interrogation methods. In addition to ordinary torture, sexual assault and abuse are more effective means to deal with enemy female ninjas. Normally, he does not ask about it and only cares about the results. But now it is his soul mate's turn to face this crisis, and Tobirama finds that he can't bear it at all.

There was a cold light in Minato's eyes, and his murderous intent was revealed. After all, he had really fought against Kirigakure during the Third World War, and he knew very well how many cruel methods Kirigakure used against the captured Konoha ninjas during the Third World War. Sometimes, dying on the spot was a blessing.

Madara and Hashirama also had extremely gloomy expressions. As clan chiefs and village leaders, they needed to maintain their moral integrity, so the second-in-commands Tobirama and Izuna usually handled the dirty work. The two of them had always defeated the enemy fairly on the battlefield and disdained such methods and were disgusted by them.

Hashirama's face was grim as he issued his verdict. "These three men must die."

Madara was filled with rage and became even more anxious. "Sakura, what are you still hesitating about! Hurry up and let me possess you, you can't beat them!"

Sakura naturally felt the ill intentions of these three men towards her, and she couldn't help but take a step back in fear. When she heard what Madara said, she was anxious and helpless, and wanted to cry but couldn't. "Do you think I don't want to? But I can't do it."

She couldn't replicate the mysterious operation of grabbing Madara's possession, and Sakura was anxious and frantic, cueing Ri-Sakura, Ri-Sakura, come to the rescue! Tell me what to do.

Li Ying was also very anxious, holding her head and shouting frantically, "Do you think I don't want to? We haven't reached the final life-and-death crisis yet, and the compatibility between us and Madara and the others is still a little short!"

Sakura could only try her best to circulate her own chakra, trying desperately to hook up with Madara and the others' chakra, hoping that she would suddenly understand the trick of how to let them possess her. At the same time, she raised the kunai and concentrated on guarding against the three Mist Anbu.

Kakashi also heard the conversation between the three Mist Village Anbu and his face changed drastically. He turned around and tried to defend, but was entangled by Zabuza. Even though Kakashi was injured and tried to shake off Zabuza, Zabuza probably knew that he would die today and would risk his life to not let Kakashi escape. Kakashi was forced to continue fighting with Zabuza. He was anxious and could only pray secretly that Sakura could let Madara possess her again to defeat his opponent.

Although the three Mist Village Anbu looked down on Sakura, they were not arrogant at all in the actual combat. They used all their strength even if a lion fights a rabbit. Moreover, the lesson of Zabuza was right in front of them. The three of them joined forces to besiege Sakura. Even though Sakura tried her best to resist, she was still no match for the three elite jonin.

The three men kicked Sakura from one man to another like kicking a ball. Sakura's weak and delicate body flew pitifully in the air and hit the ground, and the blood she spat out was all over the ground.

The five spirits behind the scenes once again felt the deep pain and extreme anger that Zabuza felt when he beat Sakura. They felt sorry for Sakura and hated themselves for being unable to do anything.

The chakras of the five people vibrated and buzzed in the air, like a raging fire burning the sky, like raging waves in the deep sea, like a violent storm, and like an endless rolling log tumbling and overturning.

Izuna's Sharingan keeps spinning and has been directly upgraded to the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Tobirama's expression was colder than ever before.

Hashirama clenched his teeth and a trace of blood slowly flowed out.

Minato clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms, but he felt no pain at all.

The lines of Madara's Rinnegan had slowly appeared, and he kept shouting, "Sakura, let me possess you!"

Kakashi's heart suddenly began to palpitate. The fear of losing his soul mate overwhelmed him again. He shouted anxiously and angrily. "Sakura!"

Kakashi no longer uses the Sharingan to copy ninjutsu, because that would only allow him to win evenly or slightly. He needs to make a quick decision! Kakashi vaguely feels that there are other uses for the Sharingan that Obito left him. At this time, when he is approaching the limit, Kakashi suddenly realizes the true power of this Sharingan.

He suddenly opened his Sharingan wide, and an invisible vortex radiated from around his eyes, forming a twisted pattern around Zabuza. Zabuza's body also twisted, slowly fading and disappearing.

Zabuza was shocked. "Hatake Kakashi, what did you do? What is this? Why am I disappearing? What did you do?!"

He swung the beheading sword wildly, and his chakra exploded wildly, which put a lot of pressure on Kakashi. The process of throwing Zabuza into the nameless space was slightly interrupted for a few seconds, but soon Kakashi also began to frantically squeeze his own chakra, fully supplying it to the Sharingan for transfer.

At the same time, in the distance, Sasori, Itachi and Obito also felt a violent heart palpitation again. The three of them changed color at the same time. Has something happened to their soul mate again?

Scorpion couldn't help but worry and get mad at the same time. What was wrong with his soul mate? Why was she always in life-threatening situations? What on earth did she do? What kind of job could make a little girl who had just reached the end of her period die at any time?

Scorpion's face suddenly froze. Could it be that his soul mate, Haruno Sakura, was a ninja? Only ninjas were prone to encounter life-and-death crises frequently. But if she was a ninja, judging from the fact that her menstrual period had just matured, Haruno Sakura should not be very old. She was probably just a Genin. Now was not wartime, and the major ninja villages did not need to use Genin as cannon fodder to fill the battlefield. They generally would not assign them tasks beyond the Genin's ability. So, what was going on with Haruno Sakura?

But this kind of special case is easier to find. Scorpion stood up and prepared to use his intelligence team to investigate where his soul mate is. After finding out, he wanted to see who his troublesome soul mate is. Is it fun to just irritate his heart every day? At worst, he would just imprison Haruno Sakura. I think she will not cause trouble again in the future.

Itachi was also wandering around in his room in the Akatsuki organization. What happened to Haruno Sakura? Would Sasuke also be in danger? After Itachi knew who Haruno Sakura was, he secretly investigated and found out that she, his brother Sasuke and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki were assigned to the same team, and the jonin teacher was the captain of the Anbu, Kakashi Hatake.

Itachi felt that this team combination was very dangerous for Haruno Sakura. To be honest, he would rather his soul mate join an ordinary team. Although there was no chance of promotion, it was at least safe. But now, it was like sitting on the crater of an active volcano. Sasuke and Naruto both had a lot of troubles, and Sakura could easily be dragged into it and suffer innocently.

Itachi was upset. Last time, he was able to keep his composure and watch Sakura die. Although she was saved somehow in the end, but this time it happened again, Itachi found that this time was more tormented than last time. He just wanted to fly to Sakura and save her immediately, but he didn't know where Sakura was. Itachi frowned and could only pray that she could survive this time, and that Kakashi senpai and Sasuke could protect her. Itachi sighed. If she could survive this time, he would go to see Haruno Sakura and persuade her to leave Team 7, and it would be best if she didn't become a ninja anymore.

While Obito was feeling palpitations, he also felt movement in his Kamui space. Obito's heart moved. Could it be that Kakashi discovered the use of Kamui? What happened to him? Could it be related to Sakura's life and death crisis?

Obito put on the Uzumaki mask and entered his Kamui space. Then, he saw a man slowly appear in the open space.

After his body was completely solidified, he no longer turned his head to look around at this strange space. There were no stars, moon or sky above his head. Only huge white square stone pillars stood in this dark space.

"Where the hell is this place?" Zabuza shouted.

"Zabuza Momochi?" A deep, smoky voice suddenly sounded, calling out his name. Zabuza turned around in horror and saw a tall man wearing a whirlpool mask suddenly appear. Zabuza immediately asked with a look of vigilance.

"Who are you? Do you know me? Why are you here? Where is this place?"

Obito laughed without any smile. "Of course I know him. I was there when you assassinated the Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura, and you almost ruined my plan."

Zabuza's eyes widened and he became more alert. "What do you mean? Who are you? I've never seen you in Kirigakure before. During the assassination, there was no third person present except me and the Yondaime!"

Obito didn't comment, just said. "You were fighting with Kakashi before? Where did you fight? Did you see Sakura? A beautiful girl with pink hair. She is my soul mate. I am very worried about her~."

When Obito talked about Sakura, his tone suddenly became cheerful, but soon, it turned into a cold and low voice, and murderous intent slowly burst out. "You didn't just bully her, did you?"

Zabuza was getting more and more suspicious. "You know the copy ninja Hatake Kakashi? That little girl is your soul mate? What's going on? Wait, that eye, is that a Sharingan?"

He looked at the man in front of him whose entire face was covered by a Uzumaki mask, with only one black eye exposed. His eyes suddenly turned red and turned into a Sharingan with rotating tomoe patterns. He was also extremely shocked.

"You don't need to know. Come on, tell me what happened." Obito smiled grimly.

It was too late when Zabuza realized that he shouldn't look at the other person's Sharingan. He felt dizzy and felt as if his whole body was being controlled. Before he completely lost his mind, Zabuza suddenly had an epiphany and shouted in surprise.

"It's you. It turns out that you are the one who controlled the Yondaime! It's you who created the Blood Mist Village!"

"You guessed it right, but there's no prize." The deliberately fake and cheerful voice was the last thing left in Zabuza's mind.

After Uchiha Obito controlled Zabuza, he began to ask him everything he wanted to know.

Outside, at the construction site of the Wave Country Bridge, an ANBU was beating Sakura mercilessly while asking a question in confusion. "Can this little girl really suddenly fight back? How badly does she need to be beaten to explode? Is she going to be beaten to death?"

"I think he's going to die soon." An Anbu said in a disinterested tone. "I thought there would be some surprises."

The leading Anbu didn't kick Sakura this time, but grabbed her hair and lifted her up. "It seems that the counterattack may be a one-time thing. Forget it, let's stop here. I don't like raping corpses."

Sakura's hands hung limply, motionless. Her scalp hurt, but her whole body hurt even more. Ban's roar seemed to be getting farther and farther away and more and more erratic. Sakura's mind gradually became blurred, but at this moment, Li Ying started screaming wildly.

[It's done! It's finally done. The compatibility is high enough. We can summon them to possess us! ]

Sakura wanted to smile bitterly. Why did she have to be dying every time before she could summon them to possess her? Would it always be like this? She didn't want this to happen. Why was she so weak that she had to rely on others to be saved? She had clearly told Ino that she wanted to be a ninja who could stand on her own.

She wanted to become stronger, not by relying on external forces, but by becoming stronger on her own! After Ying made up her mind, she extended her spiritual tentacles towards the five men.

This time, in Sakura's perception, they were no longer just spots of light, but five clear images of men, but they were covered with red, cyan, blue and green lights corresponding to the elemental attributes.

Madara, Hashirama, Tobirama, Izuna and Minato also felt this kind of spying at the same time. They were no longer in the unaware state as last time. Sakura's chakra outlined a hazy pink light and shadow similar to her in their consciousness.

Madara's face lit up immediately, and he said immediately, "Sakura, come find me!"

The five spirits behind him sensed Sakura's hesitation at the same time. The hazy light and shadow lingered around Madara for a while and then bypassed him. The five people also heard Sakura's crisp voice with a hint of anger in their ears like an auditory hallucination.

[No, you scolded me so harshly last time, I won't look for you! ]

Madara's face suddenly stiffened, and he said angrily, "Haruno Sakura, you damned girl! If you don't look for me, who are you going to look for? Come back quickly! You are not allowed to look for anyone else! Do you know that your possession divine connection has pitfalls?"

[I won't listen, I won't listen! ]

Sakura's tone was bubbly and wilful, causing Hashirama, Tobirama, Izuna, and Minato to burst out laughing, even though her true situation wasn't looking good to the outside world.

Izuna looked at Madara teasingly, "Brother Madara, why did you scold her to make Sakura hold a grudge? What does it mean that there is a pitfall in spiritual friendship?"

Madara ignored Izuna and coaxed Sakura with rare patience. "Sakura, be obedient! I will definitely not be mean to you this time. You should come to me. You see, the natural enemy of the Kirigakure ninja is our Uchiha's Fire Style."

Everyone could feel that Sakura seemed to be proudly raising her hands on her waist and speaking complacently.

[Don't fool me, Madara. I have studied the Five Forms' mutual promotion and mutual restraint carefully this time. This is the sea, and water-based ninjutsu is more suitable for use. So, Nidaime-sama, please! ]

Madara, Izuna, Hashirama, and Minato only felt that the hazy pink light and shadow representing Sakura suddenly approached Tobirama, and the moment the light and shadow reached out to touch him, Tobirama completely disappeared in their vision, but in their perception, the blue light and the pink light intertwined and tangled together, and sank into Sakura's own body.

Hashirama looked regretful. "Why didn't you ask me? Tobirama also told me last time that you can deal with water-types, and wood-types are also fine."

Madara's face stiffened again, nine parts of him were angry as if there was a green glow above his head, and one part was gloating. "That damn girl actually went to Tobirama, humph, I want to see what Tobirama says when he comes out."

"So what does it mean? Brother Madara, you are so mysterious. It's really frustrating." Izuna was almost losing her patience with Madara.

Minato also looked over curiously.

Madara turned his face away again. "Wait for Tobirama to come out and ask him."

Izuna rolled her eyes at her brother. "Do you think I have a good relationship with Senju Tobirama? Will he tell me?"

The four of them felt relaxed as they talked. With Tobirama around, there would definitely be no problem this time.

At this time, Tobirama, who was placed with high hopes, finally understood why Madara refused to tell him the details of the possession.

His face turned red, and he even felt resentful towards Ban for a moment, blaming him for not explaining clearly! This pit was truly a giant tiankeng!

Although Tobirama does not look for women, men's physiological impulses are still inevitable. Apart from the two options of taking a cold shower and waiting for the erection to soften on its own, Tobirama will also solve the problem himself. He originally thought that the difference between masturbation and sexual intercourse should not be very different, but today, Tobirama realized that there is a huge difference!

Although he had no body, Tobirama felt as if he was hallucinatingly feeling the sharp stimulation and extreme pleasure coming from his lower body, as if he was tightly wrapped in a narrow, warm, moist passage, constantly being squeezed and sucked. But it was not just his own feeling, the fusion of souls also made Tobirama feel the pleasure that Sakura felt.

As a man, Tobirama never thought that he could not only feel the sexual pleasure of men during intercourse, but also feel what it feels like to feel the sexual pleasure of women. In one spiritual intercourse, he could get triple happiness, double sexual pleasure of the body, and the pleasure of the fusion of souls.

The extreme mental and physical pleasure made the usually calm Tobirama lose all his self-control. He could no longer hold back and moaned sexily. Sakura seemed to have reached her limit as well and uttered a sweet and soft murmur. "Ah, it feels so good."

Sakura's face turned red. She raised her head and looked at him with wet green eyes. "Nidaime-sama, it feels so good. It feels even better than the last time with Madara."

So Madara really felt the same feeling as he was feeling now. Tobirama got confirmation from Sakura again, and he didn't know whether he should go out and beat Madara up or remain silent like him.

Maybe I should beat him up first and then keep silent, damn it! He was also dragged into the pirate ship by Uchiha Madara, Tobirama was helpless and furious.

Sakura held his hands with both and leaned against him. Their posture looked normal, but the waves of sexual pleasure that surged up in her told Tobirama that this was not an illusion.

Tobirama lowered his head and looked at Sakura again. She had a face that was innocent and naive, but also full of alluring lust. His instinctive nature as a man made his desire grow stronger. He just wanted to continue to have in-depth communication with her, but at the same time he felt ashamed.

Although this is not real physical intercourse, what is the difference between this and having sex with Sakura? She is only 12 years old. Compared with his real age, Sakura can be his granddaughter. What is he doing!

Tobirama's tone turned cold unconsciously due to his self-loathing. "Stop now! Let me go."

Sakura sensed Tobirama's resistance, and the spiritual connection began to fluctuate and become unstable. She suddenly panicked, feeling wronged and scared, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Second-generation master, do you hate me?"

Under the spiritual connection, Sakura's feelings were completely communicated to Tobirama, although the reverse did not seem to be true, otherwise Sakura would not be unaware that not only did he not hate her, but he liked her a little too much, so that Tobirama could not accept such a shameful self at all.

But as soon as Sakura cried, Tobirama felt distressed and couldn't bear to reject her anymore. The spiritual intercourse became stable again. Then, in addition to the sexual pleasure, Tobirama finally felt all of Sakura's senses at the same time. The pain of the external body made Tobirama finally remember what his purpose of possessing Sakura was.

Tobirama suddenly opened Sakura's eyes and saw that the Kirigakure Anbu had torn open Sakura's front, revealing the tender white buds. Tobirama was immediately filled with rage and his chakra exploded. The huge chakra as heavy as tons of water pressure in the deep sea instantly filled the entire space.

"Take your dirty hands away!" Tobirama gritted his teeth and said word by word, and he made two seals with his hands, and a water blade came out of his mouth. "Water Style: Water Break Wave!"

The leader of the Kirigakure Anbu was suppressed by Tobirama's terrifying chakra and his whole body was stiff. He used all his life's will to barely dodge the water wave that would have definitely blown his head off on the spot, but he still couldn't avoid it and was pierced directly through the shoulder blade.

The leading Anbu screamed, covered his shoulder and crawled backwards. The remaining two Anbu quickly pulled him up. The three of them drew their swords and looked at Tobirama cautiously.

The leading Anbu asked, panting heavily. "Who are you? Shouldn't you be using Fire Style? Why is it Water Style?"

At this time, Kakashi rushed over after sending Zabuza away with Kamui. He quickly stood in front of Sakura, then turned around and asked hesitantly, "Uchiha Madara?"

"What?" The three Mist Hidden Anbu's pupils suddenly shrank and their faces were filled with shock.

Tobirama pushed Kakashi away impatiently. "Don't stand in front of me! You're hindering my attack, Hatake Kakashi. You made a wrong decision this time. I will punish you after this is over. Also, who is Uchiha Madara? Call me Nidaime-sama!"

With the appearance of Sakura, Tobirama still fully displayed his stern expression, so Kakashi immediately stood at attention unconsciously and greeted him with a guilty conscience. "Nidaime-sama."

"Second-generation? The second-generation Hokage, isn't that Tobirama Senju?" After hearing the conversation between the two, the leading Anbu thought for a while and his face changed drastically.

"Hurry up! The Second Hokage's Water Style is unrivaled in the world, and Flying Thunder God is the fastest in the ninja world. Plus with the existence of Uchiha Madara, we must pass this information to the village immediately." The leading Anbu turned around and tried to escape.

But how could Tobirama let these three people go? He simply formed a seal again and shouted, "Water Style. Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

In the sea, a huge water dragon rose up, covering the sky and the sun, roaring and engulfing the three Mist Village Anbu, and with its momentum unabated, it took away Cardo and the gang of ruffians behind him. Moreover, Tobirama made sure that no one could float up from the sea again, and dragged them all into the deep sea, sinking them forever. After confirming that the three Mist Village Anbu and more than a hundred people including Cardo had completely disappeared from his perception, Tobirama withdrew his ninjutsu and perception.

Kakashi counted the seals of the Second Hokage. Well, there were only two hand seals. He inexplicably felt a little sour. It was the same Water Dragon Bullet Technique. He grunted and made seals, and was exhausted after finishing it. The Second Hokage did it as easily as breathing. It's really frustrating to compare yourself to others.

Tobirama crossed his arms over his chest and mercilessly rebuked the dazed Kakashi. "Kakashi, what are you still doing here? Go and finish the fight between Sasuke and Naruto, don't let the enemy get away."

Kakashi finally came back to his senses and quickly responded, "Yes, Nidaime-sama!"

This is the scene that Obito saw when he secretly poked his head out of the Kamui space to observe the situation after reading Zabuza's memory and killing him. His soul mate displayed his Kamui power and performed powerful ninjutsu that a Genin could never use, killing three Mist Village Anbu in seconds. Kakashi even respectfully called him the Second Daime.

Obito looked at his soul mate's sweet and pretty face, revealing a majestic and cold expression that was completely inconsistent with her character. Relying on the deep connection between soul mates, he intuitively sensed that it was not Haruno Sakura. So, was this really the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama? How could it be possible? Shouldn't he have died long ago? Why was he in Sakura's body?

Obito was full of doubts and worried about what happened to Sakura. At this moment, Sakura's green eyes looked over sharply and asked loudly. "Who!"

Seeing Sakura, who was suspected to be the Second Hokage, rushing towards him, Obito quickly retracted his head and returned to the Kamui space.

Obito recalled that in Zabuza's confession, Sakura did defeat him like two different people, but at that time she used Fire Style. Historically, the Second Hokage was good at Water Style, and today's battle also showed that this was indeed the case. So, was there someone else who defeated Zabuza?

Obito's face was gloomy. His soul mate suddenly had a secret that he didn't know. This made Obito extremely uneasy and full of doubts. Maybe he needed to investigate carefully later to avoid being discovered.

Tobirama stared at the void with sharp eyes. There was definitely someone there just now, although he has disappeared now. He didn't know who it was, which made Tobirama feel like there was something stuck in his throat. Sakura's bloodline limit was not yet exposed, and he must not let him catch any clues again, otherwise he would kill her without hesitation.

What interrupted Tobirama's thoughts was the sexual pleasure that made him feel extremely guilty. It rose in waves and reached the highest point directly. The orgasm engulfed his entire spirit and senses like a tide, and Tobirama ejaculated mentally.

After a moment of satisfaction, shame resurfaced in his heart, and Tobirama awkwardly broke free from Sakura's hands. Seeing Sakura's confusion and depressed expression, Tobirama was sure that Madara had never told her what spiritual communication meant to them, but just as Madara couldn't say it, Tobirama couldn't say it either.

Tobirama could only clench his fists and cough uncomfortably, trying to soften his expression and comfort Sakura. "Don't think too much, Sakura, I don't mean anything else. Next time if you need help."

When Tobirama said this, his throat choked up for a moment, and he spoke the next words with difficulty. "If you need help, you can still come to me. Yes, just come to me, not Madara!" Tobirama said the last emphasis fluently and firmly.

Unfortunately, Sakura completely misunderstood Tobirama's intentions, and thought that since the Nidaime-sama said it reluctantly, he probably wasn't really willing to help her, as he must have thought that he was weak and troublesome.

Sakura tried hard to smile and agreed with him, but she was still in a very low mood. She thought she should not try to possess the Nidaime-sama in the future, lest he be unhappy.

Sakura secretly looked up at Tobirama. The second generation was also very handsome, although his style of handsomeness was different from Madara and Kakashi. He looked calm, rational, and ruthless. The colors on his body were all cold tones. His hair was as white as snow, and his skin was also very fair. The only color was the three sharp red marks on his cheeks, and a pair of pomegranate red eyes, which were narrow, long, sharp, and awe-inspiring, looking like a samurai sword that was unsheathed and emitting cold light.

He was already tall, and had a white fur collar on his shoulders, which gave people a strong sense of oppression like a maned lion. Although in Sakura's eyes, she had a stronger urge to throw herself into the furry collar and rub her face against it.

Alas, Sakura sighed secretly, obviously the Nidaime Tobirama was her favorite cool guy appearance, but when she thought that he didn't like her, Sakura was no longer in the mood to be crazy about him. He also had a cold face, he must be eager to get out of this possessed state as soon as possible.

Little did Tobirama know that his shame was misunderstood by Sakura, and she completely misinterpreted his meaning. Even his self-proclaimed gentle and kind attitude seemed like a stepmother collecting a debt in Sakura's eyes. Although Tobirama did not realize his own problem and could not empathize with Sakura's feelings now, observing her facial expression, Tobirama also felt that something seemed to be wrong. But before he had the chance to figure it out, Sakura had already sent Tobirama away unhappily.

Tobirama returned to reality as a ghost again. He was confused for a moment before he reacted. Then, he temporarily gave up the idea of exploring Sakura and instead glared at Madara.

"Banara, you hid it so well! You didn't even say that possession was like that!"

Madara looked at Tobirama with a complicated expression, jealousy, gloating, and sympathy. He snorted and said sarcastically. "What's the matter? Tell me~"

"Yes, Tobirama, what's the situation?" Hashirama asked curiously.

Tobirama was speechless and turned his head away. "Nothing!"

Hashirama pouted and complained. "No, Tobirama, why is Madara like this and you like this too? What does it feel like to be possessed? Why are you all so secretive?"

"Brother, don't ask anymore! I won't tell you. Anyway, there is a trap in this possession!" Tobirama said impatiently.

"Madara also said there was a trap, and the Nidaime-sama also said there was a trap. What was the trap? Should I not possess you? If I hurt you, I apologize. I won't possess you next time. No, I won't possess anyone again." Sakura's choked sobbing voice suddenly sounded beside the five spirits behind them.

The five people were stunned, and then they realized that the possession link state had not disappeared, and Sakura's hazy pink light was still lingering around them.

Thinking of Sakura's words, Madara and Tobirama's faces froze at the same time, and then they hurriedly explained and tried to comfort Sakura.

"No! Sakura, there is no trap. It's all my own problem. Don't misunderstand me! I said, I am willing to possess you and help you. There is no harm at all. Believe me!" Tobirama felt that he had messed up and made Sakura misunderstand him. Now he can only try his best to make up for it.

Madara insisted. "No trick, that was just a joke. I'm just not happy that you found Tobirama instead of me. Don't let your imagination run wild, okay?"

Sakura was still half-believing and half-doubting, sobbing and asking, "So, Madara and Nidaime-sama don't hate me? Don't they think I'm weak and troublesome?"

"I definitely don't hate you!" This time, Madara and Tobirama denied it in unison.

Tobirama's face softened as he praised. "I've seen all of Sakura's efforts. You're very brave and you've done very well. Sakura will slowly become stronger."

Madara crossed his arms and snorted. "It's true that you are weak, but I don't think you are a problem. Instead of just complaining about yourself, why don't you work hard to become stronger? I will help you become stronger."

Sakura took in Tobirama's encouragement and Madara's unpleasant motivation, and only then did she burst into laughter.

Hashirama, Izuna and Minato also quickly expressed their opinions.

"Sakura, Madara-ge is always not good at talking, so don't mind what he says." Izuna explained for her brother first, then said. "By the way, I am looking forward to possessing you, remember to find me next time, okay? We will ignore Madara-ge and Tobirama." Izuna winked at Sakura.

Madara looked at Izuna helplessly, and Tobirama glared at Izuna.

Although Sakura still didn't really look at Kiyozuna's appearance, after all, he was surrounded by red light, but she also felt his friendliness and teasing, and immediately nodded gratefully. "Okay, okay, Izuna-san."

Minato also spoke gently. "Sakura, I am willing to possess you. No matter what happens, I will protect you. Let's work hard together, okay?"

"Okay, thank you, Fourth-generation Lord." Sakura felt warmed in her heart and thanked him again.

Hashirama patted his chest, looking very confident. "Sakura-chan, you don't have to pay attention to Madara and Tobirama. If they say it's their problem, then it must be their problem. At worst, you can just stop looking for them and look for me instead!"

This time, Tobirama and Madara rolled their eyes at Hashirama at the same time.

Hashirama suddenly thought of something and said happily, "Oh right, isn't this a good opportunity now? Sakura, let me possess you. You look so badly injured. Let me possess you and help you heal."

"Ah, Shodaime-sama, is it okay? There won't be any trap..." Sakura was moved but also worried. She couldn't help but look at Tobirama and Madara, as if she was confirming something.

Madara and Tobirama's faces changed, but when they saw Sakura's cautious attitude, they could only quickly twist their faces into a gentle expression to comfort the sensitive Sakura. They couldn't let her misunderstand and get sad a second time. Moreover, when they looked at Sakura's scarred body, they felt that she urgently needed Hashirama's treatment.

So, the two of them kept silent, but their eyes were slightly conflicted when they looked at Hashirama. Like Madara, Tobirama felt an unpleasant feeling as if a dark cloud was hanging over his head. Of course, Madara had this feeling for the second time.

Sakura grabbed Hashirama, and the two of them entered the possession state again. Sakura was very anxious this time, and as soon as she entered, she couldn't wait to ask.

She bit her lip subconsciously, looking uneasy. "Shodaime-sama? How do you feel?"

She saw Hashirama's cheerful and gentle expression change. His eyes seemed to be getting wider and wider in disbelief. His face was full of astonishment. He suddenly became unconfident and lowered his head in frustration. "Shodaime-sama, do you also think there is a trap? Then let's just forget it."

She tried to let go of Hashirama's hand and end the possession, but Hashirama held her hand tightly in return. Sakura looked up in confusion, but saw that Hashirama's shocked expression was gone, and he suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had suddenly realized something, with a bit of mockery and full of excitement.

"Ahahahahaha, I was wondering what was going on between Madara and Tobirama, so that's how it is, hahaha."

Sakura was confused by Hashirama's laughter, "What? Shodaime-sama? What are you laughing at? Are you really not feeling unwell?"

Hashirama stopped laughing, and when he looked down at Sakura, his eyes changed. His tone was almost flirtatious and he said, "Sakura-chan, I feel very comfortable. Or rather, too comfortable. Don't worry, there is no pitfall in possession."

When Hashirama was wandering in the red-light district, he had heard those who had soul mates boast that sex with their soul mates was the most exciting and ecstasy, and that no matter how skilled the courtesans were in bed, they could not compare to that. Although Hashirama secretly envied him, he had no idea what that ultimate ecstasy feeling was like. But today, he felt it.

Although it was not known whether this was a side effect of the possession or because they were soul mates, Hashirama was indeed enjoying it, so much so that his scalp was tingling, and he threw away his moral bottom line without any scruples.

He used to look at Sakura as if she were his own granddaughter and thought she was so adorable no matter how he looked at her. She was so cute that he wanted to hug her and love her and pamper her. Now, he still thinks Sakura is adorable and wants to hug her and love her and pamper her, but this time he wants to hug her tightly in bed and love her hard, so that she can make sweet noises and show him cute expressions.

Because of this imagination, Hashirama felt that the already surging sexual pleasure became even more intense. Hashirama could not help but moan. This was stronger than any pleasure he had ever felt in the past, and it could reach the intensity of a normal orgasm. He wondered what it would feel like if he climaxed here.

Sakura heard Hashirama groaning, but it didn't sound like he was uncomfortable, so she felt relieved. "Really? Shodaime-sama, that's great! The previous two times, I thought Madara and Nidaime-sama were in pain. I was saying, I felt very comfortable too. I don't know why they reacted so strangely." Sakura pouted and complained.

Looking at the innocent and naive Sakura, Hashirama felt a secret pleasure. He finally understood the mentality of some lolita lovers. Although he understood it, he has become a bad guy now, but Hashirama didn't care. Sakura was his soul mate anyway, and she would always be his no matter how old she was.

Hashirama rarely said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Ignore them, they just can't let go for the moment, they should actually feel great."

His younger brother Tobirama is not interested in women, and his good gay friend Madara is not keen on love affairs either, so it is normal that they can't resist for a while, but he doesn't think the two of them will struggle for long, this kind of pleasure is addictive and irresistible.

"Very cool?" Sakura thought the wording was a bit strange. She looked at Hashirama in confusion. Although he still smiled warmly and cheerfully, somehow Sakura felt a chill on her back. However, her natural trust and attachment to her soul mate made her quickly erase this feeling.

"By the way, Sakura-chan, do we have to hold hands? Can't we try another position?" Hashirama asked curiously.

Sakura was stunned and asked Ri-Sakura, only to find out that as long as their bodies kept in contact there would be no problem. Sakura also told Hashirama this.

"Is that so? Then let's change positions. I'm a little tired of standing." Hashirama pulled Sakura to sit on the ground. He bent his legs slightly, put his hands under Sakura's armpits, lifted her up, let her sit astride him, and then put his arms around Sakura's waist. In this way, Sakura could face him.

Sakura put her hands on Hashirama's chest, feeling that this posture was a bit embarrassing, but Sakura had always been a good and obedient child and would never disobey the orders of her authority, so she just stayed still.

By this time, Hashirama had already adapted to the state of possession. He was circulating his chakra to repair the injuries on Sakura's body, while at the same time conversing with Sakura without distraction. Coupled with the continuous waves of sexual pleasure, Hashirama was secretly amazed at this state of spiritual connection, as he could actually do three things at once without interfering with each other.

Hashirama smiled as he looked at Sakura carefully and seriously, and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, what a pretty little thing.

The little girl had long pink hair that reached nearly her waist. It was soft and shiny and looked very good to the touch. Hashirama's heart moved casually and he touched Sakura's hair with his big hands. It was indeed very silky. He stroked it again and again like petting a cat and continued to look into her eyes.

She had a good eye shape, the most alluring cat's eyes. When she was immersed in love, she must be very charming. Her pair of green eyes were the same as Hashirama's favorite forest, but brighter and greener. At this moment, her cat's eyes were wide open and she seemed a little at a loss. Hashirama laughed and continued to watch.

Her cheeks were pink, fair, rosy, and still had some baby fat, like a glutinous rice dumpling, which made Hashirama want to take a bite of her cheeks. Hashirama suppressed his dark desire, and his eyes finally fell on her petal-like bright red lips. The shape was beautiful and made people want to kiss them. Hashirama's eyes deepened, and his fingertips could not help but gently caressing her lips.

Sakura was a little restless. After all, she had been taught not to be touched by men casually, and the girl's ignorant sexual awareness had been awakened. But when they were in the state of spiritual intercourse, her mind and senses were in complete harmony with Hashirama, and she trusted Hashirama with all her heart.

Moreover, Hashirama was the founder and first generation of their village, so Sakura naturally respected and obeyed him. Plus, he was her soul mate, so Sakura obediently did not move. Normally, if Naruto dared to treat her like this, Sakura would have shouted "pervert" and beaten him up.

Hashirama asked with curiosity on his face and inquiry in his eyes. "Sakura-chan, I want to know how you feel when we have spiritual intercourse. You said you feel very comfortable. Can Sakura-chan describe what kind of comfort it is?"

Hashirama thought it was strange that Sakura didn't realize that it was sexual pleasure after having spiritual intercourse with Madara and Tobirama, and then with him. Could it be that her feelings were different from theirs?

Ying put her fingers on her chin, trying to think of how to describe this feeling. "What is it? I just feel very comfortable and light."

This seemed like nothing had been said, so Hashirama could only continue to persuade her, "Do you feel any part of your body that is particularly comfortable?"

"No?" Sakura was puzzled.

Hashirama looked at Sakura thoughtfully. Was it because she really felt differently from them, or was it because she was too pure and innocent and had no sexual experience, so she didn't know that it was sexual pleasure?

Hashirama wanted to confirm that although it was a soul, all the reactions of the body were almost the same as in reality. Hashirama was also in an erection. Hashirama deliberately pushed Sakura who was sitting on him, and his penis gently embedded into the depression of the little girl and rubbed and grinded it.

Ying's eyes widened and she gasped in surprise, but soon her eyes lit up and she spoke excitedly. "Yes, that's the feeling, very similar to this!"

Well, it turns out that he couldn't tell that this was sexual pleasure because he had no experience, Hashirama couldn't help but laugh.

Sakura looked down at Hashirama's lower body with some confusion. "What are you using to push me? Shodaime-sama, what's that hard thing?"

Hashirama cursed. The cute little girl said such erotic words with an innocent face. It was simply naked seduction! The pleasure that had been rising all the time directly reached the orgasm because of this sentence. Hashirama was so stimulated that he couldn't speak for a while. He enjoyed it for a long time before he recovered. But he also regretted to find that Sakura's body had been repaired and the state of spiritual intercourse was intermittent.

Hashirama pinched Sakura's nose and smiled cheerfully. "It seems the time is up. I can only tell you next time, Sakura-chan."

Hashirama returned to reality, looking at Madara and Tobirama's hesitant and slightly jealous eyes, and gave them a knowing and mocking look, with a lingering smile on his face.

Madara and Tobirama immediately felt despised, and both looked angry. Doesn't the eldest brother (Hashirama) have any concerns? What a pervert!

Izuna and Minato looked at the silent understanding between the three people and felt that they were excluded, which made them even more anxious about possessing Sakura.

This life-and-death crisis also made Sakura and Madara's compatibility even better. In addition to Madara, she can now see Tobirama and Hashirama, hear them talking, and can also see Izuna and Minato shrouded in a ball of red and blue light. I believe that it will be just around the corner for her to see and hear them clearly.

Sakura went to find Kakashi, Sasuke, Naruto and others. Kakashi killed Haku. In order to prevent Sakura's secret from being leaked, Kakashi showed no mercy. Because he intervened in time, Sasuke and Naruto were not seriously injured.

Cardo's army was completely wiped out, and Dazna was completely relieved. Three days later, the bridge was successfully completed. When naming the bridge, everyone unanimously decided to name it Sakura Bridge, because they all saw how Sakura used her divine power to collectively destroy Cardo and his gang. Dazna's grandson Inari adored Sakura so much that he even had a crush on her and kept shouting that he wanted to marry her when he grew up, which made Kakashi and the five spirits behind him glare at Inari several times.

Sakura wanted to refuse, but everyone insisted, and Kakashi touched her head and asked her to accept it generously. Sakura happily agreed. Facing Sakura who became a hero, Sasuke and Naruto felt a little jealous and unconvinced. They could only secretly encourage themselves to surpass Sakura next time and perform better than her.

After the mission was over, when returning to Konoha, Sakura walked on the Sakura Bridge named after herself, with jumpy steps and an unusually bright mood. She looked left at Kakashi, Sasuke, and Naruto, then at the five soul mates around her, and smiled widely. She just felt that the world was so beautiful and the future was full of promise.

The mission in Wave Country is over, and the next step is the Chunin Exam.

The name of the bridge was changed, hoping that Sakura could become a shining hero.

Chapter 19 : chapter 19

Chapter Text

After Team 7 returned to Konoha, Kakashi disbanded the team on the spot and went to the Hokage Building to submit the report on the mission to the Land of Waves to the Third Hokage.

In order to conceal Sakura's bloodline limit and protect her safety, Kakashi did not mention Sakura's decisive and great contribution in this mission, but shamelessly took all the credit on himself. Of course, Sasuke and Naruto's performance was still recorded truthfully.

The Sandaime had no doubt at all about the fact that Haruno Sakura had almost no presence in the report. If it weren't for the fact that Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke both had a delicate relationship with her, Sarutobi Hiruzen would never have paid attention to Haruno Sakura and assigned her to Team 7. Although he later unexpectedly discovered that she had 9 incredible soul mates, which escalated his attention to her, it did not mean that he was optimistic that Haruno Sakura would become a powerful ninja.

Therefore, the Sandaime was just surprised that a C-level mission was inexplicably upgraded to B-level, and he simply settled the mission.

Holding the commission for the four missions, Kakashi walked out of the Hokage Building. After delivering the commissions to Naruto and Sasuke respectively, Kakashi looked at the remaining two commission bags with very different proportions, put the scarce money belonging to Sakura into his arms, and then took the largest bag of commission that belonged to him. He could claim the credit, but the commission still had to be given to Sakura, which was earned by the little girl at the risk of her life.

It just so happened that he could also ask Sakura out for dinner, which was also a fulfillment of the promise she made to treat him when she took care of him for a week. Kakashi tossed the coin bag in his hand, and the corners of his mouth under the mask curled up slightly, and his mood became a little happier.

Kakashi swiftly jumped onto the balcony outside Sakura's bedroom and knocked on the window glass as a greeting. "Sakura, it's me, Kakashi, I'm coming in."

When he squatted on the window frame, lifted the curtain and looked inside, he saw Sakura who was changing clothes. She was only wearing pink panties with a strawberry pattern and was fastening her bra with both hands. Her small breasts were round, plump, white and tender, looking cute and eye-catching.

Kakashi froze for a moment, but his eyes honestly looked Sakura up and down. Well, she was still a little immature and could grow longer. Then, the next moment, he realized that something was wrong.

Kakashi was sweating and trying to explain. "Uh, this..."

Sakura, holding the button of her shirt, stood there in a daze. After the shock, she was quickly filled with shame and anger. She covered her chest with her hands, screamed, and grabbed the books on the desk and threw them at Kakashi.

"Ah! Pervert! Get out!"

Kakashi was hit directly in the face by a book and hurriedly jumped off the window frame in a panic. Just as he was about to jump out of the balcony, he heard Sakura scream again.

"Ah! Pervert! Pervert! Don't come in, get out!"

Didn't he go out? Before Kakashi could wonder, he heard Sakura scream again.

"I'm fine! Get out now! Madara, did you hear me? And, all of you, get out!"

The sound of books hitting the door panels was heard one after another, and Kakashi suddenly realized that it was Minato and the others. They must have been startled by the noise of his accidental intrusion and thought that Sakura was in trouble, so they also accidentally broke in.

Kakashi was embarrassed. As the culprit, he felt that he would be punished later. Well, should he be glad that he couldn't see them? Minato-sensei and the others couldn't teach him a lesson in person. Even if they showed themselves in the future, they wouldn't be angry after so much time had passed, right? Maybe?

At this moment, inside the Sakura room, the five ghosts behind also felt that they had suffered an unexpected disaster.

Hashirama quietly let himself be teased, feeling itchy in his heart, but he smiled innocently, then reluctantly left Sakura's room. "Sakura-chan, I'm glad you're okay. I'm leaving now."

Minato also blushed and was embarrassed, and quickly looked away, and spoke considerately. "Sorry, Sakura, I'll go out now, call me if you need anything."

Izumi looked at Sakura, then looked out the window fiercely. "Which bastard dared to peek? Sakura, don't be afraid, I will kill him!"

He went out too, but instead of walking toward the door, he jumped directly out of the window.

"Damn it!" Although all the books thrown by Sakura were pierced through, Tobirama, who was thought to be a voyeur for the first time in his life and after his death, felt that his reputation was completely ruined.

What's worse is that because of the side effects of the previous possession, Tobirama found that this time he couldn't remain calm and unperturbed like he did the first time when looking at the half-naked Sakura. Noticing the restlessness of his body, Tobirama became even more angry and wanted to kill the peeping Tom who had ruined his reputation.

"I'm going to kill that peeping bastard!" He rushed out of the window in anger.

Only Uchiha Madara was left. He didn't go anywhere, crossed his arms, and looked dissatisfied. "Good intentions are really not rewarded. Why did everyone see it, but you only called me by my name? Sakura, you little girl, isn't this too unfair? This is discriminatory treatment!"

Seeing that Madara not only didn't leave, but was actually entangled in such a strange little thing, Sakura was shocked, shy, speechless, and she shouted angrily. "Madara, idiot! Idiot! Big idiot! You pervert! Get out now."

Madara weighed 140 kilograms but had at least 130 kilograms of rebelliousness. Not only did he not move, he even moved closer to Sakura, baring his teeth and sneering at her. "Humph, you've already called me a pervert, how can I leave? Otherwise, wouldn't it be unworthy of this undeserved title of mine?"

He looked Ying up and down and said with disdain, "You're so skinny, eat more meat to grow taller. You look skinny now, and it doesn't feel good to touch."

Sakura was stunned, covering her chest with one hand and pointing at Madara with the other hand trembling, "You you you! Madara, you are shameless!"

Madara twirled his ears with his pinky finger, "I can't hear you, are you really not wearing any clothes? It's okay if you don't wear any clothes, I'll see it later anyway, just treat it as a rehearsal in advance."

Madara happily bullied his soul mate without any pressure, letting this little girl always go against him! Besides, since she is his woman, what's wrong with him taking a look?

Hooligan! Sakura was really scared now. Did she provoke Uchiha Madara to give up her moral integrity? Sakura turned her back and hurriedly buttoned her clothes with shaking hands. Although the more anxious she was, the harder it was to button, she was almost sweating. The unscrupulous gaze from behind seemed to weigh on her like a real weight, making Sakura feel like a thorn in her back.

Outside the room, Hashirama saw the five of them go into Sakura's room, but only he and Minato came out. He immediately felt that he had been at a big disadvantage, and that he was too kind after all. He spoke righteously and sternly. "Wait, what are the three of them doing in there? Are they all out? Let me take a look."

Without waiting for Minato to try to stop him, Hashirama looked through the door again. Tobirama and Izuna were not there. It seemed that they had chased out. However, Hashirama was also shocked to see such a big Madara standing there motionless. When did Madara become so shameless? He was even more shameless than him. He had lost.

Although Hashirama was thinking, his face was filled with shock and disbelief. He walked into Sakura's room again, grabbed Madara's shoulders and dragged him out. "Madara, what are you doing? How can you peek at Sakura-chan?"

Sakura finally buttoned up her bra. Although the bikini was still embarrassing, the thought of wearing a bikini made her feel better. She turned her head and looked at Hashirama with a look of gratitude for help. "Shodaime-sama, please take Madara away~"

"Don't worry, Sakura-chan, I'll take him away right away." Hashirama smiled brightly and stared at Sakura openly.

Now it was Madara's turn to look unhappy. It would have been fine if he was the only one, but Hashirama saw it, and Madara felt his head turn green again. "Tsk, why did you come in again, Hashirama."

"I'm here to stop you, Madara. You've also become depraved, peeping at young girls." Hashirama said this halfheartedly, looking heartbroken, but he continued to take advantage of Sakura without blinking.

Madara's mouth twitched. "Hashirama, do you dare to speak with a clear conscience? You accused me of peeping, but your eyes were completely glued to Sakura. This old pervert! He couldn't succeed. Madara took control of the situation and walked out with his hand on Hashirama's shoulder. "Let's go, Hashirama, what are you looking at!"

Hashirama yelled, "Madara, you are slandering me. It was obviously you who was looking at Sakura-chan. I came to stop you, but you are the first to complain!"

The two of them pulled each other out again. Sakura heaved a sigh of relief and quickly put on her clothes. After she was dressed, she finally felt relieved. She was too unlucky. It was all Kakashi's fault! It seemed that her resentment was accepted by Kakashi. She heard Kakashi jump onto her windowsill again and speak carefully outside the window. "Sakura, are you okay? Can I come in now?"

Sakura could also hear two voices that Kakashi couldn't.

"Hatake Kakashi, you shameless and rude guy, one time is not enough, you actually do it again?! Don't you know how to use the door?" Izuna cursed angrily.

"It's unbelievable! You don't know how to avoid suspicion. As soon as I reveal myself, I will revoke your position as a teacher immediately!" Tobirama was also full of anger.

Sakura felt that Izuna and the second generation were right, she suddenly pulled open the curtains and glared at Kakashi with shame and anger.

"Kakashi sensei, don't you know how to be a guest? Don't you know how to use the door? You actually climbed through the window and came in without even saying hello! You don't act like a teacher at all!"

Hearing the voices talking inside, Hashirama, Madara and Minato walked in again and saw Kakashi clinging to the windowsill, with Izuna and Tobirama standing beside him, looking gloomy and angry.

"So, Kakashi is a voyeur." Hashirama felt that it was unexpected but also reasonable.

Madara snorted. "Kakashi is a shameless guy. He is capable of anything. He has had bad intentions towards Sakura for a long time."

Sakura rolled her eyes, but endured it and didn't confront Madara directly, saying, "You are not that good when you talk about others."

Hashirama looked at Minato again, patted his shoulder, and said sadly, "You should educate your students well. Look, this is the nth time this has happened."

Minato smiled helplessly. "Yes, I will definitely teach Kakashi a lesson later."

The last few words that Minato spoke were quite meaningful. This student of his really brought shame upon him.

Kakashi shuddered and instinctively thought of Minato teacher, but now was not the time to worry about himself. It was more important to coax Sakura. Kakashi raised his hands in front of him to beg for mercy, his eyes curved into a wry smile to appease her.

"Well, Sakura, don't be angry. I know I was wrong. Next time I will definitely ask for your permission before coming in. This is just a habit of mine. Ninjas usually don't go through the main door."

"Bullshit!" Izuna sneered.

"Nonsense!" Tobirama's eyes were sharp.

"Listen to your nonsense!" Sakura put her hands on her hips, still feeling very angry, because Kakashi, she was seen naked by six men in one go. Sakura narrowed her eyes and asked threateningly. "Kakashi sensei, you didn't see anything just now, did you?"

Kakashi, who saw everything but absolutely could not say anything, remained calm and answered without changing his expression. "Of course, I didn't see anything, Sakura, don't worry."

"Oh, you're lying!" Izuna sneered.

"You're lying with your eyes open!" Tobirama's face turned pale.

"Kakashi sensei you are a liar!" Sakura became even angrier and shouted with her finger pointed angrily. Her fluent and thoughtless manner showed that she was lying.

Kakashi laughed. "I really didn't see it. At most I saw a little bit, but now I have forgotten it all. Yes, I have forgotten it all."

"You're lying. I think I'm enjoying it." Izuna looked disdainful.

"You have no shame or remorse!" Tobirama gritted his teeth.

Sakura felt that she could no longer suppress her anger after hearing what Izuna and Tobirama said in unison. Just as she was about to continue to argue, her attention was suddenly attracted by a thick purse that was held in front of her. Before she could ask, Kakashi spoke with a smile.

"Okay, Ying, don't be angry. Look, I'm here to give you my commission. The teacher invites you out for dinner as a thank you for taking care of me and as an apology for accidentally running into me just now, okay?"

"He doesn't want to thank you or apologize, he wants to seduce you." Izuna sneered again and exposed Kakashi's intention.

Tobirama was also unhappy. "You don't do your job as a teacher, you just chase women. You have time to eat, why don't you go to special training!"

But this time, Sakura didn't listen to Izuna and Tobirama. She didn't care what Kakashi was going to do. Her money was the most important. Special training was good, but she would be happier if she could blackmail the teacher.

So, Ying's eyes lit up, and she happily grabbed the bag, opened it, and exclaimed in even greater surprise. "Wow, so many? Why are there so many?"

Kakashi reached out and touched Sakura's head, smiling. "You deserve this, because Sakura worked so hard to defeat Zabuza and the Kirigakure ANBU, so that the Wave Country mission could be successfully completed."

Sakura blushed and looked at Madara and Tobirama. "It's not my credit. It was all done by Madara and the Nidaime. I didn't do anything."

"At least you're grateful this time and thank me honestly." Madara snorted complacently.

"Without your bloodline limit, I would not be able to help you. We are soul mates, there is no need to be so fussy." Tobirama coughed and spoke in a gentle tone.

Madara was immediately unhappy. This made him look petty and calculative. He was indeed a despicable and shameless Senju Tobirama! He said he didn't care and didn't want to have any relationship with Sakura, but he didn't hesitate to please Sakura!

Izuna looked at Tobirama with contempt and became even more suspicious about the possession. There was an obvious change in Tobirama's attitude before and after the possession. What changed his mind?

Sakura looked at Tobirama with her big green eyes, feeling touched and happy. "Thank you, Nidaime-sama."

The corners of Tobirama's mouth slightly raised. "Call me Tobirama, don't you also call Madara by his name?"

"That's disrespectful. I'd better call you Tobirama-sama," Sakura said with a blush.

"Okay, as long as you're happy, Sakura." Tobirama's smile became a little more obvious.

Madara was even more unhappy, "Wait, Tobirama needs respect so he is an adult, then why don't you respect me and call me Madara-sama? No, this is absolutely intolerable, otherwise it makes me look inferior to Senju Tobirama? Call me Madara-sama!"

Sakura said with a stern face, "Madara, you are not the Hokage, and you betrayed Konoha, how can you be respected?"

Madara's face suddenly turned gloomy. Sakura's words made Madara, who had become a little lax recently because he had been hanging out with his soul mate for too long, alert again.

He had actually completely forgotten about his differences with Hashirama, his differences with Konoha, and his Infinite Tsukuyomi plan recently. The old saying was true, since ancient times, the land of gentleness is the grave of heroes. He had actually softened too. How could this be!

Madara's sudden silence and gloomy expression made Sakura regret it immediately. After all, Madara was one of the founders of Konoha and had a great reputation in the ninja world. As a strong man, Uchiha Madara deserved respect, not to mention that he had helped her and was her soul mate. He must have been very hurt by what she had said just now.

Sakura always corrected her mistakes, bit her lip, and apologized sincerely. "I'm sorry, Master Madara, I was wrong for speaking without restraint. You are right, I shouldn't disrespect you, please don't be angry or unhappy."

Looking down at Sakura who was looking at him guiltily, Madara's bad mood improved a little. At least this little girl was not ungrateful and knew to consider his feelings. Although Madara reflected on himself that he should not have forgotten his plan, he did not continue to argue with Sakura. He snorted arrogantly.

"Well, it's good that you know it. I will accept your apology generously."

Sakura clenched her fists patiently, suppressing the urge to yell at him, but in the end she couldn't help herself and complained, "Madara-sama, do you know that your attitude is sometimes unbearable and makes people not want to respect you?"

Madara said arrogantly. "What's wrong with my attitude? I have a very good attitude and I don't care about your previous rudeness and disrespect."

Sakura was speechless and didn't want to waste any more time talking to Madara. She just thought that the word "sir" after Madara was just a suffix. Don't expect to get the same sincere respect as Lord Tobirama, humph!

Sakura gave a fake smile. "As long as you are happy, Madara-sama."

Izuna chuckled. Brother Madara could be a little too arrogant and lacking in emotional intelligence sometimes, but it was also very interesting to watch Sakura coaxing Madara.

Minato and Hashirama were already used to Madara's tsundere and arrogance, but Tobirama was just unhappy that Sakura's attention was once again being drawn away by Madara.

"Hmm." Kakashi coughed at this time, and after drawing Sakura's attention back, he smiled and invited her again. "Sakura, then, would you like to go out to dinner with me?"

"Okay, I want to go to the most expensive restaurant!" Yingye immediately responded positively and blackmailed openly.

Kakashi agreed without hesitation. "No problem, Sakura. Dress nicely. The teacher will pick you up at 7pm."

"Okay, teacher, see you tonight!" Sakura smiled sweetly and saw Kakashi off.

As expected, Sakura changed into a beautiful outfit that night, a red Lolita-style miniskirt with black lace. The five spirits behind her and Kakashi saw her and praised Sakura in person for being cute, pretty, youthful, lively and pretty. However, the three men who had had a spiritual connection with her were secretly agitated and distracted in their hearts, which was unknown to others.

Although she didn't know if this could be considered a date, Sakura went there with the intention of seeing the world and having a good meal, so after taking in the atmosphere of Konoha's most expensive restaurant, she immersed herself in the delicious food.

Sakura enjoyed her meal very much, except that she had to ignore Kakashi's occasional attempts to tempt her to go out and play and the various nagging in her ears.

"Sakura, do you like it here? Can the teacher bring you here next time? Or shall we go somewhere else to play?" This is Kakashi laying the bait.

"I'll go if the teacher treats me." Ying nodded. She would never refuse free food and fun.

"Sakura-chan, don't be tempted by sugar-coated bullets." This was Hashirama's worried voice.

"It's not appropriate to go out with the teacher all the time. After all, you are a single man and a single woman. Remember to avoid suspicion." This was Tobirama's disapproving objection.

"Yakura, when I become visible later, I will take you out to play." This was Izuna's promise, not to be outdone.

"Hmph, go back quickly after eating." This was Boss Madara's unhappy suggestion.

"The mission in Wave Country is so tiring, Sakura should relax a little. Let her have fun when she wants to play." This is the gentle Minato.

Transition Chapter

Chapter 20 : chapter 20

Chapter Text

After the mission in Wave Land, Team 7 really had a peaceful time. Their daily routine once again turned into endless D-level missions. Fortunately, this time, Kakashi seemed to have finally awakened the soul of a teacher. He no longer just let the three of them do whatever they wanted like raising a cat or a dog, but put the training of ninjutsu on the agenda seriously.

After listening to Kakashi's theory on how to use chakra test paper to test each person's chakra attributes, Naruto couldn't wait to grab a test paper, and while transferring chakra into it, he asked excitedly and puzzledly.

"Kakashi sensei, why are you so willing to teach us ninjutsu this time? Didn't you always say that it's not time for us to learn those advanced ninjutsu?"

Sasuke took a piece of paper and tested it, looking at Kakashi suspiciously. This was indeed unlike the usual behavior of their lazy and irresponsible teacher.

Kakashi touched the back of his neck and smiled bitterly. "Well, don't be so surprised. I have been considering your training plan carefully. I did think it was too early for you to learn ninjutsu before, but you performed very well in the Wave Country mission. You are fully capable of going to the next step of training."

Although this was actually just a superficial statement to fool Sasuke and Naruto, Kakashi did want to delay for a while to let Sakura and the others grow physically and mentally before teaching them ninjutsu, so that they could face those dangerous missions involving life and death tests later.

But the Sandaime couldn't wait any longer. Kakashi had not planned to let Team 7 take part in the upcoming Chunin Exam. However, the Sandaime repeatedly sighed in front of him, saying that Konoha was in a period of transition and needed some new blood to shine in this Chunin Exam and prove to the countries around the world and other ninja villages that Konoha still had the top combat power to surpass the five major countries.

Kakashi also knew about this. Although he understood the Sandaime's worries, after all, he really couldn't let people see Konoha's weakness. But sometimes he would sneer in his heart, what had he done before! In the past twenty years, weren't the Konoha high-level officials constantly cutting off their own arms?

Not to mention that the three ninjas left Konoha one after another, his father, Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo, died unjustly. He did not die at the hands of outsiders, but died in internal strife. Isn't it heartbreaking?

Then, the top leaders deliberately marginalized the Uchiha clan, intensifying the conflict between the two sides, which eventually led to the lack of combat power of Konoha during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, causing his teacher, the Fourth Hokage, to die heroically.

Not long after that, the Uchiha clan was annihilated. As the most powerful family in Konoha, the annihilation of the Uchiha clan probably made other ninja villages laugh out loud, and they were so happy that they wanted to drink a glass of wine to celebrate.

This is still a big event. Over the years, because of the Sandaime's weak appeasement policy towards the outside world, even more people have been lost, such as Hyuga Hizashi of the Hyuga branch. Isn't this a major loss to Konoha's strength?

There is almost no one left to do the work now, and the Sandaime is getting anxious, so he has set his sights on Sakura's generation. Kakashi's passive resistance can't stop the Sandaime's determination. Since taking part in the Chunin Exam is an irresistible political task, Kakashi can only take it seriously, at least not let his students become cannon fodder in this political show of maneuver.

Moreover, Kakashi glanced at Sakura, who was holding a piece of test paper and showing her chakra attribute results with ease. Half of the paper was wet and the other half was completely shredded, but there was no surprise on her face. Obviously, even without him, Minato and the others had already started teaching Sakura.

After determining the attributes of Naruto and Sasuke, Kakashi explained to them some basic wind and lightning ninjutsu. After demonstrating one or two ninjutsu, he let them practice on their own.

Then, he took Sakura to a secluded place and set up a barrier to prevent peeping and eavesdropping. Kakashi was going to ask Sakura about her current learning progress. Then, he saw Sakura's face full of enlightenment, and Kakashi had an idea and asked.

"Ying, can you understand what barrier I have set?"

Sakura nodded. "Kakashi sensei, this is a barrier to prevent outsiders from snooping and eavesdropping, right? Tobirama-sama and the Yondaime-sama taught me, and now I can also set up this barrier~"

After all, she was given private study sessions by her five soul mates every night, and if she wanted to avoid being discovered and suddenly disturbed by her parents, this had to be the first thing she needed to learn.

The pink-haired girl's tone was slightly proud and boastful, and she smiled sweetly towards the empty space next to her. Kakashi's sense of crisis was immediately increased again.

The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. No matter how close he is as a teacher, it is impossible for him to follow his student 24 hours a day. But Minato and the other five spirits behind Sakura can follow Sakura closely 24 hours a day, so it is definitely much easier for them to cultivate feelings than for him. Now they are tempting Sakura with learning and becoming stronger. It seems that his position as a teacher is about to be lost, Kakashi asked tentatively with a twitching mouth.

"Sakura, can you tell me what else the Nidaime and Minato-sensei taught you?"

"That's a lot." Sakura counted them on her fingers. "Tobirama-sama and the Yondaime taught me sealing techniques and code deciphering, Tobirama-sama also taught me water-based ninjutsu, the Shodaime-sama taught me earth-based ninjutsu, Madara-sama and Izuna-san also taught me physical techniques. Although I can't actually practice them now, they're basically just demonstrations and theoretical teachings, but I understand a lot."

At this point, Sakura put her hands on her hips and glanced at Kakashi. "It's much better than that teacher who only knows how to slack off."

"Ahaha, really? Teacher, I'm going to teach you too." Kakashi frowned and smiled beggingly.

"Hmph, isn't this as it should be? You still have the nerve to talk about it after dragging it on until now." Tobirama crossed his arms and snorted coldly.

Izuna also rolled her eyes. "By the time Kakashi wants to teach me, it will be too late."

Of course, Izuna was not confident in Kakashi's teachings. After all, her soul mate still needed her attention.

Minato smiled. "Kakashi has finally taken on the responsibility of a teacher, but there are benefits to us teaching Sakura, at least it can improve our compatibility."

Izuna smiled as she recalled how the chakra connection between her and Sakura was becoming more and more stable and longer. "Yeah, I think with a few more times, Sakura and I can officially meet."

Minato and Izuna were both frank when talking about the improvement of compatibility and chakra connection, but the spirits behind the three divine connections seemed a little unnaturally distracted.

Tobirama's expression paused for a moment, and after connecting with Sakura's chakra again, he understood what Madara had said about being uncivilized and indecent, it was pure teasing and flirting, Tobirama couldn't help enjoying it, his mind was full of increasingly worse obscene thoughts, and he felt guilty and self-blame, but he couldn't show all these struggles, he couldn't let Sakura misunderstand that he hated her, nor could he directly expose the facts and make Sakura and them more embarrassed, so for now Tobirama could only be in pain and happy in secret.

A lingering and slightly unsatisfied smile appeared on Hashirama's face. He was increasingly looking forward to having spiritual communication with Sakura again. After all, the teasing of chakra link was just a drop in the bucket for him. It was not enough to fill the gap between his teeth and would only make Hashirama more and more unsatisfied.

After Madara let go of his psychological burden and stopped struggling, he adapted well to the chakra connections he had made in the past few times. He was just annoyed by the fact that Sakura was the little girl who only set fires but didn't put them out. But every time he saw Sakura's innocent face as if she had no idea what she had done, Madara could only endure the internal injuries. However, the fact that he was neither going up nor down made him feel like he could no longer bear it.

Sakura naturally didn't know that she was almost going crazy because of the three men. After hearing what Izuna and Minato said, she clenched her fists and said with a look of excitement. "Don't worry, I will try my best to connect with you more!"

Don't try so hard. Madara and Tobirama's faces turned a little green. If they keep trying, don't blame them for losing their bestiality one day. Hashirama was secretly looking forward to it.

Kakashi watched Sakura communicating as if no one was around, and he realized that he couldn't fall behind, otherwise she would no longer see him as her soul mate. Kakashi showed his true ability and began teaching seriously, and Sakura soon focused her attention on Kakashi again.

Kakashi was glad at this time that he was a living person with a physical body. After all, the undead could not interfere with reality, and nothing could compare to his personal teaching. After teaching ninjutsu, Kakashi also began teaching physical combat.

He dealt with Sakura's attacks with ease while also observing her every move.

The sweat pouring off the young girl's body, the way her legs' taut muscles moved, the fierce, focused look on her pretty face, the small chest that rose and fell with her breathing as she moved vigorously, all fascinated and distracted Kakashi.

After another round of staggered attacks, Kakashi pinned Sakura under him with one hand. The little girl didn't realize anything was wrong and struggled hard to break free from Kakashi's restraints, but the strength of an adult man was obviously not something a 12-year-old girl could escape, not to mention that Sakura was facing an elite jonin.

After realizing that she was just wasting her time, Sakura finally gave up and rolled her eyes at Kakashi. "Okay, Kakashi sensei, I give up, let me go."

Kakashi smiled and looked down at Sakura. "Are you giving up so soon? Are you not going to continue struggling?"

He quite liked the way Sakura continued to struggle, her twisting body rubbing against his, allowing him to passively feel more.

Sakura's legs were slightly apart, and Kakashi lowered his lower body. Sakura immediately felt something hard against her lower body. She looked at Kakashi suspiciously.

"Kakashi sensei, what's that thing of yours that made me so hard? Why is it the same as last time with the Shodaime-sama?"

As soon as these words came out, Kakashi and the five spirits behind him all looked gloomy.

Kakashi gritted his teeth, his tone dangerous and low. "When did the Shodaime-sama make you feel hard and panic? Isn't he incorporeal?"

Sakura answered confusedly. "It's just the last time you possessed me. What's wrong? Kakashi sensei, are you angry? Why? So, what is that hard thing?"

She felt that Kakashi was being mysterious, so she might as well go and find out the truth herself. Sakura reached out to touch the hard thing that made her curious to see what it was.

Kakashi was startled and immediately jumped up and moved away from Sakura. His mind was in a mess and he didn't know whether he should explain it clearly or hide it. If he explained it clearly, although Sakura knew that the Shodaime was a pervert, she also knew that she was a pervert. Was this a move to strike them both out?

If I don't explain, if Sakura is taken advantage of again in the future, wouldn't it be a good thing for the first generation, this disrespectful old pervert?

Kakashi was angry and conflicted, but the other spirits behind him were also greatly impacted.

Minato and Izuna, who are currently very innocent, feel like they have been struck by lightning.

Minato was shocked and confused. What did Sakura say? What had he encountered? He looked back and forth between Hashirama and Kakashi, not knowing which one made him feel more horrified. They were simply two perverts. When did they become so depraved?

Izuna's face was gloomy, and he drew his sword and slashed at Hashirama. "Senju Hashirama! Hatake Kakashi! I'm going to castrate both of you!"

Although Hashirama dared to do it, his face still blushed when he was exposed. He dodged nimbly while trying to make excuses and shift the blame.

"Izuna, I didn't mean it. There's a reason for this. You'll know it later, right? Madara, Tobirama, talk to each other!"

Madara and Tobirama's faces turned even darker. Although it was a bit of a case of the pot calling the kettle black, they were not as shameless as Hashirama, and they both denied it at the same time.

"I didn't! Don't talk nonsense, brother!" Tobirama was angry and embarrassed.

Madara snorted. "Who is like you, Hashirama? You are shameless yourself, don't drag me into this."

"You are so cunning." Hashirama pouted when he saw his younger brother and best friend shamelessly pushing the blame, and he continued to yell at Izuna.

"Besides, isn't Kakashi even more excessive? I have my reasons, but he doesn't. Izuna, you should go find Kakashi first."

Izuna gritted her teeth. "None of you can escape! Hashirama, I'll start with you! When I reveal myself, Kakashi will have his day too!"

Sakura looked at Hashirama and Izuna, who were fighting in a mess, and Kakashi, whose face was red and blue, and her suspicions grew stronger. She always felt that she had suffered some kind of loss that she didn't know about. Sakura looked at Madara, then at Tobirama, and asked in doubt.

"Madara-sama, Tobirama-sama, what are you talking about?"

Madara and Tobirama coughed violently at the same time, as if they had suddenly contracted some terminal illness. They seemed unable to speak except coughing.

Sakura felt even more strange now. She could only look at Minato who was shrouded in a hazy green light. "Yondaime-sama?"

Minato blushed. Why was he always in such an embarrassing situation? After thinking for a while, Minato reminded him subtly. "Sakura, have you ever taken a physiology class?"

"Physiology class? Yes, there is, but I skipped some classes." After a pause, Sakura replied.

She remembered that the classes were separated for boys and girls. After learning the female physiology course, Ino directly dropped out of the subsequent male course. Hinata didn't attend either. Ino also took Sakura away and told her that she didn't need to learn these things.

What Sakura didn't know was that it was more of a seduction class than a male physiology class. These courses were compulsory for children who were not from a clan, but they could be skipped for children from a clan, because their bloodline limits needed to be protected, so they would not do seduction missions.

Minato was also relieved that Sakura had never taken this course. It was the most difficult for female ninjas who were born as civilians, and he didn't want his soul mate to face such a dirty task one day. But now, Sakura didn't understand, so Minato naturally wouldn't let her take these courses again, as there were too many unnecessary things in them. He gave gentle suggestions and even brought up Sakura's career plan, which he had been thinking about for a long time.

"Sakura might want to look into human medicine or something. In fact, I think that with your chakra control, Sakura can pursue a career as a medical ninja. Reading the book now can also help you confirm whether you are interested in this area and whether it is worth further study in the future."

Minato's pertinent and thoughtful words made Sakura bow gratefully and thank him with a smile, "Thank you for your advice, Fourth-daime-sama, I will go and have a look."

Among the five back spirits, the presence of the Fourth Generation is not active and prominent, but his gentleness, which is as subtle as rain on the ground, always makes Sakura feel unusually comfortable.

Madara and Tobirama seemed to have suddenly recovered from their illness and finally stopped coughing. They looked at Minato and acquiesced to his suggestion. Izuna couldn't hit the slippery Hashirama, so she came back angrily. Hashirama followed her back stealthily and rubbed against her.

Kakashi couldn't hear what Minato said, so he asked Sakura and learned about his teacher's advice. He coughed and felt a little embarrassed and ashamed. He announced that today's training was over. After disbanding on the spot, Kakashi fled.

Sakura really went to the library to check. As for Sakura who studied hard, except Izuna and Minato who had a clear conscience and no pressure, Hashirama, Tobirama and Madara all felt a little guilty. They watched in fear as Sakura's brows furrowed higher and higher and her face became redder and redder. Finally, she suddenly put down the book, held her face and screamed.

"Ah! Perverts! Shodaime-sama, Kakashi sensei, you are big perverts!"

Hashirama suddenly panicked, "Let me explain, Sakura-chan."

Sakura looked at the Shodaime in horror and screamed again. "Ah!"

She couldn't accept it at all. It turned out that the hard thing was actually a man's erect penis. In other words, the Shodaime-sama and Kakashi sensei had erections in front of her! Did they want to have sex with her?

Also, the unusually comfortable feeling she felt every time she possessed him was very similar to the feeling she had when the Shodaime-sama rubbed his genitals against her, so was this sexual pleasure? Then, did the Shodaime-sama, Tobirama-sama, and Madara also feel sexual pleasure when they possessed her?

Sakura's brain was about to explode. She felt like she was going to die, dying of shame and anger. Did she do something shameful with three men? No, they didn't actually penetrate her, so it didn't count. Thinking of the sexual intercourse demonstration she had just seen in the book, Sakura felt like rolling her eyes again.

She had no idea how to face the five ghosts behind her and could only scream again and again, causing Hashirama to become more and more panicked. Tobirama and Madara had stiff faces, Minato was worried, and Izuna was angry at Hashirama while trying hard to comfort Sakura.

Sakura's crazy scream attracted the librarian, who scolded her and kicked her out. Sakura didn't have time to argue with the librarian. She walked on the road in a daze. She was shocked by the news she had just received.

The young girl currently has no idea about sex. Her naive love for Sasuke is limited to pure lip kisses, without even putting her tongue inside. As for her boastful words about having a baby with Sasuke, it is just a concept. As for the specific operation of having a baby, she has no idea about it.

As a result, now she is told that she has had ambiguous relationships with three men? She is not pure! Is she cheating on Sasuke? But she has no idea, it is not her fault, and it was the Shodaime-sama and Kakashi sensei who were perverted first.

Sakura had a look of devastation on her face and was still mumbling about Sasuke, which made the guilty Madara immediately unhappy. Tobirama was also in a bad mood, and Hashirama was sour and jealous, but given the embarrassing situation, the three of them wisely did not say anything.

Izuna and Minato also felt something was wrong. Sakura's reaction was not right. If she had only discovered that Hashirama was erectile towards her, then she would have been angry at Hashirama alone. But now she seemed unable to face all of them. Or was she frightened by Hashirama, so she also had a psychological trauma towards men? Then they were wronged.

Izuna tried to cheer Sakura up. "Sakura, if you're angry, I'll help you beat up Hashirama!"

Sakura looked at Izuna in a dilemma, not knowing whether she should tell her the truth. But just like Madara, Tobirama and Hashirama had chosen to conceal the truth, Sakura could not tell Izuna and Minato the truth about the possession. She could only make up her mind secretly that she would never let anyone possess her again. In this way, Izuna and Minato would never know what had happened. As for Madara, Lord Tobirama and the Shodaime, well, let everyone be mature and decent people and keep silent. She would also forgive the Shodaime as long as there was no next time.

But the next moment, Riying's hesitant words made Ying feel like she was struck by lightning.

[Well, I just discovered that the improvement of our compatibility with them is actually in the sexual relationship. The more intimate, the better the compatibility. This may be because they are soul mates with us.]

What the hell is this! Sakura screamed in her heart. Izuna and Minato had been looking forward to returning to reality. Now she was told that even if they were not possessed, they had to have sex to make them appear. It would be better to kill her. She could not tell the truth at all. But if she broke her promise and violated the promise she made to try her best to make everyone appear, she could not afford to lose face! Oh my God, what should she do?

Sakura's soul flew out of her mouth and walked towards home like a wandering soul. In the next few days, she hardly looked at Hashirama, Madara and Tobirama. She was evasive in her words and resisted in her attitude towards Izuna and Minato, which made the two people who were unaware of the situation even more worried. Izuna was so anxious that she beat Hashirama several times.

As for Kakashi, Sakura was even more unhappy. It was all Kakashi sensei's fault. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have discovered the truth so quickly. Sakura took out all her resentment on Kakashi, and she fired at Kakashi every day as if she had eaten dynamite.

Kakashi felt guilty and did not realize that there was something else mixed in Sakura's anger. He was willing to endure all kinds of verbal and physical attacks from the little girl. He also did not forget to offer various snacks to please her every day. Sakura accepted them all, although she still did not treat Kakashi well.

After a week of awkwardness, the Chunin Exam came as scheduled, and Kakashi finally told the three that they would also take part in the Chunin Exam. Naruto and Sasuke had no problem with it and were even eager to try. Sakura was stunned for a moment, but also accepted it well. Although she had a quarrel with Kakashi and Hashirama, she did not fall behind in her studies. She felt that she had become much stronger, and this was a good opportunity to verify her strength through the Chunin Exam.

It was still too much. Ying finally figured out what happened to her. From now on, these men who were behind her don't have to be sneaky anymore and can eat meat openly .
