After chatting for a while, the group arrived at Sasuke's room. When they opened the door, they saw Sakura replacing the flowers in a vase. Sakura came here every day to take care of Sasuke.
Turning to look at the doorway, Sakura, who had been puzzled, suddenly felt like crying when she saw Yoruha. "Y-Yoruha, you're finally back." It seemed like Sakura was about to burst into tears.
Yoruha said, "I heard about Sasuke's situation. Don't worry, Lady Tsunade will heal him." There was nothing else he could say. So many things had happened recently.
Sasuke had been in the hospital several times, and during this period, Yoruha had been away from Konoha, leaving everyone feeling as if they had lost their support, utterly helpless.
Especially Sakura, who was devastated seeing her beloved Sasuke like this, while the only person capable of changing the situation, Yoruha, was not in the village.
Sakura was quite strong now, but she was only at the level of a Chunin. Whether in front of Orochimaru or Itachi Uchiha, she was someone who could be taken down with a single jutsu.
With Kakashi and Sasuke both unconscious, and Naruto away from the village with Jiraiya, Yoruha had also left early on.
Left all alone, Sakura felt extremely helpless during this time. Seeing Yoruha now, she could no longer hold it together. She was about to cry.
After all, she was just a 12-year-old child. Among the group, she was the weakest.
When left alone, she felt like a lone boat in the ocean, terrified of the approaching storm. Tsunade looked at Sakura and then at the replaced flowers.
"This child comes every day." Tsunade's initial impression of Sakura was quite good. She could see that Sakura wasn't actually weak.
For a girl, especially one of her age, to have such strength indicated a decent level of talent.
Yoruha looked at Sasuke, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and said, "I estimate that once he's healed, his eyes will upgrade." Sakura walked over and stood next to Yoruha. After Yoruha's return, she felt a strong sense of security.
Even though she hadn't spent much time with Yoruha, his influence on the group was profound. It was as if Yoruha was their anchor. Standing next to him, her previous fears vanished.
Listening to Yoruha, Sakura remembered something. "Are you saying that Sasuke's Sharingan will evolve because of this ordeal?"
Yoruha nodded, "That's right. His eyes were already close to upgrading before, just lacking a trigger." "I wonder if Itachi Uchiha knows. If he does, that would be interesting."
Yoruha was mistaken on this point. Itachi really didn't know that Sasuke's Sharingan was close to evolving. Sasuke's performance that day had already amazed Itachi. He thought Sasuke had exceeded his expectations.
He couldn't have imagined that Sasuke's Sharingan could evolve further. In the original story, Sasuke did activate his three-tomoe Sharingan not long after. This was just a few months earlier.
Listening to Yoruha, Sakura was curious, "But Sasuke ended up like this because of him." Yoruha smiled, "He originally had the chance to kill Sasuke, didn't he?" Sakura was stunned and began to ponder.
Solution. With Uchiha Itachi's strength, after using genjutsu on Sasuke, Sasuke had no power to resist at all. Taking him down would have been as simple as a single strike. But why didn't he do it?
Tsunade and Jiraiya walked over and said, "There are indeed many doubts." Yoruha introduced, "You should be able to guess who these two are.
This is Tsunade-sama of the Sannin, who is about to become the Fifth Hokage." "You've met this one too."
After Sakura paid her respects, she looked at Tsunade with some admiration and said, "Tsunade-sama is my idol. As the pinnacle of female ninja, I've always aimed to be like Tsunade-sama."
In fact, it's not just Sakura; many female ninjas in Konoha Village consider Tsunade their idol. It's even fair to say that in the ninja world, Tsunade is very popular among female ninjas.
As Shikamaru's father said, Tsunade is the lone flower among the Sannin, her medical ninjutsu is the highest in the ninja world, her strength is Kage-level, and she is also very beautiful.
Plus, she's the granddaughter of the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama.
She embodies all the qualities of an idol. Not just among female ninjas, even male ninjas hold her in high regard. A strong and beautiful female ninja is admired by everyone, regardless of gender.
Tsunade looked at Sakura and smiled, "Do you come here every day to take care of Sasuke?" Sakura didn't quite understand what Tsunade meant but nodded honestly. Tsunade looked at Yoruha, "I thought this girl had something to do with you."
Yoruha rolled his eyes at her. Sakura was momentarily stunned, then she understood Tsunade's words and felt a bit embarrassed.
Jiraiya stood to the side, sighing, "Ah, youth is wonderful. It seems Naruto really likes this girl, but he doesn't stand a chance." Jiraiya could tell that Sakura truly liked Sasuke.
What Jiraiya didn't know was that Sasuke and Sakura had already confessed to each other.
They were genuinely a couple now. Naruto knew this, and although he still liked Sakura, he could only continue to like her from afar.
If Yoruha knew what Naruto was thinking, he would suggest that he focus on Hinata.
She is his true destiny. Tsunade approached Sasuke, placing her hands on his forehead. As she channeled chakra, she sensed the surging chakra within Sasuke.
Somewhat surprised, she remarked, "This child's chakra isn't much less than Naruto's, and it's very solid, even more so than Naruto's. Is this the Uchiha clan's talent? It's truly terrifying."
Sasuke's chakra astonished Tsunade. While treating Sasuke, she glanced at Yoruha standing nearby. "Your generation is really something. If Nawaki had Sasuke's strength back then, he wouldn't have died so tragically."
Tsunade sighed. Yoruha didn't know what to say for a moment. Sakura, on the other hand, was confused; she didn't know who Nawaki was.
Jiraiya advised, "Tsunade, it's all in the past. You should let it go." Tsunade nodded, "I know." Soon, Sasuke woke up.
As he opened his eyes, Sakura couldn't control herself and rushed to hug Sasuke, crying, "Sasuke, you're finally awake." Feeling the warmth in his arms, Sasuke, though still unclear about the situation, listened to Sakura's sobs. He patted her shoulder, "Sakura, don't cry."
When Sasuke looked at Yoruha standing nearby, he almost lost control of his emotions while comforting Sakura. He gritted his teeth, saying nothing, his gaze fixed on Yoruha.
During this time, not only Sakura, but Sasuke also felt the lack of a supporting pillar when Yoruha wasn't around.
They encountered many challenges, and without Yoruha's help, it was really difficult for them to handle things on their own.
Just as Sasuke was about to lose control and cry, instead of tears, three tomoe appeared in his eyes. Witnessing this, Yoruha was somewhat surprised, "So soon?"
