Traveling through Naruto: I am Haruno Sakura

Chapter 364

After hearing what Kankuro said, Sakura couldn't help but let her tears fall.

The old man who had stopped Chiyo earlier looked at Chiyo lying in Sakura's arms and said, "I feel like you will do that again. Your expression is so relaxed, as if you will laugh at any time..."

Kakashi was silent for a long time, his eyes lowered. "Granny Chiyo entrusted the future to Gaara and you. As a ninja... it's an outstanding end to your life."

To Sakura, Chiyo is a very powerful ninja. Even though she is old, she still looks as powerful as she was when she was young. She even dragged her poisoned body here at the end... just like the Third Hokage at that time...

Sakura looked up at the two people in front of her who were extremely solemn. She felt dazed. Gaara's serious and low voice came to her ears, "Everyone, please pray for Grandma Chiyo."

Sakura looked at the sky that suddenly darkened, looked at the person in her arms, and closed her eyes sadly.

For ninjas, although this is normal, they still feel sad when facing it.

After praying sincerely, we will say goodbye forever.

Granny Chiyo was wrapped in a special breathable cloth bag and placed on a stretcher, carried by four Sand Ninjas; Gaara was carried by Kankuro and Naruto; Kakashi was supported by Gai. On the way back to the Sand Village from River Country, everyone tacitly did not speak.

When we were approaching the Sand Village, we could see that the three floors inside and outside the fortress outside the Sand Village were filled with people. The lineup was truly shocking.

Even though there was a distance between us, we could still hear people cheering.

This welcoming ceremony is really spectacular, with so many people...

But it is also true that Gaara risked his life for his apprentice, and even lost consciousness under Deidara's attack to move the explosive sand to the outside of the Great Wall... ...

It can be said that he did a very competent job as the Wind Shadow.

Looking at Gaara surrounded by the villagers of Sand Village, I felt that he deserved the title.

Maki walked forward and bowed to Gaara, "Welcome back safely."

Gaara nodded and looked at Maki seriously, "Well, thanks to everyone."

Maki then looked at Naruto, "Uzumaki Naruto, thank you."

Naruto felt embarrassed for this sincere thanks, "How could I... I couldn't help much..."

"Lord Kazekage, the people of the village are waiting for you."

After hearing Maki's words, the surrounding Sand Ninjas consciously dispersed to both sides and made way for a path.

Maki also leaned sideways, "Come on, please."

Kankuro looked at Gaara beside him and said, "Well, let's go."

"Wait, first of all..."

Gaara turned around and looked at the cloth bag on the stretcher without saying anything else.

Everyone understood what Gaara meant.

"Pray for Grandma Chiyo and pray silently."

Sakura and the old man stood on either side of the stretcher, escorting the Sand Ninjas carrying Grandma Chiyo back to the village.

"Sister, we are back..."

After they returned to the Sand Village, they simply washed and packed up, then changed into new clothes and prepared to return to the village.

If they wanted to say goodbye, they would naturally have to go to the Kazekage's office in the Sand Village, which prompted Kankuro and Temari to persuade them.

"Eh? Are you going back so soon? You can rest for two more days before going back."

"That's right, at least stay for another day. It's still not too late to take a short rest before leaving..."

Sakura looked at the two of them and smiled, "Because we have something to report to the Hokage-sama immediately."

Kakashi also chimed in, "Ah, and Akatsuki has already broken into the Sand Village, and they're also worried about the Leaf Village..."

Maki also understood the reason, "So you have to go back as soon as possible, right?"

"Yeah, that's it."

Maki glanced at Kakashi, who was half leaning on Kai, and said, "But, with your current body..." Are you sure you don't want to rest a little longer?

Kakashi naturally noticed Maki's gaze, and then glanced at Kai beside him, "Don't worry, there are trustworthy partners here..."

Kai was very willing at this moment, showing his big white teeth, "Well~ leave it to me!"

In this case, Maki did not try to persuade him to stay any longer and simply explained the situation. "By the way, I have already asked Yingwan to deliver the first letter. The letter did not mention the life or death of the two members of Akatsuki. Don't you need to send a letter to report it?"

Kakashi did not reveal too much about this, "We report directly to the Hokage, and there are other things that are of concern to us."
