Wok Shadow Ninja

Chapter 29: The Unbreakable Bond

Sakura said: "At that time, I said you were a beautiful cosmos, and I was just an ordinary boneset. But you said that I was not a flower yet, and it was more appropriate to say that I was a flower bud. Do you still remember these words?"

"I remember."

Sakura took out a red ribbon: "You said it would be a pity if this flower bud of mine withered prematurely, so you gave me your ribbon. You said that I would bloom into a more beautiful flower than a cosmos."

Ino nodded, the original owner did say this, now that she thinks about it, she feels that the scene is somewhat yuri. She remembered that Sakura's face was red at that time?

"Ino, I have always believed what you said to me at that time, and I have believed it until today... If only it were true, if only I could bloom into a beautiful flower, I have always wanted to be like you, I have reached today with you as my goal... Thanks to you, I can stand here."

Sakura's tone became more and more firm, she stretched out her arm and handed the red ribbon to Ino: "I know it's a bit ridiculous for me to say this now, but I still want to say, I will never lose to Ino again! If I want everything to be meaningful, then I must surpass you! Ino, this ribbon... I'll return it to you!"

Ino looked at the ribbon in Sakura's hand, this ribbon symbolizes the friendship between the two, and all kinds of messy things.

She sighed softly, although she didn't know how long Sakura's enthusiasm could last, facing Sakura's determined eyes, she still reached out and took the ribbon.

After Sakura finished speaking her mind, she turned to leave.

Ino stopped her: "Wait, wait for me, don't go, I'll be right back."

Five minutes later, Ino came back, she motioned for Sakura to kneel down.

Sakura was instantly angry, what are you going to do?!

"Half-kneeling is fine, there must be some sense of ritual, forget it, forget it, you can squat too."

Not knowing what she was going to do, Sakura squatted down hesitantly.

Seeing that the height was about the same, Ino put a straw hat on Sakura's head with lightning speed.

"Is it over just by returning the ribbon? Don't be kidding! You can't break the bond between you and me with just a few words, wide forehead, this is my favorite straw hat, remember what you said today, when you reach the peak of your life, return it to me when you surpass me!"

Ino put her right index and middle fingers together and poked Sakura's forehead: "You seemed to want to have a duel with me from your expression just now? You are far behind, next time!"

With a pleasant laughter, Ino left the garden with light steps, leaving only Sakura with a dumbfounded face.

Sakura first rubbed her forehead, this poke was quite hard, she inexplicably felt a little familiar, who poked her before? ...

She belatedly discovered the straw hat on her head, and then felt something unusual inside, turned the straw hat over, and unexpectedly found a scroll with the word "water" written on it inside.

Sakura opened the scroll, she recognized the handwriting this time, it was written by Ino herself. Looking closely at the content, she found that the scroll contained the method of developing water attribute chakra nature transformation, and at the end of the scroll, there were some of Ino's insights and experience.

"Ino, you..." Knowing that the scroll in her hand is definitely worth a lot of money to civilian ninjas, Sakura felt the complicated emotions in it, she was speechless for a long time, until ten minutes later, she finally broke out.

"Who gives a girl a straw hat! And it's a broken straw hat! Damn Ino-pig! I'm so mad!"

Although she said it was a broken straw hat, she still put it away solemnly. She wants to prove herself and surpass this guy, and then return the straw hat to her according to the agreement!

Ino left alone, observing the surroundings all the way, wanting to see if there was any chance to make trouble and earn pot points. When passing by a shade of trees, she stopped abruptly.

A young man was standing in the shadow of the trees, and he bowed to her when he saw her.

"Miss."

"Brother Fu." Ino didn't put on the airs of the main family, and nodded politely in return.

The person who came was the ninja of Root, the deputy of Konoha's advisor Shimura Danzo, Yamanaka Fu.

Looking at the surname, you can tell that this is a member of the Yamanaka clan.

Yamanaka Fu is nine years older than Ino. According to inoichi, Yamanaka Fu has the strength of a Jonin. Danzo's other deputy, Aburame Torune, has a low sense of presence. Yamanaka Fu is the second-in-command in Root, second only to Danzo, a typical person with real power.

"Miss's battle with Uchiha Sasuke was very exciting. Lord Danzo is very satisfied. This is a reward for you." Yamanaka Fu was concise and to the point, and handed Ino a scroll with the word "wind" written on it after explaining his purpose.

This time, Ino didn't pretend to be a newbie, but said in a very formal tone: "Thank Lord Danzo for me, my father always told me that only Lord Danzo will lead everyone to make Konoha great again."

Kakashi at the age of twelve is already a Jonin, it's not surprising that Ino is saying some more mature words in this world full of killings.

The two are ten years apart in age, and the gap in strength is even greater. There is nothing to say except for official business. Yamanaka Fu nodded lightly and disappeared directly into the shade of the trees.

Ino didn't go to make trouble, she turned a corner and went home.

Someone just gave you a study scroll, and you go for a walk without even looking at it? Not being able to learn is a matter of comprehension, but not learning is a matter of attitude. When Ino's strength is weak, her respect for Danzo must be shown.

Back home, Yamanaka Rino was cooking, Ino greeted her and went back to her room.

In the room, she opened the scroll given by Danzo. As expected, it was a study scroll for wind attribute chakra nature transformation.

Looking at the handwriting, it should be some insights written by Danzo himself.

Danzo's move to seal the bridge was indeed very stupid, but that was mainly because he had never used the Four Symbols Seal. This kind of one-off move, he has no experience in using it, he didn't know that the skill's pre-cast was so long, and he didn't expect that Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Sasuke's Mangekyou are all super cheats, and they were easily dodged by a back jump, and the bridge sealing became a big joke in the end.

Actually, Danzo's strength is not weak, his wind style ninjutsu can cut open Susanoo, he is a proper Kage-level powerhouse.

The Yamanaka family has collected a lot of ninjutsu scrolls and study scrolls, but Kage-level powerhouses will not be captured by Konoha Village. For the same development of chakra nature transformation, Kage-level powerhouses and Jonin have different ways of thinking and perspectives.

This scroll sent by Danzo is very precious to Ino.

However, she has no intention of developing wind attribute chakra for the time being. Apart from water attribute chakra, she has a higher affinity for earth attribute chakra. It is a bit early for her to develop the second and third chakra attributes. She plans to continue to study water style in depth.
