Traveling through Naruto: I am Haruno Sakura

Chapter 259: The Experience of Lai Country

Perhaps only a few big countries are relatively peaceful, while the surrounding small countries are constantly at war, which can be said to be extremely turbulent.

Therefore, all the capable jonin in the village were sent out to perform the mission, some of the stronger chuunin formed teams to provide protection, and even the genin in the village were sent out.

And because Sakura has not been assigned any tasks recently, the chores in the village fell to Sakura. The high-intensity physical work also greatly improved Sakura's physical fitness.

Looking at the newly tidy Hokage statue, Sakura was very satisfied, "Not bad, there is a lot less dust, it looks very bright..."

"Sakura!"

"Ah? It's Sister Shizune? Is there an urgent mission?" Sakura looked at Shizune and Shikamaru who came in a hurry. How serious would the matter have to be for her to be mobilized?

"We'll talk about the reason on the way. Now please cooperate with us and go to the Kingdom of Lai immediately."

Listening to Shizune's explanation on the way, Sakura quickly figured out what was going on. That is to say, the confidants of the Daimyo of Rai Country and the rebellious ninjas conspired to launch a rebellion. In order to take Rai Country back from the rebels as soon as possible, if left unattended the war would spread to other countries. Therefore, they gathered all the free people in the village and headed to Rai Country immediately.

But Sakura seems to remember the caravan escort mission in Rai Country this time. It seems to be Naruto, Hinata and Choji, right?

After all, Lady Tsunade's team mission is different from that of the Third Hokage. The team formed by the Third Hokage was carefully put together after referring to various indicators, and the subsequent missions were also carried out in the form of fixed teams.

Lady Tsunade adopts random combination in this regard, trying to make everyone form a team with other people to improve the compatibility between team members, in order to reduce the completion rate of the task due to the fixed team members not being in the same team.

After going through various team combinations, these three people were finally put together. The main reason is that these three people are fine with other members, but it is a bit difficult to deal with them when they are combined together.

Naruto is passionate but lacks a bit of brains (after all, he is an old partner);

Hinata's less self-centered view would be more inclined to Naruto's choice (as can be seen from the last four-person mission, but the reason should be because Hinata likes Naruto, right?);

Choji... ...is actually fine;

However, for this trio, the decision-making power basically lies with Naruto. No wonder Lady Tsunade only arranged a D-level mission such as escorting a caravan at the beginning.

However, the timing of this coup is too close to the time of escorting the caravan, so I'm afraid it's more than D-level. But I hope Naruto can hold on. After all, their first task is to save the Daimyo of Rai Country.

Even though the three of them rode at full speed towards the Kingdom of Lai, what they saw was still the corpse of the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Lai. Shizune had no time to be sad. The most important thing now was to protect Princess Chunlai. After all, the neighboring countries had already announced that the next Daimyo would be named Princess Chunlai.

But according to the daimyo's confidant, Princess Chunlai had sneaked into the caravan, but the rebel ninjas had already set out to intercept them, and they also realized the seriousness of the problem.

The few of them walked non-stop along the route of their caravan, taking many shortcuts. Finally, after passing through a forest, they saw Princess Chunlai, Naruto and one of the rebel ninjas on the vast grassland.

The rebel ninja fell to the ground, laughing wildly, "You actually defeated me? But boy, it's too late for you to defeat me now. Without the daimyo, the country of Rai will perish in the territorial disputes between the big countries!"

A few of them landed behind Naruto, Shizune studying the traitorous ninja, "I'm sorry, but that won't happen."

For some reason, looking at Naruto's surprised expression, Sakura felt like laughing, "Shizune-sister... Sakura!"

Shikamaru stepped out from behind Shizune just in time, "It's troublesome, but we're here to pick you up."

Listening to Shikamaru's words, Naruto showed a disdainful expression, "Shikamaru? After all, I didn't ask you to pick me up..."

Sakura glanced at Naruto and said, "You sound tough, but seeing how you are covered in bruises, it's hard to say."

Naruto looked at himself, then at Sakura. If Shikamaru had said this, he would have definitely said it back, "This...Huh? Everyone is okay! That's great. By the way, Shizune-sister, Sakura, and Shikamaru, why are you here?"

Shizune explained, "We received news of an armed coup in the Kingdom of Rai, and Lady Tsunade personally ordered me to come here, because Lady Tsunade and I have received a lot of care from Princess Chunlai's father." She looked at Princess Chunlai with a little apology in her expression, "Please forgive us, when we arrived, your father had already..."

Looking at that proud face holding back tears, Xiaoying also felt sorry for it. Is this Princess Chunlai? Even after such a change, her voice was still cold and clear, "Is that so... ...Thank you for your help."

The rebel ninja lay on the ground, full of resignation, "Damn it, the throne of the daimyo that I finally got."

Regarding the death of the Daimyo, Naruto looked at Sakura worriedly, "Will the surrounding countries not stand idly by?"

Sakura consoled him, "Don't worry, the neighboring kingdoms have already announced that the next daimyo will be named Princess Chunlai."

Hearing Sakura's words, Naruto looked at the princess excitedly, "Then you don't have to worry about being attacked again, Chunlai... Chunlai..."

Princess Chunlai took out a kunai, angrily looked at the rebel ninja, and then stabbed it down with all her might, but it was a little off the mark, "I am different from you!"

Then Princess Chunlai turned around and threw herself into Naruto's arms, her tears falling like pearls from a broken string.

Sakura looked in Hinata's direction. Damn it. Wasn't her home... robbed?

Afterwards, Chunlai changed into the princess's clothes and went with Yurikuni to pay tribute to the daimyo and Kikunojo who died in battle to protect Princess Chunlai.

Now that the matter has come to an end, Shizune stepped forward and said, "Then Princess Chunlai, we will take our leave now."

Yuri no Jou looked at the people who were escorting him this time, "Thank you, Naruto, Choji, Hinata."

Princess Chunlai beside him took a step forward and said, "Jingyin, I have a request."

Could it be what I thought? Then I heard Sister Jingyin ask, "What's the matter? Princess Chunlai?"

Princess Chunlai said, "It is my duty to inherit my father's legacy and protect the Kingdom of Lai. In order to fulfill this responsibility, I want to borrow someone from the Konoha Ninja Village..."

Jingyin was also stunned for a moment, "Borrow someone?" This kind of talk had never been heard before.

Princess Chunrai nodded and walked up to Naruto, "I would like you to help me revive the Kingdom of Rai."

Sakura pulled Shikamaru beside her and said, "The spectators must be present!" Shikamaru followed Sakura's gaze and saw Hinata?

Looking at Hinata's nervous expression, Shikamaru had some guesses, but since she didn't say anything along the way, he thought this guy was angry, but it seems that he was overthinking?

Naruto also directly rejected Princess Chunlai's olive branch, "I'm sorry, I can't promise you, I have to go back to my companions, I have to work harder to practice and become stronger, there is one thing I have to do! For my important companions!"

Princess Chunlai changed from being sad at the beginning to being relieved. "Then it is not convenient for me to keep you, Naruto. I promise you that I will work towards my father's ideal of building a peaceful country without sacrificing others for survival!"

In this way, several people set out on the road back to the village together.
