Chapter List: Naruto: Sakura Blizzard

XXX-----XXX-----XXX-----XXX

Outside the entrance to the ninja school, a large group of parents with their children were waiting. Today was the day when Konoha's ninja school opened. For most civilian families, being able to enter the ninja school was already an honor.

"Why haven't Sakura and Naruto arrived yet?!" Ino and her group gathered together, forming a small group. The parents who brought them here also gathered together, discussing recent events in Konoha.

"I don't know, but there's still some time before registration, so don't worry about them being late!"

Shikamaru yawned. He should be lying in the yard and sleeping on a day. Going to ninja school was really troublesome.

They didn't have to wait long. Soon, Sakura and Naruto appeared in their sight.

Naruto's appearance made the other parents around him instantly silent. Then they pulled their own children back, leaving a large empty space around Naruto in just a few seconds.

Their actions were not disguised at all, and their disgusted attitude was directly shown on their faces. Naruto's happy mood disappeared instantly, and he just lowered his head and walked forward in silence.

"Why did that kid come too?"

"Why did Third Hokage let that demon fox come to school?"

"Our children are going to school with him. It feels dangerous!"

"Will he hurt our children in a fit of anger?"

"That demon fox, we must not let our children get close to him!"

Whispers without much disguise reached Naruto's ears. Listening to the backbiting and the needle-like gazes behind him, Naruto's face was full of disappointment.

"Hey, don't be unhappy, Naruto. You're not a demon fox. Let them chew their tongues. Even if they hate you, don't you still have us, your friends!"

Sakura held Naruto's hand and said with some heartache. Did these Konoha villagers who spoke ill of him behind his back ever think that the one who would save the entire ninja world in the future was the demon fox in front of them? He was the one who should have been the most likely to turn evil, but in the end, he saved the whole world. In a way, it was really ironic.

"Sakura, thank you for not despising me as a demon fox!" Naruto wiped his eyes with his other hand and smiled again. Sakura was right. He still had many friends who cared about him.

"I've said it many times. You're not a demon fox. You're the hero who saved Konoha!" Sakura said seriously. All Jinchuriki in all ninja villages were called demons and were hated, despised, and resented by villagers. But in fact, Jinchuriki used their bodies as containers to seal Tailed Beasts. In a way, they were all heroes who saved the ninja villages.

The two of them walked unimpeded to Ino and her group. Wherever they went, the villagers retreated as if deliberately making way for them. Finally, Sakura had the illusion that she was like an emperor, and the common people were all giving way to her.

"Ino, why didn't Uncle Haruno and Aunt Mebuki come with you?"

Ino asked strangely. For such a big event as the opening of the ninja school, except for orphans, parents would come to see it, right?

"The business in the capital of the Land of Fire is so busy that they can't spare the time to come back!"

Sakura covered her face. Originally, the reason for having her parents and Uncle Teuchi cooperate was just to improve their lives. But unexpectedly, after her golden finger arrived, her parents' financial luck also began to flourish. In the past year, the two of them had been busy and had expanded their business to the entire Land of Fire. At first, it was just the food industry, with a group of chefs trained by Uncle Teuchi and various fresh dishes from Sakura. Uncle Teuchi no longer cooks for outsiders now. Most of his time is spent training apprentices as a teacher. Only when Sakura and her friends come, he will cook. For the fact that their culinary skills have spread throughout the Land of Fire, Uncle Teuchi was excited for a long time.

After occupying the market in the food industry, the Haruno couple, under Sakura's guidance, began to attack other industries. In just one year, the Haruno family became famous big merchants in the Land of Fire. Recently, they have been considering expanding their business to other countries. After all, with more things to do, the two of them have no time to come back to Konoha. Fortunately, Sakura has always behaved very maturely, and with Third Hokage's guarantee, the two of them are not very worried about Sakura's safety.

In fact, at the beginning, the two of them also thought about bringing Sakura to live in the capital of the Land of Fire. They didn't lack money at home, and there was no need to become a ninja. But in the end, Sakura refused and directly brought Third Hokage to guarantee her safety.

Returning to the topic, after hearing Sakura's explanation, Ino also understood. But after taking a look at the hands of Naruto and Sakura holding each other, she showed an aunt's smile on her face.

"Sakura, I see that you and Naruto have successfully held hands. No wonder you came to school with him!"

"I mean, can't you stop being so mature?"

Sakura was speechless. "You know that Naruto and I are living together now. Holding hands between children is normal, isn't it?"

Since Haruno's parents didn't have time to go home, Sakura was the only one living in the Haruno house. One day, she went to Naruto's house and found out that he didn't know how to take care of himself or do housework. After telling the Third Hokage, Sakura let Naruto move in with her so that they wouldn't feel lonely.

"..."

Sakura shuddered involuntarily when she felt a prickling sensation on her back. When she turned around, she saw Sasuke, the older brother fanatic, staring at her with resentment.

"Can you stop staring at me like that? It's not my fault that your older brother doesn't have time to be with you!"

Sakura's mouth twitched. Since Uchiha Itachi joined ANBU, he had become very busy every day. Occasionally, when he had some free time, he would go to the dumpling shop with Uchiha Izumi to eat dumplings and chat. Since then, Sasuke had always liked to stare at her with eyes full of resentment, making it impossible for her to ignore him.

"If it weren't for you lying to me, my older brother wouldn't have gotten together with Izumi. The time he spends with Izumi should have been mine!"

Sasuke's resentment was about to reach the sky. He shouldn't have trusted Sakura. He was deceived into cross-dressing at first, and now he was deceived into causing his older brother to have no time to be with him. He was so angry. He was right. She was a demon.
