"Stupid disciple! Look at the mess you've made!!!"
Inside the interrogation room of the Konoha's Guard Squad, Tsunade's roar pierced through the specially designed soundproof door.
The Guard Squad's Ninjas outside, who had been watching the excitement, stared in unison at the direction from which the sound came, even forgetting to continue their work.
"All very free, are you? Having time to watch the excitement here? Do you think the case volume isn't saturated enough?" A powerful spirit mixed with Chakra burst forth. A deep voice sounded behind them.
The group of Ninja turned around and saw Sasuke, his gloomy face, staring at each of them with crimson eyes.
Stimulated by the powerful pupil power of the Sharingan, they shuddered and then scattered like they were fleeing.
Sasuke sighed, walked around the interrogation room, and placed a small barrier to block sound, then headed toward his own office.
"When you get back, make up for the residents' losses. And from now until you go to the front lines, you're under house arrest at home. No more using any Ninjutsu!!!" Once again grabbing her disciple's face and rubbing it, Tsunade drummed her instructions into this troublesome apprentice's ears.
Fortunately, it was only property damage, no casualties. Making up for it wouldn't be too difficult.
Besides, Sakura was her disciple and one of the few Ninja in the village qualified to serve as Hokage. What could Tsunade do with her?
—Of course, forgive her~
It could only be said that the strong have privileges in any world. Rules and systems would yield to them to a certain extent.
"Hehe, I know, Tsunade-nee. I promise to clean up the aftermath!" Sakura grinned and saluted Tsunade, causing her to learn the Byakugan glare in real time.
"Stop grinning! And get lost!"
Grabbing the back of her disciple's neck, Tsunade tossed her out of the Guard Squad's building, then took Sakura's case file and walked toward the Hokage Building.
The girl, who had narrowly escaped punishment from the Guard Squad, swayed as she walked home, to face the storm from her parents.
Dozens of minutes later, outside the Haruno Residence.
Looking at the large hole in her room that her parents had casually covered with a piece of cloth, Sakura's mouth twitched.
They had probably received the receipt from the Guard Squad's Ninja, like the other residents of the neighborhood, and knew that the losses would be fully covered by Sakura personally. So they had simply patched it up without doing any substantive repair.
Pushing open the door and taking off her shoes at the entrance, she hadn't even entered the house before receiving the double attention salute of her parents.
Finally, the two of them used Sealing Demon Wave to pin her to the dining table, and a small court was convened.
Presided over by Sakura's father, Sakura's mother, and the temporarily dragged in to make up the numbers, Leviathan.
The three simultaneously served as arresting officer, public prosecutor, defense attorney, judge, executioner....
"Speak. What about home has displeased you now, that you're setting off explosions in the house early in the morning?"
The mother, strong-willed, started off as an old yin-yang master, giving the explosive toad at home a thorough scolding.
At this time, Kizashi, playing the role of defense attorney, played the good cop. "Dear, be considerate of the child's difficulties. Sakura surely didn't mean to do it, right? Is there any background to this?"
Kizashi's dialogue, seemingly considerate of her, still secretly contained a digging into the morning's events. It was like he was using all the tricks he had learned at the corporation.
However, the matter of Sato Sakura needed to be explained to her parents. Plus, she would be staying at home for a while, and the connection between Sato Sakura and herself...
Thinking this, Sakura took a deep breath and looked at the two. "Mom, Dad, let me tell you something. You need to be mentally prepared!"
"Hmm?" Mebuki's raised an eyebrow, teasing. "So solemn! Is it something very important? Could it be... you have a boyfriend outside?"
"A boyfriend is absolutely not allowed, Sakura is only sixteen, not yet old enough to date!!!" Kizashi immediately contracted his pupils, shocked, as he stood up and knocked over his chair behind him.
"No, you two, listen to me!" The girl slammed the table, took a deep breath at her parents, who kept interrupting her.
Trying to use her most serious side, she announced to them, "Actually, I have a daughter!!!"
As the words fell,
At the dining table,
Kizashi and Mebuki silently turned their heads to look at each other. Their expressions became exceptionally brilliant, not knowing how to judge.
"Who? You? Have a... daughter?" After a long while, Kizashi, thinking he had misheard, repeated the girl's words.
"Yes, she's five years old this year and twenty meters tall." Sakura nodded, continuing her description.
"Pfft!"
A discordant sound came from the dining table. Mebuki covered her mouth tightly, trying to recall all the sad things in her life.
"What, you don't believe me?" Sakura frowned, looking at her mother.
"Sakura-chan, we believe you, of course we believe you... pfft!" Kizashi, who had originally wanted to appear reliable in front of his daughter, also couldn't help himself.
Especially when he saw his wife already biting her finger and making eye contact with him, their uncontrollable laughter broke through all restraints.
"Ha, hahahaha!" x2
The entire Haruno Residence was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. Mebuki lay on the table, from covering her mouth to covering her stomach.
Kizashi laughed so hard his chest heaved violently. He slapped the table while coughing, his voice drawled out long, with some cracking.
"Stop laughing! I'm trying to tell you something serious!" The girl, her arms crossed, protested.
The Haruno couple, acting as parents, still laughed uproariously. Instead, upon hearing the girl's protest, they laughed even harder.
After a long while, Mebuki stood up, walked over, and pulled her daughter into her arms. She lovingly rubbed her head. "You've reached that age too. Your mother should educate you on some common sense."
A five-year-old daughter? Don't be ridiculous.
Kizashi and Mebuki only rarely restricted their daughter's choices in life, not that they completely ignored her.
Their sixteen-year-old daughter having a five-year-old child would mean she had been... no, was ten years old when she had it.
Such jokes were better not made, as they could easily lead to acute heavy metal poisoning death.
"You two!" Sakura broke free from her mother's embrace and snapped her fingers at Leviathan. "Release her!"
Leviathan, who had been watching the show, found her moment to appear. She used her ability to manipulate darkness and released Sato Sakura from her belly.
Thud!
The expressionless girl stumbled and fell into Sakura's arms, calling out softly, "Mother."
"Excellent Clone Technique. Don't use it again!" Kizashi also stepped forward, embracing both daughters at once. "Before, your father and mother were neglectful of your emotional needs. We'll pay attention in the future."
"Hmph!" Expressionlessly, right in front of Kizashi, Sakura formed hand seals, split into a bunch of clones, and then released the technique to dispel them.
After the smoke cleared, Sato Sakura, who had been identified as a clone by the two, was still happily nestled in Sakura's arms.
Then, something occurred to Kizashi. The color drained from his face, and his teeth began to chatter. "S-s-she..."
"Yes, my daughter. Your granddaughter."
"Hic!" The two, as parents, choked. Then came the sound of two heavy objects hitting the floor.
The Haruno couple… unable to rise again!
