Naruto:Guru System
Ch 63: Dangerous situation

"[Calling]!" After the three are hit by Jonin, Sakura quickly uses her summoning jutsu.

A large cloud of white smoke rose as Sakura called out to Lapras.

"Lapras! Please, use the Ice block to disrupt the enemy's movement!"

"Father!!" As per Sakura's instructions, the Lapras directly used Ice Beam.

And although Jonin was able to avoid the Ice block, the situation became much more unfavorable for him now because it was now 1 Vs. 4 situations.

Jonin is like a cornered beast. He rushed to the team of six trio and raised his pair of short swords, and swept over them.

The Kumogakure ninja is popular for its lightning jutsu and swordsmanship, and this Jonis is no exception. With a speed that was much greater than the three, he quickly launched himself towards Ami.

"Fame!!!"

However, Hibachi was very quick to respond. As he watches Jonin move, Hibachi flashes towards Ami as he tries to use Octopus' blue ring to strike back at Jonin.

However, his enemy is Jonin, and Hibachi is not fast enough for that. Jonin kicks Ami's body like a cannonball and slashes Hibachi's neck with his sword.

Fortunately, Hibachi was very fast with his replacement, and just as Jonin's sword was about to cut his throat, Hibachi's figure was replaced by a wooden block.

*cut*

The log had been cut in half, but Hibachi was unharmed on the side.

Sakura and Hibachi now had a hint of panic on their faces. Ami is disabled even before she can do anything, and now the two must handle this Jonin themselves.

"Well, the turn sucks. If you're a man, do the battle right!" Seeing Hibachi's change, Jonin tried to provoke him.

As the experienced Jonin of Kumogakure, he has struggled for years, but this is the first time he has seen such a rapid turnover of players. He was convinced that Hibachi could not defeat him, but the turn upset him.

"Gimizu!" Sakura did not give Jonin a chance to rest as she compacted the water droplets in her hands and launched them towards Jonin.

BANG!!! BANG!!!

Uzhimizu's two punches, but because Sakura's strength was too small, only left a minor wound on Jonin.

However, the latter reacted quickly. He flashed and appeared right in front of Sakura, engaging Sakura in close combat.

"The strange technique. But unfortunately, your strength is still too weak?!" Jonin said in surprise as he swung his sword towards Sakura.

Sakurai did not answer. He barely dodged the sword and tried to counterattack with his fists.

He still clearly remembered Sanada's words. In close combat, the first to lose concentration was the loser.

The Jonin in front of him could not compare to Sanada or Kakashi, but even so, Sakura was still too heavy to handle on her own. Scars of swords and bleeding began to appear all over Sakura's body.

The more he tried to engage Jonin in close combat, the more he was cornered.

At this moment, Sakura suddenly heard a voice from behind.

"Sakura!!"

If the attack could hit, then it would be a definite kill for Jonin. But because before Hibachi shouted, Jonin had reacted and managed to avoid the kunai.

"Lightning Release: Lightning!" After fending off the kunai smeared with poison, Jonin threw his sword into the air while quickly making a hand gesture.

Lightning began to gather in his hand as he stretched out both of his arms, releasing a high stream through his palm, targeting Sakura and Hibachi simultaneously.

As Itachi said, every jutsu has its weaknesses, as well as Hibachi's replacement jutsu.

The drawback of Hibachi's substitution jutsu is the fact that it cannot evade large area attacks.

Hibachi tried to avoid his replacement, but in the end, he was still struck by lightning.

"Ouch!!!"

Hibachi shouted, which made Sakura's attention slightly distracted.

"Little girl, you should not pay attention to other places when you fight. Didn't your sense teach you that!"

Simultaneously with those words, a sword slashed at Sakura's body.

Blood splattered everywhere, but fortunately, his slash was not deep enough, and Sakura did not sustain any fatal injuries.

Sakura jumped back a few meters, trying to widen their distance.

Right now, the situation is very bad for him.

Two of his team-mates are injured, and he has to deal with Jonin himself.

Escape is not an option either. If he ran away, then Hibachi and Ami would definitely be killed.

'Is this... Why am I so weak...'

That thought flashed through Sakura's mind.

Before he knew it, fear began to appear in his heart. The most fatal thing in the ninja's life was his fragile heart and weak beliefs. And now, was the moment that Sakura's mind would be tested.

If he could get through this, he would let go of his cocoon and turn into a butterfly, but on the other hand, failure could make him no longer a match for a ninja.

Sakura's knees begin to weaken as signs fail to penetrate the cocoon. But then, Sanada's figure suddenly flashed through his mind.

The figure who always jokes with them, guides them and motivates them to become stronger.

But for some reason, behind all those smiles, Sakura always felt a loneliness that she buried deep in her heart.

There was a barrier separating Sanada-Sensei from everyone around him, and for Sakura, who interacted with Sanada-Sensei the most, she felt the barrier more clearly than anyone.

' No. I have to be stronger. I have sworn that I want to be someone that sensei can trust. Someone who can share the burden with sensei and someone who can walk with sensei on his journey. And for that... Such a small setback will not hold me here!'
