Sakura Haruno Is Usefull

When Haruno Zhao hurriedly arrived at the backyard and saw his daughter, he was taken aback by the scene before him.

There were several cushions placed under the tree in the backyard, but his daughter was... climbing the tree?

However, this tree-climbing was different from what Haruno Zhao had expected.

His daughter wasn't just climbing—it was as if she was walking on the tree.

Though Haruno Sakura was wobbling slightly, she was indeed walking up the tree.

Seeing this, Haruno Zhao's anger began to fade. Though he still wanted to ask why his daughter looked so listless again, it was clear she was practicing. So, he held back his urge to question her.

Haruno Sakura focused on controlling the chakra she gathered at the soles of her feet, slowly making her way upward.

As an ordinary civilian ninja, her talent might not be as extraordinary as those of the so-called "cheaters," but it was impressive enough.

Even in Boruto, where most of the so-called cheaters were significantly weakened, Haruno Sakura was still able to thrive.

Without using the Hundred Healings Technique, she had already managed to defeat an Uchiha.

Moreover, she discovered that she was naturally good at controlling chakra. Despite this being her first time practicing tree-climbing, she was already mastering it.

Balance, control, and steady chakra gathering at her feet—Haruno Sakura was excelling.

Looking at her destination just ahead, a hint of darkness flickered in her emerald green eyes.

Since Sakura had left, there was nothing left to do but pursue power.

She was determined to keep moving forward, step by step.

Haruno Sakura stood on top of the tree, looking around.

The evening wind rustled through her pink hair.

The feeling was unexpectedly pleasant.

The next day, Haruno Sakura continued her routine in Iruka's class at the Ninja School.

But as she listened, Haruno Sakura frowned.

This lesson was far too simple...

She could've advanced much faster. But if she stayed in this class, she wouldn't have access to the Yin Seal for years.

She needed to skip a grade...

The pencil in her hand spun between her fingers, and Haruno Sakura couldn't help but look out the window.

Skipping grades had its pros and cons.

The pros were obvious: it allowed her to quickly master more useful knowledge.

But the cons were just as clear.

This class consisted of the future leaders of the major clans.

Hyuga, Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi, Inuzuka, Aburame...

And most importantly...

Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke!

The reincarnations of Ashura and Indra!

If she could form good relationships with these people, she might save herself ten years of hard work.

It was lucky for someone like Haruno Sakura, a civilian, to even be in this elite class.

"Wow, Sasuke, you're so handsome..."

Haruno Sakura was lost in thought when the class bell rang, snapping her out of her reverie.

Iruka briefly glanced at her but didn't comment. He had noticed that Sakura was taking detailed notes during class, so he didn't feel the need to say anything.

Top students often receive special treatment.

"Hey, Sakura, are you thinking about Sasuke?"

Ino, sitting next to her, leaned in with a mischievous look.

Her eyes hinted at a bit of nervousness.

Sasuke was the most handsome boy in class and admired by all the girls.

Even though he acted aloof, his looks, strength, and status as the second son of the Uchiha family made him the ideal dream boy.

Compared to Sasuke, Naruto seemed like a different world.

Haruno Sakura looked at Ino with a puzzled expression.

She knew Ino was just like the other girls in the class, all of them infatuated with Sasuke. So she casually responded,

"No, I was thinking about whether I should skip a grade."

"Huh?"

Ino stared at Haruno Sakura in surprise.

"What Iruka-sensei taught was too easy. I understood everything the first time. The rest of the time, I was just bored."

"I spent half the class daydreaming. It was so boring..."

Hearing this, Ino felt like crying, though no tears came.

So this was the difference between a poor student and a top student?

Even though Ino wasn't a poor student, she felt like she was constantly being outperformed.

"Skipping grades sounds like a hassle... Wouldn't it be better to just stay here?"

A lazy voice came from behind, clearly overhearing their conversation.

"Shikamaru, you were eavesdropping on girls' secrets?"

Ino spun around to see Shikamaru, only six years old, yawning and rubbing his eyes.

"Hey, hey, I'm sorry, is that so bad?"

The pineapple-haired boy couldn't care less about Haruno Sakura's thoughts.

He could have stayed peacefully at the Ninja School for six years, but she insisted on skipping grades and making things more difficult for herself.

But...

It was impressive.

Most students who skipped grades ended up becoming powerful ninjas.

Shikamaru glanced at the girl with pink hair, then returned to his game of chess, uninterested in the conversation.

Haruno Sakura, however, had her reasons for wanting to skip a grade.

The Hokage's torture department was like a sword of Damocles hanging over her head.

The Yin Seal was pushing her forward, urging her to move faster.

In the original story, it took Sakura three years to complete the Hundred Healings Technique.

Since she was only six years old now, if she took twice as long, she would be twelve when she finished.

That timing would align with the moment she would begin pursuing the Yin Seal.

Moreover, if she obtained the Yin Seal a day before, and completed the Hundred Healings the very next day, no one would believe it.

Haruno Sakura exhaled deeply and made up her mind. She stood up, ready to go straight to Iruka.

She needed to ask him for the first-grade materials and master them as quickly as possible.

Afterward, she would move on to second-grade materials, and so on, until she had mastered all six grades of content.

Her goal was clear:

Two years.

Fight!

Haruno Sakura knew it was a foolish idea, but it was the only option available to her as a civilian.

There were too few resources available to her...

Even if she graduated early, she would still need to catch the attention of Konoha's top leaders.

Everything was still uncertain.

With a heavy heart, Haruno Sakura stepped into Iruka's office.

"Eh? Sakura, you've come at the perfect time. I need to ask you something."

Before Sakura could explain her purpose, Iruka spoke first, seeing her enter.
