Where Am I?! (Second update!)

When I woke up, everything was still normal.

I always feel like someone is pulling me along.

She tugged at her clothes. "Could it be here?" She put her hands inside her clothes and pressed them against her chest.

Then he withdrew his hand, looked at the curve of his palm, and remained silent for a while.

"Go back!"

Sakura Haruno pouted and decided to ignore the matter.

After packing her things, the girl's figure vanished into the ruins in an instant.

The ruins of the ancient city of Rōran were not far from Konoha. She rushed back and arrived near Konoha that night.

After crossing a hill, the iconic towering wooden walls of Konoha appeared hazy in the night, coming into Sakura Haruno's view.

"Phew~ I'm home!" Sakura slowly exhaled. She didn't go through the main gate, but passed through the defensive barrier and jumped directly over the wall.

"Why is the barrier now using an old-fashioned entry method? That's an antique from ten years ago, isn't it?" the girl muttered as she jumped down from the wall. She didn't pay much attention to it, and after her grumbling, she headed straight for the center of Konoha.

"Should I go home first, or go find Tsunade?" Sakura was torn.

Go home, take a shower, and then get a good night's sleep in your own bed. That should probably get rid of that strange, uncomfortable feeling that started after the white light flashed, right?

No, if there really is something wrong with that white light and energy, she should go to Tsunade to resolve it as soon as possible, otherwise she might regret it for the rest of her life if she delays...

A decision has been made.

"Alright, let's go find Tsunade!" The girl slammed her fist down.

Sakura looked up and saw Kakashi walking past her with a preoccupied look on his face, his head down, as if he hadn't seen her at all.

"Kakashi!" she called out, pouting.

This guy is pretending he didn't see her!

"Oh?" Kakashi suddenly looked up and glanced at Sakura. "Oh, good evening!"

He gave a perfunctory reply, his gaze showing absolutely no interest in his most beloved disciple; for a moment, Sakura Haruno almost thought he was someone else impersonating Kakashi.

However, since she was standing so close to him, completely within Sakura's precise perception range, Sakura Haruno was 100% certain that this was Kakashi's Chakra.

It wasn't that someone used Transformation Technique to impersonate him.

But... why does it feel so strange?

Kakashi looked at her as if she were a complete stranger; the tone of his voice was exactly the same as when Sakura had recently encountered strangers greeting her.

They were all just polite gestures and greetings.

"Good evening, Kakashi..." She cautiously looked at the somewhat strange masked youth. The night was gloomy and the lights were dim. Only when she got closer could she see the details on Kakashi's face clearly—his face seemed to be a little younger than Sakura remembered.

Sakura Haruno glanced at him a few more times. After all, she had spent every day with Kakashi in Team 7, and had even seen him before the Chunin Ninja Exams. How could she not notice the change in her team leader? She was certain—

"How come you look so young?"

Sakura was filled with doubt, but she only asked this question.

Kakashi had already greeted her and was about to pass by when he heard this, so he stopped and turned around, saying, "I've always been like this."

He glanced at Ying, finding her face unfamiliar. In the quiet of the night, moonlight peeked through the clouds, occasionally casting a silvery glow that reflected on the girl's flawless face, giving it a soft, radiant glow and a captivating beauty.

If he had ever seen a girl of that caliber, he would have at least some impression of her.

It's strange, he's been in Konoha for so many years and he's never seen a pretty girl with pink hair before?

However, the other person's leisurely pace, open eyes, and gentle Chakra quality made Kakashi intuitively feel that she had no ill intentions and was not a suspicious person.

If she were a suspicious person, why would she have such a pretty face and greet him on the street?

Therefore, Kakashi quickly suppressed his slight doubts, thinking that perhaps he was just ignorant.

Without saying anything more, he glanced at her again and turned to leave.

"Things have been a bit unsafe at night lately, so please don't wander around on the streets at night."

He left behind these words when he left.

Sakura watched his hurried departure, the words "I am Sakura Haruno" stuck in her throat, unable to be uttered.

She was definitely not stupid, nor did she believe that the strange people and things she encountered were her illusions or some other kind of Genjutsu.

In fact, these strange occurrences, taken together, made her increasingly puzzled.

An unbelievable thought popped into my head.

Could this be Konoha from a few years ago?

"No way..." She tugged at her clothes, the pulling sensation becoming increasingly clear. She looked up at the empty space and murmured.

"Although it's unbelievable, but..." The girl bit her lip, thought for a moment, and then frowned, "This seems to explain everything."

An old-fashioned way of entering a barrier. A young Kakashi who doesn't recognize her. And...

Sakura Haruno looked up and saw that the Hokage Rock were indistinct in the night, but she could still make out the faces of several people on them.

One, two, three... four! There are only four!

Tsunade's picture is not on it.

The girl took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

She hesitated for a moment, then changed direction, turning from the Hokage's residence towards the Haruno Clan: "If the guess is true, I won't be able to find Tsunade there at all..."

"My family has never moved before, and if nothing unexpected happens, it should be around here..."

Sakura took slightly heavy steps, her heart filled with mixed emotions, on her way "home".

She walked slowly, glancing around nervously, unsure what it would be like to meet her younger self; so she quickly noticed the unusual situation in Konoha.

Why is there no one on the street?

The whole road was deserted and quiet; despite it being early summer, the air felt chilly.

The girl had just experienced the brightly lit and bustling Konoha during the festival; now she saw Konoha so deserted that it seemed haunted.

Even in the coldest winter months of Sakura's time, Konoha was more lively than it is now.

She walked for a while before encountering a hurried passerby, a Konoha Chunin, who was looking up at her and then back again, and kindly said, "Young lady, you should probably head home soon!"

She frowned deeply. Sakura vaguely remembered this scene.

This was the atmosphere in Konoha several years ago, before the Uchiha Clan Massacre.

So, could she have gone back to that time...?

This made her heart feel even heavier. But this time, it was a different kind of heaviness.

The pulling sensation was becoming increasingly pronounced. She was beginning to understand what this strange feeling was—it was her world trying to pull her back. Perhaps, when this feeling became strong enough, that would be the moment she was pulled back.

In other words, she doesn't have much time left.

A certain thought urged her on, and Sakura lost all interest in continuing to portray a melancholic and sensitive girl; her eyes instantly sharpened.

Let's take this opportunity to explore the secrets behind the Uchiha Clan Massacre!

Anyway, she's just a passerby in this world, so if there's anything she needs to ask the Third, she can just ask them directly!

No need to consider too many other issues...

But before that, she had to do one thing first—

First, take a look at "yourself".

"Thank you for the reminder," she said calmly to the ninja, then vanished in Body Flicker Technique at a speed he had never witnessed before.

Whoosh—leaving only a blur and a Chunin with his mouth agape, Chunin utterly astonished.

Did you encounter a ghost?

Haruno Clan.

Like many other households on the street, affected by the recent eerie atmosphere in the village, this family also turned on their lights and kept their doors tightly closed.

The sudden, urgent knocking startled the family who were having dinner.

The three adults looked at each other, then the younger one stood up. "Big brother, I'll go Gate of Opening."

"Oku, be careful."

"Who is it?" Oku Haruno Gate of Opening and saw a young girl in her prime standing behind it.

"I'm looking for Kizashi Haruno. Is he home?" the girl asked with a faint smile.

Before Oku Haruno could answer, the girl, as if she were the owner of the house, Earth Flow in familiarly, took off her shoes, and went straight into the hall.

Under the influence of her inexplicable aura, Oku Haruno made no attempt to stop the girl's rude actions.

"Oku," Kizashi Haruno said as he caught sight of a figure entering out of the corner of his eye. Then he turned around and realized it wasn't his younger brother. "Huh? Who are you?"

"Big brother, she's looking for you," Oku Haruno, who was following behind, said hurriedly.

The girl smiled faintly, her gentle gaze sweeping over Kizashi Haruno Mebuki Haruno before landing on the pink-haired loli sitting in the corner.

"I'm not here to see you, Mr. Zhao," said Sakura Haruno. "I'm here to see Sakura Haruno."

Sakura felt a little strange saying her own name like that; she suppressed that strange feeling and looked at the somewhat surprised girl with her bright eyes.

Sakura Haruno, a little frightened by her gaze, shrank into her mother's arms. Mebuki Haruno frowned. "What do you want with my daughter?"

"Sorry, I just wanted to ask her a few questions."

The larger Sakura Haruno looked at her trembling, loli-like self, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. She felt a little strange, then surprised.

She quickly realized what was happening.

Her previous guess wasn't entirely correct; she missed one thing!

This is a loli version of Sakura Haruno...
