It's "nothing special."

Upon further inquiry, it was revealed that he had also killed Deidara and Kisame, defeated Kakuzu, Hidan and Sasori, crushed Orochimaru, and forced Uchiha Itachi to retreat.

This doesn't even include her other achievements, such as fighting Mei Terumi in the Land of Water and thwarting Danzo's plot.

Kakashi, Naruto, and Sakura were all dumbfounded after hearing all this, almost speechless.

Naruto was completely dumbfounded, his mouth agape as he stared at Sakura Haruno with a silly look on his face.

"Would I get beaten up by Sakura in that world?" Naruto thought to himself, comparing the strength and violent nature of Sakura in this world to that of a violent woman, and then imagining the violent tendencies of that Sakura Haruno...

Naruto suddenly shuddered.

"So you were the main force in the battle just now!" Kakashi stroked his chin, looking at the strange yet familiar girl in front of him with a surprised gaze, and said in a daze.

No wonder, she spoke to Sasuke and the Masked Man in that tone, and they acted as if it were perfectly normal.

So they were all beaten into submission...

This guy... is way more violent than our Sakura. I must be under a lot of pressure having such an outstanding student over there, right? Kakashi felt a bead of cold sweat trickle down his back.

"You're so strong..." Sakura said with deep emotion. She looked at the girl in front of her who was so similar to herself yet so different, and her thoughts were very complicated.

Why are there such big differences between the same person?

She envied her counterpart in the other world.

He admired her for her strength and grace, her heroic and dashing appearance, and even more so for her ability to chat and laugh with Sasuke so easily.

She stood next to Sakura Haruno and secretly compared them. Surprisingly, the Sakura Haruno from the other world, who was a year younger, was taller—this was clearly due to the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai. Under the influence of Ice Release, Sakura Haruno's development was accelerated and prolonged. She was already 15 years old and was still growing at a rate of two to three centimeters per year. In the end, she would probably be several centimeters taller than Sakura from this world.

Her facial features, demeanor, and shoulder-length hair all made her appear much more mature than her. Although she was a year older, compared to her, she seemed like a younger sister... Thinking of this, Sakura felt a pang of frustration.

"How did you do that?" she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Me?--"

Before Sakura Haruno could figure out which aspect Sakura was referring to, Naruto quickly answered.

"I know! It's because of Sage Mode, right!" he shouted. "I can feel it!"

Naruto and Sakura Haruno, having mastered Sage Mode, are highly sensitive to the aura of their own kind.

"Sage Mode?" Sakura was taken aback, then nodded in agreement.

"You're mistaken, it's not like that." Sasuke shook his head, hands in his pockets, and refuted with a nonchalant expression.

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, he smiled faintly and explained, "Sakura only recently mastered Sage Mode... She didn't know this move when she defeated Kisame and Itachi!"

"That's right. Those who master Sage Mode must themselves be highly skilled ninjas with Chakra." Kakashi understood Sasuke's subtext. He glanced at Naruto and said, "Lord Jiraiya and Naruto are examples..."

Sage Mode is just icing on the cake. We can't let Sakura Haruno's previous efforts be overshadowed by the power of Sage Mode.

However, to be able to defeat Kisame and force Itachi to retreat in a single battle before mastering Sage Mode...

How much will this power inflate after being enhanced by Sage Mode?

Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Heh~" Sakura Haruno smiled and waved her hand, "In that respect, there's really nothing particularly good."

"As you all know, I have a high talent for Chakra manipulation, so I'm quite good at Ninjutsu. With the aid of the Yin Seal, my endurance and burst damage in battle are quite good... As for Taijutsu, I use Nintaijutsu based on Monstrous Strength Technique, and it's quite effective." She gave a brief introduction.

"Sakura, you should be able to do these things too."

Sakura Haruno looked at the cherry blossoms of this world and said calmly.

To put it bluntly, based on her observations over the past few minutes, the power gap between Sakura and Naruto in this world is quite large. In other words, as the female protagonist, she's probably still just a decorative figurehead or a support character at this point...

There's a significant difference between her and the time-traveling Sakura Haruno.

However, as a commoner ninja without any lineage or Kekkei Genkai, Sakura's ability to grow to this level at the young age of 16 is actually quite remarkable—especially considering she is a precious medical-nin.

Sakura's brilliance was overshadowed simply because her teammates were Naruto and Sasuke.

This also added a touch of insecure fragility and stubbornness to her temperament.

"If I do that, can I... reach your level too?" the pink-haired girl asked, her eyes wide with surprise.

"Haha... Well," Sakura Haruno chuckled dryly, "What I just showed you was only a part of it... I also created a few Ninjutsu to make up for my weaknesses; and then there's Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, Sage Mode, and things like that."

Of course, since what's here involves Sakura Haruno's core secrets, she won't just come out casually.

Reaching my level is no easy feat.

"Oh, I see." Sakura lowered her head in utter disappointment.

"If you can do all those things, Sakura, you'll already be an amazing ninja!" Kakashi patted Sakura on the shoulder, comforting her. "You from another world have already set an example for you. Follow her guidance, and you too will become a great female ninja!"

Kakashi actually knew what was going on.

The biggest difference between the two Sakura Haruno is not actually the difference in strength, but the difference in mentality.

Throughout, Sakura never had the idea of "becoming strong." The closest she came was when she saw her teammates making progress and wanted to "keep up with them," which is why she worked hard to train.

The other Sakura Haruno, even when she just stands quietly with a faint, serene smile on her face like Sakura, still has a dazzling light in her eyes.

He seems to have a rather boyish, self-reliant personality and temperament.

This led to the creation of two different Sakura Haruno.

If Sakura hadn't chosen the path of medical-nin back then, perhaps she would be somewhat like the Sakura Haruno we see today?

However, this alone is not enough to grow into a ninja of the caliber of Sakura Haruno.

Kakashi pondered to himself...

The aftershocks of that battle were enough to alter the terrain of this land... This is already approaching the level of the battle between Pain and Naruto. In other words, Sakura Haruno's strength is at least close to the level of Naruto and Pain!

This analysis sent a chill down Kakashi's spine.

While Naruto and Sakura remained oblivious, he had already silently analyzed many things, and the two visitors, who claimed to be from another world, now appeared mysterious to him...

As an Elite Jonin with many years of ninja experience, he did not easily trust a stranger he had only met recently... especially since the other party's identity was so peculiar.

From the worst-case scenario, if a conflict were to break out between the two, given Sakura Haruno's strength, only Naruto would likely be able to confront her head-on. As for him and Sakura, they could only try their best to maneuver around her and not become a hindrance...

Fortunately, these two visitors from another world seemed friendly towards Konoha and them.

Thinking this, Kakashi's expression relaxed a bit. He smiled and said, "Actually, Sakura, all of your Akatsuki members, except for Kisame and Itachi, have been dealt with... We have more detailed information here; I'll give it to you when we get back to the village. However, we still lack firsthand information about Kisame. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!"

"You're too kind, Kakashi-sensei."

"Could you please recount the details of the battle just now? Especially the information about the Masked Man who claimed to be Madara Uchiha, this is extremely important!"

"No problem, but... before that," Sakura Haruno blinked, looking a little hesitant, "There's something I need to tell you."

"I just killed your new Hokage."

"Yes... Shimura Danzō dead."

Her expression was solemn, and she spoke sternly.
