Hanfu's suggestion earned a grateful eye roll from Kakashi.
As soon as Sakura was done, Kakashi dashed over to her. Whatever he said, it didn't take long for Sakura's face to flush and her body to tremble, her eyes shining with hope.
At last, Sakura took a deep breath and bravely knocked on Tsunade's door.
