"If there's nothing else, we need to go support Kakashi's side. You should stay here and rest for now!"
Sakura stood up, stretched slightly, and said, "All right, Master Kai."
Might Guy nodded to Grandma Chiyo, then left with Tenten, Rock Lee, and Neji.
This time, Yuka did not follow them, because she had already proven her worth.
As Kai left,
Sakura first greeted Grandma Chiyo,
then walked over to Yuka.
Then she said once again, "Thank you."
This time, Yuka spoke as well. "You really don't need to thank me."
Sakura froze slightly. She did not know the person before her, much less her identity.
And now, she was genuinely curious about who this person was.
So she asked without hesitation.
But Yuka clearly did not want to answer these questions, so in the end, she merely brushed them all aside with a smile.

Not who she was, or where she came from,
but why someone like her had appeared here.

A brief silence seemed to settle over the area.

Although Sakura wanted to talk with Yuka,
Yuka remained silent for the time being, lost in thought.
But it did not last long. Might Guy
