Chapter 317 The Third Person Who Knew the Plan

Sakura was eventually released after investigation.

But she is no longer a member of Kakashi's team.

Because she was under suspicion, and Naruto of Kakashi's team was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and Sasuke was the second son of the Uchiha clan leader, so if she had any ideas that were detrimental to the two of them, no one in Kakashi's team could stop her.

Sakura didn't expect things to turn out like this.

"Jianbing Guozi... selling Jianbing Guozi."

Sakura raised her head and looked ahead at the street. She saw the familiar snack stand owner pushing his cart and hawking his wares, but this time he had changed the snacks.

"How much is the pancake?"

"Oh, it's you, little girl." The snack stand owner looked at Sakura with a smile.

"Long time no see, uncle."

"Yeah, it's been a long time." The snack stand owner stopped pushing the cart and started making pancakes: "Are you going to the Land of Whirlpools?"

"I've been there, and I found the secret of the Whirlpool Country."

"You must be pretty awesome now, then."

“I got what I wanted, but I didn’t get the results I wanted.”

"What outcome do you want?"

"I thought I could be the first generation and founder of the Haruno family, but now I am just a suspected suspect."

"This is normal because of the class stratification," said the snack stand owner.

"What do you mean by class stratification?" Sakura was a ninja and still a child, so how could she understand the meaning of this sentence?

"After Konoha was established, the distribution of power and interests began. When the Sandaime came to power, this distribution process was completely completed. All power and interests had been distributed. At this time, the various powerful people began to consolidate their own rights and interests. They would not allow civilian ninjas to rise, because the rise of a civilian ninja would inevitably squeeze out the interests of the privileged class. So if there is a problem, they will magnify it, and if there is no problem, they will also create problems."

"Is there no other way?"

"Yes, in the ninja world, strength is everything. When your strength reaches a certain level, no one can ignore your right to speak. When you are strong enough, everyone will listen to you quietly."

"But a person's strength is limited after all, so is there no other way?"

"Go and take your revenge in a completely new political system, a political system where classes have not yet become solidified," said the snack stand owner.

"What new political system...wait...are you trying to tempt me to betray Konoha?"

Sakura suddenly came to her senses and her eyes turned serious.

The snack stand owner rolled up a pancake with a smile.

"I'm just following what you said. Everything is what you think in your heart, that's all." The snack stand owner handed the pancake in his hand to Sakura.

"Who are you?"

"What happened to your predecessor later?"

"Who?"

"The first generation patriarch of the Konoha Uzumaki clan."

Sakura stared at the snack stand owner: "What happened to him?"

"He and Madara foresaw the future of Konoha, so they told everyone a big lie. Whoever lost the election for the second-generation Hokage would become a traitor, and then force the ninja world to make changes."

Sakura recalled Uzumaki Takashi's diary, in which Uchiha Madara once said that the man was not a traitor.

"Then how did he do it?"

"After he left Konoha Village, he established the Yonin Village."

Sakura's scalp tingled at that moment. Was the Yonin Village founded by that person?

At this moment she seemed to see the truth.

Sakura's breathing became rapid. How could she know such a huge secret?

"He and Madara both have their own cognition and political inclinations, so they want to establish a new regime in their own way. They are so strange. Their political goals are the same, to unify the entire ninja world, but they tend to have two political positions. So they agreed that one would establish a new force, and the other would be based on Konoha Village. Then they would launch an unprecedented war, a war that would sweep across the entire ninja world. Whoever wins will have the final say and decide how to govern and what policies to implement."

"So, you are a spy for the Yonin Village?"

"I'm giving you two choices now, stand on that person's side, or stand on Madara's side."

"I will never betray Konoha Village."

Sakura is not without worries, she still has her own family.

"Haha... That's a shame. I thought you would be more radical, but it's also to be expected."

The snack stand owner smiled as he packed up his food and pushed his cart away.

Sakura was about to chase the snack stand owner when a man walked out from around the corner.

Uchiha Madara looked at Sakura, and after looking her up and down for a moment.

"From now on, you will be my disciple."

"You? Who are you?"

"Hehe...I'm Uchiha Madara."

"What? How is this possible? Why are you still alive?"

"For my ideals, of course I am still alive. What's so strange about that?" Uchiha Madara said, "Let's go and meet Tsunade."

Uchiha Madara took the dazed Sakura towards the Hokage Building.

The guards of the Hokage Building seemed not to have seen Uchiha Madara and Sakura, their eyes became dull and lifeless.

Uchiha Madara walked to the Hokage's office. Tsunade was surprised to see the newcomer: "Grandpa Madara, why are you here? Huh? Why did you bring her here?"

"I've heard about her story. She has been cleared of suspicion. She was struck by a special seal of the Whirlpool Country, the Shackles of Time."

"What's going on?" Tsunade asked in surprise.

"On the eve of the destruction of the Whirlpool Country, I went to the Whirlpool Country. The Great Elder of the Whirlpool Country, Uzumaki Takashi, asked me to pay attention to the successor of the Whirlpool Country, and told me about the purpose of the Shackles of Time." Uchiha Madara said: "He sealed the inheritance of the Whirlpool Country in the Shackles of Time. One day, if someone touches the Shackles of Time, they will fall into the acceleration of time. In this seal, the flow of time will be ten thousand times faster than the normal flow of time. If you want to break the Shackles of Time, you need to thoroughly master the inheritance of the Whirlpool Country. If you can't master the inheritance within a limited lifespan, then the other party will be trapped in the Shackles of Time forever because of the accelerated passage of time. She spent ten years in the Shackles of Time and thoroughly mastered the secrets of the Whirlpool Country, so she said that she had experienced ten years, because the ten years she felt were real."

"I'm sorry, Sakura, I misunderstood you."

"It's alright Hokage-sama."

"Besides, I plan to take him in as my apprentice."
