Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

After all, letting Haruno Sakura and the others battle other children, even without using Chakra, just their physical bodies were enough to defeat most of the kids who only knew amateur fighting.

Ah! What a headache!

Taking the students to the playground, Iruka said, "Everyone, warm up first, run around the playground for ten laps."

The school's playground wasn't large, one lap was only four hundred meters, ten laps were four thousand meters.

For Haruno Sakura and the others, it was a piece of cake, but for the other students, it was still a challenge. Many students were gasping for air after finishing.

"Everyone, after running, don't sit down right away, get up and move around, flex your muscles, otherwise your legs and feet will become even more sore and numb." Iruka clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention.

"Next, is the real combat training."

"First group, Naruto Uzumaki VS Haruno Sakura!"

"Starting in five minutes!"

Naruto waved his fists, excitedly saying, "Sakura, this time, I will definitely defeat you. I recently created a brand new Ninjutsu, just you wait and see."

"Is that so? I'm looking forward to it." Sakura's lips curved in a smile, her clear eyes shimmering with a faint golden hue, as dazzling as the sun.

For a moment, Naruto was almost enchanted.

Just then, a breeze blew by, and Sakura's waist-length hair fluttered in the wind, like cherry blossoms in full bloom in spring, irresistible to touch.

"So beautiful!"

It wasn't just Naruto; other boys were also stunned, especially Iruka, who couldn't stop slapping his cheeks, cursing himself for having feelings for his student, who was only eight years old!

[Iruka, pull yourself together, she's just a child!] Iruka admonished himself, trying to focus his thoughts elsewhere: "Sakura's eyes seem to have a golden color, could it be some Kekkei Genkai?"

"Ouch!" Sakura grabbed Naruto's hand that had involuntarily reached out, her eyes holding a hint of danger: "Naruto, what are you trying to do?"

"Ah? I couldn't help myself, couldn't help myself." Naruto came back to his senses, smiled sheepishly, and changed the topic, "Sakura, what do you think about me growing long hair too?"

"Long hair?" Sakura replied casually with a smile, "It's quite troublesome to maintain, and in battle, it's easy for an enemy to catch and exploit as a weakness."

Long hair, if grabbed by someone else, can easily lead to injuries to the head and neck.

Therefore, most ninjas have short hair, even girls, whose hair is at most shoulder-length.

Of course, there are exceptions.

For instance, everyone from the Yamanaka Clan, regardless of gender, wore a large ponytail at the back of their head.

"Then why do you keep long hair, Sakura?" Naruto asked. Cаtсh thе fоrmаttеd vеrsiоn аt М|V|LЕМ_РYR.

"We are different."

Her long hair?

It wasn't just for show, but could be used to perform Ninjutsu—during the use of Chakra, Sakura discovered that she could control her hair like an arm, which could extend with the support of Chakra.

Besides, her cherry-blossom-colored hair looked very soft and felt very smooth to the touch, yet it couldn't be burned by fire or cut by scissors.

Impervious to fire and water, combining both hardness and softness.

In battle, this beautiful hair could produce unexpected effects.

Moreover, Sakura had also discovered that her hair contained nerve cells, similar to the extensions of her own brain's neurons, enabling her to sense the components of the air.

Of course, this required Sakura herself to possess the relevant knowledge, otherwise, even if she sensed something, she wouldn't understand what it was.

"Is this also a type of Kekkei Genkai?" Iruka had naturally heard Sakura's explanation to Naruto and pondered, "No, that's not right, there indeed is a Ninjutsu that can make hair grow long, but Sakura shouldn't be able to learn it, did she create it herself? It's possible, after all, Sakura is a genius!"

In the blink of an eye, five minutes had passed.

The contest between Haruno Sakura and Naruto Uzumaki officially began!
