Naruto the Genius

Chapter 169 Between Friends
On Naruto's side, Deidara stood there looking a little nervous, he didn't know when Naruto would attack him. Although he remained motionless, he always looked at Naruto intently to prevent Naruto from making any sudden moves. Naruto was very relaxed, smiling and said to Deidara: "Since just now, you have been carefully observing me to predict my attack? However, you can't resist my attack anyway."

Before he finished speaking, Naruto had already appeared behind Deidara, and stabbed Deidara with a kunai with chakra. Although Deidara was concentrating on preventing Naruto's attack, Naruto still swung the kunai and cut off Deidara's other arm. Deidara fell to the side, and Naruto's powerful strength made him roll far away. He tried to get up from the ground, with a trace of fear in his eyes.

If he only felt the difference in strength at the beginning, now he has almost lost his will to fight and just wants to run away. At this moment, Deidara has a hunch that even if he self-destructs, it will not have much effect. Having made up his mind, Deidara looked at the direction where Scorpion was fighting and said, "Brother Scorpion, I'm really sorry, I have to leave first." Then, Deidara's whole body began to swell, and he was about to explode in a blink of an eye.

Looking at Deidara in front of him, Naruto didn't care about anything else and used Flying Thunder God to avoid the explosion range. After the explosion, Deidara's figure had disappeared, but Naruto could still sense Deidara using the Sage Mode. Naruto shook his head and said, "Forget it, Deidara, I'll leave you to Sasuke."

When Naruto arrived at Sakura and Chiyo's place, he only saw puppets and puppet fragments all over the ground. Because of the Ningxian Seal Naruto gave her, Sakura was not seriously injured, and Chiyo was only slightly injured. Gaara was lying on a large rock not far away, breathing evenly, and he didn't seem to have any major problems.

Naruto gave Sakura a smile and said, "Well done, Sakura." Sakura was very excited to receive Naruto's affirmation, and was also glad that she had finally defeated an enemy like Scorpion. In a moment of excitement, Sakura suddenly hugged Naruto tightly, with tears flowing from the corners of her eyes. She said in an extremely excited tone: "Naruto, we finally defeated an enemy like Scorpion, and we were almost killed. If it weren't for you, Naruto, and Grandma Chiyo, we would have most likely already..."

Naruto said, "Speaking of which, Chiyo seems to be injured, let's treat her wound first. And Gaara also needs some rehabilitation treatment." Naruto's words suddenly woke Sakura up, and she looked at Chiyo who was sitting next to her and Gaara who was lying not far away. At this time, she realized that she was holding Naruto. Sakura's face immediately turned red, and she ran to Chiyo and said, "Chiyo, I will treat you first." As she said that, she secretly glanced at Naruto.

Naruto also found Sakura's expression a little funny. Just now, Sakura was so excited when she saw Naruto that she didn't pay attention for a while. Now she suddenly noticed and became embarrassed.

With Sakura's superb medical ninjutsu, Chiyo's not-too-serious injuries recovered quickly. Sakura continued to treat Gaara, while Chiyo looked at Naruto and smiled, "It seems that Sakura and you have a very good relationship. And the little girl's mind, after all, I was young once, so I know about this."

Seeing that Naruto had a complicated expression, Granny Chiyo said, "Little Naruto, although Sakura sometimes seems not so gentle, she is also a very good girl. Little Naruto, you have to know this, otherwise you will regret it in the future." As she said this, Granny Chiyo gave Naruto a meaningful smile.

Naruto didn't have much time to think about this issue for the time being. He just let everything take its course. After all, there were too many things that Naruto needed to do. Gaara's condition continued to improve under Sakura's careful treatment.

At this time, Kakashi and the others also ran over, and they all looked a little tired. It was obvious that fighting with another self consumed a lot of physical strength. But it can also be seen that Lee, Gai and the others are happy because they have surpassed themselves. Seeing Sakura and the others, Lee rushed to the front and shouted to Sakura: "Sakura, we have come to reinforce, where are the enemies? Where are they." While speaking, he looked around. Neci rushed over and said: "Lee, the enemies have all been eliminated. Didn't I tell you about this situation on the way?" Lee immediately turned around, bowed to Neci and said: "I'm sorry, seeing the wreckage on the ground, I forgot what Neci just said."

Kakashi looked around and said, "Naruto, it seems that you finally killed the enemy." Rock Lee said passionately, "Yoshi, Naruto has killed another member of Akatsuki. I have to work harder and must catch up with Naruto." Neji looked at Naruto. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear. Only Tiantian sighed silently.

Naruto shook his head and said, "No, it wasn't me who defeated Scorpion, but Sakura and Granny Chiyo. I heard from Granny Chiyo that Sakura's performance was very good." Granny Chiyo also nodded in agreement with Naruto.

After confirming the actual situation, Xiao Li said with an exaggerated expression: "I didn't expect that even Sakura has made such great progress. In comparison, my efforts are not enough. I must work harder after I go back. No! I must work ten times harder!" Ningji also looked at Sakura who was treating Gaara, and looked at her repeatedly. It was obvious that he also began to pay attention to female ninjas like Sakura.

Tenten was not so impressed with Naruto's strength before. Perhaps in her opinion, Naruto was too talented and there was no point in comparing with him. But now seeing Sakura's expression, her expression changed and she looked at Sakura in surprise. At the same time, she nodded secretly and followed Sakura's example.

Seeing that his disciples were full of fighting spirit, Kai nodded and looked at Naruto and thought to himself: "It seems that Naruto's progress has stimulated them. This is a good thing for them. It is easier to improve with competitors."

At this time, Gaara had slowly woken up under Sakura's treatment. Sakura helped him sit up and said, "You are still very weak, don't move too violently." Gaara looked at Naruto and said, "Naruto, thank you, this time I owe you another favor, a big favor."

Naruto walked over, squatted down and said: "Gaara, I have already regarded you as a friend. It is natural for friends to help each other. There is no need to say more words of thanks. If you say too much, it will seem strange." Gaara looked at Naruto and wanted to say something. Naruto said: "Gaara, you just woke up, there are many things we can talk about later. You should have a good rest first." Gaara nodded, said nothing more, but his eyes showed gratitude.
