Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 20: Sakura's right eyelid twitching again
Naruto instinctively had a bad feeling: "No trace of Bai?"

"I did find him," Parker said with an awkward expression. "But Blue was spotted by Bai when he was retreating. As you know, he's quite large..."

Naruto's expression froze: "Blue is the biggest one with the most flesh on his face?"

"Yes. And when Blue came back, he said that Zabuza came out with a big sword, and it scared him so much that it canceled its summons on the spot."

Xiaoying frowned slightly. "That means his injuries are almost healed... Strange, according to the timeline, it should take a few more days?"

Naruto's face darkened, "It's Cardo. He's probably asked someone to help Zabuza recover quickly."

He informed his coworkers of their situation in detail, and they all looked grim.

Sakura was silent for a moment, then broke the silence: "Look at the bright side, at least we knew about Zabuza's recent situation in advance, so we won't be caught off guard."

Sasuke rubbed his hands together and smiled faintly: "Now, I really want to have a sparring match with that guy."

Naruto glanced at him. The guy Sasuke was talking about should be Bai.

Having said that, after witnessing Naruto and Haku's methods some time ago, Sasuke's middle school second-year aura has faded a lot, and he has practiced a lot harder.

Now, the sky is clear and the rain has stopped, and Zhuzi feels that he is fine again.

Naruto thought that being beaten by a strong man was indeed the fate of Jizu, and then patted his shoulder with relief: "When the time comes, you can go and fight Bai in single combat."

Sasuke said nothing, just snorted.

The three of them and the dog began to transport the food back in an orderly manner. On the way, they checked the list of relatives and friends that Naruto had obtained, knocked out all the mercenaries patrolling the road and tied them up, and threw some food into the yard of the workers.

There were the most mercenaries around Daz's old home. The three of them decided to go all out and tied up all the mercenaries and threw them into Daz's home.

However, this is just drinking poison to quench thirst. As long as Cardo is not eliminated, the Kingdom of Wave will never have peace.

The group of relatives and friends began to show their prowess, Zabuza recovered from his serious illness, and a storm was about to come.

……

In the living room of Daz's new home, under the dim light.

"Let's do it tomorrow."

Kakashi put his cane aside and spoke solemnly to the others.

"The longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it will be. With Cardo's methods, it's only a matter of time before he brainwashes the people again."

Naruto agreed with Kakashi. Although Kado was not strong in terms of military power, he had a lot of money. At most, he could just purchase another batch of food.

Sakura thought for a moment and said, "Naruto, when will the Konoha support you mentioned arrive?"

"Maybe it'll just be these next two days, but I'm not sure about the specifics. Boss, what are your plans?"

Kakashi looked around at the three of them and said, "Right now, Zabuza and the masked child are the biggest threats. Since we already know their whereabouts, we will find an opportunity to raid them tomorrow. After we have dealt with them, we will implement the 'decapitation' plan on Cardo."

easy to understand.

Sasuke couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this plan too simple?"

"No, I agree with the boss's idea," Naruto shook his head. "The more complicated the plan, the more links need to be considered. If something goes wrong in one link, the entire plan will be ruined."

Kakashi smiled and nodded, "That's exactly the point."

Sasuke was surprised. Before, he was only outshined by Naruto in terms of fighting power, but how come now he was even better than him in strategy?
As if noticing Sasuke's look, Naruto said calmly: "Brother Pillar, if you are new, just practice more."

"Naruto, try saying that again!"

Naruto yawned but didn't respond. Seeing this, Sasuke's eyes grew even colder.

"Stop! If you say another word I'm going to beat you up." Sakura calmly stopped the two of them.

The two of them shuddered at the same time and then gave up.

Sasuke prides himself on his overall strength, but during this period, he has only become more wary of Sakura.

The reason is simple. Sakura has made great progress in both super strength and water-style jutsu. Sasuke once saw her smash a huge rock with her bare hands.

"Even before, I could only crack it..." At that moment, Sasuke's heart was in turmoil. He also began to inwardly follow, and began to practice fire escape techniques whenever he had time. In short, the fighting power of the three people had made Kakashi feel that he was unable to control it.

"I have another question," Sakura suddenly asked, "Do we need to leave someone behind here?"

Kakashi pondered for a moment and said, "Sakura, can you stay here and protect Mr. Daz and the others?"

"Okay." Sakura nodded without any hesitation.

"Then I'm relieved." Kakashi signaled everyone to prepare their personal belongings and set off early tomorrow morning.

After the meeting, Naruto couldn't help but find Sakura and whispered, "Hey, what do you think? Don't you want to do the dungeon anymore?"

He thought that based on the temperament of Sakura, a hardcore Soul Game player, she would have to personally teach Cardo a lesson, right?

"Sasuke needs Haku's secret technique to stimulate his eyes to open. You and Kakashi are here too, so they can't make any waves." Sakura responded calmly.

"Also, I always feel like something's wrong. Cardo clearly knows about our existence, yet he still develops so many close relationships with us. I suspect he has other motives."

"So I have to stay here. If Daz is caught by his relatives, then everything will be over."

Naruto also hesitated after hearing this, but he couldn't think of what tricks Cardo could play.

Maybe it's just that Miss Haruno Sakura is being too cautious?

Naruto pretended to be relaxed and said, "I think you may have been too nervous due to the intense training these days and the matter of your close friend."

"Why don't we talk about something lighter, um..."

"for example?"

"For example, let's talk about you, yes! I remember I haven't seen what you looked like in your previous life." Naruto blinked.

"How about this, we both use the Transformation Technique to see what the other person looks like, and then we can just pretend we're meeting each other in person in another world?"

"No."

"What's the matter? Are you really ugly? Don't worry, I'm not obsessed with appearances."

"If you say no, then no."

Naruto scratched his head. The more Sakura acted like this, the more curious he became about her true appearance. He began to pace back and forth.

"I'll cover your food expenses for this month!"

“…I have parents who will cook for me.”

"Oh, I forgot. Otherwise, just tell me the number and I'll go buy a lottery ticket!"

Naruto suddenly thought of the Naruto in the original work, who was very lucky in terms of wealth and could win the prize by just buying a lottery ticket.

"I can make money myself." Sakura clearly refused and said she would not spend a man's money.

Next, Naruto proposed no less than ten plans, until Sakura wanted to give Naruto a head massage, and he gave up in disappointment.

"Hey, this shyness is definitely a woman's. At least that rules out option '0'."

The next morning.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi are all ready.

Before setting off, Kakashi repeatedly reminded them: "When you encounter the enemy later, you must obey my command and don't act on your own like last time."

"Don't worry, boss."

"Set off."

Sakura looked at the three of them, her right hand gently touching her cheek.

Her right eyelid started twitching again.
