Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 236 A Conversation Between Men (4K)

To be honest, Deidara is still unhappy with what Naruto said.

But he did not blame Ah Fei.

He just realized that Naruto Uzumaki was just using a low-level provocation tactic.

He doesn't understand Ah Fei, nor does he understand his own abilities; he's just an arrogant fool.

Therefore, after he kills the ice-style ninja in front of him, he will make Naruto Uzumaki pay a hundredfold!
"Understood, senior. I'll go right away!"

The masked man jumped and leaped after him. Upon seeing this, Bai immediately condensed water vapor, while Deidara leaped onto the dragon's back, retracted his tail, and suddenly spat out a huge amount of clay!

"Whoosh!!"

Bai ignored him and manipulated the water vapor to attack the masked man, but the next moment, the water vapor carrying chakra passed through the masked man's body.

He saw this, his eyes narrowed, and he rolled over to dodge the incoming white clay.

Haku recalled what Naruto had just said:

"Only one person is crucial."

He dodged two fatal attacks in a row, yet acted like a naive child.

“Naruto-kun is right... that masked man is not simple.”

……

On Naruto and Sasuke's side.

The two men and two dogs quickened their pace, and all that could be heard was the sound of their footsteps on the tree trunks and the sparse sound of the wind.

Naruto had Sasuke walk in front of him, while he kept an eye on what was happening behind him.

Sasuke's gaze, however, unconsciously drifted towards Naruto's direction.

"Naruto."

"what happened?"

Sasuke hesitated, then paused and asked when Naruto looked at him:

"How do you know so much?"

"Know what?" Naruto raised an eyebrow.

Sasuke turned his head back, letting the trees on both sides keep receding: "I know... this information."

Naruto remained silent, but Pakkun spoke up: "Sasuke, you probably don't know what Naruto has been doing in the village these past few years, do you?"

"He is now the chief advisor of the Konoha Mental Cult and enjoys high prestige among the villagers and the Anbu,"

"It's normal to have the means to obtain this intelligence."

To Pakkun and Siba, Naruto was undoubtedly a towering and mysterious figure.

To them, Sasuke's question was like asking: Why was the First Hokage able to pacify Konoha?

Because it's very strong, what other reason could there be?
But Sasuke, seeing that Naruto lacked such a halo, clearly thought about things more deeply:
"First it was Itachi, and now it's this masked man... You always know more than I do."

He said this in a declarative sentence, but it sounded like a question.

Naruto fell silent, watching Sasuke's retreating figure, realizing that the pillar was already experiencing some emotions.

However, this emotion is very subtle, and ordinary people would not be able to detect it unless they know him very well.

Naruto said slowly, "What do you want to know from me...? I can share information with you depending on the situation."

Upon hearing this, even Parker and Siba perked up their ears.

The information that Naruto Uzumaki uttered must be invaluable; this trip has truly been a profitable one.

Sasuke paused, then said one word:

"you."

"Me?" Naruto found it somewhat amusing. "What do you mean 'me'? Is this the first time you, Uchiha Sasuke, have met me?"

To everyone's surprise, Sasuke said quietly, "Why not? I feel like I don't understand you at all, I don't even know what you're thinking."

"What I'm thinking about right now is that after you get your revenge, you have to obediently come back to the village with me."

Sasuke shook his head: "That's not what you really think."

"Then tell me what I'm thinking?"

"I do not know."

""

Naruto was speechless. Sasuke's reaction was just like some of those "people who make you guess what they're thinking when they're angry" online.

How would I know if you didn't tell me!
But Naruto could roughly understand Sasuke's needs:
Naruto Uzumaki kept too many things from Sasuke, and Sasuke felt that since Naruto was playing the role of his older brother, he should be completely honest with him.

The current way they interact makes Sasuke feel awkward.

But Naruto also has his own difficulties. He can't very well tell Sasuke that he and the ninja world were actually made up by a guy named Masashi Kishimoto, can he?
If I were told that I was created by Nuwa, wouldn't that be...?

It doesn't seem to matter.

Naruto coughed and said to Sasuke, "How about this, Sasuke?"

"After we've finished with this revenge, let's play a game."

"A game?" Sasuke asked, puzzled.

"That's right, the game is called 'Truth or Dare',"

"We roll the dice to guess high or low, and the loser can choose one of truth or dare..."

After he explained, Sasuke and Er Gou both fell silent.

This unconventional approach left them speechless for a moment.

Parker couldn't help but ask, "Is there any special significance to this game?"

"Heh, you might not know, but he should understand immediately..."

Naruto then looked at Sasuke and asked, "Isn't that right?"

After a long silence, Sasuke nodded.

"It's a deal, Naruto."

He not only wants to play the game, but he also wants to win it.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from behind.

"Wait! Don't go yet!"

Naruto's eyelids twitched; the masked man had caught up. White had indeed failed to stop him after all.

He immediately said to Sasuke, "Sasuke, you and Pakkun go first, I'll hold off the masked man."

"Remember, if you encounter him later, do not believe anything he says."

Sasuke glanced at the masked man's comical movements and a sense of worry rose in his heart.

But he was not an indecisive person, and immediately sped up, leaving the place with Parker and Siba.

Naruto instantly extended a tail from his tailbone, then leaped onto a tree trunk, grabbed the trunk with his tail, and spun 180 degrees to the opposite side, facing the masked man head-on.

"Buzz-"

The next moment, Naruto instantly condensed a Rasengan in his hand, wrapped his body in the Nine-Tails' cloak, and then had the Nine-Tails' chakra hand take over the Rasengan, smashing it towards the masked man!

"boom!!"

The area where the masked man was located was instantly smashed into a mess, with tree branches and fragments flying everywhere, tree trunks breaking, and thick white smoke billowing up.

"Show yourself now, stop playing these empty tricks."

Naruto stood in front, his cold eyes fixed on the distance, while inwardly instructing his main body to keep track of the masked man's location. "You spotted me, huh?"

The masked man "grew" out of the tree trunk, tilted his head and looked at Naruto: "As expected of Konoha's future star, where is Uzumaki Naruto!"

The next moment, Naruto's words made the masked man pause: "Turn off your White Zetsu voice, let's talk."

The masked man fell silent, but a wave of emotions surged within him.

I had long heard that Naruto Uzumaki's intelligence-gathering abilities were unparalleled in the ninja world, but I never expected that even this little bit of his secret could be uncovered.

What is his background?
The masked man rolled up his sleeves slightly, cracked his neck, and said in a deep voice:
"Interesting, very interesting, Naruto Uzumaki..."

This time, the voice that came out of his mouth was Madara Uchiha's deep, magnetic voice.

“That’s really interesting…” Naruto nodded in agreement. “Actually, I’ve wanted to ask you this for a long time… how did you manage to imitate Madara Uchiha’s voice?”

The masked man's eye twitched, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. The next moment, Naruto said, "Or are you really Uchiha Madara?"

"Who knows?"

The masked man revealed a chain from his sleeve. Naruto chuckled and pointed at the chain with great interest, saying:

"Impressive, daring to show off like this in front of me. Don't you want your own hands anymore?"

"Maybe it'll be your hand that gets severed!" The masked man lunged at Naruto, who threw a Flying Thunder God kunai at his face.

"Whoosh!"

The masked man's pupils contracted sharply as he looked at Naruto, the scene from the past seeming to replay before his eyes.

This scene seemed to be a replica of the duel between Minato Namikaze and himself back then, except that it wasn't on flat ground, but in the middle of a tree trunk.

But he couldn't stop moving, so he simply charged at Naruto and let the Flying Thunder God kunai pierce through his head.

Just as Naruto's body was about to pierce through the masked man's body, Naruto was instantly enveloped in Nine-Tails chakra, and a large chakra hand grabbed the chains behind him!

Then, the masked man's body was violently flung to the ground!
"boom!!"

The masked man's body was slammed into the ground like a cannonball, leaving a deep crack in the ground!

Then, Naruto, who was still in the air, spread the Nine-Tails' chakra wings, flapped them, and flew to a tree trunk in an instant.

Those who don't know might think it's wings formed from fighting spirit.

The next moment, he saw a familiar distorted space appear on the tree trunk opposite him, from which the masked man emerged.

Unlike before, this time he revealed his crimson three-tomoe Sharingan to Naruto.

"Brilliant!" The masked man clapped repeatedly. "You're even better than Minato Namikaze back then."

The tone conveyed clear appreciation and affirmation.

"I wouldn't dare say that..." Naruto said calmly, "I wouldn't presume to say I did better than my father, after all, he made you suffer a lot back then."

"Having one of my hands broken by the Rasengan, and having my connection with the Nine-Tails broken by a sealing technique... Tsk tsk, I still haven't finished learning the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques."

The masked man was about to speak, but then fell silent again.

He had to admit that Naruto Uzumaki's methods of applying pressure were unique in the entire ninja world.

No one has ever been able to exert pressure on the enemy by exploiting intelligence gaps like he has.

Even the most skilled sensory ninjas cannot do that.

But Naruto Uzumaki did it.

Obito Uchiha admitted that this was probably the strongest enemy he had ever encountered.

"You seem to know a lot about my story. I'm curious, how much do you know about our Akatsuki organization?" The masked man tried to extract information from Naruto.

Naruto looked at him and chuckled, "You're trying to trick me into telling you something?"

"No problem, but you have to offer the same information in exchange."

The masked man narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected Naruto to choose to exchange information with him.

His mind raced as he carefully considered Naruto's words, trying to understand his intentions.

Unfortunately, he knew too little about Naruto, and no matter how he speculated, his claims were unfounded.

For Naruto, exchanging information with the masked man was a sure-fire way to make money.

"How about this, I'll ask you a question, and you'll ask me a question. We can both choose whether or not to answer, how about that?"

He wanted to play a truth-or-dare game with the masked man.

Naruto smiled and asked, "Let me ask first: Which tailed beast is Akatsuki's next target?"

The correct answer to this question will allow Naruto to predict how the story will unfold.

The masked man felt a chill run down his spine. This question was very targeted, and it didn't seem like he was acting.

He tentatively asked, "Are you going to launch a defensive counterattack based on my reply?"

"Is this your problem?" Naruto raised an eyebrow.

The masked man was silent for a moment, then said, "No, of course not... I'm just curious how you're going to verify the truth of the answer?"

What if I'm lying to you?

"Then how come you didn't know I had lie detectors?" Naruto shook his head with a smile. "How do you think I obtained so much accurate information?"

In fact, Naruto does have someone who could be considered a lie detector: Naruto Uzumaki himself.

If I lie, perhaps I can sense even more malice emanating from the enemy.

Of course, this is just Naruto's guess.

But in any case, he had to appear confident so that the masked man would be more inclined not to lie.

"Alright, it's your turn to ask. I'll decide whether to answer based on the content of your question," Naruto urged the masked man.

He wanted to use this pressure to put further pressure on the masked man and gain more psychological advantage.

"..." The masked man did not make any rash moves. He did not ask any questions immediately, but instead said in a deep voice, "I think you probably won't answer my question."

"Oh, so you're starting to put pressure on me now, huh...?" Naruto's eyes darted around, and he said, "Speak."

A hint of mockery flashed in the masked man's eyes: "What are your methods for obtaining information?"

Naruto was taken aback, then heard the masked man chuckle: "Can't answer? I can answer the question you just asked."

"Or are you unable to answer? Heh, so-called intelligence masters are nothing special."

In that instant, Naruto's mind was clear.

This guy didn't want to exchange information with him at all; he just wanted to find an opportunity to humiliate him.

But Naruto would not do as he wished.

He looked at the masked man and said leisurely, "Of course, I can tell you right now."

"What?" The masked man was stunned, but quickly said, "Fine, let's see what you have to say!"

Naruto grinned: "All the information was given to me by the 'god' who created this world."

The masked man was stunned again.

From Naruto's perspective, the 'god' who created this world is Kishimoto Masashi. As a reader, he looks at the past and future of the ninja world from God's point of view, so how can it be said that his answer is wrong?
"Are you playing me?" The masked man's tone was tinged with anger.

Naruto's smile grew even wider: "Why would I lie to you? Doesn't your organization have a 'god' in it?"

"And isn't the plan your organization is about to implement essentially about bringing about a miracle?"

Naruto was referring to Obito's Eye of the Moon plan.

His explanation successfully created a sense of confusion in the masked man.
