Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 245 The two confirm their relationship!! (4K)

For example, when Pillar started recounting his experiences working alongside Orochimaru.

It was clear that almost everyone in the room was watching him with intense focus.

It's like listening to a storyteller, unparalleled!
Although his storytelling ability is average, the stories themselves are mildly bizarre.

Especially the younger kids in the audience, they listened with a mixture of fear and longing; I even suspect they'll defect from Konoha tomorrow. (Cross out the entire sentence)

Then I heard Hanabi next to me say with a sigh: Sasuke's experiences are really bizarre...

I joked with her, asking if she really admired him, and she blushed bright red and whispered, "No, no, no, I admire Naruto-sama more."

Laugh to death.

However, there are many similar conversations. For example, Yusuke would make a point of toasting me, and Tori Kaze would also come over to say hello to me.

I suddenly realized, isn't this just a secret meeting within Naruto's faction?
So that's why they came uninvited!
Of course, there is one more thing that is a little difficult to talk about.

As the party was nearing its end, I was chatting with Shikamaru when I felt someone pat me on the back.

I turned my head and saw Tian Tian looking at me awkwardly, pointing to the empty balcony, and then...

I noticed that Sakura's eyes also glanced over.

Oh my god!

Um, did she activate her killer instinct?
I feel a chill down my spine, and my head feels pointy...

But out of politeness and a sense of responsibility, I quietly gave Sakura a hand signal to indicate that everything was under control, and then went over with Tenten.

She dropped a bombshell right off the bat, asking: Is there still a chance for us?

Grass.

She must have heard about my relationship with Sakura, and I was indeed busy leveling up and fighting monsters a long time ago, plus Sakura's situation...

I very politely and gentlemanly said that these are all things of the past and we should look forward, and then I went on and on with some nonsense. Anyway, I said a bunch of random things.

Guess what she said?
"Naruto-kun, I don't want to give up on you... Please keep an eye on me from now on!"

Holy fucking shit.
Friends, I'm really in a hurry right now, what should I say? Waiting for an answer online??

And then something even more exciting happened.

I didn't know how to reply, so I probably... cough, I should say I glanced in Sakura's direction.

I'm not sure if I gave him a pleading look, but anyway,

She then walked over very decisively and forcefully joined the conversation!
No... it wasn't really joining, it was just that they came over without saying a word, grabbed my hand, and tried to leave.

I'm totally confused. Dude, when have you ever encountered this situation before?

Then Tian Tian grabbed my other hand, and we ended up in a tug-of-war.

What should I do? I looked into Sakura's eyes and felt that her gaze was particularly aggressive. Then she walked over and slapped Tenten's hand away.

Tian Tian felt wronged and raised her voice, questioning her about why she did this, saying that they were competing fairly!
Sakura laughed, and not just any kind of laugh, but a series of cold laughs.

She said, "What fairness? I have no idea what you're talking about?"
Do you know that you are seducing a married man?

Tian Tian: Huh?

Me: Huh?
Then I said, "I didn't think we were in that kind of relationship yet. Didn't you say you wanted to confirm my feelings or something?"

Before I could finish speaking, she immediately interrupted and said no! We've already confirmed our relationship!
His words were spoken with unwavering conviction, powerful and forceful, ruthless and decisive; they were also deeply moving, stirring and dramatic...

Sorry for misusing idioms.

In short, after Sakura's forceful intervention, we really did confirm our relationship as a couple.

Congratulations, Coca-Cola.

It was a bit hasty... I was thinking of carefully examining this lady's character after the finale, but, since I'm already here...

There's really no way around it; Sakura possesses superhuman strength, and I can't refuse.

If I don't agree, I'll definitely be taken care of; there's nothing I can do about it.

Then I'll reluctantly agree.

The most unavoidable episode.

Haha!

So what about our Comrade Tiantian?

I could see a strong sense of resentment in her eyes.

But as everyone knows, I was completely put on the hot seat at the time, so I didn't say anything more.

But the thought that Tian Tian had unintentionally forced this marriage together, and that she might continue to put pressure on Xiao Ying in the future, made me realize that Tian Tian might not be able to do so.

Hagiwara, you really...

However, putting aside this incident, the main theme of this team-building event still revolved around Sasuke.

There are many other details, which I will not recall here.

In short, these people from Naruto's faction have already established connections with Sasuke, so let's assume for now that he has a foothold in Konoha.

……

The fifth day since returning to Konoha.

Fallen leaves bring messages.

The Tsuchikage was not optimistic. He was unwilling to accept the claim that 'Uchiha Madara' was still alive, and when it came to the Akatsuki, Deidara was an unavoidable topic.

I only remembered it when I was online that Deidara was the apprentice of the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki.

The old man's words implied that he wanted to clean up the mess himself.

As for the threat posed by Madara Uchiha? That wasn't his primary concern.

You see, once a person hasn't been beaten for a while, they'll forget the fear that comes from the depths of their memory.

I thought about it for a moment, greeted Tsunade, and then spoke a few more words to the old man.

I told him that I had spent some time with the masked man who claimed to be Uchiha Madara, and he told me a lot of details about you.

Including how you were severely injured by Madara Uchiha back then, and how he called you 'the brat of the Two Hei family'.

Unfortunately, the intimidation effect was rather limited.

The old man was indeed lost in memories, but he believed that Naruto Uzumaki possessed a great deal of information, and it was entirely possible for him to exploit this information gap.

You know what, the old man was absolutely right.

So after the online meeting, I suggested to Tsunade that we hold a Five Kage Summit.

However, the Raikage must be informed to bring his younger brother along, just in case.

The same goes for Gaara; Temari and Kankuro are still not enough to fight. My idea is to replace them with Chiyo.

Let the senior figures help out and keep things in order.

Anyway, she's back in Sunagakure politics now.

Tsunade took my suggestion.

……

The speed at which I master Wind Release: Shuriken is incredible.

I can now reliably condense a shuriken. Although the reliably condensed time is short, it only takes a second or two to throw, which is more than enough.

I haven't neglected my practice of the hand seals for Wind Release: Vacuum Ball.

I practice Wind Release: Shuriken for a while, then Wind Release: Vacuum Ball for a while.

Although it might seem like I was trying to do too much at once, I did manage to use multiple shadow clones after all.

Practice generously and reap the rewards of your experience.

The only concern is fainting due to overexertion.

Therefore, I asked Sakura to help me make a special batch of soldier rations.

Thank goodness, she added a little sweetness...

It's not so bad that it's hard to swallow.

Would you say this counts as the sweetness of being in love?

……

Sixth day since returning to Konoha.

I never imagined this day would come so soon.

……

……

It was evening. Sasuke's house.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

Sasuke opened the door upon hearing the knock and saw Naruto carrying a bag of food, his expression complex.

"come in."

Sasuke gestured to Naruto that he could put the food on the table.

Naruto looked at the ninja tool bag placed on the sofa: "You just finished a mission?"

"Correct."

During this period, apart from the team building activity that night, he took on and completed a large number of tasks, all of which were completed solo.

This was not in accordance with the regulations, but considering Sasuke's special status and personality, the Konoha leadership discussed it and granted him certain privileges.

Of course, if this continues, the higher-ups will most likely transfer him to Konoha's Anbu.

Perhaps in the near future, the Konoha Police Department will be re-established.

The two sat at the dining table, looking at each other in silence, and finished the food that Naruto had brought.

"Are you planning to go to Ryuchi Cave again?" Naruto asked.

"Ah."

Sasuke's attitude remained unchanged: "You should know that there's a bounty mission in the village specifically targeting rogue ninja, right?"

Naruto thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, there are, but generally the village won't specifically send people to hunt down rogue ninja."

"We have limited manpower and are busy with village affairs. Besides, the projects I led in the past have already tied up too many people..."

Before he could finish speaking, Sasuke interrupted, "Naruto, I want more freedom in this matter."

Naruto blinked and suddenly understood what Sasuke meant.

"You want to be a bounty hunter?"

Actually, using "bounty hunter" doesn't quite fit the tone of the ninja world; describing Sasuke's plan as a pursuit force from Kirigakure would be more appropriate.

In short, he wanted to be in charge of hunting down Konoha's rogue ninja.

“I’m not after the bounty,” Sasuke slowly shook his head, “I just feel that the current village affairs are not suitable for me.”

"I don't like following the rules, and I don't want my life to be controlled by others, but Naruto, your existence makes me decide to stay in Konoha."

"Therefore, I need to strike a balance between Konoha and my own needs."

Naruto rested his chin on his hand: "So you chose to treat this as your duty, contributing to the village while retaining a considerable degree of freedom."

Sasuke leaned forward slightly and went a step further: "Naruto, I want to establish a Konoha rogue ninja pursuit unit."

Naruto paused, unsure of what to say.

Sasuke then changed the subject: "Did you know that Haku used to be part of the Kirigakure's pursuit force?"

Naruto suddenly realized: "Damn, you were actually influenced by Haku!"

After bringing Sasuke home in the early stages of Shippuden, he had Haku follow Sasuke around for a long time.

But this was just to ensure Sasuke wouldn't be captured by Orochimaru... I never expected it would cause such a change.

This is the butterfly effect...

Sasuke seemed to have anticipated Naruto's reaction and said calmly:

"I wasn't influenced by Bai, but rather inspired; I realized that pursuit could be a specialized profession,"

"The Hidden Mist Village places great importance on secrecy, which is why they have a pursuit force, but the Hidden Leaf Village has just as many rogue ninja as the Hidden Mist Village,"

"Think about it, is it really in our interest to allow Konoha's ninjutsu secrets to circulate in other countries?"

As he said this, Naruto was immediately reminded of one of Mei Terumi's bodyguards: Ao.

A ninja from Kirigakure who has mastered the Byakugan of Konoha.

Naruto pondered, "This is indeed a good idea."

Sasuke hates being tied down, so rather than keeping him in the village, he'd rather be running around the world chasing down rogue ninja.

But now there's a problem...

"Sasuke, your suggestion is good, but it's out of step with the times..."

Sasuke frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

"Because Konoha's recent foreign policy is to make intelligence more transparent, and to share the secrets of specific ninjas with the entire ninja world."

Naruto immediately explained his plans to Sasuke.

Sasuke fell silent. He didn't want to follow the rules, but he was even more unwilling to go against his friend's wishes.

"I understand... I won't bring this up again."

Naruto quickly reassured him, "Let's talk about it after this storm passes."

"Well, but if I'm going to Ryuchi Cave, I need to give the village a legitimate reason for leaving."

Sasuke has a ninja number in Konoha, so he can't just leave whenever he wants.

"So what are your plans?" Naruto asked, taking a sip of water.

"My original idea was to hunt Orochimaru."

"Huh...?" Naruto almost spat out the water.

"Don't worry, it's okay if I can't hunt Orochimaru. My main target is still Ryuchi Cave."

"Cough cough... No wonder you suggested forming a pursuit unit, they're all connected now," Naruto said, wiping his chin with a tissue.
"I'll talk to Tsunade."

Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Naruto. I owe you another favor."

"But Sasuke, there's something you need to know..."

Naruto paused, hesitant to speak, but considering the upcoming plot developments, he finally said:

"Is it best not to provoke Orochimaru?"

"Why?" Sasuke asked, puzzled.

"..."

Naruto couldn't explain it. He couldn't very well say, "If you kill Orochimaru, some kid who grew up in an orphanage will become confused about his own existence and then turn evil, right?"

Moreover, in the original work, Kabuto Yakushi actually advanced to become Sage Kabuto.

Killing Orochimaru would not only increase the difficulty of the Fourth Shinobi World War, but also create a new opponent for him.

Not worth the candle.

Naruto even suspected that, given the current state of the Akatsuki organization, even if they launched the Fourth Shinobi World War on the spot, they would be quickly brought back to their original state.

It's important to know that the Edo Tensei army was also a core force in the original work.

I have no idea what Obito was thinking in the original story. He dared to challenge the Five Kage even without Kabuto's Sage Mode.

Seeing Naruto's troubled expression, Sasuke didn't say anything more, but nodded to indicate that he would definitely do as he was told.

After dinner.

Sasuke cleared the dining table and then took out two brand-new dice cups from the drawer.

He just bought this today.

Sasuke gazed silently at Naruto: "Shall we begin now?"

Silence reigned all around.

Naruto paused, then said, "Are you sure, Sasuke? I wanted to give you more..."

"I know."

Sasuke's sudden interruption startled Naruto.

“I know you want to give me a few more days of peace, because this so-called game will eventually lead to heavy truths,”

"But I was born a member of the Uchiha clan and will die a member of the Uchiha clan. I have an obligation to know the truth about the Uchiha clan."

Naruto listened quietly to Sasuke's speech.

It turns out he knew everything.

Since that's the case... let's get straight to the point.

Naruto took out a dice cup and said, "Let's begin, Sasuke."

Truth or Dare.
