Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 260 Naruto: We've been tricked!
Konan saw the giant weasel attacking and instantly split herself in two to dodge the fatal blow.

Although she reacted quickly, the white paper that was close to the Kamaitachi was still torn to shreds!
With the blessing of the immortal magic, countless serrations appeared all over the Kamaitachi's body. Upon closer inspection, it was found that the original thin wind blades had been magnified several times, upgrading the wind blades with a single cutting angle into multi-angled sharp blades!

It's similar to upgrading all the thorns on a cactus into chainsaws, further compressing the enemy's dodge angles.

Konan turned repeatedly, reuniting her fragmented body into one, and folded a significant portion of the white paper into sharp spikes, which she then fiercely stabbed at the masked wind ninja in front of her!
The Dance of Shikigami – this is the source of Konan's confidence to fight while retreating.

"boom!!"

The Kamaitachi destroyed everything in its path, instantly creating a clearing in the forest, through which sunlight pierced and shone upon Konan and Naruto.

Naruto's eyes flashed, and he immediately pulled out a scroll, instantly summoning countless shuriken and kunai, which he then hurled at Konan!

The shuriken and kunai were particularly dazzling under the sunlight, appearing from Konan's perspective like countless stars appearing in broad daylight, causing her pupils to shrink involuntarily.

"Fuck-"

Naruto suddenly pulled his hand back, and the shuriken began to change direction, blocking Konan's escape route!

He calculated that Konan couldn't see the wire behind the shuriken, so he boldly used the simplest shuriken-handling technique to cut off her escape route.

At the same time, he summoned a shadow clone and had it continue to form hand seals. This time, he was going to use the Immortal Technique: Vacuum Jade to severely injure Xiao Nan in one go!

suddenly,

Naruto felt a movement beneath his feet. He looked down and saw that sheets of white paper had somehow adhered to his legs and were spreading rapidly up his waist like a virus!
Upon closer inspection, explosive tags were found interspersed among the papers, and Xiao Nan in the distance was already forming a hand seal, ready to detonate at any moment.

This was a trap she set on Naruto and Shino's pursuit route. Therefore, she kept attracting attention in order to make Naruto ignore the ground beneath his feet.

Shino's eyelids twitched suddenly. Without saying a word, he immediately sent the swarm of parasitic insects toward Naruto!
He was going to sacrifice his insects to help Naruto bite through the explosive tags, but he was running out of time because it would be difficult for him to outrun Konan.

Naruto simply shook his head at Shino.

"Explode!" Konan said coldly, and then saw white light emanating from Naruto's body!

Suddenly,

Do not know why,

Xiao Nan was surprised to find that her vision blurred, and when she looked at her body, she saw countless wind blades shredding the white paper on her body, as if her entire body was being forced into a paper shredder!
Then, Naruto and Shino appeared on her left. He lowered his hand and gave Shino a wink. Shino understood and immediately released the secret technique, Insect Ball, in an attempt to envelop Konan's body!

The offensive and defensive momentum is different!

"This is..." Xiao Nan looked confused, but then he saw the kunai carved into the tree trunk beside him, and a strange talisman next to the kunai.

"Illusion... Why am I under an illusion?" Xiao Nan was shocked and confused about the situation.

The genjutsu she was just under came from one of the kunai that Naruto threw at her, and behind that kunai was a genjutsu talisman that Naruto had prepared for her.

This is an upgraded version of the shuriken technique. Naruto first used sunlight to blind Konan, making her mistakenly believe that Naruto wanted to use an illusion on her.

Then, Naruto pulled the wire and nailed a kunai to the tree trunk next to Konan. As long as she pays attention to dodging these kunai and shuriken, she will most likely make eye contact with the illusion talisman.

As soon as they make eye contact, an illusion will be cast, and the defeat will be inevitable.

Without the Nine-Tails' chakra or the aid of Sage Mode, it is essentially still a combination of talismans and shuriken.

Excellent ninjas use secret techniques and bloodline limits to overwhelm their enemies, while top-tier ninjas simply combine existing methods.

True skill lies in simplicity, and a heavy sword has no edge.

"Buzz-"

Countless parasitic insects enveloped Xiao Nan's body, gnawing at the white paper on her body, trying to completely erase it.

Naruto stepped forward, deliberately changing his tone and lowering his voice, and said, "Release your Paper Release jutsu, or you'll be bitten to death by these bugs."

Konan felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this. She knew that Konoha possessed a great deal of information about the Akatsuki, but she hadn't expected them to know so much about their own methods.

"So it was you who killed Hidan and Kakuzu?" Konan didn't dispel the spell, but calmly asked in return.

Naruto shook his head: "You are not qualified to ask questions."

"Even if I kill you right here, it won't stop me from continuing to track down Pain... no, Nagato."

Naruto tried to put psychological pressure on Konan, and he knew very well where Konan's weakness lay.

It's Nagato.

As expected, Xiao Nan visibly panicked, her eyes twitched, her lips trembled slightly, and a sense of fear welled up in her heart.

She had to admit that this was a sense of oppression that even Jiraiya-sensei had never given her.

It was as if she wasn't the big boss, but the wind-style ninja in front of her was.

"Who...who are you, and why do you serve under Konoha?"

She couldn't understand why someone like that would become Konoha's henchman. Shouldn't top-tier individuals have lofty ambitions?

Naruto remained silent, but then he suddenly noticed something amiss.

He sensed another trace of Xiao Nan.

In Sage Mode, Naruto possesses extraordinary sensory abilities. In the original story, he was able to sense Kakashi's death the instant he was teleported back to Konoha.

The Konan in front of her was not the real Naruto, but a paper clone. No wonder she was so confident and continued to try to get information out of Naruto.

"Since that's the case, then I'll mislead you a bit." Naruto let his voice become a little hoarse: "A desperado like you wouldn't understand my ambitions."

After saying that, his tone suddenly became fanatical: "I do not serve Konoha. To be frank, there is nothing in Konoha that I would be attached to."

Xiao Nan held her breath as she watched this master of Wind Release reveal his 'true feelings':
"The person I serve is not Konoha, but Naruto Uzumaki, a martyr who stands at the pinnacle of the ninja world and harbors a grand ambition!"

Konan's eyes slowly widened as she listened to the man continue, "Why do I call him a martyr? Because he was willing to die to prolong the life of this corrupt ninja world!"

The main purpose of this move is to differentiate between Naruto Uzumaki and the Wind Release masters, establishing completely different character settings.

A powerful but somewhat eccentric and delusional Wind Release ninja would likely be easily accepted by the Akatsuki organization, a stronghold of delusional behavior.

Naruto spoke with great enthusiasm, while simultaneously searching for the location of his real Konan in his mind and paying attention to the clone's reaction.

Xiao Nan listened quietly to his speech, keenly catching the adjective 'decaying', and decided to try her hand at verbal persuasion.

"Sir, since you also acknowledge that the ninja world is corrupt, why don't you follow my lord and let this world experience pain directly?"

These words nearly gave Naruto a heart attack; his expression froze, and if he hadn't been wearing a mask, he probably would have been exposed on the spot.

It shouldn't be hard for everyone to understand that it's indeed a bit difficult for Naruto, with his modern soul, to have an awkward conversation with these chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferers.

But the persona must be maintained.

"Heh," Naruto shook his head slightly, disdainfully saying, "To me, the ideology of Akatsuki is more foul than excrement."

"Stop trying to brainwash me with these childish ideas,"

After saying that, he fixed his eyes on Konan and said, "By the way, Naruto once explained a concept to me that you might be interested in learning about—terrorism."

"Your claims are nothing more than creating global tragedies so that the world can understand and grow,"

"Anyone who has studied even a little history knows that ninjas have never learned from history, so your Akatsuki's claims are meaningless."

After thoroughly discrediting Nagato's ideology, Naruto then took the opportunity to deliver a further blow to Obito's ideology:

"Oh, right, and the Eye of the Moon Project... Putting everyone into the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi? Do you believe that will work, or do you believe I'm Hashirama Senju?"

After saying that, Naruto gave Asano a wink, and the latter snapped his fingers, instantly devouring Konan's paper clone.

Shino, his brows furrowed, turned to Naruto: "Naruto, so this is how you actually see the ninja world..."

"Shino."

"how?"

Have you located her?

"...Locked out, let's go."

The two continued their journey, increasing their speed.

At this moment, Naruto's Sage Mode timer expired, and he returned to his original state. He and Shino then headed towards the direction he had just remembered.

Meanwhile, a similar scene was unfolding at the place where Sakura was chasing.

……

Deep in the forests of the Land of Fire.

Sakura looked at the Konan paper clone, which was soaked with countless drops of water vapor, and asked coldly, "Where is Gaara?"

As she spoke, she instantly transformed the water vapor into sharp blades, cutting away a large amount of white paper and making Xiao Nan's face turn ugly.

With each batch of blank paper removed, her spell weakens by one point, until Sakura releases the spell and uses her water blade to cut it to pieces.

Just then, Puck, who was standing next to Sakura, suddenly walked over and said to her:
"I smell the enemy again. Should we give chase now?"

Sakura frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss.

If the delay is only at the level of paper clones, then the Akatsuki organization is underestimating Konoha far too much.

Sakura doesn't believe that the leader of Akatsuki and Konan are naive fools.

The next moment, she quickly realized everything: "So you were just bluffing, deliberately making us capture you so we could torture you and buy you time?"

Before Xiao Nan could explain, she turned all the water vapor into sharp blades, completely slicing Xiao Nan's paper clone into pieces!

"let's go!"

Sakura, Kakashi, and Haku immediately rushed in the direction Puck was heading.

It was dusk.

The three-person team successfully reunited with Naruto and Shino somewhere in the forest.

They looked at the Akatsuki robes hanging on the tree trunk, then at Naruto.

The latter hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"We were fooled."
