Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 301 Sage Fox Naruto, here I come!
Naruto's vision blurred, and he found himself on the rooftop where he had introduced himself.

Kakashi, who wasn't in much spirits; Sasuke, who looked gloomy; and Sakura, who was as aloof as an iceberg.

There was also a boy named Naruto who was a head shorter than him in front of him.

"Why did my psychological trauma persist even before I transmigrated?" Naruto frowned slightly, looking thoughtfully at the little Naruto in front of him.

"...Why did I say I like Master Kong beef noodles?" Naruto asked with a smile.

"Because life was really terrible. During those toughest days, every meal consisted of instant noodles and eggs, with a handful of vegetables if possible."

"Ichiraku Ramen is still the best, right?" Little Naruto suddenly turned his head and looked at Naruto.

Naruto paused, then suddenly understood his past self.

The reason I brought these things up was to emphasize that I just wanted to lie low and didn't want to fight for supremacy in the ninja world, even mentioning the strange element of the Jonin system...

It's because I've already been defeated by life, but I still hold onto some past events.

"I now deeply understand the saying that 'a doctor cannot heal himself'."

Naruto sighed and began looking around for a way out.

He is different now than before.

Naruto turned his head, suddenly ignoring the others, and asked, "Why?"

"Why not just stay put? Or is there something wrong with the world of illusions?"

Naruto turned his head and glanced at the little Naruto: "Because I really almost..."

"We were almost able to completely destroy the ninja world."

It's like a guy who, without relying on guides or the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, fought his way through all the levels to reach the final boss's door, only to be instantly killed by the boss in a few moves.

While waiting to be resurrected, will he choose to quit the game or persevere until he finishes it?

“Giving up also takes courage; there’s no inherent superiority of one over the other.” Naruto shook his head.

Naruto remained silent and finally found a door behind the rooftop, along with a crowbar next to it.

This seems to be the way out of the illusion.

He simply picked up the crowbar and began to carefully pry open the door, but the door seemed to be harder than he had imagined.

"You're such a contradiction," Little Naruto said, leaning against the wall as he watched Naruto try repeatedly, gradually becoming drenched in sweat.

"They say they want to relax, but when they actually start working, they're more energetic than anyone else."

“Human nature is all about double standards,” Naruto wiped his sweat and turned to little Naruto: “Are you going to help or keep making sarcastic remarks?”

"Making sarcastic remarks."

"..."

Naruto turned his head and continued to pry open the door.

"Crack!"

Naruto used too much force, causing the crowbar to break in two.

He dropped the crowbar and used his hands to pry open the door crack, which had widened a bit. Suddenly, Naruto spoke up.

"It's no use. This door is just like your life—awkward and hypocritical. It will never be opened!"

"boom!"

Naruto slammed his fist on the doorway, then looked at the little Naruto with a hint of anger.

A few seconds later, he took a few deep breaths and said in a deep voice:

"The reason I'm considering giving up is because I've tried so hard to change things on Earth, but with little success,"

“I’m not giving up now because I really can change the situation,”

"I don't lie down because I like it. Do you think I eat instant noodles every day because I like them?"

Little Naruto pursed his lips, watching Naruto walk forward:
"So you either stop making sarcastic remarks to help, or you take a punch from me, understand?"

Little Naruto stared at Naruto, nodded, and stepped forward, reaching his hand through the crack in the door, trying to find the handshake on the other side.

next moment,
suddenly!

"puff!!"

Naruto looked down and saw that one end of the crowbar had emerged from his abdomen!
He looked at Naruto with surprise, who said coldly, "There's a saying, 'Practice makes perfect.'"

"If this were my first time dealing with my inner demons, I might have genuinely thought you were just a projection of my inner world, but now, ha,"

All I can say is that you need more sophisticated disguise techniques.

When he was trapped in the illusion, the illusions of his friends and family repeatedly sent negative influences to Naruto. Isn't that the same as the methods of his inner demons?

To everyone's surprise, Naruto laughed: "You succeeded this time, but what about next time? And the time after that? You need to succeed every time, but I only need to succeed once."

"A person is the sum of all their past experiences, and therefore, inner demons can never be completely eliminated. When one inner demon dies, a new inner demon will emerge in the next stage of life."

Naruto said expressionlessly, "Then let's fight to the bitter end."

With that, he suddenly pulled backward, pulling out Naruto's intestines!
At the same time, the entire illusion suddenly collapsed!
"boom!!"

Naruto's vision blurred, and he saw his true form lying in a black mist within his mental space.

He took three steps at a time, carried the main body on his back, and rushed towards the direction away from the black mist.

beep, beep...

"Naruto?!"

Nine-Tails' voice echoed in the mental space, its tone revealing unease.

It panicked a little, not finding any trace of Naruto. It thought that Naruto couldn't withstand its influence and something serious had happened to him.

The two, one human and one beast, are now in a mutually dependent relationship; if Naruto dies, the beast will likely not be able to withstand Madara's encirclement and attack. Naruto laid the beast flat on the ground and gently patted its face a few times.

After a while, the original body coughed violently under Naruto's attempt, exhaled several breaths of black vapor, and then opened its eyes.

"I... I've fainted?"

The main body pinched the space between Naruto's brows, and Naruto nodded, asking, "What did you see?"

"Hmm..." The original body seemed to be thinking: "I saw a young man with red eyes who had no whites in his eyes, only black ones. He looked exactly like me, and his abilities were exactly the same."

Naruto suddenly realized: "This is the 'Dark Naruto' I told you about before, so that makes sense."

This crisis stemmed from the hatred and resentment overflowing from the Nine-Tailed Fox.

They simultaneously triggered the inner demons of both the transmigrated Naruto and the original Naruto, causing the original Naruto to be unable to suppress his inner demons, thus trapping both of them in an illusion.

If Naruto had made a wrong move, his ninja adventures would have truly come to an end.

"You rest here for a bit, I'll go say hello to Kurama." Naruto strode away and soon saw Kurama with a furious expression.

"Hey!"

He opened his arms and shouted, causing the Nine-Tailed Fox to turn its head sharply, its fox eyes instantly becoming sharp.

"Naruto……"

Nine-Tailed Fox slowly walked over, its vertical pupils filled with vigilance, its eyeballs slightly bulging, looking ready to pounce.

Naruto's sudden disappearance and reappearance instinctively alerted it.

"What just happened?" Kurama asked in a deep voice. Naruto chuckled and gave it a brief explanation.

"My hatred will affect you?" Kurama narrowed his eyes, not expecting Naruto to expose his weakness to him.

Naruto calmly said, "Now that we're partners, I'll tell you my weaknesses, but you should also be wary of enemies using similar tactics against me."

"I believe this will be a new beginning."

"Gurgle..." A soft whimper came from the Nine-Tailed Fox's throat, its heart stirring with desire.

Once they've dealt with Madara Uchiha, will it be able to escape from Naruto's body and regain its freedom?
But now, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) keeps its inner thoughts buried deep inside.

It remained silent for a long time before saying, "...I understand. So, let's work together happily from now on."

"It's a pleasure working with you." Naruto nodded slightly.

Then, Naruto opened his eyes in the reality of the ninja world.

His clothes were zipped up, and there were several tears in the sleeves and trouser legs, which seemed to be caused by an excessive amount of Nine-Tails chakra overflowing.

Naruto propped himself up, looked at the seal on his abdomen, touched his abs, stood up, and changed into a brand new set of clothes.

Naruto zipped up his jacket and took out an orange-black trench coat, putting it on.

"A little more ritual is never a bad thing, is it?"

Naruto chuckled, and the Sage Mask suddenly appeared on his face!
Meanwhile, back in his mental space, he saw Kurama sitting cross-legged on the ground, gathering the surrounding natural energy for Naruto.

"Om-"

Naruto closed his eyes, feeling the power surging through his body, and stretched his muscles, making cracking sounds.

Naruto Uzumaki + Kurama, that's the coolest combination.

He strode away, his orange-black trench coat fluttering in the mountain wind, his footsteps echoing like thunder.

Let's get ready to release the information to the entire ninja world.

……

Orochimaru's lair.

This is a secret room storing various forbidden techniques, containing some of Orochimaru's research findings from this period.

The room was filled with thick scrolls, a testament to his achievements in the field of ninjutsu.

At this moment, two people were talking quietly in the secret room; they were none other than Kabuto and Orochimaru.

"Kabuto, I didn't expect your ideas to be even more radical than mine, hehehe." Orochimaru licked his lips, revealing a sinister smile.

Kabuto pushed up his glasses: "Lord Orochimaru, I'm only considering our future. There's no future in following Akatsuki."

It's not surprising that he had this attitude. Before this, the kidnapped detective squad had used Shino's parasitic insects to spell out words on the ground and presented him with a wicked plan.

If this treacherous plan is carried out and succeeds, Orochimaru may be able to break free from Akatsuki and gain unprecedented power.

However, the risks were also great, and he believed that this was a conspiracy by the reconnaissance team, so he was convinced that he would have internal strife with 'Xiao'.

Orochimaru looked at the countless scrolls on the shelf, lost in thought.

He is also considering the feasibility of this plan.

But then he shook his head: "Du, the time is not right yet."

"Not ripe enough? Lord Orochimaru, they've already lost the Eight-Tails; the timing is perfect."

"If we accidentally leak this information, and then take advantage of the chaos to kill him, the situation will instantly reverse!"

A glint of light appeared in Dou's glasses as he continued, "We just need to create an opportunity."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, remaining noncommittal.

For them, most of the Akatsuki members were not a threat, and Orochimaru was confident that he could escape unscathed even if they were attacked.

But the masked guy was different; he had already obtained the Rinnegan, a divine power that Orochimaru could not easily deal with.

As he was pondering, a faint light flickered outside the door.
