Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 326 Sakura: I will take full responsibility, both for the child and for you.
Black Hand stared at Naruto's fierce expression.

He tried to grin sarcastically, but the slightest opening of his mouth tore at the tendons and rotten flesh.

"hiss--"

He grimaced in pain, his face contorted in agony.

Naruto just watched him quietly.

After a long while, the black hand spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm and opened its blood-red maw:
"Why...why do such an unnecessary thing?"

"Just kill him, that's all!"

Naruto's expression was terrifyingly cold as he bluntly asked, "Li Qingshui, do you know this name?"

Sakura felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this, instantly realizing that Naruto had obtained a portion of her memories.

Naruto wants to help Sakura find this child.

But before that, he had to confirm whether Qingshui and Qingquan were the same person.

After hearing this, Black Hand looked at Sakura and revealed an ugly smile: "You, what do you think... Hehehe..."

He clearly knew the identities and backgrounds of all the time travelers beforehand.

Sakura took a deep breath and said to Naruto, "Li Shimizu has an intellectual disability, and Shiba Seisen has autism... but I suspect they were both my students."

"I was teleported to the ninja world on my way to find Shimizu after leaving school... I hope he wasn't teleported to this dangerous place with me."

After hearing this, Black Hand struggled to get up slightly and suddenly spoke:

"You just want to make yourself feel better, don't you..."

"Then I admit that Shimizu was kidnapped by me. Does that make you feel better?" Black Hand looked at Sakura, a sinister smile playing on his lips.

The mastermind believes that Naruto wants him to take all the blame so that Sakura won't have to suffer from a guilty conscience.

But he didn't.

"Ding!!!"

A crisp sound rang out in the air!
Naruto smashed him to the ground with his staff, blood splattering everywhere!
"You're such a smart aleck, aren't you?" Naruto said expressionlessly as he struck a few more times, the screams of the Black Hand echoing through the empty Valley of the End.

Naruto, exhausted from hitting the ball, panting heavily, then braced himself with his cue stick, sweat beading on his forehead, looking at the barely alive, twitching Black Hand.

"Pfft!" Sasuke injected another dose of morphine into his body to force him to stay awake.

He understood the conversation between the three of them as well, so his anger was no less than Naruto's.

“Just kill him, Naruto. There’s no point in discussing this beast.” Sasuke’s words were cold, but Naruto shook his head.

There are still some things that haven't been settled.

Naruto grabbed Kuro's hair again: "Besides us and the transmigrators we killed, who else did you bring here?"

Are there any surviving time travelers left?

The Black Hand chuckled again: "...Guess?"

Naruto simply laid him flat on the ground, then stepped on his open wound, gradually increasing the pressure.

Those who have been subjected to severe torture should know that this method can cause the victim to urinate and defecate due to pain.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh...!!" Black Hand, drenched in sweat from the pain, couldn't help but cry out:
"there is none left!!"

Naruto released his foot, and Kuro-sho collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

After the black hand had finished its work, Naruto continued, "Hand over your 'golden finger,' the one that allows you to copy techniques."

Black Hand remained silent, then saw Naruto turn around and grab his cue stick, and he chickened out.

"Wait... that thing has already merged with me, I can't remove it!"

Seeing that Naruto was about to disembowel him, Black Hand cried out urgently, "My diary! I have my diary!"

He gave them a coordinate, and the three of them exchanged glances. Naruto said, "I have a nearby marker."

Five minutes later, Naruto flew back and retrieved the diary, which the three of them opened and read.

This diary records Black Hand's cheat codes and his insights on how to use them.

[■■Diary:]

[Accumulate negative emotions; once sufficient, you can consume the power of the 'Core' to exchange for ninjutsu. However, there is a limit to the number of ninjutsu that can be exchanged for using the 'Core'.]

Another function of the 'core' is to travel through various realms, which is the key to bringing transmigrators to the ninja world.

[Note 1: The depletion of 'core' power will not affect the time travel function.]

[Note 2: The price of using the 'core' is assimilation into the core, becoming one with it forever.]

[Note 3: Killing the host will restore the 'core' form to its original state.]

Naruto closed his diary.

Strictly speaking, this guy can no longer be considered human.

He was transformed into the cheat code itself; in other words, the Black Hand itself was needed as an important medium to travel back to Earth.

"How about this?" The Black Hand revealed a chilling smile: "After you kill me, you can take my place and become the new mastermind."

"No, anyone can replace me. After all, I'm doomed now, aren't I? Hehehehe..."

Naruto looked at the fearless black hand and said coldly:
"last question,"

"Your name, and your address before you traveled through time?"

Just to be on the safe side, Naruto wanted to confirm whether the mastermind was from Earth.

If so, he will find the Black Hand's home and see if there is a second core.

The black hand paused for a moment, then said expressionlessly:
"Masashi Kishimoto".

Shock flashed across the faces of Naruto and Sakura, then they saw the black hand and revealed a bitter smile:

"Hehehe... You got tricked by me, didn't you? Hehehehehe..."

The three exchanged glances, and Sakura stepped forward, making a gun gesture towards him.

But then the mastermind interrupted again in a hurry: "Hey, no one took my suggestion?"

"This thing is really useful, and the values ​​you adopt are meaningless here,"

"The ninja world is a breeding ground for decadence. You'll see if you browse online forums; that's what netizens all think."

"Do you really believe that justice will prevail and all evil will eventually be brought to justice?"

He was still talking, his mouth wouldn't stop.

"You really have to listen to me, I'm doing this for your own good..."

Sakura stepped forward and interrupted, "Shut up! Do you think we don't know the current state of the ninja world?"

“I know justice doesn’t always prevail, but so what? Good and evil are always at odds, each has its victories and defeats…” She paused, calmly looking at the black hand, and slowly said, “It’s just that this time, you lost.”

"You didn't even think about winning them over before you started pursuing your grand ambitions," Sakura said, her eyes pointing at Naruto and Sasuke.
"Is it because you think you're special, right? You can achieve great things without relying on famous leading or supporting actors?"

"So does this have anything to do with their bloodline? Does it have anything to do with whether you're in the evil camp?"

"You didn't lose this war because you were evil... you were simply less skilled."

Words that strike at the heart.

Black Hand stared at Sakura in silence, then his chest heaved, and he was about to retort...
"boom!!!"

Sakura delivered a Water Gun to his forehead!

"Clap!"

The black hand then fell to the ground.

The sound of the fall echoed in the empty valley.

A gentle breeze ruffled the three men's hair, softly chanting the spoils of war, carrying away the cloying sweetness of blood, and with it, the nightmares in their hearts.

ended.

Black Hand didn't die at the hands of the male protagonist of Naruto, but rather at the hands of a commoner ninja.

Then, the corpse of the Black Hand changed, beginning to condense into a black, broken halo.

At the same time, Naruto and Sakura noticed a noise coming from their pockets.

They rummaged through the items and found fragments that allowed them to access the memory space.

The fragments then came to life, flying and circling around the aperture, constantly repairing it.

The core is to recycle the fragments and reassemble them into a passage that can traverse all the worlds.

Finally, the aperture emitted a soft glow, leaving only the last gap.

"The last one will probably fall somewhere in the ninja world..." Naruto pondered, resting his chin on his hand, and looked at Sakura.

At this moment, she looked at the halo with a slightly complicated expression.

Naruto moistened his lips with his tongue and said to Sasuke beside him:
"Sasuke...could you leave for a moment? I'd like to say a few words to her."

Sasuke glanced at Sakura, nodded, and disappeared from the spot.

Naruto looked at Sakura, who was silently watching the circle of light, and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Should we...go back?"

Sakura turned her head and saw Naruto pause, then stammered:

“I saw your memories during the fight with Black Hand. To be honest, if you go back, there are probably only two possible outcomes,”

"First, if we find that child, everyone will be happy, and you can continue pursuing your passion."

"Second, we can't find him anymore, and believe me, as the student's homeroom teacher, you are to blame for this."

Seeing that Sakura remained silent, Naruto spoke slightly faster:
"It's not that I'm escaping reality... but I do have some understanding of the teaching profession,"

"When I was in school, my homeroom teacher even had to manage the license plate numbers of parents' electric scooters. I used to think it was outrageous, but now I understand,"

"By doing this, we are concentrating responsibility at a high level, turning homeroom teachers into scapegoats for the school!"

Naruto's words reflect the views of some people in society towards teachers.

"Look at this aperture! We're not even sure if several years will have passed by the time we travel back in time!"

"If time keeps passing, you're finished! People will just think you ran away at the last minute, and the public outcry will drown you!"

Naruto became increasingly anxious as he spoke, but Sakura remained silent, quietly watching him.

"Hey... say something, will you?"

Sakura paused for a moment, then suddenly spoke:
"...Don't you want to go back?"

Naruto paused for a moment, then stubbornly said, "Uh... I don't want to."

"Liar."

"..."

Naruto did miss his family, but he realized he couldn't just stand by and watch Sakura bear such a heavy moral burden.

This is not an either-or question, but a dilemma.

Naruto took a deep breath: "If you'd like, I can stay with you..."

But before he could finish speaking, he suddenly found the woman in front of him appearing in an instant!

Then, she pressed her red lips to Naruto's forehead!

Naruto was shocked. He felt a burning sensation on his forehead and his head was spinning. He was about to fall over if he wasn't careful.

Sakura looked at Naruto with a radiant smile:
“But I don’t want to… I want to take responsibility for that child, and I want to take responsibility for you,”

"Let's live on as we were, with our original identities."

She seemed to have never hesitated, showing no fear or uncertainty about the future she might face.

If Naruto physically helped eliminate the mastermind, then Sakura comforted their souls.

This is not about showing off, but about choosing to face all the difficulties in life as an adult.

It is not shameful to escape the bleak reality, but the two of them are destined to never find peace of mind after escaping.

Sakura, however, did not want to torment herself with her conscience.

But she didn't want to blame her lover, so she chose to express her attitude with a gentle kiss.

Having figured everything out, Naruto decides to regain his courage and return to reality with Sakura.

Their eyes met, and then they drew closer, Naruto kissing her luscious red lips, plucking the ripe fruit...

……

……

On the other side, in the distance.

Sasuke Uchiha watched the two approaching quietly, and after they embraced and kissed, he turned and left.

He clutched a fragment tightly in his palm, preventing it from flying into the black halo.

This fragment was obtained by him during his training with Orochimaru and his battle against the Black Hand.

It is also the last piece of the puzzle to piece together the core.
