Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 4 The Essence of the Bell Mission

As expected by Naruto, the moment Sakura attacked, Kakashi seemed to have eyes on his back. He slightly tilted his body, easily took her punch with his palm, and used the aftereffect to quickly retreat.

Sakura chuckled, her eyes moving, and she ran in the opposite direction, starting to converge towards Naruto.

Just at this moment, the two of them looked at each other.

Sakura was as calm as water, hiding all the sharpness in her eyes, and met Kakashi's gaze head-on without a hint of backing down.

Kakashi looked at Sakura with interest.

Don't be stubborn, don't get carried away, and know when to quit.

It's like a lion dog in the grass jumps into your face and hits you, but when it finds that your health is still healthy, it dives back without hesitation.

Be patient, restrained, and accumulate strength for a breakthrough.

Kakashi suddenly had an idea.

This might be the toughest trio he has ever encountered.

Naruto is insidious, Sakura is calm, and Sasuke has the strongest overall qualities.

"Interesting. But I won't give you a pass for now." Kakashi thought to himself.

He has seen many such people, with great talent and ability.

But it is not important.

At this moment, Sakura rushed to Naruto's side and asked, "Have you had enough fun?"

Naruto stared at Kakashi and said, "Try again."

"You want to defeat him so badly?"

"That's not the case," Naruto said with a grin, "If I want to defeat him, I can just use the Nine-Tails cheat and be done with it."

"I want to conduct an experiment to see how far we, as the people of Earth, can go."

At the beginning, Naruto's idea was just to go through the plot casually, pick up some girls, and start a harem.

But Sakura's words made him realize the seriousness of the problem.

This is not a passionate story about a chosen one traveling to the world of Naruto, but a story about a group of people traveling together to become stronger.

Just imagine, what if someone were to travel back in time and be transported to a hostile force, such as Nagato, Obito, or Madara?

At that time, we will either dance on the battlefield or perform a group dance for everyone.

Therefore, Naruto not only has to pluck the fur of the Nine-Tailed Fox, but also has to explore all possibilities outside and transform these experiences into his nourishment.

"What you said is too mysterious. What the hell is this experiment?" Sakura was puzzled.

"You'll know when you see it," Naruto gave up the attack and looked at Kakashi with a half-smile, saying, "Boss, it's no fun to keep fighting like this."

"Really?" Kakashi narrowed his eyes. "Rules are rules. If you don't grab the bells on time, I will definitely send you back to the ninja school."

Sakura was thoughtful, what could be revealed from such a conversation?
Naruto crossed his arms, "Boss, you're a Jonin. Even if the three of us work together, we can't possibly defeat you."

"The key to this mission is teamwork. Going it alone is definitely not going to work, right?"

Kakashi nodded: "You don't look like a loser at all."

Sasuke stared at Naruto, his heart in turmoil.

"But I think there's something else going on here, and that's the number of bells. There are only two, and yet we're asked to work as a team, it's obvious we'll be fighting amongst ourselves."

Naruto was silent, then suddenly said, "This mission requires one of us to sacrifice, right?"

It was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard.

Sasuke pursed his lips, feeling a sharp thud in his chest.

He certainly noticed the number of bells, but he never considered teamwork or sacrifice.

He was shocked because Naruto only took a moment to reveal the essence of this mission.

It's like when everyone gets together to play a riddle and everyone is at a loss, a lazy person comes over, takes a look, and casually says the correct answer.

Does this make sense? It doesn't make sense at all.

Kakashi looked at Naruto with an approving expression: "You are very clever. Sacrifice is the essence of this mission. But why did you just say that this mission is meaningless?"

"Don't you think this is contradictory?"

Naruto smiled and said, "If the boss really wants to test us, there's no need to be so strict on us, because the key to the mission is how to distribute the bells. And snatching the bells is just to test whether we have teamwork."

"We cooperated, but you still didn't allow us to succeed and move on to the next step. This goes against the original intention of the test." Sakura understood after hearing this.

It turns out that he wanted to talk Kakashi into submission, and he did it in a way that did not follow the plot.

According to the plot, Team 7 was the first class that Kakashi officially led, and all the others were sent back to the ninja school by Kakashi.

Kakashi is convinced by Obito's point of view: teammates are more important than missions, and those who don't value their teammates are worse than trash.

Only if you show this tendency in the test will Kakashi give you a passing grade.

But this contradicts the sacrifice required by the mission.

Ninjas, like mercenaries on Earth, have the duty of completing missions.

"Is it possible that your cooperation is not good enough?" Kakashi shook his head disdainfully. "Let me tell you, your performance just now is really worse than not being a ninja."

Naruto laughed when he heard this. You Jonin who use psychological tactics are really dirty.

He remained calm on the surface. "We all graduated from the Ninja Academy, which means our overall quality is up to par. There's no need to provoke us."

"How about this, you give the bell to Sakura and Sasuke, and I'll go back to the ninja school to rebuild it."

Kakashi's heart trembled: "You want to sacrifice yourself?"

Naruto said lightly, "Not only do I have to complete the mission, but I also have to protect my teammates from being sent back to the ninja school."

"Are you satisfied now?"

Kakashi was silent.

A one-eyed, short-haired figure appeared beside him and gently patted his shoulder: "Do you want to make them qualified?"

Kakashi turned his head and saw the young Uchiha Obito looking at him with a smile.

"He hasn't told me the answer yet."

Kakashi turned to the three of them, "Do you think the ninja world is so simple? Naruto, I'm going to make you qualified now. Both of your teammates won't be ninjas anymore!"

Naruto tilted his head but didn't respond.

After hearing this, Sakura just wanted to yawn.

Sasuke looked at Naruto, then at Sakura, then at Naruto again, then at Sakura again...

Why am I the only one who looks panicked?

In fact, Sasuke was both shocked by Naruto's determination and angry at Kakashi's words.

There was also Sakura who had a blank expression throughout the whole process. Sasuke said that he would ask the village doctor to treat her facial paralysis.

However, what he found most difficult to accept was still Naruto.

Who told you to act so cool?!

Are you allowed to sacrifice yourself so righteously?

Why are you so arrogant, you last-place guy?
Sasuke couldn't help but recall that bloody night. At that time, he was surviving under his brother's scythe, but had to shoulder the hatred and future of his clan alone.

Every day, I am either practicing or constantly wandering around in painful memories. Even if I get the top scorer in the exam, I still have to endure endless gossip from passers-by.

It's already like this, so what if I don't become a ninja? Will it get worse than before?

"Let me do it..." Sasuke spoke tremblingly, his voice began to tremble slightly along with his body.

"I'll be the one who makes the sacrifice."

"Ah?" Naruto turned around in surprise. What sacrifices have you made, you little brat with thick eyebrows and big eyes? Are you not going to take revenge?
Sasuke glared at Naruto.

"Naruto, why are you trying to show off in front of everyone?"

"You're clearly the last one in the class, yet you're talking about sacrificing yourself. Do you even know what sacrifice means?"

"Kakashi, give the bell to those two guys and I'll quit!"

Naruto felt helpless. There was no need to rush to withdraw from such a thing, right?

Sakura glanced at the two of them and said, "I'd better go back. I'm afraid these two idiots will kill me in a rage."

Naruto: "..."

Kakashi was silent again.
