Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 6 Witty Daily Life

"Before I answer your question, let me ask you a question," Naruto chuckled, "Why is it that Naruto always succeeds in talking?"

Sakura's expression stiffened slightly: "Because, he is the protagonist?"

"That's right," Naruto nodded. "When we first read the original manga, we thought Naruto's words were very moving, and the animation even interspersed them with flashbacks and touching background music, but in reality, his words don't stand up to scrutiny."

"But we time travelers are different. We know the main characters' personalities, weaknesses, and abilities, and we can definitely prescribe the right remedies."

"This time, the mouth-to-mouth attack on Kakashi was an experiment, and the result of this experiment shows that the plot direction can be changed. The potential of mouth-to-mouth attack is enormous!"

Sakura nodded after hearing this. "This is like speedrunning Dark Souls multiple times, using tricks to exploit NPC bugs and get the quest rewards early."

"...Uh, that's about right. Anyway, from now on we have to rely more on verbal persuasion, but at the same time we have to ensure that the plot doesn't change drastically and maintain the time traveler's information advantage."

"It's a good idea. But the protagonists might change because of your persuasion. Also, you have to be careful that there might be other people from Earth traveling through time."

"I understand. We'll just do some D-rank missions these few days. Once we've cleared the Wave Country dungeon, we'll go out and see if there are any other travelers."

Naruto said goodbye to Sakura and returned to his home, sitting cross-legged and preparing to enter the spiritual realm.

He was going to talk to Comrade Kyuubi.

With his eyelids tightly closed and his mind sinking, Naruto could clearly feel the significant changes in the space around him, and this time, his perception seemed to have become even sharper.

Open your eyes.

"My control over this space seems to have become a little stronger," Naruto murmured softly, taking a step forward and suddenly moving several steps forward.

Is this the golden finger for coming to this world?

Naruto walked quickly, and the space around him quickly retreated.

He soon arrived at the huge iron gate in front of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Unlike before, a pair of scarlet eyes that were larger than Naruto's body were staring straight at Naruto, as if they sensed Naruto's arrival.

"How have you considered it?" Naruto looked at the Nine-Tails calmly.

"Uzumaki Naruto," Kyuubi chewed on Naruto's name: "There are very few people like you, who are obviously extremely weak, yet extremely rampant."

As it spoke these words, the human words that came out of its mouth vibrated in the air, as if it had experienced a small earthquake.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Naruto shook his head, "You really don't know anything about me. Let me put it this way, just suppressing this space has consumed half of my chakra. Even so, I can still summon thousands of shadow clones."

Kyuubi scoffed, "It's just an ability the Uzumaki clan is born with. It's nothing special. You still need to borrow my power."

"Wrong," Naruto shook his head again: "I'm not here to trade with you this time, but to inform you..."

Naruto paused and said, "You are of no use for the time being."

"Just stay here with me for a while."

Kyuubi remained silent for a long time, but the space around him did not become quiet because of this. Instead, it began to show signs of cracking!

Strands of blood-red chakra began to slowly flow out of the doorway and towards Naruto.

"Boy, you don't think you'll be invincible just by passing a test!" Kyuubi's mouth cracked, revealing his rugged gums.

"Now I'll show you how huge the gap between you and me is!"

Naruto showed no fear at all. He simply stretched out his right index finger and waved it left and right towards the Nine-Tails, then suddenly raised his mind upwards.

With a snap of his fingers, Naruto's mind leaped out of the mental space like a fish out of a pond.

The surroundings became homelike again. Naruto's sweat soaked his shirt. He jumped out of bed and took several deep breaths.

Naruto gently stroked his pounding heart and laughed, "I feel like my giant fear is coming on."

Frankly speaking, he was still a little uncomfortable with dealing with such a gigantic Nine-Tailed Fox.

This can only be left to time, through frequent conversations to gradually desensitize you.

But on the other hand, Naruto was quite satisfied with the current progress.

Why didn't he accept the Nine-Tails' chakra just now? Firstly, that chakra contained too much negative emotions, and secondly, he needed to devalue the Nine-Tails through this repeated pulling.

That is PUA.

This job was familiar to Naruto! In his previous life, when he was doing company dungeons, his boss often used excuses like "too little experience," "lack of innovation," and "bad family background compared to his peers" to "encourage" him to work unpaid overtime to make up for the gap between him and his colleagues.

It's all bullshit!
Some of the 985 graduates recruited in the autumn didn’t even know how to use Excel, and it was only because of his hands-on guidance that he was able to ensure that the tasks were completed on time.

But in this process, he understood the true meaning of PUA.

As long as you keep belittling others until they are at a level similar to your own, then you are valuable.

Just like his bald leader.

Now, he had to keep lowering Jiuwei's value. Only in this way could he pull Jiuwei to a level similar to his own, and the subsequent negotiations could proceed smoothly.

In the evening, Naruto came to Ichiraku Ramen for a meal. He found that the handmade ramen made by the uncle fascinated him more and more, and even the thought of the aroma of barbecued pork made his mouth water.

Could it be that there is Otsutsuki's strong medicine in the barbecued pork?

After eating and drinking, he went straight to the martial arts training ground and started practicing shuriken.

Naruto knew very well that at this stage his chakra had to be used to suppress the Nine-Tails, so practicing new techniques would be ineffective.

Wait a while before adding the Rasengan to the curriculum.

Interestingly, he also met Sakura in the training ground, who was tinkering with some new techniques that he couldn't understand.

Sakura did not invite Naruto to train with her, but instead completed her training on her own.

"Another King of Rolls," Naruto muttered as he continued practicing.

He became more and more curious about the true identity of Sakura in this body.

Well, Naruto still couldn't decide whether she was a real girl or a scheming mu.

And so, some time passed.

Naruto's life began to become more regular, completing low-level tasks, training, studying, and repeating this cycle.

He began to take time to go to the library and relearn some theoretical knowledge of ninja, filling the original owner's empty mind with knowledge.

And some late nights, if Naruto couldn't sleep, he would enter the spiritual space and talk with the Nine-Tails.

It was basically the same PUA remarks, which belittled the Nine-Tailed Fox's ability infinitely, but did not lend a drop of chakra, making the latter furious.

The Nine-Tails became more and more eager to prove himself, but Naruto didn't care.

Sometimes when he got tired of practicing, he would dive into his mind space at the speed of light, scold the Nine-Tailed Fox in an official tone, and then return to reality at the speed of light.

Phew~ cool!
And during this peaceful daily life, two uneasy things happened.
