Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 73 Sakura's Diary (Part )

Naruto saw Sasuke's hesitation. Sasuke in the original work never took the initiative to get involved in matters other than revenge. His whole body and mind were engulfed in the rage of revenge and he couldn't extricate himself.

However, after experiencing the influence of traveling through Naruto and Sakura, he also began to occasionally think about things other than revenge, such as how to revive the Uchiha clan after revenge, and whether he should continue to stay in Konoha as before if he wanted to revive the clan.

Just as he was thinking about this, he heard Naruto say: "I know this matter has nothing to do with you directly, so just think of it as a commission I issued just for you."

"If you can help me with this matter, I will provide you with information about the curse seal and ask the Sandaime for a suggestion to make you stronger."

The information about the curse seal that Naruto mentioned includes that the curse seal on Sasuke's neck has two stages, the curse seal is divided into the Heaven's Curse Seal, the Earth's Curse Seal and other curse seals, the price to pay for upgrading to the second stage, etc.

As for the suggestion on becoming stronger, it was actually his own suggestion. The specific content was: Sasuke should practice the various forms of Chidori Ninjutsu, such as Chidori Style.

The former is a precaution, and the latter is equivalent to shortening the period for Sasuke to become stronger. These are the advantages he naturally possesses as a time traveler.

Sasuke was a little surprised. He looked at Naruto seriously and asked, "Why do you know the information about the curse seal?"

Naruto smiled slightly, not surprised by Sasuke's doubts: "As I said before, I have had direct contact with Orochimaru, and I have also had the honor of coming into contact with the holder of the curse seal. Yes, you are not the only one who holds the curse seal."

"As for the Sandaime's suggestion, there's no need to explain it, right? You can consider me as the Sandaime's subordinate now."

Sasuke nodded, and then his eyes became a little hot, not because of Naruto, but because of Naruto's suggestion to become stronger.

The powerful advice provided by the Third Hokage was naturally what Sasuke wanted.

He paused tactically for a moment, then said to Naruto: "It seems I have no reason to refuse. Tell me, what do you need me to do now?"

Naruto said "hmm" calmly, thinking that you kid finally got around.

"So far, I have established a bridge with the Anbu people. They will be responsible for tracking down clues about Danzo and Orochimaru. In other words, you don't have to worry about Orochimaru and Danzo."

Sasuke was a little confused. Aren't Orochimaru and Danzo the core of this matter? If not them, what else should he investigate?
Naruto said with a half-smile: "In fact, to defeat the Third Hokage, Orochimaru alone is not enough. There is another force involved in this matter."

"Who?"

"Suna Ninja."

Sasuke frowned after hearing this and took a deep breath. If he remembered correctly, the Sand Ninja and Konoha seemed to be allies?
Are all of you who play politics so messy?

Naruto patted his shoulder and said, "There are no such things as allies in the ninja world. They are all just relationships of interest."

"Indeed." Sasuke calmed down and asked the key question: "In other words, do I need to check the details of the Sand Ninja?"

"No. You and I are just ordinary Genin now. We don't have the authority or ability to check their background. What we should do now is to make Konoha Anbu suspect Sand Ninja and further disrupt the situation."

"How to do it exactly?"

"Come closer, I'll speak more quietly."

The two of them discussed this for a full half hour in the training ground.

【Sakura's Diary】

7 month 16 day.

Shiba Kiyozumi, as a teacher at the Ninja School, has a very strong presence among the students. If you want to monitor him, starting with the students around him might be a good starting point.

I found Konohamaru according to Naruto's suggestion. He didn't have a deep impression of me and only vaguely remembered that I was his teammate. I thought about it and bought him a lot of snacks, saying that it was Naruto's treat for him.

The little guy was so happy that he said he wanted to share his snacks with Meng Huang and the others.

If he didn't practice that ghost harem technique, I might have pinched his face.

In short, things went very smoothly. Konohamaru told me a lot of things, and I began to understand Shiba Kiyozumi's character. But if I only listened to Konohamaru, I would think Kiyozumi was a teacher with a hot temper but a sincere heart.

What on earth is he thinking about?
It was almost evening when I saw Qingquan, Iruka and other teachers walking out of the school, and then they went to a nearby barbecue restaurant. They ordered a lot and it was obvious that they had a big appetite, but Iruka's expression was obviously worried, and he glanced out the window from time to time.

He was probably looking in the direction of the Anbu. I found a seat opposite them and sat down, hoping to find some clues about the time traveler from his words.

But unfortunately, they were having a great time drinking and eating meat, and all they talked about were family matters.

There was also an episode here.

I ordered some barbecued meats and halfway through the meal, a middle-aged man came up to me and started to talk to me. I was polite at first, but he might have drunk too much and started to get a little angry.

Ah.

A middle-aged man trying to chat up a female student, how could you come up with that?

I didn't act rashly because Qingquan's attention was soon drawn to him. He made a big fuss and almost beat the man up on the spot. Then he told me not to worry and that he would pay for tonight's bill.

Kind-hearted, huh? Interesting. Iruka recognized me, probably thinking I'd run off to the barbecue restaurant alone because something was wrong. I had no choice but to say I had a date tonight, but was stood up.

Then Iruka asked me who I had a date with... Well, I said I had a date with Naruto, but that stinky guy broke up at the last minute.

I hope Iruka can cheer up and teach Naruto a lesson.

Later I left early and took a lot of detours before returning to the barbecue restaurant, where I met Jiraiya again.

He reeked of alcohol and asked me drunkenly if I had seen Naruto. In my haste to follow Qingquan, I said no. When I said goodbye to him, he was still gazing at a beautiful woman next to him with lustful eyes. What a man!
By the way, isn’t Jiraiya easy to meet? How come Naruto hasn’t seen him after searching for so many days?

Later, I started to rush towards Qingquan. I saw him walking towards his home from a distance. I knew that the surveillance tonight might end here.

But it was not without gain. At least I noticed several points where the Anbu was monitoring. In the future, I can infer the routes of the Anbu's surveillance based on these points, which will make it easier to take action against Qingquan.

Summary: From an outsider's perspective, he has implemented his character very solidly and it doesn't feel abrupt. The only problem is that he may be different from the previous Shiba Kiyozumi.

In addition, the reaction of the Anbu made me realize that they wanted to catch the mastermind behind Qingquan, so they would not take any action until Qingquan did something extraordinary.

But it's still a ticking time bomb.

……

7 month 17 day.

I met Kakashi, a rare occurrence in the morning. He asked me if I had any questions about training recently. I said no, and he looked a little lost.

When I asked further, I found out that Sasuke has rarely been training with Kakashi recently. It is said that he is doing something of his own.

This is very unusual. Why would someone so obsessed with revenge suddenly take action? I'll ask Naruto about this later.

I found the atmosphere on the street a bit strange. It wasn't as bustling as it was before the third exam. The ninjas behaved very restrained and politely, while the civilians remained the same as usual.

This in itself is abnormal.

Even in Konoha, the attitude of ninjas towards civilians is not so humble and equal. I can see it from their eyes, that kind of discriminatory look...

But now, they seem to be wearing a tight ring, trying to be as calm as possible in their speech and dress.

This may be caused by the policies of the Third Hokage, or it may be that Naruto's plan has taken effect. The Konoha high-level officials have fallen into a situation where everyone is in danger. Everyone suspects each other, but cannot find the culprit.

So, they all turned their attention to people from other villages.

In order not to attract extra attention, I didn't choose a high place. Instead, I bought some flowers and went directly to the Ninja School in the name of visiting the teacher.

Those Anbu noticed me, but didn't pay too much attention to me, perhaps because my identity was relatively ordinary.

I found Iruka and happened to see him scolding Konohamaru. Qingquan was also standing next to him and scolding him, saying "damn it, damn it" all the time, as if Konohamaru had made some mistake.

As a result, the little guy burst into tears when he saw me and quickly hid behind me. When I asked him, I found out that he was distracted in Iruka's class again, and he was still dissatisfied after being punished by standing.

I also lectured him a few words, but Qingquan came over and looked at me in surprise and said, "You are as suitable to be a teacher as I am!"
How could it not be suitable...

I handed the flowers to Iruka and chatted with him for a while. Qingquan was either flipping through old photo albums or looking around.

I couldn't help but turn my head and ask him: Don't you need to write a lesson plan?
He said... there were too many swear words. In short, there was no need to write it. There was no point in writing it.

Ok……

I guess the original owner was an old teacher in the ninja school, and this time traveler inherited some of the original owner's memories, plus his personal character, so he can handle it without preparing lessons.

As for whether the head of the teaching and research group at the Ninja School will check the lesson plans, I’m not sure.

But here's where things get a little weird.

As far as I know, neither Naruto nor I retained the original owner's memories. When we traveled through time, we directly replaced the original owner's soul with our own. Why can he retain some of the original owner's memories?
Or, he is pretending.

Or, he is different from other time travelers, and may have accidentally encountered some bug when traveling through time, leading to the current situation.

Unfortunately, Naruto did not ask Jin Hammer about this issue, and Cardo died too early, which resulted in us lacking sufficient 'samples'.

Let’s stop here for today’s surveillance. I can feel that the Anbu have noticed my presence. If I continue to monitor, I’m afraid it will backfire.

7 month 18 day.

Naruto found me and explained Sasuke's situation to me.

From the current perspective, Sand Ninja, Danzo, and Orochimaru have all attracted the attention of the top leaders to varying degrees. Perhaps the Anbu around Shiba Kiyozumi will withdraw today and tomorrow.

The time has come.
