Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

The celestial backdrop transitions.

[As the top-tier dual guardians of Konoha Village]

Between Naruto and Sasuke, who is smarter?

Konoha Village.

Naruto was immediately excited.

"Is that even a question? Of course it's me!"

Sasuke glanced at him expressionlessly and said nothing.

That look made it very clear—you think you're smart?

The text on the celestial screen began to scroll:

Naruto's constant shouting makes him seem less intelligent.

Sasuke is a man of few words, possessing the aloof and scholarly demeanor of a male god.

But actually, they're both pretty much the same.

The specific data is as follows:

Naruto's IQ: 90.

Sasuke's IQ: 100.

Akamaru's IQ: 105.

Quiet.

The entire ninja world fell silent for two seconds.

[Fourth Raikage A: Who is Akamaru?]

[Mei Terumi: Akamaru? Never heard of that name before. Is he a master from some hidden village?]

[Tobirama Senju: Akamaru... I don't recall that name. Is there such a person in Konoha?]

Konoha Village.

Kiba Inuzuka posted a comment on the screen:

Kiba Inuzuka: Akamaru is my dog.

Quiet.

Then the comment section was flooded with question marks.

[Fourth Raikage A: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ]

Mei Terumi: ???

[Onoki, a Libra: ??? Dog???]

[Jiraiya: Is a dog smarter than Naruto and Sasuke?]

[Tsunade: Kiba Inuzuka, can you confirm that Akamaru really has an IQ of 105?]

Kiba Inuzuka: Absolutely! Akamaru is incredibly clever! He can shake hands, sit down, and play dead—he knows it all!

[Fourth Raikage A: That's called training results, not intelligence!!!]

Konoha Village.

Sasuke's face darkened.

His IQ is lower than a dog's.

A dog.

"..."

Naruto was laughing so hard he couldn't stand up straight.

"Hahahaha! Sasuke! You're not even as good as a dog! Hahahaha!"

Sasuke turned his head, his Sharingan slowly rotating.

"Your IQ is 90."

You're not even as good as me.

Naruto's laughter stopped abruptly.

"..."

Kiba Inuzuka stood beside Akamaru, looking smug.

"See that, Akamaru! You're even smarter than that arrogant Sasuke!"

Akamaru: "Woof!"

The text on the celestial screen continues:

[And Sasuke's 10 points of intelligence that are higher than Naruto's]

[Its only function is to first raise a question, then immediately follow up.]

The scene cuts in.

A classic scene comes to mind.

Naruto proposed a plan.

Sasuke frowned: "Will this work?"

After thinking it over

Sasuke: "Let's go."

Konoha Village.

Sasuke's temples began to throb.

"When did I instantly follow?"

"I think about it carefully every time."

Naruto muttered to himself from the side.

"You probably had about three seconds to think."

"Shut up."

The text on the celestial screen continues:

[Mission in the Land of Waves]

The scene cuts in.

The Wave Country Bridge.

Kakashi was trapped by Zabuza's Water Prison Technique.

Naruto and Sasuke faced immense pressure as they confronted Zabuza's shadow clones.

Naruto's eyes lit up, and he came up with a plan.

In the scene, Naruto leans close to Sasuke and whispers a few words in his ear.

Sasuke nodded.

Then Sasuke rushed forward.

Then they got beaten up.

Sasuke attracted Zabuza's full attention while he was being beaten.

At the same time, Naruto transformed into the Fuma Shuriken and was thrown at Sasuke by another Naruto.

The moment Sasuke received the shuriken, he understood Naruto's plan.

Using the shadow clones as cover, he threw the transformed Naruto as a shuriken, breaking the Water Prison Technique in the chaos.

The plan was successful.

The water prison technique was broken, and Kakashi was freed.

Text switching on the screen:

The plan itself is not problematic.

However, one small detail is worth considering.

Was the beating Sasuke received necessary?

Sasuke was drawing attention to himself so that his shadow clones could have cover while he passed the shuriken.

But is there a possibility that...?

[Even if Sasuke hadn't taken this beating, could he have still gotten the shuriken using the cover of his shadow clones?]

The comment section was silent for two seconds.

Then someone realized what was happening.

[Fourth Raikage A: ...So Naruto sending Sasuke up to take the hits first was actually unnecessary?]

[Mei Terumi: No, no, we still need to attract attention, right?]

[Tobirama Senju: There are many ways to attract attention; you don't necessarily have to go and get hit yourself. Shadow clones can also attract attention. Naruto's own shadow clones can do that too.]

Jiraiya: So... Naruto let Sasuke take a beating first, purely because...

[Tsunade: He wants to see Sasuke get beaten up.]

Konoha Village, and the people who lived through that period of time.

Naruto's expression instantly became very subtle.

Sasuke turned his head and looked at Naruto expressionlessly.

"Naruto."

"what?"

"Did you do this on purpose?"

No! Absolutely not!

The text on the celestial screen continues:

Let me tell you something else.

[During a certain mission, due to the enemy's ninjutsu...]

Naruto and Sasuke's hands were stuck together.

The scene cuts in.

Naruto and Sasuke's right and left hands were stuck together by a strange ninjutsu.

The two of them pulled hard, but they couldn't pull them apart.

Even the bitterest wounds cannot be cut; they cannot be severed.

I tried to ram my head against the wall, but I couldn't break through.

The two of them struggled for a long time, but they were still stuck together.

After struggling for a while, Naruto finally made up his mind.

on the screen.

Naruto turned to look at Sasuke and gave him a look.

The meaning behind that look was very clear.

"Jump?"

Sasuke glanced at Naruto and immediately understood.

"Jump."

Then the two of them jumped off the cliff together.

[Fourth Raikage A: ???]

[Mei Terumi: ??? Jump off a cliff???]

[Jiraiya: What kind of logic is this? What does having your hands stuck together have to do with jumping off a cliff?!]

Konoha Village.

Naruto scratched his head.

"Well... there really wasn't much else to do at the time..."

Sasuke remained expressionless.

"You said you'd jump, so I jumped."

"...Why didn't you stop me then?"

"Because I think what you said makes sense."

"...What's the reasoning behind that?"

"have no idea."

"..."
