Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 104: Sasuke's Treatment Plan: Phase 4000 ( words)
"Are you jealous?"

Sakura said this lightly, and then she saw the yellow-haired man in front of her get a little angry.

"Wow~oh~" Naruto tried hard to recall the Sichuan and Chongqing girl's weird expression, but he restrained his expression and made it look relaxed:
"It's none of my business if you have a male best friend. It's none of my business even if you become a male best friend with Sasuke."

"Oh."

"?"

Naruto could vaguely feel the veins on the back of his hand throbbing, and the blood rushed to his brain, making his face turn red. Fortunately, it was late at night and the lights were dim, so he could maintain his dignity.

Actually, think about it carefully!
If your sister finds a girl who likes to wear green eyeshadow as her bestie, would you feel reassured or worried?
The internet is very open nowadays, and it's not uncommon for girls to be best friends with Xiao 0. He had witnessed similar friendships before he traveled through time.

Well, he also witnessed the incident of someone dressing up as a little 0 and seducing a female bestie...

But this Bai, the one he likes should be Zabuza.

Naruto's mood calmed down again. He realized that he had lost his composure a little. Now he should think about whether Bai can be a qualified helper.

But as he thought about it, Naruto couldn't help but look at Sakura, who was looking at him with a smile, as if she was looking at a naive child.

After thinking about it, Naruto couldn't help but ask: "You and him... don't have anything else?"

"Not now."

"?"

Naruto found himself entering this woman's comfort zone. He scratched his head and tried to change his mind, but then Sakura burst out laughing and said to him:

"Okay, I was just joking, don't be jealous."

Naruto's heart shuddered, but he remained calm on the surface and said calmly: "Well, what's the matter with jealousy? Just stop talking nonsense here, OK?"

"Okay..." Sakura put away her smile and uttered a few more words:

"Good teammate."

"?"

……

Outside the room, Sasuke, who felt a little cold, seemed to hear the boy's loud defense voice coming from inside the house.

"Is it so intense..."

He shrank his neck and began to sit cross-legged on the ground to meditate, eliminating all distracting thoughts.

This pair of dogs and men.

……

Five minutes later, the door opened and the two walked out calmly, as if nothing had happened.

Naruto looked at Sasuke, cleared his throat and coughed. Sasuke opened his eyes, his expression expressionless, and said slowly:

"Is it done?"

"Um... no, nothing fancy. We were discussing something important."

Naruto sat down on the sofa, Sakura sat beside him, he smoothed his words and said to Sasuke:
"Sasuke, have you ever thought about catching Uchiha Itachi yourself?"

Sasuke raised an eyebrow, "Isn't this nonsense?"

"Look, I'll have my friends in the Anbu help keep an eye on Itachi's movements recently, and you'll be on standby here at all times. Once we spot Itachi's movements, we'll set off immediately."

As he said that, Naruto pulled out a Flying Thunder God Kunai from his pocket and handed it to him.

"You should remember this. Keep it to yourself. I can use this kunai to teleport to you at any time."

Sasuke took the kunai, examined it, and suddenly said, "This one seems different from the one in Sakura's hand."

"Ok?"

Naruto looked at him expressionlessly, "It doesn't matter. Your two kunai have the same effect anyway... Hello?"

But Sasuke didn't listen to Naruto, but continued to stare at the kunai, and then came to a conclusion:
"Sakura, you made that yourself, right?"

Sakura, who was on the other side of the sofa, turned her head away, seemingly not wanting to answer the question.

"I find you rather annoying. Let's focus on Itachi, okay?"

"You two suddenly left me here and ran back to your room, aren't you annoyed?" Sasuke immediately retorted. Naruto took a deep breath and decided not to continue competing with Brother Pillar.

But if his inner demons are cured in the future, it’s hard to say.

"Anyway, let's call it a night here. Let's all go back to our homes and pack up for tomorrow's funeral."

"Wait, Naruto..."

Sasuke suddenly interrupted Naruto. He looked seriously into Naruto's eyes, pursed his lips, and said slowly:
"Thank you."

Naruto was stunned, and so was Sakura.

This arrogant Uchiha genius, the boy with the Sharingan who was so domineering and murderous in the original work, actually expressed his gratitude to Naruto.

Seeing the two of them staring at him blankly, Sasuke blushed slightly, a little embarrassed, but said with some determination: "Naruto, you helped me kill Danzo and let the remains of my people return home. I will remember this kindness."

"Thank you."

When Sasuke finished saying this,
suddenly,

Naruto felt that the real Uzumaki Naruto in his body suddenly emitted an extremely warm light, and as a result, the temperature around Naruto suddenly rose, as if it had transitioned directly from night to day!

"Strong positive emotions..." Naruto said in surprise. He felt that the soul of Naruto Uzumaki in his body was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In an instant, Naruto's mind dived into the spiritual space, and with a thought, he found the location of Naruto's real body. The next moment, he appeared next to the real body.

When he came in front of the deity, Naruto's pupils shrank and he saw what the deity was doing.

He slowly stretched out one hand forward, using the power of light to suppress the endless darkness in front of him. Naruto just glanced at the darkness in front of him and felt dizzy, as if he was about to remember the negative memories before the time travel.

At this time, Naruto shook his head at him, signaling him to step back and not look at the darkness ahead.

"I see. You've been suppressing my negative emotions for me here. Once you've absorbed enough positive emotions, you'll be free to help me. Am I right?"

Naruto himself nodded.

At this point in the conversation, Naruto brought his mind back to reality.

This sudden vision also disappeared. In fact, it lasted less than a second.

"What happened just now?" Sasuke looked a little confused and asked for their opinions. Sakura also looked at Naruto.

"It's okay, but you don't have to thank me. This is what I should do as your companion."

"You should remember what the boss said, those who abandon their companions are worse than trash."

Sasuke nodded. This historic moment marked that Uchiha Sasuke was no longer completely bound by the chains of revenge, but had established a true bond with his companions.

Sasuke's treatment plan, phase one, ends.

……

On the other side, Sakura also said goodbye to Naruto, and Naruto was left alone in the hut again.

He walked into his bedroom, took out a brand new notebook and began to record in it.

Sasuke's Treatment Plan: Phase 2

[The purpose of Phase One is to give Sasuke a window to vent his emotions, which allows him to return from a crazy person to a normal person.

But this state is unstable, based on the fact that the inner demon Itachi is still very strong. So in the second phase, we try to let Sasuke participate in the siege against Uchiha Itachi to help him regain his confidence.

After discussing with Sakura, we all agreed that the ideal situation would be to beat Itachi up but have him escape. However, achieving this goal is difficult because it means we have to hold back.

So we thought divergently and set a second level goal: to kill Uchiha Itachi directly.

The difficulty is still very high, but it will not restrict your hands and feet when fighting.

But no matter what, we three couldn't handle it alone. So, Sakura and I listed the following potential helpers:

Bai: He has a good relationship with Sakura and is quite capable. His downside is that he is imprisoned in Konoha and needs to rely on his connections in the Anbu to operate.
Zabuza: He can easily attract Kisame's interest and is a good hand at restraining him. His shortcomings are the same as above, with one more point: he may not be willing to help;

Kakashi: OK in all aspects, but the problem is that he needs to follow the plot and is restrained by Itachi quite harshly;

White-robed Anbu: Strength and ability are unknown, but they should be very strong. Weaknesses: Unable to confirm their loyalty, prone to overthinking;
The Twelve Little Warriors are not very good. They are too weak now and will just be cannon fodder if they go up.

Mitarashi Anko/Uzuki Yugao: Their weaknesses are similar to those of the Shiroi Anbu, and their strength may not be stronger than the Shiroi Anbu.
I haven’t thought of anything else yet. 】

Having written this far, Naruto began to twirl the tip of his pen, wondering if there was any other help.

In fact, the helping hand must not only be strong, but also be consistent with your position, and be tight-lipped and not say anything to others.

Meeting all of these conditions simultaneously is quite demanding. Furthermore, we also have to consider Jiraiya, whose appearance marks the end of the siege, so...

Regarding Jiraiya's plan failing due to him realizing the trap and returning to the inn, there are three ways to deal with it:

First, a quick victory;

Second, change the battlefield;

3. Delay time.

Naruto thought about it and felt that the second method was safer. It would not appear deliberate and would not allow Jiraiya to provide support too quickly.

[There is one more thing, very important.]

No matter how they hunt Uchiha Itachi, Team 7 will definitely be the main force in this battle. After all, Sasuke cannot feel redundant.

We need to show the same momentum we had in our previous battles, but we lack sufficient training.

Danzo is very powerful, but his strength is largely based on Izanagi. As long as you understand its mechanism, you will naturally be able to develop a countermeasure.

But Itachi's situation is different. He has a high combat IQ and has been in combat for a long time. Some simple combinations of ninjutsu can achieve fatal effects.

We must at least be familiar with Itachi's fighting methods, otherwise there is a great possibility of failure!
After much thought, I decided to go to Sasuke's memory space to train. When I gave him training advice before, I mentioned the Thunder Clone, hoping that he could use this technique.

This way, the three of us can simultaneously use our clones to enter the memory space and face the inner demon weasel directly.]

This is equivalent to game players forming a group to kill the dungeon BOSS, and it can be killed repeatedly.

This approach has two benefits:

First, prepare for hunting real-life weasels;
Second, if you are lucky enough to kill the inner demon weasel during the training process, things will become much simpler.

The writing ended here. Naruto read it over and over again, then lit a match and burned it.

……

the next day.

The weather in Konoha is rainy.

The drizzle was like silk, soaking the newly turned soil in front of the Konoha Memorial Monument. The faint firelight was suppressed by the water vapor and became dim and yellow, and the white chrysanthemums stacked in front of the monument were reflected in a pale green.

Hiruzen's pipe and the Hokage's hat were quietly placed on the altar. The copper bells on the edge of the hat were covered with raindrops, and made a muffled buzzing sound when the wind blew.

In front of them were the Sarutobi clan. Asuma looked quietly in the direction of Hiruzen, and slowly exhaled the cigarette butt that he had been holding in his mouth the whole time. The cigarette went out with a hiss as the sparks fell to the ground.

He watched the cigarette butt rolling in the mud, and vaguely remembered what his father had said before:
"The smoke of the Hokage can never be completely burned away."

Class 7 stood side by side in a row, and at this moment, they all had different moods.

As for Naruto, he was in no mood to participate in this special ceremony. He was just thinking about what he had just said to Bai Yi.

……

an hour ago.

"You go to the Anbu and tell Shiro a few words. Be ready to fight at any time. And, you too."

He finally decided to include Bai and the white-clothed Anbu as reinforcements. Of course, if something unexpected happened, he would not let the two of them take action.

"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand. Do you mean to let the prisoner follow you?" The man in white showed a strange look, but was not too surprised.

He didn't seem surprised by his impending fate. This young man had already shocked him too much.

"It's a special matter. I have an important matter that requires his help. Of course, if it's not convenient for you, that's fine."

"...I understand. I will do my best to help you accomplish this."

"Also, this mission is very dangerous and there may be casualties. Are you prepared?"

"Yes."

"Not only you, but I might die too."

"...I will do my best to keep you safe."

"I'm just discussing a possibility with you," Naruto said calmly, as if he didn't care about his possible death. "If I die and Sakura is still alive, and you are still alive, then you will become Sakura's shadow."

"……Yes."

"If we all die, you still have to live well and not end your life easily."

"……Yes."

"If I'm gone and someone comes after you, then defect from Konoha, run as far away as possible, and never come back."

"……Yes."

"Tell me your name, your real name."

Bai Yi suddenly looked up, and raindrops dripped down his mask and onto his cheeks.

He suddenly felt his eyes wet.

Maybe it's the rain?

"Sorry, I can't tell you my real name." Bai Yi was silent for a long time, his attitude still firm.

"...I see. What a boring persistence."

Naruto turned around, looking at the funeral that was about to begin in the distance, and suddenly said:
"Since your ambition is to become my assistant, I will call you [Yusuke] from now on."

This name means to protect and assist, combined with the Japanese naming habits.

It doesn’t matter what the name is. What matters is that having a name means that he is no longer just a tool, but a living person.

Bai Yi, no, Yousuke was completely shocked. He stared blankly at the yellow-haired young man in front of him. Some emotions that had been hidden deep in his heart and had died for a long time seemed to show signs of awakening.

"Naruto-kun..." His voice trembled a little: "Why are you telling me all this as if it were your last wishes? Is what you are going to do next so dangerous?"

"Really, is it necessary to do this?"

Naruto looked at him calmly and said slowly: "Some things have to be done even if you don't want to. This is real life."

"Okay, there are a few more things to do next. Go and take care of them."
