Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 117 Found You, Hehe

Temari didn't say anything, just looked at Naruto silently, waiting for his explanation.

Seeing that no one spoke, Naruto understood that the effect had been achieved, so he explained:

"In fact, from the moment I saw through Orochimaru's conspiracy, I understood the situation of the Sand Shinobi. If we can't capture Konoha, the only possibility is to negotiate with Konoha."

"With all due respect, given the current strength of the Sand Shinobi, this possibility is unlikely. However, the endless war will eventually drag down Konoha. Rather than spinning in circles under the current situation, it is better to make changes and solve this problem once and for all."

When he said that the Sand Ninja could not conquer Konoha, he caused dissatisfaction among the young man, but he was immediately held down by other Sand Ninja, who were obviously more interested in what Naruto would say next.

"So when I saw Gaara, I immediately grasped a possibility, a precious opportunity for Konoha and the Sand Shinobi to form a strong alliance and buy Konoha some breathing space."

After he finished speaking, Temari's face darkened, but she still asked politely, "So this is still about profit, right?"

"Of course, humans are all selfish creatures, but this doesn't prevent me from caring about Gaara and sympathizing with him from the bottom of my heart."

"Just because you are all Jinchūriki?" A middle-aged Sand Ninja behind him couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, you are not me, it is difficult for you to understand the loneliness and pain, but I can."

After saying that, Naruto showed a sad expression at the right time, took a deep breath, adjusted his expression and continued: "If I can make Gaara better, it will surely be great news for the Sand Ninja, am I right?"

As soon as Naruto said this, everyone immediately looked at each other with different expressions, but they all had an intuitive understanding of Naruto's intentions.

He wanted to provide the Sand Shinobi with an emotionally stable Gaara...

Temari suddenly realized that Naruto's actions were impeccable both logically and emotionally, and it really seemed like a plan that a capable and skillful Jinchūriki would come up with.

But then, Naruto's words began to surprise people.

"Hehe, to go further, I think Gaara has the form of a Hokage... oh, sorry, the form of a Kazekage."

"what?"

Everyone's eyes gradually widened. This conclusion sounded too far-fetched. Gaara was still an immature child. How could he possibly be able to take on the responsibility of the Kazekage? Was it just because the previous Kazekage had passed away?
"Your words are too absurd." Another man among the Sand Ninja said in a deep voice.

"Interesting, do you dare to bet with me?"

"Sure, how much do you want to bet?"

"make a deal!"

Naruto rubbed his hands together in delight, pulled out a long list from his pocket, strode up to the man, and handed it to him: "If you lose, you'll pay according to what's on this. If I lose, I'll give you twice the amount... no, five times!"

The man was shocked and his eyes subconsciously looked at the note.

It contains detailed records of various ninja tools, supplies, and some ninjutsu from the Sand Ninja. The amount is staggering.

Isn't he a prisoner? Why would he bet so big and so specific?
The others, including Temari, came over and took a closer look, their expressions becoming increasingly strange.

This guy, he he he...

"You want to train Gaara to become the Kazekage?!" Temari looked at Naruto in confusion.

"……Um?"

Naruto frowned. He just wanted to simply steal some resources from the Sand Ninja. As long as Gaara was cured, it would only be a matter of time before he became the Kazekage.

It's like being reborn in 09 and buying Bitcoin.

Hiss, actually, if you think about it carefully, Uzumaki Naruto played a big role in Gaara's ability to live up to everyone's expectations and become the Wind Shadow!
It's just that in this time and space, he took the initiative to take on the important task of helping Gaara, and vowed that he would definitely become the Kazekage...

Putting words together like this, doesn't it mean that Naruto wants to train Gaara to be the Kazekage?!

This shouldn't matter... Naruto coughed and explained awkwardly: "Well, I have no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of the Sand Ninja. I just objectively think that only he is capable of doing this."

"What makes you think that we Sand Ninjas don't have other strong ones?" the young man asked excitedly.

Nonsense, don't you know how good you Sand Ninjas are... Naruto's mouth twitched, and he smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, then forget it. At worst, we won't gamble..."

"No, I bet you." The man put the note away silently with a serious expression.

He was not acting on impulse, but mainly wanted to see how Naruto would interfere with their selection of the Kazekage in the future.

You can't threaten all the elders during the meeting, right?

"You said you would accept the loss."

Naruto spread his hands. Everyone saw it. It wasn't that he insisted on betting, but mainly because his Sand Ninja friends didn't agree to cancel it. He was just trying to help others.

"Now that we've come to this, can we proceed with our bet with Gaara?"

Temari looked at everyone else and nodded.

He has made such a big bet, and if he can't cure Gaara, it will be Uzumaki Naruto who will suffer the loss.

Temari looked at Naruto, "I will take this letter to him, but I can't guarantee that he won't tear it up."

"So I need your help as my older sister... In this world, only family love is selfless."

After hearing this, Temari felt a little touched. What Naruto said was true, but Gaara was reduced to this state because of the harm done by his relatives.

I hope this trick of his will be useful.

"Well, farewell."

Naruto left the reception room without delay.

……

Naruto said goodbye to Bai Yi, walked around Konoha, and after confirming that there were no other abnormalities, he released the shadow clone.

"Well, we're finally back on track. I just don't know if this operation of mine will cause any changes."

Naruto created several shadow clones and began to practice summoning techniques and Flying Thunder God's lightning.

After Sasuke's crisis was initially alleviated, he finally didn't have to worry about the problem of chakra deficiency and was able to create multiple shadow clones to fully practice the new technique.

His next idea was to complete the proficient use of summoning and Flying Thunder God's Lightning while maintaining the illusion confrontation, and interspersed with high-intensity actual combat training.

He did not choose to continue learning new skills. Although new skills could enrich his combat methods, they might not necessarily improve his combat experience.

In addition, he also needs to start working with the original body to explore more possibilities.

"Judging from my previous performance, I have a better grasp of this body. I am adept at controlling the Nine-Tailed Fox's power, but my micro-manipulation in other areas is a bit crude."

"Then I can switch him over anytime during future combat training to hone my combat experience."

"Hmm... it reminds me of the twin martial spirits in Douluo Dalu, the Blue Silver Emperor. Let's... ahem, it's a bit raw."

Naruto let his thoughts wander for a while, then turned his attention back to training and focused on improving himself.

What he didn't realize was that someone had been targeting him near the hotel where he was staying.

At a high place some distance away from the hotel, a hooded figure stood quietly. He lowered the brim of his hat, revealing his silver hair, and raised his glasses.

Wusheng looked in Naruto's direction, a dangerous arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he smiled and said to himself:
"I found you, hehe."

Kabuto Yakushi appeared out of nowhere, deviated from the original plot, and began to take a strong interest in Naruto.

Butterflies flew over the sea, causing a violent storm.

……

A few days ago, Orochimaru's lair.

Under the dim light, the sound of flowing water could be faintly heard from the depths of the winding corridor, accompanied by the man's heavy breathing and weak roar, making the entire nest seem particularly creepy.

Kabuto Yakushi calmly prepared towels and various medicines, placed them aside, and waited for Orochimaru to finish his bath.

After a while, Orochimaru, his body trembling slightly, came out from the depths, spread out his hands, and Kabuto carefully wiped his body and helped him return to the bed.

"boom!"

Orochimaru took a sip of the medicine and accidentally knocked it over, causing the cup to break into pieces on the ground.

"Huh...Huh...that old immortal fellow..."

He cursed Sarutobi Hiruzen's cruelty for taking away his hands and making him suffer. Kabuto stood by and remained silent. Similar scenes had happened countless times.

The oppressive atmosphere lasted for a moment, and Orochimaru suddenly asked:
"Tsunade...did you find any trace of her?"

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru, intelligence indicates that she is currently in Tansho Street."

The candlelight began to tremble, reflecting Orochimaru's creepy smile.

"Very good...and did you do that?"

"You mean, about Uzumaki Naruto?"

"Hehehe," Orochimaru laughed dryly. He knew that Kabuto was a man of character, different from his other subordinates. He would not completely obey his orders. "You are not going to kill this child, are you?"

"How is that possible? He's the talk of Konoha right now, and he has a lot of people protecting him."

Kabuto calmly cleaned the filth on the floor and did not immediately respond to Orochimaru's words.

Orochimaru, sweating profusely, looked him in the eyes and said, "But you already know his whereabouts, right?"

Kabuto stopped what he was doing and said respectfully, "Yes."

"Very good. Next, try to contact him and tell him my intentions... and the gift I have prepared for him."

"However, Naruto is now with Jiraiya..."

"Oh?" Orochimaru was a little surprised. He wiped the sweat off his face and laughed dryly, "It's okay. Just go ahead and tell me."

"Yes."

Kabuto slowly backed away, disappearing into the shadows.

So why did Orochimaru target Naruto?

His original intention was to destroy Konoha, but Naruto's amazing performance and Hiruzen's unusual attention to him made him develop a strong interest in this person.

Getting such a person or destroying such a person would be a good revenge on his dear teacher.

As a master and a disciple, it is better to do your best to harm the other party - this is Orochimaru's idea.

But the interesting thing about this matter is that Kabuto Yakushi is an unstable factor.

He had previously expressed his desire to get rid of Sasuke, and although he was suppressed by Orochimaru, Naruto's existence once again made him eager to act.

Orochimaru showed a sinister smile: "Haha, this guy Kabuto might really kill Naruto, in this case..."

"That's when things get interesting."
