Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 122 Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura's Werewolf Killing (4000 words)
But soon, Sasuke immediately realized a painful point.

In this tragedy, someone may have profited from it and gained some benefits.

Uzumaki Naruto.

Why do you say that?

Because he and Sakura actually became lovers in a short period of time. Sakura was indifferent to Naruto before graduating from the ninja school, but their relationship heated up rapidly after Team 7 was formed.

This is very unusual. Combined with the fact that Naruto knows the truth about Sakura, Sasuke quickly deduces another conclusion:
Naruto is very cunning. He took advantage of Sakura when she was at her most vulnerable and stole her heart!
Well, that fits Sasuke's imagination of Uzumaki Naruto.

But unfortunately, Naruto also helped him a lot in the Uchiha incident. Sasuke couldn't do the thing of backstabbing Naruto, but he always felt that something was wrong regardless...

"Chichi! Chichi! Chichi!"

"Squeak-"

Sasuke noticed that many rats had begun to move towards him, and he could faintly hear disconcerting sounds deep in the first floor.

He stretched his muscles, left the classroom, and encountered a large number of shiny rats in the corridor.

Sasuke's face darkened, a hint of anger showing through his face: "It was you who caused Sakura to leave her hometown, right?"

His whole body was emitting lightning, and he was holding a kunai as he rushed towards the tidal wave of rats below.

Sasuke knew very well what it felt like to lose family, so he could empathize with Sakura's 'experience' very well, and as a result, he became more and more skilled at stabbing the rat.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

One after another, the sharp spikes carrying lightning pierced the rats' internal organs. Sasuke was unstoppable and killed the rats at the stairs, forcing them to flee in all directions.

At the same time, the screams from the bottom of the building became louder and sharper, making Sasuke suddenly realize that the destruction of Sakura's hometown might not be just a simple rat tide.

There might be a rat king hiding underneath!
Thinking of this, Sasuke's heart was filled with fighting spirit.

It is obvious that the Rat King, like his inner demon weasel, is the ultimate BOSS in the mental space. As long as they are defeated, the psychological shadow will be greatly curbed.

Sasuke realized that this was an opportunity for him to gain experience and grow in actual combat, and it would be even more effective than fighting against the inner demon Itachi!
He decided to leave Sakura's mental space before he was about to run out of energy.

……

Time returns to the present.

Shadow clone Naruto continued to supply warmth to Sakura's body. The latter frowned and looked like she would wake up at any moment, but this did not dispel Naruto's anxiety.

He looked around and began to wonder whether he should call for help.

Kakashi? Jiraiya? These two were experienced and not as easy to deceive as Sasuke. How to explain the fragments would be a problem.

Yusuke (in white)? He's a very tight-lipped person, and he won't ask questions he shouldn't ask. But if he figures out his identity as an alien from another world through clues, will he still remain as loyal as before?
Don't test human nature lightly.

At this time, a twisted and rotating space began to appear beside Sakura, and Sasuke, covered in scars, fell out of it. Naruto's pupils shrank, and he quickly put Sakura down and came to Sasuke.

"Sasuke! Turn over and let me see…"

But before Naruto could finish, Sasuke sat up and looked at Naruto with a look of fatigue and excitement in his eyes.

Could this pillar also be contaminated? Naruto handed him a pill of military rations, and he immediately took it, chewed it, and explained vaguely, "There's a rat king in Sakura's spiritual space. I've been dealing with this beast for many days and almost starved myself to death."

"Is there water?"

Naruto immediately stood up and flew to his home, quickly retrieving a pot of water and handing it to Sasuke, who gulped down the drink.

"Drink slowly. Drinking too much at once can hurt your stomach."

"know."

Sasuke wiped his mouth, his stomach growling again. His cheeks flushed, and he quickly said he was fine and would return to his spiritual space to continue exterminating the Rat King.

"Replenish your nutrition and go in later."

Naruto took a deep breath and continued to concentrate his chakra. It must be said that the intense use of Flying Thunder God during this period had greatly improved his proficiency, and it was already approaching the level of Minato Namikaze at his peak.

"Whoosh!"

Naruto began to run around, getting some food for Sasuke, summoning his original body, getting towels and other items for Sakura to wipe her clean, and so on.

Naruto's real body came to Sasuke and Sakura, summoned a shadow clone, and said that he and Sasuke would take turns entering the spiritual space to clean up the rats around the Rat King first.

After Naruto's shadow clone entered the spiritual space, the real Naruto asked about what happened.

five minutes later.

"Are you sure you heard the click?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but after Sakura threw that punch, the black monster ran away."

"Um……"

Naruto pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is this monster coming for you or Sakura?"

"do not know."

"Ok."

"Naruto, shouldn't you explain this to me?"

"This monster? He caught Sakura and I developing a new technique and stole some of our research results."

Naruto had already thought of the words when the shadow clone notified him: "He can now pollute our minds and make us indulge in psychological shadows. Be careful when you meet him in the future and try to avoid physical contact."

"So that's how Sakura was polluted." Sasuke nodded and looked at Naruto, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

"what happened?"

"Uh...nothing."

Sasuke avoided looking at Naruto. In fact, he really wanted to confirm the truth about Sakura with Naruto, but he always felt that Naruto would hide some facts.

After all, he and Sakura already have that kind of relationship, so it's inevitable that he will have his own concerns.

Instead of listening to Naruto's excuses, it's better to verify it yourself.

But Naruto was no pushover. He keenly noticed Sasuke's strange reaction and immediately asked, "Did something happen to you?"

"It's nothing, maybe I'm too tired and can't concentrate." Sasuke shook his head and acted weak.

"Then I'll do the dungeon myself later. You take a good rest."

"No, no, I feel fine. I can still hold on."

Naruto glanced at Sasuke, who immediately perked up, and sneered in his heart.

With your little cunning, can you really hide it from my sharp eyes?

Hey, Brother Zhuzi is good in every way, except that he is a little bit naive and easily deceived.

Naruto knew very well that Sasuke must have encountered something that required him to hide it from him.

So what exactly happened? During this time, apart from fighting the mastermind behind the incident, he also went into Sakura's memory space.

Could it be that something happened before he encountered the evil hand? His life didn't have much entertainment besides cultivation, so even if he heard some rumors on the road, he wouldn't hide them. Memory space...

Naruto suddenly realized that Sasuke had stayed in Sakura's memory space for a long time and might have discovered many factors that were not related to the ninja world.

Could it be that he has already seen through the truth of time travel?
Naruto thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Sasuke, were all these injuries on your body caused by the Rat King?"

"Not all of them. There were also some smaller rats that attacked me when I wasn't paying attention."

"I see... Actually, you should hide in those rooms and roam around with them, clearing out a batch of rats first before approaching the Rat King. That's what Sakura and I did before."

"Hiding in the classroom? Don't worry, I know."

"Yeah." Naruto stopped talking and suddenly said, "So you know these rooms are classrooms?"

Sasuke looked up suddenly and saw Naruto staring at him calmly. Feeling guilty for a moment, he subconsciously avoided Naruto's gaze, but Naruto saw all of this.

But he quickly reacted and said calmly, "I can tell it's a classroom at first glance."

Naruto's heart sank after hearing this.

He definitely knew something.

Sasuke's lack of brains doesn't mean he is a fool. In fact, he is very good at thinking and reasoning, but in the original work, most of his energy is spent on training and revenge.

The two fell into silence again. After Naruto's shadow clone was released, they began to take turns entering the memory space to sweep. However, this time the Rat King learned his lesson. It realized that someone was trying to attack it, so it chose to hide underground and let the tide of rats block their way.

After working like this for an hour, Sakura finally opened her eyes.

"Huh... Let's stop here for now. We'll organize regular raids from now on."

Naruto and Sasuke plopped down on the ground and watched as Sakura rubbed her eyes before standing up and looking towards the two of them.

"You guys..." She quickly recalled the accident during the day and guessed that she had been unconscious for a long time, and Naruto and Sasuke pulled her back from the edge of the cliff.

"Let's go back first." Naruto saw Sakura recovered and was about to take the two of them back to his home, but he saw Sakura quietly put something in her hand into Naruto's hand.

Naruto's eyelids twitched, and he silently put the fragment in his pocket.

Obviously, these were the fragments that Sakura grabbed from the inside after smashing her fist into the black liquid.

In other words, they now have two 'keys' to open the memory space.

However, Sakura did not choose to tell Sasuke about this immediately.

Naruto flew the two back home, and the Uchiha clan land fell into silence again.

A minute later, a white figure appeared at the location where they had been fighting. The man in white glanced at the scene and then murmured doubtfully:

"What are they doing?"

He had been there since the evening, staring in Naruto's direction.

This wasn't an act of usurpation by the White-Cloaked Man. It was mainly because Naruto and his men made too much noise. If he hadn't held down the Anbu who came to check the situation, who knows what terrible consequences would have occurred.

"That's not how you do things that are unspeakable..."

Bai Yi's intuition told him that this involved a secret.

"Let's clean up this battlefield first." He started to clean up for Naruto like a scavenger.

……

Naruto's home.

The three of them resumed their previous sitting positions. Naruto took out some leftover snacks from the refrigerator and made a pot of tea for the two of them to replenish their energy.

"How do you feel now?" Naruto looked at Sakura who was eating snacks.

"It's not bad, just a little worse than before."

"Okay, then we'll continue our campaign against the Rat King tomorrow."

Naruto looked at Sasuke who occasionally glanced at Sakura and sighed silently in his heart:

Why does this give me the feeling of a melodramatic Korean drama?
He really wanted to know how much Sasuke knew about Sakura, but he didn't know how to start.

Sakura also noticed the strange atmosphere. She frowned and asked Sasuke, "Is there something on my face?"

Sasuke turned his head away: "No."

"Then why do you keep looking at me?"

"You're mistaken."

Sasuke frowned and coldly denied three times in a row, but this did not dispel Sakura's doubts. Suddenly, she realized something and looked at Naruto with a questioning look. Naruto had a blank expression and did not react at all.

A crisis of trust arose among the three, and their friendship began to falter.

There was a strange silence for a moment, and Naruto suddenly spoke:

"Okay... let's not hold it in anymore. Let's be honest and say what's really on our mind."

He fired the first shot of the Werewolf Kill, intending to find out Sasuke's true thoughts.

"Okay, you speak first." Sasuke was not grateful at all and planned to wait and see how Naruto would explain it.

"Okay, I'll go first," Naruto knew that he had to reveal some shocking news. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing the child.

"After what happened today, we already know Sakura's background very well."

This sentence was like a depth bomb exploding in the hearts of the three people. Sasuke felt as if his heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect Naruto to be so direct and choose to go straight to the point.

Sakura's eyebrows were knitted together. To be honest, she was a little confused, but she remained calm on the surface. Now she had the least information among the three of them, so she should understand that silence is golden.

"That's easy to say, Sasuke. Don't you just have questions about Sakura's past? If you have any questions, ask them now and let Sakura help you answer them."

Sakura immediately understood what Naruto meant. Sasuke must have known something and that was why he was so worried. She now wanted to play a double act with Naruto to test whether Sasuke knew the truth about the time travel.

She first deliberately showed a hint of surprise, then looked thoughtful, and finally nodded to Sasuke:
"Um... no problem, go ahead and ask."

But for Sasuke, this move is extremely insidious.

It seems that Naruto has revealed a huge amount of information in just a few sentences, but in fact, what he said are things that the three of them know very well. If Sasuke really follows Naruto's words and asks further, then he will be exposed.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes, looked at the two of them, and slowly uttered a few words:
"I'm OK."

After saying that, he didn't forget to stab Naruto: "Really... I don't know what you are talking about."

Naruto's eyes twitched. Is this kid determined not to say a word today?

"Then why did you lie to me just now? You were obviously watching me secretly the whole time."

Sakura increased her intensity. Since Sasuke was unwilling to accept the attack, she took the initiative to force Sasuke to attack.

The attitude seems to be as if you can't go back tonight unless you explain clearly.

Looking at Sakura's eyes filled with a hint of anger, Sasuke was a little dazed for a moment. Could it be that his actions offended Sakura, and he really should be more honest?
Or was it that she was considered to have ulterior motives just because she glanced at her a few times?
Sasuke subconsciously looked at Naruto, but Naruto immediately shifted his gaze to the white ceiling.
