Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 124 This Naruto is too radical
Konoha Village, Ninja School.

"I didn't expect you to come visit the teacher, Sasuke."

In the office, Iruka was organizing the documents on the table while looking at Sasuke who was a little restrained next to him, with a look of surprise and relief on his face.

It was indeed unexpected that Uchiha Sasuke would return to school to visit his teacher for the first time.

"Teacher Iruka..." Sasuke hesitated, thinking about how to ask.

He returned to school under the pretext of visiting his teacher, but in fact he was trying to gather information about Sakura and verify his own guess.

"Actually, today, I came to see the teacher with some questions."

After thinking for a moment, Sasuke decided to get straight to the point; beating around the bush was not in line with his character.

"Questions?" Iruka stopped what he was doing, looking a little puzzled. "Tell me, what are your questions?"

"My classmate has been having some troubles lately, and it involves her family. She doesn't want to talk too much, but I'm worried about her mental state, so I wanted to ask you about her situation."

This reason sounds reasonable, but it seems a little too human for Sasuke. In other words, too anthropomorphic.

Iruka was a little surprised at first, but he was relatively simple-minded and subconsciously thought that time had changed Sasuke. In addition, he was also a little concerned, so he quickly asked: "Is it Naruto? Has Naruto encountered any troubles recently?"

"No, it's Sakura."

"Ah..." Iruka breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately realized that he had been too partial. He coughed and asked, "Sakura...what happened to her?"

"That's the problem. I don't know what happened to her, I just know it's a family matter,"

After that, Sasuke stared at Iruka and said, "Do you know Sakura's family situation?"

After these words were spoken, Iruka did not say anything. He held his chin and began to think, frowning slightly.

To be honest, he didn't have a deep impression of the family backgrounds of Naruto's classmates; there wasn't anything noteworthy about them. Furthermore, he spent most of his spare time taking care of Naruto, Choji, Shikamaru, Kiba, and the others.

Haruno Sakura... Iruka remembered that her family background was nothing special, and she was not born into a prominent family, but her academic performance in school was very good, especially her theoretical performance was extremely excellent.

No need to come to me specially, right?

"Ahem, could it be that she has a conflict with her family?" Iruka asked tentatively, looking at Sasuke with a strange look in his eyes.

Sasuke said nothing, but sighed in his heart.

If Iruka knew Sakura's situation clearly, he shouldn't at least act so nonchalant.

Either his speculation was wrong, or Iruka's authority was too low and he had no access to Sakura's file.

"Sorry, I'm so abrupt. Let's stop here for now..." Sasuke said, and suddenly noticed the photos on Iruka's desk.

"Is this Naruto?"

"Ah~ The photos Konohamaru sent me before, not only Naruto, but also the ones who graduated at the same time as me, I have them all."

He suddenly became interested and began to share with Sasuke the photos taken by Konohamaru. Most of them were related to Naruto, but there were also some of the other Twelve Strongmen.

Iruka seemed lost in memories, and said with a nostalgic look, "Back then, Naruto and the others were either sleeping or making trouble in my class, and their grades were always at the bottom. I didn't expect that they have become adults in the blink of an eye..."

Sasuke was silently flipping through the photos, listening to Iruka chattering like an old mother. Suddenly, his pupils shrank and his heart trembled violently!
"I'm sorry, what did you say?"

"Huh? I said you became an adult in the blink of an eye, what's going on?"

"No, the last sentence!"

Iruka was a little confused and whispered uncertainly, "Either sleeping or making trouble, and his grades are always the worst... Is that it?"

He asked Sasuke for confirmation, but the latter just stood there with his eyes wide open, as if he had encountered something unspeakable and terrifying.

Uchiha Sasuke was lost in childhood memories.

……

"Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke!"

With a loud shout from young Iruka, the small Naruto and Sasuke came out. The former shouted at Sasuke: "Let's fight it out, Sasuke! I will definitely not lose this time."

"Fool."

Little Sasuke had a look of disdain on his face, and his natural pretentiousness soon caused the girls around him to scream and shout.

The two men saluted and then started ninja sparring. In less than a minute, Sasuke easily won.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Little Naruto gritted his teeth, sat up with a somersault, and continued to talk tough to Sasuke, but Sasuke just shook his head slowly:
"The end of the crane."

……

"Next, Uzumaki Naruto!"

Naruto, wearing goggles, walked up, made seals with his hands, had a constipated expression, and looked determined.

"Uh ...

"Oh!"

"Idiot! You big idiot! Don't create stupid ninjutsu!!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Laughter and cheers could be heard all around, but only Sasuke beside him found it noisy.

... "My name is Uzumaki Naruto, and my dream is to get a jonin position and then lead a genin squad or something."

……

"Sasuke, Sasuke?"

Iruka patted Sasuke's shoulder, bringing the latter's consciousness back to reality.

"Are you okay?" Iruka's face showed concern and confusion.

"Excuse me, can I see Naruto's grades during his time at school?"

"Naruto?" Iruka was stunned at first, then burst into laughter: "Do you even need to look at Naruto's grades? They must be all the worst."

"yes……"

Sasuke said goodbye politely to Iruka and left the ninja school.

His brows were furrowed, his eyes were serious, and he was racking his brains to think about something. He didn't even notice the man in white who was following him.

Sasuke has been trying to explore Sakura's past, but in fact, he has always ignored Uzumaki Naruto's past. When this matter was brought to the surface, things began to become inconsistent.

But why did he feel offended?
He couldn't help but stand there, thinking hard for a long time, and finally understood the source of this sense of disharmony:

A sense of disconnection.

Naruto's transformation is so huge that it is unbelievable, and the gap between before and after is full of discontinuity.

"My impression of Naruto has always been that he's a hot-blooded idiot and a laggard, but since the Wave Country mission, he's been completely transformed. His strength and character have improved a lot... No, maybe he changed before that."

He unknowingly walked towards the Uchiha clan's territory and continued to ponder: "Naruto has always wanted to defeat me, but after becoming a Genin, he no longer insisted on defeating me, but his strength also began to surpass mine."

"Naruto's grades have always been at the bottom of the class, but now he can develop new techniques in the spiritual realm and has made progress... No, it may also be Sakura's help..."

"Whatever the case, something must have happened to cause Naruto's transformation."

This conclusion is infinitely close to the truth.

"Could it be related to Sakura..." Sasuke paused. He felt that this speculation was very likely, because during that time, besides himself, Sakura was the only one who had long-term contact with Naruto.

Could it be that Naruto knew Sakura's secret and his mentality changed, which led to the earth-shaking changes?

So that's why they are together?
"Oh, no, there's still too little information."

Sasuke was very annoyed. He originally thought it was a small matter, but now he found that there were many mysteries behind this matter.

Before he knew it, he had reached the Uchiha cemetery.

Coming to the tombstone, staring silently at the inscription above, Sasuke secretly made a decision, a decision that would completely change his life:

He wants to dig out the truth about Naruto and Sakura!

So why is Sasuke so obsessed with this matter? Is it because Naruto and Sakura are not good to him?
On the contrary, Naruto and Sakura were so nice to him that Sasuke was afraid, fearing that they had other plans for him.

He already regarded the two of them as his cherished companions, but what if these companions were hiding something important from him and he couldn't see through them at all?

He had been betrayed once by Uchiha Itachi, and he didn't want to be betrayed a second time.

If this happened twice, he would definitely go completely crazy.

Thinking of this, Sasuke's body began to tremble, and then he slowly knelt down in front of the tombstone.

He was scared.

He was afraid that his guess was true, that Naruto and Sakura were actually bad people, that everything they had done for Sasuke before was fake, and that his life was a complete lie.

"No, this kind of thing..."

Sasuke's expression was a little distorted, and before he knew it, his eyes switched to scarlet magatama eyes, and the two magatama that had been silent for a long time actually began to show signs of splitting.

This seems to be the fate of all powerful Uchiha clan members - constantly jumping into deep emotional pits and then smashing themselves to pieces.

……

On the other side, the Sand Village.

The dusty team slowly returned to the village.

The blade-like north wind tore at the rammed earth city walls, and the sharp edges were blurred into round arcs by wind erosion.

The midday sun melted the gravel into liquid gold, and the scorching waves seeped into the cloth veils, leaving fine cracks in the corners of the villagers' dark brown eyes.

Temari and her group quickly entered the center of the Sand Village. They first found the elders who were in charge of the meeting and reported the important matters to them. Then, a busy meeting began, and everyone discussed and confirmed the relevant matters of Konoha.

The letter Naruto wrote to Gaara naturally became one of the key points for the Sand Ninja high-level officials to review. At first, only one or two people read it together, and then it became circulated among the high-level officials. In the end, their expressions became somewhat complicated.

"Everyone, do you have anything to say about the bet between Uzumaki Naruto and Gaara?"

Maki spoke first, and the others looked at each other and expressed their opinions.

An elder spoke first:
"Actually, this is a good thing. The two Jinchuriki are talking to each other, and it's also an opportunity for Gaara."

"But to be honest, after reading this letter, I am still a little worried, mainly because the words used by Uzumaki Naruto in the letter are too radical."

As soon as he finished speaking, several elders immediately expressed their agreement, thinking that Naruto's remarks in the letter should at least be more tactful. Isn't he afraid that Gaara will get angry if he is so direct?
However, some elders expressed the opposite opinion: "It is a bit radical, but it is written very sincerely. If I were Gaara, I might be convinced by this letter."

"You know, Gaara's brothers and sisters have read this letter, and they all said there's nothing wrong with it. Do we know Gaara better than they do?"
