Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 127 Haruno Zhao: You want to play Burning Winter for me, right?

Oh my god, I’m so excited about this... This is what Naruto is thinking at this moment.

At this period in the original work, Tsunade was still under the shadow of her lover's death.

Specifically manifested as hemophobia + complete denial of the will of fire.

This is why Tsunade in the original work said a lot of nonsense at the beginning. This is a typical psychological defense mechanism to escape reality.

Therefore, Tsunade needs a strong opportunity to overturn the inherent concept. In the original work, Kishimoto's approach is:

Let Naruto learn the Rasengan (fulfill his promise) and protect Tsunade personally, at the cost of being seriously injured to prevent further infringement by Kabuto Yakushi.

The dual influence of action and verbal persuasion finally allowed Tsunade to complete her transformation. It was a very smooth process.

Now Naruto chooses to skip these preparations and directly bring the highest intensity of moral kidnapping to the table, severely torturing Tsunade's soul.

This approach is very radical.

Not only tell her that "you are not worthy of being Hokage", but also show her the consequences of shirking responsibility: the lives of Konoha ninjas will be lost, and the empire built by their ancestors will be destroyed by you.

When this big pot was put on Tsunade's head, she had to make a choice.

Naruto believes that this method of provocation will work because Tsunade is not a person without morals, she will be morally kidnapped.

But the consequence may be that Tsunade will be completely enraged and their relationship will deteriorate, but Naruto can't care less.

The four of them just stood there in a stalemate, with their momentum surging and the surrounding drinkers trembling with fear, until the owner of the izakaya came out and asked the big men to move away.

He suspected that if he didn't intervene, his shop would be in jeopardy.

The four of them walked out of the shop and came to the alley in the evening breeze.

Jiraiya had a complicated expression. He had traveled around the ninja world for decades, so how could he not see the intention behind Naruto's action?

Too impulsive... Actually, it's okay for me to have a good talk with Tsunade... Jiraiya doesn't want to force Tsunade emotionally. He is a free and easy person, and since he likes Tsunade, he is naturally willing to respect her choice.

Even though Tsunade might reject them next.

Shizune's expression was heavy. The scene of the young boy shedding tears left a deep impression on her. At that moment, she even felt a little bit of blame towards Lady Tsunade.

But she soon realized that she was being instigated by Naruto, but she respected Naruto's thoughts, so she remained silent.

Tsunade looked up at the sky, letting the breeze blow on her face, blowing away the smell of alcohol on her body. Then she took a deep breath, looked at Jiraiya, and said softly:

"Did you teach him to say this?"

"You want to convince me with this?"

Shizune looked at Naruto, who shook his head and said solemnly, "These are my own thoughts. The lecherous sage knows nothing."

Jiraiya was silent, having drunk a lot of wine, and did not respond immediately.

In fact, it is the default.

Tsunade avoided Naruto's gaze, mainly because his performance just now was too intense, and she felt like she was looking directly into the dazzling sun.

It's not her fault. Naruto's performance just now was not about technique, it was all about emotion.

I didn’t mess up this time, did I?… Naruto looked at Tsunade who didn’t continue talking, and suddenly doubted himself, but quickly denied it.

The fact that she doesn't dare to look me in the eye just proves that what I said touched her heart.

Next, Naruto will put an end to his provocation.

"I know what you're thinking. You just want to say that the Will of Fire is ridiculous and that the death of the Third Generation Grandfather was ridiculous, right?"

Tsunade remained silent.

"Heh," Naruto sneered, but Tsunade still didn't refute this.

Friend, how does it feel to finish what you were saying ahead of time?
Then, Naruto suddenly said something shocking: "You like to gamble, why don't we make a bet."

As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them looked at Naruto at the same time.

Tsunade frowned, "What do you want to bet on?"

"Bet on your sincerity."

Naruto paused and explained, "Come back to Konoha with us. If you are completely indifferent to the current situation of Konoha and my close friend Rock Lee, then I will offer you all my existing assets."

"If you hesitate or waver, then you must heal Rock Lee's injuries free of charge and provide a treatment plan."

Naruto did not mention the matter of Hokage. He did not believe that Tsunade would remain indifferent if she really returned to Konoha.

As soon as she wavered, the Hokage advisor and Jiraiya would all follow her and directly put her in the position of Hokage at the speed of light.

However, even if she succeeds, there is a hidden danger, that is, it will be difficult for her to overcome hemophobia in a short period of time, so Naruto must continue to think of a solution.

Tsunade overcomes her hemophobia, Gaara overcomes her loneliness, and Sasuke maintains his base. These three goals must be achieved at the same time so that Naruto and Sakura can rest assured.

Just like some games require full stars to get full rewards.

But when Naruto finished speaking, Tsunade did not agree immediately, but hesitated. Finally, she looked at Naruto and said

"I reject."

"Why should I agree to your capricious bet?"

It seems that I am still too hasty. Hmm, let's try again... Naruto was silent for a moment and asked, "Are you afraid of losing?"

"I can continue to increase the stakes. For example, if I lose, I will give you all the commission fees for the next five years."

"That way you can gamble to your heart's content."

Tsunade's face showed a hint of anger: "I'm not short of money."

"So you're not interested in chips. Then tell me, what do you need now?"

Naruto knew that Nawaki and Kato Dan were Tsunade's thorns, but he had no reason to know this information now. Tsunade's face was gloomy: "Why should I tell you? How can a little brat like you have the ability to fulfill my wish?"

"So it's not that I don't have it, I just feel like I can't do it."

At this point, Naruto sighed inwardly. In his opinion, resurrecting his lover was definitely not the best solution for psychological treatment. Letting go of the obsession with resurrecting his lover was the best solution.

The subtlety here is that Tsunade in the original work seemed to have figured it out naturally and then rejected Orochimaru's request.

It may also be that she didn't want to allow Orochimaru to continue threatening Konoha.

Tsunade remained silent, and Jiraiya tried to smooth things over: "Let's stop here for tonight, Tsunade. This kid is a bit aggressive, so please bear with me."

Naruto shook his head slowly. His combination of punches still couldn't break Tsunade's heart knot.

But he won't give up.

At least leave a wedge.

"Three days... No, two days, give me two days."

Naruto suddenly spoke, and the three of them looked at him sideways. He continued, "In two days, I will come up with a bargaining chip that will satisfy you."

Tsunade's eyelids twitched, and then she snorted, and then said something shocking: "Interesting boy, I'll give you a code too."

"If you can convince me to return to Konoha, I will give you this necklace around my neck."

Now it was Naruto's turn to be shocked. He never expected that this would trigger elements of the original plot.

No, in fact this behavior is in line with Tsunade's psychology.

She made a bet with the necklace because she subconsciously had expectations of Naruto, hoping that Naruto could truly persuade her to return to Konoha.

In other words, she was moved by Naruto's persistence, but she didn't even realize it herself.

"Lady Tsunade!" Shizune was shocked. She didn't expect that Lady Tsunade would use this as a bet.

"Interesting. You force your necklace on me without even asking me what I need. I'll just assume it's worth a lot."

By the way, Naruto is now considering whether to sell this necklace later.

It's nothing, Naruto is just pure confidence. He thinks it's a pity to use this good thing to restrain the Nine-Tails.

Kyuubi is now his comrade-in-arms, so there's no way he'd betray him, right?
Naruto's mind dived into the space and looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox digging its butt with its claws, and then he retracted his previous thoughts.

Forget it.

The two reached a bet that was more demanding than the original novel. The time was shorter, and a chip was required to satisfy Tsunade.

Whether or not she is satisfied is up to Tsunade, and it is entirely up to her free opinion.

"Damn it, agree to it first! I don't believe that I can't deal with Tsunade-sama with the advantage of being a time traveler."

Naruto thought to himself and said goodbye to the two.

……

At the same time, Konoha Village.

Sasuke sat in the living room, politely took the hot tea from Haruno Meibuki, looked at Haruno Zhao, and accepted the scrutiny of his old father.

He deliberately chose to visit tonight because Sakura had previously stated that she would be back very late today.

Take advantage of the time difference to catch her off guard.

But why does Sakura's father look at me like that...

Sasuke couldn't help but feel puzzled. He and this man who looked like a golden lion and had a lion in his eyes had never met before. Why was the latter looking at him with such a look?

You are obviously dressed very appropriately?

Sasuke didn't know that ever since Naruto and Sakura's 'tryst' that day (at least that's what Haruno Zhao thought), Sakura had become radiant, her breath was no longer short, her body was no longer weak, like a withered flower coming back to life.

Damn it, Naruto didn’t touch my daughter, did he?

Haruno Zhao is an experienced person. He understands that Sakura is in the stage of teenage love and originally did not want to disturb her youth, but not long after, another one comes!
And he’s quite handsome!
what happened? !
And Haruno Zhao caught a detail: Sakura's face looked unhappy recently.

Last time, my daughter looked unhappy, and then she went out with that wild boy, and wow, her look became better again!
At this moment, just as at that moment.

But to be honest, Haruno Zhao is not a pedantic person.

Naruto is a pretty decent-looking kid, and he has been gaining good reputation lately. His mother also has a good impression of him.

He had no reason to object to the marriage.

But now?

Another one?
What are you doing?
However, Haruno Zhao is still young. If he had watched "Burning Winter", he might understand the development of this strange relationship between the characters.

Burning Winter: Naruto Youth Edition

This guy can't possibly come and 'heal' my daughter, right?

The more Haruno Zhao thought about it, the more unhappy he became, his face gradually turning pale. Seeing his expression, Sasuke quickly realized the problem:
Sakura's father seemed to have seen through the purpose of his visit.

But why was he so angry? Could it be that he didn't want to share his past with the people of Konoha?
Sasuke remained calm and told the excuse he had prepared earlier: "Thanks to your daughter for taking care of me before, I took the liberty of visiting you today to express my gratitude."

After saying that, he handed the exquisite gift box beside him to Meibuki. The latter was a little surprised. After taking it and opening it, she found some desserts from the dumpling shop.

Not expensive, but a thoughtful gesture.

This was a little trick that Naruto had taught him earlier. He called it "managing relationships" and said that the revival of the Uchiha clan was inseparable from this thing.

Sasuke memorized it and put it into practice.

However, he did not anticipate Haruno Zhao's subsequent reaction.
