Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 161: Sakura and Ming's Private Conversation (4K)

"Just an arrogant guy, there's nothing to be wary of."

Deidara snorted coldly and began to stop the bleeding. His pace slowed down, and Scorpion also stopped, signaling the two to rest for a while.

"Hiss...ah! It hurts so much!" Deidara gritted his teeth, sweating slightly on his head. This injury was not simple. If not treated properly, he might die from excessive blood loss.

Scorpion ignored it and analyzed it on his own:

"I told you to be careful not only because of his strength. As a Konoha man, he was able to see through the identities of me and the Third Kazekage in an instant. This shows that he has a broad vision, which is very rare for a Jinchūriki."

"Why do you say that?"

"The Jinchūriki is the weapon of the ninja village. Most people would choose to lock the Jinchūriki in the village and not let them go out."

Deidara understood and narrowed his eyes: "But he is different, and he seems to be very good at using the power of the Nine-Tails. That chakra just now came from the Nine-Tails, right?"

"Haha, not only that," Scorpion continued, "My spies told me that Uzumaki Naruto played a big role in Gaara becoming the Wind Shadow."

"Hmm?" Deidara frowned. This was beyond his expectations.

In his early years, Deidara took on commissions from many organizations and carried out many terrorist attacks. His impression of the leaders of those major countries remained at the level of "weaklings".

Being able to support Gaara to take the throne, is Uzumaki Naruto also a politician?
"Hey, is that Uzumaki Naruto a high-ranking official in the ninja village?"

"Who knows..." Scorpion also had only a vague idea about this. This was thanks to the fact that Konoha's Anbu had been consciously blocking news about Naruto in recent years, treating it as the top internal secret.

"This is so interesting..." Deidara exclaimed.

He is very powerful and can influence the current political arena in the ninja world. He also looks very arrogant, just like Uchiha Itachi back then.

Is it necessary to blow up such a person?

"Once I finish this job, I'll go find him immediately. If I can kill him, my Deidara's art will be recorded in history!"

"You'd better consider whether you will be killed by him." Scorpion shook his head. Deidara looked like a dead man, and he would definitely not join him in throwing himself into a flame.

He also had a vague feeling that he could not defeat Uzumaki Naruto.

Then you can't do anything wrong.

……

the other side.

Naruto found a few huge rocks nearby and nailed several Flying Thunder God Kunai into the cracks of the rocks to prevent the wind and sand from blowing them away. After doing this, he nodded in satisfaction.

Of course, he could choose to fly directly to Deidara with Chiyo and others, but this would also bring certain risks.

What if Deidara was also waiting? What if Deidara cut off his own arm and threw it into a trap? These were all possible.

So to be on the safe side, he also set coordinates on the battlefield here.

Naruto didn't go back immediately, but began to plan his next move.

"It's not easy... Breaking Chiyo's inner demons isn't as simple as just having her kill Scorpion. It also requires letting her let go and move on in the process."

"In the original novel, it was the original's tears that moved Gaara to sacrifice his life, but this sincerity doesn't fit the style of my time-traveling Naruto."

At this moment, Naruto felt a warmth in his chest.

Tell me how the original work progressed?

"Oh, next time, next time for sure."

During his training, Naruto revealed the truth to me, and I now know that the entire ninja world was created by a man named Masashi Kishimoto.

It was hard for him to accept it at first, but he eventually got relieved. After all, the world might be fake, but the emotions and bonds experienced in this world were real.

[Why don't you let me talk to Grandma Chiyo? ]

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then immediately thought that this seemed like a good idea.

I have to say that I am a master of verbal persuasion in the ninja world just like him, and maybe it can really work wonders at the critical moment.

[In short, try to use the gradient 1 (pure verbal attack) method as much as possible, and use less fragment power.]

"Ah."

'Don't use the power of fragments at will' This conclusion also came from a major discovery Naruto made during his training over the past two or three years.

The fragments will continue to get smaller. In other words, the force that the fragments can carry is limited.

This suddenly made Naruto realize that no wonder the mastermind had been hiding behind the scenes and acting like a big shot. It turned out that the power he possessed was not unlimited.

In other words, whether it is bringing in time travelers or polluting the natives of the ninja world, there is a quota limit here.

If Naruto's camp can exhaust the power of the mastermind, he will win; if the mastermind can master enough deadly ninjutsu before his power is exhausted, he will win.

Thinking of this, Naruto brought his thoughts back to reality and teleported back to the coordinates of Sunagakure.

On the Sand Village side.

Sakura's operation was proceeding in an orderly manner. She had already changed several basins of medicine, and Kankuro's complexion was visibly improving.

Chiyo, Temari, and Maki were waiting in the corridor outside when they saw Naruto's true form slowly walking towards them.

Looking at the traces of fierce battle on Naruto's body, Chiyo couldn't help but frown and hurriedly asked, "Have you seen my grandson?"

Naruto nodded with a smile, and then said: "Your grandson is not simple, his puppetry is superb."

"Where's Gaara?" Temari also came over, and Naruto shook his head:
"Unfortunately, the strength of these two Akatsuki members should not be underestimated. I was able to fight them to a draw, and I'm lucky to have saved my life."

After hearing this, Maki's pupils shrank slightly. He had seen what Deidara did last night. The giant explosive clay that could blow up the entire Sand Village in one breath was really exaggerated.

But the young man in front of him said that he could barely fight a draw with the two people including the bomber?

Maki subconsciously wanted to complain: "Could it be possible that you are stronger than Gaara?" But then he thought, oh no, it's really possible.

Temari was a little depressed. After Naruto said a few words of concern, he pulled Chiyo aside.

"Granny Chiyo, this time I want you to be the main attacker and defeat the Scorpion of the Red Sand yourself."

Chiyo's heart trembled, and then she smiled bitterly and said, "You are so direct. Don't you consider that he is my grandson?"

Naruto shook his head, his expression a little serious: "This is for your own good. Some grudges can only be resolved so that you can move on."

"Do you understand the point of this sentence, mother-in-law? The key is to look forward."

After hearing this, Chiyo fell into a long silence. Then she said with emotion, "As expected of the Chief Psychological Consultant, you spoke right through my heart."

Human beings are social animals composed of the past, present and future. Too many people are bound by the past and suffer from mental illness over a long period of time.

Naruto hopes that Chiyo can reconcile with her past self, so only she can take Sasori's life, and it must be meaningful, at least not weaker than the original.

In the original novel, Scorpion failed to dodge on purpose and was killed by the puppets [Mom and Dad]. Afterwards, he revealed the spy's information to the original novel's Sakura in the name of a reward.

The reason is simple. This is a two-way reconciliation process. Chiyo reconciled with her past self, and Scorpion also got tired of the fighting and reconciled with Chiyo. Now that Chiyo has been tainted, what Naruto has to do is to surpass the original.

Not simple.

……

Time unknowingly came to evening.

The operation on Kankuro has been completed and he is now out of danger. Next, Sakura will lead the medical team to prepare an antidote.

The medical ninjas of Sunagakure were deeply impressed by the young woman, and with the help of Sakura, they also began to develop a strong interest in psychotherapy.

The group entered the medicine garden, picked herbs, and started chatting casually.

"I think psychotherapy is easily misunderstood," a doctor with a bandaged head began. "I've heard people say it's either about talking to people non-stop or about sealing away memories."

"You can understand it in such a simple and crude way, but we generally divide it into passive treatment and active treatment."

Sakura remained calm and was not surprised by the various questions from the Sand Ninja.

"Which one is considered active treatment and which one is considered passive treatment?" asked another female doctor.

"It depends on how you interpret it. We generally consider [traumatic memory sealing] as passive treatment."

"So talk therapy should be proactive, right?"

"It's not as simple as just a conversation. Whether it's positive or negative, we need to understand the patient's condition before we can formulate a plan," Sakura explained seriously.

"Some patients don't need to seal their memories; their problems stem from cognitive distortions, and in these cases, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) should be used."

Sakura has also learned a lot of professional knowledge from Naruto in the past few years. Here is an interesting detail.

In fact, it is difficult for Ming to remember so much professional knowledge at once. After all, he has been in society for several years and has not used much psychology knowledge. So how to solve this problem?
Then at this time Naruto himself discovered that the many painful memories that Naruto had during his travels came from his college final exams and college homework ddl!

All these exams, big and small, when put together, actually formed a psychological shadow that could not be ignored, and then were sealed by Naruto himself.

All I can say is that Ming who travels through time and space does have a life, and perhaps his pain is also the pain that most of his college classmates will experience.

Afterwards, Naruto himself extracted these painful memories and let the traveling Naruto experience the pain of frantically memorizing before the final exam. Then, he "recalled" a lot of knowledge.

Well, I'm fine, just a little bit rough.

The doctors of Sunagakure talked about some common sense in psychology. In the end, most people felt that this psychological treatment was actually quite reliable, and that ninjas really needed it.

So next, while they were pounding the medicine, they asked about the price of the set meal.

"Well...you can ask Naruto about these tomorrow. I've been away from the medical team for quite some time."

"I see... But Naruto-kun is truly remarkable... He pioneered psychotherapy, and has a partner as beautiful as you..."

"Eh? What are you talking about? Naruto and I are innocent..."

Sakura panicked and almost smashed the medicine jar in her hand, her face turning red.

The doctors around looked at each other in confusion, but when they saw Sakura's reaction, a happy atmosphere began to fill the air again.

"Is this true? I always thought you and Naruto-kun were a couple!" The female doctor on the side widened her eyes, and the two young men next to her nodded repeatedly.

This means that they have been eating Sakura's melon for a long time...

"But even if we're not lovers now, it's only a matter of time. Naruto-kun and you are both so outstanding, and he doesn't seem to hate you..."

The male doctor with bandages wrapped around his head gave an ambiguous smile to the male doctors beside him, which made Sakura more anxious and uneasy.

"Hey Sakura, has Naruto ever been alone with you?" the female doctor asked curiously.

As soon as these words came out, Sakura immediately recalled that evening when the two of them expressed their feelings to each other at Naruto's house, and her cheeks instantly turned red.

She felt a little dizzy. For some reason, she seemed to become sensitive as soon as Naruto was mentioned. Her rationality decreased by 10 and her shyness increased by 20.

"Alright, alright, stop talking. If you continue, it will make things difficult for me. Hehe, hehe..."

"Crack!"

Sakura found that there was a crack in the medicine jar she was using to pound the medicine, so she quickly cleared out an empty plate and placed the medicine residue in it.

"Fortunately, fortunately, I almost spilled the medicine..." She murmured softly, then whispered to everyone, "Well, let's just focus on pounding the medicine."

"Yes, it's not too late to gossip after you finish your work!" The female doctor saw Sakura's embarrassment and quickly stopped the men.

Everyone began to concentrate on their work.

But the good times didn't last long. Before long, everyone heard a knock on the door.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

"Please come in."

Naruto walked in and looked at Sakura, "Um, is now a good time? I want to tell you something."

"No! It's inconvenient!" Sakura suddenly raised her voice, and the tool in her hand began to shake again.

"..." Naruto blinked and saw that everyone was also staring at him in a daze with different expressions. He wondered if they had just said something bad about him, so that's why they reacted like this.

But for Kankuro's sake, Naruto nodded and said, "Then when you're done, come find me at the end of the corridor."

After that, he turned around and left.

slip away.

By the evening, the doctors had completed the basic work and, with Sakura's final touches, successfully made the antidote. However, the quantity was limited. After Kankuro used it up, she still had two doses left.

But it’s not a big problem. For Mingying at this stage, there won’t be any big problems with combat power.

Sakura said goodbye to everyone and walked over to where Naruto was, and the two looked at each other.

This time it was Naruto who was more reserved. Ever since the [Late Night Talk], the relationship between the two seemed to have become even more subtle.

I don’t know what Sakura thinks of me. Well, forget it. Let’s talk about serious matters tonight, not those things between men and women.

"I fought against the Akatsuki duo during the day today..." Naruto briefly told Sakura what happened during the day. The latter did not speak immediately after listening.

"Here's what I think. Let's switch opponents. You and Kakashi will deal with Deidara, and Chiyo and I will deal with Sasori."

The rivalries in the original work are Naruto vs. Deidara, and Chio vs. Sasori.

"Are you going to deal with Chiyo? Yeah, that's fine. Does Deidara need to be taken out right here?"

Naruto held his chin. From the current point of view, Deidara did not seem to be a key factor.

Judging from his strength, unless he releases the ultimate self-destruction, Naruto can directly send him away with Flying Thunder God's lightning, so he is not a big threat in reality.
