Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 162 "I was tricked"

"Deidara...what do you think? Or why don't you just kill him?"

"Okay, I'll try." Sakura said briefly, looking away.

She seemed to be avoiding Naruto's gaze.

All that was left were some details, and after the two of them discussed them thoroughly and felt they had nothing more to say, the atmosphere began to become awkward.

Yes, they are no longer the kind of relationship where they can chat after discussing serious matters.

If Sakura had encountered other girls gossiping about her and Naruto before, she could have used the excuse of "just best friends" to get away with it.

But now, she is increasingly unable to look directly into her own heart, yet she cannot help but imagine how the two of them will live if the relationship is completely broken.

Will I wake up in the same bed in the future, gently kiss his forehead, walk into the bathroom, brush my teeth, and then find him following me in, hugging me from behind, biting my ear...

Mom!
"Ahem, what are you thinking about?"

Sakura was startled out of her reverie to find Naruto looking at her with curiosity.

"Nothing..." Sakura smoothed her hair.

She secretly made a decision that after dealing with the matter with Grandma Chiyo, she would think carefully about her relationship with Naruto.

Otherwise, if she keeps thinking about it like this, it will really affect her mental state. And what if she becomes mentally confused and tells others her true thoughts?
It would be better to just redo it on the spot!
However, Naruto's condition at this time was much better than Sakura's. He was clear-minded. It was not that he no longer loved her, but he found that once he started to get stuck in a dead end, he would often end up in complete failure.

It’s better to leave everything to fate.

"Well, it's alright, I'm leaving now. I need to sort out my ninja tools."

Naruto turned around, took a deep breath and quickly left, leaving Sakura in deep thought.

……

the next day.

The medical ninjas of Sunagakure took turns taking care of Kankuro. After the latter regained consciousness, he quickly asked a doctor to fetch the remains of his puppet, which contained a fragment of Sasori's mask.

In the original work, this became an important means for Kakashi to track the two.

"Gaara... How's Gaara?" Kankuro was a little anxious, and the nurse beside him gently pushed him back onto the bed.

"Konoha's support has arrived, and they will cooperate with us in pursuing Gaara-sama."

"No, this time the opponent is not an ordinary person..." Kankuro wanted to support himself again. Ordinary support would not be able to defeat them.

"Then let me go after Gaara, is that okay with you?"

Kankuro's eyes fixed on the yellow-haired young man, who was looking at him with a smile, followed by Chiyo, Maki and other Sunagakure people.

For some reason, Kankuro suddenly felt a strong sense of security.

It’s not that Naruto calls him gay, but this man has created too many miracles over the years. In the eyes of a small group of people within Sunagakure, he has become synonymous with miracles.

Naruto slowly approached Kankuro, sat beside him, and briefly told him about the confrontation between himself and Sasori. He then emphasized that Granny Chiyo would also participate in this operation.

"You, you really almost saved Gaara?" Kankuro was surprised. This result was far beyond his expectations. Even Maki on the side had his pupils shrink suddenly and reacted a little violently.

As a puppeteer like Sasori, Kankuro could naturally feel the former's strength. He suddenly felt like he was "listening to a divine book" when he heard what Naruto said.

"Actually, Scorpion isn't as strong as you think," Naruto explained with a smile.
"Scorpion's strength comes from his in-depth understanding of the puppets he developed. If you lose to him using his puppet, it's like he defeated his past self. Do you understand what I mean?"

Kankuro was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Naruto's lips curled up slightly. "What's so great about defeating your past self? If you had just forged your own path instead of just creating something new based on his, the situation would have been completely different."

Kankuro nodded continuously. Chiyo walked over and said in amazement, "As expected of the Chief Advisor, your words of comfort are so pleasant to the ear."

After hearing this, Maki narrowed his eyes and wondered how Chiyo's attitude towards psychotherapy had changed so drastically in just one day?
Is this the value of being Konoha's chief advisor who is both eloquent and capable of fighting?
Thinking of this, he immediately walked to Chiyo's side and looked at her. Naruto turned around and said lightly: "Don't worry, I didn't use any illusions on Grandma Chiyo."

Maki was startled and coughed awkwardly a few times. "Hmm... you psychotherapists are pretty weird. You can even see through other people's thoughts?"

"Your thoughts are written all over your face," Naruto smiled and shook his head, "Micro-expressions are a language after all."

"Okay, Maki, don't worry about me. Next, just wait for us to bring Gaara back." Chiyo said calmly.

Next, she and Naruto came to the border of Sunagakure, where the members were: Team 7 + Chiyo, a total of four people.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Naruto summoned several shadow clones, and his real body smiled at Chiyo: "Granny Chiyo, have you ever experienced the 'Flying Thunder God Express Service'?"

"What do you mean?"

"It means I will use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to teleport you to the marked location."

Chiyo's eyes fixed, and she instantly thought of a famous name that was once spread throughout the ninja world - Yellow Flash.

"Namikaze Minato, that's his famous move, but you seem to be a little younger than him now..."

"As everyone knows, the Fourth Hokage is called Little Naruto...Haha, just a joke." Naruto slowly approached Chiyo, and the remaining shadow clones were placed on the shoulders of Sakura and Kakashi.

"Mother-in-law, I'm telling you these jokes to make you feel less nervous,"

"Please believe in my ability."

Chiyo watched as Naruto's expression turned serious and nodded, "I believe you, Naruto."

Naruto looked at Sakura and Kakashi again and said to them:
"I marked the blond Akatsuki member during the previous battle. If his right arm hadn't been cut off, we would have started fighting immediately in a few seconds."

According to the agreed plan, a shadow clone of Naruto would take the lead and teleport to the mark on Deidara's right arm, and the rest of the people would be teleported to the battlefield where Naruto and the duo had fought and would be on standby.

If he encounters the duo, Naruto will immediately release the Shadow Clone. The next moment, after receiving the memory, Naruto will take a few people and teleport directly to their faces to start a duel with the duo.

If the right arm was cut off or made into a trap, then the few of them would set out directly from the previous battlefield and use Kakashi's ninja dog to track it.

"Boss, as we discussed this morning, Chiyo and I will fight against Scorpion, and you and Sakura will fight against the yellow-haired man... Is that okay? Let's go then?"

Kakashi and the others had no objection: "Let's go."

Naruto nodded.

"Whoosh!"

……

the other side.

"Whoosh!"

The first shadow clone appeared, and Naruto quickly wrapped himself in the Nine-Tails Chakra and looked around.

The floating gravel filled the wind with dust, creating a buzzing sound; the ground around was slightly cracked, with several kunai inserted into it, and special runes were engraved on the hilts.

The clone Naruto frowned slightly, he walked forward slowly a step or two, and found the pale broken limbs lying casually on the sand, followed by a "whoosh" sound.

Naruto's pupils suddenly shrank. He saw Kakashi and others standing nearby, and he immediately understood something in his heart. He secretly cried out inwardly, "Not good!"

"Lightning Guide!!"

The clone Naruto roared at the original Naruto, kicked the severed limb and sent it flying towards the original Naruto. At the same time, the pale severed limb expanded several times in an instant and exploded immediately!

Sakura instantly understood what Naruto meant and pulled Chiyo and Kakashi to lie down together!
When the explosion was about to sweep over several people, the real Naruto completed the seals with his hands, put his hands together and clasped his fists. Mysterious runes instantly appeared in the air and extended to the surroundings, instantly absorbing the waves generated by the explosion!

"Buzz-"

The explosion centered on the severed limb was slowly swallowed up by the continuously appearing runes. The entire space seemed to be cut off out of thin air, giving people a sense of disharmony and separation, but this disharmony was fleeting.

This process only lasted two or three seconds!

As the explosion disappeared, Naruto took out the Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand, and with a "whoosh", the crisis disappeared.

The clone Naruto and the original Naruto looked at each other and saw a few words in each other's eyes: We have been fooled.

"We've been tricked." Chiyo said in a deep voice, obviously realizing that they had fallen into Deidara's trap.

Kakashi and Sakura stood up, brushed the sand off their bodies, and looked at each other. They didn't look too surprised, but they understood the situation tacitly.

The average level of this team has long surpassed that of the senior ninjas, and they have rich practical experience, so they are naturally not surprised by praise or criticism.

Naruto: "I just don't know how they transported that severed limb here... maybe it was a clay clone."

Sakura: "Maybe."

The story is very simple: after cutting off his right arm, Deidara somehow sent his right arm back to the place where he had just fought with Naruto, and set a trap.

As long as Naruto uses Flying Thunder God to teleport over, the trap switch will be triggered immediately, causing his right arm to explode.

The cleverness of this trap lies in the fact that the two calculated that Naruto and his group might act separately, so they simply sent the severed limbs to the battlefield together to maximize the casualties.

However, Naruto himself has many means, and he can instantly transfer the damage when dealing with such sudden explosions.

It can be said that if Naruto were to deal with Deidara this time, the former's high mobility and ability to transfer damage might make it difficult for Deidara to fight.

"Was that move just now also a type of Flying Thunder God technique?" Chiyo had a sharp eye and saw through Naruto's methods at once.

"That's right, so if we encounter any violent attack later, please..." As he spoke, Naruto narrowed his eyes.

He suddenly felt an itch on his arm and looked to the side.
An eye suddenly opened beside him! Upon closer inspection, the eye had thick dark circles under it, and it was clearly Gaara's eye.

"Illusion..." Naruto's eyes focused, and the illusion instantly began to collapse, but soon, he vaguely felt a strong wind coming from in front of him!
Naruto instantly understood the Akatsuki duo's intentions.

This is not a simple induced explosion trap, but a chain trap.
