Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 175 The Deer Bumps into Sakura

"Is that so? Then could you please take a look at these people..."

Bai Yi started from the first page and introduced their respective abilities to Naruto, including some who had bloodline limits.

However, when talking about their respective family backgrounds, Bai Yi's words became quite interesting.

"This brother is receiving trauma therapy, and I helped him apply for funding, provided that..."

"She bought a house in the heart of Konoha and received housing subsidies from the Foundation for the first two years. She currently has thirty years left on the loan..."

"Both his parents are dead, and his inheritance was appropriated by his uncle and aunt. I raised him single-handedly until he was ten years old, and then..."

"His bloodline limit is very special. Excessive use depletes his vitality. To survive, he must repay it with missions. He accepts the Foundation's help, but he also needs to use his bloodline limit for dangerous missions..."

"..."

These people under Bai Yi's command may not all be outstanding talents, but at least one of them has an important matter that Bai Yi has a hold on their lifeblood, and they can be said to be truly tied to the same rope like grasshoppers.

They Are All Our Own People

The more Naruto listened, the more frightened he became.

The Anbu's environment hadn't improved with Danzo's disappearance. Rather, without the Seal of the Tongue, Bai Yi had no choice but to resort to coercion and inducement to win over completely loyal troops in the short term.

Now think about it carefully, the reason why Bai was restrained by Zabuza was not because Bai Yi wanted to make Bai his own person?

This is simple and efficient, but does simple mean correct?
and many more……

Naruto interrupted Bai Yi's chanting and looked through the list again.

He quickly found Bai's name and made up his mind immediately.

"This is it, and this one will also come with me." Naruto pointed at Bai and then at Sai's name.

If Bai can kill Orochimaru after joining the team, it will naturally be a great achievement for him.

The man in white fixed his eyes and said to Naruto in a deep voice, "But sir, this Sai is not one of us... But it's not impossible. I've done background checks and found that he has suffered psychological trauma. If we find an opportunity to magnify this trauma..."

Naruto sighed silently. Bai Yi could remember people so clearly and be so bold and ruthless. His professional ability as an Anbu was beyond reproach.

But it is really cruel.

But he couldn't blame Bai Yi either. Perhaps he could live a peaceful life in Konoha's political arena because of people like Bai Yi who carried the heavy burden forward. It was inappropriate to criticize him arbitrarily.

After thinking about it, Naruto interrupted Bai Yi: "You don't have to worry about Sai for now. He won't harm my interests."

"...Yes," Bai Yi obeyed, noticing the change in Naruto's expression.

He explained, "I know these methods conflict with your humanistic views. I will do this in a covert manner to ensure that you will not be attacked by your political opponents."

Naruto smiled bitterly: "I believe you can do it, but you are not used to these methods."

Bai Yi was silent for a moment: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said it so bluntly, making you...ah, okay."

He saw Naruto waving his hands repeatedly and keeping silent.

After a while.

"You go ahead and get ready."

"Yes."

Bai Yi bowed and stepped back, disappearing from Naruto's sight.

Naruto pondered for a moment, and thus, the new members of Team 7 were assembled.

Ming + Ying + Shiro + Zuo, the average age of this team is very young, but the team strength is not low.

In terms of interpersonal relationships, I'm afraid I just need to get along with Sai for a while, right?
Just as he was thinking about it, Naruto came to Konoha Hospital again, found Kakashi's ward, and met Tsunade and Sakura.

"Naruto," Tsunade nodded and waved at him, "I heard you've already formed the new Team 7?"

"Yes."

Naruto took two steps at a time and came to Kakashi's bedside. He looked at Kakashi, whose face was covered by the quilt. "How is it? Are you feeling okay now?"

In the battle to rescue Gaara, he persisted all the way until he sent Gaara back to Sunagakure, and then he collapsed to the ground. It was better than the original.

Kakashi looked at Naruto: "Your body is fine... But I heard that you chose people from the Anbu this time. Are they reliable?"

"Fortunately, after all, the captain this time is not someone else..." Naruto turned to Sakura: "It's you."

Sakura's eyes widened slightly, caught off guard by Naruto's words: "Me? But..."

There was confusion in her eyes, and Naruto saw it and explained, "The ideal personnel still active in the village are all in the Anbu, so I have no choice but to let you lead this operation."

Tsunade thought for a moment and said to Sakura, "You were an Anbu captain for a while before, so you won't have much trouble commanding this mission."

Sakura chewed over Naruto's words and quickly understood the meaning. What he meant was that Yamato was not in the village now and the plot had changed.

The few of them talked a little more about the new members. When mentioning Bai, Kakashi fell into memories and asked about Bai's current attitude. As Naruto spoke, his body slowly moved closer to Sakura.

The latter noticed Naruto and couldn't help but glance in his direction, but he was a little confused as to why.

Tsunade: "I've learned about Sai before. He was separated from Danzo's roots. His abilities are up to par, but his character is unclear."

Kakashi: "Naruto, are you sure this person is okay?"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing..." As Naruto was speaking, he suddenly took Sakura's hand quietly!

It should be noted that Sakura is currently standing right in front of Kakashi's bed, and Tsunade is next to Kakashi. In other words, her hands are blocked by the end of the bed.

Sakura's heart was beating fast and her breathing was rapid. She was caught off guard by Naruto's sudden attack!
Aren't we talking about business? Why are you suddenly holding my hand?... Sakura looked at Naruto, who was calm and composed. She felt as if there was tinnitus in her ears. She automatically blocked out the words of the people around her and could not hear anything.

She couldn't help but let her imagination run wild. She had indeed been avoiding Naruto recently, not giving him the chance to be alone with her, but she shouldn't be so blatant, right? Especially in front of her own master...

Could it be that I haven't flirted with this pervert for too long, so he's hungry and wants to try a new play?

Sakura tried to break free, but Naruto's grip tightened. She tried to yank her hand free again, but Naruto grabbed her wrist and stroked her forearm lightly with his thumb, making her feel a little itchy.

"...Sakura, what's wrong with you?"

Tsunade noticed a blush on Sakura's face, and the latter quickly said, "No, I'm fine." Then she glared at Naruto with an angry expression.

Tsunade seemed to understand something and did not ask any more questions. She just said to Kakashi, "Since there is nothing wrong, I will leave first. Please follow the doctor's advice and avoid strenuous activities recently."

"Yes, I'm sorry to have worried you."

Tsunade walked out of the ward and gave Mingying a meaningful look before leaving.

After she left, Kakashi looked at the two of them helplessly and said, "You two..."

Kakashi had noticed what the two were doing, but Lady Tsunade was there, so he couldn't just criticize and educate them, right?

Besides, the child is older now, so it's normal for him to do these little movements... But honestly, can we go outside the ward? It's not easy for the teacher to move since he's on the bed right now?

"Haha, sorry, boss." Naruto let go of Sakura's hand and motioned her to follow him. Sakura looked at Kakashi, nodded at him, and followed Naruto out of the ward.

Hospital corridor.

The two looked at each other in silence for a moment.

Sakura looked at Naruto and after a long silence, she muttered, "Pervert...why did you suddenly pull my hand just now?"

Naruto looked at Sakura and suddenly whispered, "I'm feeling your pulse."

Sakura was stunned. Naruto's mouth slowly curved into an arc as he slowly approached her. His lips were close to her ear, and hot breath came from them.

"Didn't you doubt your sincerity towards me before? So I just did an experiment."

Sakura stared at Naruto, "Just...hold my hand?"

Naruto nodded and gently held Sakura's wrist in his hand again.

"I was a little impulsive towards you before, so I gave you some time to buffer."

"Logically speaking, if you had no feelings for me, then it should have been easy for you to pass my hand-holding test just now."

"So now you want to know the result?"

Naruto looked at Sakura and said word by word, "Her heartbeat quickened and her pupils dilated."

This is the body's reaction when your heart beats.

She might be able to get by with a disguise, but she couldn't deceive her own heart. Her reaction just now was a clear sign of that.

The two were silent for a long time. Perhaps because the atmosphere was a little depressing, Naruto suddenly laughed and said, "You're not going to slap me, are you?"

"……All right."

"Hmm? What do you mean okay? Are you going to promise me?"

Sakura took a deep breath, not daring to look directly at Naruto: "I admit, I seem to have some feelings for you."

It seems that

Naruto wasn't annoyed and continued to ask, "What's your answer?"

The two of them slowly approached each other, and Sakura's heartbeat quickened. Two villains appeared in her mind. One villain said: Hurry! Promise him quickly, don't waste time!
Another little man said: Oh, yes, yes, yes!
Sakura: "I..."

"Naruto-nii-san!!"

Naruto's eyelids twitched, and he saw Konohamaru waving at him with a smile on his face.

Naruto turned sharply towards Sakura, who seemed stunned by the yelling before quickly saying, "I won't hide from you anymore!"

"Then what?!"

"..."

Naruto took a deep breath and felt his temples throbbing, as if the veins in his head were throbbing.

No, there were real veins jumping on the back of his hand. Sakura looked at Naruto's expression and burst out laughing.

"Let's go on a date tonight."

"Ok?"

Naruto blinked rapidly, looking at Sakura's expression of trying not to laugh. The latter said, "You look so pitiful like this... Well, let's go shopping tonight."

"Pitiful……"

Naruto looked at Konohamaru running towards him and asked with concern, "Brother Naruto, I heard that you went to rescue the Kazekage? Can you tell me about it?"

Konohamaru held a small notebook in his hand and a camera hung around his neck.

"Journalism magic moment, huh..."

Naruto patted Konohamaru's shoulder with a forced smile and said:
"I don't know if the Kazekage was rescued, but you might need to be rescued next."
