Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 177 Sai and Shiro
Haruno Zhao has complicated feelings towards this rising star.

Although there is nothing wrong with his character, his bad thing is that the status of his daughter is too unequal to his own.

The Haruno family is not a prominent family and does not have the confidence to confront the bigwigs of Konoha. It is also unknown whether Sakura will be bullied if she has a conflict with him in the future.

He was just about to say a few words to Sakura when he saw the door opened by Sakura with a click.

"Let me open the door."

Haruno Zhao was stunned by the sight of Sakura dressed up, and immediately swallowed back what he was about to say.

Forget it, let’s not say anything to spoil the fun now.

Haruno Zhao decided to find a time to bring it up with Sakura later.

……

The two walked side by side, heading towards the commercial street.

In recent years, Konoha's economic strength has become strong, and the corresponding service industry has begun to develop. Even if you just go shopping, you can see all kinds of prosperous scenes along the way.

The two chatted intermittently, but Naruto's attention was mostly focused on Sakura's new look. He would glance at her from time to time, taking in her snow-white neck and delicate profile.

"I should wear a kimono like you, otherwise it wouldn't look right walking together like this."

"I don't think you have any kimonos in your closet, do you?"

"Indeed not. I've never been one to care about dressing up. Most of the clothes in my wardrobe are just extra sportswear."

"Then do you want to buy a set?" Sakura pointed to the clothing store next to her, and seemed a little looking forward to Naruto's other look.

"Male version of Miracle Nikki, right? That's interesting."

The two walked into a clothing store and asked the salesgirl to recommend some kimonos suitable for Naruto.

"Lord Naruto, these sets should suit your temperament very well!" The little sister pointed at several sets of kimonos, staring at Naruto with her sparkling eyes, her tone excited, obviously she was another little fan of Naruto.

Naruto scratched his head a little embarrassedly and quickly looked at Sakura, but the latter quietly leaned close to his ear and said, "Did you feel it?"

Naruto was startled, then whispered, "I noticed that a while ago."

It seemed as if some eyes were watching and following the two of them.

This is not surprising. Naruto and Sakura are very famous in the ninja circle of Konoha. It is normal for them to be secretly followed by one or two people when they go out shopping.

Naruto remembered that he had a similar feeling when he was team-building with the Twelve Ninjas. After paying attention, he found that they were just a few Genin who admired him. After signing for them, he left with satisfaction.

"It's probably not an enemy. Let's hang out for a while and see if he goes away."

Sakura was not reassured, and her expression was a little strange: "Do you have so many sasaeng fans in Konoha?"

"No, no, these kind of fans usually don't keep pestering me. They just ask for an autograph or a photo and then leave."

As Naruto spoke, he suddenly thought that maybe someone from the newspaper was taking pictures of his gossip.

"Lord Naruto?" The younger sister became nervous when she saw that the two did not respond. She thought she had made them unhappy.

"Sorry, I just had something to do. Please let me try on these sets." Naruto ordered a few kimonos with styles and colors that he liked, and went to the fitting room.

After a while, under Sakura's advice, the two tried on several kimonos and finally bought two of them, one to be worn directly on Naruto and the other in a bag with his sportswear.

Walking out of the street, Mingying looked at each other and walked towards the other end of the street tacitly.

"Not bad, not bad. It feels a bit like a couple's kimono." Naruto said with a smile, but Sakura continued to whisper beside him: "The people who are following us haven't left yet."

"Yeah, indeed..." Naruto became increasingly certain that this was a paparazzi. Otherwise, why would they choose this time specifically? It seemed that the reporters were under a lot of pressure to perform well recently.

He couldn't help but imagine a shocking news headline:

The story that Uzumaki Naruto and three female ninjas must tell

Wait, did Konohamaru leak the information? But I didn't tell him about the date.

"Do you want to take a look at the situation?" Sakura asked again. In fact, she really didn't like someone secretly following her and Naruto when they were on a date, but she just didn't say it out loud.

Dating is inherently a private matter, and if the stalker is Naruto's fan girl, it will only make people feel even more uncomfortable.

As if sensing Sakura's mood, Naruto nodded immediately: "Okay, let's go to a place with few people and make that guy show his true form."

A man and a woman quickened their pace and came to an almost deserted street. Seeing that the stalker was relentless, Naruto was about to shout when he saw a figure flash in front of them.

Naruto looked a little surprised when he saw him, "Shiro?"

Bai, who had taken off his mask, revealed his delicate and feminine face, his long black hair fluttering in the wind, and his brown eyes staring directly at Naruto and Sakura.

Bai: "Sorry, I just received a notice from the Anbu. I came here to ask you two about the mission..."

As she was speaking, Xiaoying's pupils shrank and she said to the two of them in a deep voice: "Be careful!"

Naruto narrowed his eyes and heard the stalker not far away whisper to the person in front of him, "Ninja Technique: Super Beast Fake Painting."

Countless lions made of ink paintings came to life from the scroll drawn by the tracker and launched a surprise attack towards Bai!
"Roar--"

Visibility was extremely low at night, and these ink-and-wash lions seemed to blend into the darkness. The only sound one could hear was their aggressive roars as they got closer and closer to Bai.

Bai's eyes focused, and he quickly formed seals with one hand. The water droplets on the surrounding ground instantly rose into the air, and in just half a second they condensed into a large number of thousands of books, launching a 360-degree high-speed shooting at the ink lion!
"Puff! Puff! Puff!" These thousand swords pierced the ink lion, and then the ink changed back into lethal thousand swords under Bai's magic, launching a counterattack towards the person above!

During the brief fight of a few seconds, neither Naruto nor Sakura made a move. They discovered that Sai's target seemed to be the young man named Shiro.

He was the guy who had been following the two of them.

Sai looked at the attack of Senbon getting closer and closer to him without any panic. He just used the Super Beast Pseudo-painting to summon several hawk hunters, and used their high-speed flying to block the attack of Senbon in time. For a moment, ink splashed everywhere.

The next moment, Sai suddenly pulled out the dagger from behind.

"Ding!"

He used his maximum speed to block Bai's close-range attack, and the flying needles and dagger collided with each other, making a crisp metallic sound.

"You have two disadvantages right now. One, you're surrounded by ink; two, you're only holding one of my hands."

Bai did not ask the visitor's intention. Anyone who dared to attack in front of Mingying in Konoha must be an enemy, and there was no room for negotiation.

"Everyone stop!"

At this moment, the two heard Sakura's shout, looked at each other, and unexpectedly released their weapons at the same time.

"call out!"

Sakura walked up to the two of them and looked them up and down, especially lingering on Sai for a few seconds. This guy was primarily responsible for the failure of tonight's date.

"Now that we're all teammates in the same class, there shouldn't be any need for such a life-and-death struggle, right?"

After hearing this, Bai's eyelids twitched, and he asked Sakura beside him for confirmation: "Captain, is this the new member of Team 7?"

As he was speaking, he saw Naruto flash to Sakura's side.

Naruto looked at Sai with a strange expression. The status of Naruto and Sakura now is very different from that in the original work. Even so, will Sai still find an opportunity to test their strength?

His character seems to have not changed much compared to the original?
Thinking of this, Naruto asked the main body to come out and "scan" Sai, and found that he showed no signs of being contaminated.

"...you two introduce yourselves to each other."

After hearing Naruto's words, Bai was silent for a moment and uttered a word: "Bai."

"..." Naruto looked at Sai again. Sai was a little surprised by Bai's concise words. He was stunned for a moment, then showed his signature fake smile: "Sai."

Sakura said, "Sai, explain what just happened."

Now she is no longer a delicate and innocent girl, but a well-known captain-level figure in the Anbu. It is reasonable for her to speak to Sai in such a tone.

Sai looked at Mingying and Shiro, then at Bai, and said lightly, "I just wanted to confirm."

"Confirm?" His brows furrowed slightly. For some reason, he felt an inexplicable disgust towards the tone and appearance of the person in front of him.

"Yes, confirm..." Sai looked at Bai and uttered a few words slowly, his face bright and sunny: "Confirm whether you have grown ***."

There was a deathly silence all around.

Naruto:"……"

Sakura: "..."

white:"……?"

If Naruto hadn't read the original work, he would have thought that this guy named Sai was crazy.

But to be honest, compared to the explosive dialogue in the original work that directly targets Naruto himself, Sai's doubts in this special scene seem somewhat reasonable.

After all, Bai's appearance is indeed very misleading, but to make such a direct confirmation and use such harsh words, Sai is indeed a well-deserved emotional intelligence black hole.

Sai ignored the changes in their expressions and said to himself, "I'm really sorry for what happened just now. I want to know how strong my soon-to-be companion is, and I don't know to what extent I should protect someone as helpless as you..."

Before he could finish, he saw Bai Lei attacking like thunder, stabbing the silver needle fiercely into Sai's carotid artery!

Bai speaks and looks gentle, but that doesn't mean he will let rude outsiders take advantage of him.

Sai raised his eyelids and took out his dagger.

"boom!"

The two of them looked at each other in deep concentration. Naruto, who appeared in the middle at some point, raised his hands and grabbed their wrists with great strength!
"So much for the fighting and the verbal attacks."

Naruto said expressionlessly, faintly radiating the Nine-Tails' aura towards the two.

Sai's heart trembled, and he and Shiro simultaneously released their grip, sheathing the dagger. They had an intuitive understanding of Naruto's abilities.

He spoke foul-mouthed, but in his heart he had to admit that the average combat power of this team member was not weaker than his own.

Judging from the tracking situation just now, Mingying and the others seemed to have noticed him quickly, which shows that in addition to their combat ability, they are also excellent in anti-tracking.

The boy with a female appearance seemed to be able to form seals with one hand and mastered a secret technique that he did not understand.

They are not fuel-efficient lamps.
