Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 188 Naruto: Sakura, stop it! (4K)

"what happened?"

Naruto caught the abnormality in an instant and frowned slightly.

He did not mention the Danzo faction in his report. Could it be that they have been unusually active in Konoha during this period?

Naruto asked tentatively, "What's the problem?"

"…Nothing, just a little thing with the Anbu."

"Is that so?" Naruto didn't respond. Since she didn't want to say more, he decided to let the bullets fly for a while and protect Sai first.

The three of them left the office and just closed the door when they found Bai Yi waiting in the corridor.

"Naruto-sama, I need to report something to you. Shiro, you come with me."

Bai: "Yes."

Naruto: "Got it."

He then summoned his shadow clone and asked him and Sakura to take Sai to complete the procedures and move into the Konoha Soul Garden.

After explaining the matters, Bai Yi brought Naruto and Bai to the archive room and found an empty corner.

Bai Yi got straight to the point: "Before we begin, please allow me to ask about the outcome of this operation."

"Yeah." Naruto briefly recounted what happened. Unlike when he reported to Tsunade, this time he detailed the process of Sai's betrayal.

"Is that so... A while ago, the people from Danzo's faction started to become more active, and I was wondering if they were sending Sai on some secret mission."

"So did they use their authority to gather resources for themselves?" Naruto asked.

He speculated that the Danzo faction might choose a time to do something big, but he was not sure whether it would be defection, a coup, or some other operation.

So before that, they need to raise enough funds as action capital.

Bai Yi thought for a moment and said, "They have targeted the Uchiha clan's funds. Wasn't Uchiha Sasuke's reputation very bad some time ago?"

"My guess is they want to eat the money."

"Heh," Naruto sneered repeatedly, "I'm just worried that they won't be able to finish their meal and will stuff themselves to death."

Now everything is in order. Most of the unpleasant things during this period came from the Danzo faction.

Then the next question is more critical.

"Yusuke, do you know who is behind the Danzo faction?"

Bai Yi was stunned, as if he had not expected Naruto to ask this: "Excuse me, what does this mean?"

"Well... forget it if you don't know. Don't bother investigating. I'll handle this myself."

Even Bai Yi doesn't know about it. This doesn't mean that Danzo's faction is doing it in secret, but that the level is too high and ordinary ninjas can't access it at all.

Combined with Tsunade's reaction just now, Naruto realized that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

"I just don't know if it's Utane Koharu or Mito Kado En behind them or both... No, it doesn't matter at all." Naruto said in his heart.

Some high-ranking Konoha officials got itchy and tortured them severely.

However, Naruto will not use force directly. He will observe the situation for a while and think about the best time to torture.

This time, let’s use Sai as a wedge for the test.

Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Bai Yi looked at Bai and said, "Come with me and hand over the task."

This means that this temporary team-up is over and now you have to return to Anbu.

Bai's expression was visibly depressed. After going through this journey with Naruto, it was rare for him not to be wary. Although the mission was difficult, which of his previous missions was not difficult?

This is the most relaxing time I have ever had.

And the next moment, Naruto's words shocked him: "Yusuke, Bai needs to continue to be on duty for a while."

Shiro's eyes widened slightly, and his mood turned from gloomy to sunny.

"Do you still need to go on duty?" Bai Yi asked in confusion.

"Next, Bai will follow Uchiha Sasuke." Naruto gave the order directly.

This sudden statement puzzled Bai Yi, but he did not express any objection. He just bowed slightly to show that he obeyed.

Letting Bai follow Sasuke is for the good of both of them. Sasuke will need to snatch people from Orochimaru next, and Bai can continue to accumulate merits. He doesn't have to stay in the dark anymore, and walking around outside is good for his physical and mental health.

And it would be best to kill Uncle Snake in the process of snatching people, as he is a destabilizing factor.

……

the other side.

The clone Naruto asked Sasuke to continue staying at home to rest, and he took Sakura and Sai to the entrance of Konoha's Heart Garden.

As soon as the three appeared, the clone Naruto immediately felt several unfriendly gazes coming towards him, which meant that there were also people from the Danzo faction in the Mind Garden.

"It's penetrated quite deeply..." Naruto muttered in his heart and walked straight in with Sai.

The area design of Konoha Spiritual Garden is similar to reality. There is a reception desk at the entrance, a service desk in front, and a waiting area on the side that is divided into different booths by circular sofas.

The few of them first came to the service desk, where Naruto registered Sai's information and asked him to go to the psychological assessment room for a preliminary assessment.

While registering his information, Naruto asked the staff member to come closer and whispered, "Please set Sai to 'special attention'."

The staff member was a little surprised: "Is his case special, Chief?"

"Just do it first. You can report this to Haiyi." Naruto did not comment. The staff listened and did as they were told.

Then, several people came to the psychological assessment room, which is a standardized assessment computer room equipped with anti-peep screens and noise-canceling headphones to ensure patient privacy as much as possible.

Mingying waited outside for a moment, and then saw Haiyi, who had received the message, walking towards her in a hurry.

"Sakura?" His eyes lit up. This former member of the medical team actually took the time to come here. Could it be that Sai was really very special?
He then gave Naruto a slight bow, "Long time no see, Naruto-kun."

"I'm sorry to bother you with the 'special care' issue. My preliminary diagnosis shows he suffers from a severe emotional disorder. He's practically indistinguishable from a machine."

"Oh?" Haiyi frowned slightly. "Emotional disorders are common in Konoha and other villages. Why does he alone need special attention?"

Emotional disorders can be regarded as an occupational disease for ninjas. The Ninja Code requires them to lose their emotions, but this objectively deprives them of their sensibility and brings inconvenience to their lives.

Naruto put his hands behind his back, "Do you want an official explanation or a private one?"

This question stumped Haiyi, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Naruto-kun, do I have a choice? Of course, the official explanation."

As the director of a psychological clinic, he cannot engage in privileged behavior in both public and private matters.

Naruto smiled and nodded: "Sai is a very typical example of emotional disorder. This case is very worth learning from. In addition, he can also serve as a positive role model for us to promote the idea of ​​'humanism'."

For those who believe in "instrumentalism", emotional barriers are their weapon to control ninjas, and what Konoha Mind Garden is doing is to cause trouble for them.

Even if they need treatment, they have to wait until they retire... Although there is rarely such a thing as retirement for ninjas, they will die before that time.

Haiyi was a little embarrassed after hearing this: "But, this is not enough to make him a 'key care' patient, right?"

"I understand. You told your students that I will be responsible for Sai's treatment this time." "Really?" Haiyi's eyes lit up again.

Letting Naruto himself be responsible for Sai is a typical emotional disorder, so this is not privilege, but "writing a textbook".

Later medical ninjas can use Naruto's treatment of Sai as an example.

At this time, Sakura quietly pulled Naruto's sleeve. Seeing this, the latter said to Hai: "Please check on Sai's condition first."

"Ah, okay." Hai Yi left tactfully.

After a moment, Sakura lowered her voice and said, "Wouldn't it be a waste of time if you took charge personally? Sai's condition wasn't that serious to begin with."

"I know, so this time I'm going to use the fragments to solve it all at once."

Sakura was shocked: "But you said you would treat the patient yourself. Wouldn't that mean others would see the treatment process?"

"That's right. I've figured out a way to keep the fragment's existence secret while still allowing students to observe my treatment process."

After saying that, he leaned close to Sakura's ear. The latter frowned and said, "...I don't think it's very safe?"

"So we need to work harder in other areas, such as limiting the number of students in the first group to observe, ensuring background checks are done well, and ensuring the entire treatment process is conducted in a closed and safe environment."

Sakura was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Is Sai really worth it for you to do this?"

Naruto didn't answer. He couldn't give a definite answer to this question.

He himself has feelings for "Naruto", and this feeling will radiate to every relatively decent character in it.

In the original work, Sai was influenced by Naruto and turned to the good side. Later, he did study hard and improve his emotional intelligence (although the effect was not great and it took a long time before it got a little better).

Even though he made some mistakes in the early stage, his crimes were not punishable by death. It would be too dark to allow him to be liquidated by Danzo's faction.

Giving up is also not in line with Naruto's consistent "humanism" advocacy. People can be treated differently, but double standards cannot be used on such critical issues.

As if she could see what Naruto was thinking, Sakura said softly: "It's okay, just do it, as long as you don't regret it."

"it is good."

After a pause, Sakura said, "...I will always be with you." Then she took Naruto's hand.

Naruto's heart trembled, but he quickly composed himself and put Sakura's hand into his pocket along with his own.

The two stood like that for a moment, Sakura's head naturally resting on Naruto's shoulder.

Naruto sniffed the subtle fragrance on Sakura's hair and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed: "Fuck... stop it, you're doing this to me..."

"how?"

"If you continue like this, I will bully you..."

"...!"

Sakura glanced at him with amusement, and suddenly blew a breath into Naruto's ear. Naruto felt the heat, was frightened, and bent over in pain.

Naruto's short and powerful voice came from the corridor:

"grass!"

I didn't expect Xiaoying to learn bad things! She actually dared to press the wheel of the car on his face in front of him!
A dirty trick, right?
Naruto was just thinking about how to 'retaliate' when he heard a light exclamation from the other end of the corridor:
"Naruto-kun?"

Naruto looked up suddenly and saw Haiyi walking towards him, while Sakura next to him was covering her mouth and laughing.

He stood up immediately, as if nothing had happened just now: "What's wrong?"

"Sai's file has been created." Haiyi raised the materials in his hand. At this time, another person also came over.

Nara Shikaku.

"Uncle Shikaku?" Naruto was surprised. The latter smiled at Naruto and said, "Haiyi asked me to come. Recently, the Mind Court is considering establishing a 'Children's Psychology Zone', and he has some questions he wants to consult me."

Haiyi said quickly, "It's mainly the construction costs of the sandbox game table and the parent observation room. I have a few accounts that I can't figure out, so I asked Lu Jiu to help."

"It's okay, there's no harm in having an advisor." Naruto nodded, then suddenly thought of something.

According to the original plot, what follows is Asuma's death and Shikamaru's revenge, right?
What a coincidence?

Shikaku didn't notice the change in Naruto's expression and said to him, "My dog ​​is currently investigating in the Mind Garden. I hope he hasn't caused you any trouble."

"No, no, I happen to have a patient here. Why not let Shikamaru come over and observe him?"

Now that he was here, Naruto decided to take the opportunity to get closer to Shikamaru.

As a military strategist with an extremely high IQ, Shikamaru is undoubtedly the number one person worth fighting for.

"In that case, I'll ask Naruto-kun to take care of me." Shikaku bowed politely, then handed a document to Haiyi and said goodbye to everyone.

Naruto: "Ahem, without further ado, let me check on Sai's condition first."

He took the file from Hai Yi's hand, opened it and took a quick look.

Then, Naruto's expression grew slightly more serious.

【Clinical symptoms:】

1. Damage to the emotional expression system (mechanical fake smiles; inability to understand basic emotions such as anger and sadness; defining human relationships as a necessary component of the task)

2. Deficits in theory of mind (inability to infer others' mental states; complete inability to respond to metaphors/sarcasm; formulaic social behavior)

3. Moral judgment remains at a pre-conventional level (only organizational orders are used as the standard for good and evil; there is no physiological aversion to violence)

【…】

【Conclusion: Reactive attachment disorder + RAD special phenotype】

Sakura glanced at the side for a few times and whispered, "It looks like autism."

"Really?" Naruto raised his eyebrows. So Sai also has a tendency towards autism?
I don’t know how Naruto in the original work did it, but he was influenced so easily.

Hai Yi added, "His emotional disorder is more serious than that of the average person. I even feel like he's completely numb."

"Well, you should quickly decide on the first batch of students. Oh, and by the way..."

Naruto suddenly leaned close to Haiyi's ear and whispered a few words.

Hai Yi's expression suddenly became strange. After falling into deep thought for a moment, he shook his head slightly.

"...Okay, thank you for following up on this matter. Feel free to contact me. Oh, and do you need my contact information?"

"No need," Hai Yi smiled and said, "You must have forgotten that I am from the Shanzhong Clan."

Naruto suddenly realized: "Ah, yes."

One of the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques, the Ninjutsu: Communication Technique, allows one to communicate directly with the other party without using any equipment.

Having said that, Mingying said goodbye to Haiyi and immediately returned home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned home, Naruto noticed that the curtains around him were drawn tightly, and Sasuke's scarlet magatama eyes were exposed in the darkness.

Naruto instinctively felt something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"
