Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 201 ANBU Naruto, come in!
Suddenly, Naruto thought of something.

He said to Yamato, "This is what I did today. This is my personal commission. You can choose to accept it or not. As for the reward..."

At this point, he smiled slightly: "I will try to apply to the Fifth Hokage to let you leave the Anbu and become a guiding jonin, how about it?"

Kakashi and Yamato were both stunned, the former became interested and looked at Yamato with interest, while the latter seemed to be lost in thought.

"Becoming a guiding jonin... What an unexpected reward. Can I ask the reason?" There was doubt in Yamato's calm tone.

Naruto chuckled, "I've heard about your deeds, Senior. As a test subject, you were always treated as a tool. You probably rarely came into contact with ordinary ninjas in Konoha, right?"

"Anbu members don't seem to be short of money, and as a Wood Release ninja, ordinary ninjutsu probably won't be of much help to you... In short, I don't think material conditions can impress you, senior."

"But let me be clear, I can't guarantee that this will be accomplished. I can only say that I will try my best."

This was not a casual remark made by Naruto, but he suddenly thought of the Infinite Tsukuyomi plot in the original work.

The dream that Yamato has in Infinite Tsukuyomi is very interesting. It is not like Shino or Kankuro who have a peerless weapon, but it is similar to the dream of Sai and Gaara.

In the dream, he and the new Team 7 worked together to rescue Kakashi. After they succeeded, the latter told him that he had become the official squad leader of Team 7 and gained a sense of belonging and identity.

This reflects Yamato's deepest desire.

Kakashi fell into deep thought after hearing this. He recalled his past with Yamato, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was suitable for him. He patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Why don't we give it a try?"

"Senior, are you sure you are not teasing me..." Yamato smiled bitterly. He was a little confused, but since Senior Kakashi said so, he just agreed.

It's not a big help anyway.

"Okay, Naruto-kun, tell me the size of the training ground you need."

"Thank you," Naruto took out a piece of paper with a drawn venue and handed it to Yamato, explaining it with some gestures, but Yamato's face looked a little ugly.

Is it this big?
"...I'll try my best, as long as I don't die of exhaustion."

Yamato leaped onto the flat ground in front of him, his eyes serious as he quickly formed seals with his hands: "Earth Escape: Earth Flow Wall!"

"boom!!"

There was a loud explosion under his feet, and a huge earth wall rose up instantly, lifting him up dozens of meters. The raised area covered part of the sky.

"Huh...it's really strenuous..." Yamato murmured, but soon heard Naruto yelling at him from below: "Senior, it's not big enough or wide enough! It's too narrow!"

At the same time, Naruto smiled in his heart: Although I really want to say that it is small and cute, forget it, speeding up the training is more important~
Yamato sighed and released the earth flow wall again to double the width of the raised surface.

He yelled down at his feet, "Is it all right?"

"Okay, okay, now all we need is the waterfall and the wooden planks!"

Oh no... Yamato formed hand seals again, feeling his chakra rushing down like the water jutsu he was about to use.

"Water Release: Takitsubo Jutsu!"

A trickle of water suddenly appeared in the waterless pit, and then Yamato clapped his hands again.

"Wood Release: Giant Wooden Pillar Technique!"

"Bang--" A thick wooden stick stretched out from the wide waterfall and continued to extend horizontally to both sides. At the same time, Yamato couldn't help but feel his eyes go dark, his body softened, and he fell backwards.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, he was supported by a pair of big, strong hands on his back. He stood up and looked at Naruto who had flashed to the side and was looking at him with a smile. He said to him:
"How is it, does your companion feel good?"

"...You're really fast, worthy of being called Yellow Flash."

Yamato stood up, looked at the magnificent scenery below him, and said to Naruto: "How about this, should it satisfy your needs?"

"No problem." Naruto gave a thumbs up: "I will apply to the Fifth Hokage later."

"It's okay." Yamato replied politely. He still didn't quite understand Naruto's intention.

The two returned to Kakashi, who looked at the vast waterfall and said worriedly, "Naruto, why don't you let him train with you? If you consume too much chakra, the Nine-Tails might come out."

Unexpectedly, Naruto waved his hand after hearing this and said, "Don't worry, this won't happen."

Kakashi was suspicious: "Really?"

"I have reached a deal with the Nine-Tailed Fox. Now it won't take away my sanity at will, don't worry." Naruto smiled confidently, immediately dispelling most of Kakashi's doubts.

A long time ago, Naruto and the Nine-Tails reached a consensus: before eliminating all dangerous factors that could control the Nine-Tails, the man and the beast would be in a strategic partnership.

During the past few years of training, the Nine-Tailed Fox and Naruto have embarked on many adventures. When it became clear that a certain existence hidden behind the scenes could also threaten the Nine-Tailed Fox, it agreed to another request of Naruto:
Until Naruto becomes stronger, the Nine-Tailed Fox will not take over Naruto's body until the threat is completely eliminated.

This shows that the cooperative relationship between man and beast has deepened, which is why Naruto can now switch between the two forms of the Nine-Tails at will without losing his mind.

Kakashi thought for a moment and said to Naruto, "Naruto, I'll come see you in two hours."

"Got it, Boss, you guys can leave now."

Seeing Naruto urging them to leave, the two looked at each other, waved at Naruto, and disappeared on the spot.

Seeing this, Naruto ran to a tree, picked a leaf, and then put it in his hand, closing his eyes.

Then he saw the leaf in his palm being cut straight in half.

"Sure enough, my progress is much ahead of the original work... Hey, if Kakashi and the others see this, I'll have to explain it."

Besides the fact that it was inconvenient to explain, Naruto also hoped to be able to keep his Wind Style Jutsu as a trump card in the near future.

It's best not to let anyone know. If it gets out, Naruto will have to add the title of "Wind Style Master" to his "Yellow Flash" title. Better to keep a low profile.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Naruto summoned his shadow clones and began practicing cutting waterfalls.

……

Two days passed like this.

Afternoon, Hokage Building Office.

Tsunade was wearing glasses and processing documents at her desk. The affairs of the Danzo faction had increased her workload these days, and working overtime had become the norm.

Suddenly, a figure slowly walked out from the shadow in the corner.

Tsunade said without even looking up, "Speak."

Bai Yi glanced at Tsunade, and first said respectfully, "Thank you for your hard work," and then told her the information he had obtained.

"My subordinates have sent me news that the Fire Temple has been attacked by people suspected to be from the Akatsuki organization, and Master Jilu is fighting a bloody battle with the enemy."

As he spoke, Bai Yi handed Tsunade a piece of paper with information written on it in crooked, bloody handwriting.

"What?" Tsunade looked up suddenly, her pupils shrank, and her expression became serious in an instant.

At this time, Bai Yi said in a deep voice: "This is the information received an hour ago. I'm afraid Master Di Lu has already..."

Unlike real-time mental communication like Yamanaka Inoichi's, the communications of ordinary intelligence personnel have a certain lag.

Tsunade pondered for a moment and said to Bai Yi: "You should immediately organize a team to go to the Fire Temple to check."

At this time, Tsunade noticed that Bai Yi seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"what happened?"

“…Actually, there’s one thing that’s very strange.”

"what happened?"

"I distributed contact charms to my men before they left Konoha. In case of an emergency, burn the charms immediately."

"I should have received the message an hour ago, but I received a regular contact message instead."

After saying that, he opened his palm, revealing a communication gecko carrying a small piece of equipment and spitting out its tongue.

Tsunade fell into deep thought. After a moment, she suddenly said to the back of her: "No need to hide behind me. Tell me what you think."

"Have you discovered me a long time ago..."

The window outside the office was opened, and Naruto jumped in by holding onto the window bars.

Before Bai Yi met Tsunade, he informed Naruto in advance.

"There's too little information available right now. The contact note only has one sentence, so I can't tell where they are." Naruto glanced at the contact gecko and continued, "Let me go investigate."

Tsunade frowned. It was too dangerous to let Naruto come into contact with Akatsuki members rashly.

As if noticing Tsunade's worried look, Naruto immediately added: "This intelligence team has my Flying Thunder God Kunai. I can teleport instantly and fly back immediately in case of an emergency."

Tsunade rested her elbows on the table, supporting her chin. "But the communication charms are ineffective. Are you sure your Flying Thunder God technique hasn't been destroyed?"

"How will we know if we don't try? If it doesn't work, we can send another team to search for him."

After receiving the news, Naruto immediately decided to meet Kakuzu Hidan alone. If the conditions were right, he could find them before Asuma did and try to change the plot line.

Tsunade was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "Naruto, I usually satisfy many of your requests, but this time, I want to impose a restriction on you."

"Half an hour. If you don't come back within half an hour, I will send people out of the village immediately."

Naruto paused, "No problem."

Half an hour is more than enough. As long as the Flying Thunder God technique is not destroyed, the pursuit time plus the battle time will not be too long, unless he is in a tough fight.

It’s not a big problem. If you can’t beat them, just run away.

"That's it, go and come back quickly!"

"Yes."

Naruto left the office and waited at the door. After a while, Bai Yi came out and saw Naruto and came closer and whispered to him, "Prepare me a set of ANBU clothes and a mask."

Bai Yi didn't react immediately: "What are you doing...?"

"My workout clothes are too conspicuous. I need to change into a more discreet outfit. The Anbu ones are perfect."

"...Okay, wait a moment."

Bai Yi invited Naruto to the reception room nearby to wait for a while, and he left quickly. After a while, he came back with a set of Anbu clothes.

A slim-fitting black top, trousers, ninja boots, a silver-white overalls and wrist guards, plus bandages wrapped around the legs to hide the ninja tools.

The most important thing is the hooded black robe and animal mask worn on the outside, which can cover Naruto's figure and face.

"With this outfit and the animal mask, I will be ANBU Naruto for the next half hour..." Naruto thought to himself as he changed into the ANBU attire.
