Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 208 Shikamaru: This man piqued my interest

the other side.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Naruto flew home and quickly ran into the bathroom, took out a towel and forcefully stuffed it into Hidan's mouth.

So the scene just now happened.

"Fortunately, we made it in time..." Naruto found another black cloth, blindfolded Hidan's eyes, and laid him flat on the table with his back facing away.

"Wuwuwu!" Feidan continued to shout. Naruto took off his mask expressionlessly and wiped the sweat off his face.

Even if he was kidnapped and taken home, he didn't want Feidan to see his true face.

The reason why he covered his mouth was because Naruto remembered that Pain would contact them remotely soon.

He was not sure whether Hidan in this state could receive Pain's signal. If he could, it would be bad if he told him all the information about Naruto.

But the battle at this stage is finally over.

After all, Naruto took advantage of the information gap to kill Hidan - now he is no different from being dead.

But there is also bad news, for example, Kakuzu survived. He must now find a place to seal the Three-Tails, but he may leave the Fire Country directly afterwards.

If this is the case, then one more member of the Akatsuki organization will survive, and Kakuzu will also break the law of "death if stripped off".

In addition, Ino-Shika-Cho may mature a little later due to lack of growth opportunities, but it doesn't matter. For the fatalistic ninja world, whether they grow or not is not particularly important.

It was enough for him and Sasuke to grow up on time.

The next moment, before Naruto could continue to think, he felt a figure stopping outside the window.

"Come in."

"Yes."

The man in white outside the window jumped into the house. During special periods, he would let his shadow clone stay near Naruto's house at any time.

Naruto glanced at him and said, "That's perfect. Ask the main character to find a sturdy iron box that can hold a human head, and one that comes with a key."

The shadow clone in white looked at the screaming blackhead and instantly felt a creepy feeling.

"Lord Naruto, this is..." The eyes behind the white mask widened. He thought he had never seen such a thing before, but this scene was a little too weird.

Especially since there was a lot of blood on Naruto's mask and clothes.

Naruto didn't answer directly: "Oh, by the way, please wash my clothes and mask, dry them and send them to my house."

"Ah...ok."

Naruto took off his black robe and handed it to the white-clothed man along with his mask. He thought for a moment and quickly changed into his own sportswear. "Please wash this set of ANBU for me as well. Leave it at my house after you're done."

"Yes."

After folding the clothes and handing them to Bai Yi, Naruto couldn't help but relax, and suddenly had a sense of 'I am a noble young master, and Bai Yi is the butler'.

No, this term is too Western. In ancient my country, the men in white should be called personal eunuchs.

It's so funny. How could he have had the chance to let the high-ranking Anbu officials clean his dirty clothes in the past?
Blackhead Hidan: "Wuwuwu?!"

At this time, Bai Yi noticed Feidan again. Naruto said "Oh" and explained: "This is a member of the Akatsuki organization, named Feidan, who is the immortal body I mentioned before."

Bai Yi looked at the lines on his head in surprise: "I see... This is a terrifying evil spell."

"So, such a dangerous evil technique should be in the hands of me... Konoha. After you get the box, you will first send it to Ibiki to interrogate him for information. After the interrogation, you can study it within the Anbu to see if you can figure out the principle of immortality and whether it is possible to replicate it."

"Ok."

Naruto held his chin and continued:

"During the experiment, we must avoid him from eavesdropping on us. See if you can pierce his eardrums or blind his eyes, or simply use illusion to blind his five senses..."

"Tell Haiyi all of this. Also, be careful when exploring memories, don't let them be contaminated by the evil spirit."

"And the Fifth Hokage, please inform her in advance about this matter."

"...Yes." The man in white lowered his eyes slightly and memorized these key points one by one.

Hidan: "Wuwuwuwu!!"

Even at this moment, he finally fully understood the situation.

The one who fought against him was none other than Uzumaki Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, who had recently become famous within the Akatsuki organization.

After the failure of the One-Tail recovery operation, Akatsuki held a small meeting specifically for Naruto, and asked Deidara to share his abilities in detail.

I wonder if Kakuzu noticed the truth...

Ten minutes later, the white-clothed figure and Tsunade knocked on the door at the same time, and Naruto opened the door and invited them in.

"Is this a member of Akatsuki?" Tsunade first noticed the bloody head on the table, walked forward to observe it, crossed her arms over her chest, and fell into deep thought.

"He can even survive with his head cut off..." Tsunade frowned slightly and suddenly said to Naruto: "Is there a chance to smash his head with my super strength?"

As a medical ninja, she instinctively felt disgusted when she saw the undead head and wanted to destroy it completely.

Hidan: "Wuwu?!"

Naruto was stunned, "I haven't tried it... After you confirm that he is worthless, let Sakura try it. There's no need to let him dirty your hands."

But in the original work, a bunch of explosive tags didn’t blow his head off, it feels quite risky... Naruto murmured in his heart.

"Okay, I'll leave him to you first," Tsunade looked at Bai Yi and said, "Don't make a big fuss about this matter and don't attract the attention of other ninja villages."

"Yes."

A few people decided Feidan's ending in a few words.

Perhaps in the near future, Hidan will suffer a more severe punishment than in the original novel. Then, he will understand whether immortality is a blessing or a curse.

……

the other side.

Yamato and his group watched Kakuzu disappear into smoke, their chests relaxed, and Ino began to treat them.

Fortunately, among the group, only Shikamaru was seriously injured, but it was only some superficial injuries, without any serious hidden dangers, and he was not poisoned.

"Om——" Ino placed her palm on Shikamaru's arm and slowly released the Palm Fairy Technique while asking:
"But who was that person just now...was he from Konoha's Anbu?"

Choji and Yamato both looked over. Yamato thought for a moment and said, "I do have some ideas, but I need to go back to the village to confirm them."

Choji was puzzled: "Is that really a ninja from our village?"

"I'm afraid so, otherwise he wouldn't take the initiative to pass on information to us." Yamato said slowly, with Naruto's appearance appearing in his mind.

Could that masked man be him?
Yamato knew many Anbu members, but he didn't remember any wind-style ninjas with a fighting style similar to Naruto.

He is not an Anbu, but wearing Anbu clothing and with that wind jutsu, Yamato immediately thinks of Naruto.

At this time, Shikamaru also said: "Let's go back first. Others may hear us discussing this here."

At the same time, Shikamaru was muttering in his heart.

My father had told me many times before that I should have more contact with the future ruler of Konoha, but I thought it was troublesome and never took the next step. I was more polite than honest with Naruto.

But after these interactions, Shikamaru became curious about Naruto.

There is no other reason, it’s mainly because Naruto’s behavior is too unconventional.

First, he inserted himself into the battle with lightning speed, and then immediately shared enemy intelligence, a specific and detailed version.

Then he took advantage of the information gap to harvest heads and establish victory, with a set of smooth small combos.

Shikamaru had never played computer games, but Naruto gave Shikamaru the feeling that he was open to it.

But no matter what, Naruto's image suddenly became tall and mysterious in Shikamaru's eyes.

"Maybe he'll be a good shogi opponent..." Shikamaru thought to himself, signaled to Ino that he was almost done, and immediately stood up, ready to go home.

Then go check on him right away.

……

It was dusk.

Naruto's house.

An oversized map of the Fire Country was spread out on the table in the living room. Naruto stood beside it, holding a black marker in his hand, writing and drawing on it from time to time.

"...He certainly wouldn't stay in these places. There's no shelter, no foothold, and the climate is too dry."

Naruto muttered to himself, drew a circle somewhere and crossed it out. Looking closely, he saw similar marks appearing all over the map.

He was deducing Kakuzu's possible whereabouts. According to the original work, Hidan and Kakuzu's second battle took place in a dead forest, so Naruto marked out these places first, and then began to use the elimination process to circle and cross out the places with low probability.

"Looking at the timeline, after Asuma's death, everyone received the news → held a funeral → Shikamaru had a fight with his father → stayed awake all night. This took at least two days in total."

"That means the area within two days' walking distance of the Dead Forest is where Kakuzu might be."

Naruto scribbled on it again, frowning. Although he had narrowed the scope, the Land of Fire was still too big for him to search it all by himself.

It is not wise to send multiple teams. Ordinary people are no match for Kakuzu, and they will just be throwing their hearts away if they go.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

There was a knock on the door.

"Sakura's here?" Naruto walked over and found Shikamaru standing outside the door, scratching his head, holding two bags of ramen. "Yo... I heard from Lady Tsunade that you've been busy at home?"

Smelling the aroma of ramen, Naruto felt a little strange but nodded and said, "Yes. Are you here to treat me to ramen?"

"Oh, yes, I haven't eaten either. Let's eat together."

"……it is good."

He asked Shikamaru to come in and clean up the table. Shikamaru glanced at the map and whispered, "Is that so..."

"What did you say?"

"Ah, nothing."

Shikamaru didn't know how to start the conversation, after all, he wasn't sure whether Naruto minded revealing his true identity.

Fifteen minutes later.

"Suck it-"

Naruto slurped the last big mouthful of noodles, gulped down the soup, burped, and touched his belly dejectedly.

Not full.

He was in the growth phase, so eating five or six bowls was no problem. So he said to Shikamaru, "Do you mind if I prepare some more food?"

After saying that, he rummaged through the drawer of the coffee table, where some instant noodles were stored.

"I'm so tired today. I feel like one bowl isn't enough..."

"Hey, Naruto."

Shikamaru suddenly spoke, and Naruto looked up, seeing his hesitant look.
