Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 209: Kakuzu's Embarrassment (4K)

"What's wrong?" Naruto stopped what he was doing and looked at Shikamaru.

Shikamaru opened his mouth, wanting to speak but stopping himself, a question popped up in his mind:
Will he think I'm weird?

After thinking it over, Shikamaru finally said, "Nothing, I met someone from Akatsuki while on a mission today..."

Shikamaru briefly recounted what had happened, secretly observing Naruto's reaction.

Unexpectedly, Naruto was listening with a very focused expression, and it seemed that he was not one of the parties involved.

This is what old actors are like.

"...So I was thinking, this person is wearing Anbu attire, and he also masters wind jutsu and shadow clones, you say..." Shikamaru hesitated and looked at Naruto.

Naruto: "I say...?" At the same time, he had an idea in his mind.

It turns out he was here to test my identity.

"Look, that person can use wind escape techniques, and then suddenly disappears at the end of the battle. It's like he used advanced space-time ninjutsu, and..."

Shikamaru reviewed all the details involving him in the battle to Naruto, and was almost asking him directly if he was the person involved.

Naruto smiled and said, "Shikamaru, you don't think that after I practiced wind jutsu for a few days, I can suddenly go out and fight the Akatsuki people, right?"

Shikamaru choked for a moment, but quickly explained: "But your foundation is very good, right? I remember that you were able to condense the wind chakra in your hands before you started training..."

Rolling his eyes, Shikamaru said, "...Of course, I know you have your own considerations, and it's okay if you don't admit it."

"I just want to say thank you to you. If it weren't for you, I might really die at the hands of that guy."

The atmosphere fell into silence. After a long moment, Naruto sighed softly, "You can handle it well with or without support."

"Why are you unwilling to believe in your own high IQ?"

Shikamaru was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly: "So it really was you! It was you who took action today, right?!"

"I didn't, I didn't. Don't talk nonsense." Naruto denied it three times in a row, and then said quietly: "The masked man probably wants to keep some cards to himself, so he doesn't want to reveal his identity."

Shikamaru was startled. This statement was already very explicit, as if directly acknowledging the identity of the masked man.

But why would he deny it in front of himself?

At this moment, Naruto suddenly raised his voice: "A so-called ninja is one who knows how to conceal his own means. Even if it's just a shuriken hidden in your hand, it may be possible to reverse the situation at a critical moment!"

After saying that, he glanced sideways at the window.

There was immediately a noise there, and Naruto sneered and looked at Shikamaru.

Shikamaru was so focused on asking that he didn't notice this detail.

"Who?" Shikamaru stood up, only to see Naruto waving at him.

"It's okay, just a fast-running Xiang... just a Konoha reporter."

At the same time, Naruto complained in his heart: Konohamaru's sense of smell is too sensitive. He just did something big and he immediately came over as if he smelled the fragrance.

Now he's even eavesdropping... Ugh, it feels like he's starting to go off the track...

Naruto decided to find time to talk to Konohamaru later.

At this moment, Naruto and Shikamaru happened to look into each other's eyes, and they both smiled slightly, and tacitly turned the page.

Naruto didn't want to have more food, so he asked Shikamaru, "By the way, can you come and give me some advice?"

"how?"

"I have a map here..."

Naruto packaged his problem a little bit and asked Shikamaru for advice in the name of survival exercise. The latter thought for a moment and immediately helped Naruto analyze it.

"If we start from here, then based on our thinking inertia, the possibility of going in these directions is very small..."

"The best places to camp are near the river, so these locations are the focus of exploration..."

"Ku Lin? That's a bold guess, but you also have to consider these aspects..."

"..."

After one hour.

There were only a few small circles left on the map, and Naruto felt a little impressed. It was terrifying that Shikamaru could rule out most of the possible destinations of the Kakuzu through simple deduction.

"He feels a bit like a military advisor. This is the talent I need." Naruto gave Shikamaru a thumbs up and changed the subject:
"But there's one little thing that's bothering me."

"what's up?"

"I need a teammate to help me sense. After all, although the search range has been greatly reduced, it is still not efficient enough, and the enemy may not remain still."

"It's not a big problem. I can ask Ino to help you."

At this time, Naruto shook his head: "I have a better candidate, and there will be more benefits in the future if I cooperate with him."

Shikamaru was confused, "Who?"

"There's a guy named Shan Zhongfeng. Although I've asked Uncle Hai for help, he's not very interested in joining my camp. He says he wants to stay away from the center of the storm."

Naruto laughed and said, "You see, there are still many people who regard me as a jinx."

Shikamaru shook his head: "No, it's because you're at the peak of your popularity right now and have made too many enemies in a short period of time, including the previous incident..."

He hesitated to speak, Naruto chuckled and didn't mind Shikamaru mentioning the settlement.

We are all clear-headed people, there is no need to hide anything.

Shikamaru thought for a moment and then said, "Naruto, is this something you're anxious to do now?"

"I'm not sure about that, because I'm not sure if I'll miss the best time for the 'exercise'."

In the original novel, Akatsuki sealed the Three-Tail and the Two-Tail in succession, which took several days, but after changing the plot line, they may not seal them in succession like this.

"I'll help you convince him tomorrow at the latest. If that doesn't work, let Ino help so we don't delay important matters. How about that?"

Naruto smiled, "Then let's do as you say."

Shikamaru wants to repay Naruto, and Naruto needs a military advisor like Shikamaru, which is the best of both worlds.

……

the other side.

A dark and secluded place.

Kakuzu sat cross-legged on a huge rock with his eyes closed. His mind appeared on the giant fingers of the Outer Path Statue with the Akatsuki organization's illusion body technique, and he formed seals with his hands.

Everyone in the meeting maintained a similar posture to Kakuzu, remaining silent.

A long, long time passed.

The last wisp of chakra entered the mouth of the Outer Path Demon Statue, and the Sealing Technique: Nine Seals of the Phantom Dragon was completed. Everyone in the Akatsuki organization slowly opened their eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work." Pein, who was standing in the center, spoke first, looking around. Before he could continue, he heard Deidara beside him couldn't help but complain:
"This sealing time is a bit too long. And Kakuzu, what's going on over there? Don't you know that without more people, our sealing speed will be slower?!"

"That's enough, be quiet!"

Pein stopped Deidara, then looked at Kakuzu and said in a deep voice, "Kakuzu, how's the situation over there? Are you still being hunted?"

Kakuzu snorted coldly, and instead of directly explaining his own situation, he criticized Hidan:

"That guy was too arrogant. He didn't recognize his own position or the enemy. His defeat was natural."

"From what you said, it should be easy to escape from Konoha's sight, right?" Pain's tone was still indifferent.

"Of course, I'm not like that guy Hidan." Kakuzu said in an unusually firm tone.

At this time, Kisame on the other side spoke: "However, if we seal the two-tail right away, it will take many days. If we are attacked by someone at this time..."

Kisame looked at Pain, who slowly said, "It will take six days to seal the Two-Tails."

"I see..." Kisame's fish eyes stared at Kakuzu and slowly widened: "If you underestimate Konoha, I'm afraid you will suffer a great loss, Mr. Kakuzu."

"Haha, are you all so afraid of Konoha?" Kakuzu's tone became more and more contemptuous.

I really can’t stand these Konoha-lovers.

"Who's talking to you about Konoha?" Deidara on the other side also started to taunt Kakuzu: "We're talking about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki...the young man with yellow hair and blue eyes appeared in everyone's mind in an instant.

Members of the organization that have fought Naruto so far: Itachi, Kisame, Deidara, Kakuzu, and those who have died...

Coupled with Naruto's exaggerated record: taking back the One-Tail from the duo, it has to be said that his presence is astonishingly strong.

And now a so-called wind-style ninja suddenly appears. Even Pain would suspect that Naruto is using a smurf to bomb the fish pond.

"Kakuzu..." Konan in the corner suddenly spoke: "Did you detect any trace of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki on that enemy?"

Kakuzu was silent, lost in thought. The next moment, he said, "He suddenly vanished when he was beheading Hidan. There was no trace on the ground... I suspect it was the Flying Thunder God technique."

"Flying Thunder God Technique..." Xiaonan murmured softly. This was not the first time she heard this term.

"The Fourth Hokage's famous skill allows him to teleport instantly regardless of distance or space as long as the marking is successful. The ninja weapon that goes with it is the Flying Thunder God Kunai." Uchiha Itachi introduced to everyone.

"This method is really exaggerated. I have no way to deal with him, huh!" Deidara reacted violently. He felt that he was being played by Naruto throughout the battle with Gaara.

"But he has never demonstrated the ability of wind jutsu. Kakuzu, think again if you have ever encountered a similar ninja before." Pain asked.

Kakuzu is a 93-year-old old man and is more familiar with the early Konoha than Itachi. If he were not Uzumaki Naruto, he might be an old monster like him.

Kakuzu shook his head slowly. "Speaking of Konoha's leading figure in wind jutsu, in recent years, apart from Shimura Danzo, there's hardly anyone who can match him, but he's dead now."

Everyone fell silent again.

It's hard to imagine that the Akatsuki organization, which is so high-profile and has Kage-level leaders per person, would go to so much trouble to discuss a teenager.

However, after becoming a sage and controlling the four tails, Naruto also reached the strength of Kage, so it is not too exaggerated.

At this time, Pain spoke: "Kakuzu, go and confirm whether this person is Uzumaki Naruto, and share the information with us after obtaining it."

This means that you should take your time in sealing the two-tailed beast and figure out the situation first.

Kakuzu frowned slightly. Pain's order felt like he was covering up for him. He immediately felt very unhappy, and a sense of resentment was faintly rising in his chest.

He didn't have anything to vent his anger on, so his tone became a little aggressive:

"Why? Are you suspecting that this Wind Style Ninja will attack me mid-flight and disrupt the seal?"

"Mr. Kakuzu, there's no need to be so excited?" Kisame's trembling voice gave Kakuzu a feeling of gloating, and he immediately glared at Kisame.

Fortunately, Kisame has never been online, otherwise he would say: Yo, man, I'm anxious, anxious, anxious. (Finger Clown jpg)

Pain said simply, "Kakuzu, do as you are told."

Kakuzu was silent for a long time. If he confronted Pain, he would seem unreliable, but if he didn't, he would feel very unhappy.

Finally, he snorted coldly and said to Payne, "Hurry up and find me a new teammate."

After saying that, he went offline directly.

"What an impolite fellow... He left before the leader even left." Deidara sneered, but Pein ignored him and said to everyone:
"Everyone, let's stop here."

For the Akatsuki organization, it is necessary to understand both the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the information about Konoha's ninjas.

Especially when you can kill one member alone when two people are attacking you.

Therefore, regardless of whether that Wind Style Ninja is Naruto or not, they need to know the details.

In addition, Pain vaguely felt that if he continued to seal the Two-Tails, the mysterious masked man would definitely come and cause trouble... Well, I'm not talking about the one-eyed masked man.

……

The next day, Konoha.

Shikamaru had breakfast at home. Under his mother's urging, he drank a large glass of milk. He looked at Shikaku who was reading a newspaper and said to him:

"Dad…I had contact with Naruto yesterday."

"Well, that's rare. You actually take my words to heart." Lu Jiu didn't think and read the newspaper attentively.

Shikamaru's next words piqued his interest: "Naruto asked me to do something, but it's related to the Yamanaka clan. I was wondering..."

"Ok?"

Shikaku put down the newspaper, his expression gradually becoming serious: "Does Haiyi know about this?"

"Well... you should know, right?" Shikamaru asked uncertainly.

"What do you mean by 'should'?" Lu Jiu's eyes showed reproach as he began to teach his son:
"Listen carefully, although the three families of Pig, Deer and Butterfly are closely connected, there are some things that outsiders cannot trespass on."

"Take Naruto's request for example. It's definitely not a simple matter, right? What if it offends the Yamanaka clan?"

Shikamaru was a little impatient. He felt like his father was playing Tai Chi. "That's why I'm asking you. Who made you so busy last night? I couldn't find anyone!"

"Didn't I have something to do last night? It was with Lord Hokage... Well, I won't tell you, it's confidential." Shikaku explained that he went to be Tsunade's advisor last night, mainly to discuss the matter of Hidan.

After that, he glanced at his son again, "So what exactly does Naruto want you to do?"

Unexpectedly, Shikamaru crossed his arms and said, "...Tsk, it's so troublesome to talk to you."

Lu Jiu smiled crookedly. This kid had rebelled against him. He immediately said with a smile: "Okay, okay, tell me, I'll see if I can help you. After all, this matter involves my son's future."

Shikamaru was silent for a moment, then told him everything.

After hearing this, Lu Jiu fell silent and frowned slightly.
