Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 80: Married Woman Sakura (4000 words)
After opening the door, Jiraiya looked at Naruto with a complicated expression. The boy's yellow hair and blue eyes made him think of another apprentice.

Naruto rubbed his eyes, making his voice sound lazy, and asked, "Uncle? Who are you looking for?"

Jiraiya coughed, dispelling his heavy expression. He smiled, adding a touch of mastery to his demeanor.

"listen--"

He took two steps back, his clogs clattering on the ground. "The Toad Immortal is a name that is hidden from the world. If you want to hide something, I am..."

"No matter east, south, west or north, the whole world is invincible, the white-haired boy and toad messenger of the Three Ninjas, the Sage Jiraiya-sama!"

Pfft~ Are old things so cute?
Naruto didn't smile nostalgically, but instead imitated the original Naruto's reaction, making his expression look increasingly confused, "Sennin?"

"That's right!"

Jiraiya was about to say something else when Naruto interrupted him, "But uncle, you don't look like a fairy at all, and I know you. Did you knock on the wrong door?"

This kid is quite alert... Jiraiya didn't feel embarrassed, but adjusted his hair and said, "I am the apprentice of the Sandaime."

"The disciple of the third-generation grandfather? So that's it, he's my senior brother!"

Jiraiya was choked by these words. If he had read the original novel, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.

You were originally my apprentice, but ended up becoming my junior apprentice?!

Naruto opened the door enthusiastically, made a 'come in' gesture, and invited Jiraiya into the house. At this moment, his stomach made a 'gurgling' sound.

"This is so awkward..." Naruto thought awkwardly. He had consumed a lot of energy last night and his body had started to sound the alarm.

Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and waved his hand: "How about this, kid, I'll treat you to Ichiraku Ramen, and we can talk while we eat."

After hearing this, Naruto felt a faint warmth in his heart. There were not many people in this world who were willing to care about him unconditionally. Iruka was one of them, and Jiraiya was another.

Perhaps influenced by the original owner's body, he suddenly had an urge to tell him everything, but he still held back. After all, he was not Uzumaki Naruto, and there was much more to consider than just Danzo.

The two of them came to Ichiraku, and Naruto generously ordered three large bowls of chashu ramen and buried his head in work.

He slurped a handful of noodles, took a big sip of soup, picked up the tender barbecued pork and stuffed it into his mouth. The fragrance filled his mouth, making Naruto even more unable to stop.

At the same time, he muttered in his heart: "The small treasury has been running low recently. If I have to eat too much, will Jiraiya sneak away? I don't have the money to pay the bill!"

"Ya'er, I almost forgot about Sakura and the others."

Naruto finished his third bowl of noodles, licked all the soup inside, looked towards the kitchen reluctantly, turned around and asked, "Um, can I bring some breakfast for my friend as well?"

Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Of course, but you haven't eaten yet, right? It's okay, I'll treat you to this meal."

Naruto swallowed and nodded immediately: "The last bowl."

Five minutes passed.

"The last bowl."

Another five minutes passed.

"Burp, the last 100 million bowls."

"Hey hey hey..." Jiraiya quickly stopped talking, his expression a little strange. Looking at the gradually piled up 'hill', he felt a little painful. He waved his hands and said, "Let's talk about business."

"okay."

Naruto wiped his mouth and faced Jiraiya, his hands resting obediently on his legs, his bright eyes staring into Jiraiya's face.

Jiraiya was stunned. If he hadn't heard what the man in black said last night, he would have thought that this was a well-behaved and sensible kid next door.

It's quite confusing.

"Ahem, I met a few men in black last night..." He slowly recounted what he saw and heard last night in a calm tone, trying not to show any inclination and making himself appear objective and neutral.

After hearing this, Naruto nodded and said in a slightly excited tone: "Brother, you don't know that there are bad people in the village! In order to seize power, they have colluded with outsiders. I'm afraid that the third generation grandfather will be in danger!"

"Yeah. But are you sure that the man named Shiba Kiyozumi is a good person? From what I know, Konoha's Anbu is also tracking his whereabouts. This person's problem may be bigger than you think."

Jiraiya's worries are reasonable. Naruto is alone and not necessarily good at socializing. It is completely understandable that he would stumble and meet a few bad guys.

"I understand your concerns, brother," Naruto nodded. "However, my interests are the same as Qingquan teacher's. If we want to escape the control of the bad guys, we can only unite together."

As he spoke, he looked at Jiraiya seriously and asked for his opinion, causing the latter to sigh and rub his brows.

In Jiraiya's opinion, the current situation is much more complicated than imagined. The forces of various parties are intricately intertwined, and there is someone secretly manipulating the situation behind the scenes, resulting in extremely ambiguous reactions from all parties.

Especially on Danzo's side, the Root did not fight back against these rumors, but instead lay dormant, making it unclear what their true intentions were.

Even he himself would have to go back and report to the Konoha senior management soon. This was a special situation that had never happened before.

Jiraiya thought for a moment and said to Naruto, "I understand. I need to inform the Third Hokage about this matter. If you encounter the Anbu, do not conflict with them. Something happened last night, and the people under the Third Hokage were fooled. Now they are angry."

"I understand. After all, I'm the one who's teasing them..." Naruto nodded. After he met Jiraiya and came up with an excuse on the spot, he knew that it would be difficult for him to sever his relationship with Qingquan. At most, he could get rid of Sakura.

But what happened was that he had already established a good relationship with Hiruzen, which meant that as long as he didn't make any mistakes in principle, Hiruzen would most likely protect him and share the same hatred with him.

"By the way, do you need any help during this period?"

"Really, Senior Brother, I'm really short of money recently."

"But then again..."

Jiraiya interrupted, only to see Naruto tightly grasp his hand, "Brother, this meal is yours, right?"

He looked at Jiraiya with sparkling eyes, and the strength in his hands grew stronger and stronger.

"Okay, okay... that's enough. I feel your embarrassment!"

"Thank you! Senior brother! Uncle, please pack me two more bowls of ramen!"

"okay!"

Naruto said goodbye to Jiraiya with a smile. The latter's eyebrows twitched and he secretly swore in his heart that he would never treat this kid to dinner again.

But, it's really full of energy...

Jiraiya's eyes were complicated, with a mixture of relief, pain, and worry in his heart.

"Minato, he didn't catch up with a good era..."

Jiraiya left the noodle shop and headed towards the Hokage Building.

……

back home.

Naruto was carrying noodles and smelled the aroma of milk as soon as he walked in. He quickly changed his shoes and shouted to Sakura in the direction of the kitchen, "I bought ramen!"

Sakura took out an apron from somewhere, tied it on, tied her ponytail, and was putting a few eggs into the steamer.

"came back?"

She turned her head, and curls of steam drifted across her snow-white neckline. The strands of hair on her temples were dyed a honey-colored color by the golden threads leaking through the window frame. Her emerald green pupils were filled with a soft mist, and Naruto was instantly mesmerized. He was shocked: "Holy shit! Isn't this the look of Sakura, the married woman I imagined yesterday... No, she's also missing a dangerous hairstyle."

Naruto quickly returned to normal and raised the ramen in his hand. Sakura frowned and said, "I don't want to eat something so greasy so early in the morning."

"By the way, did you go see Jiraiya?"

"Yes." Naruto put the ramen on the dining table, resisted the urge to look at the married woman Sakura, and ran to the room to wake up Qingquan who was sleeping on the floor.

"Oi, time to eat! Hiss..." He kicked Qingquan's butt. It was a little painful because his foot was blocked.

Qingquan opened his eyes in a daze, cursed inwardly, rubbed his butt, then stood up, stretched, and his waist crackled.

"Hey... little brother, thank you for staying with me last night..." He sniffed and said, "Is there anyone cooking outside?"

"Ramen, go eat quickly, there's something important to do after you finish eating."

"Got it."

He walked out of the room, looked at the fragrant ramen, swallowed his saliva, opened the disposable chopsticks and started slurping, looking at Sakura on the other side and said, "Big sister, come and eat noodles!"

"Both bowls are yours."

The two of them quickly solved the problem of food and clothing. Afterwards, Sakura briefly understood the situation and said that she wanted to go back home to report her safety to her parents. Naruto readily agreed.

"Hey, why are you leaving? You are still wanted." Naruto called Qingquan unhappily. The latter scratched his head and sat back on the sofa.

After Sakura left, Naruto solemnly said to Qingquan: "Next, I need you to remember all the details I told you and take the relevant evidence to the Hokage Building to surrender yourself. The Sandaime will naturally clear your name."

When Qingquan heard about turning himself in, he felt unhappy and started to mutter, "I haven't done anything wrong..."

"Snapped!"

Naruto slammed the table, shocking Qingquan, and then said sternly: "Why are you still chattering? Am I not clearing your name now? Hurry up..."

He slapped the paper with the text on the table and motioned Qingquan to look over. He would explain to Qingquan the pros and cons of this matter.

ten minutes later.

"My goodness, what the hell is going on here? Aren't they all bad guys wearing masks?!"

"Damn it! This is the Anbu directly under the Hokage, and this is the Root. They have different loyalties."

"So which Hokage am I accusing?"

"Root, Root," Naruto said with a bit of a will-o'-the-wisp: "The Anbu directly under the Hokage are the Third Hokage's people, the Root is our enemy."

"Then why are they wearing the same clothes and not afraid of getting shot at by their own men when they go to the battlefield?"

You have to ask Kishimoto this question...

Naruto took a deep breath and explained patiently: "The two departments have similar responsibilities, so they wear the same clothes. And they don't go to the battlefield, but do special work, so their clothing must focus on concealment." He gave his understanding.

Qingquan thought about it and slapped his forehead: "Yes, I have learned this before!"

Naruto: "...Next, let's learn about Orochimaru. You should know that he is one of the legendary Sannin and the apprentice of the Third Hokage, right?"

“…I think I know.”

"Anyway, now you know. Remember, Danzo's conspiracy is inseparable from Orochimaru, and Orochimaru's experiments also need Danzo's support. You don't need to remember anything else."

"I see, these two guys are wearing the same pants!"

"Oh, right~" Naruto nodded, and at the same time began to regret that he should have kept Sakura for a while longer.

He couldn't help but recall a scene he had seen on Douyin in his previous life: a couple tried their best to teach their son addition and subtraction, but the child just couldn't understand, so the parents became frustrated.

I used to think it was an act, but now it seems he was naive...

A few hours passed like this. Naruto talked himself to the point of being thirsty, and quickly drank a large glass of water. Shiba Kiyozumi had an expression that seemed to indicate he 'understood everything', and said that he could go to the Hokage Building right now to report Danzo.

Naruto looked at Qingquan's clear and somewhat stubborn eyes and decided to wait until the afternoon to let him go over the relationships between the characters again.

After sorting out all this, he still wanted Qingquan to prepare a draft in his mind. Well, he might as well just write a draft and let Qingquan memorize it.

He gave Qingquan a few more words of warning, walked out the door, summoned his shadow clones to squat near the gate, and then walked towards the border of Konoha.

……

A cliff somewhere.

Sasuke stood on the huge rock, overlooking the scene of Konoha, thinking about something in his mind.

"Whoosh!"

A breeze blew, and Naruto appeared behind him, slowly walking towards Sasuke. When they were side by side, they both looked forward at the same time.

A moment of silence.

"Is everything going well?" Sasuke was the first to break the silence and inquire about the situation.

"Something unexpected happened, and I'm still involved in this matter, but it's not a big problem. I will soon muddy the waters completely."

"You don't look upset?"

Sasuke turned his head and did not see any regret in Naruto's eyes. Instead, he looked like he had accomplished something great.

Naruto turned around and smiled at Sasuke: "Accidents are the norm. There are too many people and things involved in this matter. If there is no mistake, it will be a problem. Fortunately, this mistake is acceptable."

After saying that, he looked towards the direction of Konoha again, feeling the breeze while telling Sasuke the information about the curse seal and Chidori.

Naruto came to report, Sasuke completed the task successfully, and exposed himself in front of the Sand Ninja, which brought certain risks.

This is what he deserves.

Sasuke listened to Naruto quietly. When Naruto said that the curse seal had two stages and would further enhance its strength, he sneered and expressed his disdain for this external and unstable power.

But when he heard several specific applications of Chidori, his eyes lit up slightly and revealed a hint of surprise.

"That's exactly what I need," he nodded at Naruto, very pleased with his response.

“I hope we’ll have the opportunity to work together again in the future.”

"What are you talking about? We are all teammates..." Naruto was talking when his eyes suddenly turned.

He looked at Sasuke with a serious gaze, and a bold idea came to his mind.

Sasuke is an existence that cannot be ignored, so in the short period of time in the future, can he be deeply involved in this matter?

Many people who travel through time to fan fiction look forward to acting with the original characters. It is naturally exciting to use Maruko to fight against Sasuke and Chidori, but isn’t it exciting to work together with Sasuke’s brothers to crush the conspiracy?

However, this may also expose the fact that he is a time traveler.

This is a double-edged sword.
