Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 98: Sasuke's Treatment Plan: Phase 4000 ( words)
"Chichi! Chichi!"

The bright light flashing with lightning kept surrounding Sasuke, and thick black steam kept emerging around him. Correspondingly, the Heaven's Curse Seal on his neck was breaking through the barriers of the seal and rushing wildly in the direction of being out of control.

Naruto caught the dangerous signal, but he did not stop it immediately. Instead, he allowed Sasuke to continue pouring out his chakra, his eyes fixed on his curse seal.

He thought that Sasuke's current situation was a bit like he hadn't rewarded himself for too long, and suddenly took medicine he shouldn't have taken, so he urgently needed an outlet to release his "pressure".

"...Let's talk about it in a few minutes." Naruto summoned a shadow clone and let the clone rush towards Konohamaru.

"By the way, Hiruzen's funeral should be coming soon. Does this mean Itachi will be back soon? I'm dying of laughter. Seeing Sasuke like this, he's going to be furious."

Naruto couldn't help but think about the possibility of Team 7 taking advantage of the situation to kill Itachi, but on second thought, he felt that the risk was too great. After all, he was afraid that Sasuke would not be able to resist the influence of his inner demons and fall completely into madness.

"boom!!!"

"boom!!!"

As Sasuke bombarded the Fire and Lightning Techniques without hesitation, the entire training ground seemed to have experienced the baptism of war and began to transition into a battle-damaged version.

The bombardment stopped for a moment, and Naruto realized that Sasuke had started to turn CD, so he began to call out to him loudly: "Sasuke!!"

The pillar turned its head sharply as if it had heard the call of a succubus! Its eyes, looking at Naruto, revealed a ferocious emotion.

He himself couldn't explain this emotion, but in fact, this ferocious emotion came from the fact that Naruto had repeatedly demonstrated outstanding combat power before. This excellence hurt Sasuke's heart and made him doubt whether he had made any progress.

This emotion was infinitely magnified by his inner demon, leading to the current scene. However, his reason told him that Naruto had always taken care of him and helped him kill Danzo. There was a favor here, and he should not do anything bad to Naruto.

He didn't understand that the disputes between people were a mess; he didn't understand the saying that great kindness can be like great hatred; he once agreed with Naruto's proposal to "seriously revive the clan", but he was always caught up in Uchiha Itachi's "chains".

Therefore he is entangled in pain and cannot be free.

"Sasuke..." Naruto walked towards him cautiously, stretched out his hands slightly, and pressed down lightly, expressing the attitude of 'please calm down a little', and then said carefully: "Can you do me a favor?"

Naruto tried to lower his attitude and packaged the matter of "helping Sasuke recover" as "help" in an attempt to lower Sasuke's guard - too many people with mental problems refuse help from others, thinking that it is a kind of charity and proof that there is something wrong with them.

After hearing this, Sasuke calmed down a little and immediately raised his chin: "Do you want to trouble me again, Naruto?"

Damn it, when you recover I will definitely let you know about brotherhood... Naruto's mouth twitched slightly, he nodded, and said calmly:
"Didn't we fight Danzo before? Now I need to receive some of his inheritance, but I'm facing some difficulties."

"I hope you can help. After all, you are very strong now. The bigger your fist, the more powerful it is."

Sasuke looked back at the messy training ground and agreed with Naruto's words - he was indeed very strong now, and because of this, his mood eased a little.

"Okay, but don't delay too long. I still need to spend time practicing."

"I understand. Revenge is important."

……

Naruto took Sasuke to the Hokage Building. During this time, he met Konohamaru who came late. The latter greeted Naruto with sleepiness and dark circles under his eyes.

The child seemed to still be grieving over his grandfather's death, but his mental state was much better than before.

"This is Konohamaru, a reporter from the Konoha Daily. We may need to mobilize public opinion for what's going on, so we called him."

Naruto introduced him to Sasuke, who nodded slightly and looked Konohamaru up and down, which made him feel a little uneasy.

Konohamaru couldn't help but grab the corner of Naruto's clothes and asked in a low voice: "Brother Naruto, this brother looks so fierce..."

"It's okay." He gently patted the back of Konohamaru's hand to reassure him a little.

The two continued to head towards the Hokage Building, and behind them, a man wearing a cat-faced mask quietly followed, trying to understand Naruto's intentions.

After talking with Naruto that day, he thought for a long time, but the inertia of serving the Third Generation for many years made him unable to understand what Naruto said. However, he did not want to go against the Third Generation's last wishes, so he chose to follow behind secretly.

How can this not be called a shadow?
Naruto didn't seem to notice this detail, and just brought the two of them to the door of the Hokage Building. As the place where Hiruzen and Orochimaru fought fiercely, the center of Konoha was more "lively" than usual, with Chunin and Jonin coming and going with heavy hearts.

"By the way, I haven't seen Kakashi for a long time. I wonder if he is as busy as a beyblade now..." Naruto thought to himself, took out the white snake and contacted Red Bean.

"..."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes and listened quietly to the conversation between Naruto and Red Bean. He looked at the little snake and the uneasiness in his heart suddenly magnified.

The main thing was that he suddenly thought of Orochimaru, and this seemingly so convenient technique was also mastered by Naruto?!
After contacting Anko, Naruto smiled at them and said, "It's best to have someone help lead you to the Hokage Building now."

Glancing at Sasuke, he added, "Well, this is the little snake Red Bean gave me. I don't even understand the principle myself." His words implied that he knew nothing about this technology.

Sasuke raised his eyebrows and said nothing. After a while, Hongdou, wearing a long windbreaker, arrived and walked towards Naruto.

"I'm sorry to bother you again. Today I'm here to deal with the 'Root' matter." He said this, making Hongdou look a little surprised.

Has he now reached the point of directly intervening in the 'root'?

Could a Genin be involved in such high-level affairs? She was stunned, surprised by Naruto's boldness, but also felt that it made sense.

By this time, Uzumaki Naruto had begun to truly demonstrate his qualifications and potential as a member of Konoha's Eight Banners.

The real Hokage Prince.

"Hongdou, please take us to see the person in charge of the Root Department. I don't ask for much, just a chance to talk is enough."

"This……"

Hongdou took a slight breath. This request was very bold. No one without a particularly strong relationship would say such a thing.

"It's okay, I've asked someone for help..."

As he was speaking, Naruto suddenly turned around and shouted to the air behind him: "You said so, Captain!"

"what?!"

Red Bean, Sasuke, and Konohamaru were all shocked at the same time. They turned sharply in that direction and soon saw a man wearing a cat-face mask walking out and looking at Naruto with a complicated expression.

"How did you find my whereabouts? I thought I was hiding well enough." The man asked in a calm tone, and Hongdou's pupils shrank. She recognized the man's identity through the mask in an instant!

Hokage's confidant!
But what shocked her even more was that Naruto was able to detect his following, while she herself was oblivious.

This wasn't because of Hongdoucai, but because she was always thinking about Naruto, and because of her heavy thoughts, she ignored the eyes around her.

The reason why Naruto was able to discover his trace was even simpler.

Because Kyuubi told him.

The man might be able to hide from Naruto now, but he might not be able to avoid the Nine-Tailed Fox's conscious investigation. However, this investigation was not without reason. It was awakened by Sasuke's overwhelming malice last night, and it sensed this malice in the excitement this morning.

Instinct drove it to find out the reason. This search was not a big deal as it directly exposed the location of Bai Yi. After considering for a moment, it chose to tell Naruto.

Hence this impromptu plan.

Use the man's connections to find the Anbu in charge of the 'Root' and achieve Naruto's previous goal - to recover the remaining Sharingan.

This matter is of great significance to Naruto, as it is related to the first phase of his preliminary plan for Sasuke's treatment.

Konohamaru reacted violently, and he felt a sense of respect for Naruto. Of course, this respect had begun to grow gradually when Naruto comforted him.

Sasuke's mood was even more complicated. The moment he saw the man in white, he actually had the thought that he would never be able to catch up with Naruto. He felt a little desperate, but it was quickly replaced by resentment.

Why can he do it but I can't? There must be some secrets involved, a secret only known to Uzumaki Naruto himself.

Bai Yi slowly walked towards the three people. He ignored Hongdou, Sasuke and Konohamaru, and said respectfully to Naruto: "I have already informed the Anbu people. She will help you do this, but she needs a reason, a legitimate reason."

"Yeah," Naruto nodded calmly, but instead of responding directly, he asked, "Is this person yours?"

"She and I have some acquaintance."

"I see. Can you lead the way?"

"I'm sorry, I can't appear in the Hokage Building too often. There are many people in Konoha who have opinions about... the decisions made by the Third Hokage."

This means that the Konoha high-level officials have expressed their objection to one of Hiruzen's last words, "Let Bai Yi become Naruto's shadow", but considering the special power vacuum, they have not yet made a big deal of this matter.

In fact, for this matter to get the tacit approval of the top management, the opinion of the fifth Hokage is needed. In other words, Naruto must obtain Tsunade's initial approval before he can feel at ease to take over Bai Yi's connection.

We will discuss this later.

"I see. Then please tell the lady next to me."

He pointed at Red Bean, who disagreed with Naruto's address as 'Madam', but did not say anything. Instead, she walked towards Bai Yi. The two of them had a brief private chat, and Red Bean looked surprised.

"I didn't expect that this matter was handed over to her..." Hongdou's expression was complicated, and she had a new understanding of Naruto's 'all-knowing hands and eyes'.

"I understand. I will take Naruto-kun to meet her next." Hongdou changed the way she addressed Naruto, adding the word 'kun'.

"No, take the three of us with you," Naruto said calmly, gesturing towards Sasuke and Konohamaru.

Bai Yi and Hong Dou turned their heads at the same time. They were very familiar with Konohamaru, but why did this Uchiha boy look so violent?

"Naruto-kun, this matter may not be suitable for outsiders to participate." Hongdou thought for a while and said.

"The captain just said that I need a legitimate reason for what I did, right?"

"Yes."

"They are the legitimate reasons." Naruto pointed at Sasuke and Konohamaru, and put Sasuke at the core position.

The two were a little surprised. Why would these two people be involved in this matter? But their upbringing as Anbu kept them quiet. Bai Yi nodded slowly, motioning Hongdou to lead them in while he continued to lurk in the shadows.

The three of them walked into the Hokage Building. Along the way, Chunin and Jonin in various uniforms came and went in a hurry. Most of them looked tired, but this did not make them relax at all. Instead, they kept Konoha running like a high-speed machine.

The negotiations with the Sand Ninja, Danzo's backstab, the power vacuum caused by Sarutobi Hiruzen's death, the post-war recovery of Konoha Village, and various basic people's livelihood issues made every elite in the Hokage Building exhausted.

But no matter how tired one is, it is hard to sympathize with them, because the people who suffer the most are the ordinary civilians at the bottom of society.

rustling...

The four of them walked like this, few people noticed them, and soon they arrived at an office.

Pushing the door open and entering the office, the four of them were surprised to see a delicate figure with purple hair.

The evening face of Maoyue.

Under Bai Yi's guidance, she began to take charge of the recovery of the Root's legacy. This was not difficult, as Moonlight Gale's death was a conspiracy, which meant that from her perspective, she would naturally show no mercy to the Root, thus eliminating any nepotism.

There was not only Mao Yue Xi Yan in the office. There were several other figures wearing masks who were whispering something with her. One of them noticed the movements of the four people, turned around, and looked at them with some confusion and vigilance.

"Xiyan." Hongdou asked the busy Xiyan to turn around and look over. Her eyes flashed over the four people, and her eyes locked onto the calm Uzumaki Naruto behind her.

"It's him..." Xiyan suddenly became energetic, but she didn't show it. Instead, she slowly said to Hongdou, "What's the matter?"

"It's like this, Naruto-kun... Naruto wants to tell you about the Root..." As Anko said this, several Anbu around her looked at her sideways with different expressions.

It's safe to say that Uzumaki Naruto is definitely the hottest topic among Konoha's top brass right now. If Konoha had a trending search list, the most likely trending words these days would be #IsUzumakiNarutoworthy?, #Hiruzen'sLastWords, and #SecondGenerationYellowFlash, followed by a red "explosion."

So, no one was surprised that the teenager showed up at the office.

The prince of Konoha has proven with facts that he can mediate effectively in Konoha's political arena and even get what he wants.

The few Anbu who know Naruto's life experience will even compare him with the past Namikaze Minato, and then come to a conclusion -

This boy has the appearance of a Hokage.
