Twisted Truth

Dosu was stunned. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what had just happened. His eyes flickered between shock, confusion, and bewilderment, revealing his incomprehension.

The cold kunai frantically devoured his life. He wanted to turn back, but a hand forcefully pressed down on his head.

Sakura watched the scene before her, feeling like she'd fallen into an ice cave. This overly shocking sight made her body tremble slightly, not just because of Dosu's death, but also because of the killer...

Dosu's eyes widened. He struggled desperately, trying to turn his head to see the killer's true face.

But that one strong hand gave him no such opportunity. In the end, Dosu's body went limp, his legs buckling as he knelt on the ground, like a puppet whose spine had been removed. Only his wide-open eyes remained unable to close.

He died with his eyes wide open.

"Bang—" Dosu's body fell to the ground.

Sakura stared blankly at the scene, the word 'impossible' filling her mind. No, perhaps from the very beginning, she shouldn't have tried to understand the Transmigrator's intentions with common sense. This guy's thought process had absolutely nothing to do with normal people!

The woman glanced at Dosu, then at her own right hand covered in blood. Her breathing quickened, and then she stared straight at Sakura, revealing a clear gaze that seemed to expect a reward, a stark contrast to her bloody actions.

"Dead, finally dead..." the woman murmured softly, then flashed a pathological smile at Sakura. "Hahahahahahahahaha! Finally, everyone's dead! Come on, let's talk..."

Before she could finish, a red light flashed rapidly from behind her, and a hand holding a purple Rasengan shot straight towards the woman, smashing directly into her back!

"Boom!!"

Before the Rasengan could fully detonate, the woman's body exploded into a cloud of thick white smoke.

Seeing this, Naruto immediately wrapped the Rasengan in Nine-Tails Chakra and extended it into the distance, allowing the violent chakra vortex to erupt and pulverize the distant trees.

Currently, Naruto could only be considered to have passed the second stage of his training. He had achieved the utmost in rotation and power, but there was still room for improvement in maintaining compression.

"Shadow Clone..." Naruto felt as if he were facing a great enemy. He flashed to Sakura's side and whispered, "Sorry, I was watching from the side, thinking I'd sneak attack when the Transmigrator appeared."

Yes, from the moment the Sound Ninja ambushed Sakura, Naruto had already arrived at the scene. He just hadn't chosen to provide direct support; instead, he hid, sticking to the original fishing plan and waiting for the Transmigrator to take the bait.

Naruto felt a pang of fear. If the Transmigrator hadn't self-destructed, he would never have guessed. He could only sigh, realizing he truly had no talent for playing Werewolf.

Those who play mind games have dark hearts.

"It's okay," Sakura nodded, looking seriously at the woman emerging from another bush.

The woman tidied her jet-black hair and looked at Naruto and Sakura, a hint of distortion in her smile, making it hard to discern her thoughts.

Kin Tsuchi, a Genin from Otogakure, was ordered by Orochimaru to attack Sasuke. Just now, she had personally backstabbed Dosu.

Kin took out a senbon and casually threw it at the fallen Zaku. Instantly, his body bled profusely, and he was close to death.

It seemed as if she was merely handling a trivial matter.

"Naruto, kill her."

Naruto's eyelids twitched. He couldn't help but look at the Nine-Tails in his mental space, its expression playful. This demon fox, who had accumulated countless negative emotions, was asking him to kill the Transmigrator?

No, that wasn't right.

Naruto realized that it was his own killing intent that had surged, and if he were to kill again, he might resonate with the Nine-Tails Chakra, thus being completely influenced and falling into becoming a puppet manipulated by others.

But the surge of killing intent wasn't surprising. Everything the woman before him had done served as a constant warning to Naruto: this person cannot be allowed to live!

"You help us one moment, and then you harm us the next. I don't understand what you're thinking," Naruto said slowly, completely retracting the Nine-Tails Chakra, and facing the woman. "Why don't you tell us what you're trying to do?"

Kin tilted her head, remaining silent for a moment. Then, a thin layer of mist appeared in her eyes. "You, you say I harmed you? I was clearly helping you the whole time!!"

"During the first exam, I kindly said hello to you, and you acted like nothing happened, not even willing to greet me!"

"After entering the Forest of Death, I left messages for you all the way. If you had just followed the messages, you would have found the Book of Earth!"

"Sakura, I clearly gave you a hint, but you insisted on staying here, forcing me to clean up your mess and kill my comrade. Ha, ha ha..."

Kin's hair was disheveled, her eyes were manic, and a bizarre curve formed at the corner of her mouth. Her emotions were like a runaway horse, on the verge of losing control.

"How about this!" Kin suddenly jumped in front of Dosu and began searching him, then pulled out the [Book of Earth] and extended it forward. "The Book of Earth! You take it. Now I'm helping, right!"

As she stepped forward, both Naruto and Sakura recoiled in shock, looking as if they had seen a ghost.

Good heavens, what kind of logic is this?

Naruto's forehead was covered in black lines. He hadn't expected Kin to understand her own actions from such a bizarre perspective.

Threatening to reveal secrets was saying hello, writing M-like notes was indicating direction, and killing comrades was cleaning up a mess...

Enterprise-level understanding.

"Then, what did you mean by throwing that kunai with the note at me just now?" Sakura picked up the note that read [Hee hee].

"Hahaha, it's just that, Sakura-chan, you're too amazing... If you defeated them all, wouldn't I be useless? Haha..."

Naruto's expression was like he was constipated. "You know, you're actually not wrong, there's a little bit of logic to that..."

He tried to understand the woman's thought process.

Sakura stiffly turned to Naruto. "What logic is there?"

"...There is."

Understanding failed.

Seeing their increasingly strange expressions, Kin became anxious. She looked as if she were about to have a hysterical breakdown, and threw the Book of Earth forcefully towards them, saying:

"How about I become your subordinate? I can't go back to Orochimaru's side anyway, no, no, no. I can serve you tea and water..."

As she spoke, her eyes seemed to regain clarity for a moment. The wide-open mouth gradually closed, her expression no longer manic. She merely looked at Naruto with a hint of fear in her gaze.

"Bang!!"

A large cloud of black energy exploded beside Sasuke. His eyes snapped open, and he slowly pushed himself up on his limbs, looking towards the three of them.

Naruto turned his head, and Kin immediately turned and ran, disappearing from their sight!

"Should we chase?" Sakura asked anxiously. She was worried, and only Naruto's Nine-Tails cheat could stably suppress this person.

Naruto glanced at Sasuke, only to see the latter first with an expression of ecstasy, then emitting an evil aura all over his body as he said to the two of them:

"Who was that person just now?"
