Sasuke Learns Social Graces

Naruto and Sakura simultaneously turned their heads. At this moment, Sasuke was covered in Curse Marks, surrounded by a murderous aura, like an Asura.

Naruto didn't answer Sasuke's question. Instead, he whispered to Sakura, "We'll discuss that woman later. I feel a strong killing intent right now; it might be because I've been using the Nine-Tails too frequently lately."

Sakura's eyes showed a hint of worry upon hearing this. "Then take your time to calm down. But is it okay to just let her escape like this?"

"...It's not a big problem. I noticed her reaction just now and have a guess."

Just as Sakura was about to ask further, she suddenly heard Sasuke's low voice from behind.

"Naruto..." His eyes narrowed as he felt his surging power, and he couldn't help but ponder the gap between himself and Naruto.

Sasuke: "Was that person just now our enemy?"

Naruto looked at Sasuke. "Yes, but we got both books, so there's no need to pursue her further." He then raised the Book of Earth in his hand.

"By the way, what's with your appearance?" Naruto pretended to be completely clueless, scrutinizing Sasuke from head to toe, trying to gauge his current state.

"Ah... this is from him. New power... I understand now. To become an Avenger, one must use any means necessary, even selling one's body to a demon."

Naruto couldn't help but feel a bit emotional. Only a "cool guy" like Sasuke could say such a thing without any awkwardness and easily gain fangirls.

"If that's the case, then congratulations. But forget selling yourself to a demon. If you want revenge, we can definitely go with you," Naruto said with a grin, which made Sasuke freeze. Impatience quickly welled up in his heart.

Why could he talk about revenge so casually? Did he not know that his entire clan was killed by Itachi?

Moreover, he actually said he would help me get revenge? What a joke! How could an outsider like you interfere in the Uchiha clan's affairs?

Sasuke's mind again flashed back to Naruto's previous glorious achievements, and negative emotions almost consumed his mind.

A thought suddenly struck him.

"Hey, Naruto..." Sasuke stared at Naruto and said word by word, "Let's have a match. I want to see what this power is like."

Naruto rubbed his forehead. Sasuke was indeed feeling himself again and was eager to get beaten.

However, according to the original story, after he woke up, he beat up Zaku and broke his arm, which led him to gradually lose himself in the power granted by Orochimaru, unable to extricate himself.

Naruto naturally supported Sasuke in cleaning house. After all, killing an entire clan and paying with one's life was only natural. But it would be bad if he were exploited by having his human weakness seized upon because of it.

Sakura waved her hand, signaling for the two to settle it themselves.

"Fine," Naruto stood up, no longer suppressing the malice emanating from the Nine-Tails, causing the ground around him to heat up dangerously. "Then, let's brothers have a spar. But I'm saying this upfront: no killing."

With that, Naruto's body instantly released red chakra, like a fierce tiger!

"This is actually a bit worrying. It's already showing the beginnings of a Chakra Cloak." Naruto looked at himself and had a hint of worry on his face.

But on the other side, Sasuke's eyes widened gradually.

He was surprised to find that his berserk power was slowly receding, and the Curse Mark of Heaven covering his entire body began to slowly retract towards his neck.

"As expected..." Naruto remembered that he had once suppressed Anko's Curse Mark of Heaven with Nine-Tails Chakra. There was no reason this wouldn't work on Sasuke.

He slowly walked towards Sasuke. The closer he got, the faster Sasuke's Curse Mark retracted. In the end, Sasuke felt his surging power begin to calm down again, like a fierce Mighty Lion being soothed.

"What... what is happening?" Sasuke was extremely surprised. Could this power be suppressed by Naruto?

"The Nine-Tails Fox, you know it?" Naruto pointed to his abdomen and reined in the Nine-Tails Chakra.

"This darn thing is sealed inside me. I usually use this power to fight; it's like an external force."

"I suspect the Curse Mark on you also comes from an external force. And this external force is no match for the Nine-Tails. After all, it's a Tailed Beast. The Nine-Tails would lose face if it didn't suppress you."

Sasuke no longer had the desire to fight Naruto. Instead, he fell into thought.

"So, you see," Naruto patted Sasuke's shoulder, "this thing isn't that amazing. And now I'm afraid to release my power randomly, for fear that the Nine-Tails will devour my sanity. It's the same for you; you need to be mindful of the influence of this external force."

"As for revenge, I genuinely think you can find us to help. Sakura and I are people you met during your Genin days. Connections are meant to be used."

"Even Konoha relies on connections. Look, the First and Second Hokage were brothers, the Second's student was the Third, and the Third's student's student was the Fourth..."

Naruto subconsciously shared his life experiences from his previous world with Sasuke. His incessant chatter made Sakura yawn, but Sasuke listened with unusual focus.

Perhaps it was Naruto's displayed strength that increased his credibility. Sasuke didn't retort in the end. Naruto also showed a gratified smile, knowing that Sasuke had listened, and that was enough.

The three of them tidied up the battlefield, confirmed nothing was left behind, bid farewell to Rock Lee, and quickly departed.

"Tenten, Neji, Ino, Shikamaru, Choji... they might have overheard our conversation to varying degrees. Fortunately, no one mentioned the Transmigrator. To them, it was just a crazy woman spouting nonsense," Naruto mused inwardly, picking up his pace again.

In the original story, these people witnessed Sasuke's transformation process. Therefore, Naruto assumed they were hiding nearby, and only remained silent because Team 7 was not in danger.

The three of them camped near a stream, set up traps, and caught fish.

They reached the evening peacefully. After Sasuke fell asleep, Sakura proactively approached Naruto to talk about what happened during the day.

"What are your thoughts on that person?" Sakura asked Naruto, staring at him.

Naruto glanced around and lowered his voice. "She'll definitely find us later, seeking refuge. After all, she can't stay with the Sound Ninja anymore. Of course, that's a normal person's thinking."

"And abnormal thinking?"

"Uh..." Naruto coughed. "I think she'll continue to harass us in ways she considers 'good'."

"Then should we find an opportunity to get rid of her?" Sakura touched her neck.

"Yes," Naruto nodded.

Although it was normal for an ordinary person to transmigrate to Naruto's world and cling to the protagonist, this woman's mental state was too unstable.

What if she directly revealed herself as a werewolf and blurted out everything about the transmigration? Both he and Sakura would be in trouble.

As they were thinking, Naruto and Sakura suddenly heard a noise from behind them.
