Who is the protagonist?

"Clang, clang!"

Accompanied by the sound of chains tearing through the sky, thick chains instantly bound Kakashi. Two masked ninjas in silver armor, with disheveled hair, pulled hard.

Kakashi instantly shattered into bloody chunks.

At this very moment, it was just like that time, yet slightly different.

Before the two could even say "kill him," Haruno Sakura swiftly threw a kunai wrapped with explosive tags from her ninja pouch towards the rear, tackling Daz across the ground the moment the tags ignited.

"BOOM!!!"

Stones scattered and exploded into fragments all around. At the same time, the nearly complete Mist Technique was blown away by the hurricane of the explosion, followed by swirling dust.

Visibility instantly cleared up considerably.

Sasuke froze for a second before quickly pulling out a kunai, digging his toes into the ground, and charging fiercely towards the three enemies behind Sakura, instinctively throwing the Uchiha Shurikenjutsu!

Three more enemies, plus the previous two, that's at least five enemies!

"Clink! Clink! Clink!"

The kunai and shuriken ricocheted off each other, instantly forming a net that sealed off all angles of the enemies.

One of the enemies couldn't react in time, hit by two kunai in the arm and abdomen. The force of the ricochet drove them deep into the flesh, incapacitating them on the spot.

"Careful!" Sakura shouted, deflecting a chain behind Sasuke with her kunai, stumbling back two steps from the impact.

She could clearly feel her body trembling uncontrollably, a tremor that didn't subside as the fight progressed.

Sakura even momentarily forgot the hand seals for Water Style Jutsu.

After all, what are the chances a woman who transmigrated from Earth could remain calm in front of bloodthirsty ninjas?

"Swish!" A shuriken whizzed past her, slicing open her cheek. Sakura swung her kunai, deflecting all the remaining shuriken.

Seeing this, Sasuke kicked an enemy away and then shielded Sakura, saying, "Protect Daz first, I'll protect you!"

Sakura stared blankly at Sasuke.

She inexplicably recalled a certain night on Earth.

Back when she was an undergraduate, to pass the time, she streamed herself speedrunning Sekiro with no damage taken in her dorm.

Her viewership was practically nonexistent, only a single-digit number of people watching after half a day.

She had just finished a no-damage run against Genichiro when she accidentally got herself stuck by taking a shortcut.

She sighed, "What a shame, this was the fastest run yet."

Her female voice through the microphone caught the attention of a viewer, who typed in surprise in the public chat:

"She's a girl?"

She instantly felt incredibly annoyed.

What's wrong with being a girl? Can't girls speedrun Sekiro?

Later, when she streamed Elden Ring co-op, she received similar comments, and her inbox began to flood with harassing private messages.

"5000 a night, deal?" "Selling used stockings?" "Can you step on me?" "Looking for a bitch."...

She turned off her microphone, switched to an alt account, and started streaming a level 1, no-damage run of Elden Ring against all bosses.

This took her about half a year.

She succeeded.

Memories surged through Sakura's mind like a tide, Sasuke's unintentional words jolting her back to that restless summer night.

It wasn't that Sasuke was arrogant, it was just that your big sis Sakura was a little displeased.

Sakura's eyes gradually sharpened. She put her kunai back in her pouch and signaled for Sasuke to cover her.

Before Sasuke could react, Sakura lunged forward, her target: the three enemies in front of her!

"Swish! Swish!" Sakura kicked away one shuriken, while Sasuke blocked the other. She then wrapped her fist in Chakra, crouched down, and threw a punch straight at an enemy.

This punch was as powerful as mountains and seas, as fierce as a dragon and tiger!

"Pfft!"

"Ahhh!!" The enemy in front of her let out a piercing scream.

Incidentally, Sakura aimed for his crotch.

Encountering a "Ding Dang Cat" on Earth might make you a bit of a slut, but encountering one in Naruto means you're out of luck.

Sakura knew very well that with her current strength, the only way to easily defeat the enemies was to maximize her brute force advantage and buy time for Naruto's return.

It was like how Sekiro plunges into an enemy's weak point after depleting their posture bar; she just skipped straight to the final step.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

As Sasuke covered Sakura with his shurikenjutsu, he couldn't help but feel a chilling cold spreading through his lower body.

Oh my god!

Sakura and Sasuke cooperated flawlessly, beginning to push the enemies back.

The enemies who came later looked at Sakura with deep fear, their combat rhythm completely disrupted.

At this moment, Sasuke also began to slaughter, in the original work he could handle two people with ease, and now after a period of military training, his hands were getting hotter.

Meanwhile.

Naruto opened his eyes and let out a turbid breath.

This damn thing is really persistent, but it should be enough time.

Kakashi is definitely hiding and watching anyway.

He did a lot of operations in his spiritual space and finally managed to trick a large mass of scarlet chakra.

Naruto took a small piece of this chakra, like tearing off a small piece of marshmallow with his hand, and immediately put it into his chest.

Instantly, his heart was filled with malice, but fortunately, he was still able to control it.

Naruto sprinted forward quickly and soon saw Sakura and Sasuke, who were beating the enemies back.

"I'm here!" Naruto leaped up and punched the nearest enemy, caving in his chest.

He ran forward again, but Naruto quickly discovered that the enemies were already in a sorry state.

He looked at Sakura, who seemed even more murderous than him, and Sasuke, who was sweating, and fell into thought.

Uh, wait...

Why do I feel like there's nothing for me to do here?

How is this different from the script I imagined?

Who is the protagonist anyway?!

Naruto's heart was suddenly filled with a strong sense of frustration.

He originally thought the enemies would be extremely powerful, and even the three of them couldn't defeat them even if they tried their best, which is why he immediately activated the Nine-Tails' power.

Now he realized that the enemies' level didn't seem to be that high?

No, I've been talking so much in my spiritual space, how can I let them steal the credit!

"Get out of the way!" Naruto roared at Sakura and Sasuke, and charged straight into the battle!

He first imitated Sakura, one punch for one kid, knocking out all the nearby enemies.

Then he suddenly felt something was wrong, wait, why am I imitating Sakura!

So he summoned Multiple Shadow Clones and entered group-fighting mode.

It was mostly simple and unadorned taijutsu, the Nine-Tails chakra enhanced version.

"Leave a few alive, we still need to interrogate them!" Sakura shouted from behind.

"Okay," Naruto immediately grabbed one person and started beating him while asking, "Are you going to talk? I'm asking if you're going to talk? Are you going to talk? Are you going to talk?"

The person wanted to cry but had no tears, why don't you ask first!

Naruto punched the person unconscious, then grabbed another one and continued the interrogation.

The interrogation included: What is the Third Hokage's bank password? How many kunai did you just use? What color nail polish did the Akatsuki use? Is your aunt married or not, etc.

Finally, Sasuke and Sakura pulled Naruto, who was getting more and more carried away, back.

After stopping, Naruto claimed it was all the fault of the evil Nine-Tails influencing his mind.
