Naruto This Kid Definitely Has Some Weird Fetish

Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, a pleasant afternoon had arrived.

Sasuke remained with his eyes closed, utilizing the system to cultivate.

However, just as he was on the verge of a breakthrough, he was suddenly awakened by a shout from Naruto.

Sigh... there are just too many unexpected factors when you're out in the wild...

He let out a soft sigh in his heart and slowly opened his eyes, only to see Naruto waving a fish he had grilled at some point, running toward him at full speed with excitement.

Naruto and Tazuna had been chatting happily, and before they knew it, it was afternoon.

He had been lucky enough to catch a few small fish in the nearby stream.

After grilling them and distributing them to Kakashi and Tazuna, Naruto couldn't help but cast his gaze toward Sakura, who still seemed lost in thought.

Should I go over there or not?...

Naruto pondered for a long time and hesitated in place for quite a while, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to make a decision.

Sakura had seemed truly angry about what happened yesterday, and he didn't dare to provoke her right now.

And so, after handing the grilled fish in his hand to Tazuna and asking him to pass it to Sakura on his behalf, Naruto finally turned his gaze toward Sasuke, who was training with his eyes lowered.

Sigh... I really never imagined that we were the same kind of person...

He paused, and based on what he had heard about Sasuke's background yesterday, Naruto took a deep breath and walked toward Sasuke.

"Sasuke, here, grilled fish."

He spoke the simple words with a friendly smile on his face, as if he weren't the same Naruto who had been jealous of Sasuke all this time.

Grilled fish?...

Sasuke looked at the river nearby, then glanced at Sakura, who was still washing her feet in the upstream not far away, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Are you a foot fetishist, Naruto?

How can you eat that so happily?...

After being stunned for only a few seconds, Sasuke regained his composure. He cleared his throat twice and responded with an awkward smile:

"I... I'm not hungry, I don't have much of an appetite. You should eat this yourself..."

"No appetite?..."

Naruto sniffed the fragrant grilled fish in his hand, frowned, and confirmed again:

"It smells so good, are you sure you really don't want any?..."

Sasuke nodded with a smile:

"I'm not eating, thank you, Naruto..."

His expression was extremely strange.

Having received such a definitive answer from Sasuke for the first time, Naruto was in a great mood. He laughed out loud and began to scarf it down with gusto.

Watching this scene, Sasuke furrowed his brows. At this moment, he was even more certain that this kid Naruto had done it on purpose, not by accident...

"Gurgle..."

No sooner had Naruto walked away than Sasuke's stomach protested ungratefully.

There was no help for it; he didn't want to eat foot-flavored grilled fish, so he turned around and secretly popped a few Military Ration Pills into his mouth, away from Naruto's direction.

Military Ration Pills were similar to the compressed biscuits from his past life.

Although the taste wasn't great, they were small and filling, and most importantly, they could replenish a ninja's chakra to a certain extent, which was perfect for Sasuke right now.

As soon as he swallowed the Military Ration Pills, Sasuke felt much better.

But just as he was about to find a comfortable spot to sit cross-legged and resume his cultivation, several sounds of wind being broken suddenly rang out across the clearing.

Sasuke became alert instantly, but when he turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, he saw that Kakashi had already been surrounded by several masked ninjas.

As the figures stood still, Sasuke finally saw them clearly: there were four ninjas.

Their positioning was precise; the moment they appeared, they had surrounded Kakashi from the front, back, left, and right in a square formation.

These were clearly a team of well-trained assassin ninjas!

Without giving Sasuke any more time to observe, in the blink of an eye, several iron chains shot out from the sleeves of the four ninjas!

Like a cage, they instantly bound Kakashi tightly.

Seeing Kakashi restrained, the four men flicked their wrists, and suddenly, jagged barbs erupted from the chains binding him.

The cold light was chilling, sharp beyond measure!

In an instant, the four men exerted force in unison. With a sickening squelch, blood sprayed into the air and a crimson mist dispersed; Kakashi had abruptly transformed into a pool of blood.

"This..."

Tazuna was stunned.

He knew all too well what kind of heavyweight figure from Konoha had just been killed in an instant.

That was an elite Jonin, someone who could arguably be called the strongest person beneath the Hokage, yet now...

Naruto and Sakura both cried out in shock, frozen in place and at a loss, as if they had been struck by Tsukuyomi, unable to move a muscle.

Unlike the other three, Sasuke was the first to react upon seeing this scene:

"Not good! Someone hired assassins specifically for this!..."

Not far away, the four ninjas sneered repeatedly as they saw Kakashi, the one with the highest cultivation, eliminated first.

Immediately after.

Turning to look at the four behind them, they muttered:

"Is Gekko Hayate only capable of this?"

"They say Konoha Jonin are world-renowned, but it seems they are nothing more than this..."

"Hehehe..."

With that, they exchanged glances and turned their attention toward Team 7 and Tazuna.

But just then.

A fireball suddenly appeared out of thin air, sweeping toward the four of them.

Its power was immense, resembling a scorching sun.

"This chakra... could it be that a high-level Chunin is hiding in there?..."

The four were part of the same squad, so without needing to communicate, their figures flickered. In an instant, they stood in a row, their hand seals changing in unison as they roared:

"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"

Their chests swelled, and in a heartbeat, four water jets converged into a water dragon dozens of meters long, its terrifying momentum surging straight toward the fireball.

With a boom!

The two collided, kicking up waves of spray. Immediately after, large swathes of steam hissed and crackled; the fireball grew smaller and smaller until it was swallowed by the water dragon and vanished without a trace!

But it wasn't over yet; the fireball had disappeared, but the water dragon's momentum remained undiminished.

Like a beast released from a cage, it rampaged forward, heading straight for Sasuke!

With a boom!

Caught completely off guard, Sasuke had never expected that these four not only possessed seamless coordination but also a combined ninjutsu.

Taken by surprise, he was sent flying by the surging water dragon. Like a discarded sack, he flew uncontrollably into the distant grass, his life or death unknown.

"Sasuke!..."

Seeing this, Sakura and Naruto were struck with terror!

They had considered that Sasuke might not be a match for the four opponents.

But they never imagined he would be defeated so quickly.

Seeing this, they both wore expressions of fury, determined to fight to the death against the four men walking toward them.

"Don't be impulsive..."

Just then, Tazuna grabbed Naruto and Sakura, who were about to rush forward to risk their lives.

Turning around, his expression shifted as if he were a different person. He stepped forward and greeted them politely:

"Gentlemen, as ninjas, you do this for money."

"How about this: I am willing to pay triple what the person who hired you is paying."

"I only ask that you spare the three of us today, how about it?..."

His tone was kind and his attitude humble, but this was clearly typical merchant thinking.

How could such a thing possibly work in this chaotic world of ninjas?
