After transforming, I became the wife of all Naruto fans.

Chapter 104 Debate

"Sassy!"

Naruto was thrilled to see Sasuke finally emerge from the barrel.

Hearing the familiar call, Sasuke turned around and said, "Ah, it's Naruto and Shikamaru! Did the Fifth Hokage send you?"

"The Fifth Hokage?" Upon hearing Sasuke's words, Naruto's expression of surprise subconsciously disappeared.

With his quick wit and intelligence, he has actually realized something, but he is unwilling to admit it yet.

On the contrary, Shikamaru suddenly realized.

"As expected!" Shikamaru pulled back the restless Naruto and asked solemnly, "Sasuke, you went with them willingly, didn't you?"

“When we told Qianyu about this, I noticed something was wrong. She wasn’t surprised by your departure, but she was surprised that we knew.”

"This means that Chiyu knew you were leaving and agreed to let you go, because as the best among us, if she wanted to stop you, you definitely wouldn't be able to leave."

"That's right!" Sasuke nodded in agreement, and also praised Shikamaru: "You guessed right, Shikamaru. Although Chiba is the best among us, you're not bad in terms of brains either!"

However, upon hearing their conversation, Naruto was shocked:

"What? Sasuke left voluntarily?"

"And Chiba knew about this beforehand? And he even approved of Sasuke's departure!?"

"Impossible, how could Chiba possibly agree to Sasuke leaving?" Naruto refused to believe it.

They fought their way through, and Chiba even stopped Orochimaru so that they could chase after Sasuke. They put in so much effort, and then you tell him that Chiba is on Sasuke's side?

"Hehe, that's where you don't understand Qianyu!"

Looking at the incredulous Naruto, Sasuke suddenly felt a sense of superiority for some reason.

With a slightly smug smile, he raised his voice and said, "Qianyu has always respected each of our personal wishes! Haven't you noticed? In the process of getting along, she has never forced us!"

"However, Naruto, out of the three of us, you only pay more attention to me!"

"Really..." Sasuke shook his head and shrugged, the mockery and ridicule clearly visible.

Obviously, the guy was quite speechless that Naruto wasn't eyeing a great beauty like Chiba, but instead spending all his time staring at his buddy.

Seeing this hilarious scene, everyone in the live stream burst into laughter.

"Hilarious! Naruto's homosexuality in Konoha has left Sasuke speechless!"

"Sasuke's吐槽 (x) Official吐槽 (√)"

"It's a case of being young and naive, not knowing the value of childhood friends, and mistaking a buddy for a treasure."

"Yeah, at most I can play games with you, I can't sleep with you, why are you risking your life?"

"Hahaha, so true! In the end, buddy, you still have to live with your sister-in-law!"

"They haven't grown up yet, they haven't awakened!"

Someone has made a precise summary of Naruto.

Unfortunately, growing up and becoming mature are things that can't be achieved just by talking about them.

Listening to Sasuke's words, Naruto was completely oblivious to what he meant at the end, only focusing on what Sasuke had said earlier: that Chiba had always respected and supported them.

Now, Naruto recalled it and realized that it was indeed true.

His environment from childhood was filled with prejudice, inexplicable malice, and ridicule.

But Qianyu never encountered any of these things; all she received was respect, listening, and care from nature.

When he does something silly, Chiyu laughs, but it's a good-natured laugh!

Naruto has never had any objections to Chiba.

But if that's the case... Naruto's IQ suddenly kicks in!

He suddenly thought of a question!

Since Chiba, being the smartest and most reliable among them, agreed to Sasuke's departure, shouldn't he also agree?

After all, whenever Naruto encounters trouble, he consults his own brilliant wisdom, and every time, this brilliant wisdom answers, "Why not ask the clever Chiba?"

Thinking this, Naruto suddenly wavered.

Fortunately, Shikamaru was standing next to him, his second external brain.

Seeing Naruto wavering, Shikamaru reminded him, "Naruto, the information the Fifth Hokage gave me never mentioned that Sasuke was kidnapped; it only said that he left Konoha on his own."

"So we've come here to find out why Sasuke left Konoha!"

"If he's been tricked, then we'll save him. But if Sasuke is going to become a rogue ninja, then we must also fulfill our duty as Konoha ninjas!"

"Yes!" Naruto suddenly realized.

How could he, as a Konoha ninja, let his comrades leave?

He took a step forward, his words flowing again: "I don't care, all I know is that you are our companion. If there are any difficulties or predicaments, wouldn't it be better to face them together? Why do we have to go to that snake demon?"

This is a classic Naruto-esque response: belief can overcome anything.

But Sasuke clearly couldn't accept that answer.

"You really don't know anything, do you!"

Sasuke's expression turned cold: "You're a ninja now, can't you be a little more mature?"

"Didn't you ever consider just how difficult things are for me?"

Sasuke played the reality card.

But Naruto stuck to his old argument: "Even so, you should have told me! It's always better for everyone to share the burden than for one person to bear it alone!"

"Share the burden?" Sasuke recalled those densely packed eyeballs.

This is clearly not something that any single force in Konoha could accomplish.

For such a place to appear in Konoha, there must be a problem in the very center and core of the village.

Staying in Konoha means you'll never know how you died, and you might even be counting money for others after you're gone!

Given this situation, how can Naruto, with his mere words, possibly share the burden with him?

"Forget it, I shouldn't have discussed these things with you!"

Sasuke didn't want to talk to Naruto anymore, and he said disappointedly:

"Naruto, whether in terms of strength or mentality, you are far inferior to Chiba!"

Sasuke asked seriously, "To put it bluntly, Naruto, are you worthy to share my burden?"

What's rare is that he wasn't mocking Naruto, but rather genuinely asking if he was worthy.

At the same time, seeing Naruto's indignant expression, he became even more patient than before and said one more thing.

"Let's put it this way: if I were to kidnap the Fifth Hokage right now for my own sake, do you have the ability to fight your way in with me?"

"Kidnapping... Granny Tsunade?" Naruto's expression froze, as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water, and he instantly calmed down.

Having witnessed Tsunade's power, he was certain that he did not possess that strength.

At the same time, he didn't know what could possibly drive Sasuke to kidnap a Hokage.

Seeing that Naruto seemed to understand, Sasuke smiled calmly: "But Chiba has the strength!"

Naruto remained silent.

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

Compared to Sasuke and Chiba, he was indeed much worse.

For some reason, Naruto suddenly understood what Shikamaru meant by fulfilling his obligations.

That is, at the moment when Chiba agreed that Sasuke was leaving, Sasuke's departure was definitely justified and necessary, and his clumsy nature made it impossible for him to change anything.

Since that's the case...

"Then let's fight!" Naruto stepped forward, his fighting spirit surging: "Let's continue the battle we didn't finish at Konoha Hospital!"

"Sasuke, even if I can't stop you, I at least need to know just how much I'm inferior to you!"
