Chapter 98

Haruno Sakura stepped forward, passing behind Naruto so the others couldn't see her expression.

"I'm sorry, I..." Haruno Sakura's clumsy acting didn't fool Uzumaki Naruto. Naruto said with some sadness:

"The weather looks nice today, let's open the curtains!" Haruno Sakura didn't let Naruto continue, instead changing the subject!

After speaking, Haruno Sakura pulled open the curtains and opened the closed window as well!

Nara Shikamaru and Tsunade said nothing; how could they, being so intelligent, not see through Haruno Sakura's mood?

"Sakura, I will definitely keep my promise. I said it, this is a promise for a lifetime."

Naruto hurriedly explained!

Failing to bring back his best friend had already left Uzumaki Naruto feeling very dejected, but at this moment, he still had to pull himself together to comfort his teammate!

"That's enough, Naruto!" Haruno Sakura said, looking at the scenery outside the window!

"Sakura, this guy..." Nara Shikamaru attempted to help explain for Naruto.

"Always, I'm always saying it, I will never go back on my word, because that is my ninja way."

Naruto directly interrupted Shikamaru's explanation, revealing a long-lost smile as he said:

At Uzumaki Naruto's words, everyone, who had previously worn heavy expressions, revealed smiles!】

"Sigh! Is that guy Naruto too considerate of others?"

"Exactly! He's the one who needs comfort the most right now! Yet he has to suppress the sadness in his heart to comfort others instead!"

"That's right, failing to bring back Uchiha Sasuke, he should be the unhappiest person of all! He even suffered heavy injuries for it!"

"Sigh! Let's keep watching the video! Perhaps it's because of this personality that he was able to save the ninja world later on!"

【In the video, Jiraiya appeared again, telling Naruto about the Akatsuki. Having experienced Orochimaru's defection, he didn't want Naruto to repeat his old path, even threatening not to guide Naruto's training!

"If you want to go after Sasuke, forget what I just said about training. I will have the Anbu watch you, and depending on the situation, I might even forbid you from leaving Konoha."

Jiraiya's words gave Naruto a start!

"You aren't just an ordinary brat. You are the Nine-Tails Demon Fox that the Akatsuki is targeting. Speaking of the matter, if you don't listen to me and act recklessly, this is all I can do."

Jiraiya, looking serious, continued:

"One day, you will have to face enemies even more troublesome than Orochimaru. You should give up on Sasuke. You will have to face such a fate sooner or later! Don't be in pain anymore, forget it, abandon all of this! It's not just about ninjutsu and power; a ninja needs to cultivate the eye to make correct judgments and choices! If you want to live as a ninja, you have to be smarter. If you're an idiot, life in reality will be very difficult!"

Jiraiya said a lot in one breath, perhaps to convince Naruto, or perhaps to convince himself!

"I understand!" Naruto listened quietly to Jiraiya's words: "If being smart means all that, then let me be an idiot for the rest of my life!"

Naruto said with a serious face:

"I can come up with even more powerful ninjutsu on my own! I will definitely save Sasuke! And then, and then, I'm going to take down the Akatsuki organization!"

The more Naruto spoke, the more excited he became!

Jiraiya looked at Naruto and remained silent for a long time.

"Someone like you, even if you do it alone, would only be able to come up with some boring perverted ninjutsu anyway."

Jiraiya stood up and continued:

"You're a bit of an idiot, but if you're a big idiot, maybe you can accomplish something. Prepare yourself after you get out of the hospital! You big idiot!"

At this point, the light of the video slowly dimmed... ===== CHAPTER 100 =====
