Chapter 147 - 13

Chapter 13: Ninja Cultivation? No, It's Urinating AnywhereOn this dry dirt road, where the sun was blazing and it hadn't rained for days, this puddle of water looked abrupt and eerie. The water's surface was calm and motionless, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, appearing like a scar on the road.Kakashi's pace didn't stop, his gaze still fixed on the pages of his book, as if he hadn't seen the abnormality at his feet at all.Sasuke and Sakura didn't pay it any mind either.For Genin who had just graduated, their observation skills were still at the level of "looking for conspicuous targets." They lacked sufficient sensitivity for such subtle incongruities in the environment.Just as everyone was about to step over that puddle of water..."Stop."Naruto suddenly stood still.The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unquestionable sense of command.Sasuke and Sakura subconsciously stopped in their tracks, looking at him in confusion."What's wrong?" Sakura asked.Naruto didn't answer. He clutched his stomach, and a pained expression suddenly appeared on his originally lazy face, his features scrunching up."I can't take it..."Naruto bent over, letting out an exaggerated groan."I drank too much soup at Ichiraku Ramen earlier. I feel like my bladder is going to explode."The entire area went silent.The expression on Sasuke's face froze instantly, and that look of seeing trash was cast over again."Idiot."Sakura covered her face in a breakdown: "Naruto! Are you an elementary school student? Why didn't you go to the bathroom before leaving?!""When nature calls, not even the King of Heaven can stop it."Naruto straightened his back, his gaze scanning the surroundings before finally settling on the puddle at his feet."Right here."As he spoke, he reached out to undo his waistband.The movement was smooth and natural, without the slightest hint of shame."Hey!!" Sakura screamed, her face turning red as a tomato as she quickly turned her back, "Are you a pervert?! Right here?! In front of us?!"Sasuke also backed away two steps in disgust, turning his head aside.Even Kakashi in front couldn't help but lower his book a little, his dead-fish eye filled with speechlessness. What kind of nonsense was this kid up to now?Only Naruto remained completely composed.He walked up to the puddle, legs apart, striking an extremely standard standing pose.His fingers rested on the zipper.Slowly pulling it down.Zzzzip—The sound of the metal zipper sliding was exceptionally piercing in the quiet afternoon.Beneath the puddle.The Demon Brothers of the Hidden Mist, Meitōand Gotō, were currently holding their breath, lurking within the disguise of the Hiding in Water Technique.As rogue Chunin from the Hidden Mist Village, they possessed extremely high professional discipline.They could endure hunger, endure cold, and endure long periods of lurking without moving.As long as they could complete the mission, even if they had to lie in a latrine for three days and three nights, they would never frown.But.Looking at the massive shadow above their heads.Hearing that piercing zipper sound.Watching that... weapon of mass destruction that was about to be whipped out.The mental state of the two collapsed.What was the situation?On such a sunny day, why did this kid have to pick this exact spot?Could this be the legendary "calamity from the heavens"?If they rushed out now, their concealment would be exposed, and the mission might fail.But if they didn't rush out...The image of being drenched to the core by a stream of scalding liquid simultaneously surfaced in both their minds.That was an absolute disgrace that could never be washed away as assassins!That was a dark history that would be nailed to the Ninja World's pillar of shame and laughed at for ten thousand years!Slight ripples began to appear on the water's surface.That was the visualization of the intense struggle within the two's hearts.At this critical moment.Naruto's movements stopped.He didn't actually pull out anything that shouldn't be seen.Lowering his head, his gaze stared straight at the puddle, his lips slowly curling into an extremely wicked arc."I say."Naruto's voice wasn't loud, but it had a penetrating quality, clearly drilling into the ears of the two underwater."On such a sunny day, it's one thing for there to be water on the ground.""But why does it still reek of... the pathetic stench of assassins?"Boom!The hearts of the two underwater suddenly constricted.Exposed?!How was that possible! Their disguise was something even a Jonin might not notice immediately!Naruto crouched down, extending a finger to gently stir the murky puddle."Or rather..."He brought his face close to the water's surface, those azure eyes full of mockery, as if looking at two rats trapped in a cage."Do you Hidden Mist Ninjas all like to hide in other people's piss?""This special fetish is truly... eye-opening."[Ding! Sharp Critique successful!][Detected that the host has dealt double mental and physiological blows to the lurkers.][Demon Brothers' Defense-Break Index: Five Stars.][Psychological Shadow Area: Three Bedrooms and a Living Room.][Rewards have arrived: Water Release NinjutsuResistance +1, Title 'Gold Miner' (Perception of invisible units +50% when equipped).]The water's surface exploded.That wasn't an adjective.It literally exploded.Splash!Two dark figures, like startled stray dogs, accompanied by splashing muddy water, scrambled out from underground in a pathetic state.Meitō and Gotō landed on the ground, soaked through, their faces behind the gas masks turning the color of pig liver.They held poisoned chains in their hands, their chests heaving violently—not from exhaustion, but from rage.Humiliation.Naked humiliation!They, the dignified Hidden Mist Chunin, the fearsome Demon Brothers, were actually forced out by a Konoha brat using such a method!Those few sentences just now were simply more hurtful than explosive tags."Bastard brat!!"Meitō roared, his voice cracking from anger."I'm going to tear you to shreds!!"Sasuke and Sakura were startled by this sudden turn of events."Enemies?!"Sasuke reacted the fastest, instantly dropping his backpack, a shuriken sliding into his palm as he stood in front of Tazuna.Sakura, on the other hand, had a blank look on her face.There were really people?In the water?If Naruto had really peed just now...Sakura shuddered, a trace of inexplicable awe appearing in her eyes as she looked at Naruto.Is this guy a devil?Kakashi closed his book and sighed.He had originally wanted to see how long these two brats could hold out, but he didn't expect them to be "talked" out directly by Naruto.This way of breaking an ambush...Was truly unique.In the center of the field.Naruto unhurriedly zipped up his pants and patted the non-existent dust off his clothes.Facing two enraged assassins, he didn't even blink."Getting impatient?"Naruto looked at the two exasperated Ninjas, a look on his face that said, "I just love seeing how you can't stand me but can't get rid of me.""Seems like I hit the mark.""As a senior, let me give you some advice. Next time before you ambush someone, remember to take a bath first. That rotten stench from soaking in the sewers all year round could smoke a fly to death from two miles away.""Die!!!"Gotō could no longer endure this mental torture.He swung his arm.That sharp chain connected to a claw, carrying a sickening fishy wind, whistled as it coiled toward Naruto's neck.This strike was delivered in fury and was extremely fast.The air was torn apart, letting out a sharp whistling sound.Sasuke's pupils constricted.So fast!If it were him, he would have to activate the Sharingan to barely see the trajectory."Naruto! Get out of the way!"Sakura screamed.
