Chapter 157: The Big Sister's Behavior
"Samehada: Chakra Devouring!"
Sasuke approached with quick steps, and Samehada, in his hand, swelled, devouring Pakura's already limited body chakra. She had fought with all her might to rescue her comrades and was exhausted; drained by Samehada, she collapsed.
Sasuke quickly embraced her by the waist. "Pakura, listen to my cunning... no, listen to my explanation."
"I don't believe you," she replied, looking at him as if he were a pervert. She felt the warmth of his hand on her back and realized their skins were pressed together. Ashamed and angry, she twisted and struggled, but she was too weak. Seeing that she had no strength, he hugged her again so she wouldn't fall.
"Pakura, it's not what you think," he insisted.
"Seeing is believing. I've seen it clearly. What else can you complain about?" she retorted.
"No matter how impatient I am, I wouldn't do something like that on the battlefield."
"Faced with such beauty, who knows if you get obsessed," she said, looking at the Yuki jonin with a hint of jealousy.
"Sister, you really misunderstood me," the Yuki intervened, fearing getting caught in a lovers' quarrel.
"Who's your sister?" Pakura snapped, jealous.
At that moment, Kurama Kon finally caught up to them. She saw Sasuke embracing the two "women" and, though a little disappointed, was not surprised.
'It's over,' Sasuke thought, feeling like the sky was falling. Quickly, he set the two down and re-dressed the Yuki. He knew that the more he explained, the harder it would be.
"Kon, this Yuki is a captured Kirigakure jonin. Please interrogate her for me. Be very detailed, especially about how I captured her. Record everything."
"Understood, Brother Sasuke. You can continue with your work," Kon replied with disarming kindness and sensibility. Sasuke, mistakenly thinking she believed in his innocence, sealed the two prisoners' chakra and left.
As soon as he left, Pakura scoffed at Kon: "The person you secretly love is flirting with others. Don't you feel like you've trusted the wrong person?"
"What's wrong?" Kon replied with the grace of a future matriarch. "All nobles have multiple wives. Sasuke-sama is very powerful, isn't it normal for him to have several women? Besides," she added with a sweet but sharp smile, "you two are just two passers-by from other villages. You don't even have the qualifications to marry him as concubines. What should I worry about?"
Pakura was speechless, blushing as she unconsciously remembered the touch of Sasuke's hands on her back.
The Yuki, hearing the conversation, tried to ingratiate himself. "Sister..."
"Who are you calling sister?" Kon interrupted him, her kindness fading. "Sasuke-sama said to interrogate you carefully. You wouldn't want the interrogation squad to torture you, would you?" she threatened him, before smiling again. "Now, have you thought about how to answer my questions?"
The Yuki, realizing his precarious situation, became completely docile.
Meanwhile, Sasuke flew on Shirotaka towards the coastal fortress. Seeing that it was too easy to defend, he had to turn back. On the way, he encountered some escaped Mist ninjas.
"I got it!" his eyes lit up with a new idea. He created a large number of shadow clones, transformed them into Mist ninjas, with one of them disguised as Commander Kaguya Baizhan. He handed them a sealing scroll full of sawdust and steel dust, and ordered his fake army to "flee" towards the coastal fortress, preparing his next big deception.
