Chapter 83: Moegi's Harem Jutsu
Even with his rich life experience, Akiyama Makoto's breath hitched for a moment upon seeing this scene.
What are they planning? They haven't been drinking, have they?
Fortunately, Moegi quickly answered his question.
"Since you treated me, Hanabi, and the big sisters to the hot spring, we've decided to repay you."
"So, watch closely..."
After she spoke, Moegi led the other girls in forming a hand seal in unison.
That familiar Ram seal made his eyelid twitch.
With a poof, the five girls vanished, replaced by five adult versions of themselves. Their tight yukatas could no longer conceal their voluptuous figures, and they had to rely on the transformation jutsu's mist to cover their vital parts.
Makoto stared blankly at the scene, as if petrified.
Moegi spoke triumphantly. "See? I told you. Even the most serious boy will be defeated when he sees this ninjutsu."
"Big Brother Makoto, have you witnessed the power of the Sexy Jutsu: Pretty Girl Combo?!"
Behind her, Ino and Sakura struck what they thought were alluring poses. Hinata herself was already blushing, looking as if she were about to faint. Luckily, Hanabi was beside her to support her. But even so, Hinata was still looking in his direction, as if trying to determine who he was more interested in by the wandering of his gaze.
But the next second, with another poof, he vanished in a puff of smoke.
The girls looked at each other, bewildered. Where did he go?
At the same time, waves of killing intent washed over them from behind. They subconsciously turned to look and immediately saw their respective mothers or grandmothers.
The girls, who had been so smug just a moment ago, instantly felt the fear of death. As their guardians raised their hands, Moegi, who had been the most arrogant, was the first to perform a dogeza. "I'm sorry, Grandma! I'll never do it again!"
The other girls subconsciously followed suit, but Ino was the first to realize that her mother and grandmother shouldn't be here. Just as she was about to point out the flaw, Makoto dispelled his clone and transformation jutsu.
Then, with five consecutive thumps, he rapped each of them on the head with a book.
Hanabi, smarting from the blow, wanted to fight back, but with a gentle twist of her arm, he had already flipped her upside down and into Hinata's arms. Hanabi looked completely dazed. What had just happened? Had she just been defeated by a non-ninja?
Seeing the girls crouching with their heads in their hands and pained expressions, Makoto finally spoke in a serious tone. "Whose idea was this, and who was the ringleader?"
A dejected Moegi pointed at herself.
"Who did you learn this move from?"
"I saw a blond-haired guy practicing it in a corner of the school, so I secretly learned it... But today was the first time I used it! Please don't be angry, Big Brother Makoto!"
The corner of his mouth twitched. She had learned it from Naruto? That made sense. At this point in time, Naruto and Konohamaru probably didn't know each other yet.
"Don't use this jutsu carelessly," he said sternly. "It doesn't work on people with strong willpower, and it will only tarnish your reputation."
"You don't want me to tell your parents what just happened, do you?"
The girls quickly begged him for mercy. Only then did he sigh. "Alright, I'll just pretend I didn't see anything. The matter is closed."
"Can you really pretend you didn't see anything?" Moegi muttered under her breath. As someone whose catchphrase was "Even adults have to hide from me," she obviously wasn't going to submit so easily.
Makoto glared at her. Moegi's eyes darted around, and an idea came to her. She said loudly, "Big Brother Makoto, the truth is you're not interested in what we sisters look like when we grow up, right?"
Several pairs of eyes turned to look at him in unison. Although they all still looked ashamed, the curiosity in their eyes was barely concealed. Was he truly strong-willed, or was he just not interested in them? They were very curious.
Makoto decided that tomorrow, he would go and buy a hundred sets of basic ninja practice questions for Moegi, give them to her grandmother, and have her supervise Moegi doing one set a day. But that was a matter for tomorrow.
Looking at Moegi's smug, "I've-won" smile, he decided he had to show a little of his true ability.
"That's right. I'm not interested in your transformed appearances," he said calmly.
The girls' hearts skipped a beat. Hinata's face even turned pale.
But his next words made the atmosphere in the room strange.
"That's just your own imagination of your future selves. I can be friends with the real you, right now. Why should I indulge in a fantasy of the future?"
"I will only remember you as you are now, in your truest form."
Moegi's mouth hung open, her brain overloaded. She couldn't understand how a person could say something so clever, to the point that Ino, Sakura, and Hinata all started to blush.
In the end, she decided to give him a thumbs-up. It was the first time she had ever admired someone so much.
"Big Brother Makoto, I think you should be in the movies. If you were the male lead, you wouldn't even need to memorize a script."
The moment she finished speaking, he grabbed her two large pigtails and ruffled her hair until she looked like a mess.
Moegi covered her eyes, pretended to cry, and fled the room. In reality, she was running to her grandmother's room to watch television.
With the main culprit gone, the strange atmosphere in the room became even stranger.
Hanabi, seeing that everyone was silent, chose to speak first. During her time in the hot spring, she had heard about Makoto from Ino and Sakura and understood that he had helped her and her sister reconcile, but she still didn't fully understand.
So, she said sincerely, "Hello, Big Brother... Makoto. I want to apologize to you. The last two times... no, three times I tried to attack you."
"I misunderstood and thought you were tricking my sister, that you were going to bully her... It seems I was too immature."
With Hanabi breaking the ice, the atmosphere in the room became much more normal.
Makoto had the girls sit down around the table. "You're even younger than Moegi, right?" he said calmly. "There's nothing wrong with being immature."
"But I..."
Before Hanabi could say more, he interrupted her. "No matter how hard you work, a ninja's body must first mature before their strength can truly explode, especially for a taijutsu user."
"Relax and grow slowly. If you can't handle it, your sister is there to help you. If you still can't handle it, then come find us."
"That's right, you still have us!" Ino put her arm around Hanabi's shoulder.
Sakura flexed a non-existent muscle. "We've been training hard with your sister recently. Don't underestimate the power of our friendship!"
"Besides, you have him. He's a hidden master."
Hearing this, a thought that had been nagging at Hanabi became unbearable. She stood up, bowed to him, and said, "I'd like to ask for a spar with you."
"Why? Because you're not convinced you lost before?"
Hanabi shook her head. "I want to experience your true strength, Big Brother Makoto. If you're not strong enough, then I will take my sister away from you, and the two of us will train together every day."
Hinata wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
The other girls looked at Makoto, waiting for his answer. But he looked at Hinata. "Hinata," he said, "how about you fight her in my place?"
