Inside the room,
"Ow! What did you kick me for, Sasuke…?"
Naruto turned around, rubbing his backside and glaring at Sasuke, complaining angrily.
He just wanted to live with his goddess to foster their relationship. What was wrong with that?
"What do you think?"
Sasuke snorted disdainfully, his face expressionless, and looked elsewhere.
A triple room?
So that's it… "Hmph, I can't be bothered with you…"
Naruto's eyes lit up as he also saw the room's layout. He instantly forgot Sasuke's kick and was about to open the door to welcome Sakura.
Even if he couldn't be alone with Sakura, living together was still an option… In any case, he couldn't live with this guy, Sasuke!
"If you don't want Sakura to get hurt, I suggest you behave yourself…"
Just as Naruto touched the doorknob, Sasuke's voice calmly sounded behind him.
This made Naruto freeze, his body stiffening in place… "What do you mean by that?"
Turning his head, Naruto looked at Sasuke with a bewildered and confused expression.
"That power Orochimaru gave us… Naruto, you must have seen him in your consciousness space!
Then you should know that our bodies are in a state where they could erupt at any moment.
Although we've both successfully suppressed his will, this is definitely not the end, but the beginning…"
Sasuke stared at Naruto, whose face was growing paler, and said seriously, without much further explanation.
Within the Cursed Mark, there was an independent consciousness of Orochimaru!
He could spy on the outside world through Anko, and naturally, he could monitor him and Naruto now… So, it was best to be careful and cautious until Kakashi sealed the Cursed Mark.
Of course… these were all just excuses!
Even if it was a triple room, he would not allow Sakura to come in and share it.
"Thump, thump, thump…"
Just as Naruto's face was solemn and his expression fluctuated, a crisp knock on the door instantly jolted him awake.
"Tch, so what?
Anyway, I would never hurt Sakura…"
Naruto's trembling body suddenly recovered, and he snorted coldly, turning to open the door.
"Shikamaru? Choji? Why are you two here? Where are Sakura and Iruka-sensei?"
The next moment, Naruto, who had been prepared, looked at the newcomers with a stunned expression.
This also made Sasuke, who was about to continue stopping him, give up… "Well, it's a hassle… but knowing you guys arrived, Choji and I naturally had to come and see."
Shikamaru rubbed his head, as unmotivated as ever, and Choji beside him nodded in agreement.
Sasuke had given them their scrolls, so how could they not come and say hello!
"Oh, by the way, Ino also came… but seeing Sakura arranged by Iruka-sensei into another room, she went to stay with her too."
Choji added immediately, making Naruto instantly pull a long face.
"Nani?? How could they abandon their teammates…"
Seeing that it was hopeless, Naruto could only wail tragically and indignantly.
Just a little bit!
Then his gaze shifted to Sasuke, blaming this guy… "Gaga… now there are three of them!
Hinata also went to stay with Sakura and Ino…"
Just as Sasuke was about to speak, Kiba's voice sounded at the door.
Immediately after, he and Shino appeared before everyone… "Kiba, why would you be so kind as to come and see us?"
Seeing the guy who liked to steal his thunder appear, Naruto immediately pointed at Kiba and questioned him unhappily.
"Hmph, if it weren't for Sasuke's sake, I wouldn't have come…"
Kiba retorted impolitely, turning his head and entering the room, looking directly at Sasuke.
"Sasuke, I came to share some information with you guys.
About a very dangerous guy…"
Kiba spoke gravely to the unperturbed Sasuke, and couldn't help but shiver at the thought of that figure.
That guy was too dangerous… "There's even someone who scares you?
That's rare…"
Shikamaru said, surprised and astonished, and immediately motioned for the others to come in and close the door to prevent the information from leaking.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're talking about the Sand Village ninja, right…"
After Shikamaru closed the door, Sasuke's eyes flashed, and he stated the answer in advance.
Instantly, this made Kiba, who was about to speak, and Shino, who was beside him, both change their expressions drastically… "You encountered them??"
Kiba's breathing hitched as he asked in a panic, but then immediately denied it.
The three Sand ninjas were the first to arrive at the tower, so how could Sasuke have encountered them??
"I encountered them before… In any case, besides me and Naruto.
If any of you encounter him, surrender immediately, without the slightest hesitation!"
Sasuke quickly advised, to prevent the butterfly effect from causing anyone to confront Gaara.
The current Gaara, even he or Naruto could only force out Shukaku and involve Konoha… they couldn't directly defeat Gaara!!
But the others didn't think so, and their gazes turned to Naruto.
Could this guy's strength compare to Sasuke's??
"Ah ha ha ha… It seems you understand me best, Sasuke… Since you acknowledge me so much, I won't hold what happened before against you!"
Naruto, who was being watched by everyone, immediately puffed out his chest and laughed smugly, causing the others to cast him suspicious glances.
Especially Kiba!!
"Naruto?
Are you kidding me?? He can't even beat me, and he's going to fight that guy!
Forget it, I've already informed you guys… Shino, let's go…"
Kiba, feeling underestimated, his face turning cold, said indignantly and walked out the door without looking back.
Shino adjusted his sunglasses, gave Naruto a deep look, and then followed him out of the room… [Is it because of that?
The power Sasuke unleashed earlier!!]
Shikamaru's intelligent eyes stared at the triumphant Naruto, and suddenly a flash of inspiration gave him a guess.
For Sasuke to have such a high opinion of Naruto, it could only be that he was acknowledged in terms of strength!
But, who cares… Anyway, if they encounter him later, they'll just surrender. If the sky falls, Sasuke and Naruto will hold it up… At the same time,
Over with the three girls,
"Hinata, can you do me a favor?
Help me cut my long hair…"
Sakura looked at Hinata's cute short hair, finally gritting her teeth with determination in her eyes.
She had been caught by the Sound Ninja because of her long hair before, and she didn't want that experience to happen again… "C-cut my hair??"
Hinata's movements paused at the words, and she looked at Sakura strangely, not understanding why.
Why would she suddenly think of this??
"Sakura, are you alright… Sasuke-kun likes girls with long hair.
Are you going to withdraw from competing with me for Sasuke??"
Ino, beside her, widened her beautiful eyes and looked at Sakura in disbelief, questioning her.
Their long hair was grown for Sasuke… "Don't dream, Ino… I can't possibly give up on Sasuke-kun!!
It's just that now, I need to become stronger…"
Sakura instantly flared up like a cornered cat, yelling furiously, showing no sign of backing down.
Withdraw from the competition??
What a joke… Cutting her hair was a sign of her resolve to become stronger!
Even if she couldn't catch up to Sasuke and Naruto, she wanted to become strong and surpass all other female ninja of her generation, standing out alone… She hadn't forgotten what kind of girl Sasuke-kun truly liked!
Long hair??
Heh heh… Let Ino immerse herself in that childish and beautiful fantasy…
