Chapter 133
Fūka Setsu stared blankly at Naruto and Sakyo's faces. Even now she couldn't accept this fact.
All along, Fūka Natsunami had been like an invincible war god in Fūka Setsu's mind.
But… but…
In front of Naruto and Sakyo, Fūka Natsunami was like a fly—easily crushed with a casual slap. And he really was dead.
Fūka Setsu's foggy head now felt an unreal sensation.
And it was extremely unreal!
It was as if Fūka Setsu had fallen into a desperate situation and encountered an unimaginable enemy.
This enemy had once been her nightmare, making her fear for so long.
And the result?
Suddenly one day, this invincible enemy was slapped to death by two gods descending from the sky.
All the gloom and difficulties vanished in an instant. This kind of joy left Fūka Setsu at a complete loss.
It felt like she, Naruto, and Sakyo weren't even living in the same world.
In short… Fūka Setsu's mood right now was extremely complicated.
Only when all the Konoha people had set off on their return journey, and the three doctors finally found Fūka Setsu, did she snap out of it and realize she hadn't even thanked them yet…
But what was the point of thanking them?
They would just politely accept and forget about it…
So…
Better to settle down in the Land of Snow first, then make a special trip to Konoha.
Otherwise, it would seem too impolite.
…
"System, you haven't issued a mission for hours—are you pigeon-ing me?"
"Ding~ The system mission will be issued after the host returns to Konoha. Please return to Konoha."
"Oh? So I'm officially a Konoha person now? If I defect in the future, does that mean no more missions?"
"Ding~ No."
On the ship returning to Konoha, Naruto tossed and turned, unable to sleep, so he started chatting idly with the system.
Outside the room, there was a sudden noise. Naruto, bored out of his mind, jumped out of bed and pushed open the door.
The noise came from another room—occupied by only one person, who was also injured.
Peeking through the crack, Naruto saw a pink-haired little loli looking around in confusion.
Tsurugi Fubuki's head was already bandaged, but it still hurt badly. After all, she had head-butted the ground—surviving without instant death already proved her body was strong.
Whoosh~
A cold wind blew. Tsurugi Fubuki, who had just sat up, shivered and honestly lay back under the warm blankets.
She remembered she had been chasing someone, then her head suddenly went dark and she remembered nothing.
When she woke up, she saw the ground rushing toward her. Before she could react, her head slammed into the earth and she passed out.
The people here had bandaged her wound and hadn't restricted her movements.
They didn't seem like bad people… mm… that was Tsurugi Fubuki's analysis.
Creak~
The door was pushed open. Tsurugi Fubuki quickly looked that way and saw a yellow-haired kid walk in.
Naruto said to Tsurugi Fubuki: "You're awake?"
Tsurugi Fubuki frowned and questioned: "Where is this? Who are you?"
Seeing the other party's attitude was so "good," Naruto couldn't help laughing: "This is a ship heading to the Land of Fire. My name is Uzumaki Naruto."
"Oh, forgot to tell you one thing."
"Fūka Natsunami is dead. Your two teammates are dead. All the Snow Ninjas are dead. Only you're left. Mm, that's it."
Tsurugi Fubuki stared blankly at Naruto, then cried out in shock: "What??! Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!!"
Her voice was loud enough to draw everyone's attention.
In no time, many people rushed in from outside.
Sakura, Ino, Little Black—the three of them had been together since boarding the ship. Their interactions looked very harmonious.
It seemed Little Black had already become Sakura and Ino's good bestie.
Kakashi also appeared wearing his Konoha ANBU mask. Sakyo arrived last.
It wasn't that Sakyo was slow—she needed to take some necessary precautions before coming out.
Naruto grinned at Tsurugi Fubuki: "What I said is true. I have no reason to lie to you."
"We're from Konoha, and I'm Konoha's third-generation ultimate weapon plus jinchūriki plus the most handsome man in the village."
"So do you think your so-called Snow Ninja Village could stand against Konoha?"
Tsurugi Fubuki saw so many people suddenly appear, and Naruto's words seemed very convincing.
She did have great confidence in the Snow Ninjas, but the other side was the world-famous strongest ninja village!
"Then… where are you taking me?"
Tsurugi Fubuki couldn't help asking.
Naruto gave a cruel smile: "Of course to Konoha prison. The single guys there haven't seen a girl in years."
Tsurugi Fubuki paled instantly and fell into despair: "Damn Konoha dogs! I won't let you succeed!"
With that, Tsurugi Fubuki slammed her head toward the wall…
Naruto reacted fast and grabbed her, saying: "Don't panic. I was just teasing you—joking around. Did you have to react so strongly?"
Sakyo, Sakura, Ino, Little Black: "…"
Kakashi sighed helplessly and said to Naruto: "Leave this to me."
If Naruto kept messing around, Tsurugi Fubuki might really feel humiliated and kill herself.
Naruto had played enough and wasn't that extreme. After glancing at the still-shocked Tsurugi Fubuki, he stepped aside for Kakashi.
Kakashi, wearing the Konoha ANBU mask, looked very intimidating—much more so than this unserious guy Naruto.
After Naruto stood still, he felt something touch his waist, then two fingers gently pinched a piece of flesh…
Wait!
Naruto's eyes widened. He thought: It couldn't be…
"Hiss~"
Naruto's whole body tensed instantly. He didn't dare make too much noise.
He looked at the calm Sakyo and her hand that had just withdrawn, whispering: "Little Sakyo-chan, there's still one thing you haven't agreed to yet! Don't be so arrogant!"
Sakyo calmly glanced at Naruto and said: "Hmph! Who told you to flirt with other girls right in front of me?"
Naruto: "Little Sakyo-chan, I was wrong… I'll never flirt with other girls in front of you again."
Sakyo, hearing Naruto admit fault, instantly felt much better—though something still felt off.
Naruto held back laughter while looking at the satisfied Sakyo, thinking inwardly: Hahaha, not flirting in front of you means I can flirt behind your back~
