Chapter 114 Dinner Party (Part 2)
"Well done!!!"
"Wuhu!!!"
"Oh ho ho!!!"
The instant Naruto stepped forward, Kurama erupted in a thunderous cheer within the mental space.
The fox was so excited that it suddenly stood up and jumped around a few times, throwing Pikachu, who was sleeping on its tail, away.
"Naruto!"
Kurama's clamor drew Naruto's attention away from Mikoto's lips and into his mental space.
Naruto turned around: "What's wrong?"
Although he was kissing Mikoto outside, it didn't stop him from talking in his mental space.
"I remember that the ancestral graves of the Uchiha clan are located near the Land of Lightning."
Kurama chuckled sinisterly, "Why don't you summon Madara Uchiha's mother using Edo Tensei? She might have been a great beauty too!"
"Alright, what's the big deal..."
Hearing Kurama's words, even Naruto, with his low moral standards, was speechless.
"I really like Mikoto-nee, don't think of me as something so despicable..."
"Hmph, wasn't I influenced by you? Do you think you're any cleaner than that?"
Kurama snorted coldly: "Now that you're all grown up and about to succeed as Raikage, you're starting to care about your reputation? It's not like you were slaughtering Kusagakure anymore!"
Naruto glanced at it: "How about I summon Madara using Edo Tensei so you can get your revenge in person?"
"Do you really think I'm afraid of him?"
Kurama immediately panicked: "If it weren't for the Sharingan, what would he be? You try blocking his genjutsu for me, and see who ends up dying!"
Naruto ignored it, exited the mental space, and focused on his business.
Perhaps because she had let go of her psychological burden, Mikoto was much more proactive than he had expected.
She wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck, pressing her delicate body tightly against him, as if she wanted to merge into his body.
For a long time, the lips are divided.
Mikoto, in her youthful form, had a captivating blush on her face, and her beautiful eyes seemed to shimmer with moisture.
Their eyes met, and she leaned in to give Naruto a light kiss on the cheek.
Then, as if she had thought of something, she lowered her head, seemingly with sorrow or shame, and rested her head on Naruto's shoulder.
"I'm such a bad woman..."
"Ultimately, it's just a slight age difference, what's wrong with that?"
Naruto wrapped his arms around her slender waist and comforted her softly.
"That's true..."
Mikoto looked at Naruto with a wistful expression: "I'm definitely not the first, right?"
Naruto asked innocently, "What, the first one?"
Mikoto looked at him with a smile, but that smile had a dangerous undertone.
"Don't play dumb with me. After all, I'm in my thirties."
"My sister will always be eighteen in my eyes."
Mikoto glanced at Naruto, her eyes slightly reproachful, and stopped dwelling on the matter.
In reality, she was just asking questions with the answers in mind. If Naruto were truly devoted to her, she would feel that she was holding him back.
As for Naruto's womanizing ways, Mikoto doesn't know how to comment.
I was definitely unhappy, but I didn't really mind it.
She has always been gentle and considerate, and it's hard to say whether her marriage to Fugaku was partly arranged by the clan.
Otherwise, given the age and appearance difference between them, as well as Fugaku's unyielding and taciturn personality, the possibility of the two being together is indeed not high.
This can be seen from Itachi and Sasuke; the two brothers are more like Mikoto in both looks and personality.
She appears aloof and reserved, but has a gentle and kind personality, and deeply values relationships.
Without strong support, one is likely to be forced to accept one's fate passively.
For example, Naruto's flirting with Mikoto was also based on his understanding of Mikoto's gentle and considerate personality.
First, she used the power of the Inari God to pull her out of her grief over losing her husband, and occasionally she would go out as a young girl to relax.
Another barrage of sweet words and repeated tests unsettled her...
What Naruto needs to do now is to press his advantage.
This is precisely the moment when Mikoto's defenses have just been breached, and she is in complete disarray.
Once she gets over this shock and calms down, she might revert to her previous hesitant and indecisive mindset.
Thinking of this, Naruto picked up Mikoto in his arms and headed straight for the Ferris wheel.
The Ferris wheel slowly rotated, carrying the two of them high into the sky.
If they glanced outside at that moment, they could take in most of Thunder City.
However, neither of them had that intention...
Mikoto, like a hunting cat, kept teasing Naruto's lips.
By the time the Ferris wheel had completed a full rotation, the two people were no longer in the cabin.
Hot spring inn…
The dress created by Yin-Yang Release was carelessly thrown on the ground, and Mikoto, who had returned to her original form, had her long hair loose, her eyes sparkling with captivating charm.
Under the holy light, her slender figure was curvaceous and her skin was delicate and smooth.
Her long, slender, snow-white legs were crossed, and her delicate, tender feet gleamed with a shimmering luster.
Amidst the misty air, two figures intertwined, only their rapid breathing and the splashing of water whispering a secret…
…………
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed, and Naruto returned to Konoha.
"Whoa—Naruto-sama, where did you go?!"
As soon as it appeared, Karin transformed into a red-haired teddy bear, howling as she charged headfirst at him.
"I thought you weren't planning on coming back."
Sasuke snorted coldly. Naruto had been gone for more than a week, and even someone as calm as him was getting restless.
Both he and Karin have rather complicated identities, so it's hard to guarantee that Konoha won't secretly take action against them.
Sasuke wasn't afraid, but now was not the time for conflict.
Since Naruto wasn't around, he couldn't just wander around aimlessly and could only stroll around the area around the hotel.
"Sorry, Sass..."
Naruto smiled gently at Sasuke.
Sasuke was slightly taken aback. For some reason, he felt that Naruto's smile looked somewhat...kind?
It feels a little strange, but it doesn't seem to make any sense, since Naruto was his master after all.
After thinking for a moment, he gave a soft hum.
"He's probably out fooling around with some lovesick woman again, isn't he?"
A woman obsessed with a man…
Naruto fell silent.
Is Mikoto a fangirl?
He's not a fangirl; Mikoto is the most serene woman he's ever met.
But on the other hand, how should I put it?
She is proactive, positive, and compliant, but not promiscuous.
The key is that it's also very moisturizing...
His gentle and tender nature was no joke; he didn't even need to use the Inari deity.
Is it really appropriate to recall these things in front of Sasuke?
"I really want to see this guy's reaction when he finds out the truth..."
Within the spiritual space, the Nine-Tailed Fox's smile gradually became increasingly wicked.
Naruto whispered a warning: "Don't say anything out of the ordinary..."
Nine-Tailed Fox chuckled: "Don't worry, I'd like to enjoy a few more days of fun."
Hearing Kurama's words, Naruto finally felt relieved and clapped his hands with a smile.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting so long. As compensation, how about I treat you to barbecue?"
Bang!
The door was suddenly opened.
Temari, carrying an iron fan on her back and pressing one hand against the door, lowered her head slightly, her gaze piercing through her messy bangs and striking Naruto.
"Long time no see, Temari!"
"It hasn't been long, just over a week."
Temari scoffed, "Although that guy disappeared after his date, it's no big deal. He's not exactly a very important person..."
Kankuro followed weakly behind her.
If they're not that important, why did they rush over so eagerly after hearing Karin's commotion...?
Their rooms weren't far apart, and since they were all ninjas, they could notice even the slightest movement.
So as soon as Karin called out Naruto's name, Temari caught the key word, grabbed her iron fan, and rushed over.
"Want to have a meal together?"
Naruto asked with a smile.
"A get-together is great!"
Before Temari could say anything, Kankuro quickly stepped in with a smile to smooth things over.
He can't afford to offend either of these two!
"Would you like some barbecue?"
Gaara also came over, his eyes filled with anticipation: "I like grilled beef tongue."
"I will eat!" Naruto nodded.
Beef tongue is a great food. Although it has a relatively small customer base, it tastes and feels delicious.
Seeing that Gaara was trying to smooth things over, Temari, though annoyed, managed to suppress her anger.
Actually, she was overthinking it. Gaara simply liked eating grilled beef tongue.
"Hey, are you guys having a get-together? How about I come along?"
Deidara peeked out from the doorway and said with a grin.
"What's it to you?"
Karin pouted: "Free food and drinks?"
"After all, we're all allies, aren't we?"
Deidara shrugged and grinned, "Besides, we're all here to cause trouble for Konoha. If you have to say, our relationship is closer than Sunagakure's, right? Hmm!"
This is a lie!
He was unwilling to be captivated by Sasuke's mere glance, so he came here specifically to extract information!
Deidara had made up his mind that once he got back this time, he would get a mechanical eye that could break through eye techniques and wear it. He was determined to avenge himself when he saw Sasuke again!
"Then let's do it together."
Naruto smirked. He was just thinking about how to win Deidara over, and now Deidara had delivered himself right to his doorstep.
"Me too! Me too!"
Seeing this, Heitu also jumped out.
"Then let's just invite Kimimaro and the others as well."
Naruto turned his head towards Tayuya, who was somewhat flattered and hurried off to find Kimimaro.
Soon, a group of people gathered at BBQ Q.
The Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Sand Village, the Hidden Stone Village, the Sound Village, plus the Ino-Shika-Cho trio from Konoha…
Naruto was the one who invited Ino, Shika, and Cho. Otherwise, given Ino's personality, she would have made a huge scene if she found out that she hadn't been invited to the gathering.
"Hey...the strongest monsters in this Chunin Exams are all here."
Shikamaru's lips twitched when he saw Gaara and the others.
The two people who posed the greatest threat to him back then, besides Gaara and Kimimaro, are both here.
"Don't be nervous, we're all friends."
Naruto patted Shikamaru on the shoulder and said cheerfully.
"Can I eat as much as I want?"
Choji wiped his drool and looked at Naruto expectantly.
"I can eat a lot! My appetite has increased so much compared to before! Is this really okay?"
"The person before you is the shogun of the Land of Lightning and the prince of the Land of Snow. Even if you stuff a pig into his stomach, it wouldn't make a difference."
Sasuke, while cooking the grilled meat, spoke calmly.
"Then you'll have to eat more later."
Shikamaru couldn't help but recall the time when the group of them had a barbecue by the river, and smiled knowingly: "This is the first time a noble general has invited me to dinner."
"Wait a minute, isn't this something?"
On the other side of the aisle, Ino slammed her hand on the table and stood up.
"Why are the boys at one table and the girls at another? Shouldn't I be sitting next to Naruto?"
Karin: "Tch..."
Temari: "Heh..."
Tayuya: "Tch..."
"What kind of reaction is this?"
Ino's face darkened. It was easy to tell from the three people's reactions that they were all rivals who had feelings for Naruto.
Hei Tu looked at the girls' reactions with a curious expression, as if he had stumbled upon some interesting gossip.
"So, you all like that guy, right?"
"Is there a problem? Isn't it normal for outstanding men to be popular?"
Karin glanced at Kurotsuchi, then pointed to the next table: "Hey, what about you? You three-mouthed girl with the same hairstyle as this woman?"
"Same hairstyle..."
Ino's face darkened again.
She truly never imagined that one day she would have the same hairstyle as a man!
"You mean Deidara, senior brother?"
Hei Tu tilted his head and thought for a moment, then laughed and waved his hand.
"I guess I should just forget about it. That guy's character is completely unreliable. I'd be grateful he didn't betray the village."
"Hey, you bastard, Kurotsuchi!"
At the next table, Deidara heard this and stretched his neck and shouted.
"A woman like you, lacking any femininity, shouldn't be criticizing me! Hmm!"
See?
Hei Tu shrugged, and the girls couldn't help but laugh.
The tense atmosphere that had been somewhat aroused by the rivalry between them immediately dissipated.
"Your Naruto-sama is quite good, it's just a pity he's too much of a womanizer, otherwise he would be the perfect man."
"Who can argue with that..."
Ino and Karin both sighed.
Temari sneered, "How about we exchange information? Has anyone here gone on a date with that guy?"
"I!"
Ino raised her hand without hesitation.
Karin shrugged: "I'm with the adults every day."
Seeing the three of them looking at her, Tayuya silently raised her hand as well.
"Great, Naruto!"
Temari's face darkened, and she turned to look at the table next to her.
"You...don't you have anything to explain?"
"Explain what?"
Naruto lazily turned his head to the side: "Is any of you my girlfriend?"
"you!"
Temari paused, gripping the bamboo chopsticks tightly in her hand.
"What did you say? I really misjudged you! Naruto!"
Ino, looking indignant, turned to the others and said, "What's so great about an irresponsible scumbag like that? Girls, let's go! Let him go date himself!"
As she spoke, she made a move to get up.
After getting up, he looked around and found that the others were still sitting in their original seats, looking at him with disdain.
Ino chuckled and returned to her seat.
"They're not stupid..."
Seeing this, the boys at the next table looked at each other in bewilderment.
Kankuro silently gave Naruto a thumbs up.
His eyes gleamed with undisguised admiration: "How did you do that?"
"Handsome, witty, eloquent, capable, and gentle—you have to have at least one of these qualities, right?"
Naruto shrugged slightly: "I just have all of them..."
"shameless!"
At the next table, Temari let out a cold snort.
Naruto said casually, "That person wasn't like this on our previous date..."
Temari remained silent.
Kimimaro, on the other hand, seemed thoughtful: "Is what you're saying even useful to men?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Deidara suddenly shifted his position to the side, looking at him with a terrified expression.
Seemingly realizing that his words were inappropriate, Kimimaro quickly explained.
"The body is female, but the soul is male."
"Sasuke, let's switch seats. You and this guy are quite a good match, hmm!"
"Sharingan!"
