Chapter 344 Cunning
Chapter 344 Cunning
Naruto was completely dumbfounded. What on earth was this guy talking about? Did he really need to use such an excuse to try and cover it up?
"Naruto, is what he said true?"
On the other side, after hearing this unexpected answer, Zuo Yue was silent for a moment, her eyes flashing with complex emotions—first a sense of relief, then replaced by new doubts.
She turned her questioning gaze to Naruto, her voice tinged with a cautious probing.
At the same time, Sasuke gave Boruto a very subtle look—keep quiet.
There was no other way... He had to keep it a secret. Naruto forced a smile that looked as natural as possible. "Yeah, it's...unbelievable, isn't it?"
The terrifying emotion that had been chilling in Zuo Yue's eyes had indeed dissipated, but it had been replaced by a scrutinizing question.
She then continued to stare at Sasuke, waiting for him to provide more compelling evidence to substantiate this bizarre claim.
"Naruto also has blonde hair and blue eyes," Sasuke continued to weave his lie unhurriedly, "but her hairstyle is very long twin tails."
He even raised his hands and gestured to the sides of his shoulders to indicate the length of his braids. "I could describe it in more detail, but..." He turned his gaze to Naruto, "I don't want to become like that, so let the Naruto of this world become that."
Sasuke spoke these words slowly, his tone carrying a strange composure. For some reason, a strange urge to laugh welled up deep within him.
"Me?!" Naruto blurted out, his voice filled with shock. He hadn't expected Sasuke to be serious. Was it really necessary to lie to this extent? Naruto pondered, trying to find a way to refuse.
"After all, strictly speaking, it's another version of myself," Sasuke's tone became subtle. "There's nothing to be ashamed of." He took a step forward. "Come on, I can describe it bit by bit."
At this point, Sasuke's lips finally twitched slightly.
Naruto was filled with resistance. He really didn't want to cooperate with this increasingly outrageous lie. However, when he looked up at Satsuki, he found that the other party didn't show any intention of refusing.
On the contrary, Satsuki was staring intently at him, her dark eyes revealing a kind of... expectation?
------
"Hmm, that's about right," Sasuke said, scrutinizing "Naruto" with a professional look. "But you can't see clearly with your eyes closed like that. Is this reaction necessary? Her figure needs some adjustments."
Sasuke, seemingly enjoying the drama, continued his serious analysis. Under everyone's watchful eyes, to keep the lie going, the blond-haired, blue-eyed boy's figure gradually transformed, replaced by a girl with long, radiant golden twin tails, azure eyes, and... an exceptionally well-developed figure.
"Erzhuzi..." A female voice came from "Naruko's" mouth, but there was obvious suppression in her tone, "The things about this world are not my fault, are they? I was also very surprised at the time."
This adorable voice contrasted sharply with Naruto's usual tone. However, Sasuke merely raised an eyebrow, continuing his act without batting an eye. "An accident? I don't understand what you're talking about." He feigned confusion. "I've accepted my other self completely, so why are you still ashamed of this?"
Sasuke felt a very complicated feeling inside. In the past, when he saw Naruto in this form, he was always dressed provocatively and using Sexy Jutsu in a seductive manner. Now, he was acting so shy, which was something Sasuke had never seen before.
"Still a little short," Sasuke said, taking a step forward. "I already said her development is better than it is now. Besides, Naruto isn't as timid as you."
"...I understand." Naruko took a deep breath, seemingly trying to adjust her state.
"Hmm... cough."
"What are you laughing at?"
"I didn't laugh." Sasuke quickly regained his composure and denied it in the calmest voice.
"Didn't you laugh?"
"You must have misheard." Sasuke turned his face away, but the slight twitch at the corner of his mouth betrayed him.
Standing to the side, Satsuki seemed to have completely believed this explanation. The image Sasuke described was so detailed and specific—from the way his braids were styled to his clothing preferences, and even some of his habitual gestures—it didn't seem like something that had been made up on the spot.
This was also the first time Zuo Yue had seen Naruto in such a state...
Her right hand stealthily reached for the ninja tool pouch at her waist, her fingers gently unbuttoning the side pocket. In the instant that "Naruko" turned her head away shyly, unable to look anyone in the eye, Satsuki swiftly took out her small camera and pressed the shutter button rapidly and discreetly.
Satsuki's eyes were fixed on the viewfinder, her pupils reflecting the figure with golden twin tails.
So cute...she looks just like a doll...
Satsuki suppressed the urge to rush forward and get close to him; to be honest, a very strong, twisted thought welled up inside her.
He wanted to keep this image by his side forever, imprison her, take meticulous care of her, and then... completely erase her memory, so that she would only depend on him and only look at him.
All other extreme thoughts flashed through her mind. Her breathing quickened slightly, and her fingers gripping the camera turned white from the pressure.
Boruto, standing expressionless to the side, was somewhat speechless. Although he roughly understood why he had to keep it a secret from his "master" in this world—it was probably because he was afraid she would be jealous.
But in the end, isn't this just a seduction technique where the clothes don't disappear? Is it really necessary for the fathers in this world to react so strongly?
After making further adjustments to the transformation details and perfecting her physique, "Naruko" whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Sasuke, your personality has really changed a lot over the years."
"Hmm," Sasuke replied calmly, ignoring the sarcasm in his voice, "This is all thanks to you."
His expression remained calm, but a hint of gentleness flashed in his eyes.
"...That's about enough, isn't it?" Naruto, or rather, Naruto in his "Naruko" state, said with difficulty. At this moment, a strange sense of guilt welled up in his heart—although he was not responsible for the differences in this world, he began to vaguely understand the absurdity and embarrassment that Sasuke had experienced before.
"...Wait a little longer."
Satsuki gently stopped Naruto's actions, her gaze still fixed on "Naruko" in front of her. After hesitating for a moment, she seemed to think that this level of contact was not too inappropriate, so she reached out and pinched "Naruko's" cheek.
Just then—
"—Sorry! There's no time to continue now!"
Suddenly, Naruto's expression changed drastically, her blue eyes instantly filled with panic. Almost at the same moment, a puff of white smoke rose up with a "bang," and the image of the blonde twin-tailed girl quickly dissipated, revealing Naruto as he returned to his original form.
Before anyone could explain, Naruto suddenly pulled a Flying Thunder God kunai from his ninja tool pouch. Before anyone could react, he hurriedly left behind a single sentence and vanished from the spot with a "whoosh."
"Urashiki has appeared inside Konoha!"
