Chapter 80: The Uchiha Sasuke Led by the Nose
"Naruto-kun... your hair... looks a bit different..."
Early the next morning, Naruto, who checked in at irregular times every day, appeared in Hyuga Hinata's line of sight again. With just one glance, Hyuga Hinata noticed the difference in Narutocompared to yesterday.
"And Naruto-kun... the scent... on your body..." Hyuga Hinata stammered, blushing. The steam continuously rising from her head even made Naruto wonder if the pillar industry of Hyuga Hinata's family was selling coal!
Otherwise, where on earth was all that heat coming from?
"What's wrong with the scent on me?" Naruto, who had great faith in Hyuga Hinata's keen senses, immediately lifted his arm and sniffed. "There's no special scent..."
"It's not very special... it's just... it smells better than yesterday!"
Hyuga Hinata said the last part in a voice as thin as a mosquito's; if Naruto hadn't had sharp ears, he might not have heard it at all.
"After the uzumaki bloodline was purified, besides getting closer to the Sage Body, does it have this effect too?" Although Naruto was doubtful, he laughed it off, preparing to brush it aside.
"Hahaha..." Naruto pretended to be shy and scratched his head. "Maybe it's because Hinatacares about me too much that there's a slight error in judgment. I'm still the same me as yesterday!"
Naruto patted Hyuga Hinata on the shoulder. "If there really is any difference from yesterday... I think it must be that I care about you a little more than I did yesterday..."
Warning! Warning! Warning!
Under Naruto's inadvertent sweet offensive, Hyuga Hinata instantly broke through her shyness threshold. The temperature of the steam not only got higher, but the temperature on her skin surface had also reached a critical point.
"Ahem!" Seeing that things were going south, Naruto coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject. "Hinata, why is your hair so messy today? Did you not wash your face?!"
Beauty is a second life for women; no matter what age, women can never let go of beauty.
Sure enough, as soon as Naruto's seemingly dismissive words came out, Hyuga Hinata was stunned for a moment, and the steam that kept rising instantly receded. After she realized what happened, her first action was to cover her face with her hands, then immediately lowered her head and played the ostrich.
"Naruto-kun, don't talk nonsense!" Hyuga Hinata's tone was urgent, even with a hint of annoyance. "I washed up properly today; it's definitely not like you said!"
Seemingly afraid that her words lacked persuasiveness, after speaking, Hyuga Hinata took out a small, cute mirror from her ninja tool pouch and, with a straight face, began to carefully look for blemishes on her face.
However, after observing for a long while, when Hyuga Hinata raised her head again, Naruto had already turned his head to whisper to Uchiha Sasuke.
"Naruto-kun is really so gentle..."
Hyuga Hinata was very careful and sensitive. She instantly understood the meaning behind Naruto's actions just now, and the face that had just calmed down started to show signs of turning red again.
...
The crescent moon hung high, appearing even more beautiful under the reflection of the starry sky.
But Uchiha Sasuke's mood at this moment was the exact opposite; he looked extremely agitated right now!
"Naruto, is everything you said true?!"
"How could I lie to you about something like this!" Naruto looked earnest. "We are brothers. Although I didn't have much interaction with your parents, I still respect them very much!"
"Orochimaru... Orochimaru... Orochimaru!" After shouting Orochimaru's name three times in a row, Uchiha Sasuke collapsed onto the wooden floor of Naruto's house. "He is one of the Sannin who has been famous for a long time. How am I supposed to take back my parents' lost Sharingan!"
"Besides working hard to improve your own strength, there doesn't seem to be a better way..." Naruto feigned comfort while actually guiding him. "It's just that Orochimaru might..."
"How dare he! How could he dare!"
Uchiha Sasuke quickly associated how his parents' eyes were being wantonly treated by Orochimaru. His extreme personality, which had been suppressed by Naruto for two years, revived again, and under the stimulation of his parents' remains being incomplete, it became increasingly uncontrollable.
"No! I have to apply to leave the village!"
"Stop making a scene!" Naruto grabbed Uchiha Sasuke. "Believe that with your parents' talent, their Sharingan must also be extraordinary. I believe Orochimaru shouldn't have destroyed them."
"But..."
"There are no 'buts.' Your primary goal right now is still to improve your own strength!"
Uchiha Sasuke sat back down dejectedly. The soft heart hidden under his extreme exterior could no longer be concealed. A feeling of helplessness and despair radiated from his body.
Naruto naturally noticed the helpless aura radiating from Uchiha Sasuke. He had also experienced this situation before; the difference was that this time, Uchiha Sasuke's emotional breakdown was guided by Naruto himself.
However, soon, Uchiha Sasuke discovered something wrong. Although he was extreme inside because of the clan extermination, he was not stupid after all.
"Naruto, your source of information..."
"Here it comes!"
Naruto had long been guarding against this move from Uchiha Sasuke. After sighing inwardly and steadying his mind, he took out the draft he had already prepared.
"Here! This is a copy of the recent action records and some mission descriptions of the Anbu."
"This kind of classified information... how did you..."
This document was, of course, forged by Naruto. And because he had spent quite some time in the Anbu replacing the identity of Uchiha Itachi, he was very clear about the format and seals of Anbudocuments. It was not difficult to forge at all; it even reached the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing.
"This has to start with my background..."
Uchiha Sasuke would know Naruto's identity sooner or later. Instead of letting him find out slowly from the side in the future, it was better for Naruto to tell him himself now. After all, this was also a way to pull their relationship closer.
Sharing the same fate is sometimes an important factor in the sublimation of feelings between each other. Uchiha Sasuke would likely be happy to make a sworn brother who also had a tragic background.
Sure enough, halfway through Naruto's story, the look in Uchiha Sasuke's eyes changed. He didn't expect that such an excellent Naruto also had such an unbearable past.
"Just like that, my father's former subordinates found me. While taking care of me in secret, I also learned more about the secrets of Konoha from them."
"Then this intelligence..."
"It was a clue he accidentally discovered while investigating the whereabouts of the lost Sharingan during the Uchiha Clan extermination." Naruto's tone and expression were extremely serious, leaving no flaws. "When he was writing his mission report, the paper underneath would always leave marks. As long as you use a pencil to trace it, you can get this intelligence!"
"So that's how it is..."
Uchiha Sasuke although didn't fully believe it, he already believed more than half of it. And judging by Naruto's performance over the years, Uchiha Sasuke couldn't think of a reason for Naruto to lie to him.
"I didn't expect our Uchiha Clan to have fallen to this point!" Uchiha Sasuke smiled miserably. "What about the remaining lost Sharingan of the clansmen?"
"That is unknown..."
Naruto also showed a look of grief at the right time. "But I believe that this matter will come to light one day!"
