Trees Chapter 354 It’s Totally Normal for a Young Couple to Go on a Date Occasionally, Right?

Chen Feng froze for a few seconds after hearing this. Then, he walked up to his teammate, patted him on the shoulder, and began lecturing him with the air of a seasoned veteran.

"Xiao Wang..."

"You’ve been a Reincarnator for too short a time."

"All the worlds we travel through are real worlds."

"What anime shows is just the main storyline… it’s normal for a lot of details to be omitted."

Chen Feng’s words weren’t without reason.

After all, in the previous few worlds, their group of Reincarnators had already discovered this fact.

Think about it...

Those novels and TV shows never explain what the protagonists do every single day.

"Xiao Wang, listen to me."

"It’s completely normal for a young couple like Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke to sneak out for a date once in a while."

Naruto: “???”

Sasuke: “???”

At that moment, Naruto, who was hiding in the shadows eavesdropping on their conversation, almost couldn’t hold back from rushing out and stabbing this old bastard.

‘Damn it!’

‘What the hell are you talking about!!!’

Naruto, perched on a tree, had already pulled out his Black Coffin. To avoid alerting the enemy, Sasuke quickly grabbed him and held him back, urgently signaling with his eyes.

Right now, they still knew too little about these two Reincarnators.

From their observations so far, they had confirmed that the two were indeed weak.

Killing them now might vent their anger, but the Reincarnators still had a large force lurking in the shadows.

If these people remained hidden and started targeting their friends and family, it would be a real headache.

Besides...

During their earlier surveillance, Sasuke had tried casting Genjutsu on them multiple times, but the two showed no reaction at all.

Clearly, they either had some resistance to genjutsu or were equipped with anti-Genjutsu tools.

"Naruto... calm down first."

"Let’s gather more intel before killing them."

"You don’t want to lose all leads after killing them, do you?"

Naruto felt something was off about Sasuke’s phrasing, but after calming down, he shook off Sasuke’s grip.

Remembering the Reincarnators’ earlier conversation, Naruto subconsciously took a few steps away from Sasuke.

"I think we’re getting a little too close."

"Stay away from me, Sasuke."

Sasuke’s expression stiffened, a flash of anger crossing his face.

"Idiot."

With that, he crouched back down, and the two continued eavesdropping on the Reincarnators’ conversation.

"But..."

Wang Tian still felt something was wrong, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

What’s more, his sense of unease was growing stronger.

With A-Qi still missing, his anxiety only deepened.

"No buts."

"At most, Uzumaki Naruto can only use Sage Mode right now, and Uchiha Sasuke doesn’t even have his Rinnegan yet..."

"With our teleportation skills, as long as we don’t fight them head-on, we’re practically guaranteed to win."

Chen Feng patted his shoulder, his tone still as relaxed as before.

There were several ways to kill Naruto, and Chen Feng had already exchanged for the Sealing Technique: Phantom Dragons Nine Consuming Seals from the shop before arriving.

This technique was the one used by the Akatsuki in the original story to extract Biju. As long as he could extract the Kyubi...

Then, with a little extra effort...

Killing Naruto would be a piece of cake.

"Hey, if you’re still worried..."

"I can call Captain over to back us up later."

Seeing Wang Tian’s lingering doubts, Chen Feng patiently reassured him again.

"Xiao Wang, you need to remember, for us..."

"The real threat isn’t these natives, but the other teams that will come later."

"When the time comes..."

"Out of dozens of teams, if even one-tenth survive, it’ll be considered a lot."

Wang Tian was finally convinced by Chen Feng.

‘He was right.’

‘Compared to these natives, the other Reincarnator teams posed a far greater threat.’

After a brief discussion, the two, worried that Naruto and Sasuke might leave, hurried back the way they came.

Meanwhile, Naruto and Sasuke, still hiding in the shadows, showed grave expressions.

‘Damn it!!’

‘How many teams did that old bastard just say?!’

‘Dozens?!’

‘Wait...’

‘Is the Main God out of its mind?!’

"Let’s go!"

"Return now."

Naruto summoned a portal, and Sasuke nodded, following closely behind.

The two returned to their original location one after the other.

Naruto had roughly pieced together some key intel about these two guys.

Based on his understanding, this team of reincarnators was most likely sent by the Main God to test the waters.

For them, the real threat lay in the teams that would come later.

After all...

The truly strong ones seemed to appear only afterward.

"Sorry we're late."

Naruto's train of thought was interrupted by the voice. He glanced at the speaker and grinned widely.

"Old man, couldn't find your teammate?"

"We're in the Land of Lightning now… If Kumogakure’s Shinobi catch you, it won't end well."

Seeing Naruto's concern for them, Chen Feng's smile deepened.

‘As expected of the protagonist...’

‘With this kind of naivety, if he were a Reincarnator, he’d have been devoured long ago.’

"It's fine."

"Our teammate is pretty strong."

Sasuke, with his hands in the pockets, couldn’t help but mutter under his breath.

"Splitting up the team..."

"That’s how people die in horror movies."

"Classic."

Naruto: “?”

Chen Feng & Wang Tian: “???”

His offhand comment left the other three frozen for a few seconds.

Naruto was worried that Sasuke’s comment had blown their cover, but then reconsidered...

‘The old Shinobi World has TVs and horror movies too...’

‘...That’s probably normal, right?’

Meanwhile, the two Reincarnators exchanged glances, thoroughly confused.

‘Wait...’

‘What’s up with this Sasuke?’

‘He feels off...’

Luckily, Naruto quickly stepped in.

"Huh? Old man, haven’t you seen horror movies before?"

"No TV at home?"

Chen Feng suddenly remembered that the Naruto World did have modern technology.

‘So...’

‘Sasuke’s comment was actually normal?’

To avoid suspicion, he scratched his head and forced a reply.

"Oh... no, it’s not that."

"I’m just not into horror movies."

However, Wang Tian had already realized something was wrong.

‘This Sasuke...’

‘His tone is way too weird!’

He subtly positioned himself behind Chen Feng, quietly pulling out a Vibranium dagger from his pocket.

Then, he reached for a vial of poison, preparing to coat the blade…

But just as he was halfway through, Naruto’s voice suddenly rang in his ear.

"Hey, what’re you doing?"

Wang Tian looked up to see Naruto crouching right in front of him, staring curiously.

‘What the…?!’

‘When did this kid get here?!’

‘How is he so silent?!’

He whipped his head around, wondering if he was hallucinating...

Only to see Uchiha Sasuke gripping Chen Feng’s hair with one hand.

Wang Tian’s mind blanked.

‘Since when?!’

‘Did they figure us out?!’

‘How did they find out?’

A flood of questions surged through his mind. Ignoring him, Naruto turned to Sasuke and complained.

"Sasuke, it's all your fault!"

"If you hadn’t said that stupid line..."

"This bastard wouldn’t have noticed."

Sasuke remained expressionless, slamming the Reincarnator’s head into the ground before replying.

"You weren’t planning to keep pretending anyway, were you?"

Chen Feng, his skull throbbing from the impact, gritted his teeth and roared at Wang Tian’s direction, "R-Run...!"

“Ptui…”

Sasuke spat a mouthful of thick phlegm in his face.

"Run your mom."
