Trees Chapter 327 Is This Yellow-Haired Bastard Poking Me Secretly?

"If it were you..."

"What would you do?"

Naruto's expression suddenly turned serious.

But his words seemed to have been misunderstood by Hinata, who clenched her fists tightly.

Seeing his good brother being so solemn, Sasuke genuinely put himself in that position and began to think about what he would do if it were him...

A few seconds later...

"Damn! Then I'll have to kill his whole family!"

Naruto: “??”

‘Huh???’

‘Why was Sasuke’s reaction so extreme?’

He had just wanted to tease Sasuke, but he never expected the guy to go this far.

‘This ‘kill his whole family’ thing...’

‘The relationship between me and white-haired old man is just that of a master and a disciple...’

‘Surely that wouldn’t extend to me, right?’

"Not only would I kill his whole family, but I’d also kill his master, kill his disciple..."

Sasuke spoke while deep in thought.

His tone was deadly serious.

But as he kept talking, Sasuke noticed something off about Naruto.

"Naruto, why are you sweating so much?"

"I-It’s nothing... Let’s... let’s just eat."

"I was just saying, don’t take it seriously."

Sasuke grinned, as if it wasn’t a big deal.

"Why are you so nervous?"

"It’s not like I have a chil..."

When Sasuke saw the yellow-haired man's expression, he originally wanted to tell Naruto that there was no need to worry, after all, he was not the one being cuckolded.

However, his words stopped at the word ‘child’, and his words of persuasion suddenly stopped, then his expression turned stiff.

‘Mitsuki??’

‘Orochimaru!?’

Given how Naruto often referred to Orochimaru as ‘Medusa’, Sasuke suddenly had an epiphany.

‘Damn it!!!’

‘The friend Naruto was just talking about was me?!’

‘Medu... No! Orochimaru went out and found another man??’

"Damn it! Uzumaki Naruto!!"

"Do you want to fight?!"

Sasuke immediately tackled Naruto to the ground, grabbing his collar with a furious expression.

‘This bastard!!’

‘I and Orochimaru are innocent!’

‘Mitsuki is cloned! He is not my son at all!!’

"Let me say it again!"

"I have never acknowledged Mitsuki as my son!!"

Seeing how angry Sasuke was, Naruto got a little scared and spoke cautiously.

"Yo, yo, why are you anxious?"

"U! Zu! Ma! Ki! Na! Ru! To!"

Sasuke raised his fist and was about to hit the yellow-haired man in the face, with his Mangekyo and Rinnegan activated.

Sakura and Karin both jumped up from their seats, ready to stop the two.

They knew these two too well.

Once they started fighting, it would go on endlessly, and they’d destroy everything around them without hesitation.

Most importantly...

Sasuke would most likely end up getting pummeled into the ground by Naruto.

Bang…

However, the fastest to act was Hinata, who kicked Sasuke off Naruto in an instant.

‘How dare he!’

‘I hadn’t even gotten that close to Naruto yet!’

After taking the kick, Sasuke immediately cooled down.

While he wasn’t afraid of Naruto, but for some reason, he always felt a little intimidated by Hinata.

After kicking Sasuke away, Hinata reached out and pulled Naruto up from the ground, then glanced at Sara, who was gaping slightly.

The threat in her eyes was unmistakable.

‘When Sara met Hinata’s gaze and then looked back at where she had just been sitting...’

‘No way!’

‘How come this woman is so fast!?’

‘She's even faster than my Shunpo!!’

When Sara met Hinata's aggressive stare, she instinctively lowered her head in submission and quietly went back to eating.

"The person you were talking about..."

"Is it Jiraiya?"

Sasuke suddenly dropped this bombshell, making Naruto’s heart skip a beat.

"Wait, idiot."

"I can vouch for the white-haired old man here!"

"It was definitely Medusa who seduced him first..."

"My... my master is probably, maybe, most likely innocent!"

Hearing Naruto’s nonsensical words again, Sasuke’s face darkened. He glanced at Hinata first, then retorted.

"What Orochimaru does has nothing to do with me!"

Sakura and Karin felt a weight lift off their shoulders upon hearing this. The two girls exchanged glances, both smiling in relief.

‘Thank goodness!’

‘I knew Sasuke and Orochimaru were innocent!’

Naruto shrugged and spread his hands.

‘Whatever you say.’

"Anyway, in the end, it's your family matter. Even though I'm your good brother, there's only so much I can do.’

Sasuke gritted his teeth, letting out a heavy sigh before sitting back down in his seat, sulking.

Every now and then, he would shoot Sara a disdainful glare.

‘Trash!’

‘She is indeed the silly queen!’

‘So useless!’

Seeing the oppressive aura around Sasuke, Sakura and Karin didn’t dare sit too close. They pulled Hinata with them to sit further away.

Just like that, everyone settled back into their seats, but no one spoke a word. The atmosphere grew increasingly awkward.

"Hey."

"Naruto."

Sasuke picked up a napkin from the table, wiped his mouth, then called out to Naruto.

Naruto looked up, confused.

He had no idea what nonsense Sasuke was about to pull now.

"Open the portal. I’m heading back to Orochimaru’s hideout."

Hinata: “?”

Karin & Sakura: “!!!”

Naruto's eyes widened and his pupils began to tremble.

‘Holy shit!!’

‘Is he going to confront Medusa directly?’

Sasuke noticed that everyone was looking at him with something strange in their eyes, and after hesitating for a moment, he began to explain, "I'm going back to deal with Mitsuki."

"We’ll talk about it tomorrow..."

"Orochimaru’s hideout should be empty right now."

Naruto recalled that when Orochimaru saw Tsunade, his first reaction was to run away, most likely taking all his subordinates with him.

‘Perhaps...’

‘Orochimaru was afraid Tsunade would take her anger out on the others?’

At the very least, when Naruto left the hideout earlier, he hadn’t seen anyone else around.

Sasuke nodded without saying anything else.

‘Dealing with Mitsuki could wait. I could beat the crap out of him anytime after I was done eating.’

‘There’s no need to rush.’

After dinner, Sakura excused herself, saying she had experiments to conduct, but Karin seemed to have something she wanted to say to Sakura, so she left with her too.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Sara opened the gate and returned to the Pure Land.

Sasuke is completely unbothered by their departures, and stubbornly stayed behind.

He even took out his cell phone to challenge a certain yellow-haired guy to a duel, determined to settle their unfinished duel.

Naruto was immediately amused when he saw this.

‘Heh…’

‘I already had Sasori secretly tweak… Cough, release the new character, Kurosaki Ichigo, and even balanced Uchiha Xiao Yan’s stats.’

‘So...’

‘Dumbass, how the hell are you going to beat me now?’

"Bastard! Uzumaki Naruto! Did you have Sasori mess with the stats?"

After getting utterly destroyed in one round, Sasuke glared at Naruto in disbelief.

"Oh?"

"If you're not good at it, just practice more. Don’t be a sore loser."

Naruto’s grin widened, his smug expression making Sasuke want to punch him.

"Again!"

Hinata sat alone on the sofa, watching as the two occasionally spouted ridiculous, chuuni-worthy lines. Her expression grew darker by the minute.

She glanced at the clock on the wall and found that it was already midnight.

But these two are still playing games!!

"Damn it, Sasuke! You’re using Kurosaki Ichigo too!?"

"What, only you can use him?"

"Tch! Again!"

"Bring it!"

Crack…

A vein throbbed on Hinata’s forehead, and her fists clenched so tightly they creaked. A few seconds later, she finally snapped.

"You two…!"

"Enough is enough!"

At that moment, Hinata came to a horrifying realization...

Her greatest love rival wasn’t some girl… it was this damned Uchiha Sasuke!!
