Chapter 343. Ordinary Relationship!
---
On one side, Orochimaru's black-hearted OEM factory had already started working to prepare for the shopping festival. On the other side, Yuto was watching... Jiraiya, who was driving his own toad van out of the village.
For some reason... ever since coming back from the amusement park, Jiraiya had been hospitalized, and only got discharged yesterday. Today, he hurriedly drove away.
And just now, he had even patted Yuto on the shoulder with a bitter smile and said, "Don't come up with any more terrible ideas in the future. This sage almost didn't make it back!"
Then—
He turned around and got into the van!
His back looked extremely desolate!
Who knows what he had gone through!
Watching him, Yuto couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
Jiraiya.
It's not easy for him either!
"I'm back!"
Returning home, Yuto lay down directly and then called Suzune over for a massage~
Although his body had gotten stronger and he was more energetic, no longer needing a thermos, Suzune's skills were still incredibly comfortable.
"Kana and Konan have already arrived home!" Suzune said softly as she gently massaged Yuto. "The Yuto production base in the Land of Rain has also ramped up production according to your instructions during this time!"
"Mhm~" Yuto nodded slightly, closing his eyes to enjoy his exclusive masseuse—Suzune's skills.
"By the way~, Kana also asked me to tell you... Yahiko is planning to release that Sasori." Seeing that Yuto didn't seem in the mood to listen, Suzune helplessly shook her head and continued, "They think he's been locked up long enough and would have to be released sooner or later. Plus, he's been behaving very well lately, so they want to ask for your opinion."
After she finished speaking, Yuto frowned slightly. His originally tired expression became a bit more serious. "Sasori?"
He had almost forgotten about that guy.
After all, later on... he hadn't needed that guy much anymore. It wasn't because Sasori's skills weren't good, but... the times had changed. After being locked up for so long, Sasori, who only knew carpentry work, was somewhat outdated now.
Besides, most things, Yuto could solve on his own, so he hadn't bothered Sasori.
After pondering for a moment, he looked at Suzune, "Let Yahiko and the others handle it themselves~. If they think it's time to release him, then release him. As for Sunagakure... not a big issue. If they find out, I'll personally talk with them."
It was mainly the death of the Third Kazekage that was serious; as for the rest... it was all minor stuff. Not to mention, Sasori's grandmother had a high status in Sunagakure. Even if they found out that Sasori was captured, they might even have to thank the Land of Rain!
And regarding the Third Kazekage's death... even if the Fourth Kazekage got angry, he would target Sasori, not the Land of Rain.
"Forget it! I'll call Yahiko personally in a bit!"
After he said that, Suzune nodded lightly, "Mhm~"
Then, she continued gently massaging Yuto.
However.
Not long after.
Yuto seemed to remember something and said, "Oh right! In a while, you'll come with me on a trip!"
"To the Land of Rain?" Suzune paused slightly, and thinking of Kana, her eyes narrowed a bit, and she unconsciously increased the pressure of her hands. "Hmph! Annoying Yuto!"
"Mmm!" Yuto let out a comfortable moan as he felt the increased strength, then leisurely said, "No! It's just that the caged bird issue should be resolved too! They've already found a way. We'll go check it out after some time!"
As he spoke, he suddenly noticed the massaging hands had stopped, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
After the words fell—
There was no response from behind, and even the hands massaging him disappeared.
Just as Yuto was about to turn his head in confusion to see what was going on...
At that moment—
A soft sensation came from behind, making Yuto slightly freeze.
A gentle voice came from behind, "Yuto."
"Hmm?"
"Then should I start calling myself Uchiha Suzune in the future?"
"Hmm!"
"What about Kana?"
"..."
Why bring that up now?
The originally smiling Yuto instantly started sweating on his forehead and awkwardly laughed, "It's just an ordinary relationship!"
"And me?"
"It's just an ordinary relationship!"
As soon as he finished speaking—
Pinch!
He got pinched hard from behind!
"It's just an ordinary relationship?" Suzune's smiling voice sounded, full of meaningful tone. Just as Yuto was about to laugh it off and muddle through again, he heard Suzune continue, "Say... when are Honoka and the others coming back?"
"???"
Why suddenly ask about that?
Yuto pondered for a moment and said, "It will probably take a few more days~ This mission is indeed a bit long. I don't even know exactly what the mission is. I'll ask Minato about it tomorrow~"
As the words fell—
He suddenly felt Suzune behind him move closer. Sensing the soft trembling figure and the faint fragrance behind him, Yuto was instantly stunned.
Suzune's charming voice once again sounded by his ear, "Say... does Honoka prefer a younger brother or a younger sister?"
After the words fell—
Immediately—
Yuto's body trembled. He turned his head to glance at Suzune, who had a blush on her cheeks and slightly trembling eyebrows, and said righteously, "Later! Later I'll ask that girl Honoka! This question... must be asked properly!"
Just like that, while this side was going deeper into the discussion about whether Honoka preferred a younger brother or sister.
On the other side.
There was also a little kid sitting silently on the school swing, looking up at the afterglow in the sky.
On his young face was an expression of sadness and vicissitudes that did not match his age, as he murmured to himself, "Onii-chan! When will you come back!"
He.
Missed his Onii-chan!
Missed Onii-chan's hug!
And beside him... sat a little friend also swinging slowly with dead-fish eyes.
The sunshine of the past seemed no longer there.
No one knew how much time had passed.
Finally. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"Sigh~"
As the two sighed slowly together.
"Whoosh!"
A figure appeared, looking at them and speaking calmly, "Sasuke-sama, Naruto-sama! School's over, you should head to the Hyuga clan for supplementary lessons!"
After the words fell—
The two little guys' small bodies trembled slightly, then they took a deep breath, looked at each other with firm expressions, and stood up directly, "Let's go!"
One day.
They would definitely be able to rely on their own strength to escape Hiashi-sensei's pursuit!
This was.
Uzumaki Naruto (Uchiha Sasuke)'s guarantee!
...
At the same time.
Land of Demons.
Team Hanabi was raising their heads, looking shocked at the darkened sky.
The sky seemed as if it was about to collapse.
"This is the end of the world that the priestess of the Land of Demons predicted?!" Itachi's eyes were heavy, and his tone was slightly serious. "It really is quite unbelievable!"
After the words fell—
Hanabi also came back to her senses. The shock on her face seemed to fade, and she lowered her head to look at Itachi, "The message has been sent back?"
The so-called end of the world in the Land of Demons.
She knew it too.
It's just that seeing it suddenly like this was a bit shocking!
"It's been sent out!" Itachi nodded. "There's no signal here, so we couldn't make a phone call, but I sent a message back using a ninja hawk."
"That's good. The current situation is no longer something a few of us can handle." Hanabi smiled helplessly. "Don't worry! It's not as exaggerated as the Land of Demons said! Let's go back and wait for reinforcements!"
After saying that—
She turned around, ready to lead the team back.
After walking for a bit.
She stopped again, looking back at the collapsing sky, murmuring, "The End of the Ninja World... huh?"
She remembered when she was at the Ninja Academy.
The teacher also once asked... When the end of the world comes, what would you want to do most, and who would you want to be with!
At that time.
What did she write?
