Chapter 157:
Haruno Sakura walked away fully satisfied. Naruto watched her retreating back with a relieved expression.
This was perfect—exactly what a good brother and wingman should be.
Appear when needed, disappear when not.
Next, Naruto and Sakyo went to a restaurant to buy some cooked food to take home.
Little Black had just woken up, but she still looked listless and kept avoiding Sakyo's gaze from time to time…
If Sakyo ever found out that Little Black—because she couldn't sleep last night—had eavesdropped on her and Naruto's "lovey-dovey bath" session, Sakyo would definitely kill Little Black.
The three of them ate, finished packing everything.
Naruto formed hand seals: "Shadow Clone Technique!"
Bang~
A shadow clone appeared. Naruto immediately said to it: "Go tell the Third that I'm heading out for a while."
The shadow clone nodded and ran toward the Hokage Tower.
Shadow clones had the same memories and thoughts as Naruto—they wouldn't take certain "rule-like" things too seriously either.
Notifying the Third Hokage was just to avoid him noticing Naruto's disappearance and sending ANBU to tail him again.
"Alright~ Let's hit the road!"
By now, the sky had gradually darkened.
The outside temperature was starting to drop—no longer sweltering.
In the stifling heat of summer, this was the most comfortable time for traveling.
Little Black entered Sakyo's mental world. Naruto and Sakyo set off from the Uchiha compound. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, so the two of them sprinted straight toward Konoha's wall—they had no intention of using the main gate.
Neither Naruto nor Sakyo was weak, so their travel speed was ridiculously efficient.
Their first destination wasn't too far from Konoha.
By the time night had fully fallen, they had already arrived.
As a major town in the Land of Fire, it naturally had a large flow of people.
Naruto also saw quite a few ninja standing guard—safety was guaranteed. At the very least, Konoha was right next door, so basically no one dared cause trouble here.
Plus, this place was much larger than Konoha, so its development wasn't inferior at all.
As soon as they stopped, Naruto stared hungrily at Sakyo, making her instinctively take a step back: "What do you want to do?"
Naruto licked his lips: "Little Sakyo~ Come on, put on some cute female clothing."
Sakyo rejected him with a full face of refusal: "No way! I'm not wearing that maid outfit! Don't think I don't know what that is!"
Her voice was quite loud. Passersby on the street immediately turned strange looks toward Naruto and Sakyo.
And they started whispering evaluations of the two.
"Tsk tsk tsk, young people these days really know how to play."
"Sigh, why doesn't my wife like outfits like that?"
"Whose kid is this? Don't their parents know?"
Hearing the discussions, Sakyo's sense of shame instantly surged. She lowered her head and refused to look at Naruto.
Naruto didn't care about the onlookers' comments. He directly sent himself and Sakyo into My World.
Next to the small house, Naruto said to Sakyo: "Little Sakyo, what are you thinking?"
"That kind of clothing is only for me to see—how could I let you wear it outside?"
"The maid outfit is for when no one else is around—like right now."
"Uh… don't look at me like that. We still have to go out later. Change into this set first."
As he spoke, Naruto pulled Sakyo over to the pile of clothes, rummaged around, and picked out an outfit similar to what Yuhi Kurenai wore~
Since Naruto was insisting so strongly, Sakyo didn't refuse. However…
Sakyo looked at Naruto hesitantly: "You're not going to watch me change, are you?"
Changing from male clothing to female naturally required removing certain disguises.
The process was basically like changing underwear.
Naruto said softly: "I've already seen everything—don't be so mysterious~"
"No way!" Sakyo refused decisively.
Before, Sakyo had been too impulsive, so Naruto got his way. Aside from no baby-making, pretty much everything else had happened.
Thinking back to those scenes now, Sakyo felt embarrassed.
How could she have suddenly… let Naruto get away with it so easily?
Naruto sighed. A wonderful view he couldn't enjoy—slightly regrettable.
He turned around and said to Sakyo: "Alright, start changing."
Not long after, the sound of Sakyo changing clothes came from behind him. Naruto used every ounce of his willpower to resist turning around.
Although it was only a few minutes, to Naruto it felt like several centuries.
"I'm done…"
Sakyo's voice sounded a bit off. This was her first time wearing this kind of outfit.
It felt like a bunch of random strips of fabric wrapped around her body, covering certain parts.
Although Sakyo knew the outfit had sufficient protective features—safety shorts, fabric to prevent wardrobe malfunctions, etc.
But she was extremely uncomfortable because this outfit perfectly accentuated a woman's figure.
Sakyo was only eleven years old, but a small mound had already formed in certain places. The feeling of releasing the bindings was nice, but Sakyo just couldn't get used to it…
Hearing Sakyo's voice, Naruto turned to look at her. His eyes instantly lit up.
Sakyo's delicate body was wrapped in the clothing. One lotus-like arm was exposed to the air while the other side had long sleeves, giving off a very mature big-sister vibe.
It was a one-piece outfit—bottom strips only reached above the knees, creating a special sense of beauty.
Of course, the most important part was Sakyo's shy, evasive gaze, her refined little face, and the soft hair hanging against her cheeks~
The conflicting styles of big-sister maturity and loli cuteness perfectly combined on Sakyo, giving off an ethereal, fairy-like aura. Naruto was extremely satisfied and kept nodding around her:
"Mm~ Nice, nice~ As expected of my Little Sakyo—female clothing looks so good on you."
Hearing this, Sakyo gained some confidence. She straightened her slender waist and said to Naruto: "Let's go~"
Naruto nodded, walked naturally to Sakyo's side, and gently placed his hand on her fragrant shoulder.
…
On the street, Naruto and Sakyo's figures suddenly appeared out of thin air, instantly stunning a group of passersby.
Some of the timid ones even covered their heads and screamed while running away: "Ah~~ Ghost!!"
Naruto rolled his eyes at them: "What ghost?"
"I'm so handsome and dashing, Little Sakyo is so beautiful and charming—the two of us are simply a perfect match made in heaven."
"And in this situation you're saying there's a ghost? You have no taste! Pfft~"
After complaining about the passersby, Sakyo also called Little Black out.
Sakyo took out a thick stack of ryō and said gently to Little Black: "This is your pocket money. Go have fun~"
Little Black stared at the thick stack—several tens of thousands of ryō in bills. Her eyes went wide.
Sakyo had never given her this much money at once before. What was going on today?
And Sakyo was being so gentle and had even changed into a pretty outfit—so what exactly was going on…
Little Black's trembling hands took the ryō. She looked at Sakyo in amazement: "Main body, you look so good in that outfit—no wonder it's me! Mm!"
