章節 103: Chapter 103 Too Much Threat
"Beg for mercy? How can I beg for mercy!" Temari's spirit suddenly flared up again, as if she had recalled something infuriating, "You really are a complete pervert!"
"This is just a common Shinobi tactic. There is nothing wrong with interrogating the enemy on the battlefield with torture. I would do the same no matter who it is." Naruto was not panicked at all and lied without hesitation.
"You're lying." Temari glared at Naruto.
That incident was the most humiliating experience of her life.
"I'm not lying. Besides, you weren't the first to be interrogated by me. During the Chunin Exams…"
"Stop! I don't want to listen to your perverted self-narration!" Temari took a deep breath.
"Interrogated? Back then, you didn't even ask me anything! You were just satisfying your sick tastes!" Temari retorted, her emotions flaring up as if she wanted to shove Naruto into the nearest sewer right away.
"What was there to ask?" Naruto smiled playfully, "Should I have asked how many people you sent to invade Konoha? What does that have to do with me?"
"You're the Sunagakure's princess, I couldn't kill you, and you refused to surrender. What else could I do besides 'interrogate' you?"
"Besides, I already held back a lot. It's a different era now. Who still uses conventional Ninjutsu routines?"
Temari knew she was in the wrong and did not insist any further.
"The fan…" She asked.
"That depends on how you behave." Naruto suddenly stood up and slowly walked towards Temari.
"What are you doing?" Temari panicked. She was genuinely frightened by this person in front of her, "Stop! Don't come any closer!"
"What are you afraid of?" Naruto stopped just two meters away from her.
"Nothing." Temari shook her head in denial.
"Are you afraid of me?" Naruto asked with expressionless face, looking down at Temari who was sitting in the chair, "Aren't you?"
The latter tried to stand up, but he stopped her.
"Sit."
"I'm not." Temari's muscles tensed, "I don't know what you're talking about!"
"From the moment you walked in, you've been extremely agitated. I can tell you hate me, but," Naruto said slowly, "You know you're not in the right, so you're just trying to cover your fear with anger."
"Your body remembers the pain, and that fear has grown. Tell me, am I right, Hime-sama?"
Temari's nails were almost digging into her flesh, but she lowered her head and said nothing.
The two stared at each other in silence until Temari's body began to tremble slowly. Finally, she looked up sharply and shouted through gritted teeth, "You, you bastard! What do you want?"
"The next Kazekage should be Gaara, right?" Naruto suddenly brought up a completely unrelated topic.
Temari froze when she heard this.
"Why are you asking about that?"
"A war between Jinchuriki is inevitable, so of course I'll find an opportunity to beat him up." Naruto said, "Although there is some kind of agreement, I'm the best at taking advantage of loopholes."
"Why are you doing this?" Temari couldn't hold back her anger anymore and said angrily, "It's just a fan, why..."
"Why?" Naruto's eyes suddenly turned cold as he closed in on Temari, standing right in front of her, "You're asking me why? Then why should I give you the fan?"
"I took that fan fair and square. Why should I return it to you just because of some trivial village interest?"
"It seems you don't understand something. I am me, and the village is the village."
"I am the Kyubi's Jinchuriki. Right now, my personal authority is almost on par with the village's. As long as it's not too extreme, there's nothing the village can do to stop me."
"… I…" Temari was terrified.
She knew that even with the fan in her hand she was no match for the man in front of her. So now, facing the aggressive Naruto, she found herself at a loss for the first time.
"From the moment you walked in, you haven't shown me any respect. What do you think I am?" Naruto leaned forward slightly and stared straight into Temari's eyes.
"Three months ago, I was nothing in Konoha, but now, even if I did something horrible to you here, no one would dare to kill me."
"What do you think I am? Someone who would apologize just because you act spoiled, and then act like some naive, gentle boy?"
"I could have killed you back then, I can do it now, and I can do it in the future too."
Naruto's voice became louder and louder, nearly becoming a roar. His pupils gleamed with a sinister red hue, and slowly changed shapes. The two are so close, one standing, the other sitting.
"I've already told you, you were born into privilege, but don't think everyone has to bow to you. This isn't some friendly Shinobi game. I could kill you and your brothers anytime."
"Now tell me, what are you going to do?"
Temari was almost frightened to tears by the overflowing killing intent that filled the room. Her chattered as she recalled the terrifying feeling of being completely dominated by fear.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Woo woo woo." Temari's psychological defenses crumbled entirely. She was terrified, realizing that even as a big sister, she wasn't invincible.
Her muffled sobs echoed in the large room, tears streaming down her face like a bullied child. Her pale, smooth skin glistened with tears.
Seeing this, Naruto thought to himself, 'It should be enough to scare her to this extent. I could go back and report to Tsunade without problem. Now, it's time to ease up and stop.'
Naruto had no intention of straining the relationship between Konoha and Sunagakure too much. He did this purely to help his leader (Tsunade) to regain some standing with Sunagakure.
It was a simple task, as making Temari cry is something that he gets used to after doing it the second time. It's not that difficult.
Now that his objective has been achieved, Naruto decided to stop scaring her.
"Alright, alright, since you've realized your mistake, and considering Tsunade-sama repeatedly advised me not to act impulsively…" Naruto looked at Temari, who was sobbing with her head down.
"Stop crying. I'll give you back the fan."
"Woo woo woo"
"I said stop crying, I'll give it back to you."
"Woo woo woo."
The more Naruto spoke, the harder Temari cried. She seemed to be unable to suppress her tears. Her eyes were like a fountain, with tears flowing uncontrollably.
"If you keep crying, I'll attack you." Naruto skillfully reached out and patted Temari's head as if comforting a cat, "Stop it already. What's there to cry about?"
"You are a pervert! Woo woo woo…" The stress Temari had been under recently exploded at that moment, and in her overwhelming sense of injustice, she didn't care who was in front of her. She clung to the 'devil' and sobbed loudly.
Naruto was startled, and his clothes were instantly soaked with tears, sticking to his stomach.
He thought to himself, 'It seemed I've gone too far. I have accidentally pushed Temari past her breaking point. Some psychological effect, whether it was the 'hangover effect' or the 'imprinting effect', had caused her to cling to me tightly. She didn't want to let me go at all.'
After a while, Temari's sobbing gradually subsided and she seemed to regain her composure, though for some reason, she still didn't let Naruto go.
"I should go now," Naruto said coldly.

章節 104: Chapter 104 The Submissive Girl, Hinata-chan
After Naruto finished speaking, Temari still didn't move, nor did she let go, though her sobbing had stopped.
The room was silent, the only sound coming from the wind howling through the forest outside.
"Let go." Naruto said in his usual cold tone.
He could feel Temari's body tense up before she slowly released him, her face deeply buried in his chest, flushed and hot.
"Here's your fan." Naruto said, and a huge fan landed on the ground with a thud. Just as he was about to leave, Temari suddenly grabbed him again, "What is it?"
"I'm sorry…"
"Got it." Naruto replied without lingering and left immediately.
When he returned to the Hokage Tower, the mission report was already written. Judging from the handwriting, it should be written by Shizune. Tsunade was asleep at her desk, surrounded by stacks of documents, while Shizune was smiling awkwardly beside her.
After whispering a 'thank you', Naruto quietly left.
Walking out of the Hokage Tower, the bright sunlight cast sharp shadows on the ground, making him frown. Since he hadn't brought Sasuke back, Naruto decided it was best to avoid Sakura for now.
'She needed time to calm down and gradually accept that Sasuke had chosen to leave and forge his own path.'
If one wanted to get stronger in Konoha, besides having a godlike bloodline, only Taijutsu geniuses like Guy can achieve that. Sasuke had chosen a larger stage to hone his skills and pursue his own goals.
That was his choice, and Naruto had no reason to convince him to give up his hatred and continue to stay in Konoha playing Shinobi games, being raised as the last bloodline of the Uchiha Clan.
As Naruto walked through the streets of Konoha, he pondered how to comfort Sakura next time, 'Life was like a long train ride, some people get off earlier, and perhaps it's best to be grateful for the time spent together?'
Lost in thought, when Naruto looked up, he noticed a familiar small figure heading towards the Hyuga Clan's compound.
"Hinata."
"Ah!"
The sudden voice startled Hinata, but she relaxed when she realized it was Naruto.
The two walked side by side down the street, keeping a small distance between their shoulders.
"Naruto-kun, have you finished your mission?"
Hinata asked while fidgeting with her fingers. But then, as if she remembered something, she quickly stopped and put her hands down, looking uneasy.
"It's okay." Naruto noticed Hinata's little movement, "I was just joking last time, you don't have to worry about it, Hinata-chan."
"Okay…" Hinata obediently clasped her hands behind her back, her gaze unsure of where to settle. She smiled nervously, then her face turned bright red again.
"What about you? Have you been busy lately?"
"Ah, not really." Hinata replied softly. Worried that Naruto might think she was being too perfunctory, she quickly added, "Team 8 is mainly responsible for tracking and reconnaissance, so I haven't had many missions lately."
"Most of the time, Shino was assigned to a mission alone, so I've been focusing on training recently."
The Aburame Clan is indeed very strong, and their abilities in both reconnaissance and combat are outstanding. Moreover, Team 8 is a reconnaissance team specially formed by Sandaime, so Hinata's teammates often got pulled away for various special missions.
"Hinata-chan, you're working really hard."
"No, not really." Hinata quickly lowered her head, "I don't have much talent, so I have to spend more time training. I don't want to hold my companions back."
"Companions are supposed to help each other. There's no need to push yourself too hard." Naruto was in a state of relaxation after the mission. He spoke whatever came to mind, his whole body warm and at ease.
"You can't make everyone happy, so don't belittle yourself. I know you've been working hard to prove yourself, Hinata-chan, but sometimes, it's okay to take a break."
Hinata, as the member of the Hyuga Clan's main family, is not suitable for participating in certain high-risk missions. It's also because the Hyuga Clan's main family's Byakugan is so powerful that it can be plugged in and used at any time like a USB drive.
It would be fine if Hinata was exceptionally talented, but not everyone is a genius.
"Thank you, Naruto-kun. I feel much better now." Hinata said softly, her lips curling into a small smile.
"That's good." Naruto replied with a smile.
He knew that no matter what words of encouragement he offered, Hinata would feel better. Those who are favored always have a bit of confidence.
To be honest, before Sandaime's funeral, because of his status as a Jinchuriki, Naruto didn't dare to have much contact with Hinata, a member of Hyuga Clan's main family, so as not to bring trouble to Hinata.
After Sandaime's death, before he could even catch his breath, Itachi came to capture him. Then came the matter with Tsunade and then Sasuke's defection. It was one thing after another.
"Are you heading home now?" Naruto asked casually.
He had nothing to do at the moment, and if Hinata wasn't going home, they could stroll around together. After all, going home would just mean lying down, so he might as well take a walk with this sweet girl.
"Me? Yes, I'm going home." Hinata replied shyly, "Father sent someone to find me. It seems that he has something to tell me."
"No worries." Naruto said, touching his face and smiling, "I was thinking of walking with you for a bit, but if your father is looking for you, I'd better not. I don't want you to get in trouble because of me."
The Hyuga Clan's compound was just ahead, and there was no point in him going further. Plus, walking together in broad daylight might cause Hinata to get scolded when she got home.
"That won't happen, really." Hinata was a little flustered.
She lowered her gaze and then cautiously looked up, stealing glances at him, clearly nervous. Perhaps she didn't realize it, but this expression was incredibly cute.
Naruto had to resist the urge to pat Hinata's head. After all, in moments like this, randomly patting someone on the head just because they're too cute is almost the same as being a creep.
"Huh?"
"What?" Naruto asked, feeling a bit nervous, thinking he might have been seen through.
"Is it... really not okay?" Hinata stammered, mustering up her courage to ask.
Naruto didn't refuse and took a detour to send Hinata back. Although Hinata didn't say much along the way, she seemed genuinely happy. It wasn't until he watched her disappear into the gates of her home that Naruto finally turned and left.
After returning home, Naruto lay on the couch for a while, his thoughts drifting to the upcoming high-level meeting. After a moment of frustration and restlessness, he slowly closed his eyes.
The wind chimes from the old house that he had brought over still hung in their usual spot on the balcony, ringing softly in the breeze.
The window frame rattled in the summer wind, and the living room was so quiet that he could hear his own steady breathing.
Ding!
A sudden synthetic voice echoed in his mind, jolting Naruto awake. He sat up straight on the couch, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
[Kyubi's approval: 27%]
'The progress increased?'
Naruto, still groggy and confused, hadn't expected the progress to go up. He had been taking things as they came, not actively trying to increase the percentage. While he was happy about the increase... the walk had happened hours ago.
'Why did it only show up now?'
'Was the system malfunctioning?'
Naruto tapped his head a few times but received no response. The wind chimes on the balcony continued to ring, and after thinking it over with no clear answer, he shrugged it off and clutched the blanket, returning to sleep.
