Chapter 91
"As for the matter with Uchiha Itachi… personally, I think it's better to wait until you're mentally prepared before I tell you the truth."
"And the last one—about my strength…"
"Little Sakyo, I don't want to lie to you. Yes… there really is a treasure helping me…"
Sakyo's gaze looked a little dazed, as if last night's nightmare had been too vivid and left her overthinking everything.
She frowned slightly and said: "Is that so? You didn't say what the treasure is… looks like it's your secret. I won't ask…"
"And how do you know you took your mother's surname?"
"And about Uchiha Itachi—why do I need to mentally prepare myself?"
Seeing Sakyo looking so confused, Naruto stopped taking advantage of the situation. He released her, pulled the blanket over her, and said gently: "Go back to sleep for a bit."
"Don't worry—I'm always here."
Sakyo said in a dazed voice: "Oh… is that how it is."
Naruto looked at the strangely behaved Sakyo with confusion: "Little Sakyo, you're really acting weird today."
Not only was she not hiding her gender anymore, she had even climbed into his bed on her own. This was truly unprecedented.
Sakyo closed her tired eyes: "Oh~ Is that how it is?"
"What the hell?"
Naruto stared in horror as Sakyo's figure gradually faded. In less than two seconds, she completely disappeared!
That's right—a living, breathing person had vanished right in front of him!
At the same moment, the door to Naruto's room was pushed open.
Another Sakyo walked in with a cold expression: "Naruto, are you a pig? Sleeping this much?"
"We're about to leave—aren't you getting up?"
Naruto's eyelids twitched wildly. He pointed at his bed with one hand and at the Sakyo in the doorway with the other, stammering: "Ah?"
"This… this… you? You?? You you you?"
Sakyo clearly misunderstood. Her delicate little face showed disdain: "Are you crazy? You actually want me to lie there?"
"And more importantly—it's broad daylight! What are you trying to do??"
Naruto hurriedly waved his hands: "No no no! This—you—how are you here??"
"Stop stop stop! Come here—Little Sakyo, come here first!"
Sakyo frowned and walked over to the strangely behaving Naruto, unable to help asking: "Did you lose your mind?"
After calming down, Naruto gathered his thoughts and looked at Sakyo—who was dressed as Uchiha Sasuke:
"Little Sakyo, didn't you just now climb on top of me, say you had a nightmare, and ask me a bunch of questions?"
"I even comforted you. But right before you came in, the you in my room disappeared."
After saying that, Naruto blinked at Sakyo and said sincerely: "You have to believe me—I would never lie to you."
Sakyo looked at Naruto expressionlessly: "I think you really have lost your mind."
With that, Sakyo turned and left without hesitation, leaving Naruto alone in a daze.
"So… what the hell is going on?"
Naruto looked at his bed and instinctively backed away…
"Did I… really see a ghost?"
"System, what's going on? Do you know?"
"Ding~ This kind of question is outside the scope of this system's answers. Please explore it yourself, host."
"System, I can tell you don't know either, right?"
"Ding~ This system can detect the truth."
"System… can we negotiate? Help me detect it?"
"Ding~ Detection requires 1000 system points. Does the host wish to proceed with detection?"
"System, you're really ripping me off!"
After complaining about the system's daylight robbery, Naruto's actions were very straightforward. He said to the system: "Detect!"
