164: Chapter 164 Illusion InfiltrationThe air on the small boat was thick with the smell of gunpowder.
Temari was pinned down by Naruto; the two had just finished an exceptionally intense wrestling match.
Three buttons on Naruto's shirt popped off, and the collar was askew.
Temari's fishnet chainmail was torn and deformed, her shoulder straps slipped down, her short skirt was wrinkled and curled up, and her golden ponytail had long since come undone, with strands of hair sticking messily to her sweaty cheeks.
"You.bastard!"
Temari gasped for breath, gritting her teeth.
Her hands were still pinned above her head by Naruto, and he used his weight to press her down firmly, making it impossible for her to move.
Naruto was also panting, but it wasn't that he was particularly tired.
The main reason was that during the scuffle, certain uncontrollable contact and visual impacts made his heart beat too fast.
"Are you calm now?" he asked, swallowing hard.
"Shut up my head!" Temari glared at him fiercely."Let me go!"
What if I let go and then you hit me again?
"I promise I won't hit you!" Temari was both ashamed and angry, and struggled fiercely.
But the more she struggled, the more strange a feeling arose within her.
Naruto gasped, looking down at the shapely, powerful curves.
Temari noticed his gaze, her face turning even redder, filled with a mixture of shame and indignation: "You're still looking!"
"Go to hell!"
She suddenly looked up, her forehead slamming into Naruto's nose.
Naruto was prepared; he tilted his head, and the upward headbutt struck his shoulder.
Then he turned his head and quickly kissed her on the lips.
Temari tilted her head back, her eyes wide open, filled with disbelief.
Time seemed to stand still, with only the breaths of the two of them mingling.
"Ah!I.I'll kill you!"
Temari let out an even angrier scream than before, twisting her whole body, struggling to break free of one hand, and clenching her fist to smash it towards Naruto's face.
Naruto released his grip on her and rolled over to the side.
Temari hurriedly scrambled up from the deck, staggering back several steps until she leaned against the ship's railing, her heart pounding.
She raised her hand to wipe her lips, her eyes practically spitting fire.
"You.you."
She hesitated for a long time, unable to bring herself to say the curse.
Naruto sat to the side, tugged at his tattered shirt, and pouted, "It was you who wanted to do it."
"That's because you're not doing your job during the day!"
"I am inspecting the environmental safety of the waters near the Land of Waves."
"Examine my foot!" Temari stomped her foot."What's going on between you and Ino?How many women have you messed with, you bastard?"
She turned her face away angrily.
The sea breeze blew, making her disheveled blonde hair even more messy.
Naruto walked over to her and leaned against the railing.
"Temari".
"what?"
"Thank you for coming to help ahead of time."
Temari snorted but didn't reply.
The two remained silent for a while.
Temari secretly glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.
Naruto is now much more muscular, and his fashion sense is far better than before.
That look.is indeed quite appealing.
She quickly looked away, muttered a curse to herself, and calmed herself down a little.
"that..."
Temari awkwardly began, "I was indeed a bit impulsive just now.I shouldn't have used Wind Release to attack the ship directly.It would have been bad if I had hurt someone."
She spoke with great reluctance; this was the biggest concession she could make.
Naruto turned to look at her, grinning, and said, "You know you were wrong?"
"Who's wrong!" Temari immediately bristled.
"I'm saying my method was wrong!It's not that you don't deserve a beating!"
"Okay, okay."
Temari took a deep breath, suppressing the panic in her heart, and turned around to tidy herself up.
Pull up the chainmail shoulder straps, smooth out the fishnet part, and pull down the short skirt and straighten it.
Her hair was completely beyond saving, so she simply ripped off the hair tie, combed it a few times with her fingers, and let her long hair fall loosely over her shoulders.
After she finished doing all this, her breathing calmed down, and she returned to her usual capable and spirited demeanor.
"I'm going back."
After Temari finished speaking, without waiting for Naruto's response, she pushed off the railing with her feet, leaped up lightly, and landed steadily on the bow of the Sand Village ship, which was more than ten meters away.
The Sunagakure genin were already stunned.When Temari returned, they quickly lowered their heads and pretended to be busy, none of them daring to ask any questions.
Temari had her back to Naruto's ship, arms crossed, and long hair flowing in the wind.
"keep going."
The Sand Village's ship slowly adjusted its direction and headed towards the Land of Waves' dock.
Naruto's small boat started its engine and followed slowly beside him.
Ino stood at the bow of the boat, looking at Temari's back on the opposite boat, then at Naruto on her own boat, whose clothes were disheveled.Her little mouth was so pouty that it could hang an oil bottle.
When Naruto came over, she immediately went up to him, took his arm, and pressed her whole body against him.
"Naruto."
Her tone was soft, but with obvious jealousy, "You and that Temari from Sunagakure.did you.you know.too?"
"What do you mean, 'that'?" He chose to play dumb.
"That's the one!"
Ino looked up at him, her face full of grievance, "Otherwise, why would she get so angry as soon as she saw us, and even fight with you?And.and you were on the deck just now."
She couldn't continue.
Naruto sighed and reached out to pull her into his arms.
Don't overthink it.
He stroked her hair."It's just a misunderstanding.She has a short temper and likes to hit people when they meet."
"real?"
"real."
Ino was still somewhat skeptical, but as she leaned against Naruto, her unease gradually subsided.
She looked up, then suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed him.
Naruto paused for a moment, then responded.
The sea breeze is gentle, and the waves are soft.
In the small cabin, only the soft sounds of their lips entwining and their increasingly rapid heartbeats could be heard.
After a while.
Ino's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were watery, and she leaned against Naruto's chest, breathing softly.
"Naruto."
"Um?"
Will you always be good to me?
"meeting."
"Then.then you're not allowed to flirt with other girls anymore."
MingHe didn't say anything, but kissed her forehead again.
The two ships entered the port of the Land of Waves one after the other.
People were already waiting at the dock.
Shizune was holding Ton-Ton, with Sakura standing beside her, hands on her hips.
The two were somewhat bewildered when they saw the dilapidated state of Naruto's flashy boat: the broken mast, the tattered awning, and the dented railings.
"This is." Shizune pushed up her glasses, ".a pirate attack at sea?"
"I think someone has gotten into trouble again."
Sakura gave a soft snort, her gaze sweeping over Naruto and Ino as they disembarked from the ship, before turning to Temari, who was walking off another ship.
For some reason, seeing Naruto being entangled with other women stirred up a strange desire in her heart to get closer to him and be cared for by him.
Temari has tidied herself up.
She managed to straighten her chainmail with the fishnet, and her short skirt was also pulled and smoothed out, except for the abnormal blush on her face.
She jumped off the boat, walked up to Shizune, and nodded slightly: "Temari, from the Sunagakure delegation, has been ordered to assist in the preparations for the ceremony."
"welcome."
Shizune responded gently, "I am Shizune, in charge of logistics coordination.This is Sakura, the head of the medical department."
Hello.
Sakura smiled and nodded at Temari, but her eyes involuntarily drifted towards Naruto.
Naruto was embracing Ino as they disembarked from the boat, their behavior intimate.
The image made her heart race and her cheeks flush.
She bit her lip, then suddenly mustered her courage.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, he quickly approached and embraced Naruto.
"President, you're back!"
Her voice was sweet and soft, and she pressed herself against Naruto as if she wanted to embed herself into him.
This bold move made her heart pound; excitement and longing surged within her.
A peculiar fragrance emanated from Sakura.
"Sakura?" Naruto looked down at her in confusion.
"I.I just want to hug the president."
Sakura's voice trembled, and she hugged him tighter and tighter, "You haven't been here these past few days, I.I miss you so much."
As he said this, he secretly winked at Ino, his expression defiant.
Ino released Naruto's hand, stood up straight, crossed her arms, and looked coldly at Sakura.
"Sakura," Naruto patted Sakura's arm, which was tightly wrapped around him, "loosen your grip, it's a bit too tight."
Sakura looked up at him, the unique, warm fragrance becoming more pronounced as she breathed."Doesn't the student council president like it?"
Tun Tun in Jingyin's arms sneezed slightly, her little nose twitching as if she was a little confused by the sudden pheromones.
Naruto felt a surge of heat as he was surrounded by the fragrance.
He patted her again instinctively, but he didn't control the force well and the angle was a bit off.
A crisp "pia" sound.
"Mmm~♡"
Sakura let out a soft, coquettish whimper, as if all her strength had been drained away, her bones felt weak, and she slid down, barely holding on by the hands that were holding onto Naruto.
Naruto quickly reached out and put his arm around her.
Temari finally couldn't stand it anymore; the strange fragrance and the scene before her made the veins on her forehead throb.
She stepped forward and kicked Naruto in the back of the leg.
"You scumbag!What are you doing in broad daylight?"
After she finished cursing, she turned and left, her ponytail swinging in a graceful arc.
"Temari-sama, wait for us!" The Sunagakure genin hurriedly followed, and a few of the boys secretly glanced back, their faces slightly red.
Sakura finally came to her senses in Naruto's arms, realizing what kind of sound she had made and her strange, limp reaction.
"I'm so sorry, President!I.I didn't mean to!"
She stood up abruptly, took two steps back, and lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone.The peculiar fragrance quickly faded away as she retreated.
Shizune, holding Tuntun, looked at the mess and shook her head helplessly.
"Um… Sakura, take them there to the Sand Village delegation's residence."
"Yes, Sister Shizune!"
Sakura felt like she'd been granted a pardon and, not daring to look at Naruto again, quickly ran after Temari.
Shizune hesitated for a moment, then finally turned and left with Tun Tun in her arms.
She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would be unable to resist hitting Naruto with Ton-Ton.
Night was falling.
The Land of Waves was bathed in a warm yellow light, and vendors began setting up various snacks on the streets.
Meanwhile, on a forest path thirty miles from the Land of Waves, a group of twelve people were traveling in the night.
They wore traditional clothing from the Land of Grass, and headbands bearing the name of the Hidden Grass Village on their foreheads.
The middle-aged ninja in the lead shouted a command.
"Speed up and get to the Land of Waves within two days."
"Yes, Captain," everyone responded.
At the end of the group was a young ninja who looked to be in his early twenties.
His name is Takemoto, a genin from Kusagakure, who came with the delegation as an attendant to observe the ceremony.
As we rounded a bend, we heard rustling sounds coming from the bushes beside us.
Takemoto subconsciously turned his head to look.
In the shadows of the woods stood a person wearing a vortex mask.
The man was dressed in a black robe, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Takemoto's lips twitched, as if he wanted to call out to his companions.
Before a sound was made, the masked man's single eye looked over.
The three magatama beads rotated slowly.
Takemoto felt a buzzing in his head, and his consciousness quickly blurred.
He stood there, frozen, his eyes vacant, as if he had become a puppet.
Obito slowly walked up to Takemoto.
Pale fingers gently touched Takemoto's forehead.
"Go to sleep."
Bamboo fell softly to the ground.
Obito crouched down.
"The art of erasing facial features."
A few seconds later, Obito's face transformed into Takemoto's appearance.
Obito got up and changed into Takemoto's clothes and headband.
Then he bent down, dragged the unconscious Masakimoto deep into the woods, and buried him simply.
After doing all this, he walked back to the path and quickly caught up with the group that had already gone far ahead.
"Takemoto, where did you go just now?" a companion asked, turning around.
"I took a break."
Obito answered, mimicking Takemoto's voice.
"Hurry up, don't fall behind."
