Chapter 145
"Baka… baka!"
"What are you babbling about? I'm a boy!"
"How could I possibly like that big idiot Naruto?"
Sakyo instantly panicked. She hadn't switched her mindset earlier and had spoken to Hinata from a rival's perspective. Had Hinata noticed something abnormal?
Hinata sneaked a glance at Sakyo's flat chest area, feeling a bit shocked inside.
This development… could actually compare to hers.
And this was with it being compressed all the time—if not compressed, wouldn't it be…
Sakyo also noticed Hinata's gaze and instantly realized that Hinata had discovered her true gender long ago.
So Sakyo said to Hinata: "Alright, I'm not pretending anymore—I'll lay it all out!"
"As you can see, I'm a girl, and I hang out with Naruto all the time."
"Plus, we're all at a certain age—some wonderful things happening is normal, right?"
Since her secret was discovered, Sakyo didn't care anymore and started hinting at Hinata in certain ways.
Hearing Sakyo's words, Hinata's little face froze, showing a sad and lost expression.
She was that kind of person—who didn't like competing with others for anything.
At the same time, Hinata's imagination was very rich. She had already elevated Sakyo and Naruto's relationship to boyfriend-girlfriend, or even fiancé-fiancée level…
"So… that's how it is…"
Hinata's voice choked up a bit, her eyes brimming with tears as she stammered.
Sakyo was stunned by Hinata's reaction. She asked Hinata uncertainly: "Uh… are you okay?"
Hinata wiped away her tears and bowed to Sakyo: "I'm sorry for recklessly approaching your boyfriend. It's my fault. I… I'll try to stay away from Naruto-kun."
"Ha? Wh… what??!"
Sakyo was smashed by a huge wave of joy, but thinking about it, something felt off.
She watched as Hinata stumbled away and instantly panicked.
She shouldn't have been so quick-tongued and struck Hinata this hard.
And Sakyo never imagined her two sentences would have such a big impact on Hinata.
Could it be… she really cared about Naruto a lot?
"That's not right!"
Sakyo grabbed Hinata who was about to leave, her expression complicated.
Good grief, was she actually comforting her love rival?
However, if she made Hinata cry and Naruto found out, he'd probably get angry.
With Sakyo's personality, she absolutely didn't want that. But thinking Naruto might get angry or even choose Hinata made her miserable.
Under Hinata's stunned gaze, Sakyo endured the torment and finally said against her conscience: "Actually… um, forgive me—this is too hard to say."
Suddenly Sakyo got frustrated and grabbed her hair: "In short, pretend I never said those words and that you never saw me, hmph!"
With that, Sakyo headed straight toward Naruto's house, leaving Hinata standing there alone.
This left Hinata confused. So… what did Sakyo mean exactly?
…
Knock knock knock~
"Naruto, get up!"
"You're still sleeping? Are you a pig?"
Sakyo knocked with a belly full of anger. Finding no response, she barged right in.
Naruto groggily opened his eyes and saw Sakyo on top of him. He instantly smiled: "Little Black, didn't I tell you not to mess around?"
"Could it be… you have more questions for me?"
Yeah, who else would boldly straddle Naruto but Little Black?
Could it be Sakyo?
What a joke—that dead tsundere Sakyo, how could she be this proactive?
And did Sakyo really have the guts? She wasn't afraid Naruto would eat her up on the spot.
"What Little Black? I'm Sakyo! I came to train with you!"
Seeing Naruto so haggard after not seeing him for a few days, Sakyo instantly felt guilty.
She shouldn't have impulsively woken him up.
Naruto was usually full of energy, with top-notch physique—being this tired showed what he had been through.
"Ah? Little Sakyo?"
Naruto lifted his head to look at Sakyo's position and slowly shook his head: "No no no, it can't be Little Sakyo."
"How could Little Sakyo be this proactive?"
"Right?"
Sakyo's face darkened. The trace of guilt from moments ago vanished without a trace: "What?"
"If it was Little Black, she could be this proactive?"
"Could it be… you and Little Black…?"
Facing Sakyo's questioning, Naruto was fully awake now.
"Holy crap, it really is Little Sakyo-chan?"
Naruto saw Sakyo's expression and instantly… was overjoyed!
Was there such a thing as delivery service?
Naruto's hand slowly reached out from under the blanket, wrapped around Sakyo, and with a flip pinned her down on the bed, holding her tightly.
"Ah~ So fragrant~"
The soft delicate body in his arms seemed to have some power, instantly recharging Naruto and banishing his fatigue.
"You? Mmm…"
Sakyo was about to resist, but Naruto sealed her lips, prying open her teeth…
Five minutes later, Naruto was pushed away hard by the nearly suffocating Sakyo.
Sakyo panted heavily, reached out to wipe her red-bitten lips, her pretty face flushed as she said: "Naruto! What are you doing? I'm asking you a question!"
Naruto looked at Sakyo with a smile, but a system prompt rang in his mind.
