Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Temari: Oops, It's A Feeling Of Heartbeat
Konoha Street
"Konohamaru, that jutsu won't defeat a Hokage. Next time, I'll teach you a really powerful ninjutsu!"
Naruto sighed, holding his forehead as he looked at the excited Konohamaru.
Despite everything, Konohamaru was like a younger brother to him, now and in the future. His talent as a ninja was impressive, showing signs of genius. After all, he would become a guiding figure for the younger generation in the future.
"A really powerful ninjutsu? Brother Naruto, is there anything more powerful than the Sexy Jutsu?"
Konohamaru looked at Naruto with confusion, his eyes filled with question marks.
Naruto: Is this kid obsessed with seduction jutsus?
"Hahaha... Brother Naruto, I won't interrupt your date with sister-in-law anymore. Moegi, Udon, let's go!"
Seeing Naruto's embarrassed expression, Konohamaru laughed loudly and called his two friends to leave quickly. They had been playing ninja games just a moment ago.
"Naruto, your little brother is so cute! I kind of like him..."
Sakura smiled, appreciating Konohamaru's help. She pretended to be shy, trying to start a conversation. In her heart, she was hinting that she had accepted her new role as 'sister-in-law,' leaving the rest up to Naruto.
Oh, this girl... Is she really trying to lock me down already? Naruto thought, giving Sakura a sideways glance. But I won't let her succeed so easily. I still have to explore my options!
"Let's go, I'm hungry," Naruto said coolly, turning to walk ahead.
Sakura, having received no clear response from Naruto, felt deflated. She followed silently.
"Ow! That hurts... let me go!"
Just as they turned a corner, they heard Konohamaru's screams.
Naruto quickly noticed that Konohamaru was being held up by Kankuro, one of the Sand Village shinobi, just like in the original story. Seeing his little brother in trouble, Naruto's patience ran out.
In an instant, Naruto's figure turned into a blur as he appeared next to Kankuro.
"Watch out!" Temari, Kankuro's sister, called out, her eyes narrowing in alarm. But Naruto moved faster than her voice.
Kankuro suddenly felt a strong force hit his waist. His arm throbbed with pain as he instinctively let go of Konohamaru. His body was flung sideways.
"Wow, that was fast... and he's quite handsome, too," Temari muttered as she raised her fan defensively. Her face flushed slightly as she eyed the blonde ninja cautiously.
"Brother Naruto, you're amazing!"
Konohamaru looked at Naruto with admiration, his eyes sparkling with awe.
"Still causing trouble, huh? You guys never learn," Naruto said, ignoring Konohamaru's praise. He shot a glance at Temari, then turned his gaze to a large tree nearby. "Come out from there. I know you're hiding."
From behind the tree, a cold and eerie voice responded. "Konoha's ninjas... they always get me excited," Gaara, the Jinchūriki of One Tail, said as he stepped forward. His eyes were full of bloodlust as they locked onto Naruto.
Naruto smiled faintly and disappeared again, reappearing beside Gaara in an instant. He patted Gaara on the shoulder and whispered, "Tell Shukaku that Kurama wants to have a chat with him. If he's interested, he can find me anytime."
Gaara's eyes widened in shock. His sand hadn't reacted at all to Naruto's touch, and the boy even knew about his status as the One Tail Jinchūriki! Who was Kurama? Gaara thought, his fear growing.
Temari and Kankuro, now standing, were equally stunned. That boy could touch Gaara without any reaction from the sand? Temari's heart raced. For years, Gaara had terrified her. Could this boy be someone who could control her brother?
Wait... do I have feelings for him? Temari wondered, feeling her heart skip. No, I can't! We're here to attack Konoha!
"Let's go, Sakura," Naruto called out after shaking Gaara. He continued walking down the street, leaving the Sand siblings behind.
He's so cool... Sakura thought, watching Naruto with newfound admiration. He's even more attractive than Sasuke was! How could I have been so blind before? I won't give up on Naruto!
She smiled brightly and quickly followed him.
"Hey, I'm Gaara of the Sand. You're strong. What's your name?" Gaara asked, his sharp eyes locked on Naruto.
"Gaara... I'm Konoha's Genin, Uzumaki Naruto!" Naruto responded lazily, his back still turned as he kept walking.
"Uzumaki Naruto... quite the man," Temari muttered softly, watching Naruto with a small smile.
"Pathetic trash... Get lost!" Gaara's tone suddenly shifted. His cold, ruthless gaze turned on Kankuro as he barked orders, his voice filled with murderous intent.
Without another word, Gaara's body dissolved into sand and vanished.
Kankuro, still holding his injured side, shuddered in fear.
These two... they're monsters! he thought before slowly staggering away.
