Chapter 152 What is Tomorrow?
After playing a few more rounds, everyone's responses were incredibly diverse and colorful.
Honestly: Who has always been the person you pay the most attention to?
Rock Lee replied: It's Neji! My lifelong rival!
Honestly: Tell me the most touching thing that ever happened to you.
Uchiha Sasuke replied: The word "moved" doesn't exist in my life.
Truth or Dare: Kiss the person of the same sex sitting in the room.
The character Shino Aburame that was drawn: (Silence) (Grabs Kiba Inuzuka, who is trying to escape) (Gentle kiss)
Honestly: Who is the person who makes you feel the most desire to conquer?
Tian Tian replied: Qingzi asked me before if I could save the camera data to a roll.
Honestly: Tell me your thoughts on love.
Hyuga Neji replied: ...I want to slap myself.
A dare: Confess your love to a member of the opposite sex who is present.
Haruko Hayama, whom I drew: I really, really like you! Akamaru!
"Hey! Akamaru doesn't count, does he?" Kiba Inuzuka questioned.
Haruko Hayashima retorted, "How dare you question Akamaru's gender! That's outrageous!"
Akamaru also let out an unhappy howl at its master, and Kiba Inuzuka, defeated by it, angrily took back his words.
Every day, he would look at Rock Lee with exasperation, saying, "You stupid fool who only knows how to be hot-blooded all day long!"
"Why are you cursing me?" Rock Lee was completely baffled.
Tenten glared angrily at Hyuga Neji on the other side, "Neji too, at least explain yourself!"
Hyuga Neji pursed his lips and silently looked away from her, adopting an attitude of refusing to answer.
Tian Tian: I'm such an idiot! How could you two blockheads possibly create a battleground?!
Watching their commotion, Sasuke Uchiha was lost in thought, imagining the scene after the Uchiha coup in the future.
Everyone will know that the Uchiha clan started the rebellion. Everyone will question and rebuke him, no longer showing him trust, no longer wanting to contact him, and no longer calling his name.
The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, was Haruko Hayama's mentor, which means that she and Haruko Hayama would be on opposite sides.
Can he really bear Haruko Hayama's pain?
Sasuke Uchiha stared stiffly at Haruko Hayama, who was smiling brightly beside him, as if trying to remember the last glimpse of her radiance that she was willing to show him.
He is Uchiha Sasuke, he is an Uchiha.
This name, which once filled him with immense pride, now pierced his heart.
"Sasuke, is there something on my face?" Haruko asked, wiping her cheek in confusion as she noticed him staring intently.
“…It’s nothing.” Sasuke Uchiha turned his head away.
How come he never noticed before that he was so happy when he was with them, so happy that now he just wants to escape?
However, let him enjoy this last bit of happiness...
For his clan, for the Uchiha clan, for... his name.
It was getting late, and everyone suggested they go home. As the host, Naruto Uzumaki got up and went to the door to see them off.
As he watched his friends leave one by one, a hint of loneliness crept into Naruto's smile.
Was it because it was too lively today? As I gradually became alone at home, I felt an unusual loneliness.
Noticing that his smile seemed a little forced, Haruko asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, Naruto?"
Naruto scratched his head, admitting embarrassedly, "It feels a bit lonely being all alone."
Haruko was startled in the morning, remembering that the festivities had ended and everyone had gone home to reunite with their families, leaving only Naruto Uzumaki alone in the empty room.
"The room needs cleaning anyway, shall I stay and keep you company?"
Meeting Haruko's smiling eyes, Naruto Uzumaki couldn't help but feel a strange, familiar feeling welling up inside him again.
My heart is pounding, why is that...?
Haruko noticed that Sasuke Uchiha had been watching them, and seeing this as a good opportunity to chat with him, she said, "Sasuke, why don't you stay here and keep Naruto company?"
"Huh? I don't need him to accompany me!" Naruto Uzumaki turned his head away unhappily.
Instead of his usual sharp-tongued retort, Uchiha Sasuke gave a rather indifferent reply: "No, that's enough for now."
He then turned around and walked to a shadowy spot not covered by the warm light from Naruto's room, putting his hands in his pockets so they couldn't see his disheveled appearance.
"I see... Sasuke, see you tomorrow!" Haruko didn't stop him anymore and tried her best to convey her feelings to him.
Naruto Uzumaki sensed his difference and awkwardly said, "Hmph, be careful on your way back, don't fall into a ditch."
Hearing their concerned voices behind him, Sasuke Uchiha's hand in his pocket began to tremble. He was glad he had been prescient, but forgot that wiping away tears also required hands, so he let his tears fall.
In the end, he answered nothing and stepped straight into the abyss ahead.
There's no tomorrow, you two big idiots.
...
Choosing to stay and keep the lonely puppy company, Haruko helps him clean up the mess from the party.
"Naruto..."
"What's wrong, Haruko?"
Haruko turned around helplessly to look at Naruto Uzumaki, who had been following her around.
"If we're going to clean, it would be more efficient for the two of us to do it separately, right?"
Naruto's ears involuntarily flushed pink at her subtle reminder, and he stammered, "But I want to stay by Haruko's side..."
Seemingly sensing that his words were inappropriate, Naruto spoke softer and softer, his eyes fixed on her with bright, watery eyes, hoping she would grant his wish again.
Haruko sighed, amused, and raised her hands to knead his soft cheeks. As Naruto Uzumaki, unaware of what was happening, obediently let her do as she pleased, Haruko felt her heart being struck.
"Help... Naruto is so cute! I love Naruto!"
As soon as she uttered those excited words, Naruto's eyes widened, filled with disbelief and an inexplicable joy.
Haruko said... she likes me?
Haruko likes me?!
The color from Naruto's ear tips spread across his entire face, making him feel dizzy as if he had a fever. Haruko's hand, which had been gently stroking his cheek, still lingered there. With each rub, Naruto's heart fluttered.
He felt a strange sensation suddenly rise within him, and a thrill of excitement rippled through his fingertips. He slowly raised his right hand and grasped Haruko Hayama's wrist, his eyes locked on her.
Haruko thought he was uncomfortable from being rubbed, so she prepared to let go. However, she didn't expect that when she realized her hand was detached, Naruto Uzumaki suddenly pulled her hand far away from his head, and Haruko was pulled into his arms as well.
“Naruto?” Haruko Hayama stared blankly into his unfathomable blue glass eyes.
Naruto released her wrists and instead wrapped his arms around her waist, gradually tightening his grip until Haruko was pressed completely against him.
Realizing she was getting too close, Haruko frantically braced herself on his shoulders, trying to push him away.
Ignoring her resistance, Naruto Uzumaki moved his face closer to hers.
Naruto Uzumaki stopped a few centimeters away from her face, because he noticed the blush rising on Haruko's cheeks, her eyes that she dared not look at him, and even her eyelashes trembling uncontrollably.
A sense of control and pleasure unconsciously rose in Naruto's heart.
He then turned his face away and buried his head in Haruko Hayama's neck, rubbing his fluffy blond hair against hers, his breath hot against her neck.
