Chapter 208: Sounds Likely …
Sumire continued to snore calmly, completely unaware of the intruder. After admiring the girl, Naruto licked his lips and began to whisper:
– Sumire … Wake up … Sumire.
– Mm … – the girl’s eyelashes quivered, but she did not wake up. Naruto continued to whisper her name with a grin.
– Sumire … Hey, it’s time to get up … There is a conversation cutie … Su … – and at the most unexpected moment he reacted sharply and pulled away!
The kunoichi suddenly opened her eyelids, grabbed the kunai from under the pillow and instantly jumped onto the bed, and then shouted out in shock:
“ H-hokage-sama ?! – her stricken face was worth seeing … With a kunai in her hand, all her warlike aura instantly evaporated, and she became meek again, and then embarrassedly removed the weapon behind her back and dropped her head:
“ W-I’m sorry Hokage-sama … Um, ” she was immediately surprised and looked up at him with a puzzled look.
– W-something happened? Why did you come, and even at this hour?
Surprisingly, she quickly pulled herself together, comprehended the situation and did not show particularly obvious excitement. It immediately became clear that she was not one of a timid dozen, even if she tried to play innocence out of herself.
But even if she behaved like a young, embarrassed and even slightly panicked girl, in fact she was squeezing a kunai in her hand and, with a trembling thought, tried to understand where she was wrong! The Hokage’s presence scared her! Sumire was not a light-hearted fool, completely confident in her secrecy, she immediately tried to find a way to escape or extricate herself from the situation. It is foolish to believe that the Hokage just came to visit her, for the sake of an ordinary conversation, and even at this hour. Outside the window, the sun was just beginning to rise, but Naruto’s blue, sparkling eyes did not express any special emotions, moreover, in the past, he did not even pay attention to her! They are both from different worlds, such a meeting is clearly not accidental! The only reason why he could come was related only to her actions …
“He knows?” – Sumire tried to keep her cool, but she didn’t work very well. If the plan fails, all her attempts will be useless! Once everything is revealed, it will mean complete defeat. Chakra has not yet been collected enough … The current Nue, even if he breaks free, his strength will hardly be enough for serious damage to the village, and with Naruto’s presence he will become minimal …
Sumire couldn’t understand, how did he know about everything ?! There was not a single mistake in the plan and her actions! She acted in the most careful way, no one could find out her plans. Is the Seventh Hokage really such a powerful shinobi that he easily revealed all of her plans? The kunoichi couldn’t believe it. From his gaze, her body trembled a little, she just didn’t want to believe that her whole life would end here! That is why, she prepared for the only thing she could go, surrounded by enemies …
The Gozu Tennoo mark on the kunoichi’s back shone with a dim purple light. Beneath the pajamas, the glow was barely visible, even in the darkness of the room. However, Naruto did not pay such attention, he only admired the girl’s face, not showing anger or hostility:
– Sumire, what’s wrong with you? Sit down …
The girl nodded slowly, continuing to hold the mask of indecision, and therefore obeyed and obeyed. She was perfectly aware of the situation now. If Naruto came to grab her, he would do it even faster than she could summon Nue, and if that happens, then this is the end, and the worst! If you obey and behave nicely, trying not to arouse suspicion, then either her guess will be mistaken and Naruto will leave without suspecting anything, or you will be able to buy the moment to call.
When Sumire shyly sat down on the edge of the bed, Naruto used his main skill – a kind smile and amazing charisma of a good guy:
“Hiding a kunai under your pillow is pretty weird, isn’t it?
“ Um, ” Sumire was embarrassed, put her weapon aside and began to touch her fingers cutely, trying to show her embarrassment:
– I … Well, just anything can happen … We still live in a hidden village …
Unwittingly, the girl’s gaze moved to the door, but that very stretch was not there, and before Naruto had time to ask her question, she skillfully raised this topic herself:
– The ninja should always be on guard, so I and … W-well, I’m trying to match … my results in the academy are average, so … W-here …
– So this is training? Naruto nodded understandingly, “ Sounds believable …
“W-believable? H-hokage-sama, you don’t think I’m cheating on you, do you?
Naruto shrugged and said calmly:
– How do I know, Sumire … – he sharply showed his haughty grin: – Or should I call you Sumire Shigaraki?
The kunoichi’s face instantly turned pale! Without hesitation, she instantly started activating the seal on her back, but … Naruto was faster!
Before Sumire even had time to understand what was happening, the Hokage’s hand was on her neck! He was monstrously fast! Unimaginably terrifying speed!
He grabbed her into the castle, and with his other hand quickly struck several blows to her fingers in the back, as a result of which the entire mark of Gozu Tennoo simply went out. He easily blocked her chakra flows and did not allow the problem creature to be summoned, and then calmly grabbed the kunai kunoichi and put it to her neck.
– Quiet. You don’t want to get hurt, do you?
– A?! – Sumire realized in horror that he was holding her too tightly, and any attempts to summon Nue were simply impossible! He blocked her chakrakanals!
“How is this possible ?!” – she knew that she would not be able to hold out for a minute in a battle with someone so strong, but to lose in less than a second … It’s too creepy!
