[Idiom: Sparkle treats—dead mail]

[LOL, someone was just saying the next episode would be a swimsuit episode, and now it got banned outright]

[It's over, it's all over]

The goofy netizens were saying weird things again.

Sparkle tilted her head.

Why did she feel like the viewers had assigned her some strange new traits?

Author's Note:

Jingliu's card was changed from "A Sword Drawn Never Returns" to "Transcendent Flash." The Sword Master title felt more fitting than the one from the PV.

Some worlds would be written, but they might not necessarily serve as filming locations.

After all, there was still the market to expand into, hahaha.

I Already Know What Will Happen Next

After saying that, Sparkle released the Chakra attached to her feet and jumped down from the branch.

"Watch out!" "Sparkle!"

Sasuke instinctively held out his hands, while Naruto shouted as well.

They both thought Sparkle had fallen from above and wanted to catch her.

But their movements were too synchronized. They failed to catch Sparkle, while their heads crashed into each other instead.

"Ow! Uh—ah—"

The two shared another earth-shattering kiss.

Meanwhile, Sparkle landed nimbly nearby.

[This feels familiar]

[Fuck, once wasn't enough? They had to do it a second time?]

[I can't take it anymore, my stomach hurts from laughing]

[Sparkle did that on purpose, didn't she?]

[Seriously, these two have some damn good coordination]

Naruto and Sasuke grabbed their own necks and wiped their mouths.

"Anyway, that's the deal," Sparkle said. "If you succeed, I'll ask Teacher Kakashi to teach you some ninjutsu."

Compared to the previous hot spring trip, "ninjutsu" was clearly much more appealing to Sasuke.

"Really?" Sasuke immediately asked.

"Of course. Even if Teacher Kakashi won't teach you, I can teach you some myself. Hmm, how about Fire Style?"

Shiranui-ryu ninjutsu could perfectly fit the world of Naruto. It mainly consisted of taijutsu and Fire Style ninjutsu. Sasuke was currently best suited for Fire Style and Lightning Style, so strengthening those a little would do no harm.

"Then no problem." Of course Sasuke had no problem with that. He only wished Sparkle would give him an even harsher task.

"Don't worry. During this time, I'll have Teacher Kakashi take some easier, less time-consuming missions for you. The pay may not be high, but you'll have enough time to train," Sparkle said.

"But, but..." Naruto raised his hand. "Do we still have to keep doing those boring missions afterward? I want some... really awesome missions!"

"Don't aim too high."

Though Sparkle said that to him, Naruto clearly still wanted to "do something big."

Naruto had yet to experience real danger. Even a traitor like Mizuki had been easily taken down. Under Sparkle's careful planning, he and Sasuke had even gotten Kakashi's bells.

That gave Naruto the illusion that he was very strong.

"Hmm, then let's do this."

Sparkle took two steps backward.

Then she took out a bell and fastened it to her belt.

Next, Sparkle placed her hands in front of herself, clasping them together like a lady.

Compared to before, Sparkle now seemed even more delicate. The girl, as frail as a willow swaying in the wind, simply stood there quietly.

"My kimono isn't just ordinary clothing. It's also restraint gear used for training."

"Right now, my feet can't move at all, and my hands can barely separate. It's like I'm bound by heavy handcuffs and shackles."

"Right now, I can only move my ankles and body. My strength is also suppressed. At most, the strength I can use is equal to that of an ordinary girl who has never trained."

"The time limit is five minutes. If Naruto can take this bell from me, I'll ask Teacher Kakashi to take a C-rank mission for us."

"But if you fail, you'll have to accept punishment and train exactly as I tell you to. How about it?"

[Here it comes, Lady Sparkle's wild words]

[I thought Sparkle's movement technique seemed a little off before. So that was it, hahaha]

[As expected of my wife]

[Sparkle said before that she liked the feeling of being restrained, could it be—]

[It should be compensatory psychology caused by not being able to see. If I get the chance someday, I'll make a video explaining it]

[Fuck, caught an uploader. Where's that Runren psychology video you promised last time? Digging another hole again?]

[An educational uploader watches anime too?]

[This little site was built on 2D culture in the first place. Who says you can't watch anime?]

As soon as the Danmaku heard Sparkle's words, a flood of comments swept across the screen.

"Ha, Sparkle, don't regret this!"

Naruto's eyes lit up.

Meanwhile, Sasuke beside him was utterly shocked.

—The "Weighted Training Gear" on Sparkle's body was probably far more burdensome than what she had given him and Naruto.

Naruto did not think about such abstract nonsense. The moment he heard that he could take on more impressive missions, he was already excited. Once he heard that Sparkle had bound her own limbs, he became completely confident.

[One of life's three great misconceptions]

[I can already see the ending]

[Naruto Uzumaki, your death omen star is shining in the sky]

Naruto charged straight at her.

The sense of déjà vu was so strong that Sparkle could not help recalling how Naruto had pounced on her like this when she had taken the Scroll of Sealing.

Sparkle lightly tapped the ground with her toes and shifted half a step to the side, making Naruto lunge into empty air.

Then Sparkle lightly bumped into Naruto's side as he rushed past, sending him straight into the grass nearby. He seemed not to understand what had happened yet.

"Huh—?"

Unwilling to give up, Naruto tried again, but Sparkle still avoided him.

[Those clear and stupid eyes, hahaha]

[The same look as the college students near my house]

[Stop insulting him, stop insulting him]

Even though her physical strength was suppressed, she had the Byakugan!

When facing Naruto's high-speed charge, Sparkle only needed to apply a little force midway to throw him off balance and make him fall.

If no one saw it, it didn't count as cheating!

"Damn it!"

After failing several times in a row, Naruto grew anxious.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Naruto immediately used the Shadow Clone Jutsu.

However, this move was even less useful.

Sparkle exerted force through her legs and directly "slipped" into the crowd.

Too many Naruto clones instead made it impossible for him to move freely.

Though her legs were bound, it did not affect her jumping. As a member of the Hyuga Clan, she did not fear close combat. With the Byakugan's three-hundred-and-sixty-degree vision, Naruto had no chance of launching a surprise attack. She did not even need the Byakugan; Sparkle's own awareness of her surroundings was already enough to handle him easily.

Sparkle would not be so overconfident against the current Sasuke, but against Naruto with those clear eyes, she could still take him down easily.

"Damn it!"

After realizing that too many Shadow Clones were hindering his battle, Naruto released them.

"Time's up!"

But Sasuke's voice rang out at the worst possible moment.

"Uh—" Naruto froze.

A bright smile appeared on Sparkle's face.

Just as planned.

"Fine, I'll listen to Sparkle." Though he was unhappy about it, Naruto realized that he really could not easily snatch the bell from Sparkle.

And Sparkle currently only had the physique of an "ordinary person." Her hands and feet could not even move.

"I'll train properly," Naruto said.

"It won't just be tree-climbing practice." However, Sparkle spoke again. She intended to add a little something extra. "Naruto, use the Sexy Jutsu. Right, keep the clothes on. Just transform your body."

"Oh, that's easy."

Naruto formed a hand seal and transformed into a twin-tailed girl.

[Actually, I've always thought Naruto's transformed appearance is the real female lead]

[Now that you mention it, I think so too]

[This is the ninjutsu that can even knock out the Third Hokage. Do you understand how impressive that is?]

[I think I know what my wife is going to do]

[As expected of my wife. A Yamato Nadeshiko on the surface, black underneath once you cut her open]

[Too bad she isn't pink-haired, hahaha]

[Do you have a problem with black-haired girls with long straight hair?!]

[Did you notice that if Naruto had transformed into this twin-tailed girl for the previous two kisses, it somehow wouldn't have felt out of place?]

[Peanut, you found the blind spot!]

[Typo. Blind monk, you found the highlight]

[Fuck]

The viewers sent another wave of comments.

But the goofy viewers had caught up with Sparkle's rhythm and more or less guessed what she intended to do.

"Naruto, during your tree-climbing practice afterward, you need to maintain your transformation. Your Chakra control is relatively weak, so you need to train it more."
