This Is a Pervert Who Tricks Innocent Girls!

"What's this?" Naruto looked at her.

"What?" Sakura jumped down from the railing, looking at him curiously. "Didn't we agree to meet this afternoon?"

"Oh, okay." The premonition in his mind disappeared, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "You asked me to do you a small favor before, can you tell me now?"

"Ah, just taking a stroll." Sakura pointed to the still unlit Konohagakure Street further away.

"That kind of thing... doesn't need such a formal request, does it?" Naruto turned and went downstairs first, with Sakura following behind with her hands behind her back, about eight steps apart.

"You probably wouldn't agree anyway, so you're just making up excuses to fob me off." Sakura's tone implied that she was the kind of person who would agree to something like that.

"Um..." Naruto was speechless for a moment, she had guessed correctly.

Given Sakura's previous dangerous remarks, and out of concern for her questionable ethical views, he might actually refuse any of Sakura's invitations to be alone.

It wasn't that he was being pretentious; he simply didn't want to get involved in trouble.

He knew very well that both Temari, that crazy woman, and Sakura were unpredictable sources of explosion. If he were simply acting out of lust, one of them might explode one day.

Aren't Ino and Hinata good enough? They're both gentle, and their greed isn't reckless or mindless. He knows he's a jerk, but he's a jerk in a very clear way.

He's still young and hasn't dated anyone. He's just close to Ino and Ino. Since he hasn't committed to anyone, there's no question of Hinata being two-timing, and there's no question of him being encouraged to date under the guise of something the "divine beast" forbids.

To be honest, this isn't the real world, so he can be a little greedy and want both of them when he's an adult.

Even if we take a step back and assume he's the worst possible person, anyone with a modicum of sense wouldn't have bothered with their own teammates, much less the princess of Sand.

Even when you're courting death, there's a limit. You're guaranteed to gain the friendship of Ino and Hinata, so why risk losing everything by provoking a yandere and a masochist?

Pure friendship is hard to come by. He already had few friends, so he must be out of his mind to play with fire.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Sakura asked.

The two had already walked out of the Hokage Building, dusk stopping at their feet. Naruto looked back, Sakura was still standing two steps behind him, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"No, I was just spacing out," he said casually. "I wouldn't refuse, since it's just shopping. I usually have plenty of free time and I'm not busy."

"That's good." She said with a smile, then deliberately took two steps forward, stood in front of Naruto, and turned back to look at him.

It was a 45-degree turn to the side, perfectly revealing the curve of her neck and jawline, the girl's profile laid bare before him. She made no attempt to hide her cunning, displaying a sweet smile he had never seen before.

"Let's go then!"

"Oh." Naruto shrugged and followed along with an indifferent expression.

"Naruto isn't a good person." As the two walked side by side, Sakura suddenly said this.

Naruto didn't react much. He glanced at her first, then turned his head and asked slowly.

Why do you say that?

"You didn't even argue back first," Sakura complained.

"I'm not exactly a good person, but it depends on the context. In some aspects, my moral standards are quite high," Naruto said.

"Hmm, now that you mention it, I'm a little curious." Sakura's gaze swept over the shops on the street.

Naruto fell silent. Damn it, it seems like there isn't one.

"However, Naruto must have some other charm, otherwise Ino and Hinata wouldn't care about Naruto, right?" Sakura said directly.

"That's true," Naruto shamelessly admitted.

"You admitted it so readily, it hurt me a little," Sakura sighed. "I've heard that guys only admit to having relationships with other girls in front of girls they don't care about."

"Pure friendship," Naruto corrected.

"I'm even more hurt now, I'm about to cry." Sakura stopped and turned to look at Naruto, her face clearly smiling.

"I was here first."

"Don't say such nonsensical things. You clearly only regained control of your body at that time, didn't you? Don't lie through your teeth like I do!"

Naruto couldn't remember the exact time, but Black Sakura personality awakened around ten days after Sasuke's defection. In the cramped duty room of Konoha Hospital, Sakura smiled and asked him who Sasuke was.

"Time flies so fast, a year has passed in the blink of an eye." Sakura continued walking forward with her hands behind her back, without directly responding to the conversation.

"Yeah, more than a year has passed." Naruto sighed, it would be a lie to say he wasn't moved.

If a normal person were to suddenly enter the world of Hokage, they would constantly face unwarranted malice, suspicion, and cold stares. They would watch rows of ninjas leaping across rooftops, breathing fire, spitting water, and unleashing thunder and rain—all sorts of supernatural abilities.

Most normal people would be shocked to the point of questioning their existence if they saw this. Luckily, he had watched Hokage, so he calmed down a bit.

What impressed him most was Shippuden, where the Naruto: Shippuden, Gekko Hayate, died at the beginning. The fight scenes were so captivating that he didn't pay much attention to Naruto's youth, since it was a shonen anime. As long as the fighting was there, who cared about the romance?

But now he's Naruto Uzumaki, a living, breathing human being. When it comes to his own situation, he doesn't want to fight anymore. He doesn't care about shonen anime or whoever is the savior; he's just going to lie low.

Flowers may bloom again, but youth never returns.

He's a teenager now, so let him bloom in Konohagakure!

"I want to eat that!" Sakura suddenly turned around and said to him. Naruto was lost in thought and was startled by Sakura's blushing face.

Damn it, what kind of outrageous things did he say again?

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Takoyaki stall, following Sakura's pointing finger. He was almost scared to death; he was just glad he wasn't going to eat anything weird.

The two approached, Naruto recognized it as the same stall from before. He had bought food there when Sakura's voice suddenly came from behind him; it had been quite startling that time.

"Buy it if you want to eat it." He subconsciously took out his money, but then suddenly remembered that the other person was Sakura, so he took his hand out of his pocket again.

She said last time that she was going to spend Sakura's savings.

I wonder if her small expenses can keep up with the speed at which she earns big money. Sakura's family seems to be quite well-off. If she relies on food, unless she eats top-quality barbecue every meal, Hinata's appetite could eat her out of house and home.

Naruto, oblivious to everything else, suddenly smiled.

"Boss, I want that, and that too." Sakura finished speaking and suddenly turned her head without warning, only to bump into Naruto's smile. She immediately said with dissatisfaction.

"You're not thinking about other girls at a time like this, are you?"

"Yes." Naruto replied confidently. "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I still love Naruto even like this." Black Sakura smiled and said gently, "I'll just be your backup girlfriend."

"Damn it, don't say that in this kind of situation!" Naruto covered Sakura's mouth, looking around in a panic, but it was too late.

Although the surrounding guests didn't say anything, they subtly shifted their bodies away, and when their eyes swept over as if nothing was wrong, the end of their glances carried a hint of disdain, as if to say something.

This is a pervert who deceives naive young girls!

There should be more. I'll take a shower and continue writing... The Qidian client crashed.
