For Kanami, Sasuke Was Going to Fight Naruto!

Before long, five minutes had passed.

Four of those minutes had been spent in the shade.

Only the first minute had been spent baking beneath the sun.

"..."

Kanami spoke. "Want to make up a few more minutes?"

Gyūki, the Eight-Tails, shook his head shyly. "N-No need."

The embarrassment of being caught red-handed made him unwilling to remain at Kanami's side for even another second.

"Alright, then."

This time, before Kanami had even used much strength, Gyūki, the Eight-Tails, crawled into Kanami's body on his own.

Hinata Hyuga had already changed into an outfit better suited for combat.

Kanami took Hinata Hyuga's hand.
