Night fell.
After dealing with the situation inside the house, Luo Mang went straight back to the pocket world.
Only in the pocket world could Luo Mang feel a little safe and at ease. At least he did not have to worry about being assassinated.
After all, he had no way to sense killing intent or predict an attack, did he?
To guard against Hyuga Hiashi lashing out in desperation and attempting an assassination, or some other schemer setting their sights on him, he still had to stay in the pocket world.
He crossed his legs and gazed at the moonlight outside the window, thinking things over.
He recalled what he had gained that day.
His most important gain was probably a kiss from Sakura Haruno.
"I never thought Sakura would be so bold."
Luo Mang smiled. It was not as though he practiced some special cultivation technique that made him cold and unfeeling.
Naturally, he still very much wanted something to actually happen between them.
Nor did he have some cheat for winning women over. If he did, he should have had two top-tier rewards by now. There were two female leads, after all.
But that was not the case.
"Ah..."
Luo Mang sighed softly, feeling regretful.
Fortunately, one reward had come knocking that day.
The most basic kind: a reward for a correct guess.
Konan.
Konan could only have appeared here because of the Diary. Otherwise, she could not possibly have walked around Konoha as a member of the Akatsuki.
She had definitely come with a purpose. Whatever it was, the fact that Tsunade had brought Konan to his place was enough to tell him something. Surely they had not come just for a tour.
Though, admittedly, that day really did seem to have turned into nothing more
