Naruto: I Am Not Really Related - Chapter 501
“Uh, buddy, what’s this…”
“Ah, sorry about that. You were struggling to find people, so I called a good buddy to help fill in the numbers.
“Good buddy? Are you sure it’s a buddy? Why does it sound like a woman’s voice to me?”
“Yeah, my buddy is a woman. What’s the problem? It’s 1991, and there can’t still be people stuck on gender discrimination, right?”
Eyeglasses man was rendered speechless, then couldn’t help but continue to ask, “So, what do you mean by having her come to chop you?”
“Oh, that? It’s a symbol of our friendship, just like normal people ‘shake hands’ or ‘hug,’ we start fighting as soon as we meet to elevate our feelings. So later, don’t be too shocked if you see me and my buddy fighting. We’re just messing around.”
“Ah? Oh! That can’t be. Your… brotherly affection is exciting, haha.”
If someone reliable could be called, that would naturally be best and prevent wasting more time here.
As for these two people sticking together, he didn’t mind at all.
And then, just in a few sentences, a ‘meteor’ streaked across the sky and slammed down in front of them.
No pleasantries or greetings!
The ‘good buddy’ Biscuit Krueger immediately charged over, “Kite!”
Haru, well-prepared, immediately made a baseball swing motion, but oddly, he had nothing in his hand.
“Let’s go!”
With a fierce swing!
Shaiapouf’s bizarre Nen ability suddenly appeared in Haru’s hand, catching Biscuit off guard!
Bang!
Biscuit’s petite body was immediately sent flying back even faster.
Around them was the sound of everyone sharply inhaling.
It wasn’t shock at Haru’s strength, nor did the strange weapon materialize.
But somewhat, they were astonished that he could hit so hard!
The opponent was such a cute little Loli!
I do not like it, so why don’t you just give her to us, jerk?
At this moment, who knows how many people were feeling sour?
They thought what was said earlier about ‘come and chop me’ and ‘have a fight’ and ‘good buddy’ was just playful banter meant to lure the dog in to kill it!
And who’s the dog, if you have to ask?!
“Brother, stop playing. Help me with a mission, and afterward, I’ll give you the [Lost Red Gem] and [Fortuitous Alexandrite Gem] you’ve always wanted. How about that?”
“Thief, liar, if I trust you again, I’m a dog! Kite!”
Biscuit charged back without a second word. The previous move, although abrupt, was still well-defended by her.
Thief, liar?
The people’s gaze towards Haru started to turn slightly.
And then Haru sighed helplessly, looking off into the distance, and said slowly, “Yes, I admit I stole your heart. But we have no future, so why can’t you forget about me?”
Damn, this dog food is so salty!
Sour, just sour, and that’s it!
And Biscuit, of course, was so angry she was smoking from all seven orifices and began a series of continuous moves, forcing those around her to stay away from the center of trouble quickly, then revealing expressions that enjoyed the spectacle.
Well, only popcorn and soda needed to be included.
“Hey, that’s enough. This mission is about obtaining the SS-level designated card ‘One Square Meter of Coastline.’ Don’t say I don’t look out for you.”
“I don’t care! I just want to beat your dog’s head right now!” Biscuit said through gritted teeth.
Haru laughed, “Even your master Netero wouldn’t dare say that, but you sure have guts.”
Because of the unexpected mention of a name, Biscuit was suddenly stunned.
Then her expression became highly solemn, “Who exactly are you?”
“If you have time, go ask that old man yourself. But it’s not me saying this. Although well practiced, your [Heart Origin Flow] is still far from the old man’s. If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn’t even have a chance to transform.”
Biscuit’s face changed, ready to transform into her most vital form.
But it was as if she had violated some taboo, the murderous and hateful aura suddenly suffocating her, like a vast, ferocious ghost face swallowing her whole.
Cold, endless cold!
The transformation was forcibly stopped. Everything vanished as if nothing had happened.
But the cold sweat on Biscuit’s face had not yet had a chance to be wiped away.
What frightened her even more was that her opponent traced a circle on her back with a fingertip, giving her goosebumps.
This meant that if her opponent wanted to kill her, he only needed to apply a little force…
And then he could pluck out her heart!
Such terrifying Nen, such horrifying strength!
For some reason, Biscuit suddenly remembered when she first became Netero’s apprentice.
Chairman Netero gave her a mountainous, overwhelming pressure, making it impossible for her to even think about opposing him.
And although this guy didn’t seem like a mountain, he was like a tsunami crashing towards her!
Even more despairing!
Slap, slap…
“Alright, no more messing around, there you go~”
Haru, acting as if nothing was wrong, patted Biscuit on the head, then, like a puppeteer, pulled her along as they walked back.
“Let me introduce everyone. This is my good buddy, Bikini…”
“It’s Biscuit, damn it!”
Biscuit instinctively shouted out loud, then shrugged off the large hand pressing on her head.
Even if she gave it her all, she might not be a match for this guy.
She wouldn’t just let him have his way!
At worst, it would just be death!
“Oh, sorry, I got used to calling you that.” Haru showed a naive smile as if they had known each other for a long time.
The eyeglasses guy and others were fooled!
Only Biscuit herself knew. She didn’t know this guy at all!
They had only met twice, after all.
But this time, she was more thoughtful and didn’t reveal his true nature.
After all, this was just a game. Having a few cards stolen wasn’t an irrevocable hatred.
Biscuit now just wanted to escape this dangerous guy as quickly as possible!
So she accepted it even if it meant ‘humiliatingly’ playing along with this jerk’s act.
And when it came to acting, Biscuit, who usually played the cute little loli every day, was a professional!
Seeing Biscuit ‘getting into character,’ Haru’s eyes brightened, “Not bad, not bad, a teachable child.”
Diamond Barbie wasn’t his type, but Biscuit’s support abilities and personal strength were still commendable.
In adventure games like this, as the main character, how could he not have companions?
Even if they were just temporary…
