Fortunately, they had chosen a high spot for a better view; otherwise, they might have been among those miserable ones.
"Hey, are they going to be okay?"
Kiba couldn't help but sweat. "Being stepped on by so many people..."
"Don't worry, although there are minor injuries, their vital signs are normal."
Neji, after using his Byakugan to confirm everyone's vital signs, deactivated it.
"Really a bunch of crazy people."
Shikamaru suddenly thought of his own mother. "Women, what a troublesome bunch."
Thinking of how his father acted so meekly in front of his mother, he felt pessimistic about his future marriage prospects.
"Takumi-kun! Pick me! Pick me!"
Sakura, having unknowingly rushed to the front, vigorously raised her hand, waving it to attract Takumi's attention.
"Takumi-kun! Don't pick this forehead-girl! Her hair is too coarse, not worthy of your precious hands touching it!"
Ino frantically belittled Sakura's hair while raising her own hand even higher: "Takumi-kun! Pick me! My hair is yours to do with as you please! Just like my heart!"
"You Ino-pig, how dare you say my hair is coarse?!"
Sakura immediately pressed her forehead against Ino's.
"Your hair is like weeds, it's obvious you don't take care of it! How can that kind of hair be worthy of Takumi-kun's precious hands?! That's a crime!"
Ino refused to back down, pressing back against Sakura.
"Damn it! I spend an hour every day carefully maintaining it! You, on the other hand, just tie your hair in a ponytail every day because you're too lazy to take care of it!"
Sakura retorted with all her might.
Takumi ignored the fierce struggle between Sakura and Ino below.
In fact, his gaze had been fixed on one person all along.
It was because of her that he suddenly made this proposal.
If he didn't invite her up, wouldn't his proposal be wasted?
"I have felt everyone's enthusiasm."
Takumi spoke platitudes, his gaze quickly sweeping across the crowd before settling on a certain person hidden among them. "Although I would like to cut everyone's precious hair..."
"But time is limited, and the main attraction today isn't me. As a demonstration, I can only choose one lucky customer."
"Now, I have already chosen that customer. However, those not chosen don't need to worry. I will come here often in the future and randomly select a few customers to cut their hair."
After slightly calming the crowd that was about to erupt again, Takumi extended his hand towards Konan. "Alright, that lady with the light purple hair, please come up here."
Konan was startled.
She didn't expect Takumi to pick her out of the crowd.
'Should I leave?'
She thought quickly.
'If I left like this, it would definitely arouse suspicion.'
'My identity might not be exposed yet.'
'But if I suddenly left now, the chance of exposure would be high.'
'Just go for it!'
Konan secretly gritted her teeth.
She was actually looking forward to it a bit.
Having Takumi personally cut her hair would be the most intimate contact she had ever had with him.
This made her heartbeat gradually accelerate.
She lowered her head slightly, as if shy, and quickly walked up the steps.
She could clearly feel the hostile gazes of the women behind her.
But she didn't care.
What she cared about was the contact with Takumi.
And being this close, she could better observe Sasori's situation.
Then she could report back more accurately.
"Damn it! How could Takumi-kun pick such an unremarkable woman?"
Sakura was dissatisfied, staring at Konan's back with increasing displeasure.
"Exactly!"
Ino was also dissatisfied, standing with Sakura, arms crossed. "What's so good about a woman like that? Sure, her chest is a bit bigger! Mine will grow too!"
As she spoke, she glanced at Sakura, then revealed a mocking look, the corners of her mouth curling into a sarcastic arc.
"Where are you looking?!"
Sakura turned her head and immediately exploded!
Although similar in age, Sakura was indeed far behind Ino in terms of figure.
But they both still had plenty of room to grow.
"Nothing, just looking at a poor kid."
Ino mercilessly taunted, and was promptly headbutted by Sakura.
"Damn it! What are you doing!"
Ino refused to give in, and the two continued grappling.
But the crowd completely ignored them.
As Takumi led Konan inside, the crowd gathered around the shop.
They had gotten Takumi's promise.
From now on, they would definitely stake out the shop every day, waiting for Takumi's possible visit, and become the lucky one he chose.
That's how crazy women can get for their idol.
"This way, we can't see anything at all."
Naruto said helplessly, watching the crowd blocking the door and windows, completely obscuring their view.
"Byakugan!"
Neji immediately activated his Byakugan.
"Ah! You're so sneaky!"
Naruto pointed at Neji and shouted, then lunged forward to disturb him. "Damn it! If I can't see, you don't get to watch either!"
"Childish."
Shikamaru said helplessly, picking his ear, then...
Jumped onto the rooftop, using Chakra to adhere to his feet, and hung upside down to look through the window.
"Good idea."
Choji said, following his friend's lead, joining Shikamaru with a bag of chips.
"Wait for me!"
Lee and Tenten also jumped up.
The others followed suit.
Only Naruto was still pestering Neji.
"They've all left already! You idiot!"
Neji had a terrible headache.
Naruto was too good at being unreasonable.
And the Byakugan was his Kekkei Genkai. What was wrong with him using his own Kekkei Genkai?
If you don't have it, shut up!
"Damn it!"
Naruto turned and saw the others hanging upside down from the eaves like bats, and got really angry.
They had taken up all the space, leaving no room for him.
"Move over!"
He shouted, charging forward recklessly.
And the spot he crashed into, unfortunately, was exactly where Shikamaru was.
"Wait, don't, ah!"
Shikamaru's expression changed drastically, but before he could react, Naruto slammed right into him.
The powerful impact sent them both crashing through the newly installed glass, tumbling into the shop.
After a roll, they landed at Takumi's feet.
"..."
Takumi looked at them speechlessly, then looked up at the broken glass, his speechlessness growing.
The renovations had just been finished, and now these two guys had damaged it so quickly.
Luckily, it was just a window.
Shikamaru quickly got up and moved to stand behind Kakashi, looking elsewhere, whistling, as if he had nothing to do with it.
