["Come over here!"]
["Don't be afraid!"]
[Seeing that Moegi and Ise Udon didn't come over in reassurance after he spoke, but instead retreated even further, Konohamaru immediately became annoyed.]
[Even... Ise Udon seemed to be trembling...]
["What's wrong?" Konohamaru frowned.]
[At this moment.]
[Sakura had already clenched her fists.]
[She had originally intended to maintain her sweet girl persona in front of Naruto.]
[But with Konohamaru incessantly calling her 'Ugly Woman', she couldn't take it anymore.]
[Sakura immediately took over the account.]
[This is the last straw!]
[Crack—]
[Sakura cracked her knuckles.]
[Suddenly, remembering that it wasn't easy to take over the account, she quickly took a few steps back and returned to Naruto's side.]
[Under Naruto's puzzled and slightly curious gaze.]
[Sakura quickly stood on her tiptoes.]
[Mwah—]
['See that?']
['If you're going to take the initiative, do it properly! It's not like we haven't done it before!']
[After snapping at Sakura, Sakura then contentedly continued walking toward Konohamaru.]
[In her subconscious, Sakura nodded weakly.]
[Then, she focused her attention back on that brat, Konohamaru.]
[Having experienced being mocked for her looks, she was very sensitive about her appearance.]
[Aside from being mocked for her wide forehead as a child, no one had dared to mock her until now.]
[Let alone being called ugly, which was simply inconceivable to her.]
["Brat, who are you calling an 'Ugly Woman'?"]
[Sakura silently approached Konohamaru from behind, cracking her knuckles and staring at him with a forced smile.]
[Hearing this.]
[Konohamaru turned around and looked at her with a face full of confusion.]
["Big Brother Naruto, who is this Ugly Woman anyway?"]
["It's bad enough she's ugly, but is there something wrong with her head too?"]
["It's so obvious, and she still can't tell?"]
[Naruto: "..."]
[Sasuke, standing nearby, was also stunned.]
[What a kid!]
[Sakura has nothing to do with being ugly, right?]
[Sasuke shook his head and turned away.]
[Konohamaru wanted to say something more.]
[In the next second, he felt the world spinning.]
[It felt as if his whole body was floating.]
[With a "thud," he fell over and was out cold.]
[Without a single unnecessary movement.]
["Kono... Konohamaru?!" Ise Udon's eyes widened.]
[He tremulously called out Konohamaru's name.]
[But Konohamaru, lying on the ground, didn't react at all.]
[Wisps of white smoke were still rising from the top of his head.]
[His eyes were rolled back into his head.]
[Then, a visible "bump" began to swell on top of Konohamaru's head.]
["Konohamaru!" Moegi also showed some superficial concern.]
[But in action, she retreated instead of moving forward.]
[Gulp—]
[To be honest, for a split second, Moegi was tempted by Konohamaru's words.]
[But fortunately, she stopped herself in time.]
[Now, looking at Sakura's small pink fist that was still emitting wisps of white smoke.]
[Moegi felt like she had narrowly escaped a disaster.]
[So violent... even Big Sister Ino isn't this scary.]
[It was as if Moegi was seeing Sakura for the first time.]
["Hmph!"]
["Foul-mouthed brat, dare to say another word... hmph!"]
[Sakura snorted coldly.]
[However, before she could finish, her anger subsided slightly, and Sakura regained control of her body.]
[After glaring fiercely at Konohamaru, her beautiful eyes flashed with warning as she glanced at Ise Udon.]
[Ise Udon was so scared he immediately stood at attention.]
[Her gaze swept toward Moegi.]
[Moegi also quickly straightened up, not daring to move.]
[Sakura finally clapped her hands in satisfaction.]
[The moment she turned around, the fierce expression on her face vanished instantly.]
[In its place was the sweet smile Naruto was most familiar with.]
Sakura Haruno: "..."
"Big Sister Sakura... is such a good actress~"
Hmm?!
Sakura's eyes widened as she looked toward the source of the voice.
She saw Little Hanabi hiding in Ino's arms, looking at her with a "face full of fear."
That pitiful little look made Sakura's rising anger vanish instantly.
"Pfft~"
"Shh~ Hanabi, don't be so loud, or else the petty person will get angry if they hear you."
"Mm~" Little Hanabi nodded cutely.
Sakura: "..."
[She naturally linked her arm with Naruto's.]
["Let's go, Naruto~ Brother~"]
[Naruto: "..."]
[The voice was so cloyingly sweet that it gave Sasuke goosebumps.]
[The contrast between before and after was too great.]
[Seeing that Sakura was no longer paying attention to them.]
[Moegi and Ise Udon quickly stepped forward to check on Konohamaru's condition.]
["Konohamaru... are... are you okay?" Ise Udon stammered.]
[Then he shook Konohamaru.]
[But Konohamaru didn't react at all.]
[Moegi immediately grew anxious.]
["Move aside!"]
[Moegi pushed Ise Udon away.]
[Then she raised her small hand.]
[Slap—!!!]
[A crisp slapping sound rang out.]
[Ise Udon: "..."]
[Why is even Moegi like this...]
[Girls are the most terrifying creatures in the entire Ninja World.]
[Soon, a small handprint appeared on Konohamaru's face.]
[At the same time, Konohamaru's eyes stopped rolling back.]
["Ugh... I... why do I feel like... like I saw my grandma again?"]
["Ugh... it hurts..."]
[Konohamaru's eyes were a bit dazed, and then he subconsciously touched his face and head.]
[The pain made him instantly snap awake.]
["Damn it... hiss~!"]
["It hurts so much, that person... isn't a woman at all... she's a total monster!"]
[Konohamaru grimaced in pain, yet his mouth seemed to have learned nothing as he continued to chatter away.]
[The result?]
[Buzz—]
[In an instant.]
[Moegi and Ise Udon sensed a familiar gaze.]
[Their bodies stiffened, and they immediately used Body Flicker to get away from Konohamaru.]
[The killing intent, which was almost tangible, made both Moegi and Ise Udon break out in a cold sweat.]
[It just has to be you, Konohamaru.]
[Whoosh—]
[Konohamaru was still rubbing the large bump on his head, muttering to himself.]
[Sakura had appeared behind him again at some point.]
["I didn't hear you clearly. Say that again."]
[A voice devoid of any emotion rang out.]
[Konohamaru's whole body shuddered.]
[Then he twisted his stiff neck to look back.]
[He saw Sakura showing that forced smile again.]
["Ug... Fairy Big Sister~"]
[Konohamaru immediately changed his tune.]
[His face changed faster than a Transformation Jutsu.]
[Unfortunately, Sakura's fist was already halfway raised, and it wasn't so easy to stop.]
[Run!]
[Without a moment's hesitation.]
[Konohamaru let out a scream like a slaughtered pig.]
[Using both hands and feet, he scrambled away in terror.]
["Ahhh~!!!"]
[Ise Udon and Moegi didn't even dare to look.]
[Hearing Konohamaru's scream, they also fled immediately.]
[How could they possibly care about Konohamaru now?]
[Not getting caught in the crossfire was the most important thing.]
[That speed...]
[Sakura's lips twitched, then she clapped her hands, "Hmph!"]
["Stinky brat, don't let me see you again, or I'll beat you every time I see you!"]
[With that, Sakura also performed a seamless face change.]
["Naruto~ Brother~"]
