Chapter 150 Sasuke: Naruto, are you playing with fire?
After Hinata finished speaking, the other three, who had been looking forward to it, all turned their attention to Kakashi, who was looking at the table.
Kakashi: Look, this table! Wow, it's a real table!
...
"Okay, okay, I was just trying to create some mystery for you guys.
Honestly, why are you all looking at me like I'm a scammer?"
Kakashi touched his white fur and said a little embarrassedly.
The main problem is that the way Sasuke and several others look at him has changed from a respectful teacher to trash next to a garbage can.
"Ahem, could you please take us to see this hornet's nest, Naoko?"
Kakashi changed the subject.
"Oh, please follow me."
Naoko nodded, got up from her chair, walked to a door with a gauze curtain, and parted the curtain.
"This is the door that leads directly into the garden.
I installed screens on the windows because I was worried about bees getting into the house.
It really saved my life."
Naoko explained to everyone.
"If I hadn't installed it, I might have been stung before I even noticed the wasps."
After saying that, she pushed open the door and led the group into the garden.
Wow, it's so beautiful!
Naruto looked at the garden where flowers of various colors were blooming in competition, his eyes shining, and even the resentment he had felt for being tricked by Kakashi dissipated somewhat.
"Oh, roses, Aunt Naoko, may I smell them?"
Karin saw a patch of bright red roses, the same color as her hair, and was instantly captivated.
"Of course you can.
You can pick a few to take home as a gift from your aunt."
"Naoko said with a smile."
"But be careful, after all, I don't know if there are wasps hiding over there."
"And you guys are the same."
Naruto and Hinata nodded.
After all, everyone loves beauty, and who doesn't like pretty flowers?
I'll ask Aunt Naoko how to care for flowers later.
Besides, Mom really wants those roses over there.
"Son! Mom wants those roses over there!!!"
Kushina's voice went directly into Naruto's mind, and it was clear that Kushina was extremely excited.
"Let me tell you, this is the very thing your father used to propose to me back then."
Looking at the bright red roses, Kushina couldn't help but recall the time when Minato was pursuing her.
Ah! How I miss it! How could I have died so suddenly? Seriously, I didn't even get to go on a trip to the ninja world with Minato.
Minato glanced at the bright red rose, then looked at Kushina and smiled gently.
Minato doesn't understand flowers, but he does understand Kushina.
That's enough.
"Hey, I've grown flowers before too, why don't you guys look at mine?"
Hashirama looked at the two "people"—one looking at the rose and the other at his wife—and said somewhat speechlessly.
Kurama's lips twitched, and the image of Hashirama's flower appeared in his mind.
You should plant fewer of those big, pink, pollen-laden flowers.
Pollen is poisonous, and these things are so big, who would you give them to?!
No, that size... could it be...?
Could it be that Hashirama's wooden puppet was given to Madara's Susanoo?
No wonder it's such a big size, and it's played with so many fancy tricks.
Hashirama always felt that Kurama was thinking something bad, but he couldn't bring himself to hit him for no reason.
It's so annoying.
If only Madara were here, he could just let Madara beat it up.
The scene shifts back to the outside, where Hinako has entered the protective enclosure, which is made of gauze and a wooden frame.
The gauze supports the ground, preventing wasps from forcibly entering.
"Do you want to come in?
Getting stung by wasps is a real hassle."
Naoko asked the others, sounding a little worried.
"It's alright, I have faith in my disciples."
Kakashi said proudly from inside the protective shield.
"Huh?!
Kakashi-sensei, what are you doing inside?!"
Karin pointed at Kakashi and exclaimed in surprise.
"Well, today's task is yours to do, so do your best to complete your first task."
Kakashi smiled with narrowed eyes, then began talking to Naoko inside the protective shield.
Soon enough, the two hit it off and went back inside to have tea.
The four little ones were left staring blankly at each other, a million thoughts racing through their minds.
"Oh! By the way, when I was exploring on my own, I found the hornet's nest on the tree in the middle."
Just as she returned to the house, Naoko poked her head out again and called out to the four little ones.
"Okay, I understand."
Naruto nodded, marveling that even the aunt who issued the mission was more reliable than Kakashi-sensei.
"I saw it, so many...it's a bit disgusting."
Hinata gently activated her Byakugan and immediately saw the hornet's nest on the tree in the middle.
Furthermore, thanks to the Byakugan's X-ray vision and Hinata's enhanced dynamic perception after her evolution, she saw the dense swarm of wasps inside the wasp nest.
Furthermore, the structure of a hornet's nest is very complex and inhumane, which makes Hinata feel very uncomfortable.
"Then... what do we do?"
Naruto tilted his head and asked.
"Or should I just use the chains to remove the hornet's nest and then throw it away?"
Karin was somewhat eager to try.
"Then you were swarmed by wasps and stung all over your body?"
Sasuke spoke words of concern in a disdainful tone.
"Um... I think that's how it is."
Karin shrank her neck; she didn't want to be stung by wasps.
Although she had never been stung before, she knew it would hurt a lot.
"I don't think I can do it.
My abilities can only slightly...suppress the wasps for now."
Hinata shook her head.
Her eyes could now gradually control the attraction and repulsion slightly, but the ability was not yet mature and she needed to eat more.
However, the Gentle Fist technique, which targets only one enemy, is not very effective against wasps.
After all, there are so many wasps, and they are flying, moving targets, so it's impossible to take them all out at once.
If Hinata were to try to turn the tide, she would have to jump to hit the hornet's nest, but that would still provoke a horde of hornets attacking her.
"How about I throw a meatball?"
Naruto tilted his head and said.
Sasuke's lips twitched slightly.
"Throw a Rasengan?"
You mean you want to blow up the tree, the ground within a two-meter radius, and the hornet's nest all at once?
That tree belongs to Naoko's family after all, so it's best if we don't damage it.
With a mix of helplessness and secret satisfaction, Sasuke shook his head, placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder, and said something under Naruto's curious gaze.
"Let me do it."
What are you planning to do?
Naruto asked.
"Heh, the Uchiha's Fire Release is no joke."
Sasuke's lips curled up, a hint of confidence flashing in his eyes.
"What if you burn the tree?"
Upon hearing the words "Fire Release," Naruto lost his composure.
He knew that while his Rasengan might have greater destructive power, its range was fixed.
But your fire-style techniques could burn down the entire garden!
