“ROAR—” The Snow Demon Ape let out a savage roar and strode forward.
Its eyes held an undisguised, lecherous gleam.
The crowd of onlookers on the street, who had been watching the spectacle moments before, scattered in terror at the sight of the Snow Demon Ape.
“It’s over, it’s over!
A big, beautiful human woman… isn’t that exactly me?!” Haruno Sakura shut her eyes in despair and wailed, “What do I do?!” A flash of inspiration crossed her mind, and she suddenly thought of Sasuke.
In a situation like this, wouldn’t Sasuke swoop in and play the hero, saving the damsel in distress?
If that happened… well, that would actually be pretty great.
Haruno Sakura squeezed her eyes shut, hearing only the approaching footsteps that made the very street tremble.
Haruno Sakura was terrified, desperately wishing for Sasuke to save her.
The footsteps drew closer and closer… Here!
It’s right here!
Sasuke, hurry up and save me!
And then… The footsteps grew further away… further and further… ???
Haruno Sakura opened her eyes in utter confusion and spun her head around.
She saw the Snow Demon Ape, its eyes gleaming with that wicked light, striding right past her without a second glance, heading straight for Naruko.
Haruno Sakura instantly felt as though she’d taken ten thousand critical hits.
She had the overwhelming urge to cough up blood.
WTF!!
Are you saying I’m not even as good-looking as the woman Naruto turned into?!
Are you saying my chest isn’t as big as that woman’s?!
Does your perverted ape have zero aesthetic sense?!
With that thought, Haruno Sakura glanced down at herself, then over at Naruko.
…Okay, that one is definitely bigger than mine.
But that’s not the point!
The point is—I can’t even compete with a guy who turned into a girl?!
The greatest tragedy in the world wasn’t summoning a perverted ape… it was summoning a perverted ape that didn’t even look your way.
Haruno Sakura’s heart was shattered.
Suddenly, she was struck by the thought that living in this world was more painful than just smashing her head against a block of tofu.
Naruko’s face paled as she watched the lecherous-eyed Snow Demon Ape lumbering straight toward her.
The Snow Demon Ape wore an almost humanly perverse expression, and a massive black hand covered in white fur came crashing down like a tidal wave.
“Tch.” Sasuke clicked his tongue softly.
His snow-white wings flapped, and he shot forward, scooping Naruko up from behind.
Then, he flew clear of the Snow Demon Ape’s descending grasp.
Watching this, even Shendai couldn’t help but admire the scene.
“Now that’s true love.” He didn’t save Haruno Sakura, but he went to save Naruto.
If that’s not true love, what is?
Go on.
I ship this pairing.
Naruko, having been rescued by Sasuke, wrapped her legs and arms around him, clinging like an octopus.
She said emotionally, “What are you talking about?!
I knew it!
I knew you’d save me!” Those should be MY lines, dammit!
You bastard Naruto, get off of him!
Haruno Sakura watched Sasuke fly through the sky with Naruko in his arms, and a whole stampede of angry horses galloped through her heart.
Naruko clung tightly to Sasuke.
The curves beneath the sailor outfit pressed and rubbed against Sasuke, and even her breath fell clearly against his face.
Although Sasuke knew full well that this was Naruto transformed, the appearance before him was undeniably that of a girl.
Especially the strange, indescribable sensation of being watched by some unseen force, as if bathed in holy light—it made Sasuke feel a little… warm.
“Don’t move!
Or I’ll drop you!” Sasuke barked coldly, his expression dark.
Naruko only held on tighter.
“Nooo, don’t~” Ugh… Down below, Haruno Sakura had mentally checked out completely.
These days, the hardest thing isn’t competing with another woman for a man.
It’s having to compete for a man… with another man.
Is there no justice in this world?
I’m so over this.
“ROAR!” Seeing its target snatched away, the Snow Demon Ape roared in fury, stomped forward, and gave chase.
One fled, the other pursued.
The street crowd instantly descended into chaos.
Not far away, A little boy wearing a dark green scarf heard the commotion from the crowd and said with a curious expression, “What’s going on over there?
Sounds like a huge ruckus!
No way, I gotta go check it out!” Ebisu pushed up the small round sunglasses perched on his nose.
“Young Master Konohamaru, your top priority right now is to attend your Clone Technique lesson.
Don’t worry about such trivial matters.
Someone will handle it.” “Are you kidding me?!” Konohamaru declared with righteous conviction, “As the little brother of Boss Naruto, how could I, Konohamaru, possibly be the type to ignore a good commotion?!
If something’s going down, I’ve gotta go see it!” With that, Konohamaru immediately darted off.
Ebisu slapped his own forehead and said helplessly, “Young Master Konohamaru has been completely spoiled by that Naruto.” Konohamaru was the grandson of the Third Hokage.
If anything were to happen to him, Ebisu, as his tutor, would face severe consequences.
Left with no choice, he followed.
Meanwhile, The Snow Demon Ape pursued Sasuke and Naruko, barreling across the streets and sending villagers into a panic.
Suddenly, A sharp voice rang out.
“Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!” With a rumble from the ground, a thick stone wall rose up from the earth, blocking the Snow Demon Ape’s path.
“Kakashi-sensei!” Naruko cried out in pleasant surprise upon seeing the person who had used the ninjutsu.
Kakashi stood atop the earth wall and said with a sigh, “I knew it.
Whenever there’s trouble, it’s bound to involve you somehow.” At the same time, Kakashi shifted his gaze to the white wings on Sasuke’s back, and his pupils constricted.
What is that?
Some kind of special ninja tool?
Or a unique jutsu?
He’d never heard of anything like that existing in Konoha.
But this wasn’t the time to ponder that.
Kakashi looked at the ferocious Snow Demon Ape before him and said, “Let’s deal with you first.” “ROAR—” Enraged at the sight of the black-masked man blocking its pursuit of the girl, the Snow Demon Ape howled furiously.
Its massive foot smashed into the street as it launched its giant black fist at Kakashi like a meteor.
“Lightning Blade!” A dazzling flash of lightning erupted from Kakashi’s palm.
The electricity crackled and chirped, sounding like a thousand birds bursting from a forest.
Kakashi leaped high, evading the Snow Demon Ape’s fist, and simultaneously drove his lightning-clad palm straight into the Snow Demon Ape’s forehead.
Squelch!
In an instant, bone shattered and blood sprayed.
The lightning-wreathed palm was like an unbreakable spear of thunder, piercing clean through the Snow Demon Ape’s skull.
The Snow Demon Ape’s movements halted.
The light in its pupils gradually faded until it was completely extinguished.
With a deafening ‘BOOM’, the Snow Demon Ape’s body toppled backward, its massive frame crashing into the street and sending tremors through the ground.
Sasuke and Naruko descended from the sky now that the Snow Demon Ape was dead.
Kakashi flicked the blood from his hand and looked at the two of them.
“You two, what exactly is going on here?
Whose summoning beast is this monster?” Sasuke shook his head.
“It’s not a summoning beast.
It’s a Danger Beast.” “Danger Beast?” Kakashi blinked, confused.
He had never heard that term before.
Sasuke explained to Kakashi, “A Danger Beast is a terrifying creature from the manga Akame ga Kill!
It possesses monster-level destructive power.” “From the manga Akame ga Kill!…” Kakashi said, a dark line forming on his forehead.
“Are you trying to tell me that this monster came out of a manga?”
