Looking at that familiar guy with his hands in his pockets, not saying a word, acting cool.
And that familiar Uchiha fire fan clan emblem.
The person blocking Akali and Hinata at this moment—who else could it be but Sasuke?
Hinata felt very strange, as she shouldn’t have had any interaction with Sasuke in her daily life.
Hinata asked politely, “Sasuke, is there something you need?”
“…”
Hearing Hinata’s inquiry, Sasuke didn’t answer but instead looked silently at Akali beside Hinata.
The meaning he wanted to express was very clear!
Sasuke had come to block their path today not for Hinata, but for Akali!
Seeing this, Akali’s face, which had been beaming just a second ago, clouded over immediately!
Damn it, she was busy getting close to Hinata, what was this stinking man doing popping out?
Since Sasuke was so tactless and had to interrupt her good time, Akali naturally didn’t have a good attitude either.
Letting go of Hinata’s small hand, Akali stepped forward:
“Hinata asked you a question, didn’t you hear her?”
“If you don’t need your ears, you can donate them to someone who does!”
“Uh…”
Facing Akali, who was at full aggression right off the bat, Sasuke’s cold expression faltered a bit.
For so many years, relying on his handsome face, Sasuke had never encountered a girl as impolite as Akali.
In his anticipation, once he showed the attitude of only looking at Akali, Hinata should have tactfully left and handed over the space to them.
But obviously, neither Hinata nor Akali were the type of people to buy that.
So at this moment, Sasuke was feeling rather awkward.
If it were in the past, he would have definitely turned around and walked away, but unfortunately, this time Sasuke was asking for a favor.
So after a stalemate for a while, Sasuke actually lowered his noble head first.
“Sorry, Hinata, I came to talk to Akali about something. Could you please step aside for a moment?”
Sasuke said politely to Hinata.
Hinata was a bit surprised.
Could that arrogant Sasuke, who held his nose up to the sky and looked down on everyone, actually be so polite to her?
Of course, Hinata also couldn’t forget why Sasuke was being so polite.
She couldn’t help but look at Akali in surprise, wondering what kind of magic her friend possessed.
At the same time, since Sasuke had put it that way, Hinata had to give him some face.
“Um, Akali, should I leave for a while?” Hinata asked tentatively.
“No need, I don’t have anything that needs to be kept hidden.” Akali hurriedly shook her head.
If Hinata left now, what if the hot springs they agreed upon changed when she came back?
Akali looked at Sasuke: “If you have something to say, just say it here!”
“What, are you still unwilling to accept your loss from the day before yesterday? Do you want to fight again?”
“Of course not!” Sasuke shook his head: “I am completely convinced by my defeat in the battle the day before yesterday.”
Seemingly recalling the powerlessness of his crushing defeat, Sasuke’s face paled slightly.
Seeing Sasuke like this, Akali was even more confused.
If it wasn’t about the battle the day before yesterday, then why was Sasuke looking for her?
It couldn’t be to compensate for the damage to the Uchiha Clan Grounds, could it?
Then she would have something to say about that.
The Great Fireball Technique was cast by Sasuke, not her.
As for the Uchiha Clan Grounds appearing in her photos?
Hilarious, Uchiha isn’t Visual China, how could they chase you down to collect copyright fees?
The more Akali thought about it, the less she understood, so she simply said: “Sasuke, you’re a man after all, just say what you need to say!”
“Fine, then I’ll be direct!” Under Akali’s request, Sasuke was straightforward for once.
He looked at Akali with burning eyes and asked very seriously:
“Akali, I’ve investigated you. You are not the first generation in your family to become a Ninja. Your late parents, and even two generations before them, were all Ninjas.”
“However, your father was at most a Special Jonin, and your mother was just a Chunin, and a medical Ninja at that.”
“In terms of family background, you are stronger than people like Naruto whose families have never had Ninjas, but that strength is limited.”
“So I want to know, why are you so strong?”
Why Akali was so strong, and where that last move of hers came from, were questions Sasuke had been pondering for the past two days. Find the original chapter at novelping.com.
He was arrogant, but not brainless.
In the original work, Sasuke had a breakdown because of Naruto’s growth in strength, because Sasuke had always labeled Naruto as a weakling before that.
But Akali never gave Sasuke the feeling of being a weakling, so his breakdown only happened when he awakened the Sharingan but still couldn’t beat Akali.
After losing completely, Sasuke calmed down.
And Sasuke’s purpose in asking Akali these things right now was very simple!
He wanted to become stronger, he wanted to learn!
However, after hearing Sasuke’s words, before Akali could react, Hinata frowned first, and a look of anger appeared on her usually soft and submissive pretty face.
“Uchiha Sasuke!” Hinata said coldly: “Although the Uchiha clan is in decline now, in the past, it was a great clan that stood on par with, or even surpassed, the Hyuga.”
“As the future clan leader of the Uchiha, don’t you think you are being very rude?”
“A Ninja’s secret to becoming strong is a taboo no matter where you go!”
“In earlier times, if you asked like this, you could already be preparing for a life-and-death duel!”
After all, there were too many selfish people among Ninjas who only cared about themselves, and often, relationships between them were like a dark forest.
You didn’t know what the other party was up to, whether they were good or bad for you; there was a 50% chance of benefit and a 50% chance of harm.
Since that was the case, why gamble on a 50% probability instead of acting first?
And Sasuke naturally understood this logic; he even knew that his question was very excessive.
Seeing Hinata, who was articulate, showed no timidity in their eye contact, and was completely unlike her past shy and introverted self, but instead revealed an edge, Sasuke was even more shocked and incredulous.
On Akali’s system panel, Sasuke’s emotion points had already appeared several times.
But even being lectured to his face like this by Hinata, Sasuke did not retreat; instead, he gritted his teeth and stared at Akali.
He was an avenger; as long as there was a chance and possibility to become stronger, he should abandon everything and seize it!
“You…”
Seeing Sasuke’s shameless, thick-skinned attitude, Hinata wrinkled her delicate nose, very displeased.
But Akali quickly stopped her.
“Let me handle this, let me!”
It was as if her anger had shifted; Akali’s annoyance at being interrupted had dissipated quite a bit.
Because she had already understood the purpose of Sasuke’s visit!
Looking at Sasuke, Akali asked with a strange glint in her eyes and a melodic tone:
“You asked me this question, meaning you want to know my secret and then use it to become stronger, is that it?”
