Chapter 24
Sakyo's delicate little face had turned pale red from the emotional rollercoaster, and that flustered look was incredibly cute in Naruto's eyes.
She pointed at him angrily. "Uzumaki Naruto!"
"Do you really think I like you?"
Naruto nodded as if it were obvious. "Of course. Don't you?"
Sakyo sucked in a cold breath. Good grief—she had never met someone so shameless!
She huffed coldly. "Hmph! It's not like you're the only option!"
"So don't get too full of yourself!"
Naruto looked innocent. "When was I ever full of myself?"
Sakyo clenched her teeth, struggling to keep her composure. She reminded him sharply, "You… you just said you wanted to have babies with me! If that's not being full of yourself, what is?"
"Ehh… that's not being full of yourself, is it?"
Naruto tried to reason with her. "Look—if we both like each other and can face difficulties together, why not? It's just normal married life, right?"
Sakyo was furious. She never imagined that even though Naruto was clearly messing around, he could still come up with such smooth, logical excuses.
The worst part? She couldn't find any way to argue back.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She shot back at him, "Fine then—tell me, how old are we right now? And you're already talking about kids? Who does that?"
Naruto thought seriously for a moment. "There are people who do. In some places, plenty of twelve-year-olds have already had kids."
"But that's mostly the older generation. Younger ones… not so much."
Sakyo stared at him in disbelief. She never thought Naruto could say something like that with a straight face.
"You… are you insane?"
For some reason, after talking things through with Naruto, Sakyo felt strangely lighter—but now she was getting nervous again.
She took a small step back, trying to put distance between them, and pulled out a kunai. "Uzumaki Naruto, don't do anything weird!"
Seeing her reaction, Naruto gave a soft smile and slowly stepped closer. "Weird? When have I ever done anything weird?"
Sakyo grew even more panicked as he approached. Her face paled as she shouted, "You damn pervert! Don't you dare! I never agreed to this!"
"And we're just friends! Just friends! FRIENDS!!!"
At the critical moment, Naruto stopped.
As a well-educated young man who completed nine years of compulsory education in his previous life, he still had some boundaries.
Although by real age he was completely fine, Sakyo was only eleven right now. No matter how much of a pervert Naruto was… he wasn't going to make a move on her right now.
"Haha~ I was just talking with you. Look how scared you got. You weren't thinking something weird, were you, Little Sakyo?"
Naruto teased her, watching her face grow redder and redder, secretly delighted.
Heh, tsundere, huh? Cold and aloof, huh? Still got completely handled by me, didn't you?
Today, Sakyo's emotions had been like a rollercoaster—highs, lows, ups and downs.
Seeing Naruto's smug expression, Sakyo clenched her small fists and glared at the triumphant boy through gritted teeth.
But this time, she didn't argue back.
Because she knew she couldn't win against him in a verbal fight.
"Hmph!"
In the end, Sakyo let out a sharp huff, turned her head away forcefully, and refused to look at the infuriating Uzumaki Naruto who kept making her heart race.
