Chapter 123 The Self-Proud Uchiha

In the end, for the sake of the mission, Uchiha Sasuke reluctantly put on the cat ear headband.

He originally looked cold and arrogant, but now he put on cat ears that were totally inconsistent with his image, and he has transformed into a tsundere cat.

Click!

Uchiha Sasuke's eyes widened and he immediately looked towards the source of the sound, but he didn't expect to see Haruko Hayama holding a camera with a triumphant smirk on her face.

"Why do you have a camera?!" Uchiha Sasuke was shocked.

Morning Haruko shook the scroll in her other hand, "Isn't it convenient? It's the scroll that Tenten gave me to store the camera."

Uchiha Sasuke was full of black lines, "Others use it to store ninja tools, you use it to store cameras?"

"What's wrong with the camera? How can the camera capture such wonderful pictures of Sasuke's cat without storing them!" Haruko Asako immediately put the camera back into the scroll and hid the scroll smoothly.

Uchiha Sasuke, who hadn’t started snatching yet: …How embarrassing!

……

"They recognize us. Now it's up to you."

The ninja cat leading the way stopped when he saw the guards at the castle entrance not far away.

"You can use this to talk to the ninja cats, right?" Uzumaki Naruto pointed at the cat ears on his head, "Then there's no need to fight at all. Just say something nice and they'll definitely be willing to give you a few hand seals!"

Shinobu Neko reluctantly explained to them: "No, no, having your paw prints taken away is a very unbearable thing for a cat."

"Is that so?" Haruko Asahi looked at Uchiha Sasuke next to her, "Sasuke is really going too far."

“……”Uchiha Sasuke felt that he was taking the blame for his younger self.

He secretly thought that after the mission was over, he would give this dumb ninja cat enough paw prints!

When they arrived at the castle entrance, the guards wanted to stop them because they were newcomers. Fortunately, Uchiha Sasuke had the foresight to bribe them with the cat wine he had prepared in advance. However, Uzumaki Naruto accidentally dropped his hairband and exposed himself, so Haruko Asako and Uchiha Sasuke had to rush in first.

As the castle was on alert and time was running out, they split up to search. Uzumaki Naruto dived directly to the outskirts of the castle and tried to climb up directly.

Haruko Zao ran all the way over and saw so many humanized cats that she couldn't stop her hands from itching. But when she thought about whether she would be accused of sexual harassment if she touched a cat casually in the cat world, Haruko Zao immediately tightened her grip.

After hearing that the target of the mission was Nekomata in the castle tower, Haruko hurried there in the morning. She saw many ninja cats lying on the ground downstairs. She knew that Uchiha Sasuke should have gone up there.

Coincidentally, when Haruko went upstairs and entered the room in the morning, she was forced to enter the illusion that Nekomata had set up in the room.

He was surrounded by traditional Japanese rooms, and in the corner there was a beautiful woman in an intricate kimono with her back to her. Uchiha Sasuke, who was in the center of the room, just gave her a flying kick without mercy.

In the morning, Haruko directly formed seals and used her eye technique to break the illusion. When her vision blurred and the illusion disappeared, she could truly see the appearance of the castle tower.

The palaces are majestic and magnificent, with glazed tile roofs and a huge translucent curtain in the center, projecting the dark shadow of the demon cat behind it.

In the morning, Haruko and Uchiha Sasuke looked at each other, then both took out their kunai, held them tightly, and rushed towards the Nekomata.

But the Nekomata's huge size and agile speed completely suppressed them. When Haruko was knocked away, she leaped back and used Thousand Flying Lines to control the Nekomata for a while.

Uchiha Sasuke threw the last kunai at it, and when the cat dodged it easily and wanted to laugh at them, its sharp cat eyes caught a glimpse of an explosive tag tied to the back of the kunai flying towards the ceiling, and the ceiling was unknowingly filled with kunai tied with explosive tags.

Boom——!

The entire ceiling exploded, and countless sharp rocks fell and hit the Nekomata, who was trapped in place by the white lines, successfully knocking it unconscious.

"It's a pity to have such a gorgeous room. It must have cost a lot of money to renovate it." Haruko mourned for the cat who paid for it for another second in the morning.

Uchiha Sasuke raised the corner of his mouth, with a little pride that could not be hidden in his eyes. He took out the paper with the paw print and walked in front of the Nekomata, and Haruko Asagumi also followed him closer.

So when Uzumaki Naruto finally climbed into the window of the castle tower with great effort, he saw the Nekomata lying on the ground and Uchiha Sasuke holding his paw print and smiling at him provocatively.

"How can you repair it! I haven't even made my final appearance yet!" Uzumaki Naruto protested with his teeth bared.

"Huh, isn't it also the finale if you show up now?" Uchiha Sasuke folded his arms and said in a mocking tone.

Naruto Uzumaki glared at him unhappily, and then found that Hayama Haruko seemed to have been silent. Naruto Uzumaki looked around and finally saw Hayama Haruko's back behind the Nekomata's heavy cat claws.

Naruto Uzumaki, who was feeling aggrieved and wanted to complain to her, went closer to take a look, but he didn't expect that Haruko had been squatting here in the morning and was playing with the cat's paws of the Nekomata.

"Hehehe... so soft..."

In the morning, Haruko was obsessed with petting the cat. The cat had fainted anyway, so what was wrong with her touching it a few times?

"Haruko..." Uzumaki Naruto squatted down beside her pitifully.

"What's wrong, Naruto?" Haruko was obsessed with petting cats in the morning. Seeing the golden-haired cat coming over, she directly freed one hand and touched his golden fur.

Hehehe...two cats...

Uzumaki Naruto was not at all shy about being petted like a cat. He took the initiative to rub against her hands and expressed his grievances.

"You guys solved it too quickly! I didn't even have a chance to play..."

Haruko Asahi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and replied to him in a coaxing tone: "Okay, let our baby Naruto go first next time, okay?"

This was the name that Naruto Uzumaki's parents called him. When it was called out by Haruko Zaoma's childish voice, Naruto Uzumaki couldn't help but blush.

Uchiha Sasuke, who was standing not far away and watching their interaction, silently tightened the paper in his hand. He slowly lowered his head and stared at the spoils he and Haruko Hayama had obtained by defeating Nekomata. The previous joy disappeared in an instant.

What exactly is he to Haruko Hayama?

Just a colleague or teammate who is an idiot like Naruto?

Is it a dispensable item that can be replaced by others at any time?

In fact, he is not even as good as Naruto...

Before this, Uzumaki Naruto had always confidently claimed in front of him that he was the most important friend in Haruko Asano's heart. Uchiha Sasuke even sneered at his words, but now the more they get along, the more he feels that he really can't compare to Uzumaki Naruto in Haruko Asano's heart.

He had always thought that he and Uzumaki Naruto had the same goal, which was to snatch Haruko Hayami away from those whose bonds were not as strong as theirs.

After all, they are the original Team 7, aren't they?

Obviously, Uzumaki Naruto should be like him, secretly waiting for Haruko to return to them in the morning...

But before they knew it, Uzumaki Naruto had stepped out of the confines of Team 7 on his own initiative and went after Hayama Haruko, leaving him alone waiting for the two of them to return.

Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth.

He is different from that idiot Naruto, he is an Uchiha, a self-proud Uchiha!

So...so...

So the person standing next to Haruko Asagi is no longer him...
