Chapter 306: You Might as Well Speak More Plainly

Chapter 306: You Might as Well Speak More Plainly

While Onoki was immersed in a brainstorm, his thoughts churning, Naruto, high in the sky, casually waved his right hand to the side.

The gold dust wrapped around the unconscious Kurotsuchi gently lifted her body and smoothly sent it toward Onoki’s position.

Naruto spoke, his tone as flat as if he were handling an inconsequential chore.

"Fine, take your granddaughter away. I don’t want her getting caught in the crossfire when we start fighting in a moment."

He paused and added an explanation: "She’s under Genjutsu, but we didn’t harm her mind; we just gave her a’sweet dream.’ She’ll be fine after a nap."

When Hikari cast Tsukuyomi, she indeed did not inflict endless Spiritual torture in the illusion space as she did with certain enemies.

For Kurotsuchi, who was not a core target, Hikari chose a relatively gentle method.

She had always firmly believed that Naruto was leading her to spread peace throughout the Ninja World.

Placing Kurotsuchi into a peaceful and harmless dream woven by Genjutsu deprived her of mobility and perception, avoiding unnecessary pain.

Onoki, still immersed in his suspicious thoughts, suddenly saw his granddaughter being actively returned. For a moment, he couldn’t even react, his face filled with surprise and disbelief.

He subconsciously reached out to catch Kurotsuchi as she was smoothly delivered by the gold dust. Feeling his granddaughter’s warm body temperature and steady breathing, his heart, which had been hanging high, instantly settled back into place, but this was followed by deeper confusion.

"You..."

Holding Kurotsuchi and looking at Naruto, Onoki was at a loss for words.

What does he mean by this?

Naruto seemed to see through his confusion, looking him straight in the eye, his voice remaining calm.

"My goal has always been to create a peaceful new world, not to forge new blood and grudges."

"I’m afraid that if we really start fighting, the shockwaves of the attacks might accidentally hit her. So, take her somewhere safe."

These words made Onoki’s feelings even more complicated.

But in any case, his granddaughter was safe.

This finally allowed his tensed nerves to relax slightly and also somewhat improved his impression of Naruto.

It seemed the opponent was an idealist more akin to Senju Hashirama; such people generally have high moral standards. It appeared he didn’t need to fear the opponent playing petty tricks on Kurotsuchi’s body.

"Hmph!"

Onoki gave a cold snort, masking the fluctuations in his heart, his words remaining tough.

"Don’t think that just because of this, I’ll show you any mercy!"

Having said that, he no longer hesitated. Holding the unconscious Kurotsuchi tightly, he turned and flew rapidly toward the edge of the Village.

He had to settle his granddaughter first to eliminate any worries.

Watching Onoki’s back as he flew away with Kurotsuchi, Naruto shook his head with a slight smile and said to Hikari beside him:

"That old man... he’s quite stubborn."

Hikari didn’t respond, just watching quietly.

Naruto seemed to remember something and turned to look at Hikari with a mischievous smile, asking:

"Do you think... his temperament is like... a certain someone?"

Hikari immediately understood Naruto’s subtext. She curled her lip, her delicate face showing undisguised disdain, and gave Naruto a side-eye:

"Tch."

"You might as well speak more plainly."

She was already somewhat immune to Naruto’s teasing, but she still couldn’t help talking back.

Seeing Hikari’s interesting reaction, Naruto smiled and didn’t continue the topic.

His expression turned serious as he began to arrange the next tactics:

"In a moment... that old man, I’ll leave him for you to deal with."

Hikari looked at Naruto, as if to confirm, her eyes also carrying a hint of doubt.

Let her deal with that old man alone?

"I’ll take care of the rest of Hidden Stone Village."

Naruto saw her doubt and solemnly extended his right hand, palm up, toward Hikari, his face bearing an incredibly serious expression:

"If your Chakra is insufficient, or if you need stronger power to support your Dōjutsu... then use my Chakra."

These words were like a stone cast into a calm lake, stirring up huge ripples in Hikari’s heart!

Use Naruto’s Chakra?

Hikari’s first reaction was Yachihoko.

One of her Mangekyo Dōjutsu, Yachihoko, could plant a special mark on a target to extract their Chakra in unlimited quantities regardless of distance, and could even control the mind of the one it was applied to!

Naruto wanted to lend her Chakra, but how would he lend it during battle?

Wouldn’t that mean she could logically plant the mark of Yachihoko on him?

Once the mark was planted, Naruto’s unimaginably vast Chakra would become her exclusive ’power bank,’ available at any time!

And it might even make him belong only to her!

Becoming an existence that only listened to her commands.

Just imagining that scene...

Naruto’s sun-like warm smile, his powerful strength, his focused gaze... all existing only for her, obeying only her will.

The original astonishment on Hikari’s face involuntarily transformed into an irrepressible joy!

A faint blush quietly crept onto her cheeks, and deep within her black eyes, a dangerous yet expectant light seemed to flicker.

She almost instantly activated her Mangekyo Sharingan.

"What are you doing?"

Naruto was quick. Just as Hikari’s Sharingan lit up, he suddenly raised his left hand and covered her eyes.

His palm felt the light brush of her eyelashes and the sensation of that cold ocular power being forcibly blocked.

"Idiot!"

Naruto was both annoyed and amused, his tone carrying a clear warning: "I’m saying I’ll actively pass some Chakra to you now, not for you to use that dangerous Yachihoko thing to carve a mark on me!"

How could that be allowed!

Although Hikari was great, he would never hand his body over to anyone else.

He released his hand from her eyes but stared at her with a serious expression:

"If you dare to take this chance to get funny ideas and use that mind-controlling Dōjutsu on me, then you’re finished!"

Naruto deliberately put on a stern face:

"You’ll never get to eat food I’ve personally cooked ever again."

"Not only that, whenever you really want to eat my cooking in the future, I’ll only cook for myself and make you watch from the side!"

To Hikari, who was addicted to Naruto’s cooking, this "threat" was more lethal than any Ninjutsu attack.

The fire ignited in Hikari’s heart was doused with a bucket of ice water and extinguished.

Her lips moved as if she wanted to argue, but in the end, she just gave a resentful "Hmph," turned her head away, and stopped looking at him.

Her Sharingan also slowly deactivated.

"I know..."

She muttered softly, her tone full of reluctance, but she was clearly held in check by this "gourmet threat."

Naruto then withdrew his hand with satisfaction and extended his right hand toward her again, his palm glowing with soft azure Chakra:

"Alright. Are you ready? Catch it."

Although Hikari was still a bit upset, she obediently reached out, her fingertips lightly touching Naruto’s palm.

Immediately, a warm, majestic, and life-filled surge of Chakra flowed steadily and continuously from Naruto’s palm into Hikari’s body.

This Chakra quickly replenished the portion she had previously consumed, bringing her state to its Peak, and even gave her a faint feeling of exceeding her usual limits.

With the support of Naruto’s Chakra, she felt her control over her ocular power become even more proficient.

Feeling the abundant power within her, Hikari stole a glance at Naruto’s focused profile. The slight annoyance from being "threatened" was gradually replaced by a strange sense of security and warmth.

In the distance, after settling Kurotsuchi, Onoki was flying back to the battlefield with a determined Aura.
