Naruto suddenly felt a bit lost after beating his opponent into a pulp.
Because what the other party said was completely different from what they had imagined before!
Something about using the method of public auditions for idols, which was malicious...
That was not the case at all!
The public auditions were real, and forming an idol girl group was also real!
And besides the three of them, everyone else had gone home and was not imprisoned.
As for the identity of the person who fled, "Pig Head Lackey" didn't know much, only that the person was sent personally by President Naiko, and they were instructed to be very careful with this VIP.
He was blinded by his assumptions, thinking the other party wanted to engage in unspoken rules, so he took it upon himself to stop the three of them.
Under Naruto's beating, the guy almost spilt everything, even the incident of him peeking at Widow Wang next door and taking a bath when he was a kid, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
This made it impossible for Naruto not to believe.
So, was all of this just a misunderstanding?
No, since this bastard could engage in unspoken rules for those 'VIPs' once, it was possible for a second and third time.
So there was still a problem with this idol audition, and it was a big problem!
Therefore, Naruto decided... to tear this place down!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Sasuke, who had thrown away his wig and returned from being "Sako," was closely following the "mastermind" behind the scenes.
The two of them, one chasing and one fleeing, attracted much attention.
However, as they chased further and further away, the two gradually left the bustling area and started heading towards the deep mountains.
With Aoba's speed, it was too easy to shake off Sasuke following behind. In the beginning, that was what he planned to do.
But when Sasuke caught up alone after a long time without news, the Dog System instantly revived with full health!
Ding!
A stage-specific deadly mission has been issued!
Mission Name: Lifelong Enemy of the Second Pillar!
The fourth stage has been opened.
Content Description: Hate me, you foolish Oodou Douyo!
(Hi, long time no see, missed me?)
Mission Requirement: Shave the Second Pillar bald.
Mission Time Limit: One hour.
Mission Reward: Special Treasure Chest x1, Advanced Skill Card x1.
The fifth stage opening time: Unknown.
Mission Failure: Body hair growth rate increases ten thousand times.
After more than two hundred chapters, the Lifelong Enemy of the Second Pillar mission finally entered the fourth stage again.
Reluctantly, Aoba could only 'painfully (laugh)' fish, slowing the pace, fearing that the Second Pillar would not catch up or stop chasing.
After all, the punishment for failing the mission was terrifying, and he didn't want to become a 'hair monster,' so he could only let the Second Pillar suffer a bit.
It's just shaving a bald head. The Second Pillar shouldn't be so mentally fragile as to turn evil directly, right?
As for the mission reward, is he the person who would shave his good brother's brother bald for a mission reward that malicious?
No way, okay!
Even without the mission reward, he...
Cough cough...
He meant to say it's all the Dog System's fault, hoping the Second Pillar would rest in peace and not blame him.
Namu Ami Toufa, Om~ Om~
This could also test whether Sakura's love for Sasuke is true.
After confirming they had run far away, Aoba instantly activated "Instant Teleportation" and disappeared from Sasuke's sight.
"Not good!"
When the enemy suddenly burst out with such terrifying speed, Sasuke immediately felt alarmed, unable to help but suspect that the other party was luring him into a trap.
After all, if the other party had burst out at this speed from the beginning, he wouldn't have continued to chase because he wouldn't have been able to catch up!
So, there was only one explanation: he had been tricked!
And then, just as he thought this, a sharp pain suddenly came from his back.
Then, like a cannonball, he was blasted from the tree directly into the ground, kicking up dust clouds.
"Cough... Cough..."
Sasuke, who nearly blacked out and fainted, tried to climb up from the ground awkwardly.
It was not just the speed but the opponent's strength that shocked him!
It was completely different from the force initially sending him and Naruto flying.
The opponent had been hiding their true power all along!
Then, there was another loud bang!
Before Sasuke could get up, he was kicked again, flying into a large tree and spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood as he landed.
Counterattack?
He couldn't even see when the opponent appeared beside him. How could he counterattack?
Ninjutsu?
In the time it took him to form hand seals, the opponent had a hundred ways to kill him directly!
And now, having suffered severe injuries, he struggled even to stand up, clearly in a desperate situation.
Through Sasuke's blurry vision, he was grabbed by the neck and smashed against a tree.
The feeling of suffocation gradually reached his brain, causing his body to struggle involuntarily.
Throughout the process, he had no strength to resist at all.
"Am I going to die...?"
As this thought arose in his mind, another thought also emerged.
"So I am this weak..."
However, the death he awaited did not come immediately.
Because it seemed that the opponent did not intend to kill him outright but tied him to a tree instead.
Breathing in fresh air again gave Sasuke a feeling of having escaped death, and his mind cleared up quite a bit, beginning to ponder the opponent's intentions.
Could it be that this guy wanted to use him as a hostage?
The soul-stirring question Kakashi-sensei had posed to them during training immediately echoed in his ears.
For a ninja, sometimes death is not the scariest thing; the most frightening thing is dragging your comrades down...
And now, he was about to become someone who dragged his comrades down.
He knew without thinking that to save him, Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi-sensei would all be in danger!
He now deeply regretted leaving behind the marks used by Team 7 for communication during the pursuit.
If he were to be used as a hostage to threaten his comrades, he would rather have been killed by the opponent right at the start!
Thinking this, a determined expression appeared in Sasuke's eyes.
If that situation truly arose, he would make Kakashi-sensei kill him himself.
He was prepared to face death!
Unfortunately, in the end, he could not find the bastard to take revenge, nor could he meet his father's and older brother's expectations, and he couldn't surpass his most respected older brother.
As Sasuke began to indulge in 'death retrospection,' Aoba took out a kunai, his gaze fixating on Sasuke's head, gesturing continuously.
"Kill me then! You scum!" Sasuke immediately spat out a mouthful of blood-stained saliva to provoke the opponent.
Then, he saw the expressionless opponent pressing the kunai against his head.
Good, come on!
Feeling the chilling sensation that made his scalp tingle, Sasuke kept psyching himself up!
However, the next second, his eyes widened...
