[🥳 New Novel Is Up Guys— "Starting Off By Confessing To My Classmate's Mother", please support. 🤜🏻🤛🏻]
Kakashi's single visible eye widened in disbelief, his expression one of utter confusion.
As a seasoned reader of light novels, he immediately recognized the item in Naruto's hands.
Usually, he saw female protagonists wearing these kinds of outfits...
But the issue at hand was...
Why, in the world, would Naruto pull out a JK skirt now? Is he planning to make Sasuke wear it!?
Kakashi stole a glance at Sasuke and couldn't help but imagine the Uchiha wearing a skirt...
Shudder—
Nope! Nope!
My eyes... they're going blind!
He barely managed to suppress the mental image, feeling an involuntary chill run down his spine. His gaze toward Naruto became increasingly disturbed.
Sasuke, on the other hand, stared silently at the fabric in Naruto's hands for a long moment, his expression cycling between pale and flushed.
He wasn't as experienced as Kakashi...
But even he could tell that this piece of cloth was highly inappropriate!
Besides, aren't skirts something girls wear!?
Finally, Sasuke raised his head and said to Naruto, "Naruto, this isn't funny."
His voice carried a hint of irritation.
If Kakashi had pulled out such a thing, Sasuke would've been tempted to smack him with his sword.
"No!"
"Sasuke, trust me!" Naruto said with absolute seriousness, his face radiating sincerity.
He placed the skirt and knee-high socks carefully on the table, then turned away, sighing softly.
"Sasuke..."
"We've known each other for so long... and this is what you think of me?"
Sigh.
"Have you forgotten what you once told me? That you'd do anything to become stronger..."
Naruto's voice was filled with sorrow. Hearing this, Sasuke found himself recalling their many years together.
But...
Kakashi, on the other hand, noticed Naruto's shoulders trembling ever so slightly.
That brat is clearly holding back laughter!
Sasuke hesitated, casting a conflicted glance at the items on the table.
He did trust Naruto, but he also knew his friend's mischievous nature all too well.
Who's to say Naruto isn't just trying to make him wear this to humiliate him?
The risk was too high; Sasuke couldn't afford to be careless.
Yet...
The allure of the Three Tomoe Sharingan...
It was so tempting!
After a long internal struggle, Sasuke gritted his teeth and declared, "All of this is for the sake of getting stronger!"
"Naruto... I'll trust you this once."
"But!"
Sasuke paused, pointing at the skirt and socks on the table, his eyes gleaming with intensity.
"You two must wear them as well!"
To ensure that Naruto wasn't playing a prank on him, Sasuke decided to drag them both down with him.
If they all wore these ridiculous outfits, there was no way Naruto could be messing with him, right?
Kakashi: ???
Naruto was momentarily taken aback by Sasuke's demand, but then he grinned and patted Sasuke on the shoulder.
"Don't worry!"
"I understand your concerns..."
"No problem, to help you awaken your Sharingan, Kakashi-sensei and I will wear them with you."
Naruto flashed a bright, reassuring smile, grabbing Kakashi's shoulder as if to say, "We're in this together."
"Wait, Naruto... is this method really... reliable?"
Kakashi suddenly spoke up, only to be cut off mid-sentence by Naruto, who responded with righteous indignation.
"How dare you!"
"Kakashi-sensei, don't underestimate the bond we share!"
With his brain still trying to catch up, Kakashi had no choice but to nod in reluctant agreement.
Of course...
A major part of it was the unsettling gleam in Naruto's eyes that left him no room to argue.
At that moment, their gazes met, and in a brief but silent exchange, they both nodded in understanding.
To reassure Sasuke even further, Naruto pulled out two more skirts, handing one to Kakashi while keeping another for himself.
Seeing Naruto's commitment, Sasuke finally relaxed.
Hmm... if they're all going to wear the skirts, then there's no way this is a joke, right?
With their faces tinged with embarrassment, the three of them each took a JK skirt and over-the-knee socks. Without saying another word, they all hurried to separate rooms to change.
Sasuke looked down at the skirt he was now wearing and the knee-high black socks, his face twisting into a grimace.
His mind was spinning.
What... what am I even doing!?
His entire body resisted the situation. He stood frozen in place, hand gripping the doorknob but unable to open it.
After standing there for several minutes, Sasuke finally made a decision: He would avoid looking down at his skirt and keep his eyes focused straight ahead. That way, he could at least pretend he wasn't wearing it.
Worried that he might be mocked if he stepped out first, Sasuke called out through the door, "Are you two done?"
"We're done."
"Ready."
Hearing their responses, Sasuke felt slightly relieved.
At least Naruto and Kakashi were sharing in this humiliation.
"Alright, let's go out together!" Sasuke called to them.
After a brief pause, three doors simultaneously creaked open...
Sasuke, blushing, stepped out into the living room, his hands nervously clutching the hem of his skirt.
But the moment he saw Naruto and Kakashi, his mind went completely blank.
Neither Naruto nor Kakashi had changed into the skirts. They were still wearing their regular clothes from before.
At that instant, time seemed to freeze...
The two glanced at Sasuke, their shoulders trembling violently as they desperately tried to hold back their laughter.
The faint sounds of "Kukuku..." slipped out, and they were clearly struggling not to burst out laughing right in his face.
To say they hadn't already started laughing would be giving them too much credit.
Sasuke's expression was blank as he stared at the two. Without a word, he turned to pick up his Executioner's Blade.
Crackle—
The sound of lightning echoed through the room as Sasuke raised the blade high, aiming it toward Naruto and Kakashi.
"You two!!!"
"Damn bastards!!!"
"I'll turn all your laughter into screams!!!"
"Go to hell!!!"
In his fury, Sasuke's entire body crackled with electricity, even his weapon glowing with a layer of lightning.
Unbeknownst to him, he was far stronger now than he had ever been before.
But at the moment, Sasuke didn't care about any of that.
All he wanted was to obliterate the yellow-haired and white-haired nuisances standing before him.
"Wait!!"
"Idiot! Calm down!!"
"Haven't you noticed? You've mastered Lightning Release body techniques!"
Seeing Sasuke ready to strike, Naruto hurriedly tried to reason with him.
Kakashi quickly joined in, attempting to calm Sasuke down as well.
"Yeah! You've definitely gotten stronger!"
"Kukuku—"
Hearing their words, Sasuke's expression softened, and he lowered the Executioner's Blade. Slowly, he started to sense the change within himself.
For the first time, Sasuke realized how smoothly the Lightning Release chakra flowed through his body. No blockages, no strain.
And most importantly...
It no longer burned his hair!
Crackle—
With a slight movement, Sasuke found that he was moving so fast that he left afterimages in his wake.
Naruto, noticing that Sasuke had relaxed, began to shower him with praise.
"Amazing, Sasuke!"
"You really are the best of the Uchiha clan!"
Kakashi nodded in agreement.
"Indeed."
"Of all the Uchiha I've seen, you're definitely the strongest."
Hearing their compliments, Sasuke's mouth twitched uncontrollably, barely able to contain his pride.
Naruto... praised me!!
He finally recognizes my strength!
And to receive such praise from Kakashi-sensei, the genius jonin...
They're both saying I'm the strongest in the Uchiha clan...
To Sasuke, family honor meant everything.
Now that Naruto and Kakashi had praised both his clan and his strength, he couldn't suppress the surge of joy in his heart.
With his hands on his hips, legs slightly together, Sasuke swayed a bit in his skirt, then broke into wild laughter.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Of course! The Uchiha clan is the strongest!"
Naruto, sensing the moment wasn't complete, pulled out a sailor uniform and a pink lingerie set, giving Sasuke a mischievous grin.
"Sasuke, just think..."
"If you managed to master Lightning Release just by putting on a skirt..."
"What do you think would happen if you put on the full outfit? You'd probably awaken the Three Tomoe in no time!"
Sasuke blinked, considering Naruto's words. After a moment of hesitation, he nodded.
At this point, having already donned the skirt, what's one more piece?
Outside—
Sakura sat by the door, listening to the strange sounds coming from inside, unable to fathom what was happening within.
She could hear Sasuke shouting about the Uchiha being the strongest...
And Naruto saying something about success...
Could it be?
Did Sasuke succeed?
After eavesdropping a bit longer, and noticing that the room had fallen quiet, she decided to open the door and take a look.
As she gently twisted the doorknob and stepped inside, Sakura was greeted with a sight that she would never forget in her life.
