Chapter 167: Chapter 166: Kimimaro's Bone Whip
He returned to his long - missed and warm family. With the love of his parents and brother, he was in a bright and spacious room, lying in a warm and clean bed.
He took a gentle sniff. Having been away for years, the quilt at home still had the smell of the Sun. His mother must have taken it out to air from time to time. Whenever this happened, Sasuke thought that he was really a bad boy for making his parents worry.
He was about to pull the curtain and step out when he saw a flustered face blocking the door, hesitating whether to knock or not.
"Y - you're back..."
Naruto looked embarrassed. The words he had rehearsed several times in the heart just couldn't come out of his mouth.
Looking at Sasuke's cold face, he felt a bit disheartened and was about to turn around and go back.
"Naruto, you've really grown a lot."
Hearing this, Naruto turned his head in surprise. His face was as red as a ripe tomato, and he was so nervous that he couldn't say a word.
He vaguely remembered that in his past life, although he had also grown a lot at this time, he seemed to be about the same height as Sasuke.
Naruto slowly approached and gestured the height difference between them with his hand. There was at least a two - or three - centimeter gap.
"Wh - what? Really? I thought you had new tools and wouldn't need me anymore."
It was like a childish and sulky remark. His eyes shifted, and he didn't dare to look Sasuke in the eye, afraid that he would notice the joy in his eyes that he could barely hold back.
"Yeah, just because I was a bit cold in my attitude, how long are you going to be mad at me..."
"It's way more than just a bit... Do you know how much I've been looking forward to our meeting? Since you left, I've kept a close eye on every bit of news about you. I've been training like crazy every day, hoping to reunite with you sooner. I worked so hard and finally became strong as you'd said. But when we finally met, you were so cold. We're at least friends and family, right? You really broke my heart with this attitude."
The joy was diluted in an instant. They were supposed to be friends, but it felt like Sasuke's heart was so far away from him. Sasuke was moving forward towards his goal, while it seemed that he alone was standing still.
"Sorry, when I saw you just now, I was a bit slow to react."
Looking at those blue eyes that had dimmed because of sadness, Sasuke's heart softened involuntarily.
This guy has always been chasing after me, both in this life and the past one. Now, Naruto had become strong enough to share everything he knew with him.
"Naruto, I..."
"Sasuke, something terrible has happened! Those old guys from Konoha are causing trouble again!"
"Um~"
The atmosphere felt a bit off!
As soon as Suigetsu rushed in in a hurry, he saw the two of them standing there staring blankly at each other. Sasuke's lips were still trembling slightly, as if he was about to say something.
"Did I interrupt you ------"
"Suigetsu, what did you just say?"
The hard - won atmosphere was ruined by this unexpected guy. Naruto was very unhappy, but Sasuke ignored Naruto and instead turned to Suigetsu and asked.
"As soon as we were assigned here, a team surrounded the place. At the head were an old man and an old hag. They were very arrogant!"
The old man and the old hag.
A trace of contempt flashed across Sasuke's eyes. These guys are just leftovers from the last era. I can't believe they dared to come here and cause a stir.
"Let's go over and take a look."
"Are you sure it's okay, Sasuke?"
Naruto always had a feeling that these people meant no good and asked worriedly.
"Don't worry. This is the Uchiha's turf. Who do they think they are, coming to my doorstep and acting all high and mighty?"
..............
When Sasuke arrived, the men he brought and the Uchiha clan were facing off against the Anbu forces led by Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado from afar.
"Sasuke, although you really want us to stay under your command, it seems that these guys from Konoha don't welcome us."
A hint of killing intent flashed in Kimimaro's eyes as he looked at them. Being obstructed time and time again, anyone would be unhappy.
They had finally managed to stabilize the situation, but then these guys came to provoke them. They were like annoying bugs, sticky and disgusting.
Kimimaro's form changed slightly. Purple eye shadow instantly covered his eye sockets. Coupled with his fair skin and silver-white hair, he looked even more mysterious.
"Since you insist on causing trouble, I won't hold back!"
"That's... Sage Transformation!"
Koharu Utatane, who had been confident before, finally showed a look of shock.
How was it possible! In Konoha, only Jiraiya could achieve Sage Transformation. That's why he was known as the Toad Sage.
But this young boy in front of them, only in his teens, had already mastered Sage Transformation perfectly. Moreover, he seemed to be more proficient than Jiraiya.
"Come at us if you have any complaints!"
Kimimaro gently moved his fair arm and pulled out a seemingly soft Bone Whip from his spine. As he waved his arm, it was like a coiling snake, biting fiercely at the front line.
In an instant, the Bone Whip wrapped around their bodies. The intense suffocation held them tight. With the Bone Whip around their necks, their eyes bulged and they gasped for air with open mouths.
Seeing this, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado finally started to panic. They probably thought that with their large numbers, they would have the upper hand. They never dreamed that in Konoha, there would be someone who wouldn't give them any face.
"What are you doing? Stop right now. Do you really want to start a war with Konoha?"
The old skin of the two of them trembled involuntarily, but Kimimaro ignored them. Instead, another longer Bone Whip appeared in his other hand.
It wound and twisted, instantly trapping them within the Bone Whip.
"Let... let me go... cough..."
They were old and couldn't withstand such intense suffocation. They immediately started coughing violently.
Seeing that Kimimaro had had enough fun, Sasuke stepped aside and said carelessly:
"Kimimaro, it's too cruel of you to bully these two old people. They're so pitiful."
"It's these two guys who are in the wrong. I didn't do anything, yet they drew their weapons on us. Since they chose to fight, they should be ready to face death!"
"
The Bone Whip around their necks tightened a bit more. The two men were purple in the face. Kimimaro was deliberately torturing them slowly until they died. It would be a waste to put such people out of their misery.
"Sasuke, I don't have a good impression of these two guys either, but if things go on like this, it'll be hard to negotiate with Konoha again."
Naruto didn't want Sasuke to face off against those Konoha high-ranking officials right after he returned. Those old, shady scumbags should just rot in the shadows and stop bothering others.
