Chapter 390: A New Title!
Chapter 390: A New Title!
Meanwhile, an oppressive aura covered the spectator rooms as Inoichi, Ino’s father, glared at Naruto so hard that it was only a question of time before he caught fire and turned into ashes.
Luckily, he wasn’t here during Anko’s fight against Haku, so he didn’t hear Anko’s comment about Haku training her body, which would undoubtedly result in a battle to the death.
It was almost like Naruto predicted that Anko would try to mess with him, so he “accidentally” gave Inoichi the wrong starting time. Truly a fascinating coincidence.
Although Inoichi was currently glaring daggers at Naruto, his true thoughts about Naruto dating his daughter had actually mellowed out quite a bit; Not that he would ever admit that thought.
Somehow, his cute little daughter, whose only goal in life was attracting Sasuke’s attention without sparing a single thought about actually becoming a shinobi, became someone who was not only stronger than himself but could even fight and defeat an Elite Jonin.
Currently, Ino could be considered one of Konoha’s strongest shinobi. Inoichi did not doubt that Yuna and Naruto had something to do with that, so could he really stay angry at Naruto for dating his daughter?
Damn straight he could! It was the privilege of the father-in-law to be unreasonably protective about his daughter, and Inoichi planned to abuse that privilege for as long as he possibly could.
Naruto could only smile wryly when he saw the constantly changing facial expression of Inochi. That, combined with the rapidly changing emotions he felt oozing out of Inoichi, really left Naruto speechless.
‘What the hell!? How in the world is he switching so quickly from hostility to acceptance and back to hostility? Did nee-san do something?’
[Well, hasn’t he always been pretty crazy? Pretty sure that you sleeping with his daughter was the final straw that broke his mind.]
‘*Tsk* I blame it on his wife who hit his head with a frying pan one too many times.’
[True, that is a possibility as well.]
“*Cough* is there a problem, father-in-law? You appear to be slightly agitated; are you dissatisfied with something?”
Inoichi was still pondering how he was supposed to act in front of Naruto when he heard Naruto calling him father-in-law, almost causing one of his blood vessels to burst in anger.
His eyes were turning redder and redder, and he was just about to go into a rage-induced rant about all kinds of things that he was dissatisfied about when the door opened and Hinata and Ino entered the room.
As soon as Ino saw her father’s current condition, she squinted her eyes and started glaring at him.
“Dad, are you about to harass Naruto again? Haven’t we talked about this?”
Inoichi straightened his back when he heard the slightly angry undertone in his daughter’s voice and immediately but a friendly expression on his face.
“Haha, what are you saying, Ino? Naruto and I are getting along perfectly well, isn’t that right, Naruto?”
Inoichi happily hugged Naruto’s shoulder with a facial expression that was only one step away from crying tears of blood while clenching his teeth so hard that Naruto did not doubt that even people in the next room could hear them grinding together.
His first instinct was throwing Inoichi under the bus, but he somehow felt like Inoichi would go for the double-suicide if he did so.
“Hahaha, of course, father-in-law? Don’t worry, Ino, father-in-law and I are getting along great!”
Although Ino very much doubted that, she simply shrugged her shoulders and approached Naruto, kissing him, resulting in a loud crack echoing through the room.
Inoichi had just clenched his jaw so hard that, at the very least, one of his teeth cracked, causing Naruto to chuckle nervously. He really wanted to tell Ino not to overdo it with affectionate displays in front of her father, but in the end, he just shrugged it off.
‘If he dies, he dies.’
[That’s quite ruthless. I approve!]
Anyway, Naruto decided to change the topic to prevent Inoichi’s untimely death despite his inner thoughts.
“Well, that aside, it was awe-inspiring how you managed to weave through Hinata’s attacks, Ino. So Awesome!”
Unfortunately, Naruto’s plan immediately backfired as a happy smile appeared on Ino’s face while she hugged Naruto’s arm, pressing it between her breasts, causing Inoichi to cough up some blood.
“*Cough* Y-Yeah, Ino, t-that was really impressive.”
Inoichi frantically tried to get Ino away from Naruto, but unfortunately, Ino casually dismissed his praise.
“Geez, it was no big deal, dad. After training as hard as I did, it is only natural that I could do something like that.”
He really wanted to cry at how different he was treated compared to Naruto, but he simply doted on Ino too much to issue any complaints.
Unfortunately for Naruto, Ino, and Inoichi, they forgot one simple fact. Yuna was in the room as well.
“Hehe, it seems like you are rather happy about the performance of your two girlfriends, Naruto. How about pampering them lots tonight to show them how much you apprentice them. I’m sure the additional effort they put into strengthening their body will be put to good use~”
It was like lightning struck multiple people in the room simultaneously.
While Ino and Haku blushed crimson, Naruto’s face paled while looking at Yuna like she had just stabbed a dagger into his heart.
Inoichi fell on his knees while coughing out some more blood, while it looked like his two eyes slowly turned crimson red while the form of his pupils appeared to change. Additionally, killing intent started flooding out of Zabuza as mist slowly started filling the room, gradually hiding his form.
Eery silence covered the room, while the only thing that could be heard were Yuna and Anko’s mad giggles as they observed the scene of carnage in front of them.
Moments later, battle intent flooded the room as Zabuza and Inoichi started attacking Naruto.
“”DIE!!!””
Without a second of hesitation, Naruto dodged Inoichi’s attack, who tried to hold him down with a mind control jutsu, so Zabuza could cut him and left the room at lightning speed, closely followed by Zabuza and Inoichi.
“I WILL DEFINITELY PAY YOU BACK FOR THIS, NEE-SAN!!! MY REVENGE WILL BE HORRIBLE!!!”
Despite Naruto’s threat, a happy smile appeared on Yuna’s face as she started waving at Naruto.
“Okay~ Have fun out there, Naruto~ Oh, and good luck~”
