Naruto: Freeloading is Great! [18]

Question: if a guy in front of you suddenly, without warning, blurts out a perverted request to see that thing of yours… and that guy happens to have knowledge you desperately need… in that case, should you agree or refuse?

After the perverted homosexual Naruto, Uchiha Nii-chan Jr. had also become a damned homosexual.

Terrified, Hoshino wordlessly backed away in the opposite direction from Sasuke.

Why, Nii-chan Jr., why did you turn out like this? Don’t tell me being gay is contagious!?

Leaving aside Hoshino, stunned into idiocy by cruel reality, Sasuke still kept her head lowered, not daring to meet his eyes.

That outrageous request—she had wrestled with it for a long time before deciding. She had no choice. Itachi’s condition might have stabilized, but there was still no sign of improvement. The doctors said the only way was to make him once again firmly believe Sasuke was male.

She recalled Itachi’s murmured words before collapsing: “You’ll grow it…” After flipping through books, Sasuke had learned men had “strengths” and women had “deficiencies.” But she still didn’t know what that male “strength” actually looked like. She had to see it herself in order to better fool Itachi, to get him up from his sickbed.

So Sasuke thought of Hoshino. Seeing how madly he liked her—enough to ignore gender—her resistance toward looking at his “strength” had dropped to zero.

“Please… just once. Just one look, that’s all…!”

“Th-this… wait, wait wait wait, why mine? Don’t you think there are… better candidates?”

The “better candidate” Hoshino meant was, of course, Naruto.

Naruto, also a gaylord, chasing Sasuke day and night—no matter how you thought about it, this kind of perverted favor should’ve been asked of that brat, not him.

“B-because… Hoshino, you’re the one who… l-likes… uuu~! Anyway, aside from you I couldn’t accept looking at anyone else’s ‘strength.’ You’re the most suitable… no, the only one…!”

“Uuughh—!!”

Her sudden “confession” made Hoshino stumble backward in shock. His heel caught on his own bed, and in his panic he toppled onto it.

Sure, he had always thought about clinging to the “Chosen One’s” thigh. But selling off his flower in exchange? Absolutely unacceptable!

To suddenly discover Nii-chan Jr. was also gay, and even liked him—it drove Hoshino’s mind right to the edge of collapse. His tongue tripped, unable to say anything to this “sugar daddy” Sasuke.

While Hoshino’s brain froze, Sasuke, hearing the sound of his fall, cautiously lifted her head. She saw Hoshino lying silently on the bed, not answering her at all.

Th-this… is he hinting that if I want to see, I’ll have to undress him myself…!?

Grasping that “hint,” Sasuke’s face turned so red it looked like it would bleed. Still, she rose to her feet.

Not only would this help her brother recover, but it would also fulfill the desire of a man who liked her to the point of madness.

With this “kill two birds with one stone” self-hypnosis, Sasuke’s steps wavered, but her direction was precise—straight toward the stunned Hoshino.

She’s coming…! She’s already lost her mind, hasn’t she!?

Frozen stiff, Hoshino could only think of Sasuke shambling toward him like a zombie, eyes set on his flower. His left hand, hidden under the pillow, clutched a kunai tight.

But if he actually stabbed her, the consequences would be unthinkable. With a grimace, he released the kunai and prepared to handle this with fists instead.

Step. Step. Step.

His shabby little shack wasn’t large. Even though Sasuke’s pace had shrunk to tiny, embarrassed steps, she reached his bedside quickly.

Can’t wait any longer. Strike first!

Clenching his teeth, Hoshino lunged.

Thud—

“Yah—!”

Sasuke yelped as Hoshino pinned her hands with one of his, looming over her. Before his fist could knock her back to her senses, he growled her name, eyes flashing like a beast in heat.

“Uchiha Sasuke…”

Staring into his glowing red eyes, Sasuke panicked. This wasn’t what she had meant at all! She only wanted to look at the “strength,” not to experience it!

“L-let me go…”

“Not until you calm down.”

With that, Hoshino raised his free right hand. He had to knock her back to reason today—otherwise who knew when she’d next come at him with dirty thoughts.

Though her book knowledge was limited—she’d only crammed these past few days—she still knew one thing: a man only cools down after releasing his white fluid. Desperate and helpless, Sasuke screamed:

“N-no, I don’t want it—!!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll control the force. I won’t make you hurt so much you wish you were dead…”

Just as Hoshino’s fist (his “strength”) was about to hit Sasuke’s face (ram her flower), the rickety wooden door suddenly burst open.

“Hoshino…! Uu, those idiots at the Police Force scolded me because they didn’t believe you killed me… and… and… you bastard, what the hell are you doing!!”

Using the spare key to come in, Naruto had just started crying about his “report” when he froze. What he saw was Hoshino apparently trying to violently force Sasuke. Instantly, he snapped—flying in with a kick.

Thud—!

“Ughhh! You—you kicked the wrong—”

Hoshino thought Naruto had come to help him knock sense into Sasuke. But Naruto’s kick nailed him in the skull. Before he could even finish the sentence, he let out a strangled groan and collapsed unconscious.

“Sasuke! Are you alright?”

“…Na-Naruto?”

Eyes wet with tears, Sasuke opened them to see Naruto standing there like a savior. She turned—Hoshino’s limp body was sliding slowly down the wall.

…

When Hoshino woke, it was already noon the next day.

Getting up to use the toilet before going to beat Naruto senseless, he made a horrifying discovery: his pants zipper had somehow migrated to the back. His clothes had been flipped—front to back.

He thought of it all. Himself unconscious. Gaylord Sasuke, harboring filthy thoughts. Gaylord Naruto, loving Sasuke to the point of insanity. And his pants, suddenly turned backwards.

Th-this, this this this…!

“While I was out cold… I was… I was tag-teamed by two guys… t-ta… ahhhhhh!!! No—!! I don’t believe it—!!!”
