Chapter 178 - 176: Teasing Temari
[Ito Makoto: Grandpas, you really know me too well! You figured it out so fast. Hehehe...]
[Hyuga Hizashi: You little brat! You already have my niece, the Yamanaka girl, and, most importantly, you've even reserved Tsunade, the First Hokage's granddaughter! And now you're eyeing girls from other villages?! You shameless scumbag!]
[Ito Makoto: Hey, hey! Don't spread false accusations! I'm not a scumbag, I just want to give all the girls a home! Also, spreading misinformation is a punishable offense, you know?]
Back in the real world, Kankuro and Temari took a nervous glance at the kids surrounding them. They weren't that old themselves, but something about this group felt off.
It wasn't just the numbers, it was the fact that they were all wearing the same outfit, standing in formation like some kind of gang.
Temari and Kankuro felt genuinely intimidated.
Temari quickly spoke up, assuming Makoto was the leader. "I apologize on behalf of my brother! This was all a misunderstanding."
"We didn't actually mean to hurt that little kid. Kankuro was just joking around, that's all!"
Kankuro, still sweating bullets, frantically nodded. "Y-Yeah! Just a joke! A total misunderstanding!"
Makoto stepped forward, still smiling, and casually reached out before patting Temari on the head.
"Relax," he said. "It's no big deal."
