Naruto Immersive Replay, The Curse of the Sharingan

Page 246

After saying that, he left without waiting for Deidara's reaction, keeping his achievements hidden.

Deidara: "???"

He stared at the tightly closed doors of Sasori's studio, then at the direction Itachi had disappeared in, utterly bewildered. "Who would help spread this kind of message?!" he thought. He certainly didn't want Sasori to be alone with him!

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him, and he snapped his fingers. "Aha! I've got it!"

He immediately hopped over and found Hidan wiping his blood-stained three-month scythe in the corner, revealing a mysterious expression. "Hey, Hidan, I have good news for you!"

"Huh?" Hidan looked at him suspiciously.

"That wicked woman told me to tell you a message for Sasori!" Deidara leaned closer and lowered his voice, "She's going to spar with Sasori tonight! A fight to the death!"

"What?!" Hidan instantly became excited, his eyes widening. "Has the Jashin finally opened his eyes?! That's great! Finally, a decent offering has been reserved! Although Sasori's blood might not be very fresh..." He even began to consider which sacrificial ritual would be more suitable.

Deidara, out of Hidan's sight, revealed a sly grin of triumph. "Perfect! Letting that idiot Hidan cause trouble? Sasori is definitely in for it!"

So, Hidan, burdened by this heavy responsibility, shouldered his large scythe and rushed towards the base's higher-ups. He remembered that Sasori had gone to the office to hand in the mission.

At that moment, Nagato and Konan were in the office listening to Sasori's mission report. Sasori finished his concise summary and was about to leave.

"Bang!" The office door was violently kicked open.

Hidan stormed in, scythe pointed directly at Sasori, and shouted, "Sasori! Prepare to die! The Jashin has issued a divine decree! Tonight, I will fight you to the death! Hahaha!"

Nagato: "???"

Xiao Nan: "!!!"

The two instinctively looked at Sasori, then at Hidan, whose face was filled with fanaticism. What kind of new performance art was this?

Sasori didn't even lift his eyelids. "Nonsense." He picked up the organized documents, walked past Hidan, and headed out.

He knew it was impossible; Hidan must be going crazy again.

"Hey! Don't you believe me?!" Hidan, seeing Sasori ignoring him, hurriedly chased after him to explain, "It's true! Deidara told me himself!...Although I embellished it a little..."

Upon hearing the name Deidara, Sasori abruptly stopped in his tracks.

He slowly turned around, his eyes coldly fixed on Hidan, radiating a low-pressure aura. "You mean Deidara got involved too?"

Hidan felt a chill run down his spine under Sasori's gaze, his imposing aura instantly diminishing by half, his eyes darting around. "I... I just used a different way of putting it that's more in line with the doctrines of the Jashin..."

Scorpion's eyes grew even colder. Very well, even a simple message can escalate into a world war.

In the evening, you finally saw Tsunade off and returned to the base hall. As soon as you entered, you sensed that something was wrong.

The hall was fairly full of people, but the most eye-catching were Deidara and Hidan, who were tightly bound by strong chakra threads, hanging upside down from the hall's ornate ceiling like two lambs to the slaughter, swaying slightly with inertia.

Deidara's face turned red with anger, while Hidan continued to shout, "The Jashin will punish you!"

Sasori stood below expressionlessly, toying with several connected chakra threads in his hand.

"What are you doing...?" You walked forward in confusion, looking up at the humanoid decoration. "What trouble have you gotten into now?"

Seeing you return, Sasori calmly turned his head and stated, "Hidan said you want to fight me to the death tonight."

Your eyes widened instantly, and you almost choked on your saliva. "I didn't! Absolutely not! I just said I was going to your room to study the puppets! What kind of nonsense is that?!"

“I know.” Scorpion’s tone remained calm, but his gaze turned colder as he looked at the two figures on the ceiling. “I didn’t believe their nonsense.”

He was simply punishing the guy who spread rumors and stirred up trouble.

You suddenly realized, there really was a big problem! You sighed and rubbed your forehead, "What kind of mess is this?"

Walking up to Scorpion, you said somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry, it was my oversight. I shouldn't have let someone pass on the message so easily. Shall we... go and discuss the puppet first?"

Scorpion nodded, which was taken as agreement.

Before turning to follow Sasori away, you seemingly casually raised your hand, and a tiny wisp of wind-attribute chakra subtly gathered at your fingertips, which you then gently swiped.

With two soft clicks, the chakra threads binding Deidara and Hidan snapped.

Caught off guard, the two fell hard. Scorpion paused, having noticed what had happened.

But he didn't turn around, nor did he say anything.

However, the corners of his lips, which were usually tightly pressed together and lacked color, seemed to curve upwards slightly.

As for those two troublemakers... there's plenty of time for them to come back to us.

【Apologetic Love Affair】—Werewolf Game: The Wolf Knight

OS: This doesn't involve reality. The author is an amateur gamer and is simply writing side stories. Professional terms are explained. It's best if you can understand them; if not, just focus on the story and don't worry about the game.

"Round 1, Design: Twelve Werewolf Knights"

配置:狼美人×1、狼人×3、平民×4、骑士×1、女巫×1、预言家×1、守卫×1.

"Are you clear on the rules?" Xiao Nan looked around, her cool voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible excitement.

"Hmph, what a boring game." Madara Uchiha crossed his arms, leaned back in his chair, looking disdainful of participating, but he didn't leave.

"Tsk, I'd rather study explosion art." Deidara fiddled with a small piece of clay in his hand.

"Let's get started! I want to be a werewolf! I'll kill you all and offer you to the evil god!" Hidan was already waving his arms impatiently.

Kakuzu pushed up his glasses. "Is there a stake? A game without the incentive of money is meaningless."

Itachi and Shisui sat quietly, their eyes quickly scanning all the cards, seemingly analyzing probabilities and strategies.

Yahiko smiled and smoothed things over, "Relax, just think of it as organizational building."

Lin gently prepared snacks and drinks.

Scorpion remained expressionless, as if he were simply performing a mechanical task.

Nagato, acting as the referee, shuffled the cards with a blank expression.

Meanwhile, you rest your chin on your hand, looking at this group of very different guys, and think it's a miracle that the game is going smoothly.

The cards have been distributed.

"Please close your eyes when it gets dark."

Everyone closed their eyes as instructed (Ban reluctantly closed his eyes).

"Werewolf, please open your eyes."

You slowly open your eyes, and at the same time, Itachi opposite you, and... Deidara diagonally opposite you, and Hidan with an excited look on his face that says "It's finally my turn."

The four exchanged glances. Itachi, with a deep look in his eyes, nodded slightly, indicating that he was a wolf teammate.

Deidara winked and mouthed, "Watch this! Hmm!" Hidan almost shouted it out, but Itachi glared at him and stopped him.

You facepalm. This wolf team... has a rather peculiar setup. You silently point to yourself, indicating that you are the wolf beauty. Itachi nods again.

"Werewolf, please confirm your teammates... Werewolf Beauty, please confirm... Werewolf, please close your eyes."

Nagato announced emotionlessly, "Last night was Christmas Eve."

Everyone looked at each other.

When it was time to speak, we started with Yahiko.

Yahiko (suspected prophet): "I examined Tanuki..." He paused, looked at you, his eyes gentle, "She is my... good person." (He almost said 'sweetheart,' but changed his words at the last second).

You: "......" His acting skills are a bit poor.

Xiao Nan (suspected witch): "I saved someone, as for who I saved... I'll keep that a secret for now." Her gaze swept across the room, finally lingering on you for a moment.

Deidara (the werewolf) claims to be the Seer: "I checked and killed Scorpion! Hmm! He must be a werewolf! I saw it last night!" (He's relentlessly targeting Scorpion.)

Scorpion (indifferently): "Idiot. Move on."

Hidan (Werewolf): "I believe in the evil god! The evil god says Madara is a good person! Uh, no, the evil god says... Ahhh, anyway, I believe in the evil god! Pass!" (Logically broken).

Kakuzu (suspected guard): "The economic base determines the superstructure. Last night I protected the most important 'asset'."

Lin (who appears to be a hunter) smiled gently throughout, saying, "I trust everyone's judgment."

Shisui (suspected Knight): "The smile won't disappear, it will just shift~ I think Yahiko's statement is good."

The werewolf's statement was brief: "Pass." But his eyes kept glancing at you, seemingly casually.

Ban: "The game of ants, over."

When it's your (the werewolf's) turn to speak, try your best to appear sincere: "I'm a good person, Yahiko shouldn't be lying, right? Deidara's claim to be the seer is a bit abrupt, let's hear from him again."

In the first round of voting, Deidara was voted out by everyone for his fake prophetic act. He stormed off, yelling, "You guys don't understand art! Huh!"

The next night.

The werewolf opened his eyes, and only you, Itachi, and Hidan remained (Hidan almost screamed again before his mouth was covered).

You've decided to eliminate Ban, who was just slacking off in his speech (because you think he has a certain status).

You hesitated for a moment, then chose to seduce Yahiko, since he seemed like a true prophet and had feelings for you, making him easier to fool?

"Wolf Beauty, take action and choose the person you want to seduce tonight."

You pointed at Yahiko, and Itachi glanced at you but didn't say anything.

Nagato: "Last night, Madara Uchiha died without leaving any last words. The effects of his charm have been confirmed."

Ban snorted coldly and left like a lord, but he glanced at you before he left.

Yahiko (under the spell) said, "I...I still think Tanuki is a good person." His face was a little red, as if he was affected by the spell (psychologically).

Konan questioned, "Yahiko, something's wrong with you. Have you been bewitched?" (Witch's intuition)

Suddenly, Shisui (the Knight) activated his skill: "I activate my skill, Duel Tanuki!"

Everyone looked at Zhishui, and then at you.

The result of the duel—you are the Werewolf Beauty!

The scene exploded instantly!

"Wow!!!"

"It really is a wolf!" (Hidan)

You are forced to leave the game, but according to the rules, the wolf beauty is out, and the alluring Yahiko from last night must also commit suicide for love.

Yahiko looked shocked, then turned to you with a complex expression mixed with... a strange sweetness?

"So... this is what it feels like to be eliminated together with you..." He was actually blushing a little as he was "taken away".

You: "..." What is all this nonsense?!

At night, the werewolves (only Itachi and Hidan remained) killed Konan, who was suspected to be a witch. As expected, she used poison, poisoning the loud and boisterous Hidan.

Even after being eliminated, Hidan was still shouting, "I'll be resurrected! Ahhh!"

During the day, only Itachi, Sasori, Kakuzu, Rin, and Shisui remained.

With his strong logic and calm demeanor, Itachi successfully misled Sasori, shifting the suspicion to him.

Scorpion was speechless and voted out. Before leaving the game, he gave Itachi a cold look and said, "Despicable."

In the end, only Itachi, Kakuzu, Rin, and Shisui remained.

Kakuzu (the guard): "I have been protecting Tanuki."

Lin (Hunter): "I think... Itachi-san is a bit suspicious." But her smile was so gentle that no one saw it as a threat.

Shisui (the Knight) has no skills left.

During the voting, Itachi once again guided the vote, resulting in Kakuzu being voted out.

Kakuzu is out, "What a loss, I haven't even collected the bet yet..."

Game over, the werewolves win!

Nagato announced: "The werewolf faction has won, and the surviving werewolf is Uchiha Itachi."

Itachi nodded slightly, his face still expressionless, but when he looked at you watching from the side, a very faint smile flashed across his face.

At this moment, Lin suddenly spoke up, her smile still sweet, "But, if Mr. Itachi is a werewolf... then does he 'act' with Tanuki?"

She emphasized the word 'action'.

Instantly, all eyes were once again focused on you and Itachi.

Yahiko (who had already been eliminated) murmured, "So, werewolf teammates... work together this 'perfectly'?"
