Chapter 208 - 206: I think you love the cakes

Chapter 208: Chapter 206: I think you love the cakes

"Hmph, I think you love the cakes, not me."

"That’s not true~" Ino hugged Kano and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I obviously love you."

As soon as Kano took the small cakes out of the shadow, Ino snatched them from her hand. Kano just smiled; she had bought them for her anyway.

Then Kano took out twelve portions of BBQ, giving Choji six and one portion to everyone else.

"Thanks, Kano. You’re so nice."

Choji liked Kano a lot, but unlike other boys who liked Kano for her cute appearance, he liked Kano purely because she brought him delicious food every time.

Shikamaru also took a portion and started eating. They were just thinking about making do with some dry rations for lunch; Kano’s arrival was perfectly timed.

"Big brother, did any problems come up while I was away?"

"A few stray Ninjas came to attack us, but they were all dealt with quite easily. The bodies are tied behind the carriage and being dragged along; you can take them for your own use."

Shikamaru knew what the essence of his sister’s ability was, so he tried his best to help.

"Thanks, big brother."

Kano jumped off the carriage to reclaim a few shadows. Finding no female Ninjas, she didn’t even bother looking and threw them all to Shadow Deer Tube.

To be honest, with Shadow Deer Tube’s current strength, unless it was someone with a special mechanic he couldn’t counter, he could easily handle any other Kage-level opponent.

"If I could stuff the Eight Gates into him, that would be truly incredible."

After disposing of the bodies, Kano sent a message to Kakuzu telling him he could head back first. Then Sakura approached, looking a bit conflicted as she spoke to Kano.

"Can I talk to Sasuke-kun for a bit today?"

Kano felt a bit troubled. Lately, Sakura had been coming to borrow the Phone Snake from time to time, wanting to chat with Sasuke. In exchange, Sakura had been very obedient to Kano, helping her with many things.

After all, Sakura was her friend, and such a simple request wasn’t impossible, but... "You just made Sasuke angry yesterday. How about you wait a few more days? You can look for him once he’s calmed down."

Sasuke was also Kano’s friend, and more importantly, her teammate. Sasuke clearly didn’t want to talk to Sakura; he had been visibly impatient the last few times. It was only because Kano used Itachi’s current situation as bait that Sasuke was willing to chat for a few sentences.

In the end, that idiot Sakura tried to use the topic of Itachi to talk to Sasuke as well, but then she said something bad about Itachi, and Sasuke immediately got angry.

"Besides, what you said was indeed quite excessive. No matter what, Itachi is still Sasuke’s brother. It’s just like how I’d get angry if someone said bad things about my brother."

"I know it was my fault, so I want to apologize to Sasuke-kun. I hope he can forgive me."

Seeing the pitiful look in Sakura’s eyes, Kano’s heart softened.

"Fine, but if he doesn’t forgive you this time, you’d better stop bothering him for a while."

"Mm, thank you so much, Kano."

Sakura started apologizing to the connected Phone Snake, rambling on about so many things.

To be honest, Kano couldn’t even listen anymore. This was just too pathetic; it was practically as pathetic as Naruto was in the original work.

On Sasuke’s end, only his heavy breathing could be heard; it seemed he hadn’t slacked off on his training while taking the call. Sakura talked there by herself for over ten minutes, and Sasuke didn’t say a single word.

Facing such silent treatment, Sakura also felt very aggrieved. She wanted to hear a response from Sasuke, even if it was a scolding.

"Please, just say something to me. Let’s not have a cold war anymore, okay?"

Finally, Sakura got the response she (didn’t quite) wanted.

"You want to have a hot war with me?"
