Book Two: Road to Konohamaru

Chapter 3

We finally reached the entrance gate of Yugakure with three stop-over to give the horses to rest on our journey and us also had to recharge our energy like the horses.

It was a small village and it was my first time to get in here in person. I've heard about their hot springs in advertisements in newspapers, which it's the village's main tourist attractions.

It was the village's source of income too that tourist only went here to soak into one of those springs that they are famous for.

And here we are, in the village gate, waiting for the person who was said to lead us the way and to a place reserved for us to stay.

Yugakure doesn't have a leader like a kage since it's a small village unlike the four great nations and wasn't affiliated in any country. But I had been informed that they do have a leader that governs this small town.

And like any country, they had to do a thorough check first before allowing anyone to enter their territory.

"What's taking him so long?" Kyousuke grumbled in frustration then turned his sharp gaze into Yumi who is Miki here. "Did you inform him when will be the time of our arrival?" He growls.

I'm tired of naming her "Yumi who is Miki here." Remember, from now on, I will name her "Miki," not that because I like it. It's because that's her identity in this world. Yumi doesn't exist here, so I'll stick to just join with what was their usual.

"I did, like around sunset we will be here and also the day we're going here. I even asked my elder brother to remind him about it," she answered.

Our client poked her head out of the window of her carriage with her attention was to Sasuke. And again with the high-pitched voice, she calls his name.

I've been in her age, but I was busy taking care of my pet frog on that stage. I could never understand girl's love interest, but I do understand that Sasuke was cool and all.

And remembering how this Sasuke acts with this little girl on our way to here, I can't stand it! All the sweetness. All the gentleness. All the romance. All of it, disgust me!

I'm used to the fact that he could charm girls in any ages, but I never thought that he could play along with them too. Even it's just an act! That never crossed my mind.
The Sasuke that I know, he will ignore everyone of them.

Is this also one of the person's identity that got altered?

Oh, I guess this can't be counted as another person with different persona. This Sasuke was a clone anyway.

The Sasuke in this world was somewhere wondering around like how it was in my real world. Maybe had a little different, like not a rouge or a yakuza like guy.

Great, I could never guess what will be coming next.

"Sorry if I got here late. Did you guys waited that long?"

I rolled my eyes in irritation. Finally! We could get a pleasant rest!

I wanted to go to sleep and expect to wake up from this nightmare right after I got my strength back.

Yeah, you heard me right. I am still hoping to wake up naturally from this nightmare.

"Hidan-san! What took you so long? I almost turned into an ice popsicle!" Says Miki─not Yumi, in the verge of tears, probably because Kyousuke was getting impatient and it was her that was chosen to vent out.

And Kyousuke did had the guts to threaten Yumi in the body of Miki, which is the total opposite of what the fact would be. It's true that they are always on each other's throats, but Kyousuke never threatens her in a tone that could confuse you if he's serious or not.
