Naruto: The Prince of Lust Chapter 318

"Of course you’d believe otherwise," Gaara replied, taking a step back and standing next to his older sister despite glaring at Naruto the entire ti. "Temari," he commands.

"...He’s right Uzumaki," Temari hesitates to starts. Recalling the need for eye contact, her teal eyes snap to his blue ones as she practically growls, "d-didn’t you ever ask yourself how soone like possibly fall in love with soone like you? I never l-loved you; no, not such a weak, ugly, m-monster like you! I faked everything when we were together—my attraction, my joy, my desire for you, all fake." Temari takes a heavy breath as she fights to add, "a-and I laughed! Laughed at you after you left! We all laughed at how pathetic you are!" Kankurō chuckles from Gaara’s other side as Temari finishes, "soone as pathetic as you should honestly just d-die!"

Even though Naruto knows Temari is lying, watching the three stand united as soone he cares about reviles him still hurts to see and hear. Naruto couldn’t even put on a brave smile even when he’s had a lot of practice throughout his life doing so. She said the words he fears the most and regardless of how false they were, he’s grown to cherish Temari, her laugh, her cocky attitude, her intelligence, and her drive to prove herself. To hear her mouth say those words simply hurt.

"Tell them all," Gaara commands, and Temari looks surprised to hear the command.

She tightens her jaw before calling out for all of Naruto’s friends to hear, "t-this guy is so pathetic, so weak, he thought he deserves love." Temari yells louder, "it was so easy to toy with him. Show him a little affection, and he beca my p-pet; did anything I wanted like a lost little puppy. I turned him into my bitch. I’m- Uzumaki is a monster... That n-no one could possibly lo-ve and deserves to d-die."

Sasuke, Shino, Kiba, Hinata, and Neji all stare at Naruto and the sudden drama unfold. Though Sasuke and Neji didn’t care much, Shino remained quiet, and Kiba actually looked offended, Hinata felt anger within her rise higher than even when she fought Sakura. Hinata’s anger triggered her Byakugan to focus on the sandy-blond kunoichi and what she saw made her calm down so. Sothing about her posture and erratic chakra flow told Hinata that Temari was in turmoil and possibly being dishonest.

Publicly humiliated in front of his colleagues—in front of his rival—Naruto attempted to laugh it off but it didn’t even sound convincing to himself. Despite knowing she likely doesn’t an it, it still hurts to hear and Naruto takes an uncertain step away from Temari. Gaara steps closely in front of Naruto to assure him, "this is why I will kill you today." Maniacally gleeful by Naruto’s pain, he continues happily, "because you foolishly believed that soone you trusted would return your love. When you love others and are betrayed, it’s the worst pain this world has to offer and you will beg to relieve you of it monts before I crush you in my sand."

Eying the redhead without much reaction, Naruto sadly turns and walks over to the corner of the observation deck, away from everyone, and leans heavily on the railing. Hinata, Kiba, and Shino join him to keep him company, though Kiba is still pissed on his behalf, and yells, "you fucking bitches better pray you don’t et in the finals, cuz if I see you in a round, I’m drilling ya six feet under!"

NEJI VS HINATA

"Hyūga Neji," Genma begins to call. "Hyūga Hinata. Please co down."

Neji ignores everyone as he coldly walks down to the battle arena. After Shino and Kiba give her their support, Hinata follows Neji’s direction. She’s by the stairs leading down to the ground floor when Naruto slowly calls her na, missing his usual liveliness. It made Hinata angry to think people he’s been trying to be friends with would go so far to hurt him and nearly wish her match was with Temari rather than Neji.

"Hey, Hinata," Naruto voices drawing her attention. Naruto knows this match will be difficult for her but she doesn’t seem overly nervous in his estimation. It reminds him of Naru-nii assertion that she’ll be a top-tier kunoichi in the future and with a small but genuine smile, he shares, "I wanted to say it properly... thanks for helping earlier; in the training grounds. I believe in you too, so, no matter what, give it your all, and I know you’ll be happy in the end."

Her eyes widened in disbelief. Her face blushes as she gasps, "thank you, Naruto-kun." With stern resolve, she adds, "for everything."

With a tight fist-pump, he encourages her, "show him what you got."

He expected her to nod and leave, but she stays and asks, "when this is over, can... w-would you still like my h-help... with ch-chakra control exercises?"

At the thought of mastering the Hiraishin next, Naruto genially answers, "definitely. I’ve been itching to get to that."

Though she couldn’t profess to him, ’please, watch ,’ she does nod and bow before making her way down. Naruto returns to his fellow Konoha shinobi and spies a glance toward Temari and Gaara. Gaara is happy to see Naruto’s hurt expression, but Naruto knows it isn’t for the sa reason. Though facing away from him, Naruto can see Temari’s conflicted and low-spirited appearance in her rigid posture. It was as if soone broke her instead of him. Sighing in sympathy, Naruto relocates that energy and saves it for his fight with Gaara, eager to unleash everything he has on him.

—

As Hinata follows her cousin to the center of the arena below, Kurenai’s mind curses, ’fuck!’ as her eyes widen in gut-sinking fear. Her knees buckle, her skin heats, and her chest tightens in sha and agony. With her full sight on Hinata, the Genjutsu Mistress of Konoha has only just realized that she’s in love with the sa boy her most cherished, daughter-like student loves.

’Oh, fuck... fuck, fuck fuck,’ her mind constantly repeats, panicking over this scenario playing out in the most obvious way; her absolutely decimating Hinata’s heart. Kurenai wants to rip her hair out for finding herself in such an absurd predicant. ’Being in love with Naruto would obviously an betraying Hinata,’ her mind painfully addresses.
