The Strongest Gentleman Development System in Naruto

202 A truly sharp-tongued person, fearless of everything.

(Gentlemen's Exchange Kingdom: **)

As dusk fell, the setting sun cast its last rays.

In the living room, Mugetsu sat cross-legged on the tatami mat. She glanced at the furious Hyuga Takuya opposite her, then turned her head away, her face full of embarrassment and apology.

Damn it, the prospective son-in-law beat up his future brother-in-law on his very first day at the bride's home! What kind of behavior is that? If this were in China in my previous life, the relationship between the two would probably be over.

But then again, who could tell they're siblings? They don't even look alike. And this girl is so sarcastic towards her own brother!

Sewage bugs, filthy and disgusting creatures... This doesn't sound like a conversation between family members at all! Most importantly, she was just watching the show while I was making my move!

Thinking of this, Wuyue turned her gaze to Saori again, a hint of resentment in her eyes. She'd managed to prank both her brother and boyfriend at the same time; what a terrifying woman.

Saori, however, remained completely unconcerned, her expression calm as if she were detached from everything.

Hey, are you saying you don't even intend to mediate and resolve the misunderstanding? Are you going to just awkwardly apologize yourself? That would be so embarrassing! And your dad's watching right there.

At this moment, Wuyue felt a chill run down his spine and was on pins and needles. To be honest, he was really bad at this kind of interpersonal interaction. Especially since there had been a misunderstanding between the two of them before.

Although the misunderstanding was later resolved thanks to Reiko Hinata, and Reiko, as the mother of the person involved, didn't blame Mugetsu, treating it as just ordinary playful fighting between children, Mugetsu still couldn't get over it. Because no matter what, he had ultimately gone a bit too far.

Okay, then I'll apologize.

Wuyue breathed a sigh of relief and looked up. "Um, I'm very sorry. I didn't know you were Saori's brother before. I apologize for the offense."

"Hmph." Hyuga Takuya first snorted lightly, then said, "I was planning to say it, but you didn't give me the chance."

cough cough.

Wu Yue's embarrassment deepened. "Brother, is it really okay for you to say such a blunt truth? Now I don't even know how to apologize, and things are getting weirder. Or are you saying you don't want to forgive me at all? Are you planning to retaliate with words?"

Just as the atmosphere in the room was becoming increasingly awkward, Takuya Hinata suddenly changed the subject and said, "However, I can somewhat understand your thoughts. If it were my girlfriend, I wouldn't want her to have too much contact with other boys either."

"Yes, is that so..." Wuyue chuckled twice and said, "Thank you for your understanding."

"Hmph! You'd better not misunderstand." Hyuga Takuya turned his face away and said, "I'm not saying this on purpose because of your identity. Even if you are a member of the Konoha Heavenly Dragon, you are nothing special in my eyes."

"I understand, I understand." Wuyue nodded.

Regardless of what he truly thought, he outwardly appeared to agree. After all, he was his future brother-in-law, so giving him some face was no big deal.

"Well, speaking of which, you are really fast." Takuya Hinata's expression finally softened a bit, and he said casually, "Even with my eye power, I could only see a slight afterimage."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wuyue was about to offer some flattery when Saori suddenly spoke first: "I don't believe it! Your strength is not even comparable to mine, how could you possibly see Wuyue's afterimage?"

Uh.

The atmosphere in the hall instantly became awkward once again.

Wu Yue glanced at the girl beside her, her lips twitching violently.

Girl, that's your brother, give him some face, okay? He just wanted to save face a little, why did you have to tell the truth? How are we supposed to have a conversation like this?

Look at him, look at him, his face is all red! That's a bit too much to be so sabotaging him!

Seemingly noticing his son's embarrassment, Hyuga Ibuki, Saori's father, who had remained silent until now, finally couldn't stand it any longer and said calmly, "Saori, he is still your brother... Isn't it a bit too tactless of you to say such things in front of guests?"

"Oh, then I take back what I just said." Saori nodded and said, "He's not trash, he's just a bug."

Wow, she dares to be so sharp-tongued in front of her own father, that's impressive!

Wuyue has certainly seen it all.

Hinata Ibuki, clearly angered by her daughter's disobedience, immediately darkened her expression. "Saori, it's one thing at other times. But with such important guests present, shouldn't you tone it down a bit?"

"What distinguished guest? He's just a bedbug." Saori didn't care at all.

"Ah, haha." Wuyue laughed awkwardly, feeling that she had been caught in an undeserved disaster.

Hyuga Ibuki's anger intensified, her cheeks flushing red. "You..."

"What, Father, are you upset because I didn't call you a stink bug?" Saori 1.7 tilted her head and said in a cute and innocent way, "Alright then, you old stink bug."

Pfft, you old jerk… Mugetsu really burst out laughing at this moment. She was utterly impressed by Saori. Only words like "Amazing, amazing; so cool, so cool" could express her feelings.

Hyuga Ibuki's face turned green, and his lips twitched violently. At that moment, he felt it was really necessary to demonstrate his fatherly authority.

"You guys seem to be having a lot of fun talking about something interesting?" However, just as he was about to put his plan into action, Hinata Reiko came out from the back room carrying a dish.

203 Panties-kun

How did you even realize someone looked happy?!

Mugetsu really wanted to complain at that moment; his inner吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or sarcastic remarks) spirit was almost bursting out. However, when his gaze fell on Hinata Reiko's smiling eyes, the words he was about to say once again vanished.

Forget it, better to avoid trouble. This isn't me being cowardly, it's just respect for my future mother-in-law. Yes, that's it!

Just as Mugetsu vaguely found a reason for herself, Saori spoke up again: "It's nothing, just daily communication with these three bugs."

"Look at the daughter you've raised!" Hyuga Ibuki sneered, glaring angrily at Hyuga Reiko.

"Is there a problem?" Hinata Reiko placed the food on the low table in front of them, her gaze flashing back.

At that moment, Wuyue saw a glint of sharpness in her eyes. It was chilling.

Hyuga Ibuki also noticed this, and feeling targeted by this sharp edge, his tone immediately softened. "It's very impolite of you to be here for the first time, Muzuki-kun."

This man has such a dignified, square face, it's a shame. With thick eyebrows and big eyes, he should be the kind of upright, uncompromising man, but is he actually so henpecked?

Watching the rapidly changing expressions on Hyuga Ibuki's face, Mugetsu thought to himself. "Well, there's nothing I can do about having a wife like that," he thought. "Those squinty eyes are terrifying!"

Wuyue's heart trembled, but then she heard a middle-aged woman with squinting eyes say, "Now that you mention it, you're right. Saori-chan, even if it's an annoying male, you can't use that term if it's someone you're close to."

You disgusting, repulsive male creature?! So it really was you who taught him that!

Wuyue suddenly felt a little unsettled, and he suddenly remembered the scene when he first met Saori.

Back then, he was truly driven to question his existence by her sharp tongue. Later, as they got to know each other better, he always wanted to know who was behind turning such a good girl into someone so sarcastic. Now that he had met her, he felt helpless against her.

"Then what should I call her?" Saori was clearly the kind of girl who obeyed her mother without question. A typical obedient child, she was completely different when facing her father and brother.

“Well, then you’ll have to think about it yourself.” With a smile, Hinata Reiko replied, “Every form of address carries a different meaning. The path of love is also something you have to develop yourself. Right, darling?” Her gaze turned to Hinata Ibuki.

M

"Yes, that's how it is," Hinata Ibuki answered, forcing a smile. She completely lacked the air of a head of household, instead giving off a weak and unconvincing impression.

“Well, darling… could you come over here for a moment?” Hinata Reiko beckoned with her finger and said softly. “I need to add some seasoning to a dish, could you do me a favor?”

What's with adding seasoning?! I can't even cook!

Hinata Ibuki thought to herself, but dared not utter a single word of dissent. She quickly stood up and said, "Okay, I understand."

"Well, please wait here for a moment. Dinner will be ready soon." After giving this instruction, Hinata Reiko led her husband into the back room.

"What's going on with these two?" Hinata Takuya sensed something was off and frowned, saying, "They seem rather mysterious."

Mugetsu also felt something was off. Especially the meaningful look Hinata Reiko gave him as she left; it made him feel there must be some ulterior motive. He was so panicked! So very panicked!

However, this was his girlfriend's house after all, so he couldn't show it even if he was flustered. He had no choice but to change the subject and face Saori.

Just then, their gazes met. As their eyes locked, a strange, ambiguous atmosphere suddenly spread.

After a moment of silence, Saori suddenly spoke up: "Hey. What should I call you from now on?"

Make your choice, dear host.

First, make her call him "Dad".

Second, make her call him her son.

Third, make her call it panties.

What the hell!

Wu Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but gasp. Damn it, did they have to ruin the atmosphere like this?! Either way, that address was enough to be fatal!

"What's wrong?" Saori blinked and said, "Is this question hard to answer?"

"No, no." Shaking her head, Wuyue said, "I was just thinking... how about you call me Panties from now on?"

Huh? Pfft!

Saori looked utterly astonished, while Takuya immediately spat out a mouthful of salty water. Panties? What the heck is that? Is that supposed to be a term of endearment? I've never heard of that before!

After a long pause, Saori narrowed her eyes. "Are you... sure?"

"Well, probably." Wuyue truly hated this damned option at this moment, gritting her teeth inwardly, but smiling as she said, "Don't misunderstand. Actually, what I mean is... I want to protect you forever, like panties. That's right, that's it."

puff!

Takuya spat out the bowl of tea he had just drunk. "Protecting like panties, right up against you? My god! That's a declaration only a pervert would make!"

"Will you protect me like you protect my panties?" Saori pondered for a moment, then looked up. "Then please take good care of me from now on, Panties-kun."

"Congratulations, host, for completing the selection. You will be rewarded with twenty days of cultivation and two years of dragon growth cycle."

Hearing the notification in her mind, Wuyue was truly in tears. Was this really going to become a nickname between boyfriend and girlfriend? What the hell, "Panty-kun"? Saying it out loud was incredibly embarrassing!

204 The so-called treasures

(Gentlemen's Exchange Kingdom: **)

No, this can't be! I just can't accept panties!

With a slight pang in her heart, Wuyue said in a consultative tone, "Um, can I say that I was just joking? Thinking about it, isn't 'Panty-kun' a bit too strange?"

"No." Saori refused decisively. "Were you lying to me about everything you just said?"

"No! Absolutely not!" Wuyue quickly shook her head, straightening her attitude, and said, "I, I just feel... that if others heard this form of address, it would feel very strange."

“I think it’s a good idea, so it’s decided.” Saori ignored him and said indifferently, “Pantsu-kun, please take care of me from now on.”

Wu Yue took a deep breath, composed herself, and said, "Yes, please take good care of me."

What a load of rubbish! Having such an affectionate nickname is just asking for trouble! This is a classic case of reaping what you sow! But this is clearly something that damn system created! Why the hell am I being blamed?! I refuse to accept this!

Just as Muyue was internally criticizing herself, Hyuga Takuya opposite her burst out laughing, quite unkindly. And the laughter grew louder and louder. "Konoha's Celestial Dragon? Panties-kun? Hahahaha..."

Actually, he originally intended to save face for the other party and didn't want to smile.

But when the moment came, they couldn't resist. They just couldn't help it! Other couples are showing off their love, but these two were just hilarious!

Hearing the other person's booming laughter, Wuyue's carefully cultivated composure was on the verge of collapsing again. But at that moment, Saori spoke first: "What are you laughing at? Does a mere bug have the right to laugh at others?"
