Sasuke Uchiha’s Isekai Domination

Chapter 24: Hinata Starts Paying Attention to Sasuke

The moonlight in Konoha Village was bright, and Hinata felt incredibly conflicted.

She couldn't understand how Sasuke, who once seemed so distant, now felt so close and intrusive.

She wanted to kick him out, yet she was genuinely worried about Naruto's safety.

"Are you ready yet?" Sasuke asked.

"I'm ready!" Hinata replied, trying to calm herself.

However, when Sasuke immediately approached her and, without hesitation, wrapped an arm around her, it was as if both their heartbeats became audible.

"W-What are you doing?"

Hinata panicked instantly.

Sasuke, with a serious expression, explained, "Don't overthink it. With your skills, it's nearly impossible to leave the Hyuga Clan undetected."

"You'll have to rely on me!"

Hinata's feelings were indescribable.

She regretted it.

She shouldn't have cooperated with this shameless Sasuke, not even for Naruto's sake.

Now, pushing him away wasn't an option.

Even though Sasuke pretended to be serious, who knew what he was really thinking inside?

"Are you ready?" he asked again.

Unlike Sakura and Ino, Hinata required a more gradual approach. Rushing things would only ruin everything.

"Let's go!" Sasuke announced.

Activating his Byakugan, Sasuke observed the Hyuga Clan's defenses and, with his incredible strength, carried Hinata and left the Hyuga compound unnoticed.

Few ninjas in the entire world could pull off such a feat.

...

Hinata couldn't believe what had just happened.

"We just… left? Just like that?"

"Sasuke, how did you manage that?"

When Sasuke used the Byakugan, he also combined it with the Sharingan, disguising his actions with genjutsu.

He had no intention of revealing his full capabilities just yet.

Exposing his trump cards prematurely wasn't a wise move.

Even Hinata didn't know that Sasuke, a Uchiha, had also mastered the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan.

If this secret were to reach the higher-ups of Konoha or other villages, it would undoubtedly lead to trouble.

And trouble would only delay Sasuke's plans to build his harem in this anime world.

...

Fighting and killing weren't nearly as enjoyable as courting women.

"Sasuke—"

"Ahem!" Sasuke cleared his throat and said, "Sorry, I got distracted. I almost mistook you for Sakura or Ino."

"Sasuke, please be respectful."

"You're right," Sasuke replied quickly. "Let's hurry up and find Naruto."

That was close—he had nearly ruined everything. If this caused Hinata to dislike him, Sasuke would be forced to use his Sharingan genjutsu to win her over.

But resorting to such measures felt beneath him.

He wanted Hinata to genuinely fall in love with him.

...

Hinata's heart was racing. That was far too close!

Her innocence as a girl had almost been compromised.

If it weren't for the late hour and the fact that they were already outside, Hinata wouldn't have stayed with Sasuke any longer.

...

Using the Byakugan, Sasuke scanned the surroundings of Konoha Village.

If the original storyline remained unchanged, Mizuki would be lurking outside the village, waiting for Naruto to bring out the Scroll of Seals.

Persistence pays off!

Just as Hinata was about to give up, feeling that Sasuke's intentions toward her were impure and that staying alone with him for too long was dangerous, Sasuke suddenly exclaimed, "Hinata, look! I've found it."

Hinata looked at Sasuke with skepticism.

Noticing her mistrust, Sasuke said earnestly, "I know—I accidentally treated you like Sakura and Ino earlier and nearly overstepped my bounds. That's why you're wary of me now."

"I promise I won't touch you without your consent."

"I'll walk ahead, and you can follow me."

"Just make sure not to make any noise!"

Hinata hesitated but ultimately decided to follow. Since she was already here, she might as well see things through.

If Sasuke deceived her tonight, she would never trust him again.

...

Sasuke moved ahead, with Hinata trailing cautiously behind.

Eventually, they spotted Iruka.

"Iruka-sensei?" Hinata gasped in surprise.

"Shh!" Sasuke gestured for her to be quiet.

"We just need to follow Iruka, and we'll find Naruto!"

"Really?"

Hinata's trust in Sasuke was still very low.

"Trust me!" Sasuke gave her a determined look. "Stick close."

Sasuke leapt high into a tree, positioning himself at a vantage point to observe everything below.

"That's so high…"

Hinata hesitated but gritted her teeth and tried to follow.

Just as she was about to fall, Sasuke caught her and pulled her into his arms.

Sasuke held a finger to his lips, signaling her to be quiet once more.

"Sorry, Hinata. I didn't mean to take advantage of you."

"But your skills are lacking. If I hadn't caught you, you would've fallen."

"And we're tailing a chunin, Iruka. Without me, you'd definitely be discovered."

Hinata's face turned bright red. She could feel Sasuke's breath as he spoke.

For the first time, she realized that boys could smell so fresh and clean.

Not only was Sasuke handsome, but even his scent was pleasant.

This feeling was strange.

Although she liked Naruto, she couldn't deny that Sasuke was undeniably outstanding.

'No wonder Sakura and Ino like him so much!'

'They're even willing to share him…'

Hinata resigned herself to the situation.

"Fine, fine. I won't say anything."

Hinata was adorably flustered.

In the original story, she could hardly talk to Naruto without fainting from excitement.

Yet, here in Sasuke's arms, she managed to stay composed—aside from the blushing and rapid heartbeat, of course.

...

Iruka seemed frantic, searching for something across the village.

Sasuke, still holding the cute and flustered Hinata, quietly followed.

Seeing Sasuke's impressive abilities, even a chunin like Iruka failed to notice him, Hinata whispered, "What is Iruka-sensei looking for?"

Sasuke leaned close to her ear and replied, "If I'm not mistaken, he's looking for Naruto."

This wasn't a good sign!
