Sasuke Uchiha’s Isekai Domination

Chapter 26: Hinata and Sasuke

After Sasuke killed Mizuki and saved both Naruto and Iruka—

He became Naruto's savior and Iruka's hero.

Iruka stared at Sasuke in shock, surprised at how quickly he had arrived.

After all, the Hokage hadn't even informed any ninja below Chūnin rank about Naruto's escape...

So how did Sasuke find this place?

And more importantly—

Sasuke was incredibly strong, instantly killing Mizuki!

His strike was clean and decisive.

"Sasuke, thanks to you."

Iruka had no doubt about his judgment—allowing Sasuke to graduate early during the Genin exam was completely justified.

"Iruka, Naruto was deceived by that scum Mizuki. Take good care of him."

Sasuke glanced at Naruto and the Scroll of Seals beside him.

Earlier, Sasuke had deliberately touched the scroll.

Yet, the system hadn't triggered a successful check-in. This confirmed that simply touching the Scroll of Seals wouldn't allow him to learn its forbidden techniques.

It wasn't that simple.

Fine, one should know when to be satisfied.

Right now, Sasuke already had the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Jōnin-level chakra, Nine-Tails chakra, Byakugan, and the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu.

That was more than enough!

"I'm leaving."

Without looking back, Sasuke turned and left.

...

Iruka watched Sasuke's retreating figure, lost in thought.

A genius of Sasuke's caliber wasn't unheard of in Konoha's history.

Hatake Kakashi.

Uchiha Itachi.

These legendary ninjas had also become famous at a young age, achieving Jōnin status early in life.

"Naruto..."

"Iruka-sensei."

After Sasuke's words of encouragement, Naruto had calmed down.

Iruka, still shaken by Mizuki's words, had made up his mind—he would take good care of Naruto.

...

Not far away, in the trees.

Sasuke is amazing!

Mizuki, who had easily defeated both Naruto and Iruka, had been instantly slain by Sasuke.

'He's back…'

Yes, Sasuke had returned—for the one he cherished most, Hinata.

How could he bear to leave her behind?

"Hinata, earlier, I…"

Sasuke only said "I'm sorry," but he didn't apologize outright.

Because he didn't think he had done anything wrong!

"Stop talking!"

Hinata was exhausted, her gaze evasive.

When Sasuke had left earlier, her heart had finally begun to settle—but now, it was racing all over again.

Because Sasuke was just too damn handsome!

Especially the way he looked at her—it was even more intense than how he looked at Sakura.

Feelings couldn't be faked.

Sasuke truly liked Hinata…

"I'm tired. Take me home."

If they lingered any longer, the night would pass, and dawn would arrive.

Hinata was also worried that sneaking out in the middle of the night with an Uchiha would be discovered by her father.

"Alright!"

Sasuke had just killed a man, and he, too, needed some peace of mind.

"Hinata, you smell so nice."

Hinata blushed furiously.

"D-Don't say things like that…"

She couldn't handle this side of Sasuke.

If not for the fact that Sasuke had just saved Naruto—proving that he had never lied to her from the start—

Then, for what he did earlier… for stealing her first kiss, she would never forgive him.

Sasuke carefully observed Hinata, trying to gauge his position in her heart.

Of course, Sasuke wasn't the type to overthink things.

Before reincarnating into this world, he had been nothing but a timid otaku.

Always cautious, always worrying about consequences before making any move.

But now, he had traveled into this world.

The Naruto anime was filled with beautiful women—he had to act first and secure his place.

Hesitation was for weak men.

If Hinata showed even the slightest hint of affection for him, Sasuke wouldn't hesitate to make her his.

But!

Hinata's feelings for Sasuke were still too shallow.

Naruto's presence in her heart was too significant.

To push Naruto out—

To make Hinata love only Sasuke from now on—

That wouldn't be easy.

...

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Sasuke carried Hinata, dashing through the night.

In no time, they reached the Hyūga Clan compound.

The Hyūga Clan's security was tight, but that wasn't a problem for Sasuke.

Activating the Byakugan, he scanned the area from a distance.

After confirming the coast was clear, he swiftly brought Hinata back to her room.

"…"

Hinata's feet touched the ground, yet everything still felt surreal.

Sneaking out with Sasuke in the dead of night… Witnessing Naruto being hunted by Mizuki… Sasuke getting jealous, confessing, and kissing her… Then Sasuke instantly killing Mizuki, saving both Naruto and Iruka.

And the way Sasuke had comforted Naruto with such powerful words—

It was truly moving.

No matter what…

Sasuke, aside from being a shameless flirt, was almost perfect.

But it was precisely because of that flirty side that Hinata found him hard to accept.

Sasuke didn't want to leave empty-handed.

Helping Naruto deal with Mizuki? That hadn't been Sasuke's real goal.

His true goal—

Was winning over Hinata.

So before leaving—

"This bastard… he's too much!"

"In just one night, he not only stole my first kiss…"

Hinata had tried to resist.

But Sasuke could tell—she wasn't resisting completely.

Inside, he was thrilled.

Leaning in close, he whispered sweet nothings into her ear.

"Hinata, you're so beautiful… I really like you."

"Sasuke-kun, you're too much!"

"How could you do this to me…?"

But Sasuke didn't apologize.

Instead, he simply said:

"Hinata, get some rest."

"I won't bother you anymore for tonight. But don't worry—from now on, I will always protect you."

"No one can bully you—except me."

There was still plenty of time…

...

Sasuke left.

Hinata, however, was left with a storm of emotions.
