Chapter 216 Smooth Talker!

By helping her to take revenge, Kisame gained the favor of Aizawa Nana.

After being cheated, Hidan managed to win over Hana.

With the advantage of money, Kakuzu held a beauty pageant and selected what he felt to be the most beautiful woman.

Itachi was discovered when he followed a girl, but because the Sharingan can break Genjutsu, Itachi gained the guilt and trust of Yukihime.

The four subordinates, each with their own flaws, have found the most beautiful woman they think with various ways.

On the contrary, as the initiator of the game, what is Naruto's progress at the moment?

…

Back on Naruto's side of the bustling night market.

Initially, Naruto's passive skill, Aura of Menace, scared away most girls. However, after recognizing the problem, he replaced it with the passive skill Lady Charmer.

With his transformed appearance resembling a handsome protagonist from a romance drama and the added effects of Lady Charmer boosting his appeal, Naruto's progress was remarkably smooth.

Everywhere he went, girls would stop in their tracks to admire him.

Seeing so many girls swooning like startled deer, Naruto returned their admiration with polite smiles, causing some overly smitten ones to faint on the spot.

Witnessing such dramatic reactions greatly boosted Naruto's confidence and gave him an immense sense of accomplishment.

At this moment, he felt like a celebrity surrounded by adoring fans. Rather than finding it uncomfortable, he was thoroughly enjoying the attention.

Before he knew it, Naruto even started signing autographs, and time quickly slipped by.

Seeing that the game was about to end, Naruto reluctantly restrained himself and left in one direction.

While signing, he discreetly observed each girl's appearance and used his Observation Haki to scan his surroundings, ultimately locking onto his chosen target: a woman he dubbed 'Purple Maiden'.

Why Purple Maiden?

The reason is simple… everything about her was purple.

Her hair, eyes, lips, kimono, and even her nails were all shades of purple.

The combination of light and dark purples blended seamlessly, complementing her fair, glowing skin.

Her unique aura and enchanting charm were mesmerizing.

In Naruto's eyes, if she existed in his previous life, she would undoubtedly have been a goddess of fantasy for countless men.

The only regret was that Purple Maiden hadn't approached him for an autograph. If she had, he would've invited her on the spot.

In a flash, Naruto appeared before her.

Purple Maiden furrowed her brows slightly and asked: "Sir, what do you want from me?"

Caught off guard by the question, Naruto recalled a cheesy pickup line from his previous life, "It's nothing serious, but... there's something on your face."

"Something on my face? What is it?"

Women are always concerned about their appearance. Being told there was something on her face in public made Purple Maiden slightly flustered.

Naruto chuckled and said, "Something beautiful!"

…

That was an old, corny line, but considering that people in this world didn't have access to the internet, Naruto felt that it was perfect for the occasion.

Naruto decided to deploy his arsenal of cheesy pickup lines as a form of 'cheesy attack strategy'.

"Smooth talker!"

Hearing this, Naruto felt slightly disheartened. He hadn't expected his cheesy pickup line to fail.

'Logically speaking, such lines, when novel and not yet overused, should've been quite effective. Why had it fallen flat?'

Before he could dwell on it, Naruto glanced up to see Purple Maiden lowering her head slightly, her cheeks tinged with a faint blush. Her body language was bashful and a bit hesitant.

'Ah, so this is a woman's nature?'

'She says no, but her body says yes.'

Realizing his corny line had worked, Naruto pressed his advantage, "Let's play a game. The rules are simple: once the game starts, whoever moves first loses. Deal?"

"Alright."

Purple Maiden replied with a faint nod.

This game also attracted a lot of passers-by, many of whom were girls.

They all understood that the game itself was straightforward and likely boring to play, but the idea of watching an attractive guy freeze like a statue was captivating enough to draw them in.

"Alright then, three, two, one—game start!"

"Hah, I lost!" Naruto declared immediately after starting the game.

Purple Maiden was puzzled and asked, "But you didn't move. Were you trying to lose on purpose?"

Naruto shook his head and said, "Not at all. I really wanted to win, but unfortunately, I couldn't stop myself from being moved… by you!"

"Moved?"

Purple Maiden blinked. A hint of realization dawning on her, and her cheeks turned rosy as the words sank in.

The female onlookers erupted into squeals of excitement, feeling as though they'd just been force-fed a truckload of sugary romance. They were utterly captivated by Naruto's ability to charm.

As the crowd around them grew more excited and chaotic, Naruto extended his hand. "We should get out of here before they do something crazy."

Purple Maiden, seeing the growing frenzy, didn't hesitate. She reached out and placed her hand in his.

Naruto gripped her hand firmly and refused to let go. He had succeeded. She was now part of his plan, and he wasn't going to let the opportunity slip away.

To be honest, Purple Maiden was incredibly beautiful, but Naruto knew this was all under the guise of his transformed appearance. Beneath it all, he was still a kid.

So this relationship is destined to be fruitless.

Naruto had no intention of taking things further. His goal was simple, he just wanted to win the game.

With Purple Maiden in tow, he is sure of his victory.

That was… until he returned to Rose Street...

"What… What's going on here?"

Naruto stood stunned at the sight before him.

'Goodness gracious, each of these criminals had brought along a breathtakingly beautiful woman. And every single one of them was a top-tier beauty, each exuding an aura of perfection.'

Naruto was dumbfounded, 'How on earth did these guys manage to attract women like this?'

"Alright, spill it." Naruto demanded, pointing a finger at them, "Did any of you use force? Or maybe clones and Transformation Technique to cheat?"

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Naruto was even more incredulous, "That's impossible! There's no way you guys could pull this off. Kisame, you go first. Explain everything, and don't even think about lying, or there will be consequences!"

"Yes!"

Kisame responded crisply.

However, before Kisame could even begin, the blue-haired girl standing next to him stepped forward, placing herself between Naruto and Kisame.

"Don't you dare bully Danna-sama!"

The blue-haired girl said angrily.

"Nana, you..."

Kisame wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the blue-haired girl, "Don't be afraid, Danna-sama. If anyone want to bully you, they have to step over my dead body first!"

The blue-haired girl declared with determination, spreading her arms wide to shield him. She resembled a fiercely protective mother hen.

"Huh? Danna-sama?"

Naruto and the others were taken aback. Naruto, especially, wore a bemused smirk, "Alright then. If you won't let Kisame explain, why don't you tell us what happened?"

The blue-haired girl said, "My name is Aizawa Nana. I lost my parents when I was young, and my only brother was murdered yesterday by a vile man. It was Danna-sama who captured the culprit and gave me the chance to personally avenge my brother. His kindness and bravery have earned my eternal gratitude, and I am willing to dedicate my life to repaying him."

"Wow, tsk tsk tsk!"

Naruto couldn't hide his amazement, clicking his tongue in disbelief.

He had never imagined that Kisame, of all people, would stumble into a situation that only happened in a romance novel.
