Chapter 55: Chapter 55 - Hinata's Acceptance
*Knock*Knock*
"Who is here so early in the morning?" Sasuke said as he yawned and put on his shirt. He had no idea who took his shirt off while he was sleeping.
"Naruto? Sage Mode?" Sasuke said as he opened the door and saw Naruto standing proudly in front of his house. His appearance was different; he had yellow irides and toad-like pupils, with orange pigmentation around his eyes.
"I mastered The Sage Mode, Sasuke," Naruto said proudly. He just successfully mastered the Sage Mode and rushed back to show off to Sasuke.
At the start, he had a little trouble sensing the natural energy but after waking up one day. He suddenly felt refreshed and had an easier time controlling natural energy.
'Did he enter the Sage Mode early because I extracted Kurama?' Sasuke thought as he remembered that it took Naruto a whole week to master Sage Mode in the original series.
'I think Kurama was hindering Naruto's progress, and since I took Kurama from him, he easily mastered the Sage Mode,' Sasuke thought as he came outside and closed the door of his house.
"Congratulations...I guess?" Sasuke said as he knew what Naruto was going to say next.
"Sasuke, let's fight again," Naruto said confidently. He felt like he could defeat Sasuke now since Sage Mode had made him much stronger than he ever thought to be.
Sasuke was going to reject Naruto but a devious plan emerged in his mind. A plan that will make Hinata fall for him.
"I don't mind fighting you, but I have a condition," Sasuke said with a smirk.
"A condition?" Naruto wondered as he didn't understand what Sasuke meant by that.
.....
"You want me to wear sunglasses?" Naruto asked as he received a pair of sunglasses from him. He wondered why Sasuke wanted to give it to him.
"Wearing sunglasses makes you look cool. Women like this sort of stuff," Sasuke said as he whispered in Naruto's ear.
"If you say so," Naruto said as he wore the glasses, after which he got trapped in Sasuke's Rinnegan's Genjutsu.
"Good, now listen to me like a good boy," Sasuke said as Naruto's eyes turned purple like Sasuke's Rinnegan.
Sasuke's Rinnegan's Genjutsu was arguably the strongest genjutsu. It could do anything once you have fallen under it. Hypnosis, Body Control, Brainwashing, etc. It can even easily trap The Tailed Beasts.
Compared to what was said in the show, Sasuke's Rinnegan can basically do everything for some reason. It was much more potent in Genjutsu than his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
Despite having one of the strongest Genjutsu, Sasuke rarely uses it on people since he doesn't like to brainwash people unless it's absolutely necessary for his goals.
As for why he gave Naruto glasses? It was simply to hide the fact that he was being controlled by Sasuke. The only downside of the Rinnegan Genjutsu is that you can see if a person is being controlled or not if you look at their eyes. If they are being controlled, their eyes show the pattern of the Rinnegan.
He could have used his Sharingan's Genjutsu but there is a slight chance that people get their memories of being controlled back after they are normal. Sasuke had experienced something like this with Suigetsu before, so he didn't want to take any risks.
"Let's go," Sasuke said as he took Naruto to a remote place and teleported to Hinata's room. He could go there since he had already marked Hinata's body.
"Aaahhhhh" Hinata shouted as she got interrupted while taking a bath.
"Sorry, Naruto just came back and wanted to meet you, so I came here to pick you up," Sasuke said as he pulled out some clothes from his inventory and gave it to Hinata.
"Oh, it's you...Sasuke-san." Hinata said as she had a sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you, Hinata," Sasuke said as he apologized.
"That's fine. I also wanted to talk with you" Hinata said as she started to wear her clothes.
"We can discuss it later," Sasuke said as he grabbed the fully clothed Hinata and teleported back to Naruto.
"Naruto-kun?!??" Hinata said with a blush as she went back to being a shy person. She is always like that in front of Naruto.
"Hinata, I have heard about you from Sasuke," Naruto, who was being controlled by Sasuke, said to Hinata.
"Really? Did Sasuke-san tell....you about my.... feelings?" Hinata said as she looked away in embarrassment. She wondered why Naruto was wearing sunglasses when it wasn't even that sunny, but she didn't give it much thought.
"Yes, he did.....I'm sorry Hinata... but I don't have any feelings for you. I like someone else" Naruto said as he apologized politely.
Hinata, on the other hand, felt like her whole world crumbled. She couldn't stand on her feet and almost fell down if not for Sasuke grabbing her at the right time.
"Naruto.....kun.....Is that...*sobs*...true?" Hinata said as she started crying.
"Unfortunately, yes, I respect you, but I don't want to be with you. I hope you can forget about me" Naruto said as he turned around and walked off.
Those words of Naruto were like the final nail in the coffin. The moment he said those words, Hinata's heart broke into a million pieces.
*Sobs*Sobs*
Sasuke grabbed Hinata's cheeks and kissed her on her forehead. After that, he grabbed her head and pulled her into a hug.
"Don't cry, please," Sasuke said as he consoled Hinata.
"He is stupid to have rejected a beautiful girl like you. If I was in his place, I would have already made you my wife". Sasuke said as he looked at Hinata's eyes and wiped off her tears.
"What should I do? Please tell me Sasuke-san?" Hinata said as she looked at Sasuke with a teary face.
"I'm not a smart person, Hinata, but sometimes you just have to accept what this cruel world throws at you. Sometimes, you have to let go of your feelings" Sasuke said as he started using his bullshit Talk No Jutsu.
"Rejection makes you strong. I want you to become the strongest Hyuuga Clan member. So what if Naruto rejected you? There are many men who would chase after you, so be strong." Sasuke said in a polite manner which eased her heart and turned her normal.
