Chapter 131: Madara, The Dance King
Although Makoto, Naruto, and Sasuke had confidently declared they would eat and hang out until dawn, their stomachs gave up. After a few hours, they were too full to continue and let Torifu finish off the remaining food.
With satisfied stomachs, they strolled out of the restaurant, Naruto's belly especially bloated from overeating.
On the way back, Naruto insisted that Sasuke and Makoto stay over at his place instead of heading home.
Naruto was excited. He tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Ever since he could remember, he had always slept alone. Now, with two friends beside him, he felt an overwhelming sense of happiness and security.
"Hey, idiot, stop shaking the bed," Sasuke muttered in an irritated tone.
Naruto had been rolling around like a restless caterpillar for over an hour.
Hearing Sasuke's complaint, Naruto immediately froze and lay still, forcing himself to behave.
Eventually, he drifted off to sleep, his body unconsciously leaning toward Sasuke.
Makoto had been watching with an amused smile, but the moment he saw Naruto inching closer to Sasuke, his expression turned into a wry smile.
After all, those two were practically like a couple.
Wasn't it a little awkward for him to be the third wheel here?

[Senju Tobirama: These kids have such a close bond.]
[Uchiha Izuna: Yeah, it kind of reminds me of my brother and Hashirama.]
The two exchanged glances, smiled, and clinked their glasses together before taking a drink.
Across the room, Madara had kicked off an entirely different kind of gathering.
[Uchiha Madara: Hashirama! Let's drink and party all night!]
With that said, Madara dramatically ripped off his shirt and jumped onto the table.
[Uchiha Madara: Now, let's dance, shall we?!]
The room fell silent for a second as everyone processed what they were seeing.
A massive tattoo of Hashirama's face was plastered across Madara's chest.
The moment Hashirama saw it, his eyes gleamed with excitement.
[Senju Hashirama: Madara! This is a battle that will last till dawn!]
Without hesitation, he yanked off his own shirt and charged into the party.
Might Duy was never one to miss out on a celebration and soon joined in.
Dressed in his signature tight green jumpsuit, he grabbed a drink and performed an energetic, youthful dance.
On the other side, Mito was observing them while dining with Kushina and Minato. She scoffed as she caught sight of Hashirama getting carried away.
"Hmph! That two-timing fool," she muttered.
"Hahaha..." Minato, unable to help himself, let out a laugh, only to immediately stop when Mito's sharp gaze snapped toward him.
"And what exactly are you laughing at, Minato?" Kushina huffed, turning toward him with her arms crossed. "Like you're any better!"
Then, as if flipping a switch, she turned to Mito with a warm smile and sweetly served her food.
Watching this blatant double standard, Minato could only sigh and eat in silence.
[Might Duy: My YOUTH is burning today! I must challenge Lord First and Master Madara to a duel of spirit!]
[Uchiha Madara: Oh? Duy, you want to dance too?! Then let me, the King of Dance, show you how it's done!]
Watching the whole scene, Makoto pondered whether he should add some background music to really set the mood.

Early the next morning, Makoto woke up with a yawn and stretched his arms. But as soon as he turned his head, his eyes widened in shock.
Naruto was practically glued to Sasuke, pressing his entire body against him in his sleep.
[Senju Tobirama: Hm... this position doesn't look very dignified.]
[Uchiha Izuna: Looks like little Naruto is a dominant one.]
[Hyuga Hizashi: Are you implying Sasuke is a... ?]
[Uchiha Izuna: Cough! I just misspoke. Don't read too much into it, alright?!]
[Namikaze Minato: ....]
[Uzumaki Kushina: .....]
[Uchiha Fugaku: .....]
[Uchiha Mikoto: .....]
[Senju Hashirama: Why do these two always remind me of Madara and me?]
[Uchiha Madara: SHUT UP, YOU IDIOT! We were NEVER this close!]
[Senju Hashirama: Should I cuddle you to sleep tonight and see how it feels?]
[Uzumaki Mito: YOU FUCKING MORON! Do you think I don't exist?! DO YOU WANT TO DIE?!]
[Uchiha Madara: Get away from me, you lunatic! Don't make me sick!]
Meanwhile, in the real world, Sasuke slowly awakened from his sleep. But something felt off.
Why was it so hard to breathe?
It felt like a massive weight was crushing him.
Groggy, he cracked open his eyes, only to be met with Naruto's face, barely two inches away.
More importantly, Naruto's mouth was slightly open, a drop of shimmering saliva dangling dangerously close to Sasuke's lips.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Sasuke jumped out of bed, his face twisted in horror.
"YOU IDIOT! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?! YOU PERVERT! GET AWAY FROM ME!!!"
His scream startled Naruto awake. The blond sat up groggily, rubbing his eyes in confusion.
"Ah... what happened?" he mumbled. "Man, what a shame. I was having such a nice dream about becoming Hokage and getting married...."
Sasuke, who had already jumped to the other side of the room, froze in horror after hearing his words.
"YOU ARE NOT JUST AN IDIOT, YOU'RE GAY!"
Naruto just blinked at him, completely lost. "Sasuke, what are you even saying?"
That was when Sasuke realized... Naruto had been dead asleep the whole time. He hadn't actually tried to kiss him.
Still, the shock had been so intense that, for a split second, Sasuke almost awakened his Three Tomoe Sharingan on the spot.
Honestly, a tiny part of him regretted that Naruto hadn't actually kissed him. Because if that had triggered his Sharingan, at least he would've gotten something useful out of this nightmare.
After that, the three of them washed up and each ate a cup of noodles for breakfast.
None of them had the energy to stomach anything else this early.
Naruto and Sasuke then headed off to meet Kakashi, while Makoto made his way toward the Hokage's office.
