Naruto: Copy System

Chapter 972: [972] : Wrap up

I was ready to kill the man in front of me. I had never encountered someone so utterly repulsive.

Lucy, at this point, had completely broken down. She sobbed.

"No, that’s not it... that can’t be it... You must be scared, right?"

"You’re just scared and nervous. I know it."

"But you can’t say those things about me. I... I can’t believe you’re this kind of person."

Jack, sensing he had been completely exposed, sneered.

"Since it’s all out in the open, I have nothing left to hide."

"You bitch! Do you have any idea how long I’ve had to put up with your father for you? What do you think I’ve been doing all these years?"

"I’ll make it clear for you now—you’re just a dog I raised. And now, I’m sending you to die for me."

"What are you crying about? My lord, kill her quickly! It was all her! This Lucy has nothing to do with me!"

That vile expression—it disgusted me. But there was nothing I could do.

Slowly, I turned to Lucy. "Call me ’big brother,’ and I’ll get rid of him for you."

At that moment, Lucy, who had been sobbing, froze. She looked at me, stunned, unsure of what to say.

"You see his true colors now, don’t you? Let me tell you—you’re so cute that even if you deceived me, it wouldn’t matter. Besides, you didn’t know anything, did you?"

"That’s why it turned out like this. I’m not an unreasonable person. I can tell which one of you is the problem."

"So, I’ll just deal with the one who’s the problem. Simple enough."

Lucy wiped her eyes, blinking as she spoke slowly. "Why are you doing this? What’s your motive? Is it because of my elven body?"

I flashed her a wicked smile.

"Everything I do is of my own free will. I’m a fairly easygoing person. You probably don’t know that."

"I do what I want. Now, let me take care of this little problem."

Without another word, I phased out of sight. Jack, sensing his doom, tried to bolt. But it was too late. I reappeared, my blade flashing as I cut him down. Then—Amaterasu. Black flames erupted, consuming him completely.

In the end, nothing was left.

I looked at Lucy and said, "It’s done. What are your plans now?"

Lucy just stared at me, speechless.

"You... you’re really not going to kill me?"

"Why would I kill you? You’re so cute, it’s a pleasure just looking at you."

At that, Lucy’s cheeks flushed, and she looked at me, her thoughts a mystery.

She had never met a boy like me before. All the boys she knew tried to flatter her. She couldn’t say she disliked it, nor could she say she liked it. The one she had been closest to was Jack.

But Jack had only been using her. Had she misunderstood her father?

She looked at me.

"How did you know all this? And... why did you help me? You keep saying I’m cute."

I chuckled. Kids were so easy to please. I had just killed the man she liked, and now she was blushing and talking to me. Her feelings were obvious.

I said, "What do you think of me? And what are your plans now? You don’t have to ask."

"I’m a pretty casual person. So, you should think about what you want to do first."

"Since your father wants to drag you back, are you going back or what?"

Lucy couldn’t think that far ahead. Right now, only one thing was on her mind.

I kept calling her cute.

Did I really like her? But would I abandon her? And why did I seem more and more appealing the longer she looked at me?

Her face turned red.

"You... do you really like me?"

I was baffled for a moment, then looked at her and smiled.

"Hahaha, you’re really something. Yeah, I like you a lot."

At that, Lucy’s face turned so red she couldn’t even look at me.

I noticed her strange behavior immediately. "Hey, don’t get the wrong idea... That’s not what I meant."

"You know I have a little sister, right? I see you as a little sister."

"So if you call me ’big brother,’ then I’ll accept you as my little sister."

Then I gave her a bright smile. Lucy stomped her foot in frustration, then broke into a happy laugh.

"Thank you. I feel much better now. Since I misunderstood my father, I’ll go back and have a good talk with him. If he really wants me to get married..."

"Then there’s nothing I can do."

She stole a glance at me. Since I had my Sharingan active, I was very sensitive to such things.

"I know. But I can’t help you with that. But as your big brother, I’ll talk to your father."

"If he doesn’t agree, then I’ll just have to beat him up a bit."

Lucy giggled. What did I mean, beat her father up? That was too funny.

"Hahaha, then from now on, I’ll call you Shin-nii. I’m so happy. I didn’t expect to run away, have that scoundrel die, and gain a big brother."

"Then it’s time for us to leave."

"What kind of magic did you use just now? You burned that man to a crisp."

"Just how strong are you, Shin-nii?"

I ruffled Lucy’s hair and said, "Your big brother... I’m the strongest person in this world. Do you believe me?"

"You’re bragging. I know that reviving someone and burning a body to ashes isn’t something an ordinary person can do."

"But to say you’re the strongest in the world? I don’t believe you."

I was speechless. I was telling the truth, but no one believed me.

But for now, saying such a thing was indeed bragging. I had already discovered that without the support of this world’s magic, many of my abilities were unusable.
