Sasuke's eyes widened slightly, utterly bewildered.
What the hell just happened?
"What?!"
"You're not moved at all?!"
"Do you even have a conscience?!"
"This is downright despicable!"
"You're nothing but villains!"
"Arrest them! Arrest them all!"
"Lock them up for eighteen hundred years!"
"Are you moved or not?! Moved or not?!"
"Execute them! Execute them!"
"I'll stomp them to death with my stinky feet!"
The surrounding Sakuras exploded in rage, every single one of them seething with fury. Even the driver Sakura—who had just been blasted by the water gun—had flames blazing in her eyes. Literally.
And then, the last one who had threatened to stomp them with her stinky feet actually yanked off her own leg and started hopping toward them!
That action was like a spark igniting a powder keg.
All the Sakuras charged at Sasuke and Sakura!
"Holy crap!"
"This is beyond insane!"
"Run!"
Having personally witnessed the driver Sakura lift a twenty-story building, Sakura and Sasuke didn't dare stick around. They bolted without hesitation.
"Don't let them escape!"
"Catch them!"
The police Sakura immediately took command, directing all the Sakuras to surround and capture the two.
At the same time, she pressed the walkie-talkie on her chest, her expression solemn as she spoke:
"Requesting backup! Requesting backup!"
"Two ruthless, cold-blooded super criminals have appeared on Delusion Road, 233rd Street!"
"Requesting military intervention!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the voice on the other end of the walkie-talkie responded, clearly shocked.
"What?!"
"How utterly despicable!"
"Hold on tight!"
"Armed helicopters are on their way!"
"Hang in there, comrades!"
Upon hearing the response, the police Sakura's expression turned heroic, tears even welling up in her eyes.
"Understood!"
"We won't let these heinous criminals escape!"
Meanwhile, Sakura and Sasuke were frantically fleeing through the city, relentlessly pursued by an endless wave of Sakuras!
"Arrest them! Arrest them!"
"Execute them! Execute them!"
"Don't let them get away!"
"Stomp them with my feet—Ah!"
The hopping Foot Sakura was immediately trampled by the horde of charging Sakuras behind her.
"Ahhh!"
"They stomped Foot Sakura to death! How heartless!"
"Avenge Foot Sakura!"
The countless Sakuras were now absolutely furious, their rage literally setting the city on fire.
What the hell?! Since when does anger cause actual flames?!
And wasn't Foot Sakura trampled to death by you guys?!
Sakura and Sasuke ran for their lives, feeling as if the entire city had turned against them. Sakuras of all kinds popped up from every corner, hurling chairs, tables—anything they could get their hands on—straight at them!
Some, unable to find anything to throw, even picked up other Sakuras and chucked them!
Holy crap!
Sakura barely dodged a flying object (a Sakura), her scalp tingling.
To catch them, Sakuras were even jumping off buildings!
Sakura even saw them forming an orderly line to jump!
And the most ridiculous part? Someone was actually organizing it!
"First jumping squad, failed!"
"Second squad, go!"
"Third squad, prepare!"
"Fourth squad, standby!"
!!!
Sasuke, looking at the endless army of Sakuras behind them, was utterly speechless.
This is insane!
This mental world… it's so fitting for Sakura, isn't it?!
Just as Sasuke was lost in thought, the police Sakura lifted a small car and hurled it straight at them!
The car whistled through the air, knocking over countless Sakuras before barreling toward them.
"Go for it!"
"Sacrifice the self for the greater good!"
"I'll dye the heavens with my blood!"
"Fish, I desire; bear's paw, I also desire! When both cannot be obtained, I'll forsake the fish for the bear's paw!"
"Life, I desire; righteousness, I also desire! When both cannot be obtained, I'll forsake life for righteousness!"
"You jerk! You delivered your sacrifice speech so well—what am I supposed to say now?!"
The countless Sakuras who had been knocked flying by the car delivered their dramatic final words. When the Sakura who quoted Mencius: Gaozi I finished her speech, the entire world seemed to freeze.
Time itself had stopped.
Everyone, including Sasuke and Sakura, was immobilized.
Then the world went dark, and a single spotlight shone on her, accompanied by a dramatic, heroic soundtrack.
Once she finished her lines, time resumed.
"Holy crap!"
"They even have spatial lockdown?!"
"Just to give her a dramatic highlight?!"
Sakura quickly realized it wasn't actually time stopping—it was space freezing. Their thoughts had remained active the entire time.
"S-Sakura! Let's go!"
Compared to Sakura's stamina, Sasuke was clearly struggling under the relentless, city-wide assault. He was quickly overwhelmed by the horde of Sakuras, swallowed by a sea of pink!
"Hahaha! Got one!"
"I'm gonna kick his butt hard!"
Foot Sakura, who had been trampled earlier and was still covered in footprints, sniffled as her Q-version, ghost-like soul was sucked back into her body like snot.
She instantly revived—good as new!
"Damn it! So you can't even die?!"
Sakura was completely fed up.
All she wanted now was to get the hell out of here!
She'd come back for revenge once she mastered her Yang Release techniques!
Buzz buzz buzz!
At that moment, several helicopters arrived swiftly at the scene. Each one carried four or five military Sakuras, their doors open to reveal mounted Gatling guns!
"You vile, cold-blooded criminals!"
"I now represent justice to punish you!"
"Die!"
