Natsumi and Sasaki

Just as Patrick was about to make his exit, a commotion at the entrance of the gathering caught everyone's attention. Natsumi, accompanied by Sasaki, had arrived, and the crowd parted to let them through. Patrick eyes lit up with a warm smile as he excused himself from Naruto and Hinata, making his way towards the newcomers.

"Natsumi, Sasaki! It's great to see you both," Patrick said, his voice dripping with sincerity. Natsumi's eyes sparkled as she smiled, and Sasaki soft expression softened ever so slightly.

As Patrick approached Natsumi and Sasuke, Naruto's eyes narrowed, his expression darkening. He couldn't understand why everyone seemed to be so taken with Haruto's charm. Didn't they see that something was off about him? Natsumi, in particular, was beaming at Haruto, her eyes sparkling with amusement as he chatted with her.

Sasaki, too, seemed to be relaxing in Haruto's presence, her shy expression softening ever so slightly. Haruto was laughing and joking with them, his smile warm and genuine. Or so it seemed.

Naruto's instincts were screaming at him that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
