Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

On the Eve of Chapter 418

"Wha...what?! We've officially started a war with the [Ember] organization?!"

In the strange, dark space at night, several gigantic fingers stood tall. Above them floated nine chakra phantoms of varying colors and hazy shapes.

This was the Akatsuki's core meeting. The decision announced by Pain just now instantly sparked a reaction.

"Wait a minute? Isn't this a bit too hasty?" Hozuki Suigetsu's voice was clearly flustered. "I'm still overseas gathering intelligence, I can't come back right away!"

"Suiyue, there's no need to panic." Pain's cold, flat voice rang out, "Just do your best to get back, but you cannot be absent from this battle."

"After this matter is over, we will no longer need to conceal our target... At that time, Kirigakure will also be officially included in the plan."

The phantom of Hozuki Suigetsu stopped swaying, though still uneasy, it silently accepted the order.

"【Jin】, huh…" A rather youthful voice rang out, and a phantom with the physique of a teenager took over the conversation, "I understand. Perfect timing, that organization is also one of the targets that must be eliminated in my plan."

The phantom's silhouette appeared somewhat sharp, and its tone carried a murderous intent beyond its years.

"But I have one condition—that member of the [Jin] organization who is rumored to possess the Mangekyou Sharingan must be handed over to me to deal with."

"At the same time, if there is a chance to personally kill the traitor Orochimaru... it must be me."

"Yes, no problem." Payne agreed to the condition without hesitation. As far as he was concerned, as long as the goal of "God" could be achieved, the personal grudges of the members could be used as motivation as long as they did not affect the overall situation.

"I don't care." Another deep voice rang out, the silhouette of the phantom vaguely revealing the shape of a giant blade behind it. "The reasons for starting the war are just a mission anyway. But... is there a survivor of the Uchiha clan in that organization? Hopefully, there aren't any other Konoha guys mixed in..."

His tone revealed clear fear and disgust. "That feature... I really don't want to see it a second time."

"The taijutsu ninjas of Konoha..."

A slightly hoarse voice beside him echoed with lingering fear, "It's indeed an experience I don't want to recall... I have no objection to starting a war. But I need to settle someone in Amegakure beforehand." The phantom turned towards Pain, "The leader will protect him, right?"

Payne's phantom nodded slightly in agreement.

"The [Ember] Organization?! I can't wait—!" A high-pitched voice, tinged with neurotic excitement, interrupted, "I really want to...offer them all to the Evil God!"

The frantic voice echoed in the dark space, but did not elicit much response; the crowd seemed to have long been accustomed to it.

Finally, Payne's gaze fell upon the last phantom in the arena, the only one who had not yet made a clear statement.

"Shennong, what's your opinion?"

The phantom known as "Shennong" remained silent for a moment, then let out a low and strange laugh.

"Hehehe... Of course I'll come. There's no reason to avoid this battle, either for personal or professional reasons."

His voice gradually deepened, carrying a kind of deep-seated obsession.

"However, Lord Pain... after this, you will keep your promise and help me destroy Konoha, right?"

The phantom of Pain's Devastation gave an uncompromising response.

"That's natural."

Naruto...likes...

The sound, carrying a scalding breath, spilled from his lips intermittently, echoing repeatedly in the dim and quiet room. Each syllable struck the damp air, stirring up even deeper ripples.

The calm, tough, and seemingly in control demeanor that Menma displayed when facing Pain in the tower of Amegakure has completely vanished.

Shedding his mask and black robe, he returns to this private space that belongs only to the two of them. He is simply her "Naruto." He trembles at her touch, feels ashamed at her demands, and opens himself up without resistance, letting her lead him, rising and falling in the waves.

Satsuki lowered her head and affectionately rubbed her nose against Naruto's neck, which was also flushed and sweaty.

"Naruto is a good boy..."

She gently kissed his earlobe, whispering a praise.

"It's already... halfway done."

"You can rest for a little while."

Despite saying she was resting, she showed no intention of leaving. Instead, she clung to him even closer, their skin touching, feeling his equally rapid heartbeat and burning body temperature.

....

It still took until midnight.

When everything finally calmed down and became tender, Naruto held Satsuki in his arms, his fingertips unconsciously combing her hair; but a little worry quietly rose in his heart—if things continued like this without any restraint, would Boruto, who belonged to him and Satsuki, arrive early?

The thought made his ears burn slightly, yet it also brought a sweet mix of anticipation and nervousness.

After a simple shower, the two, as they always did every night, entwined themselves in each other's most comfortable position.

Satsuki habitually buried her face in the crook of his neck, while Naruto gently wrapped his arm around her waist, trying to calm his thoughts.

The reassuring atmosphere is like a warm blanket, gently enveloping your tired body and mind.

however--

"Naruto...is something on your mind?"

Satsuki, who should have been asleep in his arms, suddenly made a sound.

"...Huh?"

Naruto was genuinely surprised. He was indeed a little nervous about the upcoming plan to eliminate Obito, but only "a little".

With Naruto's current strength, even if Obito possesses a troublesome space-time jutsu like Kamui, he would still be nothing more than a difficult-to-catch insect in Naruto's eyes—this analogy may be too arrogant, but it is an indisputable fact.

So, how did Satsuki find out?

Intuition. And a keen, uniquely her own "perception"—the tighter yet unfocused embrace, the passionate kisses that seemed tinged with a moment of distraction, and that brief, unconscious lapse in attention during their intimacy...

These subtle "abnormalities," almost imperceptible to others, stirred ripples in her heart. He seemed a little weaker than usual... not physically, but in the intensity of his focused concentration. Satsuki instinctively deduced—he had something on his mind.

Naruto was about to speak when those reflexive words of comfort—"It's okay, Satsuki, don't worry," "You're just a little tired"—were already on the tip of his tongue.

But the next second, he stopped.

What am I doing? Am I subconsciously hiding something again?

Why do I still have this habitual tendency to overprotect Satsuki, out of a desire not to worry her?

This is so wrong. They had shared their deepest secrets and given each other their everything. He had promised to hold nothing back from her.

Naruto took a deep breath, completely crushing those perfunctory thoughts. He tightened his arms, holding her even closer, and gently rubbed his chin against the top of her head.

"...I found it." His voice was unusually earnest in the quiet night.

"The masked man who orchestrated the Nine-Tails' rampage and nearly destroyed the Uchiha clan... this might be the organization's hideout."

"One day from now, I will bring [Jin]...and officially begin the war against them."

Satsuki shifted slightly in his arms but didn't speak immediately. She didn't excitedly ask to go with him like a typical avenger, even though the masked man was the culprit who nearly destroyed her clan and took Naruto's parents.

She simply waited quietly, leaving the choice entirely to him.

"I'll listen to Naruto," she said softly, her voice filled with no hesitation or probing, only complete trust and obedience.

"If Naruto doesn't want me to go... I'll stay home and wait for Naruto to come back."

Extreme love overwhelmed extreme hatred. For this love, she could suppress her boiling murderous intent and temporarily set aside her deep-seated hatred, simply because he might need her to "stay."

Naruto's heart felt like it had been struck hard by something soft yet burning hot.

"...No." He loosened his embrace, propped himself up, and looked intently into her eyes, which reflected the moonlight, in the dim light.

"Let's have Satsuki come along too."

"And... Satsuki can officially join my organization too."

"Huh? Really?!"

Satsuki's eyes lit up instantly, as if stars had fallen into them. She sat up as well, the thin blanket slipped off, and the moonlight shone unobstructed on her flawless skin, outlining her undulating curves—a scene of beauty and desire that made Naruto gasp and stare in stunned silence.

"Yes, of course." He composed himself and nodded in confirmation. "However, Satsuki, be careful not to reveal your identity. No one in the organization... still doesn't know 'Menma's' true identity."

"I understand!" Zuo Yue nodded immediately, a bright smile of undisguised joy spreading across her face. Being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him in the same "world," fighting under the same identity—this gave her a strong sense of connection.

Seeing her excited expression, Naruto's heart stirred slightly.

If Satsuki is going to participate in this battle... then it's time.

As his thoughts raced, two energy entities, visible only to him, silently appeared behind him: one as dazzling as a diamond, the other as radiant as gold.

"Satsuki," Naruto called softly, his tone gentle yet earnest, "close your eyes, okay?"

"Huh?...Oh." Satsuki was taken aback by his sudden request, her cheeks flushing slightly, but without the slightest hesitation, she immediately and obediently closed her eyes.

Naruto took the item from the storage scroll that his substitute had retrieved from behind him: a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan eyes sealed in a special solution. They belonged to Uchiha Mikoto and contained the power of the "Mother," and were the key to Sasuke's eyes evolving into the [Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan].

"It might hurt a little... but it will be over soon, just bear with it."

Upon hearing "it might hurt a little," Satsuki's body trembled almost imperceptibly, and the blush on her cheeks seemed to deepen.

She gave a soft "hmm," her voice delicate and trembling with a mixture of patience and anticipation.

Completely unaware that Satsuki might have misunderstood something, Naruto took a deep breath, focused all his attention, and gently and precisely placed his fingertips against the corner of her eye.
