Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 549 Superfluous Emotions

This person is...

Finally, Naruto remembered. That face, that face that felt strangely familiar, he finally remembered where he had seen it before.

"This is... the Fourth Hokage?!"

Naruto exclaimed in surprise. He finally noticed that the face was almost identical to the fourth face on the Hokage Rock.

The face of the legendary hero, carved at the highest point of Konoha, now lay quietly before him.

Seeing this, Zuo Yue couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.

The child had no idea that the man lying in front of him, and the red-haired woman next to him, were his long-deceased parents.

He still thought he was just a fox spirit hated by the villagers, and that he had always been alone.

"What...what did you do...?"

Sasuke's voice was muffled, because this scene was too distant, too unattainable, too much like a dream he could wake up from at any moment.

What if... I'm just mistaken...?

"Yes, I have resurrected your parents."

Naruto's voice rang out calmly, "And the Fourth Hokage and his wife."

"This isn't difficult for me. Satsuki can do it too."

Sasuke was stunned.

The power to overturn life and death, and that unfathomable strength... is it possible for a ninja to achieve this?

He looked at Naruto's smiling face and those calm, clear blue eyes, and it was... like a god.

"Although this is indeed a power that ninjas shouldn't possess."

Naruto spoke up, understanding what Sasuke was thinking. "But I'm just lucky, not some kind of god."

Sasuke was silent for a moment, then he asked in a low voice, "Then why... haven't they woken up...?"

The emotions in his heart had begun to surge. Things that had been suppressed for too long, things that he thought he would never have the chance to touch again, were now churning and clamoring in his chest.

But Sasuke knew that the moment he would truly burst into tears would be the moment his mother woke up.

Not now.

"I can wake up today."

Naruto replied, "Because the soul has been in a dormant state in the Pure Land, it will take a little while."

"Oh...I see..."

Sasuke nodded, raised his hand, and pressed it to his chest. There, his heart was pounding violently, so fast it felt like it was about to burst out of his chest.

Satsuki shifted her gaze from young Sasuke to young Naruto beside her.

She noticed something.

Naruto's expression, after the initial surprise, began to become complex. First, he was shocked by the power to resurrect the dead; then he felt genuine joy at Sasuke's parents' return; and then—

A look of disappointment flashed across his face uncontrollably.

Satsuki, of course, knew where that sense of loss came from.

Little Naruto had no idea that the Fourth Hokage lying in front of him, and the red-haired woman, were his parents.

For him, the identity of "Son of Hokage" was far inferior to the identity of "Demon Fox".

One is a star in the sky, and the other is mud in the ground. How could he possibly think in that direction?

Satsuki looked at Naruto, but Naruto didn't offer any explanation.

Satsuki understood. Was this meant for the Fourth Hokage to explain himself after he woke up?

Naruto's disappointment came and went quickly. After realizing that those complicated matters had finally come to an end, he quickly turned his attention elsewhere.

His gaze involuntarily fell on Zuo Yue.

Then, her face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"that……"

He spoke, his voice stammering and tense, completely unlike his usual carefree self.

"Satsuki-neechan... right?"

He scratched his head, trying to appear normal, but his bright red ears betrayed him completely. "Um... how long are you going to stay here?"

Zuo Yue looked at him like this, a faint smile flashing in her eyes.

"Well, I'm not sure yet."

She answered patiently, her voice much gentler than usual. "We'll leave once this is all over."

"Well... how about we go check out Konoha Village in this world?"

Naruto's eyes lit up, and he quickly pressed for more information, afraid of missing this opportunity. "I'll treat you to ramen! Ichiraku Ramen is really delicious!"

"Sure."

Satsuki nodded. "If everyone is free."

Naruto was stunned; he hadn't expected Satsuki to agree so readily.

Generally speaking, his invitations are mostly rejected by everyone except for Iruka-sensei, who will accept them with a smile.

But Satsuki agreed, and she was so gentle.

Naruto couldn't help but giggle, his smile so bright it was almost excessive and impossible to hide.

Sasuke stood to the side, looking at Naruto who had suddenly changed into this state, and frowned slightly.

To be honest, this looked very familiar to him.

...I remember now—it seems to be the way Ino and Sakura looked at me.

Sasuke suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Then... Sister Zuoyue."

Naruto was completely oblivious to Sasuke's change in expression. He continued speaking, his voice filled with caution.

"Will you come again in the future?"

"Oh, right! I'm going to be Hokage someday! If you guys come again... could we... go out together...?"

"No, that won't work."

A voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Naruto's words.

It's Naruto.

He finally noticed that something was wrong with Naruto and quickly tried to stop him.

"Huh? Why?"

Naruto turned his head and asked somewhat dejectedly.

He didn't understand why he was rejected when he simply invited Zuoyue to go out together.

Naruto looked at him, a hint of uncertainty flashing in his eyes. "You... kid..." He paused, considering how to ask.

"Love at first sight?"

"Wh ...

Naruto's reaction was so strong that it startled Sasuke, who was standing next to him. Sasuke's already red face turned even redder, almost as if it were about to bleed, and he was so flustered that he couldn't even finish his sentence.

That's right, although it's embarrassing to admit, Naruto did fall in love at first sight.

At the time, he was attracted to Sakura mainly because Sakura's appearance matched his aesthetic preferences.

He couldn't quite explain the feeling himself, but he just thought it looked good, he liked looking at it, and he wanted to get closer.

Now, that feeling is many times stronger than it was back then.

That level of compatibility, that kind of impact, was dozens of times greater than what Sakura had given him back then.

He even began to fear rejection, fear saying the wrong thing, and fear that pestering her would annoy her—these were emotions he had never felt before when facing Sakura.

"……Um!"

Naruto took a deep breath and finally admitted it.

"You could say that... but there's no rule against it..."

"Huh? Really...?"

Satsuki looked at him with some surprise. Is Naruto from another world so easy to pursue?

She couldn't help but smile. Although she found it cute, she still had to refuse this little Naruto.

"I'm sorry... Naruto?"

Satsuki spoke, her tone gentle, "Yes, you're Naruto too. I'm sorry, but I can't continue this discussion."

"Huh? Why?"

Naruto looked up, his face full of confusion and disappointment.

He didn't understand what he had done wrong, or why he had been rejected.

Then, Satsuki's answer froze him and Sasuke in place.

"Because I'm already married," Satsuki said with a happy smile.

"I'm your husband," Naruto immediately replied, stepping forward and taking Satsuki's hand.
