Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 343 Counterattack

Those words sounded like self-deprecation, but Sasuke instantly understood their underlying meaning. His mind raced, analyzing the hidden message in Naruto's words.

The Uchiha clan is known as the "Clan of Love" precisely because the core of their power is entirely built upon emotion, with feelings always trumping reason. More importantly, once an Uchiha member has set their sights on someone, the emotions they pour into that person can reach a terrifying level.

"..."

Sasuke sighed inwardly. It seemed that the "self" in this world had already identified Naruto as the most important person. If she found out that what belonged to her had been taken by someone else, it might really lead to unpredictable consequences.

Sasuke was all too familiar with this feeling—wasn't it for similar reasons that he made the extreme decision to destroy Konoha?

...During his deep contemplation, Sasuke suddenly realized a very embarrassing discovery: the "self" in this world had chosen Naruto, but what about himself? Aside from the difference in gender, what was his relationship with Naruto...?

Sasuke shook his head violently, trying to shake off these unnecessary thoughts. It seemed that Naruto meant that since the other "self" liked Naruto, if she knew that Boruto was Naruto's child with another woman, something terrible might really happen.

So, how exactly should we explain all of this?

For some reason, after accepting the situation, or perhaps because he was truly out of options, the intense shame he had felt earlier actually dissipated. Even as he devised a solution, a slight smile unconsciously crept onto Sasuke's lips, a smile that even revealed a rare hint of cheerfulness.

"Boruto," Sasuke turned to Boruto, "I'm about to explain something, so please don't interrupt me."

"Huh? I understand." Boruto was a little confused, but he nodded obediently. This was the first time he had heard Sasuke make such a request. Although he didn't understand the reason, he believed that Mr. Sasuke must have his reasons for doing so.

"Naruto, why were you saying that kind of thing to this guy?" On the other side, Satsuki was asking Naruto, clearly puzzled by their conversation.

"Nothing much," Naruto scratched his cheek, "I just wanted to show off. Sasuke activated the three-tomoe Sharingan right away, that's really impressive."

"...I don't want to talk about that anymore," Zuo Yue's eyes darkened, "You know what the price will be, right? If you really died that day..."

Her tone carried a chillingly dangerous undertone, and Naruto quickly tried to smooth things over. "Sorry! It was my fault! I promise I won't do it again!" He then pointed towards Sasuke, "Um… let him explain first. After he finishes, you'll understand why I bragged to him."

Satsuki refocused her gaze on Sasuke, the very question she had been pursuing from the beginning, and now she awaited the long-awaited explanation.

"...Do you like dinosaurs?"

"What?" Zuo Yue was taken aback by this sudden and unrelated question, and had no idea what it meant.

"Back in your childhood," Sasuke continued in a steady voice, "if we're talking about the types of toys you liked, you probably liked dinosaur toys the most."

"You...how do you know this..." Zuo Yue's voice lowered unconsciously. Although she didn't understand why this had to be brought up now, a chill crept up her spine. This subtle, almost forgotten childhood preference was something even her parents might not know.

"In your free time, do you observe various birds? Like... eagles?" Sasuke paused for a moment, noticing Satsuki's pupils suddenly contract. "Looks like I was right. Because I do too."

"This is something only 'we' would know."

"You..." Satsuki involuntarily took a half step back, shocked and flustered—the other person had clearly hit the nail on the head. Naruto, standing to the side, was also engrossed in listening. So Satsuki had these little-known hobbies? He secretly noted these details down.

To convince Sasuke of the even more bizarre truths to come, Sasuke first revealed some private matters known only to "himself." Seeing Sasuke's increasingly dazed expression as he listened, Sasuke knew the time was ripe. He began to explain in detail that he was "her" from another parallel universe, why he had traveled here, what their purpose was, and who the mysterious person who had suddenly attacked Naruto that day was.

After a lengthy explanation, Sasuke finally showed Satsuki his powerful Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. When Satsuki truly felt that eye power that originated from the same source as hers but far surpassed it, although she still found it unbelievable, the mountain of evidence forced her to accept this absurd reality.

"Naruto...is what he said true?" Satsuki turned to Naruto, her voice trembling as if she were making a final, desperate plea for confirmation.

"Hmm..." Naruto nodded slightly, "It's incredible, isn't it? But... it really is true."

To discover she was male in another world? This realization left Satsuki momentarily speechless, a complex and indescribable emotion welling up within her. But what bothered her even more was—someone was willing to travel through time to harm Naruto?!

Sasuke, seeing the chilling killing intent in Sasuke's eyes, naturally understood what she was thinking. "Regarding Urashiki's attack," he spoke up promptly, "you don't need to worry. I'll be here to protect Naruto."

"However, compared to my future self, you are still too weak now. In the next battle, don't get involved." Noticing the fleeting disappointment in Sasuke's eyes, Sasuke added, "But you don't need to be too hasty. Because I am you—in your future, you will possess the same power as me."

"...Wait a minute." Satsuki felt a pang of disappointment at first, but then she remembered that there were other questions waiting to be answered, such as whether she had succeeded in her revenge, and whether she had killed Uchiha Itachi.

But a more pressing thought suddenly struck her—what if "I" were a man…what would Naruto do?!

Wait a minute… this person… could it be!

Satsuki abruptly turned her gaze to Boruto, who had been standing quietly to the side. Coincidences she hadn't noticed before began to overlap wildly in her mind: similar feelings, similar appearances, and someone closely following her "future self"! This person…could it be!

Naruto unconsciously swallowed, feeling his throat go dry and his heart pounding faster. He nervously prayed in his heart, "Sasuke must have understood my hint, right?"

"That's right," Sasuke's calm voice broke the tense silence, "just as you thought. Boruto is Naruto's son in the future."

"What?!"

Satsuki and Naruto exclaimed almost simultaneously. Satsuki was shocked that his terrifying guess had come true, while Naruto was astonished that Sasuke had directly revealed the truth!

"Naruto's son..." Satsuki murmured, repeating the word, slowly shifting her gaze back to Sasuke's face, awaiting his explanation. But her eyes had changed—the light in them had completely vanished, replaced by a bottomless stillness, a chilling calmness.

Sasuke silently apologized to his family in another world, resolving to make it up to them when he returned. But for now, it was a last resort—lying was an essential skill for ninjas on infiltration missions.

"...In my world," Sasuke continued weaving his lies without changing his expression, his voice calm and without a ripple.

"Naruto Uzumaki is a woman, and her name has been changed accordingly; she is now called Naruko Uzumaki. If you'd like to see more, I can describe her appearance in detail."

Sasuke turned to Naruto, "After the description, Naruto can use the Transformation Jutsu to become the 'Naruko' of that world."
