Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 5 SASUKE

In the end, almost the entire half-box of scrambled eggs with tomatoes ended up in the little girl's stomach. Naruto watched with a smile as Yue ate her food, taking small bites. She ate very attentively, and would even squint her eyes slightly when she tasted a delicious part, like a satisfied cat.

Naruto is completely powerless against this kind of unconscious cuteness.

As the last bite of food was finished, Yue stared at the empty lunchbox and suddenly realized what she had done.

Oh no, we clearly agreed it was just for a taste...

After carefully putting the empty lunchbox into his backpack, Naruto heard a faint sound behind him.

"that……"

With her head bowed, Yue said in a soft, sweet voice, "Sorry... I think I ate too much. If you're still hungry... would you like to come to my house for dinner?"

Naruto was slightly taken aback, then his brows relaxed, showing that he wasn't the stubborn, arrogant type.

There's a saying that "arrogance ruins a life," but the truly terrible situations often arise because one has been arrogant for too long, to the point that there's no longer even a chance to be "pretty."

The little girl in front of me, with the innate pride of the Uchiha clan, is also frank in expressing her apologies and is even willing to invite others to her home for dinner as compensation.

It seems she received a very good family education.

A sudden, indescribable sense of regret welled up in Naruto's heart. In the original Naruto manga... there was never an Uchiha girl named "Tsuki".

The answer is self-evident.

About three years later, after Naruto enters the Ninja Academy, a tragedy that will shock the entire ninja world will occur: the Uchiha clan will be wiped out.

If we delve into the root causes of this tragedy, the forces involved are complex and intertwined, but there are three main culprits.

Danzo Shimura, Itachi Uchiha, Obito Uchiha.

However, the Uchiha clan's demise was not a matter of a single day. It was like a series of carefully arranged dominoes, and the moment the first domino fell...

It was on the night Naruto was born.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's Rebellion.

Obito Uchiha attacked Konoha and released the Nine-Tails, resulting in the death of Naruto's mother, Kushina Uzumaki. His father, Minato Namikaze, fulfilled his duty as Hokage to prevent Konoha's "nuclear weapon" from being leaked, sealing half of the Nine-Tails inside the newborn Naruto… But the focus of the Uchiha clan massacre is not here.

What truly led the Uchiha clan to their demise was the enormous Sharingan in the Nine-Tails' eyes.

All the Konoha ninja who participated in the battle that night saw it clearly, and the higher-ups' suspicion that the Uchiha had planned the attack was not without reason.

But... they really didn't wrong the Uchiha.

No one expected that the Uchiha who controlled the Nine-Tails would be Obito Uchiha, who had been "dead" for many years.

To keep an eye on the Uchiha clan, the Konoha leadership relocated them to the outskirts of the village and placed them under close surveillance. The proud Uchiha clan members could not tolerate this humiliating treatment.

Driven by a lust for power, the Uchiha clan gradually fractured. At clan meetings, the voices of the hawks grew louder, advocating for a military takeover of Konoha to change the clan's fate.

At this moment, a traitor appeared.

Itachi Uchiha, the eldest son of clan leader Fugaku, was also a spy planted by Konoha within the Uchiha clan. He leaked information about the clan's planned coup to the Konoha leadership.

Upon learning of this, the Third Hokage and Danzo disagreed. The Third Hokage advocated for peace talks, hoping to resolve the conflict through communication, while Danzo insisted on eradicating the threat and completely eliminating the Uchiha clan.

After that, Danzo began his operation.

He feared Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan, specifically the "Kotoamatsukami," which could alter one's will. In a clandestine attack, Danzo stole one of Shisui's eyes.

Having lost one of his Mangekyou Sharingan, Shisui realized he could no longer stop the coup with Kotoamatsukami. In despair, he entrusted his remaining eye to Itachi and then chose to jump off a cliff to his death, simply to weaken the Uchiha clan's power.

After losing his close friend Shisui, Itachi Uchiha—a man who was always caught between the village and his clan—surprisingly accepted Danzo's proposal.

The person who indirectly caused Shisui's death has now become his collaborator.

The extermination operation has begun.

No one, regardless of age, gender, or even infants, escaped. Blood stained the Uchiha clan's territory, and only young Sasuke survived.

Why... was Itachi completely ignoring the Third Hokage's advocacy for peace talks?

The logic of the entire incident cannot be scrutinized too closely. Itachi claimed to be "protecting Konoha" while simultaneously slaughtering his entire clan. He also claimed to "deeply love his younger brother" while using Tsukuyomi to inflict endless suffering on Sasuke.

This awkward behavior is probably why Itachi Uchiha's reputation has reversed online.

Kishimoto attempted to portray Itachi as a "guardian bearing darkness," using "necessary evil" to glorify the massacre. But Naruto only felt a chill.

Does having lofty goals justify using any means without any moral bottom line?

Even assuming the Uchiha clan did launch a coup, could their fate be any worse? Would the entire clan be wiped out? Would even infants be spared?

Naruto shook his head, unwilling to think about it any further. He couldn't understand Itachi's thinking, couldn't understand the so-called "Hokage mindset." Right now, he no longer dreamed of becoming Hokage.

Naruto looked at the black-haired little girl in front of him. Would this child also die that night?

The thought of Yue possibly being slaughtered for the so-called "greater good" made Naruto feel uneasy.

No... I have to think of something to do.

The system shows no signs of starting up yet, and for now, I can only rely on myself. Perhaps... I could go and gossip with the three generations of old men?

For example, they might claim that they have formed an "irreplaceable bond" with her, and that if something happens to her, they might become despondent or even give up being a ninja...

Although it sounds like a threat to the Hokage.

Naruto knew this concern might be a bit excessive, but he couldn't help it; that's just who he was. He couldn't stand idly by and watch the tragedy unfold before him.

Of course, it's just kindness, not saintly compassion. That bastard Obito... I won't let him get away with it.

"Thank you, Yue. But it's alright, I'm already very satisfied. Actually, what makes me happier is having someone willing to eat with me, rather than the food itself."

Naruto accepted Tsuki's invitation. "Besides, seeing you enjoy your meal so much is the best compliment I can receive. You're the first person to praise my cooking skills."

Hmm... why are you blushing again? Oh well, you look so cute when you're shy. But it's getting late, I should go back and rest.

"Thank you for keeping me company today." He stood up, brushing the bits of grass off his pants. "I'll come find you again, Uchiha Tsuki."

Upon hearing this, Yue immediately raised her head and corrected him in a somewhat proud tone.

"If you really insist on playing with me, I... I'll reluctantly keep you company!" She paused, then added, "Also, my name isn't Uchiha Tsuki, it's Uchiha Sasuke."

...Sasuki?

Naruto's smile suddenly froze.

That name... why does it sound so familiar? It sounds a bit like the name of my future best friend and nemesis. Uchiha Sasuke.

Satsuki keenly noticed Naruto's strange expression, and after hesitating for a moment, she still spoke up to explain.

Hmm... isn't this name combination a bit strange? Actually, Dad originally planned to name me Uchiha Sasuke... but he didn't expect it to be a girl, so he changed 'Suke' to 'Moon'...
