Chapter 607 Naruto, you can't be together, she's your own sister!
Uchiha Mitsunori stared at the handwriting on the report, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
He looked at Haruno Meibuki, his voice tinged with guilt: "I will arrange for someone to verify Haruno Sakura's bloodline again as soon as possible. If she is indeed my child, I will let her return to the royal family, recognize her ancestors, and make up for the years I have wronged her."
"As for you, feel free to make any requests, and I will try my best to fulfill them."
Haruno Mebuki gently shook her head, a tender smile on her face: "The youthful recklessness of the past is gone. Now my husband Haruno Chō and I are very happy, and I want to stay by his side."
"I don't want any compensation. My only request is that Your Majesty treats Sakura well, so that she can be safe and happy and not have to live with a secret like I did."
Seeing her resolute expression, Uchiha Mitsunori nodded slightly: "Since that's the case, I won't force you. I will give you some money as compensation for what I owe you."
Haruno Mebuki no longer declined and bowed again: "Thank you, sir. The matter has been explained. I will go home now and not disturb you in your official duties."
After saying that, she turned and left, her figure gradually disappearing at the end of the palace corridor.
The secret she had kept hidden in her heart for over a decade was finally revealed, and her expression became much more relaxed.
After Haruno Bud was blown away, Uchiha Mitsunori immediately sensed Naruto's location.
He could clearly see Naruto transform into Sasuke.
He held a bunch of blooming cherry blossoms in his hands and walked step by step toward the nearby Haruno Sakura.
Sakura Haruno stood under the cherry blossom tree, wearing a light pink dress, looking up at the cherry blossoms falling from the sky, with a faint smile on her face.
"Sakura".
Naruto imitated Sasuke's tone, trying his best to make his voice sound cool and deep, but he couldn't hide the tension and joy in his eyes.
He watched Sakura Haruno's retreating figure, his heart pounding, his palms sweating with nervousness.
Sakura Haruno turned around abruptly and her eyes lit up when she saw "Sasuke" in front of her.
She had liked Sasuke for so long, but she never imagined that Sasuke would take the initiative to contact her and even send her flowers.
"Sasuke, why...did you ask me to come here?"
Sakura Haruno's face showed a girl's shyness.
She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look Sasuke in the eye, her cheeks flushed slightly.
Naruto took a deep breath and mustered his courage.
"Sakura, I like you. It's not just friendly liking; I want to always be by your side, protect you, and cherish you. Be my girlfriend!"
After he finished speaking, his heart pounded, and he was so nervous that he dared not look Sakura Haruno in the eye, for fear of being rejected by her.
Sakura Haruno was filled with joy and shyness as she looked at "Sasuke" in front of her, her eyes brimming with happiness and admiration.
She had liked Sasuke for so long, and finally, she received his confession.
She slowly raised her head, looked at "Sasuke" in front of her, and nodded gently.
"Sasuke, I've liked you for a long time too. I've liked you ever since I first saw you."
Seeing Sakura Haruno's shy and moved expression, all of Naruto's tension vanished, and he couldn't help but step forward and gently hug her.
He wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and leaned down to kiss her.
Sakura Haruno did not refuse. She tilted her head slightly, closed her eyes, and cooperated with a shy expression.
A gust of wind blew, and cherry blossoms fluttered down, landing on their shoulders and in their hair.
The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of cherry blossoms, as well as the excitement and joy of youth.
Just as their lips were about to touch, a cold and urgent voice suddenly shattered the tenderness and tranquility.
"Naruto, you two can't be together!"
The voice was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the joy and excitement in their hearts.
Naruto was so frightened that his whole body stiffened, his arm instantly loosened, and his body trembled slightly. Before he could react, a figure appeared in front of the two of them in an instant.
His eyes were filled with urgency and helplessness. He grabbed their arms and, before they could ask any questions, activated his time-space ninjutsu, causing them to disappear instantly.
In less than a second, the three appeared in the main hall of the royal palace.
"Naruto, Sakura Haruno is also my daughter. She's your older sister, so you two can't be together!"
These words struck them like a thunderbolt, instantly shattering all their joy and excitement.
Sakura Haruno suddenly opened her eyes, her shyness and joy vanishing instantly, replaced by disbelief.
She carefully examined the "Sasuke" in front of her, noticing his panicked eyes and his slightly trembling body, and finally realized what was happening.
The person in front of me is not Sasuke at all, but Naruto in disguise using the Transformation Jutsu!
Her heart was instantly filled with anger.
"Damn it! That bastard Naruto!"
Sakura Haruno was both angry and anxious; her joy instantly turned into rage.
She suddenly punched Naruto hard. Caught off guard, Naruto was knocked back several steps and fell heavily to the ground, instantly deactivating his transformation jutsu.
Naruto reverted to his original form, his red hair plastered messily to his forehead, his face filled with panic, and a hint of grievance on his lips.
"You actually impersonated Sasuke to fool me!"
Sakura Haruno's voice was filled with anger, a mixture of anger at being deceived and a deep sense of loss and sadness. Tears welled up in her eyes instantly.
"You know I like Sasuke, you know how long I've waited for his confession, and you lie to me like this, Naruto, you've gone too far! What do you take my feelings for?"
She cried and yelled at him, the grievances and anger in her heart surging like a tide, almost causing her to collapse.
Naruto had no mind to pay attention to Sakura's questioning, nor did he care to wipe the dust off his face or rub his aching stomach. He suddenly got up from the ground and looked at his father suspiciously.
"Father, you said... Sakura Haruno is my older sister, how can this be? You're lying, aren't you? How could she... be my older sister? I love her, I want to be with her, I want to marry her, you must be lying to me..."
His voice grew louder and more choked with sobs, as the despair in his heart overwhelmed him like a tidal wave, making it hard for him to breathe.
Sakura Haruno also snapped back to her senses, the words of Mitsumine echoing repeatedly in her mind, like a curse that she couldn't shake off.
If she is Naruto's older sister, then she is also Sasuke's older sister... The person she has been in love with for so long, the person she thought she could spend her life with, the person she has waited for for so long, is actually her own younger brother!
This realization was like a sharp knife, piercing her heart and causing her unbearable pain.
The immense blow instantly overwhelmed her; her heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, the pain making it hard to breathe, her breathing became rapid, her body trembled slightly, and she almost couldn't stand up.
The joy and excitement hidden deep in my heart instantly turned into a deep-seated despair and pain.
Tears streamed down her face like broken beads, dripping onto her clothes and leaving a small, damp patch. The extreme grief and emotional trauma caused her eyes to suddenly turn crimson. Her two-tomoe Sharingan slowly emerged, swirling in her eyes with a faint red glow—a glow filled with despair and pain.
That was the unique symbol of the Uchiha clan, the proof of her bloodline, and the inseparable bond between her and the Uchiha clan. But now, that bond had become a shackle that pushed her into despair, an unspeakable regret, and the deepest pain in her heart.
She looked at her hands, at the Sharingan beneath her eyes, and her tears flowed even more fiercely—she never imagined that she was actually a member of the Uchiha clan, that she was Sasuke's older sister.
Looking into Sakura Haruno's eyes at the Sharingan, a trace of regret and self-blame flashed in his eyes, and a sharp pain shot through his heart. But he still spoke firmly, his tone heavy and helpless: "Sakura Haruno's mother, Mebuki Haruno, used to be my bodyguard. After she became pregnant with you, she resigned from her post, married Haruno Chizuru, and raised you alone."
I only found out today that you are my daughter. Naruto, Sakura Haruno, you are siblings, connected by blood, sharing the same blood. It's destiny that you can't be together; it's fate, an unchangeable fact.
These words shattered all of Naruto's expectations and crushed him completely. He stood there, frozen, his body ice-cold, the pain in his stomach nothing compared to the agony in his heart.
The despair of seeing the person you love suddenly turn out to be your older sister, the pain of having your joy shattered in an instant, the helplessness of having all your expectations vanish like a bubble—all these overwhelmed him like a tidal wave, making it hard for him to breathe, almost driving him to the brink of collapse. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out; only suppressed sobs escaped his throat.
The next second, his eyes turned crimson, and his three-tomoe Sharingan suddenly activated. His eyes were filled with pain, confusion, and a trace of unwillingness. Chakra fluctuated violently around him, carrying a full sense of despair and sorrow, stirring up the dust on the ground. The tables and chairs in the hall were shaken slightly by this chakra.
He looked at Sakura Haruno, at her broken state, at the despair in her eyes, and the pain in his heart deepened even more—he never imagined that the person he loved was actually his own older sister.
The hall was deathly silent, without a sound, except for Naruto's suppressed sobs, Sakura Haruno's broken cries, and the heavy, helpless sighs of Uchiha Mitsuru, which echoed in the empty hall for a long time.
The dark clouds outside the window grew thicker and thicker. A cool breeze blew into the hall, stirring up the dust on the ground. The sunlight was blocked by the dark clouds and could no longer shine into the hall. Inside the hall, only coldness and despair remained.
The excitement and joy of their youth were ultimately trapped by the shackles of blood ties, becoming an unspeakable regret that lingered in their hearts, impossible to shake off.
