Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 185 A Heartfelt Connection

Dangerous, aggressive, yet with a sweet allure.

Naruto once again glimpsed the deepest part of the Uchiha clan's hearts—a clan known as the "Clan of Love"—revealing an extreme and intense possessiveness and obsession capable of utterly devouring a person.

At this moment, this dangerous side was laid bare before his eyes.

Faced with Satsuki's almost threatening and yandere-esque final declaration, Naruto showed no fear or hesitation. On the contrary, his azure eyes blazed with an even more intense light.

"Yes! I promise you!" Naruto answered loudly without hesitation. "In fact, I should be thanking my lucky stars that you agreed to wait for me! As for that 'price' you mentioned..."

He suppressed his overly cheerful smile, his expression becoming extremely serious as he solemnly declared, word by word.

"That's not a price at all! That's the best 'reward' that I, Naruto Uzumaki, will receive on that day in the future!"

His voice was full of absolute confidence and anticipation.

"It's a deal then! When that day comes—" Naruto stepped forward, gripped Satsuki's hand tightly, and made his own vow.

"On that day, I will be fully prepared, body and soul, to accept everything from you! All your requests, everything you 'whatever'! I promise, there will be absolutely no disobedience or hesitation! Because for me, that will be the moment I have been dreaming of and longing for!"

There's no need for suspicion, no need for testing, and certainly no need for any roundabout or unnecessary actions. The relationship between Naruto and Sasuke should be like this—pure, direct, and full of trust.

Simply express your truest feelings to the other person. No matter how excessive or dangerous the request may seem, as long as you use the most sincere language as a bridge, you can clearly communicate your true feelings and achieve the deepest understanding between you.

The atmosphere eased again, and an indescribable understanding and intimacy flowed between the two.

Satsuki lowered her head slightly and asked the last question, which was also a confirmation of the current situation, in a soft voice: "...So...what is our relationship now?" She needed a new and clear definition to settle her turbulent emotions at this moment.

Naruto looked at her shy yet expectant expression and answered with a smile.

"We're friends, aren't we?"

Seeing Satsuki's instantly pouting lips and displeased look, he quickly added, "—But! You're the only, special, temporary friend! You're a one-of-a-kind companion on the path to that 'ultimate reward'!"

This definition made Satsuki raise her chin slightly in satisfaction.

"So what's next... Are you leaving now?" After a moment of silence, Zuo Yue turned back to look at the deserted Uchiha clan compound and asked softly with some reluctance.

Naruto didn't answer directly, but instead asked her, leaving the decision to her: "What does Satsuki think?"

Satsuki mustered her courage, raised her rosy cheeks, and looked towards the direction of her home deep in the clan's territory, her voice filled with firm expectation.

"Want to come to my house? I want to... tell Dad and Mom... about our promise..."

Looking at the girl before him, who had shed all her heavy burdens and whose eyes were once again sparkling with bright light, Naruto felt a surge of tender warmth in his heart. He nodded firmly and squeezed her hand.

"Okay!" he replied with a smile. "Alright! Let's go together!"
