Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 93 The Script of Resistance

Is he the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

Itachi Uchiha's gaze was fixed on the blond-haired boy. But why... tonight of all times? Why was he in the Uchiha clan's territory, and with Sasuke?

An ominous thought flashed through Itachi's mind: Could it be that the radical hawks within the clan had already begun their actions? Was their target indeed the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? Were they trying to control the Tailed Beast to achieve their goal of a coup?

And this power... is it a sealing technique?

"Naruto..."

Zuo Yue slumped to the ground, staring blankly at the dazzling golden chains in the sky. What...what is this power? When...?

"Satsuki! Don't look at her! Run! Go to the village and call the ninjas! It would be best to call the Third Hokage too!"

Naruto's urgent shout snapped Satsuki out of her turmoil. Reason told her that Naruto was speaking the only correct option. Faced with her sister, whom she couldn't possibly defeat, seeking help was the only way to survive.

But... a strong sense of resistance, almost making her vomit, instantly surged wildly from the deepest part of her heart.

Run away? Does that mean... she has to abandon Naruto alone? Leave him alone in front of this woman who has the blood of her entire clan on her hands and is like a monster?

No… absolutely not! If I turn around and run away… if I return with reinforcements only to find Naruto lying in a pool of blood…

Just imagining that scene filled Zuoyue with a despair more terrifying than suffocation. She had already lost almost everything; she couldn't lose him too! Absolutely not!

"Hurry up and leave! I can't hold on much longer!"

Naruto shouted again, shattering Sasuke's last hesitation and hope. The undeniable anxiety and difficulty in his voice completely awakened her from her drowning fear and selfishness.

hateful……!

A surge of intense, burning emotion, a mixture of boundless regret and fierce resentment, suddenly overwhelmed her, screaming wildly within her heart. Why am I so weak?! Why can I only run away?! Why can't I protect anyone, and instead become the one being protected, even the one who holds her back?!

At this moment, tears welled up in my eyes again, but no longer because of the grief of losing a loved one, nor because of the anger of being betrayed.

This is self-loathing, a deep-seated hatred of weakness and powerlessness, and the deepest abhorrence of cruel fate!

Satsuki abruptly stood up, her head bowed the entire time, not daring to look at Itachi again, much less let Naruto see her expression. With all her might, she gritted her teeth and ran desperately towards the edge of the clan compound.

------

Damn it... I really don't want to do this kind of thing...

Naruto kept his eyes tightly shut, doing his best to maintain the powerful binding force of the Adamantine Sealing Technique, and he desperately suppressed the urge to open his eyes and check the situation.

Once they make eye contact with those Mangekyou Sharingan, Menma's shadow clones would probably be instantly shattered and dissipated by the illusion.

However, at this moment, he felt more distressed and conflicted than anything else.

According to his original plan and "script," once he intervened with his unusual power, Itachi's attention should be diverted from Satsuki, right? Satsuki would then be subjected to much less direct pressure.

He knew that awakening the Sharingan required extremely strong emotional stimulation, but he felt that it didn't necessarily have to be that Satsuki himself suffered direct and cruel harm.

If... if the person most important to her gets hurt in front of her... then... it should be okay, right?

Therefore, Naruto even secretly prepared himself for the possibility of getting injured. He was perfectly willing to endure some physical pain so that Sasuke could awaken his Sharingan.

But... as soon as the idea took shape, an extremely strong sense of déjà vu and awkwardness surged up.

Wait a minute... the more I think about it, the more wrong this plot seems?

He actively jumps out to draw fire, takes a knife for the female lead, and even plans to "make her watch me get hurt and then explode"... This, this looks like a scene from those clichéd "torture novels"!

This feeling... is absolutely awful!

Suddenly, an extremely strange, burning sensation, as if the meridians in the body were instantly ignited, rushed back along the chains!

「!?」

Naruto's alarm bells rang, and he instinctively opened his eyes a crack. The sight before him sent chills down his spine—a strange black flame had spontaneously ignited on those [Diamond Seal] bars!

No way?! You're going to use Amaterasu on a little kid like me? Are you serious?!

Despite inwardly cursing, Naruto didn't dare to act hastily. He immediately cut off the chakra supply and released the jutsu without hesitation.

Om-!

The golden chains instantly became transparent, then vanished completely into the air. Amaterasu hesitated for a moment, then, following the laws of gravity, floated gently down to the ground below.

However, in that brief moment when the chains dissipated and Naruto's old power was gone and his new power had not yet been generated.

call out!

In the next instant, Itachi Uchiha had already broken through the short distance between the two, appearing in front of Naruto in a flash! He delivered a straight punch that slammed into Naruto's abdomen!

The intense sense of crisis made Naruto's body react almost instinctively—to activate the Flying Thunder God Technique.

But he forcefully suppressed the thought as soon as it arose. No! Under the identity of "Naruto Uzumaki," he couldn't possibly use the Flying Thunder God Technique.

In a flash, reason forcefully suppressed instinct.

"Ugh—!"

The consequence of taking that punch head-on was an intense, excruciating pain that exploded instantly. The powerful impact made his vision go black, and his body involuntarily curled up like a shrimp, temporarily and completely losing his ability to move.

Immediately afterwards, a hand grabbed the back of his neck by the collar without mercy and easily lifted him up.

A wave of nausea washed over him, and Naruto gasped for breath, his vision blurring as he looked at Itachi Uchiha, who was carrying him.

As expected… it was exactly the worst-case scenario he had anticipated, or rather, the most “suitable” scenario from a planning perspective. Itachi chose to control this unexpected and powerful variable, and clearly intended to take him along when chasing Satsuki. Perhaps he wanted to use him to further provoke Satsuki.

But in any case...

Uchiha Itachi...you just wait...once this mess is completely over tonight...you'll see if I don't settle this score with you!
