Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 594 Brutal

"sorry!"

The morning sunlight shone through the paper door of the hotel room, and the air still carried the scent of last night. Naruto Uzumaki knelt on the tatami mat, looking like a primary school student who had done something wrong.

Across from him, Uchiha Satsuki sat on the edge of the bedding, his hair somewhat disheveled, looking as if he hadn't fully woken up from his sleep.

She was somewhat confused and bewildered. She tried hard to recall what had happened that morning. She woke up as usual, found herself in Naruto's arms as usual, and felt the warmth of his chest and the rhythm of his heartbeat as usual.

She was about to turn around as usual, find a more comfortable position in his arms, and then be affectionate with him as usual—when suddenly, Naruto sprang up, retreated to the other side of the tatami mat, knelt down, lowered his head, and said, "I'm sorry."

"Uh... ah? That..."

Satsuki's voice was a little hoarse, "Why did Naruto apologize?"

The images that had been flashing through Naruto's mind since last night were now flashing back to him again.

Naruto experienced for the first time what it felt like for a human to completely lose all ability to think and be left with only instinct.

His mind stopped working, his rationality vanished, and all his "morality," "restraint," and "upbringing" were shattered, leaving only a voice roaring repeatedly within his body like a wild beast.

He didn't know what he looked like then, or what Zuoyue felt—was it pain? Was it discomfort? Was it fear? Or… He dared not think about it.

"It's just... last night..." Naruto lowered his head even further, "I was so mean... Waaaaah... I don't know why I couldn't control myself at all back then... Satsuki must have been really upset... I'm so sorry..."

Naruto tried to blame the problem on those strange clothes, those things that were like wearing nothing at all, yet worse than wearing nothing at all!

"Huh? Apologize for something like that?"

Zuo Yue understood, and her face turned red. She also remembered what happened last night, and her fingers curled slightly on the blanket.

"It's okay." Satsuki's voice was still gentle. Her knees pressed a shallow indentation into the tatami mat. Then she took a step, reached out, wrapped her arms around Naruto's shoulders, and gently pulled his head into her arms.

"Naruto doesn't need to apologize." Her voice came from above his head.

"It is indeed a little uncomfortable..."

"But because it's Naruto, I was prepared."

She tightened her arms around him, pressing Naruto's head even deeper into her embrace.

"I love Naruto. I love everything about Naruto, including his out-of-control side, I will accept it all."

"And... at that time, I actually felt very happy."

Satsuki's lips curled up even higher, revealing a smile that was both mischievous and shy, making one's heart skip a beat.

"Next time Naruto loses control, remember to hold me tight."

"This is truly astonishing! I never imagined that something like that would be officially announced by Konoha!"

"Yes, the Fourth Hokage faked his death. That's great! The Fourth Hokage and the Fifth Hokage are governing Konoha together. The other villages must be worried sick now."

Almost everyone in the hot spring inn's restaurant was talking about this.

Everyone's talking about the same thing. The Fourth Hokage is back. The hero who "sacrificed" himself in the Nine-Tails' attack is actually alive.

This news spread like wildfire throughout the Land of Fire and the entire ninja world.

Naruto pricked up his ears and, relying on these conversations, understood what had happened. After he and Sasuke left, Minato of this world was resurrected and returned to Konoha. Konoha issued a statement, officially stating that the Fourth Hokage did not die on the day of the Nine-Tails' attack, but was on the verge of death and lost his fighting ability.

To prevent other countries from receiving the news and sending assassins to kill the Fourth Hokage who was unable to resist, Konoha simply sent out a message saying that the Fourth Hokage was dead, so that the Fourth Hokage could recuperate in peace.

Until recently, the Fourth Hokage finally recovered from his injuries and regained his power, reappearing before the world.

Naruto wasn't surprised. Although the official Konoha news was nonsense, they couldn't exactly tell the whole world, "Someone dug the Fourth Hokage out of his grave."

At this moment, Naruto and Satsuki were sitting in the most inconspicuous corner of the restaurant, eating the breakfast provided. There were two standard Japanese breakfasts on the table, and they tasted alright.

"Satsuki, when are we leaving?" Naruto asked. Of course, he hadn't forgotten Satsuki's goal—to find the real Naruto Uzumaki, who had grown up as a girl.

Although seeing a female version of himself was a little embarrassing, Naruto had to choose to support her.

"Let's... stay here for another day," Satsuki replied. "This is my first time staying at a hot spring inn with Naruto. Let's leave tomorrow."

"Okay. But, does Satsuki have any ideas? What should we do next?"

"...those clothes."

"I want to try again." Satsuki looked up at Naruto, her eyes shining brightly in the morning light, filled with a shy yet determined light.

Naruto paused with his chopsticks in his hand, his throat bobbed, and his fingers tightened slightly on the chopsticks. Then he heard Satsuki say something else.

"Let's go back to our room first. I want to enjoy Naruto's 'gentle roughness' a little longer."

Thus, Satsuki's straightforward words left Naruto both excited and shy, unable to utter a single word.

The two quickly finished their breakfast. Then, hand in hand, they walked towards their room.
