Dangerous, aggressive, yet seductively sweet.
Naruto once again glimpsed the depths of the heart of the Uchiha Clan, known as the "love clan", hiding the possessiveness and obsession that is enough to completely devour people, and is extremely blazing.
At this moment, this dangerous side was unreservedly displayed before his eyes.
Faced with Satsuki's final declaration, which was almost threatening and full of yandere vibes, Naruto did not show any fear or flinch. On the contrary, an even more fiery light burst out from his blue eyes.
"Yes! I promise you!" Naruto responded loudly without hesitation, "I would rather thank God if you can promise to wait for me! As for the 'price' you mentioned..."
He suppressed the overly exaggerated smile on his face, his expression became extremely serious, and he solemnly declared every word.
"That's not a price at all! That's me, Uzumaki Naruto. One day in the future, I will definitely get the best - the best 'reward'!"
His voice was full of absolute confidence and expectation.
"Then it's settled! Wait until that day -" Naruto took a step forward, held Satsuki's hand tightly and forcefully, and made a vow of his own.
"When that day comes, my whole being, from body to soul, will be ready to accept everything from you! All your requests, all your 'no matter'! I promise, there will never be a trace of disobedience or hesitation! Because that moment that speaks to me must be the moment I have dreamed of and longed for!"
There is no need for suspicion, no need for testing, and no need for unnecessary roundabout ways. The relationship between Naruto and Satsuki should be like this - pure, direct, and full of trust.
As long as you tell the other party the truest words in your heart, no matter how excessive or dangerous the request may seem, you only need to use the most sincere words as a bridge to clearly communicate your sincerity and achieve the deepest understanding of each other.
The atmosphere relaxed again, and an indescribable tacit understanding and intimacy flowed between the two.
Satsuki lowered her head slightly and asked the last question in a small voice, which was also to confirm the current situation. "... Then... what is our relationship now?" She needed a new and clear definition to settle her turbulent emotions at the moment.
Naruto looked at her shy and expectant look, smiling and answering.
"It's a friend."
Seeing Satsuki pouting and looking dissatisfied, he immediately added. "——But! It's the only, special, temporary friend! It's the one who leads to the 'best reward', the one and only one!"
This definition made Satsuki raise his chin slightly with satisfaction.
"Then what should we do next... are you leaving now?" After a moment of silence, Satsuki looked at the deserted Uchiha Clan Compound and asked in a low voice with some reluctance.
Naruto didn't answer, but asked instead, leaving the decision-making power to her. "What do Satsuki think?"
Satsuki plucked up the courage, raised his rosy cheeks, and looked in the direction of his home deep in the clan, his voice filled with firm expectation.
"Do you want to come to my house? I want to... tell dad and mom... that we have an agreement..."
Naruto Looking at the girl in front of her who has removed all the heavy burdens and whose eyes are shining brightly again, her heart is filled with softness and warmth. He nodded vigorously and held her hand tightly.
"Yeah!" He responded with a smile, "Okay! Let's have fun together!"
