Cat

Satsuki's voice rang out, trembling slightly, interrupting Naruto's explanation about the Noble Phantasm and the starry sky.

She raised her head, her dark eyes staring straight at him, something churning, burning, and yearning deep within them. Instead of processing the complex information about "Starry Sky Connection," "Alternate Universe," and "Bonds Levels," she asked another question.

"If I make an unreasonable request, will you agree?"

Naruto paused for a moment. Then he smiled. "A request?" he asked softly, his voice without any hesitation. "Of course. Satsuki can make any request, and I will definitely fulfill it."

It's not about "trying my best" or "I'll give it a shot," it's about "I will definitely be satisfied."

For Naruto, this wasn't a promise that required much consideration. Even if Satsuki asked for the stars and the moon, he would get them—after all, with his current power, he could really do it, and he would give them to him.

Because she is his wife, the most important person in his life.

"..."

Satsuki remained silent.

But her eyes changed.

Humans are creatures that act according to their desires.

For Uchiha Satsuki at this moment, all the information about treasures, timelines, and other universes could be put aside for later.

All she wants now is to satisfy that desire in her heart.

Just like when faced with a delicious meal, she would rather devour it than be moved by the chef's sincerity.

Then, the next moment— Naruto felt a hand press down on the back of his head, and then his lips were covered.

It wasn't a gentle, tentative, gradual kiss; it was a thorough, domineering, and undeniable demand.

Satsuki's lips pressed tightly against his, burning with an undeniable power. They entangled him, plundered him, as if trying to steal his breath, his heartbeat, and his very soul.

Naruto's mind went blank for a moment.

The feeling was so intense that he could barely think.

Satsuki's kiss was filled with an almost frantic desire, every movement proclaiming, "You are mine." Her hand pressed against the back of his head, her knuckles threading through his hair, as if she wanted to meld him into her body. Her body was pressed tightly against his, and through the thin fabric, he could feel the burning heat of her skin and the rapid pounding of her heart.

That's too fast.

That was too intense.

Naruto's heart felt like it was going to jump out of his chest, his blood was surging wildly in his veins, every breath he took was stolen by Satsuki, every gasp was sealed by her lips. He felt his face burning, his ears burning, his whole body burning.

I don't know how much time passed.

Just as Naruto felt like he was suffocating and his consciousness was starting to fade, Satsuki finally let go of him.

"Huff... huff..."

Naruto was panting heavily, his chest heaving. His face was flushed, his eyes were glazed, and he seemed completely disoriented.

And what about Satsuki?

She stood before him, equally breathless, equally dazed, equally flushed. But the flames burning in her dark eyes were even more intense than before.

"Let's go," she said, her voice hoarse beyond belief.

"I... can't take it anymore." She grabbed Naruto's hand and led him towards the bedroom. "Naruto... likes..."

Her words were fragmented and somewhat unclear, but the meaning was crystal clear.

Naruto's face turned even redder. "Satsuki..." he stammered, "But... dinner hasn't come yet..."

He didn't finish his sentence because Satsuki turned around and glanced at him.

Just one glance.

Those dark eyes shimmered with a watery light, hazy yet burning, carrying an irresistible, pleading longing. Those eyes seemed to say, "Didn't you just say you'd definitely grant my request?"

Naruto swallowed all his words.

"... Hmm." He took a deep breath, as if to encourage himself. "I will continue to be a good husband."

"Naruto is so obedient."

Satsuki's lips curved into a smile, a smile brimming with satisfaction, anticipation, and a dangerously alluring charm that made hearts race. "Naruto's a good boy, he deserves a reward."

"A... reward?" Naruto's voice was slightly unsteady.

"Hmm." Satsuki licked her lips, a simple gesture that made Naruto's heart skip a beat. "I haven't used it yet since I bought it."

Her voice grew softer, hotter, like a feather brushing against the heart. "Because I was afraid Naruto would think I was a frivolous person. But..."

She looked at him, the light in her dark eyes shining brightly. "I think Naruto would really like it."

"Naruto... do you like cats?"

As soon as those words were spoken, Naruto was pulled towards his bedroom upstairs.

His mind was still hazy, and his steps were unsteady, but guided by Satsuki, he walked step by step up the stairs and into that familiar door.

The bedroom was dimly lit.

He saw Satsuki take a box out of a drawer, open it, and take out the contents... Naruto understood what "likes cats" meant.

Wearing the cat ear ornaments, Satsuki's dark eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a languid, cat-like allure. Then, she glanced at him. In that glance, besides shyness, there was expectation and a hope for being cherished.

"Meow. Naruto... do you like this?"

Naruto's brain completely stopped functioning.

The bedroom door was closed, isolating it from the outside world.

Downstairs, the two bowls of oyster Ramen on the dining table were still sitting there quietly.

Steaming hot soup, plump oysters, and vibrant green scallions—that was the dinner Satsuki had carefully prepared, a token of her love as a wife.

But for now, all they can do is wait.

The heat gradually dissipated, the broth gradually cooled, and the noodles gradually lost their elasticity.

Outside the window, the lights of Konoha Village gradually went out. One by one, those warm, orange lights dimmed until the entire neighborhood fell silent.

Only the moon hangs silently in the night sky, casting a silvery glow.

The Ramen was completely cold; it had lost all its warmth.

The noise from the upstairs bedroom showed no signs of stopping.

(Shen He took it down... 700 words were cut, but he finally let me send it...)
