There was another source of chakra there, one that made him drool, drove him mad, and set every cell in his body trembling... Perfect, vast, brimming with the ultimate vitality!
"And... Naruto Uzumaki..." Orochimaru's laughter sounded especially chilling in the dark alley.
"You two... I want you both!"
Naruto's apartment.
He was bare from the waist up, lying facedown on the soft couch as he enjoyed Haku's bonelessly soft little hands massaging his firm back muscles.
The warmth of Yang Release Chakra seeped through Haku's fingertips and into Naruto's slightly fatigued chakra pathways after suppressing the Hyuga Clan, making him so comfortable he nearly moaned aloud.
"Mmm... Haku's skills are getting better and better."
Naruto commented lazily.
"As long as Lord Naruto likes it, Haku... can massage you for a lifetime."
Haku replied in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, cheeks flushed as her hands worked even harder.
Yet amid that warm, intimate atmosphere, the system radar in Naruto's mind suddenly began flashing wildly.
Red lights blazed!
Alarm bells roared!
[Ding! High-energy warning! Detected Super S-Rank: bloodline bond target of the same clan, 'Karin Uzumaki,' has entered the Hidden Leaf!] [Ding! Detected S-Rank: Queen of Wind bond target, 'Temari,' has entered the Hidden Leaf!] [Ding! Detected S-Rank: Serpent Desire bond target, 'Mitaraishi Anko,' is already in position within the Hidden Leaf!] [System Notice: The prey have entered. The grand hunting feast has officially begun!]
Naruto's eyes snapped open!
He grabbed Haku's soft little hand and rolled over into a sitting position.
Startled by his sudden movement, Haku let out a soft cry and fell straight into his broad, solid embrace.
"L-Lord Naruto?"
Naruto did not answer. He merely held the warm, soft body in his arms tighter, while a cruel and excited curve belonging to a top predator formed at the corner of his lips.
"Finally... you've come?"
He murmured softly, a storm named ambition churning in his azure eyes.
"My great net has been hungry for far too long!"
Revive the Uzumaki Clan!
Those six words were branded deep into his soul!
This was not merely a mission issued by the system. It was also the destiny he had to fulfill as a transmigrator, as Naruto Uzumaki!
And Karin, the girl who shared his pure Uzumaki Bloodline, had instantly ignited the dormant genetic instincts within Naruto!
It was a longing for his own kind, a longing to continue the bloodline, a mad obsession with rebuilding the clan...
He could feel his blood racing and roaring, every cell screaming for him to find her, protect her, and possess her!
There absolutely could not be a second man in this world allowed to touch a woman of his Uzumaki Clan!
As for that old pervert Orochimaru, lurking in the shadows and eyeing Karin like a prized morsel... Naruto licked his lips, and a flash of icy killing intent passed through his eyes.
Trying to steal her right under his nose?
Then Orochimaru had better be prepared for Naruto to use the most brutal, unreasonable force to crush every bone in his body inch by inch, then tie him into a dead knot!
Naruto patted the beauty in his arms on the rear and gave his order. "Haku, get me dressed."
"Yes, Lord Naruto!"
Haku immediately slipped out of his arms, cheeks crimson as she fetched a fresh set of fitted clothes and dressed Naruto with gentle, practiced movements.
As Haku adjusted his collar, Naruto looked down at her stunning face, filled with worship and attachment, and instructed her, "Haku, you're an S-Rank surveillance target. You can't move around widely in public areas of the Hidden Leaf, or you'll draw ANBU attention. During the Chunin Exams, stay home and wait for me."
He lifted her delicate chin with one finger, his tone carrying unquestionable control. "Clean up the house, prepare a lavish dinner, and wait for me to come back and inspect it."
Haku nodded obediently, happiness shining in her beautiful eyes, as though receiving an order from her master was an incomparably glorious thing.
She rose onto her tiptoes and gently kissed Naruto's cheek. Blushing, she answered in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Yes, Lord Naruto. Haku... will wait for your return."
A short while later, Naruto, now dressed in fitted clothes, swaggered down the road toward the Chunin Exams registration site with Sasuke and Sakura.
The moment they turned a corner, they saw a commotion ahead.
Kankuro was gripping Konohamaru by the collar with an annoyed expression, while Temari stood nearby with her arms folded, watching coldly.
"Hey, isn't it a little rude to cause trouble in someone else's village?"
A somewhat lazy voice rang out.
Temari and the others turned toward the sound.
When she saw Naruto's handsome face beneath the sunlight, brimming with youthful spirit, Temari's heart inexplicably skipped a beat.
This guy... is actually pretty handsome.
But years of pride immediately suppressed that strange feeling, and her green eyes returned to their usual cold disdain.
"Another Hidden Leaf loser. What, do you want to stand up for this brat?"
She snorted coldly, looking down at him.
Yet Naruto did not even bother responding to her provocation.
His highly invasive gaze roamed freely from Temari's long, shapely legs wrapped in black stockings, up across her hot, curvaceous figure, before finally stopping on her pretty face written with arrogance.
Then, beneath everyone's stunned gazes, he let out a loud, frivolous whistle.
"Whew—!"
It was loud, clear, and brimming with the raw scent of male hormones.
Temari froze completely, her mind blank.
Since childhood, no one had ever looked at her with such... such an almost humiliating gaze!
Much less whistled at her like some hooligan!
"You bastard... you're courting death!!"
Temari's face instantly flushed red, whether from anger or embarrassment, as she instinctively reached for the giant fan on her back.
But Naruto could not even be bothered to look at her again.
He shoved both hands back into his pockets, swaggering like he owned the place as he strode straight into the building where the examination hall was located.
Leaving behind the Hidden Sand princess, trembling with rage yet feeling something deep inside her fiercely stirred, unable to react for a moment.
And a red-faced figure who gritted her teeth and squeezed out two words through clenched jaws...
"Bastard!"
With his hands in his pockets, Naruto calmly entered the examination building, Sasuke and Sakura following closely behind him.
The classroom was already full. More than a hundred genin from different ninja villages had gathered together, and the air was thick with oppressive tension.
Every gaze cast their way was like a poison-tipped steel needle, filled with scrutiny, hostility, and vigilance.
Naruto paid them no mind. His deep blue eyes calmly swept across the room before he led Sakura and Sasuke to three empty seats and sat down.
