Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 538 Travel

The matter is over.

Jiraiya sat in the Hokage's office, a stack of documents taller than himself piled up in front of him, his expression worse than if his mother had died.

The official statement has already been released, and the village's salvation this time is largely thanks to Uchiha Satsuki, a descendant of the Uchiha clan of Konoha.

She used some powerful illusion technique to directly control all the monsters attacking Konoha. Single-handedly, she saved the village from disaster.

Of course, the article didn't mention where the "water and fire" came from.

It didn't even mention what was wrong with Zuoyue's eyes.

Just say she's amazing, say she's done great things, say she saved the village—that's all.

What remains is a huge amount of cleanup work.

Release information, reassure the public, tally the losses, claim credit, and devise foreign policy...

After all, this time the ability to resurrect the dead was used. Although other major powers dared not launch a war because they were wary of Konoha and [Jin]'s power, the formalities still had to be done.

Diplomatic language, official statements, and various diplomatic notes—none of them can be omitted.

Jiraiya looked at the pile of documents and sighed deeply.

And all of this, as the person directly involved, is Uchiha Satsuki...

They didn't care at all.

That woman didn't care about any of that nonsense. All she cared about was spending every day with Naruto, enjoying her honeymoon and their world together. As for any cleanup work, any foreign policy, any claims of credit—

What does this have to do with her?

Therefore, all these tasks fell to Jiraiya.

He'll have to stay up all night again.

That wasn't even the worst part. In order to have someone stay with him through it all, he threw a tantrum and forced the Third Hokage, who was originally planning to go home and rest, to stay.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was sitting opposite him, holding a document in his hand, his face clearly saying, "Why am I here?"

Jiraiya felt no remorse whatsoever for making an almost eighty-year-old man work overtime all night.

Just kidding, you're already in such a miserable state, you have to drag someone down with you, right?

Two days later, several figures slowly appeared at the gate of Konoha Village.

Minato Namikaze walked at the front, followed by Kakashi Hatake, Rin Nohara, and Yamato.

All four of them looked a little tired, but they were in good spirits.

Especially Lin, who was accompanied by a butterfly.

It was a very ordinary butterfly, no different from any other butterfly. But it was particularly clingy, sometimes landing on her shoulder, sometimes fluttering around her, sometimes settling on the back of her hand, and no matter how hard she tried to shoo it away, it wouldn't leave.

To an outsider, it would probably just look like a pet.

Keeping insects as pets is not uncommon in Konoha—after all, there is a clan here where every ninja is covered in insects.

Compared to that scene, a butterfly is nothing.

And Yamato now has a "companion" by his side.

It was a white thing, without facial features, only a swirling face...

It followed behind Yamato, hopping and skipping, chattering incessantly.

"Wow! This is Konoha Village! It's huge! Much bigger than a cave! These houses are so beautiful! Those people are looking at us! Are they looking at me? They must be looking at me! After all, I'm so handsome!"

Yamato's eyelids twitched, but he ultimately said nothing.

He discovered that after donning Tobi's robes, the power of his Wood Release would increase many times over.

The increase in power was simply unbelievable. In addition, Ah Fei had indeed saved his life—so when Ah Fei asked if he could come with him, he agreed.

Let it follow.

Anyway... it was quite lively.

The villagers of Konoha have also experienced some changes in the past few days.

At the heart of the change is Uchiha Satsuki.

After all, she was the one who "saved the village." After that news spread, Satsuki's status in the village rose sharply.

When she goes out to buy groceries, the vendors will stuff a bunch of free vegetables into her hands.

When she and Naruto were walking in Konoha, they would be surrounded by villagers who would express their gratitude in a cacophony of voices.

"Lord Satsuki! Thank you so much!"

"You are our great benefactor!"

"If you need anything in the future, just let me know!"

Zuo Yue's face always maintained that aloof expression.

But she was already getting impatient.

What she found most unbearable was the situation at her doorstep.

The enthusiastic villagers brought piles of gifts: flowers, fruit, snacks, banners, and various thank-you notes... piling up right in front of my house.

If that were all, Satsuki could still tolerate it.

The problem is that after giving out the gifts, those people didn't leave. They just lingered around the house, whispering and pointing, as if they were looking at something rare.

Satsuki felt a surge of anger when she thought about how a group of villagers had been watching out of gratitude while she and Naruto were being intimate.

The feeling was like having countless eyes watching your most private, precious, and undisturbed moments.

Another morning.

Sunlight streamed into the bedroom through the gaps in the curtains. As usual, Zuo Yue got out of bed, dressed, and walked to the door, ready to start a new day. She reached out, grasped the doorknob, and gently pulled it open.

Then, as expected, the doorway was piled high with gifts.

The gifts stretched from the edge of the doorway all the way to the end of the yard, piled up so high that there was hardly any room to step.

Packages of all sizes were crammed together, like a small mountain blocking her way.

Zuoyue stood there expressionless, gazing at the "mountain of gifts." Then, she bent down, picked up the top box, and unwrapped it.

Inside was a box of very expensive-looking desserts. The exquisite lacquer box had a beautiful design, and each dessert was carefully arranged like a work of art.

The box also contained a small card with the words "Thank you, Lord Satsuki, for saving the village" written in neat handwriting.

A look of disgust involuntarily appeared on Zuo Yue's face.

These people, these villagers, probably thought that all girls liked sweets.

But what they didn't know was that Uchiha Satsuki's least favorite food was very sweet desserts.

This is all the fault of a certain Uchiha who has an extreme sweet tooth and a Naruto-like mindset.

These people give gifts based on the sentiment, without caring whether the recipient likes them or not.

Satsuki's first reaction was to smash the thing on the ground and let those arrogant people know that not every gift will be liked.

But she held back, because wasting food is a bad thing.

She sighed softly, closed the box again, and casually placed it on top of the pile of gifts beside her. She'd pack them all up later and take them to the orphanage. Those children would probably like sweets.

"Satsuki is really popular."

Naruto's voice came from behind him. He leaned against the door frame, looking at the mountain of gifts, and then at Satsuki's expressionless profile, and couldn't help but tease him.

"If this continues, I might get jealous."

Zuoyue turned her head and looked at him.

"Idiot," she said. "What are you saying?"

"Those people are irrelevant to me. I don't care at all what their attitude is."

Naruto felt a surge of warm satisfaction upon hearing this.

It seems that Satsuki's yandere tendencies are about to disappear because of his companionship and the strong sense of security he provides.

She is no longer the little girl who was always worried about losing, always wanted to possess, and always expressed her love in extreme ways.

That's what he was thinking.

Satsuki spoke again.

This time, there was a hint of grievance in her voice.

"I'm more worried about..."

She lowered her eyes slightly. "Will Naruto be troubled by this?"

Naruto was stunned for a moment.

"If Naruto were to even frown..."

She looked up, and in her eyes, a light that Naruto both recognized and feared, shone. "If those people upset Naruto—I'll teach them a lesson they'll never forget, so they'll never dare show their faces in front of me again."

Naruto looked at her, at her serious face, at her earnest eyes, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"...Oh, I see."

A complex smile appeared on his face. "Then Satsuki doesn't need to worry."

He stepped forward, reached out, and gently ruffled Satsuki's hair. "I'm so proud of you."

Satsuki squinted her eyes slightly, like a cat being stroked, enjoying the intimacy.

Ok.

Naruto thought to himself.

It seems her yandere tendencies haven't disappeared yet.

However… he looked down at Zuoyue’s satisfied face, at the slightly upturned corners of her mouth, and at her eyes that had become softer from being stroked—and couldn’t help but smile.

Even the yandere Satsuki is especially adorable to her.

After Naruto's hand fell, Satsuki spoke again, and this time, her tone suddenly became enthusiastic.

"Oh, right, Naruto."

She looked up at him, her dark eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"It's too noisy here, how about... we go on a trip?"
