Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 544 Little Naruto

Naruto stood not far away, his face full of worry, looking at the vulnerable Sasuke he had never seen before.

In his mind, Sasuke was always powerful, reliable, and proud.

He really liked Sasuke like that.

Just thinking about how powerful and reliable Sasuke was his comrade filled Naruto with indescribable joy and pride.

But now—Sasuke is trembling.

Sasuke was choking up.

Sasuke is crying.

Naruto cried when he first saw Sasuke.

The anger that had been burning because Sasuke was leaving Konoha and abandoning them had vanished without a trace.

All that's left is uncontrollable heartache.

Seeing Sasuke so heartbroken, Naruto felt really bad.

He took a deep breath, took a step, and slowly walked up to Sasuke.

"Sasuke..."

After confirming that Sasuke would not leave Konoha, and that the things that angered him would not happen, Naruto's voice naturally softened, no longer the roar and shouts from before.

Sasuke didn't respond, remaining standing there with a blank stare into some unknown place.

"I don't know what to say."

Naruto continued speaking.

"I don't know how much pain you're in. I don't know how heavy those things are. I don't know... how the survivors should face those who have died..."

"Because I've always been all alone."

These words were spoken so softly that they were almost blown away by the night breeze.

But Naruto quickly raised his head again, his eyes fixed on Sasuke.

"But I know one thing."

His voice became firm.

"You are my comrade."

"Furthermore, you are still alive, you didn't go to Orochimaru, and your body wasn't taken away."

"As long as you stay by my side, I am not alone."

"And I won't leave you alone."

He scratched his head, a slightly embarrassed smile appearing on his face. "Sorry, I'm really bad at comforting people."

His voice became clumsy again, "But... you don't have to figure it out right now."

"You don't have to pull yourself together right now, you don't have to decide how to live right now."

His gaze became incredibly serious.

"You can do nothing until you figure those things out."

"And here I am."

"Turn around, and I'll be there."

Even if you don't turn around, I'll still be here.

Those words were simple and clumsy, without any fancy words or profound philosophy.

But these thoughts flowed into Sasuke's ears and into his heart, and some things that had been ignored began to resurface.

companion.

Those days of carrying out missions together, those times of eating together, that loser who always followed behind him calling "Sasuke"...

Was I really alone in the end?

If I never truly considered Naruto a comrade—why did my heart ache so much when I decided to leave Konoha and abandon everything?

It felt like his body was being torn apart, the pain making it hard for him to breathe.

Sasuke's gaze remained unfocused, but the thought that would normally surface—"Why am I the only one who survived?"—was temporarily suppressed and sank deep into his heart.

But the problem remains.

What should I do?

Who can truly help me understand how to live?

Those pains, those confusions, those bewilderments of not knowing who to hate, who to forgive, or where to go—who knows the answers?

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

He slowly raised his head, his eyes, still stained with tears, looking at the adult man who had been standing beside him.

Naruto from another world.

That person who possessed unimaginable power, yet was willing to patiently listen to everything he had to say.

He spoke, his voice hoarse and strained, carrying an uncertain tentative tone.

"Can...can I talk to my future self?"
