Chapter 288: I care about you
Naruto took care of himself, he knew what to say and when to say, and therefore brought up this topic at the right moment. Of course, he was surprised how such a selfish and bitchy girl suddenly became so ... So passive and miserable. He liked to look at her weak side, but what he most wanted was the exact opposite! Where is her struggle, bitchy aggression and selfish desires? Haughtiness, arrogance? He wanted to see a narcissistic bitch, not this... Pathetic girl. She was waiting for her boyfriend like a broken toy...
Naruto already knew the reasons, but still couldn't figure it out, so he decided to go the other way. In the beginning, he pressed on her weaknesses, but the very wound that made her so fragile, and now, he wanted to awaken strength in her, to see the very bitch from which there was only one shell!
From simply beating him, which he had previously done, he moved on to a war in which she would have a chance to answer him, with all her aggressive nature. She only needs to remember what she really is, Sakura Haruno.
He just pointed out her weaknesses a couple of times, but she no longer screams and swears - this was disappointing ... To conquer this woman, there is an ideal method, and now he has taken another step, defiantly saying that he gave her a chance.
And just look, she still does not respond with aggression ... She herself doubts, it is understandable, after all, the true Sakura, she is also an egoist. She didn't just doubt - she crushed her fiery essence and made it smolder at the bottom. All you need to do is add oil to this insignificant flame!
"Make him stay, choose you, you can even use your daughter!"
Sakura raised her teary eyes. This obviously offended her...
"Naruto, b-but... Why?! Why are you saying all this? I… I…" she sobbed, "I didn't want to… So why…"
Her questions were obvious, she tried to find the reason, maybe guessing. Knowing her character and the haste of conclusions, he decided to help her.
He sighed.
"I told you… I care about you. Understand?
Her heart fluttered!
- BUT?
Sakura pursed her lips and asked in disbelief:
"Y-you mean to say..?" B-but, after so many years... W-we were kids...
- So what?
His question puzzled her and tears rolled down her cheeks again:
"B-but… But what about… What about Hinata?"
"And what about my wife?" He chuckled coldly. "She's not relevant. I saved it for you, brought it back practically intact... Stepped back and chose another one. You understand everything... I have enough rights to climb into your life. I know it makes you angry, very offended ... But, I want it to make you become yourself again!
Naruto pushed her a cup of sake, and said sternly:
- Do as I say. He must choose and stop torturing you! Don't care about the mission! And stop already indulging his desires, you have your own! He grabbed Sakura's hand, causing her to flinch in surprise, and then put the cup of sake into his frail palm and nodded frowningly.
- Drink. Do not Cry. Stop thinking about you and me, and even more so, think about yourself and your future. That's what I want. I have the right, after all, to behave so selfishly?
"I..." Sakura wanted to say something more, but Naruto's insistent tone made her resign, she wiped away her tears and drained her cup in one gulp, grimacing as a result.
- Uhh...
"That's good..." He poured her another drink and made her drink again.
This heavy and almost one-sided conversation, which only the two of them understood, ended in a strange way...
Sakura knew what he was talking about, because this was one of her main misfortunes. She did not think that he was so worried and understood everything ... Naruto seemed to see right through her. Really, all these quarrels...?
She drank and sighed again...
How did it all come about?
Awkwardly looking at his face, she did not understand what to say now.
Be selfish? She had never behaved like this with Sasuke... And what would happen if she tried? Will he run away? Will he understand? He was never around...
And everything Naruto said... How can you even respond to that? Pleasant, sad, embarrassing, painful and bitter... Even sake didn't leave behind such bitterness.
He did not force her to answer or accept the words spoken, but only made it clear that he only wanted her happiness. The realization of this gave warmth to the heart ...
Maybe it's all about sake?
How strange... Was he always like this?
Naruto's face seemed to be different, he had changed a lot, she no longer doubted it. The old man would never have said something like that...
Continuing to exchange glances and maintain an awkward silence, Sakura seemed to calm down until she finally decided to ask something she couldn't get out of her head.
"L-Listen, that time in the Land of Iron, actually, I…"
But unexpectedly...
- Mother? Sensei? Sarada looked into the kitchen and immediately ran up to her mother excitedly:
"Wh-what?" What happened? Mom, why are you crying?
"Ah... T-this is..." Quickly wiping away the last of her tears, Sakura smiled sadly as she briefly glanced at Naruto before smiling softly.
- Everything is fine, it's just that we ... We remembered the past, and my mother gave vent to feelings. Don't worry, dear.
- Yes? Sarada narrowed her eyes suspiciously as she turned to Naruto.
- Sensei...
"It's my fault," he didn't deny, "I just talk a lot. Talked to everyone...
On the eve of Sasuke's arrival, a step towards Sakura could play a very important role, one might even say decisive, in her future conquest. Getting Sarada in advance turned out to be very timely. Even if Mom was crying, she didn't feel any hostility towards Sensei, but just started comforting her.
"Y-yes, it's fine, honey, I'm fine already..." Sakura continued, still in the same warm voice. In fact, she was very happy about the arrival of her daughter, without realizing the reason herself.
"You know," Sarada said sternly, wiping the light smudges of mascara on her mother's face with a handkerchief.
Don't cry in front of others...
"Yeah, you're right." With a bitter smile, Sakura looked at Naruto again, causing him to chuckle.
- Just relax. You have a wonderful daughter.
"Hmm, you're absolutely right here ..." Touching the thin palm of her girl, Sakura smiled affectionately: "She's the best for me.
Sarada was embarrassed and blushed slightly, not so much because of her mother's praise, but because of his wonderful words...
With a quick glance at Sensei from under her wet bangs, she whispered sweetly:
You are the best too...
Naruto stood up, chuckling, stretching and chuckling.
"Then, since I've come, my dear student, let's cook dinner."
He clearly did not intend to leave this house before the right time. Today he had another goal. He executed the first part of the plan - it was the turn of the second.
— Eh? Dinner? Sakura suddenly came to her senses and was immediately distracted from what had happened, but...
- Y-yes! Sensei! With a joyful gleam in her eyes, Sarada agreed without hesitation, stopping her mother.
After the shower, the girl's hair remained slightly damp, which gave her a special charm. This time, instead of the usual open clothes, Sarada put on a black blouse with a high collar, covering all hickeys on her neck and other marks on her young body. If Sakura somehow saw this, the whole conversation would quickly turn into a dangerous area.
However, due to tensions in the past, she never discussed how Sarada became his student with Naruto, so now she has the idea to do so. The things hidden under her clothes were of little interest to her ...
Naruto admiringly admired the figure of his young beauty.
As always, charming!
In tight shorts, her legs looked damn sexy, black stockings perfectly emphasized their beauty. The sleeves of the dark sweater practically hid her palms, giving her an even more charming and petite look.
And this amazing figurine now completely belonged to him! Sakura would never believe that her young daughter's virginity had long since been taken away by this selfish bastard making her question every choice in her life.
