Chapter 94

"Namikaze Menma, don't go too far!"

The black-haired girl glared with wide eyes, a mix of shame and anger as she looked at Naruto.

"I'm a Special Jōnin at least! Even if you saved me and the Uchiha clan, that doesn't mean you can humiliate me like this!"

She wasn't unfamiliar with Icha Icha Paradise and knew well what the men and women in it did.

Though she had made up her mind, she couldn't accept such disgrace, especially not in this way.

At the very least, intimacy shouldn't start like this!

Seeing the flustered girl, Naruto pretended to be surprised.

"Why are you reacting like this? I just wanted to look at your eyes."

"...Eh!?"

Izumi froze for a moment, then instantly blushed red.

"You just wanted to look at my eyes?"

"What else!?" Naruto responded innocently.

"If you didn't want to kneel, you could've just sat beside me."

Izumi became even more embarrassed, wishing she could dig a hole and bury herself. She couldn't even look Naruto in the eyes.

"Alright, let me see your eyes…"

Naruto smiled and grabbed Izumi's hand, pulling her to sit beside him.

Feeling how close they were, Izumi instantly turned into a statue, frozen stiff on the bed.

Naruto then gently held her chin and turned her face toward him.

"Let me have a look…"

He stared into the blood-red Sharingan.

He saw her embarrassment, anger, and sorrow… But what Naruto focused on was none of that.

He simply stared quietly into her eyes.

"As I thought… just a little more…"

Naruto let go of her chin.

Izumi quickly turned her head away.

A few seconds later, she couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked softly:

"Menma-dono, what did you mean by 'just a little more'?"

"The evolution of the Sharingan."

Naruto didn't plan on hiding it. He looked at her with interest.

"After what happened tonight, I can see your Sharingan is on the verge of evolving."

He had already noticed something odd about her eyes.

Though it was still a three-tomoe Sharingan, for a brief moment, the three tomoe had connected.

"My three-tomoe Sharingan!?"

Izumi widened her eyes in shock.

Realizing what that meant, a joyful light appeared in her eyes.

"The Mangekyō Sharingan! My eyes are turning into the Mangekyō Sharingan, our clan's most powerful dōjutsu!"

She remembered what the clan elders said about it—

Once the Mangekyō Sharingan is awakened, a shinobi's power could leap from a Chūnin to Elite Jōnin instantly.

Such was the terrifying potential of the Mangekyō.

It must've been the emotional shock from the clan's destruction that triggered this evolution in her eyes.

But once she thought of the massacre, Izumi's expression turned cold, and her Sharingan glinted blood-red.

"I'll kill them… Root… Danzō… and Hiruzen!"

Bonk!

Naruto flicked her forehead.

As she looked at him in anger, Naruto said calmly:

"Stop dreaming. You think you can take on Konoha just because you have the Mangekyō?"

"If it were that easy, you think I'd still be here chatting with you? I'd have destroyed Konoha long ago."

"Konoha is terrifying. Think of Shisui. He chose to kill himself rather than let the Uchiha go to war with the village."

Izumi slowly calmed down.

She had to admit, Naruto was right.

Even if she awakened the Mangekyō, she couldn't fight the village.

Forget the Hokage and Danzō—those two alone could easily kill her.

They were the Second Hokage's disciples, after all.

And from the clan records, the Second Hokage had indeed killed Uchiha shinobi who possessed the Mangekyō.

"Also…"

Naruto's smile turned sly.

"Why only target Konoha? Isn't Itachi one of the main culprits behind the clan's destruction?"

Izumi was at a loss for words.

Seeing the conflicted look on her face, Naruto leaned forward and kissed her cheek.

Izumi's eyes went wide.

Her face turned bright red in shame and fury. She instinctively reached for the weapons pouch at her waist.

But Naruto looked completely unfazed.

"Forget about Itachi. No matter what, he did destroy the Uchiha clan."

Izumi's chest rose and fell rapidly, full of turmoil.

But in the end, she didn't resist. She only bit her lower lip in silence.

Naruto knew not to push too far.

He gave her a light pinch on the cheek and said:

"Alright, your clan is cleaning up the houses. Go help out, okay? They're just a bunch of kids."

Izumi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to leave the room, Naruto's voice came from behind.

"Wait. Call Guren for me."

The black-haired girl soon found the mature, voluptuous blue-haired woman and delivered the message.

"Guren-dono, Menma-dono is looking for you."

"Menma-dono…"

The long-haired beauty froze for a second.

Her face slowly turned red.

"Alright, I understand…"

Why is she blushing like that? Aren't they just superior and subordinate…?

Izumi was confused but led Guren to the room.

Watching her walk in, Izumi paused for a moment, then decided to check on the underground base.

After all, there were dozens of kids down there, and Shisui alone might not be enough.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly stopped.

From the room behind her, she heard… strange noises.

"Mmm… Menma-dono… you've grown again lately… ah…"

"Yeah, I grew another ten centimeters. I'm almost two meters tall. And I've got… bigger needs too."

"Menma-dono… I can't take anymore…"

"Then lie down…"

Izumi blinked and crept over to the window.

Peeking through it, she saw what was going on inside the room—

and immediately blushed furiously.

So that was a superior-subordinate relationship…

But the superior was clearly 'guiding' the subordinate...

Guren looked like she was about to cry.

Izumi couldn't bear to watch anymore.

Her face burning, she quickly ran down to the underground base to help.

Several peaceful days passed.

Unlike the calm of Otogakure, the rest of the ninja world was in an uproar.

News of the Uchiha clan's extermination couldn't be concealed, and it quickly spread across the entire shinobi world.

All the shinobi, everywhere, were shocked.

No one could believe it—

The Uchiha clan, praised as the strongest, was completely wiped out in a single night!
