Chapter 502 System
Chapter 502 System
Satsuki lowered her head, and Naruto couldn't see her expression.
But he saw it; he saw her body trembling slightly, as if some enormous emotion was surging within her, suppressed, struggling to break free.
Those words—"mine." "Forever." They were like precise keys, inserted into the deepest lock in Zuo Yue's heart.
She wanted him to be hers.
I want him to last forever.
She is an Uchiha, an Uchiha who values emotions more than life itself. She is Uchiha Sasuke, and she knows all too well how pathological, obsessive, and terrifying she is. She is terrified that Naruto might not accept her as she is.
And now, that person is telling her—"I am yours. Forever."
These words greatly pleased Zuoyue.
That kind of satisfaction cannot be described by ordinary "happiness" or "moved". It is a feeling of being completely filled from the spiritual level to the emotional level.
I was so touched, and then, those feelings of being touched immediately transformed into something else.
Love.
For Uchiha Satsuki, love was never something that could be quietly kept in his heart and slowly savored.
Love needs to be expressed.
We need to assert our possession in the most thorough way possible.
Use hugs, kisses, and deeper, more thorough ways to make her truly feel "he is mine".
Naruto was unaware that if he continued talking, Sasuke would immediately pounce on him, hug him, and start kissing him.
He was thinking about other things.
Satsuki... has completely opened her heart to me. This realization warmed Naruto's heart.
That's right, Naruto didn't feel the slightest bit scared when his wife used to do those extreme yandere behaviors—collecting old clothes, taking photos secretly, and hiding cameras in the eyes of dolls.
Yes, it's just a feeling of regret. After all, Naruto himself grew up lacking love, and he also inherited someone else's romantic tendencies.
The power of heredity is terrifying, so when Naruto faced Sasuke's overly heavy feelings, he not only didn't find them terrifying, but actually—liked them very much.
That dependence of "you can't live without me," that obsession of "you are my everything," that resoluteness of "I'm willing to do anything for you"—to him, these were not burdens, but treasures.
Since Satsuki has already given me everything... Naruto thought, and a certain idea suddenly popped into his mind.
He remembered what Zuoyue had left inside his body.
That was the Amaterasu Fire, capable of altering concepts. Satsuki gave it to him as a token, a guarantee. With that, he could freely modify even Satsuki's will and everything else.
He knew what he had to do.
"Come here, Satsuki," Naruto said, "hold out your hand."
Zuo Yue didn't ask why, didn't hesitate, and didn't have any doubts. She immediately stretched out her hand, her dark eyes staring straight at him, the light in them burning fiercely—it was absolute trust, absolute surrender, absolute "I'll do whatever you want me to do."
Naruto felt a warmth in his heart. He grasped Sasuke's hand, and the next moment, a special chakra flowed slowly into Sasuke's body through their clasped hands.
That was some of Naruto's original chakra.
It contains Naruto's power—a power that Sasuke can borrow.
And... memories.
Just like the connection between a tailed beast and its jinchūriki, this chakra will build a bridge between them, allowing Sasuke to be completely open with Naruto from now on.
It's not a one-sided, unreserved exchange.
It is two-way, real, thorough, and complete—"without reservation."
A warm feeling instantly filled Satsuki's body.
That warmth wasn't just ordinary temperature; it was a warmth that welled up from the depths of the soul, a warmth that made you want to immerse yourself in it. It was warm and comforting, because it was Naruto's feeling.
Satsuki really enjoyed this feeling. How much? Second only to doing what a married couple does with Naruto.
No...
Satsuki's breathing became rapid. She really... couldn't take it anymore... she really wanted to possess Naruto completely right now.
It's not the kind of simple, gentle, gradual love.
It was the kind of feeling that made her truly feel "he is mine," completely, utterly, without any reservations... Hmm?
Suddenly, a strange sound rang out from the depths of her consciousness.
The voice didn't seem to come from the outside world; it sounded more like it was resounding directly within her soul. It was a human voice that resembled a machine-synthesized voice.
【Ding! 】
Satsuki's eyes widened slightly.
[Congratulations, host: You have established a bond with the original character "Naruto Uzumaki" (Levels 9,223,372,036,854,775,807) (The relationship has undergone a fundamental change)!]
[Reward: 4000 points!]
"...What is that?" Satsuki looked at the hand that Naruto was holding, his dark eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.
"That is—" Naruto began.
He paused, considering where to begin his explanation. "The things that made me stronger, Zuo Yue can also use now."
Why do I have my own system?
This kind of thing certainly can't be explained by the "standard features of a time traveler." Besides, he wasn't a pure time traveler at all.
...about a year ago.
Naruto was seventeen years old at the time, and had only recently mastered the power of planets. He began to ponder a question: since he could absorb the chakra of planets, could he go a step further? Could he absorb… the chakra of the starry sky itself?
It is not from any particular planet, but rather an energy that is scattered throughout the endless universe and belongs to the starry sky itself.
He tried.
As a result, the starry sky responded to him through the power of the Star Eye.
They created a special treasure.
Starry Sky Connection: Abyss of Myriad Realms
This is the name given to it by the starry sky.
Its primary characteristic is so complex it's mind-boggling.
Once a Noble Phantasm is formed in the current timeline, it will automatically issue an "existence declaration" to all "past" timelines.
From the moment the caster is born until the "now" when the Noble Phantasm is formed, the Noble Phantasm will be "forcibly inserted" along this complete timeline.
In other words.
Even though Naruto created this Noble Phantasm a year ago, in terms of the timeline, it has existed since he was a baby.
It's always been there.
I stayed with him the whole time.
It has been waiting to be awakened.
The Noble Phantasm itself is a permanently active "coordinate anchor point." Its very existence sends a signal—"connectability"—to the endless universe. Any universe that receives this signal has the potential to establish a connection.
Once the Noble Phantasm connects to an alternate universe, it begins to do one thing: analyze the underlying rules of that universe.
Physical laws, energy systems, causal logic, and even the existence of "gods"—all will be analyzed, dissected, and understood.
Once the analysis is complete, the Noble Phantasm can use "Starry Sky Chakra," a cosmic energy that belongs to the starry sky itself, to imitate and create the unique power system of that universe.
Chakra, Sage Mode, mental power, or anything else... anything is fine.
The way to activate this Noble Phantasm... the ultimate goal of this divine art is to bind the caster's existence to the "benevolent aspect" of the universe.
Therefore, it only needs one type of material to start.
Very simple.
Yet it is extremely precious.
Strong, positive feelings about oneself.
trust.
rely.
worship.
Love.
Those heartfelt, pure, and unreserved feelings of "wanting you to be better" represent... all the bonds.
The more, the stronger, the better.
Naruto snapped out of his reverie and looked at Satsuki again. His wife was looking up at him with her dark eyes, and deep in those eyes was a light he knew all too well.
In that light, there is trust.
There is a dependency.
There is worship.
with love.
There were many more, complex emotions that defied description, emotions unique to Uchiha Satsuki—a morbid yet intense passion.
"Satsuki," Naruto said softly. "That voice just now was confirming something."
He squeezed her hand. "It's confirming—the bond between you and me."

Thanks :) for the boss's suggestion.
