***********************************
The night before had been filled with intensity, power, and revelation.
Karin had returned to Orochimaru's hideout, but she wasn't the same girl who had left. Her chakra felt deeper, darker, and far more refined. The once fiery but fragile redhead now radiated the presence of a formidable kunoichi.
Orochimaru sensed it instantly. He narrowed his serpent-like eyes, fingers steepled beneath his chin as Karin stood before him. Her posture was straighter, her smirk more confident.
And her chakra? It pulsed with something otherworldly, something like... Naruto.
"You've changed," Orochimaru hissed with a sharp-toothed smile. "And not just physically."
Karin smirked knowingly, brushing back her crimson bangs. "You always notice everything, Lord Orochimaru. But even you might struggle to grasp the full scope of what I've become."
Orochimaru's curiosity flared. That same boy again⌠Uzumaki Naruto. What kind of power does he wield to cause such a transformation in a single night?
With Karin now in capable hands, Naruto wasted no time.
In a blink, he vanished.
Using his masterful control over the Flying Thunder God technique, he reappeared right inside Konoha, his cloak fluttering with the sheer force of his chakra.
He walked with purpose, his coat fluttering. His strides were firm, his gaze unwavering. And as he approached the small garden nestled between two alleysâtheir secret meeting place, his eyes softened just slightly.
She was there, waiting, just as he knew she would be.
Sakura stood beneath the cherry blossom tree, the petals gently falling around her like nature's blessing. The pink of her hair seemed to blend with the flowers. Her eyes lit up the moment she saw him.
"My lord," She whispered, her voice soft and melodic, like a prayer to a god.
Naruto smiled slightly. "Sakura."
Without needing to be told, she dropped to her knees before him. Her head bowed low, hands placed on her thighs with perfect discipline.
She didn't care who saw them like this anymore. She had already given everythingâher pride, her body, her loyaltyâto him.
And she felt no shame. Only devotion.
Naruto looked down at her, admiring how far she had come.
"You're becoming more obedient," He said, his tone calm but full of power. "I like that."
Sakura lifted her head just enough to meet his eyes, her cheeks pink and lips curled into a small, seductive smile. "I only live to please you, my lord. That is my purpose now."
Her heart fluttered just saying those words. It made her feel so fulfilled, so deeply connected to something greater than herself.
Once, she had chased after Sasuke with blind affection.
But she had realized how small that infatuation was.
Naruto wasn't just her friend or teammate anymore.
He was everything.
He extended his hand, and she took it immediately. He pulled her up to her feet, his touch warm, commanding.
With her hands delicately wrapped around his arm, they began walking side by side through the village.
People turned to stare, whispering as they passed.Â
Sakura walked with pride at his side, ignoring the whispers. She had chosen her place, and she wouldn't trade it for anything.
As they approached Ichiraku Ramen, Naruto let out a small sigh of contentment.
"I've been craving ramen for hours," He said.
Sakura chuckled lightly, her voice tinged with flirtation. "If it were up to me, I'd serve you something more⌠satisfying."
Naruto raised an eyebrow, smirking at her boldness. "Oh? And what would that be?"
Her lips curled.
"The beast hiding in your pants," She whispered, her voice dripping with teasing heat.
Naruto paused at the curtain of Ichiraku, chuckling as he looked down at her.
"You're getting bolder."
Sakura grinned. "Only because I know it pleases you."
They stepped inside, greeted instantly by Teuchi with his usual warmth. "Naruto! Haven't seen you around in a while! The usual?"
"Yeah," Naruto said with a nod. "And make it two."
Sakura sat beside him, hands folded on the counter like a good kunoichiâyet every now and then, she let her thigh brush against his, just enough to draw his attention.
Inside, she was buzzing with anticipation. Just being close to him made her heart race. She loved these quiet moments, when she could simply exist at his side and know that she belonged to him.
Their bowls arrived, steaming and delicious.
Naruto slurped the noodles with satisfaction, while Sakura gently picked at hers, spending more time gazing at him than eating. Her mind was full of thoughtsâmemories of the night he claimed her, of the way his hands had roamed her body, of how he made her feel like a woman for the first time.
Her cheeks grew warmer, and she bit her bottom lip.
"My lord," She said softly, "may I ask you something?"
Naruto glanced sideways at her. "What is it?"
"Do you think I've... truly become someone worthy of you?"
Naruto set down his chopsticks and turned fully to face her. He didn't answer right away. His eyes searched hersâdeep, intense, almost devouring. Then, he reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.
"You've come far," He said. "But don't stop. Keep growing. Become stronger. More loyal. More beautiful. I want the whole world to see what kind of woman I've made you."
Sakura trembled under his praise. It wasn't just his wordsâit was the way he looked at her, as if she were something precious. She bowed her head again, lips trembling.
"I promise⌠I will not disappoint you."
Naruto returned to his ramen, satisfied. Moments like this confirmed what he already knewâshe was his, mind, body, and soul.
And soon, she would prove it.
"By the way," Naruto said, his voice suddenly serious. "The Chuunin Exams are approaching. The village will soon undergo a change."
Sakura's eyes lit up with excitement. "A change?"
Naruto nodded slowly. "Yes. A shift in power. Konoha has been too complacent. It needs new leadership⌠someone strong, someone decisive... The exams will mark the beginning."
He looked at her again. "I need you ready. Fully ready. To fight. To obey. To conquer, if I ask it."
Sakura didn't hesitate. She straightened, her eyes shining with fierce devotion.
"I already made all the preparations. I'm ready for anything you command, Lord Naruto. Just say the word⌠and I'll crush anyone who stands in your way."
Her words were like music to him.
This wasn't the insecure girl who once cried over Sasuke.
No⌠this was a woman. His woman.
When they finished their food, Naruto placed a few coins on the counter and stood.
Sakura followed immediately, fixing her skirt and adjusting the headband she now wore proudly, not just as a Konoha kunoichi, but as Naruto's possession.
Outside, the sky had shifted to hues of gold and violet.Â
Sakura leaned close, her voice barely a whisper. "Do you want to go somewhere private?"
Naruto glanced at her with that familiar smirk. "You're insatiable."
She purred. "Only for you."
They walked together through the silent streets of Konoha, the breeze carrying petals through the air.
