    No one spoke, which only made the atmosphere more ambiguous. Sakura could almost feel her nervousness spreading around her.


    The warm firelight remained steady, and Sakura held her hands toward the flames, feeling the heat as random thoughts swirled in her mind, making her face flush even more.


    She was actually a bit worried since she had never experienced such things before. But she still wanted to give herself to him, even if not entirely, at least half of herself would be fine.


    Girls her age all seemed to have something to rely on, but Sakura didn’t. If Naruto Naruto ever stopped caring about her, she would leave nothing behind in this world.


    Her memories would return to her main personality, her consciousness would merge back, and it wouldn’t be much different from dying.


    The night sky above was pitch black, like a massive onyx stone, a large bowl overturned, equally watching over everyone.


    "Naruto," She suddenly called him.


    "Hmm?"


    "Do you think… this means we’re together?"


    Naruto didn''t say anything. He had never really been with anyone before. He’d never clarified relationships. It was considered companionship. He had done things couples did, but he had never said anything like being officially together.


    A large space in his heart has always been reserved for Ino and Hinata. The unique summers he had spent with Ino and the warm winters with Hinata had filled much of his thoughts.


    In early spring and late autumn, he only cared about the feelings of the two women. Was he a scumbag? Of course. As he had been moved by Tayuya too, and had even liked her.


    But whether it was Koyuki, Anko, Tayuya, or Temari, they can only occupy a small place in his heart. Sakura, having shared more experiences with him, held a slightly bigger place.


    Seeing that Naruto didn''t say anything, Sakura smiled softly. Although she was smiling, there was no trace of happiness in her eyes. She tilted her head back slightly, blinking away the tears.


    If it was someone else, they might have already been crying by now, but not Sakura. With her personality, she would hold back her tears, reining in her emotions just as they were about to surface. Sёarch* The N?velFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "You''re different. We''ve been together for a long time now." Naruto’s gaze was bright as he spoke.


    For some reason, but it wasn’t out of pity. Naruto had simply said it. Maybe it was the truth, maybe he didn’t want to deceive to himself, or maybe he had started caring for Dark Sakura too.


    "Since you’ve said it, I’ll believe you." Sakura said with a smile.


    Naruto didn’t deny it. Once spoken, his words wouldn’t be taken back. The future had already changed beyond recognition over these past six years, and he could no longer see where the future was heading.


    But he had a feeling that, if he didn’t give up on Dark Sakura now, she wouldn’t give up on him in the future. Fate was mysterious and unpredictable, and nobody could predict it.


    Perhaps due to her time spent learning under Tsunade, Sakura wasn’t immature. She possessed a boldness and maturity beyond her years, and a certain allure that other girls her age lacked.


    Simply put, she had the aura of a wife, which is a mysterious and hard-to-define quality. But not every wife has it, and not everyone with that aura is a wife.


    True maturity is about elegance and allure without vulgarity, it’s the soul of that charm.


    For example, a beautiful young woman looks coldly at others, but shows her shows tenderness and allure only to you, like a delicate rose waiting to bloom. Even opening her mouth and sticking out her tongue can be enticing.


    Perhaps it was from spending so much time with Tsunade, but when Sakura smiled now, there was a natural elegance and allure to it.


    Naruto smiled along with her, but then he quickly realized something wasn’t right.


    Normally, she didn’t smile like that. When Naruto looked up at Sakura again, he noticed the deep affection in her eyes and instantly understood what was going on.


    ‘Everything tonight would happen naturally, though what tomorrow held was uncertain.’


    It wasn’t nervousness exactly, as Naruto wasn’t inexperienced. He had once shared an intimate moment with Tayuya, though unfortunately, Tayuya hadn’t been able to keep up with him.


    In fact, there wasn’t much to feel from that experience. Tayuya had faded too quickly, and Naruto had felt more like a tool. It wasn’t really his fault. This is either his natural talent or Tayuya is too weak.


    After all, it had been Tayuya''s first time too. Despite her best effort, it always ended quickly for her. If we were to use an analogy, it would be several times in just a few seconds.


    The world is big, so it is understandable that such individual cases occur.


    Now, Naruto felt a bit uncertain. If Sakura ended up being like Tayuya, then it was confirmed that he was ‘gifted’. But honestly, that wasn’t exactly a good thing.


    The law of nature don’t allow for too much indulgence, and those who overstep are often struck down.


    He could still vaguely remember the old Xianxia Novels he had read before crossing into this world. The scenes were more fierce than the last. If such ‘harmonious beast’ really exists, they would surely bring destruction and rule the world forever.


    Despite these swirling thoughts, only a moment had passed in reality.


    "Do I need to lie to you?" Naruto replied.


    Hearing this, Sakura pressed her lips together and smiled, lowering her head slightly before continuing.


    "In fact, sometimes I think about how nice it would be if it were just the two of us alone. But whenever the opportunity comes, the timing never seems right."


    "You don’t have me in your heart. Even if we’re standing close to each other, it doesn’t mean anything."


    "Sakura-san, what you said is a bit absurd." Naruto interrupted her and said seriously, "Don’t you realize what we’ve been through? How many times was the water you gave me really clean?"


    "And…"


    "Alright, I admit I made mistakes too." Sakura said, slightly embarrassed as she half-covered her face, "That’s on me, but I stopped doing those things afterward."


    " You’ve never heard the saying, ‘Once bitten, twice shy’? It takes time to heal from the shadows left behind." He said, "Besides, back then, you..."


    Seeing that Naruto was about to complain again, Sakura quickly reached out to interrupt him.


    "Stop talking."


    "Why can’t I talk about it?" Naruto was surprised. "You did those things, but I can’t even mention them?"


    "No, you can’t!" Sakura pouted and said, "Back then, in the summer when I wore a skirt, you were always staring. Always focused on my legs. Every time I wore black stockings, you got excited, or..."


    "Cough, there''s no need to talk about the past." Naruto awkwardly cut her off, clearly uncomfortable.


    When it came to figure, no one could compare to Hinata, but in terms of feet, Ino had the edge. As for leg shape, Sakura was unmatched, especially with black stockings wrapped around her legs, it was an allure that was hard to resist.


    ‘Hmph, men.’ Sakura sneered in her heart, though she knew there was nothing she could do about this rascal.


    "In fact, every time I pretended not to care, I secretly wanted to go shopping with you openly, wearing pretty clothes." She continued, though her gaze remained fixed on the fire.


    "In the summer, we could be together, and in the winter too. We could do boring things, and even if we were wasting time, it would still be meaningful… building snowmen, basking in the sun."


    "I’ve dreamed of living that kind of life, but I know it’s impossible. You have Ino and Hinata, and they’ll accompany you do those things."


    "Uzumaki Naruto, you’re really a scumbag."


    "But even if I wanted you to be a scumbag, I can’t. I can’t always be with you. Maybe next time, or someday, it’ll suddenly end with nothing."


    "I can’t do it, so I won’t force you either."


    Sakura raised her head and smiled at Naruto. The firelight danced in her eyes, reflecting his face with a deep, emotional gaze.


    Although her tone was cheerful, it was as if she was saying, ‘Next time, you might not see me again.’


    Naruto was clearly taken aback for a moment, his gaze toward Sakura becoming slightly more complicated.
