“What’s more, with such powerful strength, Sakura and the others can be considered safe!” Sai thought, comforting himself. Just like how he had suffered many setbacks and pains in Konoha’s Root, the existence of Konoha itself had also provided sufficient shelter for orphans like them.
And now.
It was merely a change of shelter.
Sai wasn’t as hot-blooded as Naruto. Although he had regained many emotions, these emotions were reserved for a few companions and didn’t extend to more people.
What’s more.
In Sai’s heart, besides the desire to protect Sakura and Naruto, which supported his act of surrender, there were also some unrealistic thoughts deep down. That was, in this timeline, if it was truly just a parallel timeline and not a changed one.
“Then, can I also change the tragic ending of myself and my older brother in this timeline?!” Sai thought about his training in Root. As brothers, only one of them was allowed to survive, and they had to engage in a life-or-death duel to complete the Root assessment.
Such a thing.
If he had this adult in front of him as his backing, wouldn’t he have the chance to change the future!
Thinking of this, he immediately lost all loyalty to Konoha.
Sai naturally lost all loyalty to Konoha, leaving only the desire to earn rewards for his achievements to improve himself and thus change his and his brother’s destiny in this timeline.
Uchiha Tenxiu smiled, a flash of satisfaction in his heart. Although these thoughts of the other party had appeared after his guidance, they had achieved their purpose.
From now on, Sai would be an excellent pawn in his hands!
Then, Uchiha Tenxiu specifically looked at Sakura Haruno, beckoned with his finger, and continued, “This control ability is like a net, all-pervasive. I have meticulously set up rules to prevent betrayal within it. You must not try to defy them easily, because when you trigger these rules, I will definitely receive feedback. Even normally, as long as I need to, I can control all your actions at any time.” Sakura Haruno, whose body was controlled, walked like a puppet in front of Uchiha Tenxiu, gently hooked his arm, and charmingly displayed herself. Under her furious gaze, Uchiha Tenxiu laughed happily, looking at Sakura Haruno playfully.
“Damn it, why am I doing this?” Sakura Haruno’s heart was filled with panic and confusion. She couldn’t understand why she was behaving so disgracefully. Her body seemed to be no longer under her control, as if an invisible force was manipulating her. Her body and arms moved involuntarily.
She held Uchiha Tenxiu’s arm to her chest and nestled beside Uchiha Tenxiu.
This, this.
This is too lewd!
My body.
My body is out of control.
Damn it, damn it!
Sakura Haruno screamed wildly in her heart. Despite her extreme unwillingness, she was unable to control her body.
“Is this really that shameless pretty boy’s control ability? Yes, he said it so simply, it seems his control ability is indeed as strong as he said!” A thought suddenly flashed through Sakura Haruno’s mind, causing her to widen her eyes and stare intently at Uchiha Tenxiu in front of her.
When she saw the smug smile on the man’s face, it made her feel even more furious and ashamed.
Bastard.
How dare he treat me like this!
“Is this your method! Do you only bully girls! You shameless guy!” Sakura Haruno said through gritted teeth, her voice trembling with anger.
Her flushed face was not only from anger but also from an uncontrollable shyness, a feeling she had never experienced before.
Uchiha Tenxiu also looked at her and spoke.
“Shameless? This is your punishment. If you truly surrendered, I wouldn’t do this!”
“As for what some people are thinking, going back to Konoha and finding someone to break my Ninjutsu, and then falsely surrendering orally to deceive people, that’s simply wishful thinking!”
Uchiha Tenxiu said to her, his words like a sharp sword piercing Sakura Haruno’s heart. Her heart jolted, and she immediately widened her eyes in disbelief.
“You, how do you know…”
“With Konoha’s capabilities, even if you give them a few hundred years, they won’t be able to find a way to break it. It’s useless for you to try to find a solution from Konoha!” Uchiha Tenxiu continued, his tone full of confidence and disdain. Hearing this, Sakura Haruno’s face turned green and red, and her heart was enveloped by a deep sorrow. She couldn’t help but think, “Damn it, this control method can really listen to inner thoughts as he said. What kind of bastardly method is this? In this case, won’t I have to obey this bastard pretty boy’s control forever?”
Sakura Haruno’s heart was filled with despair, and she didn’t know how to break free from this terrifying control.
Her future seemed to be firmly in Uchiha Tenxiu’s hands, and she was powerless.
“Wait, bastard pretty boy? It seems you’re quite bold! Is it because you know you won’t die, so you’re deliberately being presumptuous! It seems a punishment is in order!” Uchiha Tenxiu feigned anger as he looked at Sakura Haruno in front of him, pinching her chin with one hand and wrapping the other around her waist. In her startled eyes, he lowered his head slightly and pecked her fiercely.
For a moment.
Sakura Haruno’s brain went blank.
This!
Was she, was she kissed!
Sasuke!
I’m sorry!
A moment later.
“Hmm, very fragrant lipstick!” Uchiha Tenxiu left the girl’s red lips with satisfaction, praising, “As expected of the female lead, from today onwards, you are my number one collection. Don’t worry, follow me, and your future will be better!”
No matter what, for Uchiha Tenxiu, there was no way he would let go of the female lead from the original plot!
The sheer amount of luck she brought alone was a massive harvest.
Not to mention.
She herself was an extremely talented individual.
Even the pure and untainted Uchiha Tenxiu had to reluctantly accept her for the sake of his future great endeavors.
And on the other side.
“You, you, how could you do this!…” Sakura Haruno pointed at Uchiha Tenxiu, tears in her eyes, her words broken and incoherent.
After a long period of confusion, Sakura Haruno finally came to her senses. An indescribable feeling of shame instantly surged through her body, making her skin flush like it had been steamed. The second personality that had been dormant in her heart for a long time immediately revived, “Damn it! You damn bastard, you damn guy, how dare you treat me so lightly, I’ll kill you…”
Not to mention Sakura Haruno’s inner second personality, who was furiously cursing Uchiha Tenxiu while waving her fists.
Uchiha Tenxiu actively blocked her thoughts and then looked at Sai, who was standing still with his head bowed, and gave him instructions.
“Sai, next, I want you to take Uzumaki Naruto back to Konoha and send him to Root!” Uchiha Tenxiu looked at Sai and made arrangements for him.
With Minato Namikaze’s escape and Yamato being sent away.
Mount Myōboku in this world had actually discovered something amiss. Due to the outcome of his battle with Minato Namikaze, he would inevitably fall into the other party’s sight.
It is estimated that, next, after Minato Namikaze returns to Konoha, he will bring Konoha’s elite to seek revenge. It is uncertain how long this revenge will take, but when he comes for revenge, there will definitely be a hidden scheme from Mount Myōboku behind him.
It is very likely that the other party will choose a deus ex machina.
Here, it must be mentioned.
As the original prophesied child, Naruto had not yet been born, but there was a prophesied child from a different timeline.
Relying on Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze from Mount Myōboku, whether the former was for prophecy or the latter was for the identity of Uzumaki Naruto, they would definitely bring Konoha to cause trouble. And in a short period of time, he had not yet completed his initial harvest in this world, so he did not want to get entangled with the other party in a short time and attract the attention of their backer.
Whether it was the Tailed Beasts or harvesting Chakra, he was extremely busy and needed a lot of time.
To avoid the other party coming to him proactively.
He might as well release some things.
Let Konoha fight among themselves first.
