Chapter 161:
After the movie ended, Naruto felt completely satisfied.
"Little Sakyo, let's call it a day?"
Naruto looked at Sakyo beside him, feeling immense joy in his heart.
Sakyo had finally agreed to wear cute female clothing—just look at that delicate little face and the absolutely perfect figure for her current age. So wonderful~
After what happened with Little Black, Sakyo had actually lost interest in continuing to play.
She parted her tender lips, let out a long breath, and agreed to Naruto's suggestion: "The nearest inn shouldn't be far… hm?"
While Sakyo was speaking, Naruto had already begun forming seals.
"Amenominaka!"
…
In My World, the figures of Naruto, Sakyo, and Little Black appeared.
In the distant sky, clusters of light orbs still gathered.
These were the light orbs Naruto had created to serve as the "sun" when he made the world.
With the sky so bright, how could anyone sleep?
Naruto waved his hand. Chakra acted in a mysterious way—strange, continuous gravitational forces formed near the light orbs, pulling toward the center.
The freshwater below was drawn upward. Tiny droplets floated into the air, eventually gathering into a massive, suspended sphere of water hanging in midair.
The size of this water ball was just right to completely cover the light source.
Plus, Naruto had intentionally reduced the number of light sources, so the entire sky instantly dimmed.
Soft reflections from the rippling water slowly covered the whole land, making it look as if the land existed underwater—extremely strange and beautiful.
"Alright, now we can sleep comfortably."
As he spoke, Naruto suddenly frowned and adjusted the temperature here to the most ideal for sleeping:
A refreshing coolness washed over them. Naruto couldn't help praising his own creation: "Mm~ Perfect!"
"But… humidity needs adjusting too. Otherwise sleeping will feel damp and uncomfortable~"
After a few minutes of busy work, Naruto finally finished modifying the entire My World space.
Sakyo stared in shock at Naruto's operations and couldn't help asking: "You… just for sleeping… did you really need to waste so much chakra?"
Sakyo could sense that Naruto's earlier actions had consumed a tremendous amount of chakra.
If it were her, even squeezing every last drop from her body wouldn't be enough!
But… after using so much chakra, Naruto's aura remained steady—he looked completely unaffected?
Seeing Sakyo staring blankly at him with that dazed expression, Naruto instantly found her incredibly adorable~
He reached out and gently scraped the tip of Sakyo's small nose, saying softly: "It's no big deal. Come on~ Let's sleep."
Sakyo felt a sudden wave of shyness from Naruto's unexpectedly intimate action, but before she could fully process it, Naruto bent down and scooped her up entirely.
Mm… princess carry.
Naruto didn't feel Sakyo's weight at all. He only felt like he was holding a fragrant, soft, adorable little girl—small and incredibly cute.
"Ah?" Sakyo couldn't help exclaiming. She reminded Naruto: "Naruto… Little Black is still here, don't…"
Naruto grinned: "Don't worry, I'm not doing anything. I'm already exhausted today."
"And… I'm also afraid that if I let myself go too much, I won't be able to hold back and just 'eat' you completely."
"Then I'd be no different from Mizunaka, right?"
The usually "impatient" Naruto actually spoke such self-restrained words, greatly surprising Sakyo.
Then she understood—this was Naruto considering both their ages. If they did anything excessive at Sakyo's current age, it wouldn't just affect her physically; psychologically it wouldn't be easy either.
You had to know—while kids here matured early, they still didn't do anything out of line before a certain age.
For example, the legendary flirt master Namikaze Minato had charmed Kushina when he was even younger than Naruto, but waited until long after the ninja war ended before Naruto was born.
"Mm…"
A sweet, warm feeling filled Sakyo's heart. Since that day, she hadn't felt this kind of satisfaction and happiness for a long time.
But there was one thing Sakyo had to remind Naruto about.
Sakyo wrapped her arms around Naruto's back, her small face pressed tightly against his thumping chest, and said: "Don't forget about Little Black's issue!"
Reminded by Sakyo, Naruto snapped back to reality.
He turned while still holding her and said to Little Black: "Um, Little Black."
Little Black obediently walked over, but Naruto noticed her gaze and expression were somewhat dazed.
Naruto immediately chuckled: "Little Black, I'm not going to blame you."
"That kind of person—dead is dead. Don't take it to heart."
"But next time, don't be so impulsive. What if the other party didn't have bad intentions? Wouldn't that mean you killed the wrong person?"
Naruto thought Little Black was in a bad mood because of Mizunaka, so he comforted her while also reminding her not to act so rashly in the future.
"Oh~~~"
Little Black lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly. She let out a small "oh" and said nothing more.
Naruto sighed, thinking the killing had affected Little Black psychologically. He said: "Little Black, don't overthink it. He was a bad person. He deserved to die."
"He already profited massively by living this long before you killed him."
"Alright, go sleep peacefully. Your room is one I personally set up for you."
"If there's anything you don't like, just tell me directly."
When Naruto created the living spaces in My World, time was short, so later he added more details.
This included setting up rooms for Naruto and Sakyo… and one for Little Black.
Wait… why say "rooms for Naruto and Sakyo"?
Because Naruto only prepared two bedrooms. The purpose was~~
Little Black obeyed quietly and nodded, walking toward the house.
Neither Naruto nor Sakyo noticed that as Little Black passed Naruto, she secretly glanced at both of them from the corner of her eye.
A stifling, blocked feeling rose in Little Black's heart. She desperately wanted to take Sakyo's place—to be the one lying in Naruto's arms.
That feeling… Little Black could only imagine as happiness.
Loss… an indescribable feeling. In short, she felt powerless. She wanted to receive Naruto's embrace like the main body did—even just for a little while would be enough.
Little Black couldn't describe her own state. In short, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Her own inner thoughts—even she couldn't tell if they were real or fake, and she didn't dare believe them.
Because Little Black possessed part of Sakyo's memories.
She knew Sakyo would absolutely never allow anyone to "share" Naruto with her.
In a daze, led by Naruto to a room door, Little Black was finally jolted awake by his words.
"Little Black, this is your room. Rest well."
After saying that, Naruto carried Sakyo and turned to enter the bedroom next door.
