With the conversation going on, time passed by quickly till we reached my home. We then sat in the living room, and I offered Sakura some tea.
The atmosphere was kind of weird since no one talked first. Sakura was gazing at the cup while fidgeting with her finger.
I didn't remember her fidgeting this much in the series, but maybe that was because I didn't like her character much. I found her obsession with Sasuke and blatant disregard for Naruto in the first arc annoying.
But funnily enough, that obsession was what I wanted to benefit from to enjoy my new life here.
"You know, if you change your mind, it's fine. You can return after you finish the tea," I said with a cold tone, pushing her to make a decision.
Her fidgeting stopped, and she looked up at me, gazing deeply, seemingly trying to think about my thoughts on this. Her reaction surprised me since I thought she was too infatuated to even think about this.
"Mm… Haruto, I don't mind satisfying your curiosity, but we need to set some limitations. I mean, I know what could happen afterward, and we should only do that if we are married."
I blinked my eyes a few times and then realized what she meant. Konoha was like feudal Japan in culture, with strangely modern touches left and right. This meant their view on sex and marriage should also be the same.
But there was no way I conformed to this idea. I had already decided to enjoy this life to the fullest, now that I had the strength to achieve it.
Not just the Uchiha bloodline but also my knowledge of what would happen. Even though some things have changed, Kaguya should still exist here. The same is true for Madara, Obito, and Zetsu.
There was also the Hokage corpse. Although this might change since Kushina was still alive and had become the Fifth Kage, she probably did her best to track down her husband's body.
But that was for me to think about later. Right now, my focus is to enjoy myself. I stood up and then moved behind Sakura. "Then do you want to become my woman?"
"A-Are you serious, Haruto?"
"Would I ask you this if I didn't find you attractive? But there is one thing you need to accept."
"What is it?" Sakura turned her face, looking at me.
Our eyes met, and the distance between us was only inches away. I could feel her warm breath and the pleasant smell of cherry blossoms.
I put my hand on her cheek, then said, "You will not be the only one."
Sakura seemed shocked by my words. I knew I could lie to her to get what I wanted for sure, but I just felt it was too annoying to do.
I also needed to look for allies to achieve what I wanted to do, and Sakura was a good candidate since she was infatuated with me. If she found out I lied to her, who knows what would happen in the future.
Jealousy was scary; I knew that firsthand in my last life.
"Does it mean you have other girls you like more?" Sakura asked in a sad tone.
"I don't right now, but I know for sure I will have more than one."
This time, I lied. I already had an interest in some women, like Satsuki, Hinata, Shizune, Tsunade, Kurenai, and Konan. I just felt they deserved better endings, not ones with sadness.
There was also Kushina. As a widow, I should have some chances despite our age difference. I should be able to make her look at me in a different light with the knowledge I had.
And who knew which woman I would meet that interested me. Seeing them in reality just made me realize how beautiful they were.
Sakura seemed to hesitate with my answer. She looked confused, not knowing what to do.
"If that even matters, though, Sakura. Isn't it important to stay together with me? Or were your feelings so far a lie?"
"N-no! I really like you, Haruto."
"Then why are you so confused?"
I then took this moment to cloud her judgment with an emotional outburst. I moved closer and pressed my lips against hers.
It was soft and sweet. I then put my hand on her back and pushed her closer to me. There was no resistance; she was probably caught off guard and shocked by the turn of events.
Her petite body felt soft and warm. I pushed my tongue in and started entangling it with hers.
The taste was addicting.
At first, Sakura was passive; she didn't make any moves. But after some minutes passed, she started getting engrossed in the kissing.
Her tongue started moving, embracing mine, greedily sucking at me. I haven't made any further moves yet. I let her enjoy my embrace and the kiss.
The clock kept ticking. Then I pulled away, looking at her flustered face.
"How is it?" I asked while licking my lips of her leftover saliva.
"I…" Sakura hesitated to say it with words, but I pushed her for it.
"Tell me how it felt to kiss someone you like."
"It-it's good."
"Do you want more?"
"Ye-yes."
I then put my hand on her cheek, caressing her smooth, supple skin. "Then do you agree to become my woman?"
The hesitation she had before seemed to have disappeared. She was overwhelmed by the pleasure and the atmosphere.
"Yesss… honestly, I'm still confused about what you mean by other women, but if that makes you happy. Just promise me, Haruto, you will always stay by my side."
"Of course, my dear Sakura." I then continued in my mind, 'It's not like we will get married quickly. I have time to turn you into my ideal woman. I also need to make you stronger.'
Following the normal progression, Sakura would inherit Tsunade's ability, but that was nowhere close to Naruto and Sasuke's Six Paths power.
There was also the Ootsutsuki. Even though many things had changed, this didn't mean they didn't exist. I did wonder if their strength was as crazy as those fan-made sequels. If it was, I needed to prepare to fight against them.
Kaguya was nothing more than my stepping stone. In fact, I would try to look for a way to capture her.
Sakura replied with a nod. She then pressed her lips against mine again, now taking the initiative.
