RNP Chapter 598 Departure
Chapter 598 Departure
When the two woke up, it was completely dark. Not a sliver of moonlight could seep through the gaps in the curtains, and the whole room was as dark as if it had been enclosed in a sealed box.
Naruto groggily opened his eyes and looked at the clock on the wall. It was 8:47 PM. He had been sleeping for almost six hours since 2 PM.
Strangely, he didn't feel that unbearable anxiety. He looked down at his chest; Zuo Yue was still there. Her face was pressed against his chest, her breathing steady and long, her warm breath brushing against his skin, like a quiet little animal curled up in his arms.
If a person sleeps in the afternoon and doesn't wake up until dusk or night, they will experience a particularly negative and uncomfortable feeling.
One theory suggests that ancient humans would return to their settlements in groups at dusk, a habit ingrained in their genes.
Feeling unwell upon waking in the evening is because the genes perceive that the individual has been abandoned by their peers. The solution is to wake up with your peers nearby, such as taking a nap in a school dormitory, but there are even better ways.
Looking at the soft, beautiful body in her arms, that feeling of negativity never arose from the beginning.
Next, they spent the rest of their rest time. After they both woke up, they went to the restaurant for dinner. The restaurant served expensive tuna belly sushi that evening; the fish was an almost transparent pink color, covered with fine marbling.
Satsuki ate quite a lot, plate after plate. Unfortunately, Naruto didn't like raw food, so he only tried a small piece and gave the rest to Satsuki. In the end, he ordered a bowl of grilled beef rice bowl for himself. It was hot and warmed him from his stomach to his toes.
Back in the room, Naruto immediately started demanding payment—regarding the afternoon's debt. Not really demanding payment, but rather a kind of "debt collection" that only the two of them would understand.
After sleeping all afternoon, the two couldn't fall asleep for a while, so Satsuki immediately satisfied Naruto's desires and began to enjoy the happiness that only partners can have.
She naturally added the clothes she bought from the shop owner to her collection, those few pieces that she picked out, tried on in front of the mirror, and blushed as she confirmed, "This one is okay."
After the initial intense activity ended, both of them felt completely drained, lying limply on the sheets, neither wanting to move.
After a while, Naruto sat up first, then pulled Satsuki out of bed, and the two of them went into the bathroom and soaked in the large wooden bathtub.
Hot water reached their chests, and rising steam blurred the outlines of the two people.
Because of the rain, they couldn't soak in the open-air hot spring, but the two of them had already soaked enough. They had soaked several times since yesterday, and their skin was smooth and soft. Naruto leaned against the edge of the bathtub, watching the marks on Sasuke's neck and collarbone turn a faint pink in the hot water.
After washing up, the two went back to bed, turned on the TV, and started watching a movie. Naturally, they watched the sequel to *Jurassic Park*. In the movie, the dinosaurs were chasing humans, but Satsuki and Naruto found it hard to get into the thrill, so they watched the sequel like a popcorn movie, making sarcastic comments as they watched.
After the movie ended, the two lingered for a while. Naruto pulled Satsuki into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, his fingers gently stroking her arm. Satsuki leaned against his chest, listening to his heartbeat, her body slowly relaxing.
After waiting their turn, they switched to another movie and lingered for a while longer. This cycle repeated itself. Then, things escalated uncontrollably; there was no way around it, the temperature gradually rose until it reached a critical point, at which point the invisible string snapped, and the two of them were glued together again.
Maintaining this routine—watching movies, being affectionate, and accidentally getting carried away—the two stayed up until after 5 a.m., when it was already getting light.
Outside the window, it was no longer pitch black, but tinged with a faint grayish-white light. Neither of them had the strength to do anything else; even speaking felt like a struggle. Naruto reached out and pulled Satsuki into his arms, and Satsuki obediently leaned against him. Their consciousness began to blur, and they slowly drifted off to sleep.
When I woke up, it was fully light, the rain had stopped, and it was one o'clock in the afternoon.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting dazzling golden-white streaks on the white wall. Naruto didn't wake Satsuki; he simply lay there quietly, watching her, waiting for her to wake up on her own.
It had been an hour and a half since check-out time, but the hotel receptionist hadn't urged them. After lunch, the two packed their things and left amidst the nostalgic glances of the hot spring owners.
As VIP cardholders visiting for the first time, the proprietress immediately guessed that the two were likely from that clothing store.
Young, the man handsome, the woman beautiful—the boss was simply reminiscing about his own youth, when his hair hadn't yet fallen out. The boss's wife noticed, however, that the two spent most of their time in their room. Youth is truly amazing…
The two felt completely transformed. All three of humanity's greatest desires had been fulfilled.
That sense of satisfaction felt like a tripod, each leg firmly planted. Now, let's continue our journey! Naruto held Satsuki's hand as they stood on the steps of the inn.
The goal is—to see the real Naruko Uzumaki!
This time, Satsuki began to experiment. She imbued the Amaterasu Flame with the Yin Release chakra that could traverse time and space. The black flames danced at her fingertips, enveloped in a silvery-gray light, emitting a faint glow, like that of a bioluminescent creature from the deep sea.
"Using [Amaterasu] to modify [Setsuna]? What are you doing...?" Naruto asked.
"Found it!" Zuo Yue exclaimed happily, gently flicking her finger across the ball of energy. "I've modified the target. Originally, [Instantly] was a random journey through worlds, but I've set a target, so now I can travel to the world I've chosen."
"Which world did Satsuki create?"
"The condition is that Naruto Uzumaki lives entirely in a world where he is a girl."
Just as Naruto had expected. Seeing Satsuki's excited expression, Naruto could only suppress his own embarrassment at seeing his female version of himself...
But Naruto suddenly had a strange sense of déjà vu. Were the two of them traveling through a parallel universe? Rick and Morty? He almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The next moment, Yin Release chakra completely enveloped their bodies. It seeped in through every pore of their skin and permeated every crevice of their bones. Satsuki excitedly manipulated that power, flicking his fingers lightly in the air.
"call out--"
A soft sound. The two people vanished. One second they were on the steps in front of the hotel, the next they were gone, leaving only the damp stone path after the rain and the warm sunlight filtering through the clouds.
