Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 335 Childhood Betrothal

"tasty!"

After tasting the food on the table, Boruto couldn't help but exclaim in genuine amazement. Naruto's "feast" was exactly what he meant—the dinner was more lavish than anyone could have imagined, with the table laden with all sorts of delicacies. The only downside was that red dishes made up half the table.

Faced with Naruto's top-notch culinary skills, Boruto can say without exaggeration that he has never tasted such delicious food, even in the most upscale restaurants in Konoha. Even tomatoes, which he doesn't usually care about, become incredibly appetizing under Naruto's skillful cooking—the half of the red dish on the table is a variety of tomato dishes.

Sasuke silently savored the vibrant red dishes on the table. Tomatoes had always been his favorite ingredient, though his daughter had once disapproved of this preference. Sasuke didn't believe Naruto had prepared these dishes specifically for him. He looked somewhat reluctantly at Satsuki, who was also enjoying her dinner across from him, and seemed to understand why the "self" in this world had developed special feelings for Naruto…

As Mikoto savored the food, she secretly worried about whether her future daughter would be a good wife. But then she thought, if Fugaku had such culinary skills, she probably wouldn't want to cook anymore.

This is precisely what Mikoto is most satisfied with about Naruto—his thoughtfulness and care for Satsuki can almost be described as excessive indulgence.

Of course, Naruto prepared food that everyone liked, but the proportion of tomatoes was particularly high because "the two Sasukes" were present. While preparing dinner, Naruto vaguely recalled a setting he had seen in Boruto—

Boruto's favorite food seems to be...

So, while everyone was enjoying the main course, Naruto went back into the kitchen. A small pot on the stove was bubbling away, and when he lifted the lid, a pungent, spicy aroma instantly filled the entire kitchen, even making his eyes sting slightly.

Naruto forced himself not to cough and carefully scooped out the special chili sauce, preparing to add it to the hamburger he was making based on his memory. He remembered that Boruto in the original story preferred strong flavors, especially hamburgers.

As Naruto carried the freshly made hamburger out of the kitchen, a strong, spicy aroma immediately filled the room. This pungent smell made Satsuki and Sasuke frown in unison—in fact, Boruto was the only one in the room who truly enjoyed such strong flavors, while Naruto wasn't picky about food.

"Try this," Naruto said, placing a specially made hamburger in front of Boruto. "Konoha doesn't sell that 'Thunder Burger' you mentioned this afternoon right now, so I tried to recreate it based on your description. See if it suits your taste?"

"Eh... then I won't be polite." Boruto was a little surprised, not expecting that Naruto would remember the food he had just casually mentioned.

He forced back the word "Dad" that almost slipped out, while at the same time feeling his taste buds being completely awakened by the enticing aroma.

Upon smelling the unfamiliar, spicy aroma, Boruto's mouth began to water involuntarily. He eagerly took a large bite, his eyes widening in surprise.

"…Delicious! A hundred times better than what you buy in stores!"

And so, Boruto tasted what was probably the most delicious hamburger of his life. He ate it with gusto, muttering indistinctly, "I can't stop eating, and I'm actually getting hungrier."

"Really? I'm glad you like it." Naruto replied with satisfaction.

Hearing Naruto's gentle voice, Boruto finally snapped out of his daze. Looking at Naruto's smiling face opposite him, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Um... thank you so much, you even cooked for me separately."

"It's alright," Naruto shook his head. "You know what? All my friends got along better and better because of things I did for them."

He continued, his eyes warm. "That's why I especially cherish everyone I can do something for. Seeing you enjoy your meal makes me especially happy too."

"Huh? Haha... Is that so?" Boruto scratched his head sheepishly, his cheeks slightly flushed.

For some reason, Boruto felt a little embarrassed after hearing Naruto's words. Naruto wondered if he had said something strange.

Just then, a cold notification sound rang in Naruto's mind.

[Note! "Boruto Uzumaki" is not a character from the main Naruto series, therefore establishing a bond with him will not earn you system points!]

This sudden notification left Naruto speechless for a moment, but he quickly dismissed it. Since the system had said so, it meant that he and Boruto had already formed a bond.

Halfway through dinner, an undercurrent of tension simmered beneath the warm atmosphere. Kushina glanced frequently at Mikoto across from her, her heart filled with both anticipation and trepidation—her best friend was about to become in-laws; what a wonderful twist of fate! Just as she hesitated whether to bring it up first, Mikoto broke the silence.

"Kushina, have you made up your mind?" Mikoto's voice was gentle yet serious. "Satsuki has absolutely no objections. But have you asked Naruto's opinion?"

"Huh? This..." Kushina blinked, slightly surprised. "Do you even need to ask? Haven't they always enjoyed spending time together?"

"...Just as I expected." Mikoto smiled knowingly. "But Naruto probably won't have any objections. So, should we talk to the children now? Although they've already made a private agreement, as their elders, we should formally settle this matter."

"What happened?" Noticing that the conversation seemed to revolve around him, Naruto put down his chopsticks and asked in confusion.

Sitting next to Mikoto, Satsuki lowered her head shyly, a faint blush rising on her cheeks. She gently tugged at her mother's sleeve and gestured towards Sasuke and Boruto with her eyes—there were still outsiders present; couldn't they wait a while before talking?

Satsuki showed a rare display of girlish shyness, but Mikoto, who knew the true identities of the two, for some reason found herself looking forward to seeing Sasuke's reaction when he heard the news.

"It's okay, Satsuki, don't worry about it." Mikoto patted her daughter's hand, her tone reassuring.

"Aunt Mikoto, what exactly happened?" Naruto, who was kept in the dark, couldn't help but ask again.

"It's a very important matter," Mikoto said with a smile. "Before you were even born, Naruto, Kushina and I made a promise—if Kushina's child was a boy..."

She paused deliberately, drawing everyone's attention to what she was about to say.

"Let's arrange a marriage between our children."

"Pfft!"

"Cough cough!"

As soon as Mikoto finished speaking, Boruto couldn't help but spit out his drink, while Sasuke choked on his tea and coughed violently.

Under the questioning gazes of Satsuki and Kushina, the two people from the future simultaneously revealed expressions of utter terror, staring intently at Uchiha Mikoto, who had just uttered such a startling statement.
