[ I am thinking, maybe my story is not soo..good that not every one is liking. No one joined patreon. there are only two members. No one is willing to join for 1$ or at least free. I may not be like others.... giving 20, 30 at a time in patreon, using other people fanfic works. mine is a orginal work and a unique story,you can search..you won't find a satisfactory dominating path naruto fanfic....and getting very little support. these days i am really lacking more motivation to write more. Atleast join for 1$ tier or free in patreon....Your AUthor]
.......
Unaware of the tension going around him, Naruto is sleeping soundly. Kakashi, Sasuke, Sakura, Tazuna, and Haku exchanged glances. Haku's presence created this atmosphere, his presence had stirred suspicions.
Sasuke looking directly at Haku says, "who are you?".
"My name's Haku," came the soft reply. "I am a loyal servant of Naruto."
Kakashi raised an eyebrow, looking towards Haku. "I've known Naruto since he was a kid, and I don't recall him ever hanging out with you."
Sasuke and Sakura both nodded in agreement, the doubt clear on their faces.
Haku, simply responded, "You can ask Naruto when he wakes up. He'll vouch for me."
Kakashi glanced at Naruto, still asleep, then turned back to Haku. "For now, let's all take rest in Tazuna's house. I'll keep an eye on him, you two take rest. We will depart once Naruto recovers."
The group settled into Tazuna's house, the tension was still lingering. Kakashi carried Naruto carefully placing him on his shoulders, Haku's hands bound with rope, as they made their way inside. Nightfall came quickly, and with it, a sense of temporary peace of this tension.
As hours passed, Naruto's body healed completely, his energy restored by the power of Kurama's chakra and his own Uzumaki healing abilities.
He glanced around the room, noticing the absence of Zabuza's sword near him. His heart skipped a beat, His wanted weapon was gone.
Then, he searched Tazuna's house, scanning every corner, and every self, but no luck in finding it. There was no sign of it.
Naruto moved out of his room, there he sees.....
Naruto's eyes shifted to the sleeping forms of Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura. They were all deep in slumber. But in the corner of the room, Haku was resting, his hands and legs are tied with ropes, yet Haku is sleeping remarkably calm. A small puppy sat before him curling her tail.
Naruto's gaze moved to Haku. "Haku is calm, even in rough situations, it seems he is used to rough situations." he thought, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Looks like I made the right choice to make him my servant."
His eyes then landed on the puppy. "What's this puppy doing here?" Naruto mused. "Well, whatever."
He looked back at Kakashi, thinking of asking him about the sword, but quickly dismissed the idea. No. his chances of telling me are 50-50 and He might get suspicious of me, especially with my demonic chakra and the way i am standing out too much..., and now...asking about sword..... Best not to bring it up with him.
Then he glanced at Sasuke, the tension in his chest tightening. Ask Sasuke? That's the last thing I'll do. After I made him kneel before me, he'll never tell me anything....the chances of him telling me is 0.
His eyes shifted to Haku again, considering the possibility, but immediately stooped that idea. No. If I ask Haku, they'll only grow more suspicious of our relationship. They've already shown how little they trust Haku with their treatment to him. Besides, for my made-up story to hold up, I can't be seen interacting with him too much... not for now.
Finally, his gaze landed on Sakura. It seems my last bet is to ask Sakura... Let's get this over with.
Naruto approached her quietly, making sure not to wake anyone else. Sakura was lying on her side, her face was peaceful in her sleep. Naruto's eyes lingered for a moment, taking in her delicate features—her smooth skin, the soft curve of her lips, and the gentle rise and fall of her chest. For a 17-year-old, she's quite beautiful... small breasts but nice...BUTT.
Naruto gently tapped Sakura on the shoulder, careful not to startle her too much. "Hey, Sakura... wake up!" he whispered.
"Sakura... Sakura, wake up!" he repeated, his voice a little louder this time.
Sakura slowly stirred, her eyes blinking open. The moment she saw Naruto's face so close to hers, she froze, her mouth opening in a gasp. "A..."
Naruto's hand quickly covered her mouth, silencing her before the scream could escape. "SHHH," he whispered urgently.
Sakura's wide eyes stared at him, her body tense with confusion and fear. Her muffled voice tried to speak, but all that came out were soft, panicked sounds. "Mmmm..."
this whole scene is being watched by someone....
