The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 590 Xiao Nan... I'm coming in!

Xiao Nan was left alone in the palace, and it instantly became exceptionally quiet.

She slowly walked to the bathroom door. The bathroom was spacious and bright, and the bathtub was filled with warm water. A few pink petals floated on the surface of the water, emitting a faint floral fragrance that made her feel relaxed.

On the shelf next to it were soft towels, exquisite toiletries, and a bottle of light-colored bath gel with a delicate texture and a faint floral scent. Everything was provided, clearly indicating that it had been carefully prepared.

Xiao Nan slowly removed her clothes, which were covered in dust and blood. The clothes still smelled of blood from the battlefield, making her frown.

She placed her clothes in a basket to the side and slowly walked into the bath.

The warm water enveloped her body, instantly dispelling her fatigue and chill, and washing away the dirt and bloodstains, allowing her tense body to gradually relax.

She closed her eyes, letting the water flow gently over her body, making her more awake.

This is not a dream; Nagato and Yahiko have already left...

The battlefield from just now flashed through my mind, along with the images of the dead ninjas, Nagato and Yahiko's departing figures, and the Infinite Tsukuyomi... that illusory yet warm world...

In that world, there was no war... the common people were all happy... but she became a puppet...

Thinking of this, she felt a pang of sadness and her eyes reddened slightly.

After washing up, Xiao Nan came out of the bathtub, picked up a soft towel from the shelf, and gently dried her body.

Next, she walked to the locker next to her, her eyes slowly sweeping over the brand-new clothes, and finally chose an elegant blue dress.

The long dress was made of soft, fine silk fabric. It clung to her body, smooth and comfortable, and accentuated her slender figure with exquisite elegance.

Her previously slightly haggard face became fair and radiant after being washed with water. The coolness in her eyes softened, making her look gentle and charming.

She walked to the bronze mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, and her eyes flashed with confusion.

The woman in the mirror, wearing a blue dress, has delicate features and exudes the gentleness of a mature woman; she has changed quite a bit from her former self.

She walked to the window, gently pushed it open, and the evening breeze, carrying the fragrance of flowers from the courtyard, slowly blew in.

The fragrance of flowers in the wind carried a hint of coolness, dispelling some of the worries in my heart.

She looked at the exotic flowers and plants in the courtyard, still feeling somewhat dazed. Before she could calm herself down or sort out her thoughts, the palace gate was gently pushed open.

The three peaks of the Uchiha clan exuded a powerful aura, making the atmosphere in the entire room heavy and tense.

He was still wearing that black robe, and his chakra remained steady and powerful. However, the golden Rinnegan between his eyebrows had softened its light, no longer as majestic and cold as it had been on the battlefield. His gaze fell on Konan, filled with undisguised admiration and deep affection, as if he wanted to imprint Konan's image deep in his heart.

Uchiha Mitsunori slowly walked up to Konan, his eyes filled with a possessive desire that seemed determined to win her over.

He reached out and brushed Xiao Nan's hair, his words tinged with a hint of uncertainty: "Xiao Nan, you look much prettier in this outfit."

Xiao Nan stiffened, her body tensed, and she took a small step back to avoid his touch.

A hint of wariness and distance flashed in her eyes as she slowly turned around to meet his gaze.

She knew all along that the Uchiha Mitsunori wouldn't let her off so easily.

After a moment of silence, she slightly raised her head: "Lord Sanfeng, there are countless beauties in the world, many more beautiful and powerful than me. Why did you choose me?"

Uchiha Mitsunori leaned slightly closer to Konan, his warm breath brushing against her cheek, causing her to tremble slightly.

He gently lifted Xiao Nan's chin, forcing her to look at him: "Because I like beautiful women, and you are very beautiful... so I want..."

In that instant, before Xiao Nan could even react, he pulled her tightly into his arms.

His embrace was broad and possessive, leaving her no way to break free. Her chest was pressed tightly against his, and even her breathing became rapid.

His arms were tightly wrapped around her waist, his palms pressed against her back, conveying a domineering force. Xiao Nan felt his possessiveness and his determination to have her.

Xiao Nan's body tensed up, her hands trying to push him away, trying to resist, trying to break free from his embrace.

She pushed hard against his chest with both hands, but found that her strength was so insignificant in front of Uchiha Mitsunori, and it had no effect at all. Instead, he held her even tighter.

Uchiha Mitsunori sensed her struggle and the resistance in her heart. He tightened his grip on her arm and pressed his other hand against her back, domineeringly controlling her movements and leaving her no room to resist.

"Stop struggling, Konan. You can't escape. From now on, you can only be mine. Nagato and Yahiko are gone. They can't protect you. Only I... will be with you..."

Konan's struggles gradually weakened, and images from the Infinite Tsukuyomi flashed through her mind...

In that magical world, she was once held in his arms so tenderly. There was no war, no loss, no pain, only peace and happiness, only his companionship and care, who would shelter her from the wind and rain and give her the best of everything in the world.

She knew that everything before her might be a new "illusion," or a lie he had woven to trap her.

Rather than fighting back and ending up with nothing, rather than putting yourself, Nagato, and Yahiko in even greater danger, it's better to accept it calmly. Perhaps, this way, you can still buy something for Nagato and Yahiko...

Perhaps, in this way, she could gain a moment of peace, no longer having to live in constant fear, no longer having to face all the dangers alone.

Thinking of this, Xiao Nan slowly lowered her resisting hands, and her body gradually relaxed, as if she had lost all her strength.

Uchiha Mitsunori sensed her change and her compliance, and his smile grew even gentler.

His gaze was fixed on her eyes, and then he gently kissed her.

Xiao Nan closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, like the wings of a startled butterfly folding its wings.

She did not respond or resist, letting Uchiha Mitsumine kiss her, her body slightly stiffening.

It felt strange, yet strangely familiar... It was like the kiss he had given her in the Infinite Tsukuyomi...

Her fingers touched her side, a slight stinging sensation reminding her that this was not an illusion, but something that was truly happening.

From this moment forward, her world may be completely changed. The last vestiges of resistance in her heart, the lingering attachment to the past, the concern for Nagato and Yahiko, were eventually swallowed up by weariness and relief, and melted away little by little by his gentleness and domineering nature.

Uchiha Mitsunori gradually softened his kiss, his tongue gently caressing her lips, feeling her softness and submission, her stiffness and unease. The possessiveness in his eyes faded, replaced by tenderness.

His forehead pressed against hers, their breaths mingling, carrying a hint of ambiguity.

"Xiao Nan, we've lived together in the illusion for over a decade, brewing tea in the morning, watching the rain at dusk, and taking leisurely walks together. I thought we were an old married couple, but I never expected you to be so awkward and shy... But perhaps that makes it more interesting."

Upon hearing his words, Xiao Nan's cheeks instantly flushed a faint blush. Like peach blossoms caressed by the evening breeze, the blush spread from the tips of her ears to her neck, even making her ears feel hot.

She had never been teased so bluntly in her entire life, let alone when it came to those false yet warm memories from the illusion.

His bluntness made her flustered and shy, and she dared not look him in the eye.

She never imagined he would bring up the past in the illusion, those false yet warm years.

A strange ripple stirred in Xiao Nan's heart; she couldn't tell if it was shyness or a flutter of excitement...

Looking at her like this, Uchiha Mitsunori smiled smugly, his eyes filled with a burning gaze, as if he wanted to melt her.

He raised his right hand and gently stroked her flushed cheeks, the touch delicate and soft.

He gently lifted her up in his arms, his movements gentle and steady.

Xiao Nan's body trembled slightly, her cheek pressed against his chest. The steady heartbeat, like drumbeats, struck her heart, gradually easing her tense nerves.

She closed her eyes, her heart filled with mixed feelings—helplessness, relief, shyness, unease, and peace of mind... In his arms, she seemed to be able to temporarily let down her guard and find a moment of tranquility.

He carried her and walked slowly toward the soft couch inside the palace, each step taken with exceptional steadiness.

The soft couch was covered with a plush brocade quilt embroidered with delicate orchid patterns, which complemented Xiao Nan's long dress perfectly.

A small palace lantern sat nearby, emitting a soft glow that made the entire room feel exceptionally warm and dispelled the chill of the night.

After walking to the edge of the couch, he gently placed her on the soft brocade quilt and slightly adjusted her position.

Uchiha Mitsunori slowly straightened up, looking at her lying on the brocade quilt, her cheeks slightly flushed, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her appearance extremely moving, making him unable to resist wanting to hold her tightly in his arms.

He slowly leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Xiao Nan... I'm coming in..."

After saying that, he moved closer to Xiao Nan's body...

Xiao Nan closed her eyes, her cheeks flushed even more, and she gripped the silk quilt tightly with both hands...

Soon, the sound of rapid breathing could be heard from inside the room!
