Chapter 115 » The Art of Pacing—From One-Time Feast to Everyday Meal! I'm a Player, Bro!

Inside the bumpy carriage, Yusuke reclined leisurely. The journey to Kiri would take nearly ten more days.

He glanced at Samui, who had fallen into a deep slumber above him after their recent intense encounter. As he caressed her golden hair, she clung to him like an octopus, practically fused to his body.

'Wasn't she the one who wanted to strangle me to death not long ago? Now she seems intent on crushing me instead…' He mused.

Putting these thoughts aside, Yusuke made himself comfortable on the bed. Relishing the softness of Samui's body against his, he decided to continue the simulation.

'Continue the simulation.'

[ Ding! Life Simulation continues! ]

[ You've already transformed into Sai using the transformation jutsu at the restaurant. ]

[ With your Ultimate Transformation Jutsu, there's no risk of being exposed — you're completely undetectable! ]

[ Now, as Sai, you're waiting quietly in a private room. ]

[ In the adjacent room, Ino and Sakura have been drinking heavily, while Hinata sips fruit tea, abstaining from alcohol as usual. ]

[ After half an hour, Ino's speech becomes slurred, her dizziness apparent. "I can't... I just can't..." she mumbles, her words trailing off, "Hinata~Hehe... I'll need your help getting home again..." ]

[ Hinata nods gently, "Mm!" ]

[ Sakura, with the highest alcohol tolerance of the three, remains somewhat functional. ]

[ Seizing the moment, you make your move. You step into the hallway, perfectly timing your exit to encounter the three women leaving their room. Feigning surprise, you inquire about their presence. ]

[ Upon seeing you — or rather, Sai — Ino immediately succumbs to sleep, overcome by intoxication. Sakura and Hinata explain sheepishly that the three friends hadn't gathered in a while and decided to meet up. ]

[ You smile understandingly and suggest Hinata escort Sakura home while you take care of Ino. The two women agree without suspicion — after all, your Ultimate Transformation Jutsu is flawless! ]

[ With their nods of approval, you gently support Ino, bid farewell to Sakura and Hinata, and casually depart. ]

"Now I finally understand why this transformation jutsu is called the 'Demon Version'." Yusuke mused, pinching the bridge of his nose.

This transformation jutsu was truly terrifying. It could completely replace a person in the flesh, and those around remained utterly oblivious! That was the truly horrifying part.

Just like Hinata in the simulator — she never realized Naruto had long been replaced. And neither did Sakura.

A wry smile spread across Yusuke's face.

[ You escort the drowsy and dazed Ino back to the Yamanaka clan compound. ]

[ Ino's mother greets you with a warm smile. To her, you're a son-in-law she heartily approves of. As you're joining the clan through marriage, she welcomes you without reservation and is eager for the union. ]

[ Since Inoichi's heroic sacrifice in the Fourth Ninja War, Ino's mother has been keen to find a suitable match for her daughter. Sai is her top choice. She and Ino had already discussed this, reaching an agreement almost immediately. ]

[ After exchanging pleasantries with Ino's mother, you guide her daughter to her private quarters. ]

[ Having settled the drowsy Ino, you take a deep breath and prepare to depart. ]

[ Just as you're about to leave, her eyes flutter open. With a face flushed from embarrassment — or perhaps the alcohol — she embraces you tightly and whispers, "Sai, tell me... do you truly like me?" ]

[ Her gaze, unwavering and intense, searches your eyes for the answer she longs to hear. ]

[ You inhale deeply, your eyes brimming with affection, and reply, "I like you, Ino. Truly, deeply — I like you very much." ]

[ Having spent the past six months alternating between the Hyuga clan and Sakura's home, exchanging countless words of love, such declarations now come effortlessly to you. ]

"A player, huh?" Yusuke raised an eyebrow and clicked his tongue. "Tsk tsk tsk..."

It seemed he had the potential to be a player — something he hadn't even realized about himself.

As he glanced down at Samui beside him and thought about Mei, Mikoto, and Mabui still in the ANBU building in Kirigakure, a realization struck him.

"You know, I handle these situations pretty well... I guess I'm quite the ladies' man." As his ego inflated with each thought, he quickly caught himself. This line of thinking needed to stop.

He was conveniently forgetting his status as a kidnapper most of the time...

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Yusuke returned his focus to the life simulation.

[ Ino, having received the answer she desired most, embraces you tightly for an extended period. ]

[ After a prolonged moment of intimacy, you clear your throat softly and whisper in her ear, "Ino, your mother knows I brought you back. If I stay in your room too long... won't she get the wrong idea?" ]

[ This is your strategy — playing hard to get. You understand well that patience yields the best results. The distinction between a fleeting indulgence and sustained contentment is something you grasp clearly. ]

[ "Mmm..." Ino murmurs in your arms, her face flushed as she says, "Don't worry, Sai. I've already spoken to my mother about you, and she approves... I-I approve too... Why else would I have agreed to be your girlfriend?" ]

[ You glance at her in your arms and clear your throat again. Despite the passion Ino has ignited within you, you maintain your composure. ]

[ "I'm truly glad your mother approves of me, but it's quite late now, Ino. You should rest." You reassure her, then calmly take your leave. After all, this could be a test from Ino! ]

[ This approach will only increase her trust in you. ]

[ Besides, you have other options awaiting you. ]

[ You depart from the Yamanaka clan compound, then use Body Flicker Technique to vanish without a trace. ]

[ Upon arriving at Sakura's house, you've already transformed into Sasuke. ]

[ As soon as you enter, Sakura, smelling of alcohol, rushes into your arms. ]

[ She explains that she returned late tonight, feared you were angry and had left, and is now in tears. She promises to inform you in advance whenever she goes out in the future. ]

[ You gently stroke her head and smile, saying, "I left because I had an errand, not because you were late. However, I am a bit displeased about your tardiness, so there must be a punishment." You smile mischievously. ]

[ At this, her body quivers slightly, and with flushed cheeks, she nods and whispers, "Mm." ]

[ She knows exactly what kind of "punishment" you're implying, and deep down, she's excited. It's clearly a reward — how could it be called a punishment? ]

[ Of course, Sakura would never admit this to you. ]

Yusuke arched an eyebrow and let out a soft chuckle.

"Quite the player, aren't I?" He mused, "As expected of a young man — as expected of me!"

[ In the following period, your life transformed from a two-point routine to a three-point one! ]

[ Diligent as you are, you now shuttle between the Yamanaka clan, the Hyuga clan, and Sakura's house. ]

[ You've certainly earned the title of Konoha's hardest worker! ]

[ Meanwhile, Ino, Hinata, and Sakura often gather, and they've all begun to notice changes. ]

[ It seems everyone's figures and skin have been improving. They all know the reason without voicing it, as all three women understand the cause. But given the delicate nature of the matter, it's difficult to discuss openly. Perhaps in the future, if the opportunity arises, they might share their experiences. ]

[ For now, though, they haven't reached that point. ]

[ On this particular day, you're taking your usual stroll by the lake. After all, your primary duty is to patrol the village and assist people with their problems. ]

[ With the Ninja World War long past, the entire ninja world has entered a period of relative peace. Life in peacetime is wonderfully comfortable and relaxed! ]

[ "Hey! Ha! Hey! Ha!!" ]

[ Suddenly, a series of feminine shouts reaches your ears. You turn towards the sound and, to your surprise, discover Tenten training by the lake. ]

[ She's swinging her fists vigorously, her body already glistening with sweat. ]

[ You leap onto a large tree behind her, unnoticed. With your current abilities, even a Kage-level ninja couldn't detect your presence. ]

[ After Tenten finishes her training, she wipes her brow, glances around, then unscrews her water bottle and gulps down. She pouts and mutters, "Neji... you died so tragically... And you're dead, yet you still haunt my dreams! Really!" ]

[ Her frustration is evident. She came to train because she's been dreaming of Neji Hyuga frequently. She hoped the exercise would change that. ]

[ From your perch, you hear everything clearly. As she leaves, you chuckle softly, "So Tenten misses Neji?" ]

[ You stroke your chin, musing. After all, helping people is your favorite pastime! ]

[ "Sigh..." You exhale lightly, "Well then! Let me fulfill your dream, Tenten!" ]

[ You leap away, vanishing. Half an hour later, you arrive at Konoha's cemetery. The Ultimate Transformation Jutsu only requires face-to-face contact with the target — alive or dead. ]

[ Even if this fails, you can use the normal Transformation Jutsu to become Neji. At worst, you'd lack his skills, but with your current abilities, Tenten wouldn't notice the difference. ]

[ You approach Neji Hyuga's gravestone and wait silently. ]

[ {Ding! Congratulations, host! You've fulfilled the condition: 'coming face to face with Neji Hyuga'!} ]

[ You smile. It worked! ]

[ Ultimate Transformation Technique — Neji Hyuga Form! ]

[ In an instant, you perform the jutsu, transforming into Neji! ]

[ {Ding! Replicating 'Neji Hyuga's' abilities! Congratulations, host! You've obtained: Gentle Fist, Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven, Byakugan...} ]
