Chapter 1: AM I DONE?

______________________________________________

"Come to my room, and I'll show you something good." Yuki Yuichi sneakily pulled Yuhi Kurenai into his room.

"Ugh!"

Yuhi Kurenai, who had been watering the flowers by the window, was caught off guard and dragged into the room by him.

Smelling the air inside, Yuhi Kurenai's face turned a bright red. She glanced at Yuki Yuichi and asked softly, "Yuichi, what do you want to show me?"

"This is for you." Yuki Yuichi fiddled with the cabinet beside his bed for a moment, then brought out a small, delicate picture frame.

It was a frame with glass on both sides, but there was a piece of plain white paper in the middle, giving it a somewhat crude appearance.

Looking at the frame, which was only the size of an average person's palm, Yuhi Kurenai was curious. She blinked her big eyes and asked, "What is this?"

"Why is there just a piece of paper in the middle?"

Hearing Yuhi Kurenai's question, Yuki Yuichi chuckled and took her small hand, leading her to the window and holding the frame up to the sunlight.

In the sunlight, the rough-looking white paper revealed an image of Yuhi Kurenai's face.

"How do you like it? Do you like it?"

"Today's your birthday, and this is the gift I've been preparing for a long time!"

"Well..." Yuhi Kurenai, seeing her own face in the frame, blushed and nodded, her expression soft.

Unbeknownst to them, Yuhi Shinku, Kurenai's father, had walked to the door of the room, his eyebrow twitching with irritation and an unexplained anger rising in his chest.

This brat only knows how to flirt with my daughter!

Every time he saw his daughter gazing at that kid with stars in her eyes, he couldn't help but want to slap himself.

Yuki Yuichi's mother died in childbirth, and his father died on a mission while saving him, leaving Yuki, who was only one year old at the time, behind.

Since Yuhi Shinku had a daughter of the same age, he decided to take in Yuki and raise the two children together.

Initially, he thought raising one child was good, and raising two was even better.

But little did he know that this boy had been chasing after his daughter ever since he learned to speak.

At first, Yuhi Shinku thought it was just a close friendship, a natural result of growing up together.

But later, when his daughter said she wanted to marry Yuki Yuichi, he realized, too late, that he had basically invited a wolf into his home.

Yuki Yuichi, however, was a time traveler, though he hadn't fared well after his journey.

In the dueling field of his past world, just as he was about to be crushed by a diamond body, he was suddenly transformed into a one-year-old baby.

Before he could even adapt to the situation, someone picked him up and informed him that his father had died.

This made him feel guilty for a long time, thinking that his time travel had somehow led to the death of his relatives in this world.

Fortunately, he was adopted by Yuhi Shinku, and not long after, he awakened a system that rewarded him for certain achievements.

These achievements unlocked ninja templates from the previous Naruto mobile game, which came with unique skills.

However, the achievements were random and without prompts, so he had to explore and unlock them by himself.

His first achievement, unlocked when he learned to speak, was:

[Achievement Unlocked: Childhood Sweetheart]

[A wife should be raised from an early age!]

[Reward: Naruto Uzumaki (Academy Student)]

Along with the Naruto template, he gained three skills: painting, a clone attack (which had a chance of failure), and the "Sexy Jutsu."

Each template also came with the corresponding bloodline, and since Naruto's bloodline was from the Uzumaki clan, Yuki Yuichi's hair had slowly turned red.

"Yuichi-kun, I love it~" Yuhi Kurenai hugged the picture frame, her face flushed, her red eyes sparkling with joy.

At the door, Yuhi Shinku clenched his fists. This damned brat!

Just as Yuki Yuichi was about to say something, Yuhi Shinku stormed into the room, his face dark, and knocked Yuki Yuichi on the head.

"You little brat, stop corrupting Kurenai!"

Yuhi Shinku dragged Yuhi Kurenai downstairs, saying, "Dinner's ready. Hurry up and eat!"

"Okay, Uncle Shinku," Yuki Yuichi replied, rubbing his head. As he watched Kurenai walk downstairs, he muttered to himself, Soon enough, Kurenai will be calling you to throw coins!

There was no woman in Yuhi Shinku's household, so Yuhi Kurenai had to play both mother and daughter. She had even learned to cook quite well.

At the dinner table, Yuhi Kurenai served some food for her father, smiling as she said, "Daddy's cooking is delicious as always."

"Yeah, Uncle's cooking is the best!" Yuki Yuichi chimed in, giving Yuhi Shinku a grin and a thumbs up.

Watching Yuki Yuichi, Yuhi Shinku had a brief, nostalgic moment. For a split second, he saw a young boy in green tights doing the exact same motion.

However, he quickly shook it off and, as he looked at Yuki Yuichi and his daughter wolfing down their food, he couldn't help but smile.

Life was good like this.

"School starts tomorrow," Yuhi Shinku reminded them, looking specifically at Yuki Yuichi. "No mischief, okay?"

"Why are you only looking at me?" Yuki Yuichi protested, feeling wronged.

"Everyone knows that Yuki Yuichi is the most handsome guy in the village!"

"Heh," Yuhi Shinku sneered, unconvinced. He wasn't worried about Kurenai. She was gentle, just like her mother—shy, quiet, and never mischievous.

But Yuki Yuichi... He was a troublemaker from the moment he could walk.

At two years old, he managed to "borrow" baby birds from others' nests.

At three, he snuck out, using Shinku's name to buy things on credit.

By the age of four, when he learned to refine chakra, his antics became even more extreme. He took Kurenai to Hokage Rock to pee on the Third Hokage's face!

At five, he finally seemed a bit more manageable after meeting a boy in green tights, but he still stirred up trouble occasionally.

This kid was a devil.

"Just you wait!" Yuki Yuichi shouted, jumping up. "I'll show you just how powerful I am!"

And with that, he ran off, determined to trigger an achievement by acting like a mischievous child.
