Chapter 114 » A Gathering of Three Sisters! Ino: Are You Two Hiding Something?

[ The fragrant aroma of sizzling ingredients wafts from the kitchen into the living room. ]

[ You lounge in the living room, observing the busy figure in the kitchen. A smirk plays on your lips as you mutter, "Oh, Sasuke, keep on exploring those Kaguya ruins outside the village. Don't fret about home — I've got everything under control." ]

[ Your face beams with satisfaction. After all, Sasuke is off in some far-flung corner, blissfully unaware. ]

Simulating to this point, Yūsuke couldn't help but shake his head. That emo boy Sasuke truly doesn't know how good he has it!

After the Fourth Great Ninja War, almost everyone in Konoha had forgiven him. Yet for some inexplicable reason, this guy suddenly decided to leave? To "use his eyes to witness the world"?

He's leaving his future wife alone in the village? Who knows if he's genuinely confused or just playing dumb. Even if he wanted to leave Konoha, he could've at least taken his wife with him, right? But no. This idiot just up and left all by himself.

Perhaps he's passionate about being a lone, one-armed hero.

'If I were in his shoes, I'd definitely take eight or ten wives along to travel. I guess only someone with a brain like that idiot could pull a stunt like this.'

It's fortunate that Sakura is so devoted to him, without a wandering eye. Otherwise, Sarada's very existence might be questionable.

Yūsuke narrowed his eyes, then continued the life simulation.

[ In the kitchen, Sakura's busy figure is reflected in your eyes through the misty windows. ]

[ You take a deep breath, slowly rise from the sofa in the living room, then walk to the kitchen door and gently knock on the glass, "Sakura, do you need any help?" ]

[ Sakura, upon hearing your words, immediately responds softly, "No need! Sasuke-kun, you've been investigating outside the village these past few months, surely not eating or sleeping well. Just relax on the sofa and wait for the meal, okay?" ]

[ Hearing her words, you pinch your nose, smile slightly, and return to the sofa. Since she doesn't want you to exert yourself, you won't insist. ]

[ An hour later, the table is laden with fragrant dishes! If nothing else, Sakura's culinary skills are quite impressive, in some aspects rivaling your own! ]

[ "Sasuke-kun, dinner's ready~!" She calls lovingly after serving the rice. ]

[ You sit down beside her, then smile and say, "I want... you to feed me." ]

[ Hearing this, her face instantly flushes bright red, but amidst joy and shyness, she agrees. ]

[ The meal is thoroughly satisfying. You continuously praise Sakura's culinary skills, filling her heart with happiness! ]

[ After dinner, it's already late, with the moon hanging high in the sky. ]

[ Although her room is decorated cozily, it's only a one-bedroom apartment. Sakura now faces an awkward problem — there's not enough space. ]

[ The main reason is that she didn't expect you to return to the village so quickly. She had originally planned to find a larger place and move there after a while. ]

[ "Sasuke-kun, I'm sorry, the room is a bit small..." Sakura says somewhat embarrassedly, "You've been working hard outside the village for so many days, you should rest well. Um... if you don't mind, you can use my room. I'll sleep on the sofa in the living room tonight." ]

[ "How could that be!" You immediately stand up, saying in an unquestionable tone, "No, you can't sleep on the sofa. What if you catch a cold? Besides, I don't think your bedroom is small at all." You come to her side and smile gently, "It's enough for us to have fun in." ]

[ After that, the small bed bore the weight of repeated passion. If it had any consciousness, it would surely wonder why its fate was so miserable. In the end, it indeed nearly broke from the powerful impacts. ]

[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 500,000 Villain Points! ]

Yūsuke raised an eyebrow. "Now that's more like it!"

He let out a deep, satisfied sigh.

"Thank goodness for the life simulator's real-time immersive feature." He mused, "I'd hate to miss out on all these experiences."

[ The next morning, Sakura rose early to prepare breakfast for you. Thanks to her "Strength of a Hundred Seal", she quickly recovered from the night's exertions. ]

[ After savoring the delicious meal, she nestled in your arms and asked softly, "Sasuke-kun, how long will you stay this time? Could you... stay a bit longer? I'll miss you." ]

[ "Hmm..." You feigned contemplation, then gently caressed her cheek, "For now, I have no plans to leave. You're too amazing — I can't bear to go." ]

[ "Oh!" Sakura's heart swelled with joy. Her efforts had paid off! She clenched her fist gently and declared, "Sasuke-kun, I'll work even harder from now on!" ]

[ "Mm. During the day, though, I'll investigate some matters nearby. I can't just idle about." You said with a smile. ]

[ "Okay!" Sakura nodded eagerly. Having you by her side at night was enough. She had her own duties at the Konoha Ninja Hospital, after all. ]

[ After she left, you departed from her home. ]

[ In the following days, you settled into a leisurely routine, alternating between the Hyuga compound and Sakura's home. Your identity switched effortlessly between Naruto and Sasuke. ]

[ Two months flew by, during which you amassed another 800,000 Villain Points from the pair — a veritable windfall! ]

[ Today, Sakura, Hinata, and Ino gathered for a long-overdue reunion. ]

[ At a restaurant, Ino scrutinized her friends' radiant complexions, "Hey, Sakura, Hinata, why does your skin look even smoother and fairer than two months ago? Have you been hiding some secret beauty regimen? Hmph... You two are so mean, keeping it to yourselves. Don't you consider me a sister anymore?" ]

[ Hearing Ino's envious words, Sakura and Hinata exchanged glances, their faces flushing slightly. The reason for their improved complexion wasn't due to any skincare products. The real cause... well, that couldn't be shared with Ino. ]

[ "Also, you two have been so elusive these past two months. I've tried to invite you out for drinks twice, but you never showed." Ino said, pouring herself a drink with a pout, "I get why Sakura's busy — the ninja hospital's always hectic. But you, Hinata! What's kept the Hyuga heiress so occupied? Hee hee... Been spending quality time with Naruto?" ]

[ At her teasing, Hinata's cheeks turned crimson. Ino had unknowingly hit the mark. ]

[ Meanwhile, you were concealed in the adjacent private room, eavesdropping on the trio's conversation. ]

[ "Let's change the subject." Sakura interjected, noticing Hinata's discomfort, "Hey Ino, I heard you and Sai are an item now?" ]

[ Gossip — the ultimate ice-breaker in women's conversations! ]

[ "...Mm!" Ino, emboldened by the alcohol, replied with a slight blush, "Yeah. Since we're sisters, I'll spill... I just agreed to be Sai's girlfriend yesterday. But shh..." She pressed a finger to her lips, "This stays between us! It's still just hearsay to everyone else. Sai and I haven't made it official yet! I'm only telling you two because you're my besties!" ]

[ "Wow~!" Sakura and Hinata leaned in, eyes sparkling with curiosity. ]

[ In the next room, you nodded pensively. Sai? Lucky bastard. But they only just made it official yesterday? ]

[ "Hmm..." You mulled it over, a sly smile slowly spreading across your face. ]

[ You decided to approach this situation with utmost care. ]

[ After all, your guiding principle has always been a five-word motto: ]

[ "Mine, mine, it's all mine!" ]

'What an excellent motto!' Yūsuke smirked, clicking his tongue appreciatively.

Indeed, as they say, only children limit themselves to choices.

Yūsuke gazed at Samui's sleeping form in his lap, his thoughts drifting to the other women at home.

'I want them all!'

[ Ding! Life Simulation continues! ]

[ You activate your ultimate-level sensing ability. With your current strength, you effortlessly sense everything within Konohagakure's entire range. ]

[ Three minutes later, you open your eyes slowly, having discovered Sai's whereabouts. He's conducting an interrogation at the ANBU base. ]

[ You leap out the window. The evening sky greets you. ]

[ Within ten minutes, you easily infiltrate the ANBU building and reach the interrogation room. Sai is handling a routine village conflict. ]

[ He's curious about your presence — after all, this is ANBU headquarters, and to his knowledge, you're just an ordinary jōnin. ]

[ {Ding! Congratulations! You've met the 'Encountering Sai' condition. You can now use 'Ultimate Transformation Jutsu' to replicate at will!} ]

[ You smile at Sai, saying, "From now on, focus solely on your job. Stay away from Ino." ]

[ As you finish speaking, your double genjutsu — Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan plus Six Tomoe Rinnegan — instantly ensnares him. He falls deep into your illusion. ]

[ Expressionlessly, he replies: "Yes!" ]

[ Task complete, you calmly exit ANBU headquarters. ]

[ Twelve minutes later, you're back at the restaurant. You form hand seals! ]

[ Ultimate Transformation Technique — Sai Form! ]

[ As the white smoke clears, you've transformed into Sai. Your frenzied replication journey begins! ]

[ {Ding! Replicating 'Sai's' abilities! Congratulations on obtaining: Ninja Art: Super Beast Scroll, Ink Clone Technique, Sealing Technique: Tiger Vision Staring Bullet, Super Beast Imitating Drawing....} ]
