Chapter 43: Harem Talk

Sasuke and Yasaka were lying next to each other on their bed. Yasaka decided to broach the topic related to Amaterasu and asked, "Sasuke, what do you think of Amaterasu?"

Sasuke leaned against the bedrest and pondered his feelings towards the goddess. "She is someone who is close to me, just like you. I am grateful for all the assistance she has provided," he replied gently.

Yasaka smiled charmingly at his answer and continued the conversation. "Sasuke, what do you think about having a harem?" she asked. Sasuke's eyes opened wide in surprise, caught off guard by the question. He stuttered, "Uh, what do you mean?"

Yasaka found Sasuke's confusion quite cute and decided to clarify. She moved onto his lap and gave him a quick peck before explaining, "I mean, you having multiple romantic partners. It is quite common and accepted in this world."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes and responded seriously, "Why is this related to me? You already know that when it comes to emotions, I am still learning, having suppressed them since the massacre."

Yasaka found his reasoning amusing and replied, "You might not realize it, Sasuke, but you are the ideal lover for many people. You possess looks, strength, and a unique personality."

She continued, "Once people discover you, they will pursue you. I don't want those vixens getting too close to you. However, I have no issue if it's Amaterasu, as I have known her since I was young, and she is like a big sister to me."

Sasuke scrunched his face in denial and said, "So you mean you don't mind if Amaterasu and I are together?" Yasaka happily replied, "Nope. And as you mentioned, Karin is coming. From the memories I saw, she genuinely cares about you, so both Amaterasu and I approve of her. If there are any others, they will need my agreement, as I still want you all to myself."

Sasuke cursed inwardly, thinking, 'Shit, having a harem is not for me. I can barely express myself, and now I have to do it for others.'

Yasaka could sense Sasuke's thoughts and reassured him, "Having other people who care about you and your well-being can be a positive experience. We will guide you and help you love yourself. I know you will treat everyone equally."

Sasuke sighed, realizing that Yasaka wouldn't back down. He had no choice but to concede, saying, "Fine, but it has to be very small. I want to enjoy my time with you, my friends, and my family. I don't need lovers having conflicts and fighting for affection. Ever since I was young, I have witnessed the fanatical behavior of fangirls."

Yasaka, seeing Sasuke's agreement, cuddled closer to him and said, "Promise me you will treat us all equally. I want you all to myself, but I don't want to deny you your happiness." Sasuke's eyes softened as he replied, "I promise. I am the happiest I have ever been."

Sasuke paused for a moment and awkwardly asked, "Can you bring this up to my mother? I really don't know how to inform her." Yasaka, understanding Sasuke's shyness, reassured him, "Don't worry, your mom is really nice. I love talking to her, so I'll bring it up. We will have a big, happy family in the future, right?"

Upon hearing those words, "family" and "future," Sasuke quickly connected the dots and realized the possibility of having children. He thought to himself, 'Oh shit, me being a dad in the future.'

With a wry smile, Sasuke asked, "Do you want children, Yasaka?" Yasaka's eyes turned emotional, and she looked down, softly muttering, "Yes." Sasuke understood that it was important to her, so he gently placed his arms around her waist, hugged her, and said, "I would love to have a family with you in the future, Yasaka." Yasaka perked up and softly exclaimed, "Really!"

Sasuke gave her a gentle smile, poked her forehead, and replied, "Yes, I know you will be a great mother." Yasaka hugged Sasuke tightly, expressing her gratitude. "Thank you, thank you. I know it will be after your family settles, but I am so glad," she said happily.

Sasuke and Yasaka were outside, engaging in conversation with the Uchiha family. Yasaka was talking to Izumi, Mikoto, and Kushina, while Sasuke's father was conversing with Minato.

Meanwhile, Shisui, Itachi, and Sasuke were left together, the prodigy trio. Shisui pointed at the group of women and a girl and asked, "What do you think they are talking about?"

(A/N: What should these three be called or referred too in the supernatural world.)

Sasuke immediately replied, "Definitely not about you." Shisui pouted and said, "Hmm, I don't need women to talk about me." Itachi narrowed his eyes and asked, "So you don't care if women talk about you?" Shisui resolutely nodded.

Sasuke, realizing what his brother was doing, said, "I didn't know you swung that way, Shisui. We all accept you, no matter your preference."

Itachi covered his mouth to stifle a laugh, and Shisui cursed himself for walking into that trap. "I'm straight. When I get my body back, you'll see I'll get a girlfriend," he retorted.

Sasuke simply nodded and said, "Yasaka said she doesn't mind me having a harem." Itachi and Shisui's mouths widened, and Shisui exclaimed, "I'm still single, and you're already getting approval for more lovers. The world is so unfair."

Sasuke replied, "It's not like I suggested it. She brought it up because Amaterasu has feelings for me. You know us Uchiha are weird when it comes to emotion and love, so I only agreed to a small one."

Itachi said, "Well, as long as you're okay with it." Shisui chimed in, "Yes, we need to repopulate our clan. Sasuke has taken the first step." Sasuke shrugged and said, "I guess I am okay with it."
