Naruto: Yandere Harem with Gacha System

"Uncle Kitsuchi, Kurotsuchi is injured, aren't we going to bring her back for treatment?"

Simple-minded Akatsuchi didn't understand the deeper meaning in Kitsuchi's words, and asked his question in puzzlement.

Kitsuchi also didn't plan to explain his own thoughts to Akatsuchi, and simply said, "The best medical ninja are all over in Konoha. Kurotsuchi can get better treatment over there."

"Is that so?"

Akatsuchi scratched his round head. He kept feeling that the other party had another purpose, but since he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it.

———

On the other side—

Aoba looked at Hinata tilting her head, gazing at him with a dazedly cute expression.

It seemed that in the future he should still try not to say things like "go easy on other girls."

A faint emerald-green chakra appeared in his hands.

He began helping Kurotsuchi with treatment.

Speaking of which, Kurotsuchi's injuries weren't actually that serious.

Hinata's set of Gentle Fist techniques had really been aimed to attack very little; most of it was just to block Kurotsuchi's chakra points.

As for why she had fainted, that was because the last strike hit the vagus nerve in Kurotsuchi's lower jaw, knocking her out instantly.

After Aoba gave her a simple treatment, Kurotsuchi woke up.

"What happened?", Kurotsuchi's expression was still a little dazed.

But she very quickly realized something was off, because right now, she was leaning in Aoba's arms.

In an instant, her whole body jolted like she'd been electrocuted, springing away from Aoba to keep some distance. But very soon she felt her body go all soft and powerless again.

She was about to fall backward when Hinata, standing to the side, caught her from behind.

"All your chakra points are sealed by me right now, so it's better not to move around recklessly."

"Ah? Oh," Kurotsuchi nodded blankly.

Aoba felt a bit speechless, her brain was still in short-circuit mode.

He looked over at Hinata again and said, "Hinata, go ahead and undo the chakra point blocks on her first."

"Mm," Hinata nodded, and retrieved all the chakra she had struck into Kurotsuchi's body earlier.

With her strength restored, Kurotsuchi gradually understood what had happened.

Simply put, she had lost. And she had lost completely.

She instantly became sullen and unhappy.

"I told you a long time ago, you're no match for Hinata, but you wouldn't believe it," Aoba teased her from the side.

Kurotsuchi didn't want to pay him any attention at all, instead turning to look at Hinata.

"How are you guys so strong?"

She had originally thought that she already counted as a top-class genius in Iwagakure.

Not only was she taught by her grandfather, the Tsuchikage, she also possessed a rare kekkei genkai.

Yet after coming to Konoha and experiencing so many battles, she hadn't won a single one.

Hinata froze for a moment, not expecting Kurotsuchi to ask her this question.

She thought about it, but then turned her gaze toward Aoba, and couldn't help recalling some memories from her childhood.

She thought of the time when she had been bullied by a few children, and then the scene where he had played the hero rescuing the beauty.

She couldn't help smiling again.

She had actually long since figured it out, 'Aoba-kun, with strength that great, how could he possibly have been bullied by little kids like that?'

He had clearly been pretending to get hurt in front of her on purpose.

But after knowing that, Hinata didn't feel angry, on the contrary, she felt a bit happy.

'Doesn't this mean that Aoba-kun has liked me ever since we were little?'

Thinking of this, Hinata smiled even more happily.

"?", Aoba didn't have mind-reading, so he had no idea what Hinata was thinking right now.

'Isn't Kurotsuchi asking her a question? Why did she suddenly start smiling at me?'

"You…", Kurotsuchi also looked over at Aoba.

It was only then that Hinata spoke up, "If it weren't for Aoba-kun, I might still be a crybaby who could only hide behind others."

"Eh?", Kurotsuchi really couldn't picture Hinata as a crybaby.

Although she was soft and gentle now, that was still a far cry from a crybaby.

"I'm the same!", Yakumo, at the side, couldn't wait to speak up.

"If it weren't for Aoba helping me, I probably wouldn't even have been able to become a ninja, and would've had to stay in a sanatorium my whole life."

Although Yakumo said it lightly, that had actually been her most despairing time.

All her peers had gone to attend the ninja academy, while she, because of her physical condition, could only stay at home.

"It was that bad?"

Kurotsuchi was even more shocked.

She couldn't imagine that a lively girl like Yakumo had almost been unable to become a ninja.

"I'm the same," Seeing Hinata and Yakumo talking about their past, Karin naturally wasn't willing to be left behind, "If it weren't for Aoba-nii bringing me and my mother to Konoha, we might have died long ago."

Kurotsuchi was now so shocked that she could hardly speak.

Even Temari hadn't expected these three girls to have such pasts.

The destinies of the three had all been changed because of Aoba.

She also understood a little better why the three of them, being so outstanding, could still accept Aoba's affections.

"And me! And me!", At this time, Sakura also came over to join in, "If it weren't for Aoba, right now I'd probably…"

But at Sakura's words, Ino and Tenten couldn't help rolling their eyes.

Others might have had different reasons, but for Sakura it was mostly because she'd been smitten at first sight.

You could only say it started with his looks and sank into his talent.

But since Sakura had spoken up, of course they couldn't lag behind.

If they didn't say something at this moment, wouldn't it be like admitting their relationships with Aoba weren't as deep as the others'?

Listening to them go back and forth one by one, Aoba was starting to feel a little embarrassed.

He felt that he wasn't actually as great as they said. After all, each time he had approached them with other motives.

Just as his mind began to drift, he suddenly felt a slightly heated gaze.

Following the line of that gaze, he saw Kurotsuchi looking at him intently.

"Since they all became this strong because they were with you… does that mean, as long as I stick with you, I can become strong too?"

"Uh—"

'What is that supposed to mean?'

The chattering voices of the girls around them suddenly stopped.

They all looked toward Kurotsuchi.

Aoba instantly felt a headache coming on, and patiently explained to Kurotsuchi, "You've got it wrong. It's not me who made Hinata and the others so strong. It's because they already had that talent to begin with, and on top of that they worked hard themselves. That's why they became this strong.

"I just gave a little bit of help, that's all."

Hearing this, Kurotsuchi frowned again, "So you're saying my talent isn't enough, huh?"

Aoba didn't answer, but from his expression it was clear he'd already admitted it.

Kurotsuchi puffed up her cheeks in annoyance.

She turned her head away, not wanting to look at that annoying face of Aoba's anymore.

Seeing that Kurotsuchi wasn't dwelling on the matter further, the other girls all breathed a small sigh of relief.

While they chatted idly, the matches in the arena were also continuing in full swing.
