Chapter 13: Sakura Blushed
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host! You have successfully unlocked the Danger Alert function.]
[You can now designate individuals you wish to protect by adding them to your protection list.]
This is amazing!
Sasuke immediately added Sakura Haruno and Ayame to the protection list.
With the system's girlfriend protection list set, Sasuke finally felt at ease.
"Ha~"
Sasuke yawned, feeling a bit tired.
Thanks to the Nine-Tails Chakra nourishing his body, even after last night's extensive activity, he was still in peak physical condition.
However, his mental energy was another story—exhausted and on the verge of burnout.
It was similar to pulling all-nighters gaming back in his previous life. Physically, he wasn't drained, but mentally, he felt spent.
Rest isn't just for the body—it's essential for the mind too.
'It seems I need to consider signing in to acquire some powerful **mental abilities**,' Sasuke thought. That way, he could stay energetic for days and nights without any rest.
...
But for now, sleep was the best solution.
The moment Sasuke allowed his mind to relax, exhaustion hit him like a wave.
He had no intention of dying from overwork; he had only just begun his happy harem life in this anime world.
As for his timid, dreary past life, Sasuke had no nostalgia whatsoever.
This life was carefree, exhilarating, and just how he liked it.
...
Returning to his room, Sasuke took a shower, changed into clean pajamas, and went to bed.
The world of Naruto was peculiar—simultaneously ancient and modern.
It was ancient in that there were no firearms, planes, or tanks.
Yet modern conveniences like televisions, washing machines, and microwaves were all present.
Living alone was surprisingly easy for Sasuke.
His Uchiha clan had left behind substantial assets. When Sasuke had the time, he planned to reclaim them all from the Third Hokage.
Everything that belonged to the Uchiha clan rightfully belonged to him.
...
By midday, the sun was shining brightly.
Naruto Uzumaki, still reeling from the events of last night, was sound asleep.
Even in his dreams, he muttered, "Sakura, don't leave me..."
"Sasuke, you're so damn annoying!"
...
Meanwhile, Sakura Haruno, who had gone to bed early the previous night after being utterly exhausted by Sasuke during the day, woke up in the morning.
Her parents had already left for work.
The Haruno household was fairly ordinary. Both Kizashi Haruno and Mebuki Haruno had jobs, which allowed them to support Sakura comfortably.
Still, they had to work to sustain their lifestyle. Ordinary people had no choice—no work meant no food.
On the dining table was a note.
"Sakura, we won't interfere or ask about your relationship with Sasuke anymore."
"As your parents, our only concern is whether you're happy and well-fed."
It was a rare moment of heartfelt expression from Kizashi and Mebuki Haruno.
Perhaps they had been deeply affected by Sasuke's presence last night.
"Breakfast is in the pot. Remember to eat."
Warmth flooded Sakura's heart as she read the note.
Despite often resenting her parents for being so ordinary—because in the ninja world, bloodline limits were incredibly important—she felt a deep sense of love.
Whether it was the Byakugan, Sharingan, or the secret techniques of clans like the Nara, Akimichi, and Aburame, even her childhood friend Ino Yamanaka had family techniques.
Yet, Sakura's family, though both her parents were ninjas, had nothing extraordinary to pass down to her.
...
However, falling in love with Sasuke and being with him made Sakura feel genuinely happy for the first time.
Last night, she had worried that her parents might not accept her relationship with Sasuke.
But now, eating the breakfast her parents had prepared, Sakura felt a warm sense of reassurance.
Having a boyfriend and gaining her parents' approval was truly something to be happy about.
After finishing her meal, Sakura eagerly headed to Sasuke's house.
Since Sasuke hadn't come to find her, she decided she'd go find him instead.
After all, Sakura had always been the one chasing after Sasuke.
Just because they were now officially a couple didn't mean she expected Sasuke to start pursuing her.
Sakura wasn't about to think that way!
...
The streets of Konoha were bustling today.
Sakura, carrying a lovingly prepared breakfast for Sasuke, made her way to his house with excitement.
Although she wanted to cook for him herself, Sakura was painfully aware of her culinary skills—or lack thereof. Even dogs would refuse her cooking, let alone her beloved Sasuke.
So she spent her allowance to buy something delicious for him instead.
In the past, Sasuke would always reject such gestures.
But now, as his girlfriend, Sakura was confident he'd happily accept.
...
To her surprise, when she arrived at Sasuke's house, he was still asleep.
Knocking on the door, she heard Sasuke groggily call out, "Oh, it's you, Sakura. Come in."
Sasuke looked utterly exhausted.
And why wouldn't he be? He'd barely gotten any sleep before Sakura showed up, knocking on his door.
"Dear, tomorrow is the ninja academy graduation exam. You can sleep in today, but you can't slack off tomorrow," Sakura said, leaning in to plant a kiss on Sasuke.
She adored him so much and was more than willing to shower him with affection.
"Tomorrow's the graduation exam?" Sasuke murmured, surprised. He had nearly forgotten.
He realized that he and Sakura hadn't even graduated yet. Tomorrow would undoubtedly bring some interesting events.
The familiar faces of Konoha's Twelve Shinobi would finally come together.
And, of course, Sasuke was especially looking forward to seeing Hinata and Ino.
...
Half an hour later, Sakura, who had intended to keep Sasuke company, fell asleep herself.
She stayed by his side until the afternoon.
That was until Sasuke's playful hands stirred her awake during an inappropriate moment.
Blushing furiously, Sakura glanced at Sasuke, only to be met with his sweet-talking and affectionate gaze.
As things heated up between them, Sakura found herself willingly and happily following Sasuke's lead.
They didn't stop until late at night.
Afterward, Sasuke personally went to the kitchen to prepare some Ichiraku ramen for Sakura.
Sakura was stunned.
"Dear, you can cook ramen? This is amazing!"
"Sasuke, you're incredible!"
