"This girl, with our guidance, is likely to become an asset to the plan. The Uchiha clan won't let such a young child run around freely. Do you want me to investigate?"
Black Zetsu asked Madara proactively.
"No need. She's definitely in Konoha. Go to Konoha and investigate. Report back to me as soon as you have any news. You can go now."
Why? Why did I suddenly think of Rin when I saw that girl?
Just you wait, Rin. It won't be long now.
The space around him twisted, and his figure disappeared from the room.
However, he didn't go anywhere. He had actually returned to the Kamui space, lying on the ground and silently staring at the black sky.
He seemed to be lost in thought, or perhaps reminiscing.
A long while later.
"Naraku-chan, what's wrong? Were you attacked?"
Itachi looked around warily, but there was nothing unusual.
"No, I, I just… I just feel a little unwell."
Naraku didn't know how to explain it. She had too many secrets, and these secrets needed to be kept, especially from Itachi.
Itachi was stunned for a moment. He looked at Naraku, who seemed to want to say something but stopped herself, then looked at the smutty book on the bed. He seemed to understand something.
How cute is Naraku today? Why? I kind of want to…
Itachi looked at the pale-faced Naraku and shook his head. What was happening to him?
[Congratulations to the host, your favorability with Uchiha Itachi has increased, and you have obtained 50 currency.]
"Naraku, I'll help you lie down. You're not feeling well, so don't read these kinds of books. They're not good for your health."
Naraku finally caught her breath and saw Itachi pick up a book from her bed and put it away.
That's Make Out Paradise?! Who bought this to frame me? Am I that kind of person, Uchiha Naraku?
Don't even joke. What hadn't she had on her 500GB hard drive in her previous life? Would she really be so eager to read Make Out Paradise?
"This… no, I, I, I don't know where this book came from…"
Naraku, seeing Itachi's strange gaze, wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"It's alright, I'll keep your secret, Naraku."
Itachi looked at Naraku's embarrassed expression and gently stroked her head, as if he understood everything.
Uchiha Naraku: I'm so…
"Itachi-kun, you should go back and rest. I can manage…"
Naraku said through gritted teeth.
"It's no use trying to chase me away, I'm not leaving."
[Congratulations, Host, your favorability with Uchiha Itachi has increased, gaining 20 currency points.]
Itachi smiled gently and helped Naraku lie down on the bed.
Naraku's head was buzzing from the system's antics, and her body felt like a noodle. She really didn't have the strength to get out of bed and chase anyone away.
She could only pull the covers up, exposing her beautiful big eyes, and chat with Itachi in a soft voice, going back and forth with him.
It wasn't until she didn't know how long had passed that Naraku finally fell into a deep sleep.
Uchiha Naraku opened her eyes in a daze, and the sky had already brightened.
Naraku had slept pretty well last night, and even her headache wasn't that bad.
"Naraku, are you awake? Are you thirsty? Drink some water?"
Naraku was stunned. She turned her head and saw Itachi sitting on a small stool, which she didn't know where it came from, right at the head of her bed, holding a steaming cup of water.
Naraku froze for two seconds, surprised that he hadn't left yet...
At this moment, Naraku didn't know what to feel. How long had it been since someone had taken care of her like this, ever since her grandmother had passed away?
Every time she drank too much at a social gathering, she always woke up alone the next day...
Thinking of this, Naraku's eyes inexplicably welled up...
Something's not right, what's gotten into her today?
Naraku suddenly snapped out of it, she was never this sentimental.
Then, she suddenly remembered the 70 currency Itachi had contributed to her last night.
When did getting currency become so easy?
Damn… I didn't turn off my Heart of Charm.
So this is the so-called moral restraint? Truly terrifying…
Naraku quickly turned off the effects of Heart of Charm.
Sure enough, after the skill was turned off, that strange feeling immediately vanished without a trace.
"Thank you, Itachi-kun."
Naraku smiled gently, reverting to her usual green tea smile. She politely accepted the hot water that Uchiha Itachi handed her.
Naraku took a small sip. Hmm, the water temperature was just right.
This Uchiha Itachi is really interesting. It's like he could melt Sasuke with his gentleness, just like he did for his younger brother.
But when he gets serious, he'll make you experience three days and nights of nightmarish hell in the world of Tsukuyomi.
"Young Master Itachi, the breakfast you requested is ready."
Suddenly, an old man's voice came from outside the door.
Itachi happily moved Naraku's door to the side, then took the breakfast, and put the door back in its original place.
"Naraku-chan, I'm really sorry, I kicked your door last night and broke it. I'll get you a new one."
Uchiha Naraku: You're something else.
Hatake Kakashi arrived at the Uchiha clan's territory early in the morning. He looked around, and he was the only one on the entire street whose clothes didn't bear the Uchiha clan emblem.
A lot of people were looking at him strangely, and some even glared at Kakashi on the street.
It wasn't that the Uchiha clan didn't want outsiders to enter their territory.
It was because of Kakashi's Sharingan…
"Although the style hasn't changed, he's definitely not the Uchiha he used to be."
Kakashi's dead fish eyes looked at the buildings on the street, sighing with emotion. He used to always run to the Uchiha clan's territory to find Obito, the king of tardiness.
Unfortunately, Obito was no longer around, and even Obito's former home had disappeared from Konoha after the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack.
(I hope I can gain something today.)
Kakashi thought to himself.
However, he was overthinking things.
"Itachi-kun, I feel much better. How about we go to the training grounds?"
Naraku really wasn't feeling unwell anymore, but the lack of water energy made her feel uneasy.
"No, Naraku, you're staying home to rest today. I've already spoken with Father, and I'll be taking care of you today."
Itachi's attitude was resolute. He kept moving his wrists and fingers, as if his hands were very uncomfortable.
"We have to go meet the new classmates and teachers tomorrow, and you wouldn't want to be unwell, would you, Naraku?"
Seeing Itachi constantly moving his hands, Naraku ultimately didn't say anything more.
The secret of the Water Style's energy absolutely cannot be revealed to Itachi.
