Furthermore, as an ordinary woman who was usually busy with her family, she had nothing she could teach her daughter.
It was hard to imagine that the pride of the heavens on the sofa, currently teasing her little sister, was the daughter of a housewife like herself.
Mebuki Haruno suddenly felt a bit of a failure.
Sakura didn't seem to need her at all while growing up.
"Mom, I want to eat fish tonight."
Sakura looked up at her mother, then turned her head to poke her little sister's forehead, saying with a smile, "Does little Mirai want to eat it too?"
"Yes!"
It was truly strange. Why did her blonde mother and brown-haired father give birth to two pink-haired children?
Could it be that one of their grandparents had pink hair?
"Got it, all you think about all day long is eating."
Mebuki Haruno waved her hand somewhat helplessly.
"Hehe, Mom's fish is just so delicious~~~"
Hearing her daughter's giggling voice, Mebuki had no choice but to head out to buy groceries.
But she didn't even notice that a helpless yet gentle smile had already formed on the corners of her lips.
Her child was very capable, and Mebuki didn't think she was more capable than her daughter.
In that case, she just needed to take good care of her child's daily life.
Night.
After eating and taking a bath, Sakura sat cross-legged on the bed with her hands clasped together.
Yang Release: Yang Clone!
A puff of white smoke rose in front of Sakura.
A clone that looked exactly like Sakura appeared right across from her.
Sakura looked at the clone in front of her.
The clone tilted her head and blinked, looking at Sakura with a face full of confusion.
The two stared at each other, neither speaking first.
"What are you pretending for?"
Finally, Sakura spoke first.
"Ara ara, I never thought you would actually let me out on your own initiative."
"This is truly a first."
The one in front of her was none other than Inner Sakura.
Inner Sakura sat cross-legged, looking around with a face full of curiosity.
"You know my current situation well. Behave yourself whenever I need you in the future, hear me?"
"In exchange, I'll let you out to play for a while on a regular basis."
"But no causing trouble!"
Sakura frowned as she looked at the fellow in front of her.
Because of Shimura Danzō's Kotoamatsukami, that Yin Release power, which was strong enough to alter one's will, had suppressed the clone's consciousness. This allowed Inner Sakura to use the clone's form to appear in the outside world.
Chakra is an existence based on the fusion of physical energy and spiritual energy.
The body is Yang, and the spirit is Yin.
Kotoamatsukami suppressed the clone's Yin Release, so naturally, another Yin was needed to replace the original Yin Release.
Moreover, since the Yang Clone itself evolved from the Shadow Clone, the wondrous utility of the Shadow Clone was something even Sakura found absurdly incredible.
Through various coincidences, Inner Sakura successfully broke free.
Unless Sakura completely gave up the Yang Clone technique.
But that was impossible.
"Hai, hai, hai, I get it."
Inner Sakura jumped off the bed and stepped into Sakura's slippers.
The size was just right.
"What do you want to do?"
Sakura frowned, looking at Inner Sakura, who seemed to want to go out.
"Can I?"
Inner Sakura scratched her head, looking at Sakura with a surprised face.
???
!!!
What the ****!
What is going on inside this damn girl's head!
Looking at the girl in front of her whose mind was full of dirty jokes, Sakura got so angry that she threw a pillow right at her face.
"Don't be so anxious, I don't even have the tools to commit a crime."
"And even if I did, it would probably be a fencing match with you."
"How disgusting."
"In this situation, it's better that we're both girls, at least that way it looks a bit more pleasing to the eye."
Sakura couldn't help but twitch her lips as she looked at the matter-of-fact Inner Sakura in front of her.
This girl, using her own face, was spouting dirty jokes without any restraint.
She really hadn't changed at all.
"You're not allowed to go out. What if you scare Mirai?"
Seeing Inner Sakura grab the doorknob, Sakura spoke up to stop her.
"Then why did you let me out?"
"Just to give me a notice?"
"Do you think I come and go at your beck and call?"
"If you won't let me go out, do you expect me to sleep in the middle of the night?"
Looking at Sakura who wouldn't let her open the door, Inner Sakura said with some annoyance.
Before Sakura could answer, the pink-haired, emerald-eyed girl's eyes darted slightly.
"Actually, sleeping is fine too."
"But~~~"
Inner Sakura looked at Sakura with some ill intent.
"What do you want to do?"
Sakura frowned slightly.
What kind of trick was this girl playing?
The next day.
A bit short of breath...
Sakura opened her eyes groggily, feeling a bit of difficulty breathing. She looked at the pink-haired girl who was pressing half of her body against her like an octopus.
Then, without any hesitation, she kicked her off.
The pink-haired girl fell straight to the floor, vanishing with a loud thud along with a scream.
Sitting up, Sakura rubbed her sleepy eyes.
Yesterday, Inner Sakura's request was very simple: she just wanted to cuddle with Sakura and sleep for the night.
Although a main body being cuddled to sleep by a clone sounded a bit ridiculous, Sakura agreed to it so that this girl would behave herself in the future.
Anyway, it was all herself, so she could just treat it as using herself as a body pillow.
"Sakura, what's wrong?"
Outside the room, Mebuki Haruno, who had gotten up early to make breakfast, seemed to hear some noise and came over to knock on the door, inquiring.
"It's nothing, I just fell off the bed."
Sakura scratched her head and spoke with a hint of sleepiness.
