In the end, Naruto Uzumaki never got to satisfy his curiosity.
No matter how hard he tried, the Nine-Tails kept its nine fluffy tails wrapped tightly around its rear, refusing to let Naruto figure out whether it was male or female…
Seeing this, Hirofumi Ito couldn't help but make a guess.
Tailed Beasts probably didn't have genders, right?
So, the Nine-Tails likely didn't have that…
In other words, it was probably just smooth back there?!
Damn!
Now even he was getting curious…
The issue of Naruto and the Nine-Tails getting along was resolved pretty easily after that.
For now, Naruto could only borrow the Nine-Tails' chakra without being influenced by it. To fully unlock the Nine-Tails' form, though, Naruto and the beast needed to be in perfect sync.
But for someone like Naruto, that probably wouldn't be too hard.
Watching Naruto in the distance, still tugging at the Nine-Tails' fur, Hirofumi Ito had a feeling it wouldn't take long for the two to connect on a deeper level.
After all, with Naruto's carefree, bold personality, taming a tsundere fox like the Nine-Tails should be a piece of cake, right?
Heck, Naruto had already managed to win over Sasuke Uchiha, the ultimate tsundere…
Speaking of Sasuke, Hirofumi Ito and Fugaku Uchiha exchanged a quick glance, a faint smirk tugging at their lips.
Fugaku gave a subtle nod.
In an instant, Hirofumi activated his Mangekyo Sharingan!
"Sasuke!!!"
"Huh? What's up, Hirofumi?!"
But the moment Sasuke responded, he froze in place, completely trapped in an illusion!
Madara Uchiha, watching the scene unfold, raised an eyebrow in curiosity.
"What are you guys up to?!"
Hirofumi gave Madara a brief rundown of his plan…
After hearing it, Madara stared at Hirofumi like he was some kind of freak!
Who would've thought the Sharingan could be awakened that way?!
Using an illusion to stir up intense emotions, pushing someone to unlock their Sharingan—or even the Mangekyo Sharingan!
"Will… will this actually work?!"
Madara still couldn't believe Hirofumi had come up with such a wild idea!
Hirofumi just shrugged.
Updates aren't easy, so don't forget to share on 101 Book Network!
"Who knows? I'm just experimenting. But I've got a hunch that unlocking the Sharingan doesn't always need extreme emotions like hatred or despair. At the root of it all, it's about love!
Only the deepest love can spark the deepest hate. Maybe this time we'll find a new way to evolve the Sharingan…"
Madara nodded, intrigued, his eyes shifting to Sasuke, who was already deep in the illusion.
Meanwhile, Kakashi was being introduced to the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, by his father, Sakumo Hatake.
Hirofumi, on the other hand, focused on crafting his illusion.
This time, he was going all out for Sasuke!!!
The whole "night of the clan massacre" thing? Boring.
Sasuke only awakened a single-tomoe Sharingan after his entire clan was wiped out. But when Naruto used his Sexy Jutsu on him? Boom—two-tomoe. And when Naruto kissed him? Three-tomoe!
Clearly, if Sasuke was going to unlock the Mangekyo Sharingan, it was gonna be because of Naruto!!!
Poor Sasuke had no idea he was already trapped in an illusion—a carefully constructed one, tailored just for him by Hirofumi.
Inside the illusion…
Sasuke looked at Hirofumi curiously.
"Hirofumi? Why'd you call me?!"
"Nothing much! I just heard some pretty interesting news."
"What news?!"
"That idiot Naruto? Turns out he was born a twin. He's got a sister named Naruko Uzumaki!"
Sasuke's face twisted in confusion, his mind flashing back to when Naruto used his transformation jutsu to seduce him.
"Uh… this Naruko Uzumaki doesn't have, like, blonde pigtails, does she?!"
"Hahaha, I don't know what Naruko looks like now! I heard it from Uncle Minato!"
…
And so, inside the illusionary space, Sasuke's curiosity about this mysterious Naruko Uzumaki grew.
Time in the illusion passed quickly. A few months later, Team 7 was assigned a mission to the Land of Waves to protect someone building a bridge.
When they arrived, they were shocked to discover the client was none other than Naruko Uzumaki!
There she was—blonde pigtails, surrounded by a gang of samurai led by Kado, trapped in a small house, looking pitiful and helpless…
Without hesitation, Sasuke charged in!
In a flash, he took down Kado and the samurai with ease.
Looking at Naruko, kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down her face, her blonde pigtails trembling, Sasuke's heart skipped a beat.
He extended a hand to her.
"You okay? Not hurt, are you?"
"Wahhh…"
Naruko burst into tears, throwing herself into Sasuke's arms.
In that moment, Sasuke's heart raced!
It's love…
Oh no, I can't look away…
With Team 7's help, Naruko successfully completed the bridge in the Land of Waves.
During the mission, Sasuke and Naruko grew close, and since she was the Fourth Hokage's daughter, Naruko returned to the Hidden Leaf Village.
Almost a year later, Hirofumi Ito became the Fifth Hokage!
At Sasuke's house, the twelve strongest ninjas of their generation gathered.
"Hirofumi!!! Congrats, man! You're finally Hokage! Now we can really start making things happen!!"
"Yeah, it's time to shake things up in the Leaf Village…"
Hirofumi smirked, glancing at Sasuke.
"By the way, Sasuke! When's the wedding with Naruko?"
Sasuke's face flushed, and Naruko shyly lowered her head… though she kept sneaking glances at him.
Sasuke's heart raced, flustered.
"W-Wedding?! Uh… no rush! We've still got our dreams to chase, right? The ninja world isn't united yet!!
Hirofumi, instead of bugging me, why don't you ask that idiot Naruto when he's marrying Hinata?!
And you! Don't think we haven't noticed you sneaking around with Ino!"
