Naruto: Yandere Harem with Gacha System

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you, Aoba?", Although Ino's words were hesitant, the anticipation in her eyes was almost overflowing.

This cute appearance made Aoba unable to refuse.

"It's fine, anyway a big group of people is coming over later."

"Then I'll go," Ino was a little impatient.

"What about you two?", She then looked kindly at Shikamaru and Choji.

"Uh... we won't go, Choji, Konohamaru, let's go eat ramen," Shikamaru decisively chose to refuse, pulling Konohamaru and heading toward the commercial street.

"Eh? But I want to go," Konohamaru wanted to resist, but couldn't break free.

Shikamaru was a bit speechless, 'This brat really has no awareness.'

'If you dare to follow and be a third wheel, you'll probably get your head smashed in by Ino when no one's looking.'

"Ino, remember to meet at the training field this afternoon," After saying that, Shikamaru dragged Konohamaru away.

"Aoba, this is for you!", Choji stuffed a bag of chips into Aoba's hand and then followed after them.

Moegi and Udon hesitated after seeing this, but still chose to follow Shikamaru and the others.

Aoba looked at the fleeing group and could only shake his head.

On the way, Aoba also introduced Ino to Kurotsuchi's identity.

"Speaking of which, the ninjas from Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure have already arrived at Konoha, how come the ninjas from Kirigakure haven't come yet?", Aoba asked Terumi Mei.

Terumi Mei showed a slight awkwardness in her expression, "Although Kirigakure isn't far from Konoha, we still have to cross a sea, so it's normal for the journey to be slower. Unless…"

Terumi Mei's tone suddenly changed, becoming aggrieved, "Are you disgusted with elder sister and trying to drive me away?"

"I didn't mean that, I was just a bit curious."

———

Arriving home, Aoba went to the kitchen to cook.

Ino also ran in to help.

Because she often made her own bento before, Ino was still capable of handling some simple preparations.

Meanwhile, Yakumo and Kurotsuchi had already started sparring outside.

Terumi Mei and Hinata were watching from the side.

"Hmph! Let me see the strength of your Kurama clan!"

"I also want to see the strength of the Tsuchikage's disciple!"

After exchanging harsh words.

"Lava Style: Quicklime Congealment Technique!"

Kurotsuchi quickly formed hand seals, and then spat out a large amount of sticky white liquid.

This was her Lava Style.

But unlike the Lava Style of Four-Tails Jinchuriki Roshi, which had high offensive and defensive power.

Her Lava Style was mainly used for auxiliary control.

Kurotsuchi's Lava Style wasn't fast, and Yakumo easily dodged it.

But the next moment, Kurotsuchi leapt high into the air.

Formed hand seals again.

"Water Style: Water Trumpet Technique!"

She spat out a jet of water again, targeting the previously cast Lava Style.

The impact of the water quickly expanded the attack range of the Lava Style.

Seeing this, Yakumo quickly retreated, trying to get out of the Lava Style's range.

But she was still a step too slow.

Yakumo's feet were enveloped by the Lava Style, preventing her from moving.

Kurotsuchi let out a soft shout, clenched her right fist tightly, and simultaneously used the Weighted Rock Technique.

Like a cannonball, she charged at Yakumo, reaching her in no time.

"You've already lost," With that said, Kurotsuchi punched Yakumo.

But this punch directly passed through Yakumo's body.

Kurotsuchi's face changed dramatically, because her opponent's body was already dissipating like a wisp of blue smoke.

"Genjutsu? When?"

"When did you start thinking I didn't use genjutsu?"

Yakumo's voice echoed from all directions around Kurotsuchi.

Kurotsuchi suddenly realized, Yakumo was all around her.

She also seemed to be trapped by her own Lava Style.

She immediately tried to disrupt her chakra flow to break the illusion, but the surrounding environment didn't change at all.

"W-What's going on?", Kurotsuchi looked confused, but Yakumo had already closed in.

———

[Reality]

Terumi Mei and Hinata were already looking bored.

Because after casting one Lava Style technique, Kurotsuchi hadn't moved at all.

No need to guess, clearly caught in genjutsu.

After a while.

Lunch was fully prepared, Aoba headed out, intending to call everyone in to eat.

He found Kurotsuchi squatting on the ground hugging her knees, her eyes completely devoid of light.

She looked completely broken.

"It's fine, your Lava Style is already very impressive," Yakumo seemed to be comforting her, but it felt oddly off.

Just as he was about to call them in, he saw Shizune running over in a panic, "Aoba, Lady Tsunade urgently needs you."

———

"Sensei, did something happen?"

Upon hearing Tsunade urgently needed him, Aoba had to temporarily put aside his house full of girlfriends and rushed to the Hokage building.

Tsunade looked very grim, "Uchiha Itachi just sent back a piece of intelligence."

"What intelligence?"

Aoba was a little surprised.

Bang!

She slammed the table hard, "Rasa is planning to take advantage of the Chunin Exams to start a war inside Konoha Village. For this, they even hired an organization called Akatsuki to carry out an assassination operation."

"That's it? Then what?", Aoba had thought Pain was coming to seize rice or something, turned out to be just this?

"That's it? You little brat, how can you be so calm?", Tsunade frowned, while she was anxious and on edge, this brat was still being sarcastic.

"Wasn't this already expected? I'm more curious how Uchiha Itachi got the intel back," Aoba was really curious.

Tsunade paused at his words.

That's right. When they first decided to host a joint Chunin Exam with the major ninja villages, they had already considered the possibility of hostile action from other villages.

She opened her mouth, then decided to answer Aoba's question first.

"It was a special sealing technique. Uchiha Itachi sealed a genjutsu into the eye of a crow, and after I looked at it, I was pulled into a genjutsu world, where he gave me the intel."

'Transcription Seal, huh..."

"There's actually such a miraculous sealing technique?", Aoba feigned surprise.

"The Uchiha clan has a nearly thousand-year-old heritage. Some secret techniques aren't unusual. Let's get back to how to deal with Sunagakure's actions."

"If Sunagakure is preparing to start a war, then we just prepare for war," Aoba said it as if it was a matter of course.

"War...", Tsunade was somewhat hesitant.

Looking at Tsunade's furrowed brow, Aoba thought for a moment and asked, "Sensei, why do you think Sunagakure wants to start a war against Konoha at this time?"

Tsunade paused, "Because of resources."

This was the fundamental reason behind every Great Ninja War.

Aoba nodded, "That's right. It's because of resources. Sunagakure and Konoha belong to different factions, but Konoha has the best resources in the entire ninja world. Sunagakure is struggling even to survive. Two different factions will naturally fight over limited resources."

"What are you trying to say?"

"Sensei, what if Konoha and Sunagakure became one family, would there still be war between us?"
