Naruto: Uchiha's Harem

Chapter 38: Chapter 38: ‘Nee’ That Gives Pocket Money



"Rinnegan? Is this real?", Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly remembered that the 'Future Notes' mentioned that three years later, a ninja with the Rinnegan would come to destroy Konoha.

'Could it be the leader of the Akatsuki organization?'

"It should be correct."

"I understand, this information is very valuable. Thank you for infiltrating the enemy's territory," Sarutobi Hiruzen had long heard of the Akatsuki organization, which had been gaining fame in the ninja world, but he had never taken it too seriously.

Now, after hearing the information about the Akatsuki leader from Uchiha Itachi, he finally began to take it seriously.

"Moreover, they have been planning to capture the Tailed Beasts."

"Capture the Tailed Beasts? What use do a group of mercenary ninjas have for Tailed Beasts?"

"They claim it's for the ultimate peace of the world."

"World peace? That's probably just a tactic to win people over."

'This Akatsuki organization seems to have grand ambitions.'

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Since you've returned to the village, I'll arrange for you to secretly monitor and protect your younger brother, Sasuke."

Orochimaru hasn't returned to the village, but Uchiha Itachi, who was thought unlikely to return, actually obeyed the order and came back.

Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally wouldn't treat him poorly.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama, but the person I want to monitor is actually Uchiha Kage."

"Kage?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was somewhat surprised.

'Could it be that Uchiha Itachi is still bothered by the fact that an extra Uchiha child was left alive back then?'

"Hmm, Senior Kurenai's genjutsu is indeed very powerful, but it wasn't her who repelled me and Kisame earlier. It was this Uchiha Kage."

Removing this Uchiha Kage, who might threaten his younger brother's safety and Konoha's security, is the real reason Uchiha Itachi returned to the village.

"How is that possible? Kage just graduated this year. Even if he's a genius, he can't be compared to you, let alone surpass you...", Sarutobi Hiruzen thought Uchiha Itachi was exaggerating.

"Uchiha Kage is immune to my Mangekyō Sharingan, and in a direct confrontation, he even took Kisame's Samehada. He's definitely not an ordinary person."

"He's immune to your Sharingan? Is that true?"

Seeing Uchiha Itachi speak so seriously, Sarutobi Hiruzen also became somewhat skeptical.

"Yes..."

Uchiha Itachi recounted the entire process of his battle with Uchiha Kage, emphasizing that Uchiha Kage could use advanced ninjutsu like the Rasengan and completely ignored his Mangekyō Sharingan.

"I understand, but let's wait until he returns to the village."

Contrary to Uchiha Itachi's thoughts, the more Sarutobi Hiruzen listened, the more he felt that Uchiha Kage seemed like a unique genius.

'A genius who can't activate the Sharingan but is immune to it?'

Recalling how Uchiha Kage used traps to outsmart Aburame Ryoma earlier, Sarutobi Hiruzen found it increasingly plausible.

As for Uchiha Itachi's claim that Uchiha Kage has ulterior motives and might be a spy from another faction infiltrating the village?

Sarutobi Hiruzen wasn't entirely convinced. After all, Uchiha Kage was just a child a few years old back then. Even if someone wanted to plant a spy in the village, they wouldn't necessarily use the Uchiha identity, especially on the night the Uchiha clan was massacred.

"Yūgao-nee, are you still concerned about Hayate-senpai's health?"

On the way to the Land of Waves, Uchiha Kage and Uzuki Yugao were leaping across the water's surface, one after the other.

Since they had really left Hayate alone on the island in the Land of Whirlpools, Uchiha Kage was somewhat curious about Uzuki Yugao's thoughts on this.

"A little. He sometimes pushes himself too hard. As a ninja, especially an ANBU, being too stubborn isn't a good thing."

Uzuki Yugao expressionlessly evaluated Hayate, then glanced at the young boy beside her.

"Besides, if you really fought Hayate, you'd probably win."

As an observer, Uzuki Yugao could see Uchiha Kage's strength more clearly than Hayate, who was caught up in the heat of battle.

"Yūgao-nee has a lot of confidence in me."

"You..."

Uzuki Yugao turned her face away for some reason.

"Can you not call me 'nee'... Just call me 'senpai' or my name directly."

"Why?"

Uchiha Kage was a bit puzzled by Uzuki Yugao's reaction.

"Does Yūgao-senpai dislike me calling her 'nee'?"

"No."

Uzuki Yugao shook her head decisively.

"It's just... I've always wanted a younger brother. Every time you call me 'nee,' my heart races, and it affects my mission."

"Is that so?"

Uchiha Kage didn't expect to hear such a thing.

He instinctively glanced at Uzuki Yugao's profile and noticed her earlobes were slightly red.

'So this seemingly cold sister is actually quite shy.'

'Just being called 'nee' is too much for her...'

"Hmm, actually, every time you call me 'nee,' I can't help but want to..."

Uzuki Yugao took out her small purse.

"Want to give you pocket money..."

Unable to resist, Uzuki Yugao handed a bill to the young boy beside her.

"One thousand ryō? Yūgao-nee is so generous."

"I told you, don't call me that..."

Uzuki Yugao couldn't resist the impulse and stuffed another two thousand ryō into Uchiha Kage's hand.

"..."

Uchiha Kage looked at the three bills in his hand, both amused and exasperated.

He thought that if he kept calling her 'nee' for another half minute, this female ninja would probably give him all her savings.

Uzuki Yugao's reaction was so refreshing.

'Just calling her 'nee' earns money...'

'Wait, so her cold demeanor around me before was because she was holding back?'

'This is too interesting.'

"Yūgao-nee, do you know what an evil Uchiha is?"

Uchiha Kage decided to show Uzuki Yugao the dangers of human nature.

"Huh?"

Uzuki Yugao, who had just put her purse away, couldn't resist and stuffed another three thousand ryō into his hand.

"Nee nee nee nee nee..."

Like chanting a mantra, Uchiha Kage started calling Uzuki Yugao 'nee' repeatedly.

"Before my throat dries up, I'll keep calling you 'nee,' Yūgao-nee."

.

"This is the first time I've seen someone get so excited or shy from being called 'nee' that they faint."

Looking at the female ninja who had fainted on his shoulder from hearing too many 'nee's, Uchiha Kage's expression was also quite amusing.

But luckily, he had enough stamina and chakra. Even carrying someone, he quickly reached the Land of Waves.

"Has it started snowing? In that case..."

On the unfinished Great Naruto Bridge, Uchiha Kage soon spotted Kakashi and the others.

Surrounded by corpses, the watching citizens of the Land of Waves, Naruto, and Haku, whom Kakashi had personally placed next to Zabuza... and the snowflakes dancing all over the sky.

"What... what happened..."

At some point, Uzuki Yugao, who had fainted on Uchiha Kage's back, finally woke up.

"That's... a ninja from Kirigakure?"

Blushing slightly as she got off Uchiha Kage's back, she also saw the corpses on the ground and the two Kirigakure ninjas who weren't completely dead yet.

"It seems Kakashi-senpai has already resolved the issue in the Land of Waves."

As expected of Kakashi, even a powerful ninja like Zabuza was no match for him.

"Yeah."

'Great, we made it just in time.'

Uchiha Kage, using his Byakugan, saw the ninja fragments on Zabuza and Haku's bodies.

"Are they a couple?"

Looking at the two Kirigakure ninjas who wanted to be together even in death, Uzuki Yugao guessed.

"Maybe... they are."

Uchiha Kage gave Zabuza and Haku a strange look.

Indeed, if one didn't know Haku was a boy, these two would look like a couple willing to die together.

"If one day I could... never mind, that's too unlucky."

Uzuki Yugao wanted to say that if one day she could die together with Hayate like this, it wouldn't be bad, but she decided against it.

It's best to start dating and get married after retiring from the ANBU.

"Yūgao-nee, are you thinking about Hayate-senpai?"

"Yeah..."

Uzuki Yugao nodded, then gave the young boy a helpless look.

"If you call me 'nee' again, I won't have any money left to give you."

"It's okay, I've already put the money back in your purse. Consider it an advance on the wedding gift for Yūgao-nee and Hayate-senpai."

"You..."

She thought Uchiha Kage was a well-behaved boy, but after getting to know him better, she realized he's not honest at all and loves to tease people.

However, just as Uzuki Yugao was about to retaliate, Naruto, standing on the bridge, suddenly shouted at them.

"Hey, you two! Are you here to fight us too?"

"Naruto, they're ANBU from Konoha, here to reinforce us, not enemies."

Kakashi helplessly explained to Naruto that not every masked ninja is an enemy.

"Sorry, we'll leave Naruto and the others in your care."

Knowing it was Uchiha Kage and Uzuki Yugao, Kakashi finally relaxed and collapsed weakly to the ground.
