[Is this tsundere behavior?]

[Confirmed it at first glance, this is my husband now]

[The look of confirmation]

A bunch of question marks appeared on the screen.

However, Hanabi noticed that the speed at which her Popularity Points were increasing actually kept pace with when she was with Naruto.

—Could it be that Sasuke and Naruto have the same "popularity boost" effect?

"Of course! Girls should be pretty and beautiful~" Hanabi said with a smile. "Besides, I also like the feeling of being restrained and bound. When my body is tightly wrapped, I can feel the reality of the world more."

[What kind of lewd words are these 2333]

[Miss Hanabi, I have a great work of Flowers and Snakes, and I'd like to discuss it with you~]

[Is this something I'm allowed to see?]

[Are the current long arcs this bold?]

"I see, so this is also part of the training?" Sasuke didn't think of anything strange. "But the Hyuga Clan should have its own training methods..."

As he said this, Sasuke himself got stuck.

"Because of your eyes... sorry."

Although he appeared somewhat cold and aloof on the surface, Sasuke was not a heartless person. In fact, as someone who possessed the Sharingan, he could better understand the sense of loss that came with being from a clan known for its dojutsu but being unable to use it.

[This counts as training?]

[Feels like it's just like training with weights]

[Restrained combat? I'm in!]

[The second male lead also has a story]

[Am I the only one who feels the surrounding destruction is wrong? Isn't Hanabi's specialty Genjutsu? Can Genjutsu have such destructive power?]

[I observed again, what Hanabi is wearing is probably not tabi socks, but white stockings]

[This meme is never going to end, is it]

"It seems Sasuke-kun has just returned from training too. Would you like to grab a bite together?" Hanabi invited Sasuke.

"No, I'm just changing locations. My training—" Sasuke glanced again at the messy scene behind him, "—is not enough yet."

[She said the same thing to Naruto last episode]

[Rejected again 2333]

[The male lead and second male lead both rejected the female lead, so, between the male lead and the second male lead...]

[You guys are too much, Hanabi was clearly just being polite]

Hanabi tilted her head.

She genuinely wasn't just being polite.

Not just with Naruto and Sasuke, Hanabi made an effort to maintain good relationships with everyone in her daily life.

This way, when she intervened in any plot later, it wouldn't feel out of place.

Moreover, to be an idol, it wasn't just about performing in front of an audience; she needed to have popularity in Konoha too!

A true idol was elegant and all-encompassing!

As Sasuke walked away, the screen turned black again.

[Gaia!]

[Everyone meet again after seven years]

[That's it? They're already padding the second episode?]

[LMAO, here we go again, people always say it's padding when it's slice-of-life]

[Gotta wait another seven years]

[I feel ants crawling all over me...]

The Bullet Comments gradually disappeared, and Hanabi received another message about the stage.

[Second Episode Broadcast Ended]

[Remuneration Settlement in Progress, Please Wait]

Considering that the main world is currently Naruto, I didn't use Inori Yuzuriha as the cover.

New month, please collect, vote for monthly tickets, and recommend, muah muah~

Thanks

Chapter Twelve: Classic Scenes Must Be Restored

[Negotiations with the production team are complete.**

Please select one of the following as your compensation:

[1. Custom Performance Outfit: Obtain a specialized three-star performance outfit that matches the theme of this anime series.]

[2. Custom Performance Outfit Upgrade: Upgrade a three-star performance outfit to a four-star custom performance outfit that matches the theme of this anime series. (Cannot be used on a Token.)]

Hanabi received generous rewards at the end of the first episode.

However, the rewards for the second episode weren't that great. She hadn't even appeared much in this episode, and her presence could even be described as "forced."

"It seems these rewards are related to my appearance today. Could it be that the rewards themselves are also connected to this?"

Hanabi and Sasuke had talked about clothes today, and this content appeared after the episode ended.

There were too few clues, it was only the second episode, and the consultation stage hadn't responded.

"Another performance outfit isn't necessary right now."

What Hanabi wanted was attention, she wanted Popularity Points, that was the most important thing.

Upgrading her own Kimono Outfit to four-star should be better for increasing her potential.

Hanabi chose option 2, and the equipment she wanted to upgrade was the performance outfit she was currently wearing.

[Please describe your needs.]

"Focus on training, with some elements of daily life and combat, but most importantly, it needs to look good and not feel out of place."

[The list of requirements has been sent to the second party.]

[Please wait.]

It was said to wait, but it was almost instantaneous.

Hanabi immediately felt the kimono she was wearing become incredibly light.

Kimono were usually cumbersome and heavy, but now she felt as if she was almost weightless.

It was light and barely affected her combat ability.

[Performance Outfit - Hanabi's Kimono]

[Rarity: Four-star]

[A custom Furisode kimono specifically designed for Hanabi Hyuga. Wearing it increases Attention by 10%.]

[Training Mode: A mode that enhances training by restricting and limiting the body. Once activated, the body will be in a continuous training state. Chakra can be injected to alter the intensity of the restrictions, increasing training speed.]

"It has indeed become very beautiful."

At first glance, the kimono hadn't changed much, still a red Furisode. But upon closer inspection, the style had some alterations. The cherry blossom patterns on it had transformed into a Sparkle-like fireworks pattern. The bow on her back had also grown larger, becoming more vibrant and eye-catching.

In addition to this, she now had many red rope and bell decorations, and her hairpins seemed even more ornate.

It seemed that not only the exterior had changed, but the interior as well.

"Oh my, as expected of a custom piece."

The original performance outfit indeed had tabi socks inside. However, Hanabi didn't like Japanese tabi socks, so she always wore White Stockings underneath.

She had also planned to amaze the audience later by "showing a leg."

But after it became a custom design, the tabi socks of the outfit had also been transformed into white thigh-high stockings according to her aesthetic preferences.

"The shoes have changed too."

The Zori on her feet were more like high-heeled slippers. Slippers, as everyone knows, make it almost impossible to run.

But now, Hanabi found that these Zori had become very "foot-hugging," making running and jumping no problem, just like sneakers.

"And then there's the training mode... Hmm?"

After switching to training mode, Hanabi immediately felt immense pressure. The previously quite loose clothing tightened instantly, making it difficult for Hanabi to move.

"Oh dear, I can't even take a step."

Her legs felt as if they were tightly bound by ropes. Not only could she not move her feet, but even shifting them was impossible.

Her arms also felt as if they were ensnared by invisible, heavy shackles, only able to be held together and hang in front of her. Trying to separate or lift them became extremely difficult.

And when Hanabi's hands moved past her waist to her back, she felt the force turn into a pull from behind. The moment Hanabi relaxed, her hands would revert to a posture resembling the "back prayer" of a Kannon statue.

"It's as if an invisible force is entwined around my body."

Because the clothing was already form-fitting, no restraint was visible from the outside. Hanabi tried to take a step, and after overcoming the resistance, she actually managed to move half a step.

"The shoes have also become very heavy. I see, it's like a weighted resistance training sensation."

The clothing itself had become a restraint, and she needed to use her strength to counteract the clothing itself in order to move. This was indeed a form of training.

"So, what happens if I inject chakra?"

Hanabi injected some chakra into it.

But with just a small amount, she felt the pressure increase exponentially. This time, she even felt as if her entire body was bound and buried underground. At the same time, Hanabi felt her entire body, from muscles to internal organs, become incredibly heavy.

She couldn't move, absolutely couldn't move.

"——Huh? There's gravity too."

After injecting chakra, the clothes not only had their own weight but also gravity. She had only injected a little chakra, and the gravity immediately doubled.

"It seems the base state is enough."

She was only twelve years old, and the base state was already sufficient. Forcing herself to use greater strength would only cause muscle strain, and the gravity also put a burden on her internal organs. It was better to take it slow before her body was fully developed.

"Hmm... no."

Hanabi felt something was off.

When she stopped moving, her body seemed to be continuously undergoing some kind of change. Because her perception had been enhanced, Hanabi noticed this.

"At first, I thought it was 'added weight,' but it turns out to be an ice bed."

After some investigation, Hanabi discovered the specific situation.

Once worn, she could automatically get stronger, and when she started training, her speed was even faster, with additional bonuses from the Jingliu token and the eye-covering black veil.

Her basic training speed was similar to her usual pace, but it was faster if she injected chakra.

In other words, as long as she wore this outfit for 24 hours, it was equivalent to training continuously for 24 hours.

If Hanabi only used Genjutsu now, she could reach Chunin level.

If she combined it with Byakugan or Fire Style, she could reach the Special Chunin level, and if she used everything, she could even contend with regular Jonin without issue.

With this training speed, her strength should increase more rapidly than she had previously anticipated.

"So, next is the explanation session for team assignments~"

—October 15th, this was the day for team assignments.

This was the date that appeared in the original anime, not at the end of March as many people believed. And the time Naruto graduated in this world was consistent with the anime.
