[Is this tsundere?]
[Love at first sight, this is my husband now.]
[That look of confirmation.]
A whole bunch of question marks appeared on the screen.
However, Sparkle noticed that her Popularity Points were increasing at a rate that had actually caught up to when she was with Naruto.
Could Sasuke's "popularity boost" have the same effect as Naruto's?
"Of course. Girls have to look pretty, after all~" Sparkle smiled. "And I like the feeling of being restricted and bound, too. When my body is tightly wrapped up, I can feel the reality of the world's existence more clearly."
[What kind of wild nonsense is that? 2333]
[Miss Sparkle, I have a great Flower and Snake that I would like to enjoy with you~]
[Is this really something I'm allowed to see?]
[Are long-running stories this wild nowadays?]
"I see. Is this part of your training too?" Sasuke did not think anything strange of it. "But the Hyuga Clan should have its own training methods..."
At that point, Sasuke got stuck.
"Because of your eyes... Sorry."
Although he seemed cold and liked to put on a brooding act, Sasuke was not a heartless person. As someone with the Sharingan himself, he could better understand the sense of loss felt by a clan of ocular techniques that could not use their own ocular techniques.
[This counts as training?]
[It feels like Weighted Training Gear.]
[Restrained combat? I'm in!]
[The second male lead has a story too.]
[Am I the only one who thinks the surrounding destruction looks wrong? Isn't Sparkle good at Genjutsu? Can Genjutsu really cause this much destruction?]
[I took another look. What Sparkle is wearing really doesn't seem to be tabi. They're white stockings.]
[Are we really not done with this joke?]
"It seems Sasuke has just returned from training too. Would you like to have a simple meal together?" Sparkle invited Sasuke.
"No. I'm just changing locations. My training—" Sasuke glanced once more at the wreckage behind him. "Isn't enough."
[She said the same thing to Naruto last episode.]
[Rejected again, 2333.]
[Both the male lead and second male lead rejected the heroine. So, between the male lead and second male lead...]
[You people are too ridiculous. Sparkle was obviously just being polite.]
Sparkle tilted her head.
She really had not been merely polite.
It was not just Naruto and Sasuke. Sparkle also worked hard every day to maintain good relationships with everyone.
That way, when she inserted herself into any future plotline, it would not feel out of place.
And if she wanted to become an idol, she could not just be popular with the audience. She needed popularity in Konoha too!
A true idol had to be elegant in every respect!
As Sasuke's footsteps faded away, the screen went dark once more.
[Gaia!]
[See you all again in seven years.]
[That's it? Is it already padding in episode two?]
[I'm dying, here we go again. Every time there's a daily-life scene, people call it padding.]
[We have to wait another seven years.]
[It feels like ants are crawling all over me...]
The Danmaku gradually disappeared, and Sparkle received another message from the stage.

Classic Scenes Must Be Recreated
Negotiations with the production team have been completed.
Please choose one of the following as your salary.
1. Performance Outfit customization: Obtain a specialized three-star Performance Outfit suited to this show's theme. 2. Customized Performance Outfit modification: Upgrade a three-star Performance Outfit into a four-star customized Performance Outfit suited to this show's theme. (Cannot be used on keepsakes.)
The reward Sparkle had received at the end of the first episode had been quite generous.
However, the reward for the second episode was not much. Then again, she had not appeared much in this episode to begin with. It could even be said that she had been forcibly given extra scenes.
"These rewards themselves seem to be related to my appearance today. Could the rewards themselves be connected to that too?"
Sparkle and Sasuke had talked about clothing today, and this option had appeared once the episode ended.
There were too few clues. It was only the second episode so far, and the stage had not responded to her inquiries either.
"There's no need for another Performance Outfit right now."
What Sparkle wanted was Attention and Popularity Points. Those were what mattered most.
Upgrading her Kimono Outfit to four stars and raising its upper limit would be better.
Sparkle chose option two, and the equipment she wanted to modify was the Performance Outfit she was currently wearing.
Please describe your requirements.
"Primarily for training, while also allowing for everyday movement and combat. But most importantly, it has to look good and should feel as natural as possible."
Requirement list sent to Party B. Please wait.
It said to wait, but it was practically instantaneous.
Sparkle immediately felt the kimono she wore become incredibly light.
Kimonos were usually cumbersome and heavy, but now it almost felt as though she were wearing nothing at all.
It was light and barely affected her combat ability.
Performance Outfit—Sparkle Kimono Rarity: Four Stars A furisode kimono custom-made for Hanabi Hyuga. Increases Attention by 10% while worn. Training Mode: A mode that enhances training by restraining and limiting the body. Once activated, the body will remain in a continuous state of training. Chakra can be infused to alter the intensity of the restrictions and increase training speed.
"It really did become prettier."
At first glance, the kimono had not changed much. It was still a red furisode kimono. But upon closer inspection, its style had changed somewhat. The cherry blossom patterns had become Sparkle patterns resembling fireworks, and the bow behind her had grown a size larger, becoming brighter and more eye-catching.
Besides that, she had gained many Red Rope and bell decorations. Even her hairpin seemed more lavish.
The changes did not seem limited to the outside. There were internal changes as well.
"My, it really is worthy of being custom-made."
The original Performance Outfit had indeed come with a pair of tabi. But Sparkle did not like Japanese-style tabi, so she had always worn white stockings underneath.
She had even planned to wow the audience again later by revealing a little foot.
However, after becoming a customized version, the outfit's tabi had actually changed into white garter stockings according to her tastes.
"The shoes changed too."
The zori on her feet had originally been more like high-heeled slippers. Anyone who knew slippers knew that they were practically impossible to run in.
But now, Sparkle found that these zori fit her feet extremely well. Running and jumping were no problem at all, as if she were wearing sneakers.
"And then there's Training Mode... Hm?"
After switching to Training Mode, Sparkle immediately felt tremendous pressure on her body. Her originally rather loose clothes tightened in an instant, making it difficult for her to move.
"Oh my, I can't even take a step."
Her legs felt as though they had been tightly bound by ropes. Forget taking a step—she could not even shift slightly.
Her arms likewise seemed to be wrapped in invisible, heavy shackles. She could only clasp her hands together and let them hang before her body. Separating or lifting them had become extremely difficult.
When Sparkle moved her hands past her waist and behind her back, the force seemed to turn into a pull coming from behind. Once she relaxed, her hands would naturally settle into a behind-the-back prayer pose.
"It's as though an invisible force is wrapping around my body."
Since the clothing already fit closely to her body, no restraints could be seen from the outside. Sparkle tried to take a step, and after overcoming the resistance, she actually managed to move half a step.
"The shoes have become heavy too. I see. It feels like a combination of Weighted Training Gear and resistance training."
The outfit itself had become a restraint device, and she needed to use her own strength to resist the clothing in order to move. It really was a kind of training.
"Then what happens if I infuse Chakra into it?"
Sparkle infused Chakra into it.
But after infusing only a tiny amount, she felt the pressure multiply. This time, it even felt as if her entire body had been tied up and buried underground. At the same time, every part of her body, from her muscles to her internal organs, became incomparably heavy.
She could not move. She simply could not move.
"—Oh dear, it even has gravity."
After Chakra was infused, the clothing not only carried its own weight, but also had gravity. She had only infused a little Chakra, yet the gravity immediately doubled.
"It seems the basic state is enough."
She was only twelve years old, and the basic state was already sufficient. Forcing herself to use greater intensity would only cause muscle strains, and gravity also put a burden on her internal organs. Until she had fully developed, it would be better to take things slowly.
"Hmm... No, that's not right."
Sparkle felt that something was off.
Even when she stopped moving, her body seemed to be continuously undergoing some kind of change. Because her perception had been enhanced, Sparkle noticed it.
"At first, I thought it was 'Weighted Training Gear,' but it's actually an ice bed."
After studying it for a while, Sparkle discovered the exact situation.
Simply wearing it allowed her to grow stronger automatically, and once she began training, the speed became even faster. There was even the training bonus from Jingliu's keepsake, the Eye-covering Black Veil.
The basic training speed was about the same as her usual pace, but after infusing Chakra, it became even faster.
In other words, as long as she wore this outfit for twenty-four hours a day, it would be equivalent to training continuously for twenty-four hours a day.
If Sparkle only used Genjutsu now, she was roughly at the level of a Chunin.
If she combined it with the Byakugan or Fire Release, she could reach the level of a Special Jonin. If she went all out, she would have no problem fighting an ordinary Jonin.
With this kind of training speed, her strength should increase faster than she had previously expected.
"Then next comes the class assignments at the orientation meeting~"
October 15 was the day classes would be assigned.
This was the date that appeared in the original television anime, not the late-March date many people believed. In Sparkle's current world, Naruto's graduation date was also consistent with the anime.
