Lecherous Man

Psychology Clinic.

Outside the corridor, the sun spilled in, casting warm light and shadows.

A crowd of Uchiha ninjas stood in line, waiting and whispering among themselves.

"How long has Kurenai Yuhi been in there! Does a psychological diagnosis really take an hour?"

"Didn't Shota come out after just a few minutes?"

"You're still young, you don't get it. Men are naturally more patient with beautiful women. Besides... the fuller the chest, the more psychological issues there are, get it?"

"I get it, this doctor is a lecher!"

One Uchiha realized with a start.

Inside the office, Kazuhiko was discussing genjutsu with Kurenai Yuhi, exchanging ideas in depth.

Little did he know that today was another day his reputation was being ruined.

At this moment, he and Kurenai Yuhi sat facing each other, a genjutsu scroll spread out between them.

However, their attention was no longer on the scroll.

"I have a suggestion for improvement."

Kazuhiko pointed to the scroll for Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death, "If this technique is only used to restrain an enemy, it's a bit of a waste."

Kurenai Yuhi leaned forward, her expression focused: "Oh?"

She was wearing her signature red and white ninja combat suit today, her legs crossed, looking both capable and alluring.

"The genjutsu can be further refined to make the target experience a genuine illusion of restraint, deceiving the brain and utilizing bodily functions to make the opponent lose their breath."

Kazuhiko's gaze rested on Kurenai Yuhi's beautiful rose-colored eyes.

"Make the enemy suffocate to death within the genjutsu."

Kurenai Yuhi fell into deep thought.

She had never considered this line of thinking before.

Using Tree Binding Death to finish off opponents was her specialty.

However, she usually used it to interfere with the enemy's vision and tamper with their physical sensations, creating the illusion of being bound by a giant tree, before moving in for the kill.

But the concept Kazuhiko proposed was to rewrite cognition, essentially the Voodoo Death Effect.

Through the psychological suggestion of suffocating restraint, the target's brain becomes unable to distinguish "illusion" from "reality," accepting "I am about to suffocate and die" as fact, causing the brain and body to execute the biological process of suffocation.

"How did you come up with these things?"

Kazuhiko smiled slightly, saying mysteriously:

"Perhaps because I am a psychologist who has studied psychology."

"Psychology?"

"Want to learn? I can teach you."

Kurenai Yuhi was stunned.

"Can I learn it too?"

"Of course you can. You saw it when you came in; I'm very short-staffed here."

"Why me?"

"Because..." Kazuhiko's lips curled upward as he met Kurenai Yuhi's gaze:

"Senior Kurenai is truly a sight for sore eyes."

"How about it? Come try working here, the benefits are excellent~"

Kurenai Yuhi's cheeks began to flush; she felt that Kazuhiko was very aggressive today.

It wasn't the boost from his appearance or family background, but rather that his entire demeanor today radiated a unique charm.

She turned her face away, trying to hide her loss of composure:

"You, what kind of strange things are you saying..."

[Kurenai Yuhi's favorability toward you has increased significantly to: Trust (He is seducing me! He has feelings for me!)]

[Jonin-level trait extraction chance +1]

Seeing Kurenai Yuhi's reaction, Kazuhiko smiled.

She didn't explicitly refuse, so that meant she agreed.

It seems the fused [Maiden Killer] trait was exceptionally effective on Kurenai Yuhi.

"Then it's settled!"

Kazuhiko made the final call. Kurenai Yuhi's lips parted, but she said nothing, tacitly accepting Kazuhiko's arrangement.

The ultimate goal of any career is to become a civil servant.

The Uchiha Clan Clinic also enjoyed the benefits of a Konoha civil servant.

Kurenai Yuhi truly could not think of a reason to refuse.

Compared to the life of a ninja, which was precarious and required constant travel and sleeping in the wild, a Konoha civil servant position was clearly much more appealing.

"Senior Kurenai is only missing the high-level mission quota for her promotion to Jonin. I'll arrange the application for your establishment based on Jonin benefits; that's fine, right?"

Kurenai Yuhi pursed her red lips and blinked, still not saying a word.

However, [Deep Blue] confirmed it for him.

[Kurenai Yuhi's favorability toward you has increased significantly]

Kazuhiko was decisive, immediately taking out the application form to fill it out.

With a beautiful assistant like Kurenai Yuhi in the future, his Psychology Clinic would finally be looking up.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Kurenai Yuhi felt a complex mix of emotions; she composed herself and spoke again:

"The guidance mission and this matter... I've taken advantage of you. How about I treat you to a drink?"

Kazuhiko raised an eyebrow:

"A drink?"

Although he wasn't fond of alcohol, the suggestion was quite good.

As the saying went:

Liquor is the essence of grain; the more you drink, the younger you feel.

Truth comes out after a drink, and intoxication can lead to indiscretion...

"What, are you afraid I'll get you drunk?"

Kurenai Yuhi regained some of her playful spirit, looking at Kazuhiko with a challenge.

"I'm only afraid that Senior Kurenai's tolerance is too low, and you'll be down after one glass."

"Then tonight at eight, at Cherry Blossom Drunk. Don't be late."

Watching Kurenai Yuhi's figure disappear from the office, Kazuhiko leaned back in his chair, the corners of his mouth curling upward.

Spending Konoha's money to woo his own girl.

It really felt great.

Spring had arrived, everything was reviving, and it was once again...

"Ahayo~"

The door was pushed open gently.

A beautiful lady wearing a light purple kimono walked in.

Her long hair was tied up, revealing a slender neck, and she exuded a gentle and elegant temperament, with Itachi following behind her.

"Welcome, Clan Matriarch, and... Itachi."

Kazuhiko looked up from the application form, his gaze lingering on Mikoto for a moment before shifting to the expressionless Itachi.

Itachi had originally thought that meeting again would be awkward.

But when they were face to face, he found there was nothing to be afraid of after all.

His expression was calm as he bowed slightly: "Doctor Kazuhiko."

Mikoto smiled sincerely and placed the gift box in her hand on the table:

"You are too polite, Doctor Kazuhiko. Just call me Mikoto. Itachi was rude before; today I brought him here to apologize in person, and I also wanted to ask you to provide him with psychological treatment. These are our tokens of gratitude."

Kazuhiko glanced at the gift box; it was exquisitely packaged and clearly prepared with care.

"There's no need to talk about rudeness."

He stood up proactively and walked over to Mikoto and Itachi:

"Please, sit. Treatment is certainly no problem, but you can keep the gifts."

"Doctor Kazuhiko must accept them," Mikoto insisted, her eyes filled with earnestness, "This is just a small token of our appreciation."

Kazuhiko looked at her, then at Itachi, and suddenly smiled.

That smile didn't look like one for an ordinary patient, but rather carried a touch of intimacy.

"Sister Mikoto, you wouldn't mind if I called you that, would you?"

"In my eyes, Itachi is like a younger brother."

"There is no need for gifts. Even without a consultation fee, I would still help Itachi with psychological counseling."

In terms of seniority, Itachi was naturally Kazuhiko's junior.

Gifts and consultation fees were merely worldly possessions.

Doctor Kazuhiko was magnanimous and didn't care about such things; he wouldn't intentionally keep a little notebook to track these matters.

Of course, one must keep track of those who give gifts, otherwise, it would be easy to forget.

Mikoto was taken aback for a moment, her voice softening as she replied:

"Of course I wouldn't mind..."

[Uchiha Mikoto's favorability toward you has increased]

Itachi was somewhat surprised.

Since when did I become your younger brother?

He keenly sensed Kazuhiko's gaze, and upon seeing the sincerity in the other's eyes, he immediately felt at ease.

Anyone recognized by Shisui-nii surely wouldn't be a petty person.

"Then I will have to trouble Doctor Kazuhiko."

Mikoto bowed her head to express her gratitude.

Although she did not understand her husband's intentions, Doctor Kazuhiko was so... approachable, so it seemed there would be no harm in Itachi undergoing psychological treatment.
