Sleeping with Izumi

After dinner, the few people at the table left one by one, and naturally, I was the last to remain. Once everyone had departed, I helplessly reached out to catch the delicate fingers of the person beside me. Looking at her blushing cheeks, though I felt a bit resigned, I could only gaze at her with doting eyes.

Following that, I accompanied her to the room where she rested. Once inside, we shed our clothes, and I gently pulled Izumi into my arms. After a long while, once her excitement had faded, I stared at her quietly, watching as she slowly drifted into a deep slumber. That's right, the one sleeping with me tonight was not Mikoto, but Izumi.

After dinner, Fugaku had left with Itachi and Sasuke. I had originally been fantasizing about engaging in an intense "battle" with Mikoto tonight, but just then, Izumi beside me had turned bright red, her fingers incessantly twisting the hem of her clothes.

Finally, she looked up, the determination flickering in her watery eyes like a passing raindrop: "Senior, I want to be with you tonight."

These words struck Uchiha Chen's ears like a thunderclap, instantly shattering all the romantic atmosphere in his heart. He widened his eyes, filled with astonishment, unable to respond for a moment. This sudden request had completely disrupted his plans, catching him off guard.

He certainly knew that when Izumi said this, she didn't have many complicated thoughts in her mind.

She simply wanted to spend the first beautiful night after their confession with the person she loved, enjoying their intimate whispers to the fullest, dreaming of a bright future, and then falling asleep peacefully in her lover's warm embrace.

When he saw her slender hands tightly gripping his own hanging hands, he felt an incomparable determination in her gaze, mixed with a trace of imperceptible anticipation.

Facing such a cute girl, how could he have the heart to refuse?

Thus, he smiled and gently pulled her into his arms, saying helplessly: "Alright, I promise you, tonight it will just be the two of us."

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out to stroke her back and looked up, just in time to meet the encouraging gaze Mikoto was casting his way. He immediately shot Mikoto an apologetic look, his face showing that he was postponing their battle for the time being.

Upon receiving her understanding look in response, he leaned in and kissed her without hesitation, using a deep, passionate kiss to make it up to her.

Immediately after, under her teasing gaze, he walked into the room with Izumi. He would not do anything excessive to the still-immature Izumi; instead, he held her in the silver glow cast by the moon, quietly listening to the young girl's inner thoughts.

He listened to her describe her expectations for the future, her envy of Mikoto's figure, her worries about her own age, and finally, her deep hatred for Danzo.

Uchiha Chen silently watched the girl before him, whose eyes were filled with anger and lingering fear, and couldn't help but chuckle dotingly.

Hearing this indifferent laughter, Izumi couldn't sit still; she angrily sat up, turned to straddle Uchiha Chen, and began pummelling his chest like a spoiled child. Uchiha Chen did not resist, letting Izumi vent the fear in her heart.

When Izumi finished venting, her originally pale face gradually flushed with color. Uchiha Chen said dotingly: "Alright! Don't be angry anymore. I've already taken revenge, want to see?"

In Izumi's expectant gaze, Uchiha Chen's Sharingan slowly emerged, the tomoe in the center spinning gently, and a genjutsu immediately surged into Izumi's eyes.

Just as Uchiha Chen was about to construct the scene of how he humiliated Danzo today, he suddenly felt a force bounce the genjutsu back.

His eyes froze slightly, and as he came to his senses, he saw Izumi looking at him with confusion, as if asking: "What happened? Hasn't it started yet?"

Looking at the young girl straddling him under the moonlight, the Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun slightly in her eyes.

I said nothing, merely reaching out to pick up the forehead protector from the clothes nearby, handing it to her with a gentle smile.

"Congratulations, Izumi, you have awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan."

As I spoke, her gaze was filled with shock and disbelief, her pupils gradually aligning with the forehead protector in my hand.

When she confirmed that what I said was true, she immediately stood up from my lap in ecstasy, but suddenly her foot slipped, she lost her balance, and looked as if she were about to fall to the ground.

I noticed this keenly and quickly reached out to pull her into my arms.

Normally, Izumi should have been able to immediately perceive the changes in her eyes after awakening the Sharingan, but perhaps because she had awakened them immediately after witnessing my death today and then fallen into a coma, she had automatically deployed a defense when stimulated by my genjutsu just now. Thinking of this, I explained my speculation to Izumi in detail. Upon hearing these words, Izumi's ears seemed to filter out all other sounds, leaving only my death deeply engraved in her heart once more.

Thinking that because of Danzo, she had almost lost her senior, she was overcome with fury and ordered me: "Senior, the Sharingan is not important now, hurry up and cast the genjutsu on me again! I want to see with my own eyes how you humiliated Danzo." After saying this, she hid the Sharingan in her eyes and stared straight at me.

Watching Izumi, who had cast the Sharingan aside, I had no choice but to obey.

"Received, my dear lady." Before the shyness could reach her, she was struck by my genjutsu, and with her cooperation, this time the genjutsu was a resounding success.

In the genjutsu, Izumi excitedly watched me display my power in the Root base, forcing the high-and-mighty elder of Konoha, the leader of Root, the famous "Darkness of the Shinobi," to lick my boots, and the pent-up frustration in her heart dissipated instantly.

Even after the genjutsu ended and she returned to reality, she remained in my arms, unable to calm her excitement for a long time.

After a long while, Izumi, having calmed down, seemed to think of something and acted spoiled toward me.

"Sen~ior~, can you take me with you next time?" Looking at her little-devil-like eyes, I understood instantly what she wanted to do.

I made a promise without a care.

"Of course, next time I go, I'll take you with me." No sooner had I finished speaking than I felt a warm, soft sensation on my face. It was the sound of Izumi kissing my cheek. After kissing me, she immediately hid in my arms, shy and refusing to come out.

Helpless, Uchiha Chen could only watch the person in his arms as her breathing gradually leveled out and she fell asleep, eventually kissing the stray hair on her forehead, whispering "Goodnight," and drifting off to sleep as well.

Over the next few days, life was exceptionally peaceful. Every morning, after breakfast, Uchiha Chen would practice with Izumi to strengthen their abilities.

At noon, he would bring delicious Three-Color Dango and sweet Red Bean Soup to the hospital to feed Kurenai Yuhi, using this method to build up her favorability.

In the afternoon, he would stroll through the village to see if he could run into any familiar faces.

At night, he would rotate between the rooms of Mikoto and Izumi.

To his surprise, he actually saw several acquaintances over these few days.

First to catch his eye was the ten-year-old Kurenai Yuhi, walking alone ahead, followed closely by a slightly aged Asuma Sarutobi. The young mother of Sakura was holding the adorable Sakura, exuding a charming allure.

In addition, there were some people who looked familiar but whose names he couldn't recall.

Uchiha Chen did not rashly approach them to strike up a conversation, choosing instead to stand quietly to the side and observe everything silently. After all, the future was long; there was no need to rush.

This morning, the sunlight shone through the window, baking Uchiha Chen's cheeks and waking him up.

Uchiha Chen got up, stretched, quickly got dressed, and headed to the training ground as usual to accompany Izumi in her training.

However, when he returned home, he saw Mikoto holding Sasuke, walking slowly as if planning to go for a stroll.

This familiar scene flashed through Uchiha Chen's mind, reminding him of someone already destined—his future wife, Uzumaki Kushina.

He vaguely remembered that in the original story, the night Uzumaki Kushina met Mikoto, who was holding Sasuke, was the very night Naruto was born. This association made Uchiha Chen realize immediately: tonight might be the long-awaited Night of the Nine-Tails!

Thinking of this, Uchiha Chen decided it was time to take action. It was time to meet Uzumaki Kushina. Thus, he spoke without hesitation, expressing his desire to accompany Mikoto for a walk. Hearing his request, Mikoto readily agreed. Subsequently, the two of them, with the children in their arms, walked slowly toward the village like a happy, newlywed couple.
