Forgive me! Sasuke! This is the first time!

The next morning, inside the Uchiha compound, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, bringing a touch of warmth to the room.

Sasuke had long since risen; he knew today was an important day, as he was to attend the Ninja Academy.

He turned his head toward his sister's room next door. Uchiha Ruri's door was shut tight, and she seemed to be fast asleep.

But as things stood, his sister didn't seem to have taken his words to heart.

Sasuke walked on tiptoe to Uchiha Ruri's door, knocked gently, and called out softly, "Sister, are you up? We need to head out."

However, no reply came from within the room; only the sound of steady breathing proved that Uchiha Ruri was still in the land of dreams.

Sasuke sighed helplessly, guessing that Uchiha Ruri was already fast asleep.

But he also knew that today's events were important and could not be delayed. Thus, he knocked harder and raised his voice, "Sister, wake up! We're really going to be late!"

This time, there was finally movement inside. Uchiha Ruri rubbed her eyes in a daze, and seeing Sasuke standing at the door, she finally realized she had overslept.

"Oh no! I overslept!"

She rubbed her eyes, let out a yawn, and said with some embarrassment, "Oh my, Sasuke, why are you here so early? I haven't slept enough yet."

Sasuke looked at Uchiha Ruri's lazy appearance, feeling a bit helpless. She's several years older than me, so why is she still sleeping in?

He said resignedly, "Sister Uchiha Ruri, did you forget we're going to school together today? Get up quickly, or we'll really be late."

Under Sasuke's urging, Uchiha Ruri finally struggled to crawl out of bed.

"Alright, alright, I'm up, stop nagging." Uchiha Ruri muttered, rubbing her sleepy eyes, trying to shake off the haze of just waking up.

She let out a soft yawn, and a lazy atmosphere permeated the morning air.

Uchiha Ruri thought today was the weekend; those days where she could lounge in bed leisurely felt like they were only yesterday, and her internal clock hadn't adjusted from that relaxed rhythm.

"Sasuke, help me grab some clothes. The Third Hokage came to see me last night; diplomatic affairs are truly a headache."

Uchiha Ruri said lazily while combing her soft white hair.

"Sister Uchiha Ruri, you're older than me, so how come you seem lazier? I've been up for two or three hours already," Sasuke said, speechless.

Uchiha Ruri rolled her eyes and muttered, "Tch, what do you know? This is called strategic rest. Diplomacy isn't physical labor; it's mental work."

At this moment, a faint fragrance permeated Uchiha Ruri's room—the scent of Uchiha Ruri herself.

He looked around, searching for the clothes Uchiha Ruri had asked for.

Suddenly, his gaze landed on a pink garment. It was a dress that looked very soft and comfortable, embroidered with delicate patterns.

Sasuke's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Uchiha Ruri would surely look beautiful in this dress.

He reached out to grab the dress but accidentally bumped into a pile of stacked clothing. The pile wobbled, and a small piece of undergarment fell out.

Sasuke froze instantly, his face turning bright red.

He hurriedly picked up the undergarment, his heart in a panic. He hadn't expected to see such a thing in Uchiha Ruri's room, let alone pick it up with his own hands.

"Cough, cough, Sister Uchiha Ruri, I found your clothes." Sasuke tried hard to calm his emotions, making his voice sound as natural as possible.

Uchiha Ruri took the clothes and, seeing Sasuke's flushed face, immediately understood what had happened.

She couldn't help but laugh out loud, teasing, "Yo, little brother Sasuke, why is your face so red? Did you see something you shouldn't have?"

Sasuke felt even more embarrassed by Uchiha Ruri's words, and he stammered, "No, nothing, it's just, just suddenly a bit hot."

"Hot? Where is it hot?" Uchiha Ruri raised her eyebrows curiously. She walked over to Sasuke and tested his forehead with the back of her hand. "Huh, the temperature is normal; no fever."

Sasuke awkwardly wanted to find a hole to crawl into. He lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Uchiha Ruri's eyes, which seemed to see through everything.

He mumbled, "I, I meant, the room is a bit stuffy; maybe it's not ventilated."

Uchiha Ruri looked at Sasuke's awkward state and couldn't help but find it funny.

She teased him on purpose, "Oh, so the room is stuffy. Should I open the window for you to get some air?"

Sasuke felt even more embarrassed by Uchiha Ruri's words, and he stammered, "No, nothing, it's just, just suddenly a bit hot."

A blush spread across his face, and he secretly felt annoyed—how could he act so composedly in front of Uchiha Ruri?

Uchiha Ruri looked at Sasuke's flustered appearance, a hint of playfulness flashing in her eyes. She walked gently to Sasuke's side and said with feigned seriousness, "Little brother Sasuke, did you see something you shouldn't have in the room, and now you're shy?"

Sasuke's cheeks burned even hotter, and he hurriedly waved his hands to deny it: "No, nothing, I didn't see anything."

His voice trembled slightly, and he prayed silently that Uchiha Ruri wouldn't continue this topic.

Uchiha Ruri looked at Sasuke's panicked state and couldn't help but laugh. She patted Sasuke on the shoulder and said, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. I know you didn't mean it, so don't explain."

Sasuke let out a sigh of relief and looked at Uchiha Ruri gratefully. He secretly rejoiced that Uchiha Ruri hadn't kept pressing him, or he really wouldn't have known how to explain it.

"Sister Uchiha Ruri, hurry up and get up; I'll wait for you outside." Sasuke changed the subject, wanting to leave this embarrassing place as soon as possible.

Uchiha Ruri nodded and said with a smile, "Alright, I'm getting up now. Wait a moment."

Sasuke let out a sigh of relief and turned to walk out of Uchiha Ruri's room. He stood outside the door, still feeling a bit uneasy.

"A kid is still a kid; it's truly cute when they get flustered." Uchiha Ruri muttered softly, a gentle smile tugging at the corner of her lips.

Then, she closed her eyes slightly, as if thinking about something, and whispered, "System, draw a card."

As if an invisible force were responding to her, a subtle ripple suddenly appeared in the air. "Congratulations to the host for drawing the Yin-Yang Androgyny Technique! From now on, you never have to worry about anyone discovering you're a cute girl with a big package!"

"Function of the technique: Allows for the arbitrary switching of male and female bodies; this technique is incredibly powerful and breathtaking. It enables the user to easily bridge the gender gap, experience the lives and emotions of different genders, and feel the beauty of the intertwining of masculinity and femininity. Whether it is a heroic male form or a graceful female state, one can transform at will, as if mastering a marvelous magic, allowing one to comprehend the diversity and wonder of life through transformation."

"What the hell?" Liuli was stunned. "Androgynous?"

Liuli carefully read the skill description: switch between male and female genders at will.

He could already imagine himself changing gender as he pleased, experiencing different lives; it was simply an indescribably wonderful feeling.

He immediately began to try using this ability. Her body began to glow slightly, as if a mysterious power were flowing within her.

Then, her body began to undergo a marvelous change; the originally petite frame gradually became taller, and the lines became more masculine.

Liuli looked at herself in the mirror, feeling somewhat incredulous.

Now, she had turned into a handsome and dashing man, with a sense of unruliness and confidence revealed between his brows.

She reached out and touched her cheek; that rough texture made her even more certain that she had truly become another person.

"Long time no see, male form," Liuli sighed.

He tried walking a few steps, feeling the strength and flexibility of the new body.

Although still a bit unaccustomed, she believed that as time passed, she would gradually get used to this new self.

"This ability is not bad; I'll use it to disguise myself as a man to stir up trouble in the future," Liuli muttered to herself.

After a while, Liuli walked out of the room.

She was wearing a simple white dress, the hem swaying gently. Her white hair draped over her shoulders, shimmering with a silvery luster that formed a sharp contrast with the pure white of the dress, making her look even more fresh and refined.

At this moment, Liuli had completely integrated into this world, becoming a true "her." In Konoha, a place filled with the aura of ninjas, she could only appear as a woman, but she had gradually adapted to this change.

Having transmigrated here, she had gradually become familiar with this female body and could switch to a male body at any time.

"Let's go, let's go have breakfast together," Liuli said to Sasuke with a smile.

Her voice was gentle and sweet, like a morning breeze brushing across the heart, making one feel incredibly comfortable.

Sasuke nodded. His gaze lingered on Liuli for a moment, then he silently followed behind her, heading toward the dining room together.

On the way, Sasuke tried hard to calm his mood. What happened just now made him feel a bit awkward, but now he didn't want to think about those things anymore.

"Sasuke, let me ask you a sincere question: do you want to go to the Ninja Academy?" Liuli asked suddenly.

Her voice revealed a hint of concern and expectation.

Hearing this, Sasuke was slightly taken aback; he didn't expect Liuli to ask this question suddenly.

He was silent for a while, then slowly opened his mouth: "Actually, I don't really want to go to school in the village, but since you are a teacher in Konoha teaching people, I still want to give it a try."

Sasuke's voice was a bit low, as if carrying the struggle and confusion in his heart.

Liuli listened quietly, her gaze soft, as if she could perceive every subtle change in Sasuke's heart.

She gently ruffled Sasuke's hair, her voice warm and soothing: "Don't worry, the past is in the past. With your sister here, don't worry about any extra things."

Sigh, what a pitiful child, it's all Itachi's fault!

Sasuke looked up at Liuli, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He knew that he had always carried a heavy past; those painful memories were like invisible shackles, binding his soul.

However, with Liuli's company, he saw understanding and acceptance, and he also saw hope and courage.

"Sister Liuli, I know you want me to have a better future, and I also know that the village school has better educational resources and environment," Sasuke took a deep breath and continued, "but I am still a bit afraid and uncertain. I am afraid of facing those unfamiliar environments and people, and I am also worried that I won't be able to adapt to life there."

Liuli gently held Sasuke's hand, giving him warm support. She understood that the struggle and confusion in Sasuke's heart could not be solved easily.

She needed to give him enough time and space to face and solve these problems himself.

"Sasuke, you have to believe in yourself; you have enough courage and wisdom to face future challenges," Liuli poked Sasuke on the forehead with her finger. "Besides, you are not alone. No matter what path you choose, believe in yourself!"

Listening to Liuli's words, the confusion and anxiety in Sasuke's heart gradually dissipated.

He knew that with Liuli by his side, he no longer needed to worry about those extra things.

He could safely and boldly try new lives and challenges, though there was still more hesitation.

"Thank you, Sister Liuli," Sasuke said softly. "I will work hard and won't let you down."

"Forgive me, Sasuke, this is the first time, let you try a new kind of courage."

Liuli's voice was soft yet firm, like a spring breeze brushing across a lake, carrying a warm power.

Sasuke looked up, his gaze meeting Liuli's. Her eyes revealed encouragement and expectation, as if saying: "You can do it, Sasuke." He took a deep breath, feeling this trust and support from his sister.

Deep in Sasuke's heart, there had always been a fear of the unknown and a resistance to change.

He was used to living in his own way, afraid of trying new things, and worried that he wouldn't be able to adapt to a new environment.

However, Liuli's words were like a clear stream, washing away the doubts and anxieties in his heart.

"Okay, I will be brave enough to try," Sasuke took a deep breath, looking at Liuli with a firm gaze.

Although his voice was slightly trembling, his words revealed an unprecedented determination.

Liuli looked at Sasuke, her eyes shining with appreciation and gratification. She knew that Sasuke had always been a child who was strong inside but silent on the outside; he was always accustomed to hiding his emotions and was unwilling to easily show his vulnerability.

However, at this moment, he chose to bravely face his fears and try the things that once made him shrink back.

"Sasuke, you are truly brave," Liuli said gently, her voice like a spring breeze brushing across a lake, bringing Sasuke endless warmth and strength. "I know this is not easy for you, but you must believe that every attempt is an opportunity for growth."

Sasuke nodded, his heart filled with gratitude and trust. He knew that Liuli was not only his sister but also his guide on the path of life, and the last person left in the clan.

"Sister Liuli, thank you," Sasuke said softly, his voice revealing a deep sense of being moved. "I will remember your words and work hard to try new things, making myself braver."

Liuli smiled and patted Sasuke on the shoulder, her movements gentle yet firm, as if telling him: "Go for it! Just charge ahead!"
