Hanabi, are you sure you want to get close to my big sister?

Yugakure, located below the Land of Rivers, is a village renowned for its pacifism.

Far from the smoke of war, it feels like a paradise, attracting countless souls who yearn for peace.

Yet, even in such a seemingly tranquil village, the arrival of outsiders often stirs up unexpected ripples.

Today, this peaceful village, cradled by mountains and murmuring springs, welcomed a group of special guests.

They were travelers from afar: Uchiha Hanabi, Gojo Rin, and Teacher Gojo.

After trekking across mountains and rivers, the trio had finally arrived at this legendary place of serenity and calm, ready to enjoy the comforts of the hot springs.

Beside the springs, steam rose and the water shimmered. Under the warm hospitality of the villagers, Uchiha Hanabi and Gojo Rin had already eagerly changed into light yukatas.

Their faces beamed with anticipation and joy, ready to soak in the wonderful hot spring and wash away the fatigue of their journey.

In this scene, Teacher Gojo stood to the side, preparing to drop his pants and join them for a look.

Suddenly, Uchiha Hanabi turned her head and said to Teacher Gojo, "Teacher Gojo, you are a man, and Rin-chan and I are women, so don't you dare disturb us. Otherwise, I guarantee there will be some dangerous consequences for what you have down there."

Her tone carried a hint of mischief and warning, leaving Teacher Gojo stunned.

Hearing Uchiha Hanabi's words, Teacher Gojo felt a bit awkward.

He immediately realized his actions might be misinterpreted, so he quickly explained, "Ah, sorry, I just wanted to watch you practice, nothing else."

His voice was awkward, yet tinged with helplessness.

"Of course, I could also do something for Teacher Gojo." Uchiha Hanabi smiled as she pulled a small blade from the void; the confidence and composure in her movements seemed to herald some kind of impending transformation.

Her eyes sparkled with determination and anticipation, as if hinting at her resolve and capabilities to Teacher Gojo.

Teacher Gojo looked at Hanabi before him, his brow furrowed, an inexplicable emotion welling up in his heart.

He knew that as an elite of the Uchiha Clan, Hanabi possessed great strength and wisdom.

However, he did not want Hanabi to get involved in unnecessary trouble.

Especially when facing things that might bring pain and harm, he hoped Hanabi would remain calm and rational.

"Hanabi, you make things very difficult for me by doing this." Teacher Gojo sighed, his tone laced with helplessness. "I wouldn't feel any pain, but the original body would taste it, right?"

Upon hearing this, Hanabi chuckled softly, as if she had long anticipated such a reaction from Teacher Gojo.

She shook her head, her tone revealing a sense of ease and delight: "I am just a Shadow Clone, what does my Shadow Clone business have to do with the original body?" She spread her hands, seemingly expressing her innocence and helplessness.

Watching Hanabi's relaxed and carefree demeanor, Teacher Gojo couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness.

He knew that although Hanabi was a Shadow Clone, the things she did and the responsibilities she bore were closely linked to the original body.

"Hanabi, oh Hanabi, you are playing way too hard." Teacher Gojo looked at the Uchiha Hanabi before him and shook his head helplessly.

His tone was filled with frustration and worry regarding Hanabi's behavior, seemingly concerned that her actions would bring unnecessary trouble upon herself.

However, Hanabi did not seem to care about Teacher Gojo's worries.

She gently placed the small blade back into the void, a joyful smile appearing on her face. She looked at Teacher Gojo, the corner of her mouth curling into a mischievous arc, as if to say, "Anyway, since the original body became a trap after crossing over, wouldn't he quite like it if I cut it off?"

Upon hearing this, Teacher Gojo felt speechless. He knew that the "original body" Hanabi referred to was her true self, Uchiha Ruri.

And that "trap" was Hanabi's playful term for the gender transformation the original body underwent after crossing over.

Although Teacher Gojo did not approve of such behavior, he knew Hanabi's personality well and understood that once she decided on something, it was hard to change.

"The original body wants to be a girl again, and in the Naruto World, her identity is already that of a girl to outsiders. If she didn't want to be a girl, why would she create me, Hanabi? Can't you tell the original body has wanted to be a girl for a long time?"

Hanabi continued, her tone filled with confidence and joy. She seemed very satisfied with her actions, even finding a sense of enjoyment in them.

Listening to Hanabi's words, Teacher Gojo felt a wave of helplessness.

He knew that everything Hanabi said was true; the original body did indeed have a desire to become a girl.

However, this did not mean Hanabi could arbitrarily do outrageous things to satisfy the original body's wishes.

"After the Shadow Clone Technique is dispelled, the pain isn't much; the entire experience of Six Paths Sasuke was already far more painful than this." Hanabi continued, a joyful smile still on her face.

She did not seem to take pain seriously, instead viewing it as a form of amusement and enjoyment.

Watching Hanabi's joyful expression, Teacher Gojo felt a pang of worry.

He knew that while Hanabi possessed great strength and wisdom, her overly optimistic and casual attitude could very well lead her into danger.

"If you do this, won't the original body recall you early?" Gojo Satoru cupped his chin, looking at Hanabi with a playful, teasing smile.

He seemed to enjoy this dialogue with Hanabi, as if he were appreciating a brilliant performance.

Hearing this, Hanabi smiled dismissively. She shook her head and said, "Impossible. The original body wants to be the mastermind behind the scenes in the Naruto World; how could she possibly recall Hanabi?"

Her tone was filled with confidence and certainty, as if she had absolute faith in her judgment.

Gojo Satoru looked at Hanabi's confident appearance and couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness.

He knew that although Hanabi sometimes acted out of line, her wisdom and strength could not be ignored. Moreover, her understanding of and loyalty to the original body were beyond doubt.

"Hanabi-chan, are you really not afraid that the original body will be angry? After all, your behavior this time is a bit excessive."

Gojo Satoru tried to use a more serious tone to remind Hanabi, hoping she would realize the potential consequences of her actions.

However, Hanabi did not seem to care about Gojo Satoru's warning. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Teacher Gojo. I have my own sense of proportion. Although the original body is sometimes dissatisfied with my behavior, she also knows I do it for her own good. Besides, my actions this time were carefully considered, not a momentary impulse, and they just happened to help the original body fulfill a wish."

Gojo Satoru looked at Hanabi's earnest expression, unable to suppress a surge of surprise.

He had not expected Hanabi to take this matter so seriously, nor had he expected her to find such a logical justification for her own actions.

"Then, can you tell me the true purpose of your actions this time?" Gojo Satoru asked curiously. He wanted to know what goal Hanabi was trying to achieve by behaving this way.

At these words, a glimmer of cunning flashed in Hanabi's eyes. She smiled and said, "Actually, I just wanted to see if the original could withstand this kind of stimulation. After all, he has always wanted to become a girl, right? I just helped him out—isn't that great?"

"How great is it? Helping the second brother get snipped just so you can get your kicks, Hanabi?"

Uchiha Ruri's voice, laced with mockery and teasing, drifted gently into their ears.

By the tranquil hot spring, her words were like a sudden breeze, shattering the surrounding peace.

Hearing this, Hanabi's face flushed slightly. She instinctively looked toward the hot spring, which was exactly where Uchiha Ruri was located.

The steam from the hot spring swirled around, as if draping Ruri in a hazy veil that made it impossible to see her true expression.

"Nonsense, I, Hanabi, am no troll; this is slander against this Hanabi."

Hanabi walked over to Ruri's side, pretending to cry as she acted cute. Her voice carried a hint of coquetry, as if she were begging Ruri for mercy.

Watching Hanabi's display, Ruri couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and gently patted Hanabi's head, her soft movements filled with doting and helplessness. Her voice was warm and gentle as she said, "Alright, stop messing around. I know you aren't a troll, you just like to joke."

At this, the corners of Hanabi's mouth curled up, revealing a smug smile. Seeing that Ruri had no intention of blaming her, she felt relieved and continued to act spoiled: "Original, Hanabi is your loyal Shadow Clone, and I've always admired your boyish image. It was so hard for me to gain an independent personality and freedom; you won't reclaim Hanabi, will you?"

Looking at Hanabi's expectant eyes, a wave of warmth surged in Ruri's heart.

She smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Hanabi. You are my Shadow Clone, and you are a part of me. I will respect your independent personality and will not reclaim you at will."

Hearing this, the stone in Hanabi's heart finally fell to the ground.

She looked at Ruri with gratitude, a firm light flickering in her eyes as she said, "Thank you, Original. I will continue to train hard, become a stronger ninja, and share more of the burden for you."

Ruri felt a glimmer of gratification upon hearing this. She knew that although Hanabi liked to joke sometimes, her heart was incredibly strong and persistent.

She believed that as long as Hanabi kept working hard, she would surely become an outstanding ninja.

Just then, Hanabi suddenly changed the subject, saying with a touch of mischief, "If you do reclaim Hanabi, congratulations on provoking the easiest person to bully in the Naruto World."

Her words carried a hint of provocation and jest, as if she were testing Ruri's bottom line.

Ruri couldn't help but laugh at this.

Watching Hanabi's quirky and eccentric behavior, a desire to tease her stirred in Ruri's heart.

She feigned seriousness and said, "Oh? Is that so? Then I'd like to see just how formidable you, the easiest person to bully, really are."

Hanabi's eyes widened immediately, as if she had been startled by Ruri's words.

She waved her hands hurriedly and said, "Original, don't be like this, I was just joking. I don't want to actually be bullied by you."

Seeing Hanabi's panicked state, Ruri's desire to tease her grew even stronger. She spread her hands, putting on an innocent expression with a playful smirk, and said, "Weren't you going to help me get snipped? I'm already gone now, dare you believe it?"

Hanabi froze instantly. Looking at Ruri's teasing eyes, an inexplicable panic surged in her heart. She had only intended to make a joke, never expecting that she would amuse Ruri so much that she would start teasing her in return.

"Original, you... don't be like this," Hanabi stammered, a blush spreading across her face. She knew she had really gone too far this time and quickly explained, "I... I was just joking, I didn't think you would actually..."

Seeing Hanabi's flustered appearance, Ruri's urge to tease her intensified. She deliberately stiffened her face and said with a straight face, "Joking? This kind of joke shouldn't be made lightly. I am very serious."

Hanabi was left at a loss by Ruri's words, not knowing how to respond.

Looking at Ruri's earnest gaze, she felt a sense of panic. Knowing she had truly annoyed Ruri this time, she quickly lowered her head and admitted her fault: "I'm sorry, Original, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have made that kind of joke."

Watching Hanabi lower her head in apology, the urge to tease her gradually dissipated.

Ruri sighed softly and said, "Forget it, I know you didn't mean it. But it's best to make fewer jokes like that in the future."

Hanabi nodded quickly in agreement: "Yes, Original. I will be careful from now on."

Seeing Hanabi's obedient demeanor, Ruri's anger slowly subsided.

She knew that although Hanabi liked to joke sometimes, she was essentially a good child.

She decided to give Hanabi a chance to prove that she had realized her mistake.

Thus, Ruri deliberately stiffened her face and said in a serious tone, "Since you have realized your mistake, then show me some proper behavior. Don't let me down again." Although her words carried a hint of reproach, they were filled more with expectation and encouragement for Hanabi.

Thus, Ruri deliberately stiffened her face and said in a serious tone, "Since you have realized your mistake, then prove it with your actions. Don't let me down again."

Her eyes revealed expectation and concern for Hanabi; though her tone was stern, her heart was full of understanding and tolerance.

Seeing this, Hanabi understood Ruri's intention, so she nodded sincerely and said happily, "Original, I understand. I will prove my change with my actions. Besides, the Original is also a girl now, so our understanding should be even deeper, right? In the future, we can share little girl secrets and get along more reasonably, right?"

Ruri nodded slightly, a smug smile on her face, as if she were proud of her gender.

She admitted without hesitation, "That's right, I am a girl now."

This statement revealed a sense of confidence and firmness, as if she had a clear understanding of her own identity.

At this moment, her gaze turned to Hanabi, who was standing to the side, a mischievous light flickering in her eyes.

She asked playfully, "Hanabi, do you want to get close and snuggle with your big sister?"

As she spoke, she deliberately pointed her finger at her own full chest, as if showing off her feminine charm to Hanabi.

Watching Ruri's actions, Hanabi couldn't help but show an embarrassed expression. She looked down at her own flat chest, then looked back up at Ruri, appearing somewhat at a loss.

"Woooo, Original, you have successfully bullied Hanabi," Hanabi said.
