Operation Harem Jutsu: Because Saving the World is Serious Business.

This female teacher is truly awful.

Clearly engaging in workplace sexual harassment and calling it a reward.

And doing it as an adult female teacher to a minor…

In my previous life, that would be enough to land her in prison.

Okay, but the most important thing is—

She thinks a forehead kiss is enough to make me blush? Who does she think I am? If she's feeling brave, there are other places she could kiss me.

And…

"Hell Viewing Technique and Body Paralysis Technique?"

Uchiha Kage flipped through the ninjutsu scrolls in his hand.

They're both basic illusionary techniques. Is she planning for me to make up for my inability to use Sharingan genjutsu?

A very thoughtful consideration, but I don't need it.

Still, it's a kind gesture, so I should put them away properly.

"Next, I need to pick up more…"

Uchiha Kage remembered that Kakashi Squad and Asuma were also conducting bell-grabbing survival exercises in the nearby Training Grounds.

"Logically speaking, there should be Ninja Fragments in these places, but why aren't there any?"

Could it be that Ninja Fragments only drop during Ninja battles that happen right in front of me?

Uchiha Kage searched both of the larger Ninja Training Grounds with frustration, but he found nothing.

I didn't expect this 'cheat' to have so many restrictions.

Hmm?

Just as Uchiha Kage was about to head back to the Uchiha Clan Grounds, a purple figure suddenly appeared before him.

Isn't that the Anbu Female Ninja? Shouldn't she be monitoring Naruto? Why is she here with me again?

"Hokage-sama wants to see you."

The Female Ninja said in as gentle a voice as possible.

Uzuki Yugao felt somewhat guilty because her negligence had almost led to his death at the hands of Root ninjas not long ago.

"Me?"

What does Sarutobi Hiruzen want with me?

Uchiha Kage subconsciously thought that they might have discovered that he was tricking them with his dreams.

But he quickly shook his head, because that was impossible. Even if they realized it was a trick, there was no way they could trace it back to him through that baseless dream.

So, what is it?

With this question in mind, Uchiha Kage followed the purple-haired Female Ninja to the Hokage Office.

----

"He's the Uchiha who stayed behind with Sasuke…?"

As soon as he entered, Uchiha Kage saw a white-haired ninja wearing a black mask, looking at him with a very complicated expression.

Hatake Kakashi?

"That's right. What do you think of him?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, sitting in the Hokage Office chair, was also looking at the young man in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze.

"I have no objections, but he's still just a Genin after all."

Kakashi felt like he was dealing with Uchihas his whole life: Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Itachi, and now Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Kage.

The name Uchiha was both a haven for his heart and a curse he couldn't escape.

"His potential is very high. With you and Tenzō guiding him, he'll grow quickly enough."

"He certainly doesn't have the same kind of animosity as Sasuke."

Kakashi withdrew his scrutiny of Uchiha Kage, and was also somewhat surprised by Sarutobi Hiruzen's assessment.

Could this Uchiha Kage be even more talented than Sasuke?

However, compared to Sasuke, who carried many thoughts of revenge, this Uchiha youth seemed much more cheerful.

Kakashi didn't know that because of his agreement with Uchiha Itachi, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't dare to recruit Sasuke into Anbu.

"However, Hokage-sama, may I ask a presumptuous question? Is something major happening in the Village right now?"

Hasn't it been quite peaceful recently?

Why does the Third Hokage give off a feeling of being in the face of a great enemy?

It's like the eve of the Third Shinobi World War more than a decade ago…

Kakashi was puzzled.

Even if the Village was currently facing a shortage of capable ninjas, it shouldn't be necessary to recruit even Genin into Anbu for training as if it were wartime, right?

"It's something outside the Village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't avoid Uzuki Yugao and Uchiha Kage, who had come in behind them.

"The intelligence I've received recently indicates… that Sunagakure may attack Konoha Village soon."

"What!?"

Hearing this, both Kakashi and Uzuki Yugao were shocked.

"However, the intelligence hasn't been confirmed yet, but even so, the Ninja World will probably be turbulent again, so…"

Sarutobi Hiruzen changed his tone and then displayed some of the Hokage's authority.

"From this day forward, I will select capable young people from the Village to join Anbu. Uchiha Kage!"

"Here."

"From today onwards, you will be a member of my direct Anbu."

"Yes."

So, he wants me to join Anbu.

And he didn't even give me the right to choose.

Uchiha Kage silently complained in his heart.

But this old geezer finally made a move…

I just don't know how much different the day Sunagakure attacks Konoha will be from the canon storyline.

"However, Hokage-sama, what about Team 8 Jonin Kurenai?"

Having just become a Genin, and still in the same squad as Hinata, it was a bit of a pity for Uchiha Kage to leave like this.

"It doesn't matter. You're an Anbu trainee. When there are no special missions, you'll still stay in Kurenai's Team 8 as before. When there are orders, you'll follow the command of Kakashi, the new Anbu Captain."

"Understood."

So, I have to work two jobs.

Then this Kakashi is probably also—the proctor of Team 7, an Elite Jonin of Konoha, and the Anbu Captain.

One person working three jobs, he's practically a Konoha-Certified Workaholic.

Uchiha Kage looked at Kakashi, who was standing next to Sarutobi Hiruzen, with a slightly sympathetic expression.

"Yugao, take him down to get settled first, and also tell him the rules of Anbu."

"Yes."

Genin promoted directly to Anbu?

Uzuki Yugao became more and more curious about the Uchiha youth before her.

----

"This… Older sister? Do Anbu members have to wear masks all the time?"

Looking at the Female Ninja, who still hadn't taken off the cat mask on her face, Uchiha Kage asked tentatively.

"No, you only need to when you're on a mission."

Uzuki Yugao led Uchiha Kage to the front of a relatively private Room in the Village, then took out a key and opened the lock.

"Then can Older sister take off her mask?"

"…"

Uzuki Yugao, who was about to push the door open and enter the Room, paused slightly.

"Okay."

Although her voice was cold, the Female Ninja still took off the mask on her face as requested.

"That's great."

Uchiha Kage looked at the Female Ninja's clear and beautiful face, like a lotus emerging from the water, and revealed an "I knew it" expression.

"What?"

Uzuki Yugao was confused.

"With that beautiful purple hair and lovely voice, I was hoping for a beautiful Big Sister under that mask. Looks like I was right."

"You…"

Am I beautiful?

Uzuki Yugao didn't know how to react for a moment.

But this young man really knows how to talk. Although she knew he was deliberately praising her, she didn't dislike it at all. Instead, she felt a bit of joy from being praised.

"You're different from the other Uchihas."

And because of this compliment, Uzuki Yugao felt that the distance between them had instantly narrowed from strangers.

"Has Older sister met other Uchihas?"

Uchiha Kage made a joke as cold as hell.

"I… have indeed met them."

And they were all very famous Uchihas.

Uzuki Yugao silently added in her heart.

She was in the same class as Uchiha Itachi and also belonged to Anbu, so she had not only met Uchiha Itachi but also knew Uchiha Shisui.

However, when she thought of the entanglement between these two and the Uchiha clan, and the fact that the young man in front of her had lost all his relatives, Uzuki Yugao couldn't help but look at him with a hint of sympathy.

"What are the other Uchihas like?"

Uchiha Kage asked, pretending to be curious.

"The other Uchihas… are relatively closed off. They rarely interact with outsiders. Even if they show you a smile, you can feel a sense of detachment behind a thick wall."

Uzuki Yugao tried to recall her impressions of Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui.

Then she made a serious comparison with the young man in front of her.

"But you're different. You don't seem to care whether you're from the Uchiha clan or not, and you don't… have that fake smile."

"Is Older sister praising me?"

Uchiha Kage didn't expect Uzuki Yugao to say her opinion of him so seriously.

"Yes."

Uzuki Yugao's personality was a bit cold, and she spoke quite directly.

"This Room is assigned to you as a temporary residence. You can come here anytime in the future."

"Thank you."

So this Room is a settling-in allowance. I thought it would be some kind of secret meeting place.

But, I forgot to ask before, will working two jobs come with two salaries?

But thinking about Sarutobi Hiruzen's stinginess, having this Cabin to live in is already a blessing.

"No need to thank me. This is something every Anbu member has."

"No, I'm thanking Older sister for saving me twice before."

"That's my duty, and…"

She almost caused the young man in front of her to die because of her mistake. Uzuki Yugao really didn't think she deserved to be thanked.

"In short, Kakashi-senpai might be quite busy. In the future, if you can't find anyone in Anbu, you can come to me for help. My name is Uzuki Yugao, Anbu code name Purple."

After handing the Room key and an Anbu handbook to Uchiha Kage, Uzuki Yugao didn't stay any longer and quickly disappeared into the eaves of Konoha Village.

"Uzuki Yugao, huh?"

So it really is her.

However, this Older sister probably doesn't realize there's an interesting thing about people…

Knowing this, Uchiha Kage didn't hesitate and followed Uzuki Yugao after hearing "Follow me."

Because he knew that she probably wouldn't hurt him.

And deliberately showing goodwill to her was so that if something happened In the future, she would stand on his side again.

"And this Hokage's direct Anbu…"

Although it sounds troublesome, it seems to be a very powerful position.

The Hokage-sama's will is the Anbu's will, but the Anbu's will may not necessarily be the Hokage-sama's will.

Sooner or later…

Uchiha Kage flipped through the Anbu handbook while lying on the bed in this secluded Cabin, thinking about his next move.

----

"Kage, why have you been coming back later and later recently?"

"Maybe my Jonin Teacher is more responsible."

In the evening, as soon as he returned to the Uchiha Clan Grounds, Uchiha Kage was questioned by Sasuke.

However, he was hiding the Anbu matter from Sasuke not to comply with confidentiality regulations, but simply because he didn't want to provoke Sasuke's competitive spirit and jealousy.

Although to him, Anbu was just a hassle, but for Sasuke and Naruto at this time, who had been instilled with the Will of Fire, being able to enter Anbu was definitely a great honor.

"Then you've picked a good Teacher."

Remembering the white-haired ninja who took them to catch cats and dogs all day long, Sasuke looked dissatisfied.

He thought that after becoming a real ninja, he would receive guidance from a Jonin, and his strength would improve by leaps and bounds in various missions.

But imagination is beautiful, and reality is… not doing serious work all day long.

It's not as good as the training he gets every night in that strange dream.

But speaking of the strange dream at night, Sasuke couldn't help but look forward to it today.

"Naruto said that you're very confident in completing that mission tonight?"

"Fifty-fifty, Naruto's technique has indeed improved a lot under my guidance."

Though the guidance process was a little hard to talk about.

And even from Uchiha Kage's perspective in his previous life, Naruto's technique was quite powerful, and it should be even more effective against Kaguya, Hagoromo, and Hamura.

"Then go to sleep quickly."

Impatient, Sasuke quickly took his Pillow and went back to his Room to sleep.

Although he sneered at Naruto's indecent ninjutsu, he had no better solution at the moment.

Besides, as long as he can complete the mission and gain power, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed.

----

[Enter Instance?]

Closing his eyes, Uchiha Kage quickly arrived at the Instance where Kaguya, Hagoromo, and Hamura stood in mid-air.

"Enter."

As always, after choosing Naruto and Sasuke as his companions, Uchiha Kage also appeared on a small hillside with ease.

Naruto and Sasuke, who appeared at the same time, also skillfully began their respective actions.

Shuriken Technique!

Taking out Shuriken and thin iron wire for binding from the ninja tool pouch on his waist, Sasuke attacked a small Toad that had just shown its head, as if he knew what was going to happen.

Before long, he used the iron wire to tie up Gama Maru, the Future Great Toad Sage, all tied up.

"Next is to avoid their attacks!"

To be precise, it is to avoid the attacks of the three humanoid monsters in the sky and the aftershocks of the Ten-Tails monster on the ground.

"Run to the left quickly, hide in that Mountain Hollow, then go to the bomb crater on the right…"

After many "death" experiences, Uchiha Kage and Sasuke had completely figured out the attack frequency of Kaguya and the Sage of Six Paths. As long as they didn't deliberately attract the attention of these people and beasts, the location of each attack wouldn't change much.

As long as they remember the range of each attack, they can sneak into the center of the Battlefield without being noticed.

Boom!

A Tailed Beast Ball exploded on the mountain behind them.

The earth-shattering shockwave made the three of them hiding in the bomb crater tremble.

Although Uchiha Kage and his companions had died many times in this 'dream,' they still felt their hearts racing every time they brushed shoulders with the God of Death.

"Now's the time, Naruto, quickly use that ninjutsu!"

Seeing that the Sage of Six Paths Hagoromo and his younger brother Hamura were about to use their final combined sealing move on Kaguya, who had been knocked into the mountain and was temporarily injured and unable to get up, Uchiha Kage quickly led Naruto out of the bomb crater where they were hiding.

Then, together with Sasuke, they threw Naruto into the sky.

"Got it! Watch this!"

Naruto, who was gradually approaching the Sage of Six Paths family in mid-air, confidently performed the Hand Seals for the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

Multiple… Harem Jutsu!!
