Naruto: Yandere Harem with Gacha System

"Ka!"

Konan accidentally bit through the crispy fish bone. A look of surprise spread across her fair and delicate pretty face.

"You… what did you just say?"

Konan suspected she had heard it wrong just now.

"The so-called tsundere refers to someone who puts on a tough, proud, and contradictory attitude and behavior in order to hide their own shyness and bashfulness."

Aoba explained the meaning of tsundere to Konan word by word.

Crack!

This time, even the skewer was bitten through by her in one bite, and her originally fair pretty face turned red.

It wasn't from embarrassment, it was from anger.

She kind of wanted to bite this guy to death now.

"I am not tsundere!", However, in the end, she still took a deep breath and didn't do anything that went against her persona.

She realized that this guy was definitely not some kindhearted and innocent person.

He was full of bad tricks.

After getting more familiar with him over the past few days, she was often angered by him to the point of wanting to bite someone.

"So, is the grilled fish delicious?", Aoba asked again.

"...", Konan fell silent for a moment. She knew that if she gave any answer other than "delicious," Aoba definitely say she was tsundere again.

In the end, she could only honestly say those two words, "Delicious…"

Aoba laughed again, "That's more like it. I specially grilled it for Konan-neesan, how could it not be delicious?"

Konan couldn't help but roll her eyes.

At the same time, she also felt a bit emotional. Though she was a little angry, she wasn't repulsed by it.

It made her feel like a normal person, and not an angel who must constantly maintain her image and stay high above.

Not long after, Konan finished eating two grilled fish, and the skewers were tossed to Aoba's feet.

To express her dissatisfaction, "Now you can listen to me, right?"

"Is Konan-neesan full?", Aoba asked again.

"Full! Yes!", Konan was gritting her teeth a little. She wasn't some big eater.

Aoba smiled and said, "Then Konan-neesan, why don't you talk about what's bothering you? If I can help, I definitely will."

"This isn't helping me, it's helping yourselves!", Konan didn't know why she actually felt relieved, 'This guy finally seems ready to let me talk properly.'

"Sunagakure plans to take advantage of this Chunin Exam to launch a war against Konoha. And they've already brought the One-Tail into Konoha."

Konan poured out all the information she could share in one breath.

She naturally hid the information about the Akatsuki organization. Even if she wanted to stop a war from breaking out in Konoha, she couldn't betray her organization.

And now that she had finally spoken this intel, while Konan felt relieved in her heart, she also couldn't help but feel a little expectant.

After all, she'd been frustrated these past few days by this guy's "dense" attitude.

She really wanted to know what kind of expression Aoba would show after hearing this intel.

After all, she had gone to great lengths over these days to hint at the intel about Sunagakure.

Yet this guy acted like a fool, didn't take it seriously at all, and even kept interrupting her just now.

So right now, she inexplicably wanted to see Aoba show a surprised and regretful expression after hearing the intel.

Just thinking about it gave her a refreshing feeling, like slapping someone in the face.

However, reality was destined to disappoint her.

She only saw Aoba stroking his chin, showing a thoughtful expression, then suddenly having a look of realization.

In just these two short changes of expression, Aoba displayed acting skills to the fullest.

"So Konan-neesan, the reason you've been saying bad things about Sunagakure these past few days, it turns out this was the reason, huh."

Konan's brows furrowed.

'Too calm. This isn't the reaction I wanted at all.'

Now she just felt like something was stuck in her chest, neither going up nor down, extremely uncomfortable.

"Sunagakure has brought a tailed beast into your village, and you're not even a little anxious?"

Aoba blinked, as if he had guessed what she was thinking, and immediately put on a very exaggerated expression, "I'm so anxious!"

Crack!

Seeing his reaction, Konan couldn't help but clench her fists.

"You already knew this intel?", She voiced her suspicion, while also guessing in her heart.

'How does he know this intel? Could it be that Uchiha Itachi really is a spy?'

Aoba shook his head, "Not really, but since we invited the other four great ninja villages to join this Chunin Joint Exam, we had already prepared for this."

"And I also indeed sensed the presence of a tailed beast's chakra in Sunagakure's genin squad."

"Since you knew about the tailed beast's presence, then why did you still hold the Chunin Exams?", Konan asked in great confusion.

"That's because we have methods to deal with tailed beasts."

"...", Konan fell silent. Aoba didn't elaborate, and she didn't ask further. This already counted as top-level intel.

She suddenly felt like a clown. These past few nights she'd been tormented, dreaming from time to time about a scene of hell on earth in Konoha's streets.

Yet they had already made preparations long ago.

"Heh!", Konan suddenly let out a self-mocking laugh. She didn't feel like staying any longer, "In that case, then I'll just…"

"Konan-neesan," Aoba interrupted her.

"Is there something else?", Right now Konan just wanted to leave quickly.

Aoba looked into her eyes, "After saying all this, do you feel more at ease now?"

Konan froze for a moment, emotions stirring slightly.

After learning that Konoha was already prepared, she indeed felt much more at ease.

Aoba continued, "Actually, I had already noticed these past few days. Konan-neesan often appeared inexplicably anxious, conflicted, worried, and uneasy. I initially thought it was because you weren't used to being in Konoha, so I kept trying to ease your mood."

"But now it seems that Konan-neesan, you must have had other motives for coming to Konoha too, right?"

"...", Konan fell silent, looking at the injured eyes of the young man who had been deceived.

She quietly looked away, not daring to meet his gaze.

For some reason, she also felt really uncomfortable in her heart.

That look in the eyes of someone betrayed by someone they trusted, it was just like them in the past.

"See you next time."

Konan didn't speak. Aoba didn't ask anything more either. He turned and walked toward the direction of the Senju ancestral home.

"You should be able to sleep well tonight, right?"

Upon hearing that, Konan's heart suddenly trembled, and she subconsciously called out to him, "Wait a second!"

Aoba's footsteps paused, and he turned to look at her, saying nothing.

"Aren't you going to ask me what my purpose for coming to Konoha is?"

Konan felt that she was probably sick, even if he asked, she wouldn't be able to answer.

But she still wanted to know the answer.

"Because I believe in you. You came to Konoha because of orders from above, so I still believe in you, and I don't want to make things hard for you," Aoba said very seriously.

Konan looked at the young man's eyes, and the inner emotions she had sealed for many years began to surge.

'People, can they really understand each other?'
