[Ding! Group membership quota +1. Randomly selecting new members, please wait…]
[Ding! Selection complete. New member: Yuhi Kurenai. Adding member to the group.]
Not long after Itsuki parted ways with Team 7, a system notification appeared.
"This time it's Kurenai-sensei?" Itsuki wasn't surprised.
A woman as elegant and charming as Yuhi Kurenai joining the group was only a matter of time.
But seeing her name reminded him of something.
He had promised her before to help solve Yakumo's problem.
Now that he was returning to the village and finally had some free time, it was the perfect chance to try.
The ability to manipulate the five senses was one of the few powers Itsuki truly coveted.
Kurenai's joining was perfectly timed—through her, he could fabricate a future where he also mastered the control of the five senses.
Do it as soon as you think of it. Itsuki found a quiet place and began constructing the future plot.
Because of Anko's recklessness, both Kurenai and Yugao were forced to apologize to Danzo.
Naturally, they were met with cold indifference.
The two women were furious afterward, venting their frustration on Anko by dragging her out to eat.
Only after indulging in a huge meal on the snack street did they calm down a little.
Anko laughed it off as usual, though she didn't dare to tease them too much this time.
Fortunately, Tsunade had promised her compensation, so she wasn't actually at a loss.
The three of them had just sat down in a dessert shop when Kurenai suddenly froze.
A strange voice echoed in her mind.
[Ding! Yuhi Kurenai has successfully joined the "Itsuki Harem Chat Group." Congratulations on becoming a member. Please consciously abide by the following rules:]
[1. Itsuki is the group leader. His interests come before all else. Members must not act against him.]
[2. …]
Kurenai shook her head.
"'Itsuki'? What is this? An illusion?"
As a seasoned genjutsu specialist, she could tell it wasn't an illusion. But she still found it unbelievable.
Then she noticed the strange look on Anko's face.
At the same time, a notification appeared in the group confirming Kurenai's entry.
Sure enough—Kurenai had joined too.
[Mitarashi Anko: @Yuhi Kurenai, don't panic. This is a mental chat group—you can communicate directly with your thoughts here. But in the real world, the group must remain completely secret.]
Anko sent the message, while also winking at Kurenai and signaling her to keep quiet.
Kurenai was a jōnin, not someone easily rattled. She gave a small nod to show she understood.
[Hyūga Hinata: Ah? Kurenai-sensei?]
[Yamanaka Ino: A new member every so often… Is there no upper limit? Will everyone in the shinobi world eventually get pulled in?]
[Tenten: Impossible. At least men can't join. Don't forget—it's called the Itsuki Harem Chat Group.]
[Yamanaka Ino: So… you're saying every woman who joins will eventually become Itsuki's woman?]
[Tenten: Wasn't that obvious from the start? Otherwise, why would buffs only activate if we gain Itsuki's favor?]
[Uzumaki Karin: Whatever the case, I'll always follow Itsuki-kun!]
[Tsunade: Honestly, I think it'd be best if you all just married Itsuki.]
[Mitarashi Anko: True. After all, the Senju clan needs to branch out again—and that burden falls solely on him. But Tsunade-sama, don't forget you're also part of this group.]
[Tsunade: Tch! You think that scares me? If Itsuki can revive the Senju, why wouldn't I join too? Of course, if that happens, you'll all be under my authority.]
[Yamanaka Ino: Lady Tsunade is amazing, but I'm still young. I'm not thinking about marriage yet.]
[Tenten: Tsunade-sama is my idol, but things like this can't be decided with just words.]
[Haruno Sakura: Heh, this has nothing to do with me. I have my own plans!]
[Yuhi Kurenai: So this really allows consciousness to connect? Tsunade-sama is here too? What exactly is this?]
[Ding! Congratulations to Yuhi Kurenai. Group level upgraded from LV0 → LV3. All attributes increased by 300%!]
[Everyone: ...]
No one expected Kurenai to immediately receive a buff.
Just like Anko at the beginning, she shot up three levels in one go.
Kurenai herself was stunned.
Power surged through her body, every attribute skyrocketing as if she'd just attained enlightenment.
[Tsunade: You can ask Anko about the chat group. But what's going on with Kurenai? Didn't you all say buffs only happen after making a move on Itsuki?]
[Tenten: This is the first time someone's leveled up just by joining. Maybe it's because of the genjutsu training she gave Itsuki earlier?]
[Yamanaka Ino: That must be it. Remember how I leveled up? I wasn't even with Itsuki then.]
[Mitarashi Anko: If that's the case, then Tsunade-sama should've leveled up too. She helped Itsuki vent his anger, even if he doesn't know about it.]
[Tenten: Maybe that's the key—Itsuki doesn't know. Or maybe Tsunade-sama simply hasn't met him yet?]
[Yamanaka Ino: Wait, what exactly did Tsunade-sama do? You've all been acting mysterious about it.]
[Tsunade: Kids shouldn't ask about adult matters!]
[Tenten: Ugh… still, it feels so unfair. Teacher Kurenai just joined and jumped three levels! Sister Anko got the same benefit just from becoming Itsuki's 'sister.' And Karin hasn't even done anything yet!]
[Yamanaka Ino: Right! Meanwhile we're still stuck at level 1. Totally unfair!]
[Mitarashi Anko: Hmph, don't belittle me. I truly see Itsuki as family. In his heart, I'm his only sister. Can you compare to that?]
[Uzumaki Karin: Ahem… my mother and I are also Itsuki-kun's family. I haven't done much yet, but if he ever needs me, I'd give everything for him!]
[Tsunade: Enough. Those of you still at lower levels should reflect on yourselves. Ask whether you truly care about Itsuki. If you genuinely do, your levels will rise quickly.]
[Tenten: ...]
[Yamanaka Ino: ...]
"Failed review?" Itsuki frowned.
He had carefully crafted a future and submitted it, only for the system to reject it.
At the start, the system only demanded one thing: the fabricated future had to be logical.
So why was this one denied?
Itsuki couldn't figure it out.
He had awakened Wood Release through Sharingan before—completely absurd, but accepted.
He had fabricated the Diamond Seal and Kagura Mind's Eye, and those passed as well.
But this time, when he gave himself the ability to control the five senses, it was rejected.
"Privileged system, huh? Outrageous—and no explanation either."
Itsuki sighed. "Looks like I won't be getting five-sense control after all."
A little disappointing, but not essential.
He briefly considered using the Shinigami's bugged ability to fabricate the future.
But in the end, he dismissed the idea. That ability wasn't urgent, and he didn't want it exposed in future recordings.
"Forget it. Time to head home."
