"Ding. Task completed. Distributing reward."
"Distribution complete. Please check your inventory."
Furin opened the skill interface to check the detailed description of the Friendship Cheat Sheet.
[Friendship Cheat Sheet]: What's up, my dude!
Significantly increases success rate when making friends, with a chance to instantly become best friends.
Well, how should I put this? The skill feels a bit useless.
Checking the time and figuring that Sasuke's class was about to end, Furin got up from the swing.
"Big Brother Naruto, I'm going to go deliver lunch to my brother now. Bye-bye~" Waving her little hand, Furin said goodbye to Naruto.
"Alright, see you." Hearing Furin say that, Naruto waved back reluctantly.
"Big Brother Naruto, don't skip class next time, okay? As the future Hokage, mastering theoretical knowledge is pretty important, you know."
Thinking of that disastrous academic record from the original story, Furin offered some well-intentioned advice.
"Mm, I won't skip class anymore!" Naruto nodded firmly.
Bidding farewell to Naruto, Furin arrived at Sasuke's classroom.
Pushing open the classroom door, Furin saw Sakura and Ino both swarming around Sasuke.
"Sasuke, try the bento I made! It took me ages to prepare."
"Shut up, violent girl. Sasuke, try my cooking instead—I even made a heart-shaped egg!"
Sasuke sat surrounded by the two girls, wearing a cold expression as he spoke.
"No need. My little sister is coming to bring me lunch."
Standing at the classroom door, Furin felt like she had picked the wrong time to arrive.
Just then, Sasuke noticed Furin standing at the entrance. Brushing the others aside, he pushed past Sakura and Sai, and walked quickly toward Furin.
"Brother, I brought your lunch! You've been waiting a while, haven't you?"
"Mm, it's fine. I'd wait as long as it takes." Sasuke smiled slightly and took the lunchbox from Furin's hands.
"Who is that girl?" Seeing the intimate interaction between Furin and Sasuke, Sakura was instantly consumed by jealousy and asked Ino beside her.
"Isn't she Sasuke's little sister, I think?" Ino said somewhat doubtfully.
"Look at her white hair and red eyes. She looks nothing like Sasuke—how could she possibly be his sister?" Looking unconvinced, Sakura marched angrily toward Furin.
"Sakura, don't be impulsive!" Ino reached out to grab her, but was brushed aside by the enraged Sakura.
"Hey, you! Stay away from Sasuke! Sasuke is mine!" Sakura glared resentfully at Furin.
"Sasuke is my big brother. Why is big sister telling me to stay away from my big brother?" Furin tilted her little head and asked, looking utterly confused.
"Don't lie! You brat look nothing like Sasuke! Sasuke has black hair, and you have white hair!"
"Brother, she's bullying me~" Furin's little face turned aggrieved as she tugged on the corner of Sasuke's shirt, her voice soft and sweet.
"Shut up. Furin is my little sister. No one is allowed to bully my little sister!" Seeing Sakura's unbridled attitude, Sasuke's face turned icy cold as he spoke without a trace of politeness.
"Furin, let's go." Taking Furin's little hand, Sasuke walked away without looking back.
Just as they were about to step out of the classroom door, Furin turned her head and made a face at Sakura.
Damn it, that brat did that on purpose! Sakura had plenty of anger but dared not voice it, glaring furiously after them.
Heh, trying to mess with me? Little girls these days are just too inexperienced.
Furin giggled softly. Ignoring the angry Sakura, she ran off hand-in-hand with Sasuke.
"Furin, did she scare you?" Stroking Furin's head, Sasuke asked with a tender, concerned expression.
Sticking out her tongue, Furin gave a cheeky grin.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. Brother, let's go eat."
The two of them arrived at the rooftop.
They casually found a clean spot to sit down, and Furin looked up at the Sasuke in front of her.
Unlike the cold demeanor he showed everyone else, the current Sasuke was gentle and considerate. It almost made Furin wonder if she had mistaken him for someone else, though either way, it was a good thing.
Did this not scream harmonious family and brotherly-sisterly affection? Talk about a perfectly happy life.
Comparing the present Sasuke with the future Sasuke—who went around picking fights with anyone who looked at him funny—Furin definitely found the current Sasuke much more endearing.
Wearing a windbreaker, with black hair and dark eyes set against a delicate little face, the boy was undeniably a little cute.
"What is it, Furin? Is there something on my face?" Meeting Furin's direct, unblinking gaze, Sasuke touched the back of his head, looking somewhat shy.
"Nothing, Brother. Let's eat."
As soon as the lunchbox was opened, a rich, appetizing aroma wafted out.
"It smells so good!" Furin's eyes lit up with anticipation for the delicious food inside.
Cabbage, greens, a heart-shaped egg, and a roasted chicken leg.
Meat and vegetables included, with a well-balanced nutritional mix. It seemed their mother Mikoto cared deeply about the children's physical development.
Seeing Furin's cute little expression, Sasuke happily opened his own lunchbox as well.
"Ding. Task issued."
"Task Name: Sibling Harmony."
"As the future number one beautiful girl in the world, one must naturally have a harmonious family and loving siblings. Please act cute and sweet-talk Sasuke into feeding you, to deepen the bond between brother and sister."
"Task Reward: Kasugano Sora's Dress."
Just as Furin was getting ready to dig into her meal, this untimely voice rang out.
"What a mood killer!" After reading the task description, Furin felt her worldview was shattered all over again.
Acting cute and sweet-talking someone into feeding you—what kind of crazy requirement was this? And what about this trashy reward? Kasugano Sora's Dress—were they sure it didn't come with some weird, sketchy attributes?
Complaining silently about the unreasonable demands of the task, Furin asked, "Can I choose not to do this task?"
"The host will regret it. This dress will definitely come in extremely handy on the Night of the Massacre."
"Really? What kind of special effect does this clothing even have?"
"Hehehe, its uses are massive."
"[Kasugano Sora's Dress]: Significantly increases the host's brother's affection toward the host, with a high probability of triggering the 'siscon' attribute."
"How is that useful anywhere? It's clearly just a piece of clothing with weird, creepy attributes. System, you pervert." Furin's little face turned flushed; she could never accept such a perverted outfit.
"That's not how you look at it. Think about it carefully, Host." The system initiated its ultimate sales pitch mode.
"Isn't Uchiha Itachi your brother?"
"Yeah, so what?"
"If the host uses this dress to raise Itachi's affection and turns him into a siscon, then Itachi won't bear to kill you anymore!"
"When you put it that way, I guess that's true." Hearing the system's logic, Furin was struck with awe.
"To endure what others cannot is the mark of a true hero. Is the host a true hero?" The system continued to sweet-talk her.
"Of course!"
"Then go for it, Host." Seeing its goal achieved, the system kept its mouth shut.
"Fine." Furin puffed up with spirit, radiating an attitude of absolute determination.
No sooner said than done, Furin summoned her courage and looked up at Sasuke.
"Brother, Furin wants..."
