Let's make a harem in Naruto- CH-25. Visiting Pakura

This feeling was wonderful—he had never experienced anything like it before. Rasa did not pull away Karura's fingers. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "I've been busy these past few days, I..."

Karura suddenly retracted her fingers, took a few steps back with her hands behind her back, and tilted her head slightly to look at Rasa. She always appeared gentle, so this seemingly playful action suited her perfectly.

Karura seemed not to have heard what he had just said. She opened her lively eyes and smiled, "Then, Rasa, will you really come to our house tomorrow?" When Rasa looked at her like this, an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

He nodded stiffly, swallowing back the excuses he had prepared.

On the way to the Kazekage's office, Rasa still felt dazed. After promising Karura, he quickly said goodbye to the two siblings. Then he walked briskly, as if trying to escape the situation.

Rasa thought to himself, 'I didn't expect Karura to be so good at flirting.' He had originally assumed Karura was a typical Yamato Nadeshiko-type woman—shy and reserved around her crush, much like Hinata.

But now, it seemed he had misjudged her. Judging from her behavior both in the morning and now, Karura was indeed gentle, but she was also a woman who took initiative. Unlike Hinata, who only mustered the courage to confess at critical moments, Karura was far bolder in everyday situations.

This was one of the types Rasa found hardest to handle. Having lived in the modern world for over 20 years, Rasa was accustomed to classmates and colleagues who were superficially friendly but insincere.

Meanwhile, on the outer wall of the Sand Village.

Yasha, who had been staring at her sister's performance in amazement, finally snapped out of it. She looked at Karura, who was still gazing in the direction Rasa had left. After hesitating for a long time, she cautiously approached her sister and asked in a low voice:

"Sister, what were you doing just now..."

Karura continued to look in the direction Rasa had gone. Without turning her head, she responded, "What's the matter? Do you think my behavior was strange?"

Yasha replied tentatively, "Yes, sister."

Suddenly, Karura turned around quietly. Yasha's eyes widened as she stared at her sister's face.

Karura touched her smooth, delicate face curiously and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Is there dust on my face? Why are you staring at me like that?"

"No, sister. I've just never seen you smile so happily and sweetly before..." Yasha's answer made Karura laugh. She walked up to her sister, gently touched her face, and then turned back to gaze in the direction Rasa had left.

"Because your sister has found a man she can trust for life. How could she not be happy?" Karura smiled as she looked up at the sky.

"Although there are other women eyeing him...But fortunately, that woman hasn't yet realized her true feelings. She seems to only see him as a good friend or brother. In such a situation, if I don't take the initiative and abandon my useless reserve to fight for my own happiness...Once that woman realizes her feelings and acts, I'll regret it for the rest of my life." Karura turned back to look at Rasa's departing figure, unaware of the complicated expression on her sister's face.

Rasa walked through the bustling streets, slowly exhaling. Three hours ago, he had entered the Kazekage's office and begun discussing matters with the Chiyo siblings.

Rasa first briefly explained his situation, omitting any details related to the system. He attributed his ability to control iron tools to daily hard work and practice, leading to a breakthrough. After explaining, the conversation naturally shifted to daily affairs.

Rasa shook his head slightly as he recalled the discussion. He had wondered why so many ninjas suddenly knew about the Third Kazekage's disappearance—or even his death.

It turned out that Aoki was behind it.

To ensure more people witnessed his power and to prevent any accidents, Aoki had dared to inform all the jonin and senior chunin that the Third Kazekage was likely dead. Chiyo had asked Rasa for his thoughts on the matter.

Rasa suggested strictly monitoring the movements of the ninjas who knew about the situation and reducing unnecessary missions.

For tasks like adjusting defense lines, adding more guards, transporting supplies, and purchasing resources, they should assign trusted ninjas.Beyond that, Rasa had no other solutions.

He wasn't omniscient.

Apart from the spies planted by Sasori, the original story didn't specify who was a spy from which village. Rasa also reminded Chiyo about the hidden danger of Sasori's brain-control technique and asked her to pay closer attention.

Wait—there *was* a way to identify spies!Rasa had a sudden realization. He had a favorability list, didn't he? He could use it to find people who had a negative impression of him. While someone with a positive impression wasn't necessarily a spy, a spy would definitely have a negative impression!

As Rasa pondered this, he realized he had reached his destination without noticing. It was a three-story building with plain exterior decor, indistinguishable from its surroundings.

Rasa decided to postpone checking the favorability list and searching for spies until night. He walked to the door and knocked gently.

"Wait, I'm coming!" Pakura's voice rang out as the door opened with a creak.

Rasa's mood, which had been heavy, was instantly replaced by amazement. Pakura hadn't changed her clothes at home. She still wore her iconic backless and sleeveless outfit but had swapped her ninja shoes for wooden clogs.

Her slender, snow-white feet were flawless. There were no visible veins or blemishes on her insteps, her ankles were delicate, and her arches were high, like finely sculpted art. Her toenails, with their pink-and-white sheen, were neatly trimmed—neither too long nor too short.

It was clear their owner took great care of them.

As Rasa looked at her feet gleaming in the sunlight, only one word came to mind, 'Perfection!'

'The shape of her feet is exactly as I imagined yesterday—so beautiful!' He thought.

Author's Note: I don't want to rush Pakura's development. I really like her character and want to build up some emotional depth. The early stages are slow-burn, but a few chapters of buildup won't hurt.

There's a story about Pakura not understanding her true feelings. After seeing Rasa with other women, she finally realizes her heart's desire and begins chasing him.

As for the more intimate scenes, Tsunade will take over in a few chapters.

Rasa sat in the living room on the first floor, quietly observing the layout of the house. He had expected Pakura's home to be simply decorated, given her personality. But to his surprise, it felt warm and inviting.

Though the exterior was plain, the interior gave off a homely vibe. This feeling was strange. There were places Rasa had lived in for over a decade that never felt like home.

But here, listening to the sounds of Pakura bustling in the kitchen, Rasa felt at ease. A warmth rose in his heart. He suddenly realized he had developed deep feelings for Pakura.

Though Rasa wasn't sure if it was love, he was certain he was drawn to her beauty. He had no idea what Pakura felt for him.

How did she see him?

While Rasa wanted to believe it was love—given her favorability level was close to fifty—he had learned that high favorability didn't always mean love. People with high favorability viewed their feelings based on their childhood experiences and personality.

For example, Rem and Mery.

In Rasa's opinion, their feelings for him were more like fanatical worship. They saw him as a savior and would obey his every command without question. That wasn't love—it was admiration. Then there was Yasha. Having grown up without a close male figure, Yasha naturally began to see Rasa as an older brother after her favorability increased.
