Chapter 7 - We’re Really Just Sleeping~

"Uchiha Izumi… reporting for duty!"

After arriving at the Sarutobi clan, Izumi was quickly led inside by a servant.

Passing through rows of houses—

The two eventually arrived at Sarutobi Hakuto's residence.

Looking at the place before her…

It was no less grand than the Uchiha clan head's home.

"This is Young Master Sarutobi Hakuto's residence."

"From now on, you will serve as his personal attendant."

"W-What? Personal?!"

Before Izumi could protest—

The butler had already left.

After all, his job was done.

Standing before the luxurious residence—

And thinking about the still-unmet Sarutobi Hakuto—

Izumi felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness.

But in the end—

She gathered her courage and stepped inside.

"Oh? You're here."

The moment she entered—

She saw Sarutobi Hakuto in a bathrobe.

The robe hung loosely open—

Revealing a well-built physique that instantly made her face flush red.

"A-Ah… B-Sarutobi Hakuto-sama!"

"From today on, I'll be your servant!"

"Please take care of me!"

Seeing her timid expression—

Sarutobi Hakuto couldn't help but tease her.

"Sounds like you're missing a couple of words~"

Izumi immediately knew what he meant.

Her hands fumbled nervously.

And when she looked at his sharply handsome face—

Perfect in every way, like the peak of human form—

Her mind went blank.

All she could do—

Was stand there, blushing.

"Alright, go put your things away."

"You'll be living here from now on."

After teasing her a bit, Sarutobi Hakuto waved casually and pointed to a room.

Izumi hurried inside and placed down her belongings.

Sitting in the room—

She had initially resisted this mission.

But after meeting Sarutobi Hakuto…

She suddenly felt—

Maybe it wasn't so bad after all.

After tidying up—

She returned.

Sarutobi Hakuto glanced at her, then pointed at the bed.

"Go do what you're supposed to do."

"Don't make me remind you of those two words again."

Izumi followed his gaze—

To the bed.

Her face turned crimson again.

With the beauty mark near her eye—

Her expression looked even more alluring.

After stepping out briefly—

She seemed to have made up her mind.

Slowly—

She slipped under the blanket.

Only her head remained visible—

Peeking shyly at Sarutobi Hakuto.

After a while, she spoke softly:

"The bed… is warmed."

"Sarutobi Hakuto-sama…"

Hearing this—

Sarutobi Hakuto walked over calmly.

Seeing him approach—

Izumi hurriedly tried to sit up and get dressed—

But before she could—

Sarutobi Hakuto lifted the blanket and got in.

She froze instantly.

Feeling the warmth radiating from his body—

Her face turned completely red.

"B-Sarutobi Hakuto-sama…"

Without another word—

Sarutobi Hakuto pulled her into his arms.

She trembled slightly.

But—

He didn't do anything further.

"Alright. Sleep."

Sarutobi Hakuto sighed inwardly.

If his body wasn't that of a ten-year-old—

Things would've gone very differently.

The Next Morning

Early in the morning—

Izumi woke up.

The moment she opened her eyes—

She saw Sarutobi Hakuto already dressed and ready.

Startled—

She jumped out of bed—

Completely forgetting she wasn't wearing anything.

"…Uh."

Sarutobi Hakuto paused.

Looking at her—

He didn't know what to say.

After all, last night—

He'd already touched enough.

But seeing her like this in the morning…

Was a different kind of experience.

Izumi suddenly felt a chill.

Looking down—

"AAAAAHHH!!!"

Realizing she was completely naked—

She screamed and dove back under the blanket.

For a moment—

The atmosphere in the house became… lively.

At the Ninja Academy

At the school gates—

"Look! It's Sasuke!"

"The Uchiha genius, right?"

"Genius? Sarutobi Hakuto didn't even bother fighting him."

"Yeah, he just acts cool all the time—what a joke."

Hearing the chatter—

Sasuke's mood, which had barely recovered, darkened again.

He walked into the classroom, clearly irritated.

The first thing he saw—

Was that annoying blond idiot.

Naruto.

"Hahaha! Hey, cool guy Sasuke!"

"Got wrecked yesterday, huh?!"

Sasuke snapped instantly.

"You idiot—what right do you have to talk?!"

But he wasn't in the mood to argue.

His eyes scanned the classroom—

Looking for Sarutobi Hakuto.

But—

He wasn't there.

Sasuke clicked his tongue and returned to his seat.

Among the girls—

Some still liked him.

But after yesterday—

Only Sakura remained by his side.

"Sasuke-kun…"

"You're annoying."

Sakura froze—

Then quietly returned to her seat, holding back tears.

Ino, who had been ready to mock her—

Stopped mid-sentence.

Not knowing what to say.

But the moment Sarutobi Hakuto entered—

Everything changed.

Ino rushed forward first.

"Sarutobi Hakuto-kun! You were amazing yesterday!"

Before she could say more—

She was pushed aside by a wave of girls.

"Sarutobi Hakuto!!!"

"You're so cool!!"

"Will you be my boyfriend?!"

Looking at the enthusiastic crowd—

Sarutobi Hakuto couldn't help but grin.

These girls really matured early.

Thankfully—

Iruka arrived just in time.

The classroom quieted instantly.

Under everyone's gaze—

Sarutobi Hakuto walked to the back.

Then—

Sat down right next to Hinata.

"Long time no see, Hinata~
