"Whew…"
Holding the soft, warm body of the girl in his arms, Kevin Cross let out a long breath.
"So this is what it feels like… No wonder 99.99% of men want to get married this is amazing." He couldn't help but marvel at the experience.
What had just happened between Kevin and Uchiha Izumi could only be described as the natural course of events.
After all, Izumi had agreed to be his woman from the very beginning. From the moment her body was healed by the chat group, she'd already mentally prepared herself for this. In fact, the only surprise was that it had taken a day longer than she expected.
Izumi had once been in love with Uchiha Itachi, but after learning the truth that he was the very reason she had suffered so much pain what remained in her heart was hatred. Or perhaps, the kind of hatred born from a love that ran too deep.
Especially after awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, her mental state had become unstable. If she were brought to the modern world and subjected to a psychological evaluation, she'd absolutely be diagnosed as mentally unwell no doubt about it.
So when Kevin arrived from another world to sleep with her, she didn't resist at all. Though she was grateful to him for saving her and giving her Naruto, that didn't mean she had feelings for him.
To Izumi, her relationship with Kevin was more of a transaction. And perhaps it was exactly because of that mindset that she could so readily offer herself to him.
Kevin, meanwhile, felt completely spent but in the best possible way. Having lived two lives, he had finally experienced what it meant to be with a woman. Three rounds back to back had utterly drained him.
He lay lazily on the bed, unwilling to move.
But just then, he felt a strange sensation ripple through his body. Something inside him was awakening. His once-weak physique was rapidly strengthening, recovering from exhaustion at an astonishing pace. A foreign energy began to flow within him. His eyes started to itch faintly, and new knowledge surfaced in his mind.
There was no doubt about it Kevin was finally receiving the rewards.
Izumi's Uchiha bloodline, her chakra, her mastery of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and even her Sharingan everything was being replicated into his body.
At the same time, Izumi noticed something odd happening to her own eyes. They itched, but not painfully more like the sensation of being bathed in nourishing liquid, like countless tiny hands were massaging her retinas.
At first, she froze. Then a wave of pure joy crashed over her.
After enduring years of torture and betrayal, she had unlocked the Mangekyō Sharingan. Normally, that would be her limit unless she transplanted another pair of Mangekyō eyes, she could never reach the next stage: the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
And yet now, without any sacrifice, without a sibling's eyes, her vision had evolved again into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Her power had already been formidable with the Mangekyō. Within the Shippuden era, she would've been considered top-tier. And now, she'd broken through even that ceiling.
"It's the chat group!" Izumi immediately understood.
The Harem Chat Group. Any woman who became Kevin's would receive incredible boosts first a miraculous healing, and now, this unprecedented evolution of her eyes.
She looked at Kevin with a new fire in her eyes.
Then, without warning, she straddled him, taking the lead like a wild, untamed knight.
Fortunately, Kevin's stamina had already bounced back, and he was just getting ready for round two. Seeing Izumi take the initiative, he naturally rose to the challenge.
…
"Now that it's over… what do you plan to do next?" Kevin asked, twirling a strand of Izumi's hair around his finger.
"What do I plan to do? Isn't it obvious?" Izumi sneered, her eyes cold and sharp. The once-beautiful girl now carried the air of a deadly serpent. "Revenge. That's the only reason I still exist."
"Revenge, huh? You mean against Uchiha Itachi?" Kevin asked directly.
Truth be told, he didn't like Itachi not because of the whole "dutiful son who killed his clan" narrative. That didn't concern Kevin in the slightest. He just didn't like that Itachi had once been Izumi's first love. As a man who'd finally lost his virginity after two lifetimes, Kevin had no goodwill toward his predecessor in Izumi's heart.
"Of course. Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Obito, Konoha, and even Uchiha Madara they're all on my list," Izumi said coldly, her voice thick with hatred.
"Yeah, makes sense. They're all responsible, in a way. Want me to stay and help?"
"No need," she replied flatly. "Now that I've awakened the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, even Itachi and Obito might not be my match. I can handle this myself."
"I see. So how do you plan to go about it? Oh what about Uchiha Sasuke? He's the only other Uchiha left. Maybe you could pull him to your side, get him to join your revenge mission?"
Kevin was drawing from his memories of Naruto fanfics. Many protagonists would either recruit Sasuke or Naruto to take down Konoha.
"Recruit him? Don't make me laugh." Izumi let out a cold chuckle. "If it weren't for him, the massacre might never have happened. Itachi was the killer, but Sasuke is just as guilty even if he didn't know it at the time."
"Besides, wasn't Itachi obsessed with protecting his precious little brother?" she added, voice dripping with venom. "Then let's start with Sasuke. Let's see how Itachi likes it when his brother suffers."
"You're starting with Sasuke?" Kevin nodded. "Yeah, that might actually drive Itachi over the edge. That guy's the ultimate big brother simp."
"Kill Sasuke? That'd be letting him off too easy," Izumi hissed. "I'll make sure he experiences every ounce of pain I've suffered. I'll make Itachi watch as his beloved little brother is broken. Let's see how long his illusions of heroism last then."
