In the early morning, Naraku woke up early to prepare ingredients, marveling that his knife skills were much better than the first time he helped Kakashi cut vegetables.
Sakumo had left the village for a mission a few days ago, and now there were only two children at home, so they had to do everything themselves.
Fortunately, he and Kakashi were both used to self-reliance, so they didn't feel it was particularly hard.
Before long, Kakashi also came over. One of them cooked vegetables and the other fried meat, and they quickly made a simple breakfast, also preparing bento boxes for lunch.
"Kakashi, are you planning to graduate early?"
Walking to school, Naraku brought up the matter. If Kakashi decided to graduate early, then he would also have to hurry up and meet the graduation requirements.
If Kakashi left him and chose to graduate alone, he would have no CP to sell, and the effect of gaining popularity would definitely be greatly reduced.
And most importantly, he didn't want to be separated from him either.
Please, this is Kakashi. Who would complain about spending too much time with him?
"Hmm... that was the plan before."
Kakashi nodded hesitantly.
Before he became involved with Naraku, he indeed felt there was nothing worth staying in school for, but now, he didn't want to graduate so early anymore.
Looking at Naraku's clear eyes, Kakashi unconsciously spoke his current thoughts: "But I want to wait for you to graduate together."
As soon as the words left his mouth, he immediately regretted it.
Speaking so directly was truly embarrassing, and Naraku's eyes, which grew even brighter with surprise, made Kakashi hastily try to cover up, like a startled kitten.
"I just think if the two of us graduate at the same time, we can look out for each other on missions later."
—It's not that I don't want to be separated from you.
Kakashi added silently in his heart, not daring to look at Naraku's expression. He walked ahead with big strides and awkwardly changed the subject: "Hurry up, we're going to be late."
"Mm! Okay!"
Naraku quickly walked a few steps to catch up with him, but he kept chuckling inwardly. So he was that important to Kakashi, and the tsundere Kakashi in his childhood was so cute—just seeing him was a gain...
Sitting in the classroom, Naraku happily had the System open the forum, checking with a joyful mood whether he had attracted a high level of discussion.
As expected, the Animator's series of actions brought him a lot of popularity. New posts about Naraku Uchiha sprang up like mushrooms after rain, and various discussion posts and fan creations were more popular than the last.

"The First Uchiha in Hokage History to Awaken the Sharingan Due to Pure Kindness" [Hot]
1L (OP): As the title says, everyone used to think that the Uchiha could only awaken the Sharingan through intense hatred born of love, but Naraku broke that stereotype.
2L: The Uchiha are a Clan of Love. Sure enough, Tobirama understood the Uchiha best.
3L (OP): This indirectly shows that Naraku is truly a very kind person. For so many years, no extreme hatred grew in his heart; instead, he awakened his Sharingan because he felt love.
4L: Now those Uchiha haters have nothing to say, right? The Uchiha are not some crazy family!
5L: But it's also a fact that Uchiha become more extreme after awakening their Sharingan. So many Uchiha who awakened their Sharingan before basically went crazier and crazier.
6L: Kagami Uchiha didn't. He was always a normal person, just not very talkative. And most unnamed background Uchiha seemed quite normal; it's just that the few with more screentime created a survivor bias...
7L: Specifically calling out Madara Uchiha (pointing.JPG)
...
14L: Please, Old Thief, let Naraku stay normal in the future. Don't let him become a maniacally laughing Uchiha (sweat).
15L: I can't imagine Naraku wildly laughing while killing people...
16L: Knock on wood; Old Thief wouldn't be so cruel to us, would he?
...
21L: The few upstairs are probably overthinking it. I think even if Naraku goes crazy in the future, it's more likely he'll become yandere.
22L: Oh oh oh oh oh ~ spicy ~!
23L: I can't wait to see Naraku lose control because of Kakashi!
—
Naraku thoughtfully pinched his chin, considering the possibility of adding some yandere attributes to himself in the future. Unable to decide for a moment, he simply had the System make a note in the memo as a backup plan.

"Old Thief, I Forgive You for the Torment of the Previous Episodes"
1L (OP): , , , , . This episode is so healing; it warmed my dead body.
2L: Old Thief is rarely so tender.
3L: My high blood pressure was cured. Old Thief is a miracle doctor.
4L: Upstairs, you got your high blood pressure because of him too (witty).
...
"Only Love Can Nurture a Passionate and Brilliant Rose" [Hot]
1L (OP): . I teared up when Naraku awakened his Sharingan. I immediately snuck in a family portrait during work hours! May they continue to be happy like this forever.
2L: The Hatake Father and Son and Naraku (confirmed).
3L: Ah ah ah ah, Ms. Anchovy, you are my god! You draw so well!
4L: Wuwuwu TAT... Naraku should have been this happy to begin with!
...
9L: Almost at the same level as Old Thief's original art. Ms. Anchovy, have you considered going undercover at Old Thief's place?
10L (OP): To be honest, I've never seen Old Thief's team recruiting online. Maybe they don't lack artists at all.
11L: Indeed, after so many years, Old Thief is still very mysterious, hardly ever showing his face.
...
"Naraku and Kakashi Are So Suitable for Dog and Cat Personifications"
1L (OP): I couldn't resist, so I drew two pictures of puppy Naraku and kitty Kakashi. . .
2L: They're too cute!
3L: I've already imagined a ten-thousand-word fanfiction of kitty Kakashi picking up a stray puppy.
4L: Cat and dog CP is indeed an eternal classic... So good...
—
Naraku silently saved the fan art posted in these two threads, wishing he could also blow rainbow farts to the two artists in the comments below, but unfortunately, with the System's current functions, it wasn't enough to support him leaving comments on the internet of another world.
Clicking his tongue regretfully, he continued to scroll down the page, wanting to see if there was any more good stuff, but his eyes were firmly caught by a certain title.

"Sunlight Like the Sea (Kakashi x Naraku)"
1L (OP): Passionate short piece, OOC is mine, love is theirs... The end.
2L: "From then on, the sunlight was like the sea." I'm just spinning and crying, wuwuwuwu...
3L: Crying and laughing in the library; everyone thought I went crazy studying for the postgraduate exam... T-T...
4L: Same as above; I didn't dare to make a sound, it was so hard to hold it in.
—
Things are looking up; now people are even writing fanfiction for them.
Naraku was absolutely overjoyed.
Are you kidding? That's fanfiction about him and Kakashi. This is absolutely awesome, isn't it?

"Uchiha Naraku Fan-made Animation - If There Was an If (Angsty)"
1L (OP): [Image from fan animation], [Image from fan animation], [Image from fan animation]. [Link to video]. It's been a long time since I made a fan-made animation. I worked hard for seventeen hours to make this (really, I'm completely drained.JPG). Everyone is welcome to give me a triple like...
2L: Madam, you are truly a master of angst. Old Thief comforted me, but you came again o(╥﹏╥)o
3L: As expected of Ms. Harukaze Ruxu, her skill hasn't diminished over the years...
4L: Madam, please take me with you, Madam T-T... How can I live without you, ah ah!
—
After watching this three-minute fan-made animation, Naraku said: I learned something. I'll try it when I get a chance later.
Just thinking about making the audience cry their eyes out, he couldn't help but smile.
Indeed, people need to pool their ideas. If it weren't for this artist, he wouldn't have thought of such a brilliant idea.
While there was still some time before class ended, Naraku opened a few more posts. His expression remained calm, but in his heart, he was overjoyed while reading the posts.
