Sakura (How to Obtain a Reverse Harem in Naruto)

I Can't Cake My Eyes Off You!

Not that Nagato would get to do much mayhem this time around. I've had years to plan this with Tsunade and her trusted advisors.

Never mess with a dedicated fan girl who has time and knowledge on her side.

After this pool party Jiraiya would swoop in and take Naruto off to train until it was time for his Big Hero Entrance.

We had taken countless precautious to warn us the moment Nagato enters the Land of Fire, and the second we know we'll issue the evacuation and replacement.

All civilians will be ushered out through secret underground tunnels far away enough from the danger. As each one enters the tunnel, a clone will replace them.

Not just any clone!

A special clone invented by spy master Jiraiya to essentially perfectly mimic a civilian, and die like a civilian.

Man fūinjutsu was friggin OP. It was the deus ex machina for the Narutoverse.

Got a problem? fūinjutsu can absolutely solve it somehow.

The clones would only last for a few hours, but it should be enough to trick Nagato and Konan so they wouldn't peace the fuck out when they realize it's a trap.

Obviously, though, this still came with risks.

There was a good chance that we would still lose shinobi and kunoichi to their attack.

It was a shame—really, it was—but it was hard to care.

As callous, and cruel, as it might make me sound... I just didn't care about faceless lives anymore.

If I could help them, keep them alive, I would.

But I didn't see an option where I could do that and save Nagato and Konan. Both of which were needed for the least deaths possible in the War Arc.

Sacrifice them here, in exchange for the dozen or so lives saved in Konoha, and lose hundreds during the War Arc.

Or sacrifice a dozen Konoha shinobi and kunoichi here to save hundreds in the War Arc.

It'd be super duper swell if Naruto's Hero Powers could extend to no one dying, but that was impossible in this world.

But those were dreary thoughts and this was a fabulous day, so to heck with that!

"Kakashi, what kind of cake would you like me to jump out of for you?" I asked him, starting to shade in Kisame's cake.

He rubbed his face. "I could have sworn I told you, not even a minute ago, I did not want you to jump out of a cake for me."

"Rhubarb and strawberry?" I suggested.

"No."

"Chocolate banana?"

"No."

"Blueberry?"

"No."

"Oh, I see... Okay, I'll just do marble cake for you," I said, deciding with a firm nod.

"Why do I bother?" he questioned himself.

"I have no clue," I hummed. "I have decided on strawberry cake for Kisame-sama, though. I know he looks badass, but he has a supremely cute sense of taste."

Kakashi sipped his fruity drink through the bendy straw. "Fascinating."

"Completely. You know, Kisame-sama would be happy to see me jump out of a cake for him when I'm eighteen," I told Kakashi.
