Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

She was a straightforward and proactive girl in the original story, but he has now cultivated her into this somewhat weak and tactful personality, which makes him feel a little guilty.

"Consider this your punishment for trying to lie to me."

Bai Yunqingye said with a straight face.

"Aoba~ I'm so sorry~"

Sakura hugged Shirakumo Aoba's arm and apologized in a deliberately coquettish tone.

The sound of the clips being cut gave Baiyun and Qingye goosebumps.

"Don't use that tone of voice!"

He pinched Sakura's little nose in an annoyed manner.

"Hmm~ I understand."

Sakura's voice returned to normal, but she couldn't help but complain again, "Aoba is so strange. The books say that boys like it when girls talk like that."

"What book are you reading?" Bai Yunqingye asked curiously.

"It's the super popular 'Make-Out Paradise' right now," Sakura replied with a serious expression.

"The one written by Jiraiya?"

"Uh-huh."

Upon hearing this, Baiyun Qingye's expression turned somewhat strange. "But isn't that a pornographic book?"

Sakura pinched the muscles on Shirokumo Aoba's arm and explained with a smile, "Although there are indeed some parts that are not suitable for children, romance is the main focus of this book. Besides, I even saw Naruto and the others' teacher watching it when they were helping an old lady cross the street."

"Besides, Jiraiya-sama looks very experienced, and he's a boy. I thought everything he wrote in his books was correct."

Experienced?

Speaking of which, did Jiraiya ever have a serious relationship?

"Ah!"

Bai Yun Qingye chuckled and narrowed her eyes, "So you knew there was something inappropriate for children in it and still went to watch it?"

"This……"

Sakura's smile froze, and she made a pinching motion with her thumb and forefinger. "Actually... I only watched a little bit... just the romance part."

"Really? Do you think I'd believe that?"

"..."

Sakura puffed out her cheeks and leaned her face closer so that Shirokumo Aoba could knead them.

After feeling satisfied, Shirokumo Aoba let Sakura go.

"Alright, now tell me what you were originally trying to hide?"

Sakura rubbed her flushed cheeks with a hint of grievance and said softly.

"Aoba... do you think there can be two people inside one person's body?"

"Dual personality?"

Baiyun Qingye suddenly realized, "Didn't Sakura know she had two personalities before?"

Sakura nodded. "I discovered that there's another me inside me!"

"Another you?"

Baiyun Qingye feigned surprise, "Tell me in detail."

Sakura leaned close to Shirokumo Aoba's ear and whispered something.

"I discovered this when I tried to separate my soul from my body after practicing the art of spiritual transformation. I realized I have a second personality. I read about it in a medical book before; it's a mental illness..."

"Is your progress in cultivating the Spirit Transformation Technique so fast because of this second personality?"

Baiyun Qingye asked again.

Sakura nodded: "How should I put it? Because I have a dual personality, when I'm awake, the two personalities think together, and when I'm asleep, the other personality helps me control my chakra and continue practicing ninjutsu."

Shirakumo Aoba, who already knew that Sakura had a dual personality, wasn't particularly surprised at first, but after hearing the story, he was truly shocked.

This isn't some kind of mental illness, it's a dual-core processor, Sakura, your cheat code!

When training in ninjutsu—

Sakura: Please, another me!

This increases efficiency several times over!

"Shouldn't this be a good thing? Or will she have a negative impact on you?"

Sakura thought for a moment, then shook her head, because the other person was just a secondary personality, so they would listen to her in everything.

Not only did it have no negative impact, it was even of great help to her, much like the spiritual transformation technique, which was largely due to the other party's efforts.

However, what she was truly worried about was...

"Will Aoba hate me? I'm clearly one person, but I have two personalities. It's like I'm a... monster."

This is what Sakura has been worried about.

"Of course not, but..."

Baiyun Qingye's voice paused for a moment.

Sakura also looked at the other person with a nervous expression.

He then looked at Sakura with a curious expression and said...

"If there really are two Sakuras, I'm very curious about what the other Sakura is like. Sakura, can I see her?"

Sakura's expression became a little awkward under the gaze, and she pursed her lips. "She... her personality might be a little difficult... Won't Aoba mind?"

"of course not."

Bai Yunqingye said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Sakura hesitated for a moment.

"After I successfully cultivate the Spirit Transformation Technique, I will let Qingye take a look."

Chapter 197 "The King and His Mount"

Sakura seems to not want him to see her second personality.

This puzzled Shirokumo Aoba.

However, since he has agreed, he should be able to see Sakura once she completes her training.

Although ordinary people cannot see the souls created by the Spirit Transformation Technique, the Spirit Transformation Technique can enter dreams or directly enter the spiritual world.

He will still be able to see him.

What he didn't know was that Sakura's mind was already in turmoil.

Why did you speak ill of me in front of Aoba?

Risaka said with great dissatisfaction.

Because it was Sakura's alternate personality, Sakura simply named the other person "Alien Sakura".

“Where did I say anything bad about you?” Sakura retorted.

"Hmph!" Ri Sakura snorted lightly. "You just told Aoba that I have a bad personality. Did you think I didn't hear you?"

"Are you deliberately trying to prevent me from meeting Aoba?"

Sakura frowned, also becoming dissatisfied. "You're just my alternate personality, why do you insist on meeting Aoba? Besides, if I meet Aoba, isn't that the same as you meeting Aoba?"

"No way!" Riss retorted angrily, "I like Aoba too, why can't it be the other way around? If I'm with Aoba, isn't that the same as you being with Aoba?"

"What did you say?!" Sakura looked like she'd seen a ghost.

This is completely contrary to the principles of Heaven!

"Hmph! Now that I have my own thoughts and my own will, I should have the right to be with Aoba!"

As Sakura's alter ego, Ryou Sakura's experiences over the past few years are equivalent to her own experiences.

Therefore, her affection for Aoba is no less than that for Sakura.

Although Sakura could also understand that experience, it was like watching a movie. Even if you were there in person, it wouldn't be as good as experiencing it yourself.

She no longer wanted to endure that feeling of seeing something but not being able to touch it.

Now that she has the opportunity to truly get to know him, she naturally wants to fight for her own happiness.

She wanted to taste the green leaves herself.

"You better stop now! I am the owner of this body!"

You are merely my alternate personality; without me, where would you be! Do you intend to rebel?

"Hmph, how can you be so selfish? You can watch Ino and the others be with Aoba, so what's wrong with sharing some of Aoba's affection with me?"

"you……"

Sakura suddenly felt a strange, indescribable feeling.

What is this called?

I'm cheating on myself?

Sakura continued, "Besides, we share the same body, so we should be on the same side! If we cooperate, we'll be more competitive when competing with Tenten and Ino!"

"If you... you start arguing, Aoba will definitely hate you!"

"Hmph! What an idiot! Did you read all those books for nothing?" Risaka snorted.

"Who says competition has to involve arguing?"

"When the time comes, the two of us together will have so many more ways to have fun than if we were alone!"

"Wh...what?!" Sakura blushed.

"Don't you want to have more Aoba, or even have Aoba all to yourself?"
