Naruto Immersive Replay, The Curse of the Sharingan

During class, Sasuke was listening attentively to Iruka's explanation of the application techniques of the Three Body Technique when he suddenly felt his chair being gently kicked from behind.

He turned around in confusion and looked at Uchiha Nagi sitting behind him.

You weren't looking at him; your gaze seemed to be fixed on your textbook. But the moment he turned around, you suddenly looked up and gave him a smile.

Sasuke's heart felt like it had been hit by something, skipping a beat for a moment before starting to beat wildly and uncontrollably. His cheeks and ears flushed red at a visible speed.

She...she smiled at me?

What means?

Is it... that they finally noticed me?

Countless thoughts bubbled up in Sasuke's mind, leaving him momentarily at a loss.

He hurriedly turned around, forcing himself to stare at the blackboard, but Iruka's voice seemed distant, and the fleeting smile from just moments before kept replaying in his mind.

Sitting next to you, Nara Shikamaru frowned slightly, resting his chin on his hand, feeling that there was something strange about Uchiha Nagi today.

He couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange, but it was a kind of overly active feeling, unlike his usual quiet and indifferent demeanor.

Forget it, I can't figure it out, too much trouble.

Shikamaru decided to give up thinking and prepare to go to sleep as usual.

Just as his eyelids were about to close, someone gently poked his side with a finger.

"!" Shikamaru jolted awake, instantly becoming more alert, and turned his head in surprise.

Before he knew it, you had moved so close to him that he could almost see your long eyelashes and smell the cool, crisp scent of pine branches after a snowfall.

"Shikamaru," you whispered, "wake up, let's do something fun?"

The distance was too close, and his breath brushed against his ear. Shikamaru felt his cheeks begin to burn uncontrollably, and his heartbeat became somewhat erratic.

He tried to remain calm and took a step back. "What...do you want to do?"

Nagi Uchiha is acting so strangely today!

A sly smile played on your lips. You gestured with your eyes to the unsettled Uchiha Sasuke in the front row and whispered, "Let's bother him together."

Upon hearing this, Shikamaru felt an even stronger sense of unease.

While Uchiha Nagi is certainly not a well-behaved girl, actively provoking and even mischievously bothering others, especially Uchiha Sasuke, is really not like her.

"Why?" Shikamaru couldn't help but ask, wanting to know the logic behind this unusual behavior.

You shrugged, a nonchalant expression on your face, and replied in a clear and flat tone, "Just plain annoying."

Shikamaru's eyes widened slightly; this was the first time he had ever heard such negative emotions directed at a specific person from you.

According to his observation, you have an indifferent attitude towards most people and things, and you are too lazy to even put in the effort to express your dislike.

And Uchiha Sasuke, it seems... he's interested in you.

I wonder how Sasuke would feel if he heard the girl he likes tell him out loud that she hates him?

This thought inexplicably made Shikamaru feel happy, and his "the more the merrier" mentality took over.

He nodded, which was his way of agreeing to this temporary prank alliance.

Class time slowly passed as Iruka, suppressing his anger, lectured.

Uchiha Sasuke tried to concentrate, but the subtle noises coming from behind him kept disturbing his thoughts.

Sitting behind him, Uchiha Nagi seemed unusually restless today.

She would either gently poke his back with the tip of her pen, or deliberately roll the eraser to his feet, or even suddenly reach out and tug at his hair while he was taking notes.

And every time he angrily turns around to glare, he always meets Nara Shikamaru's innocent eyes and your calm demeanor.

Sasuke's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, a fire burning within him.

He glared fiercely at Shikamaru, almost certain that this troublemaker had given him some terrible advice behind his back!

Otherwise, given your tendency to avoid trouble, why would you suddenly start bothering him?

Shikamaru, who had been inexplicably glared at several times, felt wronged and couldn't understand where Sasuke's inexplicable hostility came from.

In this eerie atmosphere, the school bell rang as if to offer salvation.

The instant the bell rang, before the whole class could even get up from their seats, Uchiha Sasuke, like a cheetah that had been poised for a long time, grabbed your wrist and rushed out of the classroom like a gust of wind!

Sasuke led you all the way to a secluded corner behind the school building before suddenly stopping, letting go of your hand, but still blocking your way to prevent you from escaping.

He looks down at you, his eyes burning with anger and resentment at being mocked.

"Let go of me!" You rubbed your wrist, which was slightly red from his grip, your tone filled with dissatisfaction.

"What exactly do you mean?" Sasuke stared at you, his voice cold and hard. "Why did you keep distracting me during class?"

Although he was angry, deep down he still gave you a chance to explain. He hoped to hear a reasonable, even if lame, reason.

Faced with his questioning, you suddenly tilted your head, a playful and sly smile on your face, and deliberately softened your voice, drawing out the words, "Sasuke-kun~ it was just a joke, don't take it so seriously~"

Sasuke's hair stood on end instantly, and alarm bells rang in his mind!

This is definitely not Uchiha Nagi!

That guy with the empty eyes, the flat tone, and the indifference to everything would never have such an expression or speak in such a tone!

"Who are you?" Sasuke's eyes sharpened like knives, his body instantly on high alert, and he demanded sharply, "Where is the real Uchiha Nagi?!"

You seemed startled by his reaction, your eyes flickered, and instead of answering his question, your gaze swept over his shoulder as if you'd seen a savior, and you suddenly shouted, "Help! Someone's harassing a girl!"

The sound was crisp and clear, instantly spreading throughout the quiet corner.

The moment the words left his mouth, a green figure rushed over like a whirlwind!

"Who is it?! Who dares to bully Konoha's comrades! Especially the beautiful lady!" Rock Lee, wearing his signature green bodysuit, frowned and assumed a fighting stance.

When he saw the scene before him, with Uchiha Sasuke fiercely blocking the frail you, his sense of justice instantly surged!

"Don't be afraid! Uchiha! I'm here to save you!" Rock Lee roared, and without saying another word, he launched a Leaf Whirlwind kick at Sasuke!

Sasuke never expected that a dark horse would suddenly appear out of nowhere, especially this hot-blooded idiot known for his taijutsu! He subconsciously loosened his grip on you and turned to the side to block Rock Lee's swift attack.

"Hey! You've got it wrong! Rock Lee!" Sasuke tried to explain while fending off a barrage of taijutsu attacks.

"No need for further explanation! Bullying girls is unforgivable!" Lee Locke wouldn't listen at all, and his attacks became even more ferocious.

The two immediately engaged in a fierce fight in the corner, the sounds of their fists and feet attracting more and more students to watch.

Wow! It's Sasuke and Rock Lee!

Why are they fighting?

"It seems to be because of that Uchiha Nagi..."

Two men vying for one woman? How exciting!

The corner was packed with people talking and curious glances.

Hyuga Neji, who was passing by with Tenten, also came over when he heard the commotion, intending to break up the fight.

When he activated his Byakugan and saw you standing outside the battle circle, watching the fight with great interest, his pure white eyes suddenly narrowed, and he froze.

"Neji! What's wrong? Quick, help separate them! Lee seems to be having a hard time beating that cool guy!" Tenten urged anxiously from the side.

Neji didn't move; his Byakugan stared intently at you, his brows furrowed.

Just as Rock Lee and Sasuke were locked in a fierce battle, with Rock Lee seemingly falling behind, Neji finally made his move.

He darted into the fray, precisely separating the two attackers and forcefully pulling Rock Lee back from his charge.

"Neji! Don't stop me! This guy is bullying Nagi Uchiha!" Rock Lee shouted as he struggled.

Neji leaned close to Rock Lee's ear and whispered a few words quickly in a voice only the two of them could hear.

The anger and urgency on Lee Rock's face froze instantly, turning into astonishment and confusion.

He glanced at Neji, then at you who looked completely innocent, and finally stopped what he was doing. He scratched his head and muttered, "...Oh, I see."

Sasuke looked at Rock Lee, who had suddenly stopped, and Neji, who looked serious. Although he didn't understand why, he was too lazy to argue any further.

Sasuke straightened his somewhat disheveled clothes, filled with anger and questions, and turned back to the classroom. When he pushed open the classroom door, he saw an even more chaotic scene.

You've cornered Shino Aburame against the classroom wall, one hand braced against the wall, forming a classic wall-slamming pose.

"Shino, can I borrow your sunglasses for a bit? They look pretty cool."

Shino Aburame, who was pinned against the wall, froze completely. Her cheeks, hidden under her high-necked coat, turned bright red, and her breathing became rapid.

The parasites inside him stirred slightly due to his master's intense emotional turmoil, but he was completely unable to control his body or speech, stammering, unable to utter a single word, "I...you...that..."

Hinata Hyuga, sitting not far away, seemed to know something. Her face turned red as she lowered her head and unconsciously drew circles on her textbook with her pen, not daring to look in that direction.

Sakura Haruno's mind went blank at your sudden domineering behavior.

She tried hard to find a reason for you, "First, there must be some reason, right? Nagi...maybe she just wanted to examine Shino's sunglasses?"

She couldn't even convince herself of this reason.

Unlike Sakura's confusion, Ino Yamanaka, witnessing this scene, clutched her heart with both hands, her emerald eyes gleaming with excitement, and whispered a shriek, "Ahhh! This is it! Domineering yet mysterious! Overflowing with boyfriend charm! So cool!"

The other students in the classroom stared in disbelief at this incredible scene, completely baffled.

Chapter 311 Exposure

Shino Aburame used all his strength to push you away from him. His back hit the cold wall with a dull thud, and his cheeks under his sunglasses flushed uncontrollably, the blush spreading all the way to his ears.

My heart was pounding in my chest, not from palpitations, but from a violent mix of feelings of offense and shock.

"You...you really went too far!" Shino's voice carried a rare hint of anger and a barely perceptible tremor.

Shikamaru leaned against the window, taking in Shino's intense reaction and your unusual panic.

His keen intuition told him that things were definitely not simple.

Thinking back on all the subtle unease he felt today—your gait, the way you looked at people, even your overly obvious impatience with Sasuke—a bold conjecture took shape in his mind.

To verify this hypothesis, Shikamaru lazily swept his gaze across the classroom, landing on Kiba Inuya, who was dozing off on his desk, and Akamaru, who was also drowsy in his arms.

He moved his feet silently, and taking advantage of Kiba's inattention, he used an extremely skillful technique to pull Akamaru out of Kiba's arms.

Before Akamaru could even figure out what was going on, Shikamaru swiftly and unexpectedly shoved him into your arms!

"Woohoo—!!!"

The moment Akamaru's little nose touched you, it was as if it had been struck by a high-voltage electric current. Its fur stood on end instantly, and it let out a shrill, terrified cry. It kicked its limbs frantically, desperately trying to escape!

You were clearly quite frightened when a frantically struggling puppy was suddenly shoved into your arms!

You let out a short gasp and frantically tossed the Akamaru in your arms away like a hot potato, your movements clumsy and completely devoid of your usual composure.

The white ball of fluff traced an arc and flew straight to the other side of the classroom.

Sasuke Uchiha, who had been observing coldly, instinctively reached out and caught Akamaru, who was being thrown at him.

Akamaru fell into his arms, still trembling like a leaf in the wind, burying her head tightly in his arms, sobbing incessantly.

Sasuke looked down at the terrified puppy in his arms, then raised his eyes, his gaze like a cold blade, piercing straight at you who stood there, pale-faced and with shifty eyes.

No further evidence is needed.

Akamaru's reaction, and your flustered behavior just now, have said it all.

Where is the real you? Why is Naruto impersonating you? What are you trying to do?

Countless questions instantly flooded Sasuke's mind. He didn't immediately expose you, unsure of your true purpose in orchestrating all this. Acting rashly might disrupt the plan or even cause trouble.

He gently stroked Akamaru's back, trying to soothe its fear, while giving the imposter a warning glare with his cold eyes.

Just then, Kiba Inuzuka, who had been woken up by the noise, rubbed his eyes and came over, looking at Akamaru in Sasuke's arms with a blank expression. "Huh? How did Akamaru get here? What's wrong with it? Why is it shaking so badly?"

Sasuke, too lazy to explain, simply shoved the still trembling Akamaru back into Kiba's arms with a blank expression and coldly said, "Keep your dog in check."

Kiba held Akamaru, looking at its terrified expression, then glanced at you over there with your unnatural expression and at Shikamaru and Shino, whose atmosphere was strange.

Although he was full of doubts, he also sensed that something was wrong, and muttered as he carried Akamaru back to his seat.

Shikamaru took in everything, especially Sasuke's choice to remain silent, and he raised an eyebrow knowingly.

It seems that he wasn't the only one who noticed the problem; in fact, Sasuke made the same choice.

If there are any problems, you should at least wait until after school to find the real you and ask him/her clearly.
