'Horrible!'
'He is a monster!'
Even the legendary Uchiha Madara could not have possessed such terrifying strength at such a young age.
"Sasuke..." The Third Hokage's mouth went dry as he witnessed Sasuke's power.
"Your strength far exceeds that of an elite Jonin..."
Sasuke smiled confidently, "I know."
"But I prefer to keep a low profile. No need to make a big deal out of it." He paused and continued, "As long as you, I, and heaven know it, that's enough."
Still maintaining his good-boy facade, Sasuke patted the Third Hokage on the shoulder, "I'm showing you my strength in secret because you, Hokage, are willing to return the Uchiha clan's inheritance to me." He added nonchalantly, "I don't need the ordinary people to know."
The Third Hokage's feelings shifted from shock to awe. No wonder Sasuke had the audacity to flirt with Sakura and Ino in front of everyone. His power was beyond what anyone could comprehend.
"Sasuke!" The Third Hokage's voice was firm, as if he'd made a crucial decision, "I've decided. I support you... in picking up girls."
His tone grew even more resolute, "It would be best if you could marry ten, twenty or more wives, and have many children for the sake of Konoha."
Sasuke's talent was beyond unique.
The abrupt change in the Hokage's attitude was surprising to Sasuke, but not incomprehensible. Looking at the urgency in the Third Hokage's eyes, Sasuke knew exactly why.
If Sasuke were just another ninja, it would be selfish of him to monopolize the beauties of Konoha.
But, after seeing Sasuke's unrivaled potential, the Third Hokage understood something important: If Sasuke's powerful genes were passed down, an extremely strong clan could rise, perhaps even surpassing the original Uchiha.
The tragedy that wiped out the Uchiha still haunted the Third Hokage. He had opposed it, but the tensions between the Uchiha and Konoha were irreparable. Danzo Shimura had pushed for their annihilation, leaving Konoha weakened without the might of the Uchiha.
But now, Sasuke presented a chance for revival.
If Sasuke alone could marry dozens of women and father hundreds of children, the Uchiha clan could rise again in no time. If the curse of the Sharingan could be overcome, the Uchiha would once again be the strongest clan in Konoha, surpassing even the Hyuga.
So, the Third Hokage asked, "Sasuke, can you change the curse of the Uchiha clan?"
Sasuke kept his response simple, "I don't know about the others, but to upgrade my Mangekyō Sharingan, I don't need to kill my loved ones or rely on emotional trauma."
This was the reassurance the Hokage needed. The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, had always distrusted the Uchiha, fearing their power and the extreme emotional triggers that unlocked their Sharingan's full potential. Many Uchiha had even killed their own kin in pursuit of strength. This madness was why the Second Hokage had never trusted them to lead Konoha.
The Third Hokage, burdened with guilt over the Uchiha's destruction, saw Sasuke as his chance at redemption.
If Sasuke could rebuild the clan into something even better, the Third Hokage would finally find peace. It wasn't just Sasuke's immense strength that earned the Hokage's trust, but also his character. Unlike many of his ancestors, Sasuke was responsible and cared about his family, making him a perfect candidate to revive the Uchiha clan.
And besides, the Third Hokage was nearing the end of his reign. After watching his former apprentices—Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya—he had seen the price of unmet expectations. Orochimaru's thirst for power had driven him to betrayal.
Tsunade had fled after losing her loved ones.
Only Jiraiya, for all his faults, had stayed loyal to Konoha, though he was unruly and reckless.
Sasuke was different. Like Jiraiya, he loved women, but he also had a sense of responsibility and loyalty. As long as Konoha was safe, Sasuke would do whatever he pleased, but in times of danger, he would undoubtedly stand to protect the village.
Seeing this, the Third Hokage fully supported Sasuke's quest to rebuild the Uchiha clan.
Sasuke hadn't expected his conversation about Mizuki's death to turn into a discussion about forming a harem, but here they were.
The Hokage's support made Sasuke feel awkward for a moment.
"I'm building a harem... ahem, reviving the Uchiha clan," Sasuke corrected, "But it's best to do this quietly. I prefer to keep a low profile."
The Third Hokage chuckled, "I understand. Sasuke, you can go after the women without a worry. If any parents complain, I'll tell them that reviving the Uchiha clan is a top-priority, S-class mission."
Sasuke couldn't help but laugh, "As expected of the Third Hokage. We make a great team!"
Now, Sasuke had both the support of Konoha's leader and the resources he needed to go about his new "mission."
With the Uchiha clan's inheritance reinstated, Sasuke had the wealth to support dozens of wives. Armed with his newfound freedom and resources, Sasuke set out to find Sakura and Ino.
Unsurprisingly, things weren't as simple as he had hoped. Even though Sakura had been influenced by his Sharingan, she struggled to accept the idea of sharing Sasuke with Ino.
Her heart was conflicted, torn between her feelings for Sasuke and her rivalry with Ino.
If it weren't for Ino's involvement, Sakura would have run to Sasuke eagerly, but for now, she remained alone, wrestling with her thoughts.
Sakura felt conflicted toward Sasuke.
"Sasuke, I was too tired last night and went to bed early." She explained.
Sasuke, now confident after his negotiations with the Third Hokage, couldn't help but tease her. This was the girl he had the deepest feelings for after entering the world of Naruto. Whispering mischievously in her ear, he said, "Have you noticed something missing when your husband's not around?"
But despite her irritation, Sakura couldn't refuse Sasuke's advances.
"Sasuke, stop talking nonsense." She muttered, trying to maintain her composure.
"Tell me the truth, Sasuke, did you drug me?" Sakura asked, showing her sharp instincts.
Sasuke, however, was quick to deny everything. He couldn't let her know about the illusion he had cast on her. But then, an idea sparked in his mind. He'd blame it all on the Third Hokage.
"Sakura, I swear, I'm innocent!" He exclaimed, feigning innocence, "You don't know this, but the Third Hokage wants me to revive the Uchiha clan."
This was indeed the result of his negotiations with the Third Hokage, but now it served as Sasuke's excuse for having a harem in the future.
"Revitalize the Uchiha clan?" Sakura asked, still confused.
Sasuke shamelessly continued, "The Third Hokage thinks I have good genes and wants me to help rebuild the Uchiha clan. He wants me to have at least one or two hundred children!"
Sasuke's words stunned Sakura.
"One or two hundred children?" She repeated, horrified. She couldn't even fathom it—having a child every year would take her more than a hundred years. The thought was terrifying and unimaginable.
"Is the Third Hokage crazy? Why would he suggest such a thing?" Sakura asked, clearly distressed.
"For the sake of Konoha Village." Sasuke replied, "I have to recruit more female ninjas to expand the Uchiha clan."
Sakura, overwhelmed, couldn't take any more of this.
"Stop, stop, stop!" She said, cutting him off. "Sasuke, don't tell me you're actually considering havinreluctantly, —and you expect me to be okay with it?"
Sasuke smirked, "Of course I'm not complaining. I admit it—I can't resist a beautiful woman. But Sakura, you'll always be the most important to me, even more than Ino."
Such sweet words may have worked in an era where men had multiple wives, but in Konoha, where monogamy was the norm, it was jarring to hear.
Sasuke knew it was impossible for Sakura to accept his plans for a harem with just words alone, so he activated his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, blending illusion with persuasion.
Eventually, Sakura's resistance faded, and she agreed reluctantly, "Sasuke, as long as I'm more important than Ino, I'll be okay."
Sasuke hugged her and sighed, "Sakura, I'm sorry that you have to endure this."
Meanwhile, at Ino's house, things were even more complicated. While Sakura was under Sasuke's illusion, Ino was fully aware of everything.
Early that morning, Ino had woken up from a nightmare, her mind racing, "Was everything that happened yesterday real?" she wondered, "No matter how I think about it, it doesn't seem possible…"
Determined to talk to her parents, Ino quickly got dressed. But to her shock, her parents were already under Sasuke's illusion, cast by his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. Even high-level jonin couldn't break free from it easily.
"Ino, we think it's good for you to be with Sasuke." Her parents said.
"But... Sasuke has Sakura too." Ino protested, expecting her parents to scold her.
To her astonishment, they simply replied, "That's okay. Sasuke's role is to rebuild the Uchiha clan. It's natural for him to have multiple wives."
Ino could hardly believe what she was hearing. "Is this really happening?" She thought.
At that moment, Sasuke and Sakura arrived at her house. Ino's parents' words had been part of Sasuke's illusion, designed to legitimize his growing harem.
"Sasuke... Sakura..." Ino's voice wavered. She couldn't even bring herself to meet their eyes.

Sasuke, in an unusually domestic mood, made two bowls of ramen using Ichiraku's famous recipe in Ino's kitchen. He served them to Ino and Sakura.
Despite his schemes, Sasuke treated them well. Both girls had futures filled with potential, yet now they found themselves in his harem.
"Ino, here's some pocket money." Sasuke said, generously offering her a sum of money. After negotiating with the Third Hokage, he had gained access to part of the Uchiha clan's inheritance and was now sharing it with Ino.
Ino, though tired and confused, was touched. She had spent the previous day coming to terms with her relationship with Sasuke, and now this gesture left her even more conflicted.
"Sasuke, I don't need your money." Ino said, genuinely, knowing she wasn't with Sasuke for material reasons.
Sasuke smiled and kissed her, "Silly girl, you're my woman now. I want you to be the happiest woman in the world."
Ino blushed, not from the money but from Sasuke's words. Despite his romantic nature, few men in Konoha treated women with such attention.
"Okay, get some rest." Sasuke said, "Don't worry. Your husband, will always be by your side."
His words calmed Ino's worries. Though Sasuke hadn't been experienced in love before, his time as an anime fan had taught him plenty. He knew how poorly things could go for men who didn't treat their women well.
With Sasuke's current strength, he didn't need to fear betrayal, but he also didn't want to lead a harem of unhappy women. For Sasuke, a truly successful harem meant keeping all his women happy and content.
Later, after Ino fell asleep, Sasuke carried Sakura away. He had briefly considered letting Sakura and Ino sleep together, given their past friendship. But now, they were both part of his harem. Though tired, they would eventually get used to sharing everything—including him.
