Nino's eyes widened in disbelief. "He what!?" she exclaimed, her voice laced with shock. Sasuke had effortlessly taken down four guys all by himself. A twinge of envy stirred within her; she had a soft spot for guys with that kind of strength.
"Yeah, he took on Natsu and his crew," Ichika replied, her cheeks tinged with a rosy hue as she recalled the sight of Sasuke in action.
"He was so confident! The way he released my hand, that smug smile he flashed at Natsu, and how swiftly he handled them all... Oh my gosh, he's just so hot!" Ichika gushed, her excitement bubbling over.
"Did you thank him?" Yotsuba inquired, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"Of course! Don't be stupid!" Ichika retorted, her cheeks flushing as she slipped back into her shy demeanor.
"Isn't he supposed to come over for lessons today?" Miku chimed in, tilting her head.
"Yes, but I have no idea how I'm going to face him," Ichika admitted, burying her face in a couch pillow. Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she turned to Nino.
"Nino, can I take a look at the dresses you like to wear?"
"Why do you want to know?" Nino replied, raising an eyebrow.
"Sasuke mentioned he prefers girls... who dress modestly," Ichika said, her face hidden once again behind the pillow.
"Ok, I can show you. Later though." Nino said, smirking teasingly.
Suddenly, the doorbell chimed, announcing Sasuke's arrival.
"Oh, he's here!" Yotsuba exclaimed. "I'll get it!" She hurried to the door, swinging it open to reveal Sasuke standing there.
"Yo," he greeted casually, offering her a peace sign.
"Come on in!" Yotsuba beamed, her trademark "Idiot grin" lighting up her face, the same one that Naruto loved to make.
As he stepped inside, Sasuke spotted Ichika already settled at the table.
"Oh, Ichika, you're here already," he said, a smile creeping onto his face.
Ichika fumbled for words, managing to stutter, "Yeah, I j-jumped the gun a bit, you know?"
"You're in a lively mood today," he laughed softly.
Ichika couldn't help but avert her gaze. The magnetic charm of Sasuke's presence was overwhelming, and she found herself utterly folding because of it.
Nino slid into the seat beside her, a bright smile directed at Sasuke. "I'm here," she announced. The other sisters, with the exception of Yotsuba, were taken aback. What kind of spell had this guy cast to earn Nino's cooperation?
Sasuke returned her smile with a charming grin. "Pleased to make your acquaintance, your highness," he said, executing a playful bow. Soon after, Yotsuba and Itsuki joined in. Miku, noticing the enthusiasm of her sisters, realized she had no option but to join the as well.
Sasuke faced the sisters, his expression serious yet encouraging.
"Alright, everyone, I've prepared some tests for you to complete. Don't worry; this is just to identify your strengths so I can guide you effectively," he explained, distributing the papers with a steady hand.
"You have one hour to wrap this up. A score of 40 points is what you need to pass; anything less means you failed." He took a moment to let his words sink in as the sisters scrambled for their pens. "You can start now. I'll be on the balcony," he added before stepping away.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke couldn't help but laugh at the unexpected turn of events. The sisters had managed to score a perfect 100 points... together.
"Wow, you all really are something," he remarked nonchalantly.
"Shut up!" Nino shot back, her eyes narrowing. "I'll make sure to break your legs."
"Is that supposed to sound menacing? Because all I hear are adorable kitten sounds," Sasuke replied, a smug grin spreading across his face, which made Nino look away in irritation.
Sasuke chuckled again. "Anyway, I've noticed that each of you excels in at least one subject." He paused.
"Care to tell us which ones?" Miku inquired, her curiosity piqued.
"Well, Miku has the highest scores among all of you. So, she's less of an idiot than the rest of you. Still an idiot though." This comment earned him an annoyed pout from Miku.
"Ichika excels in Math, Nino in English, Miku in Social Studies, Yotsuba in Japanese, and Itsuki in Science. You girls should help each other in subjects that you might not be good at. Think about it." Sasuke urged them.
Sasuke looked around with a playful glint in his eye. "I've got a special friend joining us today to help with your tutoring. Can anyone guess who it might be?"
Yotsuba's hand shot up like a rocket. "Master Sasuke!" she exclaimed, her excitement bubbling over.
"Yes, my dear student, who do you think—" Sasuke began, only to be interrupted by Yotsuba's enthusiastic shout.
"Naruto-kun!" she declared triumphantly.
"Right on the mark!" Sasuke replied, his voice filled with enthusiasm.
Sweat glistened on the sisters' brows as they watched Sasuke and Yotsuba engage in their playful shenanigans.
"I can't believe Sasuke is being so silly!" Nino exclaimed as she started laughing uncontrollably.
"Seriously!" Itsuki agreed, a smile creeping onto her face.
Suddenly, the doorbell chimed, cutting through the laughter. Sasuke and Yotsuba paused, their fun momentarily halted.
"That's got to be him," Sasuke remarked, striding over to the door.
Opening the door, Sasuke grinned as he gave Naruto a fist bump. Naruto walked into the place, exclaiming about how big the place was.
"WOW, THIS PLACE IS INCREDIBLE!" Naruto shouted, his eyes darting around as he zipped through every corner, practically teleporting with excitement.
Sasuke nodded in agreement, his lively interaction with Naruto catching the sisters' attention. They were taken aback by this unexpected side of him, marveling at his capacity for silliness.
"Is this really Sasuke?" Nino inquired, her eyebrows raised in surprise.
"It certainly looks that way," Ichika responded, a playful grin spreading across her face as she observed his quirky antics.
Sasuke turned to address the sisters. "Listen, this is—"
"NARUTO-KUN!" Yotsuba interrupted, leaping onto Naruto with infectious enthusiasm.
Naruto, momentarily startled, quickly embraced her, a smile breaking across his face.
"Hey there, Yotsuba!"
