As I ponder which manipulation technique to use on Hana, my twin sister, I realize there are many options at my disposal. Gaslighting, love bonding, isolation, mind control, suggestive influence, playing on vulnerability, and even Stockholm Syndrome are all methods I could employ. After considering them, I decide to go with a combination of love bonding and Stockholm Syndrome. Hana already has a deep attachment to me, and with careful control of my behavior, it should be easy to make her mine. As long as I play the role of a loving, yet strict brother, she will fall deeper into my grasp.
For Hana's virginity, I will take it once she becomes a Genin. System, adjust the timeline for both Hana and Satsuki, shifting it so they are at the right age.
As the system acknowledges and shifts the timeline, I begin my plan to manipulate Hana into becoming a super bro-con—one who would do anything for her brother. The Stockholm Syndrome method will help me achieve this by making her feel affection for me, even as I abuse her during training. She will believe that I am pushing her to be stronger so that she can support me in dangerous situations.
The second method I employ is love bonding. If I only act as a stern instructor during her training, she might begin to think I don't care about her. So, I will shower her with praise, compliments, and affection. This will make her forget the abuse during training and reinforce her bro-con tendencies, until she becomes completely dependent on me. However, I will control this obsession, ensuring it doesn't interfere with my broader goals, particularly my dream of creating a harem.
As for my mother, I will make her fall in love with me using love bombing, scarcity, and neglect. Love bombing will involve making her proud of the fact that she helped me and Hana become so powerful from birth, winning her over emotionally. Scarcity and neglect will then make her believe that I no longer love her as much as I used to, creating a sense of insecurity that will drive her to crave my attention more.
Mikoto Uchiha and Izumi are on my radar, but there's still time before the massacre of their clan occurs, so I can afford to wait. Satsuki Uchiha, however, is a different case. I have already begun my plan for her. Every night, I sneak into her house, leaving notes and complimenting her on her looks, her clothing, and the things she likes, such as weapons and chocolates. I know she enjoys being praised, so I continue to shower her with admiration. This has already started to tie her emotions to me, and I have no doubt it will soon lead to her falling for me.
As I continue my training with Hana, I notice a strange change in my hair color. I guess it's because Naruto never existed in this world, and my presence is being distorted. I need to find a new name before my old identity fades completely.
I also begin practicing with Hana as a heartless brother, pointing out her weaknesses during our sparring sessions. She looks dejected after each match, but I always praise her afterward for the moves she did well, petting her head as a reward. I continue this cycle of harsh training and affection for four days. During these days, I also work on my mother, praising her cooking and the training she's given me and Hana.
At night, I visit Satsuki's room to deliver notes with gifts, complimenting her on everything from her clothes to her training. This continued effort strengthens the bond between us.
As part of my plan, I also use Shadow Clone Jutsu. Clone #001 is tasked with following Satsuki around, observing her every action, from what she eats to what she likes. Clones #002 and #003 travel outside Konoha to Mount Hakurei, a secret location only accessible to the greatest sages. Meanwhile, Clones #004 through #010 are sent to the forbidden Abyssal Wastes, a dangerous area where I can train without relying on chakra, increasing my power through intense, multi-faceted training.
On the seventh day, Kushina tells us there will be no training today. We are going to the Uchiha clan household to meet Mikoto and her children, and Hana and I are given a brief break. Kushina turns to me and says, "Naruto, you've almost mastered every taijutsu style." Then, she turns to Hana and adds, "You're also almost at Naruto's level in taijutsu, and both of you have steady progress in ninjutsu and chakra chains."
That night, we rest, knowing that tomorrow we will visit the Uchiha household.
