“And that's why, Sasuke, is the strongest genin.” (Ino) kept boasting about her crush to the other girls.

They all decided to sit down and eat some barbecue. It was a perfect time for all tof them to get to know one another.

“Luna, who do you think is stronger, Sasuke or Chris?” (Sakura)

She has seen Chris beating up Sasuke before. But now that Sasuke has unlocked his sharigan ability. It's kinda hard to tell who is stronger.

“I will say… Definitely Chris.” (Luna)

She does admit that Sasuke is stronger than the average Genin. But she is stronger than her brother.

Now that she has awakened her mangekyo sharingan abilities, she is very confident that she is the strongest female Genin.

She knows in her heart, that Chris is stronger than anyone here. And maybe Kat is stronger than Sasuke, with her amazing wood style abilities.

But, Luna could never say that to them. As Her powers, Kat’s and Chris’s powers must be kept a secret. The council already knows about their Kekkai Genkais, and has told them not to tell anyone else of their abilities for obvious reasons.

“Really! Hm! Well he did train Hinata, and Hinata defeated Neji, which is a kid prodigy, very easily. Which reminds me. Hinata, how did he get you that strong.” (Ino) said curiously.

Hinata blushed. It reminded her when Chris made her a promise, to get Naruto to notice her. There is no way that she willl ever say that to them, or she will die from embarrassment.

“He uh! Made a promise to me.” (Hinata) played with her pointer fingers, while she blushed hard.

“A promise? What kind of promise.” (Ino)

“It's uh! Something…” (Hinata)

“Hmmm! Is it something perverted. Did he blackmail you?!” (Ino) said.

Ino didn't stop to think if her voice reached the other people sitting near them. And when Ino said this, everyone was focussed on the girls table.

“Don't listen to her. She was deprived of oxygen at birth.” (Sakura) said in hopes to avoid any unnecessary rumours.

Then everyone somehow smirked a little, and continued eating their food. Somehow, Sakura’s words worked.

“You idiot. Do you want to attract attention so much, then do it on your own free time.” (Sakura) said angrily to Ino.

“Sorry, it's just that, haven't you all heard about the rumours about Chris?” (Ino)

All the girls then had a question mark (?) appear above their heads. They were all equally confused.

“What kind of rumours?” (Kat) said.

Unlike Ino, these girls aren't into gossip. So they haven't heard the rumours lately.

“You guys don't know?! Well here it is.” (Ino)

Then after a dozen minutes, Ino explained to them about how Chris was a potential rapist. She even told them that Sasuke himself, said this in public.

Luna had her face flushed. She wondered why her brother told her about the birds and bees at such a random moment. So it was because he somehow thought that Chris, forced himself on her. The only thing that happened on that day at the forest, was a small kiss.

“That-that didn't happen. He isn't one to do something like that.” (Luna)

Despite being super embarrassed, she still defended Chris’s reputation.

“It's true! Sensei will never do that.” (Hinata) protected her sensei as well.

“I can vouch for that.” (Kat) said. Although Chris said to Luna that he will start a finally, but he said that he doesn't plan to once they're older. He's not someone to do something like that to Luna. Otherwise, Luna would hate him forever.

“Hm! I know that he didn't do it, but it just seemed like an interesting topic to talk about.” (Ino) then folded her arms across her chest.

“Now that I think about it, where is Sasuke and Chris. They haven't appeared in quite a bit.” (Sakura) said.

She was looking forward to hang out with Sasuke, but he is nowhere to be found. That's why her and Ino were together, they were both trying to find Sasuke. They even made it into a competition, whoever finds Sasuke first, gets to go out with him.

“Brother is probably training, and Chris is… away for now.” (Luna) said a bit depressed.

Although Chris’s shadow clone told her that he wasn't angry at her, she is still sad that they had a fight because of her misunderstanding.

“You got into a fight with him, didn't you.” (Ino) said.

Ino is someone who likes to observe relationships like Luna's. And every single time when a couple fights, they always emit a strange signal, that Ino always picks up.

“How did you know!” (Luna) she hasn't told anyone. And yet Ino saw through her easily.

“I had a feeling. I am a master when it comes to situations like these.” (Ino)

“Even though you have never been in a relationship with anybody else.” (Sakura)

“I don't see you in a relationship either. It's because of your ugly billboard brow, that every single boy has avoided you. Even Naruto doesn't chase you like he did before.” (Ino)

Hearing this, it was as if a knife pierced through Sakura's chest. It's true that she hasn't even dated once, so how could she say that to Ino. Not only that, but Naruto has indeed stopped bugging her for quite some time now. Is her charm going down the toilet. If not, then why did he stopped chasing her.

Hinata could not help but wonder in her own thoughts. Now that her and Naruto are really good friends, Naruto doesn't see Sakura the way that he used to. Although she was happy. She was also sad that Sakura’s self confidence is being crushed.

“Now that I think about it, has anyone here, other than Luna, been in a relationship.” (Kat) couldn't help but say.

Hearing this, all the girls atmosphere was gloomy.

Hinata has been chasing the same guy forever. And they haven't progressed at all.

The same situation happened with Ino and Sakura. But the boy they like, always ignores them.

Kat was too busy training to take her revenge on Orochimaru, that she doesn't even have the time to date a guy.

Luna is already in a relationship. So nothing wrong with her.

“Well… I am sure that you will all find someone in the future. You are all very pretty.” (Luna)

Luna said this so she doesn't become the target of these girls. It's never a good thing if a bunch of your friends are jealous at you.

“Thanks, Luna… Hm!” (Ino)

Ino spotted the red ring that Luna is currently wearing. She has been to a a lot of jewellery stores, but she has never seen such a ring.

“Luna, where did you get that ring?” (Ino) asked curiously.

“This! Chris gave it to me back at the second round of the Chuunin exams.” (Luna) said as she showed her ring to the girls.

“Can-can I see it, please.” (Ino)

As a girl, the things that she likes most are clothes, perfumes, and jewellery.

“Well… okay, but just for a little bit.” (Luna)

Luna has not once taken her ring off. And now that she made a decision to give it to someone else, it's kinda hard for her to do it. But since Ino is a good friend, she doesn't see the reason she should say no. And besides, she thinks that Chris wouldn't mind at all.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

“Thanks. Luna” (Ino)

Ino took the ring from Luna’s hands, then inserted it into her own finger.

Luna then felt that her strength had somehow gone down. She felt weaker. Is it possible that that ring made her stronger, but that should not be possible, as no such thing exists.

The red ring at first was too small to fit Ino’s finger, but it grew in size. Ino couldn't help but scream in shock.

“Aaahh! It's… so beautiful.” (Ino) said. Wearing that ring made her somehow powerful, and it even grew in size so it could fit her. She must definitely ask a ring like this from Chris.

BACK IN THE LAND OF BIRDS

There I was, still sitting in the dead grass and tried to absorb the natural energy. This is taking longer than I thought. Even with my skill to learn faster, and my shadow clones, it will take me some time before I fully learn to control this powerful natural energy. I guess it's because the stronger the natural energy, the longer it takes.

Then all of a sudden, a blue screen appears in front of me.

Luna: {relationship} has disappeared.

What!!! Did I somehow make her angry at me. But I don't remember doing anything to her. And besides, I'm not even there.

Ino: {Relationship} natural 100/1000

Ino?! Why did her name appear… oh I see.

After thinking about it, I guess that Luna must be hanging out with Ino, so it makes sense that when Luna gave Ino her ring, it must have added her to my harem.

I don't hate Ino, and I don't like her that much, and we have never met in person, so it's pretty surprising that our relationship is only at a natural level. She must respect me or something. Good to know.

BACK TO THE GIRLS

“Wow! Luna, you must please tell me where Chris got such a magnificent ring.” (Ino) used her puppy eyes to make Luna tell her where Chris got this ring.

Not only is the ring beautiful to girls, but it has a weird ability that can fit all sizes. And it even somehow made her stronger. She can feel her chakra pool go up by a small margin.

“I don't know where he got it. Only he knows where he got this ring.” (Luna) said.

“Is it really that great?” (Kat)

“Of course. Wear it.” (Ino) without even getting Luna’s permission. She forced the ring into Kat’s finger.

Once Ino put the ring in Kat’s finger, Kat indeed felt her power rise.

BACK TO CHRIS

Ino: {Relationship} has disappeared

Kat: {Relationship} natural 900/1000

So Luna is also hanging out with Kat. Good for her. I was worried that Kat would go rogue on us, and chase down Orochimaru.

And not bad, our relationship isn't that bad at all. Not as good as Luna's, but it's something.

BACK TO THE GIRLS

Kat was very shocked to feel her power rising. She worked so hard to even raise it a bit, but it takes so much time to raise it even a bit. And wearing this ring, is equal to atleast a few years of training.

“Amazing!” (Kat) said in astonishment.

“Now it's your turn, Hinata.” (Ino)

Ino loved the ring, but she wanted for everyone to try it out. This way, she and the other girls could persuade Chris to give each of them a ring.

“Hm okay. Only if it's okay with you, Luna.” (Hinata)

Unlike Ino, Hinata was nice enough to ask Luna’s permission first. After all, it Is Luna’s ring.

“Of course you can.” (Luna)

Then without hesitating, Hinata wore the red ring on her finger.

And just like the rest of them, she experienced a huge strength surging through her.

BACK TO CHRIS

Kat: {Relationship} has disappeared

Hinata: {Relationship} natural 950/1000

Well shit! I know that Hinata respects me a lot, but isn't this too much.

I remember that blue screen told me that the only reason for the huge increase in number, is if both people like each other. If one side doesn't like the other, then the relationship number will never progress.

It's natural for Hinata to like me, but it still looks like  somewhere deep inside me, I still have a crush on Hinata. This is gonna be tougher than I thought.

(What Chris doesn't know, is that Hinata listened to his and Luna's conversation last night. And when he confessed that he used to like Hinata, then it somehow affected her view of Chris.)

(And also because Chris has helped her and Hanabi through these few days. It's only natural that she has developed some feelings for him.)

(The only way for someone's level to go higher than natural, is if they do something intimate. Like holding hands, date. Unless Chris does this with Kat or Hinata, their relationship will never go higher)

It's harder to get rid of these feelings for Hinata than I thought. What should I do.

“You okay. You seem distracted?” (Phoenix king) said to me.

“Hm! oh no it's nothing.” (Chris)

Although I said that I didn't have anymore feelings for Hinata, it looks like that even my feelings can lie to me. Looks like I can even lie to myself pretty good.

But right now, I will focus on this plant energy, then I will fix that problem later.

BACK TO THE GIRLS

“So, sensei can do something like this. Amazing.” (Hinata) said. Her view of Chris keeps changing every single time.

“Can I, also wear it.” (Sakura)

After seeing everyone's expression, Sakura couldn't hold herself from asking to wear that ring.

“Sure.” (Luna)

Then Hinata took the ring off, and offered it to Sakura.

Once Sakura had it on her hand, she examined it first. When she just inserted the ring into her finger, someone dropped a bunch of plates, which caused all the girls eyes to focus on the clumsy waiter.

“That scared me.” (Luna) is someone who gets startled easily.

“Yeah… wait, Sakura! Where's the ring!” (Ino) said in shock.

“It's here….. wait. It's not here. But I just had it.” (Sakura)

When Sakura looked at her finger where she inserted the ring, it was gone. Did she drop it.

“It must have dropped on the floor when the waiter dropped the dishes.” (Kat) said.

Then all the girls got on their knees and looked all over the floor. It's not common to find a ring like that.

But they found nothing. Where did it go.

BACK TO CHRIS

Once again, a blue screen popped up in front of me. Just how many people

Is Luna hanging out with?

Hinata: {Relationship} has disappeared.

Sakura: {Relationship} is under natural. The relationship level has fallen to {hated}

The ring has been returned to your space inventory thingy.

Hmm! Weird. This didn't happen to Hinata and the others.

Is it because I hate Sakura. I remember how she treated me, so I must have some sort of grudge against her. I think this is why my ring returned to me. Because once a relationship goes wrong, the feelings you have for a person could instantly vanish.

I wonder how they will react when the ring disappeared… it's probably nothing bad.

BACK TO THE GIRLS

“What the hell, Sakura. We turn our attention away for one second, and you lost something so important.” (Ino) yelled angrily at Sakura.

The situation is much worse than Chris expected.

“I-I don't know what happened.” (Sakura)

Although Sakura and Ino always fought, she had no right to talk back to her. She did indeed lost the ring, but she doesn't know what to do.

“Oh god… what have I done.” (Luna) said as some tears could be seen on her eyes.

Chris gave her that ring as a sign of their relationship. And now that Sakura had lost it, she doesn't know how she will ever face Chris again.

Luna doesn't blame Sakura at all, since it was a mistake. But it was her fault for not taking care of her ring. And it wasn't just any ring, it was a very special ring that Chris gave to her without asking anything in return.

If she had known that it was a unique ring, she would have never given it away like that.

“It's okay, Luna. We will find Sensei's ring.” (Hinata) tried to comfort her friend.

Right now, everyone was basically throwing the place upside down. But no matter where they looked, the ring isn't anywhere to be found.

“I'm sorry, Luna. I don't know what to say.” (Sakura) said in a sad tone.

“An apology isn't gonna cut it, billboard brow. You will need to do so much more for not only Luna, but Chris as well.” (Ino) said very angrily at her.

Although Ino liked that ring, she was more concerned about how Luna felt. To her, Luna was a nice girl that she would most likely want to be friends with. And now that Sakura lost something very important from Luna, she couldn't help but be very angry at Sakura.

Nobody here knows that Chris has the ring with him right now. But how can they expect for a ring to teleport to Chris. It just did not make any sense.

“It's okay, Ino. Sakura didn't mean to lose it, and I am sure that Chris will understand.” (Luna)

Although she said that, she wasn't so sure about it either. They just had a fight because of her misunderstanding. So how can she tell him that he lost her ring, after they just had a fight. Chris would be very mad at her, and he might want to...break up with her.

“Luna… no matter what. I will find that ring.” (Sakura)

Sakura was touched by Luna’s kindness. If it were her, then she would have been very angry to the person who lost something important of hers.

“You better find it.” (Ino) said.

“It's not anywhere. We have checked the entire place. And even with Hinata’s amazing eyesight, we still can't find it. Just how in the world did Sakura lose it.” (Kat)

Chris cured her fatal disease, and she feels a huge amount of debt to him. And finding this ring, is like paying a little bit of that debt to him.

“Luna, if we can't find it, then I will talk to sensei. I am sure that he won't be mad at you. I will take the blame.” (Hinata)

Hinata offered to take the blame instead of Sakura. It showed them just how nice Hinata truly is.

“No I lost the ring, so I will tell him.” (Sakura)

She has already caused so much trouble to them. So how can she let them take the blame for her.

“No… I will tell him the truth. I am sure that he will understand.” (Luna) said.

“But you two just had a fight, and if he were to learn about this, then he might snap.” (Ino)

“He won't! I know that he will understand.” (Luna)

“Okay… but just to be sure, there is something that you could do to ease his mind.” (Ino)

A smirk could be seen in Ino’s face. Just what is she plotting.

“What is it?!” (Luna)

“Well, it goes like this.” (Ino)

No one could hear what Ino said, as she whispered all of it into Luna’s ear.

After Ino finished explaining, Luna’s face was redder than it has ever been. What in the world did Ino tell her.

“Well what are you waiting for, go to him.” (Ino) said.

“Hm…” (Luna) only nodded lightly, then made her way to the Hyuuga compound without saying a word.

“What did you say to her?” (Kat) couldn't help but ask curiously.

“You will soon find out. But now, let's get to finding that ring.” (Ino)

Hinata wanted to know what exactly Ino told Luna to do to sensei? But finding that ring is important to her.

And so, the girls focused on finding that ring everywhere in the barbecue restaurant.

The barbecue restaurant was a mess. Because the girls caused such a mess finding a small ring, that it pretty much messed up the whole place.

The owner didn't know what to do? Those girls are from a powerful background.

Luna is the few remaining Uchihas alive. Which she is being very closely guarded.

Sakura’s mother is a member of the council members.

Hinata, is a princess of the Hyuuga clan.

Ino is from the Yamanaka family. Which is a very powerful influence in all of Konoha.

Although Kat doesn't come from a powerful background (that he doesn't know of) her friends are very powerful as well. Which makes her powerful as well.

And so then, the girls spend most of their day finding that ring.
