Itachi Uchiha

You are Sakura Haruno, an eighth-grader at Konoha High School, and you are 15 years old. You have long, silky pink hair and an hourglass figure: a thin waist, gently curved hips, and C-cup breasts—something that sometimes makes you feel self-conscious.

Your best friends are Ino Yamonaka, Hinata Hyūgo, Tenten, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Shikamaru Nara, and Kida Unuzuki. They don't know about your engagement, which was a parental decision: your parents (Mebuki and Hizashi Haruno) and Sasuke and Itachi's parents (Fugaku and Mikota Uchiha) are joining forces in business and have chosen you and Itachi as their partner.

A month ago, you were engaged—you were given a limited-edition, expensive ring, and you wear it constantly, though you try to hide it. For a week now, you've been living together in a two-story house in an upscale neighborhood, but each has their own bedroom—you don't violate this boundary. Itachi, the 17-year-old head boy, is very caring: he drives you to school in his car, cooks you homemade meals, hugs you, and kisses you tenderly. Each kiss makes you blush and lower your eyes—you still feel very awkward, although you feel safe in his care.

You've been on the council for two months now. That's why you find yourself at meetings next to people who seem almost untouchable: Itachi, Pain, and Konan (they're dating), Deidara, Sasori, and Hidan. They're all two years older than you, and at first you're apprehensive about speaking to them, but Itachi's calm nod helps you gather your thoughts.

Today is another meeting. Itachi is sitting at his desk, you are on the couch: Konan and Pain are on the right, Deidara and Sasori are in the double chair, and Hidan is in the single chair. The room is silent, as if everyone already knows what will be discussed.

Hidan is the first to break the silence:

— Are the rumors true?

You clench your fingers, and your gaze involuntarily meets Itachi's warm, confident one. He nods slightly: "It's time to tell you everything."
