What's wrong with having a large harem if you're the emperor of the ninja world?

It was as if time itself had stopped flowing.

All members of the clan.

Even Hiashi Hyuga, as if being choked, stared wide-eyed.

Not a word could come out.

His Majesty's... woman?

This identity is now in Konoha, where Di Yan controls everything.

It signifies supreme authority and...legitimacy!

After a brief silence.

"Greetings, Lord Clan Leader!"

"Long live Hinata, the clan leader!"

A wild cheer erupted from the crowd as they separated their families!

They all knelt on one knee to pay the highest respect to Hinata!

At this moment, Hinata was no longer the timid young lady.

Rather, they are leaders who lead them to break free of their shackles and usher in a new life!

The leaders of the black-clad group no longer hesitated and waved their hands:

"Capture the traitor!"

The men in black, as fierce as wolves and tigers, immediately stepped forward.

Without any mercy, they captured Hyuga Hiashi, who was ashen-faced and had completely lost the will to resist, along with all the core members of the main family!

……

While the internal turmoil within the Hyuga clan was still a topic of conversation among the villagers of Konoha.

Another, more profound, and far-reaching transformation.

It is happening quietly within the new military system of Di Yan.

And it was quickly spread to every corner of Konoha through the young ninjas who were on holiday and returning home.

Many ninja families were surprised to discover this.

Their children, who had been drafted, returned from this short leave.

Significant changes have occurred in his body.

It's not just that they are more composed and disciplined.

What's even more impressive is that... their strength has actually improved dramatically in a short period of time!

"Father, look!"

A young genin from a commoner family excitedly showed off to his family, rapidly forming hand seals, "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

A water dragon, though not large in scale, was clearly shaped and roared out.

It crashed directly into the wooden stakes used for practice in the yard.

It was smashed to pieces.

"My God! This...this is a B-rank Water Release technique!"

His father was an ordinary Chunin who might never have the chance to come into contact with B-rank ninjutsu in his entire life.

Stunned and speechless, he exclaimed, "You...how did you learn that?!"

Similar scenes played out in many ordinary ninja families in Konoha.

Some children demonstrated ingenious earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of earth-escape technique) and earth-flow wall-strengthening techniques.

Some of them learned the Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, a skill they had long dreamed of.

Some exceptionally talented individuals have even vaguely touched the threshold of A-rank ninjutsu!

Faced with his family's surprised and delighted questions.

These young ninjas often answered with a proud and matter-of-fact tone:

"I learned it in the military!"

"His Majesty said that, apart from some forbidden ninjutsu, as long as our chakra attributes are suitable and we can learn them, we can apply to the instructor to learn them!"

"Completely free! And there are even dedicated instructors to guide you!"

"Moreover, we are now a 'new army' and receive a fixed 'military salary' every month."

"There's no need to go through those tedious and complicated D- and C-level missions anymore, just for a little reward!"

These messages spread like wildfire.

It spread rapidly among the common people and ordinary ninja in Konoha!

At first, it was unbelievable.

This was immediately met with immense envy and a sensation!

"Free B-rank ninjutsu training? Plus military pay~"

"Really? Isn't that a privilege only members of wealthy and powerful families can enjoy?"

"I should have signed up too! Is His Majesty still recruiting?"

For a time, similar exclamations and discussions could be heard throughout Konoha.

For the civilian ninjas who make up the vast majority of Konoha's ninjas.

Ninjutsu, especially advanced ninjutsu.

It is their most essential and scarce resource for enhancing their strength and changing their destiny!

Konoha in the past.

Besides the most basic Three Body Techniques taught at the Ninja Academy.

Ordinary C-rank and D-rank ninjutsu can perhaps be acquired through effort.

However, ninjutsu of rank B and above are almost all strictly controlled by the major ninja clans and the Konoha leadership.

A commoner ninja wants to learn.

You either need to make a huge contribution to earn it, or you have to pay an unimaginable price.

Or they could simply become vassals of a powerful family.

Or perhaps one could become an apprentice of a prominent figure... through a master-disciple relationship...

This is both a means for Konoha to maintain the superiority and dominance of the ninja clans.

It is also a helpless choice under the circumstances of scarce resources.

And Di Yan's new military policy.

But it simply and brutally shattered this invisible "knowledge barrier"!

He did it in a way that was almost "extravagant".

Open up advanced ninjutsu knowledge, which was previously monopolized, to all young ninjas who pass the selection process!

This directly hit the most fundamental desire of ordinary ninjas!

Powerful resources, stable income, upward mobility...

These are tangible benefits.

This began to quickly diminish people's memories and fear of Di Yan's ruthless methods.

"I heard... a few days ago, so-and-so's kid did a good job in the army camp and was even rewarded with a chakra metal weapon!"

"Really? His Majesty... doesn't seem so bad?"

"If my son could also go in and learn some powerful ninjutsu, we wouldn't have to worry about anything in the future..."

Public opinion is beginning to shift subtly but genuinely.

People are always forgetful.

Especially when the immediate benefits are tempting enough.

The past killings and oppression seem to be being overshadowed by a new image of "breaking monopolies" and "providing opportunities."

Di Yan had a deep understanding of human nature.

He understood that pure fear could not last.

It must be accompanied by tangible benefits and hopes.

He used ninjutsu and money as bait, not only to build a powerful army.

Furthermore, it is fundamentally dismantling the old Konoha interest groups.

He cultivated the broadest and most loyal new vested interest group for himself... those commoner ninjas who gained power and equal opportunities because of him.

This seemingly generous "sugar" may have a far greater impact than the "knife" in his hand.

And just as this public opinion was fermenting...

Inside the Hokage's office.

The atmosphere, however, became tense and ambiguous.

Tsunade's chest heaved violently with anger, and her cheeks flushed red with rage and shame.

She slammed her hand on the table and glared angrily at Di Yan, who was sitting leisurely in the Hokage's seat:

"Don't even think about it! Absolutely not!"

Di Yan shrugged, his face showing an innocent, even somewhat aggrieved expression:

"I merely wanted to select two capable and meticulous bodyguards to protect me, why are you reacting so strongly?"

"Besides, as the emperor, is this request unreasonable?"

"Pooh!"

Tsunade spat, not believing his nonsense at all. "You want guards? You have hundreds or even thousands of black-clad men under your command, each one quite strong. Why don't you go and choose from among them?"

"Why are you fixated on Anko and Yugao? They are Konoha's special Jonin, not your personal playthings!"

Upon hearing this, Di Yan not only showed no shame, but instead retorted confidently:

“The men in black are the men in black, and the guards are the guards.”

"What I need are personal bodyguards, the kind who would risk their lives to protect me in a critical moment! Understand?"

"It's the kind of work that requires close-fitting protection! Big men with rough hands and feet can't do this kind of delicate work, and it's not suitable for them."

He deliberately emphasized the words "close to" and "sacrificing oneself".

The implications are self-evident.

Tsunade was so angry at his forceful words that she trembled all over, and pointed her finger at his nose, cursing:

"Put your hand on your heart and tell me! Is what you want a bodyguard?"

"You're just lusting after their bodies! You're despicable!"

Di Yan blinked, a look of sudden realization on his face:

"To examine one's conscience? That makes sense."

As he spoke, he actually raised his hand.

then……

It reached straight for Tsunade's high, firm chest!

Tsunade screamed in fright and jumped back like a startled rabbit.

She covered her chest with both hands, both shocked and angry:
