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

"What are you doing in broad daylight? You bastard!"

Di Yan's hand froze in mid-air, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.

"Let me examine my conscience... Hmm..."

"Haven't you already stolen my conscience and placed it in your heart? If I don't touch that place, where else should I touch it?"

This blatant flirting and fallacy left Tsunade speechless with anger.

I felt a surge of heat rush to my head.

Yet she was powerless against this shameless man.

In the end, it could only turn into a sigh filled with helplessness and shame.

She turned her head away and refused to look at him again.

Di Yan knew when to stop and ceased teasing Tsunade, who was on the verge of exploding.

He suppressed his smile and regained some of his imperial indifference.

Turning to Shizune, who had been standing silently to the side, trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible, she gave the following instructions:

"Shizune, go and convey my order: summon Mitarashi Anko and Uzuki Yugao to my office immediately."

Shizune's body trembled slightly, and she quickly lowered her head to reply:

"Yes... Your Majesty."

Her voice carried a hint of barely perceptible sympathy and worry.

As a woman herself, she naturally knew what it meant to be "named" by His Majesty.

But she dared not disobey in the slightest and quickly left the office.

Inside the office, only Di Yan and Tsunade, who was still fuming, remained.

Tsunade looked out the window, her fists clenched.

She knew that once Hongdou and Xiyan came in...

They will likely find it difficult to escape a fate similar to theirs.

That man used the most noble reasons to commit the most unscrupulous acts of plunder.

And she, the nominal empress.

Yet they lacked even the ability to protect their own subordinates.

A deep sense of powerlessness overwhelmed her once again.

Di Yan tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

He awaits the arrival of his new "guardian".

For him, it was nothing more than a game of power.

He, however, is always the one who sets the rules and enjoys the rewards.

It didn't take long.

There was a gentle knock on the door of the Hokage's office.

Under the subtle, complex, and slightly sympathetic gaze of silence.

With extreme trepidation, Mitarashi Anko and Uzuki Yugao stepped into the core of power, which had now changed hands.

The fact that Shizune seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and that she had a complicated expression, had already set off alarm bells in the minds of the perceptive women.

An ominous premonition loomed over us like a dark cloud.

Upon entering, the two women's gazes first fell upon Di Yan, who sat regally in the Hokage's seat, and Tsunade, who stood silently to the side with an unpleasant expression.

They immediately suppressed their surprise and doubt, and respectfully knelt on one knee to pay their respects:

"Mitarashi Azuko and Uzuki Yugao greet Your Majesty."

As ninjas who have undergone brutal training, they are far more adept at assessing situations than ordinary people.

A revenge driven by passion is meaningless in the face of an absolute power disparity.

Survival is the top priority.

Especially in the presence of this ruthless emperor who was prone to massacring entire families.

Any disobedience could have devastating consequences.

Di Yan did not immediately tell them to get up, nor did he say anything.

A suffocating silence fell over the office.

He leaned back in his chair, his gaze sweeping over the two women with undisguised frankness.

His gaze was sharp and full of assessment.

It was as if they were admiring two works of art that were about to be added to their collection.

It's like examining a tool that's about to be used.

Mitarashi Anko, with her outgoing and fiery personality, feels uneasy all over at this moment.

Her usual cool and confident style seemed somewhat helpless at this moment.

The mesh bra she wore underneath seemed to offer no sense of security whatsoever; instead, it made her feel as if she could be seen through.

She could feel that gaze sweep over her neck, collarbone, and chest...

Although she wasn't as big as Tsunade, she was always confident about her figure.

At this moment, I only feel a sense of shame at being objectified.

Uzuki Yugao felt that the focus of the gaze was on her proud long legs and unique purple hair.

She instinctively brought her legs together, trying to remain calm.

But her slightly trembling fingers betrayed her inner tension.

What made her even more uneasy was that the gaze seemed to be scrutinizing her face.

It was as if they were confirming something.

"Hmm...brows together, hips not open..."

Di Yan muttered to himself.

Clearly, Moonlight Gale, that tuberculosis-ridden devil, died young enough to do nothing.

At least, Uzuki Yugao's face did not show any signs of a married woman's charm; she was still a virgin.

But this silent, unbridled scrutiny.

For the two women, it was more oppressive than any words.

Hongdou and Xiyan felt as if countless tiny needles were pricking their skin.

My back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, and fine beads of sweat also seeped from my forehead.

They felt like fish on a chopping board.

No ability to resist.

They could only passively await the judgment of fate.

An atmosphere of humiliation and fear permeated the air.

Tsunade watched from the sidelines, gritting her teeth in frustration, yet utterly helpless.

I could only turn my head to the side, unable to bear to look any longer.

Finally, when the atmosphere was so tense it seemed to freeze, Di Yan slowly spoke, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority:

"Get up."

"I am short two personal guards."

"I wonder if you guys are interested in sex!"

...

85. Anko and Yugao's shock; Jiraiya and Naruto

Mitarashi Anko and Uzuki Yugao were somewhat bewildered by this sudden "appointment".

My brain didn't quite process it for a moment.

Personal bodyguard?

Is this person so unfathomable and terrifyingly powerful that they need to act as "guards"?

That's such a flimsy excuse!

A strong sense of absurdity and unease arose in both of them at the same time.

Di Yan, however, did not give them a chance to think or question.

Seeing their silence, his tone turned slightly lower, carrying an undeniable sense of pressure:

"What? You're not willing?"

Hongdou and Xiyan felt a chill run down their spines.

I was instantly jolted awake from that sense of absurdity.

The man before me is an emperor who can decide the life and death of others at will!

They couldn't afford the consequences of refusing.

"Don't dare!"

"I obey my orders!"

The two spoke almost at the same time.

His voice trembled slightly, and he quickly lowered his head to show his obedience.

"very good."

Emperor Yan nodded in satisfaction, as if he had only arranged a trivial matter. "Then it's settled. From now on, the two of you will follow me."

"Remember, it's 'close-body' protection. Wherever I go, whatever I do, you must follow me. Understand?"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

The two women had no choice but to agree reluctantly, their hearts filled with coldness and confusion.

The meaning of "close protection".

It's probably far more complex than it literally means.

They got up silently.

Following instructions, they stood properly behind Di Yan's seat.

Like two exquisite yet uneasy statues.

Tsunade was furious at Di Yan's unbridled and blatant acts of plunder.

She couldn't help but chide him, "Are you satisfied now?"

Di Yan laughed heartily, not taking it to heart at all.

Instead, he reached out and pulled Tsunade, who was standing next to him, over, forcing her to sit on his lap.

Tsunade gasped and struggled to get up.

But he held her firmly in place with his iron-like arms.

"satisfy?"

Di Yan leaned close to Tsunade's reddened ear, his voice laced with a wicked laugh, "You're still far from satisfied. I... want to be even more pleased."

As he spoke, he even gestured to Jingyin, who was standing to the side, her face pale and at a loss for what to do:
