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

Her gaze swept across the walls to the courtyard and the perimeter of the palace.

However, the sight that met Hinata's eyes made her heart sink to the bottom!

"Teacher Hong..."

Hinata's voice trembled with despair, "Outside...outside is full of people!"

"Guards are everywhere—on the rooftops, in the corridors, in the corners of the courtyards, even underground!"

"The chakra reaction... is very strong! And... they seem to have some special technique on them."

"My vision was greatly impaired, making it impossible to accurately determine the number and location..."

The countless chakra dots resembled cold, icy stars.

They completely surrounded the area where they were located!

This is hardly a guard.

It's clearly an impenetrable fortress!

Kurenai's last shred of hope was shattered.

The palace was so heavily guarded it was suffocating.

She slumped against the edge of the bed, utterly exhausted by the overwhelming sense of defeat and fear of the future.

"Let's...let's rest first, Hinata." Kurenai's voice was full of exhaustion. "Conserve your energy, we...we'll find another opportunity."

This consolation seemed so pale and powerless.

Hinata nodded silently.

The two lay down fully clothed, trying to find a moment of sleep amidst the cold and fear.

However, just as they closed their eyes...

As consciousness began to fade.

A faint, intermittent sound.

Like an invisible thread, it penetrated the barrier of the wall.

It reached their ears clearly!

First came Uchiha Mikoto's gentle voice.

Next up was the icy-faced girl named Uchiha Izumi.

Finally, interspersed among them was Uchiha Hikaru's clear, childlike voice, full of excitement and affection:

"Brother... Hikari loves brother so much..."

Various sounds intertwined, sometimes high and sometimes low.

It was like the sound of a cheerful nocturne...

Hinata, lying on the bed, blinked her big eyes in confusion.

She listened intently, her pure white eyes filled with confusion, and whispered to Kurenai beside her:

"Teacher Hong... what are they doing next door?"

"Aren't they resting so late? What are they talking about?"

"That light sounds so cheerful..."

Kurenai felt a surge of heat rush to her head.

If it were the old her, she might have been just as clueless as Hinata.

But now...

She could easily understand what was happening in the next hall...

But how can I explain this to Hinata?

Uchiha Hikaru?

That one still looks so small...

Di Yan... he actually didn't even have light...

Kurenai felt an indescribable anger rising in her throat.

She gripped the blankets beneath her tightly.

The fingernails were almost embedded in the palm.

His teeth were chattering.

In my mind, only one word remains to describe my opinion of Di Yan...

brute!

A complete and utterly inhuman beast!

"No...nothing!"

Kurenai's voice became unusually hoarse and rapid due to extreme anger.

She almost rudely interrupted Hinata's innocent question:

"Don't ask so many questions, kid! Go to sleep!"

She turned over, her back to Hinata.

He covered his head with the blanket.

Trying to block out all sound.

But the sound is like a spell, penetrating everywhere.

It repeatedly spurred on Kurenai's nerves.

She felt extremely embarrassed, yet inexplicably, her body was burning hot...

She forced herself to calm down.

He kept repeating to himself that he had to survive and that he had to get the intelligence out of the country.

This is the most important thing right now.

Don't worry about anything else; don't distract her.

Under such immense mental torment.

I do not know how long it has been.

Kurenai was in a state of extreme exhaustion and mental anguish.

I drifted into a very shallow sleep, like floating on water.

Consciousness teeters on the edge of darkness.

In a daze, Kurenai felt a slightly cool touch on her ankle.

It felt like something was gently stroking it.

She instinctively pulled her feet back and mumbled something indistinctly:

"Hinata...stop it..."

……

They give me 1,800 review votes a day, but I only have a few favorites.

If you really don't want to watch it, you don't have to.

Why keep boosting the rating?

Did I break a cardinal rule?

17. You don't want Hinata to see you, do you?

In her dazed state, Kurenai Yuhi thought it was Hinata, who was sleeping next to her, who had unconsciously turned over and bumped into her.

The touch seemed to pause for a moment.

But it didn't take long.

Kurenai felt another chill creep over her.

like……

A corner of the thin silk quilt covering her body was lifted.

Next, I felt my clothes being gently tugged.

Under repeated blows and immense mental pressure.

Even the most elite Jonin's instincts of vigilance have long been exhausted to the limit.

She just unconsciously curled up her body slightly.

They drifted deeper into a deep sleep.

However, a familiar touch that penetrated to her very bones and made her soul tremble.

It struck suddenly like a cold, venomous snake!

"Well……"

Kurenai Yuhi suddenly awoke from her deep sleep.

Those red eyes, like the sunset, suddenly opened in the darkness.

It was filled with horror and disbelief!

The noisy noise from next door had stopped long ago.

The cool moonlight streamed through the delicate window lattice.

The outline of the inner chamber was barely sketched out.

And right beside her bed, above her head.

A tall, slender, and alluring figure was clearly visible... It was none other than Di Yan!

He slipped into the room silently without anyone noticing.

He was leaning over her at that moment.

He had his chest bare, and even his hair was perfectly styled.

This contrasts sharply with Kurenai's current disheveled state.

His hand, with an irresistible force, was...

"you……"

The setting sun felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave.

The immense shame and fear made her blood almost freeze.

Almost instinctively, she abruptly turned her head to look at the other side of the room.

Hinata was curled up beside him.

His breathing was even, and his youthful face appeared exceptionally serene in the moonlight.

It is clearly still asleep.

They saw that Hinata hadn't been awakened.

The tension in Yuhi Kurenai's heart eased slightly.

But the next second, an even deeper chill swept over his entire body!

How dare he?
