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

This time it was a head-on collision, a solid one.

Di Yan readily accepted her, looking down at the shy girl in his arms who dared not raise her head.

"It seems... I still need to practice more."

His deep voice was full of pleasure, "From now on, I will teach you myself."

Fireworks buried her burning face in his chest.

There was no rebuttal, only a very soft "hmm".

But my heart felt like it had been filled with sweetness.

That competitive spirit had long been overwhelmed by another unfamiliar emotion, a bittersweet mix.

"Humph!"

A cold gaze from Uchiha Hikaru swept over him before disappearing.

Then...

Di Yan began instructing Hua Huo as if no one else was around.

The fledgling fireworks followed suit, mimicking the movements...

but...

Fireworks are ultimately too small.

Looking at Huohua, whose face was streaked with tears from the pain, Di Yan said helplessly:

"Let Hinata show you around!"

Hanabi pouted, neither speaking nor refusing.

She clearly overestimated herself...

But my sister could do it so easily...

As soon as Di Yan finished speaking, Hinata's cheeks flushed red.

But she still nodded gently.

Gently pull the firework away from Di Yan's embrace a little.

She then gently nestled close to Di Yan's side.

She mustered her courage, raised her slender arms, and wrapped them around Di Yan's neck with slight trembling.

Their movements were awkward, yet carried a natural intimacy.

She looked up at him, her eyes filled with both shyness and dependence.

"Fireworks, like... this..."

Hinata's voice was as light as a feather.

While demonstrating, he kept an eye on his younger sister's reaction out of the corner of his eye.

Hanabi stared in disbelief, her little mouth involuntarily agape.

She had never seen her sister so proactively get close to a man.

Moreover, this was Di Yan, who evoked complex feelings in her.

This kind of intuitive "teaching" is far more impactful than words.

Upon seeing this, Di Yan chuckled softly.

Reach out and gently support Hanabi's chin with your fingertips, helping her close her open mouth.

"Look stupid?"

He spoke with a doting tone, then patted Hinata on the back, "You demonstrated very well. Now let Hanabi try to understand it herself."

Hinata immediately and obediently let go of her hand.

She stepped aside, her face still flushed.

He watched the fireworks with concern.

At this moment, Tsunade, Kurenai, and the others who were dancing in the center of the room also stopped and gathered around.

They had amusement on their faces.

His gaze swept back and forth between Di Yan and the uneasy Hua Huo, filled with curiosity and encouragement.

Of course, Tsunade's slightly teasing enthusiasm was also present.

Being stared at by so many eyes, especially by the older sister she had always wanted to surpass and these mature and charming seniors.

Hanabi suddenly felt immense pressure and didn't know what to do with her hands and feet.

She instinctively wanted to back away again.

But behind him was Di Yan's solid chest, leaving him nowhere to escape.

"I...I still..."

The sound of fireworks was as faint as a whisper, and her fair face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

She looked at Hinata for help.

Hinata gently encouraged her with her eyes.

Di Yan's arms remained firmly wrapped around her waist.

He didn't urge her, but simply whispered in her ear, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe:

"Don't be afraid, just follow your instincts. There are no outsiders here."

His words seemed to have a magical power, slightly calming Hanabi's tense emotions.

Under the smiling gazes of everyone, Hanabi took a deep breath.

Finally, she raised her hand with trembling hands, mimicking what her sister had just done.

Little by little, carefully, she wrapped her arms around Di Yan's neck.

Her movements were far more stiff and shy than Hinata's.

But that clumsy effort.

However, in the eyes of Di Yan and those around him, she possessed a unique and captivating charm.

[Ding! Communication completed with Hinata Hanabi; Byakugan purity greatly increased!]

...

The sun was high in the sky, and warm sunlight streamed through the exquisite window lattices, filling the bedroom.

Di Yan slowly woke up to the gentle, silent calling.

He rubbed his slightly throbbing temples and turned his head to look beside him...

Only messy traces remained on the huge bed.

The figures of those warm and beautiful women from last night—such as Tsunade's boldness, Kurenai's allure, Hinata's gentleness, and Hanabi's youthful innocence—have all vanished without a trace.

Only a faint, lingering fragrance remains.

Recalling the "grand occasion" of last night, Di Yan couldn't help but grin.

After personally guiding Hanabi and Hinata through that meaningful dance.

Tsunade led the commotion, and Kurenai and the others joined in.

They insisted on taking turns dancing with him, euphemistically calling it "testing teaching results."

The result was predictable: even with a physique enhanced by the 660-system upgrade, [the situation was unpredictable].

At that moment, he also felt a wave of soreness and weakness in his lower back and knees, as if his body had been hollowed out.

"Tsk, if it weren't for the system's safety net, if things continued like this, I'd probably die young and exhaust myself to death..."

Di Yan muttered something under his breath and propped himself up to sit up.

Shizune, who was skillfully preparing his robes, overheard a few words and curiously looked up:

"Your Majesty, what did you just say? What does that mean?"

Di Yan waved his hand, offering no further explanation, and instead asked:

"You just said that the Land of Earth, the Land of Water, and the Land of Lightning all sent envoys?"

As he spoke, he obediently raised his arm, allowing Jingyin to help him put on his elaborate and noble robes.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Jingyin straightened her expression and deftly adjusted his collar and cuffs. "The envoys from the three kingdoms arrived in the capital almost one after the other. Their demands were the same."

We demand a clear explanation and account of the destruction of the Wind Kingdom.

"The delegation has been accommodated at the state guesthouse and is awaiting His Majesty's summons."

Jingyin's tone was calm, but there was a hint of seriousness in her eyes.

The Land of Wind was destroyed by Emperor Yan with swift and decisive action, an event that shook the entire ninja world.

It's inevitable that other major powers will become restless.

The three countries joined forces to exert pressure, and their intentions were clearly hostile.

Upon hearing this, Di Yan's lips curled into an enigmatic smile, a hint of coldness flashing in his lazy eyes.

He fastened the belt around his waist, stretched his still slightly sore shoulders and neck, and spoke in a calm tone that carried an undeniable air of authority:

"An explanation? What kind of explanation do they want?"

"Pass down the order to prepare a banquet to entertain the envoys from the three kingdoms."

"Tonight, I will personally go to see them and see what kind of 'explanation' they can ask me for."

There was not a trace of tension in his words.

Instead, it has a playful, cat-and-mouse feel to it.

It was as if they were about to face not diplomatic challenges from the three major powers.

It was a game that had been anticipated and was entirely under our control.

...

124 Karui is here; how is Black Pearl?

Uchiha Izumi is extremely efficient.

It didn't take long.

A detailed list of envoys from the Three Kingdoms was presented to Emperor Yan.

Di Yan leaned back on the soft couch, his fingertips tracing the names on the list.

When they saw that the delegation from the Land of Earth was led by that honest and steady man from the yellow earth.

He smiled slightly, not surprised.

"What a pity, it wasn't a leg shadow..."

Then, his gaze swept over the list of the Land of Water.

The unfamiliar surroundings dampened his interest.

Mei Terumi, whom I had been longing for, did not come.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Mei Terumi is the designated Fifth Mizukage, so she probably won't leave Kirigakure easily.

However, when they saw the list of envoys from the Land of Lightning...

Di Yan raised an eyebrow.
