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

But only for a moment.

Hidan's curses rang out again.

"You bastard, it hurts so much..."

"It hurts a lot, do you know that?"

"Not dead yet?" Yukito was dumbfounded.

Di Yan revealed a look of curiosity, "It really is immortal, how interesting."

"Give up! I have the protection of the Jashin-sama, you can't kill me!" Hidan shouted.

"Is that so!" Di Yan suddenly revealed a strange smile. "I want to try!"

As he spoke, Di Yan formed hand seals and mobilized the chakra within his body.

"This mark is..." Hidan's cursing stopped abruptly. "Hey, hey, hey, you're kidding me..."

"Fire Style, Phoenix Fire Technique!"

Di Yan didn't give him a chance to speak.

The intense fire-style technique enveloped Hidan's limbs and head.

"Damn it... ah... it's so hot, so hot..."

Hidan's severed limbs burned in the raging flames, crackling and popping.

Accompanied by his heart-wrenching yet powerful curses and wails.

It created an extremely eerie and terrifying scene.

"Hehe, let's see if you can survive after I burn you to ashes."

Di Yan said in his mind.

That flame was no ordinary fire.

It contains the pure chakra of Emperor Yan.

It wasn't just the body that was being burned; it seemed even the soul was suffering.

Yugito watched this scene and felt a wave of nausea wash over him.

I got goosebumps all over my body.

This immortality contrasts sharply with the extreme pain he is enduring.

Even this seasoned Jinchūriki felt a chill run down her spine.

Di Yan, however, seemed to have only accomplished a trivial matter, and slowly turned around.

His gaze swept over the four Earth Grudge Masked Monsters, who were still struggling and firmly bound by Wood Release.

Their main body... Kakuzu, has long since disappeared.

"Did it run away?" Di Yan curled his lips, his tone carrying a hint of regret as if he had been let down. "Am I that scary? You didn't even want the hearts you painstakingly collected?"

As he spoke, he casually formed a hand seal with one hand.

"Wood Release: Cutting Technique!"

puff!

puff!

puff!

puff!

Four muffled thuds sounded almost simultaneously!

Countless sharp wooden spikes suddenly erupted from the thick tree that was entangled with the Earthly Grudge Monster.

It pierced the heart behind each mask with unparalleled precision, the heart that represented Kakuzu's life!

The struggles of the four monsters stopped instantly.

The chakra fluctuations completely dissipated, turning it into a truly lifeless object.

Yu Muren breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when she thought the nightmare was finally over.

Mutations reborn!

The Susanoo on Di Yan's body instantly dissipated.

Immediately afterwards, he vanished from the spot like a phantom.

No trace was left.

It's like it never existed.

The wooden figure's pupils suddenly contracted.

Before her brain could even process what was happening.

Almost at the same moment.

Di Yan's figure reappeared clearly in front of her.

It seemed to have only swayed slightly.

And this time.

He now held a corpse in his hands.

It was Kakuzu who had just escaped not far using the Earth Release: Earth Dive Technique, and whose face still showed the relief of surviving a disaster!

He had a penetrating wound in his chest.

His gaze was frozen in astonishment and disbelief.

Clearly, they were instantly killed without any chance to react!

Yugito was completely dumbfounded.

Her mouth was slightly open, her mind blank.

That speed... that way of moving regardless of distance...

A name she had only heard of in legends slipped uncontrollably from her lips:

"Flying... Flying Thunder God Technique?"

　4.7 Di Yan casually tossed Kakuzu's corpse into the flames next to him, where Hidan's remains were still burning, just like throwing away trash.

Let this "immortal" duo "reunite" in the flames.

He clapped his hands, as if they had been dusted off.

Then he looked at the stunned Yugito, a mocking smile playing on his lips:

“You got it right.” He paused, his tone light yet carrying an undeniable air of control. “Unfortunately, there’s no reward.”

Yugito stared at the man before him, who possessed black wings, Sharingan, Wood Release, and Flying Thunder God Technique...

A man who possesses countless legendary abilities.

He glanced again at Kakuzu, who was gradually turning into charcoal in the flames, and Hidan, who was still cursing but whose voice had weakened.

She felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness and awe wash over her.

In front of this man.

The so-called perfect Jinchūriki and the so-called Cloud Village elites seem so pale and powerless.

She had previously considered playing along and then running away.

It seems utterly ridiculous at this moment.

Di Yan's gaze fell upon her, calm yet profound:

"Now, it's time to fulfill your promise, Yukito."

"Become my pet!"

.......

133 Battle-damaged version of Yugito; cat tail?

Yukito looked up at the man in front of her.

The arrogance and sharpness that were once present in her cat-like eyes were gone.

All that remained was the fear and bewilderment of a frightened little animal.

The tragic fates of Kakuzu and Hidan are still fresh in our minds.

In particular, Hidan's incessant wails in the flames haunted her like a nightmare.

Her voice trembled, carrying a humility she herself was unaware of:

"You...who are you?"

Di Yan looked down at her, his face still bearing that enigmatic smile.

It was as if I had just casually cleaned up two noisy bugs.

Who I am is not important.

He bent slightly, his gaze level with Yugito's, his tone carrying a casual assertion of ownership.

"The important thing is that you remember who you are now."

"From now on, you will be my pet... little kitten."

"You bastard! What do you take me for?"

Yukito was instantly enraged by this extremely insulting title, and her remaining pride made her blurt it out.

However, before he could finish speaking, Di Yan had already reached out his hand.

The cold fingers, with an irresistible force, gently pinched her chin.

This forced her to lift her face and look directly into his deep, unfathomable eyes.

There was no anger or threat in his eyes.

There was only one kind of chilling coldness, a coldness that regarded all things as straw dogs.

　01 “Otherwise?” Di Yan’s voice was soft, yet it struck You Muren like a heavy hammer. “Who do you think you are?”

Yumu suddenly shuddered.

All the dissatisfaction and anger were frozen by that gaze.

She clearly realized that the man before her had the power to easily decide her life or death.

And they will never show mercy.

Those two "immortal" monsters are the best proof.

Revolt?

In the face of an absolute power disparity, it is meaningless.

A strong will to survive overwhelmed dignity.

She bit her lower lip hard, swallowing all the humiliation and resentment, and lowered her head, not daring to look Di Yan in the eye again.

"Endure it... I must heal my injuries first..."

She frantically warned herself in her heart.

Di Yan was fully aware of her thoughts, but he didn't care.

A pet's little temper is harmless and will eventually be tamed.

He glanced at the raging flames beside him.

The remains of Kakuzu and Hidan had already turned to ashes within.

It vanished along with that bizarre legend of immortality.
