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

The immense fear made her forget her own weakness.

The instinct to protect the teacher overwhelmed everything else.

She gave a sharp, stern look.

His pure Byakugan eyes instantly became bloodshot, and his Gentle Fist chakra erupted instantly!

"Back to the days!"

Hinata's petite body began to spin rapidly.

An absolute defensive domain formed by chakra instantly opened, attempting to repel the approaching Emperor Flame.

This is the absolute defense that the Hyuga clan is proud of!

However, Di Yan's face remained completely unmoved in the face of this secret technique, which was touted as the best in defense.

He continued forward without pause.

Just as the rapidly spinning chakra ball was about to touch his body...

He casually extended his right hand.

That hand was fair, slender, and had distinct knuckles.

Yet it carries a sense of power that disregards all rules!

He did not attempt to decipher the flow of chakra in the Resurrection Technique, nor did he look for any weaknesses.

But... they were arrested and taken in!

Snapped!

A crisp, heart-stopping sound!

The rapidly spinning Rejuvenation Domain collapsed instantly, like a burst bubble.

Chakra turbulently overflowed...

Hinata felt an irresistible force instantly grip her slender neck.

A feeling of suffocation and the chill of death had enveloped her.

Her petite body was lifted off the ground by Di Yan as easily as if she were a chick!

"Cough...uh..."

Hinata's face instantly turned bright red, and she kicked her legs in vain.

His whites rolled back in pain and suffocation.

It was filled with unbelievable terror!

Di Yan gripped Hinata's neck with one hand, as if he were lifting an insignificant object.

He coldly looked down at her as she struggled in pain.

His voice was as cold as ice: "The Hyuga clan's absolute defense? In the face of absolute power, it's nothing but... a childish ninja game."

His words were filled with contempt for the proud heritage of Konoha.

"Let her go! Di Yan! You beast! Let Hinata go!"

Bound by the illusion and unable to move, Kurenai Yuhi let out a heart-wrenching cry, her eyes wide with fury.

But they could only watch helplessly as their disciples suffered!

Di Yan didn't even glance at Xi Ri Hong, casually waving his arm!

"what!"

Hinata's small body was flung away like a kite with a broken string.

It slammed heavily onto the large bed at the far end of the room.

The soft brocade quilt absorbed some of the impact, but the immense force still made her see stars.

It felt as if all his internal organs had shifted, and he curled up in the corner of the bed, groaning in pain.

I can't get up for a while.

"Hinata!"

Kurenai Yuhi's heart was breaking.

She desperately tried to break free from the illusionary confinement within her body, but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree—she couldn't budge an inch.

All he could do was scream in despair, "Don't hurt her! Come at me!"

Di Yan finally turned his icy gaze back to Yuhi Kurenai, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his lips:

"Coming after you? Of course. I said it's you who will be punished."

He walked step by step to the imprisoned Kurenai Yuhi, looking down at her:

"Not harming Hinata? Okay."

He paused, admiring the last glimmer of hope that flickered in Kurenai's eyes, before ruthlessly crushing it. "But on the condition that... you accept my punishment properly."

Kurenai Yuhi's body trembled.

Looking into the malicious glint in his eyes.

The overwhelming shame almost suffocated her.

She spoke with difficulty, her voice trembling with humiliation:

"Take me...take me to another room...please..."

She couldn't imagine, nor could she bear, enduring that kind of punishment in front of Hinata!

.......

21. The punishment for Kurenai Yuhi; high-tech ninja tools.

"Another room?"

Di Yan chuckled as if he had heard an amusing joke, "Hong, do you think you still have the right to negotiate with me?"

"Ordinary punishments are clearly not enough for a pet like you who harbors侥幸心理 (a sense of侥幸, a belief that you can get away with something) and dares to play tricks under the nose of the United Nations."

As she spoke, under Kurenai's terrified gaze...

Di Yan slowly took something out of his pocket.

It was an oval object, about the size of an egg, entirely silvery-white, with a cold metallic sheen.

The surface is smooth and has no buttons or interfaces.

There is only a tiny groove at the top, which seems to be used for chakra injection.

"Do you know this?"

Di Yan played with the small metal object, his tone casual, as if introducing a new invention.

"A gadget recently developed by the Royal Academy of the Land of Fire. It combines cutting-edge achievements in ninja tool principles and mechanical engineering."

He held the egg up to Kurenai's eyes so she could see it more clearly:

"At its core is a miniature chakra conversion array and an ultra-high-speed miniature rotor."

"Just a wisp of chakra is needed to activate its internal energy core."

"Make this rotor run continuously at... well, far beyond human limits, and maintain an extremely stable high-frequency vibration state."

"This has greatly promoted the automation and mechanization of ninja tools in the Land of Fire, with unlimited potential."

Kurenai Yuhi was terrified.

An ominous premonition coiled around her heart like a cold, venomous snake.

She didn't understand why Di Yan would introduce something that sounded like an engineering ninja tool at this time!

What does this have to do with the punishment she's about to face?!

"You...what exactly do you want to do?"

Kurenai's voice trembled with fear.

The smile on Di Yan's face vanished, replaced by a chilling cruelty.

He stopped beating around the bush.

His gaze, as precise as a scalpel, landed on a hidden and vulnerable spot on Kurenai's body.

He spoke clearly, word by word:

"I want you to put this little thing in..."

Boom!

The last few words struck like a bolt from the blue, exploding directly in Kurenai's mind.

Kurenai's mind went completely blank for a moment.

It was like being struck by the most violent thunderbolt.

She understood...

I now fully understand the terrifying meaning behind Di Yan's explanation.

High-frequency vibration... continuous operation...

What did he think of himself?

"Do not..."

A piercing, distorted scream burst from Kurenai Yuhi's throat, filled with extreme fear and shame.

Her face turned deathly pale instantly, and her body began to tremble violently.

If she hadn't been bound by illusion magic, she probably would have collapsed to the ground.

This kind of punishment...

It is more cruel than any form of torture.

This would subject her to constant, excruciating pain and unimaginable humiliation.

And in front of Hinata?

You'd better do as I say.

Di Yan's voice, like a curse from hell, coldly proclaimed, "Then, activate it. Keep it running continuously."

"This is the price you pay for daring to deceive me."

He bent down and shoved the cold metal "egg" into Kurenai's only remaining hand, which was stiff with fear and could barely move.

The cold touch of metal felt like a harbinger of death.

"Remember, the operation must not stop."

Di Yan leaned closer to Yuhi Kurenai's red eyes, which were unfocused by fear, a cruel yet gleeful curve to his lips:

"When it ends depends on my mood. Perhaps... when all your little pig, deer, and butterfly friends have arrived?"

"No...please...don't do this..."

Kurenai's voice was broken and filled with desperate pleas.

Tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.

She looked at the cold metal torture device in her hand.

Then she looked at Hinata in the corner of the bed, who had just struggled to sit up and was rubbing her sore shoulder, her little face still showing confusion and bewilderment.

Hinata clearly didn't understand the terrifying implications of Di Yan's technically detailed descriptions.
