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

Even they themselves were not fully aware of it.

But Mikoto and Izumi, who had been observing from the sidelines, saw it clearly.

Mikoto was quietly arranging flowers on the veranda in the distance.

His gaze occasionally swept across the courtyard.

Seeing how Kurenai and Hinata went from fiercely resisting at the beginning to now being half-heartedly accepting.

It even subtly reveals a sense of dependence.

A complex mix of understanding and a faint sadness flashed in his eyes.

She recalled the process of her descent into depravity.

Isn't that the case?

Under absolute power and strength disparity.

In a continuous treatment that is a mixture of pain and occasional "charity".

A person's will can be eroded over time.

Di Yan seems to possess a strange magical power.

A complex temperament that blends power, cruelty, occasional “warmth” and absolute control.

It can cause women in such situations to gradually lose their way.

Eventually, like a frog being slowly boiled in water, they become dependent on or even... addicted.

Uchiha Izumi stood guard in the corner like the most loyal shadow.

Her worship of Di Yan was blind and absolute.

In her opinion.

His Majesty is willing to spend time “teaching” these two prisoners.

It is their honor.

They will gradually submit to and become dependent on His Majesty.

It's a normal thing.

Your Majesty is the supreme being.

They deserve the submission of everyone.

Just as Di Yan was "excitedly" "teaching" Hinata and was about to pull her into his arms to correct her movements.

A maid quietly approached and whispered something to Uchiha.

Uchiha Izumi nodded slightly and waved for the maid to leave.

She appeared silently beside Di Yan.

"His Majesty."

Quan knelt on one knee.

The sound shattered the eerie "harmony" in the courtyard.

Di Yan released Hinata.

Hinata immediately jumped back a few steps like a startled rabbit.

Her cheeks were so red they looked like they were about to bleed, and her heart was pounding.

Kurenai took the opportunity to create some distance and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But then I felt the warm touch behind me disappear.

There was a strange sense of emptiness.

She was immediately terrified by the idea and broke out in a cold sweat.

"what's up?"

Di Yan's tone was indifferent.

It was as if a perfectly normal lesson had just taken place.

"Representatives of the Inuzuka and Aburame clans have arrived outside the palace."

Uchiha Izumi reported, "They requested a meeting with His Majesty, hoping to 'peacefully resolve' the matter concerning Inuzuka Kiba and Aburame Shino."

She paused, then added, "In addition, Hana Inuzuka, the daughter of the head of the Inuzuka clan, also came along."

A glint of shrewdness, as if he had expected this, flashed in Di Yan's eyes.

The fish is hooked.

"Oh? They didn't notify the higher-ups in Konoha?"

He asked with great interest.

“According to our informants, no. They came secretly,” Izumi confirmed.

Di Yan's lips curled into a mocking smile.

Sure enough.

These long-established ninja clans are caught between the interests of family heirs and the interests of the village.

Ultimately, the former was chosen first.

Or rather, they simply didn't take him, the "emperor," seriously.

They assumed that with the combined strength of the two clans, they could send out a dozen or so ninjas.

So you can easily get the person back from him?

They might even be thinking of taking the opportunity to "teach" this unruly big name a lesson.

That's... ridiculously naive!

After all, the daimyo is nominally the ruler of the country.

Ordinary ninjas maintained a respectful attitude towards the daimyo.

But in reality, in the original storyline...

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, could skip the Daimyo appointment process and directly become Hokage.

The Third Hokage appeared outwardly respectful.

In reality, the appointment of the Hokage is also decided by him; the Daimyo has no say in the matter.

Even after Danzo failed to become the fourth generation of leader.

How dare they openly glare at a great name, showing absolutely no respect...

All of the above demonstrates this.

On the surface, the ninjas maintained a respectful attitude towards the daimyo.

But actually.

When a ninja reaches a certain level.

They no longer cared about the famous names of ordinary people.

This explains why these ninja clans, whose lineage has been passed down from the Warring States period to the present, are so confident.

"It seems that the 'gift' (finger) I gave them is not enough to make them realize... who is the true ruler of the Land of Fire."

Di Yan's voice carried a hint of cold killing intent, "Very well, since you're here, then don't leave."

“Perfect timing. My training ground is lacking some decent sparring partners.”

He glanced at Kurenai and Hinata beside him, whose expressions had suddenly become tense and worried.

A meaningful smile suddenly appeared on his lips:

"Red, Hinata, please excuse me for a moment."

"You all practice on your own first... I'm going to meet your future best friends."

Di Yan's tone was relaxed.

But the chill in her words sent a shiver down the spines of both Kurenai and Hinata.

Good sisters?

Does it refer to Inuzuka Hana?

She was also going to be...

The two women exchanged a glance, both seeing the unease in each other's eyes.

They realized it.

A new storm is brewing.

And the representatives of the Inuzuka and Aburame clans.

They are probably stepping into a trap carefully laid by Di Yan.

.......

29. The two clans exert joint pressure; the hot-tempered Inuzuka Hana

The capital of the Fire Nation.

Inside what appeared to be an ordinary hotel, the atmosphere was as heavy as iron.

Twenty-six Konoha ninja gathered here.

Whether sitting or standing, they exuded the sharp and experienced aura of seasoned veterans.

Fourteen of them, accompanied by ninja dogs, were elite members of the Inuzuka clan.

The other twelve people mostly wore sunglasses and had their collars turned up, and were members of the Aburame clan.

The chakra fluctuations of the five Jonin were as steady as a rock.

The other Chunin also had sharp eyes.

They acted with perfect teamwork.

Such a force is enough to overthrow a small country.

It's more than enough to complete S-rank missions.

At this moment, they have all gathered here.

The purpose, however, was not for the mission.

Rather, it was to put pressure on the newly appointed, self-proclaimed "emperor" of the Land of Fire.

"Hmph, a greenhorn who rose to power through scheming and trickery."

"And he still calls himself an emperor? He even dares to detain Ya and Shino."

"They even have the audacity to ask us to take sides? What a joke!"

A Jonin from the Inuzuka clan snorted coldly.

His tone was full of disdain for the so-called "emperor".

In the eyes of these ninjas who have spent years licking blood from the edge of a knife.

The famous are nothing more than wealthy patrons, flowers living in a greenhouse.

They have no idea what true power is.

"That's right! He dares to make a move on Sister Hua? What do you mean by concubine? I think he's tired of living!"

Another young Inuzuka clansman echoed indignantly.

They looked at the figure in the center of the room with awe.

In the center of the room stood a tall woman with a wild beauty.

She was wearing a fur-trimmed coat, a characteristic of the Inuzuka clan.
