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

His wheat-colored skin had a healthy glow.

Her features are striking and bold, and her neat short hair adds to her heroic air.

She was none other than Hana Inuzuka, the daughter of the head of the Inuzuka clan.

At this moment, she crossed her arms and frowned.

His fiery temper was almost impossible to suppress.

"That idiot brother of mine! He's always causing me trouble!"

Inuzuka Hana muttered a curse under her breath.

But his eyes betrayed his worry for his younger brother, Kiba Inuzuka.

She slammed her hand on the table. "Once we get him out, I'll break his legs!"

The gray ninja dog "Haimaru" beside him seemed to sense its master's anger and whimpered softly.

"Hua, calm down."

A Jonin from the Aburame clan adjusted his sunglasses and said in a calm voice, "Our goal is to exert pressure and rescue people, and to avoid conflict as much as possible."

"After all, the other party is still nominally the daimyo of the Land of Fire."

Although he said that, his tone didn't reveal much respect for "Da Ming".

It's more like a procedural reminder.

In their view.

They mobilized such a force on their side.

If the other party isn't stupid, they should know to back down and let the person go.

“Senior Aburame is right.”

Another person chimed in, "Our two races coming together is already giving him a tremendous amount of face."

"If he knows what's good for him, releases the people obediently, and promises not to harass our two clans and Konoha again, then this matter will be dropped."

"If he doesn't know what's good for him..."

The man didn't continue.

But the cold glint in his eyes said it all.

They all believed that Di Yan's previous actions were nothing more than the arrogance of a petty person who had gained power.

In the face of absolute power, it is utterly insignificant.

They might not dare to openly assassinate the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

But it's always okay to teach him a lesson and embarrass him.

dong dong dong...

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the hotel room door.

All the ninjas instantly became alert, their hands unconsciously reaching for their ninja tool pouches.

"Who?"

A cold, emotionless voice came from outside the door:

"His Majesty has ordered that representatives of the Inuzuka and Aburame clans be summoned to the Imperial Palace's training grounds for an audience."

The door opened, and standing outside was a young man dressed in black, with a cold face and sharp, piercing eyes.

The most striking thing is...

The three-tomoe Sharingan in his eyes was slowly rotating!

"Uchiha?"

Inuzuka Hana and Aburame Jonin both lost their voices and their expressions changed drastically.

Wasn't the Uchiha clan wiped out long ago?

How would it appear here?

Still loyal to that emperor?

Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Uchiha Tetsuka simply repeated:

"His Majesty is waiting at the training ground. Please follow me."

His tone was completely flat.

It was as if he was simply conveying an ordinary command.

The two ninja clans looked at each other in bewilderment.

An ominous premonition rose in their hearts.

The appearance of the Uchiha clan completely disrupted their expectations.

Things seem... not so simple.

"Be careful of fraud."

The Jonin Aburame whispered to Hana Inuzuka, "We'll leave five of us here to provide backup, and the rest of us will go together. We'll see how things go."

Hana Inuzuka suppressed her surprise and nodded.

She would like to see it.

What on earth is this so-called emperor up to?

She waved her hand and selected five Chunin to stay.

The remaining twenty-one ninjas (including five Jonin) followed Uchiha Tekka.

With caution and doubt, the group headed towards the training ground deep within the palace.

The streets gradually became deserted.

The closer one gets to the palace, the more somber the atmosphere becomes.

When they passed through a heavy palace gate and stepped into the so-called "drill ground".

Everyone's breath caught in their throat!

What's in front of us is no ordinary training ground.

Instead, it was a huge, enclosed space, like a gladiatorial arena.

The area was surrounded by high walls, which were filled with sentries and bunkers.

The air was thick with the stench of blood and a chilling atmosphere!

And on the central high platform of the training ground.

A figure sat languidly on a large dragon throne.

He was dressed in a black robe with dragon patterns, and his handsome appearance was beyond human comprehension.

A playful smile played at the corners of his lips.

They were looking down at them from their high vantage point.

It's like watching a group of prey walk right into a trap.

It was Emperor Di Yan.

.......

30. The wildness of Inuzuka Hana; to live.

The atmosphere in the training ground was as heavy as the stillness before a storm.

Inuzuka Hana led twenty-one elite warriors from both clans.

Maintaining a highly vigilant defensive formation, they slowly approached the central platform.

He took each step with extreme caution.

Chakra flowed silently within his body, while the ninja dogs beside him let out low, threatening growls.

The faint chirping of insects could be heard coming from the sleeves of the Aburame clan ninjas.

They used a cold silence and a palpable killing intent.

They tried to put pressure on the excessively young figure on the platform.

Inuzuka Hana's sharp gaze swept over Di Yan.

Have to admit.

Putting aside the other party's infuriating identity and actions.

Judging by appearance alone, this "emperor" was indeed so handsome as to be almost otherworldly.

Her skin was as white as jade, and her features were as exquisite as if they were sculpted.

Especially those deep eyes.

It's as if it can suck your soul in.

But the thought only flashed through my mind.

Her worry for her brother and her anger at the man's arrogance were immediately replaced by her own.

On the high platform, Di Yan remained seated languidly.

It was as if the twenty-odd menacing elite ninjas below were merely subjects who had come to pay homage.

Only Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Tetsuka stood behind him like gatekeepers on either side.

Two pairs of Sharingan eyes slowly rotated in the shadows.

It exudes an ominous aura.

"What have you all thought of my proposal?"

Di Yan was the first to break the silence.

His voice carried a hint of lazy laughter.

It was as if they were just asking about today's weather.

"You have chosen to pledge allegiance to me and become the cornerstone of the new Fire Kingdom."

"Or... should I continue being Konoha's watchdog?"

His response was an even colder silence and hostility that almost solidified into reality.

The ninjas from both clans looked at him as if he were a clown, and no one answered.

Inuzuka Hana stepped forward, suppressing her anger, her voice cold and hard:

"Your Majesty! Where are my brothers, Kiba and Shino Aburame? How are they?"

"rest assured."

Di Yan's smile remained unchanged, and his tone was relaxed, "Both of you are safe and sound."

"I treated him with the utmost respect, providing him with the best food and drink every day."

"Maybe... he's even gained a few pounds..."

He was naturally referring to "dog meat hot pot" and the "treatment" beyond the punishment of cutting off a finger.

Having put on a good show, a Jonin from the Aburame clan spoke in a curt tone devoid of any respect:

"Your Majesty, since the person is unharmed, please release them immediately."

"We can pretend today's events never happened, and Konoha won't pursue the matter. Otherwise..."

He paused, the threat in his words self-evident:
