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

To live is to endure endless humiliation.

Death, however, brings even more terrible consequences and eternal guilt!

Immense grief and despair overwhelmed Hana Inuzuka like a tidal wave.

Inuzuka Hana lay in the warm water.

His shoulders trembled violently, and hot tears streamed down his face.

It slid silently down, mingling with the pool water.

All the pride, all the perseverance.

It completely collapsed at this moment.

Finally, the trembling shoulders slowly stopped shaking.

She looked up, her face no longer showing anger.

All that remained was a deathly numbness and emptiness.

The light in his eyes was completely extinguished.

She did it slowly, very slowly.

Under Di Yan's cold yet expectant gaze.

He bent his knees and knelt down in the warm pool.

Then, she became like the most docile dog.

Support your body with your hands and knees.

Little by little, they crawled toward the direction of Emperor Yan.

The water in the warm pool rippled with her movements.

Every inch of progress felt like trampling on his already shattered soul.

She crawled to Di Yan's feet.

There was a pause.

Finally, she closed her eyes.

Like a real pet, with burning cheeks?

She gently rubbed against Di Yan's calf.

His movements were stiff and humiliating.

Then, in a voice barely audible, trembling violently and with a sobbing tone, she squeezed out those two words:

"Master...Master..."

The voice was faint, yet it exploded in her mind like a thunderclap.

The first sound was heard.

After that, it seemed that all obstacles were gone.

Di Yan chuckled, twirling her wet, short hair with his fingers as if petting a pet:

"Your voice was too soft, I didn't hear you. Say it again."

Inuzuka Hana trembled.

Tears of humiliation streamed down her face once more.

She took a deep breath, as if using all her strength, and her voice, though slightly louder, sounded even more hollow:

"Owner……"

One voice after another.

Every time you say "Master".

It felt like a piece of flesh had been ripped from her heart.

Her will, her dignity.

Amidst these cries of submission.

It was completely crushed and sank into warm water.

Di Yan looked at the obedient puppy in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

He no longer hesitated.

She started tugging at the puppy's tail...

As the pool water rippled.

A touch of peach blossom spreads in the warm water...

[Ding! You have completed a conversation with Inuzuka Hana and gained the "Constitution of Being Close to Natural Energy" (allowing you to communicate with animals).]

.......

36. Kurenai Yuhi, Hinata, and Hana Inuzuka; a triple kill

"Getting closer to natural energy?"

"Able to communicate with animals?"

Di Yan's gaze swept over Inuzuka Hana, who was lying motionless by the pool, and he pondered silently.

It can replicate the ability to be close to animals in Hana Inuzuka.

This is not surprising.

The Inuzuka clan's ninjutsu originated from training ninja dogs.

Therefore, their kind must be naturally close to animals.

In other words, getting close to plants and animals.

To a certain extent, this can be seen as getting closer to nature.

There's nothing wrong with that.

This ability to communicate with animals reminded Di Yan of someone.

That was Jugo, one of Orochimaru's subordinates.

Jugo was born with the ability to connect with the energy of nature.

Able to communicate with animals.

Even mastering immortal arts...

Thinking about it, Di Yan looked at Inuzuka Hana's firm and smooth buttocks.

He couldn't help but pat you on the shoulder, exclaiming, "I never knew you were such a gem!"

clap clap clap...

Hana Inuzuka instinctively twitched, but did not flinch.

He simply resigned himself to his fate and lowered his head without responding.

Di Yan's face lit up with joy.

I never expected there would actually be such a pleasant surprise.

in this case.

As long as you communicate with Inuzuka Hana multiple times, as long as quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.

Sooner or later, he will be able to get a basic understanding of magic.

It was a huge profit!

A moment later, Di Yan clapped his hands.

"come in!"

squeak...

As soon as he finished speaking, the door outside the hot spring pool was pushed open.

Exhausted, Inuzuka Hana snapped out of her daze and looked up.

The steam rising from the hot pool seemed to have solidified.

"what……"

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Inuzuka Hana exclaimed in surprise.

He buried himself deep in the water.

Only a pair of eyes, wide open with shock and shame, were visible.

He stared intently at the two figures that appeared at the doorway.

Yes……

Kurenai Yuhi and Hinata Hyuga!

Why are they here?

And at a time like this?

Hana Inuzuka's mind went blank.

Then came overwhelming shame and indignation.

She was completely naked at the moment.

To appear before his fellow villagers in such a disheveled and humiliating state.

This was even worse than killing her.

She suddenly submerged her body completely underwater.

With only its mouth and nose exposed, it wished it could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Kurenai and Hinata were standing at the entrance.

They were equally stunned by the sight before them.

They were brought by Uchiha Izumi.

I thought it was another "summoning" from Emperor Yan or some new "instructions".

But I never expected to see such a scene.

Once upon a time, Hana Inuzuka was a spirited and fiery young woman.

At this moment, it's unexpected...

He actually appeared at the hot spring with His Majesty?

And look at the clothes scattered around the pond and Inuzuka Hana's panicked dive into the water...

The two women instantly understood what was happening.

A sense of sorrow and coldness, a feeling of sympathy for one's own kind, instantly swept over them.

Kurenai's face grew even paler, and her nails dug deeply into her palms.

Hinata instinctively covered her mouth.

Bai's eyes were filled with fear and pity, as if he saw a reflection of his past self.

They looked at each other.

They both saw the same despair in each other's eyes...
