After leaving the Hyuga clan, Sasame returned to the Hokage Office. The matters of the Hidden Grass Village and Hozuki Castle had concluded, but it didn't mean they were entirely over. He still had one more thing to do: write a mission report. Sasame didn't particularly care about writing reports, but his three students did. They needed it to build their resumes. Yes, three. Even if Hinata Hyuga didn't participate, she would still be counted. When the Hokage cheated, who would dare to say anything?

"Kurenai-san, please help me write a mission report," Sasame certainly wouldn't write it himself. What's a secretary for, after all?

"It's about Hozuki Castle," Sasame thought for a moment. "Classify it as an S-rank mission. For the details, just write a few sentences." He omitted the specifics of Mikoto Uchiha's appearance and Sasuke Uchiha's wish. He simply stated that Mui, the lord of Hozuki Castle, opened the Box of Ultimate Bliss, releasing a monster. Through his and Team 9's efforts, they defeated and sealed it. Kurenai Yuhi naturally wouldn't question it. Following his instructions, she completed the mission report.

Sasame glanced at it. "Well written," he said.

Kurenai Yuhi smiled. "It's my duty as a secretary."

"Archive it," Sasame returned the documents to her.

"Yes," Kurenai Yuhi turned and left the Hokage Office.

[Due to your actions, Hinata Hyuga's fate has changed. You have gained one hundred points of Destiny Value.]

[Due to your actions, Hiashi Hyuga's fate has changed. You have gained twenty points of Destiny Value.]

Two consecutive notification sounds left Sasame a little confused. What happened with Hiashi Hyuga? He didn't know that the bow he gave had almost taken out his future father-in-law. Sasame quickly pushed that thought aside, dealt with some Konoha Village paperwork, and then it was time for his happy commute home.

He activated the Flying Thunder God Technique. He vanished from the Hokage Office. A few seconds later, the door was pushed open.

"Sasa—" Kurenai Yuhi's gaze fell on the empty Hokage seat, and she couldn't help but stomp her foot in regret. "Too late," she sighed, closing the door again, fastening her open collar, and then left for the day.

The next day. The Land of Snow.

Sasame knocked on the door.

"Come in," Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's serene voice rang out. Sasame pushed open the door and slowly entered. The table was empty. He looked towards the bed. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki leaned against the wall, covered by a blanket. She had been looking up at the ceiling, but when Sasame entered, she looked down at him.

"Just woke up?" Sasame walked over and asked.

"Didn't sleep," Kaguya Ōtsutsuki shook her head. "I can't sleep without you."

"Saying sweet things first thing in the morning? I can't handle that," Sasame was startled for a moment, then chuckled.

"Sweet things?" Kaguya Ōtsutsuki tilted her head, gazing at him with a hint of confusion. "Is that what sweet things are?"

"Yes," Sasame sat on the edge of the bed. "Sweet things are words that make people very happy when they hear them. Of course, they can only be said to the person you like." Kaguya Ōtsutsuki pulled back the blanket, revealing her long, slender, fair legs and pristine feet.

"Come over," she beckoned. Sasame rose and sat beside her. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki pulled the blanket back over them, covering both their legs.

"Say something sweet," she reached out, embraced Sasame, and pulled him into her arms.

"Sweet words, when forced, lose their effect," Sasame leaned against her shoulder, his eyes narrowed, gazing at her fair jawline. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki looked thoughtful, pursing her lips.

"Should we get up now?" Sasame remembered it was the Snow Festival today, and his original purpose was to take her out. He had been in this era for some time now, but she had been cooped up in the Land of Snow Daimyō's palace. If she didn't go out soon, she'd get moldy.

"Wait a moment," Kaguya Ōtsutsuki hugged him tighter, her soft, fair, long legs crossing over and pressing against his. "I like this," she said, her lips curving. "It gives me an uncontrollable feeling of a quickening heartbeat."

"..." Sasame was astonished. How did she know how to say such sweet things? And she doesn't even know she's saying them. Sasame felt completely at Lady Kaguya's mercy.

A moment later, he was released. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki kissed his cheek and said, "I want to eat the breakfast you made."

"Just a moment," Sasame left the room, borrowed the Daimyō's palace kitchen, and made a bowl of ramen. As for himself, he had already eaten with Tsunade.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki picked up her chopsticks and began eating breakfast quite elegantly. Sasame sat opposite her, watching her every move, his gaze finally resting on her forehead. The Rinne Sharingan, her third eye, obtained after eating the God Tree fruit. However, she usually didn't show it. Sasame had never seen its true form and was a little curious. But he didn't dare to rashly ask Kaguya Ōtsutsuki to show him. After all, this eye was probably the most precious thing to her.

"How is it?" Sasame asked when she finished eating.

"Very good," Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's eyes narrowed, like a well-fed white cat, looking quite content.

"If you say it's very good, then it must be very good," Sasame reached out and brushed the white hair from her forehead. He breathed a sigh of relief after noticing she wasn't angry.

"What are you doing?" Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was a little confused.

"Hmm, can't let your bangs cover your beauty," Sasame said, looking into her white eyes and smiling. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki blinked, realizing a faint joy seemed to well up inside her. Was it because she was praised for being beautiful? She suddenly felt a little strange. She had heard similar compliments before, but she had always let them pass or shown no reaction. Why was it so different when Sasame said it?

"Is that a sweet thing to say?" Kaguya Ōtsutsuki pondered for a moment and asked.

"Sort of," Sasame was startled for a moment, then replied. Sometimes he felt he couldn't keep up with Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's thought process. Perhaps this is what an emotionless girl is like.

"I see," Kaguya Ōtsutsuki smiled. "I don't dislike this feeling. You can say more." Sasame felt he was going to lose today. He finally managed to say something sweet, only to be flirted back at. She's too strong, Lady Kaguya. An ant like me can't escape your grasp.

"Let's go," Sasame opened the door. "The Snow Festival has begun. Look." Kaguya Ōtsutsuki looked up and saw exquisite patterns in the sky. Like white clouds, they transformed into various animals and plants. In addition, there were decorations unique to the Land of Snow. After Koyuki Kazahana's restoration to power, she received strong support from Sasame. Before, there were chakra armor, airships, and environmental modification machines. Now, they were making further efforts, continuing to optimize, and technology had advanced another level. Projecting patterns in the sky was an easy feat.

"That's you," Kaguya Ōtsutsuki pointed out Sasame in the very center of the pattern. Besides him, there was also Koyuki Kazahana. Sasame's heart skipped a beat. I hope Lady Kaguya isn't getting jealous? He felt she didn't care about Koyuki Kazahana. Or rather, there weren't many humans she would even look at directly.

"She likes you," Kaguya Ōtsutsuki said out of the blue.

"N-no... she doesn't, right?" Sasame's heart stopped.

"My eyes can see through her thoughts," Kaguya Ōtsutsuki said calmly. Sasame was slightly startled. He suddenly remembered that in the anime's original plot, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki saw through Ōtsutsuki Hamura's lie and Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's inner thoughts. Oh no!Doesn't that mean he had nowhere to hide from her?

"Ordinary creatures cannot hide any emotions from me," Kaguya Ōtsutsuki stared at him, a faint confusion appearing in her gaze. "But you are an exception." Sasame immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps it's the Ring of Destiny's protection? He wasn't sure of the reason. But regardless, it was a good thing. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki noticed the slight panic in his eyes. She took his hand, squeezed it, and said, "I don't care what you're thinking, as long as you like me." Sasame subconsciously looked at her. Her face didn't show much expression, but her words were so full of emotion. My goodness, he couldn't withstand Lady Kaguya at full power. The worst part was that she was completely unaware of what she was saying.

"Let's go," Sasame held her hand back. "Let's go see the streets." The Snow Festival was the Land of Snow's annual grand event. The streets were already bustling with people. Sasame had originally intended for Kaguya Ōtsutsuki to wear some disguise, but then he suddenly realized that no one seemed to be able to see them.

"You did that?"

"Yes," Kaguya Ōtsutsuki said calmly. "I don't like them, and I don't want them to disturb us." Her words completely showcased the style of a domineering CEO. Sasame smiled, walking along, playing with her hand. Soft and smooth. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki paid no mind to his actions, her eyes casually observing her surroundings. Everything in the future was quite new to her. Therefore, she didn't find it boring.

"What is that?" Kaguya Ōtsutsuki raised her hand, pointing to the people under a distant torii gate.

"Those are omamori," Sasame thought for a moment and explained. "They're a kind of amulet, for praying to deities for safety." Kaguya Ōtsutsuki shook her head upon hearing this. She was a deity. She didn't need such flashy things.

"Go buy one," Kaguya Ōtsutsuki stopped and said. Sasame was astonished. What would she buy it for? The deities in this world can barely protect themselves when they see her, how would they dare protect you? But since Lady Kaguya had spoken, he naturally had to comply. So he squeezed into the crowd and bought a pink omamori embroidered with the characters for "peace." Kaguya Ōtsutsuki held the omamori, and a moment later, a faint white light appeared on it. Vaguely, a profound chakra could be sensed.

"Here," Kaguya Ōtsutsuki put the omamori into his hand. "Wear it." Sasame was stunned. He clearly hadn't expected Kaguya Ōtsutsuki to waste so much chakra for him. Hmm, or perhaps she's accumulated too much chakra recently, and this is just a small reward for him.

"What does it do?" Sasame guessed. "Does it automatically trigger a defense when I'm attacked?"

"No. If you receive a fatal wound, I will appear," Kaguya Ōtsutsuki said in the calmest tone, uttering the most domineering words. "Because I will only allow you to die by my hand." Sasame couldn't restrain his heart's flutter and leaned in, blocking her mouth. After a good while, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki took his hand and continued walking. A smile inadvertently overflowed from the corner of her lips, like a blooming spring flower.

Sasame wasn't really used to shopping. Because in his eyes, there wasn't much to do. In his previous life, when he went out, it was mostly for food. But Kaguya Ōtsutsuki didn't seem to have that idea. She only ate what Sasame personally cooked. She didn't eat anything else.

"Bookstore," Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's snow-white eyes flickered. She pulled Sasame into the bookstore.

"???" Sasame was completely dumbfounded. In the most prominent spot, there was a huge poster. It had a sentence written on it.

Jiraiya's Icha Icha Paradise latest volume, hot on sale.

"This won't do," Sasame reached out and pushed Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's face, trying to make her look away. But this clearly had the opposite effect.

"Why not?" Kaguya Ōtsutsuki looked down at him, curiosity in her eyes.

"The book's quality isn't good," Sasame said stiffly. "It's not good to read."

"You don't like it?" Kaguya Ōtsutsuki asked.

"I don't like it," Sasame said against his conscience. Actually, it wasn't entirely against his conscience. Icha Icha Paradise was okay in the ninja world, but compared to his previous life, it was rather mediocre. It couldn't compare to things like strategy guides, erotic novels, or fantasy novels.

"Then kill him," Kaguya Ōtsutsuki said with an indifferent expression.

"Uh, no need," Sasame waved his hand. "If you want to kill someone, we can go to Mount Myōboku another day."

"Mount Myōboku, does it still exist?" Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was a little surprised.

"Yes," Sasame nodded. "Not only does it exist, but its influence is significant; it's revered as one of the Three Great Sage Regions."

"When do we go?" Kaguya Ōtsutsuki frowned slightly and asked.

"No rush," Sasame reached out, pinched her cheek, and said, "Let's not worry about that today."

"Okay," Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's gaze shifted to the books on the bookshelf. She was very obedient and didn't buy Icha Icha Paradise. Instead, she bought a novel called Love Strategy. Yes, it was a novel. Sasame flipped through it; it was a decent novel. So he paid for it. The reason he didn't buy Icha Icha Paradise was because he didn't want Kaguya Ōtsutsuki to get into those messy things. That would make it less fun.

Leaving the bookstore, the two continued walking. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki released Sasame's hand and instead opened the Love Strategy novel. Sasame's lips twitched slightly. This powerful villain, would she be turned into a recluse by him? After novels, should she get hooked on games? But on second thought, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki didn't have much else to do. Her only job now was collecting rent. No technical skill was involved; she just had to wait for the Hidden Sand Village ninjas to spend money like crazy. Not finding something else to do would indeed be boring. Sasame himself couldn't always accompany her. Bringing her to Konoha Village would scare the flora and fauna. Especially Black Zetsu and White Zetsu. Oh, and animals too. Like toads and poisonous snakes.

"Let's go back," Kaguya Ōtsutsuki closed the novel, her eyes bright, and said. Sasame was a little confused, feeling that she seemed a bit off. Was there something wrong with this novel? But he couldn't very well ask, so he just nodded.

The two returned to the palace. After Kaguya Ōtsutsuki put down the novel, she kept staring at Sasame. It made him feel a little unnerved. A moment later, he couldn't help but ask, "Uh... why are you staring at me?" Kaguya Ōtsutsuki sat on the tatami and beckoned to him. Sasame, not knowing why, leaned closer.

"The book says all men like one thing," Kaguya Ōtsutsuki tilted her head, asking with a curious and innocent tone, "Can you tell me what it is?"

"..." Sasame swallowed. At this moment, if he didn't do something, it would seem rather rude.

"Kaguya, don't move yet," Sasame reached out and helped her remove her outer clothing. Her graceful body was revealed before him. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki showed no shyness; she simply looked at him, waiting for his next move. For her, if she didn't dislike it, anything was acceptable. Sasame admired the large expanse of smooth skin, feeling strangely nervous. For some reason, he had become the novice.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki straightened up, her snow-white hair cascading down to Sasame's abdomen. She breathed lightly, her eyes filled with bewilderment. This feeling was unprecedented. Very strange, and also wonderful. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's exquisite face, usually devoid of expression, quietly flushed. Like the morning glow, bright and captivating. She reached out a pale hand and caressed Sasame's handsome face.

"Is this love?" Kaguya Ōtsutsuki murmured, her eyes hazy. She once again felt a sense of mental satisfaction. The last time was when she waited a thousand years to devour the God Tree fruit. But mental satisfaction alone wasn't enough. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki activated her Rinne Sharingan. She transferred the two of them to the Starting Ball Dimension of the Amenominaka. Sasame subconsciously grabbed her thigh and asked, "Wh-why are we here?" Don't blame him for stammering; he was truly inexpressibly suffering. Aliens were truly terrifying.

"Here, I can briefly control the flow of time," Kaguya Ōtsutsuki lowered her head slightly, her face glowing with an alluring, rosy paleness. She wanted to prolong this feeling as much as possible.

"???" Sasame first discovered the flaw of the Sage Body. Its recovery ability was insufficient. He was deeply ensnared in a soft trap, unable to escape.

A month later, he returned to the Land of Snow Daimyō's palace. At this time, only one day had passed in the outside world. Sasame opened his eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling. Aches and pains spread throughout his body, making him not want to move at all. This long, arduous battle was simply too exhausting. He felt like his whole body was falling apart. The Sage Body, it turns out, has limits. He turned his head and saw Kaguya Ōtsutsuki sleeping, hugging his arm, a smile on her face. Sasame leaned closer and kissed her forehead. Then he closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.

He didn't know how long passed. He felt a wave of nausea, almost wanting to foam at the mouth.

"Are you awake?" Kaguya Ōtsutsuki asked calmly. Sasame looked at the landscape before him, where peaks gathered like mountains and waves raged like fury, and felt a pang in his waist. Help!
