"Of course I would," Sasame said with certainty. "A few hundred million is something I can spare." Even if it was real money, with the current scale of the Sunny Day Merchant Guild, it would be no problem at all. The Land of Waves, the Land of Snow, the Land of Water, the Land of Fire, and other countries. The business from these few countries combined was nothing to scoff at. If it wasn't money, then it was even simpler.
Kurenai Yuhi was stunned. She hadn't expected Sasame to be so serious. A few hundred million. An ordinary Jonin might not be able to earn that amount in their lifetime. An S-rank mission would only start at a million ryo. And it was dangerous and time-consuming. On top of that, they had to split the profits with the village or their teammates. If Sasame gave her a few hundred million, Kurenai Yuhi could live a life of comfort without having to work anymore. And her descendants might not have to either; they could just enjoy life.
"When did you learn to be so good at sweet-talking people?" Kurenai Yuhi continued to massage him, pouting slightly. Even after her initial shock, she still believed Sasame was just trying to humor her.
"Sister Kurenai," Sasame said with a soft chuckle. "Name your price. How many hundred million do you want to sell your second half of life to me?"
"What are you saying?" Kurenai Yuhi said, a little annoyed. "Don't joke!"
"I'm not joking," Sasame quickly denied. "Buying a Hokage advisor plus a Hokage secretary is a great deal."
"..." Kurenai Yuhi looked at his expression and couldn't help but frown. She didn't know what to say. After a moment, she snorted softly. "Are you really serious about letting me name a price?" she asked.
"Of course," Sasame nodded. "I'm the Hokage. My word is my bond."
"Two hundred million... no, five hundred million." Kurenai Yuhi narrowed her eyes, stating an extremely high price. She wanted to scare Sasame. As the Hokage's secretary, she was well aware of Konoha Village's financial situation. Although they had five hundred million ryo, taking it out would definitely cause chaos and a huge financial deficit. A competent Hokage would never do such a thing. Unless they applied to the Land of Fire. But would the Daimyo agree? Impossible.
"Deal," Sasame said, standing up and taking her hand, as if afraid she would back out. "Sister Kurenai, it's a done deal."
"???" Kurenai Yuhi was completely confused. Are you serious?
"Sasame, this isn't funny," Kurenai Yuhi glared at him.
"But you already agreed," Sasame knew she didn't believe him, so he didn't try to explain. To be honest, no ninja would believe him. But he had too much money. And he could just think of it as an advance payment for Kurenai Yuhi's future salary. It wasn't a huge loss.
"Okay, okay, okay," Kurenai Yuhi said, trying to humor him. At this moment, she felt Sasame was like a child.
Dusk.
Kurenai Yuhi left the Hokage's Office and walked home.
"I'm home." She opened the door and called out.
"Dinner's ready," Kurenai's mother, Suzuran Yuhi's voice came from inside.
"Okay," Kurenai Yuhi smiled happily. She took off her high heels and, in her black stockings, walked into the living room.
"By the way, there's a letter for you on the coffee table," Suzuran Yuhi said, poking her head out of the kitchen. "It was sent by Hokage-sama's men."
"What is it?" Kurenai Yuhi was a little confused. If it was a letter, he could have just given it to her at the Hokage's Office. There was no need to send it to her home.
"I don't know," Suzuran Yuhi said, and went back to preparing dinner.
Kurenai Yuhi sat on the sofa, her legs pressed together. Her posture was very proper. This was a mandatory lesson after becoming the Hokage's secretary. She had to maintain a good image. She couldn't embarrass the Hokage. This habit had even followed her home. Kurenai Yuhi opened the envelope. Inside wasn't a letter, but a bankbook. A bankbook from the Land of Fire's bank. After Sasame took control of the Land of Fire, the bank naturally fell into his hands. He was so confident, not just because of the Sunny Day Merchant Guild, but also because of this. Although the money in the bank wasn't his, he could use it temporarily. In other words, if he were a little more ruthless, Jiraiya would become a pauper in an instant. After all, he and many other ninjas kept their money in the Land of Fire's bank.
Kurenai Yuhi subconsciously glanced at it and froze. It was five hundred million ryo. At the same time, a note fell out. Kurenai Yuhi caught it. It was Sasame's handwriting. "Sister Kurenai, from now on, your life belongs to me."
"..." After a long while, Kurenai Yuhi came back to her senses. She bit her lip, put away the bankbook, and quickly put on her shoes.
"Mom, I'm going out for a bit. I'll be back soon," Kurenai Yuhi said, not waiting for her mother's reply. She opened the door and quickly vanished. Not long after, she appeared at the bank. It was the Konoha branch of the Land of Fire's bank. She went inside, and a few minutes later, she came out with a dazed expression. It was real. As long as she wanted to, she could withdraw the entire five hundred million ryo immediately. Although giving money was very vulgar, when the amount was large enough, few people could refuse. Whether they were men or women. Kurenai Yuhi was speechless with shock at Sasame's actions.
A new day.
Sasame was in high spirits as he pushed open the door. Behind him, Tsunade was still asleep. She thought she could handle it yesterday, so she fought for two more hours. She was now completely exhausted. After breakfast, Sasame left Shizune to take care of Chiharu and Tsunade and went to the Hokage's Office. He opened the door and found Kurenai Yuhi already there.
"Sister Kurenai, you're here so early today?" Sasame knew the reason. It was definitely the five hundred million ryo he had given her yesterday.
"Sasame, I can't take this. I'm giving it back," Kurenai Yuhi stood up and handed him the bankbook. Sasame was a little stunned. Could she really resist the temptation of such a huge amount of money? It was a little unbelievable. But it also showed that she was a good woman.
"Didn't we agree yesterday?" Sasame shook his head and didn't take it.
"I thought it was a joke," Kurenai Yuhi's beautiful eyes showed a hint of sadness.
"I don't joke," Sasame said with a soft chuckle, looking at her. "Sister Kurenai, don't feel like you owe me anything. Won't you feel better if you think of it as your future salary?" Kurenai Yuhi was stunned. According to that calculation, five hundred million ryo wasn't too exaggerated. But she still felt it was a little strange. It was like selling herself.
"Alright, Sister Kurenai, it's time to start work. There are a lot of things waiting for you," Sasame said, cutting off her thoughts.
"Okay," Kurenai Yuhi walked out of the Hokage's Office in a daze. She looked at the bankbook and, after a moment, suddenly smiled. Oh well. She might not fall for another person anyway. Selling her life to Sasame wasn't so bad.
The Land of Snow Daimyō's palace.
Sasame's appearance was immediately noticed by Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. She appeared in front of him and hugged him. Sasame immediately felt a soft sensation. There were no clothes to block her. This was because Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was wearing a cheongsam today. It was elegant and white, yet still sexy. Ever since Sasame took her out for a trip, her habits had changed. For example, she no longer wore the same clothes all the time; she would change occasionally. Of course, all the clothes were bought by Sasame.
"That's enough," Sasame said after three minutes, patting her slender waist. With the tight cheongsam, her waist was very beautiful. In the original story, her clothes didn't show off her figure at all. It was a waste.
"Okay," Kaguya Ōtsutsuki grunted, letting go of him, but she took his hand. Sasame couldn't help but feel a little wry. In terms of emotions, no one could compare to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Because she was too pure.
"Look at this," Sasame said, pulling her to the sofa and taking out the meteorite. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki glanced at it. A faint ripple appeared in her pure white eyes. "It's a part of the Ten-Tails," she said. According to the original story, this meteorite fell from the sky two hundred years ago. The First Hoshikage discovered it and built Hoshigakure around it. It must have fallen from the Ten-Tails' husk, which was sealed on the moon. As for how it fell, Sasame guessed it was related to the battle between the main family and the branch family of the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon. After all, the descendants of Ōtsutsuki Hamura were almost wiped out, with only Toneri Ōtsutsuki remaining. That battle must have been very intense. And it would make sense for it to have hit the Ten-Tails.
"This is radioactive. Can you get rid of it?" Sasame asked.
"I can," Kaguya Ōtsutsuki reached out and took the meteorite. It visibly trembled, as if it was very excited. A moment later, the meteorite was brand new, and the faint radiation was gone.
"Thank you," Sasame leaned in and kissed her lips. But Kaguya Ōtsutsuki immediately took the opportunity. He was lucky to escape her clutches. Sasame exhaled, his lips feeling numb. He looked at Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's watery eyes and remembered something else.
"Wait," Sasame said, taking her hand. "Look at this scroll." It was the Caged Bird seal. He had promised Hinata Hyuga he would help her improve it. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki glanced at it, nodded, then picked up Sasame and walked towards the room.
Noon.
Koyuki Kazahana knocked on the door. When she didn't hear a reply, she was a little confused. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki would normally not go out. She hesitated for a moment, then opened the door. The living room was empty. But she faintly heard sounds coming from the bedroom. She instinctively walked over and took a peek inside, and immediately covered her mouth. In her flustered state, she pushed the door open. Sasame immediately looked at her.
"I'm... I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!" Koyuki Kazahana's face was flushed red. But for some reason, her feet were planted on the ground, and she didn't leave. Sasame raised an eyebrow and looked at Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. She showed no reaction and was still lost in her own world.
"Come here," Sasame beckoned. Koyuki Kazahana bit her red lip and walked forward.
"What... what is it?" her eyes showed a seductive look.
"It's too cold. Warm me up," Sasame said, lifting the blanket. Koyuki Kazahana was stunned for a few seconds, then she got into the bed.
Night fell.
Sasame returned home. But this time, he was prepared. He took a bath first before seeing Tsunade. He didn't cause any suspicion. Time flew by. Two more months passed, and winter had arrived. This meant a new year had begun. Nothing major happened in Konoha Village. Sasame gave the meteorite and Peacock Style to Kurenai Yuhi. Her strength increased dramatically. However, as the Hokage's secretary, she rarely went on missions, so she had no use for it for now. The improved Sage Talent with the Cursed Seal worked well. But it was Orochimaru's Cursed Seal. Sasame didn't trust it. He was waiting for Kabuto Yakushi's Cursed Seal.
As for the Hyuga clan, with Sasame's support, Hiashi Hyuga became very firm. He temporarily suppressed the matter of putting the Caged Bird seal on Hanabi Hyuga. However, Elder Hiromi Hyuga was also building his forces, intending to replace the clan head. But he didn't know that his actions were all being monitored by Sasame. The day he acted, Hinata Hyuga could use the improved Caged Bird seal.
A major event happened in the Land of Fire. The capital was being renovated. After so long, the Land of Fire was completely cleaned up. The old nobles were all gone. The new ones were talented people chosen with the Mangekyō Sharingan. Loyalty was guaranteed in the face of absolute power. Sasame felt the time was right. He could renovate the capital of the Land of Fire into a modern city from his previous life. He could give Kaguya Ōtsutsuki a surprise. Not just her; Tsunade and the others would also be shocked. After all, the old cities were very average.
Hokage Office.
Sasame was resting on the Hokage's chair. Kurenai Yuhi knocked and entered. She was slightly startled. Sasame was lying down, seemingly asleep. She thought for a moment and walked over. "Sasame," she whispered. There was no response. She was a little surprised. With Sasame's strength, he should have woken up at the slightest sound. Was he really tired? Thinking of this, Kurenai Yuhi walked behind him and started massaging him. In fact, Sasame was in the Heavenly Network. The Heavenly Network was centered around Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Of course, its essence was chakra. Chakra was the combination of spiritual and physical power. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had enough power to input chakra from a long distance. Sasame had a sudden idea. He had Kaguya Ōtsutsuki use her chakra to create a genjutsu. The two of them were playing an online game. Yes, Sasame was playing a game of Naruto with Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Of course, all the in-game purchases were removed, and only the battle mode was kept. Under normal circumstances, Sasame definitely couldn't beat Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. But in the Heavenly Network, he could add restrictions. For example, not using chakra. The two of them were evenly matched. Therefore, Sasame had no time to respond to Kurenai Yuhi.
The battle ended. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was slightly defeated. This was mainly because she wasn't familiar with the game. In terms of speed and reaction time, she was faster than Sasame. But she had only been playing for a few days.
"I'm busy. We'll play again later." Sasame opened his eyes. He saw Kurenai Yuhi. She was staring at him. She had been massaging him, but after he didn't respond for a long time, she started staring blankly. Sasame was slightly startled and leaned in. Kurenai Yuhi was only released when she couldn't breathe. Her face was flushed, and the lipstick on her lips had faded considerably.
"I... I..." Kurenai Yuhi stammered for a long time. The kiss had interrupted her thoughts.
"Sister Kurenai, take your time," Sasame said, pulling her into his arms. Kurenai Yuhi's body stiffened, and her mind went completely blank. Until she felt his mischievous hand on her thigh through her stockings. She immediately got up. She left Sasame with only a faint scent. To be honest, his actions were quite shameless. But surprisingly, Kurenai Yuhi wasn't angry. She turned her head and reported the situation. "Naruto... has returned from Ryūchi Cave."
"He learned Sage Mode?" Sasame asked, admiring the shy mature woman in front of him. "Yes," Kurenai Yuhi was even more uncomfortable being stared at. But as the Hokage's secretary, she couldn't run away. She took a deep breath and said, "Lord Jiraiya wants to see you."
"Oh?" Sasame was a little surprised. When had Jiraiya ever been so polite? It was clear he needed something.
"Have him come to see me," Sasame said.
"Okay," Kurenai Yuhi tidied her clothes, then looked at her stockings. After confirming they were fine, she left the office.
