In Obito's eyes,
Despite Konoha's attempts to suppress the news and prevent details from leaking, the fact that a man named Heiyan had managed to kidnap Fifth Hokage Tsunade and escape unharmed despite attacks from many Konoha experts was enough to prove his terrifying strength.
Obito asked himself honestly—if even he, who possessed Kamui and could appear and disappear like a ghost, couldn't accomplish such a feat.
Moreover, that mysterious figure Heiyan framed Akatsuki upon leaving, making Obito naturally more cautious and speculate about his opponent's true intentions.
"You must know I'm not buying this answer for a second."
Sasuke said slowly, drawing the Sword of Kusanagi and pointing its blade at Obito.
"Believe it or not—it's your call," Obito shrugged indifferently. "You can fight me here if you want, but the Five Kage Summit is about to begin soon. Danzo, the biggest shadowy figure behind the Uchiha clan's destruction, will also attend the meeting. Don't you want to take revenge for Itachi, for your parents, and for your Uchiha clansmen?"
Hearing this, Sasuke's eyes narrowed sharply and his body tensed.
After an intense moment of suffocating silence,
Clang!
He sheathed his sword and turned outward, walking away.
"That's more like it." Smiling, Obito followed him out.
They made their way directly to the Three Wolf Mountains in the Land of Iron.
Snow fell heavily across the Land of Iron.
Deep within its mountain ranges, in a vast evergreen forest, stood a newly built wooden cabin villa.
The cabin's exterior was covered with a thick layer of pure white snow, standing firm amidst the frigid blizzard, yet inside burned a fireplace keeping the space warm as spring.
Inside the master bedroom, Tsunade, lying on a soft large bed, slowly opened her eyes and woke up.
Where am I?
She blinked groggily, scanning the unfamiliar room with growing confusion. She only remembered falling asleep after being intimate with Heiyan in her office, and apparently slept for quite a long time.
Just as Tsunade frowned and prepared to get up for investigation, the door creaked open, and Heiyan walked in carrying a cup of hot tea.
"This is the Land of Iron. Drink some tea first to warm yourself."
He approached the bed, handed her the hot tea, and then truthfully told her everything about his plan.
Learning that Heiyan had taken her from Konoha in broad daylight left Tsunade gaping in shock. It was a total disgrace for the Fifth Hokage.
But after calming down, Tsunade quickly came to terms with it.
After all, Tsunade knew there must be deep reasoning behind Heiyan's actions.
"So, you believe that once Danzo replaces me as Hokage and heads to the Five Kage Summit, Uchiha Sasuke will come seeking vengeance, ultimately triggering The Fourth Great Ninja War?"
She organized her thoughts before asking Heiyan.
"Yes. With the arrival of The Fourth Great Ninja War, right and wrong will collide in one final decisive battle. Only after this war will true peace finally arrive."
This was Heiyan's explanation.
"Whew… At least I don't have to deal with that mess anymore."
Hearing this, Tsunade exhaled deeply. In fact, she had wanted to quit being Hokage for a very long time—it was pure torture.
"Tsunade, you've worked hard."
Heiyan read her expression attentively and thoughtfully sat by the bed to massage her shoulders. However, his hands gradually drifted from her shoulders to other areas.
The fire crackled more fiercely in the room...
In the adjacent bedroom,
Hinata was half-awake when she overheard several voices whispering nearby.
"She's called Hinata Hyuga, right? Seems like she's the princess of the Hyuga clan."
"She should only be fifteen this year, so why does she have such a well-developed body? Look at those breasts... They're really big and firm. What did she eat to grow like that?"
"How enviable."
"..."
Not only were those voices gossiping, but it seemed like someone was also lightly poking her body with their fingers.
No, stop!
Hinata sobbed inwardly, forcing herself to open her eyes. But soon she realized that the ones taking advantage of her weren't a group of men, but three teenage girls just like herself.
"You're awake. Don't be afraid; we won't hurt you."
Haku, the kindest among the three girls, gently patted Hinata's shoulder, trying to calm her down.
Beside her, Izumi Uchiha and Shinrin explained the situation to Hinata in turn.
"Master Heiyan said he took you away to test how Naruto feels about you. Don't worry, the teacher won't do anything to you."
"We were all on the brink of death before the teacher saved us. Master Heiyan is the gentlest, kindest man in the entire world."
"..."
As the three girls took turns comforting Hinata, on the nearby bed, Samui had quietly regained consciousness at some point.
However, she didn't immediately open her eyes, instead pretending to remain unconscious.
One reason was that she discovered her hands and feet were bound. The second was that she didn't want to alert her enemies, so she tried her best to eavesdrop for information.
From their conversation, Samui quickly learned some shocking news.
For example, these three girls in the room were all Heiyan's students, each an exceptionally talented genius possessing Kekkei Genkai.
But what shocked Samui the most was the relationship between Heiyan and Tsunade.
These two were actually romantically involved.
If this news got out, countless people across the world of shinobi would be left with dropped jaws.
However, after gathering quite a bit of intelligence, Samui still hadn't resolved her biggest mystery—
Why had Heiyan abducted her?
Could it possibly be for her body? That seemed unlikely.
Anyway, Samui's heart pounded with anxiety.
After a while,
The door creaked open, and Heiyan stepped in, his arm draped gently around Tsunade's slim waist.
"Lady Tsunade."
Seeing this, Izumi, Haku, and Shinrin exchanged glances, then rose up in perfect unison, greeting Tsunade politely together.
Tsunade blushed immediately, shooting Heiyan a glare. Heiyan, in turn, gave her an innocent look, as if saying, It wasn't me teaching them that.
Tsunade shot Heiyan a sharp glare and gave his waist a hard pinch before leaving him behind and walking toward the three girls, gently patting their heads as she said:
"You're all so cute."
After some casual chatting and learning about the tragic experiences of these three young women, Tsunade's motherly instincts kicked in. She quickly deepened her emotional connection with them.
During this time, Tsunade reassured Hinata that Heiyan wasn't a bad guy and encouraged her to settle in for now.
Hearing these words from her respected Tsunade-sama, Hinata finally felt relieved and dropped her guard, actively joining the conversation among the women.
On the other side.
Heiyan walked to Samui's bedside. His eyes flickered slightly as he spoke to her:
"I know you're awake."
As he spoke, he began untying the ropes around her wrists and ankles.
Samui opened her beautiful blue-green eyes and nervously stared at this mysterious man, unsure what to say.
Heiyan snapped his fingers, sending a milky-white [Parasitic Spore] flying from his fingertip into Samui's body.
"Your body has already been controlled by me, turning you into a living puppet. So give up any thoughts of escape."
He warned Samui first, then offered her a carrot, promising, "However, this situation won't last long. As long as you take me to a certain place, I'll grant you freedom afterward."
"Do you want to go to the site of the Five Kage Summit?"
Samui quickly caught on, asking cautiously.
"Indeed. It's no wonder you're the Raikage's secretary; you really get things right away."
Heiyan nodded appreciatively. Samui was both his guide and his hostage, making her quite a useful card.
He wasn't worried about Samui refusing—because she had no choice in the matter.
Sure enough.
"Fine, I agree."
After a moment's contemplation, Samui clenched her teeth and accepted Heiyan's demand.
"Dinner is ready. Come have something to eat with us. Don't be shy—just treat it like your own home."
Heiyan tossed out these words before turning toward the dining table.
Samui hesitated slightly but still got up from the bed and followed him over.
Ten minutes later.
The dining table was filled with steaming dishes that looked so delicious they made one's mouth water.
Sharing this meal with six women reminded Heiyan fondly of the days on Penglai Island, where he used to dine with Yurou, Pakura, and others.
At the table, there was laughter and lively conversation, creating a warm atmosphere. Even Samui gradually relaxed and joined into the lively mood.
While drinking soup from her spoon, Tsunade stole several glances at Samui from the corner of her eye, closely watching Heiyan's expressions too.
She felt a bit suspicious—somehow, she didn't believe it was that simple for Heiyan to just "happen" to abduct Samui.
She knew Heiyan too well. She understood exactly what kind of woman he preferred.
Right before her stood Samui, twenty-four years younger than herself yet matching her in figure, making Tsunade feel a vague sense of threat.
"What's wrong with you?"
Heiyan noticed Tsunade acting strangely and asked curiously.
"Hmph," she muttered coldly, clearly unimpressed.
"Tch," Tsunade scoffed, turning her head away and ignoring him.
Heiyan was visibly surprised, though he couldn't figure out what had angered Tsunade. After dinner, he took her hand and led her into the bedroom, planning to comfort her properly.
After clearing the dinner table, Izumi and the others headed off to their rooms to get some rest.
Shinrin and Hinata shared a room, while Haku took the other room alone. Izumi, on the other hand, ended up sharing a bed with Samui.
Samui didn't say anything. She understood that Izumi Uchiha was Heiyan's senior disciple, sent here specifically to keep an eye on her.
"Don't even think about running away, sis," Izumi whispered playfully.
Her eyes twinkled mischievously before transforming into crimson [Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan], immediately freezing Samui in place with shock, her entire body stiffening.
Then, smirking proudly, Izumi wrapped her arms around Samui and tossed a leg over her body before dozing off.
"Huff~"
Samui stared at the ceiling, letting out a deep sigh before reluctantly closing her eyes.
Inside the room, everyone drifted into peaceful slumber, entering sweet dreams.
