Kurotsuchi cursed, "So narcissistic!"
Tenten and Ino also ran out. Although they hated Kairen for forcibly taking them, they were still somewhat curious about his stronghold.
This tyrant was lustful and depraved, but it had to be admitted that his abilities were extraordinary.
Sure enough, they were immediately attracted by this country that resembled the forests of Konoha.
Back when Tenten and Ino came to the Land of Wind for the Chūnin Exams, there had been nothing here—nothing but sand everywhere.
But now, trees grew in abundance, with lush branches and dense leaves. Even if someone said this was within the Land of Fire, they wouldn't find it strange.
Ōnoki flew in the sky, clicking his tongue in amazement.
"How strange! How strange! In just a few days, you've transformed the Land of Wind into something so beautiful. Wood Release truly is an incredible thing."
"No—it should be said that in the hands of someone like you, Wood Release is like the Sage of Six Paths himself."
Ōnoki descended and looked seriously at Kairen.
"Kid, the Land of Earth is yours now too. You must find a way to improve the soil there as well."
No one wanted to live in a harsh and barren place. Naturally, the more prosperous it was, the better.
Kairen nodded.
"Let's enter the city."
The towering city stood like a beast on the green plains, swallowing and releasing massive streams of people.
With the city completed, Kairen relocated all of Sunagakure's people into it.
The original village was converted into a public restroom, and the statues of the four Kazekage served as ticket booths.
The city's population wasn't just people from Sunagakure. Merchants from all over also came here.
It had already replaced the capital of the Land of Wind as the economic and trade center.
Merchants pursued profit. After briefly confirming that Kairen and his group were essentially a pack of dogs, they put aside their worries and began doing business.
The people of Iwagakure looked around like country bumpkins, shouting in amazement.
The Land of Wind had once been even poorer than them. The Land of Earth had only been able to find confidence by comparing themselves to such people.
But now, those people had climbed ashore and were living more comfortably than them.
While envious, the people of Iwagakure couldn't help but sigh regretfully.
"If only Lord Kairen had chosen our village as the capital back then, we'd all be citizens of the imperial capital now."
Ōnoki's mouth twitched. Sure enough, these guys were all dogs—after just one day, they had forgotten their own identity.
In the distance, a young man with dark red hair and a large gourd on his back approached.
It was Gaara!
Kairen smiled.
"Brother-in-law, come, arrange accommodations for the people of Iwagakure."
Gaara's mouth twitched. Kairen directly called him brother-in-law—of course he understood.
His sister had already settled in Kairen's imperial palace, yet she had lied to him, saying she was just working there doing laundry.
In the end, Gaara understood that his sister had fallen in love with Kairen. After struggling internally several times, he finally accepted it.
After all, there wasn't a man in this world more outstanding than Kairen.
But… he was simply too romantic.
Gaara glanced at the three girls beside Kairen. All of them were top-tier beauties.
He sighed inwardly. This brother-in-law of his was truly addicted to collecting women.
"The Fifth Kazekage… Gaara!" Ōnoki stepped forward and met Gaara's gaze.
They stared at each other silently for two seconds. Something like mutual understanding seemed to pass between them.
Their circumstances were similar. Their villages had been taken by Kairen, their loved ones had been drawn to him, and yet they still had to stay and help him.
Gaara shook his head and replied,
"The title of Kazekage is already a thing of the past. I'm now the director of the Desert Control Bureau."
The Land of Wind lacked trees and had abundant sand, making the Desert Control Bureau extremely important.
He had volunteered for this position, participating personally in the transformation of the Land of Wind.
After chatting briefly, Gaara began arranging housing for the villagers and ninja of Iwagakure.
Ōnoki had much he wanted to discuss, so he followed behind Gaara.
Kairen brought Kurotsuchi, Ino, and Tenten to his imperial palace, and had a shadow clone lead Ino and Tenten to visit Hinata and Hanabi.
Kairen took Kurotsuchi to a palace.
The palace was yellow in tone, carrying the flavor of the Land of Earth, making Kurotsuchi feel at home.
Kurotsuchi toured it with satisfaction for a while, then nodded.
"I'll consider this a pass."
She lightly stood on her toes and gave Kairen a gentle kiss on the cheek.
"This is your reward."
Kairen smiled.
"Thank you for your praise, my wife!"
Kurotsuchi instructed,
"I don't care how many women you have, but every night, you must come back to my room and satisfy me."
Kairen nodded.
"No problem. Um… would you accept a threesome or foursome… After all, running back and forth all night is troublesome."
"Get lost!"
What greeted Kairen was only Kurotsuchi's punches and kicks.
...
The place where Hinata and Hanabi moved into within the Forbidden City was beside flowing water and small bridges.
Ino and Tenten looked at Hinata, who wore a kimono and carried herself like a noble lady. She seemed even more beautiful than before.
Ino asked,
"Hinata, are you doing well here?"
Hinata gently warmed a pot of tea, her face showing quiet happiness.
"It's quite nice here. Kairen treats me very well. Whatever I want, he helps me obtain."
Hanabi glared resentfully at Ino and Tenten from the side.
Their arrival made her uncomfortable. It was obvious they came to seduce her brother-in-law.
These two weren't good people, and her brother-in-law wasn't good either—he was a complete pervert!
Ino lay helplessly on the tatami, sighing.
"If that rogue only loved me, it'd be fine. But he has so many women, and worst of all, he's still not satisfied… He even wants Kurenai-sensei and Hokage-sama."
"Hinata, can you imagine that scene? One day that pervert puts all of us on the same bed… Th-this-this… how embarrassing!"
Hinata's face turned red. Kairen really did have such beastly tendencies, and most importantly, her teacher was among those people.
Teacher and student serving the same man together—this—
Ino looked at Hinata and said,
"Didn't you say he dotes on you? Can you ask him to restrain himself a bit? Aren't we enough to satisfy him?"
Tenten blushed beside them, unable to handle Ino's bold words.
Hinata lowered her head to hide her red face, thinking of Kairen's overwhelming vigor.
The few of them truly couldn't satisfy him.
Ino continued talking about her troubles, then asked Hinata whether it hurt, how it felt… and so on.
It was simply a girl's worries before becoming a woman.
Suddenly, Ino smiled at Hinata and Tenten.
"Have you noticed something?"
Tenten asked,
"What?"
Everyone turned their gaze toward Ino, wanting to hear her discovery.
Ino stood up, a glimmer in her eyes.
"That among our generation, Sakura is the only one Kairen didn't take. Back then, Sakura had already been captured by him."
"Sakura isn't bad-looking either. Based on that pervert's style, he should've devoured her completely."
"But he didn't. Kairen let Sakura go. What do you think that means?"
Hinata asked in confusion,
"What does it mean?"
Ino laughed.
"It means she has no feminine charm at all. That pervert isn't interested in her. Haha, Wide Forehead, I won. I have more feminine charm than you."
Hanabi said disdainfully from the side,
"You even compete over something like that. How childish!"
