A voice suddenly sounded out of nowhere inside his mind: "Who are you?"
Kairen replied, "Little Tsunade! Have you already forgotten your lover so quickly?"
"Kairen, you damned thief, get out of my body!"
Tsunade shouted furiously, yet all she had left was powerless rage.
Kairen's teasing voice echoed faintly: "Haha… Tsunade! Your entire body already belongs to me. I'm just inspecting the goods first — why are you shouting so loudly?"
"Ahhh… villain! Pervert! Scoundrel! Get out right now!"
Tsunade was just short of throwing the word Thief at Kairen as well.
Kairen had an idea and stopped paying attention to Tsunade, returning to the real world. Looking at the original bodies still kissing together felt somewhat strange.
The woman's body was even beginning to stir with desire, wanting to be lifted up and pressed against the other.
Kairen quickly controlled Tsunade's body to pull away. If the desire grew any stronger, he'd have to change his name to Liu Jie.
"Cough, cough…"
Kairen coughed twice, gradually mastering Tsunade's voice.
"What are you trying to do? What are you trying to do?"
Tsunade screamed wildly inside her mind, practically turning into a painting from all the shouting.
Under the watchful eyes of countless Konoha ninja—
The Fifth Hokage, who had just been violated, suddenly seemed like a different person. Hooking her arms around that demon's neck, she spoke:
"I have an announcement. From today onward, Moku Kairen is my man, and Konoha belongs to him as well."
The scene felt so real that several Konoha ninja grabbed the person beside them just to confirm they felt pain — only then realizing this wasn't a genjutsu.
The Hokage was selling the village for a man!
"Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!"
Tsunade screamed hysterically nonstop, but none of the Konoha ninja could hear her.
Kairen puffed out her proud figure and teased Tsunade: "Tsunade, that's enough for today!"
"Bastard! Get out!"
"Oh right, I'll take something with me."
"You filthy thing, what are you trying to take?"
Like a gust of wind, Kairen left Tsunade's body.
After regaining control, Tsunade suddenly realized her whole body felt chilly. She was completely naked!
Just as she prepared to punch Kairen to death, Kairen's original body suddenly transformed into a mass of flames and vanished without a trace.
"Tsunade! In a few days I'll come to propose marriage. Prepare to enter the bridal chamber with me!"
"You bastard!"
Tsunade shouted toward the horizon, but Kairen had already disappeared. The remaining black shadows melted into darkness and sank into the earth.
After Kairen vanished, many Konoha ninja collapsed onto the ground, finally breathing sighs of relief, silently thankful to have survived.
The pressure of standing against Kairen was overwhelming. Just the shadow ninja alone were impossible to deal with, let alone Kairen fighting at full strength.
Meanwhile, the Daimyō's envoy who had earlier wet himself regained his arrogance and approached Tsunade alongside two Konoha advisors.
"Hokage, were those words you just said true? Are you planning to defect with Konoha?"
Tsunade looked at the envoy, nearly in tears.
...
Kairen sat half-reclined atop the skull of a bone dragon, quietly sniffing Tsunade's clothes.
A tempting milky fragrance lingered within, and a perverted expression appeared on his face.
Crude though it was, the scent was rich — the fragrance of a maiden was simply irresistible.
"Moku Kairen, give my dog back!" A loud shout blocked the entire army formation.
Kairen quickly stuffed his spoils into his pocket so others wouldn't witness his perversion.
He looked into the distance, curious who dared block his path.
Far away—
A young man dressed in gray stood there, red markings painted across his face, his expression wild and rebellious like a lone wolf.
It was Inuzuka Kiba. Behind him stood two women from the Inuzuka clan along with several fierce dogs.
Kairen immediately noticed a slender girl among them.
Dressed in white, with signature red facial markings, her wild appearance strangely carried a gentle beauty.
If Kairen remembered correctly, she was Kiba's older sister — Inuzuka Hana.
He wondered whether she could cure the lustful illness of this beast within him.
Kairen flashed forward, appearing instantly beside Inuzuka Hana. Taking her small hand, he spoke elegantly:
"Beautiful lady, please allow me to introduce myself."
So fast!
Inuzuka Hana instantly tensed to the extreme, while Inuzuka Tsume beside her assumed a combat stance like a protective hound guarding its food.
Kairen introduced himself: "My name is Kairen. I often come here to hang out. Everyone calls me Kairen. I live alone, and my house also—"
Kiba's mother suddenly interrupted his endless chatter, glaring at him angrily.
"Moku Kairen, return Kiba's dog immediately!"
Kairen looked toward Inuzuka Tsume. "Mother-in-law, couldn't you lower your voice when talking to your son-in-law?"
"Bah! Who's your mother-in-law?" Inuzuka Tsume spat.
Kiba jumped forward, staring fiercely at Kairen.
"Kairen, release my sister — and Akamaru too!"
Kairen slowly released Inuzuka Hana's hand. The moment she was free, she retreated like a frightened rabbit, hiding behind Kiba and Tsume.
"Whistle—"
Kairen blew a whistle. A dog larger than a bull came charging from afar, followed by dozens of canine followers.
As the massive dog approached, Kiba stared in disbelief. "You… you're Akamaru?"
Although Kairen had thoroughly corrupted Akamaru's conscience, its original habits remained. It stuck out its tongue at Kiba and barked twice in response.
"How did you grow this big?"
Kiba asked, utterly confused.
Just days ago Akamaru had been normal-sized. Now his shoulders stood higher than Kiba's — even puberty couldn't explain growth like this. Had he been injected with hormones?
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Akamaru barked three times. Everyone present understood canine speech well enough to grasp the meaning.
After understanding, Kiba fell silent. Then he pointed at Kairen and asked, "
Akamaru… staying with this guy really lets you grow stronger quickly?"
Akamaru nodded.
Kairen smiled. "Inuzuka Kiba, I didn't steal Akamaru. Deidara took him away. Now he's my vanguard general — he's living the peak of dog life."
"As for you… ask him yourself whether he still wants to follow a down-and-out guy like you."
Kiba clenched his fists, glancing at the giant dog beside him.
The bond between man and dog ran deep — especially for the Inuzuka clan.
Kiba hesitated to ask. He could clearly sense how much his partner had changed, including the no-longer-pure heart within.
Inuzuka Tsume, however, didn't care about Kairen's feelings and shouted,
"Akamaru, come here! Have you forgotten your time with Kiba?"
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Three Haimaru Brothers barked angrily as well, condemning Akamaru's ingratitude.
For a moment, clarity returned to Akamaru's eyes. How could childhood innocence be forgotten? Master and pet had once been like brothers.
Kairen smiled and patted Akamaru's head.
"Think about your current life. Hundreds of dogs under your command — what prestige that is. Dogs across the ninja world look up to you."
"Even the Four-Tails follows obediently behind you. What would you gain by going back?"
Akamaru suddenly understood. A dog must live like a proper dog. Society had already dyed him gray — he knew how to choose.
He stepped back, leaving Kiba's side, and obediently lay behind Kairen.
That was his answer.
Inuzuka Tsume roared, "Akamaru!"
Kairen laughed loudly. "Haha! My charm isn't so weak that I can't handle a single dog."
Kiba stared directly into Akamaru's eyes and muttered sadly,
"Akamaru… you've become stronger… but also stranger."
Akamaru crouched guiltily. It wasn't betrayal — Kairen simply offered too much.
Inuzuka Tsume pointed and cursed, "You ungrateful dog!"
Kairen quickly stopped her. "Alright, alright, stop scolding. I can return Akamaru to you."
The moment those words fell, all three were shocked.
One dog panicked, biting Kairen's sleeve, begging him not to do something so dog-like.
Kiba's face lit up. "Really?!"
Kairen nodded. "Of course. But—"
In life, the most frightening words were always but, however, or even my condolences.
That single word made all three members of the Inuzuka family tense completely.
Kairen pointed directly at Inuzuka Hana, revealing his true nature.
"She has to marry me. Then we'll become family, and I can also teach you my dog-raising experience."
Inuzuka Tsume bared her fangs. "Dream on!"
Inuzuka Hana stepped back two paces, frowning. "I will never marry you."
Kiba raised a kunai and confronted Kairen, declaring his stance.
Akamaru secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He truly feared being returned — a brutal beating would surely follow.
Kairen smiled. "Do the three of you really think I'm negotiating with you? I'm giving you a way out, and you refuse to take it."
"Men — tie up both people and dogs."
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
The army closed in. Thousands surrounded the three members of the Inuzuka family.
Seeing Kairen's wolf-like army, Inuzuka Tsume swallowed nervously, cold sweat forming.
"I think… the three of us may have been a little reckless."
"Woof!"
Haimaru barked in agreement.
Before long, the Inuzuka family delivered themselves right into captivity — humans and dogs all bound tightly.
Especially Inuzuka Hana. Judging from the rope technique alone, it looked like at least ten years of experience.
Kairen lifted her chin and admired her. "Truly a beauty. She'd look even better in a dog outfit."
Inuzuka Tsume shouted anxiously, "Come at me instead! Don't touch my daughter!"
Kairen turned, speechless. "Auntie, no matter how undiscerning I am, I wouldn't target a woman who's already had two children."
A shadow clone escorting Hana muttered quietly, "Princess Tsunade is clearly older than Inuzuka Tsume!"
"Too much talk!"
Kairen slapped the talkative clone into white smoke.
"Take them back to the imperial palace. I'll deal with them after I crush the Land of Lightning."
"Yes!"
After all the trouble, the army finally resumed normal movement.
Kairen grabbed Wolon and Fenchu, pulled them into his arms, lay back atop the bone dragon's head, and set off once more.
