Han pushed open the heavy front doors of the mansion and stepped inside with Ulti still sandwiched between Ino and Sakura. The wild girl kept switching moods every few seconds — one moment she was giggling and calling him "Big Brother" in the sweetest voice, the next she was snarling threats at his bodyguards like she wanted to bite their heads off. Robin was already waiting in the entrance hall, bowing gracefully as always.
"Welcome home, Master," she said softly. "I will prepare a room for our new guest right away."
Ulti's eyes lit up like fireworks. "Big Brother's house! It's so big and fancy! Can I sleep in your bed tonight? I'll be super quiet… unless you want me loud~"
Then her face twisted. "And if these two sluts try to steal even one second of your attention, I'll tear their pretty faces off and feed them to the dogs!"
Han kept his face calm in front of the girls, but inside his thoughts were racing. Damn… I really wanted to bring Tsunade and Doll home too. The way Tsunade's massive breasts strained against that lab coat, her perfect hourglass figure swaying with every step… and Doll with her elegant short black bob, those calm violet eyes and that sleek body in the tight dress… both of them looked so tempting. It hurts that I couldn't take them back with me right now. Snatching two important doctors from the hospital on the same day would look way too suspicious. People would start asking questions I can't answer yet.
He glanced up at the sky through the tall windows and muttered quietly to himself, "Truck-kun, I swear I'll come back for them the second my soul is strong enough. Just give me a little more time, buddy."
Ulti suddenly lunged sideways, trying to bite Sakura's arm. "Stop walking so close to Big Brother! Only I get to be close!"
Sakura dodged smoothly and tightened her grip. Ino gave Han a worried look, but he just waved it off.
Once they reached the main living area, Han turned to his three bound girls with a relaxed smile on the outside while his mind worked fast on the inside.
Dealing with Ulti's crazy swings is harder than I expected. I need to bond her as fast as possible before she actually tries to kill someone. But my soul still isn't strong enough. I need more worshippers, and I need them praying regularly.
He thought about a few ideas — making public announcements, starting a fake charity, maybe even throwing a festival — but every plan felt too suspicious. People would notice something was off.
Then the perfect idea hit him.
He didn't say a word out loud. He simply opened the system menu in his mind and selected the memory modification option for Robin, Ino, and Sakura all at once. No questions. No opinions needed. He just did it.
From now on, every morning and every night you will pray to me like I'm your god. You will thank me for everything, ask for my blessings, and feel real devotion while doing it. Make it feel completely natural to you.
A faint blue light flashed across their eyes for less than a second. When it faded, all three girls' expressions softened at the same time. Robin's cheeks turned a soft pink. Ino's eyes grew warm and reverent. Sakura lowered her head slightly, looking peaceful and fulfilled.
Han felt it immediately — a warm, steady current of energy flowing into his chest. His soul got a little stronger. The feeling was subtle but unmistakable, like a gentle wave of power settling deeper inside him.
It's working… already.
But something was still missing. The growth felt a little slow. He needed more. Faster.
Just then, a quiet system prompt appeared only in his head — something he had completely forgotten about.
[Reminder: Bonding Tattoo Modifier function is available under complete control. You may apply custom modifiers to existing tattoos. Would you like to enhance prayer efficiency?]
Han's eyes widened for a split second before he caught himself and kept his face calm. Oh yeah… I almost forgot that existed.
He didn't hesitate. He opened the menu again and selected all three girls — Robin, Ino, and Sakura.
Apply modifier: Increased Prayer Efficiency. Make every prayer they offer give me noticeably more soul strength. Make them feel even more pleasure and devotion while praying.
A soft golden light flashed across the invisible tattoos on each girl's lower abdomen. All three of them shivered at the same time, letting out tiny, involuntary gasps of pleasure. Robin's knees wobbled for a moment. Ino bit her lip. Sakura's breathing grew heavier.
Han felt the difference right away. The warm current flowing into him grew stronger and steadier, like a river instead of a stream. His soul got noticeably stronger with every passing second.
Perfect. This is exactly what I needed.
He looked at his three girls, who were now standing there with soft, devoted smiles on their faces, and gave them a relaxed nod like nothing special had happened.
"Robin, take Ulti to the bathroom and help her clean up properly. She's going to have a big night tonight."
Robin bowed gracefully without hesitation. "Yes, Master. I will make sure she is fresh and ready for you."
Ulti's face lit up like the sun. "Big Brother wants me clean for tonight? I'll scrub every inch! I'll smell like flowers just for you!"
Then her expression flipped again. "And if these two try to help, I'll drown them in the tub!"
Robin gently took Ulti's arm and led her down the hallway toward the large master bathroom. The wild girl kept switching between giggling happily and growling threats the whole way, but Robin handled her with perfect calm.
Once they were out of sight, Han let out a long breath and turned toward his office. He still had one last thing to do before the day ended — finalize the official report about the hospital visit. He sat down at his desk, pulled out the papers, and started writing. The words came easily. He described the clean wards, the efficient staff, the impressive healing success rates, and the overall excellent condition of the facility. Every line was professional and detailed.
While his hand moved across the paper, he could feel the steady stream of power growing inside him. The new modifier was working even better than he hoped. Every second that passed, his soul got a little stronger. By the time he signed the final page and sealed the report, the warm current had become noticeably thicker. A quiet confidence settled in his chest.
His soul was now strong enough to bond another woman.
He leaned back in the big chair and closed his eyes for a moment. The mansion was quiet now except for the distant sound of water running in the bathroom and Ulti's occasional wild laughter mixed with Robin's soft, patient voice.
Soon, he thought. Soon my soul will be strong enough for Tsunade and Doll. Then the whole city.
He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling with a small, confident smile.
The age of worship had truly begun.
