Chapter 304: The White Tiger of Akatsuki

Konan, known as the White Tiger of the Akatsuki organization.

Although her strength did not match that of Nagato or Obito, she was confident that she didn't fear anyone else in the Akatsuki.

Her formidable power had forged a slightly proud personality.

So, even though she was indeed trying to seduce Shishou,

She would never admit it, no matter what. Yes, she would never admit it, even if it killed her.

"This is just your wishful thinking."

Hearing Konan's words that were contrary to her true feelings, Shishou smiled and said:

"If you really don't like me, there's no need to force yourself."

"Even if you don't do this, I will still help you increase your power."

Upon hearing this, Konan blinked in disbelief, looking at Shishou with surprise.

"Really?"

Although Konan didn't dislike Shishou and even had some admiration for his actions and ambitions,

Developing a romantic relationship with Shishou wasn't unacceptable to her.

Moreover, the moment she decided to seduce Shishou, she was already prepared for it.

But Konan felt that it might be too quick and somewhat opportunistic, causing her to feel a bit conflicted.

It wasn't about Shishou; it was about her feeling conflicted over her own opportunistic actions.

Now, hearing Shishou's words, she felt both moved and guilty.

She wondered if she was being too opportunistic towards Shishou.

Seeing Konan's surprised expression, Shishou said confidently:

"Of course not. I'm kidding."

Then Shishou cupped Konan's face again and kissed her.

In Shishou's view, Konan was destined to fall into his grasp.

Sooner or later didn't matter.

"Uh... kidding..."

Realizing she had been tricked again after being kissed, Konan felt a mixture of anger and helplessness.

She couldn't believe she had felt touched and guilty after being taken advantage of.

Konan wished she could slap herself for being so naive.

This shameless guy would never truly let her go.

Thinking this, Konan almost felt like crying out of frustration.

But she had chosen this path herself, so she had to walk it even if it meant tears.

With a fluttering sound, Konan's body turned into paper, flying in all directions, and reformed into a human shape in another place.

With one hand on her hip and the other rubbing her lips, Konan glared angrily at Shishou, saying:

"How long do you plan to kiss me?"

Although Shishou's affection was a strong affirmation of her charm,

He didn't need to kiss her for so long.

It was almost swollen!

Seeing the usually cold Konan angry, Shishou smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to Ryuchi Cave."

Konan saw Shishou's outstretched hands and felt slightly wary, "You better not play any tricks this time, or I'll bite you to death."

Shishou nodded, "No tricks this time."

Seeing this, Konan placed her hand in Shishou's once again.

In the next second,

The space quickly shifted, and Konan found herself under a massive tree.

Curiously, Konan looked around.

She and Shishou were standing on a large wooden lotus platform.

In front of the lotus platform were three small mats, with three figures sitting on them, the three Snake Princesses.

Behind the lotus platform was a massive tree with a diameter of over a hundred meters.

The trunk of the giant tree was carved into the image of Guanyin, and when Konan looked up, she met Guanyin's gaze, instilling a sense of awe.

"Step aside."

Seeing the three Snake Princesses preparing to bow, Shishou waved them off.

He had important matters to attend to with Konan and couldn't afford interruptions.

Then he looked at Konan and asked, "Do you want to increase your chakra capacity first or start learning Sage Jutsu?"

Helping Konan increase her chakra capacity and teaching her Sage Jutsu were things Shishou had promised her.

Konan frowned in thought and said, "Let's increase my chakra capacity first."

Learning Sage Jutsu wasn't something that could be achieved overnight, so Konan decided to increase her chakra capacity first.

The more chakra she had, the longer she could maintain her Dance of the Shikigami, ensuring her safety.

Hearing that Konan wanted to increase her chakra capacity first, Shishou took out a cluster of Chakra Bugs that had absorbed several Hashirama White Zetsu from his bug breeding space and attached them to his right hand.

He had prepared this before coming to the Land of Demons.

Then Shishou smiled at Konan and said:

"To increase your chakra capacity, there are two main ways."

"One is to increase your physical energy, and the other is to increase your spiritual energy."

"My method is the first one."

"Give me your hand."

Hearing Shishou asking for her hand again, Konan pursed her lips and stared at him.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Konan staring at him, Shishou was puzzled.

He had no ill intentions this time.

Konan stared at Shishou's right hand, which was covered with Chakra Bugs, and after a long silence, she asked:

"Did Miroku and Eri tell you something?"

Hearing this, Shishou grinned and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

Recalling Shishou's earlier domineering behavior, Konan bit her lip and said:

"Because I feel like after you sent them back, you seemed to have completely taken me for granted."

Konan, being smart and perceptive, could naturally sense Shishou's change in attitude in a short period.

Seeing that Konan had guessed something, Shishou sat on the lotus platform and laughed:

"Miroku and Eri said you've suffered a lot since childhood and that you're thin-skinned, so they told me to be more proactive and kind to you."

"What do you think? Aren't they very considerate?"

Konan had been spending a lot of time at Priestess Miroku's palace lately, so her feelings were easily detected by Miroku and Eri, who were like sisters.

That's why the two deliberately said they needed to rest, creating an opportunity for Konan.

They also advised Shishou to be proactive, not to make Konan too embarrassed.

Because Konan's life had been too harsh.

Hearing Shishou's words, Konan bit her lip, her face turning red.

Seeing Konan's reaction, Shishou retracted the Chakra Bugs, extended his right hand to her, and invited her to join him.

Konan hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked towards Shishou, placing her hand in his and sitting in his lap.

"I'm only seducing you to gain power... It's definitely not because I've fallen for you."

Konan declared, her face blushing furiously.

Seeing Konan's tsundere demeanor, Shishou found her increasingly adorable.

With Konan's proud nature, if she didn't like him, how could she possibly try to seduce him?

However, Shishou didn't point it out.

At this moment, actions spoke louder than words.

Lying on the lotus platform, Konan naturally saw the Guanyin statue above her.

Feeling the solemn gaze of Guanyin, Konan felt increasingly embarrassed and shy.

She waved her right hand, instantly creating a paper house to block Guanyin's gaze.

Under the Guanyin tree, inside the white paper house,

The White Tiger of Akatsuki cried softly.
