Pregnancy Scandal (Part 1)

For his unspeakable purposes, Zhang Miao severely framed Killer B, and the effects were significant. After that, he obtained everything he wanted.

He could enjoy bathing with the beautiful women daily while smoothly collecting their ninja fragments, achieving two goals simultaneously.

But Killer B had it tough. After being labeled a "peeping Tom," he was despised not only by the villagers of Kumogakure but even by his disciple Karui, who occasionally cast him a disdainful glance during training. This made Killer B feel highly aggrieved.

I'm so wrong!

His reputation was tarnished, he was despised by the villagers, and the Fourth Raikage avoided him. Whenever he thought of these things, Killer B couldn't help but turn his head furiously toward the dark-skinned girl lying under the sunshade in the distance and begin his rap.

"Yo... boy, don't—you disguise, I've long since—seen through your lies, quickly change to—your true guise, and give me back—the truth!"

Hearing Killer B's rap, the dark-skinned girl under the sunshade stretched lazily, then raised her slender hand to the armrest of the lounge chair and slowly sat up.

As she rose, she brushed her red hair aside and raised an eyebrow at Killer B.

"Hey, B, you still have the mood to rap at a time like this? I really admire you. And by the way, I'm a girl, please call me Karui!"

Killer B: "..."

Damn, you're good at acting!

It turned out that this dark-skinned girl was none other than Zhang Miao using the Transformation Jutsu!

Now possessing the Six Paths body, Zhang Miao's Transformation Jutsu was flawless. If he wished, he could maintain the transformation even while sleeping, and unless he chose to release it, he wouldn't revert to his original form even if struck.

Because of this, Killer B had no way to deal with him and could only try to persuade Zhang Miao with words, hoping to correct his behavior.

Unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain because Zhang Miao had already decided to live in Kumogakure for about two years as "Kakui" to complete his ninja fragment collection.

For Zhang Miao, collecting ninja and tailed beast fragments wasn't tricky. At his current rate, collecting them all would take, at most, half a year. The real challenge was the Third Raikage, A!

The Third Raikage was already dead, making his fragments a rare commodity. The only way to obtain his fragments was through his son, the Fourth Raikage, via the lottery.

Zhang Miao had tried it before: 100 Fourth Raikage fragments could yield 37 Third Raikage fragments.

And since the Third Raikage was a seven-star shadow-level ninja, 1600 fragments were needed to recruit him, meaning collecting all his fragments would take about a year and three months.

Given his current abilities, recruiting the Third Raikage wouldn't significantly enhance his power. But Zhang Miao decided to recruit him to ensure a steady supply of ordinary ninja fragments!

"As long as the Third Raikage is around, even if I leave, Kumogakure's Temple of the Underworld won't just be a decoration and can continuously provide me with ninja fragments!"

Zhang Miao had already established Temples of the Underworld in Konoha, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure. These three temples gave him tens of thousands of ninja fragments every month.

Thanks to these temples, Zhang Miao's system space now held over a million ordinary ninja fragments.

But that wasn't enough to satisfy Zhang Miao, as he knew his future need for ninja fragments would only grow. Collecting more now would prepare him for the future!

First, he planned to collect fragments of Kumogakure's elite ninjas and tailed beasts, establish the Temple of the Underworld, and recruit the Third Raikage to ensure a stable source of ordinary ninja fragments. This was Zhang Miao's "Two-Year Plan" for Kumogakure!

To achieve this plan, Zhang Miao wouldn't be swayed by Killer B.'s few words. After threatening him, Zhang Miao lay back in his lounge chair and grinned.

"Heh, as long as you have the heart for it, anywhere can be like the Maldives. Karui, go buy me a cold drink and then practice the sword techniques I taught you yesterday!"

"Yes, Master Kakui!"

Upon hearing Zhang Miao's command, Karui immediately fetched a cold drink, drew her sword, and began practicing before him.

Watching Karui diligently practice her sword skills, Zhang Miao sipped his drink and nodded in approval.

"Mm, not bad, not bad. You're getting there. Keep it up!"

"Yes!"

During this time, Karui followed Zhang Miao to learn the Hatake-style sword techniques. Within half a year, she had surpassed Omoi, making her more respectful and obedient to Zhang Miao.

Killer B also noticed Karui's progress, so he tacitly approved of her calling Zhang Miao "master" and even instructed Omoi to join Karui in learning from Zhang Miao.

Zhang Miao wasn't stingy with his knowledge, especially since teaching Karui and Omoi allowed him to collect their ninja fragments. This outcome was perfect for him.

As he taught Karui and Omoi, Zhang Miao's reputation spread throughout Kumogakure. Many villagers knew there was a skilled swordswoman living with Killer B.

Kumogakure was a martial-centric village with a strong martial culture. Many came to seek Zhang Miao's guidance, and to his surprise, many young men even sent him love letters.

This left him feeling helpless.

"Damn, does collecting ninja fragments mean I have to become a cross-dressing master? Fine, fine, if it's for becoming a true god, I'll endure. Just hope this situation calms down soon!"

Zhang Miao's wish was quickly granted. Before long, no one in Kumogakure sent him love letters anymore, not because of his cold demeanor but because his belly began to swell.

If he were an obese person, no one would notice a slightly larger belly. But, transformed into a slender girl, Zhang Miao had a noticeably bulging belly.

Seeing Zhang Miao's belly swell like a small watermelon, anyone with a functioning brain wouldn't think it was just fat. The only conclusion was—

He was pregnant!
