Chapter 110 » Kumogakure in Name Only! The Ninja World Teeters on the Brink of Change!

They ate in comfortable silence for fifteen minutes.

Samui, perched atop Yusuke, delicately used the chopsticks to savor the meal. She alternated between feeding herself and offering bites to him, establishing a rhythmic pattern.

His gentle caresses along her back elicited conflicting emotions — anger at her own enjoyment and involuntary shivers as his fingers traced her spine.

"I'm surprised you've never been in a relationship." Yusuke remarked between bites, "A beauty like you must have ways of deflecting admirers."

"I slit their throats." Samui retorted, her icy blue eyes meeting his. His amused smile, however, caused her to flush, "What's so funny?"

"Nothing. I believe you." He chuckled. His hand inched higher up her back, "Do you have a thing for necks?"

"Hmph!" She snorted indignantly, blushing deeper. He'd guessed correctly, but she'd never admit it — especially not when she was fighting to suppress a moan.

Once they finished eating, Yusuke set aside the bento box. With a swift upward motion of the hand still beneath her shirt, he effortlessly stripped her.

"Kya!" Samui gasped, suddenly naked, her breasts bouncing slightly. Catching his appreciative gaze, she flushed with a mix of anger and embarrassment, "But we just—"

"And I'm already hungry again."

With those words, Yusuke's lips found her neck while his hands explored her lower regions. Overwhelmed by sensation, she could only moan as waves of pleasure coursed through her body.

From that moment, Samui's resistance crumbled.

As the man beneath her consumed her with passion, she gasped and moaned, her breath hot and ragged.

[ Ding! Samui vows silently that she will have her revenge! If not today or tomorrow, she will one day drain you completely! Congratulations, host, you've gained 150,000 Villain Points! ]

'These points. They've been decreasing from the initial hundreds of thousands,' Yusuke mused.

Hours later, when they finally finished, he ordered their delayed lunch. Samui rested on the sofa, her body still quivering from the intense experience.

Yusuke joined her, sitting so that his lower back touched her soft belly. Though Samui closed her eyes in feigned anger, she couldn't help but blush when he gently stroked her hair.

"I know this is all new to you, but you'll adjust in time." Yusuke said softly, noticing her bury her face in the white sheet, "When we return to Kirigakure, I'll visit you daily to ensure you're... taken care of. How does that sound?"

"Hmph, who said I need that..." Samui snorted lightly, hiding her flushed face.

"Ah, you're adorable." Yusuke chuckled.

The recent changes in Kumogakure sent shockwaves throughout the entire ninja world!

In a mere seven days — from start to finish — the vast Land of Lightning had been reduced to a vassal state of Kirigakure. Who could have foreseen such a dramatic transformation in such a short time?

❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆

Sunagakure. In the Kazekage's office.

Rasa's brows were deeply furrowed as he examined the recent news from Kumo spread across his desk. Nearly every day, he received several messages about the war.

These letters chronicled nothing less than the Cloud Village's downfall.

"In just three days, all combat-capable ninja of the entire Hidden Cloud Village were completely slaughtered or tamed... This method... is unprecedented!" Rasa's expression was grim as he spoke.

Before him, a group of high-ranking Suna elders exchanged uneasy glances, not daring to speak.

❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆

Sunagakure wasn't the only village maintaining silence. Iwagakure, too, had yet to make any statement. Given their frequent conflicts with Kumo, Iwa naturally had the most insight into the Land of Lightning's strength.

Inside the Tsuchikage's office building, Ōnoki of Both Scales furrowed his brows as he contemplated the ninja world's current state. After a long pause, he let out a heavy sigh.

"This situation... If we don't act swiftly, I fear major changes are inevitable."

The group of elders seated in the conference hall nodded in solemn agreement.

The ninja world stood on the brink of its most significant transformation yet.

❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆

Konohagakure, the ninja village closest to Kumo.

At this moment, all of Konoha's high-ranking officials, including Fugaku Uchiha, had gathered in the conference room inside the Hokage's office building.

Jiraiya, who had recently returned from recuperating at Mount Myōboku, and Orochimaru were also in attendance. Upon learning of Tsunade's abduction by Yusuke, Jiraiya had been furious for a long time. In the end, however, he could only resign himself to helplessness.

Now, Kumogakure existed in name only.

The ninja world's transformation had begun! The remaining major villages needed to be on high alert and respond swiftly!

Otherwise, there was a fear that Kirigakure would gradually swallow up all the remaining ninja villages — a situation no one wanted to see.

"Since everyone's here, I'll get straight to the point." Hiruzen said, taking a deep breath. With utmost gravity, he continued, "Yusuke Kamizuki has occupied the Cloud Village. With all the Land of Lightning's resources at his disposal, he will undoubtedly develop the Mist Village's ninja strength at a frantic pace."

"In less than a year — no, probably in less than half a year — Kirigakure's military might will reach unprecedented levels. At that time, even our Konoha will be no match for them. Not even if we include your Uchiha clan, Fugaku."

He gazed intently at the Uchiha.

Fugaku had sent two clan members who'd awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan naturally, along with dozens more who'd received transplants. Now, they were all gone — not one had returned. The conclusion was inescapable: they had perished.

Hiruzen took a deep breath.

"So... what are your thoughts?" He asked, surveying the room.

After a moment, Danzō spoke up, "We need a ninja alliance. Konoha alone can't match Kirigakure anymore. We must join forces with Sunagakure and Iwagakure."

Hiruzen frowned, "Suna might be amenable. They sent three thousand ninja to infiltrate Kumo's forces, which Yusuke Kamizuki likely discovered. This defeat has tied the Sand Village to us. But Iwa remains silent. What should we do about them?"

A heavy silence fell over the room.

At last, Jiraiya broke it, "Surely the Tsuchikage isn't that short-sighted? If we don't unite now, our three villages will share Kumogakure's fate. With it as a warning, the Tsuchikage should agree to an alliance."

Orochimaru chimed in, "If we're forming an alliance, we must also win over the Land of Iron."

Hearing this, Hiruzen furrowed his brows.

"The Land of Iron... They've always been a neutral country."

"Neutral?" Orochimaru let out a hoarse laugh, shaking his head, "There's no such thing as absolute neutrality. They remain neutral simply because they haven't yet faced a life-or-death situation."

Hiruzen took a deep breath. "Alright."

At this moment, the entire ninja world was gradually descending into chaos because of Yusuke.

❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆

Meanwhile, as Suna, Iwa, and Konoha began discussing this matter, within the borders of the Land of Rain — a country that weeps year-round — several figures stood silently atop the tallest building in the central area, shrouded by an endless curtain of rain.

Crack—

A bolt of lightning split the tranquility of the night sky!

The orange-haired Deva Path Pain (RIP Yahiko) slowly turned his head. Their blood-red cloud-patterned robes revealed their identity: the Akatsuki!

This was the organization that had gone completely mad in their quest to collect the Tailed Beasts!

Present were Pain, Konan, Black Zetsu, and the striped-masked Obito Uchiha, with Sasori of the Red Sand and Kakuzu standing opposite them. At this point, the Akatsuki consisted of only these six members.

Kisame had long since joined the ANBU of Kirigakure. Hidan hadn't yet made a name for himself and remained unnoticed by the Akatsuki. Only Sasori of the Red Sand and Kakuzu had been recruited to join their ranks.

"There's only one reason for gathering everyone here. The rapid rise of Kirigakure has already affected our Akatsuki's future development and goals." Obito, having shed his disguise, spoke with eyes devoid of emotion beneath his mask, "We must accelerate our plan to capture the Tailed Beasts. The Akatsuki needs to take action now. We must complete this mission before the Mist Village becomes too powerful!"

Years ago, when he was in Kiri, he had crossed paths with Yusuke. However, at that time, Yusuke was nowhere near as formidable as he is now. In a mere two years, he had grown to a level that even Obito found troubling.

They had to execute the Eye of the Moon Plan ahead of schedule!

Otherwise... If they waited another two years, Obito feared the entire ninja world would fall under Yusuke Kamizuki's control. At that point, collecting the Tailed Beasts would become even more challenging!

"Leader, if we act now, won't we become everyone's target? After all, we're going after all the hidden villages." Kakuzu questioned, his eerily green eyes reflecting his doubt.

"Don't worry." Obito smiled grimly beneath his mask, "I've already made secret contact with Orochimaru, one of the Leaf's Legendary Sannin. He'll do his utmost to promote the formation of the Allied Shinobi Forces. We only need to feign cooperation with them when they go to war with the Hidden Mist Village. We'll exert minimal effort, then wait for them to fight to mutual destruction. That's when we'll step in and seize control!"

Hearing this, Kakuzu nodded silently.

The plan was cunning: let the Allied Shinobi Forces and Kirigakure battle until both sides are exhausted. Then, the Akatsuki would swoop in to claim victory.

It was indeed a shrewd strategy.

Furthermore, Konohagakure, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure were currently desperate for elite combat strength.

This desperation was the Akatsuki's ace in the hole — their source of confidence!

❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆

Kumogakure.

The Raikage's office — or rather, what was once the Raikage's office — had been completely transformed. It was now Yusuke's exclusive domain.

With the great war that had shaken the ninja world now over, there was a natural desire to relax. This period of calm would also facilitate Kiri's full control over Kumo.

During this time, Yusuke had taken up residence in the Cloud Village.

Samui, now his newly recruited maid, was constantly at his beck and call. Hungry? She prepared his meals with care. Tired? She massaged his shoulders. Stressed and in need of release? She was undressed in the blink of an eye.

Despite her heart screaming to poison his food or choke him with oversized mouthfuls, despite her attempts to harm him with her meager strength, despite her efforts to drain him completely — she tried everything on every battlefield.

At day's end, she invariably found herself in his arms, drifting off to sleep.

What a despicable, loathsome man!
