Hyuga Hiashi, a Truly Ruthless Man

Hokage Office

Hyuga Hiashi sat with a stern face, his Byakugan activated, silently staring out the window. Clearly, he was extremely dissatisfied with the Hokage.

"Hiashi, it's not that I won't help arrange the match. It's just that Tsunade is in the way. I can't bring myself to say it."

The Third Hokage looked at Hyuga Hiashi with a bitter smile.

"Hmph! You expect me to believe that? What man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Take you, for example. Wasn't Asuma born to your ninth concubine?"

Hyuga Hiashi said irritably.

"Uh, well... ahem. Let's talk about Xiao Yun instead." After an awkward smile, the Third Hokage continued, "You know the situation. I want you to send a few Genin from the Hyuga Clan to accompany Xiao Yun into the Forest of Death. What do you think?"

"Not happening!"

Without even thinking, Hyuga Hiashi flatly rejected the Third Hokage.

"Actually, I think this concerns Xiao Yun's life and death. If you use this as leverage to force Tsunade to agree to Xiao Yun taking concubines, I think she'll agree. Then wouldn't it only be a matter of time before your Hyuga Clan produced a genius with Wood Release and the Byakugan?"

The Third Hokage smiled meaningfully.

"This... let me think about it."

Hyuga Hiashi immediately fell silent.

"No rush. Take your time. Here, have one of the Huazi Cigarettes Xiao Yun made. Soft yet strong, and it tastes pretty good."

As he spoke, the Third Hokage took out a cigarette and handed it to Hyuga Hiashi. He even pulled out a lighter to light it for him. That weathered old face, normally as still as an ancient well, was actually full of fawning smiles.

Hyuga Hiashi took a puff, then stared at the cigarette in his hand in disbelief. Muttering to himself, he said, "Yoshi, this is good stuff. Soft yet strong, and it doesn't choke you. I never expected Xiao Yun to know how to make cigarettes."

After smoking two entire packs, Hyuga Hiashi finally stood up. Looking at the Third Hokage, he said, "I can send people from the Hyuga Clan to help Xiao Yun, but I have one condition."

"What condition? Go ahead and say it."

The Third Hokage was overjoyed.

"Before Xiao Yun enters the Forest of Death, he must sleep with a hundred Hyuga Clan women. Otherwise, no deal."

Hyuga Hiashi spoke with a serious expression.

Pfft!

The Third Hokage sprayed the tea in his mouth directly onto Hyuga Hiashi's face.

There were only five days left until they entered the Forest of Death. A hundred women meant twenty a day on average. Damn it, even a workhorse wouldn't dare go that hard!

Even if Hyuga Hiashi wanted to improve the Hyuga Clan's bloodline, he couldn't play it like this. Was he trying to wear Xiao Yun to death?

"Brother Hyuga, there can't be more than thirty unmarried women in your Hyuga Clan, right?"

The Third Hokage looked at Hyuga Hiashi in confusion.

"Hmph! Can married women not have children? For the development of the Hyuga Clan, we must devote everything. I've even included my own concubines. The wives of other men should volunteer as well; it is their bounden duty!"

"As long as they all carry Xiao Yun's children, I refuse to believe we won't produce a genius. Stockpile grain and bide your time. As long as the Hyuga Clan keeps its head down, one day we'll rule the Ninja World!"

"Gahaha!"

"Hehehe!"

"Ohohoho!"

Hyuga Hiashi's eyes brimmed with madness. Happily, he lit ten Huazi Cigarettes in one go, and his laughter gradually became crazed.

A ruthless man! An absolutely ruthless man! Ruthless enough to cuckold himself!

And he wanted Xiao Yun to cuckold every man in the Hyuga Clan.

"I, Hiruzen Sarutobi, have never admired anyone in my life. Brother Hyuga, you are the first man who has earned my complete admiration. I, Hiruzen Sarutobi, hereby name you Konoha's number one ruthless man!"

The Third Hokage silently raised a thumbs-up.

Oh my god!

Xiao Yun, who had been placed behind a folding screen by the Third Hokage to eavesdrop, let out a terrified scream and accidentally knocked the screen over.

His eyes were full of fear as he looked at Hyuga Hiashi. This was the first time Xiao Yun had ever felt fear because of women.

If he agreed to that condition, only five words awaited him: the ox dies, the field remains!

"Third Hokage, I'll enter the Forest of Death alone. There's no need to trouble the Hyuga Clan."

With that, Xiao Yun ran for the door as if he were flying.

"Stop!"

The Third Hokage roared, stopping Xiao Yun. Then he turned his gaze back to Hyuga Hiashi and said, "Hiashi, over a hundred women... even if Xiao Yun had a one hundred percent success rate, it would still take over a hundred times to get them all pregnant. He'll be entering the Forest of Death soon. Don't make his legs so weak he can't even stand. How about paying in installments?"

Installments?

Xiao Yun's mouth twitched. This could be paid in installments too?

"You mean pick a few women first, then slowly settle the rest of the debt?"

"I mean, send a few beautiful women over first so they can cultivate their relationship with Xiao Yun. Don't jump straight into that, either. After all, we're not donkeys."

"Hmm, well... fine! You have a point. But let me make this clear: one month at most. If Xiao Yun still doesn't get down to business by then, don't blame me for using force."

"Wakarimashita."

Konoha's two great leaders thus reached an agreement.

No matter how Xiao Yun protested, he received only four words in return: protest denied!

Of course, Xiao Yun wasn't afraid of being exhausted to death. He was afraid of putting green hats on every man in the Hyuga Clan. That was simply too immoral.

After all, the education he had received since childhood did not support doing such things. Deep down, he rejected it. But if the Hyuga Clan forced him when the time came... ahem... he would probably rather die than submit, right?

Would he?

Or wouldn't he?

Xiao Yun did not dare tell Tsunade about this. If he did, she would probably beat him to death.

Over the past two days, Xiao Yun had been carrying two sacks of rice up Mount Kirr in order to open the Second Gate as soon as possible.

Every time he came down, it felt as though his bones were about to fall apart. Several times, he vaguely sensed a breakthrough coming, but the feeling vanished in an instant, leaving Xiao Yun deeply frustrated.

"Brother Yun, are you tired? Take a break. I'll massage your shoulders."

Hyuga Yumi gently handed him a cup of water, then used the Gentle Fist to massage Xiao Yun.

Her technique was countless times better than the number eight masseuse in Haille City. Fortunately, Hyuga Yumi's Gentle Fist, combined with the Byakugan's incomparably precise Chakra circulation, allowed Xiao Yun to recover so quickly.

Hyuga Hiashi had first sent over the most beautiful woman in the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Yumi, to build up some feelings with Xiao Yun.

Hinata Hyuga had been sent along with her.

"Um, Brother Xiao Yun, I made these dumplings. Please try them."

A childish voice sounded out. Blushing furiously, the girl handed the dumplings in her hands to Xiao Yun—Hinata Hyuga.

Hyuga Hiashi really was an animal. He had even sent over such a young girl.

But he was a beast; I, Xiao Yun, am not. Besides, Hinata Hyuga would be my great-nephew's wife in the future. She'd have to call me uncle someday.

"Hinata, go play with Naruto!"

Xiao Yun looked at Hinata kindly.

"Th-That's okay?"

Hinata stared at Xiao Yun in disbelief. Her little face turned even redder, like a ripe apple.

"Why wouldn't it be? Go on. If that old animal Hiashi asks, I'll take responsibility. Go play with Naruto."

Xiao Yun said.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Yun. You're so nice."

With that, Hinata happily ran toward Naruto's training grounds.

"Hehe, Brother Yun, I've noticed something."

Hyuga Yumi gave a mysterious smile.

"What?"

Xiao Yun frowned and looked at Hyuga Yumi in confusion.

"Do you like the mature type? Wait for me!"

Hyuga Yumi smiled mysteriously, then dashed into the bushes. When she emerged again, she had changed out of the Hyuga Clan's girlish attire and into a black, form-fitting secretary outfit.

It was so tight that her top looked ready to burst apart.

Black stockings, black high heels, black glasses—she had it all.

She was the very picture of a mature woman, yet she still carried the charm of a young girl. It was downright lethal.

Pfft!

Xiao Yun spat out a mouthful of blood.

A seductress.

An absolute seductress!

Hyuga Yumi smiled confidently. With looks like mine, there's no way you won't take the bait!

Grandfather, don't worry. I'll definitely complete the task you gave me. The Hyuga Clan will be protected by me, Hyuga Yumi.

"You little slut, go fool around in your Hyuga Clan if you want to fool around! Why are you trying to seduce my child's father?"

At that moment, an angry roar rang out.

Tsunade?

Xiao Yun jolted in fright and leaped to his feet.

"Tsunade, why are you here?"

Xiao Yun said guiltily.

"Can't I come?"

Tsunade snapped.

"Since Lady Tsunade is here, I'll head back! Brother Yun, I'll come see you again tomorrow. Oh, right, I have several outfits at home that you'll like. I'll wear them for you later. Hehehe!"

Her silver-bell laughter gradually faded into the distance, leaving behind a Xiao Yun on the verge of tears.

"If I said she came to help me train, would you believe me?"

Xiao Yun wore a miserable expression as he hurriedly wiped the trace of blood from the corner of his mouth.

"I believe your ass."

Tsunade walked up and threw a punch...
