Chapter 416

The Tsuchigumo Mayu took out the desserts it had made by hand from the basket and humbly placed them on the table.

Looking at her respectful demeanor.

The Akito shook his head.

"Ms. Cocoon, although I am now the Emperor of the Pan-Alliance of the Land of Rain, it does not mean that I am completely above everyone else."

"I am the wielder of power and authority, but going back to the source, I am also the reformer of the ninja world and the protector of its people..."

"While a certain degree of authority is necessary, at our core... we are still human beings with feelings..."

The Akito's words reassured Jian.

It made her feel much less reserved.

The change in his status and position has led him to reduce her disturbances in recent years.

The Tsuchigumo Mayu deliberately kept its distance, avoiding causing trouble for the Akito.

At this moment, in order to make Ying stronger, Akito decides... to shorten this distance.

I picked up a piece of dessert and swallowed it.

After tasting it for a moment, Akito nodded. "It tastes like home..."

Cocoon: "Huh?"

"I've been an orphan since I was little, and the person I'm closest to is my master, Shinnō..."

The Akito looked at the desserts on the table.

"Therefore, I do not know the warmth of women... to be precise, mothers, sisters, even wives and daughters..."

The Akito looked at the cocoon.

"I hope Ms. Jian understands that, lacking experience in this area, I may have been inconsiderate in my dealings with Ying and other women..."

"Why..."

The cocoon nodded slightly.

She pondered those words, and then realized...

Your Majesty is just an ordinary person like everyone else, with worries and all human emotions.

For a moment, Jian felt that even if he became emperor, the young man before her was still the same person she had known in the past...

That is to say...

Never forget our original aspiration.

"By the way, Ms. Cocoon, your style today looks much younger, less old-fashioned..."

Akito gazed at the Tsuchigumo Mayu of today with an appreciative eye.

She changed into a white outfit.

In addition, she has a beautiful appearance.

Even if she has a mature demeanor, she still gives the impression of being between 25 and 30 years old.

It fully highlights the mature and beautiful charm of women.

"Yeah."

The cocoon gently brushed against the hair beside her ear.

With her blond hair, it's even harder to guess her exact age.

There's a kind of vague... beauty.

Not to mention.

She also possesses the attributes of a married woman or young wife.

This sense of maturity is something that young girls can't match.

"I must thank Your Majesty for this gift..."

Cocoon immediately thanked her.

Her skin was fair and smooth, like mutton fat jade, making others envious.

Like milk, like silk.

Smooth and glossy...

Paired with a light lipstick, it creates a refined beauty.

"..."

The Akito then tilted his head and looked around for a moment.

Then he took out a training crystal.

Under the exquisite and powerful current processing.

And so, a pair of earrings appeared.

"I think... this one suits you better."

The Akito placed the hand-rubbed crystal pendant in front of the cocoon.

The armor of the Land of Snow has undergone countless iterations.

The secrets of artificial crystals have now been revealed.

Mass production of low-end armor is no longer a problem.

Therefore, these crystals are not actually very valuable.

Once mass production begins, costs can be reduced significantly.

Looking at the beautiful earrings, Cocoon thought to herself, "Such a precious gift is truly..."

"Please accept this. Over the years, Ying has done a lot for me. Thanks to you, I have raised such an outstanding daughter... who is also my disciple... Consider this my gratitude."

Unable to refuse the Akito's warm hospitality.

The Tsuchigumo Mayu took the earring and put it on.

Her originally elegant demeanor suddenly gained a touch of luxury and nobility.

At first glance, she looks like a wealthy lady or a company executive.

A pair of earrings completely elevated her overall look.

Looking at herself in the mirror, the Tsuchigumo Mayu was utterly astonished.

She stared blankly for a long time before she came to her senses and realized her rudeness.

The Akito waved his hand, indicating that there was no problem.

Then, he said to Tsuchigumo Mayu, "Koko, go and see Hotaru's training. With her mother's encouragement, Hotaru will definitely be able to persevere. That's the meaning of family..."

After saying this, the Akito turned away and remained silent.

Cocoon bowed slightly and agreed.

Before leaving, he thought of what Akito had said before about his orphan background.

She gazed at that retreating figure, feeling utterly alone.

A pang of sadness flashed through my mind.

Just as countless people of the Land of Rain had thought.

Everyone is happy.

And what about our Emperor?

Silently retreating, the Tsuchigumo Mayu knew that His Majesty needed to be alone at this time.

So... I'll bother you another day.

With that thought in mind, the Tsuchigumo Mayu left the dwelling.

In the shadows.

Rin Nohara watched all of this, observing Amakawa Akito's PUA tactics.

Without a doubt.

The same applies to the Will of Fire.

Hokage uses psychological manipulation techniques to control the entire village, brainwashing them, morally blackmailing them, and so on.

Is Amakawa Akito the same?

No, there are still differences.

Because the people of the Land of Rain truly live in peace and prosperity, and have completely realized a paradise on earth in this country.

This is what sets them apart from the Five Great Nations that only talk a good game.

Over the next few days.

The Tsuchigumo Mayu visited several more times.

She subtly inquired about the marriage prospects of the Akito.

This is also the hope in the hearts of all the people of the Land of Rain.

The Akito naturally brushed it off with the excuse that "the great cause is not yet accomplished, and we dare not consider it."

Then, they used PUA techniques.

He planted his increasingly lonely image in the heart of the Tsuchigumo Mayu, hoping to stir up her inner emotions...

At the same time.

Several female ninjas also entered the residence of the Akito one after another.

Asuka, Pakura, Guren, Tayuya...

Every time Ying sees this, her blood pressure... oh no, her Dark Chakra surges.

"Ying, you must serve His Majesty well."

That evening.

The day before Crown Prince Naruto and his companions arrived at the Tenchi Bridge.

The Tsuchigumo Mayu sat at home and spoke to her daughter.

"This is no longer a matter of repaying a debt. If we cannot help His Majesty achieve his great cause, then... His Majesty's happiness will never come..."

A world where everyone is happy.

But an unhappy world was born for His Majesty.

How tragic and lamentable this is!

I noticed my mother's eyes were a little red.

Ying nodded vigorously. "Yes, Mom, don't worry, I will definitely help Master wipe out all the enemies!"

Then, Ying asked the question that had been lingering in her mind for the past few days.

"By the way, Mom, where did you get these earrings from?"

337. Blackened Ying

"This...?"

A smile appeared on the face of the Tsuchigumo Mayu.

"It was a gift from His Majesty, as a token of my gratitude..."

Ying didn't hear what was said after that.

In an instant.

Her eyesight has deteriorated.
