"Lord Kazekage, I wonder what you're so excited about. Could you tell me?"

A cold, angry female voice rang out behind Yunqing.

Hearing that voice, Yunqing froze at once and turned around as stiffly as a machine.

Pakura stood there with frost on her face, while the young lady knelt beside her with her head lowered.

"Haha, isn't that Pakura? You're up early. Why did you come to work so early today?"

Yunqing laughed awkwardly.

Many people knew about him seeking out young ladies, but no one had ever interfered—or rather, no one had ever openly brought it up.

"Early? It's already noon."

Pakura smiled teasingly.

When Yunqing had not appeared in the Kazekage Building that early morning, and the Anbu ninjas had failed to return with a report for so long, the important figures in the building had gone into a frenzy.

If the Kazekage were attacked within Sunagakure, it would be the greatest joke in the world.

Afterward, the elders remained behind to guard the Kazekage Building and sent people to find Sāmon and Chiyo, while Pakura led a squad of the most elite ninjas straight here.

If Yunqing went downstairs now, he would find a group of masked ninjas controlling the entire "little establishment."

The women and young ladies all watched the masked ninjas in terror.

"Noon?"

Yunqing frowned and muttered to himself.

"How stingy. She still tricked me in the end."

"Lord Kazekage, did you hear what I said? The entire Kazekage Building, the entire Sunagakure ninja system, has been turned upside down because you disappeared for half a day."

Fire burned in Pakura's eyes. If she had not known she was no match for Yunqing, she would have wanted to hang him up and whip him.

"I heard you. Don't shout and make a fuss. It doesn't suit your poise." Yunqing gave Pakura an indifferent glance.

The kingly might of the Dragon Empress Irene, which had already perfectly fused with him, and the tyrannical might of Heavenly Palace King Hua Ye—Grandpa Hua—which had only just begun to fuse with him, pressed down on Pakura together.

"And follow behind me. Watch how I handle this."

Seeing Pakura trembling all over, just short of dropping to her knees, Yunqing frowned and withdrew his aura.

Too strong. I can't control it for the moment.

A giant wave surged through Yunqing's heart.

Having come to the world of the Hokage many years ago, he had slaughtered enemies on battlefields and occupied a position of power. He was no longer the youth he had once been.

Even so, he still could not control these two templates.

"Yes, Lord Kazekage."

Pakura answered respectfully.

I was too presumptuous. No matter how approachable Lord Kazekage may be, he is still the leader of Sunagakure, one of the Five Kage whose might shakes the Ninja World.

Pakura smiled bitterly. This time, she finally understood Yunqing's true weight.

Pakura, who considered herself a powerful Jonin, had only now realized that in Yunqing's eyes, she was no different from a joke.

Within Sunagakure, things appeared calm on the surface. Saying that storms were brewing beneath would be an exaggeration, but undercurrents were certainly stirring.

Groups of forces moved nervously, while squads of ninjas rushed about throughout Sunagakure.

Below the little establishment, Sunagakure's Anbu were restraining the women and young ladies one by one.

Yunqing walked downstairs without saying anything or giving any orders, passing directly by those Sunagakure Anbu.

The instant Yunqing stepped out of the little establishment, all those Anbu vanished. Their Body Flicker Techniques were each more skillful than the last.

Pakura, who followed Yunqing downstairs, witnessed a scene that shattered her worldview.

The turmoil she had expected never came. As Yunqing headed toward the Kazekage Building, all the hidden undercurrents vanished.

Not a single ninja even appeared along Yunqing's path.

Yunqing walked all the way into his office, and throughout the entire journey, not a single undercurrent surged forth. Everything settled down.

"Little Pakura, how was it? Did you learn something this time?"

Pakura followed Yunqing into the Kazekage's Office and heard this teasing remark.

Chiyo looked at Pakura with a cheerful smile, unable to hide the amusement in her eyes.

"Elder Chiyo, you jest."

Pakura forced a smile. She was not foolish; by now, she understood that Chiyo and the others were tempering her.

"I'm not joking, Little Pakura. You must seize this opportunity."

Chiyo looked at Pakura meaningfully. As an old woman, she had her own interests.

As a woman, she deeply disliked Yunqing's long-term support of the sex industry, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Unlike the conversation between the two women over there, Sāmon's focus was clearly elsewhere. He had noticed that Yunqing had grown stronger again.

"Seriously, sometimes I really wonder if you're the Sage of Six Paths' biological son. Otherwise, how could your strength grow so fast?"

As the former Second Kazekage, even if he had been the weakest of the Kage, Sāmon could not be called weak. Especially after years of research, he possessed a unique intuition of his own.

"Hehe, you're joking. As for my strength, it's only 'evolved' a little."

What could Yunqing say? He could only make something up.

He couldn't exactly say that the system had given him his strength.

Thinking of Grandpa Hua, whom he had just fused with, Yunqing felt a wave of exhilaration.

Grandpa Hua's strength was quite formidable. As long as Yunqing could absorb it perfectly, he would no longer have to fear encountering any powerful female characters next time.

One could look down on Grandpa Hua's personality and intelligence, but not his strength.

After being exiled to the frontier for tens of thousands of years, he had returned and still dared to bring several people to threaten Liang Bing. He could even speak face-to-face with Carl. That required strength to back it up.

As an Ancient Evil God, Grandpa Hua fully deserved his reputation.

As a man who could shatter a Greatsword at will and shut down the Male Core whenever he pleased, Grandpa Hua was already final-boss material.

Of course, what excited Yunqing most was still the matter of lifespan.

He, Yunqing, could now announce to everyone: Come on, let's see who could outlast whom.

As long as you couldn't kill me, I dared to drag things out with you forever.

Seeing that Yunqing was making things up, Sāmon shook his head and stopped pressing him. He understood Yunqing's character and conduct. Something had definitely happened this time that Yunqing could not resolve.

And if even Yunqing's strength could not solve it, then adding Sāmon and Chiyo still would not be enough.

No matter how strong Yunqing was now, back then, Sāmon and Chiyo together had been no match for him.

"Forget it, forget it. Tell me if you want; if not, then don't.

The usual rules. Give me some of your blood for research.

When we get back, cooperate with us as well. Spread your abilities as soon as possible so we can strengthen our foundation."

Sāmon shook his head, took out a test tube, and handed it to Yunqing as he spoke casually.

When it came to one of their own, there was nothing to worry about.

Yunqing nodded, took the test tube, and began drawing blood.

He had no intention of hiding anything, nor was there anything to hide—especially after fusing with Grandpa Hua.

The Divine River Body was, after all, human. There was not much difference.

Sāmon also did not subscribe to the idea that those of a different kind must harbor different intentions.

He only cared about what benefits that blood could bring him.
