Ebizo: No Day, No Night, Wuwu~ I'm Already Pure and Ascetic

The Land of Wind has always appeared somewhat mysterious and low-key. Located in a remote region of the continent and surrounded by vast deserts, it maintains relatively little contact with the outside world.

(Qingwu: A backwater place, what's there to be interested in? Though, the girls in the Land of Wind seem quite pretty~)

Consequently, stories about Sunagakure are not widely known, and its very existence is rarely mentioned. The general impression is that it's a poor place filled with nothing but sand; what is there to talk about...

However, something eye-catching has recently occurred in the Land of Wind. Granny Chiyo has miraculously returned to the appearance of her youth! This miraculous change has left people full of curiosity and anticipation regarding her.

"Someone, come here."

Even more surprising is that Granny Chiyo seems to have new plans—she wants to find a woman for her younger brother, Ebizo, and hopes they can have a child to continue the family bloodline. Sunagakure is in an uproar.

"That Elder Ebizo is truly astonishing!"

"Despite his advanced age, his heart remains full of vitality and passion. Good heavens, he's even thinking about starting a harem~"

People discussed it one after another: "This old fellow really has a young heart in an old body!"

Someone said leisurely: "To be this old and still so indecent! I wonder if his stamina can keep up..."

However, someone retorted: "You can't call him indecent; he was like this when he was young. He only restrained himself because his health declined with age."

Another nodded as if it were a serious matter: "I've heard the older generation say the same. It seems that now that Lord Ebizo has regained his youthful state, his lecherous heart is acting up again."

"Heh heh~ I say, he's fought battles his whole life, can't he enjoy himself now..." another person offered a different opinion.

"Exactly. Elder Ebizo is so old, who knows when he might kick the bucket? He has to leave an heir behind..." a ninja in the crowd chimed in.

Another ninja followed up: "Yeah, yeah. Ever since that genius Sasori went missing, the Akasuna lineage has had no successor..."

At this moment, someone raised a question: "Does that mean as long as a child is born, they will receive the protection of two Kage-level powerhouses, and the child might even inherit the legacy of the Akasuna clan and both Kage-level experts?!"

Hearing this, many people wore expressions of sudden realization, and one of them shouted excitedly: "Holy crap~ Why didn't I think of that?!"

However, just as the crowd was buzzing with discussion, someone suddenly shouted: "Hey, hey, hey~ where are you going?"

Everyone immediately turned their gaze over.

They saw the person who had just been speaking sprinting into the distance, shouting as he ran: "I'm going to get my sister to sign up! If this works out, won't I, the brother-in-law, rise to the top in one step!"

Seeing this, the others snapped out of it and hurriedly followed, muttering: "Right, right, I have a daughter (sister, cousin, aunt...), let's go together, wait for me..."

Just like that, the originally serious and tense atmosphere was shattered by this sudden turn of events, and everyone's attention shifted from speculation about Sasori to how to climb the social ladder.

A farce had begun...

One day later.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Ebizo looked at the hundred or so beauties lined up before him, covering all ages and styles. There were even little girls only a few years old; after realizing this, he almost burst into tears.

(Qingwu: Why do I feel like these are tears of excitement, and he's just one step away from shouting that they're his own sisters...)

He said to his sister, Chiyo: "Sister, I am eighty years old. You want me to ruin these young girls, and I must leave behind an heir? I'm not a stud horse."

He then complained: "With so many people, Sister, are you afraid I won't die fast enough? Even if I worked myself to death, I couldn't possibly sleep with them all."

Oh my~ holy crap, this old fellow is actually tempted.

Has he been lonely for too long?! Come to think of it, at eighty, it's long past the age where one would shed tears at the sight of the moon.

Yeah, he's truly thirsty~

Seeing the little girl in the line, Ebizo couldn't help but cry out: "Why are there such young girls? People who don't know will think I'm a pervert. How will I ever face anyone again? Wuwuwu~"

"My late-life reputation is ruined~ ruined~"

"Sister has doomed me."

Granny Chiyo heard this and gave him a deep look. "Little brother, I underestimated you. You only mention the young ones."

"You didn't mention a single word about the dozens of others. You're afraid of being tired to death, yet your ambition is quite large... you're quite a player..."

"Heh heh~ No... no... Sister, I didn't..."

Ebizo laughed sheepishly, realizing he had seemingly exposed his own guilt, but he still insisted on explaining: "It's all that bastard Hyuga's medicine; otherwise, I wouldn't be this ex-cited. Yes, that's right, it's all Hyuga's fault..."

But Ebizo thought about the morning wood he had today—that long-lost excitement—and felt a sense of tears welling up in his eyes.

Looking at the beauties at the door.

His heart felt a wave of heat.

This Hyuga might be a bastard, but the medicine is quite good.

Cough, cough, cough~ For the sake of the village's future.

I must carefully critique and research... and experience it personally.

Perhaps there are some hidden side effects.

I'll stock up on three thousand... no, make it fifty million ryo's worth.

Yes, yes, that should be about right.

"Heh, enough, I know exactly what you're thinking."

At this moment, his sister, Elder Chiyo, rolled her eyes at him and explained, "What kind of beautiful dream are you having? I only asked you to see if there were any women who caught your eye. The rest are just playmates, maids, wet nurses, and tutors for the future children."

"Since you're so interested, Sister will satisfy you. Aside from a few young girls, you can have the rest. If I don't hear ten pieces of good news in a month, you'd better watch yourself."

"I have plenty of stimulants for ninja beasts back at my place; I'll be sure to help you out when the time comes..."

Ebizo's face turned truly dark. "What do you mean, ten pieces of good news?! Sister Chiyo, are you trying to kill me?"

"And what's this about secret drugs for increasing ninja beast production? Is that something a real sister would say?! You're joking, right?!"

Elder Chiyo tilted her head and said expressionlessly, "What do you think? Do I look like I'm joking?"

However, seeing the serious look on Elder Chiyo's face, Ebizo knew she was for real and couldn't help but shiver.

Being fed secret beast drugs by Sister Chiyo? By then, he might lose all consciousness. Would he really turn into a stud horse?!!

At the thought of this outcome, Ebizo felt his scalp tingle. It was only a month; he could grit his teeth and get through it. "To avoid becoming a stud, I have no choice but to go all out."

"I'll just have to work overtime." In truth, he wasn't actually opposed to it; he was even a bit eager to try.

Men, after all, are always exceptionally confident in their own abilities.

I am super strong.

But he couldn't show that he was particularly happy about it.

He had to be reserved; did Ebizo not have a reputation to maintain?

Following this, Ebizo chose the women with the tragic air of a warrior setting off on a journey from which he would never return, and then he led them away.

(Qingwu: Damn, what a hypocrite. If you were really scared, you'd refuse. You clearly want to play for a month, shameless...)

Elder Chiyo smiled. "Little Zang, good luck."

In fact, for Elder Chiyo, making this decision was no easy task. She couldn't do it before because when her son and daughter-in-law met their end, she and Ebizo were already over fifty. She had turned her focus to raising Sasori instead. Unexpectedly, Sasori had also gone missing.

After that, it wasn't just that her body could no longer bear children; even if she could, her aged and frail body and waning energy were insufficient to support the upbringing and protection of children.

After all, at their age, every battle for them was a drain on their remaining lifespan; they couldn't afford to act recklessly.

One had to realize that many in the village might not want them to have heirs, or might not want those heirs to grow up.

Thus, she had extinguished that desire.

Now, with the Youth-Preserving Pill, they had regained their youth.

Although it couldn't extend their lifespan, it provided them with enough vitality to act freely and fight within their limited time.

This period was enough for them to raise heirs and leave behind sufficient protection and contingencies for the children.

Elder Chiyo muttered to herself, "Sasori, my Sasori, where are you? Grandma misses you~"

"Ebizo, don't blame your sister. For the sake of the Akasuna legacy, you have to suffer a little. Or would you rather I go find another man?"

"I'm doing this for your own good. Yes, that's it."

Despite this, she remained firm in her belief that for the sake of the family's future, she had to make this attempt. As for whether she herself was willing to find another man, that was a different matter entirely. After all, with Sasori still missing, a glimmer of hope remained in her heart.

In this era of rising winds and surging clouds, the story of the Land of Wind had only just begun. Who knew what the future would hold?

Perhaps Elder Chiyo's decision would change the fate of the entire Land of Wind.

Afterword:

Ebizo, the old man, saw his dry wood bloom. After a month of diligent labor, fifteen children were born—seven boys and eight girls—and the Akasuna lineage flourished.

From then on, he attained enlightenment, converted to Buddhism, and spent his days in front of a green lamp, praying for his children and his sister.

Ebizo: Do you know how I got through that month? From morning to night, no day, no night... sob... I was practically smoking, terrified that if I were late, my sister would treat me like a stud horse.

At first, it was great.

Couldn't finish sleeping, absolutely couldn't finish.

It was a man's paradise.

Later.

Having children isn't just about sleeping together.

There was no other way.

Start over.

Too many, the movements were constantly repeated.

I went numb.

Now.

No woman can shake my state of mind.

I have already reached the supreme realm of the Ninja World.

Pure of heart and devoid of desire.

(Qingwu: Hahaha~ The old guy has been starving for so many years, and suddenly he's served a full-course banquet; he must be stuffed...)

Subsequently, the romantic affairs of Ebizo spread throughout the Ninja World.

Countless men regarded him as a role model.

A fighting cock among men.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Ōnoki were so envious their teeth ached; damn it, why don't I have a sister like that~

On the surface, however, they still had to curse Ebizo.

An old man lacking in dignity.
