Setsuna

Uchiha Zhuang, intrigued by the little girl's silence and the professional assassination techniques he'd just witnessed, felt a spark of interest. "Have you heard of the Snow Ninja Village?" he asked. Setsuna remained silent. "Where are those little girls? Take me to see them." Setsuna glanced at the unconscious Hanako on the ground, then turned and walked downstairs. Uchiha Zhuang followed, carrying Hanako on his back. They arrived at a storage room, where Setsuna opened several mechanisms. Finally, she stopped before an iron door, pointing to the keyhole. Uchiha Zhuang set Hanako down and began searching her, eventually finding the key inside her bra.

Entering the basement, Uchiha Zhuang saw the original pink "adult" room was still there, but a large area beyond it seemed to have been expanded. Under the dim lightbulb, he finally saw all the little girls, sleeping on a large tatami mat. Ootama and Tsugutama were sleeping on a large bed nearby. Uchiha Zhuang walked in, gently woke the two girls, and then gestured for Setsuna to rejoin the other girls. In the outer pink bed, Uchiha Zhuang channeled chakra, causing Hanako to slowly wake up.

Sitting on the bed, Uchiha Zhuang looked at the three women kneeling on the floor. He thought of the slightly clean faces and hair of the dozen or so little girls, and their new clothes, which somewhat appeased his anger. "Hanako, Ootama, Tsugutama. I believe you know the consequences of betraying your master, right? I am very angry now. If you cannot give me a satisfactory answer, I will make you suffer day and night." Uchiha Zhuang's frosty expression terrified the three women, who begged for mercy. They even started undressing together, attempting to serve Uchiha Zhuang, but he gently refused. Finally, Hanako spoke, "Master Uchiha Zhuang, we are gradually getting the hang of the tasks you assigned. We have a stable supply source and secure transaction locations and methods. I have also started sending people to build the second base, using a special construction organization from the black market. They only build and take money, and don't care about anything else, so you can rest assured about security."

Watching Hanako, completely naked and trembling, Uchiha Zhuang's heart gradually calmed down. It was good that the organization was taking shape! But why did Hanako have the courage and motive to betray him? After careful consideration, he concluded it must be the work of the old, immortal Hatano Yu. That detestable old man almost ruined everything. If he had arrived any later, the old man would have stolen it all. Uchiha Zhuang decided to retaliate severely against Daikokuya, to make the old man feel pain and not dare to have any further ideas.

With his mind made up, Uchiha Zhuang was no longer in a hurry. After careful questioning, he learned that the dozen or so little girls came from the Land of Snow, the Land of Sea, the Land of Rivers, the Land of Falls, and seven or eight other countries. They were all orphans, and four or five of them possessed special abilities. It was precisely because of these special abilities that these little girls were sold to human traffickers by their families or driven out of their homes.

Hanako was ordered to call all the little girls over. A moment later, looking at the girls with their big eyes and thin bodies, Uchiha Zhuang spoke softly, "I am Uchiha Zhuang, your master. From now on, you will all live for me and die for me. Not for any reason, but simply because this is how the world works. Strength determines everything. I am stronger than you, so I can control all of you. Everyone must work hard for me. Of course, I will provide you with good food, good clothes, and good housing, and I will allow you to enjoy normal freedom. But when I give an order, all of you must carry it out with the resolve to die." Uchiha Zhuang, with his two-tomoe Sharingan activated, looked at them. Everyone was captivated by his eyes, their consciousness being continuously hypnotized. Uchiha Zhuang knew that such hypnosis was only temporary and not very effective. As the base and organization grew larger and the number of personnel increased, he needed a way to control everyone.

Closing his eyes and immersing himself in the system, he browsed the control-type items in the mall, entering keywords like "chakra," "control," and "organization members." After a while, a list popped up. Uchiha Zhuang compared them for a long time before finally settling on an item he could afford. King of Gods Gu (Blue), 1200 points. This King of Gods Gu could be upgraded. The current blue quality could: control individuals below the Kage level, with the number of controlled individuals continuously increasing with the owner's strength. The Gu worms were extremely tiny, strange insects, non-toxic, colorless, and harmless. When casting the Gu, five would fly towards the target together, each occupying a vital part and fusing with flesh and blood: the brain, heart, intestines, private parts, and spine. Once the master dripped blood to recognize it as their own and activate it, it would never change. The person afflicted with the Gu would experience no discomfort or change; instead, they would subconsciously obey the master. However, if they harbored any thoughts of harming the master, they would suffer splitting headaches and burning internal organs. Furthermore, if they could endure the pain and act, their bodies would self-destruct and die. It was truly an essential medicine for developing an organization and conducting business.

Uchiha Zhuang read the usage instructions, silently complaining. He spent all his points to redeem it. Holding the transparent object that resembled a jade disc, Uchiha Zhuang threaded it with a rope and hung it around his neck. He cut his chest with a kunai, and the blood seemed to flow into the jade disc as if it had a will of its own, after which the wound automatically healed. The jade disc, having absorbed Uchiha Zhuang's blood, had a slightly reddish hue within its emerald green patterns, making it quite beautiful. Using chakra to activate the jade disc, countless tiny yellow light spots instantly flew out, creating a mesmerizing scene. The light spots then surged into everyone below. Uchiha Zhuang watched the light spots disappear into the little girls' bodies, and another burden was lifted from his heart.

Don't blame me for being lewd. In this world, no one can safely expose their back without precautions. There is no love without reason, nor hate without reason. Having lived two lifetimes, he absolutely could not be naive and trust others again. Feeling the jade disc on his chest, Uchiha Zhuang could sense everyone's psychological state and their degree of affection or dislike towards him. The dozen or so girls were all around half affinity, the few women were at sixty to seventy percent, and what surprised Uchiha Zhuang the most was that Setsuna had eighty percent affinity. Uchiha Zhuang said, "All the girls with special talents, step forward and let me see." Hanako, Ootama, and Tsugutama selected a few girls and pushed them forward to demonstrate one by one. Five girls: one could control water, one fire, one wind, one earth, and the last one was formidable, able to control blood. Looking at the girl who could control blood, Uchiha Zhuang asked, "Where are you from, and how old are you?" The little girl flinched slightly. Setsuna stepped forward and explained, "She is an orphan from the Land of Falls. Because of this evil ability, her village was ordered to be massacred by the lord, and only she escaped." Uchiha Zhuang's gaze shifted to Setsuna, who further explained, "I have already recognized her as my sister. I hope Master Uchiha Zhuang will come to me if anything happens, and I will do it." Looking at the slightly panicked, attractive blood-controlling girl, Uchiha Zhuang said, "Setsuna, you seem to be hiding something from me." As he spoke, Setsuna suddenly convulsed, falling to the ground and crying out miserably. The surrounding girls were terrified and huddled together, trembling. Hanako and the others knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound, while only Setsuna trembled weakly.

Uchiha Zhuang stopped the King of Gods Gu's ability, and Setsuna slowly ceased her wailing. Looking at the tear-streaked Setsuna, Uchiha Zhuang gently picked her up, sat her on the bed, and said, "You are a very brave girl, and I like you very much. Be my personal bodyguard." Setsuna trembled and said, "I will be your warrior, can you help me get revenge?" Looking at her clear, rose-red eyes, which seemed to twinkle with starlight. "Of course, I will also teach you the most powerful secret techniques in this world and grant you immense power. You will be fully capable of protecting the people and things you cherish most!" Uchiha Zhuang said calmly with a serious expression. "I am willing!" Setsuna said earnestly. Uchiha Zhuang gently wiped away her tears and snot. She looked much prettier this way, with a tender face, perfect features, and a slender body.
