Things That Are Forbidden and Things That Are Allowed

In the zeroth playthrough, Uchiha Shingen's favorite activity as a child was trampoline.

The feeling of sitting down and bouncing back up is amazing.

Pakura's body is similar in some ways, though not as exaggerated.

"Your acting was pretty good," Uchiha Shingen praised. "I didn't even realize you were faking being drunk."

"Who gave you the confidence to think you can tell if a woman is really drunk?" Pakura sneered. "Do you guys really think I don't know what drinking tea means?"

She was well aware of the underground dens of iniquity in Sunagakure.

They were all places of extravagance and debauchery, where people spent money hand over fist.

"It's no big deal for ninjas to have a cup of tea; it's consensual." Uchiha Shingen felt Pakura's softness. "You probably don't know, but I'm the cavalry company commander. You're acting like this, which is quite dangerous."

"I grew up in the desert, aren't you underestimating me?" Pakura licked his lips, his expression somewhat bewitching.

The women of the Land of Wind know one thing from birth.

If you think something is good, then grab it; if you don't, it'll be gone.

The same applies to finding a man; only a strong man can produce strong offspring.

For the weak, love is something they can only hope for but never attain, not for any other reason than that life is too fragile, and no one wants a family that is not complete.

Pakura would never date a man weaker than herself; that would make her feel insecure.

It's better not to have something at all than to gain it and then lose it.

The standard for a good man is that he is capable, intelligent, and has a strong personality. She only wants to be a real woman, not a mother. As for marriage, she doesn't care.

The Land of Wind isn't as particular as the Land of Fire. Since the Warring States period, ninja couples who fall in love simply sleep together and have children.

The wedding ceremony can be postponed.

Pakura thought Uchiha Shingen was quite good, and he perfectly suited her taste.

From the moment she arrived in Leaf Village, she had been observing Uchiha Shingen. At first, she didn't think much of it; she just felt that this person could be trusted for the time being.

As she gradually came to know the family, she grew to like them because of their completely different environment and atmosphere compared to Sand Village.

The men of the Uchiha Clan are truly a treasure.

The girls in Sunagakure have absolutely no resistance to this type.

Gradually, Pakura began to take it to heart. She was a grown woman now and also hoped to have someone to rely on at night.

But soon she realized she couldn't linger any longer, because Uchiha Shingen had brought back another woman.

This woman really knows how to drive.

There are many women like this in Sunagakure. Don't underestimate them just because they aren't strong; they have a lot of ways to seduce men.

Therefore, Pakura decided that after the war, she would take Uchiha Shingen, knowing that he also had feelings for her.

So what if you can drive? I'll just sleep with you!

Pakura slid one hand across her waist, unbuckling her belt and freeing her long legs from her clothes. She then hooked her legs around Uchiha Shingen's waist.

"It's hard to say who's in more danger right now." Pakura's lips curled slightly. "Ninjas are different from ordinary people. Women in the Land of Wind learn how to seduce their men from a young age."

"Heh..." Uchiha Shingen sneered, "Look at you, so capable. Did I become the cavalry company commander for nothing?"

What the hell is a cavalry company commander? I've said it twice already!

Pakura felt that Uchiha Shingen's only flaw was that he liked to say some inexplicable things.

However, this kind of problem is quite common; one more won't make a difference.

Outside the window, clouds obscured the moon, and without its light, the room appeared even darker. The shadows on the bed were intertwined, making it difficult to distinguish one from the other.

Meanwhile, amidst the raging battle and the various methods employed, the Hokage Building remained brightly lit.

Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Fugaku are working overtime in the Hokage's office.

"According to the Third's reply, Kumogakure has indeed yielded this time." Namikaze Minato handed the letter to Uchiha Fugaku. "Peace is now confirmed."

"It's normal to back down. With the deaths of two Raikage and the loss of both Tailed Beasts, Kumogakure has become the village that has suffered the greatest losses," said Uchiha Fugaku. "Now, it depends on what conditions the village is willing to offer."

"This time, we can't let Shingen take action." Namikaze Minato thought for a moment. "The strength of Kumogakure cannot be weakened too much, otherwise the village will not have enough means to restrain Iwagakure. If Shingen doesn't take action, it will send a good signal to Kumogakure."

"We can demand compensation for the Six Paths Tools." Uchiha Fugaku remembered this. "The Amber Purifying Pot is currently one of only two tools capable of sealing Tailed Beasts. Sand Village is an ally, so we can't make plans with them, but Cloud Village, as a defeated nation, can be the target of this demand."

"Yes, this concerns the core interests of the Cloud Village, so they will likely find another way to replace it."

"In that case, we can demand that they hand over the training techniques for Perfect Jinchuriki. Even if they don't hand over everything, it will be enough. To us, this technique is more valuable than ninja tools."

"Yes, the Raikage Clan sacrificed many members to obtain this technology. It's the best thing for the village." Namikaze Minato nodded. "This greatly increases the necessity for the Uzumaki Clan to rebuild."

"The Uzumaki Clan has always been an important ally of the village. Although there were external forces involved, the village truly failed its ally in failing to provide timely assistance back then, which also brought a very negative impact to the village. Reconstruction is the right thing to do," said Uchiha Fugaku. "Furthermore, if I may be frank, to truly utilize the power of the Uzumaki Clan, restoring the ninja clan to its former glory is essential."

"I'll talk to Kushina properly." Namikaze Minato understood his friend's meaning.

Starting with the Two-Tails, Leaf Village will change its old policy and try its best to bring back the Tailed Beasts that are currently "unclaimed".

Apart from the Uzumaki Clan, no other group is capable of undertaking this task.

Therefore, Leaf Village needed the mature Jinchūriki technology that Cloud Village had developed after losing an entire family. This technology, combined with the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu, would allow Leaf Village to stably utilize the power of the Tailed Beasts.

This is much more reliable than the Wood Release experiment.

The manpower crisis caused by the repeated failures of the Wood Release experiments was one of the important reasons why the Senju Clan decided to withdraw from the martial arts world.

"By the way, isn't tonight Shingen's victory celebration banquet? Fugaku, aren't you going?"

"I'm not going. Mikoto will take care of everything. It should be all settled by now."

"Ah?"

"Oh, don't worry about it, Lord Hokage. You should go home early today. Peace has arrived, you should spend more time with your family."

Chapter Seven: Things That Are Not Allowed and Things That Are Allowed

Early in the morning, Uchiha Shingen wasn't awakened by the sunlight; he was woken up by being squeezed in the sunlight.

The Land of Fire is a country with many hills, so it's perfectly reasonable for a resident of the Land of Fire to wake up amidst these hills.

The hills that Uchiha Shingen faced were a bit more exaggerated; towering mountains surrounded him on both sides of his head.

He believes that changing customs and traditions is not good, and that preserving the original customs is a good thing, as the charm of culture lies in its diversity.

The women of Sand Village and Hidden Mist Village are truly remarkable; I've learned something new.

This forced him to use his ultimate techniques: the horseback archery shooting motion and the water-powered shield tunneling method.

The key is to lean back with your legs spread apart, grip the basket with both hands, and start the movement quickly, control the time spent in the air, and glide for a short distance.

This was his signature move back in the day, and it's probably been lost by now. The beauty of this move is that the horse is sometimes also a defender, so he needs to use his body to lean against the defender, preventing him from jumping to block.

The hydraulic shield tunneling method is even simpler. It relies on jacks to pressurize and advance the tunnel from the rear, making full use of bentonite liquid for smooth construction. Bentonite liquid can be used to balance soil pressure and water pressure, and can also be used as a medium to transport and discharge soil.

The key is to allocate effort reasonably.

These are all techniques that demonstrate the strategic skills of both the attackers and defenders. Back then, his opponents were all very skilled ninjas, so the physical confrontations were quite intense.

Those who are not ninjas lack the physical strength and resilience to withstand such intense combat.

Under Uchiha Shingen's seamless transitions and precise strikes, Sakurako was quickly defeated. As for Pakura, she lived up to her reputation as a renowned Scorch Release ninja, not only fighting him to a standstill but also displaying considerable strength and prowess.

He hadn't encountered such a formidable opponent in a long time.

Oh? You're asking why Sakurako is competing on the same stage? Well, she's been drinking, and who knows how she suddenly appeared in that pitch-black place, and then flew off in a Rotation yukata flip.

As the old saying goes, when a girl says she's drunk, don't doubt her.

If a girl says you're a little animal, then you should tell her that every man has a little wild beast inside him.

If a girl has condescended to clean a national treasure for you, you must respect her passion for firearms.

Sakurako's inability to use Chakra is a real disadvantage, as she can't keep up with his and Pakura's fighting pace.

Although he was awake, Uchiha Shingen didn't open his eyes because he felt too comfortable and wanted to lie down for a while longer.

It won't affect his cultivation; he's very strict about time management in this regard.

However, while he remained asleep, some others had already woken up.

Sakurako was the first to open her eyes. She quietly looked at Uchiha Shingen, who was sleeping, and gently moved her beautiful legs between Uchiha Shingen legs, pressing them lightly and rubbing them occasionally.

Seeing that Uchiha Shingen was still not awake, she pouted, put her pale, slightly cool hand under the covers, and gently ran her long, slender index finger along the surface.

Pakura opened his eyes, muttering under his breath, "So bad and so playful," and pinched Uchiha Shingen's nose as he looked at him with his head buried in the hill.

Uchiha Shingen was forced to "wake up," and sighed, "Do you think it's easy for me to sleep in?"

Honestly, only Sunagakure and Kirigakure can compare; Leaf Village doesn't have anyone like them.

"Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me." No, it's more like "Among three people walking together, there must be bloodshed."

Faced with this situation that arose by a series of unforeseen circumstances, Uchiha Shingen could only take it one step at a time.

What else could he do? Given last night's situation, how could he possibly control the gun? If he could control the gun, could the tunnel boring machine?

He then touched the sandbags behind the two people and patted them a few times.

"Sakurako, being both bad at the game and a playful person isn't a good habit."

"Mmm..." Sakurako pouted, her pale, cool little hands slipping out from under the covers and wrapping around Uchiha Shingen's neck, clinging to him. Her cherry lips were a little pale, but that only made her look more charming.

Seeing this, Uchiha Shingen said, "Don't you know I can lift weights this morning? Be careful, or I'll eat you up."

Upon hearing this, Sakurako's eyes lit up, and her delicate body moved downwards.

"Then hurry up and eat me, I'm willing to let you eat me."

She was full of anticipation.

Pakura was annoyed.

The Land of Wind is a typical country where men are too patriarchal. Due to environmental factors, there are far too few suitable men and far too many women, resulting in a severe shortage of resources. Female Sand Ninja enjoy the pleasure that free fighting brings to both sides, and the quality of their fighting is seen as a sign of male strength and an important criterion for choosing a partner.

The standard remains the same: strength is key. What kind of strength is it if there's no masculine power?

Pakura was never a weak, submissive woman. Although she desired to be conquered, she would not pretend to be. If Uchiha Shingen couldn't do that, she would regretfully give up, considering it repayment for his kindness. She would become his lover, but if another man came along who she liked, she would end the relationship.

However, Pakura was very satisfied with Uchiha Shingen's performance. She felt a lot of masculine power from Uchiha Shingen. He was a real man, and she liked him very much.

She will continue to push forward, making Uchiha Shingen fully realize that the two are very suitable life partners.

The way Sunagakure approaches to love may not be as refined as that of Leaf Village, appearing rather rough and even reckless, but it is very effective. There are no cases of disharmony in marriages among Sand Ninja; they only become husband and wife when they are very satisfied with each other.

As for Pakura, back in Sunagakure, there was no one she could choose from, so she was a theorist with zero practical experience.

The main reason Pakura didn't kick Sakurako off the bed last night was because she felt Sakurako was simply incompetent.

And indeed, this proved to be true; Sakurako was defeated in one round, a typical case of being all show and no substance.

Driving theory is all theoretical; it's meaningless if you can't apply it in practice.

Uchiha Shingen was Pakura's first man, Pakura believed that this was the man she could spend the rest of her life with.

As for Sakurako, that's not a problem. In her opinion, it's no big deal for a powerful man like Uchiha Shingen to keep a little wildcat, as long as he doesn't seduce women indiscriminately.

However, as pets, they should be self-aware and not allow any attempts to mate.

"Alright, stop clinging," Pakura said irritably. "He should go train."

Upon hearing Sakurako's eyes dimmed.

After being defeated in one move last night, she finally understood why ninjas in Kirigakure only mate with other ninjas.

It's not about identity, but about suitability.

She once again envied those who could refine and use Chakra.

She didn't aspire to be a ninja, but she genuinely hoped to possess that talent. In this respect, her views were the same as Pakura's: to choose a strong person as one's life partner.

The difference is that Pakura herself is very strong, while she is extremely weak.

He's completely powerless! No, that's not entirely true, but in short, he's just an ordinary person, very weak.

She wanted the power of Chakra too!

She will definitely find a way to do it!
