Inside the Hokage's office, Fugaku's sudden intrusion created a tense atmosphere.
After a long pause, Danzo spoke in a low voice: "Sarutobi, I called him here. Did you think I hadn't considered our village's high-end combat power?"
Hearing this, the stiffness on Hiruzen's face finally eased. After all, he had been discussing important matters when someone from the Uchiha clan suddenly barged in. What kind of situation was this?
"Lord Third, I remember the last time Konoha went to war with Kirigakure. You personally came to find me and promised that, regardless of the war's outcome, the Uchiha clan would be involved in Konoha's high-level political decisions. You haven't forgotten this, have you, Lord Third?"
At this moment, Fugaku's face was shrouded in dark shadows. Gone was his previous dignified bearing as the clan head. Instead, his body exuded an aura that could only be described as "violent".
"I won't go back on my word." Hiruzen frowned and snorted coldly, "However, if you want to come, you could notify me in advance."
Danzo stood up at this point and said, "Let it be. Since Clan Head Fugaku is here, let's start discussing the important matters. Back to the previous issue, Sarutobi — regarding Konoha's high-end combat power. You don't need to worry anymore. I've already resolved this issue with Clan Head Fugaku."
"Resolved?" Hiruzen frowned and said in a low voice, "Then... where is this high-end combat power? You plus me? And Orochimaru? As well as the heads of the major clans?"
He turned his gaze to Fugaku.
"Moreover... Clan Head Fugaku, although I really don't want to say this, but as far as I know, your current strength is at most just—"
But before Hiruzen could finish speaking, a crimson light suddenly burst from Fugaku's eyes!
A pair of Mangekyou Sharingan appeared abruptly! All of a sudden, a terrifying pressure began to bear down on the Third Hokage!
"Th-this is... Kage level!" Hiruzen stumbled back two steps. He stared at Fugaku's eyes with a mix of shock and horror, "This is... the Mangekyou Sharingan?!"
He knew, of course, that beyond the Sharingan lay the even more powerful Mangekyou Sharingan. After all, Madara Uchiha, who founded the village alongside the First Hokage, possessed it. Hiruzen had read about its immense power in the early records of the village's founding.
At this moment, Fugaku's face was shrouded in dark shadows and arrogance. He tilted his head, nodding to Inabi and Tekka Uchiha behind him. Their expressionless faces bore hints of crazed smiles.
In an instant, both men activated their own Mangekyou Sharingan! One revealed a large five-bladed pinwheel, the other a three-pinwheel cross shape.
These two had awakened their Mangekyou Sharingan mere months ago. Orochimaru's relentless torment had forcibly triggered their awakening! This type of Mangekyou Sharingan, awakened through intense mental stimulation, was the true Mangekyou in every sense.
"Three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan!" Hiruzen was struck speechless.
A single pair of Mangekyou Sharingan was already Kage-level! And there were three pairs. That meant three Kage-level shinobi?!
"Shisui has it too." Fugaku's voice was hoarse with intensity, "So, as I said, the matter of the village's security can be put to rest. Moreover, once we and the other villages surround Kirigakure, we Uchihas will easily take Yusuke Kamizuki's life!"
The current Fugaku, consumed by his desire for revenge, had abandoned all scruples in his quest to kill Yusuke!
Now, the Konoha higher-ups were useless! Even the strongest ninja in the Konoha ANBU was at most a Jonin — not even reaching half-Kage level!
After prolonged cooperation between the Uchiha clan, Orochimaru, and Shin Uchiha, the clan's strength had risen to unprecedented levels. There was no longer any need to follow the whims of the Konoha higher-ups — or rather, the Third Hokage's whims!
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the entire Konoha leadership were no longer a threat!
"Hah..." Hiruzen took a deep breath, his heart still filled with intense shock.
It seemed even Yusuke could miscalculate sometimes. He probably never imagined that kidnapping Mikoto Uchiha would lead to Fugaku's frenzied transformation.
But this was good too! A vicious glint flashed in the depths of Hiruzen's eyes.
Let the Uchiha clan and Yusuke Kamizuki fight to the death! Then, all the benefits would fall into his own hands!
Regarding Fugaku's sudden display of intimidating power, Hiruzen felt apprehensive. He sensed that the Uchiha clan was continuously slipping out of his control. This couldn't continue...
Fugaku left with Inabi and Tekka. He had come with only one purpose: to officially announce to the Third Hokage that from now on, the Uchiha clan would be fully involved in Konoha's high-level decision-making. He also wanted to tell Hiruzen that when decisions needed to be made, the Uchiha clan must be called upon.
"Danzo... You knew about this already?" After Fugaku and the others left, Hiruzen furrowed his brow and asked.
"I only learned of this a few days before you." Danzo said, his eyelids lowering slightly, "Mikoto Uchiha's abduction by Yusuke Kamizuki was a tremendous shock to the Uchiha clan. However, it was precisely this event that spurred the emergence of many powerful individuals. These are the combat strengths our Konoha village desperately needs right now."
Hiruzen spoke in a low voice, "Aren't you concerned that we might lose control over the Uchiha clan?"
Danzo exhaled slowly and replied, "We'll use a wolf to hunt a tiger."
After he finished speaking, silence fell over the room.
After a long pause, Hiruzen nodded. "Mm."
Having said his piece, Danzo rose and left.
❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
Shortly after, in the underground Root headquarters.
Danzo returned to find Fugaku waiting for him.
"Don't worry about Sarutobi." Danzo said, narrowing his eyes, "Though he fears your power, he has no choice but to use it."
"Right now, he's nothing but an empty shell to us." Fugaku replied, a cold glint flashing in his pupils, "If we were to elect a new Hokage now, we couldn't unite the strength of other hidden villages. Hiruzen Sarutobi is just a connecting link. After we destroy Kirigakure, after I personally kill Yusuke Kamizuki — you, Danzo, will become the new Hokage of Konoha!"
His eyes blazed with deep-seated hatred.
Then, he slowly exhaled.
"Danzo, rest assured. I have no interest in the position of Hokage. I have only two objectives: to kill Yusuke Kamizuki and to participate in Konoha's high-level affairs afterward. As for who becomes Hokage, I don't care."
Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Danzo's rigid face.
"Then let's wish for a fruitful cooperation."
Clearly, the two had reached an agreement.
Fugaku wanted Yusuke's life. Danzo wanted the position of Hokage.
The two were in perfect accord.
❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
Kirigakure. On the top floor of the ANBU building.
Yusuke stood quietly by the window, observing the Kiri ninjas training relentlessly on the cobblestone plaza below.
"Kumogakure has been surprisingly well-behaved lately; their border patrols have been disciplined. Konohagakure is following suit." Mangetsu reported, sharing the latest intelligence on the major hidden villages, "As for Sunagakure and Iwagakure, their distance from us means they're not an immediate concern."
Yusuke nodded.
"Nevertheless, we can't afford to lower our guard. Continue strengthening the village's defenses and border patrols. Konoha, Kumo, Suna, Iwa... they may seem calm on the surface, but undercurrents are already stirring beneath."
"Yes, sir!" Mangetsu bowed respectfully before vanishing from sight.
Yusuke's gaze drifted to the horizon, his mind churning with thoughts.
Kirigakure was brimming with vibrant energy, but true development required time — a luxury they couldn't afford. What they needed now was breathing room.
And where would this respite come from? Absolute military deterrence. Only with overwhelming strength could the Mist Village buy the time needed to recuperate and bolster its overall combat prowess.
"Just two Kage-level powerhouses in the village... it's not enough." He muttered to himself.
Kisame was one, along with the newly powered Mei. As for Yagura, Yusuke had completely written him off — his combat ability was negligible at best.
"It's time to accumulate more villain points." His gaze slowly shifted to the wall in the hall.
He activated his X-ray vision, effortlessly penetrating the wall. Mikoto, Kushina, Tsunade, Shizune, Mabui, Yugito — all came into view.
"Hmm... Who shall I choose today?" Yusuke pinched the bridge of his nose, pondering seriously.
"After all, I'm a bad guy. I can't sleep unless I make an adult woman cry..."
❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
In the adjacent room.
Mikoto's eyes were slightly teary. By the bedside, Kushina angrily clenched her fists, her teeth grinding audibly.
"That damned Yusuke Kamizuki! He actually—! Hmph! I'm furious!"
Kushina and Mikoto were close friends who could discuss almost anything. After hearing her friend's confession last night, Kushina was beyond enraged.
She wanted nothing more than to tear Yusuke into a thousand pieces!
What Kushina failed to realize was that her anger stemmed not from the confession itself, but from the situation as a whole. It was simply unacceptable to her that this had happened.
After all, even Mikoto didn't cry much, saddened only by losing her virginity in such a manner. Strangely, when she recalled how she was treated afterward, those feelings seemed to fade. She only felt ashamed for not being angrier about the situation.
"Kushina..." Mikoto took her friend's hand as she wiped away a tear. She tried to gather words of courage, "Please be careful. I was the first, but I'm afraid... in the coming days, things won't be so simple anymore."
She knew that once this kind of thing happened for the first time, there would be countless more. This led to an internal struggle between the demon and the whispering angel in her ears: gratitude for the night Vs. fury about it.
Even if this fate had befallen her, she didn't want it for her friend. She had already given herself to Yusuke. Next, Kushina would likely fall victim to his evil clutches as well.
"He wouldn't dare!" Kushina was furious. She said viciously, "If he really dares... I'll... I'll release the Nine-Tails seal inside me! Then, I'll fight him to the death!"
The Nine-Tails was her greatest trump card. It hadn't been revealed until now, so she was certain Yusuke didn't know about this ace up her sleeve!
"Absolutely not, Kushina! If Yusuke finds out you're the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki... he'll definitely exploit your power..." Mikoto gripped her hand, trying to persuade her.
Her friend might not know, but now she knew something extremely important about Yusuke: he possessed a Mangekyo Sharingan, one much more powerful than Fugaku's. Therefore, he could easily control the Nine-Tails.
"Sister Mikoto, then tell me... if he really... What should I do?" Kushina's brows furrowed tightly, "Do I... really have to give in to him?"
For a moment, Mikoto was at a loss for words. Her conflicted mind oscillated between whispering "Yes, you'll enjoy it" and "No, don't succumb to the same sin".
After all, she saw no escape from Yusuke's clutches.
"Kushina..." Mikoto said softly, "It's unfair of me to say this, but if it comes to that point, prioritize survival. As long as you're alive, there's hope."
"I understand, Sister Mikoto." Kushina nodded, her expression speaking volumes.
If it truly came to that, she'd do whatever necessary — to teach Yusuke a lesson he'd never forget!
❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
Night fell.
All the women had returned to their rooms to rest. Yusuke had set a strict curfew: unless he personally escorted them, Kushina and the others must return to their respective rooms by 10 PM. Otherwise, the slave collars on their necks would continuously release strong electric currents.
At this moment, he opened the door to Mikoto's room.
To his unsurprise, she was already waiting for him. Perhaps he had been too obvious.
Dressed in a sexy nightgown, the soft, nearly transparent fabric revealed her curves. Her practically bare breasts pressed against the thin material, nipples visibly hard beneath.
Mikoto looked up, her cheeks flushed to her ears. She couldn't fathom how she had reached the point of preparing for him again.
Walking up to her, he paused, taking in the brunette beauty before him. His hand caressed her cheek, then slid into her hair.
"I've been waiting all day for this, you know?"
With those words, he claimed her lips and continued his journey — seeking to cuckold Fugaku and gain more Villain Points.
[ Ding! Mikoto cries out your name, fervently seeking your lips in the night! Fugaku Uchiha shivers as the green hat settles upon him! Congratulations, host has gained 200,000 Villain Points! ]
[ Ding! Mikoto loses all inhibition! She eagerly welcomes you! Fugaku Uchiha's nightmare features a mountain of green leaves! Congratulations, host has gained 100,000 Villain Points! ]
[ Ding! Mikoto takes charge! She initiates your pleasure! Fugaku Uchiha's nightmare shifts to drowning in an ocean of green water! Congratulations, host has gained 50,000 Villain Points! ]
The next morning.
Yusuke glanced at Mikoto, sleeping soundly on his chest. He raised an eyebrow.
Something was amiss. Why were the Villain Points decreasing? They had dwindled to a mere 50,000 at the end.
There were only two explanations for this decrease.
First, his villainous deeds no longer met the standard. Second, the system had ceased to value the emotions of the other party, or their emotional consequences, as worthy of substantial points.
It was like the hypothesis that killing normal civilians might yield millions of points at once. While undoubtedly villainous and cruel, the system might disregard such acts if they had minimal consequences for others' actions or emotions.
After all, it wasn't simply negative emotions towards him that automatically generated points. He hadn't gained any Villain Points when the Raikage learned about the "Kiri Ninjas" decimating villages in Yusuke's name before their war.
'This woman... I'll gain as many points as I can. If it ends at some point, so be it. She's mine anyway.' Yusuke thought to himself.
He carefully rose, trying not to wake her. After showering, he returned to the bed and planted a light kiss on her head. Only then did he leave. Even with Mabui's help, there were still many ANBU matters that required his attention.
Just after Yusuke closed the door, Mikoto stirred slightly. Her tired eyes gazed at the door, a faint blush creeping to her ears.
She murmured softly, "Hmph! Who cares?"
