On this day, the sun shone brightly.
After more than two weeks of consolidation, Yusuke had gained complete control over the Land of Lightning. The Lightning Daimyo's forces lay in ruins, and the position of Daimyo in the Land of Lightning had been eliminated.
All power now rested in Yusuke's hands. Authority flowed from the Mist ANBU headquarters, where all matters were to be reported immediately.
The Kiri ANBU headquarters — now dubbed "the power centralization building" — held sway over all decision-making for the entire Land of Water, Kirigakure, Land of Lightning, and Kumogakure.
Such was the new order.
On the return journey, Samui accompanied Yusuke as his dutiful maid and woman. A month of intense intimacy had worn down her resistance to his commands.
Though she still harbored thoughts of revenge — fantasizing about stuffing large rice balls down his throat — she had grown accustomed to his nature. Outwardly brutal, bossy, and cunning, he showed a different side with her: affectionate, "tough love", and at times feigning obliviousness to her anger.
These complexities had eroded her will to resist. Now, she slept deeply in his arms, their bodies entwined after an intense encounter.
As night fell, Yusuke gazed at Samui, his eyes tracing her sleeping form. His hand glided over her alabaster skin, following the graceful curves of her body. Inhaling the scent of her golden hair, he gently cupped one breast before stoping there.
'I wonder... Would Tsunade feel the same?' He mused, curious if all blondes possessed Samui's firmness, 'I'll have to find out when we return.'
Shifting his thoughts, a satisfied smile played on his lips. Kumogakure and the Land of Lightning now lay firmly under Kirigakure's control.
Over the past fortnight, he had systematically extended his influence across the country. Lacking time to use Mental Imprint on every one of the Daimyo's subordinates, he resorted to more brutal tactics. Those deemed cruel or potentially treacherous faced execution, while others surrendered under threats of generational extermination. Kiri's skilled interrogators ensured this strategy's effectiveness.
He then dispatched his most administratively talented ninjas to major cities and select towns, establishing political control. This ensured smooth governance, akin to a well-oiled machine.
Yusuke also prioritized resource management, directing surplus to convoys bound for Kirigakure. He slightly increased collection rates (taxes) and reoriented the Land of Lightning's focus towards agriculture and physical resource production, carefully avoiding societal disruption.
Remarkably, the general populace remained largely unaware of these sweeping changes. To them, it merely appeared as a change in government, with their land becoming a vassal state to the Land of Water. As their daily lives continued uninterrupted, most citizens carried on with their usual concerns, oblivious to the ninja conflict that had reshaped their nation.
Regarding Kumogakure, Yusuke's plan was straightforward: produce more ninjas loyal to Kirigakure. With a large portion of the population under his Mental Imprint, they felt compelled to proclaim Yusuke's benevolence and spread ideals that benefited him. This strategy aimed to ensure that both current and future generations of ninjas would serve under a single banner.
This process, however, would take time. Just as building a country isn't an overnight feat, neither is its takeover. The long-term plan required delicate execution to prevent popular uprisings or civil wars.
Still, Yusuke considered this approach superior to pillaging all resources and leaving such a vast country to languish in poverty out of pure selfishness. {This is what happened in the Raw…}
He returned to his carriage in the convoy. This large-scale transport operation demanded his personal oversight. After all, the possibility of an ambush by envious nations like Konoha, Suna, or even Iwa couldn't be ruled out.
Reclining on the bed inside the carriage, he mentally commanded the system, 'Start the life simulator!'
For the past month, Yusuke had been engrossed in managing the Land of Lightning's affairs. Only now did he find a moment of leisure.
Naturally, he couldn't pass up this chance to engage with the simulator.
[ Ding! The Life Simulator is about to start! ]
[ Please choose the Cheat Ability you want to simulate in your life: ]
[ 1º Option: Pika Pika no Mi {Glint-Glint Fruit} (Perfect Version, no side effects) ]
[ 2º Option: Sun Breathing (Mastered Version) ]
[ 3º Option: Ultimate Transformation Technique (Demon Version) ]
[ Please select— ]
Yusuke raised an eyebrow, examining the choices before him.
At present, the Glint-Glint Fruit seemed the most appealing option. However, his gaze lingered on the "Ultimate Transformation Technique" cheat ability.
If it were merely a simple transformation technique, he might have dismissed it outright. But the addition of "Demon Version" piqued his interest. Could there be something extraordinary about it?
His curiosity grew. Surely this wasn't just an ordinary transformation technique? Did it possess some unique qualities?
At best, he mused, it might rival the Wood Release Transformation Technique — a level of perfection where discerning truth from illusion became nearly impossible.
'Today, I'll challenge this superstition. I choose number three!' Yusuke declared, his eyes narrowing with determination.
Even if it proved to be a useless transformation technique, he'd accept the outcome. Worst case scenario, he could always simulate again.
[ Ding! Cheat Ability selected: Ultimate Transformation Technique (Demon Version) ]
[ Ding! Life Limulation starting! ]
[ You were born in Konoha and lived an unremarkable life for eighteen years. At this age, you achieved the rank of jonin — a noteworthy accomplishment, as few shinobi attain this level so young. ]
[ This is your moment of pride. ]
Confusion was etched across Yusuke's face, as if a giant [Hold up, what the fuck?] sign had materialized on his forehead. He nearly choked at the revelation.
Eighteen years of utter mediocrity, and then — bam! — he gloriously ascends to jonin rank? How incredibly "glorious" indeed. And this was supposed to be his crowning achievement?
In fairness, without any cheat abilities, becoming a jonin after eighteen years of training would indeed place him among the elite of ordinary shinobi. So technically, it wasn't wrong to call it his moment of pride.
[ On the very day you were promoted to jonin, you received a mission! The Fourth Great Ninja War had reached its final stages! You, who had originally been left to guard the village, were now to be dispatched to the battlefield! ]
"Bitch, not this again…" Yusuke muttered under his breath.
So he hadn't gained anything from his promotion after all. The Fourth Great Ninja War was already ending? Indeed, he had truly lived an unremarkable life until eighteen — devoid of any real ambition or desire.
[ You followed orders and arrived at the battlefield of the Fourth Great Ninja War. However, en route, you fell under the spell of the successfully cast Infinite Tsukuyomi. ]
Yusuke raised an eyebrow, his expression a mix of disbelief and frustration.
This wouldn't do. He needed a moment to collect himself. If things continued this way, this simulator might just be the death of him!
"Samui, come here." Yusuke called out to her, his voice carrying beyond the carriage.
After a brief moment, Samui tiptoed inside, her mind still swirling with devious culinary plans. She was out there breathing a little of fresh air after the good sleep and thinking what she should cook for him. Large rice balls? Choking hazards meat? Or perhaps a feast so grand and delicious it would make him burst?
She had been about to rest when his summons came — how convenient.
"I'm feeling a bit stressed. Care to help?" Yusuke said, perching on the edge of the bed.
Samui paused, quickly grasping his meaning, "...Of course, Master!"
A slight smile played on her lips as she knelt before him, ready to begin her ministrations.
As she focused on pleasuring him, her thoughts drifted to how easily she had accepted this situation. Despite her outward compliance, a part of her marveled at her own adaptability.
After nearly a month of such treatment in Kumogakure, performing countless tasks for him daily, Samui discovered a strange, inexplicable feeling growing in the depths of her heart.
This feeling caused her to tremble intensely at times. Yusuke seemed aware of her enjoyment and exploited this vulnerability.
She wondered if, deep down, she was truly like this—a woman who relished affection and care after brutal treatment in bed. One who served her man while her heart denied it, claiming it was an attempt at revenge.
Late at night, Yusuke reclined comfortably in the bed. Samui lay beside him, her leg draped over him, breathing deeply into his neck. Her hands worked diligently, massaging his most sensitive jewels.
With his mood improved after relaxing, Yusuke resumed the life simulator.
[ Ding! Life Simulation continues! ]
[ Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki battled fiercely! The outcome: both lost an arm! Despite their injuries, they reconciled. ]
[ Together, they dispelled the Infinite Tsukuyomi! As you escaped the genjutsu, your Cheat Ability suddenly activated! ]
[ {Congratulations, host! You've completed the hidden task: 'Experience the Infinite Tsukuyomi'!} ]
[ {Ding! Congratulations, host! You've obtained: 'Ultimate Transformation Technique (Demon Version)'} ]
[ {Ding! The Ultimate Transformation Technique allows you to flawlessly replicate anyone you've seen — their appearance, voice, chakra signature, and abilities! This includes the target's Ninjutsu, Chakra, Kekkei Genkai, Physique, Senjutsu, and more! It's a perfect, first-class replication!} ]
[ {What's more, you can replicate ninja infinitely! There's no limit to the number!} ]
"Holy Lord!" Yusuke exclaimed, utterly shocked to his core.
You call this a mere transformation technique? This is a super-replicator! And with no limits on the number of replications — just a face-to-face encounter, and you can easily copy anyone. Isn't this absurdly overpowered?
Just as he was about to continue simulating, Samui glanced up, a smile playing on her lips. She could already sense the effect of her massage.
"Again?" She purred, her nails tracing a line along the awakened warrior below.
"Hm?" Yusuke was momentarily puzzled, then grinned. It seemed she had misunderstood something.
But a misunderstanding is just that — a misunderstanding. But a perfect timing at this.
He was indeed eager for another round.
[ Ding! Samui desperately tried to drain you to death in the fight, but couldn't win! She is sad and angry, and promises to try again as many times as necessary! Congratulations, host, you've gained 100,000 Villain Points! ]
Yusuke was elated! He had effortlessly racked up another 100,000 Villain Points!
With renewed enthusiasm, he resumed the life simulator.
[ After activating your Cheat Ability, you hatched an ambitious plan. This would compensate for your eighteen years of mediocrity! ]
[ As you schemed, the ninja world celebrated Sasuke and Naruto's successful rescue mission. ]
[ Upon returning to Konohagakure, you set your sights on your first target: Naruto Uzumaki, one of the ninja world's most formidable powers. ]
[ Leveraging your official position and good standing in the village, you effortlessly entered Konoha Ninja Hospital. ]
It was exactly as he'd anticipated. Having acquired such an absurdly powerful cheat ability, the logical first step was to replicate the strongest individual available.
Naruto Uzumaki — undoubtedly his prime target!
[ Due to his severed arm, Naruto was receiving treatment from Konoha Ninja Hospital's elite medical team. ]
[ Using your official privileges, you entered his ward. Having little prior interaction with Naruto, you had no intention of conversing. You silently approached his bedside, changed his IV bag, and quietly left. Naruto remained sound asleep throughout, unaware of your presence. ]
[ {Ding! Congratulations, host! You've come face-to-face with 'Naruto Uzumaki'! You can now use the 'Ultimate Transformation Technique' to replicate all his abilities at any time!} ]
[ After leaving the hospital, you returned home and let out a soft sigh of relief. Forming hand seals, you whispered — Ultimate Transformation Technique — Naruto Uzumaki Form! ]
[ Poof! — In a puff of white smoke, you transformed into Naruto's exact likeness — a flawless replication! No one in the ninja world could detect this transformation. As long as you maintain it, you'll never be exposed! ]
[ {Ding! Replicating 'Naruto Uzumaki's' abilities! Congratulations, host! You've obtained: Uzumaki Physique, Nine-Tails Chakra + One Absolutely Loyal Replicated Kurama, Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, Sage Mode, Senjutsu, Multi-Shadow Clone Technique, Rasengan, Big Ball Rasengan...} ]
[ The prompt chimed in your mind for a full half hour! You've now thoroughly replicated all of Naruto's abilities. In fact, you could completely replace him — as long as no one discovers your secret! ]
Yusuke couldn't help but click his tongue in astonishment.
This ability was truly overpowered! No wonder it was called the "Demon Version". It was almost too brutal to comprehend.
However, up to this point, Yusuke still hadn't discovered where the "demon" aspect of this version manifested itself.
"I hope it's not something literally demonic or psychotic, but I'm quite intrigued by this aspect…" Yusuke muttered with a smile.
[ You took a deep breath, left the room, and walked to a nearby grove. After all, you hadn't dispelled the transformation technique yet, so it was best to avoid being seen by others! ]
[ "Naruto-kun?!" Suddenly, a startled feminine cry from the grove caught your attention! You looked up to see Hinata Hyuga, her face a mix of panic and shyness! ]
As the simulator reached this point, realization dawned on Yusuke.
'Isn't this where the fun begins? The real joy — isn't this where it starts?'
So, this is where the demon lies.
