T/N: Sorry the delay, spent the day with my fiancée. And I have priorities...
Ahem, good chapter for everybody!
❆❆❆
Yusuke smiled, looking at Tsunade and the others before him.
"Samui?!" Yugito exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the woman behind him.
"Sister Yugito, Sister Mabui." Samui greeted softly. She addressed them this way because Yusuke had instructed her during their journey to do so, reminding her that they were no longer in Kumo.
At this moment, her body was still sore from the previous night's activities. He had been rougher than usual, though he'd made up for it afterwards until she fell asleep. The irony was that she had requested it, leaving her no room to complain.
Seeing her with downcast eyes and slightly flushed cheeks, they imagined what she had experienced. Mabui especially noticed how Samui had changed since their last encounter, becoming more feminine. It was clear what had transpired between the two.
'So she's his woman now, given the time that's passed...' Mabui deduced, observing the gestures between them and how close Samui voluntarily remained to Yusuke. Her heart felt a slight twinge.
"Hey... Don't you think you've been too ruthless? You killed more than fifteen thousand ninjas in this war..." Tsunade stood up, biting her lip and speaking hesitantly.
She knew it was a battlefield, after all. Even if Yusuke had slaughtered everyone in the Land of Lightning, they could only watch helplessly, without any right to comment on his actions.
"Ruthless, you say?" Yusuke smiled faintly, "First, I didn't start this war. And even though I didn't, I believe I was still quite magnanimous in sparing the children and those who surrendered. I didn't kill any civilian who yielded. Do you still consider this ruthless?"
After hearing his words, the women found themselves unable to refute. Seeing this, Yusuke smiled with slight satisfaction.
"Mikoto, take Samui and arrange her a good room." Yusuke instructed.
"Yes, Master." Mikoto nodded, then approached Samui.
As she drew closer, Mikoto took in the new blonde woman's appearance — cold blue eyes, shoulder-length hair, and a beautiful collarbone. Her gaze quickly caught a small reddish mark on Samui's chest, barely hidden beneath her clothes.
One look at her blushing face was all the Uchiha needed to understand the situation. She was familiar with Yusuke's penchant for playing with breasts and leaving "love marks" as a sign of his possessiveness. It didn't hurt, but it served as a clear message.
Mikoto immediately realized that this woman had already been intimate with her Master.
"Samui, come with me." Mikoto said softly.
"...Mm." Though Samui wished to speak with Mabui and Yugito, she obediently followed Yusuke's arrangements.
As she silently followed Mikoto out of the room, Yusuke tilted his head, eyeing Tsunade with a grin.
"Well, Tsunade? She's not inferior to you, is she?"
Tsunade was momentarily stunned. A few seconds later, her cheeks flushed red as she exclaimed, "You!! Hmph—!!"
With that, she stormed out of the room in embarrassed anger.
Yusuke made no move to stop her. Watching Tsunade's retreat, he felt quite pleased with himself. He then rubbed his shoulders, feeling the tension in his muscles.
"I'm a bit sore. This journey has really jostled me..."
He was telling the truth. Due to the need to escort supplies, he had been in the carriage the entire time, which was quite tiring.
At this moment, Kushina pursed her lips and muttered softly,
"Was it really just the jostling? Hmph..."
Although her voice was very low, it still didn't escape Yusuke's ears.
"Kushina, prepare some hot water for me. Then give me a back massage." He smiled lightly.
"!!!" Hearing this, Kushina glared angrily!
But she didn't dare disobey his orders. Otherwise... there would be terrifying punishments awaiting!
During this time, she had heard many stories about Yusuke's methods from Mikoto. Although she hadn't given herself to him yet, who knew — it might happen any day now...
"Pakura, you come too." He glanced at the demure woman beside him.
Pakura's fists clenched tightly, her heart beating fast to his obvious tone of what would happen! But she had no way to refuse!

At this moment, Samui had already been led by Mikoto to an empty room.
"Thank you." Samui said softly as she sat down on the sofa.
Noticing her weakened state, Mikoto immediately poured a cup of hot water and brought over plenty of food. She then sat down next to the blonde woman and let out a soft sigh, "You've already been… intimate… with him, haven't you?"
Though intrusive, the question was necessary. She needed to gauge Samui's feelings before offering any advice. She knew Yusuke treated women he'd slept with vastly differently from others.
Looking at her, Samui realized they were in similar situations.
"Yes... Have you also been with him?"
Mikoto lowered her head, embarrassed to say it aloud.
"Yes."
"..."
An awkward silence fell between them, as if they alone could understand each other. After a while, Samui asked, her face flushed.
"Is he usually so... rough?"
Mikoto choked a little at the sudden question but quickly composed herself. Gathering courage, she replied, her face reddening, "It varies with his mood. Sometimes he's rough, sometimes gentle... but I think it also depends on... us..."
Understanding the implication in her words, Samui blushed deeper. She had already realized she enjoyed a bit more intensity in bed, but it was reassuring to know how he generally behaved.
'So he's doing this for me...' She mused, her body's aches reminding her of their encounters, 'Should I ask him to stop or...'
While Samui was lost in thought, Mikoto quickly stood up, rummaged through a nearby cabinet, and sat back down beside her.
"Here. These ointments can treat those kinds of bruises effectively." Mikoto glanced at the mark on Samui's breast, imagining there must be many more hidden, 'I didn't know he liked to bite like that...'
"Thank you." Samui nodded gently, grateful for the ointments.
Her breasts, stomach, and even her buttocks needed this treatment, as they were covered in his bite marks. She had stopped protesting against this bites when he said it was to mark her as his, but it still required attention.
"From now on, we're sisters..." Mikoto said softly.
"Mm." Samui bit her lip and nodded.
The word "sisters" now carried a deeper meaning — not just as companions in this place, but as women who shared the same man.
At this moment, Mabui, Yugito, and Tsunade arrived.
"Quickly, tell us. What's the situation in the outside ninja world?" Tsunade asked anxiously, while scrutinizing Samui.
Except for her face being slightly less attractive, in other aspects, Samui was indeed as Yusuke had claimed — not inferior to herself...
Tsunade shook her head vigorously. What on earth was she thinking?! Hmph! That damned man!! Just wait until she got the chance! Then, she'd definitely kill him with her own hands!
Samui took a deep breath and recounted the great battle between Kirigakure and Kumogakure. As the women heard about Yusuke's overwhelmingly powerful abilities and methods, they were stunned.
Though they had long known his strength was formidable, Samui's vivid descriptions of those terrifying scenes made them realize his power far exceeded their expectations. The methods he employed truly befitted someone with power surpassing any other man on the planet.
The vast Land of Lightning had been completely conquered by Yusuke in one fell swoop. The ninja village that had existed since the Warring States period — a village that had endured for decades through the First, Second, and Third Great Ninja Wars — would now be erased from the river of time, becoming part of the Land of Water.
A heavy silence fell over the room.
"That despicable Yusuke Kamizuki! I will definitely find a way to kill him!" Yugito's eyes blazed with anger. Even though he had been "magnanimous" in his invasion, she couldn't quell the hatred she felt.
Mabui and Samui also had tears in their eyes, but for different reasons, they weren't as distraught. Mabui had already relinquished her loyalty due to her feelings, and Samui had been persuaded along the way not to be so despondent. She still had her brother alive and with her in Kiri — a gift from her "Master".
Only Tsunade stood to the side, frowning and gritting her teeth. She knew that killing him was simply an impossible task.
Even if Yusuke were to remove the restraining collars from their necks and allow them to fight him at full strength, they still wouldn't be able to defeat him. The slave collars had reduced them all to weak women.
"Is there... really no way at all?" Tsunade grabbed her hair in frustration.
For the first time, she truly understood what it meant to be utterly helpless.
"Actually... there is one way. Although, it's very... ahem, never mind." Mikoto muttered as if possessed, then quickly closed her mouth.
This method was far too unrealistic. She'd better not mention it. Besides, she didn't want to voice it, as it could be considered a betrayal, even if it was a foolish idea.
"Hm? Mikoto, what method? I just heard you say you have a way!" Tsunade's keen ears caught her mumbling. She whirled around, her eyes blazing as she stared at Mikoto's face.
"Ah... Lady Tsunade... It's nothing, I didn't say anything just now..." Mikoto averted her eyes, her face a canvas of conflicting emotions. Why had she opened her mouth at all?
"Mikoto, are we still good sisters?" Tsunade grasped her right hand, her gaze piercing.
"Of course we are! Sisters forever..." Mikoto replied without hesitation.
"Then tell me what the method is." Tsunade's words carried a hint of impatience.
"I... I..." Mikoto's cheeks flushed, hesitation and conflict evident in her delicate features.
"What is this method? Is it so difficult to say?" Tsunade's brows furrowed slightly. She leaned in, whispering, "Just tell me quietly. That should be fine, right?"
"I... I'll only tell Lady Tsunade..." Mikoto relented, knowing she couldn't escape this conversation.
"Mm!" Tsunade's face lit up with anticipation.
Mikoto leaned close, whispering a few words into her ear. As soon as she finished, she blushed deeply and fled the room, leaving behind a shocked Tsunade and confused Samui and Mabui.
"What's the method? Is there a way to kill Yusuke?" Samui asked quickly.
If days ago, or if he had treated her like the horror stories she'd heard from captured kunoichi, she would have desperately wanted to know this plan, willing to sacrifice everything — even her life — for its success.
But now, thoroughly "domesticated", she felt mere curiosity. She knew that whatever Mikoto's idea was, coming from a woman who had given herself to Yusuke, it couldn't be truly diabolical or deadly.
'A plan? If I tell him about this, could he forgive me?' Meanwhile, Mabui's eyes sparkled with anticipation. A chance to prove her loyalty had arrived.
And if she combined it with what she'd gathered about Tsunade's outings in Kiri, surely he would reward her!
Tsunade, recalling Mikoto's words, gritted her teeth in frustration, "It's impossible... The method she mentioned... It's completely unrealistic! You... you'd better not think about it... Focus on recovering and improving your own strength instead."
She shook her head vigorously. The method Mikoto had just mentioned… might actually work! After all, as a medical ninja, Tsunade understood human anatomy intimately. But such a method...
She took a deep breath, then addressed Samui and Mabui, "Let's rest for now. The situation in the Land of Lightning is settled. We'll consider other options later."
"Mm." The two women nodded.
After Tsunade left, Mabui grabbed Samui's hand and whispered, "Tsunade was hiding something from us. And Mikoto's method — it might work. We should ask her directly for details when we can!"
Mabui's eyes gleamed. If she uncovered the method, she might return to the man who'd brought her to her knees!
Samui, hearing this, nodded resolutel,. "I'll follow your lead, Sister Mabui."
'Is this plan truly so lethal?' She wondered.
