Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 320 One Day and One Night

"You're back already? Have you learned anything about how couples should get along?"

Uchiha Yoichi feigned surprise and asked, in fact, he had already sent a clone to follow Kaguya, but he did not expect Kaguya to be so naive as to interrupt his late-night business and go in to ask questions directly.

"I don't understand why couples would do that kind of thing!"

Kaguya Otsutsuki shook her head and said to Yoichi Uchiha, "They say it's for the sake of procreation, but I can use my ability to directly create children, so those rituals can be skipped. As for the others, they're not very useful for resisting them."

"Can marriage truly help us fight off enemies?"

"sure."

Uchiha Yoichi answered with a serious expression, then stood up and walked to Kaguya Otsutsuki's side. He quickly noticed that Kaguya Otsutsuki became nervous because of his approach, and said, "See, you're nervous because I'm close. This shows that we have too little trust. How can we possibly join forces to fight the enemy when they come with such a lack of trust?"

"You should be wary of me right now. How can we guarantee that we'll work together against an enemy in a relationship filled with distrust? Just like with your former comrade, were you truly willing to help him fight his enemy?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki remained silent after hearing this. Most of what she was thinking had already been guessed by Yoichi Uchiha, so she didn't know what to say.

However, she did not intend to ambush Uchiha Yoichi; she simply felt that Uchiha Yoichi was very strong and that she would feel very uncomfortable around him.

After a while, Datong Mu Huiyan asked.

"Does performing that kind of ritual increase trust between the two parties?"

"Of course you can. Think about it, Kaguya. If the two of you are embracing each other and you don't take advantage of such a good opportunity, doesn't that mean you can trust each other forever and never worry about each other again?"

Although what Uchiha Yoichi said was nonsense, it made some sense to Kaguya, who knew nothing about it.

"It seems...it's exactly as you said."

Uchiha Yoichi continued, "Trust is the foundation for cooperation between the two sides. Without trust, even cooperation is difficult, let alone what follows."

Upon hearing this, Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded in agreement. She couldn't quite describe the feeling, but it made some sense.

Then, Kaguya looked at Uchiha Yoichi with her pure white eyes and asked, "Do we need to do that kind of thing? A ritual between husband and wife?"

Kaguya found the ritual rather boring, but if it could increase the trust between her and Uchiha Yoichi, she was willing to do it.

"Now is not the time. You probably can't accept such close physical contact all at once, but we can start in other ways, like holding hands."

After Uchiha Yang finished speaking, he took Kaguya Otsutsuki's hand.

Although Kaguya realized what was happening, she did not resist. Instead, she placed her smooth, snow-white hand in Uchiha Yoichi's hand. She wanted to increase the trust between them as soon as possible so that they could join forces to deal with the Otsutsuki.

"They're so easy to fool."

After taking Kaguya Otsutsuki's hand, Uchiha Yoichi couldn't help but think to himself that Kaguya's knowledge was far less than that of ordinary people. She was easily frightened by news of the enemy and obediently fell into his trap.

Moreover, her hands were very smooth, and her skin was as white as snow. After Uchiha Yoichi took Kaguya's hand, he quickly had other thoughts and his hands became restless, slowly stroking Kaguya's jade hands.

Kaguya Otsutsuki couldn't help but wonder, "Will this really increase trust between us?"

Then, her clear white pupils looked at Uchiha Yoichi's face, and with his hand in hers, she seemed less nervous.

Favorability: 56

Favorability: 57

Favorability: 58

After holding hands for a while, Kaguya's favorability towards him increased by three points. Uchiha Yoichi was quite satisfied with this progress, especially since it was only the first day.

Then, seeing that his affection for Kaguya was no longer increasing, Uchiha Yang knew that this was the limit, so he said, "Kaguya, we need to do more things as husband and wife."

"Okay, then I'll do as you say."

Kaguya nodded and said that she didn't know what to do, but now that she had someone with the same level of strength as her who was wholeheartedly helping her with ideas, she naturally listened to his advice.

Furthermore, under the subtle influence of Uchiha Yoichi's mental power, Otsutsuki Kaguya's dependence on him will increase.

However, this method is only suitable for Kaguya, since she won't encounter anyone as naive and inexperienced as her again.

------------

In the days that followed, Uchiha Yoichi, in his capacity as the emperor of the Land of Ancestors, ordered his samurai to begin conquering other neighboring countries.

There are many countries here. Within a thousand miles of the Ancestral Kingdom alone, there are more than thirty countries. Further away, there are even larger countries, and within those countries, there are many so-called Onmyoji, priestesses, and warriors of the gods.

Although they are called warriors of the gods, in Uchiha Yoichi's view, these people are warriors who can resonate with the energy of nature.

After healing all the samurai in the Land of Ancestors, Uchiha Yoichi gave them a bit of chakra and sent them to conquer the nearby countries.

He feared that the Onmyoji might have special abilities to hide, and these people seemed to have rarely appeared since being taught a lesson by Kaguya and Isshiki.

Therefore, using ordinary samurai to lure him out is a good method. After the Onmyoji appears, Uchiha Yoichi will make his move again.

With chakra, the samurai of the Land of Ancestors were no ordinary people to deal with. Their strength and speed increased five to ten times, and one person could easily defeat more than a dozen people. In just two days, they destroyed the Land of Ancestors.

At this time, destroying a country is very easy. All you need to do is kill the daimyo of another country and take his guards into your fold, and that country will be destroyed.

Furthermore, Uchiha Yoichi only needed to expand the territory ruled by the Land of Ancestors; he didn't need detailed governance or development. The land was still in the most basic agricultural stage, so there wasn't much room for Uchiha Yoichi to develop.

Countries with larger territories might be a little better off, but they would only have more buildings, more maids and guards, and better living conditions.

Under Uchiha Yoichi's orders, the guards of the Land of Ancestors were dispatched again on the fifth day, this time to the Land of Yang on the other side. It only took them two days to wipe them out.

After incorporating the guards of the Yang Kingdom, the Zu Kingdom now has more than a hundred guards, making it a veritable major power in the vicinity.

Moreover, the number of civilian households under its rule who paid grain taxes reached as many as two thousand, making it a veritable "great power" in the vicinity.

Uchiha Yang Yi-nan did not give his guards much rest time, and when he was conquering other countries, he only ordered his guards to kill the enemy daimyo and bring back the administrators.

After a few days of rest, we'll set off to eliminate other countries.

However, the later you go, the longer it will take, since a round trip takes quite a bit of time.

Uchiha Yoichi's main task, however, was to win over Kaguya.

Now that Uchiha Yoichi has told Kaguya his name, Kaguya will also call him by his name, although she hasn't mentioned the Uchiha surname.

"Yang Yi, how much longer will this take?"

Kaguya nestled in Uchiha Yoichi's arms, feeling somewhat awkward, and asked, "This is much harder than holding hands." Moreover, after pulling Kaguya into his embrace, Uchiha Yoichi also put his arm around her waist.

It's just that Kaguya's two horns are a bit annoying.

"In a little while, this is something necessary between husband and wife, Kaguya. Do you see other couples doing this here too? It increases trust between them."

"But isn't the last ceremony the most important thing between husband and wife? Yangyi, we can go straight to that."

Kaguya suddenly looked up and spoke to Uchiha Yoichi with a serious expression, but her horns almost bumped into Uchiha Yoichi's chin.

Kaguya's words startled Uchiha Yang, but he understood when he realized that Kaguya knew nothing.

"Are you really going to go through with that ceremony?"

Uchiha Yoichi glanced at the strategy guide and was presented with two choices, both of which would eventually lead to winning Kaguya's heart.

"Yes, let's complete the marriage ceremony as soon as possible, so that we can better deal with the enemy when they come."

Kaguya's tone was very serious. She had been with Uchiha Yoichi for more than a month, and during this time, their interactions, holding hands, hugging, and other actions had gradually increased Kaguya's affection for Uchiha Yoichi.

Although Kaguya is unaware of it, her affection for Uchiha Yoichi has already reached 71.

"Alright then, let's go back inside and hold the ceremony."

After Uchiha Yang finished speaking, he picked up Kaguya and walked into the house.

Back inside, Uchiha Yoichi closed the doors and windows tightly, but it was morning and the room was still very bright.

"Kaguya, you know what married couples should do, right?"

Unaware of what awaited her, Kaguya nodded and said to Uchiha Yoichi, "I know. After we complete that procreation ritual, we will be a complete couple."

"Here I come."

Uchiha Yoichi then alternated between activating his ability and deactivating his succubus body, using his own efforts to exercise and bring Kaguya's body to its peak once again.

The sound continued even at noon.

As the sun sets in the west, the common people of the Land of Ancestors finish their farming and the samurai finish their training, but sounds can still be heard coming from the room where Uchiha Yoichi and Daidoki Teru are.

There was no one around, so no one heard it.

The sound continued throughout the night, albeit intermittently. However, the bright lights inside the room and the two figures that changed multiple times were enough to prove that Uchiha Yoichi and Otsutsuki Kaguya had not rested all night.

The sounds inside the house gradually subsided by the next morning, after noon, and then again until sunset.

Uchiha Yoichi was covered in sweat as he lay on the bed with Kaguya in his arms. This was the fourth set of bedding they had used; the previous three sets had become too worn out from their activity.

The bed was also in a sorry state, but Uchiha Yoichi was too lazy to get up and change it, and Kaguya was asleep on top of him.

"How long has it been?"

After taking a long breath, Uchiha Yoichi looked out the window at the setting sun, somewhat forgetting whether it was the first or the second day.

He only used Yama-Wa-Yama-Mikoto once during this exercise, and afterwards relied entirely on his own recovery ability to exhaust Kaguya to this extent.

It was really tiring, but it was also really comfortable, and the biggest gain was Kaguya.

"Let's rest for a while before talking about it, and Kaguya needs to rest too."

Uchiha Yoichi was also a little tired, so he held Kaguya and went to sleep to rest.

Writing pure romance novels is so tiring, I need to finish this one quickly and move on to Boruto: Cowboy Bebop as soon as possible.
