What's wrong with having a large harem if you're the emperor of the ninja world?

Hinata is right here!

In the same room, on the same bed...

"Let me go! Bastard!"

Kurenai lowered her voice, her tone filled with extreme anger and fear.

He pushed hard against Di Yan's chest with both hands.

Its legs also tried to curl up and kick.

She dared not shout.

He was afraid of waking Hinata and letting her see him in such a wretched and humiliating state!

However, Emperor Yan's power was as unshakeable as a mountain.

His movements even carried a chilling "mechanical" quality.

Precise, stable, and beyond question.

He easily suppressed all of Kurenai Yuhi's struggles.

Those eyes appeared even deeper and darker in the moonlight.

He stared at her face, which was flushed with anger and shame, as if gazing into a cold pool.

"Struggle, Red."

Di Yan's voice was deep and calm.

It's as if I'm stating a trivial fact.

"The more you resist, the more excited I become."

His breathing quickened slightly, brushing against the sensitive earlobe of the evening sun.

“However,” he changed his tone, a cruel mockery in his eyes, glancing at Hinata sleeping soundly not far away, “are you sure… you want to continue?”

"If you make any more noise, your precious student might wake up."

This phrase is like the most effective spell.

It instantly shattered Kurenai Yuhi's last shred of courage to resist!

All her struggling movements froze.

My body felt as if all my strength had been drained.

She lay limply on the soft bed.

She bit her lower lip so hard it almost drew blood.

Only then did he manage to forcefully suppress the screams and curses that were about to burst from his throat.

Tears streamed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.

It slid down his temples, wetting the strands of hair at his sideburns.

cannot……

Hinata can't see this... she can't bear this terrible shadow.

A profound sense of humiliation and the instinct to protect his disciples.

A fierce battle raged within Kurenai Yuhi's heart.

Ultimately, the latter prevailed with an overwhelming advantage.

For Hinata's sake, so as not to inflict another irreparable wound on her young heart.

Kurenai chose to... silently endure it.

She closed her eyes and buried her head deep in the pillow.

His body trembled violently from extreme shame, anger, and pain.

She stopped struggling and made no more noise.

It's just like a puppet that has lost its soul.

He allowed Di Yan to do whatever he pleased.

The suppressed sobs, like the mournful cries of a small animal, deep in his throat, were absorbed by the pillow.

The moonlight still fell coldly.

It illuminated the silent atrocity on the bed.

Di Yan's movements remained "mechanical".

It carried a coldness of having completed a task.

Kurenai Yuhi, once a proud and confident elite Jonin of Konoha.

Now, all I can do is stand here in the cold moonlight, in the dreams of my disciple, who is so close to me...

Silently enduring the double torture of body and soul.

Her knuckles turned white from gripping the bed sheet so tightly.

It was as if they wanted to crush all the pain and despair in their palms.

[Ding! You have successfully communicated with Kurenai Yuhi, resulting in a significant increase in your spiritual power (Yin energy)!]

.......

18. Write a letter to Ino-Shika-Cho; Ino is the new prey.

Time became blurred and lengthy in the silent torment.

Kurenai's consciousness was like a candle flickering in the wind.

The mind gradually becomes numb.

All that remains is endless emptiness and coldness.

She was like a shell whose soul had been emptied.

Just as she was in a daze.

Di Yan's voice, like a demon's whisper, rang in her ears again, clear enough to chill her to the bone:

“Red,” Di Yan’s voice carried a languid aftertaste and an undeniable command, “write a letter. To your former lover, Sarutobi Asuma.”

Kurenai's unfocused pupils suddenly contracted.

This name was like a rusty, blunt knife, stabbing her already riddled heart!

Asma...

That man with the cigarette in his mouth, the hearty smile, the one who once made her heart flutter, the one she fought alongside...

This name was mentioned by Di Yan at this moment.

It's like rubbing salt into a wound.

It's a blatant humiliation!

She had just started dating Asuma, hadn't even held his hand, and then he...

He was already tainted and no longer worthy of Asuma...

An indescribable bitterness and sorrow welled up in her heart.

Her relationship with Asma is now a thing of the past.

But that friendship was pure and warm.

Now, she is mired in a quagmire, suffering both physically and mentally.

Di Yan, however, intends to exploit this long-buried past relationship...

"The letter contained very little..."

Di Yan's voice was cold and precise, as if he were deploying a battle plan, "Just say that your mission was thwarted and you are trapped in the palace of the Fire Kingdom."

"Your eighth squad is surrounded by an unknown force, and the situation is critical. Request his assistance..."

"No, it was a plea to him to bring his most trusted subordinates, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, to come and provide immediate support and rescue."

He paused, a cruel smile of absolute control curling at the corner of his lips:

"Remember, the wording must be desperate enough, helpless enough."

"Make your Asuma... anxious and impatient."

Kurenai Yuhi's heart sank completely into the icy sea.

Pig-deer-butterfly?

Di Yan's true targets are Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, and Akimichi Choji.

A flash of lightning suddenly struck Kurenai's mind.

Connect all the clues together.

First it was Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame, and now it's Ino-Shika-Cho?

This ruler of the Land of Fire is preparing to undermine the support of the major ninja clans of Konoha.

His goal... is to destroy Konoha?

Asma... was merely a tool he used to deliver this deadly bait!

"Don't think about it!"

Kurenai Yuhi suddenly turned her head.

Those red eyes, swollen from tears but still burning with an indomitable flame, stared intently at Di Yan.

Her voice was hoarse but resolute:

"I will never help you frame my comrades from Konoha!"

"Furthermore, I would never... use Asuma!"

She would rather die than be an accomplice!

Di Yan seemed to have anticipated her reaction, and there was no anger on his face.

Instead, it has a playful, cat-and-mouse feel to it.

He didn't look at Kurenai, but slowly extended his hand.

It carried a chilling casualness.

He gently pinched Hinata Hyuga's soft, smooth cheek, which was still fast asleep on the bed next to him, with his fingertips!

This movement was extremely slight.

But it instantly pierced through all of Kurenai Yuhi's defenses!

"you……"

Kurenai let out a short, sharp scream, as if she had been choked.

She practically sprang from the bed.

Ignoring her physical pain and weakness, she pounced like a mother animal protecting her cubs.

He used his own battered body to protect the sleeping Hinata.

Her eyes were filled with extreme fear and anger.

He stared intently at Di Yan's hand.

It looked as if it might transform into sharp claws and tear Hinata apart at any moment!

"Don't touch her! You monster!"
