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

Kurenai Yuhi always felt that the other person's gaze was a bit strange, as if they were appraising a commodity waiting to be sold.

That gaze felt like it wanted to strip me naked...

She forced herself to ask, "Your Majesty...May I ask who you are?"

“One of my concubines!” Di Yan’s voice was filled with sorrow. “She can’t find her way home.”

Kurenai's lips twitched. Looking for concubines?

Is this some kind of ridiculous nonsense? He's a Jonin, after all...

Just then, Di Yan's next words rang out:

"Oh, right, the concubine I lost, her name was... Kurenai Yuhi!"

Di Yan pronounced the name almost word by word.

quiet!

The main hall was deathly silent.

Emperor Yan's words, "The concubines I lost are like the setting sun's crimson glow," struck like a thunderbolt.

It exploded right next to Kurenai's ear.

The shock left Kurenai's mind blank, and even her heartbeat seemed to skip a few beats.

.......

2. The Lost Concubine; Mangekyou Sharingan

"What……"

Kurenai instinctively took a half step back.

The color drained from his face, leaving only an unbelievable pallor.

absurd!

An overwhelming sense of absurdity instantly overwhelmed her.

A dignified elite Jonin of Konoha, and the instructor of Team 8.

She was actually publicly declared by the "Emperor" of the Land of Fire to be his... runaway concubine?

"Pfft!"

Kiba Inuzuka's laughter broke the deathly silence at the most inopportune moment.

He scratched his head, trying to dispel the suffocating atmosphere, and forced a dry laugh:

"Haha, Your Majesty, you're quite the joker!"

"There are so many people with the same name."

"You must be looking for another Kurenai Yuhi, right?"

"Right, Teacher Hong?"

He looked at Kurenai, hoping to get her agreement.

However, Kurenai seemed not to hear him.

Her gaze was fixed on Emperor Yan on the throne.

A chilling sensation rapidly crept up my spine.

Something is wrong!

Something is wrong!

Di Yan's gaze... it was definitely not a joke!

It was a mixture of possessiveness driven by an inescapable will, a cold scrutiny, and...

A twisted excitement, like looking at something lost and then regained.

Hinata's Byakugan had already been activated.

She keenly noticed the subtle changes in Di Yan's chakra.

It was a deep, viscous chakra imbued with intense negative emotions.

This instilled fear in her instinctively, and her body began to tremble slightly.

Shino's sunglasses could barely conceal the shock in his eyes.

Countless parasites thrashed about beneath his wide robes, emitting a faint buzzing sound.

That was an instinctive reaction to sensing extreme danger.

"His Majesty,"

Kurenai forced down her turbulent emotions, her voice trembling slightly.

"This joke isn't funny. I am Kurenai Yuhi, a ninja from Konohagakure."

"I'm here on the Hokage's orders to carry out a mission. Please... don't joke around."

"Please tell us the real mission objective."

She straightened her back, trying to draw a line using her identity and position.

"Return?"

Di Yan chuckled softly.

The laughter echoed through the empty hall, carrying a chilling resonance.

He slowly rose from his throne.

The dark dragon robe flowed with a dark golden luster as he moved. "Red, you're always so stubborn."

His tone carried an eerie intimacy.

It was as if she were blaming a capricious lover.

"If I say you are my concubine, then you are."

"What? You dare disobey my orders? I am the Emperor of the Land of Fire!"

Di Yan's tone became more forceful, carrying an undeniable pressure.

"As a Konoha ninja, I only obey the Hokage!"

Upon hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi retorted sharply, "Your Majesty should know that the Hokage will not tolerate your misbehavior."

Kurenai Yuhi's chakra began to surge uncontrollably within her body.

The hand seals for the illusion spell in his hand were almost complete.

She paused, then added, "Your Majesty, please have some self-respect! Otherwise..."

"What else?"

The smile on Di Yan's face vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling coldness.

He took a step forward.

That step seemed to tread upon the very fabric of space.

Instantly closing the distance with the Kurenai Yuhi squad, bringing an overwhelming sense of pressure.

"Otherwise, are you going to use your... cute illusions to deal with your 'master'?"

Just as Kurenai Yuhi was gathering chakra, preparing to sternly refuse and warn...

Di Yan's eyes, which were originally as deep as the night sky.

Something changed suddenly!

A strange, crimson hue, seemingly formed from the purest malice, suddenly exploded in his eyes.

The red color instantly devoured the original pupil color, like a burning infernal fire.

What made the red sunset even more utterly devastated was...

At its crimson core, the jet-black magatama spun, twisted, and reformed wildly!

At that moment, Kurenai's heart felt as if it had been gripped tightly by an icy hand, and it stopped beating!

What did she see?

This is……

Sharingan?

Mangekyō Sharingan?

She had met those eyes before, when Itachi Uchiha returned to the village.

She, who prided herself on being a master of illusion, suffered a complete defeat that time...

"Write...Sharingan?"

Kiba Inuzuka cried out in alarm.

Akamaru let out a pitiful whimper, tucked its tail between its legs, and was so terrified that it almost collapsed to the ground!

"Impossible... the Uchiha clan..."

In Hinata's Byakugan vision, the chakra radiance emanating from those Mangekyou Sharingan was like a tangible dark sun.

It carried a terrifying pressure that could devour all life.

This made it almost impossible for her to maintain her pupil technique, and her body swayed precariously.

Shino's sunglasses could not completely conceal the dramatic change in his expression.

The parasites retreated frantically into his body as if they had encountered a natural enemy.

His voice was extremely hoarse: "Sharingan...confirmed...danger!"

He finally understood.

The deaths of the thirty-six heirs of that great man were perhaps no accident!

The "emperor" before us is a monster in human skin!

Kurenai Yuhi's face turned ashen, and she froze on the spot. "You...you're from the Uchiha clan?"

"Who says that only members of the Uchiha clan can possess the Sharingan?"

Di Yan's voice became unusually low, "Now..."

Those spinning kaleidoscopes were fixed on Kurenai Yuhi's horrified face.

“My ‘Red’, it’s time for you to go home.”

“Fulfill your duties as a ‘concubine’…”

The air freezes.

However, Kurenai's reaction was absolutely exemplary, setting a high bar for top-tier Jonin.

The moment Di Yan's two eerie kaleidoscopes appeared.

The intense sense of crisis was like being doused with ice water.

In a mere instant, Kurenai Yuhi almost instinctively mobilized all her chakra, her hands rapidly forming hand seals:

"Magic·Tree Binding Killing!"

A powerful defensive and binding illusion spell is instantly formed.

Intangible spiritual energy is like a resilient vine.

They attempted to entangle and interfere with Di Yan's will.

Buy yourself and your companions even a second to catch your breath!

However, her Indian style was just formed.

The chakra hasn't fully surged out yet...

poof...
