"Me?" Sasame already knew this, so he wasn't surprised. He teased, "Lord Jiraiya thinks highly of me."
"You actually don't care at all about the Great Sage Toad's prophecy?" Tsunade glanced at Sasame's calm face and asked. From what she knew of him, she could tell he was indifferent. This surprised her. The Three Great Sage Regions were called "Sage" because of their extremely high status in the hearts of many ninjas. If one learned Sage Mode, they could instantly become one of the top powerhouses in the ninja world. Even without talent, they could gain immense improvement through the powerful summoning animals of the Three Great Sage Regions. Not to mention the Great Sage Toad, whose prophecy technique had never failed, earning the admiration of many, including Jiraiya.
"Why should I care?" Sasame chuckled, rubbing her toes. "I'm a contractor of Shikkotsu Forest, not Mount Myōboku. If I listened to the Great Sage Toad's prophecy, the Slug Sage would definitely be angry."
"That sounds quite reasonable," Tsunade closed her eyes, enjoying his massage. "But if there truly is a Child of Prophecy, I also think it's you."
"Really?" Sasame stared at the curves of her body, rising and falling with her breath. "I'm not interested in being the Child of Prophecy."
"I thought so too," Tsunade's lips pursed, revealing a slight smile. When Jiraiya came to talk to her, she had already guessed Sasame's reaction.
"He said he wants to take you as his student," Tsunade shifted her body, moving closer to him.
"He certainly dares to dream," Sasame retorted. "Even if I were willing, what could he teach me?" Tsunade didn't mind his disrespect towards Jiraiya; instead, she smiled.
"I also don't want to share my student, because you belong to me."
"If you suddenly start saying sweet things, I won't be able to control myself," Sasame raised an eyebrow. Tsunade immediately opened her eyes and saw his half-smile. She glared at him. "When talking to me, don't think about those unnecessary things."
"You mean I can think whatever I want after we're done talking?" Sasame quickly grasped the key point.
"..." Tsunade frowned, her eyes becoming dangerous. She kicked him directly with her bare foot. "You're so glib!" Sasame caught her foot and rubbed it.
"Foot fetishist," Tsunade snorted softly, but did nothing else.
"Sister, anything else to talk about?" Sasame tilted his head, his hands still gently squeezing her fair feet.
"Besides the Child of Prophecy, Jiraiya is looking for a ninja who can destroy Mount Myōboku," Tsunade said without hesitation. Jiraiya might have been quite important in her heart once, but now he was completely incomparable to Sasame. She didn't think twice about betraying Mount Myōboku.
"The Great Sage Toad is so powerful, who could destroy Mount Myōboku?" Sasame suspected this prophecy referred to Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. If the original work's setting was accurate, the Great Sage Toad's strength was no less than the Sage of Six Paths'. Therefore, he currently couldn't defeat it. Unless he brought Ōtsutsuki Kaguya with him.
"I don't know," Tsunade shook her head. "But the Great Sage Toad's prophecy won't be wrong."
"If Mount Myōboku is truly destroyed, will it affect us?" Sasame observed her expression, asking tentatively.
"It wouldn't affect Konoha Village, but it might affect Shikkotsu Forest," Tsunade said with a solemn expression. "The Three Great Sage Regions have always watched out for each other."
"That's true," Sasame mused. There must be a connection between the Three Great Sage Regions. If Mount Myōboku faced great danger, the other two Sage Regions would likely come to help. Hmm, it seems I need to plan this carefully. After all, it was all Destiny Value. Especially Mount Myōboku; it had quite a few named toads. Ryūchi Cave also had a few. Ahem. And they were beautiful snake yokai in human form. Sasame's eyes shifted. Should he be Xu Xian or Fahai?
"Um... dinner's ready." Shizune walked out of the kitchen, looking at the two on the sofa, a strange emotion flashing in her eyes.
"Shizune-san, you're here too," Sasame genuinely hadn't noticed her.
"..." Shizune was speechless for a moment.
"What kind of way is that to talk?" Tsunade pulled her feet from his lap, then got up. "Wash your hands and eat."
"Shizune-san, I'm sorry," Sasame said with a smile.
"It's... it's fine," Shizune trembled slightly, quickly averting her gaze. Tsunade glanced at her, seemingly noticing something, but she said nothing. Sasame went to wash his hands. On the dining table, all the dishes were served.
"Let's eat!" The three said in unison, then picked up their chopsticks. Halfway through the meal, Sasame glanced at Tsunade, then extended a foot and placed it on her thigh. Shizune suddenly started coughing, immediately grabbing a glass of water and chugging it. Sasame was slightly startled, instinctively looking under the table. For some reason, Shizune's legs had extended quite a bit forward, perfectly blocking Tsunade. Thus, he stepped on the wrong person. This situation was a bit awkward.
"Shizune, did you choke?" Tsunade looked up and asked.
"N-no... I'm fine," Shizune's face flushed, and she quickly shook her head.
"Take it easy," Tsunade noticed her expression, reached out, and patted her back, saying with concern.
"Okay," Shizune nodded, but her heart was pounding. Was he doing it on purpose? Or accidentally? But the next second, she felt Sasame's foot retract. A sudden feeling of loss surged within her. Her previously rapid heartbeat returned to normal.
Dinner ended. The silent Shizune immediately cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen.
"Go bathe," Sasame picked up Tsunade.
"No naughty business today," Tsunade immediately anticipated his intentions.
"Then what do I do?" Sasame bent down, pressed his face against hers, and said in a pouting, wronged tone, "You can't be so heartless."
"I'll use my foot," Tsunade narrowed her eyes, hugged his neck, and snorted softly. "You're lucky."
Morning. Sasame opened his eyes. He looked down at Tsunade, who was clinging to him, and couldn't help but smile.
"What time is it?" Tsunade groggily shifted, then frowned. "My feet are so sore."
"I'll give you a massage," Sasame reached out and kneaded the fair, tender thigh draped over him.
"Alright, go to work," Tsunade released him, then pulled the blanket over herself and wrapped it around her. "I want to keep sleeping." Sasame shook his head, having no choice but to leave the room.
"Shizune-san, good morning."
"Morning," Shizune subconsciously glanced at the tightly closed door behind him. Is Lady Tsunade unable to get up again?
"Sister is going to sleep a bit longer," after their relationship was exposed, Sasame didn't care about titles anymore.
"Okay," Shizune nodded. She actually quite liked the title "sister." After all, they were both "sisters," and their generational standing wasn't far off. Shizune immediately lowered her head, her face burning hot. What am I even thinking?
Sasame glanced at her, not thinking much of it. After breakfast, he went to the Hokage Office. After dealing with some simple matters, he appeared at Hozuki Castle.
"Apologies, Musashi and Kojiro are nowhere to be found," Mui said, his face showing shame. "I don't know what method they used to break my Fire Release: Heavenly Prison." To be honest, he truly hadn't expected the two of them to escape.
"It's fine; let them be," Sasame could guess the reason. It was definitely Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki's covert assistance.
"Ryūzetsu has been captured by me," Mui said, breathing a sigh of relief. "You can see her anytime."
"Take me to her," Sasame nodded. Mui immediately led the way. Before long, they arrived at a cell.
"Bastard!" Ryūzetsu noticed Mui and immediately erupted with strong killing intent. She thought he had sacrificed Muku to open the Box of Ultimate Bliss. Therefore, she infiltrated Hozuki Castle, wanting to kill him for revenge and destroy the Box of Ultimate Bliss. In fact, she wasn't wrong. Mui's actions did lead to Muku being absorbed into the Box of Ultimate Bliss. After losing his son, he realized that what he cared about most was family, so he wanted to revive Muku.
Sasame observed Ryūzetsu. She was quite good-looking. But what was most striking was her white hair and eyes. Her eyes were completely white, but with two rings. One more ring would be the Rinnegan, two less would be the Byakugan. Unfortunately, it was neither here nor there.
"Do you want to see the Box of Ultimate Bliss?" Sasame asked.
"Who are you?" Ryūzetsu was slightly startled, observing him, and asked. She didn't remember any masked ninja in the Hidden Grass Village or Hozuki Castle.
"You don't want to?" Sasame said calmly. "Then you can stay here until you die."
"Wait!" Ryūzetsu gritted her teeth and quickly said, "I want to see it!" The Box of Ultimate Bliss was her original goal. Besides, she had a premonition that if she didn't agree, she might truly be imprisoned for life. In that case, how could she get revenge? Mui stepped forward and opened the cell.
"..." Ryūzetsu's face showed confusion. Mui actually listens to this mysterious powerhouse's commands? What's going on? A great unease made her temporarily forget to act against Mui.
"Mui, lead the way. We're going to the Box of Ultimate Bliss," Sasame instructed.
"Yes," Mui nodded and walked to the very front. Ryūzetsu stared blankly at this scene, growing increasingly panicked.
The three quickly arrived at an underground base. Sasame finally saw the true appearance of the Box of Ultimate Bliss. It was incredibly ugly. Pitch black, with four human faces. It could easily be used as a horror movie prop. Sasame took a step forward, and Sage Mode activated. Immediately, he felt countless negative emotions. He was right; the Box of Ultimate Bliss was indeed related to Yin Release. At the same time, a whisper entered his ear. It carried infinite temptation, as if telling him that as long as he opened the Box of Ultimate Bliss, any wish could be granted. Sasame suddenly raised an eyebrow and said, "Since you're here, come out." Mui and Ryūzetsu were startled and quickly looked around.
"Were we discovered?" Naruto Uzumaki glanced at the three people not far away, especially the unknown masked ninja. But to his surprise, only Mui showed malice towards him. The other two did not.
"Let's go," Sasuke Uchiha dispelled his disguise and activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, glaring at Mui. Previously, he couldn't use chakra, but now it was different. He was going to teach this damned guy a lesson.
"So it's a ninja of the Uchiha clan," Mui's heart skipped a beat, but his eyes subconsciously looked at Sasame. There must be something fishy here!
