Sunagakure.
Elder Chiyo had been sitting in the top position for over two months. On one hand, she placed the shinobi from her faction into the management system. On the other hand, she took Pakura to the Land of Wind's Daimyo to request funding.
Somehow, the Daimyo was suddenly very enthusiastic. He agreed to pay off their debts and also provided sufficient military funds.
Chiyo thought this was out of respect for Pakura of the Scorch Release. What she did not know was that the royal families of the Five Great Nations were all somewhat related by blood.
Through recent exchanges, they had learned that the Land of Fire had produced another Shinobi no Kami. Furthermore, this person was very easy to control.
Therefore, they all started thinking about potential dangers in times of peace, wanting their subordinate shinobi villages to develop and grow stronger. Even if they could not defeat the Land of Fire, they should not fall too far behind!
Seizing this opportunity when Chiyo came to ask for military funds, the Daimyo not only received her warmly but also took out a large sum of money for her to use in rebuilding the shinobi village and developing its military.
This overwhelmed Chiyo with favor. She quickly pledged her loyalty to the Land of Wind's Daimyo. "Chiyo of Sunagakure thanks the Daimyo for your assistance."
The Land of Wind's Daimyo waved his hand and indicated that they should just ask if they needed funds or food in the future. But he had only one requirement. Sunagakure must have the power to fight against Konoha.
Facing this requirement, Chiyo readily agreed. Although she did not expect to defeat Konoha, having the power to fight was something everyone understood.
Afterwards, returning to Sunagakure, Chiyo had her son, Chiron, take inventory of the supplies. They prepared the fifty million ryo in silver owed and had Pakura lead a team of shinobi to transport the money to Konoha.
Pakura accepted the order. Leading a twenty person team, she took the main road and arrived at the village entrance in half a day.
The guards at the village entrance, hearing that someone from Sunagakure had come, immediately reported to the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and went out to welcome them.
Ryun was accompanying Tsunade shopping when suddenly an Anbu figure appeared. "Vice Hokage sir, the Hokage has ordered me to notify you. Pakura of Sunagakure has brought the debt payment to repay."
"Repaying the debt is repaying the debt. Why notify me? Can the Hokage not handle it?" He was somewhat puzzled. Then that person said, "The legendary Sunagakure shinobi, Pakura of the Scorch Release, has requested to fight you again to wash away her shame."
Ryun was stunned. Was she truly seeking death? How dare she speak like that to him, the Vice Hokage of Konoha?
Tsunade pinched his arm. She looked at Ryun somewhat resentfully, her eyes hinting, 'This is a romantic debt you left outside the village, right. Hurry up and settle it.'
Ryun sucked in a breath, saying, "Wakatta, wakattayo." (Understood.)
Tsunade snorted, then followed Ryun to the village entrance. She wanted to see Pakura's capabilities for herself.
She knew Pakura did not have that kind of intention, but the fact that she specifically named Ryun ruined Tsunade's good mood for the entire day.
Ryun's expression was uncertain. It seemed the method of using the Sharingan to make her unconscious last time was still too gentle. This time, he would beat her until her own mother wouldn't recognize her.
Following behind the Anbu, Ryun calculated in his heart what method to use to quickly defeat and deal with Pakura.
Tsunade glanced at Ryun and snorted coldly. Although she knew Ryun was very faithful as a husband, and also knew Pakura naming him was only to wash away her shame, she couldn't help but be angry.
Ryun smiled at Tsunade. "Don't worry, fiancée. I will resolve this quickly, then continue shopping with you."
Tsunade felt a little better. She nodded lightly and looked away.
Ryun scratched his head. The points that made women jealous were always elusive to him. But since she was jealous, he had to resolve this matter properly.
He originally just wanted to send Pakura away. Today, he was sorry. He silently apologized to Pakura in his heart.
At the village entrance, Pakura shuddered. What was this? This suffocating feeling, like a python coiling around her, suddenly appeared. This was a shinobi's intuition.
Do not underestimate this intuition, because it often allows shinobi to escape danger.
Right at that moment, several shuriken shot over violently. Pakura's pupils constricted and her chakra surged.
Scorch Release, Overwhelming Steam Kill. Several orange red fireballs condensed and shot towards the shuriken.
In an instant, the shuriken turned into molten iron, dripping onto the ground with a sizzling sound.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze was grave. This Pakura's strength had increased quite a bit. But a moment later, Hiruzen Sarutobi relaxed again. No matter what kind of shinobi you are from the north, south, east, or west, you all lower your heads when you see my Lord Ryun.
Before our village's Ryun, your strength is limited.
"What petty person dares to throw hidden weapons. Come out now." Pakura directly started cursing.
The expression of the Ninja World's Number One Beautiful Back cursing was not disgusting. Instead, it gave people a feeling of cuteness.
"Oh, you don't like the greeting gift." Ryun's cold voice sounded. His figure flashed past and appeared behind Hiruzen Sarutobi. He crossed his arms and looked at this Pakura, who was known as having the Ninja World's Number One Beautiful Back.
Tsunade coughed. Only then did Ryun rein in his frivolous and arrogant expression. Ahem, this was truly the mocking nature carved into the Uchiha's very bones acting up.
But what was this about being afraid of one's wife. Shouldn't I be the master of the house. Ryun stole a glance at the Ninja World's First Peak beside him, then his expression became serious.
"You are the Pakura of the Scorch Release who wants to challenge me." Ryun frowned, remained silent for a while, then spoke. "You should leave. You are not my opponent."
"Arrogant. Last time was just me being careless, falling for your genjutsu. If you have the guts, don't use the Sharingan or the Susano'o. Use ninjutsu and taijutsu to decide the victor." Pakura started with bans, directly forbidding Ryun from using two abilities.
Tsunade also couldn't help it. Her anger surged. You challenge my husband, and you ban the Sharingan. Why don't you ban your own Scorch Release.
Seeing the First Peak, Tsunade, about to lose her temper, Ryun quickly held her by the waist to stop her from walking forward. "Ahem, wife, calm down, calm down."
This 'wife', not too loud nor too soft, audible to everyone, directly poured a bucket of water on Tsunade's raging anger. She immediately calmed down, red clouds appearing on her face.
She looked at Ryun, somewhat coy. "Wh, what nonsense are you saying. There's still a month to go."
This move blinded Hiruzen Sarutobi. "No, brother, you, you are so awesome. Can you teach this big brother your art of charming women." He thought. If the timing wasn't so inappropriate, he would probably support Ryun teaching a class.
Pakura frowned. What did she hear. Wife. Ryun had a wife. Then she sized up Tsunade. She suddenly understood something. Then she looked at her own chest.
She cursed in her heart, 'Cow. What's so good about that.' And Tsunade looked at Pakura's slender figure, which had a kind of bony beauty, especially the back exposed to the outside, which was particularly charming.
Even she, a girl, couldn't help but take a few more glances. She looked up at Ryun, only to find that Ryun's eyes were entirely on her face and that pair of peaks. The corners of her mouth turned up. She raised an eyebrow at Pakura, as if saying.
"Sorry, Lord Ryun seems to just like them big."
Pakura gritted her teeth. She actually had some thoughts about a strong person like Ryun. If she could marry him, it wouldn't be a bad strategy.
But now, she only wanted to wash away her shame. Defeat Ryun. So, she calmed the emotions in her heart. "Do you dare, yes or no."
