After finishing his "good deed," Ryōsuke naturally prepared to leave the Senju Clan estate and headed toward the main gate.
At the gate, Shizune was already waiting, her eyes vacant and listless. When she had approached Lady Tsunade's room yesterday, she had heard the constant cries coming from inside. She never expected Lady Tsunade would actually do that kind of thing with Uchiha Ryōsuke.
Lady Tsunade's cries had been full of joy, so it clearly wasn't forced; she had been a willing participant.
'Damn it.'
That man had clearly asked her to be his woman yesterday and had even done such excessive things to her. Then, he turned around and did it with another woman—and that woman was Lady Tsunade! It was simply too much.
She wanted to confront him and ask what he meant by all this, but a part of her felt a hint of regret. Why did she resist yesterday? If she hadn't resisted, perhaps she would have already become Ryōsuke's woman.
'Damn it. If I hadn't, Lady Tsunade wouldn't have beaten me to it.'
But to allow someone to play with her body the very first time they met... how could she have endured that? Besides, it was her first time. What made her even more helpless was that these two had stayed together for a day and a night. How could they have been so intimate for so long?
'This kind of treatment should have been mine to enjoy.'
Just then, Ryōsuke walked over and saw Shizune at the gate.
"Shizune, why do you look so upset?" he asked.
Shizune's expression immediately soured even further. 'You actually have the nerve to ask me why I look upset?'
"Why did you do that with Tsunade?" she questioned.
She was clearly the one he had approached first.
Seeing her like this, Ryōsuke understood that she knew about his encounter with Tsunade. He spoke comfortingly, "In truth, the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan share the same ancestor. Due to certain reasons, we fought each other for generations, leading to the deaths of many clansmen. This was an effort to end the strife between our two families."
Shizune's eyes widened. She had no idea that the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan had such a connection. Weren't they basically brother clans? Killing each other like that truly shouldn't have happened.
However, she was still unconvinced. "Even if you wanted to end the feud, there was no need to do... that."
She felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart. The more she thought about how long they had been together, the angrier she got.
Ryōsuke said helplessly, "There is no better way than this. The two clans likely won't have conflicts anymore."
Shizune still said poutily, "Then what about me? You were the one who asked me to be your woman, yet now you go and find other women."
Her eyes were nearly brimming with tears of frustration. Seeing the tears in Shizune's eyes, Ryōsuke felt a pang of pity and pulled her into a hug.
"What are you thinking? Naturally, you are my woman as well."
The anger in Shizune's heart vanished instantly. She stared with wide eyes, unable to believe what she was hearing. "What did you say? You want to take both of us? You're so greedy and wicked!"
Ryōsuke replied nonchalantly, "For someone as exceptional as me, isn't it normal to have a few more women?"
Shizune was startled, and an even more troubling thought occurred to her. "Don't tell me you have other women besides us? Aren't you afraid Lady Tsunade will beat you to a pulp if she finds out?"
Ryōsuke stated firmly, "For someone as exceptional as me, how could I be so pathetic as to only have a few women?"
"As for being afraid of Tsunade, that's impossible. She is my woman; why would I be afraid?"
Shizune felt that his words actually made some sense. Uchiha Ryōsuke's combat power was currently so high that he was famous throughout the ninja world. As the leader of the Uchiha Clan, it didn't seem impossible for such a powerful man to have multiple women.
She couldn't help but grab onto Ryōsuke, her face flushing. "I want to be Ryōsuke's woman too."
She had accidentally let Tsunade get ahead of her, and she felt deep regret. Ryōsuke was so outstanding now that there was no telling how many others would come after him; she couldn't afford to hesitate any longer.
Ryōsuke looked at Shizune, feeling pleased. She was a good woman who wouldn't get caught up in petty jealousy.
"Where is your room?"
He might as well take Shizune today to prevent her from being sad and lonely. Shizune pointed toward a house that was different from the one Tsunade was in. Ryōsuke immediately picked her up and headed toward it.
By evening, as the sun began to set, Ryōsuke looked at Shizune, whose face was still flushed red beside him.
Shizune's current combat strength was likely somewhere between Chūnin and Jōnin. He wondered what kind of benefits she would bring him. Her body wasn't as resilient as Tsunade's; she couldn't handle more than five or six rounds. Perhaps he was just too vigorous.
The boost to his chakra today was significant. It seemed he would need to find more "new resources" in the future. Fortunately, there were still many people in the village he could take in.
Unsure if Tsunade was awake yet, he dressed himself and quickly went out to buy three dinners—one for Tsunade and one for Shizune, so they could eat their fill when they woke up.
The third portion was for himself. After eating quickly, he still felt a bit tired, so he stayed in Shizune's bed to continue sleeping.
On the other side, after an afternoon of rest, Tsunade slowly woke up. Her spirit felt much better. It was undeniable that a woman needed a man's nourishment.
She saw the dinner and noticed it didn't look like Shizune's cooking; that man must have gone out to buy it. A sweet feeling rose in her heart. At least the guy had done something right. The Uchiha Clan treated their women quite well.
However, his philosophy of relying solely on power instead of cooperation was definitely wrong. She had to correct it. She was confident that she could set him straight in bed. Men would agree to anything while in bed.
She had to ensure he possessed a correct set of values—that even with great martial force, one must still cooperate with others.
