Born into a great clan, she understood darkness and politics even better.
Having personally witnessed how powerful Lucian was, in Tsunade's eyes, Konoha was afraid of him.
So they had given up on her, indirectly gifting her to Lucian.
"That's right. The Hokage is now a village chief..."
Tsunade laughed self-deprecatingly, feeling dejected.
To fall from the respected Princess of Konoha to a prisoner was a psychological blow that ordinary people could not experience.
There was no escaping the demon king's clutches.
Even if Konoha's intentions were good.
She could never go back.
At that moment, Yahiko walked in, "Lord Lucian, a man named Jiraiya is here to see you. He... wants to join the Wandenreich and has brought a great gift."
Tsunade: "..."
Orochimaru: "..."
What the hell is Jiraiya up to?
Tsunade and Orochimaru were stunned.
Is he serious? Is he trying so hard to get into the demon king's den?
"That guy isn't here to save me, is he? No, although he's a bit of an idiot, he's definitely not that stupid..."
Tsunade couldn't understand Jiraiya's thinking at all.
Orochimaru: ...This kid is a lost cause!
"Oh?"
A look of interest appeared in Lucian's eyes. He then raised his hand, "Bring him in."
Whether his intentions were true or false, Lucian was in need of talent!
Currently, the Wandenreich had not been established; it was just a name.
After all, with only a handful of people, Lucian was too embarrassed to found a nation.
Lolis with the bodies of mature women: Kushina, Mikoto!
The three little ones: Konan, Nagato, Yahiko.
Apart from Orochimaru, a normal young man, even Tsunade had been semi-coerced into joining.
Could such an organization be called an empire?
Of course, he could establish one. After all, Lucian had occupied the Land of Rain, and all the people here were his subjects.
But all of that would have to wait until Lucian had bestowed abilities upon his subordinates.
He couldn't do everything himself; it would be too damaging to his image.
"Lord Lucian, is this pressure alright..."
Behind Lucian's throne, the tall Mikoto was massaging his shoulders. Her jade-like face was flushed red, making her look very beautiful.
"Mhm, not bad."
Lucian was satisfied. Mikoto was indeed gentle.
Below, Kushina pouted, muttering something under her breath.
The loli Konan watched secretly, her beautiful, big eyes filled with envy.
I want to give Lord Lucian a shoulder massage too, but I'm too small and not strong enough.
"What kind of person is he?"
Tsunade was also confused. Lucian was clearly a demon king who killed without blinking.
But!
What she had seen and heard in the past three days had shaken her worldview.
An existence like Lucian cared about whether the common people had enough to eat, whether helpless orphans were being cared for, and whether the elderly were displaced.
Were these things a demon king should do?
It wasn't just talk; he had even personally taken action for the common people.
Could you believe such a thing?
He seemed cold, but sometimes he would joke with his subordinates and was even indulgent towards them.
It made Tsunade feel as if she were seeing the shadow of Hashirama Senju.
No.
Even her great-grandfather had not been so attentive. After all, Hashirama came from a great clan and simply did not understand the suffering of the common people.
"Great-grandfather, could a person like this... be a bad person?"
Tsunade fell into a confused silence.
If Lucian really did unite the ninja world,
then the world would surely be a better place.
"Lord Lucian is the eternal god!"
If the three little ones had only admired Lucian's power before, they now respected his character from the bottom of their hearts.
Indeed, no one present understood the suffering of the common people better than them.
And no one could see more clearly the great aura that made Lucian so different from other ninja, an aura of truly loving the people as his own children.
In just a few short days, the three little ones were willing to dedicate their lives to Lucian.
Lucian: Isn't it normal to care for your subjects? I don't get it.
Before long, Jiraiya, who had changed into casual clothes, entered the main hall.
"Tsunade, Orochimaru, long time no see..."
Under the bewildered gazes of Tsunade and Orochimaru, Jiraiya smiled and greeted them, then looked at Lucian, staring at him for two seconds.
He then knelt on one knee and shouted.
"Lord Lucian, please allow me to introduce myself!"
"I am Jiraiya, an elite Jonin of Konoha, also known as the Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku."
"I could run at one, jump at two, read at three, dance at four, cultivate chakra at five, graduate from the ninja academy at six, at seven..."
"..."
Watching Jiraiya ramble on, everyone was stunned.
Even Lucian didn't know how to react. This guy was truly a character.
He went from one year old to his twenties without stopping.
He even mentioned peeping on a widow bathing at the age of eight. What a guy!
Lucian didn't interrupt, just listened quietly.
Meanwhile, Tsunade covered her face, and Orochimaru kept giving Jiraiya meaningful looks.
"Ahem, Oro-chan really does care about me..."
Noticing Orochimaru's gaze, Jiraiya was very happy. His decision was absolutely right.
That's right, just like that!
Let's work hard for our undercover careers together, Oro-chan!
Finally, Jiraiya's expression turned serious, and he took out two scrolls:
"Lord Lucian, these are two scrolls."
"One is a map of all of Konoha's departments, clans, and various units, along with the specific information I have on Konoha's ninja."
"The second contains all the ninjutsu I know, including the method for training in Mount Myoboku's sage arts."
