The next day, Jugo woke up feeling refreshed, Kin's sweaty, naked body still pressing against his, breathing calmly, but still experiencing slight spasms from time to time.
He brushed the hair away from her face against his chest, seeing that her expression remained somewhere between satisfaction and a slight pain.
They were a bit rough the day before, the room was a complete mess with bits of torn clothing scattered everywhere.
Jugo smiled slightly as he caressed the woman's face, causing her to shrink even closer to his body, letting out a moan of comfort and pain.
Keeping the woman there, with no hurry to get up, he began to think, another thing he ended up postponing through intuition was going to the Hakuja Sennin.
He didn't know exactly why, but now his intuition told him there was some danger there, but he was too weak to care.
He decided to go to Ryuchi Cave to learn Sage Mode later that day.
Jugo felt his body again, his powers had greatly increased, his characteristics from other sequences enhanced by the power of a saint. The number of possible zombies now reached 100, and the number of werewolves reached 300! Of course, they still limited each other.
His other abilities were also stronger, darkness spread through Jugo's body, covering the entire room in a few seconds, flowing between a liquid and gaseous state.
Even without regenerating parts of his body for a long time, he could still survive, even without his head and heart.
Generally speaking, along with the ninjutsu he had learned, Jugo couldn't even say how strong he was now, but he could tell that none of the current 5 Kages could stand a chance against him, even if all 5 came together, he would still kill them.
The only real threat was Onoki, but he doubted that his Kekkei Tota could affect him in an incorporeal state, so the threat was minimal.
Even the most difficult Obito would be very unlucky to face him, he could say that in the current known ninja world, he was at the top and was still only a Sequence 4. Perhaps he hadn't yet reached the level of invincibility, but at the very least he felt very comfortable now, not just because he had a naked woman on top of him.
Jugo thought about his newfound sequential powers and tried to transform himself into a Puppet.
The transformation could be controlled, but the size couldn't vary much and the puppet could only be made from common materials like wood and wool.
Then, in the next moment, he transformed into a life-size plush version of himself, his body becoming fluffy as Kin sank slightly inside him. The woman shifted a little, but squeezed Jugo tighter.
It didn't hurt, but the sensation of turning into a puppet was... unsettling.
He couldn't move, he couldn't use his powers, he could only stay there, being squeezed, like a real puppet.
What was interesting was that he felt his potion move slightly while Kin hugged him, it could hardly be considered acting, but it was an important clue.
Returning to his human form, Kin finally sensed that something was amiss as he lifted his head, his eyes still sleepy and looked at Jugo.
The moment she saw the smiling face, she woke up immediately, startled, only then did she remember what had happened the day before.
Her face flushed so red she looked like a beet, she lowered her head and hid in Jugo's chest, afraid to look up.
-Good morning.- he said softly, stroking her hair.
-Good morning.- she replied with difficulty, still embarrassed.
Jugo snorted, amused. The best way to deal with embarrassment and make the woman forget about it, Jugo turned her over on the bed, making Kin let out a soft little cry. Soon he was on top of her again, the girl's heart pounding with both fear and longing.
The next moment, Jugo's lips met hers as his hands wandered over her sweaty body. Kin's eyes widened and she trembled at the advance, but while she didn't know what to do, Jugo didn't stop and soon Kin threw her worries aside as she moaned against him.
An hour later, the couple was showering together. Kin was rubbing Jugo's back, her face flushed but a thin smile playing at the corner of her mouth. She was happy, even if her lower body protested, she was very happy.
They kissed each other, leading to another make-out session, before Kin finally managed to escape, not without giving him a quick kiss and running away quickly. Maybe she forgot she was a ninja, because she ran like a little girl who had done something wrong.
Jugo chuckled lightly and shook his head, leaving Kin's house and heading to his tower. There, he would inform Guren that he would be leaving for a while and wouldn't leave any clones behind. After all, when the old snake injected the sage chakra into him, his chakra would lose control and they would explode, so leaving clones here made no difference.
Guren wasn't wearing an Anbu mask, she had been "promoted" to secretary.
Jugo couldn't be in the tower all the time, even with the clones, so having only him as an "employee" wouldn't work. He hired a series of employees for the various sectors of the village and Guren was placed above them and below him, responsible for managing the village when he was away.
It wasn't that he was using nepotism because he liked her, but because she was truly the best option, Orochimaru only cared about research, Kabuto was wandering the ninja world collecting corpses, Kimimaro didn't know how to manage anything and Dosu wasn't any better.
In the end, the calmest Guren was the only choice, he couldn't put Suigetsu in charge, right?
The woman pursed her lips as soon as she saw him, annoyed, because Jugo had made her dress up as the Fourth Raikage's secretary, Mabui. The woman was wearing a green skirt suit with a red blouse, she looked completely tempting like that, but Jugo easily controlled himself. He wouldn't attack a woman, that was beneath him.
-I'll be away for a while to learn Sage Mode, so I won't leave any clones. You'll be in charge while I'm gone.- Jugo explained calmly.
The woman with the unhappy face froze for a moment, surprised. - Me?
-Yes, you.- Jugo nodded nonchalantly, ready to leave.
-Wait! I don't know how to lead, let someone else do it! - Guren felt that pot fall out of nowhere, she had no idea how to handle a village and what if the village was destroyed with her in charge? - Why don't you ask Orochimaru-sama?
-Orochimaru only cares about research, he won't want to do this, but if you have any problems, you can talk to him.- Jugo shook his head.
-But... - She wanted to keep looking for reasons to give up, but the next moment, Jugo ran away.
Guren stared at the empty space in front of her with pursed lips, then looked at the office which had previously seemed ordinary, but now looked like it would swallow her whole if she wasn't careful.
Finally, her eyes fell upon the open window, outside, the cacophony of sounds was already present, birds, dogs, villagers... the sounds mingled, but as she approached the window without realizing it, her gaze grew softer.
From there, looking out over the village, she clenched her fists, feeling a surge of strength enter her body. Sighing, she walked to the table and sat down, beginning to review reports. Soon she was so engrossed that she didn't realize her nervousness had subsided at some point.
