[Ding! Communication with Kurenai Yuhi completed, obtained "Flower Arranging Skills"!]
My goodness... Di Yan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
His system was somewhat unique.
To put it bluntly, it allowed him to copy abilities from female Ninja through intimate interactions.
But this copying was random, like drawing cards.
If he was lucky, he could copy a Bloodline Limit like the Sharingan.
He could even evolve Bloodline Limits through multiple interactions... his Mangekyo Sharingan came about this way.
But if his luck was bad, it was like this time.
What the hell is flower arrangement?
I'd rather have tea ceremony!
Looking at Kurenai Yuhi, who was now unconscious with her eyes rolled back.
Di Yan suppressed the urge to go for a 'Three Yangs Opening the Heavens' move.
A seasoned driver knows to cherish his vehicle; only with good maintenance can it be driven for a long time... "Forget it, I'll take my time, there's always tomorrow!"
Di Yan shook his head and chuckled, pulling his dragon robe over himself.
He tilted his head slightly, his gaze still fixed on Kurenai Yuhi's face.
Yet his voice clearly carried to a corner in the shadows of the main hall: "Izumi."
Soundlessly, a slender figure in a tight black outfit appeared like a ghost beside Di Yan.
She knelt on one knee, her posture utterly respectful.
A beautiful face, but with eyes that seemed to burn with a kind of pathological loyalty... it was Uchiha Izumi.
One of the survivors of the Uchiha Clan massacre.
Now, she was the sharpest and most obedient blade in Di Yan's hand.
"Your Majesty."
Izumi's voice was calm and unruffled, devoid of any emotion.
Only absolute obedience.
Looking at the graceful Uchiha Izumi with her high ponytail, Di Yan said indifferently:
"Take her away and arrange her in the harem. I will slowly train her!"
"Yes!"
Uchiha Izumi agreed, but did not leave immediately.
"What's wrong?"
Di Yan asked, puzzled.
Uchiha Izumi bit her lip, "Your Majesty, are you satisfied? Does Izumi need to help you?"
"Uh..."
Di Yan's mouth twitched, "Why would you ask that?"
Uchiha Izumi looked at him with a flushed face, her small face full of adoration:
"It's always me, Mikoto-jie, and Guang accompanying you. This time it was just Kurenai Yuhi. I'm worried she couldn't satisfy you!"
Di Yan shook his head and chuckled, reaching out to pinch Izumi's cheek:
"Tonight, perhaps. I still have things to do now."
Uchiha Izumi nodded repeatedly, exceptionally obedient.
"Go, chop off a few fingers from that blond kid (Inuzuka Kiba) and that kid with sunglasses (Shino Aburame)."
Di Yan's tone was as flat as if he were ordering an extra dish for dinner, "Be careful, don't kill them. They're still useful."
"Put the fingers in separate boxes and attach a letter. Send them to the Inuzuka Clan and the Aburame Clan."
He paused, a cruel smile playing on his lips, as if stating a truth about to be realized:
"The letter should say: The true ruler of the Land of Fire, Emperor Di Yan, asks them a question..."
"Will they choose to continue pledging allegiance to that nominal Hokage, cowering in the Village as mere guard dogs?"
"Or... will they choose to pledge allegiance to Us, and become the true cornerstones of a future unified Empire?"
"Their choice will determine their clan's position in the new order of the Land of Fire."
"And... the lives of these two boys."
Di Yan's thoughts drifted.
From the moment he transmigrated to this Ninja World.
He knew about the distorted relationship between the so-called "Five Great Nations" and "Five Great Shinobi Countries."
One country, two governments.
Wasn't this a division of the country?
Daimyo?
The nominal head of state, controlling the economy, culture, and nominal political power.
It sounded glorious.
But what about the military power?
As the saying goes, political power grows out of the barrel of a gun!
The most core military force, however, was firmly in the hands of the Ninja of Konoha Village!
What kind of situation was this?
It was like a puppet in a magnificent dragon robe, but with a dog leash named "Konoha" around its neck.
This state of political separation and military power falling into others' hands.
To Di Yan, a soul who had experienced the baptism of "great unification" ideology.
It was simply incomprehensible stupidity and backwardness.
It was like the instinctive "farming" programmed into his genes.
Seeing division and fragmentation made him profoundly uncomfortable!
Therefore, his goal had always been only one: unification!
The first step was to completely integrate the Land of Fire.
Destroy Konoha, this cancerous tumor parasitic on the political system.
Firmly grasp the supreme military command in his own hands!
The second step, once the Land of Fire completed centralisation.
And became a truly efficient, unified war machine.
Would be to launch a national war that would sweep across the entire Ninja World.
He wanted the Five Great Nations and the Five Great Shinobi Countries to all become dust in history.
And let the will of the "Emperor of the Land of Fire."
Become the sole law of this continent!
And that mysterious "system" was the accelerator for him to achieve his ambition.
Copying female Ninja's abilities?
Kurenai Yuhi's Genjutsu talent and spiritual power might be worthless in front of those who use ocular Ninjutsu.
But multiple interactions could provide him with a massive increase in Genjutsu power.
After all, the copied abilities could only be those possessed by the female Ninja herself.
But quantitative production could lead to qualitative change.
Multiple interactions would be enough to push his own spiritual power, or Yin Release, to a higher level.
So, acquiring Kurenai Yuhi.
Was both to satisfy a twisted possessive desire.
And more importantly, to acquire her power and make himself stronger.
The so-called "concubines."
Were merely a convenient excuse and a form of possession.
"Izumi understands."
Uchiha Izumi agreed without hesitation, her eyes showing no ripple of emotion.
She regarded Di Yan's commands as sacred precepts.
From the night of the Uchiha Clan massacre, when this man saved them.
Her heart had long been captivated by Di Yan's power, making her his most fervent believer.
After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Izumi even proactively added:
"Your Majesty, the head of the Inuzuka Clan, Inuzuka Tsume, also has a daughter named Inuzuka Hana."
"It is said she has considerable talent in medical Ninjutsu and family secret techniques. Does this subordinate need to 'invite' her as well to serve Your Majesty?"
"Perhaps... she could also add some pleasure and assistance to Your Majesty?"
Upon hearing this, Di Yan's mind conjured the image of that straightforward, well-endowed Inuzuka girl.
The smile on his lips deepened a few degrees, with the casualness of a monarch selecting consorts:
"Oh? Inuzuka Hana? She's an interesting one. Then tell the Inuzuka Clan to send Inuzuka Hana along as well."
"Yes!"
Izumi lowered her head, respectfully.
Di Yan seemed to remember something else, "Oh, right."
His voice carried a hint of cruel amusement, as if talking about a trivial matter.
"That annoying dog, Inuzuka Kiba, is bothersome to look at."
"Kill him. Dispose of him cleanly and send him to the Imperial Kitchen."
"Tell them, tonight We want to eat... dog meat hotpot."
"As you command, Your Majesty."
Uchiha Izumi's voice remained steady, as if she were merely accepting a routine errand.
She embraced the naked Kurenai Yuhi.
Simply wrapping her in a robe.
