Dawn.
Shinho opened his eyes to a dazzling coalition of light.
He jolted awake in a daze, only to realize it wasn't what he thought it was.
"Samui, when did you wake up?" Shinho yawned and asked.
"A few minutes ago."
Samui lay on top of him, looking down at him. Her ample curves looked dazzling in the sunlight.
Shinho glanced at Mabui.
Her dark skin had a subtle, gem-like sheen, though it was somewhat dimmed.
She was still asleep.
"Lord Hokage, do you want to sleep for a little longer?" Samui's blue-green eyes curved into crescents.
"I don't need to sleep," Shinho traced a finger across her lips, "But I do need to rest for a while."
"I understand, Lord Hokage." A smile played on Samui's lips.
She slowly retreated, eventually disappearing beneath the blanket.
Shinho let out a long sigh. Mornings were truly invigorating.
He closed his eyes, and two lines of text appeared in his vision.
..
[Achievement 'Master of Fate' unlocked, obtained Paused Instant Gu.]
[Paused Instant Gu: Rank six Immortal Gu, Space-Time Path Dao Mark, can freeze the target's time for six instants.]
..
Master of Fate?
Shinho pondered for a moment and realized who had triggered the achievement. Jiraiya, or rather, Mount Myōboku.
After defeating the Great Toad Sage, he had gone to Mount Myōboku and used the Beast Enslavement Gu to control all the high-ranking toads.
For Tsunade's sake, and to unlock achievements, he had given Jiraiya a respectable way out.
As for deceiving him by saying that when Naruto Uzumaki became the next Hokage, peace would come to the ninja world, that wasn't an entirely false statement.
Shinho had previously planned to separate the roles of Emperor and Hokage.
After he retired, he intended to let Naruto become the next Hokage.
He hadn't decided yet on who the Emperor might be though; it might be his child.
Of course, that was contingent on them being sufficiently outstanding. If they were incompetent, he'd choose someone else.
In reality, with Shinho's thousand-year lifespan, whether it was the Hokage or the Emperor, they would be under his surveillance.
Theoretically, it didn't matter who held the position.
As for when he would retire, Shinho planned to continue for a few more years.
Once the ninja world was completely on track, he could take his many beauties and travel the world to enjoy life.
The reward was Paused Instant Gu, a Time Path Immortal Gu.
No matter where, abilities related space and time were rare and immensely powerful.
Paused Instant Gu was no exception; freezing a target for six instants made one virtually invincible in battle.
Freezing time was completely different from immobilization.
Immobilization only stopped the body, but freezing time stopped everything, including thought. In the ninja world, this effectively countered any dōjutsu.
..
[Achievement 'Birth of Skynet' unlocked, obtained Heaven's Secret Gu.]
[Heaven's Secret Gu: Rank seven Immortal Gu, Heaven Path Gu, can detect impending disasters.]
..
Shinho's eyes narrowed.
It was triggered at an unusual time? Was Kaguya Ōtsutsuki weaving the Infinite Tsukuyomi? But the key wasn't that; it was the reward for this achievement.
Compared to the original Heaven's Secret Gu, there were significant changes.
The previous effect was to pry into heaven's will and avoid calamities, but the ninja world had no heaven's will, so it was changed to detecting impending disasters.
Shinho's first thought was to use it to detect the Ōtsutsuki clan who would eventually descend upon the ninja world.
Although he knew they would come, he didn't know the exact time.
Now, with the Heaven's Secret Gu, he could prepare in advance and avoid being caught off guard.
For Shinho, it was an extremely useful Immortal Gu. Besides the Ōtsutsuki clan, it could also detect other impending disasters.
Shinho returned to his senses and found that Mabui had also woken up.
She was kneeling beside him, her buttocks taut, her curves prominent. Her eyes were fixed on Samui, who was shaking her head.
"Good morning, Lord Hokage." Mabui noticed his movement and quickly looked behind her, at him.
After a month of getting to know him, her fear of Shinho had vanished.
"Mm." Shinho nodded and asked with a smile, "Samui, why not let Mabui have her turn?"
Samui looked up, puffed out her cheeks, hesitated for a few seconds, then moved aside.
Mabui sat down heavily, her eyes rolling back and her legs trembling.
Samui was stunned.
Damn it! She hadn't expected Mabui to learn to play dirty and end the sparring so directly.
Samui bit her lip.
She wanted to as well. Especially since she had been preparing for so long; her body was already in optimal condition.
Unfortunately, Mabui had beaten her to it.
"Lor...Lord Hokage..." Samui looked at Shinho. Her usually cold expression became full of grievance.
"Wait, I'll avenge you, my dear Samui!." Seeing this, Shinho's spirits lifted.
He stood up and cupped Mabui's waist. In a short while, the Hokage's secretary was babbling incoherently, her legs and hands unsteady.
"Come here." Shinho released Mabui, letting her collapse onto the bed. She was in a daze, her expression blank, drool scaping her lips.
"Yes, sir!" Samui hurried to Shinho.
At his gesture, she turned around and pressed her hands against the wall. The next second, her pupils constricted, and a seductive aura quickly emanated from her.
Half an hour later, she fell into a deep sleep just like Mabui.
Shinho closed the door, took a shower, and left Samui's house.
He was about to head towards the Hokage's office when he raised an eyebrow.
A group of people had entered City of Fire, or rather, the range of his Territory Immortal Gu.
It was Mikoto Uchiha, Tsunade, and the Uchiha clan members attending the wedding.
Fixed Immortal Travel Gu!
Shinho instantly appeared at the train station outside City of Fire. Since the wedding was tomorrow, the Uchiha clan had taken the train.
"Finally, I'm here." Tsunade got off the train and looked at the familiar and bustling station. She couldn't help but sigh; City of Fire was more to her liking.
"Lady Tsunade, are you thinking about Shinho?" Mikoto Uchiha asked with a smile.
"When did you learn to joke around?" Tsunade glanced at her and asked.
The two of them had always been on good terms, so this kind of joke was harmless.
Besides, it wasn't really a joke; she had indeed been thinking about that brat these past two days.
"Lady Tsunade." Mikoto Uchiha suddenly paused slightly and said softly, "Shinho is here."
Tsunade froze, quickly turned around, and saw Shinho smiling at her from a distance.
At that moment, a surge of happiness washed over her.
A brilliant smile bloomed on her face.
"Lady Tsunade," Mikoto said tactfully, "You can catch up with Shinho, we'll go ahead first."
Without waiting for Tsunade's reply, she led the Uchiha clan members to the other side.
"..." Tsunade shook her head.
She didn't really mind.
After all, she and Shinho had only been apart for two days, not two years. But since Mikoto was so thoughtful, she accepted her kindness.
Tsunade walked towards Shinho and quickly noticed a problem.
There were too many pedestrians nearby who had already recognized them. Although they didn't approach, they were all watching them.
"Let's talk back home." Tsunade wasn't comfortable being stared at by so many people.
"Okay." Shinho took her hand, and amidst the gasps of the onlookers, they vanished.
They reappeared in the Royal Palace.
"Did you miss me these past two days?" Shinho asked with a smile as he pushed open the door to the Hokage's office.
Shizune was inside.
She glanced at them, bowed slightly, and then left.
"It seems you've been having a good time these past two days," Tsunade said with a snort.
"Well, it's understandable, with so many beautiful women accompanying you."
"But none of them can compare to you, Sensei," Shinho said with a serious expression.
"Really?" Tsunade crossed her arms, accentuating her impressive curves.
"Of course I'm telling the truth," Shinho said, reaching out to embrace her.
"Tch, glip tongue." Tsunade lowered her arms and asked with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Do you say that to everyone?"
"Of course not." Shinho raised an eyebrow and slapped her derrire. "Don't you know what's the punishment for slandering the Hokage is?"
Tsunade shivered, her full buttocks resembling ripe peaches.
She lifted her leg and lightly kicked him. "I'm your teacher."
Shinho's eyes flickered. Tsunade's perfect figure made her every move incredibly alluring.
"What are you looking at? Fucking pervert!" Tsunade noticed him staring blankly at her and couldn't help but smirk.
"Looking at you, Sensei, of course." Shinho pulled her closer, her voluptuous body pressing against his.
He slowly lowered his head, and Tsunade met him halfway.
Their lips met.
Without excessive words, they understood each other's feelings.
"Alright, I'll reward you more tonight," Tsunade said, licking her lips.
"Mm." Shinho, having just been with two of his secretaries, wasn't in a hurry.
"Are the wedding preparations complete?" Tsunade's voice was unusually gentle, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"Of course, there's no problem," Shinho said, stroking her golden hair. "Tomorrow will definitely go smoothly."
"That's good," Tsunade whispered. "I hope tomorrow comes soon."
"No rush there." Shinho inhaled her fragrance. "The best is always saved for last."
"It's not like you're in a hurry, you can get married many more times in the future anyway," Tsunade said, changing the subject.
