241 Getting Killed Makes Me Stronger
🕑 Added 2026-01-04 06:14:00 +0000 UTCA puff of smoke rose up, and Wolon and Fenchu, the two panda cubs, appeared while gnawing on bamboo shoots.
"Mmm~ (๑°⌓°๑)"
Suddenly appearing in an unfamiliar environment, the two beasts were startled. When their bear eyes spotted Kairen, they finally calmed down.
"Mmm~"
Fenchu hopped to Kairen's feet and gently rubbed against him with its paw.
It had been nearly two days since they last met, and it missed its owner a little.
Kairen bent down and rubbed Fenchu's head, then said to the Nine-Tails,
"Help me keep an eye on the two of them for a bit!"
The Nine-Tails nodded and jumped down from Kairen's shoulder.
Kairen stretched lazily and slowly walked toward where Tsunade was.
...
In a quiet place.
Tsunade was discussing tomorrow's coup with Shige and more than a dozen other jōnin.
Shige and the others were very loyal. After learning that Tsunade intended to deal with the higher-ups, they followed her without hesitation.
Shige suggested, "The village is on high alert right now. Most of the frontline ninjas have been recalled. Launching a coup at this time might not be wise."
Tsunade frowned. Back then, Kairen had persuaded her with just a few words and she agreed, but now that she thought about it, taking over the Village of Konoha still required many careful preparations.
A confident voice rang out by everyone's ears: "The more people they have, the better. Otherwise, how could I enjoy myself to the fullest?"
Everyone looked toward the young man in gray short clothes, arms crossed, like a silver moon with the entire starry sky behind him.
"Kairen-sama!"
Shige and the others said respectfully.
Kairen nodded and moved closer to the Konoha strategic map they were discussing.
He said calmly to everyone, "Is there really a need to be this serious? As long as I feel like it, I can take down the entire Konoha right now. Choosing the Chūnin Exams is just for a bit more ceremony."
Tsunade frowned slightly. "The village has deep roots and many hidden trump cards. Kairen, don't get arrogant."
Kairen smiled. "The Nine-Tails is on me now. What other trump cards do that old guy and the others still have?"
"The Nine-Tails?!" Everyone was puzzled.
Kairen snapped his fingers, and an orange-yellow fox appeared in the center, its tail coiling around Wolon and Fenchu.
"Allow me to introduce it— the strongest tailed beast in the ninja world, the Nine-Tails, will also be joining this coup!"
The Nine-Tails lifted its head proudly and glanced sideways at the crowd.
Ready to accept the worship of mortals!
Tsunade moved closer to Kairen, staring at the cute little fox beside him.
The girlish heart within her was instantly awakened. Tsunade scooped the Nine-Tails into her arms.
"Where did this little fox come from? It's so cute!!"
The Nine-Tails' face was full of fury. In an instant, it released a terrifying aura, startling all the birds and beasts in the bamboo forest into flight.
...
Two minutes later, Kairen finally finished explaining the Nine-Tails' origins.
Tsunade and Shige were full of shock. Tsunade could still approach the Nine-Tails, but Shige and the others hid far away.
The Nine-Tails snorted, lifting its nose. "Hmph! Humans."
Joy filled Tsunade's eyes. "With the Nine-Tails' help, we'll definitely seize the entire village tomorrow!"
After that, everyone carefully discussed the arrangements following the coup's success.
Kairen listened without much interest, absentmindedly rubbing the Nine-Tails' fur.
Such a proud fox naturally tried to break free, but every time it struggled, Kairen grabbed it back.
Wolon and Fenchu gnawed on bamboo shoots nearby, biting harder and harder, their bear eyes fixed on the Nine-Tails.
One mountain cannot hold two tigers—animals are all extremely territorial.
Wolon and Fenchu felt their status was being threatened. They had to make the newcomer understand its place.
"Mmm~"
Fenchu called out, meaning it would first let its little brother go test this fox.
Wolon dropped the bamboo shoot, stood up baring its claws and fangs, stomped its feet, twisted its hips, and walked toward the Nine-Tails.
Tsunade and the others had finished talking as well. Shige and the rest fled as if escaping.
After learning that the little fox beside Kairen was the Nine-Tails, they didn't dare stay a second longer.
Kairen impatiently pulled Tsunade into his arms, moving his hands eagerly.
Tsunade brushed his hands away. "What are you doing?"
Kairen said roughly, "I'm going to war tomorrow. Today, you're going to satisfy me properly!"
"Nonsense!"
Tsunade tugged at Kairen's cheek.
Kairen had just spent a whole night in fierce battle with Miroku yesterday, and today Mikoto and Kushina had stirred his desires again.
If he didn't deal with it soon, he'd have to turn to shadow clones.
"You bastard, not here!"
"What are you afraid of? The environment here is great."
...
The Nine-Tails and the two panda cubs had no interest in monkeys mating. Wolon and Fenchu surrounded the Nine-Tails in a tight circle.
"Mmm~ (｀⌒´メ)"
Wolon hooked its sharp claws, its bear eyes full of menace, seemingly warning the Nine-Tails to behave itself here in the future.
The Nine-Tails closed its eyes. Two stupid bears weren't worth its attention.
In the shadows of the Village of Konoha, a conspiracy targeting Kairen quietly unfolded.
A dim room lit by candlelight.
The high-ranking officials of the Village of Konoha, along with the heads of the major ninja clans, were all present.
"Has it been decided?!" The one who spoke was Homura Mitokado.
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.
"We can't let him run wild anymore. If I had discovered this child's talent earlier, it wouldn't have come to this!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi regretted not recognizing Kairen's talent sooner. If he had known Kairen possessed such potential—
He would have taken him as a disciple and firmly pulled him to his side.
Koharu Utatane's face was sharp and cold.
"He killed the daimyō. The Land of Fire won't let him off. The new daimyō wants us to execute him as soon as possible, or all war supplies will be cut off!"
Hearing this, murderous intent surfaced on everyone's faces.
Hiruzen Sarutobi said decisively, "Tomorrow, ten thousand ninja troops will encircle him. Even if we have to exhaust him, we'll exhaust him to death!"
To completely resolve Kairen, he had also instructed Orochimaru, to add another layer of force.
Moreover, Hiruzen Sarutobi still had insurance—his Dead Demon Consuming Seal.
Heavenly timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony were all in place. All that remained was to burn incense for Kairen.
...
Nothing happened through the night.
Early the next morning, Kairen put on his clothes and emerged from the gentle embrace, smiling as he looked at Tsunade still fast asleep.
With the sky as a blanket and the earth as a bed—this is one of life's great joys, marvelous indeed!
"Ding!"
"The one-month period has arrived. The host may conduct three draws!"
The system's voice suddenly reminded Kairen.
Another grand draw. Without realizing it, Kairen had already been here for three months.
It felt like seven or eight years.
He looked at Tsunade sleeping on the bamboo bed, his thoughts surging.
Eternity can stretch time endlessly, yet every node within it becomes incomparably fragile.
Was he satisfied?
No! Mikoto, Kushina, Shizune, Kurenai…
There were still countless peerless beauties in the world. How could he stop here?
And the Village of Konoha was vast, with no corner for peaceful retreat.
He needed a piece of land to carry his dreams and open a grand harem.
"System, draw!"
Kairen's voice was the same as before, yet unconsciously far more resolute.
Perhaps having shed his virgin body, he was beginning to evolve toward a seasoned veteran.
"The draw begins!"
Kairen watched the great wheel. Though he was nearly invincible now, he was still very enthusiastic about certain techniques and Kekkei genkai.
The great wheel spun like a vortex of fate, each pass of the pointer like a judgment.
When the pointer finally stopped, Kairen looked at the words above.
