The Land of Fire, the Daimyō's residence.
Leaning back in comfort, Kyōsuke enjoyed the music playing in the background as he savored the grapes peeled and carefully prepared by the attendants. His life here was nothing short of luxurious.
To properly host him, the Daimyō had gone to great lengths.
Surrounding Kyōsuke were beautiful won, each one a rare beauty. The woman performing the lead dance in the hall had only recently been taken into the Daimyō's household as a concubine.
There was no helping it—war was raging in the mundane world as well. The Land of Fire was facing enemies on multiple fronts, struggling to hold its ground.
Though the nation would not fall, if they lost on the main battlefield, they would be placed in a severely disadvantageous position. And when that happened, the wolves lurking in the shadows would surely seize the opportunity to pounce.
At such a crucial mont, the establishnt of the Hidden Leaf Village was akin to a much-needed shot of strength for the Daimyō.
Especially in recent tis, with a large number of ninja clans joining, the sheer montum of the village had shaken the entire ninja world.
Aside from the founding clans—Senju and Uchiha—the first to join were the Fūma, Sarutobi, and Shimura clans, each aligning with different factions within the village.
But the true turning point ca with the Hyūga Clan's entry, which elevated the Hidden Leaf's prestige to unprecedented heights.
It was said that on the day of their alliance, both Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara personally went out to welco them. This alone was enough to prove the current standing of Hyūga Yayoi in the ninja world.
Perhaps influenced by the Hyūga's decision, in the following days, nurous small and mid-sized clans followed suit.
Among them were the Inuzuka, Hatake, and Abura clans—while not on par with the great clans, they still possessed undeniable strength.
Additionally, smaller clans such as the Kurama, Gekko, and Umino families also added their presence to the growing village.
Yet what truly made outsiders envious was not just the influx of ninja clans, but the overwhelming prosperity of the village itself.
A massive wave of common folk had begun migrating to the Hidden Leaf.
According to recent records, the registered population of the village had already surpassed 120,000 and continued to grow at an astonishing rate each day.
Nearly all villages within a hundred-mile radius had been absorbed into its expansion—so with just a few hundred inhabitants, while others numbered in the thousands or even tens of thousands. Many sought to relocate to the Hidden Leaf, drawn by its prosperity, security, and promise of a better future.
The village's next phase of developnt would focus on further expansion, integrating more people, increasing agricultural production, and working towards self-sufficiency.
Though Kyōsuke was thousands of miles away, he was well aware of every event unfolding in the village.
One matter in particular had his attention—Senju Tobirama's proposal to elevate Hyūga Yayoi to the highest tier of leadership as the fourth pillar of power in the village.
With the strength of the Hyūga Clan, Yayoi certainly had the prestige necessary for such a position. The only remaining issue was proving her strength.
According to Tobirama's plan, his elder brother, Hashirama, would soon engage Yayoi in a "friendly match," in which they would "coincidentally" fight to a draw. This carefully staged event would bolster Yayoi's reputation, officially recognizing her as the Land of Fire's fourth superpower.
By then, her ascension to the highest ranks of leadership would be indisputable—even Madara would have no grounds to object.
Not that he would, anyway. Knowing Madara, he likely had no reason to oppose Yayoi's rise in the first place.
If anyone wanted to know what it was like to set a trap for themselves, they needed only to look at that fool, Tobirama.
Kyōsuke eagerly anticipated the mont Tobirama realized that Yayoi had been on his side all along. He could only imagine the look on the man's face when the truth ca to light.
His decision to remain in the Daimyō's residence was not out of indulgence, but rather to buy ti for Tobirama to lay the groundwork.
A proper script had to be crafted with precision—only then could the grand performance unfold flawlessly.
Taking the cup of wine offered by one of the Daimyō's concubines, Kyōsuke downed it in one go and praised it loudly:
"Excellent wine!"
Beside him, his son Haruto rested his chin on his hands, his eyes filled with a certain mischievous glint.
His father was getting too comfortable—shalessly enjoying himself right in front of him. What would his mother think if she saw this scene?
"Heh heh heh." Haruto couldn't help but laugh out loud, already scheming how to use this situation to his advantage.
Just then, a cheerful voice rang out as a small girl, about Haruto's age, ca skipping over.
"Yūjin~ What are you laughing about?"
The girl's na was Anzai Eri, the most beloved daughter of the Daimyō—the treasured jewel of the Land of Fire.
For so reason, ever since their first eting, she had been determined to befriend Haruto.
"Eri, huh?" Haruto, still a bit naive, turned to face her. Her cheeks were slightly flushed as he leaned in and whispered into her ear,
"I'm about to squeeze so money out of my old man. Do you want anything? If I get enough, I'll buy it for you!"
"Really?" Eri's small face turned even redder, her eyes lighting up with excitent.
"Of course! We're friends, aren't we?" Haruto puffed out his chest, looking every bit like soone who valued loyalty above all else.
"Friends~, huh…" Eri pouted slightly, looking a little disappointed.
Kyōsuke, having witnessed the entire exchange, couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.
This kid really hadn't co here for nothing—he had, quite effortlessly, chard the Daimyō's daughter, the princess of the Land of Fire.
Not bad. The son of a tiger would never be a re house cat.
Still, his emotional intelligence could use so work. But that was to be expected—girls did mature faster than boys, after all.
"Daimyō's daughter…" Kyōsuke mused, his eyes flickering with thought.
At that mont, Haruto suddenly ca running over, hands on his hips, speaking with righteous indignation.
"Hey, Dad! What are you doing? If Mom finds out, she's going to be heartbroken!"
Saying this, he rubbed his fingers together in a suggestive motion, a sly grin spreading across his face.
"But… if you know what's good for you, maybe I won't tell her."
"Oh?" Kyōsuke remained completely unmoved, acting as though he hadn't heard his son's attempted blackmail.
Seeing this, Haruto was dumbfounded. This wasn't how things were supposed to go!
"You—aren't you afraid of Mom getting mad?" he exclaid, shocked. Could it be that this old man wanted to abandon his wife and children?!
Kyōsuke rolled his eyes and chuckled.
"Don't be ridiculous. Your mother is the princess of the Land of Whirlpools—she's witnessed scenes like this dozens of tis before. She understands that these formalities are just part of diplomatic visits."
He paused, then smirked.
"On the other hand, if she finds out that you, at such a young age, are trying to woo the Daimyō's daughter… well, let's just say you won't be able to sit comfortably for a while."
"Rest assured, I'll personally make sure you don't get a chance to resist."
This, this... Haruto was utterly stunned. How had things escalated so quickly?
Fearing his mother's wrath, he spent the next several days diligently training, not daring to slack off.
Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!
Large fireballs, each the size of a washbasin, streaked through the air. Having nothing better to do, Haruto had started challenging the ninja recruited by the Daimyō's estate.
Initially, the Daimyō harbored so concerns, reluctant to let his retainers risk harming the son of the God of Shinobi. However, as the duel unfolded, the young boy surprisingly dominated the exchange of ninjutsu, suppressing the Daimyō's hired ninja with ease.
Their technique was solid, but it was no match for Haruto's overwhelming chakra reserves.
To Kyōsuke, the boy's chakra might not yet be refined to a high standard, but compared to many rogue ninja who had trained bitterly for a decade, his raw power was already formidable.
"Truly remarkable—Kyōsuke-dono's son possesses such extraordinary talent at such a young age."
Watching his daughter hopping excitedly on the sidelines, cheering for Haruto with boundless enthusiasm, the Daimyō's eyes glimred with a sudden thought.
"Kyōsuke-dono" he began smoothly, "My daughter Eri and your son are of similar age. Why not let them study together?"
