Just now, she had gone to his room first, only to find it completely empty.
She knew it was most likely that shameless female teacher ruining her plans again.
"He's not here. Please leave," Yuhi Kurenai forcefully pushed the door shut.
"I clearly saw him…", Terumi Mei also desperately resisted, refusing to let Kurenai close the door.
"Hmph, coming to see a man dressed so lightly at night. You're definitely up to no good! As his teacher and a kage, it's my duty to stop a woman like you with no sense of decency from getting close to him!"
"You're one to talk! Bringing a male student back to your room to live together at night—you have no awareness of what it means to be a teacher!"
Creak…
Even the thick door seemed unable to withstand the strength of the two kunoichi, bending under the pressure.
"What's going on?", To prevent the door from breaking, Uchiha Kage had no choice but to step out.
Though the sight of Terumi Mei and Yuhi Kurenai, both dressed in thin yukatas, wrestling with each other was quite pleasing to the eye, he decided to stop them first.
"This… I lost our earlier bet," Terumi Mei shoved a gift bag into Uchiha Kage's hands, "This is what I promised to give you."
"..."
Seeing Mei's bashful, shy gaze and the seductive big-sister act she put on, Uchiha Kage didn't even need to think to know what was inside the gift bag.
"It's what I just changed out of… You can use it however you like. Also… remember not to lock your door tonight. I'll come find you again later~"
After handing over her "worn" clothing, Mei tiptoed and whispered something into Kage's ear before finally leaving the room under Kurenai's furious glare.
"I really can't let my guard down for even a second with that woman…", If not for her proper upbringing, Kurenai would have cursed out loud by now.
"Still, what kind of mysterious gift did she give you?"
"Local specialties from Kirigakure."
Since it was already given, Kage had no choice but to accept it. At least this would save him the expense of buying new underwear for Samui.
'Though, their figures should be about the same… Hopefully, Samui can wear it.'
"Local specialties?"
Kurenai eyed the gift bag suspiciously but ultimately didn't press further.
Besides, since their earlier "moment" had been abruptly interrupted…
Now that she had calmed down, she felt too embarrassed to face her student properly.
"Sensei, maybe I should just go back to my own room to sleep, to avoid…"
This awkward, unresolved tension.
Though Kage had no intention of listening to Mei's suggestion, he also didn't want to keep being teased by Kurenai without being able to retaliate.
"Fine. But make sure you lock your door properly. Don't let that vixen in. Otherwise… your teacher won't forgive you!", Twitching her ears, Kurenai noticed that Hinata seemed to have already woken up.
That meant she likely wouldn't have another chance to get intimate with Kage like before.
And to prevent her rebellious student from teasing her about what just happened and forcing her to reveal her true feelings…
If she confessed now, it would be too unfair to Hinata.
'Better to wait for another time.'
Out of embarrassment and guilt toward Hinata, Kurenai ultimately decided to let Kage leave.
———
'The door definitely has to be locked.'
After returning to his room, Kage even set up traps to prevent anyone from barging in.
Because next…
"It's about time to let Samui out for some fresh air. Otherwise, it'd be a waste of such a nice hot spring bath in the courtyard."
After confirming that no one would disturb him for a while, Uchiha Kage finally entered the dream space.
———
The Three-Tails' rampage in Kirigakure not only caused massive losses to the village, but also brought something to Uchiha Kage's dream space—
"So many souls… There's no way I can revive them all with just my chakra and bond points."
Looking at the floating spirits in the sky, Kage couldn't help but feel troubled.
Absorbing them all seemed a bit too much.
But reviving them all was beyond his power, "I really am still too weak."
If he had the chakra of all nine tailed beasts, maybe he could revive them all.
"Guess I'll have to revive them in batches. The ones I like first, the ones I don't… I'll absorb."
Yeah, that's the way.
'An evil Uchiha should act entirely based on preference.'
———
[Action Points: 6]
"The action points have increased again…"
'So war really is the fastest way to grow stronger?'
This cheat-like space is practically pushing him toward crime.
Thankfully, Kage's current interests leaned more toward kunoichi. As for inciting wars… he preferred to let things happen naturally.
"Now, with six action points, excluding dungeons, there's Kaguya, Mikoto, Hinata, Tsunade, Yuhi Kurenai… All comforted. That leaves one extra action—maybe Sakura?"
'Oh right, I also have Terumi Mei's fragment. Why isn't she in the space yet…?'
Just as Kage was thinking this, he suddenly noticed a new area far from "Konoha"—a village identical to Kirigakure.
"Did a new map unlock?"
With a thought, Kage appeared at the gates of the dream version of Kirigakure.
The streets here were similar to the real Kirigakure, and the buildings…
"They're in much better shape than before—no more of that post-war disarray."
But the only accessible location, or rather, the only place that required action points to enter… seemed to be the Mizukage's office?
Curious, Kage spent one action point and stepped inside.
The surroundings blurred, and suddenly, he found himself in a strange position—
He was tightly bound to a reclining chair in the Mizukage's office, while a female kunoichi wearing the Mizukage's cloak stood before him, scowling as she brandished a whip.
"You wicked little Uchiha brat! Let's see how the Mizukage deals with you!"
Crack!
The whip struck hard against Kage's arm as he tried to raise it in defense. But he couldn't move, bound as he was.
'Huh?'
'Though there is a brief sting of pain…'
'Why does being hit feel so strange?'
'This whip isn't normal!'
The red mark on his arm faded quickly, but it left behind an indescribable sensation.
Then, the Terumi Mei before him deliberately sat down on the chair where he was restrained.
"Wait, I'm not an M…", Though he occasionally enjoyed being dominated by kunoichi, most of the time, Kage preferred to take the lead.
"Stay still, brat!"
Crack!
The blushing kunoichi swung the whip again.
"Luckily, these ropes aren't tied too tightly," Before the second strike landed, Kage used a jutsu to free himself, then snatched the whip from the Mizukage's hands.
"So that's how it is… Tsunade is working, Hinata is training, and you're here…"
'Playing these kinds of games.'
Well then, Kage had no choice but to take the "weapon" from the Mizukage, strip off her cloak, and remove all her defenses.
Then, admiring the kunoichi's figure, he used the same binding technique to tie her to the reclining chair.
Now, the already alluring Mizukage looked even more curvaceous.
"Let me go, you wicked Uchiha brat!"
'So she is just an NPC too?'
Kage tried conversing but found that this "Terumi Mei" was like Tsunade in the Hokage's office. Only repeating the same few lines.
"Behave. Now it's time for the wicked Uchiha to do wicked things," Gazing at the beautifully bound "NPC Mei" before him, Kage felt a fresh wave of excitement.
Especially after taking the whip, he discovered even more interesting items in the Mizukage's desk drawers.
Candles, bells, a collar, a blindfold…
Lighting the strangely fragrant candle, fastening a silver bell to Mei's ankle, then putting the collar and blindfold on her…
Kage felt a peculiar sense of accomplishment, as if he had completed some grand artistic creation.
"You wicked Uchiha brat! How dare you defy the Mizukage!"
The blindfolded Mei kept talking.
But soon, under the combined effects of the whip, the candle's strange stimulation, and the ringing of the bell on her ankle, she could no longer utter a single word.
———
"Mmm… wicked Uchiha brat…", At the same time, the real Terumi Mei, who had planned to sneak into Kage's room after he returned, had unknowingly fallen asleep in her own room out of exhaustion.
