Chapter 276: Chapter 276: The Pig King
After having a late-night snack with Hinata and packing a portion for Hanabi, Shishou escorted Hinata back to the Hyuga Clan compound.
"Shishou, you can go now," Hinata said with a smile at the gate of the Hyuga Clan.
"Alright, make sure to get some rest," Shishou waved before turning to leave.
Watching Shishou walk out of sight, Hinata took a deep breath and walked inside, heading towards Hanabi's room.
Aunt Yuka treated her and Hanabi well, and Hinata liked her. However, she still wasn't her real mother.
On the other hand, after ensuring Hinata had indeed returned home, Shishou stepped out of the shadows and disappeared from the spot.
...
In Shishou's secret laboratory.
Two figures suddenly appeared on the teleportation platform.
Entering the lab, Shishou placed Hyuga Rimei on the experiment table.
"Are we doing experiments again?" Rimei nervously grasped Shishou's hand as she recognized the familiar feel of the experiment table beneath her.
The experiment two years ago had left her with lingering fears.
"Don't worry, I'm just going to check on you," Shishou reassured her, turning off the lights in the lab and removing the black cloth from her eyes.
"Open your eyes," Shishou instructed.
"Okay," Rimei obediently nodded, and her pale golden pupils glowed faintly in the darkness.
"How do you feel?" Shishou asked, observing her eyes, which were showing signs of transforming into the Tenseigan.
Rimei's eyes had a faint golden hue, indicating the potential to evolve into the Tenseigan. However, according to the records of the Otsutsuki clan, she still needed to absorb a substantial amount of Otsutsuki chakra to complete the transformation.
Shishou was preparing to head to Ryuchi Cave to confront the White Snake Sage, whose power was comparable to that of the Six Paths.
He wanted to see if Rimei could fully awaken the Tenseigan and be of assistance in the battle.
Rimei smiled, touching Shishou's face in the dark, "It feels like it's pulsating."
"Maybe I overdid it last month. These past few days, it hasn't been absorbing much chakra."
"I think it won't be long before I awaken the Tenseigan. Then I can help you."
Finishing her words, Rimei rubbed Shishou's hand against her face, smiling.
Perhaps because her eyes were about to completely transform, they would periodically draw large amounts of chakra from her, causing immense pain.
Fortunately, Shishou had gradually perfected her Otsutsuki bloodline over the past two years. Despite the periodic drain, her body could withstand it.
Otherwise, she might have been exhausted to death by her eyes.
Hearing Rimei's words, Shishou smiled and covered her eyes with the black cloth again.
Then he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport Rimei to her room in the lab.
Placing Rimei on the bed, Shishou said, "Wait here. I'm going to see if I can help you speed up the awakening of your Tenseigan."
"Okay," Rimei nodded obediently and kissed Shishou before he disappeared from her sight.
...
In the daimyo's palace of the Land of Demons.
"Konan, are you asleep?"
Standing outside Konan's room, Shishou knocked on the door.
Konan was handling most of the matters related to the livestock industry under the jurisdiction of the Land of Demons.
Meanwhile, Priestess Miroku and Uzumaki Eri spent most of their time training in Sage Jutsu under the guidance of the Snake Princess.
"What is it?" Konan opened the door slightly, her beautiful and cold face peering through, looking drowsily at Shishou.
After two years of working together, Konan had become completely unguarded around Shishou.
Seeing the unintended glimpse of her cleavage, Shishou smirked, "I want to slaughter some pigs."
"How many are there now?"
Konan glanced at him before closing the door again.
"Wait a moment."
Calling out to him, Konan changed into sportswear before stepping outside.
"I think you look better in your professional attire. It's more attractive," Shishou muttered, disappointed by her covered-up appearance.
Konan glared at him, "You promised to help me increase my chakra, but it's been two years, and nothing has happened."
"Instead, you left me with a pile of work. Now you want me to dress up to please you."
"If I could beat you, I would kill you!"
With that, Konan crossed her arms and pouted angrily.
Her strength hadn't improved in two years; instead, it had declined due to the workload. Watching Miroku and Eri train in Sage Jutsu daily made her feel imbalanced.
If things continued like this, she feared she wouldn't even be able to defeat Uzumaki Eri, who had mastered her clan's sealing techniques.
'Oh... I completely forgot about that,' Shishou thought, knocking his head. He remembered he had indeed promised Konan to help increase her chakra.
But he had forgotten.
Looking at Konan, Shishou smiled, "That's my fault."
"Once I kill the White Snake Sage in Ryuchi Cave in a few days, I'll help you increase your chakra and find a way for you to train in Sage Jutsu."
"How does that sound?"
Hearing that Shishou planned to kill the White Snake Sage, Konan was stunned and said, "What did you say you're going to do?"
"Kill the White Snake Sage and take control of Ryuchi Cave," Shishou repeated with a smile.
Konan pursed her lips, "The White Snake Sage isn't easy to kill."
Shishou grinned, "I have help!"
Even if Shishou awakened the Rinnegan, he might still struggle against the White Snake Sage.
However, he had Perfect Jinchuriki Yugito Nii, Sage Jutsu-master Tsunade, and Mei Terumi, soon-to-awaken Tenseigan Hyuga Rimei, Susanoo-using Mikoto, and a transforming Kushina on his side. Plus, he had the information provided by the Chakra Bugs and the Great Katsuyu Sage.
With all these allies, taking down the White Snake Sage shouldn't be a problem.
Konan, hearing this, asked, "Can I come to watch?"
A battle involving the White Snake Sage was something Konan couldn't resist witnessing.
"Of course," Shishou agreed immediately.
Hearing this, Konan smiled and extended her hand to Shishou, "Let's go, Pig King."
"Pig King?" Shishou raised an eyebrow.
"There are tens of thousands of pigs waiting for you to slaughter," Konan laughed.
She then tilted her head at Shishou, frowning, "Maybe I should call you the Slaughter King instead?"
Seeing Konan's slightly cute expression from tilting her head, Shishou laughed, took her hand, and they disappeared from the spot.
