Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Come On, Anko, Say It Again!
In the Land of Fire, in Fire Source City.
After finishing training with Tenten, Shishou headed straight to the mansion in Fire Source City.
Upon entering the training room in the mansion, Shishou saw Pakura training and asked, "Where is Anko?"
Mitarashi Anko, once a student of Orochimaru, was now Shishou's subject for experiments involving the sage chakra of the White Snake Sage to see if it would alter her appearance.
Firstly, after the outburst of sage energy, Anko, like Jugo, could passively absorb natural energy and activate her Cursed Seal transformation.
Secondly, her Cursed Seal transformation was similar to the snake transformations of Ryuchi Cave, making her an ideal candidate for Shishou's experiments.
Hearing that Shishou was looking for Anko, Pakura pursed her lips. She had thought Shishou was coming to see her, which had made her inexplicably happy.
However, the joy she felt was now matched by disappointment.
Pointing in the direction of Anko's bedroom, Pakura said, "She's sleeping."
"Sleeping?" Shishou looked towards Anko's room in confusion.
It was nearly evening, and Anko was still asleep?
Seeing Shishou's confusion, Pakura explained, "There was trouble at the mine last night, and she stood guard all night. She should be waking up soon."
"I see. You continue with your training," Shishou said, then walked towards Anko's room.
In Fire Source City, Shishou had not only the Silver Union and a casino but also numerous mines and processing plants producing coal and iron ore for his company's construction needs.
As Shishou left, Pakura lay dejectedly on the wooden floor of the training room.
She thought to herself that in every aspect, she wasn't inferior to the other women around Shishou. So why didn't he actively seek her out?
"Do I really need to be as proactive as Mikoto suggested?" she wondered. "But I've never done this before. How should I approach him..."
After a moment of frustration, Pakura regained her resolve and continued her training.
Unlike Mikoto and the others, Pakura didn't have a special bloodline. The only thing she could rely on was hard work.
Only by successfully mastering sage techniques and entering Sage Mode could Pakura attract Shishou's attention.
"Anko."
Standing outside Anko's room, Shishou knocked on the door.
The wooden door creaked open, and a sleepy Anko appeared. "What's up?"
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and crossed her arms over her chest, looking at Shishou with suspicion, "Are you finally planning to make a move on me?"
In the Fire Source City mansion, apart from the servants and herself, almost all the women were Shishou's.
Though Pakura had not yet had any intimate encounters with Shishou, Anko knew it was only a matter of time.
Even if Shishou didn't initiate anything, Anko believed Pakura would eventually end up in his bed.
Shishou glanced at Anko and walked into her room, sitting by the window.
"Anko, I originally came to help you improve your skills, but since you said that, I'm not so sure anymore."
Although Shishou wanted to experiment on Anko, he knew she wouldn't cooperate if he said so outright.
So he had to take a different approach, presenting it as a way to help Anko enhance her abilities.
This way, it would seem like Anko was asking for his help rather than him forcing her.
This not only turned the situation in his favor but also made Anko feel grateful.
A win-win.
Sure enough, upon hearing that Shishou was there to help her improve her skills, Anko immediately ran behind him, massaging his shoulders and back enthusiastically.
While doing so, she said coquettishly, "Big brother Shishou, I was just joking earlier. Don't take it seriously, okay?"
In the Fire Source City mansion, only she and Hyuga Natsu had the lowest strength.
So upon hearing that Shishou was there to help her improve, Anko perked up.
Whether or not it seemed shameless didn't concern her.
Could shamelessness help her improve her strength?
Could it help her kill Orochimaru?
Not at all!
As long as it could help Anko improve her strength and allow her to kill Orochimaru, she'd even give up her virginity... well, she still valued that.
Hearing Anko's coquettish words, Shishou got goosebumps.
"Can you speak normally?" he snapped, glaring at Anko.
Then he began to deceive her, "I have a method that might help you speed up your sage training and quickly master Sage Mode."
"It can also increase your chakra and give you a chance to learn the sage techniques of Ryuchi Cave."
"But there's a small side effect. Are you willing to try it?"
Hearing that Shishou could not only help her speed up her sage training but also increase her chakra and potentially learn Ryuchi Cave's sage techniques, Anko was instantly tempted.
If she could master sage techniques, her chances of killing Orochimaru would significantly increase.
And the potential to increase her chakra and learn Ryuchi Cave's techniques was too tempting.
However, Anko still retained a bit of caution and nervously asked, "What is this small side effect?"
Shishou replied, "It might cause some snake scales or other transformations to appear on your body."
Hearing it was just snake scales, Anko breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, when she activated her Cursed Seal transformation, she already took on a snake-like appearance. A few scales didn't bother her.
As for the rest of Shishou's words, in the face of such a huge temptation, Anko selectively ignored them.
So she looked at Shishou and said, "Alright, I'm ready to try it."
Hearing Anko's eager words, Shishou raised an eyebrow and then pulled her in front of him, placing a hand on her head.
'The Sage touches my head, and my hair grows long and strong,' Shishou thought, recalling an old poem from his past life.
'Now I've become a sage who can bestow longevity on others...'
Lost in his thoughts, Shishou was momentarily dazed.
There was a time when he was just an ordinary corporate drone. Now, he had grown to a point where he could bestow 'immortality.'
Kneeling before Shishou, Anko frowned slightly as he held her head in silence. She hesitated, unsure whether to urge him to hurry or to stay silent to avoid angering him.
Thinking about Shishou's direct approach to the bookstore's second floor and recalling the scenarios she had secretly read about, Anko bit her lip and said, "Onii-chan, hurry up."
Anko's words snapped Shishou back to reality, and he stared at her in surprise.
Could she really say something like that so casually? What happened to her shame?
Mitarashi Anko was truly audacious!
Maintaining a serious expression, Shishou looked at Anko and said, "Come on, Anko, say it again."
