Chapitre 227: Chapter 227: If You Envy, Then Join
"Yes, Ultra Kage!" Mabui confirmed, seeing the surprised expressions of the Fourth Raikage and the others.
Then Samui, standing beside her, added calmly:
"Shishou's idea of an Ultra Kage refers to having the power to consistently defeat five Kage-level opponents."
"For this goal, Shishou will not only teach Yugito sage techniques but also find ways to increase her chakra amount and teach her various ninjutsu."
"In Shishou's words, whatever he has, Yugito will have as well."
Hearing this, the usually indifferent Samui couldn't help but feel envious of Yugito.
If only she had a man like Shishou who cared so much about her.
The power to consistently defeat five Kage-level opponents, this Flying Thunder God user certainly had grand ambitions.
Moreover, whatever he had, Yugito would have...
Thinking about Shishou's enormous chakra reserves and his abilities in Wood Release and the Flying Thunder God technique, the Fourth Raikage narrowed his eyes and exchanged a glance with Dodai.
Then the Fourth Raikage turned to Mabui and Samui and asked, "And what about you two?"
Mabui and Samui sighed in unison.
They too wished they could become Ultra Kage-level warriors like Yugito.
However...
Mabui regretfully shook her head and said to the Raikage, "He will teach us sage techniques, but as for everything else, we can't expect it."
"Increasing one's chakra reserves is something he will only do for his women, as it requires a lot of his energy."
Samui also spoke up, "He has many women. There are rumors about him with Tsunade from the Leaf Village and Mei Terumi from the Mist Village."
"Moreover, he will soon head to the Mist Village to continue promoting his fertilizer."
"So, he definitely won't focus on Mabui and me."
Tsunade of the Leaf Village, the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi... Can Yugito compete with these two...
Regardless, until the Cloud Village develops a chakra weapon to counter the Flying Thunder God user, they must try to win him over as much as possible.
Thinking this, the Fourth Raikage looked at Mabui and Samui and then turned to Dodai.
Sensing the Raikage's gaze, Dodai understood and addressed Mabui and Samui:
"Mabui, Samui, although Shishou bears no ill will towards the Cloud Village, as one of the five great ninja villages, we cannot place our safety in the hands of someone else's whims."
"Do you understand?"
"Yes," Mabui and Samui nodded simultaneously.
As part of the Cloud Village's management, they naturally understood the logic behind this.
Dodai continued, "Given this, I'll be direct."
"The Cloud Village will expedite the development of chakra cannons and other chakra weapons to guard against the Flying Thunder God user, Shishou."
"But until these are completed, you two need to help Yugito win him over."
"At the very least, ensure that he isn't swayed by Mei Terumi from the Mist Village or Tsunade from the Leaf Village to the point of opposing the Cloud Village."
"You have the perfect opportunity since you're learning sage techniques from him."
Hearing Dodai's words, Mabui was stunned, "How are we supposed to win him over..."
"Hmph! How else? We need to use ourselves to win him over," Samui shot a cold glance at Dodai.
She didn't mind Shishou, but she wasn't willing to use her body in such a manner.
Hearing Samui, Mabui blushed.
She didn't have a bad impression of Shishou either; in fact, after learning about his motives for promoting fertilizer, she found herself liking him more.
As the Raikage's secretary, she understood the Cloud Village's intentions, which made her hesitant.
Seeing Samui's expression, the Fourth Raikage said, "If you two are unwilling, then forget it."
"Those elders were already planning to offer their granddaughters to Shishou, hoping to gain sage training in return."
"If you don't want to, just say so. There's no need to feel too pressured."
From the Fourth Raikage's perspective, if Mabui and Samui became Shishou's women, it would be beneficial for both them and the Cloud Village.
Firstly, both were loyal to the Cloud Village.
Secondly, the opportunity to gain power surpassing the five Kage was rare, and he hoped they could seize it.
But if they truly didn't want to, he wouldn't force them.
Hearing that the elders were willing to offer their granddaughters to curry favor with Shishou, Mabui and Samui exchanged a shocked glance.
Reflecting on it, they realized how precious their opportunity to learn sage techniques was.
They also understood that with Shishou's power and status, it wasn't easy for just anyone to dine and chat with him.
Thinking about how Yugito, with her much stronger abilities, was deemed "too weak" by Shishou, they felt a strong sense of unwillingness.
If the gap in strength between them and Yugito grew too large, they feared they wouldn't even be able to remain friends.
Samui, after a moment of silence, spoke slowly, "Lord Fourth Raikage, I need some time to think about it."
"Me too," Mabui added.
The Fourth Raikage and Dodai exchanged a glance, then nodded, "Very well, you may go."
With their personalities, saying they needed to think meant they were likely to agree.
Mabui and Samui left the Raikage's office in silence, heading to meet Shishou and Yugito as they had planned earlier.
Reaching the commercial street, they saw Shishou holding Yugito's hand, happily browsing a small stall.
Seeing Yugito's bright smile, Mabui and Samui felt a pang of envy.
They envied Yugito for finding a man she loved.
They also envied Yugito for finding a man who loved her and paved her way in life.
After watching for a while, Mabui said dejectedly, "What should we do? I don't know how to face Yugito."
"But I'm so envious of her."
Hearing this, Samui grabbed Mabui's hand and walked towards Shishou and Yugito.
"If you're envious, then join them."
