"Hmm?"
Relaxing in a hot spring, Uchiha Gin suddenly received a burst of memories. After spending a few minutes sorting them out, he slowly opened his eyes.
"It seems they've safely reached the Land of Lightning."
During the escort of the Hagoromo Clan, Gin had created two wood clones to protect the women and children.
Upon meeting the ninjas of the Land of Lightning, he secretly instructed the clones to disguise themselves as ordinary members of the Hagoromo Clan and blend into the main group entering the country.
This was to ensure their safety and also to see if they were treated as promised.
Judging from the feedback from his clones, the leaders of the Land of Lightning were indeed eager to welcome them. The Hagoromo Clan was treated as honored guests, received personally by the head of the Yagami Clan with a grand welcoming ceremony.
"Don't let me down," Gin sighed, draping a wet towel over his head and praying for his two clones' success.
"Hahaha~~~"
Just as he was reflecting, the sound of a woman's laughter rang from the neighboring bath. His previously serious expression shifted, and a mischievous smile appeared on his face.
The neighboring bath is a mixed one!
"Tch! I've never experienced this cultural aspect before. I must investigate—strictly with a critical eye!"
Self-justifying, Gin stood up, wrapped a towel around his waist, and swiftly left the men's bath without a second thought.
At the entrance of the mixed bath, he looked around to ensure no one was watching, then quickly slipped inside.
"Oh no, I slipped~" Gin "accidentally" stumbled into the misty bath, maintaining an apologetic tone before even lifting his head.
"Hey~ Ladies, a handsome guy just walked in!"
A mature woman's voice greeted him, not with alarm, but with excitement.
More than one!
Gin's mind raced with excitement. He had made the right bet.
"Don't just stand there, handsome, come in~"
"Oh no, how could I…" Despite his modest words, Gin's eyes widened as he tried to peer through the thick mist and catch a glimpse of the beauties hidden beyond.
Tch! This damn mist!!!
Completely forgetting his abilities as a ninja, Gin strained to see through the fog.
The voice sounded like the innkeeper from earlier. Could there be "special services" involved?
He remembered her beauty and curvaceous figure, causing his eyes to glow with excitement.
Just as he was about to reach out, Gin's hand hit something unexpectedly soft and warm.
"Huh? Why is this wall so… squishy?"
He frowned, feeling the odd texture.
"Oh, handsome, don't be so hasty!" The same alluring voice responded again, this time even closer. Gin scratched his head, puzzled.
Suddenly, the "wall" moved, revealing a massive figure towering over him, scattering the mist with its sheer presence.
"De-demon?"
At the sight before him, Gin's mind froze. The words "Demon King" echoed in his head.
"Come here, handsome, let big sis have a look~"
Before he could react, a giant hand grabbed him and lifted him up.
"Not bad looking, but why do you look like you need a good beating?" The woman's seductive voice came from a terrifying face.
Gin's eyes darted to her massive frame, shocked by the sheer size of the woman in front of him.
"Uh, are you from the Akimichi Clan by any chance?"
"Handsome, you flatter me, but no, I'm still unmarried~" she giggled, her body shaking with every laugh, making the water bubble around them.
Gin's stomach churned as the smell from her breath hit him.
"Don't hog the handsome guy all to yourself, let us have a turn!"
Gin turned his head slowly, his heart sinking as he saw several more women like her approaching with hungry looks in their eyes.
"Ahhh!!! Stay away from me!"
Gin's mind went blank as his Sharingan activated from sheer terror. The air around him grew cold, condensation forming and dripping from the walls.
"Huh? Do you all feel like it's getting colder?" one of the women asked.
"Yeah, let's warm up in the hot spring again~"
They all agreed, laughing as they returned to the bath.
In the women's bath, Uchiha Hikari turned her head, revealing her Mangekyō Sharingan to a shocked Uchiha Haruka.
"The Mangekyō Sharingan is an advanced form of the Sharingan, awakened through intense negative emotions."
"So this is the Uchiha clan's true power?" Haruka couldn't take her eyes off the intricate patterns in Hikari's eyes.
"It seems Hikari-senpai is the strongest among us!"
Hikari chuckled softly, blinking at Haruka. "Gin… he also once had eyes like mine."
"Gin-san?"
Haruka was confused. Her seemingly unreliable teacher had also possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan?
"But why do you say 'once'?" Haruka asked.
"Because his eyes… are now with me."
Hikari pointed to her own eyes. "Gin gave me his Mangekyō to save me from blindness."
"Blindness?"
"The Mangekyō Sharingan comes with a curse. Prolonged use damages the eyes, eventually leading to blindness."
Haruka took a deep breath, trying to process the revelation.
"But after receiving Gin's eyes, I broke the curse, and my vision will never fade again."
"What about Gin now?" Haruka recalled Gin's three-tomoe Sharingan.
"I'm not sure, but he probably had regular Sharingan eyes implanted."
At that moment, a loud scream echoed through the bathhouse.
"Gin's over there… and he's not wearing anything!"
