Chapter 46 - minato 46

The opulent chamber in the secluded mansion was bathed in the soft, flickering glow of the chandelier, casting dancing shadows across the crimson silk walls.

The air was thick with the scent of jasmine incense, mingling with an undercurrent of tension that crackled like unspoken chakra.

Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, stood facing Fubuki, the daimyo's daughter, her dark green hair cascading over her shoulders like a lush forest canopy, framing her sharp, alluring features.

Her emerald kimono hugged her curves, the gold embroidery shimmering as she moved, accentuating the graceful sway of her hips. Her eyes, a piercing jade, locked onto his with an intensity that sent a subtle thrill through him—part danger, part desire.


"First things first," Fubuki said, her voice a sultry murmur that filled the room like velvet. She stepped closer, her lips curving into a teasing smile, close enough that Minato could feel the warmth radiating from her body. "If you're thinking about killing me, forget about it. I have my people embedded in the daimyo's court. If you so much as lay a finger on me in anger, they'll expose your little conquest plan before you can blink." She tilted her head, her dark green locks brushing against her collarbone, exposing the elegant line of her neck.

He's even more striking up close, she thought, her pulse quickening. Those blue eyes could command armies… or a woman. But power first—always power. If I have to tease him to seal this deal, so be it.


Minato's gaze lingered on her for a moment longer than necessary, tracing the subtle dip of her cleavage revealed by the kimono's neckline. He felt a familiar stir, the same magnetic pull he'd sensed during their last encounter years ago, when she'd been a sharp-tongued noble at a diplomatic summit. She's bolder now, he mused internally, and more dangerous.

That body of hers is a weapon in itself—curves that could distract a lesser man. But I won't let her games cloud my judgment. Still… intriguing. "I know you've put precautions in place," he replied coolly, his voice steady but laced with a hint of amusement. "So you don't need to worry about me killing you." He leaned against the table, his muscular frame relaxed yet poised, his yellow hair catching the light like a halo of power.


Fubuki laughed softly, a sound like tinkling bells with an edge of seduction. She circled him slowly, her fingers trailing lightly along the edge of the table, brushing perilously close to his arm. "You're as smart as the last time we met, Lord Hokage. But let's drop the games and get to the point." She stopped in front of him, her body inches away, her breath warm against his ear as she leaned in. "I want to be part of your plan." Her hand hovered near his chest, not touching, but the proximity sent a spark of electricity between them.


Minato's eyes darkened, his internal monologue racing. She's playing with fire, teasing like this. Does she know how tempting she is? Or is it all calculated? Either way, it's working—my blood's heating up. He arched an eyebrow, his voice dropping to a low rumble. "So you want to kill your own father?"


"Oh, come on," Fubuki purred, stepping back just enough to let her hips sway enticingly as she poured more sake. She handed him a cup, her fingers grazing his deliberately, lingering a second too long. "I don't consider him my father. I was just the daughter born from his sixth wife—a political pawn. My mother was assassinated by his other wives, and he knew it but did nothing. Only when I gained power did he deign to notice me." She sipped her drink, her lips glistening as she licked them slowly, her eyes never leaving his. He wants me—I can see it in his eyes. Good. Let him desire me; it'll make him more pliable. Power is the only truth, and if sharing my body secures it, I'll bow to him willingly. "Power is the only truth in this world, Minato. We can help each other reach even greater heights. So, what do you say?"


Minato set the cup down, his gaze tracing the curve of her waist before meeting her eyes again. The sexual tension hummed between them, thick and palpable, like chakra building for a jutsu. He sat in the offered chair, his legs spreading slightly in a display of casual dominance. "So, let's start our discussion." His voice was smooth, but his thoughts betrayed a flicker of heat: She's offering more than alliance—her body language screams it. Dark green hair like a forbidden forest, inviting me in. But alliances come with costs.


Fubuki's smile widened, a predatory gleam in her eyes as she sat across from him, crossing her legs to let the kimono ride up just a fraction, revealing smooth, toned skin. "As you know, I'm a woman, and in this world of chakra and shinobi, women are still looked down upon by men who hold the power and make the rules. I need your help to claim the leadership of the Land of Fire. If you follow my plan, we'll shed far less blood than in yours—subtler strikes, fewer battles, more… intimate manipulations."


Minato leaned forward, his elbows on the table, closing the distance. "Explain your plan, then. And I'll share mine. We'll see where they align." His eyes dipped briefly to her lips, imagining their taste, before snapping back. She's right about the patriarchy—chakra doesn't change old prejudices. But marrying into the daimyo's family? Forbidden for Hokage, to prevent exactly this power grab. Yet… if she's willing, it could be the key.


Fubuki mirrored his lean, her breasts pressing against the table's edge, her voice dropping to a husky whisper. "My plan starts with isolating my father's rivals. We use your ANBU for targeted assassinations—disguised as accidents or rival clan feuds. Meanwhile, I consolidate influence in the court through bribes and… persuasions." She paused, her foot brushing against his calf under the table in a teasing caress. "Once the path is clear, we stage a 'tragic' event for my father—poison, perhaps, untraceable. As his favored daughter, I'll ascend, but women can't rule outright. That's where you come in." Her eyes sparkled with ambition. Tease him more—let him feel the heat. If he takes me as his wife, I'll serve him in bed, bear his heirs, whatever it takes. Power justifies it all.


Minato felt the brush of her foot, a jolt of arousal shooting through him. He didn't pull away, instead letting his hand rest near hers on the table. "And after? You become leader, but how do I fit?" Her touch is electric—deliberate. She's offering herself as part of the deal. Tempting, but risky. The prohibition on Hokage marrying daimyo kin exists for a reason—too much power in one hand. But with her, I could control the entire Land of Fire.


Fubuki's internal thoughts swirled: He's hooked—those eyes are devouring me. Time to seal it. "After I become leader, I'll become your wife. It circumvents the rules subtly—Hokage are prohibited from marrying into the daimyo family to avoid power consolidation, but with my father gone and me in charge, we rewrite the traditions. You'll effectively lead through me, unifying Konoha and the Land of Fire without open war. Less blood, as I said. And as your woman…" She trailed off, her fingers finally touching his, tracing a light circle on his knuckles. "I don't mind bowing to you, Minato. Serve you in every way. As long as I get the power, I'll be yours—body and ambition."


The tension peaked, the room feeling smaller, hotter. Minato's breath deepened, his mind flashing to images of her beneath him, dark green hair splayed on silk sheets. Wife? Her as my woman? Kushina would understand— this is for the greater good. But the tease… she's making it personal. "Intriguing," he said, his voice gravelly. "My plan was more direct: infiltrate the court, eliminate key daimyo allies with Konoha's forces, then strike the daimyo himself. Install a puppet leader loyal to Konoha. But yours minimizes casualties—appeals to me. Changes: We incorporate your court influences for intel. I'll provide shinobi support discreetly. And the marriage… it seals the alliance, but we keep it secret until the ascension."


Fubuki nodded, her foot sliding higher along his leg, stopping just short of intimate territory. "Agreed. Add this: I handle the poison—something from my mother's old recipes, undetectable. You ensure no shinobi interference from other villages. And as for us…" She stood, walking around the table to stand behind him, her hands resting on his shoulders, massaging lightly. "Consider this a preview of my… loyalty." Feel his muscles—strong, unyielding. I'll enjoy this submission if it means ruling.


Minato tensed under her touch, desire warring with caution. Her hands are fire. This deal could make me unstoppable. He reached up, pulling her hand to his lips, kissing her knuckles softly—a tease in return. "Deal. But remember, Fubuki, as my woman, you'll bow only to me."


She shivered at the kiss, her thoughts triumphant: Yes—power and pleasure. Perfect. "As you wish, my lord."


They spent the next hour refining details—timelines, contingencies, escape routes— the sexual tension simmering beneath every word, every glance.

By the end, the alliance was forged, bound by ambition and the promise of more intimate unions. Minato vanished in a flash, leaving Fubuki alone, her body humming with anticipation. The Land of Fire's future was rewriting itself, one seductive step at a time
