Chapter 186: Caught in the Act with Anko, Tenten's Tears?
[Congratulations, the simulation was a success! Akiyama Tenshi has inherited most of yours and Tenten's talents. She possesses a strong talent in Yang and Fire Release, a considerable talent in Earth, Water, and Yin Release, strong talents in Space-Time Ninjutsu and Chakra Sensory abilities, a considerable talent in adapting to natural energy, and a minor talent in spiritual energy, with Kage-level aptitude.]
[Her detailed stats are as follows.]
[Ninjutsu: 7, Taijutsu: 8, Genjutsu: 10, Intelligence: 7, Strength: 7, Speed: 8, Stamina: 8, Hand Seals: 7. Total: 62 points. Advanced Fire Release Chakra Talent, Intermediate Earth, Water, Yang, and Yin Release Chakra Talents, Advanced Space-Time Ninjutsu Talent, Advanced Chakra Sensory Talent, Low-grade Mind-Mirror Image Talent.]
Seeing Tenten's panel, Akiyama Makoto let out a sigh of relief.
His painstaking efforts had not been in vain. Tenten had gotten all the attributes she was supposed to. The Advanced Fire Release, Advanced Chakra Sensory, and Low-grade Mind-Mirror Image talents were all unexpected bonuses.
Although her main method of attack was still using ninja tools, these talents would give her strength a considerable boost. Besides that, the biggest hidden improvement from this simulation, in his opinion, was still the research data he had obtained from Kumogakure.
At his current level, he certainly couldn't build it, and even manufacturing the small-scale cannonballs would be difficult. But with a few more simulations, he was confident he could perfect this super weapon.
As for the Treasured Tools of the Six Paths, they seemed mostly useless right now. After all, they had been stolen from Kumogakure. In the context of a Great Ninja War where all nations were cooperating, it would be inconvenient to use them. Unless, like in the original story, Tenten "picked them up" on the battlefield as spoils of war. Then the Raikage wouldn't be able to say much.
With the results inspected, it was time for the simulation's "bonus time."
He took a deep breath. Even he had to go all out when facing a team of seven people.
He closed his eyes and sank deep into the simulation.
When he opened them again, he was plunged into a wonderful chaos, as if he had been caught in a genjutsu. After all, he was surrounded by the skin of beauties, his nose filled with their combined fragrance, and every inch of his skin was experiencing their touch. On top of that, Ino and Sakura, having been modified by the True Spirit Seal, had superhuman stamina. He had to fight until the very last moment to finally take them all down.
It seemed his stamina training had to continue. A Taijutsu talent of 8 was no longer enough! He had to max it out, and even hurry up and upgrade it to 13!
"What are you doing in here all alone? Did you pass out from the heat?"
Anko walked into the bathhouse, wrapped in a yukata, looking at the meditating Makoto with a puzzled expression.
Then, her smile turned strange. "Ah, don't tell me you're savoring the memory of the beautiful and cute Tenten from earlier? Haven't you 'eaten' her yet?"
He opened his eyes. "Right now, I'd prefer to eat some 'red bean buns'."
"Alright."
Anko sat down beside him and gently lifted his chin. "All you can eat. 'Til you burst!"
Two hours later, Anko was crying and begging for mercy. "No more, no more! Stop eating!"
"Not enough? You mean you're not full?"
"No! I'm full! Spare me!"
Another hour passed before he finally carried the boneless Anko to the bed.
She slowly recovered her strength, a blissful and happy smile on her face as she looked at him.
But her expression slowly changed. She angrily patted his chest. "What got into you today? Why do you have so much energy?"
He naturally couldn't say that he had "fought" seven people in the simulation, and that just "eating" one in reality wasn't enough.
Anko, however, seemed to understand his meaning. In a slightly sour tone, she said, "It seems I'm not enough to satisfy you alone... Then why don't you bring Tenten and the others? Don't tell me you're 'pitying' them?"
"I can pity you too, you know."
He looked at her with a half-smile. She pursed her lips, smiled shyly, and said, "Forget about me. You don't need to pity me. Haven't I, Anko, grown up just to be 'eaten' by people?"
Although she was envious of the gentle expression he showed to Tenten and the others, if she, who had already tasted the forbidden fruit, could only experience that kind of "pure" affection, she definitely wouldn't be able to stand it.
"Don't worry. I'll 'eat' you every day from now on, until you're completely exhausted."
Anko shivered. She didn't think he was making an empty threat; she felt he could actually do it.
She thought for a moment. "I can't handle you alone. Since you're not planning on pulling Tenten and the others in right now—what about Kurenai? Aren't you going to make a move on her?"
He looked at her strangely. "Who said I was going to make a move?"
Anko gave him an "I-see-through-you" smile. "Your heartbeat already betrayed you. Come on, do you still need to be so secretive with me? You're not going to let Kurenai go, are you?"
"Besides, I think if we pull her in, I can take a bit of a break, and I'll also feel more confident."
"Confident?"
"Yeah. At least I won't have to worry about feeling like an old woman when I'm around Tenten and the others."
He suddenly understood. "You don't know the effect of the True Spirit Seal, do you?"
Anko also bathed with the other girls, so she definitely knew about the seal's existence. But as for its specific effects, the girls probably hadn't told her, as it involved his private power.
Sure enough, Anko said, "Isn't it just a sealing jutsu you invented to store healing chakra? You were worried about your little girlfriends getting hurt!"
He then decided to tell her the truth. He hadn't told her before simply because it hadn't been her turn yet, not because he felt she wasn't qualified.
After his simple explanation, Anko's eyes widened in shock.
"You... you developed a jutsu that can make people live forever?"
"Yeah."
His calm demeanor made her sit bolt upright and grab him by the neck. "Do you have any idea how many people this jutsu will drive crazy?!"
"Like Orochimaru?"
Her body trembled. She seemed reluctant to mention the name, but then her body slowly went soft and she lay back in his arms, letting out a soft "Mm."
Orochimaru was the boogeyman of her heart. Back then, in his quest for eternal life, he had used her as a test subject. For that, one of the Sannin had become a rogue ninja. And now, the jutsu for eternal life had just been invented by him.
If Orochimaru found out, would he explode with anger on the spot?
He gently patted her back. "What Orochimaru seeks is not just longevity, but also immortality. And I can't do immortality yet. So you don't need to worry too much."
"Besides, I'm only going to use this jutsu on you girls. As long as you don't expose it, I won't be in any danger."
Anko looked at him, moved, realizing she had become one of the people he trusted most.
For this trust alone, her passion was rekindled.
An hour later, Anko covered her face and begged for mercy. "I can't. This time, I really can't."
He didn't make things difficult for her and prepared to hold her as they went to sleep. But she still hadn't forgotten what they were talking about earlier.
"If I use this jutsu to tempt Kurenai, do you think she'll come over? After all, she's already..."
He covered her mouth. "I'll be the one to move her heart. You just need to help me pull her in later."
Anko laughed. "I get it, I get it. A man's desire for conquest. Don't worry, I'll be a good and supportive wife."
The two of them snuggled together and slept until dawn.
It wasn't until Tenten knocked on the door that Anko groggily opened her eyes. She realized the situation was bad and wanted to flee, but he stopped her.
She looked at him, confused.
"It's not a solution to always have you hiding, is it?" he said.
"But—" She looked anxious, afraid of ruining his relationship with Tenten and the others.
But he just put on a yukata, looking fresh and dewy, and opened the door. The expectant look on Tenten's face instantly petrified.
Although Anko had shyly turned her back, who else could it be, moving so freely in his house and with such a good figure?
Tears welled up in Tenten's eyes. She turned and ran downstairs.
But she had only just reached the living room when she was embraced from behind by him.
"Let go of me! I'm leaving! I don't like you anymore! We're through—Mmph!"
