NA: I apologize for not uploading any chapters last week, but my sleep schedule for the past few months has been a disaster.
During the day I've been busy with work and writing at night. It's a tough schedule, but I enjoyed writing. Besides, I didn't want to let my Patreon subscribers down.
But not sleeping properly has been affecting me, so I decided to get proper sleep last week and haven't written any chapters. I only managed to post chapters on Patreon that I had saved.
I don't know how long I can keep writing like this, but I'll keep trying.
If you'd like to support my work, you can do so on Patreon/GOATXXI or by sharing my stories in various groups to reach more readers.

Gato's promise did nothing to reassure the Daimyo and his family.
Instead, they were terrified.
After all, when Gato marries into his family and has children, he will be able to legally obtain the power if they die.
With the power in his hands, why would Gato keep them alive?
Kozue arrived at the rooms where Gato kept them locked up, and one by one they were influenced by his mind magic.
Kozue found his job easy, as the Daimyo and his family were terrified of what Gato would do to them and wanted to escape from there.
Therefore, it was easy to make them surrender power voluntarily after influencing their wills through mental magic.
Kozue's mental magic was at a level that these untrained and weak-willed people couldn't notice anything and defend themselves.
And within minutes, everyone agreed to hand over power to 'one' of their daughters and travel elsewhere.
They had plenty of money and could live almost their entire lives without working, and Kozue was thinking of helping them settle in a coastal city in the land of fire.
If they're not stupid, they'll know how to invest their money before it runs out in 20 years.
Kozue was generous and planned to let them go with a lot of money after he had received control of the country.
What I had to do now was put together the next scenario.
.
.
.
"...and after much thought, I have decided to hand over power to my daughter!"
In the middle of the city, a large number of inhabitants of the land of the Wave had gathered around a podium and listened in amazement to the words of the Daimyo of the land of the Wave.
They had received a lot of surprising news.
Although they were surprised to see the Daimyo, who was rumored to have died long ago, they were even more surprised to learn of Gato's expulsion from the land of the wave, something that brought much joy to all those present.
They knew that Gato was responsible for the country's misery, so knowing that the man had somehow been expelled from the country made most people think that things would be all right from now on.
The only ones worried were those who worked for Gato in some way, but even they eventually knew that Gato was responsible for the country's misery.
Such was the joy caused by Gato's expulsion from the country that they did not care about the Daimyo handing over power to his daughter.
Many had never seen the Daimyo's family before and found nothing wrong with it.
Only a few had memories of the Daimyo and his family, and they wondered if the Daimyo had another daughter.
But since many years had passed since they had seen the Daimyo and his family, they thought they had bad memories.
"Long live Miss Mikita!"
"¡Viva!"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, and the rest around him followed suit.
As she was cheered by the crowd, Mikita had a huge grin on her face, thinking this wasn't such a bad idea after all.
Kozue wanted her to pretend to be the Daimyo's daughter and take power, something she initially didn't want because she thought it was boring.
But since Kozue asked her and promised that she wouldn't have to take care of anything, she finally reluctantly agreed.
Of course, the blonde wasn't going to say that she accepted because there was a promise of marriage in the future.
Something that made the other women in Kozue's harem jealous.
Seeing this large crowd of people in front of her shouting her name, the woman smiled as she imagined herself married to Kozue and having several children.
Raising her hands, the blonde smiled as she accepted the ovation of her new subjects.
On one side of the podium, Kozue smiled at Mikita's joy.
He personally could not take power because his identity was that of a citizen of the land of fire.
Although the Wave is currently an isolated country, it will not be forever and will raise questions about why the Daimyo of the Wave handed over power.
And since she didn't want to disguise herself and create another identity, as it would be too annoying to keep track of her, she took the alternative route.
He chose one of his girls to take power in the country for him.
Mikita
In any case, Mikita is his wife, so by marrying her in the future he will become the ruler of the country.
Of course, this caused the other girls to want to get married too, so Kozue had to prepare for a multiple wedding.
As he watched Mikita having fun, smiling and waving on the podium, he thought about what he would have to do with this small country.
By convincing the Daimyo and his family that Mikita has always been part of them, it was easy to hand over power to Mikita, and it wouldn't be strange to anyone since she is supposed to be the Daimyo's daughter.
But since he is now responsible for this country, he must do things right.
To begin with, yesterday he bought the knowledge necessary to manage a country at the dimensional store and knew he had a big job ahead of him.
But since he had already come this far, all he could do was shrug and move on.
To begin with, he had to hire a lot of people.
Not only to work in the country's various institutions and continue their operation, but also to cultivate the land and feed the country.
Gato was responsible for filling the country's arable land with his hallucinogenic plants, so there was a lot of work to be done.
But suddenly, he received a notification from his shadow clones informing him about a situation happening right now.
And after thinking about it for a while, he decided not to intervene.
He simply ordered that he be kept informed of any situation.

1 day later
Satsuki Uchiha was a woman with a mission.
At 18, when young people at that age were usually deciding what future to take, his only goal was to kill a person.
His older brother.
Having your entire family and clan murdered by your older brother when you were 10 years old would traumatize anyone, but she had to be strong if she wanted to get revenge.
Although she couldn't deny that the experience affected her personality, making her lonely and making it difficult for her to get close to anyone else.
Unlike young women her age who were concerned with fashion and love, she was interested in training and jutsus.
Although training to exhaustion every day was unhealthy, it was the only way to sleep soundly and not be affected by nightmares.
Nightmares that depicted that night down to the last detail, thanks to the Genjutsu in which her sadistic brother trapped her before fleeing the village.
But the young woman persevered and proudly managed to graduate as the academy's freshman of the year, something that didn't last long when she remembered that her older brother managed to wipe out her entire clan and escape from the village when he was a year younger than her.
Although it seemed more impossible each day to catch up with her older brother, Satsuki continued training.
Graduating and having a Jounin mentor was a good thing for her, as she and her team learned chakra control exercises, such as walking on vertical surfaces and walking on water, skills that increased their abilities.
Satsuki cursed the Hokage for not allowing her to graduate earlier, which caused her strength to stagnate.
But since she couldn't do anything, the young woman could only grumble in frustration and continue training.
It could be said that the young woman was satisfied with her progress and for a moment thought that her revenge was closer.
Until now.
As they dragged an unconscious Kakashi towards the client's house, Satsuki cursed herself for being overconfident.
Of course, there were others out there capable of easily killing her. Not just her older brother.
Although the enemy was defeated, they were saved by a narrow margin, and Kakashi ended up unconscious from chakra exhaustion.
As the client's daughter greeted them and her two teammates carried Kakashi to one of the empty rooms in the house, the young woman clenched her fists, thinking that her training was in vain.
She and her team almost died, and she wasn't even close to being able to kill her brother.
'Will I ever be able to achieve my goal?' the young woman wondered.
The battle between Kakashi and Zabuza made her realize the strength her brother would need to annihilate his clan.
A feat achieved by someone a year younger than her, and who would now definitely be stronger.
For a moment the young woman thought about giving up.
But quickly the image of his parents smiling overlapped with the image of their corpses on the ground, and quickly the fury returned to his mind and he vowed to do whatever it took to kill his older brother.
Whatever.
