Chapter 431: First House and Second House! Alternate Members!
"Fūchōin, quiet down!"
"Don't yell, and don't overthink it."
"My organization won't be exposed~"
Looking at the overly startled Fūchōin Ryūgetsu, Fujiwara Tetsuya shook his head helplessly, but he could understand Fūchōin Ryūgetsu's lapse.
After the end of the Second Great Shinobi War, Konoha's feat of nearly beating a third of the Ninja World's Shinobi Villages in rotation elevated Konoha's status in various countries and in the hearts of countless Ninja, making it an existence not to be easily provoked.
"But… but~"
"No 'buts'! You have no other choice, do you, Prince Fūchōin Ryūgetsu!"
"Alright~ Then, Tetsuya-sama, it's time for you to reveal some information about the organization to me, so I can have a clear idea."
Perhaps it was resignation? Or perhaps a glimmer of hope for the future!
This allowed Fūchōin Ryūgetsu to gradually regain his composure~
"Our organization is called Gui Xu. As for its true meaning? You don't need to know now; one day you will understand."
"As for the organization members, Mikoto, Kakuzu… you two, come over here."
At Fujiwara Tetsuya's call, Kakuzu and Uchiha Mikoto both shed their black robes, revealing their true forms.
"Currently, besides you, the organization only has the three of us and one other, making a total of four official members."
"The one on the left is Kakuzu-san, a Kage-level expert, an S-rank rogue Ninja from Takigakure, a well-known figure in the bounty world. He is currently the first in the organization's hierarchy. Furthermore… Kakuzu-san has another identity, which is the leader of Tani Hidden Village: Bito."
"Bito?"
Upon learning Kakuzu's background and identity… Fūchōin Ryūgetsu couldn't help but swallow.
He secretly thought that Kameyama, Tojo, and Okamura, those fools, died without injustice!
Tani Hidden Village was actually an peripheral force created by Fujiwara Tetsuya for his organization. Let alone a group of pirates… even if their numbers were doubled, facing such terrifying combat power, there would only be one outcome: annihilation.
"Mr. Kakuzu, hello. In the future… please guide me."
Noticing the green light flashing in Kakuzu's eyes, Fūchōin Ryūgetsu instantly straightened his body and bowed respectfully to Kakuzu.
"As for the one on the right, you should be able to see the clan crest on Mikoto."
"A genius Ninja of the Uchiha Clan, also a Kage-level expert, my companion and lover. Of course… she is also my future first wife, one of Gui Xu's two Empresses."
Another Kage-level expert?
Hearing Fujiwara Tetsuya's introduction, Fūchōin Ryūgetsu's gaze lingered on Uchiha Mikoto for a moment before quickly retracting it.
Although the Gui Xu Organization was only recently established, its high-end combat power definitely exceeded external Cognition.
Three Kage-level experts, plus another official member whose strength is unknown… this strength could definitely sweep any Shinobi Village outside of the Five Great Ninja Villages.
"The other Empress, my second wife, will not be introduced for now. You will meet her one day."
"As for me, I am the Emperor of the Gui Xu Organization, code-named Yagami Taichi."
"In formal organizational gatherings, you can call me Emperor, or Taichi, either is fine…"
"Uh… Emperor?"
"Fūchōin~ I said, in formal organizational gatherings. In this situation, don't be so formal. You can call me Fujiwara, or Tetsuya."
Looking at the somewhat reserved Fūchōin Ryūgetsu, Fujiwara Tetsuya couldn't help but chuckle, patting Fūchōin Ryūgetsu's shoulder.
"Uh… Tets, no… Fuji~ Never mind, I'll still call you Emperor!"
"That way, my mind will be calm enough…"
After much hesitation, Fūchōin Ryūgetsu still gave up struggling.
Facing an absolute expert, an idol-like existence, he simply couldn't bring himself to call him by his name.
"…Never mind, do as you please with that~"
"Uh, Emperor!"
"I have two small questions~"
"What questions?"
"It's about the 'first wife' and 'second wife' you just mentioned… what do they mean?"
"Also, do I count as an official member of the organization now?"
Fūchōin Ryūgetsu's questions made Kakuzu glance sideways!
At a time like this, shouldn't he first ask about his own treatment?
What a simple fellow~
"Cough~ The so-called first wife… you can understand it as the main wife. As for the second wife? Naturally, it's the concubine!"
As he answered, Fujiwara Tetsuya's gaze incidentally fell on Uchiha Mikoto. Seeing a slight curve at the corner of Uchiha Mikoto's mouth, Fujiwara Tetsuya finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he secretly felt lucky that Torune Ryoui had been very busy recently… and he hadn't brought her out.
Otherwise, tonight would have been another bloodbath for him.
"Uh~ Is that so?"
"I understand~"
Regarding Fujiwara Tetsuya's answer, Fūchōin Ryūgetsu, who came from royalty, seemed unusually calm.
After all, for royalty and nobles, taking wives never seemed to be just a matter of quantity.
In a way, for a powerful man like Fujiwara Tetsuya to have two lovers, fiancées… it was perfectly normal.
"As for you?"
"Currently, at most, you are a candidate for official membership!"
"Only when you break through to Kage-level will you be qualified to become an official member of the organization."
"However…"
At this point, Fujiwara Tetsuya paused, looking at Fūchōin Ryūgetsu with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
"Emperor! However, what?"
"However, Fūchōin, you don't have much time left. The organization still needs to grow. If you cannot break through to Kage-level within two to three years, your qualification as a second-tier candidate will likely have to be given to others."
"Two to three years?"
Hearing the deadline given by Fujiwara Tetsuya, Fūchōin Ryūgetsu's expression immediately became tense.
After stepping into Quasi-Kage, he vaguely felt… that it was becoming increasingly difficult to improve his strength.
At his current level, breaking through to Kage-level was not a simple matter, let alone within two to three years.
"Fūchōin~ Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"Before, you were a rogue Ninja, alone and without support, having to fight and explore for everything yourself…"
"But now it's different. With the guidance of the three of us and the resources provided by the organization."
"The path you will take next will be ten, even a hundred times smoother than before!"
"Kage-level is just the starting point for a strong individual. Beyond that, there are even higher realms… Calm your mind and hold firm to your beliefs."
"I believe that a man with such strong will as you will surely become my right-hand man."
Fujiwara Tetsuya wasn't acting like a charlatan or deliberately boasting; in the Ninja World… there were far too many things that could enhance a Ninja's strength.
As long as Fūchōin Ryūgetsu was ambitious enough, three years was too long; one to two years… that was Fujiwara Tetsuya's true expectation for Fūchōin Ryūgetsu.
"I understand~ Emperor! Fūchōin Ryūgetsu will definitely not disappoint you."
Fūchōin Ryūgetsu's firm voice echoed between the ice layers… until several years, even more than ten years later!
Only then would Fūchōin Ryūgetsu truly understand how correct the decision he had made was.
It was a stage far beyond anyone's imagination.
