Perhaps it was a ninja's vigilance.
Tamayo Nara struggled to open her weary eyes. Seeing it was Senju Wakama, she closed them again and murmured, "Wakama, aren't you going to sleep yet..."
"Mm, I'm not tired," Senju Wakama said with a wicked smile.
Hearing this, Tamayo Nara instinctively shuddered. She was truly afraid now.
Even now, everything still felt so unreal to her.
Just as Senju Wakama had said, at first, she just thought it was fun. The more he rejected her, the stronger her competitive spirit grew.
As for what she would do after conquering Senju Wakama, Tamayo Nara hadn't actually thought it through at all.
Perhaps she was just enjoying the process, or perhaps it was just for the sake of personal gain.
But last night, Senju Wakama had directly given her a choice.
Stay, and stay for good;
Leave, and leave for good.
Senju Wakama still didn't like her, but since she was the one who insisted, he could agree to her demands. As for whether he would take responsibility afterward, that was left to fate.
Receiving such an outcome, Tamayo Nara was terrified.
It was a fear of a future she couldn't control.
One she couldn't see, couldn't touch, couldn't even imagine.
She didn't know what to do...
Then, when she truly became one with Senju Wakama, Tamayo Nara forgot all about it.
Senju Wakama was too strong...
Tamayo Nara said in a tiny voice, "Wakama, I can't anymore..."
"I know. Just sleep," Senju Wakama chuckled, tucking the blanket around her without slipping his hand inside.
Having been healed by Tsukuyo, he was indeed full of energy now, as if nothing had happened.
However, Senju Wakama had learned some medicine from Tsukuyo after all. Tamayo Nara and Aburame Aoi were much tougher than ordinary people, but right now, if they continued, they really would die.
Just as Tsukuyo had said, you really can plow a field to ruin.
This way, it would certainly take time for Tamayo Nara and Aburame Aoi to fully recover. The next time they came looking for him, they would have to be completely prepared.
As long as Tsukuyo was around, even this cruel ninja world could become a paradise.
Senju Wakama absolutely couldn't miss out on it.
However, he needed to restrain himself a bit for now. After the two on the bed woke up, he had to get rid of the bed immediately.
Senju Wakama planned to find Hyuga Miyu after preparing a new bed.
It would be just as simple and crude as his discussion with Tamayo Nara last night: either stay for good, or leave for good. No more back and forth.
But Hyuga Miyu would most likely choose to stay.
Senju Wakama thought to himself. That medicine specializing in treating infertility in beasts could be useful again.
In the past, he would never have had the gall to use such a bizarre medicine on himself.
Senju Wakama waited in the living room for the two young women to wake up. His clones had been dispatched to the hot spring district.
Most people in the Senju clan had to receive healing from Tsukuyo before work every day to ensure they could complete a day of high-intensity labor that overtaxed their bodies.
Their pace of life had, without them realizing it, become incredibly fast.
Without Tsukuyo, this kind of rat race would constantly shorten their lifespans.
But with Tsukuyo around, they could spare no effort in developing and strengthening the Senju clan without shortening their lives.
Senju Wakama took this opportunity to pull out the textbooks from the other world and began to study on his own.
When he came back to his senses, it was lunchtime.
A clone brought back food from the hot spring district and then returned to work.
Senju Wakama quickly finished his meal.
Seeing the steaming soup and rice bowl in the food container, Senju Wakama looked up towards the open door of the room. The two young women were still sleeping soundly.
After some thought, Senju Wakama carried the food container into the room.
He raised his hand and gently shook Tamayo Nara awake, saying, "Get up and eat something before you go back to sleep."
He said to get up and eat something before sleeping again.
But when they got up, they first had to wash up, and then they wanted to bathe.
In the end, it turned into the two girls eating while soaking in the bath.
They got into the bath together with Senju Wakama's help. By now, both of them had lost their usual liveliness, looking as if they'd been broken, their eyes vacant.
Even eating was a very mechanical motion.
Even Aburame Aoi, who loved to eat the most, didn't have much of an appetite. After a few bites, she couldn't eat anymore.
The aftereffects seemed a bit too strong...
The two of them looked like walking corpses.
Senju Wakama suddenly felt that maybe he had gone a bit too far last night.
After they had a simple wash and drank some soup, they put on the yukatas Senju Wakama had brought for them, and then they returned to bed and fell asleep again.
Afterward, Senju Wakama continued his self-study in the living room.
When it was dinnertime, the two young women were woken up again. There was finally a little light in their eyes, though they still looked very tired.
After finishing dinner for the second time, they returned to the room to sleep again.
Senju Wakama thought to himself, Next time...
The next time they wake up, they should be able to communicate normally.
As night fell, Senju Wakama went out.
He left his residence to Tamayo Nara and Aburame Aoi.
Senju Wakama slipped out of the clan grounds stealthily and arrived at the periphery of the surrounding Dajiacao protected area.
There was a reason for choosing this location.
There was a ring of empty land here. Other plants were unwilling to crowd together with the hell plant Dajiacao, as they would be squeezed to death by it.
Animals were unwilling to live beneath the Dajiacao, as they could easily be corroded by its sap, accelerating their death.
The Dajiacao were products created based on Tsukuyo's Wood Release, and they served as her eyes.
The forest was Tsukuyo's eyes.
The animals in the forest were also Tsukuyo's eyes.
Only at the border between the Dajiacao and the forest was there neither Dajiacao, nor forest, nor animals.
This was a place Tsukuyo had not yet touched.
Combined with Senju Wakama's 'Stealth Jutsu,' as long as he crouched in a stealthy posture in the shadows of this empty area for more than three seconds, its invisibility effect would activate. Neither plants nor animals would notice him, and naturally, they wouldn't go snitching to Tsukuyo.
"...I thought you'd be continuing the 'great battle' with your two wives tonight, hee hee hee hee. As expected, the allure of the other world is stronger, even stronger than women." Brother Zetsu's lewd laughter rang in his ear.
"Brother Zetsu, you should know that the other world has women too. When are women ever in short supply? But a trip to the other world isn't a common occurrence. I need more time for advanced study and self-improvement. Let's go, Brother Zetsu." ...Senju Wakama was also smiling.
As for sleep and rest...
He could do that in the modern other world as well.
Brother Zetsu had given Senju Wakama a temporary ID card and virtual currency, enough for him to get a room at a seaside hotel for a few hours of sleep.
The flow of time in this world was different from the ninja world.
After spending the whole night here, he would return to the ninja world at the same time he left.
Compared to sleeping next to Tamayo Nara and Aburame Aoi in the ninja world, it was much safer for Senju Wakama to come to this other world and sleep alone in a hotel for a few hours.
