In the palace, golden light suddenly flickered, and three figures walked out.
The originally noisy atmosphere instantly quieted down a bit.
Even Mei, who was teaching Ikki how to write, stopped her pen and looked curiously at Tsunade and Yukari.
Tsunade's long hair was casually loose, her skin was as taut as a young girl's, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes had disappeared, and her entire body looked twenty years younger.
Yukari had red curly hair, her skin glowed with a moist luster, and her cheeks carried a natural blush.
Standing there, compared to when they left in the morning, the two seemed to have shed the traces of time, becoming even more radiant and captivating.
Kurenai was the first to react, putting down the spoon in her hand, her eyes full of admiration. "Tsunade-nee, Yukari-nee, you... how have you changed so much after only half a day out?"
Mikoto walked over, gently pinching Tsunade's arm skin, her tone full of surprise. "Your skin has become so delicate, and your complexion is much better than before. Is it that Nameless Planet has some special energy?"
Mei was even more direct, quickly walking to Yukari's side and gently touching her cheek.
The soft touch from her fingertips made her exclaim, "Yukari-nee, how did your face become so soft and smooth? It's much tenderer and smoother than a freshly peeled egg. Honestly, what did you and husband do on the Nameless Planet? Is there some beauty secret?"
Hearing this, Yukari's first thought was the intimate moments between Shun, herself, and Tsunade.
Her cheeks flushed, and she avoided Mei's gaze. "There's no secret at all, you'll know when you go there yourselves later."
She deliberately left them in suspense, a playful glint in her eyes. Some things are more surprising when experienced firsthand.
Chie and Ami, being more timid, didn't step forward to ask questions. But they couldn't help but secretly glance at Tsunade and Yukari, their eyes full of envy.
Chie whispered, "They look so happy. That Nameless Planet must be very beautiful, right?"
Ami nodded, saying softly, "I want to go see it too."
Seeing that Yukari wouldn't reveal anything, Mei immediately turned around, quickly walked to Shun's side, and hugged his arm.
She gently pressed it against her chest, swaying it from side to side, her voice soft and sweet with a hint of coquetry. "Husband~ Look at Tsunade-nee and Yukari-nee, they've become so beautiful, I want to go to the Nameless Planet too. Next time you take them, you must take me, okay?"
Her emerald green eyes were full of anticipation, and even her tone carried a hint of grievance.
This made the surrounding girls laugh.
Shun's heart stirred as Mei swayed him, the soft touch on his arm reminding him of the intimate moments under the peach tree on the Nameless Planet.
If he were to take all the girls next time, what would it be like on that planet full of peach blossoms?
He suppressed the heat in his heart, reached out and patted Mei's hand.
He said, "Okay, next time I'll take you all to experience the environment there."
"It's a promise then." Mei immediately cheered.
She released Shun's arm, and excitedly pulled Sara's hand, beginning to imagine the next trip to the Nameless Planet.
Just then, three small figures quickly ran over, surrounding him.
Karin, wearing a pink dress, was the first to look up, grabbing Shun's clothes. "Papa! I just heard you talking about a Nameless Planet, I, Shion, and Manaka, all want to go with you."
Shion and Manaka nodded.
Shion hugged Shun's other leg and whispered, "Papa, are there many beautiful flowers there? I want to pick flowers for mothers to wear."
Manaka, being more sensible, added, "We also want to train with papa and become stronger."
Looking at the innocent eyes of the three children, Shun secretly pondered.
The Nameless Planet was his secret base, and the intimate interaction with Tsunade and Yukari under the peach tree this morning was still vivid in his mind. Soft beds, flower rain, beauties in his arms.
If he took the children, where would he find the opportunity to enjoy alone time with his concubines?
He composed himself and found an excuse, "You are only 8 years old, and your bodies are still developing. The gravity there is twice that of the Ninja World. In a strong gravity environment, it's easy to affect bone growth, and if you go now, you might not grow tall later."
Upon hearing this, Karin subconsciously touched the top of her head, her face full of worry. "Papa, will I not grow tall? Then I don't want to go. I want to grow tall, taller than mothers."
Shion immediately took a step back, her small face full of nervousness. "I don't want to not grow tall either. I'll go there to train after I grow as tall as mom."
Manaka looked nervous, then silently nodded. "Papa, then I won't go either."
Watching the three children instantly lose interest, the surrounding concubines secretly chuckled.
Shun, on the other hand, pretended to be a gentle and benevolent old father. "I will build a school on the Nameless Planet. When you are 12 years old and your bodies are almost fully developed, I will arrange for you to go there to train. Your strength will greatly improve then, okay?"
The three children, upon hearing this, immediately shouted excitedly, "Okay!"
Karin's eyes rekindled with anticipation as she said, "Papa, it's a deal then. When we're 12, you must take us there."
Shun nodded. He reached out and ruffled her hair, promising, "Hmm, I will definitely take you there."
—
Dinner was soon served, and the long dining table was filled with exquisite dishes.
At this time, Shisui, Itachi, Nawaki, and others, arrived at the border of the Land of Birds.
Itachi's face showed a hint of urgency. "Shisui, no news yet?"
Before leaving, he had promised Shun that he would bring back a beautiful woman with a Kekkei Genkai to honor him. But now, they had been out for more than four months, yet they hadn't found a suitable target.
Shisui patted his shoulder, a mischievous smile on his face. "Itachi, don't rush, the next mission is to the Land of Wind."
At this moment, a blue-haired, green-clad woman in front, accompanied by more than a dozen ninjas, approached the merchant caravan to demand protection money.
Three Iwa ninjas walked out of the caravan and shouted, "This caravan is protected by Iwagakure! Are you trying to provoke Iwagakure?"
Guren's eyes flashed with disdain as she said, "Iwa ninjas, are you? Then take this."
Crystal Release: Crystal Pentagonal Prison!
A pile of red crystals suddenly appeared on the ground, instantly enveloping the three Iwa ninjas.
Everyone around was startled.
Itachi's eyes, however, lit up. "Crystal Release, beautiful woman, got it!"
