Twenty kilometers outside Konoha was a small city.
In an elegant cabaret filled with the sound of flutes and laughter—
"Hahaha..."
The cannon clone and Jiraiya were sitting with women in their arms, both faces flushed red, exchanging lewd jokes from time to time.
The cannon clone grew impatient and said to Jiraiya,
"We've gone through all the formalities. I'm going to fire my cannon now."
Jiraiya waved his hand. "Go, go. Young men are always in such a rush. Take your time and enjoy the mood before you pull the trigger!"
The cannon clone smirked, tugged a few entertainers into a private room, and tossed a line over his shoulder: "I'll leave two for you. Try to find some passion for yourself."
Jiraiya froze for a moment, then shouted after him,
"Are you even that strong? Don't overdo it, or your real body won't be able to handle it!"
"What do you mean, can't handle it? The boss would love it if I did even more!"
Once inside the private room, the cannon clone transformed —his aura thick with the scent of smoke and fire.
...
A stream of information, sharp enough to pierce the soul, suddenly flooded into his mind.At that exact moment, all of Kairen's shadow clones were washed over by the same current.
At the Uchiha residence, Uchiha Kairen held a shuriken in his hand, face turning bright red.
Uchiha Itachi asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Kairen's face flushed deeper before he gave a cold snort.
"I can't believe even this disgusting sensation can be transmitted to all my clones!"
...
Inside the Optimus Prime transport truck, Kairen squeezed Kushina's hand excitedly, his face red as he exclaimed, "The Cannon truly is amazing. I'm nothing compared to him!"
Kushina winced, pulling her hand free. "Amazing, amazing—enough already! Turn the wheel, there's a curve ahead!"
"Alright, alright! A mere curve? Watch me, Kairen, conquer it!"
As the cannon clone's sensations transmitted through the link, all of Kairen's shadow clones froze—except for the three female-type clones, who were unaffected by the wave.
"I, Moku Kairen, am fired up now!"
He stabbed his finger into the ground, body trembling like a madman dancing wildly, overflowing with endless strength. His training grew more vigorous than ever.
...
The sun sank behind the mountains, retreating shyly. One by one, Kairen's clones exploded and vanished.
He lay sprawled on the ground, exhausted. 02 knelt beside him, gently stroking his muscles.
"Baby, you've worked hard all day."
She kissed his forehead softly. "Here's your reward."
Mai also leaned in and gave him a kiss.
"Kairen, good job!"
The queen stepped barefoot on his face.
"Pervert! Here's your reward!"
As the three clusters of chakra dissipated, Kairen quickly blocked out the sensations they left behind, planting them deep within his heart—to draw upon later for motivation.
He stretched lazily, looking at the one remaining clone standing nearby, gripping a massive axe and glaring at him fiercely. That clone had hacked him to pieces over a dozen times today.
"If you're my brother, then come at me again!"
The axe came crashing down—and Kairen resurrected once more.
He fastened his belt and slowly walked into the Senju household.
As soon as he entered, the faint aroma of rice drifted into his nose, making his stomach growl. He wondered who could have cooked the meal.
In the kitchen, Tsunade was wearing an apron around her waist, setting down a bowl of miso soup on the low table.
Kairen looked at her busy figure—golden hair slightly askew, a beautiful face softened by quiet serenity.
If this woman ever became a good wife, her husband would die of happiness.
Tsunade noticed Kairen staring blankly and rolled her eyes.
"Wash your hands and eat. What are you waiting for?"
Kairen chuckled and sat down at the low table, eyeing the rich spread before him. There was even a bit of meat.
"I thought you had hemophobia? You actually killed something?"
Tsunade shook her head. "I'm trying to overcome it. Killing is part of confronting psychological trauma."
"Do you really need to go that far? From now on, just hide in my arms and let me protect you!"
"In your dreams!"
Kairen said nothing more. He knelt on the mat, picked up his chopsticks, and began tasting Tsunade's cooking.
He picked up a meatball—it was soft and smooth, melting perfectly on his tongue.
After savoring it, Kairen gave her a thumbs-up.
"Not bad. Whoever marries you in the future will live a life of pure bliss."
He'd thought Tsunade was only good at producing fresh milk—but to think she could cook too.
"Of course!"
Tsunade smiled, clearly pleased with his compliment. But the next line from Kairen made her frown.
"But that lucky man can only be me!"
"You little brat!"
Tsunade pinched his cheek hard, then loosened her apron and went to the courtyard to call Shizune and Kurenai.
Wolon and Fenchu—the two panda cubs—waddled through the sliding door, each clutching a green bamboo shoot that Kairen had given them.
Without bamboo and a bowl of milk, Kairen couldn't get them to train at all.
He beckoned to Wolon. "Come here!"
Wolon snorted, clearly unwilling. No treat, no cooperation.
"Mm~"
Fenchu, however, adored Kairen. Seeing his gesture, it waddled over happily, bamboo shoot in paw, tumbling straight into his arms.
Kairen stroked it gently, then grabbed a meatball from the table and fed it to the panda.
"Mm... puh!"
Fenchu chewed a few times, then spat it out—it clearly didn't like the flavor.
Before long, Tsunade returned with Kurenai and Shizune. Both girls looked exhausted—it seemed their training today had been grueling.
They greeted Kairen together.
Shizune even bowed slightly.
"Kairen, thank you for letting your shadow clones guide me in medical ninjutsu training."
"No need to thank me." Kairen waved a hand casually.
Girls, huh—pamper them now, press them later.
Tsunade looked at him, astonished.
"You can use medical ninjutsu?"
Medical ninjutsu required extremely precise chakra control and inherited knowledge to master!
Kairen nodded. "I know a lot of things. Stay by my side, and one day you'll discover I'm a hidden treasure."
"Arrogant brat!"
