Inside the sea of blood, above the tower…
Konan opened her eyes to silence. Before her stretched nothing but an endless crimson ocean and a scorched, lifeless island. No sound, no wind...just stillness.
"…Where is this?" she whispered. Moments ago she'd been on the battlefield, bound and helpless, when suddenly a vortex had swallowed her into another world entirely.
As she struggled to grasp the situation, another distortion twisted the air before her. From it stepped a silver-haired boy wearing a tengu mask.
Konan immediately guessed this was the one who had brought her here.
But instead of lashing out in anger, she kept her composure, meeting his gaze calmly. She needed to know his purpose.
Hidan, on the other hand, had no such restraint.
He looked her up and down with shameless admiration, drinking in every detail of her figure.
This woman… she's not getting away. She'll be my personal maid. My obedient little maid!
Konan broke the silence first. "How's it outside?" Her voice wavered despite her calm expression.
Worry for Nagato gnawed at her chest. She had been gone long enough for anything to happen especially after Yahiko's death.
"Mm… not too bad," Hidan replied casually. "Your companion's still alive."
"…Good." Konan exhaled, relief washing over her. As long as Nagato lived, she could endure anything.
Her eyes sharpened. "Why bring me here? What's your purpose?"
At her directness, Hidan scratched the back of his head, suddenly awkward. Truthfully, he hadn't thought this far. He just couldn't resist pulling her away when he saw her about to die.
After a pause, he slipped off the tengu mask. His youthful face...no older than a kid was revealed.
Konan's eyes widened. A boy? He still had traces of childishness in his features, yet he wielded a legendary space-time jutsu capable of spiriting her away from death itself.
"How to put it…" Hidan touched his nose. "I saw you in danger, so I rescued you."
"…Is it really that simple?" Konan's eyes narrowed with suspicion.
"Eh… maybe not that simple." Hidan's lips curved, pretending to look shy.
"Then what is it? If you can, send me back. My companions need me." Konan's tone grew urgent. She could not rest until she saw Nagato with her own eyes.
Hidan shook his head. "Can't send you back right now. As for the reason…" He leaned forward, voice firm.
"I want you to be my personal maid. The kind that warms the bed."
"—!!"
Konan's entire face flushed crimson. She had never even spoken of love before, never had time to dream of such things while growing up in the chaos of war.
And now this brat had declared he wanted her as his bed-warming maid.
"You… y-you're just a child!" she stammered, pointing at him with trembling hands, too shocked to control her words.
"…Tch." Hidan's eye twitched. Of all the bodies to reincarnate into, it had to be this damn kid! Being called a little brat...especially by a woman like Konan, makes me want to snap.
He muttered darkly to himself, "Another one who'll know soon enough what 'Big Stick Hidan' means…"
Konan caught the tone and blushed even harder, her imagination filling the gaps. She quickly turned her face away, voice urgent.
"Please… let me out. My companion needs me!"
Her concern for Nagato made Hidan bristle with jealousy. The maid I choose should only care about me. Not him.
"No," he said flatly.
"Why?!" Konan's eyes flared.
"He's safe. He's awakened the Rinnegan and already forced Hanzo to retreat. You don't have to worry."
Konan bit her lip. "…Then at least tell me how I can leave."
"Be my maid," Hidan repeated shamelessly.
"The kind that warms the bed. If you don't agree, I'll go kill Nagato myself, then keep you here until you give in."
His tone was deadly serious. Whatever Hidan wanted, he took. Women were no exception.
Konan's chest tightened. She didn't know if this strange boy truly had the power to kill Nagato, but she could not risk it. That space-time jutsu alone was terrifying.
"…So you'll agree?" Hidan smirked.
Konan trembled, then lowered her eyes. "…I'll agree. But only on one condition. Otherwise, I'd rather die."
"What condition? Speak! As long as I get my cute, obedient maid, I'll do anything." Hidan grinned wide.
"I want you to avenge Yahiko. Kill Hanzo the Salamander. And… let me say goodbye to Nagato."
Her voice was steady, her eyes burning with resolve. If Hidan could truly strike down Hanzo, she would give up everything.
Even if the thought of being his "maid" made her cheeks burn with a heat she had never known, she could endure it for Yahiko and Nagato.
"Then it's settled!" Hidan declared. "I'll take care of Hanzo. And from today on, you're my personal maid!"
Of course, he wasn't naïve enough to simply rely on her word. Deep inside, Hidan already planned to use Kotoamatsukami on her afterward...just to make sure.
