Even she, his teacher, couldn't seduce him.
Wearing pajamas at night to entice him, clearly implying she wanted to stay over, yet that blockhead Kage didn't even enter her room once that entire night to attack her.
How could a mere female ninja from another village possibly…
Speaking of that, Kurenai couldn't help but recall Terumi Mei of the Hidden Mist Village. That woman also had a shameless figure and an especially noble status.
Even such a woman was treated with disdain by Kage. So how could a relatively unknown Cloud Village kunoichi dare say such things?
Just because of those few extra pounds... cough, ounces of flesh?
"What I said is true, he…"
Samui really wanted to spill all of Uchiha Kage's beastly actions to the woman in front of her, but she quickly deflated like a balloon.
Impossible—this female ninja was that bastard's teacher, and judging by the looks, very close. No matter how many bad things she said about Uchiha Kage, the other party probably wouldn't believe a single word.
"He truly is a good man, he neither insults me daily, nor makes me kneel to serve him every day. I was indeed slandering him before."
Seeing the barefoot Kurenai prepare to use her ninja sandals to gag her, Samui decisively changed her tune and began "praising" Uchiha Kage.
Of course, if Kage were present, he would surely detect the sarcasm.
"I knew it, you were just unwilling to accept being captured by him, so you slandered him."
But Kurenai only felt this Cloud ninja woman was becoming more and more depraved and indecent.
Insult and serve? Are these the words of a proper woman?
"Under normal circumstances, how could Kage possibly be interested in a vulgar woman like you."
"How am I…"
So angry.
Clearly Uchiha Kage did all kinds of beastly things to her, and yet now she's being slandered as the indecent one, the victim…
Samui was so angry she nearly crushed her silver teeth.
"Alright, looks like you won't confess your accomplices, then I'll feed this meal to the dogs!"
Though she kind of wanted to whip Samui's shameless chest to vent, avenging the scars the other woman left on her stomach,
After thinking it through, Kurenai chose not to.
Even though Samui ambushed her last time, it was still a battle between ninjas.
She disdained such petty revenge.
However, starving this woman for a few days was still fine.
With so much fat, it's better to slim her down a bit!
"You!"
Starved for an entire day yesterday, and now again today without food, this woman.
Truly worthy of being that bastard's teacher.
With her stomach rumbling, Samui had long smelled the fragrance of food wafting from behind Kurenai.
Now hearing that the food would be fed to the dogs instead of her, she mentally broke down a little.
But…
Hmph! Just a few days of hunger, she could endure that as a ninja.
Anyway, even if she starved to death or bashed her head to death here, she wouldn't lower her dignity and beg these damned Konoha ninjas for mercy.
Clang!
Watching Kurenai leave, and hearing the heavy door slam shut, Samui finally relaxed.
Gurgle!
But what followed that release was the sound of her stomach growling from hunger.
Although she was tormented daily with mugwort, that bastard never let her go hungry.
And he even let her roam freely around Konoha…
Touching her small belly, Samui did feel a bit of regret.
But not regret for freeing the disciple, rather, regret for not being more careful and letting Uchiha Kage discover her little tricks.
"Damn it, how long does he plan to keep me locked up? Or… has he really grown tired of me and plans to abandon me?"
That despicable beast of a man.
That fickle bastard.
"But if he really abandons me, then what about Atsui…"
Her younger brother was still in his hands.
If lucky, he might be forgotten like her. If not…
Samui didn't dare imagine her brother's fate.
Creak!
Just as Samui was sinking into despair and worry, the cold cell door was opened again.
But the person who entered was still not Uchiha Kage, whom she hoped for, but once again, Kurenai.
"Eating alone is boring, so I decided to let you watch me eat."
Pulling out an even more fragrant lunch box from behind, Kurenai deliberately opened it right in front of Samui's cell. Letting the smell waft in, she then happily began eating her lunch.
Nothing pairs better with a meal than the sight of a suffering enemy.
"..."
And Samui could only shut her eyes in deeper agony.
Although this female ninja didn't torture her physically, the mental torment was becoming unbearable.
———
"When does Konoha plan to let me go?"
Though also a prisoner, Temari's current situation was clearly much better than Samui's.
Her chakra was sealed, and she was under house arrest in Uchiha Kage's Anbu hut.
Other than being unable to roam freely, her three daily meals were well taken care of.
"I don't know either, that's something only the Hokage can decide."
Uchiha Kage thought to himself: originally, she could've been released once the Sand Village surrendered. But now...
Most likely, only after Sand Village is completely conquered could this "enemy princess" Temari be freed from house arrest.
Also, he didn't know what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking, clearly they could've locked this enemy princess and her brother Kankuro together in the inn, but instead, he had them imprisoned separately.
And he especially had him guard the elder sister, Temari.
Surely it wasn't because Terumi Mei proposed marriage, and Hiruzen thought he had some charm with foreign princesses?
Was he planning to foster a good relationship between him and Temari, so that after conquering the Sand Village, they could use this connection to place Temari on the throne, aiding Konoha's governance?
Other than that, Uchiha Kage really couldn't think of why Hiruzen specifically assigned him to guard Temari.
That said, Terumi Mei was rather sharp, realizing something was off, she immediately left Konoha.
Otherwise, she very likely could've been put under house arrest by Hiruzen too.
"What about my brothers?", Though being captured by Konoha depressed her, Temari hadn't expected Uchiha Kage to be her warden.
That was actually a good thing, at least being bullied by him rather than others made her feel better.
After all, this was the man she had "fantasized" about in her dreams.
And she had long been awed by his strength and looks. Temari naturally had quite a favorable impression of this Uchiha boy before her.
However.
Though she was relatively unharmed, her two younger brothers…
She couldn't help but worry.
"One is still at the inn, in a situation similar to yours. The other should have already arrived in the Sand Village."
Compared to previous meetings, this Sand girl had less edge and more gentleness about her.
While observing the girl, Uchiha Kage quietly compared the figure of the dream world's Temari NPC and the real-life Temari.
As expected, the dream version was a bit bigger, with longer legs.
More of a mature vibe.
The real one was still quite youthful.
But still attractive enough to catch a man's eye.
Especially those full and tight thighs.
"I see…"
It must've been Gaara that teacher Baki rescued, so Kankuro was still captured?
Hearing that her brothers were relatively safe, Temari also let out a breath of relief.
"Thank you, for telling me this…"
Compared to that rough female ninja who tied her up and stuffed a towel in her mouth, the Uchiha boy in front of her clearly had more humanity.
If not for their opposing positions, he might be even gentler.
Being cooped up in one place all the time, Temari inevitably let her thoughts wander.
"You're welcome."
Without Samui in the room, Uchiha Kage also felt a little out of sorts.
But it worked out, as the space could now be used to detain Temari.
"Karin, from now on, if I'm not around, you'll be responsible for watching her. Unless under special circumstances, don't let her leave this room."
Under his guidance, Karin had more or less mastered the Adamantine Sealing Chains and Kagura Mind's Eye she was supposed to awaken.
Watching over a Genin with sealed chakra shouldn't be hard.
"Yes!", Karin had been bored out of her mind. Now that Uchiha Kage gave her a mission, she couldn't help but smile with joy.
Though she didn't know where the older sister named Lily went, it didn't matter, she would also do her best to serve… ahem, help Lord Kage.
"Wait…"
Just as Uchiha Kage handed everything over and turned to leave, Temari suddenly called out to him.
"What is it?"
"Well…"
Temari had actually been wanting to ask for a while.
"You probably know the female ninja who captured me, right? Could you help me ask her… why does she have my towel?"
Pulling out a slightly stiff white towel from the foot of the bed, Temari asked solemnly.
The presence of this towel implied, that masked man who saw her body that night was very likely still in Konoha.
And possibly connected to that female ninja.
No matter what, she wouldn't let the man who saw her naked off the hook.
"This…"
