Shiro looked at the worried Shizune in front of him and decided to scare her a little.
"Why not? After all, in order to help you escape from my clutches, she would definitely use every possible means."
"Honestly, I don't understand if there's something wrong with her head. I told her, if you become part of the dowry, you could have whatever you want, everything imaginable. And yet, she spends her days trying to stop me. Seriously, doesn't it obviously interfere with your happiness?"
Shizune was somewhat confused, because no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see how becoming his concubine was an honor. What was going on?
"Lord Shiro, were you serious about what you just said?"
Shizune asked in an inquisitive tone, and Shiro answered openly and honestly.
"If I'm not serious, can I be false? You know, I'm quite picky. There are only a few people I can truly appreciate. At the very least, among those in your Shinobi world, there are no more than 10 in total."
"So, do you think there's a problem with my statement?"
When Shiro said this, the feeling, or rather the impression he gave people, was that it came from the heart.
Shizune couldn't help but stare for a moment, looking at his confident face. Although it was quite ordinary, the arrogance that emanated from his bones made her feel somewhat dazed.
After all, for someone without the ability to say such things, it's just bragging. But for someone with the ability to say them, it's a statement of fact, and the impression it leaves on people is completely different.
"Shizune, I'll ask you one question: do you want to be separated from her?"
At this moment, Shizune, cornered by Shiro, immediately shook her head with a look of alarm.
"I don't want to be separated from Lady Tsunade!"
Shiro looked at her small face, filled with alarm, and his smile became incredibly radiant. However, for some reason, it gave people the impression of a big bad wolf smiling.
"Very good, excellent! Since you said that, I can give you a suggestion so that the two of you won't be separated."
Shizune looked at Shiro's smile, feeling that it wasn't a good thing, but in order to avoid separation, she still asked. She had a feeling that the question would lead to an irreversible outcome, but she still decided to ask.
"Lord Shiro, is there a way you can tell me that?"
Shiro looked at her, and when she asked that question, she actually showed an expression as if calmly facing death. He immediately felt completely helpless. He didn't say he wanted her life or anything like that. Was that necessary? Was it necessary to act like this? Seriously!
At this moment, Shiro felt a little tired, but he still pointed at himself.
Shizune looked at the enigmatic Shiro, several question marks appearing in her mind. What did he mean by that?
"The key to this strategy is me. You must understand that Tsunade and I are inseparable, the kind that cannot be avoided. After all, even if I'm not in this world, she can still only be mine."
"And not to mention, given her situation, she truly is immortal—ah, no, that's not correct. I should say that she can live an unimaginably large number of years. That is already set in stone."
"But you are different. You yourself will live at most a few decades. That's not on the same level at all. Not to mention, as the gap increases, you won't even be worthy to stay within 10 meters of her."
Shiro was very clear when he said this. Although it was a bit exaggerated and portrayed the other party somewhat maliciously, it was also a fact. When the gap is too large, unless someone deliberately suppresses it, the two will definitely drift further and further apart. Even if someone tries to deliberately suppress it, it's useless. Many things are unintentionally revealed, making the other person feel inferior, and then the two will still drift apart.
The only thing that can be done is to raise the other person, try to prevent them from falling behind by countless dimensions. He understood this point very well, which is why he thought of using the Chat Group to cultivate the people around him, or more precisely, to seize opportunities himself. After all, in the Myriad Realms, strength is supreme. What do you want? If you're strong enough, just take it, right?
Shizune fell silent after hearing this, then spoke in an uncertain, or rather, very tense voice.
"Lord Shiro, you're joking with me, right?"
Shiro roughly understood the girl's thoughts, but unfortunately, this time he really wasn't joking.
"I'm not joking with you."
"You must know that Tsunade is not me. She climbed step by step, and relied on the innate advantages of this not-so-great world to gain her current strength."
"She herself has to rely on the Chat Group to become stronger so she doesn't fall behind, and she also has a younger brother she must raise. After all, normally, she definitely wouldn't want something to happen to her brother again, so she will definitely have to invest resources."
"And what about you?"
Shizune fell silent again after hearing this. Indeed, if things continue to develop like this, she might really not be qualified to stay by Lady Tsunade's side.
"That's why I am your best choice, and you don't have to worry that she won't agree. After all, we can simply make it a fait accompli."
At this moment, Shiro finally revealed his goal. After all, in this Shinobi world, if it becomes a fait accompli, the other party actually can't say anything. At most, she can get angry and beat him up, but the key is that she can't defeat him, and that is the most important thing. That was also the reason why Shiro was so shameless.
Shizune was completely stunned when she heard this. Although her intuition told her he wouldn't propose anything good, she still held onto a trace of hope, but this idea was too much for her to accept.
Shiro decided to continue, radiating charm, as if giving the other party a feeling that he was very reliable and speaking very casually.
Shiro began to intensely persuade her. Honestly, if she weren't someone close to Tsunade, why would he need to be this detailed?
After all, this broken place isn't his world. He was like an ancestor, with Chat Group members around him every day, and she was someone close to the other party, and he also had hidden intentions, so he could spare a little time.
And Shizune, under Shiro's subtle influence, felt that his analysis was very reasonable, and her heart wavered. Then, in a daze, she was successfully led into a fait accompli by a certain person.
However, the next day, the other party didn't show anything, and Shiro didn't do anything either. After all, revealing it now didn't seem very appropriate. So the two of them discussed it, or rather, Shizune unilaterally demanded that their relationship not be revealed to Tsunade.
And the other party was very firm on this point, while Shiro took the opportunity to put forward a large number of conditions, which the other party humbly agreed to, it could be said that she was completely bewildered.
"Speaking of which, the current situation in your village is probably almost resolved, right? You don't have to rebuild it yourselves. It's just the dead, and I suppose you'll soon be choosing a Hokage."
Tsunade rolled her eyes at Shiro and spoke in an annoyed tone.
"What do you mean 'just the dead'? You killed so many people, and many of them were leaders or high-ranking members of clans. Now those clans are in complete chaos."
"For example, who died?"
Shiro was a little curious. Who were those people who died?
"Don't tell me about those insignificant ones or anything like that. Tell me about those whose names can be spoken."
Shiro saw that she was about to speak, so he immediately set the framework. After all, he wasn't interested in cannon fodder that didn't appear or wasn't important. He was quite curious whether any main characters or supporting characters had died.
"Emmm… The heads of the Ino-Shika-Cho families, those three, are dead."
"The leader of the Hyuga clan also died, and Uchiha Fugaku is dead too. You know these famous ones, right?"
Shiro was completely stunned when he heard this.
"What the hell! That guy really knows how to kill people, huh? He directly killed all the fathers and mothers of the main group—ah, no, that's not correct, he killed their fathers?"
