A shadow clone wearing a suit walked up to Kairen.
He shouted loudly, "Do you realize you've broken the law?!"
Kairen responded speechlessly, "Are you all rebelling against me or something?!"
"Cut the crap! Today you'll be put on trial!"
Kairen knew these shadow clones were just messing around, so he decided to play along.
"Then where's my defense attorney?"
A shadow clone in a black suit stepped forward. He patted Kairen on the shoulder and said,
"Don't worry, boss! I'll try to reduce your sentence—twenty years down to thirty, life imprisonment down to the death penalty!"
"You bastard!"
Kairen sighed, snapping his fingers lightly. Instantly, all the rebellious shadow clones dissipated into smoke.
Another shadow clone stepped forward. He spoke softly, "Boss, can I take some people to put out the fire?"
Kairen turned toward the bamboo forest—the flames were roaring fiercely, and if left unchecked, the fire would soon spread across the entire forest.
"Go ahead!"
The Environmental Protection clone received his order and gathered about a hundred more clones.
"Firefighting army, assemble!"
The clones transformed simultaneously, donning bright orange uniforms and firefighter helmets.
After lining up neatly, they charged enthusiastically toward the sea of flames.
"Water Release: Wild Water Wave!"
Gradually, the fire in the bamboo grove began to subside.
Kairen pushed himself up slowly, his hand pressing down a few times unconsciously.
"Mmm… mmph…"
Pakura's face flushed red, her eyes wide as if she wanted to kill him.
Kairen ignored her.
"Boss…"
A shadow clone who loved animals came forward, pleading with Kairen to exchange for a healing jutsu.
Kairen obliged, spending 1000 experience points to redeem a Healing Palm Technique.
Soon after, a medical team was formed, moving out to rescue animals burned by the fire.
Kairen watched as his clones busied themselves amidst the flames. His shadow clones were getting more creative by the day. In the future, he alone could become an entire organization, even a military corps—or a nation.
Using the slime in his hand, Kairen quietly pondered. The thoughts of his clones varied wildly, and since he wasn't the type to overthink, if things ever got too complicated, he'd just gather them all for a meeting.
"Mmm… mmph…"
Pakura tried to speak. Kairen pulled off the cloth gag covering her mouth.
Pakura immediately exploded in fury.
"You damn pervert! I'll burn you alive with my Scorch Release—burn you to ashes!"
Kairen pinched her cheek lightly.
"Burn me alive? You're my prisoner now. Tell me..."
"What happens to a kunoichi when she falls into enemy hands?"
His cold words made Pakura's face instantly pale.
She drew back her legs slightly, now looking more like a frightened woman than a fierce shinobi.
Kairen's expression softened as he gently squeezed her cheek again.
"Relax. You protected Tsunade just now. I won't do anything to you."
Pakura twisted her neck sharply and suddenly bit down hard on his wrist.
Kairen pulled away, blood seeping from the wound where she'd bitten him.
The "Lust Clone" nearby clicked his tongue and scolded her.
"If you wanted to bite him, you could've waited till later! What's the rush?"
"Get lost!"
Pakura snapped angrily at the clone, then glared up at Kairen with the fierce pride of a desert woman.
"Moku Kairen, kill me! If you've got the guts, kill me! Even in death, I'll never forgive you!"
The Lust Clone spoke up for Kairen, waving his hands.
"No, no, no! Don't become a ghost, that's too weird!"
Ignoring the clone's nonsense, Pakura stared at Kairen with pure hatred.
"With such power, why toy with us?"
Kairen stepped forward, laughing like an impish child.
"Hahaha… have you ever seen a kid go all out against an adult?"
"You—"
Pakura fell silent. After a long pause, she muttered, "If you're not going to kill me, then what do you want?"
The Lust Clone replied instantly, "Do I even have to say it?"
Pakura glanced at Kairen's abdomen and sneered.
"You? Are you even capable?"
Kairen was barely one meter fifty—completely a child in appearance.
"Ahhh! Such humiliation!"
Her taunt echoed in the clearing, and all the clones bristled with anger.
There's no insult worse to a man than a woman's mockery.
The Lust Clone shouted indignantly, "Boss! She insulted us! Let's show her! Everyone, charge and prove our might!"
Kairen smacked the Lust Clone's head with a single punch, blowing him apart in an instant.
"You're just a ball of chakra—why are you so damn horny?"
But the Lust Clone's thoughts still flowed into Kairen's mind, filling it with images of Pakura's alluring figure.
Which man could endure such temptation?
Kairen's gaze burned as he looked at her.
Pakura curled her lip in disdain.
"Come on, then! Let's see what you've got!"
Her shameless provocation stoked the fire in Kairen's chest.
"You little brat… you're asking for it. You really don't understand how terrifying Moku Kairen can be?"
Kairen formed hand seals. The chakra of Hundred Transformations flowed across his body, his cells multiplying rapidly as his frame began to grow.
1.51 meters!
1.60 meters!
1.70 meters!
The white outfit modeled after Sasuke's style burst apart, revealing his toned muscles.
1.80 meters!
1.90 meters!!
Kairen now stood a towering 1.9 meters tall, his physique rivaling that of Jiraiya himself.
His appearance had matured in proportion to his childhood features—black short hair, bright dark eyes, and a face strikingly similar to Sasuke's: just as handsome, and just as punchable.
A flattering clone turned into a mirror for him to admire himself.
"Boss, you look incredible all grown up!"
Kairen chuckled softly.
Most importantly…
He loosened his belt.
All the clones shrieked in exaggerated awe.
"Overwhelming presence!"
"Yeah! Now Pakura's bound to be scared! Let's see her act tough again!"
Pakura glanced at him, her face burning red.
"Pervert!"
Kairen fastened his belt again, smirking.
Such was the fearsome power of Partial Expansion Jutsu.
"Keh keh keh..."
Kairen, bare-chested, slowly approached Pakura with a wicked grin.
"You… you—what are you trying to do…?"
Pakura's face went pale.
Kairen's gaze shimmered with mischief.
"You're scared now, aren't you?"
"No! Don't—don't come any closer!"
Her face turned deathly white as she struggled backward, finally slipping under the table with a thud.
"I'm coming!"
Pakura squeezed her eyes shut tightly.
...
After a long silence, realizing no attack or movement followed, she opened her eyes slowly.
There stood Kairen, now fully dressed again.
He had shed his old white clothes, replacing them with Sasuke's gray short-sleeved shirt, zipped up neatly, belt fastened.
Kairen glanced down at her and said casually,
"I'm lazy, you know. So… why don't you take the initiative?"
