A few days later, another event occurred.
The current Daimyo of the Land of Snow, Kazahana Koyuki, came to Konoha to pledge allegiance to the newly formalized Ninja World Government established by Makoto.
The two sides signed an agreement, making the Land of Snow the second nation, after the Land of Fire, to join the Ninja World Government.
During the ceremony, the central plaza of Konoha Village was packed with people.
Besides the villagers of Konoha, many citizens who had heard the news and traveled from all over the Land of Fire had also come, wanting to witness this historic moment with their own eyes.
For a time, the occasion was extremely grand.
Koyuki stood in the center of the plaza, dressed formally in an inky black gown that trailed on the ground. She wore a golden crown on her head and held an ornate, beautifully crafted sword in her hands.
She walked up to Makoto, bowed slightly, and presented the sword with both hands.
Makoto was dressed in a formal white attire. In fact, it was the same outfit Aizen wore when he betrayed the Soul Society and formally took over Hueco Mundo.
Makoto took the sword, turned, and walked towards the palace behind him.
In the throne hall, a giant throne made of precious metal faced the main entrance.
On one side of the throne, a sword was already embedded.
That was the Pledge Sword of the Land of Fire.
Makoto took the sword presented by Koyuki and embedded it on the other side of the throne, alongside the sword of the Land of Fire.
Watching Makoto's actions, Asuma, standing in the crowd, asked curiously, "What does that mean?"
Konohamaru beside him looked disdainful.
"You don't even know that, Uncle Asuma?"
Asuma's mouth twitched, 'Damn, a person might think Konohamaru was actually Makoto's relative.'
Konohamaru puffed out his chest and explained seriously, "That's the [Empty Throne]... symbolizing that it belongs to no one and there is no dictator. Each sword embedded represents a nation joining the Ninja World Government as a pledge of their covenant."
This was the rule Makoto established when creating the Ninja World Government... the throne is for no one... no one can stand above the other nations.
The more nations that join, the more swords line the throne, symbolizing "All nations united, jointly maintaining peace."
Asuma scratched his head and muttered under his breath, "Makoto wouldn't secretly sit on it, would he?"
Hearing this, Kurenai, standing nearby with Mitarashi Anko, shot Asuma a nasty glare.
"Makoto is not that kind of person!"
Her tone was harsh, surprising even Anko beside her.
Asuma shrank his neck, confused why his goddess was reacting so strongly.
The Nakano quintuplets and others standing in the front row noticed something else.
That female Daimyo from the Land of Snow was looking at their man with a very peculiar expression.
It almost seemed... intimate.
Erina leaned close to veteran player Ran and asked quietly, "Does that female Daimyo... have some kind of history with Makoto?"
Ran seemed to remember something and couldn't help but blush.
Utaha, standing nearby, took over the conversation unpleasantly: "She was the woman who took Sensei-kun's virginity."
Hearing this, the expressions of all the girls turned strange.
Most of them had already been 'fully explored' by Makoto, so they understood the meaning of 'taking virginity'.
Airi looked shocked.
"Wasn't it me who took Makoto's virginity?"
Utaha didn't answer, just smiled meaningfully, her gaze settling on Koyuki.
Meanwhile, Bocchi, still a 'pure and untouched maiden', tugged on Yamada Ryo's sleeve curiously.
"What does 'taking virginity' mean?"
Ryo glanced at her expressionlessly, leaned close to Bocchi's small ear, and whispered something cryptic.
Bocchi's face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple, from her neck to the tips of her ears, and she promptly fainted.
Her eyes rolled back, and her body went limp.
Fortunately, Nijika and Ikuyo were quick, catching her from both sides.
"Bocchi-chan! Bocchi-chan!"
After the ceremony, Makoto invited Koyuki to stay for a few days.
"Since the Leader invites me, how could I dare refuse?"
Koyuki bowed slightly, a bewitching smile curling on her lips.
From the floor below, applause erupted as everyone offered their blessings for this beautiful tale of peace.
Makoto's women, however, rolled their eyes so hard they nearly got stuck.
'What a pair!'
…
That night.
Koyuki's cries were absolutely earth-shattering.
Although Makoto had cleared out all the surrounding houses precisely to prevent noise from leaking out, that woman was simply too loud.
Wave after wave, as if she were releasing years of pent-up loneliness all at once, forcing Megumi to activate her barrier for soundproofing.
Nayuta, upon learning that this Koyuki woman had no combat abilities whatsoever, immediately seized the opportunity.
While Koyuki was in the throes of ecstasy, her mouth wide open, Nayuta quickly took out the Ripe-Ripe Fruit from her inventory, plucked a piece of the flesh, and tossed it right in.
"Gulp."
Before Koyuki could react, the fruit flesh melted on her tongue and slid down her throat.
"You... what did you feed me?"
Koyuki forced herself to ignore the tingling numbness and looked incredulously at the little girl with the golden-ringed eyes before her.
Makoto also looked helplessly at Nayuta's malicious grin. He comforted Koyuki, "Don't worry, it's not poison."
Then, he quickened his pace.
"Ahhh... I'm dying... I'm really dying... Leader—"
Koyuki begged for mercy repeatedly, her voice growing softer and weaker.
Finally, with one final high-pitched cry, she collapsed limply onto the bed like a puddle of water.
Nayuta grabbed Koyuki's now-limp hand and pressed it against her own chest.
"Hey, you slut, use your ability on me."
Her golden ringed eyes flashed with a strange light.
Koyuki's pupils gradually glazed over. Her body seemed manipulated by something and began to channel the power of the Ripe-Ripe Fruit within her, injecting it into Nayuta.
Nayuta's body began to expand rapidly.
Her child-sized clothes tore apart, the sound of ripping fabric echoing in the room, replaced by a curvaceous figure.
Twenty-six-year-old 'Mature Woman' Nayuta made her grand appearance!
Makoto looked at her, momentarily dazed.
Back in the One Piece World, even after growing up, Nayuta hadn't reached this age.
And now, the twenty-six-year-old Nayuta strongly resembled 'that woman'.
If the two stood together, probably only the tear-shaped mole by her eye and her hair color would distinguish them.
"Aren't I pretty?"
Nayuta lifted her chin, looking down at Makoto with a provocative smile.
Then, she took Koyuki's place, becoming the night's soprano.
Megumi was getting numb.
She could only continue reinforcing the barrier.
However, seeing the power of the Ripe-Ripe Fruit, the other girls, who had been returned to their thirteen or fourteen-year-old forms by the Reincarnation System, also had stars in their eyes.
They hadn't been intimate with Makoto recently because of their physical age.
Every night, they could only listen to the others enjoying themselves and endure their own frustration. The feeling was incredibly torturous.
Now, they could finally remedy the situation.
As for the Ripe-Ripe Fruit's side effects? No need to worry.
Because after three rounds, when Nayuta collapsed weakly, Makoto injected Haki into her body.
Nayuta's body began to shrink, slowly returning from twenty-six years old to her six-year-old loli form.
Indeed, as long as your Haki was strong enough, you could dispel the buffs granted by Devil Fruits.
To be honest, while the twenty-six-year-old Nayuta was very alluring and reminded Makoto of someone from the past, he was still more accustomed to the six-year-old loli Nayuta.
Just as he 'changed' Nayuta back, Makoto noticed the girls approaching, eyes sparkling.
One by one, they grabbed Koyuki's hand and pressed it against their own chests.
Well, there was bound to be a major battle tonight.
