Chapter 21 Relationship And Connection

As the meeting began, Yuto's voice broke the comfortable silence. "Let's start the meeting," he said, his tone commanding yet relaxed.

Tenko, feeling playful, approached Yuto and kissed him gently on the lips, sucking on them like a lollipop. Yuto felt their lips connect, and even though only one Yuto was kissed, all Yutos could feel the sensation—their shared body and soul allowing them to experience everything together. Tenko adjusted herself onto Yuto's lap, giggling softly. "I love you," she whispered teasingly. "I'll be your third wife, after my sisters," she added, kissing him once again.

Jenny and Gaia watched with warm smiles, their bond with Tenko deepening more each day. They could see how much Tenko loved Yuto, just as they did.

Not to be outdone, both Jenny and Gaia found the nearest Yutos to them and kissed them on the lips as well, before settling comfortably onto their laps. All the Yutos felt the kisses, the warmth of Jenny and Gaia sitting on their laps, as they were connected by the same essence. Every kiss, every touch, every feeling reverberated through their shared consciousness.

Yuto gently patted Tenko's head, breaking their kiss but allowing her to remain seated on his lap. He kept a hand resting on her head as he turned back to business. "What's our progress?" he asked, looking toward CEO Yuto.

Jenny and Gaia, now seated with their respective Yutos—Jenny on CEO Yuto and Gaia on Military Yuto—adjusted themselves, ready for the discussion. Again, all Yutos felt this connection, their bodies and souls in sync.

CEO Yuto, hugging Jenny's waist confidently, began his report. "Six months ago, our mall and guild launched operations in five major countries, including the Iron Country. Several ninja clans have opened shops in our malls, and we've successfully funneled a portion of the Daimyo's income into our own coffers."

He paused before continuing, "After covering operational expenses and maintaining our gaming spaces and casinos, we've earned 60 million Rio from the malls. Half of that comes directly from the casinos. The guilds have brought in 27 million Rio. We've paid 2 million to each of the six Daimyo, totaling 12 million."

CEO Yuto adjusted the papers in front of him and elaborated further. "Our highest earnings came from the Fire Country, bringing in 22 million Rio. Earth Country followed with 10 million, Thunder Country with 13 million, the Wind Country 7 million, and the Water Country 5 million. The Iron Country, although smaller, still generated 3 million Rio, primarily due to smaller villages being drawn to our mall."

He concluded with a nod, "In total, the mall business has brought in 60 million Rio, and the guilds have drawn revenue from across the lands, with Thunder Country completing the most missions."

Yuto nodded, satisfied with the progress. "Any threats to our operations?" he asked.

CEO Yuto sighed before recounting the recent challenges. "Yes, about two months ago, a group of twenty shinobi targeted our guild. They attempted to ambush our operatives, robbing them outside the city in the forests. Fortunately, we received intel early enough and dispatched Ninju Yuto and Tiju Yuto to deal with them."

CEO Yuto's tone darkened as he began to describe the battle.

The Battle

On a vast plateau near the forest, twenty shinobi surrounded Ninju and Tiju Yuto. Three Jounin led the formation, with Chunin and Genin under their command. Dust stirred as the Yuto brothers approached, their overwhelming presence filling the air.

Ninju's expression remained calm as he began weaving hand seals. His chakra surged, and with a single motion, he unleashed Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu, sending a blazing dragon toward the enemy. One of the Jounin quickly countered with Water Style: Water Wall, barely managing to block the attack. The younger shinobi struggled, beads of sweat forming on their foreheads.

Meanwhile, Tiju disappeared in a blur, using Leaf Whirlwind to launch a spinning kick that took out two Chunin instantly. One Jounin attempted to trap him with Earth Style: Earth Dragon Jutsu, but Tiju shattered the earth pillars effortlessly, his mastery of Taijutsu unmatched.

The shinobi regrouped, launching a combination of Swamp Field Jutsu and lightning-enhanced shuriken. Tiju danced gracefully between the attacks, while Ninju dispersed the projectiles with Wind Style: Great Breakthrough.

Smirking, Ninju cast a subtle Genjutsu. The battlefield warped, enveloping the enemy in a thick mist. Confused, the younger shinobi turned on each other, attacking shadows, while the stronger Jounin struggled to dispel the illusion.

As Ninju controlled the battlefield, Tiju struck with deadly precision, his sword slicing through the enemy ranks. One by one, the Chunin and Genin fell, leaving only the three Jounin. Injured and desperate, they fled into the forest, but the Yuto brothers gave chase, slaughtering them without mercy.

[Ding!] 30,000 Soul Coins Obtained. Chakra increased by 100%.

All the Yutos felt a warm surge of energy course through them, their powers growing significantly.

"Use Soul Bound on the three dead Jounin," Yuto commanded.

[Ding!] Using Soul Bound (1,500 Soul Coins) revives the dead within 15 minutes and makes them your soul slaves, loyal and obedient.

Present Time

Yuto leaned back in his chair, a smile of satisfaction crossing his face. "Well done, everyone. Now, let's move forward," he said, his voice filled with confidence.
