Chapter 133 – Demon Bo...Gang?

"Hmm?"

Soaking comfortably in the hot spring, Gin suddenly felt a wave of memories flash through his mind. After a few minutes of processing them, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Looks like they've arrived safely in the Land of Lightning."

While escorting the Hagoromo clan during their migration, Gin had split off two Mokuton (Wood Release) clones to protect the women and children. When handing them over to the shinobi of the Land of Lightning, he had the two clones transform into ordinary clan members and blend into the group.

Part of it was to guard against any accidents during the journey. But mostly, he wanted to see whether the Hagoromo clan would really be treated well, as promised, once they reached the Land of Lightning.

From the feedback the clones gave, it seemed the Kumo shinobi were truly eager for talent.

Not only were the Hagoromo clan not mistreated upon arrival—they were received like honored guests. The clan head of the Yorugetsu (Night Moon) clan personally welcomed them with a grand reception.

"You two beams of light... don't let me down."

Gin tossed the damp towel onto his head and sighed, silently praying for his two "jail bros."

"Hahaha~~~"

Just as he was lost in thought, a light, bell-like feminine laugh rang out from the adjacent bath. In the next moment, Gin's serious expression shifted into a strange grin.

Next door... was the co-ed bath!

"Tch! I've never experienced this kind of cultural tradition before. I must investigate it with a critical eye!"

Gin righteously hypnotized himself with this excuse. He tied a towel around his waist and—before even finishing his internal monologue—his feet moved on their own, sprinting out of the men's bath with no hesitation.

He arrived at the door between the male and co-ed baths, looking around nervously. After confirming no one was nearby, he swiftly lifted the curtain and slipped inside.

"Oops, I slipped~"

As the heat surged around him and the mist enveloped his vision, Gin "accidentally" staggered forward and steadied himself with mock embarrassment.

"Yo~ ladies, a handsome guy just joined you!"

The next moment, a mature woman's voice replied cheerfully, unshaken by Gin's entrance—instead, she sounded delighted.

Yes! Not just one!

Gin roared inwardly with joy. This gamble had clearly paid off.

"What are you standing there for, little cutie? Come on in~"

"Oh no, how could I possibly intrude~"

His words said one thing, but his eyes widened, desperately trying to peer through the fog to admire the beautiful scenery within.

Damn this infernal mist!

Gin completely forgot he was a dōjutsu user. He tugged at his eyelids, trying to get a better view.

That voice just now... it sounded a lot like the lady boss from earlier. Could there be... special services?

Recalling the woman's stunning face and curvy figure, Gin's eyes flashed red with a wolfish glint. His nostrils flared, mouth stretched in a wild grin, and his hands started to feel around toward the source of the voice.

Thunk!

Just then, Gin bumped into some kind of strange, squishy wall.

"Huh? Why is this wall so... soft and jiggly?"

He frowned, pulling his hand away from the warm, damp, squishy surface.

"Eeeek~ don't be so impatient, handsome~"

The sultry voice sounded again—from right behind that strange wall. Gin scratched his head. Was this hot spring built with private suites?

Rumble~

Suddenly, the wall began to move with a thunderous noise. To Gin's horror, it turned around, and a massive shadow descended from above, blocking out the light and dispersing the mist in all directions—revealing the truth.

"Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo... Gang?"

The moment he saw what stood before him, Gin's brain crashed. All he could think were the words: Demon Bo Gang.

"Come closer, let big sis take a look at you~"

Mouth hanging open in shock, Gin was scooped up effortlessly by one of the huge hands and brought face-to-face with the source of that seductive voice.

"Hmm... pretty good-looking. But there's something about your face that just screams 'punch me'."

No one would've guessed that such a lovely voice could come from such a terrifying face. Gin, finally snapping out of it, stared into the burning red lips in front of him and nearly passed out.

Three hundred pounds? No... at least five hundred!

"Um... this voluptuous lady... are you perhaps from the Akimichi clan?"

Even now, Gin's curiosity couldn't be stopped. He had never seen such a massive woman before.

"Heehee~ you're such a sweet talker. But I'm still single, you know~"

Plap~ plap~

The massive woman who resembled a Bo Gang laughed joyfully, her flabby flesh clapping rhythmically with every movement. The hot spring echoed with the sound of her laughter and flesh slapping.

Overwhelmed by the mixed aroma coming from her mouth, Gin's stomach churned. He nearly threw up the snacks he'd eaten with Hikari and Chiri earlier.

"Don't hog the cutie! Let us have some fun too~"

"Yeah, yeah!"

"Heeheehee~"

Gin slowly turned his head—and nearly fainted.

Behind this massive woman stood several more just like her, all staring at him with glowing green eyes and drooling mouths like a pack of starving wolves eying a tender rabbit.

"Aaaahhhh!!! Stay back!!!"

The horror nearly made Gin faint. His dark eyes turned crimson as three tomoe spun wildly from the visual trauma.

An icy, sinister energy burst forth from his body, chilling the once-hot air and forming droplets of condensation that began to fall like rain.

"Huh? Girls, do you feel like it got colder?"

The Bo Gang holding Gin tilted her head and asked the others.

"Yeah, a little. Let's get back into the spring and warm up!"

"Good idea~"

They all cheerfully agreed.

Meanwhile, in the women's bath.

Soaking peacefully, Hikari turned her head and revealed her crimson eyes to the stunned Chiri.

"The Mangekyō Sharingan is an evolution of the regular Sharingan. Only those who undergo intense emotional trauma and awaken special chakra can unlock it."

"This... this is the Uchiha's strongest form?"

Chiri was captivated by the strange, mesmerizing pattern in Hikari's eyes. She couldn't look away.

"So... Gin-senpai is actually the strongest among us!"

She forced her gaze away, her heart racing, and said sincerely:

Gin: Oi oi... you can't see the giant Susanoo I summoned?

"Heh, not really."

Hikari smiled faintly and blinked toward Chiri with a nostalgic tone.

"Gin once had the same eyes I do now."

"Gin-sensei?"

This revelation left Chiri reeling. The teacher she thought was a slacker had... Mangekyō?

"But... you said 'once'?"

Hikari calmly pointed to her own eyes.

"He gave me his Mangekyō... so I wouldn't lose my vision."

"Lose vision?"

"Yeah. After awakening Mangekyō, the dōjutsu comes with a curse. Overuse leads to blindness."

She recalled the flickering darkness she once endured—and the clarity she gained after transplanting Gin's eyes.

"But with his eyes, I broke the curse. My vision will never fade again."

"Then Gin-sensei now…"

Chiri thought of his eyes—still Sharingan, but only three tomoe.

"I don't know. Maybe the clan head gave him a regular pair."

Even Hikari didn't know the full story.

"Um~~~"

Chiri's eyes began to spin as she seemed to hesitate with another question.

"Something else on your mind?"

Hikari noticed her discomfort and gently asked.

"Um... your Mangekyō is so pretty. I was just wondering... what did Gin-sensei's Mangekyō look like? Was it just as beautiful?"

That question caught Hikari off guard. She thought Chiri wanted to learn about techniques—not patterns.

"Well... how should I say this..."

Hikari had seen it, but found it hard to describe. She could tell Chiri cared more about aesthetics than combat.

"Was it cool? Or complex?"

Chiri leaned in, determined to uncover this secret.

"Ugh... it was…"

Hikari looked conflicted. Would this ruin the girl's image of Gin?

"What was it?!"

Chiri pressed in, her soft figure nudging closer. She refused to let Hikari hog all of Gin's secrets.

"AAAAAHHH!!!"

Just then, a piercing scream shattered the calm.

Both girls immediately grew alert. As trained kunoichi, they sensed a cold chakra surging nearby—growing stronger and darker.

"Crap! Gin-sensei is in that bath... and he's naked!"
