Tenten let out a groan and then lay unconscious in Ryun's arms. It was at this moment that Anko rushed out and saw everything, saying, "Are you sure you can handle this? If not, it's okay to mention my situation."
Anko was, of course, referring to all those crazy things she had done before when she was drunk. Ryun said with a smile, "Don't worry. However, I'll have to trouble you to stand guard for us next."
Anko quickly nodded, indicating that this was absolutely no problem.
Then, Ryun picked up Tenten, went to her room, and laid her down on the bed.
Just now, Tenten had only been caught in Ryun's genjutsu; the problem hadn't been resolved yet.
So how should this problem be resolved? The answer was, naturally, to tell the truth.
Soon, Tenten regained consciousness, looking at Ryun with a puzzled expression, and then her face flushed crimson.
"What was wrong with me just now? It felt like I had a rather embarrassing dream. I dreamed that you and Anko-senpai—"
Tenten didn't continue, but looked at the boy in front of her with a shy expression, hoping he could give her an excuse.
Even if it was just to deceive her?
Ryun, however, said, "There's something I want to show you. I don't know if you'd be willing to accept it?"
Tenten nodded without hesitation, and Ryun then began the illusionary inheritance.
However, unlike the single scene with Ino and Tenten, this time Ryun had heavily edited a large amount of the previous simulation process, basically showing the shared experiences of Ryun and Tenten.
The two of them felt as if they were immersed in a holographic movie. Things around them changed rapidly, and they watched their experiences over the next few years like a revolving lantern, until Tenten gave birth to a daughter, and Ryun named her Nojuro Tenten.
Of course, the part where Ryun got seven people pregnant in one night wasn't missed either.
Tenten even couldn't help but cry out, "That's not me!" when she saw her simulated self using a belt to bind Ryun's hands, playing the wildest and having the most fun.
But when she later saw herself holding her daughter and breastfeeding her, a sympathetic expression appeared on her small face.
At this moment, there was no doubt that she believed all of this.
Finally, the simulation ended.
The place where the two of them were located also changed, becoming their wedding room.
It was only then that Tenten slowly spoke: "What were all those just now? Were they illusions? Or did you use genjutsu on me?"
Ryun calmly began to speak: "This is my biggest secret. You all must have been curious about why I became stronger so quickly, right? Just like you saw, I can draw knowledge and experience from the future."
"And in this process, the relationship between you, me, and the other girls also changes."
"But one thing that puzzled me was that our child would always have the same name."
"So I thought of one possibility: that we are destined to have such a child in the future. No matter how the future changes, she will always have this name."
"Therefore, I dare not gamble."
"I'm afraid that the child who should be ours might disappear. So I must work hard to make the scenes I see in the future come true, one by one, to ensure their appearance."
"This is the fundamental reason why I want to establish a large Nojuro clan. Today, I've told you everything. I don't expect you to forgive or tolerate me, but I hope you can understand the difficult position I'm in that led me to do this."
The reason Ryun hadn't shown the complete life simulation to the girls before was that he was afraid they wouldn't be able to accept the reality.
Or that they would have other speculations about the simulation process, such as worrying that Ryun had done something strange to them. But this matter still needed to be addressed eventually.
Otherwise, relying solely on Ryun's own verbal accounts and teaching would be too slow for them to learn the abilities from the simulation.
So Ryun decided to try it on Tenten because he felt she was the most innocent, adorable, and also the most trustworthy.
After all, Tenten's companions were also straightforward people, unlike the group of smart people around Ino, Sakura, and Hinata.
Of course, doing this carried significant risks, but since Ryun had already decided to teach Tenten the Flying Thunder God Technique, this risk was worth taking.
After listening to Ryun's words, Tenten fell into shock and silence. She needed time to slowly understand and accept this information.
Ryun also chose to give her time. The two of them stood facing each other in the simulation space for a long time, when Tenten suddenly said, "Can you let me watch it again?"
"Of course."
Ryun played the simulation again. This time, Tenten would occasionally ask Ryun to slow it down, and sometimes even asked him to pause it.
But there were also times when she asked Ryun to fast-forward.
"I don't want to watch this kind of thing in such detail. At this time, I must have— yes, I must have been drinking!"
Tenten urged Ryun to skip over the scenes of her having in-depth exchanges with him over a hundred times, but judging by her furtive glances, she was still very interested in all of it.
Finally, Tenten came to a conclusion: "I believe that was me. After all, there are many little habits that you probably wouldn't notice either."
Ryun didn't believe it and said, "Oh, really?"
"Of course!"
"For example, the color and texture of my hair ties are different. I choose hair ties of different colors and textures depending on my mood that day and the different things I need to do. As for the rules behind it, I've never told anyone."
After saying this, Tenten proudly lifted her chin, as if waiting for Ryun's praise.
Ryun naturally knew what to say at this moment: "I see. Now I've learned another adorable side of you. You're making me more and more fascinated."
Tenten blushed, glared at Ryun, and really wanted to shout that he was lying just now.
But recalling the details of the simulation, especially when Ryun went to steal the Six Paths Treasures for her, and when they studied the Chakra Cannon together day and night for her sake, Tenten's heart softened.
Ryun had indeed become a playboy, but it couldn't be helped.
The moment she saw her child, she was captivated by that cute little face.
Ryun faced even more; how could he bear to give up so many of his own flesh and blood?
Moreover, Ryun chose to be honest with her. This was a huge plus in Tenten's book.
After all, the people around her were all simple and direct. If Ryun had played tricks and schemes with her, she really wouldn't have known how to face him then.
"Have you told anyone else about this? I mean Sakura and Ino."
Ryun shook his head and said, "You're the first. Anko goes without saying."
The corner of Tenten's mouth curled into a pleased arc. So she was still the most important one.
"It's better not to tell them about this for now. I'm afraid they'll have a hard time accepting it. I'll slowly try to guide them, and when they're ready, I'll let you know."
Ryun caught the implication in Tenten's words, took her hand, and said, "Does this mean you forgive me?"
"Forgive you? It's not that easy. I just understand why you and Anko ended up in this kind of relationship. But you still haven't told me why you two had to do that kind of thing!"
"Is that kind of thing absolutely necessary?"
Ryun spread his hands and said, "This really isn't my fault. Actually, both Ino and Sakura invited me, but I refused them."
"Wait, when did this happen? How come I didn't know?"
"It was back when I applied the True Spirit Seal to them."
A vein popped on Tenten's forehead. She had thought they were good sisters, but it turned out each of them was thinking about sneaking ahead. Thank goodness Ryun refused them; otherwise, she didn't know which number she would be.
"Wait, that's not right. You still haven't answered my question. Why did you do that kind of thing with Anko?"
Looking at Tenten, who was persistently seeking an answer, Ryun could only rub his nose and say, "During the New Year, Anko took the initiative to do that kind of thing. At that time, I didn't have the strength to refuse her."
"As for now... sorry, but she's also the mother of my child. I don't want to make her sad."
Tenten wobbled, looking as if her soul was about to be drained away. Finally, flames shot from her eyes, and she grabbed the Banana Palm Fan and the Seven-Star Sword piled in the corner, ready to rush out and fight Anko to the death.
In the end, Ryun stopped her, saying, "Tenten, I can only open this place once a month. Going out now would waste it."
Tenten's body trembled. She blushed, lowered her head, and said, "Right, after all, we still have important things to do. Well then... let's begin."
Ryun nodded and started the feedback of the bloodline power.
