"Tsk, couldn't you have just come to me? You even teleported me here. Are you that lazy?"

Tsunade rubbed her messy blonde hair, looking somewhat tired from her work as Hokage. Her face, however, hadn't changed at all; she was still a casually elegant beauty. Her figure was full and well-proportioned, her skin smooth as jade. Every gesture she made revealed an elegance and composure, as if she were a noble leader.

"Well, since this time I'm really leaving, I had to inform you, didn't I?" Considering her busy schedule, Ren laughed teasingly. "I hope I'm not disturbing you from your work."

"Tch." Tsunade clicked her tongue, crossing her arms and propping up her chest in a way that Ren couldn't tear his eyes from. Noticing his gaze, a faint, imperceptible smile played on her lips.

"I usually leave most of the work to Shizune, so I'm busy but not busy." When Shizune was mentioned, Tsunade got annoyed; Ren had even provoked Shizune.

"Ren, you can't leave yet. Come with me to a place."

As Tsunade said this, Kushina and Mikoto also stood up, each taking one of his arms. "Ren, you really might need to go there," they said seriously.

"..." Ren blinked. It seemed he had no choice. "You all can explore freely for now. I'll go see what's happening."

After telling Nami and the others, Ren left with the three women.

"Let's go see the new Konoha!" Furina suggested, barely containing her excitement. The others all agreed, their gazes quickly falling upon Kaguya.

Exusiai scratched her head. "Um, Kaguya, what are you planning to do?"

Kaguya coldly uttered a single word: "Wait."

Seeing this, the others didn't press her further.

As for Ren, he followed the three into a strange building called Minjia Residence. At first, he was confused, but upon sensing a familiar power of time, he understood.

Opening the large door and entering the spacious hall further confirmed his thoughts.

A quick glance revealed about twenty beautiful women, with varied physiques and attire, all gazing at him with expectant eyes.

"Finally, we meet again, Ren. Is it time for you to give us an explanation?" Mei Terumi, wearing a blue high-cut dress, licked her vibrant red lips, her eerie eyes fixed on him.

"Ren... Brother Ren, long time no see!" Hinata, now a young girl, shyly tapped her toes, her face flushed red.

Sakura Haruno, a girl with short pink hair, gritted her teeth. "Damn it, why are there so many people? Why didn't you tell me then!"

Ino Yamanaka rolled her eyes at her. "If you don't like it, you can leave."

Konan, Rin Nohara, and the others—plus Kushina, Mikoto, and Tsunade—a total of twenty-nine women he had made promises with, gathered at this moment, their chirping voices incessant.

It felt like it was about to turn into an argument.

Tsunade, leaning by the door, sneered playfully. "Heh, this is all the mess you left for me. This old woman has been covering for you for over a decade!"

Thinking of this, Tsunade felt exhausted. "Let's see what you do now," she teased. "So many... you'll turn into a dried corpse, won't you?"

"Ren..." Mikoto and Kushina were also a bit worried.

Unexpectedly, listening to Tsunade's mocking and the impending argument, Ren's eyes blazed. He waved his hand and shouted, "You want an explanation? Very well!"

As his voice fell, with a clang, a strong wind howled, and the door slammed shut.

"What are you doing? You scared me!" Tsunade, by the door, jumped in fright.

Ren's gaze swept over her. Seeing the green necklace on her neck, a smile appeared on his lips. He grabbed her arm and pulled her over.

"I'm going to take on thirty!"

The group was strolling on the street. Furina was attracted by all sorts of novelties, while Tokisaki Kurumi acted like a demure young lady. Mumei and Esdeath followed boredly. Exusiai used the money Tsunade gave her to buy many explosive tags. Ch'en carefully observed the details of the people, happy to see the prosperity.

Suddenly, Ren's voice echoed in their minds.

[Only two days left. Have fun. The mission ends in two days! Hiss!]

[Temari, relax. Ino, Sakura, stop arguing. Konan, come here. Tsunade, still daring to be arrogant? Hinata, don't be so shy. Mei Terumi, can you let go of my hand? Izumi, Rin, you...]

This sudden message stunned everyone.

"What happened to Ren? He sounds very chaotic. Did he run into trouble?" Furina suspected he might have encountered an enemy.

"Should we go help?" Ch'en had already gripped her Chixiao, ready to draw her sword.

"Brother will be fine," Mumei said simply.

"Uh." Exusiai felt awkward. She had encountered the people with those names during her time travels. The situation was indeed chaotic, but it seemed different from the chaos Furina and Ch'en imagined. Her face was red, and she didn't know what to say.

On the other hand, Tokisaki Kurumi smiled gently. "Everyone, there's no need to panic. Since Ren-kun said to have fun, it's highly likely that everything is fine. Let's make the most of these last two days."

Her simple suggestion eased the tense atmosphere. Thinking about it, Ren had sounded very relaxed, so the problem shouldn't be big.

They had a good time for the last two days. Until the notification appeared.

[Ding! Detected that the Time-Thief has died, the timeline has been restored, Doom Companion has ended, and the 7-Star Abnormal Doomsday has concluded!]

[Ren gained 25 million doomsday points. Esdeath gained 1.5 million doomsday points. Exusiai and Tokisaki Kurumi gained 1 million doomsday points. Kushina gained 500,000 doomsday points. Nami, Tsunade, Ch'en, Furina, and Mumei each gained 100,000 doomsday points!]

[Doom Companion ended! Time has resumed! Everyone will now automatically return!]
