Looking into Obito's indifferent eyes, Terumi Jun bit the tip of his tongue to steady himself and said:

"Please... raise your noble hand and spare my daughter. If you have any requests, just say them."

"Oh?"

Obito looked at Terumi Jun with interest, then let out a small chuckle.

"Oh, in my opinion, whether it's you, your daughter, or the entire Terumi clan...you're all just fish on the chopping block now."

"Not exactly in a position to bargain with me."

With that, he looked away.

"But your words… do give me an idea."

As he spoke, Obito turned back toward the girl he had pinned against the tree trunk, stared at her pale face, and grinned.

"Girl, I'd like to make a deal with you. Interested?"

"You... what do you want?"

Looking at the pulsing red eyes under the mask, Terumi Mei gritted her teeth.

"You."

One word and the expressions of both father and daughter shifted slightly.

"…What did you say?" she asked again.

"Women like you should be smart. You already know the price before the deal starts."

"You heard me right. What I want... is you."

"I want you to become my subordinate. My tool. You'll work for me, no questions asked."

Obito's voice was calm and appreciative but it left no room for negotiation.

He'd already thought this through. In the anime, Terumi Mei eventually became the Fifth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist.

Sure, she didn't do anything groundbreaking in the Fourth Great Ninja War, but look who she was up against.

The moment the Five Kage walked onto the battlefield, they were greeted by Madara.

Big Boss Madara.

Her teammates? Let's review.

One was an old fossil with a one-shot Kekkei Genkai, oldest of the bunch, fought Madara in his prime, Deidara's sensei...

Then you've got Tsunade, Senju Hashirama's granddaughter, the protagonist's grandma or whatever. She's got a truckload of plot armor.

Next? Big, angry muscle man... Killer Bee's brother. Another Jinchūriki connection.

Also coated in that thick protagonist-bestie plot armor.

And finally... Panda Eyes Gaara. Edgy emo friend of Naruto for years. The plot loves that guy.

Only Terumi Mei? Nothing. No major bonds with Naruto, no glowing seals, no childhood flashbacks with ramen.

She got clowned in Boruto, too.

But if she stood shoulder-to-shoulder with those Kage during the war, that means she's Kage-level material. No doubt.

Which means... her potential is huge. Much greater than Yugao's. Way more valuable to train. A perfect future tool woman.

Here, after Obito's declaration, Terumi Mei's expression darkened.

So that's what this is.

Still, she drew a slow breath and asked:

"…What do I get?"

"Being alive," Obito replied flatly.

"You, your father, your remaining clan members get to live."

"Your freedom alone is enough to buy their lives. Not a bad deal."

"Plus...I'll give you power. Real power. The kind that makes others bow."

Terumi Mei's stiff expression eased a little at that.

But she'd always been proud. Too proud to kneel that easily.

"How about it?" Obito asked quietly, watching her with calm eyes.

"Could you… maybe offer another condition, like—"

"Hahahaha…"

Before she could finish, Obito laughed coldly.

Did she really start thinking he was a pussy… or worse, a fucking pushover?

His hand tightened ever so slightly on her neck.

"Urgh."

Her words caught in her throat, a soft sound slipping out.

Obito's brow twitched.

That sound… was dangerous.

If he remembered right, Terumi Mei should be the same age as him.

So this beautiful, angry girl in front of him was sixteen.

And right now, under his fingers… she was soft. Way too soft.

Between her flushed face, her body pressed against the trunk, and that curvy figure… his thoughts started wandering.

Yup. He was getting dickstracted.

Well, well… looked like it was time for Hentai Protagonist Obito to clock in.

In his free time, he'd come up with all kinds of questionable jutsu especially when his brain had been hijacked by his dick.

One of them… one very experimental technique… just might come in handy right about now.

Thinking of this, Obito suddenly became interested.

He didn't know what the effect of that Jutsu would be… but if it worked?

That would be fucking amazing.

Totally worth a try.

And as for a test subject?

Well, wasn't there one right in front of him?

She was good-looking. The figure? Even better. And she was literally pinned by him at the moment.

A ready-made test subject.

Yes, after seeing Terumi's breathing get heavier and her face start turning red from lack of air, Obito let go of his hand.

"Ahem, ahem!"

"Whew…"

As she collapsed onto the branch, back against the trunk, she greedily sucked in fresh air. Her 'headlights' rose and fell dramatically with each breath.

Obito calmly wiped the blood off the back of his hand and waited for her breathing to stabilize before speaking slowly:

"Miss Mei is really forgetful."

"I said earlier...you, your father, your entire clan? You're fish on my chopping board. Not exactly in a position to negotiate."

"Now… do you understand?"

Terumi's face tensed slightly, heart thudding.

"I… got it."

"Good!" Obito grinned.

"Remember only two choices. Say yes to my deal… and you all live."

"Or say no…"

He glanced down at the girl slumped back, a teasing glint in his eye.

"Miss Terumi, you wouldn't want your father and people to die with you, would you?"

"I…" Terumi Mei bit her lip, expression turning sour.

At that moment, unable to watch his daughter get pushed around like this, Terumi Jun finally spoke:

"My lord… with how ruthless the Fourth Mizukage is, there's no chance he'll let us live."

"Oh? Is that so?" Obito raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"You judging my ability to negotiate already?"

"Or…" he tilted his head, amused, "…do you just think I don't have any cards to play?"

Then he turned slightly toward the shadows in the nearby trees.

"I think the Fourth Mizukage will agree with me. Isn't that right… Mizukage-sama?"

"What…?" the father and daughter froze.

Rustle… rustle… rustle…

As Obito's words faded, a quiet rustling came from the woods.

Then, out from the darkness, a small figure stepped forward

"Yes," the voice answered.
