Chapter 10

The following day, taking into consideration the reaction that Temari had to his visit, Sasuke decided to give her a break for a few days and let it cool off before approaching her one more time. Instead, the Uchiha went for the last one of the girls he had decided to induct into his clan: Tenten.

As with all the other girls, Tenten was reluctant at first, but soon gave in just like the others. Especially because Sasuke had taken her idol, Tsunade, with him to help to explain the situation.

Sasuke then, as with the other girls, had sex with her for the night and then left as soon as the morning came. That day, he'd have another meeting with his top advisors to discuss the going ons of the hunt for the rebel front. Also regarding his top advisors, Sasuke had heard some gossip among the guards that Karin's baby had died on childbirth a few days ago. He thought that she would've been devastated by her loss, but she wasn't, Karin was acting like nothing had happened, and Sasuke thought that was very fishy. He wondered weather he was given the full truth of the matter. Regardless, he decided that it wasn't the time to press the issue as he had other way more pressing concerns like the rebels.

He reunited with his group in that same top secret area of the Uchiha Police Force headquarters. Jugo and Suigetsu were looking especially worried, and getting worried wasn't something that Suigetsu did without a very serious reason.

Sasuke then asked for a full report for them on the rebel situation, Karin decided to speak up first.

"The police force arrested, as usual, some civillian rebel sympathizers at villages in the countryside and had then tortured for information." Said the redhead girl, fixing her glasses with her finger. "But, again, as usual, they seemed to be only sympathizers and not have any involvement with the actual rebels. So it was a moot point." Karin was visibly disappointed that her men weren't of much use, at least she didn't seem to be the only one.

"My guys were investigating the trail that these rebels left behind after they crashed the Northern Hideout. But somehow, it went cold, and those were my best trackers on top of that. Talk about hummiliating!" Suigetsu started, hanging himself back at his chair and putting his hands on the back of his head. "These rebels are very good at covering their tracks, disturbingly good. Their leader is most definately not a normal ninja." Jugo complemented, very serious like always.

Sasuke just stood there in silence and listened to his advisors speak. He seemed to be just serious and emotionless like always, however, inside, he was furious. These rebels had Madara's body, they were dangerous, and had to be stopped fast.

"Listen to me." Said Sasuke, getting up. "I want progress on this investigation by the time of our next meeting, and if not, it won't be pretty for you. I won't tolerate any more incompetence." The advisors all looked away, scared. Sasuke was a terrifying person to them, and they were sure that he wasn't above even killing them if he deemed necessary.

"I may have something to add to this discussion." Orochimaru intervened, with his usual smug tone of voice. "You all know that i have extensive knowledge regarding the study of corpses and their secrets. And i assure you, they won't have anything of use ready from studying Madara's body for a few years at least. So there's no need to rush this investigation." The snake, finished speaking.

That calmed Sasuke a little bit. He trusted in Orochimaru, the snake had proved his loyalty back in the war. And not having to worry that much about the rebels for the time being also meant that Sasuke would be able to focus more in his family.

The meeting soon came to and end and everyone returned to their duties. Sasuke went straight back to his manor, it was already getting dark and he had to visit Tenten that night.

Along the way, Sasuke saw his wives and children having fun the gardens, taking advantage that the rain had stopped for a little bit. That sight warned his heart a bit and calmed his mind about the whole rebel situation, but he decided not to go greet them for the moment, as that could make him neglect his duties about going to find Tenten.

Sasuke fucked Tenten from behind, his balls hitting her ass as he penetrated the girl's pussy. She moaned in excitement and soon had an orgasm, which then made the man cum as well and fill her insides with semen.

Very tired, the couple laid in the bed to rest for a bit before continuing the intercourse. All that was still very awkward for Tenten, Sasuke reminded her a little bit of Neji, whom she had a crush in the past, so it made everything a little bit easier. The sex was good too, Tenten was a virgin so it had hurt in the beginning but she'd be lying if she said that she didn't like it now, especially after all this time without any other meaningful social interaction.

But there still was this weird feeling, that she still couldn't get fully on board with Sasuke because she didn't even know his entire perspective, and that was starting to weigh heavily on her shoulders, so she decided to confront Sasuke about it.

"Hey…" Said her, grabbing Sasuke's shoulder, gaining his attention. "Can i ask you something? It's very important." Asked the girl, scared of what he'd say. "Sure." Awnsered Sasuke, without even turning around to look at her.

"Lady Tsunade is my idol, becoming like her was always my goal and she was even the reason why i became a kunoichi on the first place." Said Tenten, thinking back to her team introductions with Team Guy a few years ago. "So when i saw that she fully supported what you're doing, i decided to do that too." She continued, a little bit embarassed.

"But i, personally, still can't shake off the fact that i don't agree with what you're doing. And that may be just because i don't even *know* why is it that you're doing it. So please tell me why, Sasuke." The girl finished, the room going silent for a few more instants.

Eventually, Sasuke got up the bed and went to drink some water at the end table. His pale figure reflecting the moonlight, making the girl blush a little bit. After drinking his cup of water, Sasuke looked outside of the window and started talking.

"I did all this to fix the mistakes of the leaders who came before me." Said the Uchiha, as Tenten listened to it attentively.

"Before the formation of the the ninja village system, i'm sure that you're aware of the chaos that constantly befell the world." He was right, Tenten had heard about that era on history class at the academy. "The first hokage, Hashirama Senju, tried to solve these problems by creating the ninja villages and distributing power equally between them, in the form of the tailed beasts." The man continued.

"But all that accomplished was the creation of conflicts in even larger scales. Children were still going to war, and body counts got higher and higher with each great ninja war." Sasuke's voice was starting to get a little emotional, as he remembered the most painful part of his life. "And with that, rampant corruption in the village's power structure also became a major problem. Piles of filth like Danzo were behind atrocities never seen before in history." Said Sasuke, thinking back to his clan's massacre, but trying to stay vague in order not to go against Itachi's wishes of keeping everything under wraps.

"The ninja village system had ample time to prove it's failiure. All it accomplished was increasing the scale of every problem we already had before. And so, i decided to do away with it and try something different. To concentrate all the power in a single overlord, who'd rule by being the center of all the fear and hate of the people." Sasuke then finally looked at Tenten in the eyes. "This is my motivation. This is why i need to have heirs to succeed me when i pass away, and also why Tsunade chose to support me." Finished Sasuke, with his usual coldness.

Tenten was mesmerized. It made sense. She had seen the horrors of the ninja war with her own eyes, she saw the corruption and misery too. And since the village system already proved to be a failiure, why not replace it with something else? She was starting to see why her idol Tsunade would support Sasuke's heinous deeds.

That awkward feeling had disappeared, and the girl finally knew that she could get behind what Sasuke was doing. Now, she could enjoy the sex and his company without feeling guilty.

"Then… shall we continue from where we left off?" The girl got up too, displaying her full nudity to Sasuke, who'd then carry on with their night of sex. There was only more girl Sasuke needed to convince, but then again, that was easier said than done.

To be continued...

Hey there guys, hope you liked the new chapter. Now to adress some things about it.I intentionally glossed over Sasuke approaching Tenten because i figured that you guys already read through simmilar scenes a million times in this fic so, since it wouldn't be anything unique like the Temari one, i didn't feel the need to detail it that much.We're getting to an important turning point in the story, so stay tuned!
