Chapter 18 – Establishing The Dungeon – 3
We left the house together and walked through the quiet Senju compound. The morning air felt fresh as we made our way to the old building tucked away in the corner.
The ladies-only massage shop looked modest from the outside, with faded wooden walls and a simple sign hanging above the entrance saying "Senju Massage Shop"
When we reached the front door, I stopped. Tsunade and Shizune stood beside me while watching me curiously, wondering what I was going to do.
"This is the place," I said.
I bit my thumb just enough to draw a single drop of blood. I let it fall onto the entrance step. The moment the blood touched the ground, I activated the SM Dungeon from the system inventory.
I didn't mentally commend the SM Dungeon for taking over the massage shop.
A soft golden light suddenly spread across the entire building. The old wooden walls shimmered and transformed, becoming smoother and more elegant with beautiful carvings.
The faded sign repaired itself and glowed with new lettering that read "Divine Touch Massage Parlor."
The door widened slightly, and a subtle but powerful aura of chakra filled the air.
Inside, I could sense the SM Dungeon equipment had fully integrated and upgraded, creating hidden rooms perfect for my plans while keeping the front area looking like a high-class massage shop.
Tsunade's eyes widened in genuine shock. She stepped closer to the newly upgraded shop. She was so surprised that her mouth was slightly open as she stared at the transformed building.
"What… what just happened?" she whispered. "This was just an old massage shop. Now it feels completely different. The chakra here is so pure and strong. No, something is wrong. It has trace of natural energy inside it."
Tsunade had guessed correctly. This massage shop had various energies. The most dominant was chakra. But unlike that chakra found in the surroundings, the chakra here was very pure. If I mean the practice of chakra circulation here, then it would be at least three times faster than the normal.
And then there was a natural energy. Not only was it not as aggressive as the sacred land. But it was also gently healing the body.
Finally, there was a very small, almost negligible amount of divine energy. And what does it do? Even I was not sure. But it was one of the most powerful energies.
"It really reacted to your blood… Alex, are you sure this is a Senju relic? I have never felt anything like this in our clan grounds before."
Tsunade's voice was filled with a mix of amazement and slight suspicion. As the Senju princess, she looked both excited and a little overwhelmed that something so powerful had been hiding right under her nose.
Shizune was also frozen, surprised for a moment. She had her hands covering her mouth. Her eyes were wide with disbelief as she looked from the glowing building to me and back again.
"Lady Tsunade… this is incredible," she said, her voice trembling with excitement. "The structure changed right in front of us. The wood, the sign, and even the atmosphere feel heavier with chakra and natural energy. It upgraded itself with just one drop of Alex's blood. This kind of reaction… it must be an extremely high-level artifact. It might be even one of the tools of the Sage of the Six Paths. I have never seen anything respond so dramatically."
Shizune's cheeks were still slightly flushed from earlier, but now her expression showed pure professional curiosity mixed with awe. She stepped forward carefully, almost afraid to touch the new door.
"Alex," Tsunade said, turning to me with sharp eyes, "if this really is connected to the Senju clan, why did it only activate for you? And how did you know dropping your blood would do this?"
I could see both women were deeply impressed, though Tsunade's reaction carried more authority and wonder while Shizune looked fascinated and a bit nervous about the unknown power.
The upgraded massage shop now stood before us, elegant and mysterious, ready to serve as my perfect hidden base.
Tsunade turned to me with sharp, questioning eyes. "Alex, if this really is connected to the Senju clan, why did it only activate for you? And how did you know dropping your blood would do this?"
I shrugged lightly and gave her a calm smile. "I don't know. I just feel like it. It was calling me and telling me to drop the blood. And is that why it only activated for me? Maybe because I have the bloodline of both Senju and Uchiha mixed into my body. Other than that, I do not have any explanation."
She stared at me for a moment, clearly not fully satisfied with the answer, but the visible transformation of the building left her too curious to press further right now.
Shizune glanced between us, still looking amazed. "Should we… go inside?"
"Yes," I said. "Let's take a look."
I pushed open the newly upgraded door and stepped inside first, with Tsunade and Shizune following close behind me. We all enjoyed the new massage shop.
The interior of the massage shop had changed dramatically. What was once a simple, slightly dusty parlor had transformed into an elegant and luxurious space.
There was a soft, warm lighting glowing from beautiful lanterns hanging from the ceiling, which were casting a gentle golden hue over everything.
The floors were now made of smooth, polished dark wood that felt warm underfoot. There were rich, deep red and gold curtains hung along the walls, creating a sense of privacy and intimacy.
Several high-quality massage tables were arranged neatly in separate sections, each surrounded by elegant wooden screens for privacy.
The air was filled with a faint, soothing scent of essential oils and incense that immediately relaxed the body.
In one corner, there was a beautiful waiting area with comfortable cushioned seats and a low table. Along the back wall stood a large cabinet filled with neatly organized oils, towels, and various massage tools that looked far more advanced than ordinary ones.
But beneath the elegant surface, I could feel the SM Dungeon's influence.
There were hidden doors and shifting walls waiting for my command, ready to reveal fully equipped private rooms designed for more intense sex sessions.
The entire building was pulsing with a subtle, seductive chakra that was making the atmosphere feel slightly hot and sensual.
There were even more hidden functions. But to fully know that, I need to explore it even more. But one thing was certain. This whole massage shop was filled with the same that was similar to my Charm and Sex Pheromones skills.
Tsunade walked slowly through the main room, running her fingers along one of the massage tables. Her expression was a mixture of awe and disbelief.
"This… this is incredible," she murmured. "It used to be just a plain old shop. Now it feels like a high-class retreat for nobles. The materials, the atmosphere, and even the chakra flow inside are completely different. It really upgraded itself."
Shizune's eyes were wide as she looked around, gently touching the soft curtains. "The quality is amazing, Lady Tsunade. These massage tables look specially designed. And the scent in the air… it makes my body feel strangely warm and relaxed at the same time. This place doesn't feel like a normal massage parlor anymore. It feels… seductive."
Tsunade turned back to me, crossing her arms under her generous chest. "You really awakened all of this with just one drop of blood? Alex, this relic is far more interesting than I imagined. But why is this the massage shop? If it was on the divine relic of the Senju clan, then shouldn't it be a thing like a training ground or bloodline in the awakening pool or something that increases the strength of ninjas? Why is this the massage shop for ladies?"
Tsuande was really smart as she was asking on-point questions. But I also have a plan for them.
"Tsuande, how can I know? I am also surprised as you are. From the initial connection, I can faintly know some of the functions."
Tsuande looked at me, and she was waiting for an answer.
