"Hey, hey! Why are you stopping already? That fight just now didn't even count as a warm-up."
Seeing the Kaguya clan cease their attacks, Yuzuru frowned in dissatisfaction.
At his words, the middle-aged man in his forties stiffened.
In that battle just now, over three hundred members of the Kaguya clan had died—nearly one-third of their entire population.
And yet, in the other party's mouth, it hadn't even counted as a warm-up?
Did this bastard have to slaughter every last member of the Kaguya clan before he'd be satisfied?!
Though fury burned within him, after witnessing Yuzuru's power firsthand, the middle-aged man forced a smile onto his face.
"Lord Yuzuru, those who attacked you earlier were all traitors of our Kaguya clan. They deserved to die."
"The remaining clan members are all willing to follow you and relocate to Konoha."
Yuzuru raised a brow and sheathed the long blade in his hand. "And you are?"
The man immediately replied, "I am the current clan head of the Kaguya clan, Kaguya Nobuo."
"The clan head of the Kaguya clan, huh…" Yuzuru nodded, then suddenly barked, "If you stand before me, why do you not kneel?!"
A terrifying aura burst forth from Yuzuru's body. Cold sweat instantly beaded across Nobuo's forehead.
In that moment, he reached a conclusion.
The man before him was an existence that absolutely must not be provoked!
Under Yuzuru's gaze, the Kaguya clan head bent his knees and knelt on the ground in salute. "I pay my respects to Lord Yuzuru."
If even their clan head had done so, the remaining Kaguya clan members followed suit, kneeling and kowtowing.
"We pay our respects to Lord Yuzuru!"
Seeing this scene, Terumi Mei's mouth fell open in shock.
Having grown up in the Mist Village, she knew all too well what kind of temperament the Kaguya clan possessed.
They were a group who feared neither heaven nor earth—madmen who, once they lost control, would slaughter without regard, even cutting down their own comrades.
Ever since the First Mizukage founded the Mist Village, the Kaguya clan had been a constant headache for the village.
It was only after successive wars between ninja villages had greatly weakened their strength that they were forced to relocate to this remote place.
In the eyes of the people of the Mist Village, the Kaguya clan had always been like savage beasts—unreasonable, amoral, and devoid of reverence.
And yet now… such a clan of lunatics had lowered their heads, obediently kneeling and kowtowing!
For a moment, Terumi Mei's gaze toward Yuzuru sparkled brightly, and she couldn't help swallowing several times.
As expected of the man she had set her sights on. She really wanted to devour him sooner rather than later!
Taking in everyone's reactions, Yuzuru nodded in satisfaction and said, "In that case, I'll give you half an hour to pack your belongings. Then prepare to relocate to Konoha with me."
Hearing this, Nobuo lifted his head, hesitating. "Lord Yuzuru, about that…"
"Hm?"
Seeing Yuzuru's gaze turn dangerous, Nobuo quickly explained, "Lord Yuzuru, do you know why the Mist Village has always suppressed us, yet we've continued to live here for generations?"
Obito asked curiously, "Why?"
Nobuo answered softly, "Because a certain herb grows here, called Hempgrass."
"Hempgrass?"
"It's a medicinal herb that, when consumed, can alleviate pain throughout the body."
Without waiting for Obito to ask further, Nobuo continued on his own. "The Dead Bone Pulse is the kekkei genkai of our Kaguya clan. But while it grants us immense power, it also brings us unbearable suffering."
"After the age of fifteen, most of our clan members begin to experience excruciating pain throughout their entire bodies."
"This bone-deep agony torments us every moment. Even sleeping through a single night without interruption is a luxury."
"And even without external interference, the average lifespan of our clan members is only around thirty years. At my age, I'm already considered one of the oldest in recent years."
"It's precisely because of this that most of our clan members have violent and brutal temperaments."
Yuzuru nodded silently.
It seemed the Kaguya clan's kekkei genkai was even more powerful than he had imagined, so much so that their bodies simply couldn't withstand it.
From Nobuo's description, this could already be called a Bloodline Disease.
A condition that only genius ninja would contract after excessively developing their kekkei genkai had become a common symptom within the Kaguya clan.
Though the symptoms of ordinary clan members weren't as severe as those of Yakumo Kurama or Itachi Uchiha in the original story, it was still enough to demonstrate the terrifying strength of the Kaguya bloodline.
Seeing Yuzuru remain silent, Nobuo carefully asked, "Only by consuming Hempgrass can we gain even a brief moment of relief."
"So I would like to ask—does Konoha have any similar medicinal herbs like Hempgrass?"
Yuzuru glanced at the Hempgrass Nobuo produced and said calmly, "There are many ways to relieve pain. Konoha has specialized medicine."
"I don't know whether it contains Hempgrass as an ingredient, but its effects will certainly be no worse than your primitive method of directly swallowing herbs."
With Konoha's current level of medical advancement, developing a customized analgesic specifically for the Kaguya clan shouldn't be a problem.
After receiving Yuzuru's assurance, Nobuo was overjoyed and immediately waved his hand, ordering the clan members to pack up.
Not long after, the Kaguya clan members returned, fully prepared.
Obito activated the power of his Mangekyō Sharingan, opening a spatial portal and temporarily transferring the Kaguya clan members inside.
At the very end, a young boy wearing handcuffs and shackles—holding a small flower in his hand—caught Yuzuru's attention.
Noticing Yuzuru's gaze, Nobuo explained, "That one is named Kimimaro. He is the most talented member in the entire history of our Kaguya clan and has been imprisoned in the dungeon."
Obito frowned. "Why would you imprison your most talented member in a dungeon?"
Nobuo said awkwardly, "According to our clan's records, the more talented the member, the more insane they become. So we simply raised Kimimaro from childhood as a humanoid weapon."
Obito snorted coldly. "You truly are a bunch of lunatics, treating your own clan member like that!"
Yuzuru, however, walked over to Kimimaro's side and tore off all the iron restraints binding him.
"Kimimaro, from today onward, embrace a new life."
