Chapter 81
The guards made way one after another, and no one stopped him.
However, certain things had already quietly begun to happen. The Daimyo felt a flicker of doubt, suppressed the feeling, and walked straight into the main hall.
Soon, the Daimyo began to call out his wife's name.
However, he did not see her, nor did he see his daughter Shion.
Displeased, the Daimyo immediately summoned the guards to inquire.
The answer he received was that the Miko had already left... "Where did she go?"
The Daimyo's eyes gleamed dangerously.
The Ninja from the Land of Demons who followed him also looked displeased.
The guards kept their mouths shut, not intending to tell the Daimyo about the Miko's whereabouts.
The furious Daimyo was about to go on a killing spree.
However, the demon within him stopped him.
"Let it go... Daimyo."
Moryō spoke.
Its ancient voice was like the oldest mountain range.
As an existence even older than the Tailed Beast, it had witnessed all of history.
"Don't worry, it must be the Miko's 'precognitive ability.' A Miko who can foresee the future acts in advance to avoid it..."
And the price...
Is the lives of her subordinates.
Throughout history, countless guards have willingly sacrificed their lives for the Miko.
Because only then can the prophecy come true.
If a guard was afraid of death and unwilling to die for the Miko, then... the Miko would truly die.
Therefore, so-called prophecies are actually odes built upon human lives.
"We cannot let the Miko succeed..."
Moryō signaled that people should be dispatched to pursue and stop the Miko.
Rather than wantonly slaughtering these useless guards.
"Yes, that's what we'll do."
The Daimyo's expression softened slightly, and his mood slowly calmed down.
He immediately turned and ordered his subordinates to track down the Miko's whereabouts.
Although she possessed profound spiritual power, the Miko was still an ordinary person in terms of mobility. She wouldn't have gone far... Chapter 21. Anbu Girl · Yūgao... Frenzy!
Hiss hiss hiss~~!
The milk-feeding rescue operation was coming to an end.
Naruto pressed the milk bottle firmly, trying to make Yūgao drink all the remaining milk in one go.
Yūgao: "Ugh~~~!"
In her poisoned state, after a long period of feeding by Naruto, Yūgao, in a state of subconscious resistance, finally reached the end.
Her body unconsciously writhed, and her limbs trembled slightly.
After all, being poisoned and having a large amount of milk poured into her was certainly uncomfortable, and instinctive struggles were inevitable.
However, her patient reactions were directly suppressed by Naruto.
His small body possessed unmatched strength.
He held Yūgao down, maintaining the milk-feeding action for a long time... Pop~.
Naruto pulled back.
"Ugh..."
Pure white milk slowly flowed down Yūgao's vibrant red lips.
Her darting eyes had recovered a little now, appearing much more normal.
However, her still unfocused gaze proved that the toxins had only been partially neutralized and not completely dispelled.
"It seems the situation is very serious this time..."
Naruto stood aside, stroking his chin in thought.
The projection on the wall reflected his figure... and the shadow of the Tailed Beast Partner.
The latter watched the beautiful Anbu girl lying on the ground along with Naruto.
It was not asleep; instead, it was more active in the colors of the night.
"Do you also care about Yūgao-neechan?"
Naruto seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps to the Tailed Beast Partner.
Nine-Tailed: "..."
This made the Nine-Tailed realize that Uzumaki Naruto's inner darkness was simply indescribable!
"It seems further treatment is needed..."
Naruto stated that they would begin the second round of healing.
"Most of the human body is composed of water... Generally speaking, by expelling water from the body, toxins can be effectively removed... Yūgao-neechan is a Ninja, not an ordinary person, so the method of draining water is even simpler..."
Naruto happily thought that Yūgao Uzuki could extract water from her body by performing Water Release Ninjutsu.
Because she had just consumed a large amount of milk, there was no need to worry about harming her body.
So, Naruto, who acted immediately upon thinking, decided to do it right away.
Clearly, this time... it was a step deeper than last time, or even the sum of the previous two times.
"Yūgao-neechan, can you get up...?"
Naruto tried to help Yūgao up.
Lying on the floor, Yūgao shakily got up, her movements slow and spastic, like a common patient in a Hospital.
With Naruto's help, she slowly, step by step, walked with faltering steps towards the bathroom Naruto led her to.
The performance of Water Release Ninjutsurequired a floor drain for drainage; the living room was not suitable.
Time slowly passed; just getting up and walking into the bathroom took 5 minutes.
However, Naruto, who was caring for the patient, was not in a hurry.
Naruto told himself to be patient.
After all, who doesn't have a headache or fever sometimes?
"Ugh~."
The dazed Yūgao occasionally let out unconscious murmurs.
It sounded more like a subtle whimper.
After entering the bathroom, Naruto closed the door, and the transparent frosted glass reflected two blurry silhouettes.
Inside the bathroom, Yūgao stood still.
Her trembling legs proved her difficulty.
"Yūgao-neechan~, please begin."
Naruto looked at Yūgao, signaling that she could start, and he would guard her nearby; there was no problem.
"Ugh~."
But Yūgao seemed unable to understand Naruto's words. In her disoriented state, she tried hard to think.
However, the Nine-Tailed Chakra itself affected her thoughts, and Naruto's Yin Release began to cause permanent changes to her brain... "Water Release Ninjutsu... Can't Yūgao-neechan perform it?"
Naruto frowned slightly; this was not good.
So Naruto opened the bathroom door, immediately ran to the living room, pulled open a drawer, and found a Ninja Compendium book inside.
This book, of course, was brought by Hinata.
Naruto and Hinata had even sat at a desk and studied the knowledge within it.
After a quick look, Naruto found the entry for Water Release Ninjutsu: "So that's how it is... Mm-hmm..."
Naruto quickly grasped the essential content.
Then, returning to the bathroom, Naruto began to form hand signs in a practiced manner.
After all, under Sako's influence, he had already learned "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough"; forming a hand sign was a piece of cake, wasn't it?
However, Naruto's pantomimed hand signs still could not be understood by Yūgao.
"There's no other way..."
Naruto suddenly remembered in the original story how Anko used Orochimaru's hand to assist in forming hand signs to complete Ninjutsu.
Many times, Ninja can use another person's hand to form hand signs.
To guide the flow of Chakra through their own meridian system.
"Yūgao-neechan... let's begin."
Naruto extended his right hand towards Yūgao.
Accompanied by rustling sounds, Narutopositioned himself correctly.
Then... Naruto began to form hand signs quickly, his right hand speeding up, soon becoming a blur... Hiss~!
Hiss hiss hiss~~~!
...At the same moment, late at night in the Hospital.
Gekkō Hayate, who was about to go to sleep, received a visitor.
Someone who came at this hour was clearly not an ordinary person.
A silver-haired young man in a dark blue undershirt had finished his day's work.
His tired face was covered by half a mask.
He sat by Hayate's bed, asking about Hayate's injuries.
Due to the nature of their work, Anbu and the reconnaissance squad always cooperated with each other, and thus... over time, Kakashi also became an old comrade-in-arms with Hayate.
Of course, Kakashi also took great care of his junior, Yūgao.
"Kakashi-senpai... you want to ask about Naruto, don't you?"
Hayate saw through Kakashi's hesitation.
As the disciple of the Fourth Hokage, Kakashishould have taken more care of his teacher's child.
However, due to his overly tragic life, Kakashihimself had not been able to adjust.
But after this period, Kakashi felt much better
