The sensor Shinobi said, "One of them is a Missing-nin from the Land of Rivers, rumored to have an immortal body. I don't know if it's true or false."
"From the Land of Rivers?"
A frowned, thinking. "Those guys who worship some Evil God?"
"Yes, sir."
The sensor Shinobi said.
"Hmph!"
A snorted coldly. "When we get back, we'll find time to wipe out that Jashin Cult directly."
"The Jashin Cult in the Land of Rivers has already been destroyed."
Darui interjected. "It was taken care of by that guy over there, Takumi."
"Huh?"
A looked confusedly in the direction Darui pointed and discovered that Takumi was actually there too.
'What was this guy doing here?'
'Wasn't he supposed to be in Konoha?'
'Why was there no news at all of him arriving in the Land of Lightning?'
'Were the guys patrolling along the way all idiots?'
A felt very dissatisfied.
"What are you doing here?"
The Fourth Raikage couldn't figure it out, so he simply walked over and asked.
But Takumi didn't seem to hear him.
Takumi just stared blankly at Yugito's corpse.
After obtaining so many abilities from the system and rapidly raising his strength to the top tier of the Shinobi World, Takumi had always thought he could solve any problem.
Even if he couldn't solve it, he could rely on the system's help at the critical moment.
But, he had failed to protect one of his women.
Despite possessing so many abilities, he still let Yugito die here.
This was the first time he had lost someone he cared about.
This was a considerable blow to Takumi.
Fortunately, he still had a chance to remedy the situation.
He crouched down, slid his arms under Yugito's neck and knees, and picked her up.
Then he silently turned to leave.
"Stop right there!"
The Fourth Raikage couldn't hold back anymore.
'Even if you were Konoha's hero, you couldn't bully people like this!'
"She is a Shinobi of our Kumogakure. What do you think you're doing taking her corpse?"
The Fourth Raikage had a very displeased expression.
The Kumogakure's Shinobi behind him also looked grim.
Clearly, Takumi's actions had reached the limit of their tolerance.
The ones who could follow the Fourth Raikage were all Elite Jonin.
Each of them had more or less carried out missions with Yugito.
Yugito was their comrade.
Now, their fallen comrade's body was being taken away by a Shinobi from another village.
How could they tolerate that?
Takumi stopped, turned his head slowly while still facing away from the Fourth Raikage, his eyes full of dangerous intent.
"You want to stop me?"
It was a simple sentence. Takumi didn't use a particularly heavy tone, nor any threatening tone.
He just spoke his words in a very calm voice.
But when these words reached A and the others' ears, for an instant, Takumi's figure seemed to swell like a giant looking down upon them.
Except for the Fourth Raikage everyone took several steps back, and one even fell on his butt.
Even the Fourth Raikage was momentarily intimidated by Takumi's aura and dared not speak.
Seeing no one responded, Takumi silently turned and left.
The Fourth Raikage did not continue to stop Takumi, but watched his departing back with a dark expression.
Ever since he saw his own father fight Takumi to a draw last time, he had returned and trained frantically with B.
He thought the results of his training were very good; he even had confidence he could win if he fought Takumi.
But this time, just a single look, a simple sentence, rooted him to the spot, too afraid to stop the other party.
For A, this was just too shameful.
Takumi couldn't care less about what A was feeling right now.
He just wanted to find a peaceful place with Yugito.
He planned to use the Summoning Spirit Technique to revive Yugito.
Although he had told Hiruzen that the Summoning Spirit Technique could only be used once a year, he could actually revive people many more times.
Initially, he had held back out of apprehension.
As it turned out, Hiruzen was not an trustworthy old man.
Telling him something was almost equivalent to telling Danzo.
Even though Danzo had even organized people to assassinate Hiruzen,
Hiruzen was still extremely lenient towards Danzo, and even the two advisors gradually leaned towards Danzo.
Leaving the Akatsuki's temporary hideout, crossing the ground pitted and cratered by the Fourth Raikage's attacks, Takumi carried Yugito and disappeared among the trees in a few bounds.
"Damn it!"
A said viciously, looking in the direction Takumi had gone, his eyes revealing ferocity.
But given his cowardly silence just moments ago, this ferocity looked more like an act.
However, he didn't chase after him, allowing Takumi to take Yugito's body.
Although unwilling, he also knew he was no match for Takumi.
After all, even his father hadn't beaten Takumi.
Although his strength had increased a lot, this time he deeply realized the gap between him and Takumi.
Takumi brought Yugito to a scenic place.
He placed her on a flat, huge boulder.
Then Takumi began the Summoning Spirit Ritual.
With Yugito's body present, there was no need to look for related items.
In the void, Yugito's drifting soul quickly turned around and rushed towards Takumi's location.
Takumi concentrated, guiding Yugito's soul back into her body.
After some effort, her soul was accepted by her body, completely merging into it.
He had done all he could.
Takumi waited patiently.
Yugito didn't keep him waiting long.
Soon, with a flutter of her eyelids, Yugito finally woke up.
"Am I..."
Her eyes were full of confusion.
She still remembered, before, it seemed she had been assassinated by an assassin.
Right in front of her.
She could clearly feel her life force weakening.
"You're awake?"
Takumi said in a gentle voice, afraid that speaking too loud might startle the "Sleeping Beauty".
The Sleeping Beauty didn't mind at all.
She quickly recovered her memory.
"I died? But..."
She looked at Takumi, and sadness immediately appeared in her eyes. "Were you killed by those two guys too?"
"Don't worry."
Takumi was a bit not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "We're not dead."
"To be precise, you died once, but I brought you back to life."
Seeing that Yugito's consciousness wasn't too confused, Takumi immediately felt relieved.
"Is that so?"
Yugito was still a bit groggy.
But then her expression changed drastically.
She could feel that the Tailed Beast's Chakra inside her had disappeared.
Yugito knew very well what this meant.
"Where are the enemies?"
Yugito's demeanor immediately became very serious.
"The enemies are already gone; we can't catch them."
Takumi said with some regret.
If he could have caught one or two, forced them to reveal the enemies' traps, that would have been a huge gain.
Too bad it was too late now.
