Yukito, whose thoughts were interrupted by the sudden voice, withdrew his gaze from Shiranui and Rinko and slightly raised his head, looking directly into the eyes of the people before him.
"This is a power called Chakra that I accidentally awakened some time ago. Although it's different from the abilities possessed by Anti-Demon Ninja, it can still be considered a form of ninja power."
"Chakra is a type of energy created when all of the body's energies are perfectly combined. In simple terms, it is a balanced mixture of physical and spiritual energy."
Yukito briefly explained Chakra to Shiranui, Rinko, and Yukikaze—a completely new power system that had never appeared in this world before—without mentioning how he had obtained it in detail.
Naturally, Shiranui, Rinko, and even Yatsu Murasaki nearby did not press him further.
As long as they could confirm that Yukito Mizuki had not been seduced by demons or any evil demonic races, and that his power had not come from demonic corruption, that was enough.
As for how Yukito Mizuki had obtained this never-before-seen power called Chakra, it was not particularly important.
"Yukito-chan, even if you accidentally gained power, you haven't received any professional training, so why did you come here and get involved?!"
Although Shiranui Mizuki felt relieved and happy that Yukito had gained Chakra and the ability to protect himself, she did not show her joy.
Instead, she glared at Yukito, who was clad in red armor from head to toe, with a trace of dissatisfaction and sternly rebuked him,
"Stop fooling around here! Do you think fighting demons is some kind of child's game? Yukikaze, Rinko, and I are enough. Hurry home right now!"
Although Shiranui Mizuki had casually told Yukito over the phone that the extermination mission she and Yukikaze were undertaking this time was very simple and posed no danger, the reality was far from what she had described.
Even the simplest mission could encounter unforeseen circumstances and all kinds of dangers.
The reason she and Yukikaze had become Anti-Demon Ninja was because the Mizuki Family itself was an Anti-Demon Ninja clan with a history stretching back hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Even if they wanted to live peacefully like ordinary people, there was no guarantee that they would not be targeted by enemies the Mizuki Family had made in the past.
Yukito Mizuki was different from them. Although he shared the Mizuki surname, he did not possess the Mizuki Family's bloodline, nor did he need to walk this path of endless battles against demons and monsters while constantly standing on the brink of danger.
"Aunt Shiranui, although I haven't received any professional training or guidance, I have encountered demons since gaining my power, so I do have some combat experience."
"So please let me accompany you in exterminating those demons. I also want to protect Aunt Shiranui, Yukikaze... and Rinko, who are all so important to me, with my own strength!"
Facing Aunt Shiranui's reprimand, Yukito Mizuki didn't obediently leave. Instead, he looked at her with a serious expression and spoke in a firm tone.
Before he obtained his system, he possessed neither anti-demon power nor the talent to become an Onmyoji or exorcist. So, even though he knew Yukikaze had been sent by Shiranui to a specialized school to undergo Anti-Demon Ninja training, he could only watch silently, completely unable to intervene.
Now that he finally had some power to help, if he still stood by and did nothing, what was the point of having this cheat, and what was the meaning of transmigrating to this world?
"Mom, Onii-chan has already said so. Why don't you let Onii-chan come with us?"
"If we really encounter any danger, I'll protect Onii-chan!"
Yukikaze, standing beside Shiranui Mizuki, glanced at her mother's expression, hesitated for a moment, then quickly patted her chest and made her promise.
At the same time, Yatsu Murasaki and Akiyama Rinko also turned their gazes toward Shiranui Mizuki.
This mission was originally a live combat assessment arranged for Yukikaze and Rinko, two newly qualified Anti-Demon Ninjas. If they passed the assessment, Yukikaze and Rinko would likely be allowed to complete various missions as an independent team in the future.
For this assessment, Shiranui Mizuki had proactively applied to be the team leader, while Yatsu Murasaki had joined only as an assistant.
As for whether Yukito Mizuki would be allowed to join, the decision naturally rested with Shiranui Mizuki.
"Since Yukito-chan has said so, then you can come in with us."
"But remember, after entering this abandoned hospital, stay close to me or Rinko. Do not act on your own!"
After nearly ten years of living together, Shiranui Mizuki knew exactly what kind of personality Yukito had.
From a very young age, he had displayed a maturity far beyond his years and had always been very opinionated.
Once he made up his mind, it was difficult for anyone to make him change it.
So Shiranui did not continue trying to persuade him or forcefully stop him. After solemnly warning him several times, she turned and winked at Yatsu Murasaki and Akiyama Rinko beside her. The group then cautiously entered the abandoned hospital before them.
With Yukito joining the mission, her original intention of allowing Yukikaze and Rinko to deal with the demons hidden inside the abandoned hospital to assess their strength had disappeared.
Shiranui Mizuki decided to eliminate the demons inside the abandoned hospital as quickly as possible. After completing the mission and returning home, there were many questions she wanted answered.
Seeing Shiranui and Rinko enter the abandoned hospital one after another, Yukito quickly followed behind them while taking out a shuriken with an explosive tag attached from his system inventory.
During the year or so since obtaining his system, he had mostly completed C-rank and D-rank missions issued by the system. Although he had killed a few demons, they had all been weak, solitary demons wandering the streets at midnight.
He wasn't sure about the exact details of the mission Shiranui and the others were carrying out this time.
However, through simple Chakra sensing, he could confirm that both the number and strength of the demons entrenched in this abandoned hospital exceeded anything he had encountered before. Naturally, Yukito couldn't afford to lower his guard in the slightest.
Yukito followed Shiranui and Rinko through the outpatient department near the entrance of the abandoned hospital. After proceeding deeper inside, a nauseating smell of decay and rot assaulted their senses.
In a room on the first floor of the hospital, several hideous, ugly-looking Demons, at least two or three meters tall, with grayish-brown skin, were gathered together, grabbing naked human females and thrusting wantonly!
Besides these Demons, on the ceiling of the room were two slowly wriggling masses with tentacles. They also each grabbed two young human females with their tentacles, filling them completely with their slippery appendages.
The floor and walls of the room were covered in all sorts of filth and bloodstains, as well as some female body parts and skeletons. It seemed that some of the people captured and brought here had already been tortured to death by these Demons.
Upon discovering the scene, Shiranui Mizuki, Akiyama Rinko, and Yatsu Murasaki immediately rushed in, brandishing their weapons and decapitating the Demons in the middle of their depraved acts.
At the same time, they severed the tentacles hanging from the ceiling and threw the surviving victims out of the room.
"Yukito, Yukikaze, give them some basic first aid and then take them to a safe place outside the hospital."
"I can handle this place myself. Onii-chan doesn't need to help!"
The Demons and tentacle monsters inside the room had no ability to resist the attacks of Shiranui Mizuki and Yatsu Murasaki. They were annihilated in the blink of an eye, leaving Yukito Mizuki with no chance to act.
He had originally intended to help treat the surviving women lying on the ground, but he only glanced at them, and his gaze inadvertently fell upon their naked bodies and their bright white boobs. and then Yukikaze blocked his view, not allowing him to help any further.
"I'll notify the logistics team to come and take them back for treatment and erase their memories related to the demons. Yukito-kun, Yukikaze, why don't you wait outside the hospital until the support personnel arrive?"
After dealing with the Demons and tentacle monsters inside the room, Yatsu Murasaki carefully found a relatively clean sheet and covered the unconscious women with it before turning toward Yukito.
At the moment, it seemed that Yukito couldn't contribute much here, so it would be better for him to wait outside the hospital.
After all, judging from the reactions of Shiranui Mizuki and Akiyama Rinko just now, they were instinctively protecting him, clearly not wanting him to encounter any danger.
"Taking these survivors to a safe place and waiting for the support personnel isn't that troublesome."
Yukito glanced at the young women beside him, now covered with sheets after suffering at the hands of the demons. He circulated the Chakra within his body and formed a series of hand seals.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
With a puff of smoke, a figure identical to Yukito appeared beside him.
As soon as the clone appeared, it immediately carried the women lying on the ground and headed outside the hospital. After making two trips, all the rescued women had been transferred to a safe location.
After all, he was already an elite Chunin. Although the amount of Chakra he possessed couldn't compare to Naruto's or Senju Hashirama's, creating one or two Shadow Clones was no burden to him.
It was Yukito's actions that left Shiranui Mizuki and the others so astonished that they were speechless for a moment.
