Chapter 102
Facing the hideous and terrifying monster, Hyuga Natsu's pretty face turned even paler.
It was this… that had attacked and severely injured her before… The monster was still asleep, would taking its life essence wake it up?
Hyuga Natsu didn't know.
Coming from a conservative clan, she had no knowledge of such matters.
She could only… try to do it.
And so, her slender hands began the extraction… In Uchiha Izumi's Hospital room.
Izumi, lying on the bed, was still contemplating Itachi's expression.
That terrifying and hideous look was something she had never seen before.
Why was it… like that?
With a creak, just then, the Hospital room door opened.
"Izumi-jie jie…"
Sako walked in.
"Sako…" Seeing Sako, Izumi couldn't help but smile.
Cute Sako walked over and placed her visiting gift aside: "Izumi-jie jie, how are you? I heard you were injured…"
"I'm fine, I'm sorry to have worried everyone."
Izumi shook her head; even injured in bed, she still possessed an incredible gentleness.
Sako felt this gentleness and increasingly felt that Izumi was suitable to be her sister-in-law.
Imagining her and her brother standing together, it was a beautiful sight.
She was not discriminated against just because Izumi was a half-blood.
Everyone from Uchiha had visited Izumi, and Sakonaturally knew about Izumi's situation.
The two girls chatted, and after a while, Izumi said, "The one who saved me was Naruto…"
"Eh? Really?"
Sako was surprised at first, then dismissive, but the smile in her eyes and at the corners of her mouth showed her joy.
Looking at the vastly different reactions of the siblings, Izumi's doubts deepened.
"Sako, does your brother have a strong opinion about Naruto?"
"Ah…"
Sako paused, then nodded.
"Perhaps my brother, like the Villagers, thinks Naruto… has a special identity…"
Uzumaki Naruto is the Demon Fox Boy.
"I see." Izumi nodded, finally relieved.
"Then what's your opinion, Izumi-jie jie, about Naruto…"
Sako really hoped Izumi would support her.
"I think… Naruto is a very kind child…"
Izumi said gently.
"He's a good kid…"
Chapter 44. Hinata's Mom ~ Mom ~ Careless… Porridge
Hyuga Natsu: "Ugh~!"
Her slender hands rubbed.
She tried hard to extract the Tailed Beast Partner's essence.
However, Hyuga Natsu's efforts were destined to be a drop in the bucket.
Other than waking the Tailed Beast Partner from its slumber, she didn't achieve anything else.
The awakened Tailed Beast Partner was hideous and terrifying.
It stared wantonly at the world, craving flesh and blood… "You can try a different method."
Naruto, looking unconcerned, sat in a chair and reminded her.
Hyuga Natsu paused slightly, then a look of disgust appeared on her pretty face.
She instinctively resisted, not wanting to follow Naruto's suggestion.
However, this act of resistance caused a coldness to surge in Naruto's eyes.
Slap!
A slap landed.
Hyuga Natsu's head snapped to the side.
Visibly, her fair face began to turn red.
Dazed from the blow, Hyuga Natsu stared blankly to the side, even forgetting the movements of her hands.
Before she could speak, Naruto rose from his seat.
The Tailed Beast Partner moved with him.
A few strands of the pretty maid's dark green, ear-length hair brushed against the Tailed Beast Partner.
The hideous, radiating heat monster was right by her ear.
"…"
Naruto coldly uttered two words.
The next moment… Sizzle~!
Hyuga Natsu: "Ugh~!"
…Half an hour later.
Sensing something, Hyuga Natsu quickly moved away.
"Whoa~!"
She disregarded the uncomfortable feeling.
Immediately, she stretched out both hands.
One hand took the medicine pot, the other guided the Tailed Beast Partner.
As the Tailed Beast Partner's vitality poured into the medicine pot, the mixed medicine was stained with different colors.
And with the outpouring of a large amount of vitality, the true secret medicine was declared complete.
"Alright, give it to Aunt Hazuki and have Aunt Hazuki drink it… After taking the Uzumaki Clan's secret medicine, her condition will slowly improve…"
Naruto stated with certainty.
Hyuga Hazuki would definitely recover her health after taking the medicine.
If once wasn't enough, then twice; if two courses weren't enough, then three courses.
She would absolutely not die.
"Cough cough cough… Yes…"
The maid, coughing for a moment, held the medicine pot and responded tremblingly.
"Well then, I should go find Uchiha Izumi too…"
Naruto opened the door and walked out.
Hyuga Natsu looked at the soup in the medicine pot, a complex look flashing in her white eyes… In Uchiha Izumi's Hospital room.
Naruto knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
When Naruto entered, Sako had already left.
"Izumi-jie jie~, I've come to visit you…"
Uchiha Izumi, who was resting, showed a surprised expression when she saw Naruto.
After all, she had just discussed Naruto with Sako.
"Naruto…"
"Izumi-jie jie, don't move, just stay like that."
Naruto motioned for Uchiha Izumi not to move her body.
Izumi, lying in the Hospital bed, gazed at the young man several years her junior in front of her, feeling increasingly incredulous.
"Oh dear… Izumi-jie jie, I seem to have forgotten to bring a visiting gift."
Naruto scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
"Nonsense. Naruto, I should be thanking you. Thank you for saving me…"
Izumi felt gratitude towards Naruto in her heart.
If it weren't for the young man in front of her, she would have already perished.
And… strangely, the Demon Fox Boy, as everyone thought, actually saved her life.
Her father's death during the Nine-Tailed Demon Foxs Attack was Izumi's greatest pain.
She tried to move past the shadow, even coming to terms with it.
And it wasn't until last night that she truly emerged from the shadow.
After all, even if Naruto was truly the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, he still saved her life.
The shy and kind young man in front of her was completely different from that terrifying Nine-Tailed Demon Fox… Naruto was now also a member of the Village, a comrade to everyone.
Izumi firmly believed this, and a feeling of emotion welled up in her heart.
"By the way, Izumi-jie jie, have you had dinner yet?" Naruto suddenly asked.
Dinner?
It was only afternoon now, still early for evening.
Izumi felt a bit strange, but Naruto stood up, intending to leave: "Izumi-jie jie, I'm going to buy souvenirs again, and… don't eat anything tonight, I'll bring you a lavish big~ meal~."
Naruto's face was beaming with a bright and radiant smile.
Izumi was infected by this smile, so she nodded vigorously: "Mm! No problem."
How could she disappoint him when he could show such a smile?
Naruto… truly a kind and good child.
