Chapter 109
So.
Did she completely turn evil, or did she just develop a split personality?
Or was it the influence of the Mangekyo's ocular Ninjutsu?
The Sharingan is the ocular Ninjutsu that mirrors the heart.
The Mangekyo abilities one possesses are intimately linked to each person's heart.
What does Uchiha Izumi desire most in her heart? Hmm... This is a topic worth researching.
But no matter what.
Uchiha Izumi's Mangekyo was an unexpected pleasant surprise.
If nurtured properly, it can become a huge fighting force.
At least, she can walk around confidently when facing the vast majority of Ninja.
Naruto quickly developed the idea that Uchiha Izumi was a must-have.
Originally, he just wanted to play around, but now he can give her a little more focused attention.
"Oh, right, I remember... Izumi-jie jie also has a mom~my~..."
Naruto's voice instantly became honest, radiating an indescribable kindness.
Kurama: "Aren't you afraid she'll kill you?!"
Kurama's warning had never been so obvious.
Even when facing the power of the Moryo, Kuramahad never been so solemn.
Clearly, the Mangekyo Sharingan had touched a nerve with Kurama, and it might even have given it PTSD.
Naruto understood, deeply understood.
"Kurama, what are you talking about? I don't understand..."
Naruto shook his head, feigning complete ignorance.
However, in the mental space... the dark infiltration of the environment around the sealing iron gate already explained everything.
Kurama knew that this kid was plotting something inhumane again.
"Hmph... I hope you don't play with fire and get burned!"
Kurama, I, am warning you, young man, to be careful, after all, the Uchiha Mangekyo doesn't play by the rules.
Swish!
Just then, a figure rapidly approached Naruto's house and stopped in front of the window.
Yūgao Uzuki, with her mask already on the side of her head, looked ashamed.
After all, she was taken down by Uchiha Izumi in just one encounter.
This was an utter disgrace.
Her protection work was completely inadequate... This made her feel a bit dejected.
"Naruto, I'm sorry..." Yūgao Uzuki apologized in the night, her sorrowful appearance making one feel pity for her.
"It's nothing, Yūgao-jie jie~, you might just be too tired."
Naruto said with a smile.
"Just go home and rest. You should take a break sometimes. Let's stop here tonight..."
Did Yūgao Uzuki witness Uchiha Izumi awakening her Mangekyo?
Probably not.
After all, for her, everything went black and then it was over.
And the Mangekyo really does have the ability to make people temporarily lose their memory; those who were questioned probably wouldn't remember anything.
"Work too busy, missions too tiring, always go home and visit..."
Naruto muttered, opening the window.
"Yūgao-jie jie... I'll walk you home..."
Naruto grinned, deciding to walk Yūgao home, as it was already so late.
No choice, who made Uchiha Izumi stir up his... well, keeping people from sleeping in the middle of the night.
"Alright."
Yūgao showed a relieved smile, very grateful to Naruto.
"This child... is so considerate of others..."
...Konoha under the moonlight, enveloped in silver light.
Two figures moved through the dark alleyways.
After some time, Naruto walked Yūgao home.
This was also Naruto's first time visiting Yūgao Uzuki's house.
A detached courtyard, completely different from the city center. Here, every household had its own yard.
"This is my house."
Yūgao said, pointing to the cozy two-story building in front of them.
"Next door is Gekko's house."
Yūgao then pointed to an adjacent townhouse.
Their homes were separated only by a thick wall.
Naruto nodded, understanding.
The dark room had no lights on. The light cast by the silver moonlight was enough to see everything clearly.
Standing in the bedroom, Yūgao didn't know what to say for a moment.
Her request was actually very simple.
"Naruto... can you... help me get stronger again..."
After hesitating for a moment, she said.
She looks very normal, but in fact, her way of thinking has completely changed... Naruto thought to himself.
Yūgao Uzuki knew it was very late and didn't want to bother him.
However, with her strong ambition, she didn't want to just muddle through like this.
If she failed every mission, how could she continue to be an Anbu Ninja?
Hearing Yūgao's request, Naruto saw her sincerity and felt it would be impolite to refuse.
No choice, he'd just have to stay up late tonight.
"Oh, right, Yūgao-jie jie, if we train, will it disturb Gekko-nii san next door?" Naruto asked innocently.
"The walls are very thick, and the sound insulation is excellent, so it's no problem."
Yūgao Uzuki gave a reassuring expression.
"That's good." Naruto stepped forward, gesturing.
Yūgao cooperatively turned around, facing the wall.
Her hands slowly stretched out, and finally... pressed against it.
"I... I'm ready..."
A rustling sound, as Yūgao took her stance, and Naruto's palms also ignited with a dark Chakraglow.
Yūgao, turning her head back, was filled with anticipation for her impending increase in strength.
Due to her excessive excitement, her breathing began to quicken.
Who wouldn't be happy at the thought of becoming stronger again?
"Form the hand signs... begin!"
It was still based on Anko's Twin Snakes Mutual Death and the principle of interconnected human Chakra meridians.
Naruto would cooperate and assist Yūgao in forming hand signs, thereby sharing the power of "Yin Release + Nine-Tailed Chakra" with Yūgao.
As Naruto formed the hand signs, his speed became faster and faster, almost a blur.
A terrifying Chakra power also circulated within Yūgao's body as it was transmitted through the meridians.
Such violent power naturally carried a certain risk.
Yūgao felt the surging Chakra, feeling as if she was about to be killed.
"Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh~!"
The unimaginable pain made her cry out in agony.
To alleviate the suffering, she had no choice but to release Water Release Ninjutsu, expelling the water in her body along with some negative Chakra.
Chirp~!
Chirp chirp chirp~!!!
Just as Yūgao was diligently training, becoming stronger with the help of the Nine-Tailed Chakraand Yin Release power... next door, separated by a wall, Gekko slept peacefully.
A smile played on his lips, as if he was dreaming a sweet dream.
It must have been something beautiful related to his lover... The night grew colder.
The sounds of training next door grew louder and louder, but the thick wall blocked everything.
Gekko, who was sleeping, was completely unaware that his childhood friend was still diligently training... Perhaps this was also why their fates in the original story were completely different.
Oh, Naruto meant that Yūgao-jie jie was a female Ninja with extremely high ambition.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have replaced Kakashi to become the leader of Anbu Squad Six in the original story.
So, Gekko-nii san, you should also work hard... Yūgao: "Oh oh oh oh oh oh~!"
Chapter 52. Naruto's Misfortune: Tied Up by Kurenai Yuhi
"Hiss hiss~!"
When the first ray of morning sunlight streamed through the window... Yu...
Yūgao's training also came to an end.
She knelt on the floor, comfortably rehydrating.
It's good to drink more milk in the morning, especially as a girl. It can keep your skin fair, enhance your figure... there are too many benefits to list.
The audible sips and appreciative gaze fully demonstrated her love for this beverage, milk.
However, if you walk by the river, you'll always get your shoes wet.
"Woooo~~~!!!!... Cough cough..."
Yūgao, accidentally choking on milk, immediately started coughing.
Just then, the shadow, with the arrival of the sun, quietly departed... "Hoo... hoo..."
Yūgao, propped on one hand on the floor, sitting slightly to the side, her eyes hazy, her porcelain doll-like face full of satisfaction.
