Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 118 Kurama Yakumo (1W)

In the next few days, Hinata Yuzuru's shadow clone paid a heavy price.

Hinata Kaoru was asked by Hinata Yuzuru to have a good rest at home for a few days, which led to Hinata Yuzuru rarely experiencing the intensity of Hinata Kaoru's work. Although it was the shadow clone who suffered for him, when the shadow clone's accumulated fatigue and memory returned, he still covered his head in the Hokage's office for a long time.

The reason why she was burdened with so much was actually very simple.

She is so useful.

And Hinata Yuzuru is a little too accustomed to it.

Whenever there was something to do, his first reaction was to let Hinata Kaoru do it. Over time, things piled up little by little, and because she never complained about being tired, every time he saw her, she appeared to be full of energy and vitality. Hinata Yuzuru was completely unaware that she could also feel hard work and fatigue.

This was his mistake and also a mistake.

Just because she is obedient, she is asked to do the work of several people. Isn't this bullying an honest person?

Hinata Yuzuru thought about it and finally decided to reduce the burden for her, but he didn't want to bear this burden himself. In addition to official duties, he also had to set aside enough time every day for practice. Whether it was developing new techniques or maintaining his condition, Hinata Yuzuru would never slack off.

But at this time, he began to have a headache.

Who else is as trustworthy as Xiaoxun and can handle these matters?

He sighed, and felt that there was no one available for him. After thinking it over, he could only share part of the burden with Bai.

In fact, Bai has quietly shared a lot of pressure and work for Kaoru, and his proficiency has gradually accumulated. As someone who was saved by Hinata Yuzuru, he now has a sense of recognition and meaning of existence in Konoha. Whether it is credibility or ability, although he may be inferior to Kaoru, he is also capable enough to be entrusted with important tasks.

Thinking of this, Hinata Yuzuru asked Bai, with whom he hadn't had a good chat for a long time, to come to his office.

"Yuzuru-sama."

When Bai came to the office, his expression was respectful, yet slightly happy.

After Hinata Yuzuru brought him back to Konoha, there were too many things to do, so in fact, he didn't give him any special training. Most of the time, he was thrown into the laboratory, letting Xiaoxun teach him by words and deeds, so that he could accumulate the knowledge of a ninja and the ability to handle affairs.

Even though Hinata Xun became his secretary and Bai also joined his work system, Hinata Yuzuru still rarely had private conversations with him. In the past, it was usually Xun who sent him to help her complete her work.

The occasions when he was called upon to see her were even rarer.

Hinata Yuzuru looked at him. At this moment, Bai has grown into the appearance in the original work. His handsome face that is difficult to distinguish between male and female is as cute as a gentle girl. His temperament is soft and gentle. He stands there, blinking his eyes. If it weren't for the stupid setting of Kishimoto, who would believe that the guy in front of him is a boy?
"Bai, do you have the confidence to take over some of Xun's work?"

When Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking, Bai was happy at first, but then he hesitated: "Is there something wrong with Sister Xiaoxun? I didn't see her today."

Apart from Hinata Yuzuru, no one knows Xiao Xun better than Bai, who has always followed Xun like a disciple.

If I took Sister Xiaoxun's job, she would definitely be very sad, right?

"It's my fault. I gave her too much burden and she became ill from overwork. Give her a few days off and reduce her workload accordingly. Of course, I still need your help."

Hinata Yuzuru shrugged, supporting his face with one hand, looking somewhat helpless: "If you don't want to, I'll think of someone else who can."

"I can!" Bai said hurriedly. He explained, "I'm just a little worried that my ability is not enough and will cause trouble for Master Yuzuru!"

"I read Xiaoxun's work report every day, and I am also familiar with your working style and ability. I am still confident in you." Hinata Yuzuru smiled, looked at Bai's somewhat excited expression, and seriously cited a few examples to praise him.

Bai didn't expect that he would actually remember the details of his work. Hearing this, he stood up straighter, and the joy and happiness on his face could no longer be concealed.

"So, are you willing to take over some of Xiaoxun's work?"

After Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking, he saw Bai nodding heavily. He curled the corners of his mouth, picked up a prepared list and handed it to Bai.

"These are the missions you will accept. From now on, you will also serve as my secretary and run around for Konoha. I'd like to say in advance that you are hardworking."

Hinata Yuzuru looked at Bai who took the list and looked at it carefully, and said apologetically.

But Bai just shook his head and said with a happy face: "Being able to contribute to Master Yuzuru and become a useful person is the meaning of my life - Master Yuzuru, you can use me like a tool at any time, just like you use Sister Xiaoxun!"

"I never considered you as tools." Hinata Yuzuru said seriously, then looked at Bai's somewhat uneasy face and sighed: "But I should do some self-examination."

He looked at Bai who still didn't quite understand, and said patiently: "In my heart, whether it is Xiaoxun or you, you are my important partners and friends, not tools. Maybe sometimes I don't show much, but at all times, you are complete people, not tools.

If you have any questions, don't worry, just tell me.

People make mistakes and errors, even me.

If I make something wrong next time, or if you feel something is wrong, you can tell me directly.

Hinata Yuzuru looked at Bai who was getting a little uneasy and wanted to say something. In the end, he could only shrug and said, "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Bai breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

He really didn't know what he could point out as being wrong or making a mistake with Hinata Yuzuru.

How could Lord Yuzuru make a mistake?

He was sincere in thinking so.

Hinata Yuzuru is also used to the way his subordinates think. He feels a little pressure helplessly, but he can't blame them for anything. Is he supposed to say to them, "Don't think so highly of me? I'm not that good."

Finally, I could only say, "I'll leave it to you. I'll reflect on it and do better."

Bai hesitated: "You are too gentle."

When Hinata Yuzuru glared at him in amusement, he covered his mouth and smiled like a girl, saying, "Well, Master Yuzuru, I'll go to work?"

"Go."

Hinata Yuzuru nodded, and he went out to work excitedly.

With his head lowered, Hinata Yuzuru continued to handle his official duties.

When it's night, he'll get off work on time and go home - to be honest, Hinata Yuzuru is probably the Hokage with the most regular time off work in history.

I arrive at seven o'clock every morning, drink a cup of hot tea, and check some information in the office, such as the news. I start working at eight o'clock and work until seven in the afternoon. I leave at any time, and at most leave a shadow to finish the remaining work.

In the past, after returning home, Hinata Yuzuru would chat with his mother and tutor Ningji, who had now become a Genin, but also followed the routine of looking after cats and dogs and helping the villagers with low-level tasks.

But this time, he went to find Hinata Kaoru first.

As expected, she was obediently resting in the house as Hinata Yuzuru said, chatting with her, and then returning to her own room to continue thinking and researching to improve her strength.

In recent times, Hinata Yuzuru stopped practicing Flying Thunder God, which had already reached level six.

Human energy is limited, and he is not a one-trick ninja. The greatest use of Flying Thunder God for Hinata Yuzuru is long-distance teleportation.

In close combat, Hyuga Yuzuru has many methods, and his explosive power and speed are amazing. He does not need to rely on the extremely energy-consuming Flying Thunder God to fight. For him, the functional role of Flying Thunder God is the most important.

Nowadays, Hyuga Yuzuru is quite interested in the two forbidden techniques of Impure World Reincarnation and Shikigami Fushin.

Is Death really a god?
As his strength grows, Hinata Yuzuru becomes more and more interested in the origin of this world. Where does the soul come from, where does it go after death, where is the so-called pure land, and is the god of death a super-powerful creature or just a "supernatural phenomenon" without intelligence?
More and more doubts are presented before us, just like the mystery of Yin and Yang Escape, which attracts people to go deeper.

But unfortunately, Hyuga Yuzuru doesn't dare to conduct in-depth experiments on this yet, and still spends a lot of time on the research of Yin-Yang Escape. The concepts of soul and death are too profound and difficult to understand, and his current strength is far from being able to compete with those beings related to "God".

But despite this, through the study of the two forbidden techniques and the in-depth study of the theory, Hinata Yuzuru has also initially achieved certain results in the evil way of "playing with souls".

First of all, it is based on the "Spiritual Transformation Technique" of Tsunade's deceased lover, "Kato Dan".

Hinata Yuzuru did not get the original version of this forbidden technique that allows the soul to leave the body and fight the enemy, but he has developed a ninjutsu with the same effect by accumulating theoretical knowledge.

The Spiritualization Technique is a ninjutsu that can transform oneself into a living soul, travel through time and space regardless of distance, and kill enemies. It can also control the opponent's body and enter the spiritual world of others.

This is a very dangerous but powerful forbidden technique. In this ninja world where the soul strength of most people is mediocre and the understanding of the soul is relatively shallow, except for a few experts, there is almost no means of counterattack when facing soul attacks.

But the disadvantages are also significant. First of all, the body cannot move when the spell is being cast, and the weak connection between the soul and the body is also limited by distance. Hinata Yuzuru didn't dare to study it himself to see what would happen if the connection between the soul and the body was broken.

But there is no doubt that it is a very dangerous thing for the soul to leave the body. The soul is far less tough than the ninja's tempered body. It is also extremely dangerous to rashly enter the spiritual world of others.

However, this power, the ability to use mental force, that is, the ability to fight with the soul, still makes Hinata Yuzuru very interested. He believes that as long as he can master the power of the soul and find a way to use mental force directly, he will be able to make further progress in Yin Dun.

After practicing and exploring for most of the night, Hinata Yuzuru had to stop his research and use of the soul.

“The benefits are too low and the effects are too slow.”

He frowned slightly and began to think about whether there was a faster way to help him achieve a higher level of improvement in the use of his soul and mental power.

The fastest way, of course, is to master the relevant ninjutsu or forbidden techniques. As long as you practice diligently, as you upgrade, your system will allow you to have a flash of inspiration and understand many of the knowledge points. If you practice to the maximum, you can directly accumulate extremely rich knowledge in the relevant knowledge fields.

"Practicing illusion is a way to use mental power. Otherwise, why not start with illusion?"

Hinata Yuzuru thought of these "unconventional methods" that he had temporarily ignored.

In fact, he didn't really master many illusion techniques.

Apart from the Dark Technique left by the Second Hokage, which he had practiced to some extent, he had only accumulated a certain level of other illusions, gained a full understanding of them, and was familiar with the solutions to the illusions, and that was it.

The few illusions that have been fully practiced are also for the purpose of accumulating free experience points and some basic knowledge theories.

But he knew very little about advanced illusions. First, there were many types of illusions and they varied from person to person. Second, powerful illusions often came from the accumulation of some special families, such as Yuhi Kurenai and Kurama clan.
Hinata Yuzuru's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yuhi Kurenai, Kurama Yakumo."

How could I forget these two people?
Although he had little exposure to illusions, there were not many illusions recorded in the Sealed Book and the Konoha Library.

But as Konoha's top illusion ninja, Kurenai Yuhi is fully qualified to be his teacher!
Moreover, Kurama Yakumo once appeared in this anime, but his existence was short-lived and he disappeared as just a plot character.

Hinata Yuzuru never remembered it either.

It was not until this moment when he was pondering illusions and thought of Yuhi Kurenai that an idea suddenly flashed across his mind. He thought of this girl who was not well-known in the original work but possessed extremely powerful illusion abilities.

Kurama clan.
Hinata Yuzuru tried hard to recall and he could remember that they had greeted him like other small families, but he was unable to remember anything about Kurama Yakumo at that time.

At this moment, carefully recalling the strength displayed by Kurama Yakumo in the original anime, Hinata Yuzuru couldn't help but feel a strong interest in it.

Kurama Yakumo's abilities are extremely strange and powerful.

She could draw a picture of a burning Hokage Palace and almost set it on fire.

It can also manipulate the enemy's five senses, just like Aizen's mirror flower and water moon in "Bleach".

The most powerful thing is that she can pull the enemy into her spiritual world and fight with the enemy in the spiritual world. Moreover, after causing damage to the enemy in the spiritual world, she will also cause the same damage to the enemy's body in the real world.

The power of this illusion is both weird and strange, and completely different from conventional illusions. You must know that even if it is a god, it can only attack the enemy's mind, but cannot cause damage to reality at the moment of causing the mental attack.

Hinata Yuzuru boldly speculated that Kurama Yakumo's ability was probably not as simple as illusion. It was very likely that it involved the direct use of mental power and even the use of the soul.

This unique bloodline even reminded Hyuga Yuzuru of Senju Hashirama.

If Hashirama Senju's Wood Release is the limit of Yang Release bloodstains, then Yakumo Kurama's bloodstains are the most powerful Yin Release bloodstains he has ever seen, and are not even inferior to the Sharingan's bloodstains.

Just thinking about this, Hinata Yuzuru couldn't sleep.

It is really wrong to guard a treasure mountain without knowing it and forget about such a treasure girl.

But we can't blame him entirely for being careless - in the original anime, Kurama Yakumo only had so many scenes, and he didn't appear in the later parts.

However, there is a high probability that the reason why Kurama Yakumo became invisible in the later period was not because of her blood, but because of her body.

She was weak and had no talent as a ninja, and because of this, the more she practiced, the worse her health became. If spirit represented yin, then yang represented the body. This might be because the blood was too strong, causing yin to be stronger than yang.

Her teacher, Kurenai Yuhi, wanted her to protect her and did not want her to become a ninja. Her parents also agreed, which led to a misunderstanding and eventually caused Yakumo Kurama to become mentally unbalanced. Negative thoughts accumulated in her brain, and under the influence of her powerful mental power, she actually created a monster called 'Ido' with her mental power.

In a sense, Ido was her split second personality, and eventually, under the pressure of not being able to become a ninja, she used her mental power to burn her parents to death. However, Yakumo forgot all about it because of his brain's self-protection mechanism, and just thought that it was the Third Hokage who did it, and that it was the Konoha side that assassinated his parents.

The poor third generation really didn’t stick to the pan this time.

Of course, the cold treatment of Kurama Yakumo afterwards also showed that the third generation's vision was not enough.

In a sense, if such a genius could continue to grow well, he would be able to become a powerful Kage-level warrior.

Hinata Yuzuru pondered for a moment, but did not rush to find her. Instead, he sent a shadow clone out to check the relevant scrolls of the Kurama clan.

I choose to go to bed on time.

The next morning, the shadow clone read all the relevant scrolls about the Kurama clan and sent the information back.

as predicted.

At this moment, Kurama Yakumo was "imprisoned" by the Third Generation in the remote Satomigaoka Villa in Konoha because he was too dangerous.

Hinata Yuzuru was silent for a moment. The first thing he did when he arrived at the Hokage Building was to summon the senior ninja Yuhi Kurenai and the current patriarch of the Kurama clan, Kurama Unkai.

As the Hokage, Hinata Yuzuru is naturally very clear about how many jonin there are in Konoha Village, when they go out to do what missions, and when they come back to stay idle in the village.

After waiting for a while, the patriarch of the Kurama clan arrived first, and just before that, Yuhi Kurenai also arrived at the door of the office.

The two looked at each other, nodded and greeted each other, and then looked at Hinata Yuzuru who was looking at some information at the moment and said respectfully: "Godaime-sama."

"Good morning." Hinata Yuzuru put down the document in his hand, which recorded the specific battle records and performances with the Kurama clan, helping him better understand the combat power level of the Kurama clan.

He did not keep the audience in suspense, but said directly: "You should be very familiar with this kid Kurama Yakumo."

As soon as Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking, Yuhi Kurenai and Kurama Unkai's faces changed slightly. Kurama Unkai lowered his voice, with cold sweat faintly visible on his forehead: "Hokage-sama, could it be that Yakumo did this to you?"

"Don't panic, I'm just very interested in her.

Senior Hong, you were Kurama Yakumo's tutor when she was a child, and the head of the Unkai clan is her uncle, so I just thought of calling you two here to tell me about her."

After hearing what Hinata Yuzuru said, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

They looked at each other again and saw the relief in each other's eyes.

And Anma Yunhai hesitated for a moment, and then said directly, "Speaking of which, there is something I need to report to you."

He was silent for a moment to organize his words, and then he said: "I have personally informed the Third Hokage that there is a monster called Ido in the body of Kurama Yakumo. This monster is likely a monster split from Yakumo's own spiritual world. It may control her body at any time and cause immeasurable harm to Konoha.

She is a genius of our Kurama clan, a bloodstain owner that only appears once in several generations of our clan. Once she gets out of control, she may even pose a danger to you, the Hokage. I once suggested to the Third Hokage that we get rid of her.
Because the monster in her body had killed my brother and sister-in-law, her biological parents.
But the Third Generation rejected me, and together with the Yuhi Kurenai Jonin, decided to lock her up in the Satomigaoka Villa in the corner of Konoha.

But, in recent years, I have also visited her.

To be honest, Kurama Yakumo's condition has not improved much, and it makes me feel that it is getting more and more dangerous."

After Kurama Yunhai finished speaking, Yuhi Kurenai hurriedly explained: "Yakumo is a good child, she just needs a little time and a little help. If the fifth generation thinks she is in danger, I can try to comfort her!"

Hinata Yuzuru looked at Yuhi Kurenai with a slightly disappointed look and said, "If you can comfort her, why don't you do it right away, but wait until now?

What went wrong with her that gave birth to the inner demon Yidu? And how to solve it?

Is there a misunderstanding between them?"

Xihihong was speechless. She lowered her head and bit her lower lip lightly: "Sorry, this is my fault."

He's right.

This is indeed my own incompetence.

Similarly, Hinata Yuzuru turned his head and looked at Kurama Unkai: "As her family and elder, when she makes a mistake, don't just be afraid of trouble and danger.

In the final analysis, she is just a pitiful person who has mastered the power but has no mind to control it, and is ultimately harmed by it."

Kurama Yunhai was speechless. In fact, although he had feelings for his niece, apart from that, there seemed to be more fear and hatred beyond family affection - she killed not only her parents, but also the former patriarch of the Kurama clan, his own brother!
And Xi Ri Hong didn't know how to respond. She bit her lower lip in silence, feeling guilty and sad.

After all, she, who served as Kurama Yakumo's teacher in the past few years, was actually just a young girl who had just reached adulthood. She did not have a thorough understanding of children's psychology, and her actions were not mature enough.

But what I didn’t understand then, don’t I still understand now?

To put it bluntly, deep down in her heart, she was actually avoiding it and was unwilling to face the monster that was living in Kurama Yakumo's body.

Instead, he just cares about Kurama Yakumo, hoping that she can turn back from her wrong path and solve her own problems.

But in fact, until now, Xi Ri Hong still doesn't know why the lovely disciple back then turned into this "devil" that everyone fears and those who know the truth are terrified of.

She sighed and wanted to say something, but saw Hinata Yuzuru standing up.

"Let's go, Konoha is also at fault here.

Although I don't want to comment too much on the third generation, the way he handled this matter was also problematic.

Putting Kurama Yakumo under house arrest like in prison will neither be a punishment nor a solution to the problem.

I will take care of the monster in her.”

Hinata Yuzuru took a step forward, and Yuhi Kurenai and Kurama Unkai looked at him in astonishment, and almost at the same time said: "Hokage-sama."

Yuhi Kurenai glanced at Kurama Yakumo, and seeing that he indicated that she should speak first, she immediately said seriously: "You may not know how dangerous Kurama Yakumo is. Her illusion ability has exceeded the level of ordinary illusions thanks to the bloodstains. Even as a fellow illusion ninja, I am not confident that I can defeat her in the field of illusions.

You are a powerful ninja, but illusions are not powerful in the ordinary sense. If you are unprepared, or even if you are prepared, you may be hurt by Yakumo's illusions.

You are the Hokage of Konoha, you must not put yourself in danger!"

Hinata Yuzuru lowered his eyes and just chuckled: "If even I, the Hokage of Konoha, am no match for Kurama Yakumo, then we can't just let others deal with him, right?"

"I am willing to take the lead for you. Please let me try first. I will do everything I can to enlighten her, find out what's wrong with her, and get rid of the monster in her body.

Please give me some time and let me carry out this task!"

As Yuhi Kurenai said this, she was determined not to let Hinata Yuzuru be the victim.

Seeing her determined eyes, Hinata Yuzuru stopped and looked at Kurama Unkai, who said loudly at the right time: "Hokage-sama, me too."

Hinata Yuzuru was silent for a moment, seemed to be convinced, turned around, picked up a Flying Thunder God Kunai, and handed it to Yuhi Kurenai.

"Take this kunai with you. I'll keep an eye on you."

After he finished speaking, he sat back at his desk.

Xihi Kurenai breathed a sigh of relief, stood up straight with a resolute expression and said seriously: "I will do my best to complete the task!"

"Go." There was no change in Hyuga Yuzuru's emotions. Yuhi Kurenai felt a little uneasy, wondering if her decision and the mistakes she had made would make Hyuga Yuzuru dissatisfied. But she still bowed slightly, put the Flying Thunder God Kunai into her ninja tool bag, and turned to leave.

Kurama Yunhai also bowed and followed Hong, but his expression became worried after leaving the office.

"Hong, are you really confident?"

He spoke in a hoarse voice - even though he was also a jonin of Konoha, and like Hong, he was one of the very few who became a jonin through the ability of illusion, but if he asked himself honestly, he was not sure that he could defeat Kurama Yakumo in the battle of illusion and mental power.

My niece's biggest weakness is probably her frail body.

If you want to kill her, the best way is to use powerful ninjutsu to attack from a distance. As long as you are not within the coverage of her mental power, there is no way she will pull you into her mental world and kill you with illusion.

Although Yakumo Kurama's long-range illusion damage is amazing, and he can even set a house on fire from thousands of meters away, this ability can still be prevented and avoided by powerful ninjas.

Judging from Yuhi Kurenai's appearance, it seems that she has made up her mind to make up for her mistake, which means that she wants to have a good chat with Kurama Yakumo up close.

And at that distance, with Yakumo Kurama's ability, he can pull Hong into the spiritual world. With the powerful illusion ability possessed by her blood, even Yuhi Kurenai would find it difficult to escape unscathed.

"It doesn't matter. Even if we really have to do it, we just need to kill that monster. Once we kill it, Yakumo will return to his original form."

Hong clenched his fists, feeling mixed emotions.

Kurama Yunhai looked at her speechlessly for a while, then said, "Then let's go together, but wait for me to go home and arrange some things first."

Yuhi Kurenai nodded slightly in agreement and went to the Kurama clan's base first. When Kurama Yunhai came out, his face became determined.

Just now, he had prepared for the worst.

In fact, unlike Yuhi Kurenai, Kurama Unkai actually wanted the Hokage to solve this matter.

Xiurihong had no idea what she was facing.

But when Kurenai Yuhi put the Hokage's safety first and said that she would do this mission herself, what could he say? Could it be that he had to ask for some powerful jonin support when facing his niece?

Then in the eyes of the Hokage, how incompetent must he be as the clan leader of the so-called Kurama clan!
Hinata Yuzuru is the Hokage. No matter how strong Kurama Yakumo is, he can never be stronger than him. Isn't it the best way to let the Hokage solve the problem?
Being put on the Liangshan Mountain is a crime.

The image of Hokage in his mind is that of a very tall and omnipotent person, and he is totally unable to understand Kurenai Yuhi - in fact, in Kurenai Yuhi's eyes, although Hyuga Yuzuru is a Hokage who needs to be respected, he is also a junior in her ninja career.

Obviously, there is also a part of pride and self-esteem in this as Konoha's "strongest illusion ninja" at this time.

He whispered, "Let's go."

The two of them walked together towards the remote and desolate manor.

After passing through the woods outside Konoha Village, Satomigaoka Villa, located on a small hill, appeared before our eyes.

This is a beautiful Western-style mansion, which is actually a small villa with a Western style. It seems a bit out of tune with the style of Konoha. It was a manor built by a wealthy outsider when he moved to Konoha a long time ago. Later, the wealthy man died without any offspring, so the manor was left to Konoha. Due to its remote location and unique decoration style, it has been vacant.

Later, he was used by the Third Generation to imprison and monitor Kurama Yakumo.

The Anbu member in charge of surveillance at the door took a look at Yuhi Kurenai and Kurama Yakumo, and was not surprised. These two people were among the very few people who would come to see Kurama Yakumo.

Kurenai Yuhi nodded to the two ANBU who were keeping a distance and monitoring the building, then took a deep breath and stepped into the room.

It's still morning.

The sun is just rising and the weather is bright.

But the manor villa with the curtains drawn seemed a little dark.

Xihihong knocked on the door for a long time but no one responded, so she could only use the key of the Anbu to enter. As soon as she stepped into the house, she subconsciously became alert.

It was obviously a very ordinary room, but for some reason, she felt a little terrified.

She took a step forward and saw that the villa was filled with strange, cruel and distorted paintings.

There are paintings of a group of ninjas dying tragically in a deep alley, and there are also paintings of streets burning in blazing flames.
Many of the details are chilling enough to give people the chills at first glance.

Even, Kurenai Yuhi saw a painting of the Hokage Building, but while painting it, the owner seemed to hesitate for some reason and stopped only halfway through.

"Yakumo."

she called softly.

After a long time, some slow noises were heard in the bedroom.

pat, pat.

The slow footsteps even made people wonder what was coming out.

In the dim corridor outside the door, the sunlight that came in was blocked by the curtains, and only a ray fell on the two of them. Kurama Yunhai said nothing, staring at the wooden door in silence, and unconsciously clenched his hands slightly, while Xiri Hong was relatively relaxed, but her expression was a little puzzled.

"Crench."

The person who opened the door was a pale-faced girl.

She stared at the two people outside the door in silence and indifference. She only stayed on Xi Ri Hong for a moment, and then said coldly in a somewhat unfamiliar and hoarse voice: "What's the matter?"

Xiurihong began to chat hesitantly, just like usual, asking if she had eaten well and if she needed anything.

But in the eyes of Kurama Yakumo, all this seemed particularly funny.

There is a rather outrageous misunderstanding between Yakumo Kurama and Kurenai Yuhi. Kurenai Yuhi and Sandai once discussed the monster deep in Yakumo Kurama's heart. Sandai suggested killing the monster, but Yakumo Kurama overheard it.

Yes, the dignified Hokage and Konoha's elite Jonin was actually eavesdropped by a girl who was not even a ninja.

Then, Kurama Yakumo was so ridiculous that he didn't hear clearly and just thought that the Hokage wanted to attack him.

Kurama Yakumo, who knew nothing about his parents' death, attributed the cause of his parents' death to the assassination of the Hokage.
Regardless of how outrageous this original plot is, the fact is that even now, Kurama Yakumo's heart is filled with resentment towards the Hokage and hatred for Yuhi Kurenai's betrayal.

Kurama Yakumo stared at Yuhi Kurenai in silence for a while, then returned to the room without saying a word.

She hesitated for a moment between the bed and the drawing board by the window, and finally walked towards the drawing board, picked up the oil pen, stared out the window for a while, as if thinking about what to draw, and then picked up the pen.

Yuhi Kurenai has become accustomed to Kurama Yakumo's indifference. She sighed and has no idea why she has become like this.

I could only silently make her bed and fold the quilt for her.

But Kurama Yunhai directly said: "Yakumo."

Kurama Yakumo stopped painting and looked coldly at his uncle, wondering what this relative, with whom he seldom communicated, wanted to say.

But what Anma Yunhai said next made her face change drastically.

"There is a monster living inside your body. That monster is in your spiritual world. Both I and Teacher Yuhi Hong have witnessed it with our own eyes.

It's called. Idu.

It was he who killed your parents.

I didn't tell you before because I really didn't know how to say it.

I don’t know how things will develop if I tell you.”

"Nonsense!" Kurama Yakumo shouted loudly with a trembling voice, and the paintbrush in her hand made a creaking sound. Given her physique, the fact that she could do this was enough to show how excited she was at the moment.

She looked at Kurama Yunhai with her eyes wide open, staring at the two of them with an increasingly cold attitude: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. The Hokage sent you here!"

Yuhi Kurenai and Kurama Unkai were both stunned, then nodded. Just as they were about to explain, they saw Kurama Yakumo let out a desperate and cold laugh, and the next moment, the world was spinning.

After opening their eyes again, the two of them tensed up with goosebumps all over their bodies.

This was an extremely deep abyss. There was bottomless darkness beneath her feet. Wherever she stepped, she felt a slow sinking sensation that sent a chill down her spine. Xi Rihong looked down and saw that the pitch-black ground seemed to have swallowed her feet as if it had life. As expected, she was slowly descending in it.

She subconsciously formed seals with her hands, but then released them - ordinary ninjutsu could not be performed here.

As an illusion ninja, she knew very well that the only way to be effective here was to use powerful mental strength to confront the opponent head-on.

Resist all harm from the opponent and stay awake, and even need to close the five senses to avoid being severely damaged in the spiritual world.

But Yuhi Kurenai also knows one thing very well: Yakumo's illusion is different from that of others. Other people's illusions can be broken free from by blocking perception or creating pain, but in Yakumo's illusion, once you get hurt, you are really hurt.

The only thing to be thankful for is that her body greatly reduced the amount of blood she shed. Also, perhaps the existence of the monster shared Yakumo's power. For Yakumo to kill people in his spiritual world requires a very slow process.

And this process is her opportunity.

Find her in her spirit world. Then
Xiurihong suddenly hesitated.

She raised her head and saw starlight in the sky. Stones appeared out of thin air and formed a staircase leading upwards. Above the staircase, it was as if a stone platform appeared in the starry sky. Kurama Yakumo was sitting on a chair on the stone platform, gently painting an oil painting.

"Yakumo!"

Xihihong called the other person's name loudly.

Kurama Yakumo didn't even look at her.

Yuhi Kurenai glanced at Kurama Unkai beside him. Kurama Unkai had a serious expression on his face. He looked at the swamp below him, took a deep breath, pulled out a kunai, and swung it fiercely at his arm.

Useless.

Kurama Yunhai was not surprised, but he repeatedly hit his arm to tear it apart, and said quickly: “Even if Yakumo’s illusion is more difficult to solve than ordinary illusions, it is precisely because we are in a world outside of illusions that we will be hurt by illusions. As long as a certain amount of pain and damage accumulates, our bodies in reality will trigger the biological instinctive protection mechanism and shut down our brains.

Once we return to reality, we will have a chance to counterattack her!"

"Are you really going to attack me?" Yakumo's breathing on the high platform paused for a moment. She turned her pale face and looked at her uncle in the swamp below with mocking eyes. She was silent and made up her mind.

She was scribbling something on the drawing board without saying a word. Soon, Kurama Yunhai's face changed suddenly. She discovered the swamp under her body and it began to feel hot.

"Oops!"
