Naruto the Genius

Chapter 218 Mud
Ushiki, who was fighting not far away, also noticed Honglian's danger, but he was now firmly trapped by Sai's ninjutsu and had no way to support Honglian. It was very difficult to escape from Sai's ninjutsu with brute force alone. Sai maintained his ninjutsu while paying attention to Ushiki. Although his ninjutsu had trapped the opponent, this extremely powerful opponent also forced him to be very careful.

Just when Sai's attention was focused on the Ushi-Oni, a large amount of mud suddenly rushed up from the bottom of the lake. Because the amount of mud was large and Sai didn't pay attention to his back, he was directly submerged by the mud. Although the lethality of the mud was not great, it wrapped Sai's entire body and he couldn't move freely. Sai's technique also stopped, and the Ushi-Oni resumed his freedom of movement.

The red lotus crystals were attacked by Shino's bugs, and the recovery speed began to fail to keep up, and the gap gradually became larger and larger. Kakashi condensed the lightning chakra in his hand, ready to use the Raikiri to get rid of the red lotus in one fell swoop. At this time, a large amount of mud formed an attack like raindrops, and Shino's bugs were shot down in large numbers. Then the Ushiki was covered with mud, blocking in front of Kakashi and said: "No passage here." Kakashi ignored this, and Chidori stabbed directly, and the flashing lightning pierced through the mud. Even with the mud wrapped around, the Ushiki was still seriously injured.

Seeing this, Honglian shouted, "Gyutou, go away, let me take care of them." Niugui shook his head and wrapped Honglian with a stream of mud. The mud rushed out quickly and sent Honglian far away. As Honglian shouted, Niugui sank to the bottom of the water with the mud under Kakashi's attack.

Before, Naruto suddenly left because he knew Kakashi and others were enough to deal with Honglian, and secondly, he did have his own purpose. While the others were fighting, Naruto began to look for Yuukimaru. Under the Sage Mode, Naruto quickly found where Yuukimaru was. Naruto flashed in front of Yuukimaru, and Yuukimaru was startled by Naruto.

But when he saw it was Naruto, he immediately smiled and said, "It's you. You helped us stop the Three-Tails last time." Naruto nodded and smiled, "It seems that you still remember me, but there are some misunderstandings between me and Honglian. By the way, I haven't told you yet, my name is Uzumaki Naruto." Youkimaru nodded and said, "Yes, my name is Youkimaru."

Naruto said, "In this case, we know each other. Youkimaru, I have something to ask you." Youkimaru nodded and said, "Well, what do you want to ask, Naruto brother?" Naruto said, "What does Guren mean to you?" Youkimaru thought for a while and said, "Sister Guren and I have always missed each other. Sister Guren is my home now." Naruto nodded. What Youkimaru said was within Naruto's expectations.

Naruto sat on a rock, keeping the same height as Youkimaru, looked at Youkimaru and said, "Youkimaru, have you ever thought about where you will go after completing this mission? Even if this mission is successful, you will return to Orochimaru. There is a dark underground base, Orochimaru, and Kabuto Yakushi. Even if you go back, you will only face endless darkness."

Although Youguimaru was young, he was quite sensible. He could fully understand what Naruto said. Youguimaru kept shaking his head and said, "No, I don't want to go back there with Sister Honglian anymore, never again." He grabbed his head with both hands and shook it painfully. Suddenly, he remembered something and looked at Naruto and said, "Brother Naruto, you have a way, right? You must have a way, right?"

Just as Yukimaru kept asking Naruto, Naruto sensed someone, it was Kabuto Yakushi. Kabuto, who was hiding in the dark, saw Naruto and thought to himself, "Damn it, how could Yukimaru be found by him? In this case, if we want to stop Konoha from sealing the Three-Tails, we can only take other measures." Kabuto thought that Naruto didn't find him, so he quietly left again. He was now going to prevent Konoha from sealing the Three-Tails. Because of Yukimaru, Naruto didn't leave.

Looking into Youkimaru's eyes, Naruto said, "Youkimaru, if you are willing to believe me and let Honglian believe me as well, then I will definitely agree to your request." Youkimaru nodded and said, "Sister Honglian will definitely agree to it." Naruto smiled and said, "In that case, let's go find Honglian together. She might be in danger." Hearing that Honglian was in danger, Youkimaru was also very active and rushed to the lake under the leadership of Naruto.

Honglian finally escaped with the help of Niugui, dragged her injured body for a distance, and finally fell to the ground due to exhaustion. When she was conscious, Honglian had a dream. In the dream, there were many white camellias and a woman. This woman was Youguimaru's mother, and Honglian killed this woman with crystal escape. This dream directly woke Honglian up, and after waking up, she also realized that she was the one who killed Youguimaru's mother, and she felt even more guilty for this.

After regaining consciousness, she continued to move towards her previous hiding place, but unexpectedly she met Kabuto Yakushi. Seeing that it was Honglian, Kabuto said, "I thought it was someone else? It turned out to be Honglian. It seems that the mission has failed. If this continues, the three-tail will be sealed soon. It seems that I can only use the Ghost Pill again." Hearing that Kabuto was going to use the Ghost Pill, Honglian frowned and said, "Kabuto, that medicine has a lot of side effects. If I use it again, the Ghost Pill..."

Kabuto said, "Even so, the life and death of Youkimaru is none of your business, right?" Honglian said, "No, I will never let Youkimaru get hurt." This was not only sincere, but also a little sad. Seeing Honglian in this state, Kabuto laughed and said, "What, you want to tell me that demons can also have tears? I never thought that you, who killed Youkimaru's mother and ruined Youkimaru's fate, would have such an idea."

Honglian was shocked and asked, "How do you know?" Kabuto said, "Lord Orochimaru already knew everything, including that you would develop feelings for Youkimaru, and even that you would betray Lord Orochimaru because of Youkimaru. However, from now on, if you want me to keep a secret, you have to do as I ask." Although she was very unwilling, but considering Youkimaru's feelings, Honglian gritted her teeth and agreed to Kabuto Yakushi.

Honglian asked Dou, "What kind of mission is it?" Dou turned and left, saying, "Lin'er will convey the specific mission to you." Looking at Dou's departing back, Honglian felt very unhappy.
