From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 86 Medicine Master No Naiyu

Several figures moved swiftly through the misty woods.

Suddenly, one of them stopped and carefully examined a certain mark, while raising his fist to signal the others to be on their guard.

"Judging from the footprints, the target should be heading towards the village." Staring at the faint ninja boot marks on the tree branch, the man with the ponytail rubbed his chin, glanced up in the direction of the village, and sneered twice: "He didn't even bother to conceal his whereabouts. This guy doesn't take us seriously at all."

These words caused the others to show their anger.

Since becoming members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, no one has dared to underestimate them like this for many years!

"Damn it, how dare you underestimate us like this!"

The brat with his blue hair sticking up in a topknot looked grim and gritted his teeth, saying, "Once we catch this guy, we'll make him pay!"

"Hiss~ Interesting, this guy." The man carrying the broadsword grinned bloodthirstyly, licked his lips, and his eyes flashed with ferocity: "Perfect, my decapitation sword is missing a piece of iron, I need fresh blood to restore it!"

That guy is just too arrogant!
Not only did they kill Ishikawa Takeo, but they also stole the Exploding Blade Spray, and they didn't even bother to conceal their tracks along the way, clearly aiming straight for Kirigakure.

"Keep chasing."

The man with the ponytail slowly stood up, grinned, and said, "The footprints are still fresh; that guy isn't far from us."

The others nodded in agreement and were about to set off when they were stopped by a person who suddenly appeared.

The man was wearing a patterned mask and was clearly a member of an elite assassination squad under the command of the Mizukage.

"People from the Dark Guard?"

The blue-haired brat with his topknot frowned, a hint of impatience flashing across his face: "What is it? Speak quickly!"

The Hidden Mist Village's Anbu is notorious even within the village itself. They specialize in hunting down rogue ninja and are like bloodthirsty hyenas, never letting go once they bite their prey. Their methods are cruel and harsh, and they enforce the First Mizukage's policy of secrecy.

Therefore, almost no one likes the Dark Division, after all, these guys are too annoying.

"By order of the Water Shadow, I am conveying this mission."

The ANBU member's voice was cold as he tossed a scroll over: "Twin Blades Hiramekarei Kibei, Long Blade Sewing Needle Shishido, Blunt Blade Kabuto Ryo Asakawa, are responsible for continuing to hunt down the intruders. The remaining ninja swords, Suigetsu Hobuki, Biwa Juzo, and Kurosuki Raiga, will return to Kirigakure with me."

"Wait, why is the Mizukage suddenly telling us to go back?"

Pipa Juzo was the first to express his dissatisfaction, saying indignantly, "We finally caught up, and now you want me to go back? My Executioner's Blade is itching for a fight!"

He wasn't the only one dissatisfied; Kibei was also among them.

Kibei, with his blue hair spiked into a topknot, coldly stared at the Anbu: "Is this the Mizukage's doing, or those old bastards'?"

"Lord Kibei, please obey orders."

The secret service didn't answer directly, but emphasized the word "command": "There are more important things to do in the village."

After a moment of silence, Kibei had no choice but to swallow his anger and said with an unfriendly look, "Fine, we will obey orders."

The ANBU member, without changing his expression, handed over a blood-stained scroll and said, "This is the information about the intruders that Ishikawa Takeo passed on before he died."

"Konoha. Uchiha Munetsuki, Higashi no Shijin mentioned him."

Kibei squinted as he scanned the scroll, and scoffed, "I see. It seems those guys from Konoha have already noticed our movements."

"Tsk, that guy is yours now, Kibei."

Pipa Juzo suppressed his dissatisfaction and crossed his arms over his chest.

After saying that, Suigetsu Hozuki, Hibiki Juzo, and Kurosuki Raiga disappeared instantly along with the Anbu.

The three who remained—Kibei, Shishido, and Asakawa Ryo—were responsible for continuing to track down Uchiha Munezuki.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Muneki finally arrived at a village, though not Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) yet, it was quite close.

Thanks to the policies of the First Mizukage, and the fact that the area was remote and resource-scarce, the status of civilians was extremely low. All living supplies were provided to the ninjas, leaving only the bare minimum to sustain life.

Most people live their lives like this. Their faces are filled with suffering, their eyes are empty, like walking corpses, without a glimmer of hope.

"Well……"

Uchiha Munetsuki stroked his chin: "It seems like they don't even need to use psychology to become invisible anymore. These people don't care at all."

On everyone's face, there seemed to be no hope for the future. Their souls seemed to have died long ago, leaving behind empty shells that slowly rotted and stinked in the world.

Witnessing this scene.

Deep down, Uchiha Munekichi became increasingly certain of his belief that a world dominated by ninjas... was a mistake.

And the error needs to be corrected!

Lost in thought, he walked down a street and, without realizing it, stopped in front of a pharmacy.

"arrive."

Looking up at the pharmacy, Uchiha Munetsuki walked straight inside.

The pharmacy was sparsely furnished, with many parts even moldy and damaged. Only one figure was busy working beside the medicine cabinet.

Uchiha Muneki wasn't in a hurry. He leisurely went inside, casually looking around, then found a chair, sat down, rested his cheek on his hand, and smiled as he watched the busy figure.

half an hour.

Seemingly having finally tidied up, the figure wiped away sweat, let out a soft breath, and then slowly turned around.

She was a woman, around twenty years old, with a gentle demeanor, shoulder-length brown hair, round-framed glasses, and a faint smile that always graced her lips, radiating an approachable aura.

The woman turned around, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

In her own pharmacy, a man was sitting there, looking at her with a half-smile. Her heart nearly stopped, and she almost screamed in fright.

"You...who are you?!"

Suppressing her shock, the woman revealed a fearful expression and trembled as she said, "Please...please don't kill me...I have nothing...If you want money, I can give you everything."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Munetsuki laughed, a hint of mischievousness in his voice, and said, "I don't want anything... I just want you, Yakushi Nonou!"

exposed!
This was the first thought that popped into Yakushi Nono's mind, and then, in less than a second, she made a decision!

I can't die here...

Konoha, and those children, are all waiting for her to return!
Swish! ! !
The shuriken shot through the air in an instant.

The woman who had just appeared delicate and gentle was now charging forward like a cheetah, her killing intent palpable!
The next moment, Yakushi Nonou was frozen in place.

Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the man in shock, drawn by his blood-red eyes.

"Write...Sharingan!"

Yakushi Nono opened her mouth slightly, as if she was just realizing what was happening.

"You've been conscripted, Yakushi Nonou."

Uchiha Muneki's eyes narrowed slightly, a smile playing on his lips.

Ugh... I'm being censored again. My chapters have been getting constantly reviewed these past few days, even though I haven't written anything particularly offensive.
