Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 128

In the blink of an eye.

Three months have passed.

Sea of ​​war.

On a deserted island, Sarutobi Biwako and Sarutobi Ayase stood facing each other, ten meters apart. Kato Dan stood not far between them, looking at them with an embarrassed and helpless expression, not knowing what to do.

I'll say it again.

Suppressing her anger, Biwako said heavily, "If you abort the child in your belly, you'll still be my daughter-in-law; otherwise..."

"No." Sarutobi Ayase shook her head, gently touching her slightly protruding belly, and said softly, "I must give birth to this child, and then, in front of Li Yao... hehe... eat him."

"What!!!!"

Biwako and Kato Dan stared wide-eyed at Sarutobi Ayase, wondering if they had misheard.

But no.

cold!

In an instant, an unprecedented chill swept over Biwako and Kato Dan, affecting their minds and bodies.

They both trembled involuntarily.

Watching Sarutobi Ayase gently stroke her belly, her face radiating maternal love as she spoke of wanting to eat the unborn child inside, the two felt as if they were in the depths of hell in broad daylight, their bodies chilled and their eyes trembling.

"Aya...Ayase!!!"

Biwako's mouth trembled as she stared at her daughter-in-law in horror. She never imagined that her daughter-in-law's reason for refusing to abort the child was this!

"Li Yao... what exactly did that bastard do to Ayase to turn her into this terrible person?"

No, we absolutely cannot let Ayase give birth to that bastard child in her belly, otherwise Ayase will never be able to turn back in this life and will completely become a monster that only eats people.

"Ayase, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Tenju. Do you think Tenju would want you to give birth to that bastard in your belly?"

Sarutobi Biwako brought up her eldest son, Tenshu, with the intention of using her daughter-in-law's love for her son to change Ayase's mind and make her abort the illegitimate child in her womb.

However, she overlooked the saying, "The deeper the love, the deeper the hate."

Extreme love can give rise to extreme hatred.

When her mother-in-law brought up her husband, Sarutobi Ayase only trembled slightly, her eyes remaining completely expressionless.

"I believe Tianzhu will understand me!"

Even if you don't understand, I won't change my decision.

Sarutobi Ayase thought to herself.

The moment Li Yao whipped her body, she was already dead; she was no longer worthy of being her husband's wife.

Even after being beaten and humiliated by Li Yao in front of her husband so many times, her husband still loved her as always and was still willing to sacrifice his own life for her safety.

Sarutobi Ayase knew that she was no longer worthy of receiving such pure love from her husband.

She was already dead at that moment.

Now she is merely the embodiment of hatred, existing only to take revenge on Li Yao.

She was determined to retaliate a hundredfold, a thousandfold, against the humiliation Li Yao had inflicted on her husband.

She originally didn't have that opportunity.

Li Yao is very strong, and it's impossible to capture him alive. Killing him would be the strongest form of revenge.

But it is different now.

She possessed the bloodline of that demon, Li Yao.

She would make Li Yao taste the pain of having his son devoured before his very eyes.

Hehe...that must be wonderful.

"You're insane! You're insane!"

Looking at the slight smile on her daughter-in-law's lips, Sarutobi Biwako shook her head repeatedly, trembling. She knew that her daughter-in-law's heart was dead; she was now just a body seeking revenge on Li Yao, and had long since lost all sense of humanity.

"Since you're unwilling, then I'll do it myself."

Biwako took a deep breath, her eyes flashed, and she hardened her heart, rushing towards Sarutobi Ayase in a flash. However, Ayase was no longer the same person she used to be.

During the torture she endured by Li Yao, the intense emotional stimulation boosted her mental or spiritual strength, which in turn greatly enhanced her chakra control.

Clang!

Biwako's handprint was imprinted on a circular ink-wash shield, as if it were imprinted on a hard steel shield, making her hand go numb.

"call out!"

Sarutobi Ayase used a Body Flicker Technique to leap into the sky, and the ink-wash shield followed her into the sky, transforming into a large ink-wash bird that caught her body.

"This is... a super beast fake drawing?"

Biwako stared in astonishment at her daughter-in-law suspended in mid-air.

The black steel shield we just saw was formed from the ink painting of the Super Beast, but... how come it's as hard as steel?

Moreover... from beginning to end, she never saw her daughter-in-law take out a scroll or use a brush. Instead, she directly used chakra to condense a shield that transformed into ink.

This was completely different from the super beast fake painting she knew.

How did the daughter-in-law manage to do that?

Kato Dan was also surprised. He knew something about the secret technique "Super Beast Imitation Painting", but he had never heard of using chakra to directly condense an ink-transformation shield or a giant bird.

Clearly, Ayase-senpai made improvements to the Super Beast Imitation Drawing.

Judging from the fact that the shield that was just formed could block Lord Biwako's sealing palm strike, the Water Ink Shield has a very strong defensive capability.

This also means that the ink paintings and various sharp objects are also hard and sharp.

A secret technique that combines attack, defense, flight, perception, and reconnaissance.

What a perfect secret technique!

It is comparable to the Third Kazekage's Magnet Release: Iron Sand Manipulation.

"What an amazing senior, it's just..."

Looking at Lord Biwako, who was still preparing to take action, Kato Dan had a headache. He had roughly guessed what had happened from their conversations over the past few days, and he didn't want to interfere in the rest.

However, he could not tolerate his teammates attacking each other.

call out!

Kato Dan stood in the air between Ayase and Biwako, and said to Biwako, "Lady Biwako, comrades should not attack each other. Let's talk things over."

Upon hearing this, Biwako glared angrily at Kato Dan and shouted, "Speak properly? You go and talk to my daughter-in-law properly, and tell her to abort that bastard in her belly!"

"This..." Kato Dan was embarrassed by the retort. He turned to look at Ayase-senpai, who was standing expressionless in mid-air with the ink-wash bird. He wanted to say something... but he didn't know how to say it.

Honestly, he was in favor of having the child. After all, the child in his predecessor's womb was innocent, and he couldn't decide who his parents were.

But none of them should arbitrarily erase the existence of a life.

Especially... the thought of his senior's devilish actions made Kato Dan's heart tremble.

He would never let Ayase-senpai harm the baby in her womb, no matter what.

"I believe the Hokage thinks the same way."

Kato thought to himself.

"It's all your fault, otherwise Ayase would have aborted the baby long ago."

Biwako stared resentfully at Kato Dan's retreating figure, still feeling very uneasy, with nowhere to vent her anger.

Five days ago, Biwako suddenly realized that her daughter-in-law's belly didn't seem to be fat. She finally realized that her daughter-in-law's frequent vomiting over the past three months was not a psychological aftereffect of being tormented by Li Yao, but rather morning sickness.
