Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

Chapter 20 Wandering Shrine Maiden

"A woman dressed as a shrine maiden?"

Yin Yue's eyes lit up.

Dr. Nak's expression was solemn, and he sighed in a deep voice:

"That woman can even cure such a troublesome infantile illness, which shows her incredibly precise control over medical ninjutsu chakra. If we invite her, she might be able to save this guy!"

The Uchiha's expressions changed slightly; their previously scattered hopes were reunited.

Everyone turned to look at Yin Yue.

Jaeger's expression suddenly changed, fear flashing between his brows, and he stammered:

"She's just a little scary."

Nanfeng asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Jaeger took a deep breath, composed himself, and replied:

"When that woman came up the mountain, her priestess robe was stained with blood, and she was carrying a lot of rogue ninja headbands. I guess she must have really wiped out all the rogue ninja in this area."

The Uchiha were about to press for more information.

But he was interrupted by Yin Yue's sidelong glance, and he gestured for Jaeger to continue.

Jaeger's pupils contracted as he recalled his first encounter with that woman, and a chill ran down his spine:

"After she went up the mountain, she came to our door and knocked on the door very politely."

I opened the door.

The smell of blood was pungent and acrid.

Looking at her under the white hood, she was very beautiful, but her glasses were stained with blood, her eyes were squinting, and she had a gentle smile on her lips. She was also carrying several white packages that were dripping blood.

She spoke gently, only saying that she needed to stay overnight, and even gave me a lot of money, asking me to take care of her food.

At that time...

I want to refuse.

But reason told me not to act impulsively, and intuition told me that she really meant no harm and just wanted to stay overnight.

So, I suppressed my fear and took her to the abandoned wooden house to the right of my house.

In the middle of the night, she heard my child crying in pain, and came over to help us heal the child.

Therefore, it is clear that she must be a good person.

So tonight I'm taking some men out hunting to help her catch some game as a way of repaying her; otherwise, we usually don't go hunting at night.

Captain Yinyue…

You mustn't tell her that I was the one who told you all this.

Yin Yue nodded and asked, "Is it the wooden house with lights on, about a hundred meters away, on the right-hand side as you enter?"

The Uchiha's eyes trembled slightly. They hadn't expected that Captain Yinyue had memorized the surrounding terrain before he arrived.

Even the usually meticulous Mikoto couldn't help but cast a surprised glance at Yinyue; she had never been this observant during her time as a full-time ninja.

Quan clicked his tongue in disbelief, feeling a chill run down his spine. The night, the blonde beauty, covered in blood, holding a severed head... it all looked like the unfolding of a ghost story.

"Yes." Geyer nodded, his expression serious, as if he was going all out.

"Nanfeng, bring your men and follow me. Quan, you all stay here and guard this place," Yinyue gave a brief instruction.

He was efficient and decisive, leading his men away from the wooden house. As they looked out onto the rugged mountain path, they saw that the candlelight was still burning inside the paper windows of the wooden house.

The four people turned into shadows.

We arrived at the door of the wooden house.

bang——

Nanfeng kicked open the wooden door, and his two subordinates behind him were speechless, secretly sighing that their captain was still so direct and decisive.

Yin Yue looked at Nan Feng with a strange expression and said calmly, "We've come to invite someone."

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Nanfeng looked apologetic and even considered reaching out to pull the door open to try again.

But his subordinates had already followed Yinyue into the house.

A wooden bathtub sits in the hall, its surface sprinkled with pink petals, and steam rising from it.

Water stains were scattered on the floor.

There is a clean bed and bedding on the inside.

A blood-stained black and white witch's robe was piled up beside the bed, along with two purple lace undergarments embroidered with classical patterns and featuring openwork trim.

The room was filled with a delicate fragrance, like orchids.

Clearly, a woman had been bathing here earlier, but she heard the noise and left in a hurry, without even having time to put on her clothes.

Yin Yue scanned the wooden house, which contained no other objects, and then glanced at the woman's clothes, drawing an assessment in her mind.

He has a dignified appearance.

He's secretly passionate.

He is adept at using kindness and compassion as a disguise, and his methods are no different from those of a ninja.

Where are they?

Uchiha Nanfeng looked around at the wooden house, which seemed to end at a glance, and said urgently.

One Uchiha member sighed, "Even if there were people, they would have been scared away by Captain Nanfeng's kick."

Nanfeng immediately looked embarrassed and stopped talking, silently looking at Yinyue who had no expression.

wow-

Yin Yue gently stroked the surface of the bathwater with her right hand, and the petals instantly spread out to both sides. Feeling the water temperature between her fingers, she had found the answer in her heart.

"She probably left before we got here," Yin Yue said, pressing her hand against the bathtub, concentrating intently on some kind of attempt.

"Captain Yinyue, I'll go and bring her back..." Nanfeng's pupils widened before he finished speaking.

The other two Uchiha also looked strange.

The bathtub next to Yinyue vanished into thin air without any warning.

The three exclaimed inwardly, "Captain Yinyue really does know the most mysterious space-time ninjutsu!"

"She doesn't want to take action, nor does she want to see us. Let's go. Finding a ninja who can roam the ninja world in this desolate wilderness will take a lot of time."

Yin Yue analyzed.

After saying this, he ignored the shock on the faces of Nanfeng and the other two, and turned to leave the wooden house.

As for the bathtub and the bathwater, it lay quietly in his storage space.

Yinyue already knew who this witch was.

I just didn't expect it.

She is on Kikyo Mountain.

She has long blonde hair, round-framed glasses, and is dressed as a shrine maiden. She has an exceptional appearance and is skilled in medical ninjutsu.

This is naturally the renowned Yakushi Nonou, a former member of the Root organization in the ninja world.

Around the night of the Uchiha clan massacre.

She is not dead yet.

As for why she was here.

When Yin Yue and the others returned to the cabin, he had a general idea in his mind.

The four men, including Yin Yue, returned empty-handed.

Izumi, Mikoto, and the other Uchiha immediately dimmed their eyes, and even Jaeger felt frustrated for them.

Tamao suddenly burst into laughter: "If I die, your burden will be lighter, which is a good thing. Don't be too sad!"

The grief among the crowd deepened.

During the time the four people were away.

Under Dr. Izumi's guidance, he learned some bandaging techniques, and with materials provided by Jaeger, a simple stretcher was made for Tamao.

Yin Yue came to Jaeger's side and instructed him, "We're leaving now. Starting tomorrow, you and your family should stay at the Kikyō City Inn for a while."

He didn't explain further.

Jaeger nodded solemnly, indicating that he believed in Yin Yue, and then hurriedly ran into the kitchen.

The Uchiha men quickly packed up, then two of them carried Tamao out the door.

Jaeger ran out carrying a large pile of food, urgently saying, "Captain Yinyue, take these with you!"

Drinking the moon, he looked back.

Jaeger rushed over, panting heavily, carrying ten pounds of smoked wild boar meat and food bags of chicken and duck eggs.

The Uchiha clan members suddenly felt a warm glow in their hearts.

In the leaf.

They were met with disdain from the villagers as they walked down the street, but unexpectedly, a refugee treated them with genuine kindness because of their team leader.

Jaeger stuffed the food into Nanfeng and the others' hands, then took out a piece of rough paper from his pocket, handed it to Yinyue, and chuckled:

"Captain, although I don't know what mission you're going to carry out, this is a map I personally surveyed of this area. I hope it can be of help!"

Yin Yue did not refuse his kindness. She smiled slightly and said, "Go back and take good care of your wife and children."

Jaeger nodded with a smile.

Quan, carrying the food bag containing eggs, thought for a moment and then softly gave a few words of advice:

"Mr. Jaeger, we have taken your Kirigakure rogue ninja headband. Don't pretend to be a rogue ninja in the wild in the future. It is a very dangerous thing to do in the Land of Fire, even on the border."

Jaeger scratched his head awkwardly:

"This is just a tactic to deter bandits. However, we will try to become stronger and not resort to such petty tricks."

Seeing that the other party was very obedient, Quan nodded in satisfaction.

Dr. Nak also came out.

Seeing the group leave, the doctor breathed a long sigh of relief. These jinxes are finally gone. Great!

Under the pitch-black night sky, Yin Yue and the others quickly headed northwest, disappearing into the night after a few leaps and bounds at the end of the mountain road.

……

Wild mountains and ridges.

In the woods, under the moonlight, a graceful, mature figure sat on a tree branch.

She was only wrapped in a snow-white bath towel.
