The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Only after Sasuke Uchiha felt a little dizzy did he ask:

"Why do we need so many?"

But He Maozhongxing remained unmoved and said calmly:

"This is just one serving; you need to take it three times a day, morning, noon, and night."

Having heard what the professionals in front of him had to say, Uchiha Sasuke endured the dizziness and let Kamo Tadashi draw his blood.

After the blood draw was completely finished, Sasuke Uchiha slumped down against the mountain wall, looking at the unconscious Boruto with a haggard expression.

Sasuke Uchiha felt that Boruto's aura had become more stable, though he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.

But still, with an uncertain tone, she asked Kamo no Tadayuki, "How is it? Is it working?"

Kamo nods mechanically and says indifferently:

"It seems that we don't need the blood of immortals; your blood will suffice."

During the current treatment period, the child needs to rest quietly and must not catch a cold again.

Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha smiled.

It seems I was right after all; with the Rinnegan, my blood can also detoxify.

Suddenly, Sasuke Uchiha noticed the syringe in Tadashi Kamo's hand, and his heart jumped again.

So much blood was drawn in one go.

Three times a day, it will take a full seven days.

At this rate of extraction, I'm afraid my body simply doesn't have that much blood.

Nutrition must be adequate.

Hunting is already difficult this season, and he also has to find a way to evade Uchiha Tonan's pursuit.

If we go out rashly, we might leave some clues and the other party might come looking for us.

Do you have anything to eat?

Having no other options, Sasuke Uchiha could only hope that the ninja he was controlling with his genjutsu would be carrying some nutritious food with him.

Unfortunately, after hearing Sasuke Uchiha's question, Tadashi Kamo pulled out a bottle of soldier rations from his ninja tool pouch.

Seeing this, Uchiha Sasuke frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Soldier's ration pills can only fill your stomach, they have no nutritional value, is there anything else?"

Kamo no Tadashi shook his head blankly.

Uchiha Sasuke fell silent for a moment, then turned to look at the hole that was only slightly ajar.

After hesitating for a moment, Sasuke Uchiha gave up the idea of ​​going hunting.

And so, three days passed in a row.

Uchiha Sasuke has a large amount of blood drained from his body every day.

Sasuke Uchiha looks a bit chubby now, but it's not because he's actually gained weight; it's just because of edema.

In addition, he was afraid that if he fell asleep, Kamo no Tadayuki would break free from the illusion.

Uchiha Sasuke has been forcing himself to stay awake for the past three days.

No, it should be said that he hasn't slept a wink since discovering Boruto's disappearance that night.

Right now, Sasuke Uchiha feels completely weak, even struggling to lift his hand, and everything he sees appears blurry and indistinct.

early morning.

Sunlight streamed in through the cracks in the cave entrance, falling directly on Uchiha Sasuke's face.

"Another day has finally passed..."

Uchiha Sasuke murmured, his lips trembling.

Kamo no Tadayuki's silhouette appeared in the blurry vision.

Then, Kamo no Tadashi walked up to Uchiha Sasuke, squatted down, and inserted a syringe into Uchiha Sasuke's forehead.

Since noon yesterday, it has become very difficult to draw blood from Uchiha Sasuke's arm, so they had to switch to drawing blood from between his eyebrows.

Time slips away bit by bit.

Uchiha Sasuke felt his body getting colder and colder, and he even started seeing double.

After an unknown amount of time, Uchiha Sasuke licked his dry, pale lips and weakly said:

"Why did it take you so long to smoke today...?"

A gentle, magnetic voice sounded in my ear.

"Your blood is basically just bloody water; only a larger dose will work."

Should we stop treatment?

Sasuke Uchiha shakily raised his hand and waved it with difficulty, saying, "No... keep drawing..."

Finally, just as Uchiha Sasuke felt he was about to reach his limit, the syringe was removed.

The golden sunlight bathed Uchiha Sasuke, who was leaning against the mountain wall.

But Sasuke Uchiha still felt ice-cold all over his body, and forced himself to move closer to the fire.

"Uh......"

Suddenly, a soft murmur echoed from inside the cave.

Uchiha Sasuke opened his eyes and turned to look.

Boruto, who had been unconscious, lay there shaking his head and talking in his sleep.

"Grandpa... is what you're saying true...?"

Sasuke Uchiha blinked hard to make sure he wasn't hallucinating.

He immediately braced himself against the stone wall, struggled to his feet, and staggered toward Boruto, saying in disbelief:

"Boruto...you're awake..."

A moment later, Boruto's eyelids trembled violently, and he finally slowly opened his eyes, looking at Uchiha Sasuke in front of him with a dazed expression:

"You are... Mr. Sasuke... You've gained weight..."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked around weakly, saying:

"Where's Grandpa Tunan...? Why isn't he answering me...?"

Sasuke Uchiha took a few breaths, then, remembering that Boruto was not yet fully recovered, he decided not to tell him about Tonan Uchiha's true identity in order not to interfere with the treatment.

He immediately knelt down, placed his hand on Boruto's shoulder to stop Boruto from struggling to get up, and said in a deep voice:

"You had a nightmare..."

"You're having some health issues...you need to rest..."

Upon hearing this, Boruto covered his head with his hand, shook his head, and said in confusion:

"When I woke up earlier, I clearly heard Grandpa Tu Nan's voice."

He was apologizing to me, saying that my poison needed to be cured immediately.

Let me answer him loudly, and he will find me.

But why hasn't he shown up yet?

Uchiha Sasuke assumed that Boruto couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality, and said with a faint smile, "You've been unconscious the whole time; you haven't woken up at all."

Upon hearing this, Boruto doubted himself and said, "Really? But I clearly remember waking up once."

It was in this cave, and you weren't there yet.

Sasuke Uchiha gave a weak smile and gently shook his head.

"I've always been here, except for that day when I went out to give you something..."

The cave fell into a deathly silence.

Boruto, seeing Sasuke Uchiha suddenly space out halfway through his sentence, looked puzzled and asked:

"Sasuke-san... what's wrong... and... you look so tired..."

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes widened, his pupils trembling incessantly.

As time passed, Sasuke Uchiha's body began to tremble violently.

Just then, a gentle, magnetic voice rang in the ears of both Uchiha Sasuke and Boruto.

"When prey finds itself in a desperate situation, it will instinctively feel fear."

Boruto's face lit up with joy. "It's Grandpa's voice!"

Immediately afterwards, steady footsteps could be heard on the mountain path outside the cave.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

The footsteps grew closer, and Sasuke Uchiha's body trembled more and more violently.

Finally, the light inside the cave dimmed, and the footsteps stopped at the cave entrance.

Uchiha Sasuke, whose body was already drenched in cold sweat, struggled to turn his head and look over.

Through the crack at the cave entrance, Uchiha Tonan's head blocked the sunlight from entering, his blood-red eyes fixed on the two people inside, and he said slowly:

"I'm sorry, but I saw how hard you were trying to save Boruto, so I didn't want to bother you."

“I…” Sasuke Uchiha gritted his teeth and stretched out his right hand as hard as he could, trying to grab the Kusanagi sword that was placed in the corner.

However, Sasuke Uchiha was completely powerless, especially in this life-or-death situation, his body's instinctive fear had severely impaired his ability to move.

Even though the Kusanagi sword was within reach, something he could simply reach out and grab, it was still incredibly difficult for Uchiha Sasuke at that moment.

"Oh!"

The large rock blocking the cave entrance instantly crumbled into sand and gravel. Uchiha Tonan emerged from the dust and came to Uchiha Sasuke's side.
