[Congratulations, host, on achieving the achievement: Unique Bicycle (Puppet) Chiyo.]

【请选择任务奖励:1、强效解毒剂*1;2、强效镇定剂*2;3、强效安眠药*3】

When the system notification sounded, Shenyue Xingyun had already led Ye Cang to a secluded spot to rest.

After seeing the prompt on the panel, his cheek twitched.

'System, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with me.'

[Detected that the bound character, Yekura, is inspired by the host's actions.]

[This achievement will incur additional bonus rewards.]

Shenyue Xingyun: "..."

What does it mean to be inspired by my methods?

'This was clearly Yekura's own idea. System, don't slander me out of thin air!'

Of course, that's what they say, but you can still claim the system's rewards.

[Poison bomb: A conventional poison bomb with a coverage area of ​​ten kilometers]

[I love a piece of firewood: As the title suggests]

[Joyful Powder: Those who are hit are like those who have been electrocuted with Joy Beans, dehydrated for half an hour.]

[A potent antidote: An antidote capable of curing the vast majority of toxins in the ninja world.]

[A powerful tranquilizer: brings peace of mind.]

[Powerful sleeping pills: One pill is all it takes, you'll fall asleep instantly.]

After learning about the contents of all six rewards, Shenyue Xingyun chose the poison bomb and the potent antidote.

After putting the reward into his backpack, Shenyue Xingyun looked at Yecang beside him.

"How are you? Shall I heal your wounds first?"

"No need for now." Yekura shook his head: "This place is still too close to Sunagakure."

"Let's go a little further; my injury can still hold."

Shenyue Xingyun thought for a moment and said, "I'll carry you on my back first."

Yekura did not refuse.

Carrying Ye Cang on his back, Shen Yue Xingyun tried to keep his movements steady. As he traveled, he said, "Are you venting your anger now?"

Thinking of Chiyo's unpleasant expression just now, Yekura's lips curled into a smile: "Not bad."

Shenyue Xingyun: "Now that you've calmed down, do as you promised and come back with me in a while."

Ye Cang made a soft "hmm~", it was unclear whether she meant she heard it or agreed.

Looking down at Shenyue Xingyun, who was carrying her on her back, Yecang tightened her arms around him and remained silent.

……

As Shingetsu Seiun carried Yekura on his back, a ripple suddenly appeared in an open space outside Sunagakure.

As the ground twisted, a figure slowly emerged from it.

The figure, panting, fell to one side upon returning to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood with a "whoosh."

It was Kakuzu.

After vomiting a large amount of blood, Kakuzu raised his head and looked in the direction of Sunagakure.

His face was pale, and his eyes couldn't hide the fear.

"terrible."

"I almost died."

The lightning release he had just witnessed was the most terrifying lightning release he had ever seen in his life.

He never expected that a ninja who was supposed to be there to meet Yekura would be able to unleash such terrifying lightning release.

The moment the lightning release was formed, he knew he couldn't withstand it!

In a critical moment, he separated his own heart.

The Earth Release Heart, carrying the Lightning Release Heart, burrowed into the ground at top speed; as for the other hearts, it was too late.

His decisive action saved his life.

The lightning struck him, and its power was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

The powerful elemental energy destroyed his three hearts in the blink of an eye.

Only the two hearts that had burrowed underground beforehand escaped unscathed. Even so, apart from the lightning-attribute heart, which was largely unaffected due to their shared origin, even the earth-attribute heart suffered considerable damage.

"This mission was a huge loss!" Kakuzu thought bitterly.

Even if you include the mission reward, it's not enough to make up for the loss of three hearts! What's more, since the mission wasn't completed, he won't receive the reward!

So, on this trip, not only did I not make any money, I also lost my principal!

Kakuzu was so heartbroken that even breathing became difficult.

After a while, the pain in my heart finally lessened from nine parts to eight parts.

He began to think about how to make up for the losses.

The war is about to end, and the villages have suffered heavy losses, resulting in a significant reduction in funding for the mission.

There are very few valuable tasks.

As for the lowly tasks that don't pay much, it's not that he doesn't want to do them, but rather that there are too many people and not enough opportunities.

Compared to his losses, how long would it take to recoup the cost of such a small task? So it's still better to do more challenging tasks.

"By the way, it seems that Sunagakure still has some bounties on Konoha."

"Shisui is dead, but Minato Namikaze is hard to kill."

"There's also a Leaf Village Demon Star who's skilled in swordsmanship and Fire Release." Kakuzu's eyes darted around. "If all else fails, let's find a way to take him out."

"Killing him would also bring in a considerable amount of money."

The more he thought about it, the more reliable it seemed. Kakuzu's eyes grew brighter and his interest increased. If it weren't for his severe injuries requiring energy replenishment, he would have wanted to set off on the mission immediately.

"Never mind, let's focus on getting better first."

"The Leaf Village Demon Star... I will come back to take your life after some time."

……

into the night.

A small town located on the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire.

At the best hot spring in town, Shingetsu Seiun and Yekura requested the cleanest room.

After a simple meal provided by the shop, Shingetsu Seiun prepared to treat Yekura's injuries.

Lying on the tatami mat, bathed in the warm candlelight of the shop, Yekura suddenly felt a little nervous for some reason.

'Don't be nervous, don't be nervous.'

'Ye Cang, aren't you nervous?'

"It's just healing an injury, why are you so worried?"

"Are you shivering? Are you cold?" Shen Yuexingyun's voice rang out from the side, startling Ye Cang.

"Ah...ah! Yes."

"It's a bit cold, can you give me a blanket?"

Shingetsu Seiun brought a blanket and covered Yekura's lower body with it.

As for the upper body, it was the injured area.

"Look at you, always showing your back, and now you're suddenly feeling cold."

"Turn around and lie down."

Yekura: "..."

Chapter 242 A Natural Success

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Cang obediently turned around.

Her internal organs were injured by the explosive tag, so if she wasn't treated from the back but from the front... well, forget it.

It's better to treat it from the back.

Lie down quietly and look at Yecang's back.

Her once fair back now showed faint bluish-purple patches.

He made a slight movement, using his chakra to sense the internal situation.

"Multiple internal tissue injuries, accompanied by bleeding."

"How could you... how could you be so careless?"

Yekura whispered, "I want to go home and get my things."

"I never expected that Chiyo, that heartless old woman, would actually plant explosive tags in my house."

Shenyue Xingyun: "Have you gotten everything?"

Ye Cang was silent for a moment, then said, "No."

"But it's all good, a fire can burn it all down."

"From this day forward, I have no further connection with Sunagakure."

The house contained many old belongings and photos—memories of her time in Sunagakure, her past. Now, all of that had been reduced to ashes by Chiyo's explosive tags.
