From this day forward, she is no longer the Scorching Release: Leaf Village of Sunagakure.

She is just herself.

"Hiss!~" The sensation from her back abruptly interrupted Yekura's train of thought.

Seeing this, Shenyue Xingyun said with displeasure, "What's with the hissing?"

"I'm treating your injuries."

Yecang gritted his teeth.

Yes, you are indeed receiving treatment for your injuries.

The sensation coming from my back makes it impossible for me to calm down!

Shingetsu Seiun also realized that his actions would make Yekura feel something, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Ye Cang's injury is to his internal organs, and if left untreated, he will likely suffer serious consequences... For his Palm Immortal Technique to be effective, he must get close to the target.

Besides, she's his girlfriend, and the system has verified her. This kind of contact isn't against the rules at all.

A soft glow shone from between his palms as the chakra of the Palm Healing Technique continuously penetrated into Yekura's body, slowly healing his injuries.

The healing speed is acceptable; the only problem is that Yekura is not very cooperative.

When Shingetsu Nebula used the Palm Immortal Technique, Yekura's body kept twisting and turning.

As the bruises gradually disappeared under Shenyue Xingyun's treatment, this twisting motion was also challenging Shenyue Xingyun's unstable Dao heart step by step.

"Slap~" Shen Yue Xingyun lightly slapped Ye Cang and said irritably, "Don't move."

"Behave yourself!"

Yekura didn't want to move either.

But her body seemed to disobey her, and as Shenyue Xingyun patted her back, all the muscles in her body suddenly stiffened.

Three seconds later, she felt cold again.

Shenyue Xingyun: "..."

The air fell silent. After a moment, Yekura made a sound from under the pillow.

"Is it... all done?"

Shenyue Xingyun sensed it again and found that the injuries to his internal organs had basically healed. After resting for a couple more days, he would be fully recovered.

He said, "Alright."

Yecang slowly turned over.

The scenery behind him disappeared from his sight, and Yekura lay on the tatami mat, looking at Shingetsu Seiun.

Perhaps it was the candlelight that was too gentle, or perhaps it was just his eyes playing tricks on him, but he always felt that Yekura's gaze was like it was filled with water.

Their eyes met, and the temperature in the air began to rise.

After a while, Shenyue Xingyun felt her heart beating faster than usual.

Even if he were slow to understand, he would know what Ye Cang meant by staring at him with such a gaze.

He began to approach.

One foot → Half a foot → A quarter foot

Shameless.

"Wait...wait a minute." Ye Cang suddenly spoke up.

Shenyue Xingyun: "What's wrong?"

Ye Cang blushed: "I...I haven't gone to wash yet."

The Divine Moon Nebula drew closer, releasing a healthy, refreshing scent.

His voice was a little hoarse.

"no need."

"I think it's great."

Yecang looked up in astonishment.

What met her beautiful eyes was a shadow looming over her.

……

For a fleeting moment, Shenyue Xingyun wondered if she had been too hasty.

Perhaps... if we postpone many things, the system might issue a task. Then he'll not only get meat to eat, but also a reward.

But the idea only lingered in his mind for a second before he dismissed it.

He is a human being, not a machine that performs tasks.

If every good thing in life has to be linked to a reward, he feels he will gradually lose himself.

As for the system's rewards, he is already quite satisfied with what he has.

Inside the room, the rate at which oxygen was being consumed began to increase.

……

Northwest Front.

Outside the camp, on a small hill, Obito Uchiha sat huddled up, cowering in fear.

The evening breeze was a bit chilly, but his heart was even colder.

He has been sitting here for two hours, but no one has come to care about him.

The war was over, and the entire camp was immersed in a joyful atmosphere. People were free to move around the camp, some gathered together for a meal, and others sang and danced around the campfire.

He, however, was left to savor his sorrow alone.

"What are you doing here?" A voice suddenly came from behind. Obito Uchiha turned around and saw Kakashi Hatake.

A sense of comfort settled in my heart.

"Nothing much, just sit here for a while."

"Did Lin send you here?"

Kakashi Hatake said, "No, I just came out to use the restroom."

"Lin is still knitting a scarf. He said it's getting cold, so he's knitting a thicker scarf for Shenyue Xingyun."

Obito Uchiha felt a pang in his heart.

He shouldn't have asked!

Kakashi Hatake came and went without a second thought.

Once again, Obito Uchiha was left alone. He stared blankly at the night sky, pondering his future.

Where does my future lie?

Striving to become Hokage?

The innocent dreams I had when I was in school seem to have faded after many battles.

Moreover... the person he imagined sharing happiness with has already left him and found their own happiness. Can he still make it to the other side of the road?

Sometimes, people live simply for hope in desperate situations, or for the desires found in the ordinary.

Uchiha's original desire was to become Hokage and gain everyone's recognition. It was also to be with Rin Nohara and live a happy life.

But what do I crave now?

"Do you crave power?" A voice suddenly rang out from the shadows.

Obito Uchiha initially thought it was Kakashi Hatake causing trouble again and intended to ignore it.

But the voice repeated the same sentence again.

Do you crave power?

Obito Uchiha's pupils contracted instantly! He heard it clearly; the voice wasn't coming from behind him, but from in front.

Under the cover of night, the shadowy figure seemed to blend into the darkness. If the other party hadn't moved and made a sound, he wouldn't have even noticed its presence.

"Who are you?!" Obito Uchiha suddenly stood up!

"Calm down! Calm down~" The shadowy figure spread his hands out, signaling to Obito Uchiha not to react too violently.

Under the latter's tense gaze, he said slowly, "Who I am is not important."

"You can treat me as a friend who's just passing through. Don't worry, I mean no harm."

Obito Uchiha sneered, "Playing tricks!"

A red light shone in his eyes, and three tomoe (magatama) began to appear and rotate.

Chapter 243 Obito: As long as you're happy

He recognized the 'person': a pure black, humanoid shadow. There was a fluctuation of chakra, but this chakra felt extremely unfamiliar to him.

"Obito, I really didn't mean any harm."

"Your Sharingan is too conspicuous. If you don't turn it off, then... the door to success will also close to you."

"Nohara Rinya will never belong to you."

Obito's gaze froze for a moment.

"Turn off your Sharingan, or... I'll leave."

As the shadowy figure repeated itself, Obito Uchiha hesitated for a moment before concealing the red light in his eyes.

“That’s right.” The shadowy figure grinned, seemingly smiling.

Obito Uchiha: "Before you speak, shouldn't you let me know who you are first?"

The shadowy figure said, "Names don't matter."

"If you really want to know my name, you can call me... Jue."
