Chapter 65 Fugaku's Ambition
Chapter 65 Fugaku's Ambition
Unsure, Shingetsu Seiun took out the areca nut pills from the other person's ninja tool bag, crushed them, mixed them into a water bag, shook it well, and carefully fed them to the other person.
Fortunately, the instinct to swallow is still there.
He fed her some water and ration pills, and seeing that Uchiha Mikoto's complexion had improved somewhat, he dragged her to a secluded spot, cleaned up the scene, put on the 'Shadowbringer' title from his backpack, and then quietly waited for rescue. His location wasn't far from the battlefield; he would be able to spot reinforcements as soon as they arrived.
Time passed second by second.
The night grew deeper.
The temperature is getting lower and lower.
Unable to start a fire, Shingetsu Seiun covered Uchiha Mikoto with his genin coat.
As the night wore on, even the Divine Moon Nebula could not withstand the biting chill.
cold.
His gaze lingered on his genin's coat. Indeed, some things are only valued when they're lost.
Or should we go back and strip off the coats of the few dead Iwagakure members?
Forget it.
The smell of blood was too strong, and he also found it somewhat nauseating.
He took out his ninja tool pouch and began searching for bandages.
He rolled up one bandage here, and Uchiha Mikoto rolled up another there. By unwrapping the bandages and wrapping them around his body, he could stay much warmer.
Just as he was pondering whether or not to search the ninja tool bags of those dead people, he suddenly stopped.
Then, he looked at his ninja tool bag.
At the bottom, there was a neatly folded and compacted green fabric, which was inconspicuous.
Shenyue Xingyun's eyes lit up instantly!
With a hint of disbelief, he took out the green fabric he had almost forgotten about.
With the restraints gone, he gave a gentle shake, and the fabric fluttered in the wind, transforming into a bodysuit. Its incredibly elastic texture felt blissful to the touch.
I couldn't wait to put on the bodysuit, feeling the rate at which heat dissipated suddenly decrease, and the warm feeling gradually returned to my body.
Shenyue Xingyun squinted her eyes contentedly.
"Kai".
"You've finally done something worthwhile."
……
In her dazed state, Uchiha Mikoto felt waves of turbulence.
He opened his eyelids a crack, as if Shenyue Xingyun was carrying him on his back.
When I opened my eyes again, it didn't seem like it.
Is it a dream...?
My strength gradually returned to my body, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw white walls and a clean bed.
The medical ninja adjusted the IV drip rate, then left with the tray.
The eyeballs slowly moved.
Kurenai and Asuma, looking concerned, came into view.
"Mikoto-sensei, you're finally awake!" Kurenai Yuhi said with a sigh of relief.
Asuma followed up, "Mikoto-sensei, how are you feeling? You've been unconscious for a whole day."
"So he's still alive." The thought flashed through my mind as I looked around.
"I'm fine now, how are you guys?"
Sarutobi Asuma said, "Kuu and I are both fine."
"After Nebula rescued us, Kurenai and I didn't dare delay for a moment and rushed back to Konoha to find the Hokage. In the end, it was Minato-sama who came to pick you up."
Uchiha Mikoto said, "Minato, ya..."
Looks like I should thank Kushina.
"Where...where is the nebula?"
Kurenai Yuhi said, "After Nebula finished talking with the medical staff, she went out."
Sarutobi Asuma casually remarked, "He's probably out on a date with some girlfriend."
Kurenai glared at him immediately.
Sarutobi Asuma looked a little aggrieved: "Did I say something wrong again?"
He was really just guessing casually.
Kurenai continued, "By the way, teacher, how did you escape? I heard the scene was horrific."
Mikoto Uchiha's eyes were filled with confusion.
She fainted at the time and didn't know what was going on.
"What did Nebula say?"
"Nebula said he brought a lot of explosive tags, and used them all to blow up the barrier and escape."
"Explosive tags... I think I heard an explosion."
As they were talking, the door opened. A tall man walked into the room.
With a dignified, square face and wearing a ninja outfit with a fan pattern, he was none other than Fugaku Uchiha, the current head of the Uchiha clan.
"They're all here." A smile appeared on Fugaku Uchiha's upright face.
"You guys are very thoughtful."
"Mikoto is very lucky to be the Jonin leading you guys."
Praised by the Uchiha clan leader, Sarutobi Asuma was secretly pleased with himself.
"No, we caused Ms. Misaka a lot of trouble."
"If it weren't for Misaka-sensei back then..."
The voice was interrupted by a nurse who suddenly burst in: "The patient needs to rest; there shouldn't be so many people in the ward!"
"Alright, that's enough for now. You can go back now; your families must be worried," Fugaku Uchiha said with a smile.
"Okay, Ms. Misaka, we're off then."
Leaving Fugaku and his wife behind, the three of them left the ward.
Throughout the entire process, Uchiha Mikoto kept her eyes lowered.
Once only the two of them remained in the ward, Fugaku Uchiha's kind smile faded.
Mikoto Uchiha remained silent, looking utterly exhausted.
There was silence for a moment.
After a long pause, Fugaku Uchiha spoke up: "The medical team said he's fine, just overexerted and severely dehydrated."
"Um."
"The one who left early was called Shingetsu Nebula, right?"
"The child from the Shingetsu family who mastered the Palm Healing Technique before even graduating."
Mikoto Uchiha felt a tightness in her chest.
But then the other person continued.
"That child is very good."
With a heavy heart, Uchiha Mikoto looked at the other person with a puzzled expression.
Fugaku Uchiha said seriously, "Asuma said you were seriously injured before, but the medical team just said that apart from a lot of blood loss and dehydration, there are no other problems."
"If the injuries are real, then it's because a medical ninja used the Healing Palm Technique with all their might that you've been able to hold on until now."
"Moreover, the treatment was very meticulous, leaving no external or internal injuries untreated. Even medical ninjas would find it difficult to do this in dangerous situations."
Mikoto Uchiha felt a little relieved.
However, seeing the serious expression on the other person's face, she felt a mix of emotions.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Fugaku Uchiha's expression became more serious.
"Mikoto, you need to pay more attention to this child from now on."
"The fact that this child risked his life to save you speaks volumes about his character. Besides, he's quite talented."
"At this age, it's extremely rare to have mastered the Palm Immortal Technique to this extent."
"With him in the Shingetsu family, their future may not necessarily be worse than that of the Yuhi family."
"Even if it's just for the Uchiha, you have to take this seriously. From now on, you can't just take care of Kurenai and Asuma. You also need to put your heart into Shingetsu Seiun."
Mikoto Uchiha: "...Okay, I understand."
Fugaku Uchiha was finally satisfied.
"That's good."
"Later, I will apply to the Hokage to try to get more Jonin from our clan to become team-leading Jonin."
"Strengthen connections with the various families in the village."
"If things develop properly, perhaps the Uchiha's situation in the village will improve significantly in the near future."
As he spoke, anticipation and ambition gleamed in Fugaku Uchiha's eyes.
"In that case, the internal conflicts within the clan wouldn't be as difficult to resolve as they are now."
"Even... it's not impossible to win the Hokage position."
