Uchiha Itachi was unconscious on the path beside the forest.
Senju Chakan was chattering incessantly, circling around Naraku, seemingly carefree and just overly excited.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke, however, was thinking more deeply.
He stared at Uchiha Naraku with a face full of disbelief.
It made sense; just seconds ago, he'd been about to have his disciple buried.
And now, his disciple was coming to heal him? Who could have predicted this?
What was wrong with the world? Was he going crazy, or was the world going crazy?
"Naraku, my injuries aren't important. What exactly happened just now? How did you...? Could it be... you know the technique of [Creation Rebirth]?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke had actually obtained all of Uchiha Naraku's information from the Third Hokage a long time ago.
Naturally, he also knew that this little girl had an extremely terrifying medical talent and also possessed self-healing abilities.
However, the self-healing ability of ordinary ninjas is very limited. Being able to heal the spots where they were about to be injured beforehand, greatly reducing the damage, was something only the elite of the elite could do.
(PS: Such as Yakushi Kabuto.)
In that situation just now, the only technique Sarutobi Shinnosuke could think of that could have saved her, other than Tsunade-sama's Creation Rebirth, was nothing else.
"Teacher... I don't understand anything about Creation Rebirth... I also didn't know why just now, but that's what happened."
Naraku could only play dumb, after all, she couldn't explain the Water Dragon Soul.
Naraku could only roughly explain the events that had just happened. Regarding the White Zetsu and her Water Dragon Soul, Naraku could only pretend to know nothing about it.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke was silent for a moment. It seemed his disciple really did have a lot of mysteries surrounding her.
But no matter what, as long as she was alright, that was all that mattered.
"Naraku, Chakan, come here. Don't mention this to anyone else. Naraku, remember, you likely have Senju blood in you,"
"You must keep this a secret. Don't mention your self-healing ability in front of others, understood?"
Uchiha Naraku looked at Sarutobi Shinnosuke, feeling touched. She hadn't expected Teacher Shinnosuke to be so considerate of her.
"I understand, Teacher!"
"Don't worry, Teacher. Chakan's the most tight-lipped."
Hatake Kakashi sped through the forest, when suddenly his Sharingan caught sight of the scene outside.
He immediately hid behind a large tree and peeked forward.
(That's...? Green Sprout-sama. What a coincidence, I didn't expect to see someone I knew in a foreign land. Eh? Isn't that Uchiha Naraku?)
Kakashi chuckled.
It seemed Uchiha Naraku had really left a deep impression on Kakashi back when they were in the Academy.
(Never mind, I still have a mission to complete. I won't go out to meet Green Sprout-sama. I'll pay a visit after I return to Konoha after the mission.)
Thinking this, Kakashi wanted to bypass the group and leave.
However, at that very moment, he suddenly saw Uchiha Naraku step forward and squat beside Shinnosuke's leg, forming a hand seal.
Then, green light bloomed from Uchiha Naraku's hands.
Seeing this, Hatake Kakashi instantly thought of what had happened in the Konoha forest a few months prior.
Could it be a coincidence? Could Naraku be the Uchiha with incredibly strong Fire Release healing abilities? No, the ages don't match. What's going on?
Kakashi was a bit agitated. He immediately closed his right eye, using his Sharingan to closely observe Naraku's movements.
Sure enough, when Naraku's hand touched Sarutobi Shinnosuke's leg wound, it healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It's alright, Sensei, you're fine now!"
Seeing the smile on Naraku's face, Kakashi was stunned, the scene gradually overlapping with his memories.
"Rin!"
Hatake Kakashi immediately stepped out from behind the tree.
He had to go forward and ask for clarification, as for the mission…
What was the rush? A few minutes wouldn't hurt.
"Who! Come out!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke instantly sensed a gaze watching from the forest.
"Green Sprout-sama, it's me."
Hatake Kakashi calmly walked out of the forest.
"Ah… Kakashi? What are you doing here? Hahaha, what a coincidence…"
Hatake Kakashi didn't even bother with his old superior's greetings. He walked directly to Naraku and asked impatiently:
"Who... who exactly are you? Are you Uchiha Naraku, or Murakami Chie?"
"Murakami Chie? Who's that?"
Naraku looked bewildered. What's wrong with Kakashi-dono? Could he even mistake someone?
Eh? Murakami Chie? This name sounded familiar, like she had heard it somewhere before?
Kakashi carefully observed Naraku's expression, but couldn't see any flaws.
What exactly was going on?
Although Kakashi still didn't understand, he was sure that even if Naraku wasn't the girl who treated him, she must have some connection to her.
Great, she was finally about to find her.
[Congratulations to the host, your favorability with Hatake Kakashi has increased, you have obtained 30 currency.]
Uchiha Naraku: ???
The sun set in the west, and quickly rose again in the east.
A new day began. In a certain hotel in the Land of Hot Water, Uchiha Naraku was woken up by a series of urgent knocks.
She, wearing only her underwear, sat up rubbing her eyes?
Who was it? Couldn't they let her sleep? Knocking on the door so early in the morning.
Uchiha Naraku listlessly got dressed and opened the door, swaying slightly.
Senju Chakan was outside, supporting Uchiha Itachi, who could barely stand.
"Naraku, this isn't my fault. It's this guy. No matter what I said, he wouldn't believe me. He insisted on coming over first thing this morning to confirm..."
Before Senju Chakan could finish complaining, Uchiha Itachi broke free from Chakan's support and embraced Uchiha Naraku.
[Congratulations, Host, your favorability with Uchiha Itachi has increased, gaining 120 currency.]
"Great! Naraku! This isn't a dream, it's not a dream! You're really alive!"
Uchiha Naraku felt like Itachi was suffocating her.
"Ah! Damn it, you're using me! You bastard, let go of Naraku! Let go of Naraku!"
Senju Chakan was exasperated, constantly tugging at Itachi, but it was useless.
Uchiha Itachi was stuck to Naraku as if glued, no matter how much he was pulled.
As for Naraku, she stood there, completely bewildered.
What the hell was going on? What did Itachi want? Was he going to confess to her?
If he dared to say anything ridiculous, she would definitely cripple him.
Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you paid 120 currency, hey!
