Chapter 192: Dark Medical Ninjutsu
This…
Just moments ago, Shion had been thinking that Uchiha Hikari didn't look like a villain.
But now, Hikari's face was expressionless as she brutally and mercilessly tortured and killed three enemies, even releasing black flames that clearly didn't look like something a righteous character would use.
Hikari noticed the change in Shion's gaze toward her.
Normally, Hikari wouldn't care what Shion thought of her.
But still, in order to make Shiromo's mission go more smoothly this time, and also to train her own "favorability grinding" skills, Hikari once again activated her Mangekyō.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique."
"Kagutsuchi."
Kagutsuchi couldn't directly control ordinary Fire Release, but by mixing normal flames into Amaterasu, it could be controlled.
So Hikari used Phoenix Sage Fire on the three people.
Countless small fireballs fell onto them.
These fireballs didn't cause damage.
Because the benevolent flames of Amaterasu had now become their armor, blocking the harm.
The fireballs merged into the Amaterasu, and under Kagutsuchi's control, Amaterasu didn't devour them.
Then, the three were lifted into the air, wrapped in Amaterasu.
Bang.
One after another, they turned into three fireworks, exploding apart.
The compressed Phoenix Sage Fire flames inside the Amaterasu spread out into blossoming flower patterns.
"Wow?"
Shion stared wide-eyed at the beautiful fireworks in the sky.
In the backward Land of Demons, she'd only ever seen her own mother ascend to heaven, fireworks ascending into the sky was a first.
As for how she had just been feeling a bit soft-hearted, but now immediately ignored the "flesh fireworks" of those people and started enjoying the display instead, there was no need to dwell on that.
Shion was still a child, mentally very much a kid.
There were no elders around to pressure her anymore, they were gone.
No one above her in status to pressure her either.
Studying hard? Not needed.
The destiny of sealing Mōryō was inherited purely through bloodline.
Which meant she basically didn't have to do anything at all.
The only torment she had ever experienced was foreseeing other people's deaths.
But that suffering hadn't lasted very long.
She hadn't yet turned into the classic movie female lead who's cold on the outside and soft on the inside.
She was still in a childlike mindset.
And children are like this.
One moment they cry and scream for everyone not to kill little animals, and the next moment they're happily stuffing themselves with KFC.
This story teaches us one thing.
Your moves must look cool.
Shiromo and the others arrived in front of the great door sealing Mōryō.
The door was plastered with talismans.
Anyone who didn't know better would think there were one hundred and eight disaster stars sealed inside.
"So what now?"
Hikari flicked her eyes, and Amaterasu instantly burned away all the talismans on the door.
Amaterasu's damage efficiency was actually extremely high.
Earlier, when it burned those three people for a while, Hikari had deliberately restrained her ocular power.
When Itachi burned the incredibly tough toad stomach, it was instant.
When he burned Sasuke's "chicken wings," it took quite a while.
At the Valley of the End, when Sasuke burned Naruto, Naruto just shed the tailed-beast cloak and it was gone.
Sasuke then burned Naruto's Rasenshuriken, which was intended to kill him, in mid-air.
"My lords!"
Thud.
A figure leaped down from above, landing behind Shiromo and the others, then slid forward and dropped to his knees.
This person was the leader of those attackers just now, the movie's villain, Yomi.
In the original story, Yomi was already pretty ridiculous.
Mōryō had been sealed for so long, yet he never once thought of helping to unseal it in advance.
When the plot finally reached its time, he ran to the sealing site and said, "I observed the stars last night. Now is the perfect time to unseal it."
Incredible, came with built-in astrology skills.
Anyway, when Yomi saw Shiromo and the others arrive with the shrine maiden, he assumed they were enemies and sent three subordinates to attack.
The three got instantly killed.
Yomi didn't dare show himself and hid while observing in secret.
When he saw Hikari burn away the talismans with Amaterasu, he realized these people also wanted to unseal Mōryō.
Weren't they allies then?
So he came out.
"My lords, my dark medical ninjutsu can carry Mōryō-sama away. Please allow me to do it!"
Yomi didn't know where these allies came from, but he had only one goal, to free Mōryō, let Mōryō possess him, and achieve his objective.
Yomi's appearance made Shion hide fearfully behind Shiromo.
"Let him do it?"
Hikari looked to Shiromo for confirmation.
"Let him. He's kindly volunteered, how could we disappoint someone's good intentions?"
Shiromo smiled faintly.
The group stepped back a few paces, letting Yomi stand in front of the door.
"..."
Yomi was stunned.
He had been brewing all kinds of speeches in his head.
Swearing loyalty, fabricating a tragic past, all just to gain their trust and get permission to free Mōryō.
And they just agreed?
Were these people all airheads?
Just now, when facing his three men who seemed like enemies, they killed them instantly.
Now facing him, who looked friendly, they directly treated him as an ally?
Then, he'd go for it?
Yomi was thrilled inside while forcing himself to stay calm on the surface, beginning to communicate with the sealed Mōryō.
Finally, he took out a pair of surgical knives, cut open his own body, let Mōryō enter, and then quickly stitched himself up.
"So this is dark medical ninjutsu? Where's the dark part?"
Tsunade, as a medical ninja, couldn't help complaining as she watched.
Isn't this just normal surgery and suturing?
Just because you stuffed a Mōryō inside during the process, does that automatically make it 'dark' medical ninjutsu?
"Hehehe… hahahahaha!"
After completing Mōryō's implantation, Yomi let out his trademark villainous laughter.
Smack.
Shiromo slapped him across the face.
"What the hell are you laughing for? Hurry up and move!"
"..."
"My lords, since you serve Mōryō-sama, why not first eliminate its greatest threat, the shrine maiden?"
Yomi rubbed his face and grinned sinisterly at them.
His gaze finally landed on Shion behind Shiromo.
"Sigh, what a hassle."
Shiromo turned around and covered Shion's eyes.
Kurotsuchi used Earth Release to condense a stone blade and tossed it to Hikari.
Hikari used Kagutsuchi to coat the blade in Amaterasu, then with several swings chopped off Yomi's limbs, turning him into a living stump.
Tsunade stepped forward, used medical ninjutsu to stop the bleeding at the severed limbs, opened an empty travel bag, and tossed him inside.
Zip.
Done in one smooth sequence.
"Now this is what you call dark medical ninjutsu. Dark enough for you? Hmm?"
Tsunade closed the suitcase and stomped on it.
Yeah, that was indeed insanely dark.
Inside the suitcase, the human-stump Yomi was completely dumbfounded.
What kind of lunatics were these people?
How did things suddenly escalate into chopping him into a stump?
At least let him use some of Mōryō's power first!
Kurotsuchi once again used Earth Release, wrapping the suitcase into a sphere.
To prevent this guy from trying anything even without his limbs.
Yep, a youth-edition Chibaku Tensei.
