Chapter 193: The Unlucky Girl And The Double Tomoe
Yoru ran through the mountainous terrain and woods without sparing his stamina.
This time leaving the camp couldn’t take too long, or else Kiiroinu and headquarters would suspect him.
He arrived at a location 20 kilometers southeast of Kyoto, Land of Whirlpools.
Yoru quickly found a cave, and he formed hand seals with both hands: “Summoning Jutsu!”
After the white smoke cleared, Stone Panda Hakuji appeared.
Yoru said: “Hakuji, reverse summoning Yuka Uzumaki, I have important business with her.”
Hakuji raised its short, thick, chubby, furry palm upon hearing this.
Those short, thick fingers were unexpectedly nimble, quickly completing the hand seals.
After a burst of white smoke, Yuka Uzumaki responded to the reverse summoning and appeared here.
It was midnight, yet Yuka was alertly dressed in combat gear. It seemed she was always ready for battle even when sleeping, prepared to lead the Uzumaki Clan to continue fleeing.
“Fox?”
Yuka Uzumaki excitedly pounced forward, hanging onto Yoru’s neck.
Yoru removed his mask, leaned down to kiss Yuka’s neck, and said:
“Yuka, unfortunately I’m not here to enjoy tender moments with you.
I obtained some information. Danzo Shimura captured the Daimyo Guardian Ninja of the Land of Whirlpools, possibly imprisoned in the cave below, conducting sealing secret jutsu experiments.
Let’s go rescue them together.”
Yuka Uzumaki looked in surprise at the cave below.
“Guardian Ninja? The Daimyo’s Guardian Ninja is imprisoned here? I… my father is the Daimyo Guardian Ninja of the Land of Whirlpools, is he still alive?”
Yoru was stunned, then said: “Let’s go in and check right now.”
He took out two black masks from his ninja tool bag, signaling Yuka to put one on with him.
The fox mask was a bit too flashy, with not low fame. When truly doing bad things, it was better to use ordinary masks.
The two jumped to the cave entrance.
Yuka glanced around and said: “Fake, the cave entrance has a sealing jutsu barrier, it’s a fake cave.”
She formed hand seals with both hands and slapped the ground.
The cave mouth in front of them distorted with light, suddenly transforming into a wall plastered with exploding tags.
The cave mouth was fake; charging into it rashly would turn them into meat foam.
The real cave mouth was behind the exploding tag wall.
“It’s our Uzumaki Clan’s sealing secret jutsu, this technique is called This Place is Not a Barrier. When I cracked the barrier, I set up another fake one; the people inside probably didn’t notice I replaced the barrier.”
Yoru nodded repeatedly; Yuka’s sealing jutsu was getting stronger.
Yuka formed hand seals again, using summoning jutsu.
After the white smoke cleared, nothing was there.
Until a tongue appeared, Yoru realized it was the invisible lizard.
The two jumped into the invisible lizard’s mouth and together burrowed into the tall cave.
The cave was pitch black at first, but after turning a corner, two ninjas were guarding both sides of the passage.
The two ninjas saw nothing until a lizard’s huge mouth opened in front of them.
The Karma Seal of Retribution crawled along the ground onto their bodies, and the two couldn’t even cry out.
Once swallowed into the invisible lizard’s mouth, the two guards were already dead men.
After continuously passing through multiple defensive lines, they finally saw a large hall.
There were 12 glass incubation tanks in the hall, six on each side, corresponding to 12 Daimyo Guardian Ninjas.
The front six incubation tanks contained only ‘loose’ people.
These six guardian ninjas were dismembered, limbs floating, torsos missing, with internal organs undulating in place of the torsos along with the nutrient solution.
Some still had heads, some heads had already vanished.
The next two incubation tanks each contained a twisted brain floating.
The following two incubation tanks immersed two people.
These two still had life, their breathing creating bubbles that lined up in the nutrient solution, bubbling upward.
On the opposite experiment table were two bodies being dissected.
Yoru grabbed Yuka’s hand; her body was shaking badly.
Between the incubation tanks and experiment table were over ten busy researchers.
Behind the incubation tanks were tall bookshelves with scrolls placed on them, those being the research data obtained by Root.
Yoru split off shadow clones, and each shadow clone left the invisible lizard’s huge mouth.
The shadow clones landed in various places in the hall, instantly releasing the Karma Seal of Retribution.
The over twenty people in the research room were all controlled by Yoru.
He had to use the minimal destruction to rescue any surviving Uzumaki Clan members.
Sealing jutsu was the best method.
Yoru held kunai, shooting kunai one by one at the researchers.
The clanking of adamantine sealing chains rang out as Yuka also struck lethally, stabbing the researchers to death.
In a short time, Yoru and Yuka killed everyone here.
Yoru came beside Yuka and said:
“Yuka, you guard the entrance in case there are other guards in the base; I’ll handle the hall. Once it’s done, you can turn around, okay?”
“Okay… okay…”
The more Yuka Uzumaki hoped her father was alive, the less she could accept such a cruel scene; she turned her back to the hall, watching the entrance.
Not long after, Yuka Uzumaki began to sob softly.
Yoru checked all the incubation tanks; the two intact ones were still alive.
They were merely unconscious, the base’s final backup test subjects, temporarily not in life-threatening danger.
The two on the experiment table: one was already dead, the other had a faint breath.
The living one was missing liver, gallbladder, and stomach internally, barely clinging to half a life with nutrient solution.
Secret jutsu was secret because the chakra circulation meridians were extremely unique, thus requiring dissection of muscles and internal organs to find the chakra circulation paths.
“Daughter… daughter…”
Yoru was stunned; the worst outcome had appeared.
The middle-aged man with half a life left turned his head, looking at Yuka in the distance with eyes both terrified and expectant.
Terrified because he feared this was a hallucination before death.
Expectant because he very much wanted to see his daughter one last time before dying.
Yoru hurriedly covered the middle-aged man’s mutilated body with white cloth, leaving only the head exposed, then body flickered behind Yuka, hugging the trembling Yuka to the experiment table.
Yuka saw the middle-aged man’s face on the experiment table and instantly burst into loud cries.
“Daughter… you’re still alive, that’s great…”
“Daddy! Daddy!”
Yuka Uzumaki glanced at her father’s body, saw the terrifying depression in his chest, and instantly understood.
“Don’t be afraid, Yuka; being able to see you before dying, I have no regrets.” Yuka Uzumaki’s father rallied with a final burst of strength, speaking much faster:
“Four Symbols Seal, adamantine sealing chains, Tongue-Cutting Flower Seal—these most important sealing jutsu, they didn’t obtain them.
Come here, come here, I’ll tell you everything.”
When Yuka Uzumaki fled from the Land of Whirlpools, she obtained the sealing jutsu scroll from the Uzumaki Clan Elder; that scroll recorded some Uzumaki secret jutsu.
After listening to her father’s brief and rapid explanation now, Yuka Uzumaki stayed with her father until he slowly closed his eyes.
Yoru crouched down and hugged Yuka.
This unfortunate girl, this unfortunate ninja clan.
Yuka’s shoulders were very slim and small; the hand gripping her father’s corpse kept shaking.
Yoru’s eyes stung, thinking to himself he wouldn’t cry because of this, would he?
He wasn’t some delicate good person; how could he cry?
But when he opened his eyes again, it was already two tomoe Sharingan.
Yoru had always planned to use the system to upgrade Sharingan from some Uchiha ninja’s hand.
He hadn’t expected that he too would one day have his spirit stimulated.
