Chapter 69: Self-healing Recovery
Just like the last time he chose the Senju Bloodline Limit, Yoru’s cells throughout his body began to tremble.
He slowly sat down, leaning against the tree trunk behind him.
Purple Cat saw Yoru’s arm trembling and came close to ask, “Captain, what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing, just a cramp. Don’t make a fuss; it’ll be fine soon.”
Purple Cat was puzzled. With the Fox Captain’s strength, why would he get a cramp?
Without asking further, Purple Cat stood in front of Yoru.
Yoru discovered a surprise!
The previous normal Senju of the Forest Bloodline Limit had brought him more chakra and a stronger physique.
But the intermediate-advanced Senju of the Forest Bloodline Limit, besides the enhancement in chakra and physique, came with a new ability!
Self-Healing Recovery（Slow）!
Many ninja of the Senju Clan were skilled in medical ninjutsu. Like Hashirama Senju and Tsunade, they could even apply self-healing abilities in battle, increasing fault tolerance and beating others to despair.
Fighting Tsunade at her peak, unless Tsunade’s chakra was exhausted, she absolutely could not die.
As for Hashirama Senju, he even treated Tsunade’s trump card Hundred Healings Jutsu as a standard state.
After the Senju Bloodline Limit purity increased, Yoru also gained some self-healing ability.
When injured, it quickly stopped bleeding, reduced pain, and maintained a certain combat power.
Moreover, the body cells slowly self-recovered on their own. Without a medical ninja, injuries could still heal.
His own chakra amount had even become 7 times special jonin level.

Yoru let out a long breath. The physique enhancement had finally ended.
He swallowed 3 ration pills in a row and stood up.
He clenched his fist and then released it, feeling full of strength throughout his body.
After his physique strengthened, even the speed of digesting ration pills became faster. A warmth soon appeared in his abdomen, dispelling the chill of sweat all over his body.
Yoru looked toward the Kiiroinu Captain.
Now there was a tricky problem. If he encountered Senju Nawaki again, how could he survive?
According to the Kiiroinu Captain’s order, Yoru would die in the bait mission, thereby luring Senju Nawaki into the trap.
Nawaki’s whereabouts were designed by the front line commander-in-chief Mito Mon’en, the trap was set by the Anbu Captain, and there were backup plans prepared by the Third Hokage and Danzo.
Yoru wanted to preserve Nawaki as much as possible, but more importantly, preserve his own life.
The plot developed as in his previous life.
He secretly hinted to Senju Kashi that wanting to see Senju Nawaki was nothing short of a pipe dream. Cooperating with the Uzumaki Remnants and leaving marks was the only way.
Senju Kashi used the Senju Clan’s unique distress signal to draw out all the Senju ninja from the front line camp.
No one in the Kiiroinu Battalion noticed that the Uzumaki Remnants had already placed the scroll outside the camp beforehand.
Kiiroinu thought the mission was over and led the team back to the village.
The difference was that this time Yoru had made arrangements in advance.
When leaving the Land of Grass, a Long Spear Egret suddenly flew by from nearby, at extreme speed, disappearing behind the distant hillside, heading toward the Land of Rain.
Yoru paused and immediately reported:
“Kiiroinu Captain! That’s the Uzumaki Remnants’ summoning beast, Long Spear Egret!
I won’t mistake it. Back then in the Land of Waves, I and the Kurozaru Squad Leader chased that kind of summoning beast for a long time.”
The Kiiroinu Captain said upon hearing this:
“There are many missions in the village, right at a critical moment.
However, discovering Uzumaki Remnants cannot be ignored. Fox, take your squad to search for intelligence on the Uzumaki Remnants.
The Uzumaki Remnants have learned the Senju Sensory Secret Jutsu and are very hard to catch. Be careful.”
Yoru nodded quickly and said, “I understand. I’ll be careful.”
Having relived his life once, with a slight maneuver, he could stay away from the vortex of danger.
The plan went very smoothly. He had escaped the Kiiroinu Captain’s control.
This way, when the Kiiroinu Captain received the Anbu urgent report and returned to the front line to set up against Nawaki, it would be too late to take him along.
The “critical moment” the Kiiroinu Captain mentioned was probably when Mito Uzumaki’s body worsened, and the seal might be transferred at any time.
In the previous battle at Ushi-ga Mountain, Mito Uzumaki hadn’t appeared as relaxed as she showed.
To dispel the enemy forces’ sabotage of the Nine-Tails seal transfer, Mito Uzumaki put on a strong front and pretended nothing was wrong.
A core Anbu figure like the Kiiroinu Captain had been delayed too long by Senju Kashi and was now anxious to return to the village.
After the rest of the battalion left, Yoru led his squad to track the Long Spear Egret.
The so-called tracking was just Yoru pointing a direction, with the other squad members following. Anyway, the Long Spear Egret was under Yoru’s control, and occasional appearances could fool the new recruits.
Before summoning the Long Spear Egret, Yoru had secretly contacted Yuka Uzumaki and agreed on a meeting place.
The Fox Squad kept going until they entered the Land of Rain.
The Land of Rain was in a basin, perpetually covered by thick clouds, rarely seeing the sun, and often raining.
The Land of Rain was the source of the Naka River south of the Land of Fire and also the source of over a dozen rivers in the Land of Rivers.
Not long after entering the Land of Rain, a sharp cry appeared.
A three-legged Yatagarasu dove down from the clouds.
Its thick beak headed straight for the Fox Squad.
With just one charge, it scattered the four members of the squad.
Purple Cat and the others had never seen such a powerful summoning beast. Kunai and shuriken could not break Yatagarasu’s hard feathers.
Moreover, Yatagarasu laid exploding eggs one after another, more powerful than exploding tags, instantly suppressing the Fox Squad.
Yoru shouted, “This is a large summoning beast under contract with the Uzumaki Clan’s sealing jutsu! We absolutely cannot let this clue go!”
After several entanglements, Yoru threw shuriken connected with steel wire, wrapping it around Yatagarasu’s bird claw.
Yatagarasu carried Yoru and flew into the sky.
“Captain! Captain!”
Purple Cat chased behind, watching helplessly as the Fox Captain, for the mission, was dragged into the sky and disappeared into the clouds over a distant mountain peak.
Yoru heard Purple Cat’s sad cry and thought, I can’t bring you this time. It’s been a while since I saw Yuka Uzumaki; I miss her a bit, and crucially, I need some intelligence from her.
Can’t bring Purple Cat. Strictly speaking, Qiao Yi is the girlfriend, Yuka is the mistress, and you, Purple Cat, are the fourth.
With seniority like this, by rank, we still need to prioritize the senior’s feelings.
Yatagarasu brought Yoru down at a lakeside, then turned into white smoke and disappeared.
Not long after, a large Long Spear Egret flew to the lakeside, and Yuka Uzumaki’s graceful figure jumped down from its back.
Yuka was the same as before, the heavy fruit on slender branches, bouncing Q a few times before settling back to its weighty shape.
“Fox! Long time no see!”
