"What is that, so terrifying?" The horrifying screams frightened Moonlight Gale and Yamashiro Aoba.

"It's similar to the one I gave you. The recovery effect will be better if you use the two together. Do you two want to try it?" Shuimu said scary words as if nothing had happened.

"No thanks." Shancheng Qingye quickly refused. "This thing is really effective, but the side effects are probably not small. I still feel the itchiness and numbness in the wound."

"I don't feel that way. Apart from being tired, there's nothing wrong with me. I'm recovering well."

"Oh, these are rare experimental data. Thank you for your hard work." Shuimu still said heartlessly.

"You guy." Yamashiro Aoba was speechless, "You are really unpleasant."

"Anyway, I don't need a grown man like you to like him." Shuimu said indifferently, "Do you want to chase him? If the three of us work together, there is still hope of catching him alive."

Temporary captain Yamashiro Aoba thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. It's fine if we encounter them during a mission, but it will be very troublesome if we pursue them after one party has already retreated. After all, this is a peaceful era and we are not a belligerent country. It will be difficult to deal with them if we catch them alive."

The screams gradually faded away, and the occasional bubbles in the water gradually subsided.

"Should we go meet up with Captain Ibiki first or go directly to support Kakashi?" asked Gekko Hayate.

"Let's go to the bridge and check out the situation first. I just felt an ominous chakra burst and I have a bad feeling it's better to go over and take a look first." Mizuki suggested.

"That's fine. It would be disastrous if anything happens to the Nine-Tailed Fox." Yamashiro Aoba made the decision.

The three people who had made up their minds quickly went to support Hatake Kakashi.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you." Shuimu still said in that infuriating manner, "Hayate, the effect of your medicine has worn off. You just need to go back and rest more. As for Qingye, your problem is very complicated. I can't explain it clearly, but before the numbness and itchiness disappear, it's best to keep active and consume more chakra."

After a pause, he continued, "It's best for both of you to have a thorough checkup of your entire body when you return. It doesn't look like anything is wrong at the moment, but it's best to be mentally prepared."

"No way, it's that serious?" Shancheng Qingye asked, "You seem to have used more medicine than us, and you're the most seriously injured. Are you okay?"

"We used more medicine because we expected the injury to be more serious," Mizuki replied. "But it's still a work in progress, so we can't say for sure."

Moonlight Gale comforted him, "Everyone is using this voluntarily. I'm sure they've thought through the consequences. Even if there are any problems, Konoha's medical ninjutsu is the best and it will definitely heal them."

Mizuki was about to speak when he suddenly felt a palpitation.

"Who's there?"

"It's me, don't be nervous." It was Morino Ibiki, followed by Izumo and Kotetsu.

"I'm relieved to see that you're all right."

"It's the captain. You're so slow. We've suffered a great loss."

"I can tell by looking at your miserable appearance." Especially Shuimu, whose body was covered with red and black blood scabs and his clothes were tattered. It was obviously not the enemy's blood.

"How's it going over there Kakashi?"

"The fog is gradually dissipating. The winner should be decided. We should go over and take a look."

"good."

By the time the six men arrived, everything was already over.

"We're a little late, but it doesn't look like a big problem." Ibiki said, "I'll go over and clean up the battlefield later."

"Kakashi's Lightning Release is really cool." Mizuki said enviously, "The change in the nature of lightning chakra, and the ability to activate cells, are really amazing skills for picking up girls."

"You look good, and quite arrogant for a ninja." Zitie said.

"This is my own blood. This is too much to pay for being cool."

"Don't you have a fiancée? Why are you still flirting with girls?"

"Zitie, please don't expose my secrets. Next time you peek into the women's bathhouse, I'll help you keep an eye out."

"Thanks, no thanks~ No, I wasn't peeping at all."

"Stop arguing." Ibiki said, "Looks like it's over. Aoba and I will go capture a few people alive and ask them where they hid the money. The four of you go clean up the battlefield."

Poor Cardo, he worked hard all his life, but in the end he was tortured by Zabuza, his soul was searched and his mind was read until his death, and the money he earned was used to rob the rich and help the poor.

Mizuki picked up the blood on the ground. "This one is Zabuza's, this one is white. What is this?" Looking at some bloody needles, "Is this Naruto's or Sasuke's? Who cares? Put it away first. I hope the cells inside are still active."

After cleaning up everything, Mizuki looked at Kakashi next to him.

"Why don't you go and look after your lovely student? She looks like she's been badly injured."

"The opponent showed mercy, otherwise Sasuke and Naruto would have died long ago."

"The one who got hit by your Raikiri?"

"Well, it should be the young man you saw on surveillance earlier."

"Really? Good people don't always live long. You are so cruel~"

"I'm curious about what position you are taking when you say this?" After saying that, he looked at Shuimu who was covered in blood.

"I'll say it again." Shuimu couldn't help but twitch his mouth, "This is all my own blood."

"Ah?" Kakashi was shocked. "You are still alive after losing so much blood. You are really lucky."

"Don't bother talking. I've suffered a huge loss this time. My summoning beasts and ninja tools are almost all gone." Shuimu said unwillingly, "Ibiki and Aoba have taken all the benefits. These rebellious and wandering ninjas don't have any money at all. They are so poor. I didn't even get a valuable beheading sword. I could only pick up a few steel needles, which are useless."

"The Third Master will compensate you."

"What do you know? I've been working for nothing these past few months, and my salary has long been deducted!"

"Haha." Kakashi smiled embarrassedly, "The Third Hokage will definitely not treat you unfairly. I'm going to visit my students. See you later." After saying that, he disappeared with a teleportation technique.

"Alas, they are all ungrateful guys. It seems that we will have to live in poverty for a while. I wonder if Xiaochun has money to support the family?" Shuimu couldn't help but think about the possibility of being a gigolo, a very promising career.

Looking at his companions who were still busy not far away, Shuimu had the idea of ​​running away. There was nothing to pack anyway. So he prepared to leave and find a place to sleep first. This day was really tiring.

"Hey, why can't I move?" Just as Shuimu was about to take action, he found that something was wrong with his body. "It won't obey my commands. What's going on?"

Mizuki felt something was wrong and hurriedly circulated his chakra, but it was still too late. A burning pain quickly spread from his right arm to his whole body. Runes appeared wherever he went.

"Damn it, how come the curse seal is activated? There's nothing wrong with my spirit and the seal of sealing evil, so there shouldn't be any problem. Could it be..." Shuimu couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Has my body been overdrawn so badly?"

The power of the seal to seal evil mainly relies on one's own spirit and willpower, but it is still the flesh and blood body that bears the seal. If the body is too weak, even the sealing technique itself will be difficult to sustain, so it is no wonder that the seal will explode.

The mutated natural energy rampaged wildly in the body, wantonly squeezing the vitality of every cell, while also bringing powerful force.

"If we hadn't known that this false strength was an illusion caused by overdrawing our life force, I'm afraid most people would have found it difficult to resist this temptation."

What to do? Shuimu seemed to have no other options, and could only let the situation get worse and worse. The remaining drug effects in his body seemed to know that he was in danger, and desperately repaired his body. Shuimu had no choice but to use his chakra in vain to resist this mutated natural energy.

Just when Shuimu was about to despair, suddenly, an inexplicable force was born from the collision of chakra and natural energy in the body, like the initial energy of life, and wherever it passed, the body was like a dead tree coming back to life, and all hidden dangers disappeared without a trace. At the same time, the morale of the all-powerful potion seemed to be boosted as if it had received reinforcements, and the speed of recovery was greatly improved.

"What kind of effect does this power have?" Shuimu thought in disbelief, "Senjutsu Chakra? Sage Mode? It's so easy to do?" The power of this force was beyond imagination. The previous body chakra collapsed at the touch of natural energy. It was not a level of power at all. However, the Senjutsu Chakra made him realize what that unparalleled power was.

"Although I can't figure out the situation, it is a ray of hope. However," Shuimu knew that "this is not the power I should covet right now. My own chakra is limited, while the source of natural energy is endless. If I don't seal the curse quickly, sooner or later my fairy chakra won't be able to save me."

The power that cannot be freely controlled by oneself is ultimately just an illusion.

Mizuki, no longer addicted to it, took the opportunity to use the fairy chakra to repair his body, taking the opportunity to extract more chakra, while using chakra to block natural energy, generating more fairy chakra, gradually forming a virtuous cycle, and also benefiting from the last residual heat of the potion, slowly forcing the natural energy back in one fell swoop. The two energies used the body as a battlefield, and the strong tearing pain caused Mizuki to scream.

"What's wrong? Shuimu?" Moonlight Gale, who was a little closer, heard Shuimu's call and couldn't help but come over to ask.

Shuimu was no longer able to agree. The critical moment had arrived. The natural energy was forced back into his right arm, causing it to grow larger. The piercing pain made Shuimu want to cut off his right arm.

Shuimu mustered his strength, mobilized his mental power to activate the seal for sealing evil, and sealed the curse once again.

The runes created by the curse quickly shrank, and were no longer in the shape of the original abstract tiger head. Instead, they became a magatama as black as jade, surrounded by the seal that sealed evil. Then the magatama and runes disappeared into the body.

"Shuimu, has the side effect of the medicine erupted?" Seeing that something was wrong, Moonlight Gale hurried over to support the staggering Shuimu.

"Finally, everything is fine." Shuimu, who was already too tired to move, forced a smile and said, "You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll take a break for a bit."

After saying this, Shuimu felt a darkness coming over him and he knew nothing.
