Chapter 61: The Secret Art of the Spirit



When Shuimu arrived at the Moonlight Gale ward, the surrounding security did not block him too much. Everyone was quite familiar with this ninja who had appeared quite frequently these days.

Looking at the medical ninjas busy coming and going in the ward, it was obvious that Gekko Hayate's condition was not very good.

"What's the situation?" Mizuki asked a busy ninja.

"His body has been temporarily stabilized, but there is no sign of waking up. It is extremely difficult to ensure that his organs are not failing."

"You still can't use the mind-reading ninjutsu?"

"Until things get better, there's not much that can be done."

It seems that without further measures, it will be difficult to revive Moonlight Gale.

"When will Senior Yamanaka Inoichi come?" Shuimu asked with a sigh.

"He was here just now. He might have gone out to eat. I think he will be here soon."

"That's good. Wait for the senior to come and notify me. I'll go outside and rest for a while."

To be honest, I have spent too much energy these days, and the most important thing is that I am mentally exhausted. As the Chunin Exam approaches, the anxiety in my heart is becoming more and more unsuppressible. I always feel that I have not handled it well in some way.

Sitting on the bench in the hospital, Mizuki could not stop dozing off while waiting. A few days ago, this was where Karin slept, but now it was Mizuki's turn to use it. The ninjas from other villages had been gone for several days, no wonder the hospital was much quieter than before.

When he was about to fall asleep, Shuimu suddenly felt someone approaching. When Shuimu looked up, he saw that it was Yamanaka Inoichi whom he was looking for.

"Senior, long time no see." As the junior, Shuimu was the first to greet.

"Didn't we just meet a few days ago?" Yamanaka Inoichi was very polite, "Thank you for taking care of my little girl Ino for the next two days."

"Where? Ino was the one who helped me a lot."

"You are so polite. So, what do you want from me?"

"It's about Moonlight Gale~" Shuimu said seriously, "Let's find a place to talk about it?"

In the corner of the rooftop terrace of the hospital, Mizuki and Yamanaka Inoue were leaning on the railing and talking.

"What do you want to say? About Hayate?" asked Yamanaka Inoichi.

Shuimu looked at the crowd below and said softly, "There are some things I want to talk to my senior about, but if we leave this place, I won't admit that I said the following~"

"Hmm?" It seemed that Mizuki's serious attitude attracted Yamanaka Inoichi's attention.

"Three days ago, I went to Sandai to give a report, and seemed to hear some bad rumors." Shuimu organized his words carefully.

"The village leaders have requested that we obtain the information in Moonlight Gale's brain as soon as possible~"

"Even if it will kill Ji Feng?" Shan Zhong Haiyi asked in a deep voice.

"That's right." Shuimu answered very straightforwardly, "I'm sure you're not completely ignorant of this. I'm sure you're under a lot of pressure, right?"

Yamanaka Inoichi didn't say anything and agreed with Shuimu's statement.

"Honestly speaking, as a former comrade-in-arms, I am relieved that he is able to survive, but now, he is about to be strangled by his compatriots, which is really unacceptable."

"So you're asking me if there's any solution?"

"I guess so? But I want to try to salvage it. Even if Moonlight Gale still can't save it, I still want to try."

After hearing what Mizuki said, Yamanaka Inoichi tightly grasped the handrail of the railing.

"How?"

"It seems that Yamanaka Inoichi is not so pedantic. There is still hope for the situation."

"I have no intention of prying into your secret mind-reading skills, but I want to know where the greatest danger to Moonlight Gale comes from?"

"The main danger comes from mental harm." Yamanaka Kaiichi decided to reveal some spiritual secrets and experiences to Mizuki. "The human spirit is not a perfect whole, but a collection of slightly different personalities composed of different fragments. At different times, people's performance is not constant. For example, sometimes they will do things that surprise themselves, such as going to places they don't want to go, eating food they don't like, buying things that they don't use at all and regret when they take them home~"

"This is the first time I've heard of this," Shuimu said. The topic is really hard to understand too deeply. Discussing the existence of the spirit in philosophy is too difficult. There is no standard answer at all. We can only understand it abstractly.

"According to what the seniors said, everyone is suffering from schizophrenia to varying degrees?"

"That's not the case. In fact, the human spirit and soul are like this. When the different personalities disagree with each other or even reject each other, that is schizophrenia. Normal people don't have this worry. At most, the sub-personalities that are different from the norm are often hidden and suppressed. However, the various personalities still gather into an inseparable and mutually recognized whole. This is considered a complete soul."

"Oh, is that so?" To be honest, Shuimu didn't quite want to agree with this statement, but looking at the sign of his Four Seasons Flower Shop, a bunch of low-level microorganisms could gather into a simple consciousness to refine chakra, it seemed that Yamanaka Inoichi's statement made some sense.

"When the Yamanaka family's secret technique is used on ordinary people, it will cause a strong mental shock to the caster. As long as ordinary people get more rest, the harm is not very great. But Moonlight Gale's situation is too special. Both his body and mind have been greatly damaged. His consciousness is in a state of self-protection, which also means that he has no resistance at all. As long as his mind is broken to read the information, the probability of gathering a complete personality is infinitely close to zero. Without the support of the spirit, death is only a matter of time."

"Has the situation gotten this bad?" Shuimu murmured.

"So, the situation of Moonlight Gale must be fundamentally improved. It is very easy for me to get information. Even if it is a corpse that has just died, as long as the brain is intact, I can get a glimpse of it. But this situation is really embarrassing~" Yamanaka Inoichi also felt that there was no other way.

"The key is that time is running out." Shuimu said to himself.

"Yes, we can't wait. The big shots above are getting anxious."

Looking at the endless stream of people below, the prosperous scene, Shuimu also sighed. He could not present the information himself. He had finally cleared himself and could not fall into suspicion again. However, there were some things he could do for Moonlight Gale.

"Senior, maybe I can solve the situation you are worried about..."

"Huh?" Mizuki's words shocked Yamanaka Inoichi. Yamanaka Inoichi, who claimed to be a spiritual ninjutsu family, had no solution. How could Mizuki, a mere Chunin, solve the problem?
