Chapter 99: Appeasement



"It doesn't look like he was injured, but more like he was forced to protect himself, so he fell into a coma. What happened?"

Mizuki also knows something about Mitarashi Anko. If she is unconscious, the curse is probably the biggest culprit.

"It's not for any other reason. The battle situation was tense so I ran out of chakra, and that's what happened." Yamashiro Aoba replied.

"Has that thing on the neck remained in this state?" The seal of evil was still working, but it obviously did not completely block the activity of the curse seal. The runes were floating slightly, no longer spreading, but there was no sign of lurking.

Mizuki didn't know much about this situation. Mitarashi Anko's Heavenly Curse Seal was planted quite early, and there was no amazing performance at that time, and then she was abandoned by Orochimaru. As for the second state of the Curse Seal, there is no such thing. After so many years, it is hard to say whether the Curse Seal has changed.

Mizuki stepped forward and touched the curse seal on Mitarashi Anko's neck with his right hand.

"Compared to the surrounding skin, apart from the slightly higher temperature, nothing special has happened..."

Even the unfinished curse seal on Shuimu's body, as his physical condition stabilized, came into close contact with the active Heavenly Curse Seal, and except for a little resonance, there was no longer the restless feeling as before.

"Has anyone come to see her?"

"Elder Danzo Shimura just came here..."

"Huh?" Shuimu was very surprised, "What is he doing here?"

"Could it be that he wanted to check Orochimaru's condition through Mitarashi Anko? In that case, does Danzo also know something about the curse seal? It seems that the connection between Danzo and Orochimaru is much deeper than I thought."

Yamashiro Aoba was not very clear about Mizuki's question. "Not long ago, when Uchiha Sasuke's group of Genin came back, Elder Danzo was there too. He seemed to want to take Uchiha Sasuke away, but he failed?"

"Oh? Who stopped it? Kakashi?"

"Yes." Yamashiro Aoba nodded, "People who come from that kind of place are always feared. Of course, no one wants to go to that kind of place if they have nothing to do."

Mizuki knew that what Yamashiro Aoba was talking about was "roots". Not many people knew about the existence of "roots", but there were quite a few. Ninjas with a little bit of connections would always know about it, and Yamashiro Aoba was obviously one of those who had good connections.

"This is something Kakashi should worry about." Mizuki didn't want to talk too much about the dark side of Konoha, "How are the two Sand Ninjas? Especially the One-Tail Jinchuriki?"

"Inside the hospital, Elder Danzo seemed to want to intervene, but was stopped by the two advisors..."

"Is that so?" Shuimu understood, "It's not bad."

As the surrendering party, since they cannot completely destroy the Jinchūriki, even seizing the Jinchūriki is a taboo and is likely to cause interference from other villages, especially when such a village has suffered heavy losses. Danzo sometimes uses overly tough measures, which will lead to unpredictable consequences. This is also unacceptable to Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu. Since they have won, the most important thing is to seize more benefits. If they cannot do anything with the captives and the tailed beasts, the best strategy is to be gentle and win them over.

"We'll talk about that later." Yamashiro Aoba suggested, "Do you have any ideas for Mitarashi Anko over here?"

"There is a solution, but it's only a temporary solution. It's enough to solve the problem temporarily." Shuimu replied, "But I always feel a little bit wronged. I don't think she is the type who would remember to return a favor."

In fact, Mitarashi Anko was fine originally, and if Mizuki hadn't intervened, she would have just been unconscious for a few more days and needed more time to recover.

"Well, the village is in urgent need of manpower right now. It would be good to wake her up earlier and free up a hospital bed."

"Why are you so concerned about her? I remember you didn't know her very well?"

"Well, it can be considered as a comradeship." Yamashiro Aoba said awkwardly, "Without her help, I probably wouldn't be able to come back. It can be considered as repaying a favor..."

"It's up to you." Shuimu didn't think it mattered. It was just a little more effort. "But you haven't fulfilled your promise to treat me to a meal when you came back from Wave Country last time? You owe new debts without paying off the old ones?"

"I won't forget it. When Ji Feng wakes up, let's go have a big meal together..."

"That's fine." Shuimu, who was about to make another joke, stopped talking. "It's been more than half a month. It's about time he wakes up."

Shuimu estimated that once the effect of the sealing technique wore off, if things went well, he would wake up soon, but if it dragged on for a while, the situation might not be optimistic.

After saying that, Shuimu took out the sealing scroll.

"I had prepared very well and collected so much chakra. I thought it wouldn't be enough, but I didn't expect that there would be a lot left due to an accident..."

First, a large tube of nutrient solution was injected into Mitarashi Anko, and then a barrier that isolated the inside and outside was created to cover Mitarashi Anko.

"Is this okay?" Seeing that Mizuki had finished the task in a short while without much effort, Yamashiro Aoba asked curiously.

"How difficult do you think it is?" Shuimu said as he cleaned up. "The trouble is not here. Creating this barrier is troublesome in itself, and it is difficult to use. Let me put it this way, if all the chakra in your body can last for one minute, you are amazing."

"You really like to study these weird things." A voice suddenly came from behind, it was Hatake Kakashi who rushed over.

"Have Naruto and Sasuke been arranged?" Mizuki turned around and asked Kakashi.

"They are all in the hospital. Fortunately, they are all fine." Kakashi replied, "It seems that they were seriously injured. You can imagine how dangerous it was."

"I'm glad you're okay. Two people can defeat a Jinchuriki. Kakashi, you can't do it, right?"

"It's very likely that we are no match for them." Kakashi nodded in confirmation, "Thank you for both of them, especially Sasuke..."

After hearing the whole story from Sasuke, Kakashi was grateful to Mizuki for taking a huge risk to save Sasuke from Orochimaru. Not everyone has the courage to face Orochimaru, even if Orochimaru was seriously injured and not in good condition. Sasuke may not be very clear, but Hatake Kakashi is clear about the level of opponent Mizuki is facing.

"Isn't this a mission? Don't be so polite." Shuimu said, "But that kid is really arrogant. If it were someone else, he would have been pissed off to death. And, the important thing is his curse seal. You may have to worry about it in the future."

Kakashi shook his head and said, "It can't be helped. I am your teacher. But speaking of this, you were the one who put the seal on the One-tail Jinchuriki, right? The sealing class took a lot of effort to remove it. It seems that your sealing skills are far better than mine."

"Sealing Class? Have you seen Xiaochun?"

"Yeah, he's here too, and nothing seems to have happened."

"That's good." Hearing that his fiancée was fine, Shuimu felt relieved. The riot that was far greater than expected finally did not affect Xiaochun.

Mizuki was about to speak again when he suddenly found that Kakashi and Yamashiro Aoba were looking behind him. Mizuki turned around and looked as if he had noticed something.

"Sure enough, he woke up while I was talking."

The power of the isolation barrier is far stronger than imagined, and its repulsion to energy is amazingly great. As long as there is enough chakra, Shuimu can even create a small holy place similar to Myoboku Mountain, Ryuchi Cave, and Wet Bone Forest. However, the advantages and disadvantages of this kind of barrier are similar. The principle is not easy, but it is not too difficult. It is just that the consumption is amazingly high, and generally speaking, it has no practicality at all.

However, it is best used for capture or isolation. The power of the curse seal and the body's recovery ability of Mitarashi Red Bean are roughly balanced. Isolating the natural energy is like the last straw that breaks the camel's back. After breaking the balance, the curse seal is naturally suppressed. With the addition of some stimulant nutrients, she will wake up soon.
