The power of the Cursed Seal was absorbed quickly. Kimimaro only felt a sharp pain, then his vision went black, and he directly fainted.
The reason Kimimaro appeared relatively fine on the surface was entirely due to the power of the Cursed Seal. Losing it suddenly, one can imagine the impact.
One should know that the Sound Ninja Four had much stronger bodies than Kimimaro, but when Yūto absorbed their Cursed Seals back then, they still fainted directly due to the loss of the Cursed Seal's power.
Gently supporting Kimimaro, Yūto shook his head. Kimimaro's current state could be described as terminal, far more severe than Yoru's was back then.
To completely cure Kimimaro's illness, one would have to eradicate his Bloodline Limit; otherwise, this illness could not completely disappear.
However, if it was just about suppression, Yūto was confident he could achieve it.
As Yūto was pondering, a familiar voice came from ahead.
"Lord Yūto, you are indeed here."
Chōjūro ran over from the front, slightly out of breath.
"Chōjūro? Is something the matter?" Yūto looked at the appearing Chōjūro with a surprised expression.
"Ameyuri Ringo and Bubble have returned. Bubble also brought back a child. Lady Mizukage wants to ask Lord Yūto how this child should be handled?"
Chōjūro took a deep breath and spoke respectfully.
Yūto's heart stirred. This child, if nothing unexpected, was Ranmaru from the original story.
Possessing the ability to counter the Byakugan, such an ability could not be wasted.
"Have Bubble take that child directly to his residence."
Yūto said with a light chuckle. After speaking, as if remembering something, he turned to Chōjūro and asked, "Do you know where Bubble lives?"
Chōjūro nodded blankly. Immediately after this action, the fainted Kimimaro was placed into Chōjūro's hands by Yūto.
"Let's go. You lead the way." Yūto looked at Chōjūro with a smile.
Chōjūro, holding the unconscious Kimimaro in both hands, reflexively said, "Yes, Lord Yūto!"
After speaking, Chōjūro, carrying Kimimaro, led Yūto and walked towards Bubble's residence.
However, they hadn't walked far when Chōjūro suddenly realized why he had come here.
"Th-that... Lord Yūto, I still need to go back and relay your instructions to Lady Mizukage."
Chōjūro spoke softly.
"No need. Just find someone on the way to tell her." Yūto waved his hand dismissively, speaking casually.
Chōjūro had no choice but to continue carrying Kimimaro and head towards Bubble's residence.
It must be said that Bubble's residence was quite remote. The further they walked in that direction, the sparser the population became. If not for Chōjūro leading the way, Yūto wouldn't have known there was such a place in the Mist Ninja Village.
Half an hour later.
Chōjūro, with slightly trembling arms, placed Kimimaro inside Bubble's house.
Rubbing his somewhat sore arms, Chōjūro let out a deep sigh of relief.
Stepping out of the house, Chōjūro saw Yūto leaning against a large tree from afar and quickly walked over.
"Thank you for your trouble, Chōjūro." Seeing Chōjūro approach, Yūto spoke softly.
Chōjūro quickly shook his head, but a hint of worry was on his face.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Yūto looked at Chōjūro and asked curiously.
Chōjūro scratched his head and briefly explained the situation regarding the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to Yūto.
"Have a little more confidence in yourself. Although your strength is a bit lacking, your efficiency is quite good." Yūto patted Chōjūro's shoulder, speaking reassuringly.
Chōjūro gave a wry smile, wondering why he didn't feel at all comforted.
Many things regarding the Ninja Blades needed preparation, so Chōjūro excused himself and left first.
Not long after Chōjūro left, Bubble, carrying Ranmaru in a Bubble, appeared in Yūto's line of sight.
Bubble looked at Yūto expressionlessly, pushed the Bubble beside him towards Yūto, and said indifferently, "I've brought the person to you."
After speaking, Bubble turned and walked towards his house.
"Really, such a personality isn't very likable."
Seeing this, Yūto spread his hands and looked at Ranmaru, who was inside the Bubble, with interest.
At the same time, Ranmaru, inside the Bubble, was also cautiously looking at Yūto.
Bubble's expression just now seemed to show some fear towards the man in front of him. One should know that Bubble was the strongest Ninja Ranmaru had seen so far.
A hint of curiosity appeared on Ranmaru's face, and his originally dark brown pupils slowly began to turn red.
Boom!
The next moment, Ranmaru felt as if his head was about to explode, and a strong sense of danger enveloped his entire body.
In Ranmaru's vision, Yūto was completely different from a normal Ninja.
While a person's strength cannot be entirely determined by the amount of Chakra, under normal circumstances, the amount of Chakra is a crucial factor for a sensory Ninja in determining a person's strength.
For example, when Ranmaru first saw Bubble, he knew that Raiga Kurosuki was bound to lose.
This was also the first time Ranmaru had felt that someone in this world could possess such terrifying Chakra.
But at this moment, in Ranmaru's vision, Yūto's body was like an invisible black hole. Not only did he not see any Chakra, but even his vision began to distort.
And the Red Eye's danger perception had been elevated to its extreme; this was a feeling akin to death.
Ranmaru's Red Eye state quickly faded, and he clutched his head, his delicate body trembling uncontrollably.
In Yūto's vision, Ranmaru's eyes just turned red, then quickly turned grayish-brown, and then he clutched his head, looking terrified.
Yūto blinked slightly, a humorous expression on his face, and gently touched the Bubble with his finger, causing it to dissipate directly.
Ranmaru, who was inside the Bubble, immediately fell to the ground.
"Little guy, you'd best not use your Red Eye on me, or else, be careful your little head might explode."
A faint voice entered Ranmaru's ears.
As the voice sounded, Ranmaru felt his body lighten, and he was lifted up by Yūto.
Yūto carefully examined Ranmaru: ash-black hair, a somewhat cute appearance, completely a little boy.
Feeling that Yūto had no intention of harming him, Ranmaru's trembling body stopped. He cautiously looked at Yūto, somewhat nervously asking,
"Who are you?"
"My name is Yūto, and I am currently an Elder of the Mist Ninja Village."
Yūto smiled lightly and spoke softly.
After realizing that Yūto seemed to bear no ill will, Ranmaru's tense emotions eased slightly, but he still looked at Yūto cautiously, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes:
"Lord Yūto, do you need eyes? I can become Lord Yūto's eyes."
