ust like the last time he chose the Senju bloodline, Night Light's entire body trembled.
He slowly sat down, leaning against the tree trunk behind him.
Purple Cat saw Night Light's arm shaking and came closer to ask, "Captain, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, just a cramp. Don't make a fuss, it'll be fine soon."
Purple Cat was very curious, why would the Fox Squad Leader get a cramp with his strength?
Without asking further, Purple Cat stood in front of Night Light.
Night Light discovered a pleasant surprise!
Last time, the ordinary Senju bloodline gave him more Chakra and a stronger physique.
And the mid-to-high-level Senju bloodline, in addition to the increase in Chakra and physique, also had a new ability!
Self-healing Recovery (Slow)!
Many Ninja of the Senju Clan are skilled in medical Ninjutsu, like Senju Hashirama, Tsunade, and others, who can even apply self-healing abilities in combat to increase their margin for error and make opponents despair.
When fighting Tsunade in her prime, unless Tsunade's Chakra was exhausted, she would never die.
As for Senju Hashirama, he even treated Tsunade's trump card, the Creation Rebirth Technique, as a constant state.
After the purity of his Senju bloodline increased, Night Light also gained a certain self-healing ability.
When injured, he could quickly stop bleeding, reduce pain, and maintain a certain level of combat effectiveness.
Furthermore, his body cells would slowly recover on their own, healing injuries without the need for medical Ninja.
His Chakra reserves had even become 1.7 times that of a Special Jonin.

Night Light let out a long breath, the improvement in his physique had finally ended.
After swallowing 3 soldier pills in a row, Night Light stood up.
He clenched and then released his fist, feeling full of power.
After his physique strengthened, the speed of digesting the soldier pills also increased, and warmth quickly appeared in his abdomen, dispelling the chill from his sweat.
Night Light looked in the direction of Captain Huang Quan.
Now there was a tricky problem: if he encountered Senju Nawaki again, how could he survive?
According to Captain Huang Quan's orders, Night Light would die in the decoy mission, thereby luring Senju Nawaki into the trap.
Nawaki's whereabouts were designed by the front-line commander Homura Mitokado, the trap was set by the Anbu Captain, and there were also backup plans prepared by the Third Hokage and Danzo.
Night Light wanted to preserve Nawaki as much as possible, and more importantly, preserve his own life.
The plot progressed as it did in his previous life.
He secretly hinted to Senju Bo that for Senju Bo to meet Senju Nawaki was akin to a fool's dream. Cooperating with the Vortex Remnants and leaving marks was the only way.
Senju Bo used the Senju Clan's unique distress signal to attract all the Senju Ninja in the front-line camp.
No one in the Yellow Dog Squad discovered that the Vortex Remnants had already placed the scrolls outside the camp in advance.
Yellow Dog believed the mission was over and led his team back to the Village.
The difference was that this time, Night Light had made arrangements in advance.
As they were leaving the Land of Grass, a Spear Egret suddenly flew by from not far away, moving extremely fast, disappearing behind a distant hillside, flying towards the Land of Rain.
Night Light paused and immediately reported:
"Captain Huang Quan! That's a Vortex remnant's summoning beast, Spear Egret!
I can't be mistaken; in the Wave Country, Captain Black Ape and I chased that kind of summoning beast for a long time."
Captain Huang Quan said upon hearing this:
"There are many missions in the Village, and it's a critical moment.
However, we can't ignore the discovery of the Vortex Remnants. Fox, you take your squad to gather intelligence on the Vortex Remnants.
The Vortex Remnants have learned the Senju Sensory Technique, making them very difficult to catch, so you must be careful."
Night Light nodded quickly and said, "I understand, I will be careful."
Having lived another life, a slight manipulation allowed him to stay away from the dangerous Vortex.
The plan went very smoothly, and he broke free from Captain Huang Quan's control.
Thus, when Captain Huang Quan received the urgent Anbu report and returned to the front line to set up Nawaki, he wouldn't have time to bring him along.
What Captain Huang Quan meant by 'critical moment' should be that Uzumaki Mito's health had deteriorated, and the sealing transfer could happen at any time.
In the last battle at Mt. Niuhe, Uzumaki Mito was not as relaxed as she appeared.
To thwart hostile forces from disrupting the Nine-Tailed sealing transfer, Uzumaki Mito mustered her spirits and pretended to be fine.
Captain Huang Quan, a core Anbu member, had wasted too much time because of Senju Bo and was now anxious to return to the Village.
After the rest of the squad left, Night Light led his squad to track the Spear Egret.
The so-called tracking was merely Night Light pointing a direction and the rest of the squad following; after all, the Spear Egret was controlled by Night Light, and occasional appearances were enough to fool a few new team members.
When summoning the Spear Egret earlier, Night Light secretly contacted Vortex Yuka and arranged a meeting place.
The Fox Squad kept moving until they entered the Land of Rain.
The Land of Rain is located in a basin, constantly covered by thick clouds, rarely seeing the sun, and frequently raining.
The Land of Rain is the source of the Nanga River in the Land of Fire, and also the source of over a dozen rivers in the Land of Rivers.
Shortly after entering the Land of Rain, a sharp cry emerged.
A three-legged Yatagarasu swooped down from the clouds.
Its thick beak headed straight for the Fox Squad.
With just one impact, it scattered the four members of the squad.
Purple Cat and the others had never seen such a powerful summoning beast; Kunai and shuriken couldn't break Yatagarasu's hard feathers.
Moreover, Yatagarasu also laid Exploding Eggs, which were more powerful than Exploding Tags, instantly suppressing the Fox Squad.
Night Light shouted, "This is a large summoning beast contracted with the Vortex Clan's sealing Jutsu! We must not let this clue go!"
After several skirmishes, Night Light threw a shuriken connected to a steel wire, which wrapped around Yatagarasu's talons.
Yatagarasu carried Night Light into the sky.
"Captain! Captain!"
Purple Cat chased behind, watching helplessly as the Fox Squad Leader, for the sake of the mission, was dragged into the sky and disappeared behind the clouds on a distant peak.
Night Light heard Purple Cat's sorrowful shouts and thought, 'It's not good to bring you this time.' He hadn't seen Vortex Yuka in a long time and missed her a bit. The key was that he needed to get some information from her.
It wasn't good to bring Purple Cat. Strictly speaking, Qiao Yi was his lover, Yuka was the mistress, and Purple Cat was merely the fourth. Given the hierarchy, he had to prioritize the feelings of his predecessors.
Yatagarasu carried Night Light and landed by a lake, then disappeared in a puff of white smoke.
Soon after, a large Spear Egret flew to the lake, and Vortex Yuka's graceful figure jumped off its back.
Yuka was still the same as before, her ample bosom bouncing several times before settling back into its voluptuous shape.
"Fox! Long time no see!"
