Have you finally found it? Looking at the box of medicine that Renna brought over, Yuki instinctively wanted to reach out and take it, but after seeing what was inside, he couldn't help but take a half step back.
"No, is this thing really edible?"
It wasn't that Yuki didn't trust Renna; the problem was that, in his opinion, the things Renna gave him really looked like the rotten boogers he had just stuffed into the monk's mouth.
"Don't worry. After herbal medicine is ground and processed, it usually turns into either a green paste or a black paste. The one in this box is indeed a powerful antidote, but it's just a little bit..."
"It's just a little something; it shouldn't have any side effects, right?"
But even if there were side effects, Yuki had no choice now. He pinched his nose and swallowed the medicine in one gulp. The sticky feeling was really... slimming.
As the saying goes, what goes around comes around. He had just been helping the monk lose weight, and now he had started his own weight loss journey. It's true—what goes around, comes around.
"All medicine is three parts poison, and side effects are definitely inevitable, but it's not a big deal. This drug promotes the body's metabolism and helps quickly eliminate toxins, so you'll sweat and cough a lot; that's all."
"What do you mean?"
Yuki didn't initially understand the meaning of Renna's words, but he understood it the next moment because he immediately felt a huge pain in his stomach.
"There is a toilet behind the room; you'd better go there quickly—"
Whoosh! Before Renna could finish her words, Yuki's figure had already rolled and crawled out, managing to reach the toilet behind the house with his semi-paralyzed body.
Ten minutes later, Yuki, who looked extremely pale, finally came back with a slumped face. His body was as wet as if he had taken a bath, and he looked exhausted from massive dehydration.
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay. Although my condition is a bit poor, at least I can move normally now."
After taking the water bottle that Renna had prepared earlier, Yuki raised his neck and chugged at least a liter of water in one go.
Phew... This is the first time in my life that water has tasted so delicious.
After sighing, Yuki moved his body casually and found that the movements of his hands and feet had basically returned to normal. In other words, the effect of the "Paralyzing Mushroom" had finally been lifted.
"Would you like to change into some clothes? But there's nothing to change into here."
At this time, Renna looked at Yuki's clothes, which were almost soaked with sweat, with a troubled expression.
Normally, wet clothes were just wet clothes, but if they were to enter a fighting state, clothes full of water would definitely hinder movement.
"It doesn't matter; I have a way to dry them. You hide in the room, get 'that thing' ready, and leave the rest to me."
"Okay, no problem."
After leaving these words and a hearty smile for Renna, Yuki picked up the monk's body and walked out of the thatched house alone, then sealed the door with rattan from the outside to make it look like no one was inside.
After randomly throwing the monk's body into the grass, he looked at his wet white clothes, and the chakra in his body suddenly spurted out from every acupuncture point.
"Gentle Fist: Body Blow!"
In an instant, a strong wave of air rushed out with Yuki at its core. When this wave of air dissipated, the water vapor that had saturated his body was also swept away.
In the blink of an eye, the clean white robe was restored to an almost dry state—more practical than the spin cycle of a washing machine.
"Body Blow with the Gentle Fist" was the starting position of the "Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven," an incidental technique inevitably learned while practicing the Revolving Heaven.
The principle of "Revolving Heaven" was to make the chakra released from the acupuncture points of the whole body perform a circular rotation like a top to bounce off attacks, while "Body Blow" didn't need to rotate but directly repelled the things around it, that's all.
The next step was to wait here. If the monk hadn't come back for a long time, they would definitely send people here again. This was the so-called "luring the enemy to reinforce."
After thinking about the next strategy, Yuki found a relatively dense tree nearby and quietly hid himself on the treetop.
At the same time, at the crowd gathering place in the middle of the village, Hannya, who had checked all the medicines in the village, also looked a little downcast, sitting on a big rock and thinking about something.
They had already threatened them like this and searched most places in the village. So, did the "secret medicine" really exist?
Speaking of it, Hannya was also a little puzzled. After all, he had never really seen the legendary "Platinum Pill"; this was just a legend circulated among a few Kusanagi ninja.
"Teacher Hannya, that monk hasn't come back for so long. Why don't I go over and have a look?"
At this time, the long-haired ninja who looked a little feminine, Yin Snake, came over and said. After all, the place where the monk went was only a little over a thousand meters away; it was too much for him not to come back for so long.
"Just now, he insisted on taking that girl with him. Don't you understand what he meant?"
"Yes, but I don't think it's the time to do this kind of thing. It's better to finish the search and leave first."
Compared to the thick-headed, muscle-bound thugs from the Draft Ninja Village, Yin Snake's thinking was obviously much more careful than his colleagues—at least he knew that now was not the time to have fun.
"Okay, then you can go with Ghost Face. That guy might lose his temper if he gets carried away. It will be easier to talk to him if you bring Ghost Face. After all, that idiot monk is most afraid of him."
After waving his hand, Hannya didn't bother to express too much opinion on this aspect. Although it would be better for him to go there in person as the teacher, he really didn't want to see the monk's white butt, so... forget it.
Phew, these idiots are for real. What I hate the most are the types who only grow muscles but not brains.
After nodding respectfully to the teacher on the surface, Yin Snake changed to a disgusted expression the moment he turned to leave; the speed of his face change was almost as fast as Orochimaru's slap.
Although he was born in a humble grass ninja village, Yin Snake had a dream since he was a child. He dreamed of being able to dominate the ninja world like Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, and preferably become an S-rank rogue ninja. That could be considered a glorious way to honor his ancestors.
Therefore, to achieve this goal, he must first pass the Chunin Exam next year and then work hard from there. Yin Snake secretly encouraged himself in his heart.
"Hey, let's go. Let's go find that idiot."
"Ah."
Even though he didn't know what was happening, Ghost Face was surprisingly willing to listen to Yin Snake and immediately followed obediently.
"If you go in later and see the monk doing something, just spit a mouthful of 'corrosive liquid' onto his butt, do you understand?"
"Hey, I can do that. I'm tired of looking at that guy's ass anyway."
Just as Yin Snake walked toward the thatched cottage not far from the village with Ghost Face, a malicious gaze stared at them from a tree not far away.
Are they really sending just the two of them? Although I don't know what ninjutsu they're good at, since they're just two genin, it shouldn't be anything special.
When he saw Yin Snake and Ghost Face walking in his direction, Yuki showed a happy smile, as if he was ready to give them a "righteous backstab."
But just as the two were about to arrive under the tree, Yin Snake's brows suddenly furrowed, and at the same time, his hands began to form hand seals at an extremely fast speed.
Was I discovered? What happened?
When this gloomy guy suddenly started forming seals, Yuki couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he still tried to leave his original position with an extremely fast reaction speed.
However, just that moment of "stupefaction" caused him to lose the best opportunity to dodge.
