Chapter 60: Remember to rescue me from the Pure Land in the future
Hokage Building
Sakumo, who had just left the Senju family home, immediately went into the Hokage Building and reported the events in Tsurugi Town to the Hokage.
After listening to Sakumo recount what had happened, Hiruzen Sarutobi's hands trembled.
It's unbelievable that a B-level mission could lead to this kind of thing.
Although they eventually managed to escape, the price they paid was far too high.
Nawaki became a cripple, and Minato lost an arm, thus losing the possibility of becoming a ninja in the future.
Fu Heiyao was unharmed and even benefited from the misfortune by awakening his Sharingan.
But at such a heavy price, even the Sharingan, which used to require careful consideration, seemed insignificant.
"To be able to awaken a single-tomoe Sharingan at the age of eight, Yoru is truly a genius," Hiruzen Sarutobi remarked sincerely.
To take the initiative to "cover the rear" during the battle so that the strongest Sakumo could save his wounded comrades—what a spirit of fire that is!
Compared to that, opening the Sharingan is nothing.
"Lord Hokage, it's the three-tomoe Sharingan." Sakumo selectively used the three-tomoe Sharingan to conceal the information about Fukuko's chakra, which was even more terrifying than a demon.
In the past, he might have reported every detail to the Hokage.
However, when Fu Heiyao affirmed his Will of Fire and was willing to help him, he regarded Fu Heiyao as a close friend.
They were even willing to conceal some information that was detrimental to him.
"What!?" Hiruzen Sarutobi choked while smoking, but quickly calmed down.
The three tomoe obtained at the cost of losing two pillars of Konoha's future is ultimately a regrettable outcome.
"I understand." Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the secret report on the table regarding the Land of Rain's declaration of war against Sunagakure and sighed.
Misfortunes never come singly.
He put down his pipe, his tone heavy with worry, and said, "I'll discuss this at a high-level meeting. Sakumo, you should go to the hospital first."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed as he looked at the bloodstains seeping from under Sakumo's newly changed clothes.
Even the strongest among them, Sakumo, suffered such an accident, which shows how dangerous the situation was at the time.
However, the most urgent task is to go and check on Nawaki and Minato.
How cruel it must be for a child filled with the will of fire to be unable to dedicate himself to Konoha.
..........
the next day, early morning
Soft light streamed through the window and fell on Fu's dark, rosy face.
"Why would I have a dream where I transmigrated into the body of Fukuro Megumi, who was crushed to death while subduing the Manchu elephants?"
Fu Heiyao suddenly opened his eyes, only to see the classical ceiling of the Senju mansion.
"I'm not in the hospital?" Fu Heiyao asked in surprise.
Konoha is really getting more and more outrageous. Are they just going to let a sick person suffer like this?
Just as he was about to get up, he felt a heavy pressure on his chest, as if something was pressing down on him.
Fu Heiyao looked up slightly and realized it was a soft, reddish dumpling.
Fu Heiyao chuckled and reached out to ruffle the incredibly soft red hair.
Kushina's series of movements seemed to make her realize that Fushiko had woken up. Still a little dazed, Kushina forced herself to stay awake despite her exhaustion and looked up.
"Kushina, your face!?"
However, when Fukuyo saw Kushina's pale and haggard face, his smile vanished instantly.
"I'm just a little tired," Kushina said hurriedly. "Don't overthink it."
But his pale face and stammering words only made him seem more suspicious.
As if remembering something, Fukuyo subconsciously grabbed Kushina's hand.
As expected, there was a noticeable scar on Kushina's wrist.
"I was accidentally injured while I was training," Kushina said, trying to appear calm.
If it were anyone else, Fushiko might have believed it, but Kushina was different.
She possesses the healing constitution of the Uzumaki clan, and an enhanced version at that. When she gets injured, she heals herself in the time it takes others to go to the hospital.
But now this self-healing ability has failed.
Fu Heiyao felt his waist and abdomen had healed, and his injuries had mostly healed, and he fell silent.
This level of treatment will drain your body.
"Don't be so stubborn next time," he said to Kushina in the gentlest voice he could muster.
"It's you who shouldn't be so stubborn!" Kushina, who hadn't thought anything of it before, suddenly became agitated after hearing Fushiko's words.
"You promised to be careful, but what happened?" Kushina's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Not only did Little Golden Retriever and Rope Tree suffer those kinds of injuries, but you almost died too!"
Her eyes were red, but she forced herself to keep it up, as if to appear stern.
"I don't want to lose you, Yao."
Faced with Kushina's almost open confession, Fushiko Yo didn't know how to respond.
After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with a good idea and said:
"Then you should study sealing techniques well. If I accidentally die, go to the Pure Land to retrieve me."
"ha!?"
Kushina was furious after hearing that.
I went all out, forcing myself to say these cheesy things in the heat of the moment, and you not only didn't respond, but you're also so ungrateful.
And what does sealing magic have to do with Pure Land?!
Kushina's forehead veins bulged, her five fingers clenched into a fist, and she slammed it hard into Fukuyo's head.
"What are you doing!"
Fu Heiyao scratched his head, displeased.
When Kushina saw Fushiko in pain, her heart softened immediately, and even her voice became gentle.
"Get up quickly, Grandma and Little Yellow Hair are waiting for you."
"Also, the Hokage, a mysterious bandaged man, and two middle-aged men were there; they seemed to be some kind of Hokage assistants."
Kushina's mood eased slightly from the interruption, and she got down to business.
"What are they here for?" Fu Heiyao frowned.
"It's a golden retriever. After he and Rope Tree received basic treatment for their wounds at the hospital, they refused to continue treatment and insisted on waiting for you to wake up."
"Little Golden Retriever wanted to keep a low profile, but he didn't expect to be cornered by the Hokage. Luckily, Grandma is on your side."
"Then why haven't they left yet?" Fu Heiyao asked, puzzled.
"Because of that mysterious bandaged man, he insisted on waiting for you, and I could tell that he seemed to have a problem with you."
After speaking, Kushina stared at Fushiko with a solemn expression.
"Let me ask you one more question, Yao, do you really have a way to cure disabilities?"
From Kushina's perspective, she would believe even if Fushiko said he could pluck stars from the sky.
But this matter concerns the future of the little golden retriever and Nawaki. Kushina is willing to believe it, but the idea of limb regeneration is too far-fetched.
"If I said I could do it, would you believe me?" Fu Heiyao chuckled.
I will trust you without reservation.
But this is so absurd, it can't be explained to someone like you who isn't a medical professional.
When it comes to medicine, Kushina puffed out her chest, feeling confident that she was capable again.
However, her mood had calmed down considerably. In her mind, Fu Heiyao's image was still quite reliable, and if he made a promise, he could keep it.
"That's enough. You've only read a few books. You'd be lucky to even get a basic understanding of medical ninjutsu with real skills."
Fu Heiyao scoffed.
"How dare you! How dare you question Lady Kushina!" Kushina was furious, but seeing that Fushiko remained unmoved, she was at a loss and could only resort to acting cute and charming:
Please, tell me.
She really wanted to know what Fu Heiyao, a fragile person who usually needed her to treat even the smallest injuries, could do if even her healing constitution couldn't do it.
Fu Heiyao sat up and casually took out a brand-new black coat from his shadow space and put it on.
Kushina was dumbfounded.
"Is this also a form of psychic magic?"
Kushina felt that Fushiko was practically a god in the ninja world who controlled instantaneous and no-spell techniques.
Not only does it have no wind-up before casting ninjutsu, but it can also cast summoning jutsu instantly.
"Let's go, I'll show you my biggest takeaway this time."
Fu Heiyao's strong confidence was palpable.
"Is it the Sharingan?"
"How did you know?" Fu Heiyao asked, puzzled.
He remembered that no one knew about this except for Sakumo and Minato, so how did Kushina find out so quickly?
"I've wanted to ask you this since the beginning: why are you always looking at me with your Sharingan open?"
